(00:05):
Okay, you have to have CTEkicked in from the last time what happened
to the dojo stays and asana,But then you had to still leak to
the internet self burn. Those arerare. This is a family friendly podcast.
Ship. You are now listening tothe not your average sports fans podcast.
Now here's your host, Alec Beichelmanand the fans. I don't get

(00:30):
it, man, You slap anabsolute fucking pis missile at the freaking post
and you're not excited for all ofthe fucking baseball, an absolute fucking pisser.
Yeah, what long to win thegame? Yeah? When the fuck
did I do? Fan? Itwas yesterday? Jay Ram did it.
Oh. I was like, you'relooking at me directly in the eye right

(00:52):
now, and I'm like, you'resitting over angel the game. I can't
remember if you Jel was running thatgame on Nuggets. No, but Jay
Rim did put a go aheader rightoff the off the pole day. Bo
Naylor hit his first Grand slam.Bo did hit his first Grand Slam on
Sunday and I watched it. Youwant to know why, because we were

(01:17):
switching from the Calves and we switchedright over because it was in between periods.
I think it was halftime for theCalves, and uh popped right over
and watched bon Naylor absolutely send thatbitch's great. I saw the highlight was
Chef's kiss. Yeah. The worstpart is though bow Naylor that that's about

(01:38):
the only biggest thing he's done sincethe night that him and Josh what they
have, that was their that wastheir walk off combo together, right,
and that was in the middle ofApril. Yeah, that was middle of
April. He's still playing good,he's playing catching well. The one thing
that I have isn't as a badpoint that I'm looking at for bo Is.

(02:00):
He's just he's got to get betterat the pickoff. He's got to
get better with the pickoff and gettinggetting guys at second. Which I get
it. It's a lot. It'sa hard feat. I couldn't fucking do
it. But like, all right, that's the only thing that I I
don't even know what the statistic wouldbe, But like, I don't even
know how many throwouts you can seein a hundred and sixty two games.

(02:23):
I don't even know statistically what theaverage is. But I'm telling you right
now it's it's not easy. Ohmaybe. Now, granted my experience is
a lot different, but I thinkmaybe, And I'm spitballing here because a
fucking CTE. Probably in the twocredible years that I played baseball, I
maybe threw out eight guys, maybemaybe ten. Damn in let's see.

(02:49):
My junior year we played twenty twentyfour, so we won twenty four we
lost, so thirty games, no, twenty eight games. And then my
senior year, I think we playedtwenty seven games, twenty eight, no,
twenty six. I can only saythat I've thrown out maybe ten guys,

(03:10):
and my best throwout was actually tothird on a pop. Really,
yeah, that was the best throwout I've ever had. Well, welcome
to not Draverge Boys Fans podcast.I'm ouch Beckman. Welcoming into the studio.
The fans guys had to have somethingout of nowhere, and really it
was just kind of on the fly. I think I thought there would be

(03:31):
something fun, but it just didn'tcome out of it. So we're all
but baseball. We're all wearing baseballstuff. Yeah, we are. Shot
my sixteen World Series jersey because myother shirt was sweaty from the gym.
The draft is over. I thoughtthe Cavs were going to lose this weekend.
They're losing right now. Not surprised. Well, they're playing Celtics.

(03:52):
It's close though, at the endof the first it was forty to thirty
four. It's close, but stillforty to thirty four in the first.
That game's gonna project like one hundredand ten. Yeah, yeah, he
Carolina's beating the Rangers. But sir, what's on the mind the South?

(04:15):
Oh, Baton Rouge. Okay,yeah, Baton Rouge is on the mind.
I'm ready for June eighth, goteverything paid for, just waiting to
finalize some stuff up with an Airbnband a van and a Bucky's trip and
some other things I keep to myself, some fun stuff. Oh it's you're
sending the wrong group of guys downto Baton Rouge unsupervised. Oh that's all

(04:40):
I gotta say. Hide your kids, hide your wives. The boys from
Ohio coming down to Baton Rouge.No, man, I'm excited. It's
kind of It's gonna be kind oflike a little vacation for me, a
little getaway, lifting some heavy assshit, and I'm ready for it to
be over with so I can enjoythe rest of the summer, and you
know, enjoy August with you guysin here and coach football. It'll be

(05:03):
great. Yeah, it'll be grand. Chris, what's on the mind?
Uh? Another weekend went by,not too shabby. Went up to see
the Gallon. We caught some playoffhockey. We caught game two of the
Toledo Walleye and the Wheeling Nailers.Its solid game they had and Toledo took

(05:27):
the win by the three. TheWheeling Nailers yep, yeah, they're not
too shabby of a team either.So is that Wheeling West Virginia. Yea.
They are the affiliates that the PittsburghPenguins. Interesting, it's great that
they got the win, but yeah, their team scheme literally the Colors are

(05:50):
the same as the Penguins. Butanyways, by three, they lead the
series to zip and I believe theygot game streaming four and lean either Game
three tonight or tomorrow night. We'llcheck. But caught some playoff hockey.
Caught some of the Boston Toronto game. I caught the last overtime thriller.

(06:14):
Watch that pretty much. Playoff hockeys year. Definitely into it. Baseball
is ramping up, and guys,we also have the NFL Draft go by,
and we we were we kept thetradition going. We watched. We
absolutely kept the traditional. I passedout on the couch. I I was

(06:35):
very surprised. I was very surprisedwith a lot of the draft. But
thank you for the the magic piecethat you sent, by the way,
that's perfect for the draft. Hesent something for the draft. But yeah,

(06:55):
definitely, Yeah, So chairman,what's the line, Bud? I
will tell you besides those beaver nuggetcrumbs, I saw you flick off your
shirt, the beaver balls. Ilove. I love those nuggets. I
don't know why. It's something aboutthem. They're a great There's something about
them that if you set them ontop of the fridge and you see them

(07:16):
and you're like, man, Icould use something peckish, grab a handful
of those and you're good to go. Let me tell you the cinnamon ones
I think are better. You thinkthe cinnamon ones are better, and you
haven't shared sweet and you haven't.Wait, they make cinnamon ones. Of
those yep, cinnamon ones, there'sa hot I think they made a hobbin
arrow one that just one sweet heatsea salt just sounds boring. I mean,

(07:40):
as well, just go eat potatoessea salt. They have a sea
salt one. I think it's asea salt carmel one. Yeah, okay,
And then again the hobbin era becauseit's regular bag, a red bag,
which is a cinnamon, and thenthere's a blue and the green.
I do enjoy some cinnamon. Sowell, you know, you got a
trip here in a few weeks,and yes, then you're making a stop

(08:01):
in Richmond. Yes. So otherthan that, I'm just school years around
the corner. I'm ready for itto be done and get to summer schedule
and then get to the important shipat the end of the summer. But
we got a little bit over thesummer that we got to get taken care
of first. So I think there'sa game, a baseball game or two

(08:22):
maybe on the agendas and such.But life is good. We're here,
That's how it is. So absolutelyso let's get mystery pizza done really quick,
get that guy squared away, andthen we should start talking the draft,
because I think the Browns did reallywell with the draft and I want

(08:43):
to get into that deeper. Ohand not just Brown but all the teams
and everything. There was a coupleof draft talk, a couple conversations.
I can definitely name one of them, the ones that mispronounced their new starting

(09:07):
quarterbacks name or mistyped it. Holdon one second, stop cheating. I
don't have the video up that wasout there. This is gonna be fun
and splashing outside all right here itis. You know the rules, mystery
piazza, smell licked. Do whateveryou gotta do. Figure out what's inside
of that box. That didn't soundlike a good ooh, it's little heavy.

(09:31):
Wait till you get a whiff.It's like it's like melch your atomic
spray. The atomic I don't knowwhat you about. Jiggled the lid open.
I know this? Ah man,that that that was? Yeah,
it's it's like pepper spray. Iknow one. I don't know what that

(09:54):
is though I've never been pepper sprayed. You get a different smell going from
this part to this part. Haveyou ever noticed that there's so many things
I who I think I might havethis one. You might have it.
I might have it, all right, but I'm glad you have it as

(10:16):
I fucking don't. I got alot of onion okay, so onion,
mushroom, green pepper, julapeno,Okay, onion, peppersini mushroom. And
that's been heavy too, So I'mgonna go with a curveball and say salami.

(10:39):
That's a good move, peppersini,onion, bacon because I got a
smoky hen at the end. AndI'm gonna guess this is the one that
I'm not feeling too confident about.I I might go with your solami vibe,
but I don't know. And Ithink I'm gonna go with green peppers,

(11:01):
peppers, so peppersini, green peppers, bacon, and onion. They
got quick because I want to sayonion, but said like with the onion,
it's like an onion straw type thing. I think the onion is gonna
be like an onion straw type thing. All right, here we go three
two one. It's oh god,that is bacon ham, onion pep ham.

(11:26):
No, it's bacon ham, onion, pepperoni, onion pepperoni. That
is strong on the onions. Thatlooks like a good pizza. Though that
does look like a good pizza.Oh fire dive in that hit. Well,
there's the show. Snippers aren't snippingright, what is the bacon at

(11:50):
least? Yeah? I guessed allvegetables. We all got onion. I
guessed all vegetables and we know ononions. I was like, you thought
that healthy? That ship hit melike straight fucking pepper spray. Two.

(12:22):
All right, gentlemen, So wegot to talk about this draft? Wow?
We where do we want to kickit off? Well, let's talk
about how about this. Let's breakit down and let's talk about let's take
our three teams that we think oneand three teams that lost. Okay,

(12:45):
can you can you do that offthe top of your head, because yes,
yes, yes I I can't.I can. Uh. Let's start
with the three teams that I thinkthat one. I want to start on
a good thing. Number one ofthe uh, I would have to go
with Minnesota got the guy they wanted, Yes, Minnesota Vikings. Now I

(13:07):
will say number two would have tobe the Cleveland Browns. Yep. Number
three team that won, Oh dude, the Philadelphia Eagles when the Cowboys made
that dumb trade, which the Cowboys, Ah, fuck it, I'll just
do all of them. The Cowboysare my number one because why would you
ever trade in division? Yep?Why Micah Parsons was even questioning it.

(13:33):
So number one is the Cowboys fora fucking tackle, and I would think
number one would be the obvious theAtlanta Falcons. I don't know. I
can't make my mind up on it, but I'll put number two is Atlanta.
You're paying Kurt fucking Cousins a shitton of money, I think one
hundred and eight million dollars and yougo and draft for four years, thank

(13:56):
you, and you go and drafta first round quarterback. You deserve that
f rating And I have to gowith bon Nix go. I can't remember
the team, but bon bonis picking. I'm getting picked by Denver. That's
the That's my top three worst,and honestly, I'll change it up.
I would put the Cowboys at thirdfor doing that because the two quarterback picks

(14:18):
that was way too early. Absolutely, Chris, who you got? So
I got a land number one againlike Dalton. So Kirk Cousins literally set
everything up. I get it.They kind of want to find a guy
for the next because this is gonnabe most likely Kirk cousins final stock.
But Kirk stayed a few more yearsleft now for Denver. I don't have

(14:39):
Denver as my bottom three. Theyreached for bone Knicks, though they definitely
reached because I thought bone Nicks waslike middle, like they recovered the rest
of their draft. Yeah, theydid. But and chat out of been
an Eates barbershop. I got myhaircut the day after the draft of him
and I were talking about it,but speaking up definitely, Ben Nate Ian

(15:01):
go check them out at Nates barberDefinitely good job. But Ben and I
were talking about it and we weresitting there talking about the draft, and
he's like, dude, so howdo you think about bow And I'm like,
oh, Denver definitely reached. He'slike, oh, one hundred percent.
I guarantee you their buttoles puckered becauseAtlanta took Michael Pennix and they're like,
we need to take bow Nicks nowbecause of this, And then literally
went from first round pick number twelvewas bow Knicks all the way to the

(15:24):
fifth round when Spencer Ratler was taken, and we went how many rounds without
a quarterback which was the longest inthe draft. I'm like, Boa would
have been there in the second round, and honestly, Penick should have been
there in the second round. Butno one else would have reached for Pennix
like Lanta did, so Atlanta stillnumber one. I actually got the Cowboys
at too because of the move andeverything, like the move they did and

(15:46):
everything and the whole. No,we're gonna trade. Never do in division
trades unless you're getting something. NeverAnd for a number three, I had
them and lost them. I took. I mean, I could give you

(16:07):
number three that I thought I might. Well, I had a number three,
but I'm sitting here and stretching Mythird one was probably the Kansas City
Chiefs. There was a wide receiversitting on the board and you didn't fucking
take them for Kansas City? Yeah, or did they know they took it?

(16:30):
Who needed a wide receiver and theydidn't take they didn't take xaver Worthy
traded back Buffalo, That's what was. Buffalo has no weapons, and they
traded out and nobody. Yeah theybecause they traded out with Kansas City.
Did the guys Averyward? Then theytraded for Carolina to get in the first
back in the first round, andthen we take xavierl Yeah, Xaviel legged,

(16:55):
which not gonna lie. I thinkit's solid. I think we could
have got him right starting Friday evening, but him being the first round pick,
I'm like, okay, not toocheck, but honestly, maybe the
Steelers they one within who they drafted, maybe one pick I think made the
best sense, but also fuck Pittsburgh. So but for the teams, I

(17:22):
think one Philadelphia they pretty much dida reload, getting Quinnion Mitchell in the
with their first pick and then comingback around trading in rival and getting Cooper
Dejeen, which he's like I said, I really thought the Packers would line
up to get him, but Iknow green baying in the other positions.
Unfortunately, they still don't take askilled offensive guy in the first round,

(17:44):
so they're keeping that streak alive,which is not a good streak because Cooper
Dejeen, like I said, hecould play safety, he could play corner
and shout out to New Heights JasonKels. He pretty much dropped the hand.
He's like, I see him workinginside a little more, especially because
we still got the Eagles to haveQuentin Mitchell. They're most likely going to
work on the other outside, sothe gene will probably work in the middle,

(18:04):
maybe drop back, and then ofcourse return specialist. He was a
returner. Yeah, he'll still besolid so Philly with that, and honestly
another one which I'm kinda I'm stickingwithin the NFC East. I think the
I think Washington Commanders did pretty solid. There were a couple questions, but

(18:30):
there's also a few like Jerseon Newtonthat and they are ensuring their D line
a bit more. Yeah, okay, I see why you took the Commanders.
Mike Sanders still the corner from Michigan. Not too shabby, trying to
work with the corner room a bit. They added up another depth receiver with
Luke McCaffrey, Christian McCaffrey's brother,and then shout out seventh round, they

(18:55):
took an edge guy, Javonte JeanBaptiste, old black guy trans for the
Notre Dame. Like I said itmight, that might be my stretch of
a top for it. Like theCommanders, they worked it out. They
drafted some solid guys, so Fleeyit works out for them. And again
the Browns, I think they didsolid. And honestly, Carolina, we

(19:15):
won. I think I'm ringing inour draft. We got Xavier Legged,
we got Jonathan Brooks, which weneeded another top running back Trent Wallace,
they did solid, and then comingback and getting Javon Sanders a tight end
from Texas. And actually my thirdone now I'm going with Houston Texans.
They pretty much did solid. Theypicked up Kate Stovered, they got some

(19:37):
other weapons to as reassurance to backup and everything. Houston's like, hey,
we made we got it. Wewon the South last year, we
won a playoff game, we gotto divisional round. The drafted some debt,
and the depth really got them legin against Baltimore. Now they added
a few more guys as depth andthey're trying and Demiko it's gonna make sure

(20:00):
they got it to the next stepforward. I don't think the Texans had
that good of a draft, butit was good for them to be cast
over. But how do you addto a team that did overperformed already.
It's difficult from when you started withnothing. Absolutely. So it's the only

(20:21):
way I think that the Texans canbe judged in how their draft actually went
is I'd give them the first fiveweeks yep, and see where some of
these draft picks land. All right, well you've created it, so let's
hear it, gentlemen. Gentlemen.Gentlemen, let's start with the tops,

(20:44):
the big positives. I like positivesnumber one. I agree. I think
the Vikings had the best draft singlehandedly. And it's hard to say that,
isn't it because Michigan quarterback. It'shard to say that deep down,
But I think JJ McCarthy has enoughof the underdog mentality coming out of that
that he will he will perform.And the best part is he just is

(21:07):
a missing puzzle piece in Minnesota.And to be honest with you, that's
a missing puzzle piece that all theyneeded is something that fits. Can I
be the evil? The evil twistreal fast, say what you got?
It could fail. Absolutely every oneof these quarterbacks can fail. We've seen
it before. We've seen it waytoo many times. Absolutely. Everybody's pointing
at JJ. But I don't thinkit's JJ. It's panics. I don't

(21:30):
think it's picks. You think it'sbo. I think it's next that fails.
You think bow next is gonna fail? In Denver? What does he
have? They got rid of everythingfor Russell Wilson. They got nothing for
Wilson back right, What the fuckdoes he have out there? He has
one receiver? If that Franklin,Literally, what the fuck else does he

(21:52):
have? He doesn't have a line. You're at high fucking altitude, which
he's in organ so he was athigher altitude, but then he was Auburn.
It's just and he's also on theAFC West. He's fucked. He
is f U c K D fucked. I'm telling you that now he is
going to be destined to be failed. And I get it. He has
Sean Payton, but I don't thinkeven the best and we've seen it,

(22:15):
some of the best coaches can't doanything with nothing. That check lost a
fucking job because of it. Yeah, yeah, Now, don't get me
wrong, he lost his love childthat now has his own roast on Netflix.
But funny as hell, hilarious.I'm watching it actively with Kylie.
But I just I there's so muchin Denver that needs to happen in the

(22:36):
off seat the rest of this offseasonfor me to feel comfortable about Bonex going
into that. I think that that'sa huge failure and that's why they're gonna
be my number three on the listof failures. But well my even probably
number two, but number one forthe positives is Minnesota. They needed one
thing to get thrown in and thenthey got extra shit. They got a
place kicker later in the rounds.They got Dallas Turner at seventeen. That's

(23:00):
that's everything they could ever fucking askfor. And then they got to I
think a solid quarterback in JJ McCarthy. Is he the best quarterback that was
there? Absolutely not, We've seenthat. But could he become the best
quarterback there? Absolutely, we've seenit before. But Minnesota number one?
Number two? Uh, I hadthis, I had this, look where

(23:22):
did they go number two? Iagree with you, Philadelphia. I think
Philadelphia is number two. You yousecure down on your on your defense.
Do I feel good about Quinn onMitchell being the bigger cornerback coming off first
of the board. Not really.He has a lot to prove. Can
he show it with again that underdogmentality? Absolutely, we can see it.

(23:45):
He has the potential and he hasthe great ability to do that.
They the Eagles filled up everything thatthey needed and they did it well.
They will be good because again isthe Philadelphia Georgia Bulldogs number three Bulldogs.
They did not they only got zero. They got zero. They did not
draft any Yeah, they got MichiganTexas, a lot of a lot of

(24:11):
South and a lot of well midSouth Texas area, and then a lot
of the Mid East. So numberthree, gentlemen. Number three, Uh,
I like what the Lions did.They didn't have a lot of picks,
but they got everything they needed andthey got them well, and they

(24:33):
got a great fucking corner that hada blowout year this last year. Well
not not blowout, but an explosiveyear this year, a explosive numbered year.
Absolutely. They they did with teammatewas projected to be better than him
with what they had, they didreally good, and I think that needs
to be brought into the conversation.And number four, well, this will
be my honorable mention is the Brownsbecause I really like their late picks and

(24:57):
I'm going to talk and I thinkthat we need to talk about a couple
of these late picks that I thinkare sneaky pickups that were picked up in
the third, fourth, fifth roundin terms of skill players. But we'll
talk about that here in a second. The three teams that I think fucked
themselves super fucking hard this year isnumber one. Uh, I'm sorry,
but Atlanta fucked themselves. You can'tpiss off your starting quarterback like that,

(25:18):
especially when you're saying that much fuckingmoney. And of course that is the
probably the nicest quarterback in the league. Yes, that is the nicest fucking
quarterback in the league. That manwill give you a shirt off his back
and we'll give you space in hishome if you have a problem. And
you you did that to him.He's the closest thing resemblance we have to
a Philip Rivers type and he justgot pissed on, absolutely, And he

(25:41):
doesn't have the the I don't thinkhe has the talk behind him. I
think he's just generally overall a greatfucking guy. Yeah, so that's just
him getting fucked over. I watchedthe Quarterback Series on Yeah, absolutely,
it was great. It was amazing. The greatest guys I think in the
NFL, especially as a quarterback.Number two that is a failure, absolutely

(26:04):
is Dallas. I agree. Dumbestfucking decision to move that quickly. You
got what you needed, You gotwhat you needed, you got your tackle.
He's gonna be good. But theycould have picked that tackle up.
You could have gotten him later on. You could have done a lot of
different things. And then number threeis Denver. I'm sorry, and I'm

(26:25):
taking back where I said Denver wasnumber two. I think they're number three.
They had some good later rounds.They picked up a couple of receivers,
a couple of linemen, well,a couple offensive defensive linemen, and
then a couple other skill positions throughout. But I just I'm sorry, but
Bonnix they could have gotten in thesecond round. They could have traded that
first round pick and gotten two orthree in the second round. I think

(26:47):
yes, and still could have gottenBonix. Oh yeah, and still I
think could have gotten probably another playeror two. I think bow Knicks originally
was projected a third round, secondor third, and Penix was projected second
third round. I just, likeI said, Atlanta reached for Penix,
which then led Denver to reach forboth. Yeah. So, gentlemen,

(27:11):
the two teams I think we needto talk about with late round pickups.
Number one, we got to talkabout the Browns. Uh. Michael Hall
was a great pick up, huge, huge fucking pick up. I wanted
the kids from I wanted the kidfrom Illinois. But and I even said
that the guy from Illinois was gonnago late first round. Jazer Newton.
Yes, I tackle, edge,chat, tackle, whatever. Yeah,

(27:38):
they got the next best guy inthe second round. It's a hometown guy
too. And to be honestly,I think Cleveland starting to understand that hometown
guys are good for them. Uh. Second on the list for the Browns
was Zach Zenter from Michigan. Technicallyautomatically can start. Oh absolutely, But
I think the other conversation that weneed to talk about there as well is
that's technically a hometown guy because he'sout of Michigan. That's just right across

(28:02):
the right, across the lake.That's still going to bring people in.
I think that's going to bring peopleinto go watching. I absolutely think so.
Third hometown guy that you can talkabout Jawan Briggs seventh round, twenty
third overall from Cincinnati, defensive tackYeah that, uh is he gonna bring
in Vans? I don't know.But he's still a hometown guy. He's
building on that hometown established. He'sdefinitely going to be a practice squad guy

(28:25):
though. Okay, absolutely, sohere's what I'm getting at. Thanks Chris
for tossing on your phone. Yes, if you look at anything after jamiir
Thrash so Nathaniel Watson, Miles Harden, and Jawan Briggs. Those are all
probably going to be practice squad guys. Well. And I want to go
back to the Jamari Thrash conversation becausethere are two receivers I think that were

(28:48):
picked up in the second and thirdround because he was third round, third
round. Oh, Jamari Thrash wasthe fifth round, fifth round pickup.
That is one of the best fifthround pickups I think in the single handled
conversation. And then I think thebest third round pickup has to go to
the Jets. Malakai Cory ab fuckingwill now saying guys, they practice squad
isn't a bad thing to start outwith, but they still get paid.

(29:10):
They get paid and they can getcalled up. Your name is on that,
your name is behind the team name. Yep, you get a jersey,
they give you all the teams shitright, be happy with it,
and you're getting paid a good salary. What the Browns did, which was
smart, yes, is they gotguys late late. That okay, yeah,
we bring them in. They haveto be fundamental, so like we

(29:30):
have to bring them in, wehave to use them to get guys ready.
They almost use the second and thirdand fifth round pick. As all
right, these are our guys.If you look at how the Browns drafted,
which they drafted in the spots whereall of our injuries that we've seen,
yes have been able. I'm I'm, I'm thoroughly a static for the

(29:55):
draft for them, gentlemen. Ithink we see Jamari Thrash play this year,
oh, we will say, becauseI think he could take bell spot.
We are also the type of thetype of team to rotate players,
especially in receiver position. I don'tthink Bell is a bust just yet.
By the way, I don't knowif you're going with that in terms of
the conversation. Did bust ever comeout? Never came out of my mouth?

(30:18):
Replacing Bell position? I don't knowexactly what you're talking. I do
want to hear about you on that. I think he could replace Belle.
Okay, if Bell were to getmoved on somewhere else or injured or something
along those lines. Yeah, yeah, I get so That's where I was
getting to. I was like,do you think in Bell's moving? But
no, so that needs to beconverse because Jamari Thrash is great off the

(30:40):
ball, gets into a great position. I think he's going to be a
great player, especially for the factthat, again coming from Louisville, that
under aug mentality really what you need. Coney, he wasn't too shabby at
Georgia Southern, which is where hewas for a couple of years before he
transferred. Absolutely, and then anotherconversation in terms of a guy that really
is going to be out to provehimself has to be talked about. Out
with that Malachi Coraley pick up forthe Jets, I think that's the smartest

(31:03):
move ever, and that wide receiveris going to be competitive with every other
wide receiver that was taken in thefirst and second Absolutely, I really do
think so. I think Malachi Corleyis a hidden gym that not a lot
of people will talk about. Forthe fact that we saw him when Western
Kentucky came and played at Ohio Stateand he kept them in that game for
the amount of time that they wentyeah oh yeah. That where I started

(31:23):
getting really scared about how Ohio State'sgoing to play. Absolutely, and Chris,
I think you and I had thatconversation about Malakai Cory, the fact
that he had all right quarterbacks too, well, he had all right quarterbacks.
He didn't have top class quarterbacks thatcan get the ball exactly where he
needs it right. He didn't havea what we'll just start listing off guys

(31:45):
Jayden Daniels and all these guys thatcan place the ball where exactly he needs
to so that he can keep runningright. And another one, as we're
mentioning receivers, because of course,yes foreign receiver here, the Lee got
Johnny Wolfson. Yes, one hefell like a tight end, but he
can. He's slid getting the jumpball and everything. I think that's a

(32:07):
solid. He's gonna be solid forPhilly. Yes. And then of course
give some love. Brendan Rice,the son of Jerry Rice, gets strapped
in the seventh round to the Chargers. So there were there were a lot
of legends, kids that were eithergoing into the draft next year or we're
in the draft, and the Coltsgetting the Donnie Mitchell and the second round
was to steal for him. Theyjust got an insurance, They just got

(32:29):
another piece to play with. MichaelPittman junior. Yes, the stretch for
receivers was honestly, first round,Ricky Pursall going to the forty nine ers.
Yeah, that was stretch, Like, I'm like, I see why,
but I think he stretched with him. But yeah, I just it

(32:51):
felt like a good graft, agood draft, right, and then Arizona
taking the in the third round pickeighteen, Tip Raemon Tighten from Illinois.
I think that was a stretch forArizona taking him. There's a couple other
Titans I think should have gone beforehim, but hey, I mean they
did get Marvin Harrison Junior so well. And we set it going in.

(33:14):
We say it every time that wehave a lot of big guys coming out
into the draft. We hope it'sthe year of big guys. And for
the first time in forever, itwas the year a big man. Well,
I think let's talk about the bighighlight. It was the first time
in a very long time that ittook fifteen picks for a defensive player to
go absolutely yes, and six quarterbackswere taken in the first twelve picks.

(33:36):
Yep. Historic and we'll never seeit again. That is also why I
think that this draft will go downas a repeat of the twenty thirteen draft,
which, if everybody knows, wasone of the worst drafts that we
ever had. Interesting, but I'monly saying that because of those two statistics,
that's why. But I'm also avery defensive minded guy. Yes,

(34:00):
honestly, Leot lot on fifteen definitelywas a surprise. I think, yeah.
I mean, granted, I thinkhe was the second best edge player.
I thought Alas was better Dallas.I also thought will be within further
than that, like he would havegone twelve to thirteen. I think them

(34:21):
going that early was wild. JC. Lath going, Yeah, that
one I had a question mark on, and unfortunately it was the Titans that
took him. I was not readyfor Brock be taken by the Raiders.
They need tighten the line, butI don't think Jase Latham was their answer.

(34:46):
I think, oh if Shawn knewthe the tackle from Penn State their
yes, yes, absolutely. ButI also wanted to see the Jests screw
was the first round pick because theyget pissed when they do. It's kind
of funny. Sorry Jets fans,No, I'm not sorry, Jets fans.
Sorry, I'm sorry. Honorable mentionfor biggest fumble of the draft as

(35:09):
well. The Green Bay Packers.Oh yeah, Jordan Morgan, Oh god
man, the US sitting there watchingthat pick and then the one she's head
in the crowd getting lit up byeverybody around the Lions. Insane, But

(35:31):
gentlemen, I enjoyed the draft.It was great. I'm happy we were
able to keep our traditional lives sittingand watch it. Ony went to the
Jets. Jayden Key, the safetyfrom Alabama. Yes, will he do
something? We hope, but weshall highly hope he does. We shall

(35:53):
see, gentlemen. Continuing on ourfootball talk, we are past springtime,
but we got to talk about springfootball because we never really talked about it.
State spring game. I haven't reallypaid attention other than the Ohio State
spring game because well, this OhioState spring game was a primetime spring game.

(36:15):
It was the primetime spring game.Yeah, and then Michigan was the
next week. I didn't look tooI will say this, based on what
I've seen news wise, I can'tsay watching spring games. If if Ohio
State speaking Big ten wise, ifOhio State does not somehow come out on

(36:39):
top, whether that be CFP,you know, national champ or national runner
up, there's going to be alot of corrections going on in this great
state of Ohio. But I willalso say this, keeping tabs with Michigan.
What the fuck are they doing?They did not hire the right guy.

(37:02):
He's literally just trying to take whatHarball did fucking lost his name already
what coach Harball tried to do exceptit's not working. And now, granted
I did catch bits and pieces oftheir spring game on social media, but

(37:22):
even their grade was like, Michigancould be in for a world of hurt.
Yeah. Another team that I couldsay is the West Coast teams are
coming hot and hungry to come overhere and try to beat some big ten
ass gentlemen. I think the teamthat a lot of people are not going

(37:43):
to talk about that needs to betalked about for this upcoming season is a
team you don't want me to say, but Nebraska. They picked up Riola.
They might be mister irrelevant. Theypicked up Do I think Mount Ruld
does anything crazy? No, butthey picked up Mount Ryola or Ryan Ryola,

(38:05):
Dylan Raylay, Jesus christ, Ican't pronounce names, Jesus fuck,
but they got Dylan number one overall. I don't know why. He must
have just jumped around and did theuh well, he was gonna go to
Ohio State and he was going togo to Georgia. I think he's jumping
around and doing the Monrasca. Oh. Absolutely, He's got connections from Nebraska
to see uncle or whatever work inNebraska. Yeah. So hard to talk

(38:30):
about this stuff is because now kidsare just going for money. Yep.
By the transferports closed so they can'tleave, which is why House. They
has five quarterbacks on the roster,and this is gonna be interesting throughout the
season. Yeah, I'm not thrilledwith some of those quarterbacks. We got
time, absolutely time. But I'llsay for the rest of the United States,

(38:59):
George is probably going to come outon top. Georgia looked good in
their spring game, and Alabama isrunning Okay, they are not the same
Alabama that we've seen under Nick Sabanthe catch Alabama glimpses of their Yes,
they're starting to revert back pre Sabing, So that two thousand eight, two

(39:24):
thousand six, two thousand and sevenera. Now it's two thousand and seven
I think or eight. Two thousandand eight was his first year, right,
and then two thousand and nine theygot clicking because they made it to
a BCS game but lost to Utah. I will yeah, I will say
this, Actually that was two thousandand eight. My bad. Two thousand

(39:45):
nine they made it to the NationalChampionship against Texas. Georgia is going to
become the next overall SEC powerhouse.Uh. They did the right thing by
extending very smart for two years thirteenmil first coach you get within the templus
as well as I think we're sleepingon one SEC team. Tennessee had a

(40:14):
really really good recruiting year. I'mnot sleeping interesting. Tennessee had a really
good recruiting year. Tennessee did goodrecruiting. I caught a bit of Missouri
springball. They're not bad, butI don't know if it's going to be
like this past year, but they'reat least gonna show that, Hey,
we're still gonna be Bowl eligible.Oklahoma and Texas or in the SEC now

(40:38):
correct, Oklahoma didn't look too shabby. Texas, yeah, Texas is still
doing Texas things. Which is Iread? Uh yeah, well yeah,
obviously obviously. But I was readingsomething within the SEC, like an SEC
prediction preview Georgia out on top Ione and think Georgia is gonna win the

(41:00):
SEC this year. I'll come outand make that prediction. But there's gonna
be four other teams ahead of Alabamjust four mm hmmm. I haven't read
the fowler as to who, sothey will probably predict Texas. One almost
said, I said, off,you beat Ohio State and Ohio State that

(41:22):
wasn't a true Ohio State team,right, yeah, because we have weapons
leave. But anyway, we're notbringing that scarback. Like I said,
I think Missouri will still be solid, but to put Missouri ahead of Alabama,
I don't think so. Like Isaid Caitlin de Board, going to
Bama, it's not gonna be likeAlabama's glory days with saving it's gonna go.

(41:44):
I think they're gonna fall back tothe pre but I still think they're
but they're gonna have like three fourlosses. They're still gonna be with them
there. If someone tried to sellme Florida might be coming making a comeback
this year, and I'm like withwho now not in the swamp who?
Yeah, maybe Texas and and themcan best all of them. Mike Elco

(42:07):
there, but he's got to cleanup Jimbo's mess. Which best of luck
to Mike Alco. I really likedhim and respecting him when he was at
Anyways, I did catch some ofthe Syracuse spring game. I didn't watch
that. You watch some of theSyracuse games. Syracuse game, and uh,

(42:29):
I watched my Colum McCord. Howdo you feel, well, they're
predicting Syracuse to do really well.Well, of course they're predicting him to
do well. They think someone wenton the limps that Syracuse could win the
whole ACC. I don't know whosaid that. I'm like, we'll put

(42:50):
a pin in that for now.Let's see how everything else in a couple
of course, granted they came outwith that, and then the other a
SEC teams played, because I thinkSyracuse was one of the first ACC teams
to have their spring game, andthen everyone else like Duke havether Yeah,
Douke have their spring game. NorthCarolina had their spring game and everything.
Cal McCord when I watched him,Yeah, everything I picked said about McCort

(43:15):
like, I'm not bashing the guyI comic coord played. I'll say I
wasn't bashing him. I'm like,he just needs quickly pick up quick He
finally figured out, hey, ifmy number one option isn't open, throw
to the next guy and he getrid of it. Quickly he finally started
to figure that out. I'm like, you're finally figuring. And the Syracuse
line wasn't too shabby. They didblock granted spring ball. We'll see when

(43:37):
it's actual full long game comic coorddidn't look bad, but I'm and then
the commentators were like, oh,look at him when he did these game
leaning drives, these game winning drives, these game winning drivers, and I'm
like, yes, but he alsoforced uff under pressure a lot. He
needs to not learn not to forceunder pressure. So they put him in

(44:00):
some pressure situations. He's actually scramblingout of the pocket to keep a play
alike, he didn't do that ata Hall of State. In my opinion,
he's actually finding more guys that andhe had guys up, actually wide
up, and then he threw tohim instead of, oh, this guy's
wide up, and while Marvin Harrison'sin triple coverage, let me throw the
Harrison. You got the guy wideopen, throw to him, dump it

(44:22):
off. So Cole McCord transferred ahot state and everyone bashed on him.
Okay, well, realistically, ColeMcCord to Syracuse I think will benefit him
that this is what I think heneeded to transfer him. Transferring to Syracuse
I think will help him be asolid quarterback and maybe tried to be NFL
ready at the next level. Asfor Syracuse winning the ACC, I'm not

(44:47):
saying anything yet. Now. Grantedthey'll be built. I think that they're
gonna be Bowl eligible, but Idon't think they're gonna win the whole ACC
conference. I think there's a coupleother teams. Again, this is their
We'll do our predictions later into theyear, after summer camp and everything,
probably August, oh for sure August. But I will say I watched Kyle

(45:09):
McCord. He definitely learned. Hey, I didn't fit in that of host
State because he we ran a differentscheme than what I'm used to and b
I need to learn if my numberone option ain't open, I need to
get rid of it quickly. Andhe started to develop it quickly in the
spring. Well, there wasn't also, and he goes down since there was,

(45:32):
there was small uh talks after theSyracuse spring game that was Kyle McCord
Ohio State ready. The answer tothat is no, absolutely, And I
said that when we went to thehost station. So I'm like, McCord
is not ready. Did McCord leavefor his own behalf to become let's say,

(45:59):
the next uh Rock Purty. Thatwasn't a question that came about,
and a lot of guys said,if Syracuse has a decent year, he
could. Absolutely. His stats fromOhio State are still fine. Yeah,
it's just the finishing aspect and thepick apart is what I think drove him

(46:24):
out. And it came full circleafter hearing that commotation about it and then
going back and watching some highlights fromthe spring game, I was like,
that is not a comm accord thatI saw one bit play at the Ohio
State universe. He couldn't take theheat that it takes to be the starting
quarterback at Ohio State. Couldn't doit. He couldn't. We all kind

(46:45):
of limpsed it a starting quarterback ese. Absolutely, we all kind of glimpsed
at it for a second, especiallyafter that Western Western Kentucky game, and
we said, is this guy OhioState and then single handedly drove against Notre
Dame in a tighter game than whatit should have been. Yeah one,
and we go, yeah, heis. And then the rest of the

(47:06):
season had just dwindled and it definitelyshowed against Michigan absolutely, because that last
past he stepped up. I'm like, just run and he forced him Larvin
Hares and I'm like, you hadan up and pocket take the yards.
I don't care if you can't run, get the first down, slide.
You're stopping the clock for the chainsto adjust quickly get a playoff. So

(47:30):
that's where I think I can actuallyconfidently say was kl McCord Ohio State.
No, No, But I cansay that in conversations with sliding gentlemen,
we need to talk about these guardians. They are doing okay, they're not
sliding. I don't want to talkabout what the score is right now because

(47:50):
I expected this and I predicted that. This morning it was eight to seven.
Last I checked, it is eleveneight and we are down. But
I'd have expected it. This isa Tigers team that I think think that
a preseason people were talking that thiscould be a Detroit team that wins the
Central. It's like I put thatover there, Yes, this is a
Detroit team that was talked about Detroitto win a Central. This is a

(48:13):
good team. Is Central is verycompetitive. Other than the White Sox,
all of them have eighteen How toput their socks on. They have not
gentlemen. Everyone in the Central exceptfor the Chicago White Sox are five hundred,
even the Crown team. It's insane. And they're they're third in the
division. Well yeah, but hold, they're third in the Central. They

(48:38):
are third in the Aos. Minnesota'sseconda they are twenty and fourteen. They
have a better they have a betterpercentage. They have a better percentage by
point oh five. Icky, Isaid that because not gonna lie. Detroit
has been clicking too, so Ithought Detroit was actually second. Both Minnesota
and Kansas City are deemed as twoand a half. Okay, but that

(49:00):
only eating up. But Cleveland isthe two and a half over both of
them, the five over Detroit andthe fifteen over Chicago. Let's yeah,
Now here's the conversation that we needto have about the Guardians. The Guardians
are gonna cool off starting now.Sounds like they already are starting to.
They have taken some losses. Theyhad two straight with in Houston and then

(49:22):
having the Angels at home, butthey're on three straight and then they're gonna
lose one tonight unless they somehow pullit out of their ass to score five
in the bottom of the ninth butI would love it. I would live
leaf love it. And we wentfour strings. But we're still winning the
series matchups that least. We maylose the game here and there, but
we're not losing the series. Wedidn't win against the Astros. We didn't

(49:43):
win the series with the Astros.We didn't win the series with the Braves,
but those are yeah, I expectedthat. With the fact that we
got out of Atlanta with one,we have to be happy. Oh.
Absolutely, we got out of Houstonwith one. I think we should have
came out of Houston with two,which if you look at this as we
should a game out of Houston.They're winning the games they're supposed to.

(50:04):
They're winning the games they're supposed to. They're winning games that people don't think
that they should be winning. That'sall that matters. They're playing great.
Let's talk about the big one.They walked into Boston and ship all over
Boston. They took first thing.So we have played both the series is
against Boston and we took the series. We took both series, both of
them, and by the way,we are five and seven, five and

(50:28):
two with all of the games againstBoston this year five and two games.
They thought Boston was going to bethe best team in that would be the
East, one of the best teamsin the East, even though the Yankees
will Yankees would be deemed as thebest in the East, but they were
going to be the second best teamin the Dude, the Yankees are even
they're having struggles right now because they'rethey have the problem with that they rely

(50:52):
on their bats and their bats arenot flying because it's too early in the
season. It's too cold where they'replaying. But I digress. I think
we take two away from the Tigersthis week because I think we play them
only three games. Yes, Ithink so. And then who do we
have this weekend? I gotta look. Sorry, you're fine. Yeah,

(51:13):
I got you too, Okay,white socks. Oh, then we're fine.
We're gonna get another three this weekin Chicago. Well, okay,
we'll take two. Maybe we liveone to Chicago in Chicago. I can't
drop one to Chicago though, Butyou're in Chicago. You have to give
them to play the Rangers. Ohyeah, we gotta go play the Range.

(51:34):
If they take one away from theRangers, I'll be happy. Yeah,
you gotta be happy with that.But we have Yes, we have
three with the drug. We havefour with Chicago this weekend. Okay,
so we need to take two orthree, Well, we need to take
three. I feel if we somehowcan get this sweep with four, we're
insane and we're amazing. The problemis we have Carrasco pitching for one of

(51:55):
them. So, and I loveCarlos Carrasco. I think he's a great
guy to pick up. I don'tthink he started up well at all this
season. Thereaba, Carlos Krasko hasbeen through the fucking ringer. Okay,
this man has literally been through everythingat this point. The fact that he
is still playing baseball, I amso proud of. Yes, I'm thankful

(52:17):
that he's coming back, that he'sback in Cleveland. Do I think he
retires a guardian abs of freaking Lotewybecause I don't see anywhere else he's going.
So, actually was salon Dawlon earlierbecause we talked a bit, and
I'm like, I love Cookie,but I won't be surprised if we try
to call somebody up and Cookie getsbumped down to a relief for now.
So he gets back in the swingof thing he needs to and it's I

(52:38):
don't know the sitting down at Columbusright now. I guess they're debating on
calling up. We need pictures andwell, the reason I'm telling you that
I think we're gonna cool off isbecause of Kwang going on the I l
yeah, Kawan getting hurt's not good. Was the guy hurt? Kwan's the
guy right now. He is.He is what kept our bats fire and

(53:00):
they're still warm. But I thinkthey're going to start going off for the
fact that Kwan is gone. Hopefullyjay Ram can pick up and fill in
because he's had an all right beginningof the season, but it's not what
we are used to with jay Ram. We were blessed with some of the
other seasons that jay Ram has had. And that's just me being a poor,
a poor poor Guardians fan and expectingmore out of a well market team.

(53:23):
The Naylor brothers. Proud of theNailor brothers, even though last no,
no, no, no, thatthe Naylor brothers need to step up.
Well, Josh steps quite a bit. Bo was great. Yeah,
that was a great but he needsto keep it consistent exactly. I think
the Nailors are going to have goodand bad days. We saw bad days

(53:45):
when they were playing in Well whenthey had LA last week, no LA
came to us. But when wehad LA this weekend. There was a
time where there was a freaking popup in the foul ball territory and both
the nail come fucking running up downthe first baseline. Ball drops right between
them and they look at each otherlike, fucking fucking dumbass, why didn't

(54:07):
you grab it? You're like,oh, you grab it. So they
there's a lot of miscommunication in thefield and there's a lot of miscommunication going
around that is just the preseason issues. When the average age for the teams
like twenty four. Yeah, thereis. There's a lot of pre or
pre like stride issues that have Baserunning was the biggest issue yesterday. We

(54:29):
should have blew that. We shouldhave Detroit. We should have blew Detroit
out, Yestertay, Jesus can't talk. We should have had way more points
than to yesterday. We really shouldhave more than two runs, be honest.
Uh, Detroit's a good team.It's hard. Detroit's good, but
we had at least five issues inthe base paths. Yeah, it happens.

(54:49):
I get it. But at somepoint you gotta think you're in the
major leagues. You gotta be ableto be thinking on your feet a little
bit, right if if you're inany affiliate with the Guards, you it's
I mean, we could attest tolast year when we went to Lake County
and I looked at the roster,said, there's one guy that's as old
as me. Yeah. The restof the guys look like they just graduated

(55:14):
high school. This is a greatfarm league to be in because it's so
young. Yes, I think everybodysays it's a problem with Cleveland. I
don't think that's going to be aproblem because if we can keep shipping guys
out, we will probably see inour lifetime the Guardians put it together.

(55:36):
I hope, I hope it's thisyear. I really do. I think
it's this year. But yeah,could I see a trip. I'm wearing
the playoff Baseball in Cleveland. I'mwearing the sixteen World Series right now,
playoff Baseball in Cleveland. I justlove to see. I'd love to see
another alcs I. Cleveland will makehistory this year be one of the youngest

(56:01):
teams. Absolutely, No, thecity of Cleveland will make history this year.
The Calves. No, no,no, you want to know what
the history is. Chris knows exactlywhat the history as it has been so
fucking long since all three teams inCleveland have made playoffs in the same year.
I want to say it was likethe eighties or the nineties. Ship.

(56:22):
Yeah, yes, because every otheryear it's always been two of one,
the two, but then one thatwas left and then one was left
out because every time that the Brownsand the Guards make it, the Calves
never do. Every time that theCalves and the Guards do, the Browns
don't. Every time that the Brownsand the Calves do, the Guardians,
which are the Indians, didn't.Huh. I'm telling you that now that
is happening this year. But alsoextra the Cleveland Monsters, the AHL affiliate

(56:47):
or the Blue Jackets, are theyor they c hl AHL because then the
ware and then age Anyway, Clevelandsports making playoffs and the Guards make it
and we could have more. Youknow, it's gonna be a huge party
in Cleveland if they do make it. Yes, sure, absolutelyies bocsing on

(57:13):
the three majors, but also Igot to give the Monster some absolutely but
that's That's something that also needed tobe talked about was the fact that they
will be making history this year.I see the Guards getting in will be
a wild card spot. Maybe itcould be. They have a lot of
baseball left. Yeah, there's alot of bases. We have over one
hundred and forty games stold again right, Remember it's one hundred and sixty two
game marathon. The words are theWise and Paul James. They have one

(57:38):
hundred and thirty seven one hundreds shouldbe twenty three thre So we played thirty
five games, yes, yes,so no, that'd be one hundred and
twenty seven, one hundred and twentyseven more games ago. But this is
just me being positive, trying tostay positive and happy and all that because

(57:59):
I'm like and again, every teamhas their slow moment. Personally, I'd
rather hit the slow moment early inthe season because then you can make the
deep run. Cleveland Baseball always dolittle slam in the early season, probably
before All Star break, after AllStar break. Last conversation that needs to
be brought about baseball at least KyleManzardo. I think it was too early

(58:22):
of a move. They needed him, They had to move him up.
I think it's still early. Idon't think he's Yes, it's only been
one game. It's only been onegame. It's his first game in Cleveland.
He's playing against a good Detroit teamthat is about the same age as
him, that is playing outstanding rightnow. We haven't seen that in Detroit

(58:42):
for quite a while, since manyof their retire players. So also,
as he mentioned Detroit, did youguys see their City Connect uniforms? No?
I did not. Are they cleanor they they are really shabby?
They are I'm digging them because theygot the Motor City on them, had
a lot of going on. Iactually shared it within the podcast media pages

(59:02):
too. I'm gonna be real withyou. Why that is not a baseball
jersey? Yeah? What the MotorCity Detroit, Detroit, Tiger City Connect
jerseys? That is not a Thatis not a baseball jersey. You know
what jersey that is? Give meyour guest, Chris, I guess when
I saw it? Yeah, basketball, don'ton? You want to guess?

(59:24):
Hold on, give me a guess. You don't even have to look at
it. You can look at itthough. That's what she said here,
I got it. There's only onething that screams to me. I like
the look of it, don't getme wrong, but it's a different that
is not that is not a baseballWhat is it though? I want you

(59:49):
on the same wavelength as me.I think you're on it. You know
exactly what sport and I think youdo too. I know what wave length
across. Come on, get betweenthe MLS. It is the MLS.
That is an MLS jersey. AnMLS jersey. That is a soccer jersey.

(01:00:10):
Yeah, that is not a baseballjersey. I could almost attest if
it was longer sleeves. It couldbe, uh like the Major League Lacrosse.
Oh yeah, yeah, does Detroithave a soccer team? They do
not confirmed MLS is coming to Detroit. That that uh looks like an MLS

(01:00:32):
jersey. That is the MLS team'sjersey coming in coming soon. Just to
let you know. Tampa Bay Cityconnect jerseys. Those ones are really sharp.
They brought back to throwback of allthe colors when they were to the
Devil Rays. And they even havea race skateboard too that has a description.
Find a description, share with youguys. But yeah, I shared
it on the media page just Facebook, Instagram, Twitter check it out or

(01:00:52):
x check it out to beauty.Okay, brother, I want a quick,
like three minute rundown on hockey.You and me, we do that
real quick, and then we shouldget into the Finalsacky two one brother,
what are you thinking about hockey rightnow? Scared of one team round?
Right now? Carolina and the Rangers. Second intermission, three two Carolina.
Hopefully it keeps breaking in the knesfavor. But we'll see. I lost

(01:01:16):
one game in the first round inthe series I lost with Nashville. Vancouver
actually made sure, Hey, weneed a Canadian team to make yes,
because not gonna lie. Nashville lookedgood. Yeah so, but yeah Canes
Rangers intermission right now, three totwo. And then we got the start

(01:01:37):
of the series with Dallas and Coloradonine thirty on the ESPN and Peter de
Bord never lost the game seven.He is eight and zero in his coaching
career. And that Dallas team isruling because I had a hunch of whoever
won between Vegas and Dallas most likelywould win the West. It's proven right
now. I am scared that theBruins are gonna go farther than they should.

(01:01:59):
That is one thing that I'm fearfulof number two. I am not
usually lose the first game. Iam not number two. We will finally
have a Canadian team in a conferencefinal. It is guarantee that we will
have a Canadian team in the conferencefinal. The question is which Canadian team?
You think it will? Not bethe Long Dongs. I'm telling you
now, I think it will bethe Canucks. I'll be honest. Yeah,

(01:02:22):
you think it's bracket You and Iare first and second. Yes,
shout out with my girlfriend. She'sin third place where she took Rangers all
the way and win Shalker and thenbeing in's last place. We only had
four people joined. But hey,we're making it fun. It matter.
We're gonna try it next year.I had no idea, he texted me
before to the last second thing whenI pushed everything, and we're gonna try

(01:02:43):
to push for We're gonna push inmore next year. It's just this is
a trial run. How about that, this is a try run, but
still doing good. I watched Vancouverin Nashville the other night. Yes,
and I kid you not, I'mwatching that Vancouver hockey team. I am
having the uh. I'm watching thatand I'm like this could be the this

(01:03:04):
could be the time Vancouver can makeit a deep run and we probably could
see that a Canadian team in theStanley Cup final and it's going to be
Vancouver. Interesting, it'd be interesting. The Oilers have a problem with performing
in times where they should win yep. And I think that this is one

(01:03:24):
of those positions that even though they'rethe two seed going against the one seed,
they are in a position that theyshould win yep, and they will
not do that. I believe theCanucks will go in. I think Stars,
the Canucks, the Panthers, andI think hopefully the Hurricanes get there.
But yeah, right now, that'swho I have because I had Nashville
and Edmonton, but no, Ihad Edmonton in Dallas. But I think

(01:03:46):
it is Vancouver Dallas in the WesternConference final. Because JT. Miller's plans,
it's heating up. Keep an eyeout. I'm ready to watch a
little bit more hockey and see whatthe final. Absolutely, it's definitely heating
up. Let's see absolutely, andon that we will go to break.

pepsi. That pepsi is bad.That pepsi peach is trash. That was
bad. That is going to bethe worst peach product we taste this summer.
Like, I understand what they triedto mimic. They tried to mimic
because a lot of people for someincoherent, fucking psych wored reason like mixing

(01:05:16):
pepsi and Crown Royal peach. Yes, yep, so they're trying to answer

one. Yeah, I'm trying toprep myself for this great dB street that

(01:05:59):
we're gonna have. So my actualAFB, I'm going to call it out.

going I went to the Walleye game. I'm calling out another player. He
plays for the Wheeling Naylors. Heis a forward number seventy Dylan ha my
luck. Yeah, he's from fuckingAlberta. What do you expect? He's

(01:06:23):
Canadian? Motherfucker purposely try to bechippy the entire time. Hey, I'm
nothing wrong with chirpy. But healmost wanted to fight in the entire Walleye
team. Refs literally didn't want fightsto happen and everything, and he wasn't
one instigating all the fights. Buddy, let me fucking tell you something.
Give your fucking balls a tug,because we will beat that up. I
would have jumped onto the ice andbeat your fucking ass. Give your balls

(01:06:45):
a tug, you tip fucker,fucking hey, tip fucker chairman. Uh,
gentlemen, it's gotta be the Capitals. They're they're old, they need
to they need to restock. Anduh, I think Ov's at his time.
I think it's time for his farewelltour. I think he's gonna keep
chasing the record because he's about there, isn't he. Yeah, he's about

(01:07:08):
to the record. He's gonna getto the record. And then I think
I think we see OV. Ithink OV goes into a coaching position or
some form of some form of staffposition, either with the Capitals or somewhere
else that will take him within theCapitals organization. He's the guy. So
be on the lookout for OVI toretire whenever he gets the record, which

(01:07:30):
it's gonna be a hot minute.He's close, but not that close.
So but the Capital's brother, Ijust you can't get routed round one that
quickly, not even put one onthe board. So, Dalton, who's
your unit of the week. Theroast of Tom Brady? That is that?
That is That was the greatest thingI've ever seen on Netflix, especially

(01:07:55):
when they threw out the the RobertKraft massage joke. He hissed my pants.
I was laughing so hard because hewas so mad. Yeah, he
got pissed off. He's like,don't you know if you I hope I
didn't because I know you're watching it. I'm about an hour and a half
in. Yeah you haven't seen ityet. Well I spoiled it for you.
Oh I got to learn and everythingbecause I cracked up laughing at that,

(01:08:15):
and Tom Brady's like, you haven'tmentioned that again. I'm going to
hurt you. And I'm like,I saw that. Hurt that I sa
he came out and mentioned that hedeflated the fucking footballs and everything. Oh
yeah, weew that was he fuckingknew that. So Chris, who's af
you? And you're going to killme? And I am here for it

(01:08:39):
because I'm going to churn my chairand purposely sarahut a fucking monitor you got
for a face right now, I'mright here. But my absolute fucking unit
is a baseball team. It isa team that is currently in third place
in their division, not within alor in their division. My AFU is

(01:09:01):
the fucking Oakland Athletics. What thefuck fuck you? Yes, granted they're
seventeen and twenty. They're playing spoiler. They went to the Yankees, they
were supposed to get swept, splitthe series, split the series with another
team, actually won the series witha couple others. Right now, they're
playing Texas courses. Granted, TexasRangers are good, they've lost two in

(01:09:26):
the series. Fucking score twenty runson the Marlins, even though Miami's having
an off year. But right nowwe are picking up major league vibes on
the Athletics for their final year inOakland before they become a team namerdacted next
year to be the A's or theAthletics or what chairman loves calling the Traveling
Circus. But the Oakland Athletics arereal life major league team right now,

(01:09:54):
and I am one hundred percent behindit. And if they could play spoiler
for the rest of the year,granted, everyone thought they were probably gonna
win like twenty or thirty games,Hey, seventeen and twenty right now,
not too shabby. They might winmore than that and we'll see. Yeah
again, it's early, so myaf you and it it hurts because of

(01:10:20):
who they're playing this week, butthe Detroit Tigers of my AFEW of the
Week. You guys want to knowwhy? No, do you know what
their home run selly is in thedugout? No, Chris, do you

have the pizza scepter from that littlebecause the guy that owns the Detroit Tigers

(01:10:44):

And last night when they gave upthe home run at the beginning of the
game, they had the fucking pizzasceptor. Pizza Pizza I I I'm trying
to have it pulled up so youcan come and see it. But look
at it. It is literally threepizzas, like three fucking like stuffed pizzas

(01:11:05):

Yep, Yeah, you know Ijust guess that. Yeah, yeah,
literally, so downtown Detroit. Yougot fillmore, Mam' spaghetti shout out,

(01:11:28):
not a bout of a restaurant.Little see Little Caesar's Pizza headquarters is the
big tower, and then the othertheater they got which I'm drawing the blank
across the street a little park areafor everything, and then co America Park
in ford Field. And on theother side of the Inner State is Little
Caesars Arena where the Red Wings andthe Pistons play. Yes, so Little

Caesars Arena. Not shabby arena anyway, but that that's greatest selling here,
greatest selling there. I'm ready tosee the other ones come out, but
it it had to be brought up. So all right, gentlemen, are
you ready for DB's three? Hey, now, don't you knows? And

(01:12:23):
all the other Wisconsin and sayings.I'm so pissed that I had to pick
this fucking place. I really justwanted to move on to something else,
but my search led me to thisplace, which isn't too bad if you
know that it's Wisconsin's favorite fucking burgerjoint. Yeah, I only know of
fuck two of them in Ohio iswhere I know. There's one in Finlay,

(01:12:45):

attest to this. I've had ita handful of times. I've had enough
items that I can do this.So but we can do a team mme

(01:13:32):
redacted and just do the one Ireally wanted to do. Oh we need
to kick this thing off, right. I was gonna go with the old
taco bell. Have we done tacobell? Have? Because I did burger
joints first shape? You tell me. We got to get it figured out,

(01:13:53):
all right, head, it iswhat tacobo them? Here we go,
yo, ketdo taco bell. Okay, taco bell would be a bell,
So I cald switch. It's allright because I got it. So

I have my number one. Obviously, two and three I could react,
but I could do taco bell.So number three what wasn't I did

(01:14:38):
for number three? I switched itup usually I did. Okay, So
my drink, I'll just come outand say Baja Blast freezy if they had
it. If not, the fuckingfreezy, because every fucking time I got
to talk about they're like, yeah, the freezes ain't working. So I
get a regular because I want togo to the one and Marion go to
I mean go to the one inDelaware More. They so fucking say it

(01:15:01):

So number three I get four beanburritos forced off tacos Baja no ices.
Number two, which I get mynumber two now because is now my number

(01:15:21):

I'd hate to be your fucking toilet. Oh yeah fu oh yeah. So
number two Taco Party pack twelfth tacos, Yeah, Baha freeze a regular,
Like I said, I'd love thefreeze, but Taco Bell fucking hates me.

(01:15:43):
And then sometime I like throw inthe little crunch trap supreme, yes
just a kick in, Yes,yes, yes, yes, yes,
yes, but my number one,which is my go to? And I
shit, you know I said thisbefore, I'll say it on air again,
Taco Bell fucking listen. I canpitch you a fucking meal deal with
this, so you can compete withfucking McDonald's and all their famous celebrity bullshit

(01:16:08):
meals with whatever. You know.So anyways, my number one the nacho
cheese, Dorito's Locos tacos, threeof the cool Ranch, because you gotta
have a perfect fucking balance in theDorito's Taco universe. I miss him.
I fucking do too, and Ilegit didn't eat out Taco Bell for almost

(01:16:32):
for three and a half years becauseof it. I went on fucking strike
until he convinced me and said justget a Taco twelve pack, and I'm
like, okay, So three nachocheese, three cool Ranch, Baja freeze,
and then I throwing a cinnamon twistand time to time when they had
the nacho price, I grab anacho fry because notcho pries ain't too bad.

(01:16:53):
Honestly, I would say that friessuperior. Yes, but I fucking
shit you not. When Taco Bellsaid we got rid of the cool range
Tacos, I said fuck you,and they didn't go there for like three
and a half years. It tookmajor convincing for me to come back to
Taco Bell, and I am stillfucking pissed out. Then I will call
them out on fucking social media too, and say, hey, bring this

(01:17:16):
back, call it the Chris Mikeon the MIC's fucking deal. We'll make
something happen Taco Bell till then Chairmantake it, because this microphone might blow
up if I keep talking. Chairman, I'll make excuse me. I'll make
one rule for you. Only oneof them can be a breakfast item,
because I know one of us aregoing to have a breakfast item. Oh
brother, yeah, I do haveto have a breakfast item on this One

(01:17:39):
of mine is a breakfast item.And I was gonna say, I was
gonna say that to this guy,but I know this guy. Recently,
I just figured out this guy doesn'tlike eggs. Now, it all makes
great fucking sense. It all makessense. So we'll talk about number three.
Then we'll just make number three.Yet, brother, have you had
that steak crunch wrap breakfast steak crunchabsolutely double steak? My god, so

(01:18:02):
never in my life. So kindof got me on that. She was
like, I don't like their eggsbecause she doesn't like the pre pre mixed
or the carton. Negro gets herof college too, not understandable. So
she gets it steak crunch trap,no eggs, you get the full steak
flavor. Wait, so just steakthat chipole sauce and a hash brown and

(01:18:25):
some cheese. Yes. I don'tknow why, but it works when you
when you need it, it's there. The eggs balance it sounds it is
salt overload though. Yeah, youneed the eggs to balance it. But
that steak steak breakfast contrap. Iwill get eggs in it, steak breakfast

(01:18:46):
countrap. Then you get cinnabons onthe sidebon pockets of fucking splooge in the
mouth. Life changing. I donot get their coffee. Their coffee is
garbage. I have not had theircoffee. I didn't want to try it
is not good. The same aboutsomething else that got rid of. But
continue, Yes, but we'll dothat, and then I will get a

(01:19:06):
breakfast potato to grow. The breakfastpotato to grow. Have you ever had
it? Or no? It's thegrilled breakfast burrito. You has the potato
breakfast burrito. That's what it is. I remember, yeah, I remember
it was called that. I thinkit's called something. Yeah. Fire.
It's the cheapest item for their breakfast. It's like a dollar forty. Don't
ask the fact that I know thatby heart, because we know that that

(01:19:30):
conversation, we need to talk aboutthe fact that I do miss the waffle
taco. But that is a it'snot even the waffle taco. You could
get breakfast tacos. No, butI do want to talk about the fact
the fact that I missed the waffletaco. I just wanted to bring that
out. Is so number two,Chris, you're on the vibe. We're
getting six and six soft in crunchytacos. Back in the day, though,
we'd get the core ranch do Rito'slogos tacos for the six crunchy in

(01:19:57):
the soft and then you drop themin the soft. Best idea you could
have ever done you double the tacoyou save your life. That's some fucking
stone or drunk ass ship right there. I love it. Some fat ass
right there is what I could callit. You get that with a baja
no ice and then you just kindof tuck in another pack of those cinnamon
delights. I fucking love those things. I don't care what you say.

(01:20:19):
Something about the warm cream, likethe cream frosting in the middle and the
word cream. Yeah, the frostingin the middle for some reason, with
the nice cinnamon around it. It'samazing best known that you could have just
because just because I know, Iknow Sarah doesn't listen to this podcast.
And it was in the past.I dated a girl that used to work
at Taco bell Oh. I atethe fuck out of those things. It

(01:20:42):
made me so sick, those likethe remember how they used to have the
extra large Yes, she would fillan extra large cup full of cinnamon lights
fresh and the cream tastes good,just saying all right, so I'm just
gonna give you an order that isjust a bunch of throwbacks and things that

(01:21:04):
they're discontinued because there were a limitedtime. I don't that I would eat
together. My number one, it'smultiple throwbacks. So number one on that
for my number one is first thing, the grilled stuffed nacho. Do you
remember the grilled stuff nacho? Ihad it once. I think the stacker's
better. I don't think the stackeris better. I like I only say
that because it's cheaper. The stackerwas cheaper, but the grilled, the

(01:21:28):
grilled stuffed nacho was literally a hugeass tortilla. It was the case to
be a tortilla. And they foldedit like a triangle, and it had
beef, it had the strips,it had cheese, cheese, sauce,
and then they grilled it all.It was the best thing in the world.
Now, to add on to that, the naked chicken chips very much
a lost item in my life.Naked. Oh yes, that is a

(01:21:48):
very lost item in my life.And I am crying every day I brought
them back because they tried to replacethat filling hole, that void with the
freaking chicken wings, which we're gone. But they will never fill the void.
I got way too many bad vibeson those chicken wings. Chicken chips
were better. The chicken chips wereabsolutely better. They will never fill that
void. That void is stuck thereuntil they bring them back. I want

(01:22:13):
them back to Really, I'm tellingyou said chicken wings at Taco Bell they're
not that bad, all right,Okay, the wings are not bad.
Now again the chips are better.Let me just snort this other line of
we're telling you the chips are better, but the wings were not bad.
So back to it. Naked chickenchips, double cheese fire life changing.
Remember when they had like a burritoor something with those in them too fucking

(01:22:33):
amazing. Yes, Then the nakedchicken chiloopa where it was the chicken for
the shell, absolute banger, thebacon one. The bacon one was good
and last but not least to throwit on top of Baja blast snow ice
and uh mmmm, we'll throw ataco in on it too, nice crunchy

(01:22:55):
beef talco. First off, roundof applause for all the throwbacks. But
I will say you're missing the greatestone of all, and I'll get to
it on my way. I probablyforgot about it because it's so honorable.
Mention has to be that Mexican pizza. Oh yeah, the Mexican pizza was
Yeah, I'm just so glad theyactually decided to listen to the people for
once, and they brought something backlisten to the people, which they brought

(01:23:19):
back the potatoes. They need tobring back all the Doritos series again.
I would love those to come back, dude. The spicy Mancho was spicy
range Spicy Rangee wasn't bad, butit's not. The sweet chili was good,
I don't I don't think it waslimited. I liked this sweet was
good. I like sweet chili chips. But the ultimate was my number three.

(01:23:43):
If we're doing a little bit ofa throwback, was I would do
a twelve pack with six cool ranchand six nacho cheese. Okay, that's
how I would do my twelve packand all my drinks and my drinks for
all this has got to be aBaja blast, absolutely except for this one,
my number two, it would haveto be a steak, grande scrambler,
ad bacon, double egg damn twelvecinnamon Delights, two hash Browns.

(01:24:11):
And this is where I'm pissed offat Taco Bell. Yes, I had
a love relationship with Mountain Dew.Kickstart Orange man, you want to talk
about This order alone got me throughnine am classes after a Thursday morning run.
They got me through hangovers on aSaturday morning, and I would just

(01:24:35):
load this motherfucker. I'd be eatingthe fucking fire sauce packets. My buddy
Croswell shout out to you. Wewould be sitting in my fucking Honda and
I would be sucking down fucking sixsauce packets with this burrito, just trying
to get salt in my body becauseI've drank everything under the sun. All
right, get serious. My numberone and I am that I think should

(01:25:00):
get off the mobile and come backis the fucking case Rito. Do they
even still have it on the mobile? I haven't checked in a while.
I've been so mad about it.I'm also mad about how high the prices
have been at Taco Bell. ButI'd rather go to Honestly, I'd rather
go to Chipole. And that's awhole other topic. You missed one another
one that I used to get withthe case Rito. What do you got

(01:25:24):
the beefy crunch burrito? You forgotabout it? I was on the list
and Hot Frido's. Now this wasbefore case Rito's time. But I'm just
saying, if the case currito andthat was around. Brother, I'm get
both of those. What a timeto be alive. Yes, And my

(01:25:45):
sister got me on this, andI'll add it to my number one.
Yes, a chicken Casadia, doublechicken, add nacho cheese. Interesting.
That feels sloppy to me. No, it doesn't. The double chicken helps.
Okay, you get some more voidsto fill in and stuff. Oh,
I know I'm probably missing. I'vehad so much shit from Taco Bell

(01:26:08):
that that's that's really it and everythingother than my number two is with the
Baja Blast and anybody that's listening tothis podcast and ask one question of what
should I do with Taco Bell IfI don't like any of that? There's
always a safe bet in the worldof get anything that you think looks beautiful
and add the add the potatoes toit, or add the strips. Yeah,

(01:26:29):
I'm telling you now, spend thefifty cents or whatever it is,
or the forty cents or the thirtycents one put potatoes or the strips in
new thing my body, I mean'sfree to add. Yes. One new
thing my buddy got me turned ontoo, Yes, is because he bought
a Taco Bell one day. Yes, is we rolled through and he loves
that fucking grilled cheese burrito. I'mokay with it. It's inter miss for

(01:26:53):
me. It's it's okay, buthe said take the rice out, add
potato. Fucking changer. It wasso good, especially with the Baja Blast,
which if those listening, if youdidn't know, the Baja Blast was
specifically made to acquire the tape tobe paired with everything that Tacobout makes,

(01:27:15):
absolutely which is why we always saya Baja blast, gentlemen. Min My
last piece that I do have tobring up, and it's the fact that
this new canteen a menu, theCrispianada Fire. I haven't tried it yet.
It's expensive for what it is.It's really small. If you get
it in the box, it's notso bad. It lightens the blow,

(01:27:36):
but it's it's pretty darn good.So other than that, guys, you
got anything, find the words colorfrom link. It's fun piece of information.
