Speaker 1 (00:05):
And when I woke up this morning, I was feeling
pretty dangerous for tonight. They are when we thought they
were wet. Hello, you plenty to win the gate. They
want you to cook the dinner. At least they ought
to let your shop for some of the grocers. And
on the way up, we're gonna buy a kneecap off playoffs.
You're kidding me. I'm just here so I won't get Finally,
(00:26):
how could he not be romantic about football? Hello, everybody,
Welcome to the Bench with Vonetta podcast. I know what
you're thinking. Oh, she's at home again, not in studio. Well,
guess what I already worked today. Okay, I already showed
my face. We're on the NFL network campuses. I sold
(00:48):
some Lexus cars for the Saturday pre show. You can
check that out. They didn't, unfortunately, let me have a key. Um.
But I'm at home because there's there's pressing things on
the agenda this eve. Um, boys, I'd like for you
to come in here while I talk about this. I
got an invite your girl, RB got an invite to
(01:08):
a real Hollywood premiere. In fact, no, maybe sent me
there that maybe you've heard about Brad Pitt will be
in attendance. Margot Robbie will be in attendance. I am
going to the Babylon premiere and h Wood two nights,
so I have to you know, the glamor is glaming,
the hair is herring. That sounds weird. Um, but my
(01:30):
good friend mohun here just send the audacity to tell
me to talk to Margot Robbie for him. MO. I
gotta I gotta know if you were in the same
room as Margot Robs, would you actually go and say
hi to her? Because famously I don't like to talk
to the celebrities. I sat in the ted Lasso Little
(01:51):
Sweet during the London football games. I said nothing to
no one. I was stealthy. I was invisible. Okay, that's
how we prefer it. Um, would you say hi to
Margot Robs? I'm with you. I don't like forcing conversations
with celebrities, but she's on. She's on like a list
that I would Oh, I would say, would you say
(02:12):
my entire life? If I didn't say anything, no, I
wouldn't say that. I would. I would introduce myself and
you know, see, pretend ask who she was, who she was, Hi,
who are you like, hey, do you come here often?
Or something? I don't know, a jail. I don't want to.
(02:35):
I don't want a fanboy and be like, oh my god,
you're pretty, You're so great. So you would start your
relationship off with the most dishonest note possible. Let me
get this straight, just so we can clarify for the
people at home. You would go to a premiere of
a movie starring Margot Robbie and say Hi, I'm Mohan.
Who are you? Do you come here often? To what
(02:58):
movie premieres? I would say it like a lot. I
I don't know. I would need to. I'm better when
I just wing it. That's I can't. This can be
pretty Listen. I can confirm Moham's got game. Okay, I've
seen it in real life. I have no doubt that
you would impress Margot Robbie with your ways, Graver, are
you the kind of person if you know a celeb
is about you'll go and strike a conversation with him.
(03:20):
I completely shut down, Like if I see Brad Pitt
on the red carpet tonight, I'm walking in the opposite direction.
So I used to think that I was. I'm fairly
shy in general. I used to think that I would
never approach a celebrity, and then we went to the
Combine in Indie last February, and I mean not that
they're like celebrities celebrities, but seeing all the NFL head
coaches hanging out in the bar, I was like, this
(03:43):
is a once in a lifetime chance to go make
conversation with people that I admire. So yeah, I told
um Kevin Stefanski that he was number one in my
head coach hotness rankings. I told Mike McDaniel that everyone
was rooting for him, and he like screamed like a
crazy person when I told him that, And uh yeah
it was. It was fun. A little liquid courage I'm
(04:04):
sure helped lubercpe Um. Okay, well, anyways, that's why I'm
home because I get to go be a fancy person tonight.
And I'm so frenna. If you don't say, if you
don't say anything to Brad Pitt, we're not friends anymore.
What do I say? What do I work? Okay? Okay,
hold on, let's workshop this. He's a Saints fan, right,
he is a Saint. I'm gonna saying, hey, how about
(04:27):
your team. That's not good at all. I can't do that.
I can't do that. Like Saints fan, I think, tell
him is untied? What? And then what Moha? I don't know?
Then then that's initiating conversations half the battle. Absolutely not.
I'm never putting myself in a social situation with mohaunted.
(04:48):
There is a famous person about I cannot be I
cannot handle the stress situation. What happens when he looks
down and double days it's not untied? Hey, her Drew
use this is gonna He is thinking about coaching coaching
a college team that was announced today. Right, what do
you think about that? Brad? Now that's too dorky, that's
(05:10):
way too dorks. Okay, we're gonna Sean Payton's coming back
to the Saints next year, John Paynton coming back to
the scenes. What you better hope jogs? Your team sucks.
It's not gonna work. It's not gonna work. It all
leads back to the same place. Okay, we're gonna workshop
this a little bit as we get into this show. Oh,
by the way, before we get into the most ridiculous
segment that I have to talk about. Um, we were
(05:31):
talking about with Katie on Tuesday. Candy Kane Lane, which
is the thing that exists in Los Angeles. It's like
this whole row of houses that people just go all
out for. Somebody emailed me today that works at NFL
Network and he lives in Candy Kane Lane. He says, right, Rachel,
loving the podcast. I just finished listening to the Ladies
(05:52):
of Kyle. I'm living in Candy Cane Lane and we
fully knew what we were getting into. This is our
first year and traffic is a bit rough, but overall
it's been fun and the kids love it. He never
told me if it's it's if it's like, you know,
like a real estate situation that somebody has to like
if somebody died in the house, you have to let
them know. UM. I don't know if that was the case,
but Anthony, thank you for reporting back that it's not
(06:14):
that bad. Um. I think you should get money off
your house if you're living in a Candy Cane Lane.
To be honest, I think it's would probably be a nightmare.
But secretly I want to be a part of the community.
I think I'm just feeling left out. I think that
that's what it is. Okay, So that's our candy Cane
Lane report. Uh. Next thing's next. I don't know if
you guys saw this. It went viral this week. I'm
(06:35):
not gonna do any spoilers, but White Lotus is the
greatest television show on TV right now. And just if
you're not watching it, no, don't, don't nod your head
like that. It's maybe I'll maybe I'll like to White Lotus.
I got it, I got it. I got it, guys,
I got it. Brad, if you're not in White Lotus
season three, you may as well go k and coach
(06:58):
the things because they may need all that they There
you go, There you go, White Loadus season three starting
Brad Pitt. That would be saying, Okay, that's my opener.
If I run into Brad, that's my opener. There we go. Um. Okay,
So Mike White is the creator of this show, and
it was revealed this week it kind of like went
viral that he was on Survivor once upon a time,
(07:20):
and we don't often get to see famous people, if ever,
on Survivor. Um. I've already spoken about my Uh, I
want to do this show, and I think that I'd
be very good at it. And somebody, a listener of
the pod, actually reached out to me and said, hey,
I've been on Survivor before and I can contact you.
I can put you in contact with producers if you
(07:40):
really want. I don't know if that's something I'm gonna do,
but it might be on the list. Um. Okay. So
it really got me thinking, like if we were, by
the way when we first started this podcast, or like,
what do you want this podcast to be about? I
was like, I want it to just be like what's
in my brain and we'll spin it to be about football.
That's exactly what this segment is right now. Because all
(08:00):
I'm thinking about his Survivor and who would go on
it and who would I love to see on it?
And so we are doing Survivor NFL version. So I'm
gonna show you guys ten players that I think would
thrive or be terrible on Survivor, and you tell me
if you agree or disagree. Okay, First things first, here's
Team one. Got ten ten players. Here ten players and
(08:20):
coaches Team one Aaron Rodgers. Obviously he's gonna he's gonna
go into this thing thinking that he's gonna be like
one with the Woods. One with the beach, one with
the ocean. He's gonna be vibing out doing yoga. He's gonna,
you know, be out there catching fish with his bare hands.
First one voted off the island. He is out of there.
Nobody wants it, nobody has time for it. You're just
(08:44):
gonna see everybody rolling their eyes in their confessionals, and
you're just gonna see everybody go up with their little scrolls,
and it's just gonna say Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers, Rodgers,
He's first, He's first to go. I'm sorry his first.
As much as I would it's gonna be great content.
As much as I want hear about the conspiracy theories,
he's out done um Mike McDaniel obviously, who knows, who
(09:07):
knows what he is doing. I feel like he's going
to be the kind of guy that's like, you know,
the one person and survivor that UM has like a
truce with everybody, and he's just like, oh yeah, no,
I'm I'm totally on your side. I'm not talking to
those people. I'm talking to you like it's just me
and you, baby, It's just me and you. And then
you see it like literally five minutes later he's doing
that to the other person, like, I'm not talking to
those people. It's just me and you. I feel like
(09:30):
he's got a little um shadiness to him. Uh. He's
a schemer, exactly like McDaniel major Survivor scheme revibes. He's
going far, but his his is gonna be like the
most dramatic standoff because he will have been caught, people
will have started to talk. He cannot be trusted. He's
getting out of there. Kirk Cousins. I feel it could
(09:51):
be a dependable dad. He's going to know how to
do the fires. He's gonna know how to grill some
like weird. I don't know if you guys saw the
viral like stakes that he made a couple of months ago,
or maybe it was last They're disgusting. Just google kirk
cousin steaks. Okay, I'm not even a red red meat eater,
and I this is I would not I would never
go near this. It's disgusting. It looked like stones on
(10:12):
the barbecue. Um. So he's gonna make some mediocre food,
but he's going to make sure that the table is
set at the end of the day. Okay, he's the
dependable dad provider for the camp. The provider. Um, obviously
we need somebody that's gonna bring the drama. That's gonna
be Odell Beckham Jr. He is going to be causing shennanigans. Um.
(10:32):
He's gonna make it somewhat far because he's dedicated and
he's a hard worker and people do like him because
he is entertaining. But he is going to get in
the most fights. He's gonna be you know, he's gonna
be front row center. Um, and I very much would
like to see this. Here's who's going the furthest among
this group. George Kittle. George swimming in the ocean grabbing
(10:53):
a fish with his bare hand and biting its head off.
Far like George Kittle the show Oh We'll end Okay,
the million dollars has been awarded, and George kill is
still on this island because he's just really enjoyed it.
That's the that's the kind of vibe that I get
from George k Okay, So he's winning the mill. Five
more players that I think are going to do well
(11:13):
on the island. Pete Carroll. We always need like an older,
really in shape guy, that's just gonna like be everyone's
kind of caretaker. But really he's a little sneaky. He's
the guy everyone's like, wow, he's like I can't believe
I'm still here. Usually they vote the old person out first,
but like he's just kicking it somehow. He doesn't make
(11:35):
he doesn't win. But there are a bunch of people
that cry when he gets voted off. And I would
be one of those people, Like it would be the
kind of thing like you like to hold up the
scroll and you're like, I'm sorry to do this. Um,
you're a great man, but boom, Pete Carroll, you're out
of here. It's gonna it's gonna be a lot of
that Bill Belichick. Obviously, he's not even gonna get voted out.
(11:58):
He's going to leave. He is going to be the
one that's like, I'm out. I'm not doing this anymore
with a bunch of children. Okay, I'm out. He's going
to just have enough of it and in peace before
I'm thinking week two, he's out, Week two, week three.
I hope we get three weeks of Bill Belichick, but
I'm not pressing it past that. Um, Joe Burrow, I
(12:19):
think It's a really interesting one because I just really
wanted to get to know him. I want the confessionals.
I want to see what kind of guy he is. Um,
I know he's surviving a long time. I feel like
his social game would just be the best on the island.
Wouldn't though, because I don't know, he's so quiet and
he's so like thinking about that might turn people off. Yeah,
(12:39):
but he has so many locker rooms that he's gone
into and immediately won over. Like he transferred from Ohio
State to l s U as a senior and like
immediately won over the l s U locker room. Came
into Cincinnati as a rookie, immediately won over that locker
But I feel like people just gravitate towards him, so
he would do well. Yeah. I think that Joe bur
(13:00):
was the heart throb of the season. I feel like
he he enters the season with like, you know, maybe
like fifty Instagram followers. He leaves the season with over
a million, and he starts his own podcast and maybe
he goes on the Bachelor, Like that's the survivor season
that I think that Joe Burrow is going to have. Um, Okay,
last two Jamal Williams just for the sound bites alone.
He makes it. It's him and George Kittle at the end,
(13:22):
Jamal Williams and George Kittle, the dance moves, the soundbites,
the interviews. He's a superstar. He needs to be on
a reality show. I love watching him play football. He's
having an incredible season, so were the Lions. But I
cannot wait to see what this man does afterwards. And
I hope it is something in entertainment, some kind of
Big Brother survivor. Whatever you want to do, Jamal, We're
(13:43):
going to support you on this podcast. Um. And then
finally the last one, Aaron Donald. He's gonna pull a
tree out of the ground, split it in half and
build build your little house. Okay, you want Aaron Donald
on your team? First Survivor. I can also see him
going far. It's Aaron Donald, George Kittle and Jamal Williams
(14:06):
standing at the end. Pete Carroll's the fourth Pete Carroll's
the runner up. What do you guys think about my
Survivor casting? I love it. Aaron Donald would be such
a challenge beast, but he would be such like a
merge boot because everyone would be like as soon as
he loses an immunity challenge, we have to take the
chance to get rid of him. But he would never
lose an immunity challenge, and that's why he's in your
top three. That's a good point. I didn't even think,
(14:27):
to be honest, I was thinking more of like this, like, um,
kind of the gameplay behind the scenes, not even in
the challenges, because really that is kind of what it's
all about, is like you don't want to get voted out. Um. Also,
they're all NFL athletes, so they would all pretty be
pretty good. They're all going to do really well. I
think I think I think O'Dell will be the first
one voted off. You know, he's just gonna get in
(14:48):
a fight with like a tree. I think he's the
first one gone. Okay, that's a great question, graver. Who
do you think is the first one to get voted off?
And who do you think wins? I think Bill b
would be the first one off, like before he has
a chance to quit, he would get voted off because
he'd be like just trying to do things his own way,
not really like vibing with the group. And I think
(15:09):
Joe Burrows your winner he's just got so much charisma.
People like want to give him the million. At the end,
Bill Belichick lost in like the physical challenge was grumpy,
went back to the camp before everyone got there and
destroyed like ten through like the little rice bags, like
into the tree, like just had full tantrum breakdown. Mo,
(15:32):
who's winning and survivor here? I'm gonna go with Jamal Williams.
That's good. He does. He deserves it. He deserves the
one mill or whatever they're gonna I think Daniels, then
you think rage, I think he really Steamers, stay in, Steamers, Schemers,
(15:54):
stay scheming. I've heard you're not wrong. Okay, guys, that
is our fantasy survivor. Let us know who you think
would win, who you think would live? Who did we miss?
That was very fun to put together. By the way,
we should do more chaotic segments more often. Okay, coming
after the after the break, we're gonna talk actual football.
We are picking the games this weekend, um, and there's
(16:16):
some very good ones. Also. We got two days of football, baby,
we got Saturday and Sunday, so buckle at dun points.
We'll get tonight. All right, let's get to some football. Baby,
(16:41):
here are the standings. Okay, it's getting tight. It's getting close.
Rachel one, thank you, mohun and one I am on
your heels Mo Justin Fort and one kid Jookie. I'm
going um, I'm going pretty underdoggi today. So blackle up, baby,
(17:09):
first game on the list. I am so excited for
this game. This game is gonna be so much fun. Uh,
Miami Dolphins versus Buffalo Bills. We're gonna talk about this
game coming up in the best and the worst thing
that I saw, because there's things that I want to say.
I don't want to give too much away, but I
mean weather is like top of the top headlines for
this game. You've got a team. The last time these
(17:31):
two played very hot game. Now it's all in Buffalo's corner.
Buffalo's favored by seven. I am going Buffalo as a push.
I got twenty I'll go. I'll change it. I'll change it.
I'll go Buffalo minus seven thirty to twenty one for
the Dolphins. Uh. I'm feeling good about this. Miami lost
(17:51):
to the Chargers. This whole, like Herbert to a conversation,
is like very tiring and annoying. I'm over it. Um,
but I think Buffalo is just on such a run
right now. They're just taking to the playoffs. Give him
the week off. Done, Dun, dune, dune, dun. Just see
me in the super Bowl. I'm going Buffalo, What about you? Justin?
(18:12):
What do you like? I'm taking Miami to cover this
spread because they have been so bad two weeks in
a row that like, once that happens, you have to
look at yourself and make some kind of change. And
I feel like they're going to come out with a
just like a new fire to be good. And maybe
they don't win, but I think in the snow Josh
(18:32):
Allen's elbow, we're still not sure how healthy he is.
They're like signing old receivers that they used to have
on the team back on the team because they're desperate
for offensive production or something. Cold Beasley is back with
Buffalo now just weird vibes to me. So I'm gonna
take Miami plus seven, But I do think Buffalo will
will win the game. Didn't Cole Beasley fully retire this season,
(18:52):
Like It's not like he like dropped and like went
to another team. He retired. He come out of retirement
to sign that's wild. What are you like in this game?
I'm going Dolphins to cover, but Buffalo to win. I
think it's gonna be it's gonna be lower scoring, the
snow is gonna be there, But I think McDaniel's gonna
(19:13):
drop a good game plan. He's not gonna have three
bad games in a row. I wouldn't be surprised. I
wouldn't be surprised if Miami keeps this close. I also
wouldn't be surprised if it's a really weird game, as
the weather e games tend to be in that Miami
actually wins, which would be insane. But Rachel, you have
a chance to make up serious ground with this game.
Me and Mohan both pick in Miami. Okay, So I'm
(19:34):
going Buffalo minus seven. Okay the next game, also very
excited about. Jets are favored by one and a half
versus the Lions. I am going Lions twenty one. B
I think I've picked the lines every single game this season,
But like the Jets, I don't know what's going on,
and and like maybe Zach Wilson did more than what
we think he did, because it's getting a little bit weird.
(19:56):
Mike White was in, he got injured, he went out,
he came back, and he went out. Joe Flacka went in.
No Zack Wilson. Uh Saul is still saying like he's
not done with this team, but then they're not playing
him when they like kind of desperately need him. I
don't know. Something weird going on with the Jets. I'm
very all in on a Mike White Christmas. I would
love to see him back in there. I know he
(20:17):
got a little bit banged up. He's like ribs where
he looked like he was in rough shape. Um. I
hope he makes a quick recovery and and you know,
the fairy tale is back and alive. But you know
what fairy tale I love even more is the Lions.
Right now, they are having a blast. I I hope
they win the rest of their games. They are so
much fun. I'm cheering for them. I don't know what
the odds are for them to make another playoffs, but
(20:38):
good lord, that would be so fun. I am going
Detroit plus one and a half graver, What do you like?
I'm so confused by all this Mike White talk. We've
got Mike White, the creator of White Lotus and former
Survivor player. We got Mike White, the quarterback of the Jets.
I'm taking the Lions plus one and a half as well.
They're just too fun to root for. The offenses really
come alive, and the defense is getting better. I don't
(21:00):
understand what's happening with the Jets quarterback situation either. Why
Zack Wilson isn't even the backup because Joe Flacco is.
He just doesn't have it anymore. So yeah, give me
the Lions. I love. Last week on game debut, the
Lions were playing the Vikings and they won. Uh. And
one of my reasons for picking the Lions was just like,
they've got a really bad defense. And then I pulled
up the stat that Kirk Cousins is owen owen three
(21:23):
when facing like a bottom ten total defense or something like.
Bad defenses are just his kryptonite, and apparently they continue
to be. Um Mo, what do you like in this one?
That's a sweet for US three. I'm going the Lions
to UH. I think Zach Wilson's the second string now.
But even if Mike White gets hurt, his zero confidence
(21:46):
going in there, and I think the Lions keep rolling.
That is tough even if Zach Wilson does go in,
he's kind of got like a lot of pressure on
his shoulders, like his teammates like seemingly hate him and
are wearing like T shirts with Mike White's picture on them.
Like what was once the Jets were such a fun situation,
just like a mere couple of weeks ago, and now
(22:07):
it's like really weird vibes. Vibe check bad. Okay, also
very excited for this. We got the Bengals, who are
on a role right now, finally beating the Browns. They're
favored by three and a half over Tom Brady and
the Bucks. I am going Cincinnati and kind of like
confidently I'm going thirty one. I loved this this week
(22:31):
that um Joe Burrow was like, uh, I think he
was asked, are you gonna get anything from Tom Brady?
Are you gonna, like, you know, do a jersey swap
or autograph after the game, And he was like, no,
I'm not going to focus on the game. I'm gonna
play football. I kind of loved that. And then Tom
Brady was like great young quarterback, you know, gave him
some gave him some props. So I'm really excited for
(22:52):
this game, but I think that the Bengals win. I
think the Bengals are are doing their thing right now, Jesson,
I fully agree. I'll be surprised at the Bucks get
to twenty four. Their offense looks so hard to just
like even move the ball and get any first downs
at all. Four points seems high against surging Bengals defense.
So give me Cincinnati in like a comfortable win. You
(23:14):
might be right, But then there's always that like garbage
time stuff for Tom Brady, like as we saw on
Monday Night, football just like pulls out of his like
bum so he can never really trust anything when it
comes to the box. Right now, what are you like
in this one? Yeah, I'm going Bengals Big Joe Burrow Um.
He was asked about comparisons with Brady and he's like,
(23:34):
I'm Joe, He's Tom. I think Brady is like over it.
Last week when they lost the Niners, he signed a
ball that the corner gave him after the game. Like
Brady supposed to be this great competitor. Is he calling it? Like?
I'm not sure? I will say the Bengals receiving course
pretty banged up. Tee Higgins dealing with a hamstring. Tyler Boyd,
he's got a finger messed up. Heah, But I will
(23:58):
say they they won the game without Joe Mixon and
Jamaar Chase like a couple of weeks ago, So I'm
not even they find a way. They find a way exactly. Uh.
And finally, I mean, let's get to the game of
the week. Let's get to the game of the week. Boys.
We got the Rams who are a seven point underdog
(24:18):
against the Packers. And and credit where credit is due.
Our guy, the official guy of the podcast, Baker Mayfield
NFC Offensive Player of the Week, NPCY Offensive Player of
the Week. He got there on Tuesday, he showed up
on Thursday. Oh I love that line. I'm gonna write
that down. Uh, going Rams just because it's fun, just
(24:42):
because it's fun. I'm going Rams and twenty four. I
don't care. I don't care. This is for funzies, this
is for RB Okay. I want to see Baker Mayfield
shine Packers. I don't know they've been there coming off
there by right. Um. I think they look a little rusty. Baker.
On the other hand, the opposite, graaper, what do you like?
(25:04):
I am picking Green Bay to cover, not confidently because
Green Bay have they won any games by seven points
this year? I honestly don't know, um, but I just
think coming off to buy the Baker magic will have
like a little like I want a route for Baker.
I just it's fine, it's fine. I want to I
(25:24):
want to separate. I want to I want to get
closer to that. Yeah, there you go. I'm giving you
a chance to get back in it. That's why I'm paying.
What do you what do you like? I'm also going
the Packers. I love Baker, but I think the fairy
tale the Packers are gonna have a whole week to
prepare against him, who we thought no team would have
to ever prepare against. Baker. Rogers said that his offseason
(25:45):
activities has allowed him has cured his his fear of death.
So like, this guy is just Yeah, his offseason activities.
You mean the funny teeth that he drank, that's cured.
What does he have to do with football? I'm just saying.
I'm just saying he's gonna step on that field. He
doesn't fear anything. No, I know what a wild SoundBite
(26:06):
to like, So, how are you feeling with taking on
the Rams? Well and no longer feared death. So I'm
gonna be okay. I don't want to botch us, but
I think he said he's like, once you've seen the
other side or something, you know. I don't know, you
see the other side. Oh my good lord, Baker d Rims. Okay,
(26:26):

Bills Dolphins because there's something that I want you to see. Greaver.
I don't know, but I might be able to change
your mind on your pick from this, So don't go anywhere.
(27:14):
He's the best. Okay. This has gone pretty viral as
literally everything that Mike McDaniel has ever done. Um, so
I want you to see this video. This is him
at practice vibing the heck out case God is like
sleeves rolled ups, got his pants rolled up. He's wearing
(27:34):
a shirt that says, I wish it were colderer. So
they're playing the Bills. Okay, it's gonna be perretty chilly
on the Willie. Uh you saw the warmups. You saw
Bills players like literally wearing like Canada goose jackets. Okay,
it's she's gonna be cold. Uh in Miami. These guys
are you know, coming from a Canadian that now lives
(27:56):
in a warm weather climate. It it's you. It's a
different Yeah, I'm so proud of it. I love living
in the warm. I'm never going back to the cold. No, no, no,
not for me. Uh. And now it's time for the
worst thing I saw. What rage? Do you think on Saturday?
Do you think McDaniel is gonna bundle up or you
think he's just gonna rock like a polo and just
(28:18):
like he's gonna wear like short sleeves, he's gonna wear
tank top that says I'm toasty, toasty as can be,
just ridiculous. But this leaves me to the worst thing
that I saw Graver. The Dolphins had heaters near their
bench at so By Stadium. This is on a whole
(28:40):
other level, okay. So Fi Stadium famously pretty indoors, Okay,
pretty toasty, okay, and they had to have their heaters
were the cold little l a webboo. They're screwed. If
this is what if this is what they're struggling with,
is a couple of gusts out here. Oh well, you
(29:03):
don't want the sand to roll in. It gets a
little chili at night in l A. And I wore
my part of the other day. Yeah, I've been wearing
big jackets and and you know what, They're gonna have
better heaters in Buffalo. I bet their whole benches will
be heated. They'll have those little poles that they stick
their helmets on that are heated. They'll be fine. Soup. Yeah,
(29:25):
but they're not playing football on the bench, are they.
They're not playing We're on the bench benched with Banetta.

pretty dangerous for tonight. They are when we thought they
were wet. Hello, you plenty to win the gate. They
want you to cook the dinner. At least they ought
to let your shop for some of the grocers. And
on the way up, we're gonna buy a kneecap off playoffs.
You're kidding me. I'm just here so I won't get Finally,
(00:26):
how could he not be romantic about football? Hello, everybody,
Welcome to the Bench with Vonetta podcast. I know what
you're thinking. Oh, she's at home again, not in studio. Well,
guess what I already worked today. Okay, I already showed
my face. We're on the NFL network campuses. I sold
(00:48):
some Lexus cars for the Saturday pre show. You can
check that out. They didn't, unfortunately, let me have a key. Um.
But I'm at home because there's there's pressing things on
the agenda this eve. Um, boys, I'd like for you
to come in here while I talk about this. I
got an invite your girl, RB got an invite to
(01:08):
a real Hollywood premiere. In fact, no, maybe sent me
there that maybe you've heard about Brad Pitt will be
in attendance. Margot Robbie will be in attendance. I am
going to the Babylon premiere and h Wood two nights,
so I have to you know, the glamor is glaming,
the hair is herring. That sounds weird. Um, but my
(01:30):
good friend mohun here just send the audacity to tell
me to talk to Margot Robbie for him. MO. I
gotta I gotta know if you were in the same
room as Margot Robs, would you actually go and say
hi to her? Because famously I don't like to talk
to the celebrities. I sat in the ted Lasso Little
(01:51):
Sweet during the London football games. I said nothing to
no one. I was stealthy. I was invisible. Okay, that's
how we prefer it. Um, would you say hi to
Margot Robs? I'm with you. I don't like forcing conversations
with celebrities, but she's on. She's on like a list
that I would Oh, I would say, would you say
(02:12):
my entire life? If I didn't say anything, no, I
wouldn't say that. I would. I would introduce myself and
you know, see, pretend ask who she was, who she was, Hi,
who are you like, hey, do you come here often?
Or something? I don't know, a jail. I don't want to.
(02:35):
I don't want a fanboy and be like, oh my god,
you're pretty, You're so great. So you would start your
relationship off with the most dishonest note possible. Let me
get this straight, just so we can clarify for the
people at home. You would go to a premiere of
a movie starring Margot Robbie and say Hi, I'm Mohan.
Who are you? Do you come here often? To what
(02:58):
movie premieres? I would say it like a lot. I
I don't know. I would need to. I'm better when
I just wing it. That's I can't. This can be
pretty Listen. I can confirm Moham's got game. Okay, I've
seen it in real life. I have no doubt that
you would impress Margot Robbie with your ways, Graver, are
you the kind of person if you know a celeb
is about you'll go and strike a conversation with him.
(03:20):
I completely shut down, Like if I see Brad Pitt
on the red carpet tonight, I'm walking in the opposite direction.
So I used to think that I was. I'm fairly
shy in general. I used to think that I would
never approach a celebrity, and then we went to the
Combine in Indie last February, and I mean not that
they're like celebrities celebrities, but seeing all the NFL head
coaches hanging out in the bar, I was like, this
(03:43):
is a once in a lifetime chance to go make
conversation with people that I admire. So yeah, I told
um Kevin Stefanski that he was number one in my
head coach hotness rankings. I told Mike McDaniel that everyone
was rooting for him, and he like screamed like a
crazy person when I told him that, And uh yeah
it was. It was fun. A little liquid courage I'm
(04:04):
sure helped lubercpe Um. Okay, well, anyways, that's why I'm
home because I get to go be a fancy person tonight.
And I'm so frenna. If you don't say, if you
don't say anything to Brad Pitt, we're not friends anymore.
What do I say? What do I work? Okay? Okay,
hold on, let's workshop this. He's a Saints fan, right,
he is a Saint. I'm gonna saying, hey, how about
(04:27):
your team. That's not good at all. I can't do that.
I can't do that. Like Saints fan, I think, tell
him is untied? What? And then what Moha? I don't know?
Then then that's initiating conversations half the battle. Absolutely not.
I'm never putting myself in a social situation with mohaunted.
(04:48):
There is a famous person about I cannot be I
cannot handle the stress situation. What happens when he looks
down and double days it's not untied? Hey, her Drew
use this is gonna He is thinking about coaching coaching
a college team that was announced today. Right, what do
you think about that? Brad? Now that's too dorky, that's
(05:10):
way too dorks. Okay, we're gonna Sean Payton's coming back
to the Saints next year, John Paynton coming back to
the scenes. What you better hope jogs? Your team sucks.
It's not gonna work. It's not gonna work. It all
leads back to the same place. Okay, we're gonna workshop
this a little bit as we get into this show. Oh,
by the way, before we get into the most ridiculous
segment that I have to talk about. Um, we were
(05:31):
talking about with Katie on Tuesday. Candy Kane Lane, which
is the thing that exists in Los Angeles. It's like
this whole row of houses that people just go all
out for. Somebody emailed me today that works at NFL
Network and he lives in Candy Kane Lane. He says, right, Rachel,
loving the podcast. I just finished listening to the Ladies
(05:52):
of Kyle. I'm living in Candy Cane Lane and we
fully knew what we were getting into. This is our
first year and traffic is a bit rough, but overall
it's been fun and the kids love it. He never
told me if it's it's if it's like, you know,
like a real estate situation that somebody has to like
if somebody died in the house, you have to let
them know. UM. I don't know if that was the case,
but Anthony, thank you for reporting back that it's not
(06:14):
that bad. Um. I think you should get money off
your house if you're living in a Candy Cane Lane.
To be honest, I think it's would probably be a nightmare.
But secretly I want to be a part of the community.
I think I'm just feeling left out. I think that
that's what it is. Okay, So that's our candy Cane
Lane report. Uh. Next thing's next. I don't know if
you guys saw this. It went viral this week. I'm
(06:35):
not gonna do any spoilers, but White Lotus is the
greatest television show on TV right now. And just if
you're not watching it, no, don't, don't nod your head
like that. It's maybe I'll maybe I'll like to White Lotus.
I got it, I got it. I got it, guys,
I got it. Brad, if you're not in White Lotus
season three, you may as well go k and coach
(06:58):
the things because they may need all that they There
you go, There you go, White Loadus season three starting
Brad Pitt. That would be saying, Okay, that's my opener.
If I run into Brad, that's my opener. There we go. Um. Okay,
So Mike White is the creator of this show, and
it was revealed this week it kind of like went
viral that he was on Survivor once upon a time,
(07:20):
and we don't often get to see famous people, if ever,
on Survivor. Um. I've already spoken about my Uh, I
want to do this show, and I think that I'd
be very good at it. And somebody, a listener of
the pod, actually reached out to me and said, hey,
I've been on Survivor before and I can contact you.
I can put you in contact with producers if you
(07:40):
really want. I don't know if that's something I'm gonna do,
but it might be on the list. Um. Okay. So
it really got me thinking, like if we were, by
the way when we first started this podcast, or like,
what do you want this podcast to be about? I
was like, I want it to just be like what's
in my brain and we'll spin it to be about football.
That's exactly what this segment is right now. Because all
(08:00):
I'm thinking about his Survivor and who would go on
it and who would I love to see on it?
And so we are doing Survivor NFL version. So I'm
gonna show you guys ten players that I think would
thrive or be terrible on Survivor, and you tell me
if you agree or disagree. Okay, First things first, here's
Team one. Got ten ten players. Here ten players and
(08:20):
coaches Team one Aaron Rodgers. Obviously he's gonna he's gonna
go into this thing thinking that he's gonna be like
one with the Woods. One with the beach, one with
the ocean. He's gonna be vibing out doing yoga. He's gonna,
you know, be out there catching fish with his bare hands.
First one voted off the island. He is out of there.
Nobody wants it, nobody has time for it. You're just
(08:44):
gonna see everybody rolling their eyes in their confessionals, and
you're just gonna see everybody go up with their little scrolls,
and it's just gonna say Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers, Rodgers,
He's first, He's first to go. I'm sorry his first.
As much as I would it's gonna be great content.
As much as I want hear about the conspiracy theories,
he's out done um Mike McDaniel obviously, who knows, who
(09:07):
knows what he is doing. I feel like he's going
to be the kind of guy that's like, you know,
the one person and survivor that UM has like a
truce with everybody, and he's just like, oh yeah, no,
I'm I'm totally on your side. I'm not talking to
those people. I'm talking to you like it's just me
and you, baby, It's just me and you. And then
you see it like literally five minutes later he's doing
that to the other person, like, I'm not talking to
those people. It's just me and you. I feel like
(09:30):
he's got a little um shadiness to him. Uh. He's
a schemer, exactly like McDaniel major Survivor scheme revibes. He's
going far, but his his is gonna be like the
most dramatic standoff because he will have been caught, people
will have started to talk. He cannot be trusted. He's
getting out of there. Kirk Cousins. I feel it could
(09:51):
be a dependable dad. He's going to know how to
do the fires. He's gonna know how to grill some
like weird. I don't know if you guys saw the
viral like stakes that he made a couple of months ago,
or maybe it was last They're disgusting. Just google kirk
cousin steaks. Okay, I'm not even a red red meat eater,
and I this is I would not I would never
go near this. It's disgusting. It looked like stones on
(10:12):
the barbecue. Um. So he's gonna make some mediocre food,
but he's going to make sure that the table is
set at the end of the day. Okay, he's the
dependable dad provider for the camp. The provider. Um, obviously
we need somebody that's gonna bring the drama. That's gonna
be Odell Beckham Jr. He is going to be causing shennanigans. Um.
(10:32):
He's gonna make it somewhat far because he's dedicated and
he's a hard worker and people do like him because
he is entertaining. But he is going to get in
the most fights. He's gonna be you know, he's gonna
be front row center. Um, and I very much would
like to see this. Here's who's going the furthest among
this group. George Kittle. George swimming in the ocean grabbing
(10:53):
a fish with his bare hand and biting its head off.
Far like George Kittle the show Oh We'll end Okay,
the million dollars has been awarded, and George kill is
still on this island because he's just really enjoyed it.
That's the that's the kind of vibe that I get
from George k Okay, So he's winning the mill. Five
more players that I think are going to do well
(11:13):
on the island. Pete Carroll. We always need like an older,
really in shape guy, that's just gonna like be everyone's
kind of caretaker. But really he's a little sneaky. He's
the guy everyone's like, wow, he's like I can't believe
I'm still here. Usually they vote the old person out first,
but like he's just kicking it somehow. He doesn't make
(11:35):
he doesn't win. But there are a bunch of people
that cry when he gets voted off. And I would
be one of those people, Like it would be the
kind of thing like you like to hold up the
scroll and you're like, I'm sorry to do this. Um,
you're a great man, but boom, Pete Carroll, you're out
of here. It's gonna it's gonna be a lot of
that Bill Belichick. Obviously, he's not even gonna get voted out.
(11:58):
He's going to leave. He is going to be the
one that's like, I'm out. I'm not doing this anymore
with a bunch of children. Okay, I'm out. He's going
to just have enough of it and in peace before
I'm thinking week two, he's out, Week two, week three.
I hope we get three weeks of Bill Belichick, but
I'm not pressing it past that. Um, Joe Burrow, I
(12:19):
think It's a really interesting one because I just really
wanted to get to know him. I want the confessionals.
I want to see what kind of guy he is. Um,
I know he's surviving a long time. I feel like
his social game would just be the best on the island.
Wouldn't though, because I don't know, he's so quiet and
he's so like thinking about that might turn people off. Yeah,
(12:39):
but he has so many locker rooms that he's gone
into and immediately won over. Like he transferred from Ohio
State to l s U as a senior and like
immediately won over the l s U locker room. Came
into Cincinnati as a rookie, immediately won over that locker
But I feel like people just gravitate towards him, so
he would do well. Yeah. I think that Joe bur
(13:00):
was the heart throb of the season. I feel like
he he enters the season with like, you know, maybe
like fifty Instagram followers. He leaves the season with over
a million, and he starts his own podcast and maybe
he goes on the Bachelor, Like that's the survivor season
that I think that Joe Burrow is going to have. Um, Okay,
last two Jamal Williams just for the sound bites alone.
He makes it. It's him and George Kittle at the end,
(13:22):
Jamal Williams and George Kittle, the dance moves, the soundbites,
the interviews. He's a superstar. He needs to be on
a reality show. I love watching him play football. He's
having an incredible season, so were the Lions. But I
cannot wait to see what this man does afterwards. And
I hope it is something in entertainment, some kind of
Big Brother survivor. Whatever you want to do, Jamal, We're
(13:43):
going to support you on this podcast. Um. And then
finally the last one, Aaron Donald. He's gonna pull a
tree out of the ground, split it in half and
build build your little house. Okay, you want Aaron Donald
on your team? First Survivor. I can also see him
going far. It's Aaron Donald, George Kittle and Jamal Williams
(14:06):
standing at the end. Pete Carroll's the fourth Pete Carroll's
the runner up. What do you guys think about my
Survivor casting? I love it. Aaron Donald would be such
a challenge beast, but he would be such like a
merge boot because everyone would be like as soon as
he loses an immunity challenge, we have to take the
chance to get rid of him. But he would never
lose an immunity challenge, and that's why he's in your
top three. That's a good point. I didn't even think,
(14:27):
to be honest, I was thinking more of like this, like, um,
kind of the gameplay behind the scenes, not even in
the challenges, because really that is kind of what it's
all about, is like you don't want to get voted out. Um. Also,
they're all NFL athletes, so they would all pretty be
pretty good. They're all going to do really well. I
think I think I think O'Dell will be the first
one voted off. You know, he's just gonna get in
(14:48):
a fight with like a tree. I think he's the
first one gone. Okay, that's a great question, graver. Who
do you think is the first one to get voted off?
And who do you think wins? I think Bill b
would be the first one off, like before he has
a chance to quit, he would get voted off because
he'd be like just trying to do things his own way,
not really like vibing with the group. And I think
(15:09):
Joe Burrows your winner he's just got so much charisma.
People like want to give him the million. At the end,
Bill Belichick lost in like the physical challenge was grumpy,
went back to the camp before everyone got there and
destroyed like ten through like the little rice bags, like
into the tree, like just had full tantrum breakdown. Mo,
(15:32):
who's winning and survivor here? I'm gonna go with Jamal Williams.
That's good. He does. He deserves it. He deserves the
one mill or whatever they're gonna I think Daniels, then
you think rage, I think he really Steamers, stay in, Steamers, Schemers,
(15:54):
stay scheming. I've heard you're not wrong. Okay, guys, that
is our fantasy survivor. Let us know who you think
would win, who you think would live? Who did we miss?
That was very fun to put together. By the way,
we should do more chaotic segments more often. Okay, coming
after the after the break, we're gonna talk actual football.
We are picking the games this weekend, um, and there's
(16:16):
some very good ones. Also. We got two days of football, baby,
we got Saturday and Sunday, so buckle at dun points.
We'll get tonight. All right, let's get to some football. Baby,
(16:41):
here are the standings. Okay, it's getting tight. It's getting close.
Rachel one, thank you, mohun and one I am on
your heels Mo Justin Fort and one kid Jookie. I'm
going um, I'm going pretty underdoggi today. So blackle up, baby,
(17:09):
first game on the list. I am so excited for
this game. This game is gonna be so much fun. Uh,
Miami Dolphins versus Buffalo Bills. We're gonna talk about this
game coming up in the best and the worst thing
that I saw, because there's things that I want to say.
I don't want to give too much away, but I
mean weather is like top of the top headlines for
this game. You've got a team. The last time these
(17:31):
two played very hot game. Now it's all in Buffalo's corner.
Buffalo's favored by seven. I am going Buffalo as a push.
I got twenty I'll go. I'll change it. I'll change it.
I'll go Buffalo minus seven thirty to twenty one for
the Dolphins. Uh. I'm feeling good about this. Miami lost
(17:51):
to the Chargers. This whole, like Herbert to a conversation,
is like very tiring and annoying. I'm over it. Um,
but I think Buffalo is just on such a run
right now. They're just taking to the playoffs. Give him
the week off. Done, Dun, dune, dune, dun. Just see
me in the super Bowl. I'm going Buffalo, What about you? Justin?
(18:12):
What do you like? I'm taking Miami to cover this
spread because they have been so bad two weeks in
a row that like, once that happens, you have to
look at yourself and make some kind of change. And
I feel like they're going to come out with a
just like a new fire to be good. And maybe
they don't win, but I think in the snow Josh
(18:32):
Allen's elbow, we're still not sure how healthy he is.
They're like signing old receivers that they used to have
on the team back on the team because they're desperate
for offensive production or something. Cold Beasley is back with
Buffalo now just weird vibes to me. So I'm gonna
take Miami plus seven, But I do think Buffalo will
will win the game. Didn't Cole Beasley fully retire this season,
(18:52):
Like It's not like he like dropped and like went
to another team. He retired. He come out of retirement
to sign that's wild. What are you like in this game?
I'm going Dolphins to cover, but Buffalo to win. I
think it's gonna be it's gonna be lower scoring, the
snow is gonna be there, But I think McDaniel's gonna
(19:13):
drop a good game plan. He's not gonna have three
bad games in a row. I wouldn't be surprised. I
wouldn't be surprised if Miami keeps this close. I also
wouldn't be surprised if it's a really weird game, as
the weather e games tend to be in that Miami
actually wins, which would be insane. But Rachel, you have
a chance to make up serious ground with this game.
Me and Mohan both pick in Miami. Okay, So I'm
(19:34):
going Buffalo minus seven. Okay the next game, also very
excited about. Jets are favored by one and a half
versus the Lions. I am going Lions twenty one. B
I think I've picked the lines every single game this season,
But like the Jets, I don't know what's going on,
and and like maybe Zach Wilson did more than what
we think he did, because it's getting a little bit weird.
(19:56):
Mike White was in, he got injured, he went out,
he came back, and he went out. Joe Flacka went in.
No Zack Wilson. Uh Saul is still saying like he's
not done with this team, but then they're not playing
him when they like kind of desperately need him. I
don't know. Something weird going on with the Jets. I'm
very all in on a Mike White Christmas. I would
love to see him back in there. I know he
(20:17):
got a little bit banged up. He's like ribs where
he looked like he was in rough shape. Um. I
hope he makes a quick recovery and and you know,
the fairy tale is back and alive. But you know
what fairy tale I love even more is the Lions.
Right now, they are having a blast. I I hope
they win the rest of their games. They are so
much fun. I'm cheering for them. I don't know what
the odds are for them to make another playoffs, but
(20:38):
good lord, that would be so fun. I am going
Detroit plus one and a half graver, What do you like?
I'm so confused by all this Mike White talk. We've
got Mike White, the creator of White Lotus and former
Survivor player. We got Mike White, the quarterback of the Jets.
I'm taking the Lions plus one and a half as well.
They're just too fun to root for. The offenses really
come alive, and the defense is getting better. I don't
(21:00):
understand what's happening with the Jets quarterback situation either. Why
Zack Wilson isn't even the backup because Joe Flacco is.
He just doesn't have it anymore. So yeah, give me
the Lions. I love. Last week on game debut, the
Lions were playing the Vikings and they won. Uh. And
one of my reasons for picking the Lions was just like,
they've got a really bad defense. And then I pulled
up the stat that Kirk Cousins is owen owen three
(21:23):
when facing like a bottom ten total defense or something like.
Bad defenses are just his kryptonite, and apparently they continue
to be. Um Mo, what do you like in this one?
That's a sweet for US three. I'm going the Lions
to UH. I think Zach Wilson's the second string now.
But even if Mike White gets hurt, his zero confidence
(21:46):
going in there, and I think the Lions keep rolling.
That is tough even if Zach Wilson does go in,
he's kind of got like a lot of pressure on
his shoulders, like his teammates like seemingly hate him and
are wearing like T shirts with Mike White's picture on them.
Like what was once the Jets were such a fun situation,
just like a mere couple of weeks ago, and now
(22:07):
it's like really weird vibes. Vibe check bad. Okay, also
very excited for this. We got the Bengals, who are
on a role right now, finally beating the Browns. They're
favored by three and a half over Tom Brady and
the Bucks. I am going Cincinnati and kind of like
confidently I'm going thirty one. I loved this this week
(22:31):
that um Joe Burrow was like, uh, I think he
was asked, are you gonna get anything from Tom Brady?
Are you gonna, like, you know, do a jersey swap
or autograph after the game, And he was like, no,
I'm not going to focus on the game. I'm gonna
play football. I kind of loved that. And then Tom
Brady was like great young quarterback, you know, gave him
some gave him some props. So I'm really excited for
(22:52):
this game, but I think that the Bengals win. I
think the Bengals are are doing their thing right now, Jesson,
I fully agree. I'll be surprised at the Bucks get
to twenty four. Their offense looks so hard to just
like even move the ball and get any first downs
at all. Four points seems high against surging Bengals defense.
So give me Cincinnati in like a comfortable win. You
(23:14):
might be right, But then there's always that like garbage
time stuff for Tom Brady, like as we saw on
Monday Night, football just like pulls out of his like
bum so he can never really trust anything when it
comes to the box. Right now, what are you like
in this one? Yeah, I'm going Bengals Big Joe Burrow Um.
He was asked about comparisons with Brady and he's like,
(23:34):
I'm Joe, He's Tom. I think Brady is like over it.
Last week when they lost the Niners, he signed a
ball that the corner gave him after the game. Like
Brady supposed to be this great competitor. Is he calling it? Like?
I'm not sure? I will say the Bengals receiving course
pretty banged up. Tee Higgins dealing with a hamstring. Tyler Boyd,
he's got a finger messed up. Heah, But I will
(23:58):
say they they won the game without Joe Mixon and
Jamaar Chase like a couple of weeks ago, So I'm
not even they find a way. They find a way exactly. Uh.
And finally, I mean, let's get to the game of
the week. Let's get to the game of the week. Boys.
We got the Rams who are a seven point underdog
(24:18):
against the Packers. And and credit where credit is due.
Our guy, the official guy of the podcast, Baker Mayfield
NFC Offensive Player of the Week, NPCY Offensive Player of
the Week. He got there on Tuesday, he showed up
on Thursday. Oh I love that line. I'm gonna write
that down. Uh, going Rams just because it's fun, just
(24:42):
because it's fun. I'm going Rams and twenty four. I
don't care. I don't care. This is for funzies, this
is for RB Okay. I want to see Baker Mayfield
shine Packers. I don't know they've been there coming off
there by right. Um. I think they look a little rusty. Baker.
On the other hand, the opposite, graaper, what do you like?
(25:04):
I am picking Green Bay to cover, not confidently because
Green Bay have they won any games by seven points
this year? I honestly don't know, um, but I just
think coming off to buy the Baker magic will have
like a little like I want a route for Baker.
I just it's fine, it's fine. I want to I
(25:24):
want to separate. I want to I want to get
closer to that. Yeah, there you go. I'm giving you
a chance to get back in it. That's why I'm paying.
What do you what do you like? I'm also going
the Packers. I love Baker, but I think the fairy
tale the Packers are gonna have a whole week to
prepare against him, who we thought no team would have
to ever prepare against. Baker. Rogers said that his offseason
(25:45):
activities has allowed him has cured his his fear of death.
So like, this guy is just Yeah, his offseason activities.
You mean the funny teeth that he drank, that's cured.
What does he have to do with football? I'm just saying.
I'm just saying he's gonna step on that field. He
doesn't fear anything. No, I know what a wild SoundBite
(26:06):
to like, So, how are you feeling with taking on
the Rams? Well and no longer feared death. So I'm
gonna be okay. I don't want to botch us, but
I think he said he's like, once you've seen the
other side or something, you know. I don't know, you
see the other side. Oh my good lord, Baker d Rims. Okay,

different Yeah, I'm so proud of it. I love living
in the warm. I'm never going back to the cold. No, no, no,
not for me. Uh. And now it's time for the
worst thing I saw. What rage? Do you think on Saturday?
Do you think McDaniel is gonna bundle up or you
think he's just gonna rock like a polo and just
(28:18):
like he's gonna wear like short sleeves, he's gonna wear
tank top that says I'm toasty, toasty as can be,
just ridiculous. But this leaves me to the worst thing
that I saw Graver. The Dolphins had heaters near their
bench at so By Stadium. This is on a whole
(28:40):
other level, okay. So Fi Stadium famously pretty indoors, Okay,
pretty toasty, okay, and they had to have their heaters
were the cold little l a webboo. They're screwed. If
this is what if this is what they're struggling with,
is a couple of gusts out here. Oh well, you

don't want the sand to roll in. It gets a
little chili at night in l A. And I wore
my part of the other day. Yeah, I've been wearing
big jackets and and you know what, They're gonna have
better heaters in Buffalo. I bet their whole benches will
be heated. They'll have those little poles that they stick
their helmets on that are heated. They'll be fine. Soup. Yeah,
