just great question. Claim that you'renot sober and you definitely probably are.
I watched it. She was definitelysober. Unless you're really good at playing

(01:27):
sober, that means you have aproblem, and that means a why she's
going the man that lie is better. Even if it is a lie,
that's a really good lie, rightto me that this seems like a cover
your ass, but it seems likea c y A hey, it just
whatever, you know whatever. Yeah, yeah, but gentlemen, that was

(01:52):
a flop. Speaking of things thatwill not be a flop, what's on
the mind, I mean, that'snot a flop. You're looking at me.
I'm kind of a flop. No, I'm just fucking no. That's
me going into a pool. Thatis seen a good old fashioned bike belly
flop in a long time, andI don't want to ever have one ever
again. Do you remember how fuckingpainful that shit is when you used to

(02:15):
do it off the long pier atthe lake? It hurts. I remember
that. God, that brought backsome memories. Well. Last week we
had our first week at OTAs Beautiful, did a lot of install a lot
of conditioning. We are very youngwith the Elgin Commas this year. We're
very young, slightly inexperienced, buttowards the end of the week those guys

(02:38):
were picking up really fast. Defensively. We installed everything except for maybe some
of the combo stuff that Coach Weinsleyand I want to put together beautiful Other
than that, you know, it'sgreat to have, you know, even
though they're not here right now,they've they'll always be with the fans and
stuff. It's good to have Shermansh Medium on the sideline. It's fun

(03:00):
that they're not on the opposite sidelinewhen we kicked the ship out of Carrington
last year. Yeah, but theywere middle school, so they weren't high
school. Yeah, no, they'rethey're other than Sherm's schedule kind of caught
up to them and they switched themkind of. You know, Medium's really
asking a lot of the right questionsand stuff. And I'm proud of them,

(03:21):
I really am. And well,me saying that, that's kind of
kind of fuck with my schedule becauseafter this week, guys, it's it's
balls of the wall till well,let's see how far we can go.
I don't know. I can sayNovember, I could say December. I
have no idea. Hey, younever know, but it's really nice.
I don't have anything to train for. I got a lot of people asking

(03:43):
me to go back to the Arnold. I don't know if I am,
but I do have my eyes seton going to Detroit because I could set
some Michigan records. So nice.Yeah, that's all I got. That'd
be awesome. Christ this Tuesday,it is a Tuesday Tuesday, Tuesday,

(04:06):
Monday part two, diet Monday.Wait wait wait wait normal Monday. But
no it is, but also itAll Star Break All Star Games. Tonight
home run derby was last night.Oscar Hernandez won it. Props to him,

(04:27):
Yeah, not who we wanted towin. A Hey, I like
watching ti Oscar even though now hegot paid millions of dollars to play for
a million dollar team that's gonna getswept in the wild card. We all
wanted jam one home runs. BobbyWhitten didn't do too shabby went again.
Oh no, no, it wasn'ttoo shabby of a derby. And video

(04:49):
game wise, some people already gotcollege Football twenty five and we're playing and
streaming that yesterday and everyone else hasto wait till Thursday, unfortunately, but
yes, wait till I get anew console. Me too, same.
Actually, somebody was telling me,actually, one of one of the kids
that I work with was telling methat I think it's on the Epic Game

(05:11):
Store, so I think we canbuy it for our computers. I know,
right, So I gotta look andsee if I can. Dude,
just get a gaming computer, justget good Okay, Yeah, spend a
grand on a gaming computer. Spendsfour, Well, you're gonna have to
buy extra controllers. You're gonna haveto buy the game. You're gonna have

(05:32):
to spend more money as well.So I don't know. No, I'm
fine with what I got. Iwill be the Boomer today, boomer boomer
humor, got yourselver sneakers. Igot my coffee this morning. A little
warm for chili in my book,but it's never too hot for a chili.

(05:55):
It could be one hundred and five. I'm still eating a free chili.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I'll eat free chilli. Bo
I'm going into a shop with cheapchili. It is cheap chili, but
it's decent chili. And it's hamburgers. Yes, yes, So on that
note, I'm going to move itbefore I start a war that's on the
mind, Chairman. I don't know. It's just warm outside. I don't

(06:18):
like it warm. We've had thisconversation and you just you defy all odds
of baby well big manology. Idefine all, I defy the odds of
Yeah, I don't mind it cold, but I prefer it hot. All
right, you you defy all allthings. Dude, I'm sorry, but

(06:39):
it's not a bad thing. We'renot hating today, No hate were appreciate.
So that home run derby was grand. But I think that we all
need to take away something from thathome run derby. And this is what's
truly on my mind is the factthat the home run Derby is really just
a correlation of what the Major LeagueBaseball really truly is, and that is

(07:00):
it is a long ass freaking race. And that freaking challenge last night,
I'm telling you now single handed wewas one because he just kept consistent and
he kept deep all the way through. Absolutely he didn't. He didn't freaking
blow it out all the first freakinground dropped twenty one bombs like Jay Ram
did and Bobby Witt. He keptthe consistency, he was able to win

(07:23):
it. He got the win atthe end of it. You know,
that's the reason not to be thatguy. But contextually, if we didn't
actually talk about what we were talkingabout, there's so many ways I could
have just took what you just saidabsolutely. I hate it when I blow
it out in the first round too. This sucks ass. I was like,

(07:45):
going yard. I was like,hold, dude, he's going yard.
Stop shut up, shut up?No, But yeah, that's why
I love the game of baseball isoh dude, just yeah. Who's on
first? What's on second? Idon't know he's on third? Who who
he's on first? Who's on first, who's on first? What's on second?

(08:07):
AnyWho? Yes, what's the biggestthing about the All Star Game that
we need to talk about? Thebiggest thing? Five Guardians have five all
stars. Yeah, and the problemis we need all five of those all
stars to come back rested. Kwanwill be fine. Kwan's going for some
awards. Man. Absolutely, hegot arrest. He had a little bit

(08:30):
of a break with his injury.Everybody else didn't. Jay Ram will be
fine, I'm telling you now.And jay Ram's fine. There is a
curse with the home run derby Dalton. I swear to God. So jay
Ram did it and that's it right? Yes, So who has the best
batting average right now? For theGuards? You think I give a fuck

(08:54):
what jay Ram does as long ashe gets a RBI every now and then
he needs top bams. No,he needs to hit bams runs. You
need to hit runs. His jobis bams, but his job is bombs.
That's his jab bombs and everyone elseis what Tito does best. And
when he when he can't do hisjob, we don't win no baseball.

(09:18):
And when we also have dumbasses inthe field that when balls go through their
freaking legs five hole and look likea freaking ten year old man a league.
I get pissed off five hole playingin the dirt when you throw balls.
Yeah, we're talking about you,fuckhead. Hey he's in Columbus right

(09:39):
now. Yeah, he's still throwingbeat balls in Columbus. They got beat
like sixteen to twelve. He wason the mound. We can talk about
him later. I think, andI've talked about this. He should have
had surgery. He still needs it. He needs to go get surgery.
But the problem is his contract isnot at a good point anymore. That
he will probably have to get surgeryand take a season off. Is that

(10:01):
a release point? He will haveto take a season off if he takes
surgery, and he won't get paid. His contract is at a release point.
I think you just go ahead,see what we can get from the
problem is, because of how poorlyhe's pitched, nobody's gonna want him.
They're gonna they're gonna give pennies.I I love Tristan McKenzie. I think

(10:24):
he's an amazing player. I thinkhe was a great thing for this organization.
He's in his own head, he'sgot an injury. He's young.
He's young. He's young. There'sa lot of issues that need to be
solved young, and the problem ishe's not fixing them right now. So
he what does every young kid wantto do right now? Hit bombs?

(10:48):
He doesn't really hit bombs, throwbobs, h bombs. Because of his
size, I thought he was gonnabe our version of Eroaldo's Chapman if he
could figure out how to get aspot dialed in. Oh for how long
he is Dalton just you don't haveto give me a wet dream like that.
But no, having an insane closer, you're an insane freaking average of

(11:13):
one hundred mile an hour. Yeah, on the mound starting paust gags right
now. Yeah, freaking schemes,dude, like sketch skags, gags,
sketches, wet dream he's on themountain night to lead the National League.
He's like every dude that wanted tobe a pitcher, Like, that's the

(11:33):
guy you wanted to model yourself offof? Is him? Yeah, he's
just a badass off the field andon the field. He just does not
give a fuck. He will throwit right at your fucking throat. And
I think there was an all ballwith then how many pitches he throws to
each player. If you want torattle him, you gotta hit a dinger

(11:54):
on the first pitch. Oh yeah, Like he's like I said, he
reminds me a little bit of ofuh Bower, except he can keep us
cool. Yeah, that's what hereminds me of. It's Bower and somebody
else. And I can when youhear about Bower too. Yeah, didn't
he get signed for him? Ithought they actually signed him. Did they

(12:15):
sign him? I thought they did. I can I'm looking to sign him.
I can't. I know he leftthe Japan League and he's in the
Mexico League. Yeah, he wasin the Mexican League. And then they
played the game against the Dodgers orsomebody too, or New York something like
the Dodgers. I think because hedid technology right there, we can figure
out. Yeah, I'm typing in. Yeah, I was gonna say,
I think it was a dog andwe should probably get that thing behind you

(12:39):
done because it's probably starting to getcold. Yeah, we probably should.
He is still in the Mexican League, I believe. Yeah, that was
the last updated thing he I knows, the Astro, not the Dodgers.
What I'm seeing right now is thelast thing that's been is him pitching in
the Mexican League right here. Yeah, we're still talking to get him.

(13:01):
But they said I heard another thing. If the Astros do it, they
were gonna wait till lot start Miamiteams. Miami I think could now even
though they're in a slump. Ican't remember they don't have an a.
So if the Marlins pick up ourkids, you know, I think he'll

(13:22):
legit, go in as the Marlinsace and then try to get Miami back
and win. Any Ways, Well, if you can't find anything, I'm
looking it up right now. ButI think he's still in the Mexico Baseball
League. The last conversation they hadabout him coming back was my birthday,
oh ship, So it wasn't evenin the regar season, so they have

(13:45):
not talked about him doing anything.We will do pizza and then we'll do
that. Yeah, so is thatyour is that football? Baseball? Baseball?
Let's do pizza real quick, We'lldo baseball. Damn it. You
just spoiled that we had football ship. Well, football was right around the
corner. Yeah, you were already, as as the Mystery Pizzas brought to
you by the Okay Cafe. Makesure my number two and okay, Caledonia,

(14:09):
I thank you number two. Gogo check out all the and they
have good beers. I was justthere not too long ago, and I
just devoured him most like a coupleof weeks ago. Oh my god,
it was so good. It wasthe day before fourth of July. As
always, the Okay Pizzas, itbrings us the mystery pizzas. I fumble
over my fucking words again. Yeah, so let's just get this rolling again.

(14:35):
Of course I get freaking peppers,dude, there's some sort of fucking
pepper on there. It's not evengonna be good for me, not gonna
be good for me. It's alast week went away. Yeah, he
went away. He wasn't doing thewitty Why is it so wet on the
probably because I let it say toohie. That's what I guess. You

(14:56):
have one job, all right?What do we think this guy is?
I think it's pepperoni, bacon,No, no, pepperoni, sausage,
banana, pepper alpino. What doyou think? Pepperoni, mushroom, onion,
halapeno, pepperoni, onion, sausage, and pepper sini, all the

(15:18):
peppers that you don't like. Iknow, right, the three interesting so
jollopeno, mushroom, bacon and tomato. That's when we don't get a lot,
don't. I'm not gonna see howit goes, all right, seeah

(15:41):
this one is mm hmm all right, okay, tomatoes and balance. See
I used to be not a fanof tomato on pie. It depends on
what other top beings like a tomato. But another pizza place I grew up

(16:07):
with pierces in Prospect. Yeah,they had a chicken fijeta pizza, but
I had nothing to do with fijida. It was chicken, mushroom, tomato,
onion, and a white sauce.It was like a ranch sauce.
Had nothing to do with fida.Hum did not taste like fijeta at all.

(16:27):
And that's where I kind of learned. Okay, tomato and pizza because
you already got tomato sauce on it. I mean yeah, but I know
I just made everybody that listens tous that hates tomatoes just fucking cringed.
So what sucks for them? Yeah, because I'm gonna be honestly fuck up.
It's a fucking tomato. Give metwo more of that. That guy's
good. I'm probably taking the pepperonihome. Yeah, that pepperoni was hitting

(16:52):
pretty hard. Guys. We getextra pizza because we're fucking fat. Okay,
we got a bacon and a pepperoniif your papperoni. So I'm a
basic white bitch. I usually woulddo extra cheese and pep but well done.
But I'm basic, I guess.I mean I do pepperoni and banana.
My favorite pizza is a double cheesesausage pizza. Double cheese? What

(17:15):
double cheese sausage? Okay, sowe're kind of along the same line,
not too far off. There's there'struly the Now, would you do pepperoni
if it was the old style pepperoni? Yeah? Absolutely, any any style
if it's cube, if it's sliced, diced. Well, I think you
might want to bring up your standingsbecause we didn't see where we're at standing.

(17:37):
So and I'm looking at this nowand I'm like, uh shit,
I'm a little scared. Due,Yeah, I'm scared. I'm mostly scared
for the National side standing. Iwas gonna say, I am also concerned
with the National League. I'm concernedwith the National side on this absolutely.

(18:00):
All right, Well rip them.Sorry, I went to overall first.
I thought, who's on first?Now it's going to leagues? What's on
second? Oh? Game? Soin terms of leagues, I'm going into
the Allstar break for the American League. Number one overall is your Cleveland Guardians

(18:26):
in the American League. They aresecond overall in the league. But second
overall in the American League is theBaltimore Orioles. Third overall will be our
New York Yankees. Fourth overall willbe your Minnesota Twins, Fifth overall will
be the Boston Red Sox, andsixth overall will be Kansas City Royals.

(18:48):
Outside looking will be the Seattle Mariners. Uh yeah, I'm missing some teams
on that one. I'm close withthe Mariners, the Rangers, are not
too well. The Rangers are fartheroff than they think than I think people
thought. Yeah, the Astros arenot far off either. The Tigers are

(19:10):
still in the conversation. I havethe Tigers, I have the Orioles.
I have the Tigers, I havethe Yankees, I have the Guards,
I have the Red Sox. Andwonder know what my worst team is not
the worst team in baseball at leastfour a L Did we write down worst
team? I wrote down worst team. I think it might have just been
a side piece we talked about.I wrote mine down. I had my

(19:33):
worst team. You didn't I sayMiami? You did say Miami. They
are the worst team on the nextColorado for the nation. All right,
Colorado is the second worst, theA's for the American League being the second
worst team. Well, I havethe A's being the worst team in the
air the second worst. They arethe second worst with the White Sox.
Yeah, I think I was betweenthe two. Like I can't remember who
I took for the worst than theAmericano was between those two. So what

(19:57):
about NL? And now leading theNL is the Philadelphia Phillies. I have
them on my list. Fuck Numbertwo is the Los Angeles Dodgers. Number
three, we have the Milwaukee Brewers. There's two. Number four, we
have the Atlanta Braves. There's three. Number five, we have the Saint

(20:18):
Louis Cardinals. Fuck number six,we have the New York Yankees, and
rounding it out being first out.Wait the Yankees said the Yankees, New
York Mets, thank you, wrongside, thank you so much. Good
and rounding it out being the firstout as of right now is the Arizona
Diamondbacks. Fuck, so they're mythird, they're my fifth. I don't

(20:40):
know why I decided they're six.Technically, I don't know why I decided
that the Cubs had a chance.But everybody else here is actually in the
conversation. So I still have mytop three. I have the Braves,
the Brewers, and the Dodgers,all winning in Arizona. Being the peaker,
they were my wild card three.I fucked up with Theincinnati and pitt

(21:02):
Why what the fuck was I thinkingfor your top for the wild card one
and two? I have Cincinnati andPitt. Interesting, that's all right,
because I got Atlanta with the Eastwhich they're still chasing. I take the
Reds to win the Central because Ifigure Milwaukee was gonna hit a bit of
a slope and then everyone else wasgonna fight. I had the Dodgers,

(21:23):
which shocker. I think we alldid Phillies as a wildcard because I knew
the East was gonna be a battle. It was vice versa. Arizona's my
second wild card, and then Itook Pittsburgh as a sneaking I didn't think
the Phillies. I had Saint Louiswith him maybe top five words for the
National because I'm like, I wouldlove to see Saint Louis suck, but

(21:45):
we know they won't be the worst. Deep down, I feel like in
terms of our conversations looking at mylist, I wasn't too far off.
I had on each side, Iwould say two teams that are kind of
out there in terms of the conversations. As of the All Strobery, I
think we both had two teams.Well, yes, the American League is
the Astros, and then it's goingto be the Rangers, the Tigers.

(22:10):
Mine were the Rangers and the Angels, So I guess I have three.
On the Al side, it wouldbe the Rangers, Astros, and Tigers.
Because the Mariners are the first outright now, the Tigers are going
to creep back in. I thinkso as well, as long as they
don't sell. If they don't selland stay healthy, if they keep Flaherty
and they keep playing well, theyhave a chance. I have my four,

(22:33):
I have four on each side.I'm missing two well, and I
got three. I don't think asof right now, the Mariners are in
because they will win their division.Well, I hope so the Mariners would
be in with winning their division andthen that would knock Kansas City out.
Yeah. Yes, the Astros areonly one behind Seattle for the Al West.

(22:57):
I didn't even think Cbstros, Sothat's not bad. That fuck you,
and I said the Astros are somehow, So I'm not gonna win the
American West, the National League.The Phillies, the Braves, and the
Dodgers. The Diamondbacks are the firstout. But in their division. They're
leading their division because nobody else inthat division is right up there right now.

(23:18):
Because Atlanta is in division, they'lltake it. Yeah, because I
don't think that there's anybody else inthat division right now. Let me see.
Let me look, if Atlanta getsa hot streak rolling, they have
a shop, but Philly has gota stay consistent. Well, the Diamondbacks
are second in that division. Whyam I overlooking the Dodgers. I'm an
idiot, So I don't know becausewe already know where the Dodgers. I'm

(23:40):
staying. Absolutely that's probably why fourthyou're talking one, now you're talking the
other. So the Diamondbacks technically we'reout. My Cubs conversation was stupid,
and me with the Reds, Iwas just hopeful for the Reds, the
Pittsburgh theyd go hot streak. Theyreally did. They have Eli Daya Cruz,
they have all these great players.They they really do have everything later
this season from what I've been readingabout. It's just they got to stay

(24:03):
healthy and stay consistent. They talkedabout it, so, I mean,
if anyone wants to praise was saying, well, who praised the Reds the
most? It was me because Itook them as the odds. I went
with the ads for them to winit all. Yeah, well, my
winning all team is still in here, my winning team, so yep,

(24:26):
we'll do to the corner. Yep, keep it for October. They're stickball,
stickball or that's sickball? What wasit? The what Adam Sandler movie
was that on what was it TheMagnets at seven might be on Netflix.
Sticky mcschniggins was the I think baseballgame they played on There is what he

(24:51):
named it, the guy that createdbaseball? My god, he did a
cameo about it. Yeah, Ithink that's what it is that I can't
remember off the top of my head. We were done with Sticky Mick schniggins.
On to the next most important thing, which I've already started watching Hard
Knocks Football football, Yeah, becausecame out the off season, the Hard

(25:17):
Knocks off season for the Giants.It's pretty cool to watch how well number
one they were dealing with Saquon Yeah, and going to the Reces Senior Bowl,
the East West Bowl, the ShineBowl and watching and scouting and it's

(25:37):
cool. I've only watched the firstepisode. I need to go home and
watch the second episode while I'll dosome film stuff. But that's a young
GM and I mean he's hopeful.I mean the Giants I still think blew
their nut on drafting Daniel Jones andthat very very very love draft. Yes,

(25:59):
yeah, drafting another quarterback, keepingDaniel Jones and extending Daniel Jones over
and then you'll go to arrival,which I'm not mad that he went to
a arrival. I'm not mad.I'm happy that. Yeah, I'm watching
the whole process piece by piece withthat. Well, no, I know
that part's piece by piece. Butwe had to sign for the end season

(26:22):
to be the Cleveland Browns because thatmeans I'll actually watch it this year.
Yeah, last year I didn't watchit. But it's the whole AFC North,
which is also going to be astatic. It'll be fun. It's
going to be within a division,and it's one of the best divisions,
probably the best division. Yes,it is the best division. Speaking of
divisions, we have predictions. Theseare two early predictions. We don't even

(26:47):
have too early. We don't evenhave preseason foil ship, gentlemen. They're
barely mandatory right now, you know, right, it just came on done.
It didn't even mandatory. Aaron Rodgerstime yet he tears his other fucking

(27:10):
achilles pretty freaking much. But wewon in San fran Gentlemen. We gotta
talk predictions. We gotta talk divisions, we gotta talk wild cards, we
gotta talk NFC AFC Super Bowl fiftynine, Super Bowl Championships, the whole
nine. How the list goes.Okay, we're sticking right on it.
FC East me, first you wereon you were hopping on my deck there,

(27:33):
buddy, get on it. Alright, We're good. All right.
No, I want pac Man.I want to walk walk walk walk.
AFC East, I have the MiamiDolphins. Okay, wow, all right,
you and I in the same boatbecause a FC East, I am
also taking the speed game of theMiami Dolphins. What you got. I

(27:59):
think it's a year that he hasto produce or he is gone. The
Bills are gonna win because if theydo not, homeboy done, homeboy done,
he is gonna get chased out ofBuffalo. So you say, homeboy
done, I think his homeboys aredone. Digs Alan, They're gonna start
shipping, shipping, They're gonna startshipping for picks and really gonna fucking get

(28:22):
it going because they need to clearhouse. And just say, y'all are
fucking around, all right, y'allcannot win a postseason game? What in
the most dire need? When wedo a bracket for the teams that are
in and every year I've picked theBuffalo Bills to go far get shot in

(28:47):
the ass. Yes, every fuckingtime. This will be the time.
It won't not happening this year.Well, this is the most painful one.
Yeah, it is painful. Look, man, AFC North, I
had to pick ball Timore Ravens.Yes, absolutely. I I with the
Cleveland Browns having the strongest schedule thisyear, which I'm still trying to figure

(29:11):
that out, but now looking atthe players that everybody has, Yeah,
Baltimore's fucking loaded. They got loadedwhen they decided to pick up King Henry
himself. So I had Baltimore Ravenswinning the AFC North, agreed Chris.
Yeah, it was a toss upbecause I'm legit looking and like I said,
they have seen Norths the best fora reason. But something about King

(29:36):
Henry can't go against him. Fuckit, AFC North is going to be
Baltimore. I AFC Norse Baltimore.I don't even need to have this conversation.
Let's talk about the aren't real Forme, got a lot common AFC
South Houston Texans. Ye, whohe got the guy that should have been

(30:00):
the Coach of the Year, andthe guy that won Offensive the Year,
the guy that got Defensive Player ofthe Year. It's a team that's got
the Young style team. Give methe fucking Houston Texans with their new uniforms,
the South with Clarence. We're lettingit ride, letting that rocket shoot
off. Bro, that's sick ina row that we've hit. Yeah,

(30:22):
okay, we gotta go AFC Westernchief Oh, Kansas City Chiefs. That's
the point, Kansas City Chiefs.Well, it's it's simple. It's the
guy nicknamed Big Red. Give methe Chiefs nine in a row, nine
in a row. The fact thatwe live in the AFC that we just

(30:42):
can kind of just look through thebullshit. Yeah, you may have picked
up this guy, but this teamis still pretty loaded. Absolutely. Moving
on to the NFC NFC East,I feel like this conversation is also going
to be the same. I justhate that we're all literally saying the same
damn fucking teams. Philadelphia Eagles,yes, you might have a different one,

(31:06):
and as not the New York Giants. And honestly, here's a fun
fact. Whoever won the division,whoever won the East before? Can I
repeat? Since two thousand and fuckingthree, So the Philadelphia Eagles are gonna
win the NFC East because Dallas afucking choke Oh yeah, you're right,
Dallas chokes. Uh, and thereis number twelve in a row. The

(31:32):
NFC East will be won by thiswhere it's gonna get really interesting. Uh.
You better have the same conversation asme. For the NFC North,
Wyn North is the Green Bay Packers. You are fucked sleeper. You're fucking
asleep making that pick. I wasasleep. I can't. I'm stay sleeping
on them, all right. Youstay sleeping. That's why I'm stay sleeping.

(31:53):
You stay sleeping. I think theythey came up on a good rise
at the end of the year.They did have a good rise at the
end of the year, but itwasn't fast enough for them to make it
farther than what they did. Ithink they will get figured out. Yes,
that's why I said they could winthe division. I don't think they
can win the division. All right, cool, christ put a pen in

(32:15):
your conversation because I got some stuff. But we're lighting the dandel I'm taking
Detroit to win the North again.I'm riding there. It is, yes,
sir, there it is all Wait, now, would it be really
out of left field if I saidChicago's cho gonna be like and have a

(32:37):
good night, everybody. Yes,we would cancel as soon as that happens.
NFC South Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Okay, Christopher, we are seven more
fucking years away, So that's notCarolina. We knew that. I honestly
wanted to take the Saints. Butthen I'm sitting and looking at everything and

(32:58):
everything with what they got, likeSaints have nothing. Yeah. No,
that's why I said, I wantto sit there and I'm like, sometimes
some way they don't want their repeat. But what the Saints have a good
defense, They're not gonna have anoffense that produces though. They're gonna definitely
keep it to a that's about it. He's a fucking headache and a half.
They're definitely gonna keep it to Awa. Yeah. The one I'm sitting

(33:23):
there, and honestly, what Toabulesis doing in Tampa's fine. The new
OC they brought in since Carolina pickedup their OC to be a head coach.
They it's well, it's gonna beTampa winning the South again. And
honestly, I won't be surprised ifTampa goes like eight and nine or seven
and ten and so win's the NFCdo excuse me? They do have the

(33:46):
Saints have the ability to be whatHouston is this year to play the Saints
right, and Alvin Camara has tofucking figure it out, Madonna like you
have been. Yeah, and that'swhat I think this season is for him.
It's gonna be a oh I needto sit down, figure a contract
season, make a break season.Ye make a break. Uh huh.

(34:08):
That's why I said it. Allright, keep going, But well,
I think Chris is completely wrong.His team is going to be amazing this
year, except for the fact thatyou can literally buy the freaking home home
game tickets cheaper than it is tobe able to watch all their home games.
Did you see the ticket prices Ithink just came out for your first
game season. You know what thenosebleeds are? Yes, fucking twelve dollars,

(34:30):
Yes, Dalton. The stat prebefore all the tickets were when they
were talking about pre preseason tickets,the stat came out that it is cheaper
to go to every home game forthe Carolina Panthers than it is by and
watch them all on TV to getall the streaming services for them. So
you're gonna drive. He's making thedrop. It's a six hour dry fair

(34:52):
enough, all right. Next,that's the point where what the Cleveland Browns
were a few years back, andwe're just showing more. You know.
It's okay, a mistake on thelake, mistake on the ocean, mistake
by the ocean, mistake by theocean. Buccaneers are gonna win the South.
We'll just let it ride. NFCWest. I feel like we're also

(35:13):
gonna have a very similar This isa fucking revenge tour. Forty nine ers,
yes, Christopher uh Brock party isdefinitely want revenge. It's forty nine
ers taking the West. Yes.Uh. I love the fact that we
have literally all the same list exceptfor two divisions me with Green Bay.
Well, I have my AFC Eastthat I took separate to. Yes.

(35:35):
So he's so on the Bill's mafia, He's so all right. I think
this is where it gets even more. This is where it gets serious.
All right. So AFC wildcard wonI have the Buffalo Bills, Okay,
Chris, you guys might have thetoughest schedule. I think you guys will
pull it out, of course.I'm gonna say this claim the three wildcards,
they can just vary. I'm justgonna list. My three wild card

(35:59):
the Cleveland Browns will be one ofthe wild card spots. Wow, okay,
My wildcard one will be the Dolphins. I think the Bills will somehow
win the regular season by like agame again, and the Dolphins will be
right on their penis and right they'refucking ass, buddy, because I'm telling
you now it is if they coulddo a half game, they would be

(36:20):
a half game back that I justlearned what I thought he said. Dude,
they are literally going to be neckand neck though. Be honest,
like, I genuinely think the Billshave a chance to be good this year.
They just have to. And ifthey're not, they're they're carrying house.
I'm telling you. AFC Wildcard two. Yes, I do take in

(36:44):
consideration on how tough the brown scheduleis. I give it to him.
Cleveland Brown's take that second spot.Did you just steal my list? I
really genuinely think you stole my list. No, just wait till we get
to the nitty gritty down. Chris, what you got, I'm taking their
team and the best division. Yes, it's gonna they're gonna get everything.
Bouncing back, I think the Bengalsmake it back into the playoffs. Broh,

(37:07):
No, shut the fuck up.I'm sorry, but number four in
that division is the mangles ship.I have the Steelers and the Bengals fighting
for the bottom. I got Pittsburghand last fighting for last, fighting for
last. It's because okay, ifyou think of it this way, quick,
ten to fifteen seconds, Yes,Pittsburgh has one of the worst but

(37:28):
best QB battles right now. Yes, And the Bengals need to figure out
who their next guy up is thatJoe Burrow is gonna just fling the ball
to Yes, Oh and it is, and it's Solencely. It's a tagg
you right after Higgins and break backand forth, back and forth, back
and forth. Absolutely, third wildcard and this is a team that none

(37:50):
of you are talking about. Well, no, I have to do my
number two right Yeah, WHI you'rey the Browns at number two? Be
honest, you had them. Itold you we have the same list.
And if your number three is thesame as me, I'm gonna be sunshine
damn dark Jacksonville Jaguars. What areyou doing? Because we were on telempathy
today, but I type this lastweek. I typed this this morning Chris

(38:15):
and I were well, he movedhis computer and he's like, hey,
can we chat for a minute.I want to make sure my MIC's good
and everything at the house. Butlisten, out of all the AFC teams
that look, Bill's got a lotto prove. But the problem is the
Bills have so much they shouldn't haveto prove shit. Absolutely, Jacksonville has

(38:35):
a lot to prove to make afucking spot. Yeah, and I think
they can do it. Absolutely.Chris, what you got? I got
a dark horse. Every time youdo a dark horse suck. Here's the
kicker. This dark horse almost madeit last year. It came down to
the final game. The dark horse. This has gotta be a team that

(38:59):
is staying in the shadows. Andit is a horsey. It's in the
South. It's the Indianapolis Courts.Sh We're winning games. They love Anthony
Richardson. They don't get me wrong. I'm one hundred. I think it's

(39:20):
a proven year for Jacksonville to getit. I think Jacksonville's gonna be fighting
in the Humba getting eliminated. Buffalo. Buffalo's legit. I'm in the wagon
with you with Buffalo. They're notgonna they're getting knocked out and then they're
gonna sell everybody. Josh Allen willprobably be gone. Sean McDermott is gonna
get canned. There's one thing thatthat team literally went winning ten games and

(39:47):
almost won the South with Anthony Richardsonon the sideline injured. I understand what's
what's Steve's whoever? I can't rememberStych I think is his last name.
He was doing what solid? SoI understand the Colts, but like I
said, it's a stretch because notgonna lie. I don't see anybody in

(40:07):
the AFC West gonna actually play.I don't the Raiders with Antonio Peers,
I think solid, but they're notgonna do good. The Chargers with Jim
Harbar are gonna figure it out.In the Broncou're right, they're still on
the sunset, you know. Hello, dude, I totally like so you
get throw your manby Pandy fit andjumping around there say no, no,

(40:28):
no, But I'm telling you it'sa legit shot. God, They're gonna
stay in the shadows. That's allI got to say that, Because they're
gonna stay in the shadows, andyou're you're You're not wrong, Chris.
They're not wrong to stay in theshadows. But you know what, I'm
not counting them out. You're notwrong at the fact that they have something
to prove. But they have toprove, so they keep their fucking front
office. That's where they're at rightnow. Yes, but that that okay,

(40:49):
out of all the picks, Ithink that's the biggest fucking I sat
there and I'm like, oh God, do I go with the stretch or
do I think Sunshine could get it? Like I saved? Oh wait,
I already know I stole it.Yeah, motherfucker. MC wild Card three
is the Jacksonville Jaguars, a k. The Jacksonville Sunshines. All right,

(41:15):
NFC Wildcard number one? What doyou got? You guys are gonna be
pissing my number one? Dallas Cowboys. God, dude, making no West.
No, It's all right. Itmakes the most last It makes the
most sense because why Dallas makes it. They lose the first game, done

(41:37):
and then we don't have to worryabout it again. So I think we
were on the same I can't waituntil in like three weeks when they start
pre well, in a couple ofweeks, then they start preseason games.
I can't wait until on Instagram.The first thing I see when I open
one day is the Dallas Cowboys havebeen eliminated from playoff contention. That's the

(41:58):
first snapping, first snap. Iwant somebody to put another instance. Yeah,
wild card won again. Somehow,some way, Dallas is gonna make
it. They'll probably be the firstwild card and they're just gonna choke their
way out. Yeah, with theEast, they're gonna choke beforehand. Like
I said, do we need totake a break from each other so we
can figure out some different teams fortwo fucking weeks? Oh? How are

(42:22):
we doing this? I don't fuckingknow. It's like we talked about.
We all know what the Cowboys boysby cardo. This is how I know
mine's different. My wild card twois the Detroit Lions. Yeah, I
guess my My wildcardtoo is Grace.What's yours? My wildcarto is a Green

(42:42):
Bay Packers. Oh my god,Oh my god, grazy grazy Grace.
You get in my mind everyone,it's freaking Packers, all right, But
not with this Indianapolis thing. We'renowhere clothes Yeah, no ship, this
one might be mine and just doingit because of respect. I'm telling you
now, I bet we have thesame fucking one New York Giants. Nope,

(43:02):
okay, we're good. I havethe New York Giants. Is my
last one? Nope? Not nope, no, thank you? What you
got y'all? You want to giveme ship about saying my third ball cards
aucking Colt Giants. I'm not acknowledgingthat. Oh that's bad, Yes yours.
I'm acknowledging because there's a slight chancebecause they are growing. That's fucking

(43:22):
bad. The shadows saying in theshadows they're on TV. This is this
is the unloved middle child. Okay, you're the loved older child that they
get pissed off that with your somethingout, I look Danty bombs the Giants

(43:45):
naked mad respect though, matter ofrespect of the Giants make it to the
playoffs. Incorrect. They have ashot as long as it's the last of
the wild card. Anybody can canmake it. You gotta win nine games,
nine credible games unless you're the NFCSouth and he could album nobody.

(44:06):
They won last year six. Youknow how close they were to winning ten.
They were only fourteen points off.They weren't back like I said,
Okay, their defense is fucking solid, and they picked up a hell of
a DC from fucking Tennessee when theyreleased Mike Rabel and it still pisses me
off, but was at Ohio State, so I'm fine. Anyways, my

(44:28):
fine, I'll take the ship.Earned give me shit. I'm just to
make sure you get ship. It'sall up. Who he got anyways,
my third wild card. I keptsitting them thinking about fuck it. Somehow
someway they alternates. I think Seattle'sgonna sneak in and take the third wild
card. You did what I wantedto. That's actually who I was gonna

(44:50):
pick. I set. I thinkit's Seattle. Yes, they're going through
a head coaching change, but theystill have most most of the same guys
there. What DK Metcalf, It'llbe all right now he's looking to be
weird. What all keep going?I want to hear. I think Seattle
will still battling. If Seattle canactually finish a couple more games than what

(45:13):
they couldn't do last year. Ithink they did because honestly it was a
battle between They do have one ofthe top paid defensive tackles. They have
a decent linebacker corps yep, Ginois still out there, able to throw
the ball. DK metcalf is stilla Yeah. I know, I'm saying

(45:35):
it's tough, but okay, theycould sneak. Why are you looking at
me like that? I'm ready forall the smoke. Oh fuck Kirk Thugans
baby, he gets the third spotthe Atlanta Falcons, give me all the
smoke. Okay, okay, giveme all the Are you taking this because
of what they did to him inthe draft? Yes? Respect? Actually,

(46:00):
you know what, I can't sayanything. Kirk Thuggin's buddy. He's
going to show them that he wasthe guy, should have been the guy.
And because they really don't have muchanything other than him, you know
what, the guy. I'll bethe Doug, the dumb ugly stepchild of
the NFC side of the wild cardon this one. But that I thought
that one was going to be.But okay, I understand your argument.

(46:21):
Now it probably won't fucking happen becauseagain, he's old. I'm sorry,
I love the man to death,but he's old. Yeah, motherfucker was
playing college when we were in elementaryschool. Yeah, or maybe middle school
for me, I'm not one hundredpercent sure because it was twenty Yeah was
it twenty twelve? Yeah, twentytwelve in high school? Okay, I
would have been justin mid middle school, so middle school for me. Dude's

(46:46):
been playing forever. I want tohundred percent agree with you. It's going
to be a prove year of Kirksaying, hey, you guys got rid
of me. I'm going here,but now you want to drop the quarterback
because you I don't have much timeleft if oh for sure? Oh yeah,
that's the biggest timeline because it's notgoing a lot. I thought about

(47:07):
Atlanta a bit, but I'm likewith it being the NFC South. It's
just about because it's tough. Yeah, it's gonna be legit last few years.
Whoever runs the South is going tothe playoff. Everyone else, hello,
stinking up there going to be Youguys are a top five draft picks.
Do I think that that pick willbe incorrect? Probably halfway through the
season. Absolutely, I think goingto being correct. Probably. Absolutely.

(47:30):
I think we all took one thatwe really truly think could be a stink
show. But I want to seeYeah, all right, gentlemen, NFC
championship. Well, let's actually goback. I know your list says NFC
the AFC, but we've gone AFCto NFC. Let's do AFC championship game
just so we follow what we've had. I just have I just had the
winner. I have the Baltimore Ravenswinning the AFC Championship. Okay, do

(47:52):
you know who they might play to? You have a guess. I guess
the Texans. Okay, Chris,who you got? I like your Texans?
Pick? I like it, KansasCity. You have Ravens beating Chiefs.
I have the Chiefs and Texans.I think the Texans could beat the
Chiefs early. It depends if itdepends if I looked at it, I'm

(48:19):
like, it depends on the Chiefsdon't really have that much right now,
but once they get towards the endof the season. Because remember the Chiefs,
their top receiver is a tight endfrom the Heights from Ohio. No,
I know that's that's their top receiver. Who's decent. Ravens beat the

(48:40):
Chiefs in the a f C.Oh, he's got the revenge. I
respect revenge. Okay, NFC,what do you got? I picked the
Niners. Yes, who would theyplay? Yeah? I gotta go with

(49:01):
Tampa Bay if seated, right,I think Baker Mayfield has found his team.
He found a home, he founda home. I think they could
go there. I respect it,get their revenge win the NFC Championship,
and I got them beating Tampa becauseI think that seeding will be San Francisco.

(49:21):
Everybody else fights and somehow, someway Tampa will sneak in and win
by like some point, They're gonnado good. But I think they get
lined up to where they're gonna haveto play San Fran in San Fran Niners
beat the Lions rematch, He's gotto rematchet. I genuinely think it runs

(49:49):
back again. Okay, now Iwant to ask, is it gonna be
just like last year where it wasthe game, or where Detroit hasn't and
can't finish within the last seconds becausethey do some terrible play, or I
think it's just then now, it'snot gonna be like fucking thirty points,
but it's gonna be a couple oftouchdowns. I'll do this. I'll make

(50:09):
sure to put this in real fast, and then I'll say, uh my
super Bowl, Yeah, fifty nineis Ravens Niners Yeah, who wins it?
Niners Revenge Tour? Who got so? I got the ring match for
Super Bowl fifty nine? It's SanFrancisco and Kansas City. I really do

(50:31):
think can't. Like I do thinkSan Francisco has everything to win it,
and I want it to be therevenge Tour. But somehow, some way,
you cannot go against Andy fucking Redor our first three peach. You
can't starving fucking cheeseburgers. Yeah,I know, right, I think so.
You think it's a three pe Ithink we got our first three p

(50:52):
champion. Okay, I've got Ravensbeating the Niners. Well Mar gets his
ring? You got it this year? Well Mar's got the one that says
the North team gets the fucking ruing. Well Mar gets the ring this year.
Man. I think I said itlast year. Tom not gonna lie
that. I will not be madwith it being Ravens and Niners because that's
a rematch of twenty twelve. They'vegot the depth if they get injured.

(51:15):
I think they're prepared this year.I updated my list now that I gave
it. I get you, butit's I think the Ravens are stacked enough
that they have the ability to runthe race. That's what the NFL slowly
is turning into. And I hateto be the guy to tell you this,
but it's turning into what the MLB. We've been talking about it for
a while because they're still talking abouteighteen games. Now, oh god,
they're still talking eighteen games. Butthen someone projected make a second by week

(51:37):
and then the second week will bethe Pro Bowl, the one to get
to that expanded to twelve on aplayoff. Yeah, yeah, we got
to talk about twelve college gentlemen.We got to talk to CFB picks.
Yes, we need the Power five'sbest group of five. We're starting with
Big ten. Who's winning the BigTen? So this morning I put the

(51:59):
Big ten is another team? Yeah, And I thought long and hard,
and I said, why would thisteam that's just coming in win the Big
Ten when the Big ten is goingto have something to prove? I had
to go with the Ohio State thisyear. Yes, best team on paper
in Big Ten as a Hollo State. Hallo State is on the We here

(52:21):
got to do every fucking thing.We're winning it all. I got again,
I got a holl State winning theBig Ten. But I think Oregon
will be spectacular going into Big tenplay and we're gonna see Oregon making run
and it's a Hall State organ inthe Big Ten Championship with a Hall State
getting their revenge as when we goto Eugene to either lose the game that

(52:43):
we don't need to or get thewin and then do it again in fashion
Big ten high see it too manyplayers coming in. We have to win
it. We have to go undefeated. We have to do this. We
have to get another for those ofyou on the edge of your seat.
So which mind pick was? Ipicked the Organ Ducks this morning before I
picked Ohio State, not surprised,so SEC surprise surprise, surprise, surpricess

(53:09):
but also the same conversation I thinkI know pretty much is. But before
I pick SEC, I'm on theThat's why I was with Oregon T I'm
like, it's going to be thosetwo probably right there, one and two
and then three is going to bea few games back. Yeah, But
anyway, SEC, it's the guythat is I think going to be the
solid quarterback coming in out of theSEC with Carson Beck, Kirby Smart real

(53:34):
out of Kirby Smart's right now inmy book, gonna be one of the
best college football coaches within right now, give me Uga Georgia Bulldogs win the
SEC. You Bulldogs take the SEC. There we go, and I think
that's gonna be a tight game.And I think the team that they beat
in the SEC Championship will also getin. And I will tell you what

(53:58):
team that is because I have themin my phone before ACC Who do you
have? Florida State? Okay,no conversation, Chris. I thought about
this and I'm sitting and looking.I'm scared on Florida State. I'm scared.
I'm very scared. Yeah, financiallyconcerned kind of. But I thought

(54:21):
about Florida State. But with thetalent they lost and Mike Norval, it's
tough. But I'm gonna take as m U to win the ACC.
Absolutely. But here's another thing.On Clemson. Florida State I think is

(54:43):
gonna enter a slump with all thetalent and of course the aftermath of their
playoff pick Clemson. Clay cup Nickis not that guy. I don't know.
I just said, I just said, you know what, a c
C doesn't. I want to proveanything, at least I didn't take the
fucking tree. What. Yeah,I agree with you on that one.

(55:08):
I don't know about everything else.What is your heart on about horses?
Tennant puts your heart on? Man, I gotta know, are you turning
into a horse girl? You brother? A is gonna be Florida stay,
and I'm gonna be really don't getme wrong, Like the a CC sucks

(55:28):
right now, maybe as then wasmaking the run back. And to be
honest with you, how bad thea c C is. I can't tell
you it's not right? You know, I can't tell you Miami Boston College
beat that, honestly it thought aboutit almost Inston College somehow do it.
But I think Florida State. Yes, they lost some, they didn't lose

(55:53):
all, and they did get djU. Look at experienced guys got their
ass handed to him by Georgia.Yeah, and Georgia's second team. Yeah.
Those guys that didn't play a lotof them came back and their band
shit. All right, here's mybig wopping surprise. But I've talked about

(56:15):
this man since he took this job. Big twelve Colorado Buffalo's you did whatt
in a cup? This is myyear that I hope I get proved wrong
to show that's that Prime Time isnot that good of a coach. Okay,
but I have faith in this programwith the Big Twelve. Interesting,

(56:40):
Interesting, Chris, name another teamI could have fucking picked. I have
no idea the Big Twelve. Okay. First of all, I'm not disagreeing
with you. Okay, I don'thave Colorado winning it, but I do
think Colorado is not gonna do tooshabby and try to get back with how
they played a twelve. But there'san other team that also went to the

(57:00):
Big Twelve that left the Pack twelve, and the guy that is still there
coaching it's a fucking Utah youth.I honestly, I wouldn't be surprised.
Guys if shut shut hey, shutup, hey hey, plot twist.

(57:22):
The Big Twelve Championship is two forPack twelveies Colorado Buffalows in the Utah with
the Arizon, with Arizona Wildcats beingright there out of the conversation. But
they're still going to do solid.So I'm guessing Utah in Utah, in
Utah. I I am going withthe Utah Youth. Okay, fair enough?

(57:44):
Yes, uh, Packed twelve WashingtonStation pass. I love that.
But no, I'm going opposite thebeats Oregon State. I'm building a damn
there, buddy, Oregon State.That's fine, it's fine. Just remember
when Wisconsin got fucking embarrassed by thislast year. So I Wisconsin, well,

(58:08):
Wisconsin to Wisconsin has been full staffthat went to a CFP for fucking
two years in a row. Wisconsingot their asses handed to him by Washington
State two years in a row.Wisconsin has not been Wisconson since running the
ball actually worked, Dalton, WisCamson group of five, all right,

(58:35):
So I took the five series.I took one from each of the five,
right, So if you guys gotto figure that out, that's fine,
I do because I only took one. I have Tulane out of the
American the American American Athletic Conference,Liberty out of Conference us A, Toledo
out of the mac Air Force,out of the Mountain Mountain West, and

(58:55):
then app stayed out of Sunbelt.I remember the last, I will say
because when we talked about it,I made the list. It's we're picking
one of the five. But ifwe want to add all five, we
can. But the best group offive team, that's gonna go in.
They didn't lose much of anybody.I think they got the shot. Jamie
Chatwell's got everything rolling for him.The Liberty Flames, I think's gonna win

(59:17):
it. But I could add onbecause I did have the others. I'm
with you on the Tolaane pick.Tolaane's gonna win the American out of the
MAC. I do think it's Toledo. I think there's I have Buffalo one
year winning the MAC, but theyhaven't proved much of anything. Buffalo hasn't
won the MAX since I think westarted this podcast or even had a chance.

(59:42):
Yeah, I think Buffalo's last chancewas before then. I think maybe
twenty twenty. I was gonna saybefore I think because I Thinkalil Mack was
still playing with Buffalo, but Toledowith the MAC. Although we love maction
football. The Sum Belt, I'mgonna roll Upsite. I think it's James
Madison winning it, but I dothink app State's right there. Probably the

(01:00:05):
two of them will match up becausethey'll probably drop their conference stuff and then
hear their divisions and do a conference. App State James Madison, but I
think James Madison will win the SunBelt Mountain West Boise is not backs just
yet. It's gonna I'm a bitbehind the frisone wagon. But but I

(01:00:27):
think air Force could be Fresno.I could see, Yeah, I think
it's air I can see air Forcedoing that. But I know Utah State's
still there, and they got everybodyand the coaches on the hot seat.
I think he'll get everybody clicking Utoss State. So that's yeah, there's
my group of five celebrity is thebest group of five, budd, I'm

(01:00:49):
looking and I'm missing one. That'swhat I need to go back on to
get conference in the USA. Sorry, my bad. M interesting, we
are gonna rock with you might aswell start with that one and then rip
off the other four I want togo. I'm gonna go with Liberty like

(01:01:15):
Chris I genuinely I don't know likeI like Liberty, but I don't know.
Something screaming about Western Kentucky. No, actually, something screaming about Western
Kentucky. From there, I thinkWestern Kentucky Liberty in the conference. Best
of the best group of five forme is gonna be Tulane. Oh,
I agree with that. They weremy when I did one, I to

(01:01:37):
Lane only Tulane's gonna be my best, not Liberty. Let's get that straight.
Liberty is going to win. It'sT lane. Liberty might be two
or three based on record. Socontinuing on my list, TWU lane,
we'll be winning. Toledo will winthe MAC, James Madison will win an

(01:01:57):
air Force will win. Yeah,four pretty much. I know two lane,
Toledo, James Madison, air Force, Liberty, Okay, Liberty,
Yeah, Liberty, Liberty, Bevertyfinal four Liberty easy. Ohio, State,
Georgia, Texas, Florida State wehave one wrong, Okay, continue
Georgia, I'll state Oregon, andI fucking hate it. But somehow,

(01:02:22):
some fucking way, they're somehow gonnafucking make it. Fucking Alabama that pisses
him off. I also have apissed off. There's no fucking way they
win more than seven games this year. But okay, sorry, I just
sorry, pissed on, pissed onthe rock for a second. I'll give
them nine. I'll give them ninegames this year. Okay, Alabama,

(01:02:45):
they're setting everything up to be SECbig ten. That's how I basically,
oh have state, Georgia, Texas, meat chicken. Whoa you think Moore
is actually gonna not do well withriding the coattails of hardball. I mean,
actually do well not riding the coattailsof hardball. He beat us riding

(01:03:07):
the coattails of harball. He beatus writing the coattails of harball. He
was writing his foot that was histeam still okay, but more this is
still on his team. How manyguys did they graduate? Yeah, but
there's already a handful of recruits thatcame out and said he recruited to play
for more he recruited. Well,okay, I genuinely think they have a

(01:03:30):
chance to do that. Let mejust send this, Uh, Kirby Smart's
a very smart man. He winsthe CFP this year Georgia Ohio State from
the national Championship, And like Isaid, as much as we got the
best fucking team on paper, weneed to fucking win it all. Brian
Dacy is gonna get fucking warmer becausehe's gonna chuck another big fucking game and

(01:03:51):
gonna win. Not because he's gonnabeat Michigan this year. If he doesn't
beat Michigan, he has to Michigan. He doesn't beat mess as get any
more. If he loses to Ifhe loses to Michigan and then makes it
all the way into the playoffs,if he doesn't be this year, if
he doesn't beat Michigan, pitchforks okaywith a share on fire. The problem

(01:04:15):
is we've been at this debate nowfor three years. Go ahead, say
I think they do. I reallygenuinely think they do. We brought in
so many motherfucking dudes on paper.We brought in dude, you swear to
God that is That's why. Andnow I'm in that same fucking boat we
brought I don't think because here's theproblem. I still have not seen a

(01:04:38):
game other than the closest I mean, by a fucking cunt hair. You
haven't seen a single one of thesequarterbacks play that are actually the conversation.
I know, I know. Butthe closest we've ever seen an Ohio State
team running under Ryan Day was whenwe shanked a fucking field goal against Georgia
against Georgia when yeah, exactly toseven. So this is why I say

(01:05:04):
this. In the pecking order,Ohio State takes care of business. With
the new PAC twelve teams coming intothe Big ten, I get to take
care of business. Okay, youhave to beat Michigan, then seed Well
and the four. Hopefully we seethe four ord hopefully I think we can.

(01:05:25):
Then we don't see only thing thatgives you a chance of your list
being correct. Yeah, they can'thave a freaking they can't have a run,
they can't have a meltdown in themiddle of the fucking season, and
you can't have a meltdown against yourbiggest rival. And we don't have the
starting quarterback to the Syracuse Orange anymore. Yeah. Yeah, So he actually

(01:05:48):
went out and got a fucking quarterbackthat hopefully should be legit that battle.
Now, I I ship you andnot us. Get well, Howard,
I'm one behind me. I'm readyto hear it at Kansas State. I'm
ready for it. He can leada fucking team. This is the year
that we need to do it.This is the year that we do it.

(01:06:11):
That's the fucking telling you. Now, we're the year, the first,
the first year of the CFP onefirst year, the twelve question mark.

good, but the guy that fuckingwon it only had fifty Honestly, I
counted him at fifty six. Thecontest decided at fifty seven right before they
went off air, and then heofficially had fifty eight. Joey Chestnut had
that fucking number down below five fuckingminutes, and you kicked Joey Chestnut out

(01:09:14):
because of a deal he took.But then he came out and said,
well, Joey can still come tothe contest. No apologize the fucking Joey
fucking Chestnut. Apologize. Everybody probablyturned on the Hot Dog Eating Contest to
watch that fucking man do fantastic thingsand breaking records. Look, because I'm
sorry the guys I went up there, I one hundred percent with have taken

(01:09:35):
Mickey subtle. Look. Man,never I've never seen a man eat Glizzies
like fucking Joey Chestnut. All right, dude, that man a freaking topped
ice cream and Walley and all thisother shit when I was out of the

be ingrid andress because that was badlast night. Gentlemen, that was bad.
You saw it. Everybody saw it, like she single handedly made everybody
else's bad national anthem. Fine,it's okay, but last night really was

(01:10:20):
a struggle like that. It wasa hard watch. Genuinely, I wanted
to actually turn the TV off.So that was it. Hurt It hurts.
So yeah, uh who you gotfor a unit this week? This
makes me feel better because as aBrowns fan, we've had a struggle with
kickers. Yes, and we justmade Dustin Hopkins one of the highest paid

(01:10:45):
kickers with the new extension of threeyear deal at set to make fifteen point
nine million. Big Dick himself,ready for it. Big Dick's back in
town, ready for it. Christhe Hop two point zero got paid.
Yes, yes, of course,DeAndre Hopkins got him. But then Dustin
Hopkins d Hop two. Yes,yeah, I know work at that nickname.
I'm just sending their honorable mention.I mentioned her Mickey Sodo world record.

(01:11:11):
She broke beat everybody within the women'scontests, and she's as much as
the fucking men. She's fucking phenomenal. Eric Badlands, another fucking record anyways,
fucking chugging. I here chugging,motherfucking bad Lands, Eric Booker,
let's fucking go anyways. My absolutefucking unit is the baseball clubs in both

(01:11:33):
Ohio. That's right, the CincinnatiReds and our Cleveland Guardians. Our fucking
the Guardians made it first place inthe Al Central and are playing great baseball
right now when everyone thought they weren'tgonna play hot. And the Reds,
yes, they hit a hot streak. Yes, Elie de la Cruz broke
the record for seals within the firsthalf of the baseball season. Record wise,

(01:11:54):
the Reds are under five hundred,but they're right where they need to
be if they want to make agood run into the playoff. I said
it before, and the Gray PaulJames said too. Baseball's a marathon,
not a not a race. It'sa marathon. And both the hot teams
are playing great marathon race, aredoing great marathon races. We might see
both of them in the playoffs thisyear. I'm sticking it in baseball,

(01:12:18):
uh, we are going with thenumber one overall draft pick for your Cleveland
Guardians. Travis Bozian Banzana, Ibelieve is how you pronounce it or Bozian
Banzana. Yeah, okay, goodsecond base, absolute unit. They're talking
about him maybe even coming up inthis season. Absolutely, there is conversations

(01:12:41):
of him being in Cleveland by theend of the season because give me in
ask a play short start. Theywant to move g over to short and
put him at second Lake County rightnow, well, I don't know where
they're gonna put him. He'll probablystart in Arizona and then they'll just kind
of game him up every every oncein a while. Ago, Yeah,
in the league to get him warmedup. He'll probably be in Lake County
before long Ago. Dude, hebatting four hundred. Okay, No,

(01:13:05):
he's going maybe Arizona for a weekand then he'll come to Lake County.
My question is in terms of them, but this should have been earlier,
is tug But but that's whole conversationof what's going on. Tugboat will get
to get his not too, don'tforget. I don't think he's up this
year, but within the year yearand a half, it's not gonna lie.
We had like Jahnkey, Noel hegot the NOD, Angel Martinez he

(01:13:29):
got the NOD, Dogs Dogs yes, but what what our manager's doing right
now, getting our young dogs calledup and getting them some reps, whether
it's a game, two games,a week of games, or anything,
and send them back down. That'shelpful. It's getting some experience afbs a
of uws. There it is.Are you ready for DB's three? What's

(01:14:04):
up? Fuckers? Long time doessee? I like keeping this little draft
style going. I'm enjoying it,dude. It's kind of fun now,
you know. I kind of stealthe five from another podcast, but they've
been doing this shit for so long, so I just kind of like,
I like five. Five seems likea good number, and we like to

(01:14:25):
throw out honorable mentions anyways, soit opens up more room. So we
are going to rewind for a second, back and we're going to do a
draft style of your top five sandwiches. Yes, and for everybody that's asking,
yes, a hot dog is asandwich, but you can't include a
hot dog on this, So gowith our things that need to be just
back backed out or said that shouldnot be a no like hot dogs burgers,

(01:14:53):
unless it has to be like asome sort of iconic sandwich from some
place. It can be from someplace. But let's say you pick it from
this place and there's another place thathas it, I can no longer pick
it. Okay, So who dowe start with? Last time on the
draft, we went with the youngest, so we go to the oldist.

(01:15:14):

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
