We've already done. The interview is awesome.

Speaker 5 (00:48):
It was awesome.

Speaker 6 (00:49):
I mean, how unique is his voice too, and how
he can just go into that.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Character and just that he played ball, so he knows ball,
knows ball, but also a big part of and I
don't have kids yet, but I've watched so much SpongeBob
because that show has been on for twenty five thirty years.

Speaker 6 (01:05):
I know, I can honestly say that I've watched a
few of them over the years, but not that many watched. Now,
I'm very appreciative of it, and I'm going to go
back and watch all the reruns from the last twenty years.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
It's a great interview. So that's coming up.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
We were talking about Christmas before we actually started recording.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
I think that's a fun thing to revisit. So let's
start with you. What you asked me. You asked me
if I already.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Got my wife Christmas present right, which I'm not going
to say what it is now because she won't watch,
but they will message her and tell her for me.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Are you a big love language believer?

Speaker 5 (01:38):
I mean do you know about it? Yes?

Speaker 6 (01:40):
Like the different what is there different categories of love
love language? I'm definitely physical touch?

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Oh you are? I am not at all.

Speaker 5 (01:48):
I can tell that.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Like up about keep your distance, you are You're a
physical touch And I know what you do now because
again I've said this before, but every time we have
the show, I walk in Castle Cantuck give me a
big hug, and I know part of it is just
for show now because you know it makes me uncomfortable,
but also think.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
That's just part of who you are.

Speaker 6 (02:06):
It is I'm a hug both everybody that I see
that I actually recognize and I know I'm going to
go up and make a point to give him a hug.

Speaker 5 (02:13):
Say what's up? That's just who I am?

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Is that your giver? Is that?

Speaker 5 (02:16):
Also?

Speaker 1 (02:17):
What you want from people physical touch because my wife's
like she loves time.

Speaker 5 (02:23):
Yes, my wife's quality time too.

Speaker 6 (02:24):
Yeah, okay, so you know all of them, Like you know,
you asked me, do you know the love languages?

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Like I never heard of touch?

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Now you were playing it like I don't know, I think,
and then all of a sudden, you're like, well, page
sixty four point two says physical touches.

Speaker 5 (02:37):
I read the entire book and I've been studying.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
So what do you want from people? Which one see?

Speaker 6 (02:42):
I don't like gifts. You're saying in terms of the connection,
what is.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Your love language of receiving the physical touch?

Speaker 6 (02:48):
It's both from my wife's physical touch, no, but from
like other people, I just want to see him smile.
I want to try to put a smile on somebody's face.
Af For me, that's kind of after.

Speaker 5 (02:57):
I don't know what it is.

Speaker 7 (02:58):
Like.

Speaker 6 (02:59):
I try to bring an energy and try to get
a response in a positive man.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
You're a big positive energy I mean, I'm positive energy guy.

Speaker 6 (03:06):
If I can bring a little bit of positive energy
to your day, then I've done my job.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah, you're one of the most positive energy guys that
I know. You and my friend Eddie are very positive
all the time, like you just like to be around you.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
Guys.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Brandon's like that too, You're just so positive all the time.
Yeah no, he is both alli but you're so positive.
So you want to from your wife. You want that,
that's why you have five kids, but you have you
want to give and you want to receive words that
I will say words of affirmation for me, even though
you don't want the words.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
I just take affirmation as you want to make people happy.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
Yeah, I want to make people happy.

Speaker 6 (03:39):
I think words of affirmation would probably be a close second.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
But not what it is just But what is that one?

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Then?

Speaker 2 (03:45):
I think that's just will you read me all the
love languages? Kevin?

Speaker 5 (03:48):
Physical touch is one thing you have?

Speaker 7 (03:49):
Brain?

Speaker 5 (03:50):
What do you have?

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Okay? Okay, mm hmm yep.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
So I think you want people to have a reaction
like a happy I think that's closest towards that affirmation
probably similar.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
I'm gifts giving gifts getting?

Speaker 5 (04:05):
Are you really both? And what does that say about you?

Speaker 2 (04:08):
I never got a gift to you when you break
it down, never got gifts as a kid.

Speaker 5 (04:12):
That makes sense.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
So when someone gave me a gift, we grew very poor.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
When someone gave me a gift, I was like, Oh,
they must really love me, because we don't get stuff
right Christmas. We don't really get presents, we don't really
have Christmas like we had the day. But it wasn't
like a traditional watch on television Christmas where you wake
up and get gifts. That very rarely happened. So when
someone got me a gift, I was like, Oh, this
is crazy.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
They must really love me.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Therefore, I thought, if I can also get people gifts
for the same reason, they'll love me. And I understand
it's all rooted and it's probably not accurate, but I
am an A plus gift giver.

Speaker 5 (04:43):
I am the exact opposite.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
I'll give you an example. I'm gonna glaze myself for
a second.

Speaker 5 (04:48):
Gaze it.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Whenever I was looking for when we were doing the
jersey giveaways, I found that old Cowboys jersey of yours.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Greatest gift ever, And I was like, this is the
greatest gift ever.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
And like I was, I felt fulfilled because I found
your old locker jersey from the Cowboys.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
It was unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
But I was so proud of myself for that because
I knew that you would like it.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Like, that's my love language. That's me going.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
I really like you, I really respect you, and I've
spent my time hopefully getting you something that you enjoy.
So with that being said, my wife benefits greatly from
the gift giving of me, but she her love language
receiving is not gifts.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
It's not gifts, No, and I rock gifts.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
A couple of Christmases ago, she wanted an outdoor fireplace,
but not for Christmas. She just mentioned it a couple
of times, right, and I listened, And so we left
for like five days, and I had the whole thing orchestra.
They came in built a full outdoor fireplace, and when
we got back home, she was going to see it
right outside the big window in the backyard. And the
problem was is we were coming back home, we were
looking at one of my emails had something to do

(05:46):
with the work. I was like, read this, and we
got the notification from the person. Hey, we just finished
the outdoor fireplace.

Speaker 5 (05:51):
Did she melt them? Did she?

Speaker 1 (05:53):
She acted like she didn't see it, and I knew
she saw it. She also can't lie. Yeah, so I
didn't even I didn't say it for I was like,
I know you saw that. I was like, hey, did
you see anything in that email? And she was like,
I cannot tell a lie. I chop down the cherry tree.
So she say, yeah, it's so a plus gift. Bad
bad way getting it to her because I just should

(06:13):
have hit my phone. But then people are like, don't
hide your phone to meet you cheating? Uh, but yeah,
that's my love language, Kevin. What is yours receiving?

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Probably words of affirmation?

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yeah, I feel shallow saying minor gifts, but it is.
It's giving and getting gifts.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Hey, everybody's a little.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
When he says that, I feel odd about it because
I'm like, man, I'm so like shallow.

Speaker 6 (06:35):
Because wait, but you know you wouldn't say words of
affirmation are in the mix for you at all.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Like somebody's saying that they appreciate you. I don't believe anybody, huh.
And I as I think everybody's out to get something.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
Do you think you're a physical thing that's why you
feel shallow instead of an emotional attachment to an you know, I.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Just think it's a gift thing. Sure, I just think
it's a gift, but physical I don't like touch either.

Speaker 6 (06:56):
See, I'm one of those people where it's physical is
one thing, but I think the physical aspect for most
men is emotional, and so I'm talking about it's not
the actual act of intimacy in the bedroom and all that.
That's one thing, but that's separate. Then if you hold
my hand, if you come up and put your arm
around me, and I feel loved in that sense, that
for me is all I need during the day, because

(07:17):
I'm a physical like, physical touch.

Speaker 5 (07:20):
Is what is my.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Were your parents big huggers?

Speaker 6 (07:25):
Yeah, they were all big huggers, same way right that
we are big personalities, huggers, very affectionate, and all my
siblings are the same way. And with my siblings though,
physical touch the way we show each other love with
especially with my brothers as we beat the hell out
of each other. That's what we did when we were younger.
But it was a way to show, hey, I still
love you. That's probably why we're so supposed still to

(07:47):
this day. We all are our parents or lack of parents,
one of the two.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
So yours is words, yep, to get to get what
is yours, to give what's the most comfortable to give.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Hearing you talk about it. Probably the gift giving.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
I enjoy giving gifts, and sometimes I have to tell
myself like, okay, you're good, Like Christmas time, Okay, you
got them a couple of gifts. You don't need to
get them seven things. Just give them a couple of
things and you're good to go. Because then I feel
like I'm overdoing it.

Speaker 6 (08:13):
Just like you're when you told us that you're really
stressed out. It's really hard to pick gifts for a
one year old.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah, god, that's what we walked as that. By the way,
we has twins and they're not even a year old.
He's I don't know what to get up for Christmas?

Speaker 5 (08:26):
Man, so difficult.

Speaker 6 (08:27):
String literally get them something that's put in their mouth
and suck on. Put a donut on a string? Yes, yes,
what is the matter?

Speaker 4 (08:34):
Threw me off because I'm like, oh, this is cool,
And then I look at it. This is like four
and over and I'm like what but not gonna know
the difference I know, and then I feel like i'm
and then I overthink it and I just like go
down the hole. And I got some good stuff, guys,
but it took me got them a PlayStation. I'm like
this is for them or for me, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
I'm the worst of the new Apple goggles, the four
grand goggles. You're the worst way worst gift giver.

Speaker 6 (08:59):
I mean, I'm thoughtful, but I panic because my wife,
she's really hard to shop for. Over the years, you
accumulate stuff. You can do the jewelry, you can do
the purse. But I also will say, hey, what would
you like and she's like, you know me, I'm like,
that is the worst thing you could possibly tell me.
And then I go into gorilla mode where I just

(09:19):
panic and start pressing things, probably that she doesn't want.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
But you you just buy quantity, Yeah, quantity for sure.
For sure.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
There's been a few times I've crushed.

Speaker 6 (09:29):
Most of the time it's a failure or the other
part is I'll get her a piece of jewelry that
I think, look, spend some money on this. She's gonna
love it, and she'll go I know exactly what happens
when she opens the present and she goes, honey, I
can't accept this. That means she doesn't like it. I
mean she doesn't want to accept it because there's been plenty,
plenty pieces that have come in and she's like, oh

(09:49):
my god, thank you so much. Like the earrings I
got her, she never takes them off, loves them. But
anything that she's like, maybe i'll exchange this after, you know,
it's got to be a little bit removed about a
week or two and she's like, you know, babe, I
think maybe this is too much. Maybe I'll exchange it
for the same exact.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
See who thought an NFL podcast would start with us
talking about love languages.

Speaker 6 (10:09):
Oh but Christmas is around the corner, and I'm just like, oh.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Have you met?

Speaker 6 (10:14):
And now I'm not only stressed out. I'm not only
stressed out about my wife. Now I'm stressed out about you.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
Oh you don't. Oh yeah, look you just put Yeah
I should be What about the kids? You done? Or
do you use your wife?

Speaker 5 (10:26):
Do that?

Speaker 2 (10:26):
God bless her?

Speaker 6 (10:27):
Yeah, that's why, that's why it's really important that I
go make sure that she feels love and taken care
of because of all the stuff that she takes care
of when I'm traveling, when I'm gone, kids school. But
then she also handles Christmas like a champ. She's on
the Black Friday Deal, She's on this set and the
other a month ahead of time.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
And I'm not you still deal shop even though you
made a ton of money.

Speaker 6 (10:51):
Oh one hundred percent. She does well, dude, we've got
five kids. Better deal shop. She gets ahead of it.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
I don't know if you had them like working as
well on the shop, get out there on the farm,
bail that. Hey, yeah, your life Okay, Well where do
we start?

Speaker 2 (11:09):
We want to go first?

Speaker 1 (11:09):
There's so many there's some hundred storylines. You want to go, sure,
I'll go.

Speaker 6 (11:14):
Obviously, big injuries last weekend, Patrick Mahomes going down. He's
the face of the league, and it's devastating anytime you
see that, especially late in the year. But I would
make the case right now that MICA's Pars's injury might
be more impactful just as a season as a whole
for the Green Bay Packers, because they're in a position
to go to the playoffs and compete, and he was

(11:36):
such an integral part coming in, and also what he
did for that defense was pretty remarkable. He had twelve
and a half sacks on the season. The pressure rate
was there, and now they lose their biggest weapon on
the defensive side of the ball going into playoffs. I
think that that's going to hurt them going into playoffs
in a big, big way.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Is the torn acl the NBA's achilles.

Speaker 6 (11:59):
Yeah, you don't see as many achilles in the NFL,
even though Daniel Jones just said I think.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Probably that was rooted in his leg injury to begin with,
because a lot of times those achilles in the NBA,
they'll happen when there's a calf in the strain or
a strain in the calf. Yeah, and listen, what do
I know. I don't have a I'm not an MD.
I am a PhD. So I'm not a medical doctor.
But I'm the closest one in this room. He's the

(12:27):
closest one by far. So your thought is My thought is, well,
it is very unfortunate, and especially the Chiefs were going
to make the playoffs until that injury. The Chiefs were there,
they were driving, they were going to tie and win it. Yeah, remarkable.
And I know as Pat's fans, and mostly I would say,
you're a rational Patriots fan.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
You played for the Patriots.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Kevin is an irrational Patriots fan because he spent his
whole life loving the Patriots. And it makes me happy
to see that Patrick Mahomes still will not play a
snap that he's out of contention, just like Tom Brady.
Tom Brady never played a snap out of contention for
the playoffs. The thing was that the Chiefs lost Patrick
Mahomes was going to play snaps out of contention.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Sorry, he heard him.

Speaker 5 (13:05):
He never has.

Speaker 6 (13:06):
And the crazy part, just to look at both of
their careers, Breed did his in the ninth season. This
is the ninth season. They both been to three Super Bowls.
There's so many different comparisons that it's pretty wild.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Double goats.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
What I've been saying, double double goats were double goating.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
We're double goating.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
It sucks because and I did see the update that
Andy Reid said that Mahomes's injuries did not include other
injuries around the injury.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Which hopefully is a quicker road to recovery.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Okay, that doesn't mean that that tear was any less significant,
but other part of the m CL wasn't damaged.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
The other cls. I'm not sure there are a lot
of cls.

Speaker 5 (13:43):
Around c M c L lot of stuff. Yeah, l
c L.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Hopefully he's able to bounce back because in next year's
NFL I have them number one of the power rankings.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Next year.

Speaker 6 (13:55):
Yes, next year's number number one, the powering next.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
Year now right now? They got to fall out too early? Powers? Yes, yes, No, I.

Speaker 6 (14:02):
Just also say a December acl makes it much more
difficult to be ready to start the season because it
truly is well with modern medicine and the ability to
fix these things, it's a lot quicker in terms of
your rehab and getting back on the field. But you
don't want to force themselves into lineup too early. So
how much is that going to impact them starting next

(14:22):
year and where they're going to be at, because again,
it's a long road to recovery, and the fact that
it happened in December just kind of sets you back
a little bit more.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Make a great point about the December because even if
he is one hundred percent from his injury, whenever the
season starts next year, he's not going to be one
hundred percent as he traditionally is as he goes through
camp practice getting himself in shape like, he's not going
to be able to do that at the same level.
So even if his leg is one hundred percent by
game one, his body and mind will not be one

(14:51):
hundred percent because he doesn't have the luxury to get
himself in shape.

Speaker 6 (14:54):
Right, You're going to miss all OTAs and most of
that is going to be all towards your rehab sense,
the urgency to get back, the focus on the knee.
But then it's baby steps. Every part of that recovery
is month by month. Where are you at constantly being
re evaluated, and then you hit the ground running if
you can get in there in camp, and it'll probably
be very moderate in terms of his reps even in

(15:15):
camp because they want to protect him.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
I think the Packers are still a contender, yes, but
I don't think the Packers are a contender anymore. I
think Micah Parsons was the separator. He was the X factor,
and that is really unfortunate because again we're also talking
about Damn Mahomes a December acl tare. Yeah, so this
season not good. I did see Christian Watson when we play.

(15:40):
It looks like if he wants to play this week
and he can not that that's the same significance of
Michael Parson's injury, because it's not You're looking at probably
a top five overall defensive player in the league. I
think there's like two guys you'd put over them. Well
maybe just one, maybe one defensive players. But Miles Garrett, Yeah,
Miles Garrett. Max Crosby is on a sucky team. If
he's on a better team, maybe he's a savage, I mean.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
But certain Michaeh. Parsons.

Speaker 6 (16:05):
Yeah, but but to be impactful when you're talking about
the trenches itself. And also you always have to know
where he is because we used to go up against
guys like that and we would turn the offensive line
to him, but they would create singles, and if they
create a single with him one on one, you better
understand that the ball has got to come out. And
that's that's the type of impact he has on a game,
particularly in the mind of the quarterback.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
They're still a contender, but I don't think they're a contender.
That NFC is so muddled it with good teams. Yeah,
it's it's there's like seven to eight of them. It
all could probably win the freaking Super Bowl out the

(16:55):
NFC West, which takes me to my power rankings.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Thank you for rankings. All right, power rankings.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Here we go, number five, And I just bet a
bunch of mone on this team to win the Super
Bowl because I like their odds of getting the number
one seed. I don't think they'll get it, but I
think they have a decent shot. And if they get
a number one seed, I think they have a chance
to win it. They're getting healthy, They're not going to
get their biggest They're not getting Fred warnerback, and I'm
talking about San Francisco. But I do think they are

(17:22):
becoming stronger as the season goes. At number five, I
have San Francisco at ten and five. I like that
they will win next week against the Colts, so that'll
put them into eleven and five with two games to go.
I put a thousand bucks in San Francisco to win.
Excuse me's got to be great. They're high, So it
was a thousand bucks to win, like twenty one thousand.

Speaker 5 (17:46):
That's a good bet.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
And I do feel like San Francisco can, if things
fall right, win the championship. I do think they can
freaking go to the Super Bowl and win, but things
have to fall right. I just like their odds a
whole lot. It's not even that I'm a big San
Francisco guy.

Speaker 5 (17:59):
Yeah, we're definitely gonna be rooting for them in the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Oh yeah, hard, hard, hard, I've got two significant bets
out right now, and both weren't because I thought they
were the best teams.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
I just liked the odds.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
And that was San Francisco now in the NFL and
Georgia Bulldogs dogs in college football. I'm not a Georgia fan,
but I like where they fell. I think they're good
enough to win it. And they were like fourth. Really yeah, overall,
Ohio State was one, Indiana was two. At three was
possibly Texas Tech. I don't know where it is now,
maybe Tech, Not sure. Not what we're talking about, moneyline.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Sorry. At number four, I have Buffalo ten and four.

Speaker 6 (18:35):
Buffalo, big win this last weekend, big win, big win,
and the fact that they were down twenty one.

Speaker 5 (18:43):
You hate to.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
See them go down. You guys didn't Pats fans, But
let's remove your Pats hats.

Speaker 5 (18:48):
No, yeah, remove it.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Take Pat's hats off.

Speaker 5 (18:50):
Yeah it's gone.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
You hate to see Buffalo constantly fall in the first half,
which they're doing a lot, a lot.

Speaker 6 (18:57):
I mean, to be down twenty one and nothing on
the road and then just roar back five straight possessions,
I think with touchdowns.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
I mean, and I feel like that's Josh Allen going,
wait a second, young fella.

Speaker 6 (19:09):
Yeah, I'm you guys. I know you guys are overlooking me.
I am reigning MVP, and I'm going to show you
why because I'm going to go and put on my
Superman cloak and I'm going to go out and dominate.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
And he's doing it without I hate to say, any
other weapons, but without a traditional number one, right.

Speaker 6 (19:28):
I mean his best weapons on the outside, honestly are
Dalton Kincaid and Dots.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
Dawson tight ends. Yeah, both tight ends. They're really good.

Speaker 6 (19:37):
They're in a lot of two tight end sets, but
those are their most dynamic pass catchers.

Speaker 5 (19:42):
And that's crazy to think about it.

Speaker 6 (19:43):
It is the same thing why I think he won
the MVP last year because they didn't have that alpha
male on the outside.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
Where Lamar did.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Oh yeah, and that was held against him that not
even on the outside, but he had and James Cook
is good, but James Cook in the minds that folks,
is not Derrick Henry. I think now he's getting close.
But yeah, I Buffalo four three have the Broncos. It's
hard to put them at three.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
I just never.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
They're twelve and they are what the record says they
are as a wise man once said, yes, they're twelve
and two and it's just one possession wins. And I
know it was an eight they won by eight last week,
but they're twelve and two, so you can't deny that
they're they're good.

Speaker 6 (20:19):
And bo Nicks probably had his best game and he
played it was full vote against against a quality opponent.
I mean, some of there are being aggressive on fourth down,
that throw that he had just setting down the sideline
on fourth and one that he hit, the big play
that was unbelievable textbook.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
I also feel like bow Knicks is able to play
better now because that defense has always been good. I
think they're they're even better now. And I think with
the ability to know if I screw up, you play
a little freer.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
I think you can speak to this.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
If you know your defense has got you right, you
can relax and play a little more free offensively.

Speaker 5 (20:52):
For sure.

Speaker 6 (20:52):
But it also that that also goes over in the
offense and how they call it and how Sean Payton
was aggressive and fourth down around that midfield because he
knows the defense will get us off the field and
make a stop, get us the ball back, and so
you can be more aggressive with how.

Speaker 5 (21:09):
You call the game.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Seattle at too, Seattle Too.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Which, by the way, if I back up to the
Broncos for a second, I think we got a big
game coming up from the Broncos and Jaguars' that's this game.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
That's a massive game, massive game. Jaguars are good. They're
really good.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Liam Cole he's got a shot to be the Coach
of the Year. And that's crazy. From the first dude
Ball that was one of the best lines ever to see.
All these young coaches, they're they're kind of killing it.
So the Jags are good. They didn't make the list,
but they're good. Oh yeah, their colors are terrible though. Yeah,

(21:42):
they're just a tough team to look at for sure.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
And they have uniforms that look like gumball machine.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
Terrible uniforms, and they then they actually have but when
they're really like bright, I don't know what color they are.
What is that They should rebrand, They should rebrand the color.
Just give me a little bit more of the Jaguar color.
But I mean, also, Trevor Lawrence man awesome game number

(22:09):
two Seattle. Yes, this is where it's interesting because I
put the Rams at won. The best thing about it
is the Rams and Seahawks play Thursday night.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
What a Thursday night game? What mean Thursday night game?

Speaker 6 (22:22):
I mean they both hate the fact that they have
to play on Thursday night.

Speaker 5 (22:26):
But they're familiar opponents.

Speaker 6 (22:27):
They're within the division, so they'll know each other very well,
so the game plan, they'll understand how to approach this thing.
But I would love to see it on a Sunday
where the game plan becomes more evolved as the week
goes on. But NFL couldn't be happier.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
I do have the Pats at six, so the honorable mention. Sorry, boys,
it wasn't a good loss. It was a good loss
if they played close and lost to Buffalo. It wasn't
a good loss to go up that much and then
have them come screaming back over the top of you.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
Yeah, it's really defensive side of the ball. That's where
you go.

Speaker 6 (22:58):
You start a question and go, man, five straight possessions
with touchdowns, and you go, we've.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
Got to get this. I mean, give me some give
me some offense.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Though, other than that one play that one run yeah
where he's playing lead blocker, yeah, Rake, Yeah, yeah, a
little bit.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
They didn't play free, they didn't play like they're having
fun anymore, and you could tell it was on their mind, like,
holy crap, we actually win this thing. And then they
played scared, puckered up a little bit.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
I think inexperience. M hm.

Speaker 5 (23:26):
That will leave it at that. You know my thing?

Speaker 2 (23:28):
I second your quarterbacks?

Speaker 5 (23:29):
Yes, I do.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
Where's Chicago in that list? They'd probably seven or eight?

Speaker 5 (23:35):
Seven or eight? Yeah, yeah, that's fair.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
I only put the Broncos up there because they've only
lost two games. It's harked me to put the the Broncos.
That's why I did it. That's why I get so.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Am I a believer?

Speaker 7 (23:44):
No?

Speaker 1 (23:44):
Do I think someone can go into Denver and beat
them if they don't get the one seed in the
first round?

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Yes, Patriots Broncos in Denver this week? Who would you
take in Denver? In Denver? I'm probably gonna go with
the Pats.

Speaker 6 (23:58):
M I'm probably gonna go with Denver. That's a tough
place to play. I'm just saying it's about as loud as.

Speaker 5 (24:04):
An environment that I've ever been in.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
Do you lose your osagen? There is that a thing?

Speaker 1 (24:09):
No running back, a cornerback because you're not having You
weren't having to run a lot as a quarterback.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
Oh, I would run for my life. What are you
talking about Dumberville's coming?

Speaker 6 (24:24):
No, I mean you never really felt the effects because
we'd go up on a Saturday, get there, and I
don't think we're long enough. We are there long enough
to really feel that impact. And they have oxygen on
the sideline if you need it, and you see guys
go over. But I don't know of anybody that I
played with that really fell out because of the altitude
or anything like that or dizzeyness and had to come
out of the game. So I don't know how much

(24:46):
that is a factor, to be honest with you. The
ball does fly a little bit more, though noticeably, Oh noticeably.
You want to another gift, these shares. I am so thankful,
Like we immediately talked about it when I came in today.
I mean, I'm not sliding down like last week.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
I know it was a struggle. I haven't sawn the
videos you slide down.

Speaker 6 (25:09):
Myself back up these. I mean, like I said, just
send me the bell. I don't want to accept that gift.
I want to be able to be a contributor.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
It's all good, buddy, media year, stable chairs that we
don't slide down.

Speaker 6 (25:23):
I just feel it feels right, I mean big, feel good. Yeah,
Well that that's then what I want. You talked about,
go ahead, next one up. Yeah, you talked about who
should win the Coach of the Year. I think it's
an incredible year for Coach of the Year because you've
got Vrabel with the Pats first year there. Obviously they

(25:43):
won four games last year. He's done a remarkable job.
Ben Johnson with Chicago. How can he not be considered
one of the coaches of the year. Sean Payton what
he's doing with Denver Now he's been there for a while,
he's been able to construct that roster the way that
he's wanted. But I don't know if anybody predicted them
to be in the position that they're in right now to.

Speaker 5 (26:02):
Begin the year. Liam Combe win season.

Speaker 6 (26:06):
But then the other guy that is on the list
that say it, Mike McDonald's Akally, Kyle Shanahan. Kyle Shanahan too,
he's never won it. He's always in the mix every
single year.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
He never won.

Speaker 6 (26:16):
And if they factored in all the injuries that they've had,
and brand Ayyuk not playing this season, their number one
wide receiver, quarterback goes down, Fred Warner goes down, Bosa
goes down, and they're still always competitive regardless their situation.

Speaker 5 (26:29):
He's a hell of a coach.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
If you're giving the award today, who do you give
it to?

Speaker 6 (26:33):
If I'm giving the award today, I'm gonna go with vrabel.
I just think what he's done with a very very
young team and what they've been able to do this
year in the consistency ten straight wins or whatever it was.

(26:54):
He was super competitive against the Bills. They obviously lost
this week, but they've already beat them. So the turnaround
and you could make a case for any of these guys,
I'll make for somebody else. Who would you make a
case for? I would go to Denver? Denver and Sem Payton.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Yeah, because I hate to penalize people for how they
set themselves up for success. Yes, the Broncos literally have
two losses, right, they're twelve and two. A second year
quarterback and yeah, you're right, he's now been there what
three years?

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Because he came one with Russ he's been there four
years for.

Speaker 6 (27:27):
Us and then bow Knicks came in what so he
was there. I think two years with the rest.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Maybe whatever the case is. I don't think we penalize
him for that. I think you give the Coach of
the Year to the person who's coaching the best this year.
And I think a twelve and two Broncos team if
we were given the award right now, a number one seed.
If it were right now, the Broncos would have the
number one seed. I think you give it to him.
That's fair what he got third year. Yeah, yeah, third year.
So that's why I'd give it to Sean Payton. But

(27:52):
it is weird because you always want to give it
to somebody new because people were tired of Belichick winning
the award when he was the coach of the year.

Speaker 6 (27:59):
Yeah, if your record reflects it and your winning games,
regardless of how you do it. In the NFL, it's
difficul called to win games week in a week out
and be consistent and do it in such a manner
that they've done it this year. So I agree with you.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
All right, So I'm going to go now to the
Jeffrey Simmons story as my second story. So, Titans defensive
tackle Jeffrey Simmons, which, by the way, we don't.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Talk a lot of Titans here, No, we don't.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Jeffrey simmons home was broken into while the team was
in California. This is while they're playing the forty nine ers.
And I will say the Titans did show a little
heart in that game. Oh yeah, So I do want
to give him a cookie. Yeah, his house was broken into.
According to Metro Nashville PD, the burglary happened shortly after
seven pm local time, when at least six suspects entered
After smashing out window glass. Multiple items were taken. Team Securities,

(28:58):
working with Metro Nashville Police. The veteran defensive tackle took
to social media to report the burglary and even post
a video or the suspects. According to police, Simmons called
authorities when he arrived home from California early Monday morning
from ESPN.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
So, question.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
When you would leave town because everybody knows your schedule,
that's exactly right. Would someone always be at your house?

Speaker 3 (29:23):
No?

Speaker 6 (29:24):
And looking back, and I feel like it's been more
recent where you've heard mahomes Kelsey, there's been these string
of burglaries that have gone on where they go in
rob people's houses and they somehow know their schedule.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
You know they're not because they're playing in a different city.

Speaker 6 (29:41):
Right, And that's the scary part. And I feel like
it wasn't as prominent when I played, but recently you
hear more and more of these athletes and their homes
being burgularized just because people know their schedule. And that
was always a concern. That's why I got my dog
when we went down to North Carolina and got a
protection dog. A lot of that was because when I'm

(30:02):
not home, you want someone there to protect your family
or at least feel like you have an extra layer
of security. Because everybody, like the NFL does a great job.
They come in, they'll do a full assessment of your
home for free and tell you where some weak spots are,
where to maybe reinforce. It suggests different types of security,
whether it's cameras, this, that, and the other, so they're

(30:24):
aware of it. But at the same time, when they
know that you're gone and you're not home, then there's
an opportunity there, and that's just scary.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
Two things.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
One, if I'm ever on the road, if I have
tour dates up, they haven't toured in six eight months
or so. I always have somebody in my house, and
I'm not victim blaming it all.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
And I'll get to the point in a second.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Someone's always at my house if I'm not here, because
I know that if someone knows where I live and
I publicly am not there, I'm going to always have
somebody there. So we make it a point when we're
not here, somebody is always at the house. Right again,
not saying that he messed up by doing that, but
I don't think it was somebody random that knew he
was gone.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
I think it was inside.

Speaker 5 (31:04):
Yeah, that's the scary part too, because you're not working.
Here's that working at the house.

Speaker 6 (31:07):
Anybody that knows your kind of schedule when you're gone,
anything like that.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
You would think if you're breaking into somebody rich and
famous house, there's a great security or there's somebody in
the house. Somebody must have known there was nobody there.
It was so inside that I think that's what happened. Well,
one of those six know somebody that is on the inside.

Speaker 6 (31:25):
And the other crazy part is, like you said, you
know these people have security in some form or fashion,
a security system, cameras, all the different stuff and you're
still like, dude, I don't care. I'm going to figure
out a way in get into your house and take
what I want to take.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Unless you don't need to figure unless you know, unless
you know because you're on the inside. Yeah, how to bypass,
where the cameras are, what to cover, and that nobody's there.

Speaker 5 (31:50):
It's crazy, It sucks. It's really scary too.

Speaker 6 (31:53):
There's not a worse violation than somebody breaking into your
house or taking your stuff.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
I remember I got broken into once while I was
on the air, and my house got robbed. And I
came home and I opened the front door, and obviously
you come to the front door, and there was glass
all over the kitchen, and I thought, did I drop
a glass? I was so confused as to why there
was glass all over the floor. I didn't even look
at the living room yet, because the living room a

(32:18):
lot of stuff was stolen.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
I was just in this bewildered state of I don't
remember breaking any glass this morning. And then I look
up at the window and there's a hole in the window,
and I think, did a bird fly? It's this hole.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
You're trying to unwrap it all in like a few
minutes yeah, did a bird fly through and crad and
you're looking for a dead bird. And then as soon
as you look to the living room and I see
the TV play stake, all this stuff was gone. Yeah,
You're like, oh god, yeah, and then yes, it's extreme violation.

Speaker 5 (32:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (32:47):
I mean when I was in college, Laura and my wife,
now she's my girlfriend. Then we were watching movie upstairs.
We're at my apartment, and we had an apartment and
we're the last last unit before you backed up into
the alley where you'd come in and park. But it
was about a story and a half up, and so
we're watching a movie. You I just nodded off for
a second, and the next thing you know, you heard

(33:09):
this crash. I woke up this crash and Lauren said
it sounded like somebody jumped on our balcony area. So
I put her in the bathroom, tell her to call
nine one one, and I'm sitting there in my roommate.
Brody was gone for a baseball tournament, but I was like,
did he come back? Like, you know, it's college. You
start making excuses because somebody is not being discreet downstairs.
They're in the place, they're going around the living room.

(33:31):
You can hear the kitchen cabinets opening up, shuffling through,
and I don't know if they're making a sandwich wear
all that I'm hearing it all. So I finally knocked
on the door. I said, did you get a hold
of the police. She's like, they put me on hold.
I'm like, oh my god.

Speaker 5 (33:44):
So I said lock this.

Speaker 6 (33:47):
So now, next thing, and there we had the stairwell
that would come up to the two bedrooms upstairs. His
room was here, mine was right as you came up
the stairwell. Well, somebody starts charging up and I flipped
this massive chest over and I said, ay, whoever it
was didn't care that I did that. They run up
and they kick in my roommate's door. Well he's not there.

(34:07):
They kick it, and at that point I knocked on
the door, said we got to get out of here.
I opened up the bathroom window. There was this little screen.
I knocked that out, and there was a fire escape.
We go down the fire escape, run out to the
front of the building, and then we had to wait.
And I said, you walked down to where there was
a party going on down the street, walks down there,
luster is short within twenty five minutes, Department of Public Safety,

(34:30):
which is the private security force, are a usc They
show up. I said, are you responding to our call
to LAPD? And they're like, no, we're rexplying to the
apartment building right next to you. I said, well we've
called LAPD. They go back, guns around. The dude came
right through our sliding gas glass window. He jumped up
on there, smashed it through, took PlayStation and all the

(34:50):
different stuff that he could grab. Then he went in
the kitchen. There's knives all over my buddy's room like
so they called him a hot prowler. Then he jumps
over and some poor girl was in her apartment. He
breaks into her place while she's there, runs into the bedroom,
locks the door and it.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
He barret came himself in Or did he get all
the way out?

Speaker 5 (35:08):
Oh? He got all the way out of our house
because I was gone.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
Yeah, but in that other apartment, how did they get him?

Speaker 5 (35:14):
They didn't get him.

Speaker 7 (35:15):
Oh.

Speaker 6 (35:16):
So I was sitting there at one point and some
dude comes down the stairwell and he's got this big
backpack on and he's looking around like this and he
sees me and I'm probably forty five yards away and
he takes off running down the street.

Speaker 5 (35:27):
I was like, that was so strange.

Speaker 6 (35:29):
And within a few minutes that's when the Department of
Public Safety came up and I said, I don't know
if he's a suspect or not, but he came out
of that building a little while ago and took off running.

Speaker 5 (35:38):
They never found him anything.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
He got away with all the stuff, all the stuff
that's crazy.

Speaker 6 (35:44):
Yeah, pure violations, scary, like just yeah, then you're a
nervous it's going to happen.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
You never you never want to go back to that apartment.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
Right time for the weekend preview presented by DraftKings. From
first touchdown score to any time touchdown props or the
thrill of live in game betting, every snap is loaded
with the opportunity. Let's do the three big matchups this week.
Rams at Seahawks Thursday Night. Mister Casle can go first.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
I'm gonna go with the Seahawks at home.

Speaker 6 (36:12):
Sam Donald overcomes those big games, big game jitters Nodvante Adams.
I think he's gonna be gonna have significance in this
game because he's been bawling. He's got what fourteen touchdowns
on the year, big part and now that they can
maybe just focus on Pook and the cool even though
they've got obviously other guys going.

Speaker 5 (36:30):
But I'm gonna go to Seattle at home.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
Let's get the monkey off Sam Donald's bad.

Speaker 6 (36:34):
I mean, I want him to win a big game
me too, just to shut everybody up.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
Twelfth Man, you know Seattle is going to be loud.
I'm taking Seattle as well the Rams. I mean, this
is the game of the week without the Rams are
that they are the worst odds, So the pick to
win the super Bowl the worst? No, no, sorry, that
they have. It depends how you look at it. Yeah, yeah,
you're gonna make the least amount of money. That's so

(36:58):
they have the best odds. You're gonna make the So
to me, I.

Speaker 7 (37:00):
See the worst.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
I don't wanting to do with that.

Speaker 5 (37:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
So that they are the favorite to win the super
Bowl and they're really good and Mattic Stafford is probably
gonna be the MVP, right man. It would be such
a big win for Sam Donold, huge win. I'm taking
the Seahawks as well over the Rams. Thursday night Packers
at Bears. This game just happened two weeks ago, but
they are playing now in Chicago. They were in Lambeau
last time.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
Who do you get?

Speaker 6 (37:23):
Gosh, this one's a hard one to pick. I'm gonna
go with I'm gonna go with Chicago at home. I
think they're playing really good ball. Even if you go
back and watch that first matchup that they had, Caleb
Williams underthrows the ball in the back of the end
zone and it's but he's open to it was either
to go ahead or to tie it up. And I
just think that Chicago at home, the way that they're playing. Nope,

(37:44):
Micah Parsons is going to have an impact on this game.
I'm gonna go to Chicago.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
Yeah, I'm gonna go with the Bears too, so we're
aligned here. I'm going with the Bears simply because these
teams are both good. Nothing screams split like two really
good teams. Yes, that are playing two times in three weeks, two.

Speaker 6 (38:01):
Times in three weeks, So you're gonna you're gonna understand
what they're going to try to do.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
If one of them was heads and shoulders above the other,
I think I could possibly go Packer's gonna win them both.
But I think the Bears are a really good team.
I do seven of the power rankings. I don't go
to seven seven, ye I don't. Probably, I don't go
to seven. Jags at Broncos, Jags at Broncos.

Speaker 5 (38:20):
I think this is gonna be another great matchup.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
What a week, right, These are three awesome games.

Speaker 6 (38:24):
Awesome games. I'm gonna go Broncos at home. You know
I have all year? Then, like, can they keep winning
like this? Can they keep doing that? The way that
bow Knicks played last week against a really good opponent
at home. They've that defense is relentless. I mean, I'm
gonna go with the Broncos at home.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
Give me that gross, gross Jaguar blue.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
Green deal, by the way, even worse, even worse, Trevor
Lawrence for MVP.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
Let's go Trevor Lawrence for Envy's right, I'm going with Jags.
Would be a huge win for them.

Speaker 1 (38:58):

It's called The SpongeBob Movie Search for SquarePants, so make
sure you go check it out. Big thanks to Bill

(40:20):
for joining us. This is super cool. Here he is
Bill Fogerbacky.

Speaker 8 (40:24):
Yeah, we got.

Speaker 5 (40:28):
Hey Bill.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
We were just talking about the SpongeBob movie coming out.
But I just want to introduce me and my friend
Matt here. I'm Bobby Bell and this is Matt Castle.
We're both massive fans of you in different iterations, so
thank you for coming on with us.

Speaker 7 (40:41):
It's my pleasure, Bobby and Matt.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
I do want to start, if you don't mind talking
about Coach. I've seen every episode of Coach. I watched
Coach as a kid. I bought the DVD set when
I was a mild adult. I love Coach. It comes
up in my algorithm now like clips of Coach. Can
you tell me how you got on that show?

Speaker 3 (41:00):
Well, I was living in sorry, there's a time piece
here at the hotel. I was living in New York
doing theater since that's what I had studied. And I
just went through the typical auditioning process that actors go
through to get on a TV show, which was kind

(41:20):
of crazy because I'd never done TV before.

Speaker 7 (41:24):
So that brought me out to LA and.

Speaker 3 (41:28):
Kept getting picked up and and I'm an Angelino now.

Speaker 6 (41:34):
I think I remember reading that the character that you
played on Coach was based off of maybe a coach
that you had at Idaho? Is that true? Is that
an actual true story? And who was the coach? And
tell me the background there.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
Yeah, when I was I went to Idaho to play
football University of Idaho and in Moscow, and there was
a graduate assistant we had and his nickname was Tuna.
And and you know, when when you're auditioning for a
character or you're you're looking for a way to connect

(42:07):
to the material and to that very specific character.

Speaker 7 (42:12):
And I remember Tuna fondly.

Speaker 3 (42:15):
He was one of those graduate assistants that was somewhat
conspiratorial who would say, Okay, so listen, guys, we're really
going to have to kill it during a scout team today,
So I'm gonna take a little easier on you here
in these.

Speaker 7 (42:29):
Drills to and stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (42:32):
And the way he talked, So that was where I
chose to to uh connect.

Speaker 7 (42:40):
To the character.

Speaker 3 (42:40):
And I don't know what happened to his his name
was al. I don't know what happened to him. I
did here at one point he had heard that that
was the inspiration for Coach, and he wasn't that happy
about it, I'm sorry there, I enjoyed it myself.

Speaker 5 (42:58):
That's funny.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
So the juxtaposition of being an athlete at a high level,
you're playing at a D one school and also being
in theater, How were you so good at both because
both consume you to get better at.

Speaker 7 (43:11):
Isn't that interesting? How you know?

Speaker 3 (43:13):
It's that whole thing that I think athletes have often
have an affinity for, which is that performance, focus and
attention to detail. And so when I quit football after
my knee got blown out, which was a very crazy
circumstance because I was during springball my sophomore year and

(43:38):
I gave up the scholarship and I just came back
to school not knowing what to do with myself. And
I ran into another guy who had quit and we
was to sing in the showers drive everyone nuts. And
he said, hey, Willie, they're doing a musical here. We
should go try out. And I didn't even know that
they had a theater department at Idaho.

Speaker 7 (43:57):
I just ok going.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
And uh I Fortunately I enjoyed singing in high schoo
and stuff.

Speaker 7 (44:06):
So I got in the show and like three days later,
I went, oh, this is my deal, this is.

Speaker 3 (44:11):
My jam so lucky for me, and I still think
that guy every time I see him. He is a
judge in Boise, Idaho. But yeah, it was a crazy
kind of integration for me, and it happened quite suddenly.

Speaker 6 (44:27):
Do any of your old teammates or coaches when they
run into you and you know they know you now
as Patrick Starr that that person, did they say, oh, yeah,
that that definitely tracks, or they're like, I never would
have imagined this for you after football?

Speaker 7 (44:42):
Uh you know what?

Speaker 3 (44:45):
I think the latter is definitely employed in play for
a lot of a lot of guys like what, oh yeah,
we got Tim Lepano. He was a running back coach
and I heard I read this in a newspaper that
someone had mentioned it to him and he.

Speaker 7 (45:02):
Went, that guy, that guy that I played with is
on that show.

Speaker 3 (45:07):
You know.

Speaker 7 (45:10):
But yeah, that's interesting to see how people react.

Speaker 1 (45:14):
When you were in high school, you played multiple sports,
Were you like the best athlete in your town?

Speaker 3 (45:19):
Oh? Oh no, No, I was just a big lunk
and I was lucky enough to have a couple of
really great coaches, including for Track, who was also the
head football coach. But he was still is a magnificent
throwing coach for shot putting discus, and I fell in
love with that, and I loved throwing the discus in particular,

(45:42):
and then enjoyed basketball of course too. It was really
good for me, and I think it's really good for
a lot of young people to play team sports, and
I to this day, and in fact, as I get older,
I realized how crucial the team element of football is
a magnificent team sport, and that mentality really helped me,

(46:06):
I think, thrive in theater because theater is such an
ensemble effort and uh, you know, you just the more
you can fulfill, you know, your duties, but also be
supportive of those around you, the better everything goes.

Speaker 7 (46:24):
And that's that's been very important in my life.

Speaker 6 (46:27):
What was your first time on set, like when you're
going in to actually film something. Is it kind of
similar to the anxious butterflies you get when you're playing
in a football game or what?

Speaker 5 (46:37):
What was that mentality like for you?

Speaker 3 (46:39):
Yes, uh, Matt, that is yeah, those butterflies, the the
the anxiousness, anxiety and and and and so you got
to find your way through that to be able to
focus on what what.

Speaker 7 (46:55):
It is you want to do and achieve.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
But kind of like football where the first play and
it and it goes away and you're in the game.
It's kind of like that with live performance too, which
Coach very much was working in front of an audience,
so that it was it was definitely related to that. Yeah,

(47:23):
And I think that's that's part of the thing athletes
like to perform.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
I asked this question earlier about Coach, but I want
to ask you the same thing about SpongeBob. The genesis
of getting on that show? Is it another random audition?
I record myself doing all kinds of stuff and you
just send it off and then you'd never hear from
anybody ever. And it's one of those things. Is that
what happened here? It is?

Speaker 7 (47:44):
It's a void, isn't it. It's just I'm casting.

Speaker 3 (47:47):
This into some weird digital nether world that and does
anyone ever even are they aware of it?

Speaker 7 (47:58):
It was the SpongeBob audition By that time I had
I had kind of stumbled in this in the voiceover
in a way.

Speaker 3 (48:09):
Why as you called me up one day and said, hey,
listen there they have a breakdown for a cartoon dog
on Beethoven, which was going to be a Saturday Morning
cartoon based on the film Uh. And they say they
want the dog to sound like Dabber from Coach. Do
you want to go read for it? And I said, well,

(48:33):
sounds fun, but what if I don't get it?

Speaker 7 (48:36):
That would be depressing.

Speaker 3 (48:40):
So but I got it, and that kind of led
to because that's a very difficult path to enter voiceover.
It's there are limited opportunities for newcomers, so that that
that allowed that door to open for me, and that
led to me then an auditioning for other cartoons, doing

(49:01):
a few series, and then I got an audition for
this crazy thing called SpongeBoy and with these fantastic drawings,
but unlike typical voiceover auditions, mind you, this is ninety seven.

(49:22):
Instead of being in a studio, it was in a
conference room and it was this quiet, unassuming fellow named
Stephen Hillenberg who had a little black cassette player and
a microphone attached to it. And first he played me
the voice of SpongeBoy, who was Tom Kenny and who

(49:43):
I had met and worked with before, and he said
Patrick is his friend and so should be different from that.
And that was perhaps the luckiest day of my life,
so it entered. I was able to enter this job
where I love the characters so much, and I loved
my cast mates and love the whole process.

Speaker 6 (50:06):
From that first Patrick recording session that you did, how
close is the voice that you did for that recording session?
How close is that to what actually is the voice
of Patrick? I mean, has it changed or evolved at all?

Speaker 7 (50:19):
No, that's a that's a great point.

Speaker 3 (50:22):
You know.

Speaker 7 (50:23):
For instance, if you watch the original, if you watch
the pilot of Star Trek, you'll see Leonard de Moy's
performance as Spock to be quite different from what it
evolved into when when the show settled in.

Speaker 3 (50:40):
And I think a lot of us when we do
a pilot of something, there's a certain amount of I
hope this is it, and I think I think listening
to the pilot, it's you know, it's close, but vocally
it's it's slightly different. Patrick didn't have a lot to do,
but man, I love that cartoon.

Speaker 7 (51:02):
The pilot.

Speaker 3 (51:02):
It's only I think eight minutes long, and in any
in many ways, I believe it's a perfect cartoon.

Speaker 1 (51:10):
I feel like Patrick Starr in a way matured like
Steve Rkle did, which he wasn't really meant to be
the whole part of family matters. He wasn't meant to
be as main of a character, but he was so
undeniable in his character and playing that role. I feel
like Patrick is the same kind of person. Patrick is
so freaking fun, you do such a great job that

(51:30):
he over time then became almost an equal star, except
his name just wasn't on the show. Did you slowly
feel Patrick Starr being added more and more as the
show ran because people loved him so much?

Speaker 7 (51:42):
You know? That's the I love that.

Speaker 3 (51:45):
That's one of the great things about television and when
it's right, when the cast is right and the writing
is right, because you, as you say, you evolve, and
you evolve together with the writers and what and what.

Speaker 7 (52:02):
They are making sense of as they move along.

Speaker 3 (52:06):
And I think one of the key things with SpongeBob
and Patrick was that it jelled. The relationship between those
two characters jelled in a wonderful way. And Tom Kenny
is such a freaking genius time and again, I mean

(52:26):
SpongeBob just like is just so kind of intense and manic,
and then Patrick just he lays the groundwork for Patrick
to have some beautiful dopey comment, you know, And I
love those moments, but Tom's.

Speaker 7 (52:45):
Doing a lot of the heavy lifting there.

Speaker 6 (52:48):
You and Tom Kenny have known each other for a
really long time. What's something that you could tell SpongeBob
fans that they wouldn't otherwise know about him?

Speaker 3 (52:57):
Well, I guess most of the deeply rooted fans of
Tom Kenny know that he is a freakish music fan.
He can tell you virtually anything about ever recording he's
ever heard, regarding who played lead guitar, who produced it,

(53:20):
what they've worked on before, who composed it. It's an
incredible encyclopedia kind of mind he has about that information,
almost like some sports fans have about sports.

Speaker 7 (53:35):
But it's really something.

Speaker 3 (53:37):
And he has a band called Tom Kenny in the
High Seas, and I would urge any fans of SpongeBob
or Tom Kenny to explore that their website to look
for potential concerts nearby you, because they get around and
they're right.

Speaker 7 (53:54):
He loves old.

Speaker 3 (53:55):
Soul hits, you know, He's a soul shouter, as Paul
Schaeffer called him.

Speaker 7 (54:04):
So that's a good thing to know about Tom.

Speaker 1 (54:06):
If you have a cold, will you delay voicing Patrick Starr.

Speaker 3 (54:11):
Great question, one of the beauties of Yeah, that's a
great awareness. Yeah for voice over work. Since Patrick lives
in the basement anyway, vocally, certain afflictions might not impede

(54:32):
my ability. However, there is often a healthy amount of screaming,
and you really have to get some technique as you
work with this stuff so that the screaming doesn't harm you.

(54:53):
And if I have to do a lot of screaming,
or oddly enough a lot of laughing, because it's all
you know, you know, if you have to do a
lot of that, there's a real process and support system
you have to sustain. So the answer, the shorter answer

(55:17):
would be, I know when I won't be able to
deliver one hundred percent, so yeah, I will pass it.
And then sometimes I'll say, hey, can we leave the
screaming till the end of the recording and that will
be okay. But yeah, this is something very much you
have to be conscious of it because you don't want

(55:38):
to like wind up with a yeah eighty percent of
what you should have done.

Speaker 6 (55:43):
That would lead me to my next question, what's more
exhausting voice acting or live action acting?

Speaker 3 (55:50):
Well, live acting with I can tell you, when you're
doing comedy in front of an audience, it is so invigorating.
If the comedy's working, it is so much fun. You know,
a good example of the difference there. I don't know
if you if anyone's ever walked along the Hollywood boulevards.

(56:11):
Sometimes there are people with clipboard saying, hey, you want
to see the taping of a TV show. They are
looking for people, often to go in to watch a
pilot of a show that's never been seen before. And
our first season of Coach, no one knew the show,

(56:31):
so very often there was like a business called Audience
Plus that would bring that.

Speaker 7 (56:36):
Basically, they're paying people some I don't know what. They
get them a bag ONNCH.

Speaker 3 (56:40):
I don't know what it is, but they get people
to come in and watch a TV show. And during
that period, you've got to grab a joke by the neck,
strangle it, lift it up in the air, throw it
down on the ground, you jump up it down on
that joke. You make sure that people know it's a joke.

(57:02):
And then once the show's established, so now the audio
is populated by people who like the characters and like
the humor, then your character enters and they're just going
there's no you know, they're ready for they're ready for
humor from the character and it's just exhilarating. That's so great.

(57:23):
It's I would say, far more difficult to do comedy
on camera with no audience. That's really tricky. I mean,
you can just nail a joke and if you get
a smirk from the camera assistant, you know it's a
home run.

Speaker 7 (57:43):
You know.

Speaker 3 (57:43):
They very often the writers, a group of writers will
be on the set and so they can give you
a live response in terms of laughter.

Speaker 7 (57:52):
But it's comedy with no audience.

Speaker 3 (57:56):
Is I believe that film comedy is the hardest thing
to do easily.

Speaker 1 (58:03):
We have three final questions and I go with this one.
Do you ever just pop into the voice somewhere and
surprise people and they're like, hey, you sound just like
Patrick Starr but you don't actually tell them that you're patrick'star.

Speaker 7 (58:16):
I'm a bit more of a ninja about that.

Speaker 3 (58:19):
I will, you know, if I'm walking down the street
and some kids wearing a Patrick shirt as we pass,
I'll go over no shirt and I'll just keep walking.
So I don't know what happens. Maybe the kid thinks
that you know, Patrick just walked by him.

Speaker 7 (58:35):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (58:37):
Is that sometimes difficult because you know that you are
the voice of Patrick Starr, But I don't know how
many people associate your face with Patrick Starr.

Speaker 5 (58:46):
They associate your voice.

Speaker 6 (58:47):
But is that something that can be difficult as somebody
that records your voice and it's out there and you know,
and the people that know know, But I'm saying a
common fan might actually not know your face and put
that to Patrick.

Speaker 7 (59:00):
That's one of the beautiful things about voiceover.

Speaker 3 (59:03):
Is the physical anonymity of it. It really is special,
especially when you're doing a character's voice that you have
kind of created, you know. It's kind of like with Dawber.

Speaker 7 (59:18):
Well. I was able to create a voice for Dabber.

Speaker 3 (59:21):
That's why that whoever was developing that cartoon said, oh,
I want this dog to sound like that guy on
that sitcom about college football.

Speaker 7 (59:31):
So I don't I love that.

Speaker 3 (59:35):
I love that because you know, when you're six six
and walking around, you don't really need, you know, people
who to recognize you because you're because you're too big.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
Anyway, The biggest, beautiful, Biggest beautiful, come.

Speaker 1 (59:49):
On, final question and everybody check out the SpongeBob movie
Search for square Pants in theaters December nineteenth. I'm a
massive SpongeBob fans, so Bill, this has been awesome for me.
But my final question to you is, and it's such
a cliche question, but do you have a favorite all
time joke or line from your character that you still

(01:00:09):
laugh about when you think about it? He has written
so perfectly.

Speaker 3 (01:00:12):
There would let's see for my character, the one that
just like blew my mind when I when I saw
it in the storyboard when I was preparing for the record,
was the intermaginations on my mind or an enigma? And
then in the storyboard it showed it. It showed the

(01:00:33):
visual of a live action picture of milk spilling its contents.
As Patrick said that and he goes right into the
the one tooth open mouth drool afterwards.

Speaker 7 (01:00:46):
That was fantastic.

Speaker 3 (01:00:48):
But maybe my favorite line of all time is directly
tied to the performance of Roger Bumpus, who does Squidward,
and that's in the pilot where SpongeBob, to Squidward's consternation,
is a flying for a job at the Krusty Krab,
which is where Squidward already works, and he's really worried

(01:01:11):
that mister Crabs is going to hire him. And then
he hears mister Crabs not taking SpongeBob seriously and sending
him on a fool's errand saying, I want you to
go get me a specilor boy with it her Bo's
attachments and and all this stuff and and uh hi
Hydro and and SpongeBob, yes, sir, and he takes off

(01:01:35):
and and then Squidward walks up to Crabs and says,
uh Hydro, what oh, mister Crabs, you'r horror ball bat
line blew my mind. And Roger's performance is so perfect. Yeah,

(01:01:58):
there's there's so many moments. It still makes me laugh.
Patrick still makes me laugh.

Speaker 2 (01:02:02):
Bill, thank you so much for the time.

Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
We are massive fans uh us for their kids, their
massive fans. H just this has been a real real
thrill for us. So the SpongeBob movie search for square fants. Bill,
thank you, Hope you have a great rest of the day.
Happy holidays. Thanks have you holadays, Happy holidays, Thank you, Pabi. Okay,

(01:02:33):
one more story each, what do you have?

Speaker 5 (01:02:35):
One more story? All right?

Speaker 6 (01:02:36):
I've got divisional races down the home stretch of the season.

Speaker 5 (01:02:39):
Man, we've got some good stuff going on.

Speaker 2 (01:02:42):
What's the one you like the best?

Speaker 1 (01:02:44):
What's the most competitive, exciting divisional race in your mind?

Speaker 6 (01:02:48):
Well, you got to go with the NFC West right now, right,
I mean, especially considering best teams, best teams, Rams eleven three,
Seahawks eleven three, forty nine Ers ten to four. It
could go any which way down the stretch. And this
weekend Rams and Seahawks, or Thursday they play, one of
them is gonna lose.

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
One of them is going to lose. That means forty
nine or state care of business, the business gets the Colts,
let's go. I mean, it's kind to make twenty two
thousand dollars.

Speaker 5 (01:03:13):
That one's pretty interesting here.

Speaker 6 (01:03:17):
I think that AFC South is an interesting one because
you got the Jags at ten and ten and four
Texans there nine to five, and I think.

Speaker 2 (01:03:26):
The Texans are good. They're good, just the best in
the league. And then the Colts, Philip Rivers almost pulled
it off. They're done. Ye, I don't know, they're done.
It's fun to see Philip Rivers again.

Speaker 1 (01:03:37):
I just want if someone called you today and said,
can you give us because Philip rivers do what ten times?
Had ten complations or so through for like one hundred yards?
Could you play?

Speaker 3 (01:03:49):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:03:49):
I could still go out there and play.

Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
How's the arm?

Speaker 6 (01:03:53):
It's feeling better and better by the moment. I mean,
I could still rip it around, Let's be honest. And
the reason I say that is because I'm constantly throwing
a ball with my kids, like they want to go
out and throw. That's all all I'm doing now. It's
not an NFL football. Might take me a second. I'm
not going to run like I used to, but I
could still get you a few good yards on third down. Yeah,
but that's not happening. Nobody called me. They didn't even

(01:04:14):
think of me.

Speaker 1 (01:04:14):
I do like the NFC West though, NFC West, so
that's such a fun division over on that side. And
the fact that there are so many good teams. Right,
it's wide open.

Speaker 5 (01:04:24):
It's wide open. I don't know if it's wide open.

Speaker 1 (01:04:26):
It's wide open. It's pretty wide open. Look, you got
three right there that could all win it three right there.
I'm not discounting the Eagles because they've been so many
times like it's just about getting.

Speaker 6 (01:04:37):
There, right, you don't They always seem to hit a
little skid where they don't play their best ball. It
just has been and the Bears a lot of the Bears.
That's another division too, right, You got the Bears, That's
what I'm say. The Lions, who's a really good team,
but they just they've given up over five hundred yards
of on the defensive side of the ball for two
weeks in a row. That's a lot of yardage to

(01:04:59):
be giving up if they could stop anybody. But they're
a really good team. That's another good division.

Speaker 1 (01:05:03):
I don't know that there's a clear cut winner in
the nf I mean, the Rams are the favorite, but
I wouldn't be surprised by Rams, Bears, even the Eagles,
the Seahawks, the Niners, the Packers, or the Lions if
they got to the Super Bowl. You're I'm not going
to be shocked any of those teams.

Speaker 7 (01:05:19):
I know.

Speaker 5 (01:05:19):
That's the exciting part for the NFL.

Speaker 6 (01:05:20):
I think this year there's probably more Perdy, like we
talked about a few weeks ago. It's just there's not
that dominant team that you think, Okay, this team is
going to probably go to Super Bowl and win it all.

Speaker 2 (01:05:34):
Tampa Bay is a struggle. They're struggling. It's a struggle.

Speaker 5 (01:05:39):
That division is struggling.

Speaker 1 (01:05:41):
And they're gonna play the Panthers twice. I think if
they win one of the two, I think they their
odds to make the playoffs are very high. This week's
a big week for them because they are playing Carolina.
Then it's then they're all, I play a team that
doesn't matter.

Speaker 3 (01:05:55):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:05:56):
They play Week two, they play the Panthers again, so
it's one of those two out of.

Speaker 5 (01:05:59):
Three weeks, they're both seven and seven.

Speaker 2 (01:06:02):
What do you see Dolphins could win all of them.

Speaker 5 (01:06:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:06:06):
Yeah, But is what's up with Baker? I mean, is
this a long term hurt. They're not saying he's hurt,
but he looks at it, but yeah, something's up. The
eyeball test screams something's up, right, because he's also not
playing as aggressive as he normally plays, and when he
does get a aggressive it seems like he's third of
a step slow.

Speaker 5 (01:06:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:06:28):
He I don't think he could maintain that type of
aggressiveness that he had from early in the season because
he was taking so many shots and making a ton
of plays with his legs, but he was getting hit
constantly and that takes its toll over the course of
a season. There's no doubt about and he's a tough guy,
but something's going on.

Speaker 5 (01:06:43):
I'd agree with you.

Speaker 1 (01:06:44):
If we're looking at the current seedings right now, this
will be my final point. Over in the AFC, the
Broncos that won the Patriots at two, the Broncos are
probably going to be the one seed. I would think
that they're probably probably probably man that Bill's lost.

Speaker 6 (01:06:59):
They've got a big one this week, and the Patriots
do because they got the Ravens. Not to say that
the Ravens have been light out this year, but they
playing a lot better. Yeah, they's beat since he what
twenty four, twenty four nothing, it's tough day at the office.

Speaker 5 (01:07:12):
Er sincey But.

Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
Right now the Jags will be the three.

Speaker 5 (01:07:15):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
The Steelers will be the four because that is a
weak division. But if you win it, if you win it,
you're in. Yeah, you get a home game. Yeah, Chargers
at five. I do not believe. I think the AFC
is so much weaker. I think the here's my comparison.
The AFC now is the Big ten and the NFC
is the SEC. I could see that I think I'm

(01:07:37):
flipping from where I was earlier in the year because
there's just a lot of consistency with these strong NFC
teams and the AFC is so top heavy. But I
don't even believe in the top Like I don't believe
in the Broncos. I believe that they're twelve and two
and they've really played well. If I had to pick
five teams win the Super Bowl, I don't know there
are my top five teams. I don't believe in the Patriots.

(01:07:59):
I root for the Patriots. They're a good team, but
they're so young. I don't believe in the Patriots.

Speaker 6 (01:08:03):
Yeah, I think that it's in interesting with the a
f C two is you probably would sit there and
if looking at all those teams and saying who because
you haven't got to them yet.

Speaker 1 (01:08:13):
The Bills, Bills, that's the only team I believe in,
and right now they're the sixth seed. That's the only
team I believe in the team believe Josh Allen. That's it.
It's a quarterback league. And there's no Patrick Mahomes in
the AFC this year. There could be no Lamar Jackson
and the AFC nine now they're almost gonna have to
win the division, right yea, the yeah, the coult ain't

(01:08:34):
making it. The AFC is pretty much in at this point. Broncos, Patriots, Jaguars,
Steelers at four, Chargers at five, Bills at six, Texas
at seven. Now, there could be some movement there in
the seven sixty five, yep, but those are really the
teams over in the NFC side. It's like I mentioned earlier,
I believe in a lot of these teams. RAMS believe
in them.

Speaker 2 (01:08:53):
Bears.

Speaker 1 (01:08:54):
I believe in the Bears more than I do of
the Broncos, And those two teams are very similar to
me in second year quarter those second year quarterbacks both
have outperformed what I think I felt like the expectation
was of them. Even though I think people thought the
Broncos would win. I don't think they thought they win
like this, No, but I think they were used on
the Bears.

Speaker 5 (01:09:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:09:13):
The Broncos defense, I would say, is at a different
level than what the Bears are.

Speaker 1 (01:09:19):
The Eagles, I know at times they've really struggled. You're
just not going to convince me that they're not. They
can't win a playoff game. I've just seen them do
it too. Many times, right, and be at a Super Bowl.

Speaker 6 (01:09:30):
A majority of those guys have were on that team
last year. Lane Johnson should be back for playoffs, correct, which.

Speaker 5 (01:09:36):
Would be a huge boost.

Speaker 6 (01:09:38):
Yeah, they've been there, They've done that, and until somebody
goes out and beats them and knocks them out, then
I still think Philadelphia is a dangerous team when it
comes to playoffs.

Speaker 2 (01:09:46):
I don't believe in the Bucks.

Speaker 1 (01:09:48):
Nope, the Seahawks, I think I'm not going to put
them in the belief category. If Sam Darnald wins this week,
I'm gonna have a little more belief.

Speaker 2 (01:09:54):
But they're a really good team, oh, no doubt.

Speaker 1 (01:09:56):
I'm just mentally crippled by the fact that Donald did
not play well those games last year.

Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
Right. I do believe in the forty nine ers. Here's
a dangerous team too. You know.

Speaker 6 (01:10:07):
I think that the that NFC West is very similar
to what the AFC North was last year, right with
the Vikings, the Lions, Green Bay. Three teams that wasn't
a Green Bay. Yeah, all three of those teams were
what fourteen thirteen wins something like that. Yeah, fighting for
the division at the end.

Speaker 7 (01:10:26):
Of the year.

Speaker 2 (01:10:27):
The Lions aren't that Division though, are they?

Speaker 5 (01:10:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:10:29):
Yeah, yeah, the Packers, Bears, the Lions.

Speaker 5 (01:10:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:10:34):
Isn't that cold enough?

Speaker 5 (01:10:35):
I was correct?

Speaker 2 (01:10:35):
Right, Well, they're indoor. I'm making sure I'm correct. It's
not cold enough.

Speaker 5 (01:10:39):
It's not cold enough. They're indoors.

Speaker 6 (01:10:42):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:10:43):
The NFC. Can you bet just NFC or a FC?
There's got to be a bet?

Speaker 5 (01:10:49):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (01:10:49):
Because I think I think I was NFC except unless
they play the Bills. Would that be a way to
bet that?

Speaker 5 (01:10:57):
There's probably parlight for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:10:59):
I bet all NFC unless it's the Bills, and then
I do. I think I bet the Bills to win
the Super Bowl. The Bills make it to the Super Bowl, Yeah,
because I just did. The quarterback is the biggest game changer.

Speaker 6 (01:11:08):
He is by far the biggest game changer. Oh, Stafford too,
Stafford's probably gonna be MVP. Yeah, But who would you
rather have? Stafford or Josh Allen? Because I'm still going
with Josh Allen. Yeah, his dual threat capabilities are off.
It's close charts, It's really close. Because Staffords, a pure passer,

(01:11:29):
is probably the best in the game and one of
the best I've ever been around.

Speaker 5 (01:11:33):
And then Josh Allen. He's at another level.

Speaker 6 (01:11:38):
If you gather his skill set and put it into
a box, you'd say, this is what an MVP best
quarterback in the league looks like.

Speaker 5 (01:11:47):
It's this guy right here.

Speaker 6 (01:11:48):
Just his sheer size, his ability to run the ball,
rocket for an arm and now he's a great decision
maker as well with less talent.

Speaker 2 (01:11:56):
What do you say, Yeah, you can bet winning conference. Oh,
I would have to imagine the NFC is a favorite?
Oh yeah is it? Minus? Yep? Minus one thirty forty.

Speaker 1 (01:12:08):
So so plus one fifty one, fifteen fifteen.

Speaker 2 (01:12:15):
Dang, NFC strong. I don't even like the NFC. I'm
a big AFC guy.

Speaker 4 (01:12:20):
Well, yeah, you're a SEC guy, not a big ten guy, right,
same thing, because you said the NFC.

Speaker 2 (01:12:24):
Is yeah, that's first roots are.

Speaker 5 (01:12:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:12:27):
Hey, thanks to Patrick Starr for stopping by the show.

one guest, could you already.

Speaker 2 (01:12:48):
Know Scott Hansen? That's right on the red zone, that's
right be here in the witching hour, that's right, man,
they're witching hours nuts.

Speaker 6 (01:12:55):
So it always happens, and it's going boo boo boo boom, but.

Speaker 2 (01:12:59):
Like stupid stuff happens. Yeah, for win's becoming losses and losses.

Speaker 1 (01:13:03):
You want to jump off your poor and break your
neck because you just lost a bunch of money.

Speaker 2 (01:13:08):
Is that just me?

Speaker 7 (01:13:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:13:10):
I was gonna say, how many people are watching that?
You've got fantasies one thing? But the people that are
betting like to cover, to do whatever they're betting, are
just screaming at that television.

Speaker 2 (01:13:22):
Fantasy big too.

Speaker 1 (01:13:23):
Because playoff started last week and our big money league
I got to buy, I was the number one overall seats.

Speaker 2 (01:13:30):
I got to buy.

Speaker 6 (01:13:31):
A buddy of mine said that he plays in this
league with you. Are you with Kluges? Yeah, So a
buddy of mine, Preston, came up and said, I'm in
the league with your boy, Bobby. Dude, he's really good
and he's calculating. And then I started looking at his moves.
I'm like, why is he doing that? Should I be
doing that.

Speaker 5 (01:13:48):
It was so funny.

Speaker 6 (01:13:49):
I was like, so as he won this way, He's like, dude,
I think he's won it like three years in a row.

Speaker 2 (01:13:53):
Well, I'm the I could totally see. That's not a spirit.

Speaker 1 (01:13:57):
That's not accurate. I am good every year. Yes, of
course you are. No, not, of course. I like I
put time and effort and energy, and I'm always backing
up my I think a lot of people don't focus
on the players they're never gonna play because they're never
gonna play until you have to have somebody.

Speaker 6 (01:14:11):
Right, you gonna buy, or somebody gets hurt and you go.

Speaker 1 (01:14:15):
And I've got I have handcuffs to my best. So again,
I don't win every season because it's one game and
you're out, so I gotta buy. First week of the playoffs,
second week of the playoffs is this week. I'm the
number one overall. See but I'm playing a team that
got really hot. But yeah, I watched the freaking Witching Hours.
When I lose everything, I never win in the Witching Hour.

Speaker 5 (01:14:31):
Ever.

Speaker 2 (01:14:32):
Is there anything worse than you're say?

Speaker 6 (01:14:35):
It's your running back makes a really long run down
to the three yard line and then all of a sudden,
they substitute them out and the other guys scores and
you go, no.

Speaker 1 (01:14:43):
The word, no, the world. Yes, Okay, we are done.
