Speaker 3 (01:12):
It's a podcast called twenty five Whist Stocking and they
are whist. So yeah, it's too bad, but what did
you expect.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
It's a podcast called twenty five Whist Souls Wine for.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
The show Eddie Buldwhistle We Are Back. Eddie was telling
me a story at dinner last night about the Siamese twins.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
It caught everyone's attention, it did, I could stop thinking
about it.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
So there are these two Siamese twins. The brothers are connected.
They're not connected to the shoulders, they're connected like the
mid section. Yeah, and one of them straight, one of
them is gay.

Speaker 5 (01:50):
Oh no, oh god.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
And we debated for forty five minutes how that goes.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Lots of questions about it, but no answers, no answers
because we don't know them.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Yeah, and so my, well, lots of theories. But if
one straightened one is gay. Let's say the straight one
is like making out with a lady and he's like
and then she like does stuff to his stuff, and
and there's the their stuff. Yeah, but but it has
to be like thinking about it because they have one
winner like everything heads and two sets of shoulders. But

(02:27):
then as it goes down to the middle, they connect.

Speaker 6 (02:29):
Close your ass, close your ass.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yeah, you can close your eyes all you want.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
So my theory is one of them as something's happening
to him, is like oh yeah, and the other one's
like like trying to vomit the whole time. And then
my theory was do you put up a curtain in
between them.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Like pregnancies?

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah, but but that goes all the way down, so
it has to be like a curtain that has like
a cardboard that goes under the chin so you don't
see even though you are feeling. We spent forty five
minutes talking about this last night, and his story started
with I saw this on TikTok and I'm like, oh no,
who knows how true it is? And he found he
brought it.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Up and I sent you the link just so you
would believe.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Me, and it's a true story. And I'd love to
have him on the show and talk to them about Oh.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
My gosh, that would be amazing. We have lots of questions,
So which one would Oh, you talk to both of them?
I guess yeah, yeah, I thought I stopped myself in
the middle of it because like, which one would you
like talk to? Well, you're gonna talk to both of.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Them, I know, I just because they list like different things.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Because that you're right, Like, that was a funny conversation.
We talked about it, blah blah blah blah. On the
way home. My wife started researching more too, and then
she found the other set of Siamese twins, which are girls,
and she was talking about how one of them wants
to go to like law school, and the other one
just wants to cut hair for a living. So it's like, oh,
what do you do?

Speaker 1 (03:44):
But one studies while the other one cuts. But I
would say the weird part of that is when she's
like in the courtroom, you're on.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Her, what does the other one do?

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Like and like, if you're gonna go to law, if
your sister's go to law school, you might as well
just take the classes too, because you're there anyway.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Can you not be interested at all? Like you could
literally bore you or have two different brains though one
actually maybe maybe smartest not the word, but is uh
better in tune with reading and learning from a book
where another one is doesn't learn that way.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Another one's more creative one.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
But to me, it's a straight gay more than it
is the jobs.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
It's yeah, crazy man.

Speaker 5 (04:25):
And imagine being the person on the other side of it.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, but that's already a thing. Like and that's what
Eddie said too. I said they're fetishes for everything.

Speaker 5 (04:33):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
That, yeah, And because I don't know if it's the
same two girls, but one of them like once married,
one of them is married, and like they want to
have a kid.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
And that dude like is married.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yes, yeah to a dude. That's a different set of
sim and.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
It's a different kind of Okay, Okay, any dude that
wants to marry Siamese twins, he didn't he made one
of them, I know. But then come on, I know
what you're doing. It's all messed up.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
But is it a two and a half some? Is
it a it's not three nick half.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
It's so weird.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
So anyway, I guess I'm thinking about that, thought about
it all night, and that was that's what I wanted
to lead it.

Speaker 5 (05:11):
And I'm picturing it, but I don't even know if
I want to look it up.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Can I do another Eddie story as we start? The
Eddie thinks he has a teacher in high school and
wanted to have sex with them. And he was telling
us a dinner last night. Yeah, Eddie was dominating the
conversation last night, not because he was like I must
be the person that talks. He was just on fire.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
They were just little things that came up and I
was like, I have something to add to that, like
and I don't know's.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
I was not a part of whatever it was where
this came up. I just heard you say my teacher
wanted to have sex with me in high school.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
We were talking. Somebody was talking about how they would
cheat it in high school and there was a girl
that helped him cheat and I was like, was she hot?
And he said eh, And then we started talking about
teachers and that's how this came up. And and now
that I'm older, I see it clearly.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Please explain to the fellas here, why you think you
had a teacher in high school that wanted to have
sex with you?

Speaker 3 (05:52):
When I graduated high school, there was a teacher, an
English teacher that we had and on once we graduated.
At the graduation ceremony, she said, if some of you
guys want to come to the house. She talked to
me and two of my friends, if some of you
guys want to come to the house and have a drink, like,
I'll make one for you. And at the time I
told my buddies like we were talking about like should
we go, like that sounds kind of fun?

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Raider one through ten, six and a half. If you're
a nigh school and as that she was, you're superior exactly.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
At the time, we're thinking, like that's so cool of her.
It is it's like want us to go over and
have drinks, Like that's awesome. We're eighteen, Like you.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
Guys didn't have any other thoughts other than like this
is cool.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
No, not one but now and then you didn't think
she want to have sex with no.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Oh, So it's just all I got it.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Now that I'm older, it's like I understand it's probably
a lonely weird.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Was she lonely?

Speaker 3 (06:44):
Is you're single?

Speaker 1 (06:45):
But was she?

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Like?

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Did she have boyfriends?

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Do you know? Not that I knew of?

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Okay, can I ask you the question I asked you
last night?

Speaker 3 (06:52):
I don't know what I asked Eddie.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
I said, do you think if you and your two
buddies would have gone over to her house? And she
was like, I'll fix you drinks? And you had no idea.
And then she was like, I want to have sex
all three of you at the same time. Would you
have done it? Like all three of you you're all
naked with her, like fulfilling her fantasy? Would you have
done it?

Speaker 3 (07:10):
And my answer last night was yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
It's a story. I just don't feel like I want
to get naked with dudes.

Speaker 5 (07:19):
I have to have a couple drinks. I know, Bobby,
so obviously you couldn't.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Maybe that's why rinks.

Speaker 5 (07:24):
You couldn't just do that like dead sober. No, but I.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Appreciate your honesty where all three of you are just
like naked with her, even outside of that, Like, I
don't have a lot of those letter rips, not even sex,
but like anything, so I don't have I wish I
had more of letter rip.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
It was kind of a mantra when I was younger, Dude,
like this letter rip, whatever happens happened, it's interesting. Yeah
I changed now though, Dude, I'm married, four kids.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah for sure. This is my wife's birthday party last night.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Oh no.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
But again, he wasn't like demanding that he'd hold court.
It was just the first thing I was like, you
about this, Simon twenty one of them gay, one straight.
And then way we went and he goes. Then I
heard him because I'm just trying to like talk to people.
I don't even like talking to people. But he's just
and then Ed is like, yeah, yeah, I think my
high school teacher don't have sex with me. And I'm like,
all right, I'm just going to dedicate fully to this

(08:15):
because he's on it. Like give the hot hand the ball,
like you take it.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
That was just a couple of weeks off. I guess
just kind of let it up.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Those good good one.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
Thank you man, Kevin.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Yeah, God, dang, dude, what's what's happening. I cannot believe
the Patriots won. You lost the first round pick. That's
your team. I was so upset for you, Like and
then they fire the coach. Yeah, like there was nothing
fire on before the game to make sure they lose.

Speaker 5 (08:45):
So I was thinking about it, and maybe it's like
a wishful movie type scenario where Craft went to him
before the game, like, hey, if you win this game,
you will not come back, and he's like, I'm gonna
stick it to you because I love my players. And
then he won the game, and after the game, Craft like,
you know what, You're out, dude. I tried to tell
you no chance.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
No. I mean, that's a cool storybook line.

Speaker 7 (09:06):
But remember a couple of years ago, Lovey Smith did
that and got fired.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
And lost him the pick. Yeah, but he was getting
fired anyway. Yeah, he was like he knew he was
for sure out.

Speaker 5 (09:14):
Or not the interim but the one year coach. Yeah,
whatever it was. But yeah, that's kind of how I
pictured it. And then it's like the reality said and
it's like you had the.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Number one pick.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
I know, So how does that happen? Is it the
players just being like we're gonna play here.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
The thing about football was different than basketball. You can't
it throws, that's gambling. You can't tank a.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
Football game because there are too many players.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Because everybody's competing for a job for next season. For
everything's on film, you're not. You can't take a football
a game. So a head coach can make personnel decisions
to actually affect the game. But nobody's gonna play less
hard because also you can. That's how you get injured too,
going sixty percent. So you're not gonna have players go

(09:58):
sixty percent out of our percent. You can put worse
play y is in, which is ends what's happening. What
happens to basketball when they tank, they just don't. They're
calf strain. They management, the best players don't play, and
they lose by playing worset players that even those players
play hard. That you just put it in bad players.
But yeah, I know they they I couldn't, dude, I
could not they You had the number one.

Speaker 5 (10:19):
Pick, unbelievable and in a draft class that's really not
very good. So you needed, we needed and we don't
need a quarterback obviously, which is great. We're in great
position number one pick. We can trade it and load
up because somebody's gonna be desperate for Sanders or cam Ward,
whoever it is, and we go and win.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
So five six now four four now yeah, three pick, yeah,
four four. Whoa from one to four? So Titans are
one Titans, Browns Giants, Browns Giants, Patriots.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
Yep, Titans need a quarterback.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yeah, tights and everything. Yeah, defensively they're okay in a
couple of places, but they don't have they have they
have a couple of these alignment.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
What quarterback would you take? Cam should here?

Speaker 5 (11:01):
What you do or Clumber? You think?

Speaker 1 (11:03):
I don't know. I don't know. Shoulder is very Joe
Burrow like and and how he plays pretty mobile, but
not a guy who's gonna run the ball a He's not.
He's not a Lamar Jackson. He's not a Josh Allen's mobile.
He's big, he runs through things more than around things.
Great arm competitor. I mean, probably should over. I don't

(11:30):
trust cam Ward.

Speaker 5 (11:31):
I don't either. I think everything he does in college
there's no way that works in the NFL. Caleb Williams
can't do it. There's no way cam wardon do it.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Also, who cares what I trust? Because I know nothing
except I watched games and talk to people who at
times are involved in it. But I'm not ere acting
like I'm an expert. But I mean, I would they
have to have a quarterback. They could trade They could
trade that pick and get a quarterback, Like do you
go and trade it for a three or four and

(12:00):
can get a Cousins, you know, as it's kind of
a stop gap for a couple. I mean, because obviously
Kirk Cousins was hurt a lot of this year. I
don't think what we saw the bad version of Kirk Cousins.
We saw was the healthy version of Kirk Cousins. They
pay him one hundred million bucks or over the whole,
and he's not gonna get all that, Yeah, and they're
gonna cut him before March, I think, to save a

(12:21):
bit of money. But they could trade that and take
a haul and and if you're missing a lot of
parts and you're not trying to win right away, okay,
but if you don't have a quarterback and a coach,
you're not gonna win. Yeah, like period. So I guess
it's just what the Titans want to do. The Titans
colors are slow, though, just the baby blue, the blues,
it's a slow color. It doesn't.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
The oilers is cool.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
It still looks slow. Those colors are slow colors.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
Earl Campbell was not slow, but he wasn't he's big.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
You're not making sense because he's.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
Not true he was fast.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
You're talking about Chris Johnson was fast.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
Oh, I'm talking about the Oilers, the Blue guys.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
True Hill, Yes, Singer.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
No, No, he was a receiver for the Oilers back
in the day. I think, I think.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
I don't I could. I don't know. They could trade
that and get a Cousins if they trade for Cousins
before or who else? Who else would even be on
the market.

Speaker 5 (13:18):
It depends what Minnesota does. Obviously with Sam Darnold.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Too great call there because they're gonna have to retign.

Speaker 5 (13:24):
The Steelers, Russell Wilson, justin Fields.

Speaker 7 (13:26):
That's another one.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Anybody going through quarterback rehab right now, meaning the Baker
Mayfield or the Sam Donald because it's like like at
Trubisky's a backup forever now, like he did his little
He's a backup forever.

Speaker 5 (13:38):
Yeah, and then even Carson wentz he had a shot
and it was god awful.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
What about menschhew he's down to.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Like all those guys the menshees aid and O'Connell, like,
I can't think of anybody else going through quarterback rehab.
Oh you know, but they're not gonna trade him out
because he's actually good again as Bryce Young.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
Yeah, he played great yesterday.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
They lost a couple of games in the six. But
he's like, he looks like the real deal. And I
know I'm biased because I like Bryce Young a lot
and I've stood by him. Him and bone Nick's been
my guys. But everybody else is like, you're an idiot.
I'm like, I know, but still I like bo Nicks
and I like Bryce Young.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
I like Bryce Young smiling after he scores a touchdown, Like,
did you guys see that?

Speaker 1 (14:15):
He was so nice?

Speaker 3 (14:16):
He's so nice.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
We spent time with even so nice. Okay, I guess
somebody to tell you guys, sadly, Casey, this doesn't involve you,
since you're the newest person.

Speaker 5 (14:24):
No, sorry, we've all been there, dude.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
I know you're the newest, but I I've been waiting
to tell you guys this. But I have a Super
Bowl tickets. No way, no way, here's the thing.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
Oh it's a caveat only one of you could go.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
No, no, figure it out. No, I'm out twenty thirty five.
I do have us super Bowl tickets in New Orleans
coming up February ninth. But oh no, no, no, no,
that's not the.

Speaker 5 (15:07):
Okay, okay, just make it serious.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
So read my Kevin Eddie myself. That's five. I have
four tickets.

Speaker 4 (15:14):
Oh you need a camera?

Speaker 1 (15:22):
I guess you could. Well. The thing is again, the
plan is to go down. Well I know the plan
is to go down, and we're going to do the
media stuff on Thursday and Friday with all the players
coming through all that.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
Lah la la, that's cool.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
But I have four tickets.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
Are five people, so more people can go. Only four
people can go to the game.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
That's what I'm saying to the And I don't have
a solution, and I'm not This is not a joke.
I have a bet. There's not a bit yet.

Speaker 5 (15:56):
Yeah there will be a.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
Yeah, have to be a bit. But what I would
here's the promise that I would like to hear from
because I'm going. There's no chance I'm not going.

Speaker 5 (16:10):
Okay, so you're out of the question.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Because I got the tickets and I don't even know
how good they are. It doesn't matter if you've never
been to super Bowls. It's funn to Goe've never been
to super Bowls in New Orleans so it's not cold.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
Who's been to a super Bowl?

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Only me? Probably?

Speaker 3 (16:22):
Yeah, definitely not mean.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
What I want you to do, and please do not
talk to each other about it. I want you to
pick who you think should not get the ticket, and
we're going to do that on the show later this week.
You're going to talk and talk it out.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
I mean, I'm ready to go now.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
Oh really, come on, okay, because you always pick on me,
I'm happy. I didn't think about that. It's like Read's
talking himself down.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
I didn't think about that.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Oh my god, you Okay, hold on, Kevin, who do
you think should not get the This is I want
to say one more time. I do not have a
fifth ticket. I'm not coming out of my pocket with
a fifth ticket the end. So this is not a
thing where I'm like just kidding, there's not a fifth ticket, Kevin.

(17:15):
Of you four who should not get the ticket?

Speaker 5 (17:19):
Well, I did think about Read for a second, but
I gotta go with Eddie. I think, listen, listen, Eddie,
and you know you deserve everything you've ever gotten with Bobby.
But you do everything with Bobby right and rightfully, so
the right hand man to Bobby, and I just think,

(17:41):
uh and Read, he's got to go out with a
bang here. He's going out in a few months.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
So charity, I guess, you know.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
Penalizing you because I feel you're talented and and you're
performing has nothing to do with that is at a
level that I feel like it also elevates my level.
Like he's jealousy hating on you.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yes, man, and like now he wants to throw a
bone to Read because he's quitting, Like he's quit. You're
forgetting that Read is quitting.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
It's an interesting strategy though, to go in and put
people up that he doesn't think should be Well, you're
only one of the ones left on the chopping block,
so you're you're putting Eddie on the chop you think
Eddie should not be able to go to the game's
because you're gonna have to go. Everyone's going. We're going
to New Orleans because I got a whole thing. We're
gonna do it. I got a bus. We're doing a
whole thing.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
Oh my gosh, that sounds like so much fun.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
It's gonna be awesome because you and I are gonna do
a couple DGI Gadi shows on the way down. Oh
my goodness for like markets I've turned it.

Speaker 5 (18:31):
Can I change my mind?

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Though I know I'm having to pay for the whole thing,
which sucks. Just everybody night, thank you. But we're gonna
do a couple of stops because some local markets have
been crying that we're not there. But we don't go
anywhere right now. But I'm like, we'll take a bus.
We'll do podcasts on the way down. Stop and do
we have a friend of ours who plays music who's
also going to go with this on the bus but
not going to the game. I don't have ticket for them.

(18:52):
I literally don't have a ticket for them.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
I don't know whoever's not going to the game in
this room can hang out of that person with that
artist have fun.

Speaker 6 (19:00):
And I want to know who I want to hang
out with.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
It's I wouldn't allow it if I wasn't somebody that
we were close to. I'll say it's not George, not George.
That would be answer, because we're super fluch for George.
It's not George, but it is somebody that I feel
comfortable enough being on a bus for two or three
days with Garth. Yeah, that makes sense, okay, So Kevin
picks Eddie, Eddie.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
I mean it's easy. Now. I had an answer, don't do,
don't do.

Speaker 5 (19:25):
But that's not why not.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
No, you need to thought.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
No, I can't pick Kevin now because he's such a
jerky pick what you thought?

Speaker 1 (19:32):
Initially?

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Initially I had to read uh, and I had to
read because he is leaving us. He's quitting, so so
why would we care like his sadness?

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Weren't gonna be around it.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
Yes, that's fair, that's simple.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
That's the whole fight. That's it. Mike. I will say
that everybody here deserves to go.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
It's hard to pick someone, Mike, just say.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
Being in my position, I'll just say me, wow.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
No, Mike, you're not understanding of the game.

Speaker 6 (20:04):
It's funny.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
I was gonna say me, no, you weren't. It was
it was you know, kings as King Solomon said you
both get to go now because you picked yourself. Yeah,
just kidding, right, Mike, Mike, you're really like going, you're
punting the ticket. No, I would love to go. Okay,
then you're in. Pick somebody else. Okay, I'll go read I.

Speaker 5 (20:26):
Don't go, Mike.

Speaker 8 (20:31):
First.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
No, it's a cool experience I want. Okay, here's what
I want?

Speaker 3 (20:35):
Read?

Speaker 1 (20:35):
Who are you going to pick? I was going to
pick myself, I swear, Okay, but you can't pick yourself.
It's like Mike couldn't pick himself. So pick who el
would you pick? Not you?

Speaker 6 (20:42):
Well, then I would only just pick Mike because he
likes going home.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
And but no one's going home.

Speaker 6 (20:47):
I know, but I mean usually on trips like Mike,
Mike usually doesn't stay out and you know, go do
things we do.

Speaker 7 (20:54):
What are we doing like going home?

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Like the super Bowl? I'm saying I don't have an answer. Okay,
so I don't have an answer either.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
I think we got our answer. Read picked themselves.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
Nobody picked.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
I had Kevin, but original.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
No, you're originally you didn't have Kevin.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
Kevin?

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Was you picked when you got pissed?

Speaker 3 (21:15):
Yeah, stupid me.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
I have no conclusion. We're going to have to do
something that is fair and probably like drawing or something.
This is crazy, like some game of skill or something.
I don't even want to do that because because some
people have an advantage.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
It's still.

Speaker 6 (21:35):
Think about this though, I will probably never get to
go to a Super Bowl in my entire life because
I will never purchase tickets because I don't watch.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
You know that none of us would purchase tickets like
I don't know you might, I don't think.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
So what I'm going to think about and considered because
I don't want anybody to back themselves out, because all
four of you guys deserve to go.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
Thank you man, sweet of you, thank you.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
I'm going to come up with some sort of game
or challenge.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
It better not be pickleball.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
No, no, no, it's fair for everyone. Probably a game
of chance, some game of chance, or like operate game
or like yes somebody or like operation or something right
like a or something. But I'm going to say this
one more time. I do not have a fifth ticket.
This is not a bit. I got up. I got

(22:26):
four tickets.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
Okay, this is crazy.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
So four of us will be in the super Bowl.
That's all dables. Back in with the Giants. See that
every hard, I mean, they kept them on. Nobody even cares.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
Who cares? It's funny because like every season, there's a
team I just forget about that even exists, and for
this year is definitely the Giants. Like I haven't watched
one Giants game, don't care about much.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
So yeah, I need to mark off my Eddie thinks
his high school teacher wanted to have sex with him.
I can't notes everything I want to talk talk about.
I watched the murder of Air McNair. Have you guys
watched that?

Speaker 3 (23:04):
What's that? What's that?

Speaker 1 (23:05):
On Netflix?

Speaker 4 (23:06):
You have?

Speaker 1 (23:06):
You have watched it?

Speaker 3 (23:07):
I mean I've watched documentaries on it, specifically, it's part
of that series.

Speaker 5 (23:12):
Yeah, the Untold Untold.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah you watch it.

Speaker 5 (23:15):
Yeah, I watched it a few months ago.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
I've watched it.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Watched Mike, you watch it, Reid? Okay, well you're not
going to super Bowl. That was the.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
Casey.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
So Steve McNair played quarterback for al Corn State. Titans
drafted him third overall. I believe third or fourth overall.
Came was a really good Titans quarterback, made it to
the Super Bowl, a couple AFC Championships, was murdered after
he retired. Turns out he had and you guys can
correct me if I'm messing this up, he had like
an apartment that he was out of renting or own

(23:48):
that he would like have chicks.

Speaker 7 (23:50):
Right down the road the part and so then and
one of them was a little cuckoo.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
He gets murdered.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
It was a mistress.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
Do you say that I'm in the middle speaking, I
s's about it, So no, I haven't said it yet,
but it was It wasn't a sentence that I was currently.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
I thought you may have skipped over.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
He was murdered, and when they came in to find
his body, they also found the body of a woman
with him. Turns out as woman he was dating. But
then there was all this drama between her and him
up before that, and so it looked like a murder suicide,
meaning she killed him, then she killed herself. But during
this documentary, that dude they got him the gun, there's
something happened.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
That's not that something happened.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
I don't think. I don't think she did it. And
documentaries can sway you money.

Speaker 7 (24:34):
And then something happened.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
And then I've seen too many movies to where they
put the gun at someone's head and make them shoot
theirselves in the head. Mm hmm, like where they're like, okay, well,
what's the stages You put the gun in their hand,
they're like drugged and you make them shoot something. That
the dude lied to the cops about the guy. He's like,
I know she was. He told her the gun, and
the cops are like, well you lied to it. He goes,

(24:56):
we have my fiance was next time. I couldn't say
the truth.

Speaker 5 (25:00):
The thing is they didn't go from what I remember,
they didn't really go much further into that, did they.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
I don't think that they went much further into it
back then. So there's not a lot to go on
unless you're investigating it now. I don't think it happened
like we were told it always happened. That's too shady
where some dude just happens to sell a gun lies
to the cops about it. Got all he was went
to jail for, like maybe.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
Murder something else.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
Right assault?

Speaker 3 (25:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah they talk about David Busters at
all on this one.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
Yeah, yeah, we're sure David Busters. Ye's time I met
all the players were going.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
It's crazy because like now, my kids they have birthday
parties at David Busters and every time I go in there,
I look at that bar, I'm like, that's crazy. McNair
was right there like his chick right here. So the
boyfriend that killed them, well.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
We'll call her the murder We don't know. I think
officially she's the one that murdered them. According to the
police reporter. Sure yeah, so we'll say her although there's something.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
Up there, but it's a close case, right, yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
But things can be reopen. I've seen enough CSI.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
They pulled the thing in the box out of the
you know.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
So what what was funny was this dude's talking on
He's like, man, now it's the biggest Titans fan. He goes,
I'm my favorite players. He goes get autographs. I didn't
miss it when the Titans came to Nashville. His girl
is her, and all of a sudden, he's like, we
broke up. We were still living together because we couldn't
afford rent, and all of a sudden, she was my

(26:20):
favorite player.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
Oh weird.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Yeah, And he's like, how almost like my favorite player,
And you're then you start to kind of feel bad
for him, and you should feel bad for him because
like his girl and she's dead and she killed him
and her. But mostly I'm like, yeah, that suck. If
your ex was with like your favorite wrestler, your favorite
ball player, like you didn't even like him.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
Like cowboy, Yeah, my wife, Like like.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
Your wife and dak are together.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
That's the weird.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
I started struggling with it.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
Crazy.

Speaker 5 (26:47):
Then you can't even like watch the team. Everything reminds
you of it.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
And didn't it look like a different and it was
a different Nashville. But the Nashville when the Titans moving
town looked like Mountain Pine.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
Yeah, not much, going to nothing?

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Yeah nothing. So you should watch it. Though it's not long.
It's like fifty minutes.

Speaker 5 (27:02):
Yeah, it's not long at all.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
Murder of Aaron McNair. I believe that's what it's called.
Super Bowl odds are out. I let's take a break.
We'll come back. Mike can take a break real quick.
We do have Brandon, we do super Bowl odds. All that,
all right? First, let's do this. Do you have a
spot to read?

Speaker 5 (27:18):
There's just a pick six?

Speaker 3 (27:19):
Cool?

Speaker 1 (27:21):
All right, let's talk about pick six. Oh you played it.
You had to Texas and played.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
This is awesome, man, it's the most fun because what
happens when I leave Nashville and I go on like
on vacation or whatever. I try to get all my
bets out of the way, you know, And there were
just obviously too many NFL bets that I could not
make when I left.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Because our state allows DraftKings. Correct, Texas does not.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
So when I realized I was down in Texas and
I can play pick six, let's go, baby, it was awesome. Dude.
You can even do kickers on pick six.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
A lot of states that you can't do normal DraftKings.
You can do pick sick, which is and I can't
really say anything more than that. Yeah, thank god it's
in Texas.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
You did it. It was awesome.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
So so you pick play and then you picked it
over and under. On stats you.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
Can do as little as two players, or you can
do ten players. The more players you do, the more
money you get.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Obviously, you can do passing yards over under, starting.

Speaker 3 (28:10):
Out, rushing yards or receptions, interceptions, sacks, field goals made,
if field goals attempted. Dude, it is awesome.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
So if you are a listener and you're like, oh,
I can't ever do DraftKings and do the bets they
do it because it's not allowed in our state, Hey
go download the pick six app.

Speaker 5 (28:25):
Yeah, did you ever feel more confident in that than
you do like a line or something. I feel like
i'd be like, oh, so and SO is gonna get
receptions for sure, compared to like, oh, I don't know
they're gonna win this game.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
I felt so confident every single time I placed bets.
Nice I didn't win much, but I felt confident.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Oh dude, I'm I'll tell you the minute. Let me
finish this download. The new DraftKings Pick six app used

Speaker 1 (29:11):
Yeah, sometimes you get on a heater and like, it
doesn't matter the game, it doesn't matter the spread, it
doesn't matter the player. You're just like, I am so confident.
It's rare. But sometimes you get on that heater and
I tend to not believe that my heat's gonna last,

(29:33):
So then I start to get a little timid. But
you just on it and everything wins. Rare that is
exactly the opposite. What's happened to me? Like I've been
in the freaking freezer this month because all my DraftKings.
You now look and see. My favorite thing is what
they call the stat sheet. This month, dude, it's the seventh,

(29:57):
it's the sixth, it's the sixth. This month, I'm negative
four thousand and ninety nine dollars. I've missed. I've missed
every game. I've missed it, which is literally not true
because I've wagered five thousand, hundred and forty six and
one nine forty six. But I'm telling you, I call

(30:21):
coach for kids because I need some sort of charity
because I am. I'm frozen.

Speaker 3 (30:26):
Are you used all kinds? Live better?

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Let it go, Let it go frozen. Somebody get a
chip ding ding ding chip me out of this thing.
Uh yeah, no, dude, I've tried everything O kind and
so I just don't know what. I don't know what's up.
I don't know what to do except just say saying
the game.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
I was gonna say, okay, I'll say it, take a break,
but okay.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
I bet that, And I'm like, you know what, I
can't be that frozen. Yesterday it was the Chiefs minus
ten and a half, and I thought maybe the Chiefs
with it's not like their quarterback doesn't have any starting experience.
And I know Chris Jones was out and most of
those guys, but I was like, they're playing the Broncos.
About five hundred team, Chiefs were plus ten and a half.

(31:09):
About a thousand bucks, Chiefs plus ten and a half.
First quarter. I was like, let it go, let it go.
I'm begging for a coat. Is a dude was awful.
Every college football playoff game, big losses, all the way around.
It's been terrible. So when people like, oh, you only
talk about your ones, No, I don't. I've had pretty
successful runs in the past six months. Don't get near

(31:32):
me in case I'm contagious, because it's going around. There's flu,
there's neurovirus, there's covid, and then there's what I have
right now, and I'm going to affect you. That's roughs.
It doesn't matter what I pick, I lose. I even
reversed myself on a game yesterday. I bet two hundred
and fifty bucks. It was the Cowboys plus two and

(31:53):
a half and they were winning, and I was like,
I've never bet on the Cowboys playing the Commanders because whatever.
So I said, so I'm gonna bet on the Cowboys.
They lost by four. I couldn't even reverse my reverse.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
I lost on that one too. It's reason in here.
It's freezing.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Read's been sick. Read sitting by himself. He's like, oh,
I'm good man, I know, I know. I got really
sick on Friday, vomiting. Yeah, And so I was like, hey, man,
you know got to come in. He said, no, I'm
all good. I've not heard of a virus that's all
out of you by Monday. No, yeah, it's probably wouts. Yeah,
I think you shouldn't want to get you.

Speaker 5 (32:27):
Guys, probably all the way to February ninth.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (32:29):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Kevin's like, February tenth, come back. So okay. So there's that.
I just wanted to make sure we all knew what
was up. We're gonna talk to. Brandon Marcelo now writes
for twenty four seven Sports. Check out his articles twenty
four seven dot com. Follow him at Brandon Marcelo. He
is the college football guy. And how why I restate
because then you'll hear early in this I'm like, hey,

(32:52):
we're here to Brandon Marcelo. I think a lot of people,
not so much Brandon because he knows me, but it
did happen here. I think a lot of people don't
really we're doing the interview because I talked the same
in real life as I do in the interview. We've
had coaches that have been like pretty vulgar, not mean,
but like in saying like hilarious stuff, and then we realized, oh,
they didn't know they were doing the interview yet. And

(33:14):
so Brandon comes on and you can leave all the intro,
the beginning stuff only after it. But I say, hey,
Brandon Marcelo, so he knows that we're in official because
I just think people hear me talk and they're like, oh,
the interviews'm going he's talking like a normal human and
not even that well. So that's why, Yeah, that's why
I say, hey, we're Brandon Marcelo. But we talked about
a lot of New Orleans stuff. So we're gonna do this,

(33:36):
so Brandon and we'll come back after this. Hey Brandon.
In the last couple of weeks, it seems like you
were in a lot of different places. Where did you
go to games.

Speaker 4 (33:44):
This past week? I went down to New Orleans for
the Sugar Bowl. I was there for a few days,
a couple of days longer than I thought it was
going to be.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
Oh, because of the guy that the terrorists that drove
into the truck.

Speaker 4 (33:58):
Yeah. Yeah, I was actually on new duty that day.
As a result of that, I had to go down
and go cover that head go to police headquarters and everything.
So a little bit of an old wild wild situation.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
Uh okay, Brandon Marcelo was on with us. Were you
talk about that for a second?

Speaker 4 (34:14):
Yeah, you know, I I woke. I was playing on
sleeping in that morning, you know, I think like a
lot of people in New Orleans, and I got a
call from my boss asking if I was okay. It
woke me up, and I was like yeah. I immediately
thought he was thinking, like, Brandon must be drunk. He's
like so I thought I thought he was asking me
if I was hungover, But no, he's like, no, are

(34:35):
you okay? There was a terrorist attack in New Orleans
last night. And immediately shot out of bed and like
ran over to my window because I didn't know what
that meant. And then he filled me on the details,
and you know, he said you know, you know, you
don't really need to go out and go cover that,
so to speak, but you know, look into the game,
see if the game is still going on. Everything. So
I got up, went down for breakfast, and found out

(34:57):
there was going to be like a press conference at
the police head So I just said, you know, screw it,
I'm gonna go down there. Went down there, did some reporting,
ran into a congressman, ran into the sheriff of Orleans Parish,
and then we had a press conference, I think at
one o'clock. But during that time, a lot of information
was starting to leak about the game. But it was
gonna be played. It was gonna be delayed, and it

(35:17):
was a weird scene just because it was the FBI
was there, Homeland Security was there, obviously, the police force
was there. About four hundred police officers were on the
streets at that point. The place was just crawling with
uniformed officers.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
Yeah, and then they delayed the game, which obviously was
not the most important part of that day, but still
a lot of a lot of moving parts, right, And
I would think it may even be easier to delay
it a week than a day, Like I don't know,
you were you were a part of that situation, Like
when did they make that decision and what did they

(35:53):
do differently in that one day time? Did they like
bring in people to make it more secure.

Speaker 4 (35:58):
Yeah, so I guess about like seven and a half
eight hours before the game was supposed to kick off,
they made the decision to delay it one game one day,
and they still hadn't set a time. They just said
twenty four hours, and so at that point that started
leaking and then they finally confirmed it right after one
o'clock local time, and you know a lot of fans
were scheduled to leave that next day fly out and everything,

(36:22):
so a lot of fans did leave. The attendance for
the game only ended up being fifty seven thousand something
and change, and the capacity there as well, over seventy thousand.
It was still a great atmosphere, but a lot of
people just had to go home because of travel. Interestingly,
all the airlines decided to refund tickets or whatever, give
them travel credits for free, no cancelation fees if they

(36:43):
had to do anything out of New Orleans. So a
lot of fans were able to stay as results of that,
just financially. But I talked to several families and stuff
at Team hotels about it, and some of them just
didn't feel like safe staying there. But it was incredible
just how much more security was in that in that city,

(37:04):
you know, less than twelve hours after that attack happened.
I mean Canal Street, which is where I was staying on,
which is right off Bourbon Street. I was about eleven
hundred feet away from where the attack happened. It was
just you couldn't get anywhere without seeing a police officer
about every two seconds in your field of view, and
sirens are going off everywhere. And I guess what was

(37:25):
so really really crazy about all of the such a
tragic situation, obviously just terrible, was that, you know, in
the morning hours, they were telling everybody to stay indoors
because they were still sweeping the city for explosives. They
didn't know if there were other explosives in the city,
and so they were telling anybody to stay in And meanwhile,
I left my hotel room obviously to go to that

(37:45):
press conference, and you know, there was a lot of
people just walking around the streets like it was a
normal day, and you know, that's just New Orleans for
you just can't slow people down there, whether tourists or locals.
But you know that I can't imagine the pain and
everybody's going through in that city because it's so resilient anyway,
that's kind of in its DNA. It's New Orleans, it's
a Crescent city, it's a big easy you know, it's

(38:08):
party all the time. You know, it never sleeps. But
you could tell, like later that afternoon when everything started
settling in, people were kind of shaking up a little
bit about it. Not as many people on the streets
as you would expect.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
Did they do anything security at the game or they're
like metal detectors or anything. When you got there. That again,
because I only had a day. That's why I thought
it would be harder to get it flipped over in
a day than a couple of days or even more
than that. What about when you got there.

Speaker 4 (38:31):
Yeah, they they up security. I mean they had a
lot more officers there. The I mean I saw Homeland
Security there. I saw FBI agents there, special agents with
Homeland Security, and then of course the police force. They
had bomb dogs outside sniffing every vehicle that was parking
in the parking garage as well. As any team buses
or even media buses that were coming up, so we

(38:52):
had to like stand on the bus for about five
minutes as the dog was going around metal detectors at
the entrances. Nothing like too out of the ordinary as
far as like just going through the entrances, because if
you go to games now anywhere really and everybody knows this,
it's like security is pretty amped up anyway, with metal
detectors and people, you know, all that stuff, so you know,

(39:13):
for the media, it took us maybe five minutes to
get through security, which wasn't too outrageous, but it was
a very good thing to see, especially the canine officers.
And then when you walk through the stadium, I mean
it was I don't know how many law enforcement were there,
but it was substantial because I've never been in a
college football game where I've seen the FBI and Homeland

(39:34):
Security just walking around among the crowd.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
With Marty Girl. And then the Super Bowl in February,
you were just there as that happened. Would do you
think twice about being a part of one of those
events in New Orleans?

Speaker 4 (39:48):
Personally? Yes, because I mean, but the thing is, it's
just like any big city's going to have security issues anyway.
You can't keep an eye on everything at any time.
And because of the way New Orleans has structured all
the small streets, side streets and everything, I mean, it's
pretty much just foot traffic anyway, so like anybody can

(40:08):
come and go and with that attack, you know, the
big question there was the security measures as far as
just the ballards, the security ballards that would go up
at the end of Bourbon Street or some of these
party roads I would call them, where you know, people
can just walk on the roads like Bourbon Street, and
those security ballers are just like if you go to
a you know, the shopping mall or whatever, you see

(40:31):
those metal posts like yellow posts or whatever in the
parking lot. They're like those, but they raise up out
of the ground. They can come up and down. And
they also have these things almost called like a wall,
almost called like it looks like a snowplow that comes
out of the ground as well at the end of
the road, so then we can get through it. But
those ballards, the smaller ones are supposed to be on
the sidewalks that come up, so they're staggered. So you
have like one here and then one here behind it,

(40:54):
and so if someone was to try and drive a
car through there, there's absolutely no way from to do it.
But the issue you there is that New Orleans they've
been under repair since November and they weren't working, and
so they've had to put temporary structures up, whether it's
just one of those metal steel gates that you see
like at you know, boxing events or old wrestling events
in the eighties, or they'll park a police car at

(41:15):
the end of the street and just kind of block
it with their car. And obviously they didn't have anything
really on the sidewalk to stop this attacker this past week.
So they say they're gonna have this all fixed before
then for the Super Bowl. But I mean, you know,
you can't be safe really anywhere anywhere these days, and personally,

(41:37):
as I get older, I just want to avoid large
events unless it's work related. But it would definitely be
in the back of my mind if I were to
go to New Orleans and go to one of these
big events, and for that matter, any big event in
any city, but probably especially New Orleans because as I said,
there's just so many little small roads and looking crannies
around the French Quarter that you know, you just never

(41:57):
know what's going to happen there. Plus, as you know, hobby,
you walk around. Every time I'm in New Orleans, I
hear stories about people getting mugged or getting followed around
or whatever because it's such a hotspot for tourists and
the pickpockets are always looking out for you.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
Yeah, and in drunk cities too, it's easier to if
I were a pickpocket, I go to drunk cities because
people are drunk, no clue. Let's talk about that game specifically.
I never got Parker Jones for a second, so and
again we can get to the game, but that first
of all, if I'm a walk on, I'm not getting
right on the sideline anyway, because I don't deserve to be.
And I feel like they're gonna be like, hey, walk on,
move back like I feel like I would just know

(42:32):
my place aside from it total all over the line,
he hit the referee, the referee wiped out through the flag.
He's also he's a walk on. Don't wear such a
bold white undershirt. I thought that was problematic too. Why
are you drawing attention to yourself? Walk on? All those
thoughts happened. Now, what are your thoughts about the Parker

(42:53):
Jones situation as a whole? Should the ref have thrown
the flag the reaction does he transfer? What you think
about that, Brandon?

Speaker 4 (43:01):
Well, I can't see why the ref through the flag
because it's against the rules. But also if it's one
of those situations where it didn't necessarily affect the play
and it else, it didn't affect your involvement with the
play as a referee, you had other officials to help you,
I probably want to throw the flag also, if I'm
sure if you looked at the replay of it, he
would have seen how much of a you know, an
accident was. It wasn't like the kid was legitimately like

(43:22):
three feet into the white zone, you know, along the sideline.
He was just there on the edge and it was
just a huge play and it was the first big
play of the game for either side really, and so
everybody was excited. I feel bad for the kid, just
because now I was there in the stadium, but I
had to broadcast on my computer on the side whatever,
and every time I look down, they were still looked
like they were still talking about the kid over and

(43:42):
over and over. Again, they were making him a superstar
without him really wanting to be a superstar. And I
you know, that's the you know, part of the problem
or part of what you signed up for as a
football player, but not necessarily as a walk on football player.
The other thing is is that because of these playoffs,
now you're able to dress out everybody who's on your roster,
so like one hundred and five hundred and twenty five

(44:03):
kids or whatever. Whereas if it was like a typical
road game during the season, you'd only have like sixty
something players on the sideline, so that walk on would
have never been there. But because of the playoff, they
allow you to travel your entire roster. And I'll tell
you it was so many kids for Georgia that a
lot of their walk ons were in the press conference
room because I was having to do some TV before
the game. Is the only quiet area I could find.

(44:24):
But then it wasn't because there was about twenty five
to thirty walk ons in there getting dressed out for
the game because they didn't have enough room in their
locker room and NFL locker room of all things too.
So they should probably maybe they should just look at
like not allowing that many kids on the sideline. I
know they want the kids to have the experience and
reward them for being there at the game, but that

(44:45):
doesn't necessarily mean they need to be on the sideline
for the game and getting in the way. So maybe
we cut back on that and just for that three
hour period of time they're not with the team, but
the rest of the week they are and they're enjoying
the festivities.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
I did a deep dive on him. I think most
people did. He was a no star recruit. How do
you even get on as a walk on at Georgia
as a no star recruit? Do you know anything about
his story?

Speaker 4 (45:10):
None. I didn't really look into him all that much,
But you know, sometimes it's just a matter of if
you know somebody who knows somebody. And then also a
lot of these teams, including Georgia, they do open tryouts
for walk ons. They'll do walk on tryouts every preseason.
I mean every team I've ever been around, they do that.
Sometime in the middle or early part of August camp.
They'll do tryouts and like maybe bring on a two

(45:30):
or three guys if they've got room on their roster.
But I'll say this in the new era of college
football that's starting up here this upcoming year, with the
scholarship limits and all that, You're not going to see
a lot of Parker Jones is out there anymore. It's
gonna be kids that can actually contribute well.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
Also, with a haircut like that, you're not a cornerback.
He's a cornerback. You can't. I've never seen somebody fast
with that haircut. He's white and with that haircut, no chance.

Speaker 4 (45:58):
He reminded me a lot of like Will mush Champ,
because Will Muschamp looked like that, like playing football as well,
and he was. He was a good football player. Same
with Kirby Smart. Kirby Smart is a really good linebacker
at Georgia, But like you will linebacker.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
That's not a cornerback. This guy's my cornerback, like Cooper
De John's the only white corn. I mean when he
came out, they were like.

Speaker 3 (46:18):
Wells white.

Speaker 1 (46:18):
We cannot believe it. There's no chance. As his kids
get and I hope he like bounces back and has
a good career, I'm sure he'll play. If he wants
to play, he'll play at a smaller school. I think
maybe he's a legacy kid though, like maybe his parent
or something played there. But okay, let's talk about that
game for a second.

Speaker 5 (46:33):
Now.

Speaker 1 (46:34):
It's right, everybody's just jumping all over the SEC and
they have their chance. Now, Okay, if you're gonna take
your shots, take your shots, because everybody's doing it, not you,
but everybody's doing SEC sucks. SC sucks. Does the SEC suck?

Speaker 4 (46:45):
No, it's just not as good as it once was,
and it hasn't been the last two years. And for
that matter, college football this year. When we look at
the quote unquote elite team, say the last four teams
in the playoff right now, I wouldn't say that any
of those teams may maybe one of them Ohio State
matches up really with any of the previous teams we've
seen in previous years, even the most recent years. I

(47:09):
wrote this on my column about Notre Dame after that
game that I believe and I know a lot of
other people are saying this too, and I don't think
it's hyperbole that the era of SEC speed and the
athleticism and having that just absolute dominance over the other conferences,
that's over, and not necessarily because it's the fault of

(47:32):
the SEC. It's because of the transfer portal. Because of NIL,
it's spread out talent more than ever. As I've said before,
there's more talent than ever among the big schools, but
it's more spread out than ever. So what you're going
to get is games like this where Notre Dame beats
Georgia because Georgia is just not as good as it
was in the previous years. Same with Alabama. Four losses

(47:52):
this year. And you look at Notre Dame, I think
they got great coaches, but look at every that was
scored in that game. It was by transfers. Like Notre
Dame's never been that type of program in the last
couple of years to just go, let's get transfers in
and depend on them. No, they had to do that,

(48:14):
and that's the way college football has been trending. And
every player that contributed significant moments in that game were transfers,
and in fact, most of them, I think, if not
all of them that scored in that game are transfers
that just arrived this past offseason. Got Ryo Leonard at quarterback,
Jaydon Harrison, the kid who returned the kickoff for a touchdown.
He was at Marshall you know Bo Collins who caught

(48:36):
the touchdown pass transfer from Clemson. Uh, times have changed
and the SEC's days of having exclusivity to the athletes
in the South are over. Those kids now are going
up north even more than they have in the pass
and I think that will continue. And what's really going
to hurt the SEC, in my opinion, even further potentially,

(48:58):
is that all the money in nil with boosters and
everything is up north. In these big ten schools. They
have the bigger boosters, They have the bigger NIL collectives
than anybody in the SEC. And that is what's going
to attract this talent even more so over these next
two or three years, because now everybody's paying twenty twenty

(49:19):
two million dollars a year and then on top of that,
people are going to be paying nil money on top
of that, and the big ten schools have the deeper pockets,
the bigger donors, and I think that could potentially sink
the SEC even further.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
And the SEC can't stock pile like they did because
it's so easy to leave if you're like the old
Georgia teams. So they had three NFL running backs. The
we even go back, we could do this all day.
With all these SEC teams, the Georgia's, the Alabamas. You
can't do that because if you're third straining and you're awesome,
you're just not gonna sit. You're going to go somewhere else.
And so again the depth will not be there anywhere,

(49:55):
but everywhere we'll have better ones because the big schools
aren't able to hold three ones.

Speaker 4 (50:01):
You can't hold them. And you know that thing with
Georgia and Alabama, they would hold them and develop them
in their system so that by the year two, year three,
not only are they obviously ready to play, but they
also understand the system and they've been playing in it
in practice for two years, so they're ready to start
and not just start, but excel in the system. Now
these kids are going I'm not starting after a year,
I'm gonna go transfer elsewhere, and they don't quite get

(50:21):
the development. I mean, you could say I've been coached
the last two or three years, but you're being coached
by two or three different coaches. Everybody does things differently,
and I think that's going to start start showing up too, Bobby,
is that we're going to see players that just aren't
as refined technique wise and fundamentally as some of these programs,
And if you're a program like Georgia, what Georgia is
trying to do right now is they believe that they

(50:43):
can bring the kids in and maybe not like they
have in the past, where you say you got three
guys three deep and keep them on campus all three
four years, but they believe that they just do two
They could still do that. They're still focusing on maybe
we can keep enough kids here and develop them and
bring them up the system. But man, that is so
difficult to do with the out paying those kids more.
I mean, if you're gonna do that, if you're in
Georgia at this point, you're gonna be like, we got

(51:05):
to pay our backup, you know, you know two times
what he's going to be potentially making elsewhere just to
keep him on campus.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
Let's go to the Texas game. And I'm a big
believer that kickers need to be like ci agents. They
don't need to be noticed for being any different because
when they mess up and this Auburn guy has long
hair earlier, it's just too much. It's too much if
you're a kicker, because when you mess up, we as
a kicker. You need to be normal. You need to

(51:36):
be like five nine, five ten, skinny. We don't wanted
to know what your face looks like. You need to
stay to the side because when when it's not when
you have something about you that stands out physically, we
will never forget it. I will never forget besideshow Bob's
hair coming out of that helmet, that Texas helmet. So
my role would be like the New York Yankees. No
facial hair for kickers, no long hair, no big bold glasses.

(52:00):
You're not wearing them one sock up or down. You
look as generic as possible, like a CIA agent, and
you kick the ball because that makes you like it
makes me not like him. I don't know. I don't
like Texas anyway, hate Texas, But your thoughts on kickers
just need to look standard because we just kick the
freaking ball.

Speaker 4 (52:15):
That's a problem. Like kicker, as soon as they can
walk on a field, you automatically hate them, even if
you're a fan of that team, because you're just like,
don't screw this, he's run.

Speaker 3 (52:23):
You're right, Yeah, when.

Speaker 4 (52:25):
A quarterback goes out there, you know, get subbed in
or whatever. You're not going oh, man, here comes the backup. No,
sometimes you're thinking, oh yeah, you know, because the hope
is always something's better with the kicker. It's always worse.
We're always assuming the worst.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
And kickers don't have swags. Kik kiers don't have swag
at all for any reason. A quarterback can have, like
he can have something about him. They're like, dang, he
deserves along here earring that chains that quarterback, like that's
what he's about. The greatest kicker does not deserve that
Auburn guy's hair. Nah.

Speaker 4 (52:51):
Yeah, well that and you know, it didn't help that
his coach was like got up in his face and
gave him a little like Tony Robin, let's let's kiss.

Speaker 1 (52:59):
Here a moment.

Speaker 4 (53:00):
Yeah, it was funny. I was in the Georgia team
hotel in the lobby watching the end of that game
with a bunch of Georgia fans and player parents and everything,
and man, they were cheering hard against Texas. They're like,
we do not want to see Texas for a third
time this year on the football field if they advanced
in the playoffs, and of course Georgia don't have to

(53:22):
worry about that now. But but when bird r Auburn
was missing those kicks. It was as if they were
Texas fans. They were going, oh my god, Like even
though they wanted him to miss those kicks, they're like,
oh my god. So it's just something inherent in all
of us. I think with football, it's just like it
just changed. Kickers change our attitude because I almost think
we see them as like the nerd on the field,

(53:44):
like this band. Nerd doesn't deserve to be on me.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
The nerd though, Yes, you need to be the nerd
and not the long haired Yeah. Yeah, okay, so let's.

Speaker 3 (53:51):
Do this right. I went real quick.

Speaker 4 (53:52):
I want to bring this up.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
Yeah, go ahead, I'm ready to see this.

Speaker 4 (53:54):
The kicker. I don't know what team it was, so
forgive me. I just came to my mind. The kicker
went out well during halftime this past week to warm
up while the band was still.

Speaker 3 (54:04):
On the field, that's all that.

Speaker 4 (54:05):
And he was kicking, trying to kick balls between like
the drum line and the tuba section.

Speaker 1 (54:10):
Yeah, and the.

Speaker 4 (54:12):
Fans went nuts on him. They went after him. Usually
everybody just hates the band, they'll tack the band, but
they went after that kicker. So again, kickers, you have
like you can't do anything right. I mean, but if
it was a defensive tackle out there warming up and
he knocked a trombone player down just as a tackle.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
Say yeah, hell yeah that showbiz baby, it's like punt
and just will stay on this for just one more second.
Like I hate. The worst job would be a punter
because nobody ever wants to see you, even your own team.
A kicker, yeah, you're like you're gonna ruin this, we
know it. There's a negative feeling. But if you ever
have to see your punter, that's in a negative situation,

(54:47):
Like think about that. You're only on the field whenever
your own team does not want to see you. That
sucks to be a punter. I'd probably be a punter
and a kicker, and I would have my haircut short,
and i'd be in contact. I'd be as low key
generic as possible. Okay, so Ohio State looks ungodly good now,
like they figured it out. I don't know they're they're

(55:10):
gonna dog walk Texas. I feel like, but yeah, if
Ohio State just plays to what they're kind of capable of,
can anybody stop them?

Speaker 4 (55:18):
I like Notre Dame's defense potentially against them.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
Their cornerbacks are really good. Notre Dame doesn't. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (55:24):
Yeah, that's the one matchup I see remaining in this
playoff that could challenge Ohio State. I don't think Penn
State matches up well at all with Ohio State. They
played earlier this year. It was a quote unquote low
scoring game. Ohio State won twenty to thirteen. Penn State
missed a lot of opportunities that game, but so did
Ohio State, and I think that got overlooked. And with

(55:46):
that being quote unquote a neutral site the National Championship
game instead of being at happy value like it was
early this year, that's just not a good matchup. Also,
Ohio State wasn't playing anywhere near as well as it
is right now. I think this Ohio State team, Bobby
reminds me a lot of say like a superstar NBA
team that just goes through the motions in the regular
season and then once it comes playoff time, they just

(56:08):
go off. They tap into that something special that's in
them and we all know, oh yeah, that's why they're
the richest roster in college football, because they've got the
best players and they've turned it on when they had to.
And you know, I reversed a week or so ago
my pick for Oregon Ohio State because I saw how
State played in that Tennessee game, and then also talk
to some people around the program about how they were

(56:30):
doing some dang things differently offensively, and they're just like,
we're just gonna stop shining away from throwing the ball
to Jeremiah Smith. He's the best player in all of
college football, so we're gonna throw it to him, even
though he's a freshman. They got away from that a
little bit near the end of the season, and boy,
he's tearing it up now and Oregon just had no
answer for him, and no one in this playoff I
think is going to be able to slow him down
other than made a Notre Dame. Notre Dame's got the

(56:52):
best corners in all of college football, not just this playoff,
and they could slow them down. My question, though, is
can Notre Dame actually score enough points if they were
to meet in the National Championship game, because that offense
it's good for maybe three touchdowns in the game, but
good luck getting four or five out of them. And
I think they'll beat Ohio State at this point. The
way they're chugging along, you might end up having to

(57:14):
score that fourth touchdown late in the game, and I
don't know if anybody's equipped in the playoff remaining to
do that.

Speaker 1 (57:20):
I feel like Penn State and Notre Dame is a
better matchup for Penn State to actually win the game
and then get run because I think Penn State can
beat Notre Dame. I think Notre Dame is a one
and a half point favorite, right are they a point favorite?
I think I looked last night. I think that seems
to be a pretty good matchup. The Ohio State Texas game.

(57:41):
I hate Texas so much, and I think what has
avoided Ohio State from being the big bad villain as
those two losses during the season, and it's kept everybody
off of the twenty million dollars. Then it comes up occasionally,
but because they had two losses, because they lost to
Oregon semi middle of the season, they lost again to Michigan,
it's kept them from being the big villain because had
they been undefeated the whole time, I think that would

(58:02):
have been the storyline twenty plus million. They're und but
those losses have made them I won't say likable, but
not near as hateable.

Speaker 4 (58:10):
We also, you have a program under a head coach
who hasn't won the big one, Ryan Day. He has
struggled in top five games and now they're finally winning them.
So in a lot of ways, he's as much of
an underdog as you can be at a blue blood
program that's paying football players twenty plus million dollars. And
you just lost three weeks ago or four weeks ago
against rival Michigan at home. So people are just like

(58:32):
this Ryan Day is not good or whatever. I mean,
he's good, it's just that he kind of gets in
his own way at times. And he's not getting in
the way right now. He's letting that talent play loose
and play the style that they need to play to win.
And you know, it's it's just so crazy. I mean,
back in junior July, you know the question for me
and I talked to Ross York, the Ohio State a

(58:53):
d about this and rot a calumn on it, and
it was what happens if Ohio State loses the Michigan
for fourth straight year? It was thought of unheard of
at that point because Michigan was we thought was gonna
be average or bad. Ohio State had the richest roster
in college football, and he said very much kind of
what he said after this last loss it against Michigan,

(59:14):
that you have to take the big picture into consideration.
It's not just one loss against Michigan anymore. In this
twelve team playoff era, you can lose to Michigan and
still make the playoff. And so what if you won
a national championship. I don't think a lot of fans
will care about them losing the Michigan. But the problem
is is that Michigan fans can still hang that over
your head all off season. Yeah, you won the national championship, buddy,

(59:35):
but guess what, we beat you and we got you
at the Big House this upcoming year.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
So and they won it the year before too, Yeah,
and they won it the year before with Also, it's
like semi sweet chocolate chips to me, Like, I like
chocolate chips, and if I see them the fridge, I'm like, oh,
I'm need some new chocolate chips. And I'm like, you know,
I like I found chocolate chips and I get to
eat them, but they're kind of like semi sweet. That's
kind of like if Ohio State wins the national title.
They got chocolate chips. That's pretty cool. But they're semi
sweek as Michigan beat them and had won the title
the year before. And you're right, I don't hate Ohio

(01:00:02):
State as much as I should. I hope they beat
I hope they stomped. Hope Texas quits, Hope Texas folds
the program. They get beat so bad next week? Okay,
final thing, And you can push back on my theory.
First of all, everyone's like, you don't want the bye
week because the rest, but three of those teams that
lost were the underdogs, so more so than it was
the bye week. I think mostly it wasn't the bye week.

(01:00:24):
It was they got beat by better teams. Your thoughts
on the rest and the people going the bye weeks
one lost it for them.

Speaker 4 (01:00:31):
Yeah, the favorites won for the most part. I mean
they did. And even in the game like Notre Dame
in Georgia, it was like a one or two point spread,
so who won one in that game? I don't think
the buye affected anybody substantially, And in fact, I could
argue that Notre Dame, if they had the buye, would
have beaten Georgia worse. And the reason why I say

(01:00:54):
that is because Notre Dame lost their best defensive player
in the first round against Indiana, Riley Mills defensive tackle
led them in sacks, and he's a big piece for them,
not just defensively, but also strategically and schematically against a
team like Georgia that was going to try and run
the ball up the middle. They didn't have him in
that game, and I think if he's in that game,
that's probably even worse for Georgia. So yeah, I don't

(01:01:17):
buy into the by thing right now. But what I
do buy into, Bobby, is that we got to receive
the bracket. We can't do this crap where we reward
the four top conference champions with the first round by,
so you get like the number ten team or whatever
with the first round by with one of the top
four seeds. Don't do that. Just put the teams in

(01:01:37):
and rank them one through twelve. If you're number four
in your Notre Dame, you get a first round by.
We got to get rid of that. I mean, in
the Insula men's basketball tournament, they don't give conference champions
a first round by. They just go you have a
spot in the tournament. They don't say you have you'll
have one of the top four seeds or one of
the top eight seeds or anything like that. They're just

(01:01:57):
saying you're guaranteed a spot in the playoff. Do it
that way now, guarantee them a spot in the playoff,
but rank them the way they are, and if they're
outside the top twelve, have them bump out that last
team at number twelve, because usually it's going to be
a team that we're all wondering should be in the
playoff anyway. So that's what they need to do.

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
All right, NFL Playoffs, Chiefs and lines getting the one
seeds deserving that's kind of how Minnesota we get it.
Just say that the last longer, that story be longer.

Speaker 7 (01:03:51):
I wish that game was better last night, I know. Yeah, yeah,
it's kind of a letdown.

Speaker 1 (01:03:54):
Yeah, but okay, I'm with it. Like just looking at
the matchups Broncos and Bills, that should that should be
a steam roll, right, should be. You can always say
you never know. Still, this is even one that I

(01:04:15):
would do. I'm so cold though, It's like you don't
even know who I know. Like, that's a two seven.
So that's the best of this round and the worst
of this round. So Buffalo probably right. I don't we
pull up the spreads, Kevin, because I would. I would
guess that one's probably a touchdown on more. Okay, so

(01:04:38):
we'll just we'll just do winners here. But I do
want to hear the spread. So Buffalo is the two.
Let's just say they get that, Okay. Chiefs obviously get
to buy the Ravens and Steelers. Those games are oddly
always good, always good. Yeah, Steelers kind of sucked though,
now again.

Speaker 5 (01:04:55):
Yeah, all of a sudden, they're ten and seven.

Speaker 1 (01:04:57):
Yeah, and after starting so hot. Yeah yeah, but those
games are I still am picking the Ravens. But what's
that spread?

Speaker 5 (01:05:05):
Five nine and a half?

Speaker 1 (01:05:07):
Wow? Yeah, not even based off their previous games. Huh no,
good for Lamar. Okay, so we'll put Baltimore there. So
that means Buffalo and Baltimore if that's the case, we
play in round two because they do. The reseeding The
Chargers in Texas is interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:05:21):
We need a coin for this one.

Speaker 1 (01:05:23):
What's the spread there?

Speaker 3 (01:05:24):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (01:05:25):
Chargers one two and a half Chargers?

Speaker 3 (01:05:27):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (01:05:28):
I definitely see the Texans winning that game. Sure, they've
not played well recently. The Chargers are just consistent. Yeah,
they're just consistent. But I think Kansas City's hoping the
Texans win. You've already had to play the Chargers twice.

Speaker 5 (01:05:42):
Yeah, and the Charger's always playing tough.

Speaker 1 (01:05:44):
Yeah. I'm gonna who do you think who wins that one?

Speaker 3 (01:05:50):
I go Texans any reason, just because I don't. I mean,
I don't think the Chargers are there. I think the CJ.
Stroud still has a little bit of no Tank Dell.
I know Tank Dino is tough, but I mean I
think no.

Speaker 1 (01:06:02):
Arian Foster, Johnson, David Carr car Okay, Texans, I can't.
I mean, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna go Chargers. I think
I'm gonna Chargers too, just because of Harball and Herbert.
Better quarterback, better coach. When it's close. Uh, Casey, I
agree Chargers, so read uh football, We're gonna go Vikings.

(01:06:27):
So then let's say it's the Chargers. Well, case I
can't say, does not want that to happen. You know
the rooting for the Texas, Yeah, don't have to be.
But it's Kansas City and then the Chargers Baltimore than Buffalo.
We'll just run the AFC side. Let's just say it's
Baltimore Buffalo. That's a good game.

Speaker 3 (01:06:45):
You think playoff.

Speaker 7 (01:06:46):
Lamar shows up, He kind of shrinks in the moment
and pulls it out.

Speaker 1 (01:06:49):
I think that it's in Buffalo, Buffalo and it's cold
as crap, and that definitely helps. So that's one of
those two where I'm like, I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna
argue with you because you care, but I go Buffalo.
The weird thing about the MVP race is that Lamar
has definitely the stats. Josh Allen's team has the wins, yep,

(01:07:13):
but he does not have the stats that Lamar has.
Josh he's having a great to score year, but they're
using the well, Josh Allen's team is winning. Lamar has
the stats, but his team isn't winning. But if you're
saying Lamar should beat Josh Allen, then you got to
put Joe Burrow in, who also doesn't have the wins

(01:07:35):
but has the stats. So if you're going to penalize,
if you're not going to penalize for losses, then you
got to put Joe Burrow in the mix. They finished
seven and six.

Speaker 7 (01:07:45):
Yeah, I think it's also the Bills have a better record,
but Josh Allen doesn't have like a Derrick Henry. He
doesn't Jamaar Chase. So I feel like that's really what's
also like Bolster in his case, also just the narrative
that Lamar's ready one twice.

Speaker 1 (01:07:57):
But I hate when someone doesn't win because because that
crowd gets held against me for awards all the time,
and I hate it. They're like, you don't need another
CMA award, you don't need another and I'm like, I
don't need it, but I deserve it, like, look at
my balls, give me the award. I say that to people. Yeah, yeah,
because Joe Burrow Stat's like crazy, Yeah, clos If you're

(01:08:22):
going to penalize Lamar.

Speaker 3 (01:08:24):
It's all to Jamar Chase.

Speaker 1 (01:08:26):
No, t Higgins. T Tiggins is awesome, Sea take less money,
stay in Cincinnati.

Speaker 5 (01:08:31):
I hope not come to New England.

Speaker 7 (01:08:33):
And he's going to New England.

Speaker 3 (01:08:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:08:35):
Uh had a good year too.

Speaker 1 (01:08:37):
Yeah, they have no defense though they play with nineteen
thousand offense and to on defense. Uh So Buffalo in
Kansas City again. Probably that's fun because that's that's the
new Brady Manning is the Josh Allen Patrick Mahomes. Let's
go to the NFC side, man. The Rams are actually
coming on. The Rams are pretty good guys, and they
have If you're gonna have, you have to pick Stafford

(01:08:59):
or Donald. Picking Stafford yeah sure, even though Donald's been
really good this year. I'm picking Stafford and he's won
a Super Bowl. Vikings are Rams, Eddie.

Speaker 3 (01:09:07):
I'm gonna go Vikings.

Speaker 1 (01:09:09):
I'm gonna go Vikings.

Speaker 3 (01:09:10):
I think the Vikings kind of gave us a little
glimpse of like, Okay, maybe we're not there yet, but
I think they really are, especially coming after coming off
a loss like this. Yeah, I think gonna win this one.

Speaker 1 (01:09:21):
What's the line there, Kevin?

Speaker 5 (01:09:22):
It is Minnesota minus one and a half.

Speaker 1 (01:09:24):
You know what's interesting about this game is that LA
does not have a like a home field advantage, so
they have the home field, so I guess they advantage me.
They sleep in their own beds. Yeah, the yeah, they
don't have to take a flight to the game, but
there's no rabbit l a. Yeah, I'm gonna But if
it's like quarterback and coach, which is when it's close,

(01:09:48):
it's usually what I will do. I guess I'll go Rams,
even though that means Vikings a line because I'm on.
But I would take Stafford and McVeigh right now over Kevin,
O'Connell and Darnold, even though that's all four of them
are are good, Like, that's not I guess I'll go Rams.

(01:10:10):
Did you go, Audy?

Speaker 3 (01:10:11):
Yeah? I went Vikings?

Speaker 1 (01:10:12):
What did you do, Kevin?

Speaker 5 (01:10:13):
I'm gonna go Na. Yeah, but I will watch a
Vikings game just so I can hear his name over it.
Oh yeah, the exact same way, just so I could
be like, you know what, if I was ever an
NFL coach, this is what it would sound like.

Speaker 1 (01:10:27):
That's weird, that's cute. Yeah, who are you picking?

Speaker 5 (01:10:30):
I'm gonna go Rams.

Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
Weird to pick the Rams after the Storybooks season of Kings.

Speaker 5 (01:10:35):
I hope the Vikings win, but I think the Rams
me too.

Speaker 1 (01:10:37):
Yeah, I agree, Yeah, Okay, we got this game is terrible.
We got Baker and then the Redskins, the.

Speaker 3 (01:10:47):
Commanders whatever, dude, get it right?

Speaker 1 (01:10:51):
Whatever, dude, again, that's got to be a close what's
up spat on that one?

Speaker 5 (01:10:57):
Two three Tampa Bay three?

Speaker 1 (01:10:59):
They're playing in two Tampa, and I never trust a rookie.
He's had his down then kind of back up, and
I'm gonna go Baker. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go
Baker over the Redskins Commanders.

Speaker 5 (01:11:12):
Kevin, Yeah, I'm gonna do the same every time. We
don't believe in the Bucks, they just somehow keep keep
staying alive.

Speaker 3 (01:11:18):
Eddie, I'm trusting the rookie on this one. Jalen, Oh yeah,
conference yeah, yeah, yeah, conference foe, but I think I
think they have the team. And then an ex Cowboy coach, Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:11:27):
Packers Eagles, good game for seven to two. Yeah, like
two actual teams.

Speaker 7 (01:11:31):
That rematch of the Brazil game at the start of
the season.

Speaker 3 (01:11:35):
Forget about that.

Speaker 1 (01:11:36):
This turf will be coming off but every step thuugh.
But I liked the game. What's the spread on that one?

Speaker 5 (01:11:41):
Yeah, it's Philly minus four and a half.

Speaker 1 (01:11:43):
In Philly definite home field advantage, so they do see
them on a neutral site pretty close. What are the
two points? And I used to be three. I think
that's two. Yeah, I think Philly probably.

Speaker 3 (01:11:53):
Eddie's gonna have a heyday Philly. M You just love
the NFC East, huh. I mean there are people we're
not there.

Speaker 1 (01:12:01):
They might the NFL because that's how the SEC works
for sure.

Speaker 3 (01:12:04):
I mean kind of sort of. You don't ever root
for the Eagles like I.

Speaker 1 (01:12:09):
Would think you would never hate.

Speaker 5 (01:12:10):
It's the opposite.

Speaker 1 (01:12:12):
I would think that too.

Speaker 5 (01:12:12):
The Jets were actually relevant, I would always root against
them no matter what. The Bills pretty much the same
for the most part.

Speaker 1 (01:12:19):
They've been losers for so long. Y. Yeah, it's hard
to hate them. It's like hating the Cubs, and I'm
a massive Cubs fan, but nobody hates the cub because
we sucked forever. Yeah, even if you were like the
Cardinals and that was like your rival, they didn't really
hate that we because I played on the team, You're
part of it. They wanted to beat us always. But

(01:12:39):
I think everybody it's hard to hate the Cubs because
we sucked. Same thing with the Bills. They suck forever,
and so it's kind of it is kind of hard to.

Speaker 5 (01:12:45):
Hate them, and they still I don't hate them.

Speaker 1 (01:12:47):
And they have to play in that weather cold weather. Eagles, Eagles,
Kevin Yeah, Eagles, Eagles, yep. Bucks Eagles would be that one. Hey,
I think the Bucks can win that. I don't think
they will, but I think the Bucks have a shot
to actually get to the NFC Championship.

Speaker 7 (01:13:02):
And they beat Philly this year too, So.

Speaker 1 (01:13:04):
That's interesting is that I do not think they will.
I would pick the Eagles in that game it happens,
but I think the Bucks would actually have a shot
to win either one of those games. That and then
Lions and whomever.

Speaker 3 (01:13:16):
Lions, Lions, Yeah, Lions, and anyone else in the NFC.

Speaker 1 (01:13:21):
I mean, if I feel like the Eagles are gonna
have to beat the Lions or nobody will, right, and
I don't think they will, but I think that's really
the only right read you with me? Yeah, for sure. Yeah,
I feel does anyone feel different? Like, if there's a
team to beat the Lions, it's probably gonna.

Speaker 7 (01:13:36):
Have to be the Eagles, Yeah, because's gonna have to
put up points. And I feel like Philly's actually got
the offense so.

Speaker 5 (01:13:42):
And their defense and playing really good.

Speaker 1 (01:13:44):
Yeah, and then who cares about a FNF championship ap
so far from that. But yeah, I'd love to see
And I hate dynasties while they're happening. I like them
when they're over. I liked it. It's pretty cool. I
like the Patriots won all those, but I was rooting
against them during the games. But I'll liked afterely one.
I was like, it's pretty cool to get to watch greatness.

Speaker 5 (01:14:03):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (01:14:04):
But I hope the Chiefs won at all. Again, don't
get it?

Speaker 3 (01:14:08):
Are they the favorite?

Speaker 1 (01:14:10):
No, the Lions are?

Speaker 3 (01:14:11):
The Lions? Are the Fish actually.

Speaker 5 (01:14:12):
Have the easier road?

Speaker 8 (01:14:13):
Probably?

Speaker 3 (01:14:14):
Wow?

Speaker 7 (01:14:14):
Yeah, I guess they don't have it just a little
better too, Yeah, I mean, even though the record would
say otherwise, I guess.

Speaker 3 (01:14:20):
I mean the AFC is very competitive.

Speaker 1 (01:14:23):
Quarterbacks, yeah, yeah, or like all the all the legacy
all the elite quarterbacks.

Speaker 5 (01:14:28):
Because even as good as the Eagles are, Jalen Hurts,
isn't you know josh Allen Lamar Jackson and he's still
banged up, so who knows?

Speaker 3 (01:14:37):
He still hurts?

Speaker 1 (01:14:39):
Thank you for The Lions are at plus two eighty five.
They're the favorite, Kansas City at two, Baltimore at three,
Buffalo at four, and Baltimore and Buffalo about the sam
but just barely off. Philadelphi's at five at the very
very bottom. Who do you think is the Worsteddy Texans
Steelers in Texans? And then next is Commander's rams backward

(01:15:00):
were going backward in the Broncos. Uh College Football Playoff
Wise odds on those four teams.

Speaker 3 (01:15:07):
Left, Ohio State's got to be the heavy favorite.

Speaker 1 (01:15:09):
Plus one ten heavy heavy heavy. Then Texas Notre Dame
at plus three eighty tied for second in Penn State
at plus four fifty, which, by the way, that's a
targeting that was for sure targeting. The Texas is for
sure targeting. It was, oh yeah, I've never seen more
targeting in my life. There's referees and pansies.

Speaker 5 (01:15:26):
Yeah, that was bad.

Speaker 1 (01:15:27):
And the other play earlier this was not targeting. That
was elbow elbowing. Well when he went up, it is whatever,
I hate Texas, They're about to get run.

Speaker 3 (01:15:39):
Yeah do that. Poor kicker though, man, that was like
it was just rough and we.

Speaker 1 (01:15:43):
Wouldn't remember anything about him unless his hair was.

Speaker 3 (01:15:45):
That scatbird or whatever.

Speaker 7 (01:15:49):
Though on Arizona State, Oh scatter Boods.

Speaker 3 (01:15:51):
Who is that guy?

Speaker 7 (01:15:52):
That was awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:15:53):
He maybe it was one of the greatest games by
a player that I've ever seen.

Speaker 3 (01:15:57):
By a player. Yeah, unbelievable because I was annoyed at
the beginning of the game, like he was staying outside
of the locker room giving everyone high five.

Speaker 1 (01:16:04):
I was annoyed to a bit, yes, but then after.

Speaker 3 (01:16:06):
The game, I was like, you know what, man, you'd
give everyone high five. You be the leader of that team.

Speaker 1 (01:16:10):
You They gave him the MVP. They came during the
press cone losing game. He was like, I'm the best
running back. And I don't always get annoyed at that,
but I felt like his was coming from a place
of insecurity. Yeah, like didn't even get out, didn't even
get invited to the Heisman ceremony, and he's like, I

(01:16:31):
need to be no, no, he and he thought that
I had you say whatever you want, dude. Yeah, it's awesome,
like catching.

Speaker 3 (01:16:39):
Running, passing, throwing.

Speaker 5 (01:16:41):
All of it was Jim Thorpe, all of it while
throwing up, dude, I.

Speaker 1 (01:16:45):
Just write a book on Jim Thorpe.

Speaker 3 (01:16:46):
I don't know much about him other than he played
a bunch of possis, Oh my.

Speaker 1 (01:16:49):
God, like crazy Native American. Yeah. His dad ended up
sending him to a in Pennsylvania, to a what do
you call those golswysing kids in high school? Board boarding school,
and the guy because he was in trouble a lot,
and the guy noticed how athletic he was and so
played football old school days, leather helmet and ivy league

(01:17:12):
type stuff. Went to the Olympics and these decathlon and pinndathlon.
I don't know too. They were massive back then, but
it was the multi I think one two gold medals.
By the way, it had him taken away from.

Speaker 3 (01:17:26):
Him because he was Native American.

Speaker 1 (01:17:29):
No, because he had played professional baseball and you had
to be amateur. But he didn't even know he played
professional baseball. He played for some crappy, not for real,
minor league team where he made enough money to buy food.
It wasn't like he was playing Major league ball. He
was like surviving. He was playing baseball just to live.
They stripped the metals from him. They didn't give it
back to after he was dead. Oh gosh, but just

(01:17:53):
why and then died in poverty?

Speaker 3 (01:17:55):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (01:17:56):
But greatest athlete like did it all? Baseball, basketball, football,
Olympian just and yeah. His dad sent him up to
a boarding school because of the trouble he was in.
And then the coach there was like, dang, like you
can kind of do a lot of stuff. I believe
this is I'm making my athletes mixed up on this one.

(01:18:17):
Will you googled this, Mike. I think there was a
high they were doing a high jump. We got to
the school and he was in like regular pants and
went and saw the I doing it, is like can
I do this? Can anybody do it? And jumps it
and the coach was like, that's the school record, Like

(01:18:38):
you just did that for the record. I'm fairly certain
that was I watched a lot of shows that I
read a lot too over the break. Let me see
if Jim Thorpe, Yeah, that was him. That was him.
Jim Thorpe was freaking legit.

Speaker 3 (01:18:54):
Thanks for that lesson. I didn't know much about him
other than.

Speaker 1 (01:18:56):
I didn't either.

Speaker 3 (01:18:57):
Well, my brother, I think, lives like thirty minutes away
from his hometown, so when I went up there to
go visit him, he's like, yeah, Jim Thorpe, we should
go see Jim Thorpe's hometown.

Speaker 1 (01:19:06):
Okay, even if you like, go find like McDonald's podcast
on him, or learn you'll be it's really more than
so than just learning, because I spent this break learning
mostly about I spent a lot of time reading about
prohibition because I didn't understand why they would, and now
I completely understand why they did it.

Speaker 3 (01:19:22):
It was stupid why they did prohibition, for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:19:25):
And they needed to do something. I won't walk you
down that. I love that thirteen years probition was thirteen
years no alcohol.

Speaker 3 (01:19:34):
Whoa, Well, there was alcohol.

Speaker 1 (01:19:35):
And I was reading about the smuggling and how they
would smoke get it in from the island. So I
spent my book reading time reading about prohibition, super fascinated
with that. I don't even drink, but I wonder why would.
And then Jim Thorpe read a book on Jim Thorpe,
and then I read a book about a technology book.
And Eddie were talking about talking about this a dinner
last night, about motion pictures, and I brought it up

(01:19:57):
to Eddie if Eddie freaking knew it. I was like, yeah,
the first ever motion picture. And Eddie goes, oh, yeah,
the horse, and I'm like, how did you know that?
School The debate was he's a former governor of California,
super rich. He had horses, and he argued with his
boys that a horse when it gallops, all four feet
come off the ground at once. There's no way to

(01:20:17):
prove it in a gallop, there's nobody to prove it
because you can record it and then on our iPhone
stop it there.

Speaker 3 (01:20:22):
And then they only had photographed cameras, just still cameras.

Speaker 1 (01:20:26):
So he got a guy to set up all these
cameras and every time the horse tipt they took so
many pictures and basically could flip book it looks like
the horse running. And then Thomas saddisen't goun involved is
a whole thing.

Speaker 3 (01:20:37):
And it turns out, guys, that the horse does lift
all four of its hoofs in a run.

Speaker 1 (01:20:41):
Regular run.

Speaker 3 (01:20:42):
Confirmed, And now we have movies because of it.

Speaker 1 (01:20:46):
There you go, wow, jump Thorpe. Really interesting story.

Speaker 3 (01:20:50):
Crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:20:50):
They stripped his freaking metals from a not even real
professional baseball career. But he was so good at everything.

Speaker 3 (01:20:58):
All right, you know, back to scouted real quick. His
mom did say that she knew you hear this when
scatav it was like in like a crowded place, he
would he would get claustrophobics, so he would run around
people's legs to get out of it. And the mom said,
that's why I knew you're running back. That's running back.

Speaker 1 (01:21:15):
Did you see the thing where he put on pads
and run into telephone poles? Yeah, that was another part
of it.

Speaker 3 (01:21:20):
Awesome man.
