(05:32):
Coming up this morning, we're gonnahave some Brett Michael's tickets doing five four
three, two months. We're upto second row. We've got tickets for
the Commander's Giants game this weekend andthe big word of the week another letter
coming your way in the seven o'clockhours, seven point thirty, and we're
getting close to finishing up that wordand up for grabs Kiss tickets. I

(05:53):
did read an article this morning,Gene Simmons. He said, and I
quote hand on the Bible, thisis our last tour. He swears up
and down this is it. They'renot going to do it again. So
he said, Kiss will live on, but they are done playing live.
He did say Doune Plane live inmakeup, which he leaves that little bit.
Yeah. Right. Everything that hesays is there's there's more to it,

(06:16):
right right, all right. Sowe got to take care of some
business here, but we'll be backto it just a few says. I
tried to jump ahead. I wasgonna say it's seven thirteen, six thirteen,
It's six thirteen. Good morning.This is Big Rock Mornings with Jackson
on Big one hundred Washington's Classic Rocket, It's Many Crue and Home Sweet Home,

(06:42):
It's Big Rock. Morning's Jackson.Here's six twenty eight Good morning.
Thanksgiving will cost you six dollars andtwelve cents per person this year. Here's
the good news. That's down fourpoint five percent from last year. Here's
the bad news. Still second higheston record. You know, it was
the inflation report that came out yesterdayor was it Tuesday? Anyway, in

(07:06):
the last twenty four to forty eighthours. Well, we're starting to see
stuff come down. There's still aproblem with food, which I bitched about
last week where it's like I finallystarted paying attention to how much things were
costing me and was like, whatthe hell is going on here? But
stuff is coming down. They dothis every year. They average out what

(07:28):
it's going to cost you to haveThanksgiving again, down four point five percent
from last year to six dollars andtwelve cents per person, but again making
it the second most expensive Thanksgiving ever. Won't cost you that much if you
just serve those de Jorno pizzas withthe Thanksgiving dinner on top of it,
would those things are probably twenty bucksa pop? None, Yeah, eleven

(07:53):
twenty three because they did it basedon Yeah, but they're probably like personal
sized. I was to buy oneof those and they didn't do it yet,
so you're still looking at prices thatare about twenty five percent higher than
pre pandemic. The Midwest is themost affordable. They're going to average about
five dollars and eighty seven cents aperson. The Northeast the most expensive at

(08:18):
six dollars and forty four cents.And if you go back, Wow,
they based this, by the way, on like twelve Thanksgiving staples like sweet
potatoes, not mashed potatoes. Theyuse sweet potatoes, you know, turkey,
all the different foods you would seeThanksgiving in nineteen eighty six two dollars

(08:41):
and eighty seven cents a person,but if you adjust that for inflation,
they said that's over eight bucks today. So turkey obviously the most expensive item
every year at just over twenty sevenbucks for a sixteen pounder. And Charlie

(09:03):
Brown Thanksgiving as we creep up onThanksgiving here is back in twenty twenty,
but ever since Apple acquired the rightsto the show, there was basically only
one way to watch it, andthat's Apple TV. But good news this
year Apple TV on Saturday and Sundayare going to play it for free even

(09:24):
if you're not a subscriber, Soyou can pull up Apple TV watch it
on Saturday and Sunday if you're intothe tradition that Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, and
you know, for years and yearsit aired on ABC, could always see
it on ABC. But then Appleacquired the rights to the entire Peanuts catalog
back in twenty twenty. And Iguess they're deciding to be nice this year.

(09:50):
They did that last year too,didn't they Then they did it three
for two days? Yeah, Ithink so. Possibly. Anyway, you
can watch it for free Saturday andSunday. The eighteenth and nine nineteenth seven
day trial, of course, isalso available. If you want to watch
it on Thanksgiving, you can getthe Apple TV trial and then just cancel
it. My wife does that,like crazy, dude. She's good because

(10:13):
she remembers to cancel things I don't. She goes through all the different subscription
services because she's like, I reallywant to watch this show. She'll sign
up for the three day trial,watch it all the way through, and
cancel. She'll sign up for Applefor seven days, watch it all the
way through and cancel. I'm like, she's good. My HBO Max for
two years before I remember that.I drunkenly subscribed to it one night for

(10:33):
something and yeah, there we go. Yeah, I forget it's yeah,
it's gone. I keep hearing thecommercials for that. Is it Rocket Money?
Is that the one? I think? I say you, if you've
used that, tell me if it'sworth a crap one eight hundred and four
nine three one double three, becauseI keep hearing the commercials for it,
and gun, I need to dosomething like that, like get an app
or get something that pulls all yoursubscriptions. But I think I'm going to

(10:56):
go into cardiac arrest when I seeit. I've probably got fifteen things out
there that I'm paying for it don'teven use or realize I have anymore.
I had a membership at sky Zonefor like three years. Yeah right,
this is crazy, man. Ijust noticed it one day on my credit
card and so I called them.I'm like, what is this? Well,
you have a subscription like sky Zoneis an indoor trampolone park that I

(11:20):
went to once like three years ago. I finally canceled the completely spaced I
had it and it was like ninetybucks a month a yoga membership at this
yoga place I used to go toby my house, and I did go
there for years, and then Ijust kind of fell off and quick go
on and forgot that I was ona like recurrent payment, and I just

(11:41):
canceled that like last week. AndI looked and I was like, wow,

my world is DC, although itcould quite possibly be the best in the
world. You never know what's thename of the place. I don't remember
what the name is. You're helpingus. Well, when you go through
the holiday market, like when youstart on Tenth Street and you walk all

It's time for things. I know. He did you know? I
love this stuff, man. Ninetynine percent of it I learned this morning.
Lol. Started back in the nineteeneighties, a Canadian teenager named Wayne

(17:15):
Pearson used it on a bulletin boardsystem, one of the earliest forms of
an Internet chat room, and afriend of his said something funny. Instead
of trying to type out really quicklythat made me laugh out loud, he
just typed lol. The friend andothers asked what he meant, and he
said, means laugh out loud,and it caught on like fire and spread

(17:41):
throughout that forum and then eventually everywhere. Elton John's real name is Reginald Kenneth
Dwight. When he changed his nameto Elton Johnny even gave himself a new
middle name. Do you know whatit is? Hercules Elton Hercules John.
If you are driving sixty miles perhour and you sneeze with your you know

(18:04):
how when you sneeze, your eyesautomatically closed. Yeah. If you're driving
sixty miles an hour down the roadand you sneeze, your eyes are closed
for fifty feet, you loose sideof the road for fifty feet. Finally,
on Gilligan's Island, actually I mighthave one more after this, because
I found this one interesting too.But on Gilligan's Island it was never clear

(18:26):
if Gilligan was his first name orhis last name, because through every single
episode and season he was simply referredto as Gilligan. And finally, Mexico's
real name is not Mexico. Idid learn this this morning. It is
the United States of Mexico. Reallyestados oneiros mehiconne's. The country is divided

(18:52):
into thirty one states plus the federalDistrict. Each state has its own laws,
regulation and police, very similar toAmerica. And it depends on who
you ask. It's I don't knowif they call it the United States of
Mexico, I think, and ifyou do the translation correctly, it's United
Mexican States. Now different languages putthere. Yeah, but yeah, United

(19:18):
States and Mexico. That blew meaway. I get out of here.
That's freaking cool. I like itall right. We are at six fifty
seven, coming up after seven o'clockthis morning. Gonna give you a chance
to win tickets for the Commanders Giantsgame this weekend. Big Word of the
Week seven thirty New letter for kisstickets that will give away tomorrow. Dennis
Glasgow is Sports on Tap. Alittle bit later, Tim Murray from The

(19:41):
Big Wager on the show just aftereight. It's Big one hundred. This
is Big Rock Morning with Jackson onWashington's Classic Rock, Big one hundred,
Washington's Classic Rockets, Big one hundred, burning down the house, talking heads.
It's seven twelve. Good morning.We've got to tell you a big

(20:04):
word of the weekend. A newletter coming your way at seven thirty this
morning. That will be one lettercloser to the word, which will be
complete tomorrow. Although you probably figureit out. You'll probably figure it out
now I'm looking at it here,but we'll get a winter tomorrow morning.
That's going to be tickets to seeKiss at the end of this month in

(20:26):
Baltimore. Jean Simmons swears up anddown this time quote he said, hand
on the Bible. We're done touring. He says, they're done performing,
but the brand will live on,and he says they'll have a traveling live
show of impersonators in the works.See this is what I said like months
ago, that they can continue onwith somebody else in the makeup. I

(20:48):
mean they've done of course, yeah, yeah, well with Peter Chris,
and why not do it with Geneand Paul and just let that band live
on forever. They can do that. So they they plan to have a
traveling show of impersonators. They're alsoworking on a cartoon show. They're working
on a Kiss Cruise, a Kissmovie, Gojeene and Kiss Meets the Phantom

(21:12):
of the Park, and a KissMuseum. And he says December second will
be the final performance by Kiss inmakeup. So if we give you tickets
to see him on the twenty ninth, will you will see one of their
final shows if he sticks to itthis time, he just said it's the

(21:33):
end of the band, but it'snot the end of the brand. He
said Kiss will continue. There's aKiss Museum in Vegas. He says,
we've got the cruises, the movie, the cartoon show, and a lot
of stuff coming out. He said, we plan to make some fun toys
and games that will continue. Andhe said he talked about the the traveling

(21:56):
show and he said you'll be ableto see us in Japan with Japanese actors.
So it sounds what they're gonna dois they're just gonna put impersonators in
makeup, and depending on where theshow is, they'll use local impersonators.
So he gives an example of likeif you're in Japan, you'll see Japanese
actors pretending to be us, andhe says, and at the same time,

(22:21):
you could see us in New Yorkor London. So we'll see what
they've got planned. But I knowGene Simmons likes money. He's put the
Kiss brand and the Kiss name onjust about everything you can imagine. So
does he consider Tommy and Eric impersonators? I wouldn't consider them impersonators definition,

(22:45):
right, But when you when youyou know, have four Japanese guys in
makeup, that's yeah, that's impersonators. That's like you know, when Paul
and Jean are still fronting the band. You know, the other guys are
just replacements. You know, it'snot the original Kiss, but it's still
Kiss. Four Japanese guys on astage in Tokyo are not Kiss, they're
impersonators, right. But he's gonnahe's gonna continue to make the money,

(23:12):
continue to make the money. Wehave some tickets to give away for the
Commander's Giants. That game is comingup this weekend home game. As of
yesterday afternoon, Commanders were favored byten. Well, uh, we'll chat
with Tim Murray coming up just aftereight o'clock this morning and see if that
has changed it all. But Iwant to give away a pair of tickets

(23:34):
here, and I think we're gonnado World's Easiest Trivia again, just because
I'm I'm convinced that one day somebody'sactually going to fail at World's Easiest Trivia.
We actually had a guy last week. He's like, look, you
cannot get this wrong. You justbasically got to get get through on the
phone lines one and four nine threeone double the three. But it was

(23:56):
last Friday, and I was like, what's today and he's like, uh,
oh, Friday. Like, holycrap, he's gonna miss it.
He's totally lost track of the days. So we'll take the first caller through
at one eight hundred four nine threeone double three, we'll do World's Easiest
Trivia, and we'll set you upwith tickets for game this weekend. Again

(24:18):
that the Commanders are favored to winby ten. But as you know,
it's been a bit of a rollercoaster this season. All right, best
of luck. It is seven seventeenBig one hundred, Good Morning, Washington's
Classic Rock Big one hundred World's EasiestTrivia Tickets for the Commander's Giants game coming

(25:33):
Washington's Classic rock It's Big one hundred. We'll have some more of those
tickets to give away tomorrow morning.Chili Peppers. Now it's under the bridge.
Washington's Classic Rockets, Big one hundred, Red hot Chili Peppers is under
the bridge seven thirty four and goodmorning, Wow. Everybody started the Christmas

(25:55):
stuff. I don't. I'm nevergoing to understand the radio stations playing Christmas
music. The Christmas tree is poppingup, all this stuff pre Thanksgiving.
I'm just under the firm belief thatthings should not black. Priday's fine day
after Thanksgiving you can throw all theChristmas stuff up. Every radio station round

(26:15):
can start playing Christmas music. Itjust seems premature to do it pre Thanksgiving.
That's just how capitalism works. Theeconomy is changed from where it was
twenty thirty years ago. Well ithas to like it won't. It won't
work otherwise. And December twenty sixthyou'll start seeing, you know, Easter
baskets and peeps in the stores.Actually, before that you'll see the Valentine's

(26:36):
Day stuff that goes up pretty quicktoo. Post Christmas. There is on
the Christmas song front. I wantto play you some bits and pieces of
a song that came out. Thisis a real song. This is not
made up. This is not aparody. It's a real Christmas song that
came out in nineteen seventy five.It's by Linda Bennett, and it's called

(27:00):
an old fashioned Christmas Daddy's Home,right, it seems like a nice song.
Christmas song seems like God. Wellhere, let's just listen to the
first part. Go ahead, becausethe bus jakes each night. He's always
that home time. He's gorner ofevery very Christmas. It's very wholesome.

(27:26):
Uh. Oh, we're sorry tointerrupt this program, but a bulletin has
just been handed me. There's beena serious accident involving the number five bus
out of new Haven. The onlyinformation we have is zeppa bus skitted on
a patch of ice and slammed intoa tree. Stay tuned at the station
more further the tables. That's itan odd thing to pop it into the

(27:48):
middle of a wholesome Christmas song.That's uh. She was thinking about what
a great Christmas is gonna be andthen there's a bulletin on a bus that
crashed. Let's keep less in here, Mommy, isn't that the bus daddy
rise each night? Oh? MyGod, with your mind and ese my

(28:11):
children, everything's a Christmas ladies andgentlemen, just been handled. The latest
report involving bus number five out ofnew Haven and from all indications with songs,
A report that there were no survivors. What what this is like the

(28:36):
war of the world? The buscrashed, she said, gets all right,
you still gi me a merry Christmas? And another bulletin that comes over,
which keeps interrupting her song, saidthat there are no survivors does not
seem like a very merry Christmas?Does It does not not seem like an

(28:59):
old fashioned crit Smith's Daddy's home soundslike Daddy's dead. Listen to the rest
here. Oh my god, thisjust can't happen. Am I to do?
What have I got left in lifeto look forward to? Walk me

(29:21):
down out on my wedding day?Dad? Who's gone? Go by mechaus
and take me out to play boy? What doorbells? Merry Christmas? Everybody
know it's late. I missed mybus. Well, don't just stand there,

(29:44):
help me with these presents. It'sGod, Christmas beautiful. Oh my
children that daddy daddy all right,So it's gotta be a very merry Christmas

(30:08):
for them because Daddy missed the bus. But you know, screw the other
people that all died. God,I'm here. I have a question.
Why do you ring the door.Why is he ringing his own doorbell?
That was my question, Like you, here's doorbell if dad rings the doorbell?

(30:30):
Now real, that's a real song. That is not a joke.
That is a real song. Youcan find it nineteen seventy five by Linda
Bennett. I'm having that right tomy playlist and let me see if I
can. I want to make surethat I saw this correctly. Yeah,
Perry Como worked on that song.No lie, I'm looking at a picture

(30:52):
of a forty five of that song. An old Fashioned Christmas Daddy's Home by
Linda Bennett, arranged by Perry Como. That's real. Well, Daddy made
it home. A bunch of people, a bunch of people died of scro
It's merry Christmas in our house,scroom. All right, seven, we

(31:38):
what this word is gonna be.Well, maybe not. There's a couple
there's a couple of ways this couldgo. But we'll give you the final
letter tomorrow at seven thirty. You'llhave the word. Know the word one
and three one double three tomorrow morning, not now, call in, give
us the word and we'll set youup tickets for Kiss on the twenty ninth
in Baltimore. And if you believeGene Simmons, that will be one of

(32:00):
the last, like two or threeshows that they ever play in makeum Yeah,

of believe him this time. It'llbe your last chance to see Kiss.
Basically what it looks like, it'sgonna be Sonny in sixty seven Today,
it's seven forty one, Good morning, Big one hundred, Washington's Classic Rock.
It's a big one hundred fire.This is Jimmy Hendricks. It's Big

(32:23):
Rock Mornings. Jackson here and goodmorning to you. Seven fifty three.
It's forty two in the District,thirty nine in Rockville, Highest sixty seven,
Sonny guys, Today it's gonna bea gorgeous day, beautiful. It's
a perfect time to go out andwalk barefoot. I listened to some interview
last night and it was some healthguru talking about the benefits of grounding.

(32:45):
Grounding, Yeah, basically walking barefooton the ground, you know, the
whole thing where it's uh it doessomething to your body, it you know
whatever. Yeah, But then Ithought about it and I'm like, I
do enjoy walking bear foot when it'snice out, it's nice. But they've
taken it a step two for it. They've did Now they're selling those like

(33:07):
mats that you can put on yourbed that you plug in and they ground
you. Have you seen that?No? No? Yeah, oh yeah.
There is some science behind the wholegrounding thing, Like they've done test
on the human body. And Idon't know enough about it to speak on
it, but they've done test onthe human body, you know, before
and after putting bare feet on theearth, and they can see the difference

(33:30):
in your in your body in theIt does something right, does something?
Yeah, look, man, youdon't have to buy it. Huh.
But when I'm like, you know, one hundred and twelve and I'm still
doing the show and you died atfifty, you know, I'm like,
dude, the guy who has aponytail, I'm probably I'm like, I

(33:51):
don't know, crash man, hejust for he would never ground. He
would never go out to that andground himself. He's dead. I don't
know. Violence broke out last nightoutside the DNC. I don't know if
you saw that, but there werelike six Capitol police injured, everything reminer
cuts to being pepper sprayed to beingpunched. Aren't the police usually the one

(34:14):
that dude the pepper sprain not gettingpepper sprayed. I don't know. And
it's done all right that we talkedabout it yesterday at the end of the
threat of a government shutdown at leastuntil after the holidays, Congress gave final
approval yesterday. Senate voted eighty sevento eleven. And then this one kind

(34:35):
of has me because my kid isfourteen, and I just it's just hard
for me to imagine. But didyou see yesterday rounded up a bunch of
teenagers in Montcomer County for carjackings.Yeah, it's a big sting. And
they arrested like thirteen of them,fourteen of them anyway, they were all
between the ages of like fourteen andeighteen. Yeah, and this has been
a big thing for the past coupleof years. But their kids, Yeah,

(34:57):
And I'm like, cause the firstthing I think think of. It's
like, that's my son's age.And I'm like, and I try to
imagine him out like, you know, brandishing a weapon, carjacking somebody,
and I'm like, oh my god, what are these kids? Come on,
man, don't throw your lives away. Don't throw your lives away.
That's crazy to me. But yeah, I guess the upside to that is,
you know, you get arrested atfourteen, maybe you get a second

(35:21):
chance there, you do some timein juvie and who knows, maybe not
smart, not a smart move.We have Timburray, Big Wager, host
of The Big Wager. He isgoing to chat with us just after eight
o'clock this morning. Florida Man iscoming up at about eight thirty and Dennis
Glasgow Sports coming up at about eightpoint fifty this morning. How beut Dennis

(35:45):
is grounded? I bet he ismany times. Yeah, that's why he's
so healthy. Look, man,you don't have to poop poo on everything.
You don't know. I'm gonna lookit up. I'm gonna I'm gonna
find the science behind grounding and I'mgonna show you it has something to do
with well, I'll look it up, Okay, I'm gonna find it for
you. Huh. It's probably reallygood for you, probably probably help huh.

(36:09):
I mean it's lovely to do it. And I started doing it when
I was in like my you know, twenties. I'd probably still have hair.
It's very possible. All right,we gotta take a quick break.
Here it is seven fifty seven.You're listening to Big one hundred, Good
Morning, Washington's Classic Rockets, Bigone hundred Crazy Train from Ozzie Big Rock

(36:30):
Morning's Jackson Here eight oh nine andgood morning to you. On the line,
we have Tim Murray, host ofThe Big Wager, Big Wager of
Courses on Commanders Game Days, onehour prior to the official pregame show.
Tim is also the co host ofPrimetime with Tim Murray and Sean King Monday
through Friday, six to nine pmon eleven ninety iHeart Sports, d C.

(36:51):
Tim. How are you, buddy? What's up? Brother? How
are you? Pretty good? Prettygood? I gotta tell you, I
you know, I talked to youa couple maybe the was last week when
I told you I won my practicebets. Uh, and then I bet
and tell me if I'm if I'msaying this right? I bet the money
line, which I just did astraight bet on the Commander's Seahawks game.
Right, that would just be themoney line. Who wins wins? Right?

(37:14):
And uh yeah I lost, althoughup until the last minute I thought
I won and then the painful truthsstuck me in the head. Why you
got to take the points they covered? That's what I was going to ask
you. So what was the thatwould be considered the over under? Right?

(37:35):
Or not the overunder? Okay,just the spread? So what was
the spread on that game? Six? Six? So they did cover and
I would have won. Well,I'm slowly but surely learning. How about
this weekend? I know that thespread this weekend is six points against the
Giants? Is that right? Yeah? There are ten point favorite. Actually,

(38:00):
it's come down a little bit,so they were a ten point favorite.
Now they're down to like a ninenine and a half point favorite.
It's the Giants, so that meansas long as they even if they lose,
if they don't lose by nine anda half, you still win your
bet. No, Washington is thefavorite, so they were In order to
win your bet with Washington this week, you would have they would have to

(38:22):
win by ten or more in orderto win your bet. Right now,
if you went money line, obviouslyyou'd have to what's called pay a lot
more juice. So you'd have topay like, you know, minus four
fifty, which is not something Iwould ever advise, But that would be
putting down forty five dollars to winten. Okay, so it's a big,

(38:44):
big risk obviously. So let meask you a question. Then,
do you ever like bet against oneof your teams just thinking that even if
the you know, if the otherteam wins, they're not going to cover
that spread. Oh yeah, allthe time. You know, gambling has
no Gambling has no emotions. Andthere is something called the happiness hedge where

(39:07):
you bet against your team. Ifyour team wins and covers, then you're
happy because your team won and covered. If your team loses, it helps
alleviate the pain a little bit morebecause you just want some money. And
then sometimes like on Sunday for instance, the happiness hedge could come into effect
where let's say you said, I'mgoing to take the Giants plus nine and

(39:31):
a half the Commanders win by seven. Well, guess what, you just
had your favorite team win a footballgame, So you're happy and you won
your bet, so you're double happy. So the old happiness hedge is a
very popular terminology in the gambling world, especially if you still do have a

(39:51):
fandom out there right right, SoI guess I have experience with the happiness
hedge when it comes to like fantasyfootball. Giving example, I think last
year I had Dak Prescott. Ithink it was Dak. It was somebody
on Dallas and I just hate theCowboys, like despise the Cowboys, but
whenever he'd scored me a lot ofpoints, I was sure happy. It

(40:14):
didn't didn't matter the Dallas a game. Fantasy football has gotten a lot of
people prepared for for gambling on multitudeof fronts, whether it be you know,
betting on prop bets, you knowover under on you know, sam
how passing yards, or whatever itmay be. And it's it's numbed us
a little bit too fandom where youknow, we are more often than not,

(40:38):
not all the time, but alot of the time we're cheering for
our fantasy team. So it hashelped maybe change our eyes towards I don't
like the Cowboys or the Eagles,but if they helped me win my fantasy
game or now, if they helpedme win my bet, I'm okay with
them. So yeah, no,it is. It is funny how the

(41:00):
lines get blurred and have been startingto get blurred with our you know,
as we grew up with just blindhatred to all our rivals. But hey,
if they can make us money,yeah then but I mean, I'll
give you an instance. You know, I'm a big Notre Dame fan,
so USC just boils my blood.And I bet on USC twice this year

(41:22):
and I lost both bets. SoI even hate them more because they lost
me money. And you know they'restill USC. All right. Well,
I'll tell you the cool thing aboutAnd it's all over the place now right
Like fantasy football is huge, bettingon games is huge. Uh. You
know a lot of these these companiesare huge sponsors of the games and the

(41:42):
sport. Now. But I willtell you the one cool thing about it.
Even if you're not somebody who likesto gamble, it really enhances the
game. You get into it alot more when you got when you got
a little skin in the game,You know what I mean. When you
whether you're playing fantasy or whether you'rebetting on a game you're really watching like
every little detail, every little thing, and you're flipping around the channels,

(42:04):
and I think it has enhanced thepleasure of watching the game. Yeah,
I think there's no doubt. Imean, and I think a lot of
people and I give a lot ofcredit to you know, Scott Van Pelt
on ESPN for his Bad Beat segment, which if people haven't seen before,
he does every Monday, you know, recapping games. And you know what
what's deemed a bad beat a latetouchdown, late field goal, whatever it

(42:27):
may be, that affects the pointspread or the total. And it does
make I think people a little bitmore curious about, you know, a
late touchdown, a late basket incollege basketball that happens like how how does
that affect the point spread? Andit is such a fascinating, you know
way that you know, I've beenlooking at the sport for you know,

(42:52):
a long time, but now yourcasual person is starting to recognize it more.
As you alluded to with you know, with the legalization of gambling.
So many states obviously Maryland, Virginia, d C All have legalized sports gambling.
Now it does it opens up youreyes, you know, the curiosity.
And you know, you talked aboutthe money line with Washington last week,
where you know, Washington this yearhas road losses. You know,

(43:15):
certainly a handful of them, losingthe Seattle, losing the Philadelphia, losing
the New York. But the interestingthing about Washington is they've actually been making
folks some money. They're five andl against the spread as a road underdog
this year. They were the favoritein New York. So that's why that
one doesn't count towards that record.But you know that that's that's the interesting

(43:36):
thing. You know, the pointspread the great equalizer, and I think
you know now when you see alate touchdown, people are always curious,
what did that do the point spread? Is that a bad beat? So
yeah, it's it's it's opening upthe eyes. That's certainly a lot of
people. So what do you haveyour eyes on for this weekend? What
should we be be looking at?Yeah, it is, Uh, it's
an interesting weekend because there's you know, you know, a lot a lot

(44:00):
going on right the news coming outon Wednesday that Deshaun Watson is out for
the year for Cleveland h So thatpoint spread has gone down, so they're
on the they're hosting Pittsburgh. Youknow, you look at you know,
the Washington Commanders obviously laying you know, nine, nine and a half points.
You've got a bunch of double digitfavorites. So you know, for

(44:20):
me, I kind of you know, I wonder how Buffalo is going to
bounce back in this particular spot,you know, coming off of a game
where they lose on on Monday Nightfootball, you know, against the Denver
Broncos, and then they fire theiroffensive coordinator and yet there's still a seven
point favorite. So I think Buffalois intriguing to me. I'm looking at
them, you know, are theyAre they going to bounce back after what

(44:45):
has been a really disappointing performance?Is it? Is it a bi lo
spot on the Bills when they playthe Jets, a team that certainly has
struggled mightily offensively, And then youknow, the biggest game of the weekend,
no doubt, is on Monday Night, I mean Kansas City Philadelphia,
a rematch of the Super Bowl.Kansas City is a two and a half
point favorite. This Philadelphia exact theirrevenge as they go to Kansas City on

(45:09):
Monday Night as as an underdog.They're both the team's coming off of bye,
so there's no rest advantage for eitherteam there, right right, Well,
I'm I'm gonna try again this weekend. I think I'm gonna have a
bet on. Yeah, I'm gettingback on the horse. I'm not gonna
let it discourage me because I feellike, you know, that one went

(45:30):
right down to the wire and couldhave gone either way. So I'll be
back on the horse this weekend.The Philadelphia Kansas City game scares me a
little bit because I couldn't I couldn'ttell you it's gonna win that game.
But I like, you know,maybe God, I hate saying it,
but taking that that Commander's game andplacing something down on the Giants nine points,

(45:52):
nine and a half points a lotof points, I like it,
but I don't know, but itkind of hurts me inside to say that.
Well, you know, there's alwaysthe beauty of what's called middle and
for the happiness heade. If theGiants or if the Commanders win by you
know, one to eight points,you win your bet and you're happy because

(46:14):
the Commander's just got to win goinginto Thanksgiving against the Cowboys and they're sitting
at with with a five and sixrecord heading into the Thanks Siven Day against
the Cowboy. Yeah, yeah,absolutely, well, Tim, I appreciate
it as always. Man. Bestof luck with whatever you got going on
this weekend. Thanks as always forthe words of wisdom, and I'll keep

(46:35):

(47:47):
A Florida man killed and dismembered hisroommate. Wow, we are Wow,
We've gone beyond Dyes. This guykilled and dismembered his roommate and he said
it was because he was possibly thenext mass killer. Florida man said he

(48:12):
shot and killed his roommate because ofa fear that his roommate was the next
mass killer we were going to hearabout in the media. So he did
a good thing, so he says, and he said he feared for himself
as well as others after shooting theman. He is now facing charges including

(48:36):
premeditated murder and abuse of a body. The body was discovered by hunters last
month, so apparently he dismembered anddisposed of the body. Not that is
I don't think I've heard that onebefore that as an excuse. Well,

(48:57):
I saved all of you. Ikilled he was gonna be the next mass
killer. You're welcome. That's Floridaman for a Thursday. I think I'm
gonna go back to people taking toomany drugs and running from the cops.
Steer clear of the murder and dismembermentstories. It is eight thirty two.

(49:19):
It's big one hundre Good morning,Washington's classic rocket. It's big one hundred
space oddity. David Bowie gonna beRob on the show tomorrow. How about
that. It's all highway of hitsof guests that you guys have gotten on
Fridays with the commanders and all yourregulars. But I'm glad you're talking to

(49:39):
him because I've been waiting for leadingreceivers. No kidding, Well, those
two catches is a running back.But I was waiting for him to break
out. Yeah, he was astart Alabama, and he's been okay with
us so far. You've seen flashesof brilliance, I think, and when
he gets ahead of steam, he'sunstoppable. Oh yeah, but I think

(50:00):
the last several games he's taking upanother notch, which I really didn't realize
he was that good of a receiver. And he's catching the ball of the
backfield down the sidelines. But hehe's running with a little bit more authority
now too, and maybe the lion'sopening up a few more holes for him
too. He runs angry, hedoes it. I like that. He's
hard to bring down well once hegets going. Man, he's a big

(50:21):
man. Yeah, he's a bigman. He's not Americ Henry size,
but he's close. Yeah, he'sgonna be on the show tomorrow. That's
a good get. It's kind oflike a good guess. It's gonna be
uh hey, careful now. WhileI was thinking about me, oh yeah,
digging myself, I say, lastweek we had Manual Forbes a week
before that. We have a lotof sts on the show. And congratulations.

(50:42):
Okay, all right, today's gonnabe a nice day. Take off
your shoes. Yeah, go putyour feet on the earth. It's called
ground. I do that at theChristmas party today. That all right,
all do it. It's a legitthing. I just read a huge pub
med article. What happens, Whathappens to your body? It's good for
your cortisol levels, good for stress. It's good for all sort It sounds

(51:02):
all made some sort of electric.It sounds all made up. That's what
I said. The word for it, besides grounding is earthing, which sounds
even more. That's kind of thehippie thing unlike. So I was like,
all right, well let me lookinto this, and I pulled up
a flipping U meta article. It'son the sounds like fake news. A

(51:24):
huge study done, World of Medicine, World of Medicine. Okay, that
sounds very fe big study showing itworks. Huh, the propaganda that the
show puts out, Man, itworks, all right. When I break
my arm, I don't want togo to a doctor, I want to
do grounding. Well, here's thething. These are doctors writing these articles.

(51:49):
This is the National Institute of Health, the National Library of Medicine,
the same doctors that were in thosewhite lab codes out doing. Yes,
those doctors. By your thought,you'd be like, when I break my
arm, I don't want to goto a doctor. I want to go
my you know, my wife's friendwill fix. No. This is for
real, man, you know wedidn't want to go to a doctor.

(52:12):
Deshaun Watson, Yeah, what's upwith that well. He basically almost broke
his ankle. His shoulder was outof whack, and he wanted to keep
on playing, but they said,we're gonna have to shut you down.
But what a mess for Cleveland.Wow, he's uh, he's done.
Huh, he has done for theseason. Brown's got a good team too.
Yeah. So I was gonna say, how do you think that's gonna
affect me? Be I think it'sgonna be amazing. You got a rookie

(52:32):
quarterback in there now. They gota great defense. They do defense.
They're six and three. Yeah,unlike us, they're in good shape.
But do you think they'll they'll keepplaying this well without him? Maybe?
Maybe not? Probably not. Imean it's it's a rookie quarterback now,
but a lot of quarterbacks are goingdown. Ours is staying nice and healthy,

(52:53):
thank goodness, after all the sacksthat your mouth, Drea, don't
even bring that up. Yeah,we don't even talk about that. He's
doing well. Though he's doing well. I'd like to see him. You
know what I'd like to see fromthe Commanders this weekend is an outright win,
not a last second thing, notdown to the wire. We beat

(53:15):
you by a couple of touchdowns ormaybe even seventeen, which they're capable doing
to a bad Giant team was twoand eight right now, but just outright
beat them. I want to seethe Commanders due to the Giants what Dallas
did to the Yes, yeah,what was that forty nine? I mean
they blew their doors all over.Yeah, and Dallas is a good team
though too. Yeah that was onthe road. But I listen the Giants,

(53:36):
nobody's gonna pull the shoot. Butthat team is in massive trouble.
They're down to their third string quarterback. And you know, we're playing okay
football, so we should we should. We're favored by nine right now according
to DraftKings, so is. Yes, they moved down a point nine and
then over unders around thirty seven,so Vegas is expecting a very low scoring

(53:58):
game. Thirty that went up,didn't it? Or did that? I
was kind of hanging around there.It was like thirty seven thirty nine right
around there on the over runners.I just can't believe I actually understand what
you're saying. Now, Well,you're talking to Tim Murray. I'm Vegas.
Every week, I'm learning a littlebit every week, and I didn't
think I would, and here Iam having this conversation. Here you go,
I can't believe growing as an olderman. It's all the grounding them,

(54:21):
it is, it is. I'dlike to see you ground at the
Christmas party. Why don't you dothat? Mary? I will, okay,
go outside, put my feet onthe ground. Good for you.
It's healthy, earth earthy, it'shealthy, good for you. What else
you got? I heard Wizard's lostrights. Well there's two and nine.
Now it's not not good. Weknew this was going to be a complete
rebuild because they got rid of everybody. Uh last star of this lefton the

(54:44):
team was Kyle Kuzma, who's agood basketball player, but he can't do
himself. So they struggled last night. And then, uh, CAP's got
a couple of days off and Ithink Saturday they're going to play Columbus.
So they've been playing some good hockeylately. Yeah. Now, if you're
a college football fan and I youknow, we have a big Michigan fan
in the pit, and Rob Cruzwho runs hot ninety ninety five, he

(55:05):
went to Michigan. They're here toplay Maryland this weekend, boy, and
that is going to be a biggame for the Yeah. Oh, he's
got executive suitet, tickets and parkingpasses and free food. He's gonna have
a good time Michigan. And thecourse is going through all that stuff with
Harbaugh and the sign stealing scandal that'sbeen happening going on that allegedly somebody has

(55:27):
been going to other games videotaping them, checking out what they're doing before they
play Michigan, and then telling thecoaches, hey this yeah. Now,
by the way, in the NFL, this is all on the up and
up, but apparently in college you'renot supposed to do this. I guess
it's some kind of crazy gentleman's rule, which is nuts. There's hundreds of

(55:47):
millions of dollars online. Why wouldn'tyou go see an opponent. Now,
to make it even more weird,there's a guy on staff that apparently has
been going and appearing on other teams'sidelines in their gear. It's a crazy
story, man. So hardball longstray Shore got suspended this last game and
apparently he can't coach for the remainderof the season. Huh uh. Now

(56:10):
there's a judge involved and all thisother stuff, but it's just a it's
a mess. You know what,Harbon needs grounding, he does something.
Yeah, you know, Harpu's beentalking about there's been rumors about him coming
to the NFL, coming back hereto Washington. Yeah, well I don't
know about here, but somewhere righton. All right, thank you?

(56:30):
All right? Good? Are yougoing to game this weekend? Are you
going to the Commander's game or now? No, I'll be on my couch.
Uh yeah, yeah, I thinkI might go this weekend. Alright,
look at you go? And yeah, I want I want to see
it. I don't figure that ifthere's I'd like to see a win.
All right. Should have a niceweather day, should we not? I
think it's supposed to be like sixtyfifty seven fifty eight something like that.
You do the sweet or I don'tknow, Sideline passes a great question.

(56:54):
Yeah, I don't know. Ihaven't decided where. I heard that Jason
Wright might be in the building.You might want to hit him, you
know what. I need to meethim in person. He's I've talked to
him on the phone. He's agreat guy. Okay, I like to
meet him in person. All right, I'll do an introduction, all right,
appreciate you guys. Have a goodone. Thanks man. All right,
so let's see coming up cash oncommand just after nine o'clock. Plus
we have the echo in the nineo'clock hour, and we're about to kick

(57:17):
into some commercial free stuff. SoI'm gonna go outside and ground, all
right, Watch when I come back. Watch how happy I am I'm watching
it. I watched shoes off outside. Now it's a big one hundred
