Speaker 1 (00:08):
Hey, I don't know if you guys knew this already,
but a cool little hack for those those emails or
when you have to give your email to a company,
when you put your name in in the middle name,
put the put the website or the name of the
company or whatever that you are entering your information on.
And then when you start getting the emails looking see
(00:30):
what the middle name is, you know exactly who's selling
your info.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
See, here's the thing with Cranberry sauce, and there are
This would be a good off the wall.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Topic for you guys, what I might steal this.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Actually, it's actually better when you just buy the can,
when you just buy the cheap can. And there are
some items that are actually better the cheaper you go.
And I think cranberry sauce. I think people overdo cranberry sauce.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I think we just found Jack's twin.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
It's just right there. It's just right there in the
can for you. You don't need to overdo it. Fo he's
like Jim.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
They're like, oh, I gotta add thish and then he
starts talking reduction and then spices are coming on.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Don't forget the rue, yeah, because you're just using a
lot of it.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
If you do it right, it's just a little it's
just a little accent to the plate.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Jack's favorite favorite utensil in the entire kitchen is the can.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Open.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Jesus, both of you, that's a sacrilege.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Pretty I usually get pretty boogie with my food, but
cranberry out of the can really does it? Does it?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
It hits right where it needs to.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Yeah, And I just anytime I've had it or someone's like,
oh I made this from scratch.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I'm like, it's not as good as the can for
your presence today, my friend wing House Good Food Beautifully Served.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
I assume that because they are a high class organization
that they are making their own cranberry sauce.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
But you know, but you never know. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
go and go and check them out.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
You can get you can get one dollar wings at
Winghouse on Mondays, three Central Florida locations, Food Beautifully Served.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
We haven't spoken in a couple of weeks. Let's start
off with the magic before we get into football magic.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I need to ask them about tonight's game.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Magic off and running. And it's actually been kind of
very interesting the magic have had. You'll one week you'll
see or you know, one game it'll be. It's kind
of been a little stereotypical magic, hasn't it. It's been
like one of those things where we look really good
one night, and then the next night we don't look
so good, and the next night we look okay. Some
nights we make threes, the other nights we don't. I mean,
(04:29):
is this this team that's still trying to find a
cohesion because we have added a couple of pieces from
last year, and a couple of pieces have gone away.
Is this a team still trying to just trying to
get together with the team they have now?
Speaker 4 (04:40):
I know that people are tired of hearing this, but
this is just the reality of the situation. Health is
once again an issue at the moment, because I do
think the gelling is starting to occur. And the Magic
won three games in a row. They were starting to
feel it big wins. They had to win last week
on prime time against the New York Knicks, that was
on ESPN, that was at MSG.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
They had been rolling. I mean New York going into
that game.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Was scoring like one hundred and thirty points a night,
and the Magic absolutely turned their water off. They did
the same thing to the Rockets last night. The Rockets
are the best offense in the NBA right now. The
Magic held them to one oh two. The problem is
the Magic also had one o two. They went to
overtime and they lost. Yeah, but no Palo for the
last two games. He's dealing with a groin injury and
(05:29):
Jalen Suggs missed with the exact same injury. Yeah, just
last night, and he's been on sort of a minute's
restriction because of he's coming back from a knee injury.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
From last season.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
So and I hate making this part of the story
because I know that fans out there that follow this
team to any degree are so tired of hearing about
the health stuff. It's not a major issue, but is
impacting the team in the moment.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Now, we do this stuff with the NFL all the time.
I mean, you know, you base gambling, you know on
who's injured, who's not injured. You can't look at one
sport and applied to the other. I know you're just
saying it's been the trope of Magic for the while.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Because I know I can picture people out there like, oh,
this team's never healthy.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
It's like, yeah, okay, here's his homer again. Maybe that's it.
And I thought the team played really well last night.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Like you don't want to overuse the moral victory thing,
but going toe to toe with the Rockets, a fully
loaded Rockets team with Franz was great.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Desmond Bane the new addition.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
He's looked pretty good these last few nights, you know,
And that's why you bring him in because now the
Magic are missing some pieces, yet it still feels like
they're not just one guy and then everybody else.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Clear out still competitive. Yeah, you had multiple players scoring
to the twenties last night. It does feel like once
it's still November. Okay, I just it's so hard. I mean,
hear you.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
I didn't mean to I did not mean to do this.
You're a fire and I just threw diesel on it,
and I apologize.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
It's my fault. This is my fault, Jim. I have
to look introspectively. I have to get off of Twitter.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Okay, you cannot have to get off Twitter. You gotta
do that.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
It's such a double edged sword because I feel like
maybe I'm selling myself this. This is now therapy. I
will charge you, I will bill you later, or you
build me whatever. I feel like I need it for
my job because it helps me promote what I'm doing
a platform. But I cannot stand when I see fans
(07:34):
that lose their mind over the coaches rotations in the
first quarter of a game in mid November.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
But that is Twitter. That is exactly what it is
you are asking. You are asking a frog to stop
being a frog. You cannot do that. That is Twitter.
That is your fault. You're asking something to change its strike.
Somebody tweeting to be that.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Somebody tweeted at me last night and said, what the
hell was that defense?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
On the last play?
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Because Jonathan Isaac had a chance to if he got
his hand in the right position, block a shot on
the Rockets center, he wound up making the shot that
sent the game to overtime. And I said, are you
really on this app right now? I'm plaining about defense? Yeah,
when the Magic held the best offense in the NBA,
They're averaging almost one hundred and thirty points a night,
(08:22):
they held them to one oh two.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Defense was not the problem yes night.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
But I do recognize that this is this is who breath.
Let's bring this upon myself. Let's move on to something easier. Okay,
let's move on the NFL football. I've got a hot
take for you.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Okay, okay, Now, would you consider me an NFL fan
or not?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Oh? Big time?
Speaker 5 (08:42):
You think I love legitimately say the whole nine yards right, yep?
I think that what we're watching right now is one
of the best NFL seasons in the last twenty years.
I'm telling you straight up, this has been such a
fun NFL season. We're halfway through. It's been a blast.
I mean you, you legit do not know what's gonna
(09:04):
happen from week to week. And I don't give a
damn who's playing with the exceptional maybe two teams now,
maybe maybe the Patriots and maybe the Eagles. Outside of that,
you have no idea what's gonna happen. That's the best
it can be. I love it.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah, I don't disagree with how awesome it is.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
I think we've had a couple of Sundays that have
left some meat on the the last two.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
This weekend was awesome. No, this weekend was great.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
The last couple We've had a lot of really bad
games out there. But as far as predicting the results,
it's incredibly tough. I do this for a living, Jim,
and every single week in our picking pool that we
do here at work with people that haven't watched four
minutes of football all year.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I'm coming in.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Thirtieth, So what's your pick for tonight?
Speaker 5 (09:48):
Cowboys just told you was gonna be in thirtieth?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Why are you listening?
Speaker 5 (09:51):
You're doing way better just with the record on your own.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I want to ask you who you know?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
I was Cowboys, but I'm really lean Raiders now.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Okay, I'm gonna go Cowboys, but I continue to flop it.
But part of the reason why is.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
I'm definitely picking the Raiders now.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
It just goes to show, oh, you a bit there
you I did this last year.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
It's his livelihood.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
I handed the phone mid season. I could not get
any of these picks, right. I handed the phone to
my wife and she finished in first place and I
put the money with that. I did the same thing
last week with my kid, six years old. I let
him pick all of the games. I finished in fifth
last week. Yeah, way, that was all my son. When
I make the picks, I'm in the forties. It just
it just seems like the games are better. Like the
(10:35):
Broncos Chiefs came last night was so much fun. I mean, look,
the Bucks game was. It's just fun to watch.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
I think that when you get wrapped up in teams
that are so dominant, it takes when there's when there's
not parody, when you know, you know, the really bad
teams are bad, but even the really bad teams have glimmers.
You know, the Jets and the Saints have won, you know,
against teams that you definitely did not pick them to lose.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
To.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
I mean, the Bills are kind of shaky from week
to eat some time, so I like the fact that
every team seems to have a shot within reason in
this season.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
That makes it more fun for me.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
So I don't and I don't want to crap on
that opinion, because you are coming at me with a lot.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Of joy right now, and I don't want to be
the thief of that. You can, That's what Jack's been
doing it for years.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
I feel like what you just said, like if I
just bumped my head and got my crap together again
and someone said, hey, it's twenty eighteen, by the way,
and I just heard you say that, I would believe it.
I think every single year what you're saying applies to
the NFL, and that is why no other league can
touch it in terms of it's popular.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
It's it's so much fun there are There is no
thing that can make me sit on my couch for
seven hours. There is no single broadcast that could do it,
not even golf nothing. I mean British Open maybe something
like that. But I'm telling you that's twice a year
every Sunday. I could sit there from one until midnight
and have no problem with it.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Do you watch the red zone channel or do you
lock in on a team? I'm straight if oh man,
i's Jim, you don't even know. Have you tried it?
I can't do it, but you've done it. I don't
want to do it.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
It would be like crack.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Okay, yeah, I'm telling you. I know my weaknesses. I
can't do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do start scratching
a little bit.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
Petere Roselle wanted the NFL commissioner from the seventies. Is
that parody in the league where every year, and for
the longest time, I don't know if it still holds true.
Half of all the teams that reach the playoffs were
not in the playoffs the year.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Before, and it is designed that way. Jack.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
They do it on purpose. The schedules every single year.
This has done so strategically. They don't hide behind it.
The teams that win their division the year prior, they
get the hardest schedule the next year. The teams that
fall to last place typically get the easiest schedule the
next year. And if you do a good job in
(12:57):
building your roster, the NFL is going to reward you
with an easy schedule.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Now, if your team sucks.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
It doesn't matter if you have an easy schedule, because
you're not gonna be able to do anything with it.
You're gonna be the patsy on somebody else's schedule. If
you get bored today, do yourself a favor. Look at
the difference between who the Chiefs play every single week
and who the New England Patriots play every single week.
They are not playing the same sport right now. And
I think the Patriots are legitimately good, but this is
(13:26):
what the NFL wants, and the great teams year over
year are typically able to overcome that, Like Philadelphia. Every week,
it's the Lions, it's the Packers, all the best teams
in the NFL. They're still winning despite that. The Chiefs
are not. But that's the reason why every year you
see teams that go from the bottom to the top
(13:46):
and from the.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Top to the bottom. Very nice shows them real quick.
Orlando Pride, big game last night. Were you talking about
it a lot today?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Well, you know, and Marta had a really emotional press
conference after the game, talking about what she envisions her
future to be, how much passions she still has for
the game, Tears in her eyes and you can just
see the the grit, the just the passion that she
has for the sport. It just bleeds out over the screen.
(14:17):
So it's gonna be interesting to see how they're able
to keep this team banded together. I think that naturally
what happens is you win a championship, you start to.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Get a little bit comfortable.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Yeah, you feel like you can just roll out there
and do it again, and you don't have the same
fire that brought you to the championship.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
The first and other team's key up for you, you know.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
I mean it's like when you come in as the champs,
they want you harder, so you get played against by
you know, you get you get everybody's both barrels every
time exactly.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
So if you slip up at all, that's you're You're
the circled game on everybody else's schedule. So credit to Gotham.
They got the win and the Orlando Pride left to package.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Let's talk about the biggest story in the NFL yesterday.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Oh god, really, Shador Sanders.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Yeah, here's the thing is that I didn I didn't
say what it was.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I knew I could talk about it.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
I said, so you would have to say this that
was a lackluster display of ability. Yeah, he didn't look good. Yeah,
but that doesn't mean anything. I understand because it was
the first set of snaps. But I mean, is this
one of those things where like, is this is this
sports world going yeah I kind of told you so,
(15:23):
or is this them saying you know, well, you know,
give him a chance. You know, first set of downs,
you know, came in because somebody else got injured.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Well, it's such a hot topic that you can find
whichever your favorite hot take artist is out there, and
you can find both of those opinions. So I don't
think there's general consensus. It's hard to find general consensus
on just about anything these days. When it comes to
Shador Sanders, there's none of it because people have picked
their side.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
I like to live in a rational world. I have
been a believer in Shador Sanders. I was shocked that
he's fell out of the first round than even more
shocked when he fell all the way to the fifth.
I thought he looked better than his counterparts in the
preseason for the most part.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
It's not like he was perfect. He was awful. Yeah,
he looked terrible.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
He looks scared I mean there's a couple dropbacks there
when he got some pressure outside of the one where
he got sacked.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
You look horrified. You just see why.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
I actually think I gained more respect for NFL evaluators
watching him yesterday.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Wow. Yeah, they knew.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
It really didn't look like that at Colorado. The NFL
is just such a different sport than college. And I
know that. And it's not like I just learned.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
This information and I still forget every single year.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
A lot of self deprecation today, buddy, I don't know,
it's more self reflection. I think I'm not going to
keep you too late because we're raised not with us today,
so we can run a little b late. But I
want one more question. So what's going on with UCF.
We get Scott frossback, we get the whole thing back,
the vibes are there, everything's great, we got the new
space outfits, everything's awesome.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Are you demoralized by the forty point life?
Speaker 5 (17:00):
And we're just getting absolutely I don't understand every game,
it just doesn't seem like we're super competitive.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I mean, where are they? I mean, what.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
At what phase of metamorphosis is this football team?
Speaker 4 (17:16):
They are lost in the middle of the I have
no money to pay players ocean of college football, and
there's a lot of programs that are stuck there.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
This is the.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Problem with you SEF going up a weight class from
the American Athletic Conference to the Big Twelve. At the
time that they did, it was a good idea because
UCF was ready for it. The problem is is that
college football changed almost immediately after that happened, and that
changed they were not ready for. UCF does not have
(17:46):
the donors that have these super deep pockets that are
funneling money to the program. They have to scratch and
claw for every dollar that they get. There are rich
boosters out there, but it is all relative. Jim, you're
talking about a team they just play on Saturday, Texas Tech,
that has they've got oil money funding that program.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
They no like. Texas has never had a problem with
that al They make no bones about it.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Texas Tech bought a legitimate national title contender and they
play like it every single week. UCF isn't even close.
The UCF's roster is still built to compete at the
Group of five level, which is that just slightly lower
level of college football. But they compete against some of
the top teams in college every single week, and the
(18:31):
Big Twelve is a very tough football conference. They're better
than like the ACC. The Big Twelve is a better conference.
UCF's just not ready for it right now. Financially. I
don't think this has anything to do with Scott Frost.
I don't blame him one bit. I'm still excited that
he's back. But until they can start to recruit the
talent with their dollars get ready for it's just not this.
(18:53):
And then I hate that it's become just that because
it used to be, well, you're in the state of Florida,
so you have you have your pick of the litter
of the guys that don't go to Florida State Florida
in Miami. It's that Scott Frost was really good in
his short time, in his first stint of finding those
guys and building the right team.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
It's not like that anymore. Now.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
It's about are you paying more than the school over here?
And if the answer is no, then I'm gonna go
over here. It's why a team in Oxford Old Miss
is just as competitive, in fact way more competitive right
now than the Florida Gators.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
They used to never be the case. Indiana, Indiana. It's
a great example.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Indiana's got deep pockets now all of a sudden, if
they want to have a good football program, they can
pay for it, and they and they did. His tech
is in Lubbock. We have a college football guest that
joins us every week. He says, you want to know
how to get the Lubbock, go to hell and take
a right.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
That's how crappy that place is.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
And yet here they are out out recruiting Orlando, Florida.
Because you can't use the city, you can't use the
campus anymore. You've got to use the bank count and
UCF just.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Doesn't have it. Hopefully they get there.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
It's gonna take some time, and hopefully fans have some
patience with Scott Frost.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
Wow man dire stuff. Huh yeah, well, I mean it is.
I mean, because here's the thing. You can't look down
the road for an answer. The answers money and that,
and I think that's really kind of a pit. Really,
that's a terrible place to be. If I would if
I was, you know, in charge of a division and
football club and we were in a position like that,
it would feel hopeless because You're never gonna have the
(20:29):
money like the Texas teams, or usc or or UCLA
or Notre Dame or any of those other teams, even
the big three in Florida that can outspin you for
the talent. Where are you gonna get that? How are
you gonna convince that that blue chipper to come to
UCF when he will be the one there, he will
be the blue Chipper. There won't be a team of
Blue Chippers. There won't be four or five of them.
(20:49):
We put all the money into one, and then we
don't have a team to support that guy. It doesn't
seem like there's a lot of hope there. I mean,
if it's all based on the money and you can't
use the surround or the environment or the integrity of
the school to recruit and it's just cash, I mean god,
I mean that means there's gonna be a whole bunch
of ucfs and we're gonna go right back to seeing
(21:11):
the thing we saw before, which instead of it being
Alabama being able to drop because I can put you
in the NFL, it's gonna be whoever can pay you
the highest right, and that's gonna be the thing. It's
your payroll, and it's the same school is gonna have
the same money every year. It's never going to change.
And I'll just leave on this one silver lining to all.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Of that going anywhere, okay, well, or I'll just here
until when you guys off seven around there the silver
lining to that to give some hope to fans out there.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Baseball deals with the exact same thing. And yes, the.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Dodgers have won in the last two years and they're
out spending everybody else. Spending makes it a lot easier.
You still have to spend right And Texas, who is
in the same state as Texas Tech last time I checked,
they spend even more money than Texas and they can't
remove their head from their ass so they have a.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Manning at quarterback.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Oh that sounds expensive that game, well exactly, but they
spent a lot of money. Just because you spent Miami
spent a lot, They're probably not gonna make the college
football playoff. Just because you spend a lot, that doesn't
guarantee anything. You have to spend the right money. And
so the other side of that is just because you
don't have money, that doesn't mean you can't be competitive.
It just means that you have to be so good
(22:25):
at finding the diamonds in the rough, and to go
back to the baseball comparison, it means you have to
be the Tampa Bay Rays. They have always ranked in
the bottom five of spending, and yet every single year
they are competitive with the best teams in baseball because
they moneyball it. They get the guy that nobody else
wanted and they get the most out of them. It's
(22:45):
so hard to do that. Your trek up the hill
is a lot tougher than the rich guy next to you.
That's just taking the elevator to the top of the mountain.
But it is possible. You just have to get really
good with finding those guys away. Boddysre to be the
extra ten minutes was great today?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Was it an extra ten Yeah? Good lad. This is
a great end to the work.
