Speaker 1 (00:00):
Li Be lie Be lie b line. Light the beam.
All you guys and gals, We are back for another
night of the Sports Cave with biggest Puma. As always,

(00:21):
I am your host, Sam Freeze, broadcasting once again from
our palatial studios in an undisclosed address on the north
side of San Antonio, where we find ourselves a week
away from the Cowboys reporting to Oxnard. It's not just
the Cowboys, I think you guys, I want to say,

(00:42):
the Niners might be the same day, It might be
the twenties. Most of the league is reporting next Monday.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
I think under their players Association they only get two
weeks for training.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Of actual training camp. Yeah, I tell you know who's
been most affected by that, all of the team slurping
members of the media that now are only getting ten
days in Oxnard instead of three weeks. They've they've been
cut off from their Nobu sushi and there.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yeah, poor buddy.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Right now, they just have to go back and spend
more time with their families. God forbid. How about that.
You'll also be happy to know it's National mac and
Cheese Day.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Oh m, that pasta so funny story? Is I used that?

Speaker 1 (01:33):
How do you have a funny story about mac and cheese.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Okay, I got you know this has happened recently because
I hate going into a GB, just like the movement.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Oh, I got anb story for you later too.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
I can't stand it, you can't stand you. But I
ordered a Mac and cheese box and I thought it
was just a single box. Yeah, yeah, of course. And
no I got the twenty four value pack box. It
was only like five dollars.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Well that should tell you all you need to know
about the quality of what you ordered.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
First of all, I was like, I don't even know
if I want this. Man like it like it was.
It was like the size it was like two twelve
pack of SODA's that's how big the box was. And
I'm like, I gotta carry this inside. Just yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Then the embarrassment of lugging around this that much mac
and cheese. That voice you hear, of course, is the
cap back with me joining in the room, as well
as the glorious fat drops you hear, are the responsibility
of one LG.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
His favorite drop.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
I got too confident last week, got too confident, and
I assumed that we had no issues connecting to the
other room, only to find out only it did. The
connection was fine.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
It was just a user error user air.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
So we're going back to angers crossed.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
He just needs to mount the words someday and just
be like.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Do we have Yeah? That would that would be the worst.
That's the fear of any broadcast professional.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Is the the.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
The standalone dead air when something is supposed to be happening. LG,
can you hear us? Or better yet, can the people
hear you?

Speaker 2 (03:24):
God?

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Damn, I know, I don't know that. There goes the monetization.
Only good good, I am glad. I'm like we have
a stable connection because I wanted you specifically to know
that not only is it National mac and Cheese Day,
listen to this trifecta and tell me they're not just

(03:45):
doing tell me they're not doing bits with these national days.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
It's definitely bits.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
So it's National mac and Cheese Day. But it's also
Italy National Grand Marnier Day. Okay, okay, National Nude Day,
Nudist Day, just nude day, just be nude, and National
Tape Measure Day. So tell me what you get when

(04:15):
you combine those three days together.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
A drunken, naked person trying to measure something.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
That's correct, their maximum. They are absolutely doing bits good.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
We all know you measure from the taint you know what?

Speaker 1 (04:29):
I again fresh shave too, well, that just makes it,
that makes everything look bigger. Yeah, get wasted on Grand
Marnier Margarita's, get naked, and then bust your tape measure out.
Go go to town and report back on your findings.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Oh man, just imagine that tape measure you get, like
the construction one and it actually just.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Just snaps catches you. They're terrible. That would because the roommate,
speaking of we missed who won the Internet this week
and we'll talk about it in the weekend recap. We've
been battling illness on on the east side. But she

(05:13):
specifically because she buys so much like old antique furniture
and crap. Yeah, or I should say, and very nice things,
very things that I cherish for years as they take
up space and I stump my toe to room. There's
two of us. We have over thirty chairs in our house.

(05:36):
That is not a joke.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
What are you like a book club or something this
Bible study.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
It's just when when you see a good chair, you
just can't let it pass. You just got, you gotta
go for it. She carries around a little tape measure
in her purse to measure a desktop or you know,
a picture frame or something.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Is she finding the perfect chair.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Because it's not. It's not the perfect chair. It's just
the fact that we still have a small amount of
space that is unoccupied in our house. So what can
go there? How about this antique desk, how about this chair?

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Boarding we're bordering hoarding.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
So the only the only reason this is where this
is where, like most things, rich people call things different,
called the same thing something the mudroom.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
I learned what a mudroom was five years ago.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
A washroom. That's what we called them in the country
growing up. Was the back room.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
I thought it was just the doorway to put your
shoes at, you know.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Like there's a specific mud Yeah, the rich people don't
call it hoarding. If it's antiques.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Oh, you're collecting.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
You're collecting exactly. You're a you're a collector of vintage
furniture and things that.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Little antique show.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, And that's the other thing. The I love it
when you see the guy or or the you know,
you walk into a house and they're you know, obviously
eclectic and trying to be like this is our antique,
and it's like, man, like I had that in my
room as a kid in the eighties, Like it's only
it's only forty years old. Like there's nothing antique about

(07:22):
that whatsoever.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Which my mom didn't sell my antique Ninja Turtles at
the grog cell for five dollars.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Now, those might actually have held some value. Dude, I
had the whole collection. Have you looked at how much
you don't? You're better off that way?

Speaker 2 (07:37):
I had, he man, all the hemans. Just imagine that.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Dude, especially in this nerd just centric society's like.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
A little button all the all the wrestlers, Randy Savage, yea, those.

Speaker 1 (07:49):

No, that got I feel like that got circled enough.
And the toys r US catalog that finally by like
year three, they're like, he's not giving it up. We
find we just have to get this, dude.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
These kids will never know about collecting the target. The
toys are us all the Sunday the Sunday Edition papers
and just clipping out everything you wanted for Christmas and
the joy that we got hours and hours and we
show all our friends like what are you gonna get?
What are you gonna get?

Speaker 3 (08:31):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (08:31):
We got our like it was like trading cards.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Oh so it sounds I remember taking I remember passing
an edition of East Bay around like fifth grade for
homeroom class and everybody cutting out like what they wanted
so that we could all because one person had the magazine.
So I'm coming out right, because one person, you couldn't

(08:55):
have two people ordered the same Georgetown Hoyas shorts. We
needed separate ration amongst our friends. There were only like
eleven of us my town is.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
I think we just got like you know, you were
in a little higher tax bracket than me because Payless
was my shoes of choice.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Oh trust me. There were k nights the East like
Christmas was the one time.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
It wasn't until I was in my twenties.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
Really, oh man, maybe maybe that's a case of having
like older Si. I didn't have my friend.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
I never played sports, so like it was just Payless shoes.
I got a pair of Chucks. That was about it,
you know, just warm out.

God, I would love to see you play pick up
basketball tomorrow wearing a pair of Chuck Taylors. Oh man,
that would be that would be one of that would
That's my That's what I'm circling on my list. Hey man,
sand Lot's own, you know, call me the jet. It
holds up and holds up surprisingly well. Main segment tonight,

(09:58):
We're going to continue with our AFC previews. I know,
it seems like the local fandom for the team in Houston,
it seems like Texans fans are becoming louder and louder
here in San Antonio.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
So if you start winning, the Astros. I didn't hear
a lot from the Astros pre twenty seventeen, twenty sixteen, Oh,
when they were having.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Tear that stretch of you know, one hundred lost seasons,
when they were doing the seventy six ers. Trust the
process and it worked. It worked.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
I mean, the only player they had back then was
Carlos beltram On was the killer Bees left.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
There was one of those years that Houston's TV rating
and granted they had a terrible TV deal, the Astros
did and it was on. It was on like an
offshoot cable channel because they you know, they couldn't get
a good TV deal because they were actively tanking and
everybody knew it. They weren't hiding anything, weren't spending any money.

(10:58):
Their average TV rating for one of those seasons was
literally a point one, Like it was no there that
would equate to.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Less than ten thousand people watching.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Less than it was less than ten thousand. They averaged
TV viewership of like less than ten thousand, hair under
ten thousand.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
And those they need to get like a plaque of
their own stadium seating. They're they're like the loyalist fans. Ever, yeah,
I uh and you I would say, like the Rockies,
but like if you've ever gone to Opening Day in Denver,
they shut the city down.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Oh it was a they did.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Their was a wild thing, and I'm like, y'all have
never won anything.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
They did the reverse bit a couple of weeks ago
when the White Sox were in town and they sold
out the whole series because it was the battle of
the the two worst teams in the AL and NL,
and they had three straight days of sellouts for that.
Colorado is a great baseball town, a great baseball stadium too,
especially as we watched the home run Derby here in

(12:01):
the room. All we were pre show looking up the
longest because O'Nell cruise was destroying baseball.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
A minute ago. Dude, he's he like he might like
what was the longest one he had? Yead?

Speaker 1 (12:14):
His longest was five thirteen? All right, so at one
eighteen off the bat.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
So right now, pre Corse Field, because in course field,
you know how the ball flies. You got Otani, Pete Alonzo,
Trevor Story and Dfwrevor Juan Soto, and they all played
in twenty one in the twenty twenty one and of
course they hit like fur five fourteen, five eighteen, Juan

(12:44):
Soto five twenty. Is that the one at Cors that's
act cous so the ones not at Cores. You got
mister Aaron Judge at five thirteen, So he tied Judge.
And then the next one's Aaron Judge five thirteen, Next

Speaker 1 (14:50):
Oh buddy, you're Aaron Judge talked to start it immediately
cost us ten followers. Now, as I always say, it's
completely completely free. Really does The faster we grow those
followers of subscriber numbers, the more we can start putting
into the program. And of course, with football season coming

(15:13):
up here in the fall, we want to do I
want to have some new mics in the can so
we can do more hits outside of the rooms, do
some more football watch parties with potentially more than just
the three of us involved, more than just the four
of us if we add the roommate. Actually have some

(15:33):
some real hangouts with you half a dozen people on mic.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
So I've got a friend of mine that's a coach
over at a Cornerstone High school. Oh, very nice, and
I would love to have him on. And what's a
coach right now, he's the assistant coach, but I think
he coaches D line and linebackers like he's one of
the specialty because they have like multiple coaches.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Well, anyone who's interviewed coaches, No, you get more gold
from the assistants than the head guy. The head guys
a ce so where you get the goal.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
And I've known him since high school, so you know
he he'll definitely have some behind the scenes stories of
you know what's been going around on around San Antonio
in the football scene, and he's uh, I mean he's
out there doing it man, because a lot of his
kids got recruited, So I mean, I'm anxious to hear
like give those kids their shine and because they put

(16:25):
in the work. So I would love to have him on.
We need an extra mic for that one.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
San Antonio sports is haveing. It's not just obviously when
you think of high school sports, you think of football
because we're in Texas. Oh bear with me, I'm still
if you if you're watching the stream, I've got my
got my old school handkerchief because I'm still a little wait.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Let me let me pull you. Are you contagious, yes?
Are you here? Yes?

Speaker 1 (16:51):
Sick?

Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yes, Oh what are you doing?

Speaker 1 (16:54):
The show goes on as a as a famous man
once said, the show goes on. No, I think it's
just allergies. Don't worry too much. It's like you said
the other week, it hasn't been yellow.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
I've already caught everything. I'm on antibiotics still, so I'm.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
Gonna spectaculate to go. Yeah, I uh, what the hell
was I talking about, because now I've already started. Oh yeah,
it's not just it's not just football. You think of football,
because obviously we're in Texas, but just had a high
school baseball player drafted top twenty from here in San Antonio.

(17:30):
Had a bunch of kids selected from the college drinks
that played high school here in San Antonio. So it's good.
And of course, the top point guard recruit in this
most recent class, I think he's one or two, depending
on what recruiting service. You look at the kid from Brenham. Yeah, yeah,

(17:51):
he going to Houston, joining Kelvin Sampson's powerhouse program now
over there. So there's a lot, a lot of talent
in San Antonio.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
I never realized how big of a basketball school Houston
was until I remember the old school ebbed and flowed. Yeah,
but like like they got a solid program. Man, every
year they're in the top of the bracket. And that's
the only way I would know that. Yes, yeah, it's
only I only do the brackets. Other than that, like
I'm like, oh, let's see who's actually good this year.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
No, they've handled They've handled that. I mean they moved
into the Big twelve and just immediately kept dominating like
they had been in the American Athletic Conference and then
even further back before that. And it's I mean a
lot of it's Kelvin Sampson and what he's built. But
I say all of that as you can as there's

(18:45):
another call for you don't worry again, not contake this.
You're fine, You're fine. You're not gonna I'm just going.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
To scoop bag. Yeah, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
You'll be fine. It was besides just feeling a little down,
it was the first weekend where you know, like as
soon as that Chelsea game it did on Sunday, it
really hit home that like, all right now, it's like

(19:17):
I don't even get the Ranger game had already the precipice,
it's already you know, all Star weekend now, so they
you know, all the guys had already started to go
to Atlanta if they were being called in like it
is official deadiest week of sports of the entire year.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
As someone who's such a baseball fan, I always hated
that this is the worst time to be Yeah. I
get it, we don't get too sports, but I mean
we're ramping up on football, but this is baseball. This
is where teams can either get hot start pulling away.
You got Red Sox hotter than you know, they're Yeah,

(19:58):
they're crazy. Who else the Milwaukee Brewers.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
There, I mean Toronto shooting up those standing.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Yeah they lost a couple.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
Good thing is it back within a game or two?

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Now it's still two and a half. Okay, yeah we
have to win as well.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
Yeah that's how that works.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Yea, the trade off we have to win.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Yeah, there's there's usually a trade off there. It doesn't
just work how you want it to be, just the
other team losing. Trust me, I've seen the Rangers record.
I mean, granted, we're going to talk some baseball here
in a minute. They take two out of three down
in Houston, but the one game that they lost was
the one game that would have gotten them back to

(20:39):
five hundred. And their record this year when they're playing
in a game that could get them back to five hundred,
I think they're like four and eleven now or something
just awful.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
So they've had that many chances to get back to
five hundred.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
Majority of them. Majority of them were in the first
month of the season when it was you know that
jostling three and four, six and seven.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
They were below five hundred for like a right, been
below five hundred for like a month or two.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Yeah, now at this point and they draw. I think
they dropped as far back as like six games under
five hundred and then have slowly climbed back. But I've
got some I've got a couple of baseball fun facts
for you that include the Pittsburgh Pirates because we've been
you mentioned the other day talking about how Paul Skins,
you know, talking about win loss record versus have actual

(21:29):
performance with all of that war. So I've got a
fun since I saw that cross my timeline, I got
a fun stat for you on that. But no this weekend.
I agree with you as a baseball fan, it does
suck to hear people say that, But I also understand.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Every other time of the year, there's multiple sports.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
That's what it is. That's really what it is, because
there's a lot of people that like baseball, but if
it's the only thing they have to watch or you know,
the only thing available to watch, that's not enough of
a draw for the you know, give me, give me
a randall or you know, like two months ago it
was NBA NHL Playoffs while baseball was going on. Yeah,

(22:09):
so I think just baseball having the solo spotlight is
where you lose a lot of those.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
And then you go off from the Super Bowl to
you know, the run All Star Game for NBA and NHL,
and then you got the runs of the playoffs, and
then we got mixed with the Houston Cougar's invitation, and
you got the March March Madness, and then you got
the NFL Draft. Every month was hidden with something. It

(22:37):
was a big event, like golf, you know, like you
Masters coming up. So yeah, I get it, I get it.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
I guess we do have Yeah, yeah, with the Open
Championship this week.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah, that's uh. Those Scottish. My dad, of course, he's
such a trader. He's like, did you see the kid
from ou win the Scottish Open and I'm like, yeah,
we don't like you. We're from Stillwater. Oh no, anything Oklahoma.
I'm like, you're such a trader.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yeah, that that's not how that works. Like, how many
aggies would you ever hear say, wow, se ut won
the SEC good for them?

Speaker 2 (23:14):
Anything at all?

Speaker 1 (23:16):
Anyone that tells you anything in all Texas is actually
just a mister. There's no There are allegiances that are
drawn for a region a reason.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
It's called it's called bedlam. You only get one side
in Bedlam.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
Yeah, I don't know how you could. Ever. I don't
know how you could.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
Ever.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
There's very few scenarios where I think I ever end
up rooting for a rival team of my own. Oh yeah,
Like I can't think of a good I mean like
when people would say when it would be like, oh, well,
at least some one team from Texas won the World Series. Yeah,
but it was the one in Houston. Like that's not.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Like, yeah, I'm a ranger.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
Yeah, I can't stand that lot. I cannot handle that logic. Yeah,
it was like, well, no, there's you realize certain parts
of this state don't cross pollinate with the others.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Yeah, and we're big enough to be like eight states.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
Come on, man, Yeah, that's the other thing like that,
does someone in North Carolina say, oh, man, I'm damn
happy the Yankees one, because that's the equivalent of here
to love it exactly. That doesn't that just doesn't make
any sense whatsoever. But no, it was. It was a
lot of a lot of laying around the house this
weekend because I I'd mentioned, you know, I.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
So no selivatory to uh no three pm drinks you
know after Chelsea what No, I thought you'd be tearing
it up down there.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Now I'll tell you what we did do though, So
by Sunday both of us were ready to do something
outside of the house because I mean we're talking, you know,
we I think every meal, every meal I ate, from
Friday night till Sunday afternoon was all in our house,

(25:03):
which was great because that's the one good thing. Like
when when both me and the roommate are sick, Yeah,
it's a I know, like we're in it together.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
So that's when the like quality time.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
Well well not that it's miserable time, because we're both
terrible contankerous, but it's sholes when we're sick.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
It's like you're in the bunker with that yeah yeah, yeah,
locked down like you always have that connection.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
You might be in a World War two pill box,
but at least you're in there with your buddies. It's
your closest friends. Uh now it was.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
You know.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Anytime we're both sick, I know that means we're gonna
get like a whole batch of potato soup that will
make you know. It's like neither one of us do
a lot of cooking at home to begin with, Like.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
We're just I'm not a patient person.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
The extent that we do, it's like an h B
meal of just throw it in the oven and it's
ready in twenty minutes.

Speaker 5 (25:57):
You know.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
Uh so when we're sick, because when we actually do
get homemade like stuff made, some jalapeno cheddar biscuits.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
Oh wow, from scratch.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Hell yeah, that's the only way to do it. But again,
there are persons to being sick. Yeah, I get these
genes don't fit nearly as well as they did last week.
But Sunday, Sunday afternoon, after the Chelsea game, we ended
up making the long backway drive to Austin because I

(26:30):
know this is going crucif like we're about to get
killed for this. But every now and then the roommate
and I drive to Austin just specifically for roses.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
For what roses.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
The Yeah, the Roses tortilla factory, the West Texas, white
tex mex Mexican food you can find. And it's not
because people a thousand white people. It's not because it's
better than anything here, it's not.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
It's just it's.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
Something like we it a lot when when she was
at Tech and Lubbock, and so every now and then, uh,
you know, we still drive over, especially when like uh
you know, like we were both sick, so we were
both kind of feeling like, yeah, needs something I need, uh,
something that's not going to taste that great unless roses.

(27:20):
You want to advertise something that's going to the nostalge
that one, Yeah, the nostalgia factor of it. But no,
we drove up uh you know, the back way up
past Canyon Lake and then all the way through Wimberley.
So I mean we turned an hour drive into like
an hour forty five minute drive just Putson no rush, Yeah,

(27:41):
beautiful there. I would highly suggest, I know, there's the
new toll way that you can take now, that kills
all the time. Avoid always avoid thirty five. But yeah, uh,
if you have the time and you haven't made that
drive in a while, I would highly high suggest it
because it's not it's not that I forgot. I think

(28:04):
it's just, uh, you know, maybe ticket for granted a
little bit when you don't actually get out there and
see it often enough.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
I'll tell you, man like, I always drove up to
Oklahoma through thirty five. And my buddy who got his
bedroom tickets to one of the one of the last
football games. He we went up to eighty one and
through the scenic route through all the little towns and
all the little thing and he was like a little
tour guy because he's done it. He used to live.

(28:33):
I guess he used to live like and make that
road trip all the time. But he was sitting there like, yeah,
there's a little lake down here, a little river over here,
this town over here has got a little strip mall
like like it was beautiful, I'll tell it, man like.
Going up to eighty one was. Yeah, it put about
thirty forty five more minutes on our trip, but it
was a lot more scenic than thirty five. And dealing

(28:54):
with Austin.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Yeah, and the way Waco is now, I mean, Waco's
just as bad, if not worse than Austin. Trying to
trying to get.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
Oh yeah, basically Georgetown, like Austin's seeped up, and my
parents lived in Georgetown, which is, yeah, twenty miles away
from Waco.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
A little first, there's a bigger gap.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
There is a little bit bigger gap. But like it's
it's spreading, it's going further up.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Oh, the sprawl is absolutely unstoppable. Yeah. We uh, I considered,
since I was laid up all weekend, I almost broke
my new rule that I started a couple of years
ago when it comes to video games, I am flat
out no longer I refuse. I will no longer pay

(29:39):
full price for a video game because what always happens is,
like to take the new one. For example, College Football
twenty six. Yeah, it released last week. Okay, if you
pay one hundred dollars, if you buy the one hundred
dollars version of the game.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
You get all the DLCs you sure, but.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
What you also get is you get it three days
early access, so like you could start playing it on
Monday or Tuesday when it doesn't come out till Thursday Friday,
you know, Thursday at midnight, Friday morning, whatever.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
Yeah, so they'll.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Charge you thirty extra dollars. Basically, you're paying ten dollars
a day to get access to play it three days early. Yeah,
and then it goes on sale for the full price,
and then usually within like three weeks it's already marked
down fifteen to twenty percent. So you're like, when every

(30:34):
single game.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
You're gonna wait, You're gonna wait a couple a couple months, I'll.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
Wait, I'll wait at what my new rule is the
very first time it's on sale, I buy it.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
I wonder if they do, like the opening day of
college football. Oh, we're gonna put it on sale.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
Yeah, oh I would. I would assume they do something
with it, but I'm not. I can't look. I'm also
a fiend. I can't wait that long. That's that's just absurd.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
That's that is out that is out land is.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yeah, that's just way too ridiculous to ask. I'm sure
LG is uh uh dealing with some of the same stress.
I mean those it's even worse for these new Nintendo games.
They're charging eighty bucks and Nintendo never does sales exactly
because they have such a captive audience. They know Nintendo

(31:21):
people will just pay it.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Oh LG. Would you just pay one hundred dollars just
to get the game you know, pre ordered and get
it early.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
No, I don't wait till I can get it used
to copy.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
He's still cheap.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Yeah, you know it pays to be got.

Speaker 4 (31:36):
I got a big backlog of games, so I'm not
in any hurry.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Oh oh yeah, you got. You got the pass though, Like,
now on the video game pass you have, do you
have to like, is there like a waiting line for
the switch games or no?

Speaker 1 (31:53):
It's not like the public library.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
I think it's it's everybody can play. Yeah, I will.
I will.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
Like you sound like the roommate waiting for a book.
She's like, Oh, there's only three people ahead of me
in line. I think I'm gonna get it. The week
they had to search.

Speaker 4 (32:11):
The returned videotape in front of Blockbuster, Hey did they
did anyone return?

Speaker 2 (32:16):
You know?

Speaker 1 (32:17):
I don't know. Hold on, let me check the bin
that we just put in front of the night drop
and see if anybody is talking.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
To a Blockbuster ex employee. And we were having to
go against Netflix at that time, and the what you
might call it the past, the movie past that you got.
Oh man, we had to sell them like like I
mean I sold them one.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
Yeah about game pass was great.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Every time they come up with two movies. I was like, look, man,
you can sit here and pay an extra dollar in
this whole month, especially during the summer. You can run
as many movies as you want, and then you can
just cancel it. And like, my manager, just stop telling
people to cancel it after a month. Yeah, you just
just so you get the pre order numbers and stuff.
And I'm like, hey, man, maybe they like it and

(33:05):
they stay on. I'm like, I'm trying to hook them,
you know what I'm saying, Like here, you can just
have the one and stop. But no, I'm trying to
you know, crack rock.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
I was about to say, it sounds like your manager
didn't understand the uh economics of the real world.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
Yeah, out of how things actually exactly. He's like, because
we have more drop off numbers and I was like,
but how's.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
Our subscription, Yeah, but how's those Well.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
We're leading everybody else.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
And I'm like, so what are we actually talking about here?

Speaker 2 (33:31):
I was like, do I need to teach you economics?

Speaker 1 (33:34):
It kind of sounds like it. Yeah, I'm I've seen
a lot of the gameplay and uh, you know some
of the footage coming out of the new College Football Game.
They actually seems like they have added a lot. They
actually have Metallica now for Virginia techs uh you know,
stadium entrance they have. They have way more licensed official

(33:56):
licensed music now. They even you know how, what.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Does that have to do with the game.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
It's the full immersive experience. You want it to feel
like you're actually running out of the tunnel in Blacksburg, Virginia.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
And they play Metallica every time.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
Every inner Sandman. They cause an earthquake every home game.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
The greatest closers Intro Intro music.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Actually believe they did it first because they've been doing
it since the song. Actually, I'm gonna go with the
eight people. Wait, is it Lynchburg or Blackberg? Lynchburg is Liberty?
I think it's Blackberg, Virginia. But they have the other

(34:40):
big addition I saw to it. You know how, the
Oregon Duck. Whenever you're in opposing whenever you're kicking in
uh Oregon Stadium. They just put the duck's eyes like
real zoomed in up on the big screen. Even have
that now, Okay, okay, I'm not saying it's still not
work detail. Still I'm not worth paying full price, but

(35:02):
I will be hoping to snag that as soon as
that again, as soon as that first cell hits last thing.
I almost I couldn't bring myself to go to a
movie theater. While I was all snifflee and wheezing.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
You're probably be the only one in there.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
Well by the time they heard me sneeze for about
the third consecutive time, they might have left. But have
either one of y'all seen. There's two movies that are
on my list, And I'm not not a real big fan.
Usually I'm see I used to, but now it's not

(35:41):
even the price of it. It's the like all every
movie theater now is either like draft house. Here's a
full menu item, or it's like a dollar theater quality.
There's no like in but like, I don't want to
go to a place that's gonna serve prime rib but
I don't want to go to a place where my

(36:02):
shoes stick to the floor.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
Like there's no there's some in between ers, but like,
I have a revolutionary movie idea, but I'm not going
to put it on here because the onlybody's stealing it.
I was about to say it's it's revolutionary, I'm telling
you man.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
Oh that was another one.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
They had the it's gonna change the game.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
But they thought they had changed the game with that
movie pass that they did. Remember that when speaking of the.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
Blockbuster Everything everything. My guy one of my friend zones
a car wash.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
I think they had a lot of houseless people. Yeah,
they couldn't write, they couldn't get them on. I think
that was because they would just buy the they used
to call them homelessly and they just stay all day
in the movie theater.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
Yeah, oh my god, Yeah, I mean they maybe that
maybe that was like babysitting too, like where they just
drop off their kids and they're like, here, watch all
the PG movies you want, you know, yeah, just stay
for the in the hours and they're not buying the
thirteen dollars nachos or something. But yeah, like everything is
gone to subscription base. Like even like my friend owns

(37:10):
a tunnel car wash and he goes to these big old,
biggest conferences of all the people who own multiple car
wash and super packs and all this kind of stuff,
and he's like, it's all about subscriptions. It's all about
that monthly pass.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
Oh. Every time I go to any of them here,
it's like, yeah, they're all for the price of this
one wash you're about to get, you could get a
month's subscription.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
Because they sit there and roll that into and being like, look,
we have this much month's description, so lend us more money, bank,
because we have guaranteed money coming in, and so we
can build another one exponentially, and exponentially build another one
another one.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
It's the same but a little different. Like Starbucks is
the biggest bank in the world. Yeah, because they sell
the like put fifteen dollars on your Starbucks card exactly,
You're never you know, half of those people are never
even spending the fifteen dollars. But Starbucks now has that
money the gift card, and they can spin it into.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
I don't know how many gift cards I have in
my basket from people that I just rarely use and
then every once in WHI I'll just give them out
to people's birthday.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
Nah, that's a good bit until you realize, like you
gave someone one that had like seven dollars and thirty
cents on it. Yeah, oh will fare on old school.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
Hey it's a breadmaker. Look there's three speeds.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
Again. You're again talking about a movie that holds up. Now,
I have either one of y'all seen the f one
movie or the Superman movie.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
I want to see both those. I want to see
Superman in the theater.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
So that's what that's what I'm saying. I feel like
both of those movies are ones I need to see
in a theater as opposed to watching on So let
me peel back.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
Let me peel back the curve, because like, I'm probably
too old to even get this off the ground. The
revolutionari are area. The revolutionary idea is boxes that give
you like a ninety inch screen and comfortable seating where
it's like semi circle around. You know, you can have
a waiter come in with you and whatnot. And basically
you're not paying for the movie. You're paying for the time,

(39:17):
so you can watch any movie you want, pause it,
stop it, I need to go to the bathroom. Break
so you have full control over it. And you're in
a box, so you get the surround sound, you get
the I'm with my people stuff, so you can cut up,
you can rewind it if you want, and you just
pay for how much time you're in there.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
So it's basically like treating a movie theater like your living.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
Room exactly, and you get access to all the movies
that are on things. So if you're halfway through a
movie and you're just like, man, this movie's kind of whack,
y'all want to stay and try to watch another one? Boom,
Now you're in there for three hours instead of two hours,
and then you're paying just for.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
The time onto something.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
Dude, revolution, I was shot it down.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
I was ready to shoot it down too.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
But like, and here's another thing. You can switch up
the box and be like, hey, let's do some karaoke
and stay here a little while longer. Oh, let's watch
this TV show.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
It's it's almost similar to the way you rent a
bay at Top Golf exactly.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
And it's that karaoke room. A karaoke room over in Japan,
I'm sure like a.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Karaoke room at the end of Austin Highway down there, I'm.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
Sure familiar with the experience. You just sit there and
cut up with your friends and however long you're in
there is however long you pay, and then you're paying
for drinks paying.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
You might not should have said that one out loud,
because I kind of think that's actually a pretty solid deal.

Speaker 2 (40:42):
Man.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
I was fully prepared to have whatever you were about
to say, and now I'm thinking I might know I
might have potential investors.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
Pending pen pending.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
That doesn't You don't get to just say, l G,
are you a are you a comic book movie guy?
I forget?

Speaker 2 (41:07):
Absolutely not.

Speaker 1 (41:08):
No, yeah I did. I did.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
Too cool. He's too cool for school man.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
Normally, there's just too many of them.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
That's my problem.

Speaker 3 (41:15):
It's too many.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
But I heard this Superman is like, like, it's it's
James Gunn. First time.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
I've heard it's anti Semitic or anti Zionist. I've heard
it's woke. I've heard it's a return. I've heard Christopher
Reeves would love it.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
Immigrants, I've heard it, and I'm like, do you understand
that Superman was the original immigrant?

Speaker 1 (41:35):
Well, it was actually an alien.

Speaker 2 (41:36):
But that was the immigrant.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
Like, I mean, it's it's the medal.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
How do we treat this person that doesn't belong? Sure,
guess what the Mexicans don't belong.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
We put him in the middle of Kansas, so surrounded nothing.

Speaker 3 (41:50):
He was a farm boy from Kansas.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
Yeah, I've enjoyed seeing anytime. This is just at this
point where we are, we are officially the silliest country
on Earth. We're just, it's the best word for it
is just. It's silly. Everything is silly. And the conversations
and you know, dialogue around the New Superman movie.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
I'm like, just go have fun, Man exactly, That's what
it is.

Speaker 1 (42:16):
It's like, guys, it's it's it's it's like this character also,
I think was alongside like Fat Nazis' like it's not
like it's just fun. It's a stupid comic book movie.
Why why are we getting so worked out? Or the
people that are like, uh no, it's I can't, I
can't do it. There's a there's a dog with a Kate.

(42:36):
It's like it's too much.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
It's super Dog.

Speaker 1 (42:38):
It's crypto, like I think, and I think I think
his first appearance was like the early nineteen fifties when
I'm told everything was better back then, but now it's
you can't have the dog in the movie, were just
every every single person of every ideological background, will find
something to argue about with everything, and if it was

(43:00):
like Superman's a perfect the.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
Roasting Ironheart, the little six part series on Disney Plus,
because one of the characters sluggers something like that, or
was like in the comics like like this gargantuane blob
tech genius and stuff. And then it's now it's like
a like a lesbian black girl and it's like who

(43:27):
cares man? I mean, like, first off, you're not going
to be able to find someone that big because it
was a comic book and that stuff was fictional.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
You know, that's the other when when comic books get
treated as you know, some sort.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
Of real life type scenario.

Speaker 1 (43:44):
Well and also the you know the ways that it
I think every single comic ever except maybe Dick Tracy
has been like changed to fit the era that it
came out in. Like the Batman TV show was different
than the Man first movies. We're different, yeah, different than

(44:04):
the Saturday Morning cartoon from our It's just something that
we of course, it's when.

Speaker 2 (44:10):
We're not actually outraged, when.

Speaker 1 (44:13):
We're not arguing about things that are actually important and
actually affect our day to day lives, we find a
superhero movie or a Disney movie that's gone woke to
fight over at that.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
Point and I'm like, man, these are fictional characters.

Speaker 1 (44:30):
It's still real to me.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
Damn it.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
Crypto doesn't belong.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
Well, what the hell is the internet?

Speaker 1 (44:37):
Yeah? I need to see F one before Superman because
I think it's gonna leave theaters first.

Speaker 2 (44:44):
But does Brad Pitt have that staying power like you
used to? I like, the kid's doing money. The kid
from Snowfalls in it too.

Speaker 1 (44:53):
Man, Yeah, the other driver.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
So he's a good actor. Man, Like I did not
know he was British. You know, if you watch Snowfall
like I did five seasons in.

Speaker 1 (45:01):
It's always unfortunate when you start to like a guy
and then you hear him do an interview and you're like,
oh my god, so she has you start hearing that
Cockney accent. You're like, you son of a bitch, You
actually job, You actually convinced me that you were one
of us, and now.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
You acted like you weren't something.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
Else Again, what a novel is? What a novel con you?

Speaker 2 (45:28):
Fold me.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
Let's get into some weekend sports because obviously, you know
my highlight of the weekend. I think I said last Wednesday,
when we were talking about the Chelsea PSG game, I said,
you know, PSG had two harder opponents or two better

(45:49):
opponents the last two games when they played Byron and
Real and Dortmund, and it felt like Chelsea had a huge,
huge task ahead.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
So do you think they just ran out of gas after?
I mean, but like they cruised through those matches, man
like Real Madrid did not put up a fight because
obviously there were three to zero within fifteen minutes.

Speaker 1 (46:13):
I think Chelsea out PSG. PSG they basically ran a
mirror strategy against them, Yeah and out. I think the
other thing you mentioned it more games. They just finally
the legs gave out, and I think that was obvious.
But you could also say, you know, Chelsea played I
think a game or two less games total because Chelsea

(46:36):
made their deep run into Europa Conference League, but PSG
was playing I think they had sixty five or sixty
six games this season, and granted playing in a lesser
league in France, but playing in Champions League unlike Chelsea,
they had a lot more high stress, high leverage situations

(46:58):
than Chelsea. But you know that PSG team only gave
up three goals one time all season until Sunday. Yeah,
one game that they had ever that they had, they
got them. Yeah, first half and it was you know
a lot of it was individual masterclass from the Chili

(47:20):
Bowl sporting Cole Palmer. I hope he. I hope, like
Andrew or Anthony Davis, how he would refuse to shave
the unibrow forever. I hope Cole Palmer keeps the absolutely
nerdy ass Chili Bowl that he is rocking forever. Nike
even did a great commercial that came out this past

(47:43):
week that him leaning heavy. He looks like Oliver Tree.
I mean, it just looks like a bit and I'm
absolutely here.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
This eighteen year old kid that just turned eighteen that
is like taking everything by storm.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
You have to be more specific. That's pretty much international
soccer in a nutshell.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
Yeah, I mean he's starts with the y.

Speaker 1 (48:04):
It's like, I mean, you mean, the guy who just
got busted for potentially having Dwarves perform at his birthday
party over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (48:18):
Where do you get your news?

Speaker 1 (48:22):
That was like that was I think it just broke
this afternoon. Apparently in Spain there's something called a you know,
they have like a of age. No, it's like a
legal no. No, it's a legal division that specifically tracks
potential crimes against people of people with disabilities. And so

(48:46):
I think like he's going to end up.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
Investigating like Wolf on Wall.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
Street where they throw the war you know, onto the
onto the people exactly, they talk amongst each other.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
You know, you don't want to make him angry.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
Well, it's better than what Jerry called Larry Lacewell when
he referred to him as a little midgie.

Speaker 2 (49:06):
Oh we could have gone without that, but.

Speaker 1 (49:10):
I feel like you got to take advantage of the
ones that you can still you could still get a
dig in on uh now it I think that's what
you're talking about. He actually was in the in the
news for that I saw earlier. But yeah, no, I
mean it makes me uncomfortable as a Chelsea fan because
I almost feel like, you know, like Chelsea isn't that

(49:30):
They're about to play in champions they got their first
top four finish in the Premier League in five years.
They've now won this new club World Cup that potentially
is going.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
To be all the attention is going to be. I mean,
they so they I thought they devoted to Champions League.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
Promoted to Champions League. Back in Champions League. I thought
they were set up to have a really good year
next year. Now this gonna get It makes me so
much It makes me so much much more uncomfortable that
they actually did, which is also what I think a
proper British soccer fan feels like.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
The but hey, when you get that momentum, did I
know that word? So that word triggers you a little
bit exact moment, perfect example, we'll get that momentum.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
What happened to PSG's momentum where they were just demolishing everybody, Well.

Speaker 2 (50:22):
What happened is Chelsea scored on them early and their
momentum got crushed, and then they started flustering. A little
bit took and then all of a sudden it was just,
oh man, we're not I thought we could cake walk
through this like we've done everything else. But now they
got a little momentum, They're starting to get a little
bit more adrenaline. They're running a little bit faster.

Speaker 1 (50:44):
I can't wait for.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
The ball breaks the way a little bit more.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
For some reason, I can't wait for the first time
in this NFL season where a team drives down scores
what should be the game winning touchdown and then the
idiot kicker misses the extra point. It's like, well, hey,
I thought they had the moment.

Speaker 3 (51:00):
An idiot picker.

Speaker 1 (51:03):
That, yes, I didn't expect.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
We actually Peyton talking about what was it, vander Jett.

Speaker 1 (51:09):
Yeah, yeah, vander Jack getting wasted.

Speaker 2 (51:12):
Talking about this game, talking about my drunken idiot kicker.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
That's still that's still an iconic line. Yeah, I h
it's the biggest storyline is not Chelsea winning that game.
It's the Trumpster not leaving the stage as they were
raising the trophy like that they're eating the dog. That
was hilarious. As soon as the head of FIFA, Infantino,

(51:38):
started to try to get him to like come this way,
I could immediately Tay It's like, no, he's not moving.
He's staying like he's staying for this trophy lift to
the point where Chelsea to today putting out their official picture.
You know, for some of them lifting the trophy, they
photoshop Trump out, but he was right there next to
the captain, next to like it was captain with the

(52:00):
trophy Trump Cole Palmer behind him, And then uh, I'm.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
Saying where where was this Where was this? Where did
they play at.

Speaker 3 (52:09):
For this New Jersey?

Speaker 1 (52:11):
Yeah? MetLife?

Speaker 2 (52:12):
This was in So the Champions League thing? Was it?
Oh okay? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (52:18):
And so it's all tied into.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
I didn't know they played that here.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
You know, the fact that we're playing or the fact
that we're hosting the world.

Speaker 2 (52:26):
Why didn't we get that game at night? Why is
it two pm?

Speaker 1 (52:29):
Global audience?

Speaker 2 (52:30):
Ah, there you go. That's like mostly because we got
I thought it was over like across the pond.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
Right, That's why we got so many of these like
eleven and two o'clock kickoffs, because it's FIFA maximized, maximizing
global audience.

Speaker 2 (52:45):
I'm not going anywhere. Oh my god, Like, dude, that
dude is losing his mind. Like, I'm sorry, if we
can call a spade a spade, where Biden losing his mind,
this dude can't stay on top.

Speaker 1 (52:58):
Of Oh no, but that's the problem. We can't because
if Biden had stayed.

Speaker 2 (53:01):
Released the files, it would release the Epstein files.

Speaker 1 (53:04):
Buddy, that ship is seld. They're they're already like Charlie
Kirk has changed tune when when you've got him leading
the charge, they're they're moving.

Speaker 2 (53:14):
On to that sad thing, all those poor poor children.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
You want to talk some baseball h yes, Yankee minute,
give it to me, Queue it up.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
Wow. Mister Jazz Chisholm wanted to be into the home
run derby. He just embarrassed himself and only got like
two or three with the greatest home run derby chand himself,
mister Aaron Judge, I already read you all the stats
on the longest balls ever hit, you know, not in Colorado.
But we had we had to face some tough teams. Man.

(53:51):
We got one out of two on the Cubs once again,
our All Star pitcher Matt Free Matt Free he or
Fry I always get his name wrong because I want
to say Fried. But he had a blister on his
finger and gave up four runs and we could not
get back in that game. Judge hit his thirty fifth,

(54:13):
which ties the Yankee record for most home runs hit
Roger Maris most home runs hit before the All Star breaks,
so he could actually sit there and try to make
a run for it again and try to get into
maybe sixty four sixty five. But Kyle Rolly went one
for eleven, so I think we kinda put that shift

(54:36):
to sail.

Speaker 1 (54:37):
Oh, that shift to sail all alarm, you know that
alarm tells me that's enough Yankees song.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
I'm surprised, don't like that alarm.

Speaker 1 (54:47):
I'm surprised the Yankees record is only thirty five homers
before the All Star Break. I mean that's a lot,
don't get me wrong, but just because the number of
masters they've had over I'm surprised it's not a random.

Speaker 2 (55:00):
The only master we had in the American League was
that during the Royds era was King Griffy, you know.

Speaker 1 (55:06):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
Bonds all National League. So I mean then we had
maybe it was at Rafael Palmarow. I think he was.

Speaker 1 (55:18):
A fifty to fifty season.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
Yeah, So like that's why the record was sixty sixty
one home runs for the American League, but seventy three.

Speaker 1 (55:27):
I guess working back in my head, working backwards, I mean,
who's the big master, biggest master y'all have had, sense judge,
even a Rod? Yeah, okay, ay Rod, Yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (55:37):
Yeah, I'm it was supposed to be, you know, standing
a Rod going back to back twin Towers, which, by
the way, whenever both of them hit a home run
in the same game, they are like forty five and one,
like it's some crazy record. They've only had one loss
when both of them hit a home.

Speaker 1 (55:55):
Run Judge and Stanton.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
Yeah, it's a great, it's a great.

Speaker 1 (55:59):
Things like that should be the case if you're getting
so we uh.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
We just needed Uvaldi, so why don't you just go
ahead and hand him up? Man?

Speaker 1 (56:08):
Speaking of him, he had a great start on Sunday
to close out that Astro series, ended up going seven
and two thirds eight strikeouts. Just yeah again, Uh, Adulees
had a great series which might.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
Be hopefully runs this week.

Speaker 1 (56:26):
This is hopefully increasing his trade value maybe because uh, we.

Speaker 2 (56:30):
Don't you can you don't want you don't want to
trade a hitter. You need to trade pictures.

Speaker 1 (56:35):
Yeah, but the Adulees one is more contract related. I
mean he's only got he's got one more year of
arbitration eligibility and it's gonna he's like nine, it's like
seven mild Yeah.

Speaker 2 (56:46):
Redfield, Yeah, we don't need no Field.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
But his defensive metrics plummeted last year after being a
Gold Glover the two years before, So that's weird. And
he's thirty two. So it feels like and Rangers actually
have some decent depth. You know Langford Carter in the outfield.

Speaker 2 (57:03):
Did you catch that the leather beans like slung by Judge,
like robbing a home run, flying like frontward flying Superman
catch and then running damn near into the wall like.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
Let's see it in the let's see it in the playoff.
He's not you mentioned then? Why does his manager play
him there? You mentioned the injuries Paul skins Uh last
week talking about how you know, it's hard to understand
his greatness when you see the when lost record the

(57:41):
upside down like it is. Well, first of all, the
Pirates lost Saturday. That loss put their overall entire history
of their organization, their overall record until Saturday, they were

(58:01):
a they had a winning record. With the lost Saturday,
they now have ten thousand, eight hundred and seventy seven
wins ten thousand, eight hundred and seventy seven losses. To
put it even further in perspective.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
Most that Barry Bonds, Bonds.

Speaker 1 (58:19):
The Dave Stewart and we are family Pirates in the
seventies eighties with the hats.

Speaker 2 (58:27):
Yeah, if you hear.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
Any noise, it's just me and the boys. God rest
his soul. The last time the Pirates were under five
hundred as a franchise. Guess a year, take a year
the last time nineteen forty five, nineteen o three. Whoa,
because they did so much winning in the early Hannas

(58:52):
Wagner early early and then we're able to build enough
of a cushion until they had that run in the seventies.

Speaker 2 (59:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:03):
They they've only made the playoffs like four times in
the last fifty years. Something just ridiculous. And three of
them are under this current ownership group. But they're still
trying to run him out of town because it's still
not enough.

Speaker 2 (59:18):
I feel like they haven't done anything. Was it McCutcheon,
Was he he was a Pirate right, Yeah, the McCutcheon, Uh,
he was when he went on his MV.

Speaker 1 (59:27):
They had a Jason Bay Jason Kendall team that did
did pretty decent. They had a good picture on that
team too. But speaking of Pirates pitchers, Paul Skiing's e
r A in July is one point two.

Speaker 2 (59:43):
Jeez.

Speaker 1 (59:45):
He hasn't won a game since May. He didn't win
any games in June and hasn't won a game yet.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
Stripes. He does in the Old Timer, The Old Time
outfits and the Pirates they got pinstripes.

Speaker 1 (01:00:01):
He's the level of, you know, actually having the national
notoriety of being able to force I mean it's like
Strasburg in the National with the Nationals, where it was like, look,
either trade me now or show me that you're going
to invest, and then Nationals win the World Series? Is

(01:00:21):
they actually spent.

Speaker 2 (01:00:22):
Moneys good as schemes? Is? You know who baseball is
little wonder boy right now is the Miss the miz
and Milwaukee and the Miss of Milwaukee. Who got he?
He wasn't he wasn't nominated, he got he replaced a
picture on the All Star after only five starts. I

(01:00:44):
get it. You can throw some stuff, you know, and
he's got gas. He's thrown over one hundred and that's
that's always fun.

Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
I think he gave up one hit over his first
two starts.

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
I mean it's a it's a that's when they don't
have tape on someone sure, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:00:59):
Special a flamethrower too.

Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
I'm looking at it like our guy was a schlittler,
you know, like coming in he's a rookie. In his
first one he was throwing gas. But I mean he
gave up two solo home runs, but they get him
on a pitch count. He's on a pitch count because
he's a rookie and they called him up. You don't
get an All Star thing, I mean, Philly.

Speaker 1 (01:01:21):
That him being selected or the commissioners selecting Clayton Kershall.

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
As a Legends pick. Yeah, see that's because of the.

Speaker 1 (01:01:29):
Three terrible to me, like either one should be in
Atlanta for the All Star Game.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
Yeah, and then you got what was it? Phillies actually
gave their guy a fifty thousand dollars little was it
fifty thousand or like a five hundred thousand because in
their contracts they always get a little bonus if they
make if they're an All Star, like if they would
gold Glove or do anything kind of like that. So
they gave I don't know which picture was, but he

(01:01:56):
should have been on the All Star team. He was
a snub and the organization coughed up some money and
gave it to him, which, you know, good for you.
You're in the race. I mean, you're in the hunt.
You're up there and you want to keep your guys happy.
Philly to me, feels like half a million keeps me happy,
you know.

Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
Feels like what Houston is in the AL where it's
like every year, I never think they're going to be
in the thick of it, but they always are. They
feel inevitable.

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
Who's in their division? Milwaukee's in the division?

Speaker 1 (01:02:30):
No, Philly is the Atlanta Florida at New York Mets.
It's the Ale or n L East.

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
Oh yeah, it's the Mets and Phillies that always like
go after and the mess.

Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
Just always oh in the nuts. And they're the Bombynationals.

Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
So I would say, I mean, I guess, well.

Speaker 1 (01:02:49):
Here, let's just do this right here, real quick, because
I have it on the run sheet. These are as
we enter the All Star Break. Yeah, home run derby tonight.
These are your division leaders. Okay, give me a thumbs up,
thumbs down? Yes or no? Is this the team you
think wins the division. We'll start with that. Phillies have

(01:03:09):
a half game lead over the Mets.

Speaker 2 (01:03:12):
Over the Mets, the Mets are streaky, Bryce Harper, I'd
have to see their injury, but I'm gonna go with
the thumbs up.

Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
Yeah, I think the Phillies. I think the Phillies end
up holding that. Yeah, Cubs have a one game lead
over the Brewers.

Speaker 2 (01:03:31):
The Cubs, man like, I think the Cubs go for it.
They got some they got some pitching, and I think
they're gonna They're gonna make a move before the trade deadline.
So that's a thumbs up for me.

Speaker 1 (01:03:40):
Yeah, I think that stays chalked to This one is interesting,
not necessary. So Dodgers have a five and a half
game lead over the Padres, thumbs up. But they also
only have a six game lead over the Giants. I
don't think the Dodgers are going to blow the division,
but I think Padres are Giants will at least get
closer than they are right now.

Speaker 2 (01:04:02):
But I think the Donalds ro fields for the Giants. Man,
that thing, that trace is becoming up.

Speaker 1 (01:04:06):
Yeah, that's looking like an albatross instantly. There's there's a
there's more storylines to get into there. The Astros have
a five game lead on over the Mariners. Yeah, I
think that one is.

Speaker 2 (01:04:20):
What it really hurts me. You guys got buzzers. I
don't know if they're up the kulo or on your chest,
but they're buzzing.

Speaker 1 (01:04:26):
This is the easiest one. Ale Central Tigers having eleven
and a half game league over, although I mean eleven
and a half, so it's twins eleven and a half back,
and then Royals and Guardians are both twelve back.

Speaker 2 (01:04:41):
Yeah, the Royals man pretty Yeah, Junior was the Golden
Boy and he is putting well.

Speaker 1 (01:04:49):
Cole Reagan's too. Cole Reagan's has an almost five. Are
barely over five though.

Speaker 2 (01:04:55):
And I would have loved to see a little rematch
with the Yankees and the Royals man because it got
it got down in dirty last year during the.

Speaker 1 (01:05:03):
Fun it was a fun series. Yeah, any any series
with Bobby Witt Junior is fun. But yeah, this year
has been a seemingly step back, kind of like we'll
talk about c J. Streud here in the main segment
coming up. Uh and then Blue Jays two game lead
over Yankees, three game lead over the.

Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
Hardest division in baseball, four teams with fifty wins or more. Yep,
it it's so it's got his contingent on the moves.

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
You're not the only division that has that though more
U National League Central has Cubs, Brewers, Cardinals, and Reds.
And that just happened because of that. On the last
there's no games today, Yeah, it happens.

Speaker 2 (01:05:49):
Yeah, the last game that just happened because they every
well like I checked it, but I didn't check it
after Sunday.

Speaker 1 (01:05:56):
And that division actually has more total wins between their
fourteens than the al least just looking at it, right,
was I talking?

Speaker 2 (01:06:03):
I think I was sorry.

Speaker 1 (01:06:04):
I don't remember.

Speaker 2 (01:06:05):
Yeah, it depends on if the Yankees.

Speaker 1 (01:06:08):
Say something inaccurate, so I thought I would jump in
and correct it. You gotta go check me on those constantly,
especially when it comes to your Yankees. Ever since you
tried to tell me Mike Schmidt was pitching out of
the bullpen, they all.

Speaker 2 (01:06:21):
Go Clay Schmid, Like, come on, man, I grew up
knowing Mike Smith, and Clay Smith's our fourth pitcher.

Speaker 1 (01:06:28):
You know he's not even out of the bullpen.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
Yah, no, he's not even he anyway, did you like that, Toronto?
I'm gonna go thumbs down? Yeah, I'm everything was thumbs up,
except for you know, because it's not even if the
Yankees get it. The Red Sox are That's what I
was about to say, The Red Sox are hot.

Speaker 1 (01:06:50):
And the Rays only five and a half back. I
would never write the Rays off from doing a.

Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
Crazy especially playing in a you know, triple.

Speaker 1 (01:06:58):
A minor league ballpark.

Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
Ballpark, dude, Although if you are one of the.

Speaker 1 (01:07:05):
If you are one of the seven raised fans out there,
it does look like they're going to get new ownership
approved within the next week or so that actually is
going to invest in a potential new stadium side so.

Speaker 2 (01:07:17):
Hopefully one that doesn't have balls hidden off the top
of the roof.

Speaker 1 (01:07:22):
Hopefully one that doesn't put a former player that now
has been charged with Let's go with Didland and the
Dominican I think is where it was. But uh, yeah,
did you did you have any opinion whatsoever on Yankees

(01:07:44):
draft MLB draft?

Speaker 2 (01:07:46):
I mean, we drafted a short stop, so it's bolpie.
He's on the clock, you know, he's Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:07:52):
I don't think you can say anybody's on the clock
in baseball based off draft picks. I mean, if he
popped short, he'll move to third, or he'll play somewhere
on the field.

Speaker 2 (01:08:02):
If he's good, you know, he'll he'll become a utility man. Yeah,
like that's what both people be. But he was supposed
to be, Like I mean, for Yankees, the shortstop is
a precious, precious position in the Yankees organization, the one
and only Derek Jeters position, the captain, and so many

(01:08:22):
other Yankees grades.

Speaker 1 (01:08:23):
Yeah, I was about to say, yeah, I mean Jeter's
top of the list.

Speaker 2 (01:08:26):
But yeah, but so to be batting under too almost
under two hundred. I think he's out at two to
oh four right now and he's made some errors, but
he still flashes the leather. But like, you got to
do more than that at that position. You gotta bat,
you got to hit.

Speaker 1 (01:08:43):
Yeah, Rangers, all there was a run on a lot
of prep shortstops being taken because you've seen it, you know,
over the last few years, a lot of these kids
would normally go in the middle of the first round.
Now teams are like, look, if we think he is
a stud, yeah, and he's if we think he's going
to be a stud in three years, why would we

(01:09:03):
not take him at seven? And now that they risk
that he's not.

Speaker 2 (01:09:08):
Gonna be Basically, now you don't have the ultra ship.
But like when the short stops playing like behind, like
they're getting they're having to do, they're getting hit, they're
having more to do during the game than any other position,
So why not invest on a quality one?

Speaker 1 (01:09:25):
Yeah, and also the level of it seems like the
level of scouting and exposure like it was well. First
of all, one high school in California had three kids
taken in the first round. That's insane for a high
school baseball team. And I know it was a you know,
prep academy where you know, the third the son of

(01:09:46):
the Dodgers third base coach was playing. Like it's that
kind of school, you know, but still in baseball.

Speaker 2 (01:09:52):
Getting getting all your baseball buddies, kids in the same.

Speaker 1 (01:09:56):
All play at the same place. But you know, a
jordy of the top ten selections were all guys that
had played together on the you know, Team USA prep
uh team. So it's guys that you know, all were uh,
you know, had a lot of eyes on them throughout
the spring and summer.

Speaker 2 (01:10:17):
And there he has some traction, yeah, little heat, little
heat by.

Speaker 1 (01:10:21):
Way way more so than uh, you know, some majority
of the past years.

Speaker 2 (01:10:26):
Like we got cruise battle going on.

Speaker 1 (01:10:30):
That's Cal Rawley, the big dumper who just committed to
the World Baseball Classic today too. Oh yeah, Rangers ended
up taking one of those Team USA infielders, Gavin Fine.
We'll see, I mean twelfth overall pick. We'll see what
happens there.

Speaker 2 (01:10:47):
But Rangers, Ryan Man.

Speaker 1 (01:10:51):
The interesting one, the a kid that I was hoping
the Rangers would take at twelve ends up going at eighteen.
And that is we talked about him before on the show.
Cason Cunningham, the local kid from here in San Antonio,
that the first San Antonio kid that won Gatorade Baseball

(01:11:11):
Texas Player of the Year obviously just was picked eighteenth
overall by the d Backs and potential absolute stud So
just like any other draft, these kids get brought in
by the organizations for meetings so the teams can get
a feel for him and try to, you know, figure
out if this is the guy they want to take

(01:11:33):
you or you bingo exactly. So Chuck Mcatinnec had this.
He put it out on X earlier and I saw it.
And it also includes our Paul Skeens, who keeps coming
up in conversation. So Cason was brought in by the
d Backs to do his pre draft interview. Well, they

(01:11:55):
also put him on a hitting simulator, oh man, and
asked him what picture he wants to face on the simulator,
And this was the story. Tell me how legendary this
like this is this is a pretty good way to
seal your draft stock with a team.

Speaker 6 (01:12:13):
Oh yeah, I was hearing the story and one of
my guys in San Antonio, I want to see that
it was true about you being asked to hit in
a simulator and being asked if there was a particular
picture you'd like to face.

Speaker 5 (01:12:25):
Did that happen? Did you do something like that?

Speaker 3 (01:12:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:12:28):
I did, I was. I was.

Speaker 7 (01:12:30):
I went to a workout with the Diamondbacks in June
and they had a simulator and I asked to hit
off Paul Skins and yeah, I had some good at
bats off.

Speaker 2 (01:12:40):
Of Paul Skins.

Speaker 5 (01:12:41):
I heard you took them deep.

Speaker 1 (01:12:43):
Yeah, I actually did off.

Speaker 2 (01:12:44):
I did take them deep.

Speaker 5 (01:12:48):
What was the reaction from the DBAC when you did
something like that?

Speaker 7 (01:12:50):
Their mouths were like, oh my gosh, I had like
a one hundred and fourteen eggs of you.

Speaker 1 (01:12:54):
I think, so they were pretty.

Speaker 7 (01:12:58):
They don't really know what to say, honestly, Do you.

Speaker 5 (01:13:01):
Think that's the reason they drafted you.

Speaker 2 (01:13:03):
Could have been?

Speaker 7 (01:13:04):
I mean, uh, I could have been also just had
a really good senior year. But they kind of already
knew what I had, and I think that kind of
opened their mouths a little bit even more.

Speaker 1 (01:13:15):
That's pretty sick.

Speaker 2 (01:13:17):
First of all, GI me another lap drop on that
one a little more.

Speaker 1 (01:13:20):
You go, you go there, they put you on a simulator,
You request Paul Skian, someone that the team is hoping
you're going to be facing in a couple of years,
and then you take him deep at what he say,
one hundred and fourteen off the bat. Yeah, one hundred
and fourteen mile an hour off the bat for a
high school kid.

Speaker 2 (01:13:37):
So that means you saw it like either you sitting.

Speaker 1 (01:13:40):
That's pretty sick. He said he was sitting fastball. Yeah,
he said he was sitting fastball and just.

Speaker 2 (01:13:45):
He throws over he throws a hundo, oh easily.

Speaker 1 (01:13:47):
Yeah, it was probably a one oh one fastball on
the simulator that he just cranked right on the screws.
That's a pretty that's a pretty good draft story.

Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
I was using a torpedo bat.

Speaker 1 (01:13:58):
Problem. If you were few were the d Backs, it
would have been really hard to uh to not take
him after that.

Speaker 3 (01:14:06):
LG.

Speaker 1 (01:14:06):
Let's save the we have We talked last week about that.
We showed the video of the hockey player absolutely beating
the hell out of the guy. Well, the guy that
got has asked, Beat has responded, and we'll save that
for the lightning round because we've got to get to
our main segment tonight, following up the second half of

(01:14:28):
the AFC. Now we've got the AFC South next on
our docket, and I'm gonna be flat out honest with you,
this is this is the least little, this is the
least exciting one of all the ones that I've started
laying out so far.

Speaker 2 (01:14:47):
Yeah, Houston, Indianapolis.

Speaker 1 (01:14:51):
Houston is the clear favorite to win the division, but
they're over under is only nine and a half according
to Vegas. So so we've talked about, you know, over
the last few shows. You know, you had the Bills
that were division favorites eleven and a half expected wins.
You had the Ravens that were division favorites eleven and

(01:15:12):
a half expected to win.

Speaker 2 (01:15:14):
They got the Houston at nine and a half, nine
and a half, and I think that is actually that's generous.

Speaker 1 (01:15:20):
I think I think they're a ten win team. I
think it's gonna be a game right over the number.

Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
I thought it'd be moored. I'm not gonna give him
a eleven or anything, but like I guess, nine and
a half is about you.

Speaker 1 (01:15:31):
Let me convince let me let me try to convince
you why that number might be right. So Texans nine
and a half. Rest of the Vision Vegas has Colts
seven and a half, Jags seven and a half, Titans
five and a half. Now, last year c J. Stroud
sophomore slant. Yeah, it's hard as much as I hate

(01:15:56):
cliches like that, when the data says, with the data says,
it gets a catchy nickname like sophomore slump. And that's
exactly what c J. Stroud had last year.

Speaker 2 (01:16:07):
So now I see why they got nine and a half.

Speaker 1 (01:16:10):
Holcom or what do you see?

Speaker 2 (01:16:12):
They got to go through the NFC West at.

Speaker 1 (01:16:14):
Bingo, So we'll get exactly because I knew you'd like that.
As soon as we got to that, I was hoping
you wouldn't see it yet.

Speaker 2 (01:16:20):
But so c J.

Speaker 1 (01:16:21):
Stroud played two more games last year than he did
his rookie year. His numbers from last year compared to
the rookie year where we all fell in love with
him in the Houston Texans. Last year, his rookie year,
he threw for forty one hundred and eight yards. Last
year threw for thirty seven hundred and twenty seven, so
almost four hundred less yards total in two additional games.

(01:16:47):
His touchdown numbers.

Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
But didn't Nico go out for like six?

Speaker 1 (01:16:51):
Sure and Tank Dell absolutely, but that was destroyed his leg.

Speaker 2 (01:16:54):
That was at the very end of the sceneson Yeah,
which is.

Speaker 1 (01:16:56):
Why he's going to be out all year now. His
touchdown number went from twenty three down to twenty and
then this is the one that really hurts. The interceptions
went from five as a rookie, which was insane for
a rookie quarterback in the NFL. You just don't normally
see that with the amount of snaps he was playing.
Last year, he threw twelve interceptions, So I think that

(01:17:18):
number for the Texan starts and stops with CJ.

Speaker 2 (01:17:21):
Stroud. Are you getting some tape on you? You know?

Speaker 1 (01:17:24):
So that's a significant jump five to twelve. I mean
that's two and a half times more interceptions his second
year in the league than his rookie year.

Speaker 2 (01:17:33):
Yeah, I mean with them, just like I see a
split with Jaguars in their division, I see two wins
with Indy, two wins with who's the other layup team
in Tennessee. Yeah, so there's five wins right there, And honestly,
I mean they're going through the West. I don't see

(01:17:54):
them beating the forty nine ers. I don't see them
beating Yeah, well the forty nine ers just go toss
up game, you know, because the defense is unproven. But
I got I got some thoughts on that later later
when we get to that. But they have them playing
the Bills, the Rams, you know, veteran quarterback, the Lions.

(01:18:17):
You know, they're they're they're showcasing Straut, the Vike. Wait,
I'm in the preseason right now. The Broncos. The defense
on that is just gonna that that's gonna be the
best defense in the league right there. The Broncos Denver, Denver,
like they they added pieces in their damn near the
best defense last year.

Speaker 1 (01:18:37):
Well, then tell me does that bode well for a
Texans team that allowed fifty two sacks last year, the
second most in the entire league. Sure does, which, also
to their credit, also to their credit, led them to
get a new offensive line coach. And see, you got
offensive coordinated.

Speaker 2 (01:18:54):
If you got if you kept your job after fifty
two sacks.

Speaker 1 (01:18:58):
If I told you, if I told you last year,
the Colts averaged more points per game than the Texans.
Would you have believed me, because when I read that
earlier today, that was pretty shocking to me. Shocked, That's
pretty shocking.

Speaker 2 (01:19:13):
I mean because they just they were in QB purgatory.
Man Addison wasn't you know?

Speaker 1 (01:19:18):
It was not Flacco. Anthony Richardson, Yeah, completely, you know,
constantly banged up. Flacco coming in and.

Speaker 2 (01:19:27):
His arm is garbage, hot garbage. I mean, Richardson can run.

Speaker 1 (01:19:31):
But the thing that saved the Texans last year was
obviously the you know the fact that the rest of
their division combined for fifteen wins between the three of them.
The division was terrible, and they didn't even It wasn't
like they had a mammoth impressive defensive number either. They
were middle of the pack and but.

Speaker 2 (01:19:54):
Just middle Ryans like, you know, he I believe he
can turn the defense around. He's got They gotta start
buying into him. I think they got worn out, you know,
because if you're taking that many sacks, that defense is
on the field more time than the offense. Yep, you
know what I'm saying. So I can see a lot

(01:20:14):
of those games just the defense is just like they
can't catch their breath because it's three and out, three
and out, three and out, you know what I'm saying.
And now that they're like, I think they're going I
think they address that problem by picking up Nick Chubb
with the Joe Mixon that was a pro bowler, and
they're gonna turn this into a running game, bleed clock,

(01:20:36):
you know, play action. And they picked up Christian Kirk,
which I think he's underrated. Man.

Speaker 1 (01:20:43):
Well, I think he's also a natural replacement for Tank Dell,
a very similar player that you won't have to ask
him to do a lot of additional things yeah that
he's not comfortable doing. He's gonna slot right into that.

Speaker 2 (01:20:56):
Yeah. And then if Tank Dell's not there, they got
Mitschi the third you know he uh he was like
I think did he play for them last year? Like
I think that name rang out on some of my
fantasy boards.

Speaker 1 (01:21:10):
Yeah, and they also drafted them. They also drafted both
of the Iowa state wide receivers I believe as well.
So they they're going to have options on offense. I
think there's you know, the you can't run the ball
if you if your offensive line is asked, it doesn't
matter who you have personnel wise, they let the two thumpers.

Speaker 2 (01:21:33):
When you got two thumpers back there, Mixing and Chubb.

Speaker 1 (01:21:36):
Yeah, but still Mixing is not the kind of running
back that can just create his own He'll.

Speaker 2 (01:21:42):
Get you three yards, he'll get you three four yards, right.

Speaker 1 (01:21:45):
But without an offensive line that can move the line back,
he's not.

Speaker 2 (01:21:50):
But it wasn't. It wasn't the run game that was
the problem because Mixing was a pro bowler like he
he was Fantasy Gold last year.

Speaker 1 (01:21:58):
Like you think Laramie Tuns will help with some of
that because he's now in Washington.

Speaker 2 (01:22:03):
Yeah, I mean they who's their full background.

Speaker 1 (01:22:06):
Because they didn't want to give him the big contract,
they drafted j Jacob Johnson, drafted an offensive tackle second
round and brought in you know for vet old lineman.
It's a whole new offensive line, is all I'm saying. Yeah,
I think it'll be interesting because I think to what
you're saying, you can swing too far the other way

(01:22:27):
where you say our run games not the problem, but
our quarterback got sacked fifty two times, so now we've
got to focus more on pass protection. Well, is that
going to hurt the run game or is there you know,
they've got to find that balance between the two.

Speaker 2 (01:22:43):
You you you improve your pass protection if the linebackers
aren't playing downhill, you know what I'm saying. So if
they're sitting there, like if they're playing like just filling
the gaps and whatnot, and they're not on a straight blitz,
you know what I'm saying, those guys, move up your
passing options to like the cross routes get a little

(01:23:05):
easier to throw at, you know what I'm saying. That improves,
so that gives the quarterback an easier chance to get
the ball out of his hand within two seconds, you
know what I'm saying. So like whenever those guys were
like because they were just sitting there, you know, leaning
back and stuff, and then you got the edge rush
is just going straight pass rush, you know what I'm saying,

(01:23:28):
And they couldn't Obviously, they couldn't block anything.

Speaker 1 (01:23:30):
So you keep mentioning, We'll see what Nick Chubb actually has.
I mean, there's a reason with a league where running
backs still are important, they're just undervalued. The fact that
Nick Chubb couldn't get a decent veteran contract offer from
any team until this late in the offseason. Usually that

(01:23:51):
kind of tells me very rarely does a team does
a guy sit like who is the guy for the
for the Cowboys last year that everyone wants Cowboy signed
him after the Jets cut him. Everyone wanted him called
up from the practice squad and it was like one
of those deals where I think he's like if if
every other team in the league is passing on him.

Speaker 2 (01:24:12):
Yeah, uh, it might have passed Meldon. It was it
was someone like like a Melvin Gordon guy like, but
it might have been wasn't Melvin Gordon like? But like
when you're sitting there like not doing anything versus you
go there and you're in the training camp and you're
sitting there part of the family, and then you got mixing,

(01:24:35):
and you don't think mixing and Chubb aren't going to
feed off each other. Mixing was good, but he was
trending down in Sincy. That's Dalvin Cook. Yeah, so they're
going to feed off each other and then mixing like
he was on the downward spiral in Sincy and then
when he came over to hell Boom revitalized. We got

(01:24:59):
a quarterback. Now.

Speaker 1 (01:25:00):
I think maybe the mixing though maybe lesser on a
downward spiral and more the fact that the Bengals turned
Joey Burrow loose. Yeah, and weren't he just wasn't getting
it because now we saw him, We saw what he
could do when he was the feature back again. Uh,
last year in Houston. I think that nine and a

(01:25:20):
half number is actually like the.

Speaker 2 (01:25:22):
Texans to me, I can see win ten games.

Speaker 1 (01:25:24):
They're a nine or ten win team if they if
they won twelve, that would be shocking to me. But
also if they only win seven, that would be shocking
just because of how bad the rest of this division is.
I mean, they get to play the Titans twice, Yeah,
they get to play the Jags and Colts twice.

Speaker 2 (01:25:43):
Yeah. And then then like I mean, I one name
jumps jumps out, jumps, jumps out at me. The middle
linebacker they used to be the Niners, Al Shazir. I mean,
he's just always.

Speaker 1 (01:25:54):
Hurt man or getting suspended.

Speaker 2 (01:25:56):
CJ. Garner Johnson. They tightened up their second darry that
was from the Super Bowl champion Eagles. That's where he
came in. Like he's coming over from the Eagles to
tighten up their safety spot. So I mean with Demico Ryans,
I think their defense is gonna have a bounce back.
They're gonna become a run first team and that's gonna help,

(01:26:21):
you know, getting the ball out faster for CJ. Stroud,
Tank Dell coming back to open up the you know,
open the top of oh.

Speaker 1 (01:26:30):
I think Dell's probably out the whole year with that.
That was a Teddy Bridgewater esque leg injury.

Speaker 2 (01:26:37):
I think some like those clean breaks. Heal faster, those
clean breaks, heal faster.

Speaker 1 (01:26:44):
Than a I think they're hoping they get one year
of Christian Kirk doing his best Tank Dell impersonation.

Speaker 2 (01:26:52):
Looks like it looks like the big dumper took it out.
Uh beat Cruise, the hard hitter from Pittsburgh.

Speaker 1 (01:27:03):
I'm telling you, this feels like cal Rawley's to lose.

Speaker 2 (01:27:10):
Semi final nineteen. Wow. Man, anyway back back to football.

Speaker 1 (01:27:17):
So let's you're being distracted by the home run derby.

Speaker 2 (01:27:21):
It was just see who was at the finals, man.
But the next team and this is just when we
just let's go Jaguars. They're you know, they're more than
I think they're the most exciting with the higher ceiling
than any of them.

Speaker 1 (01:27:38):
You know, I would probably agree with that because they
still have.

Speaker 2 (01:27:42):
Is Trevor Lawrence is gonna be that first round overall
once in a you know, decade quarterback Andrew luck that
he was so harald as.

Speaker 1 (01:27:54):
They're certainly not a four win team like they were
last year.

Speaker 2 (01:27:58):
No, I think was so I was shocked with that,
like the fact that they only won four games.

Speaker 1 (01:28:04):
Well, they gave up on Doug Peterson about halfway through
the season before they even fired him. I mean, it
looked like the team had quit well before the head
coach was fired. And that's how you know, that's how
you end up that far behind the win loss.

Speaker 2 (01:28:20):
And they are they are they the next highest.

Speaker 1 (01:28:24):
So them and Indianapolis are both seven and a half,
they're both tied, and I think you could.

Speaker 2 (01:28:31):
They almost got them as a five hundred teams.

Speaker 1 (01:28:34):
I see. And that's where that's so confusing to me too,
because there's no five hundred anymore. You're either eight nine
or nine and eight. So you know, Vegas is saying
by them putting the Colts and Jags both at seven
and a half as the second and third teams in
this division, that basically is that basically is Vegas telling

(01:28:55):
you one of them is gonna win seven one of
them is gonna win eight, and it's gonna be whichever
one wins their head to head matchups. They're both equally.
I think if you were and now, I think if
you were a looking at actually betting on which one
of those teams would do better, I think you lean

(01:29:16):
Colts just because the Jags feel like while things might
be going in the right direction now with the you know,
they hire the Tampa Bay Bucks offensive coordinator Liam Cohen,
who you know led Baker Mayfield to throwing for forty
five hundred passing yards and forty one touchdowns last year

(01:29:36):
after everyone was ready to declare Baker in absolute bust.
Cohen gets that out of him. Uh. I mentioned, you know,
Trevor Lawrence. They have two hundred and seventy five million
invested in him. Maybe Cohen is the voice like it
thought it was gonna be Doug Peterson. Maybe it's this
new guy. But you know, the Travis Hunter is exciting.

(01:29:59):
I think the Jaguars are more flash and the Colts
have more substance. Yeah, because I think the Jags are.
You think about them more because of Trevor Lawrence and
now because of Travis Hunter. But I think by the
end of the season, I think the Jags are the
one that wins seven.

Speaker 2 (01:30:17):
The Colts running back actually shows up like he did
on his rookie rookie year.

Speaker 1 (01:30:22):
Yeah, the Jonathan Taylor is a massive He.

Speaker 2 (01:30:26):
Never was never injured ever in his career. Is one
of the main reasons why I picked him two years
ago first overall and lo and behold he gets injured
after like the best running He was the best running
back of that season. I think he got almost two
thousand yards.

Speaker 1 (01:30:44):
Yeah, he is. I mean he's the only bright spot
if switching to Indianapolis, I mean Anthony Richardson recovering from
shoulder injury. And for Colts fans, if you're former top
five quarter isn't ready to go, you get another team's castaway,
former top five quarterback pick. Because Daniel Jones is now

(01:31:07):
with the Colts as well, So I need they need
Jonathan Taylor, is what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:31:13):
All Right, it's well, well, switching back to the Jacks,
let's uh, they got it, like just like them, they
got to run through the you know, NFC West, you know,
and this is like I think they're the only team
that can sit there and have a chance with Houston,
maybe maybe Indy, But I have more faith in the Jaguars.

(01:31:38):
Steve Trevor Lawrence is gonna be that guy. Brian Thomas Junior.
These LSU kids, Bro, he came from l s U.

Speaker 1 (01:31:45):
Right, it sounds right.

Speaker 2 (01:31:48):
I believe so like these LSU kids are insane receivers. Man.
He had he had a Pro Bowl. Yeah, he had
a Pro Bowl year. And I expect tend to do
even bigger things because they got rid of Kirk and
they just said, you are our number one, You're our
franchise wide receiver.

Speaker 3 (01:32:09):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:32:09):
They got Travis Hunter coming in, you know which I'm wondering,
are they going to play a more receiver more?

Speaker 1 (01:32:15):
So, I had it on my notes. I was like,
Travis Hunter more wide receiver than quarterback question mark because
the reports coming out of their all of their summer
voluntary camps is that he was getting eighty percent snaps
at wide receiver, twenty percent at corner. It was like
four out of every five snaps he was a wide receiver,
one out of every five he was playing corner.

Speaker 2 (01:32:37):
So maybe they do it like on a game by
game basis, where like if they need a lockdown corner
on a.

Speaker 1 (01:32:43):
It's going to be really interesting. I mean we have to.
I mean, like Dion was the other way around, it was.

Speaker 2 (01:32:50):
Full time corner, trying to push him into.

Speaker 1 (01:32:52):
The packages for at wide receiver. I think Travis Hunter
is going to be the flip of that. Yeah, and
I actually think going to end up seeing him play
potentially more snaps than any NFL player in history.

Speaker 2 (01:33:06):
And just man, that might work in college, especially in
the Big twelve. You know where we missed tackles like
we uh, like they're going on sale, you know, we.

Speaker 1 (01:33:17):
Miss tackles like we missed final exams and love it exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:33:21):
I mean etn, I love him because he can catch
the ball, you know, but like he hasn't been what
you know, everybody wanted him to be. They don't really
have a third wide receiver. I mean the guys it
was this Diane Damy Brown.

Speaker 1 (01:33:36):
Jacksonville has potentially more flashier talent. Yeah, at quarter specifically
you know Lawrence Travis Hunter, the LSU.

Speaker 2 (01:33:45):
Could Brian Thomas Junior.

Speaker 1 (01:33:48):
But I think Indy has the more solid.

Speaker 2 (01:33:51):
Like they have Jacksonville. They have the tree.

Speaker 1 (01:33:53):
Xactly, and Jacksonville wins. Maybe if you're ranking both rosters.
Jacksonville might have the first five guys you would rank,
but I think Indy has the next thirty. Yeah, something
like that. You know, like they just have more depth
and specifically the trenches. Also, Colts beefed up. They spent
big on their secondary. They signed Tavarius Award and cam

(01:34:15):
Bine them as well.

Speaker 2 (01:34:16):
So I mean they're I see like, I mean, Eric
Armstead's like he was the Niners D line when it
was the best D line in the game. But he's
just getting older.

Speaker 1 (01:34:27):
He just old.

Speaker 2 (01:34:28):
And then I don't see any kind of moves not
I mean, I think they're looking to put up points.
They're gonna like, if we're gonna win, we're gonna have
to score twenty twenty five points at least.

Speaker 1 (01:34:39):
Well, and that was a that was a struggle for
both these teams last year because here I have their
offensive numbers. I have them in front of me. The
Colts again, Colts led this division in scoring last year.
They averaged twenty two point two points a game. That
was seventeenth in the league. So the leading offense in

(01:35:00):
division was in the bottom half of all of the NFL.
It was a terrible offensive division, but the Jaguars only
averaged eighteen point eight. That was twenty sixth, and the
team that was twenty seventh was the Titans, who averaged
eighteen point three. Terrible offenses. Yeah, oh man, I again,

(01:35:22):
if you once against the coin flip man, I think
that's exactly I think that's exactly what it is. The
only team that I comfortably would say has no shot
at winning the division, that's the poor zombie Oilers.

Speaker 2 (01:35:38):
Yeah, poor zombie zombie oiler.

Speaker 1 (01:35:42):
I love how much it pisses off Oilers fans when
the Titans wear the baby blue throwbacks. That's just so disrespectful.
I mean that would be the equivalent of the Oklahoma
City Thunder wearing Seattle SuperSonics throwback.

Speaker 2 (01:35:56):
Yeah like that, that is just.

Speaker 1 (01:35:58):
Such a middle finger an entire city of like, yeah,
guess what, we stole your franchise and now we're gonna
fla on it in front of you.

Speaker 2 (01:36:06):
Deal with and we're in your division.

Speaker 1 (01:36:08):
Yeah, we're in your division. I guess again. The takeaway
is when the Texans beat the Titans twice.

Speaker 2 (01:36:15):
But here's what I give. I always fantasy football wise,
I always take a chance on a rookie. Oh, rookie
QB and they got the number one pick overall. Camera Ward.

Speaker 1 (01:36:30):
Yeah, former Incarnate Word superstar, former Washington State superstar for
Hurricane Hurricane superar the you.

Speaker 2 (01:36:38):
So like, I'm I'm excited to see what he can
pull out. Of course, Tony Pollard, Calvin Ridley, can he
become a shade of what he used to be?

Speaker 1 (01:36:48):
I'm comfortable saying that the type. The only position the
Titans upgraded at this offseason was quarterback.

Speaker 2 (01:36:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:36:54):
The rest of them are just as bad or worse
than they were last year looking at their full ross
earlier today.

Speaker 2 (01:37:01):
I didn't see the draft. I don't know how good
they did in the trenches, but they've always I mean
when they had Rabel on there, like, they were always
tight on the trenches.

Speaker 1 (01:37:11):
Well, and you know what, also every when they had
King Henry, they also just had a defensive scheme that
the head coach knew would work in the NFL. Last year,
first year without Rabel, dead last in points given up.
They gave up over twenty seven points a game. Over
twenty seven points a game in the NFL is insane.

Speaker 2 (01:37:32):
Insane.

Speaker 1 (01:37:32):
You're giving up four touchdowns every single game. We had
that stat last week when we were talking about the Bengals.
How last year the Bengals lost six games where they
gave up twenty five or more points. The Titans gave
up twenty seven every single game on average, not every
single game. They had some you know, blowouts that made

(01:37:54):
that number look worse.

Speaker 2 (01:37:55):
But yeah, speaking of the Bengals, what was it. I
started watching that quarterback show.

Speaker 1 (01:38:00):
I have that in the Lightning Round, I wondered. We'll
say I jumped in on.

Speaker 2 (01:38:04):
I literally I literally killed about seven episodes last night.
You know, I could not sleep, Okay, yeah, I went
almost almost some time. Yeah, I mean it's it's pretty
good man.

Speaker 1 (01:38:18):
You pull any audio.

Speaker 2 (01:38:20):
Uh, this is this is last night. I didn't want
to hit LG at eight o'clock o'clock in the morning
talk on that a man, I'm not listening to ship.
But nah, yeah, I definitely have some stuff on the
quarterbacks and whatnot. So, I mean there's good, bad things

(01:38:42):
like anything. But being produced by one Patrick Mahomes. You
can kind of see where you can give me a little.

Speaker 1 (01:38:50):
Oh, I thought it was I thought it was Omaha Productions.

Speaker 2 (01:38:54):
I thought it was He's one of Patrick, one of
the executed for the first line whenever the credits hit
Patrick Mahomes, and then you go ahead and put Joey
Burrow with one of his four seasons on there.

Speaker 1 (01:39:08):
Literally, yeah, that's a little rough.

Speaker 2 (01:39:10):
That's middle finger right to you. Joey Titans five and
a half, five and a half.

Speaker 1 (01:39:17):
There is no.

Speaker 2 (01:39:18):
Way they win six games, and the Cameron Ward man
the wild card. I'm telling you, man, these rookie no tape.
The c J strouds Jaden Daniels.

Speaker 1 (01:39:29):
About to say though Jaydon Daniels had way more talent
to work with in Washington last year than cam Ward
hasn't like it Ridley way more.

Speaker 2 (01:39:38):
I think he was just unmotivated last year. So Ridley
and then he's still like reeling over the fact that
he had a year's suspension for something stupid, you know, like, oh,
I betted something at the facility, Like if I bet
at the facility that I wouldn't have got uh he suspended.

Speaker 1 (01:39:58):
He was also doing parlays involved other NFL teams though,
but it wouldn't have mattered if he had done it
at the facility or not. Really, the Lions guy was
the one that did it just at the facility. Ridley
had some NFL parlays going on, you can't do that,
like that's that's they was it for him or it
for I don't think I think that was his defense

(01:40:20):
was I wasn't. It wasn't with the Falcons or whoever
it was.

Speaker 2 (01:40:24):
Can you call your buddy and be like, hey, why
don't you go ahead and drop that sixth pass?

Speaker 1 (01:40:28):
And that also, they're pretty it's amazing how good they
are actually tracking irregularities because that's how they make their money.

Speaker 2 (01:40:36):
They did pick up Tyler Lockett from the Seahawks, and
I tell you, man, one thing, it was just every
year you could always trust Tyler Lockett to get his numbers.

Speaker 1 (01:40:47):
He's a great receiver to pair with a rookie quarterback.
It's not the deal I read it. Or it's like
it's a one year flyer. I mean it's like three
or four million dollars. It's nothing. Investment for the long.

Speaker 2 (01:40:59):
Term is a thing. It's security blank.

Speaker 1 (01:41:01):
It's clear yeah, thousand percent, it's clearly cam Wore. They
want cam Wore to have one veteran experienced receiver that
he can maybe use as that, like you said, security blank,
because he's going he's going to be running for his
life for a majority of these games. He's going to
need that security blanket. He's going to need a tight

(01:41:22):
end across the middle.

Speaker 2 (01:41:23):
A lot more to work with than Jaden Daniels. I mean,
you have scary Terry, but you know.

Speaker 1 (01:41:30):
Oh, they had the wider or they had the running
back that uh ended up. I mean he's flamed out
now and he had like, yeah Gibson, Antonio Gibson had
like eleven twelve hundred. That's again, it's we're talking about
the Titans, like what are you comparing them to? And
on top of that, the team that had the worst

(01:41:51):
points allowed numbered last year. Uh, they also let their
sacks leader Harold Landry walk out the door as well.

Speaker 2 (01:41:58):
So yeah, I think I think they're in tank mode.
So I'm gonna go under.

Speaker 1 (01:42:03):
Yeah, I think that.

Speaker 2 (01:42:05):
I think they're gonna be looking for that edge rusher
or like they're gonna they're gonna build the trenches next year.

Speaker 1 (01:42:11):
I'm not sure what was it the So the Browns
and Saints have the lowest number at four and a half. Yeah,
I don't understand why the Titans have more respect from
Vegas than the Browns and Saints. The Titans should be
four and a half right there with them. There's not
outside of it. I think it's the number one.

Speaker 2 (01:42:33):
He's gonna he's gonna pull a game they're giving him.
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:42:38):
Yeah, give me Texans over the nine and a half,
Colts over the seven and a half, Jags under it,
Titans under it, Jags under seven and a half, Titans
under five and a half.

Speaker 2 (01:42:50):
I'm gonna go Texans, I'll go, I'll go over. I'm
gonna go under both Indie and Colts and Jaggs. You know,
I'm gonna go under that, and then I'm gonna go
under on.

Speaker 1 (01:43:07):
It's a bad, bad division. This was I mean again,
I said it at the beginning. It's not a very
good way to sell, uh to continue listening as we
talk about how bad these teams are.

Speaker 2 (01:43:19):
This one sucks. Didn't I say let's do a good
division on Monday?

Speaker 1 (01:43:23):
Well? I decided. I decided, since there's a significant number
of Texans fans in our listenership, we would hit them
with with all Texans. Yes, yes, because Wednesday we close
out the a f C with the AFC West. That
one is actually like that one man, that's a fun,

(01:43:44):
fun division. I started looking at it today. Man, Yeah,
that'll be a fun one come Wednesday. But before we
get out of here tonight, let's do a little lightning
round LG. Did y'all see the news weinby a fly
cleared full participant. He did an interview with liquep Liquip

(01:44:06):
liquep Liquip.

Speaker 2 (01:44:07):
Oh, the French paper. I was like, what are you
talking about?

Speaker 1 (01:44:13):
The French paper over there. Not only did he say
he's a full participant, also said he's been running the
open gym pick up with all because all the guys
are out there in Vegas. I saw Spurs put the
picture out of every single dude that. Yeah, Wenby is
apparently happy that they didn't trade any of them because

(01:44:33):
also in the interview he specifically mentioned, I'm glad we
didn't trade for a veteran. I want us to all grow,
continue to grow.

Speaker 2 (01:44:42):
He wants to create that. He wants to be the
leader that Tim Duncan was and I love that for him.

Speaker 1 (01:44:48):
And he also said he never wants to leave San Antonio.
He wants to be different, he wants to be a
one fan.

Speaker 2 (01:44:52):
He found some inner piece out there and shall in.

Speaker 1 (01:44:56):
Also, they also started liking some democrat socialist communist stuff
social that everyone else was freaking out about too.

Speaker 2 (01:45:07):
They converted them.

Speaker 1 (01:45:10):
I think we might have a new win. Oh yeah,
but your forty five win prediction looks a lot stronger
with Womby getting cleared in early July for full participation.

Speaker 2 (01:45:21):
Absolutely man.

Speaker 1 (01:45:22):
Also, Vegas bumped the number up. It's up to forty
two and a half now. Oh as we sit here, whoa,
it was like, just like on my they have They're
now the eighth best win odds in the West. So Vegas,
we're in the playoffs. We're in the plane potential potentially, yes, all.

Speaker 2 (01:45:41):
Right, hit me, all right, man, if we can queue
up this video. I have to say, this kid has
only been playing for three weeks, and I'm I haven't
seen defensive plays like this for a minute. And of course,
LG you can get me right now, because you know

(01:46:05):
I didn't have I gave him a Facebook clip where
he can't go with pause and everything, so this is
gonna be a silent one through. Go ahead and cue
it up for me. Well you didn't.

Speaker 4 (01:46:16):
I asked you if you wanted me to queue it
up before the show. You didn't know?

Speaker 3 (01:46:21):
Yes, No, I said it had copyrighted music on it.
We're gonna have to play it mute. I was like,
is that okay?

Speaker 1 (01:46:28):
And you never answered. I give us, give us the
play by play of what we are missing out on.
I would love I would love to hear this.

Speaker 2 (01:46:35):
All right, this, we'll do this on the Lightning Round
on Wednesday show, as Puma would like to say, Hey,
LG Yes, I would like you to queue it up
as it gets pushed and I will find one that
is from Twitter. But yeah, let's go.

Speaker 3 (01:46:49):
Let's no music, no copyrighted music.

Speaker 2 (01:46:52):
Please all right. I listened. I did not even listen
to it. I just watched it.

Speaker 4 (01:46:56):
I didn't know there was music, And please please listen
to what you said me before you send it to me.

Speaker 1 (01:47:05):
I love I love the fact that y'all grew up together,
so you come through that wall like so to speak.
Oh yeah, I'll steal want from me.

Speaker 2 (01:47:14):
Well, no, what about did you see the second the
second best player of the week on Sports Center? It
was a little discolf disc golf. I have a friend
who is He is a professional over fifty disc golf player.
He gets paid to show certain disc but it was

(01:47:35):
a hole in one with a skipper. I don't know
if that's the correct term of it, but it skipped
off the ground and hit a hole in one and
it was like number one on Sports Center earlier this
week and it was number two for the week. LG.

Speaker 1 (01:47:47):
Did you ever play the disc golf course over at
Texas State? No, they actually have a pretty decent course
there on campus in Texas.

Speaker 4 (01:47:56):
I played the pro one in Live Oak and the
one that's right, yeah, got the streat down here.

Speaker 2 (01:48:01):
Yeah, And they got like thirty six holes out there. Man, Like,
I walked about eighteen of them and I'm like, I
ain't going on another eighteen. I was like, that's it.

Speaker 1 (01:48:08):
There was a time in my life where I thought
there might be a chance, like I was playing so
much disc off, but I thought like, look, it came
so down on it.

Speaker 2 (01:48:18):
But because because.

Speaker 1 (01:48:21):
When I finally started thinking more about it, it.

Speaker 2 (01:48:23):
Was like, it's not a sport.

Speaker 1 (01:48:25):
No, you go out there, you roll a spliff, you
burn it down with your buddies, and you throw a disc.
They're not a sport. Like it's it's like the people.
It's like the people now that are talking about like
playing pickleball competitively, Like no, play a real sport, that
competitive pickleball exercising.

Speaker 2 (01:48:43):
It is not a sport. It's it's like it's like
ping pong fast.

Speaker 1 (01:48:47):
No, it's it's again like play tennis where Janick Center
beat Alcarez at Wimbledon this week playing Actually, if you
want to play.

Speaker 2 (01:48:56):
A round tennis, if you keep dogging it.

Speaker 1 (01:48:59):
It never should never should years ago, No, yeah, maybe
probably so. Yeah, I hit me LG a couple of
contract extensions. We talked about the Jets last week when
we did our AFC East. Well, they have now actually
committed to Garrett Wilson, who seemingly was somewhat available at

(01:49:26):
least until they made the commitment. They signed him to
a four year, one hundred and thirty million dollar extension
ninety MILLLI guaranteed. Now they turned their attention to Sauce
Gardner on the other side of the ball. Seems like
they've got their too building blocks on both sides. And
then in the basketball world, we talked about this last
week when Chet got his extension. Oklahoma City locks up

(01:49:50):
Jalen five the other it could get up to two
seven million. And you mentioned the Big Three. The way
the new CBA works having three max contract guys is
really really, really hard to maintain for extended amounts of years. Yeah,
so start I said they got three years in twenty twenty,

(01:50:14):
it's two years actually, because in twenty twenty seven, when
SGA's big extension fully starts to kick in, the three
of those guys, SGA, Chet Jadob will be eighty five
percent of the Thunder salary cap between three guys cut. Well,
it'll be Caruso and Hartenstein first, then it'll be lou Dort,

(01:50:37):
and then eventually it'll be the decision of who do
we keep Chet or Jadub? But that decision is five
years down.

Speaker 2 (01:50:43):
You cut that wonderbread.

Speaker 1 (01:50:45):
Yeah, Jadob's off. Jadob's not seven feet tall though, and
you can potentially find another guard like that before you
can find a big man. Hit me, LG. You mentioned
the Quarterback series. I'm gonna turn it over to you.
Convince me that it is not just NFL propaganda and

(01:51:06):
actually is something that I will learn. I will learn
something from watching the series.

Speaker 2 (01:51:11):
You will learn that Netflix tried to a Patrick Mahomes
produced it. So I think you know he's got a
little spider in him. Be Jerry still controls everything because
they did not show a Cowboys loss because they were
showing a lot of games. They just they just let
that one go. Oh yeah, we just beat the Cowboys

(01:51:32):
by like a month's mud stopping their ass.

Speaker 1 (01:51:38):
Documentary coming out next month.

Speaker 2 (01:51:40):
Yeah, you better not show that loss on there on
that Cowboys b they mixing. The only thing that kills
me in it is the wives. I cannot stand the wives,
even though I will say Jared Goff's wife.

Speaker 1 (01:51:58):
Well, you know what, the.

Speaker 2 (01:51:58):
Open supermodel himself.

Speaker 1 (01:52:01):
The opposite of that is.

Speaker 2 (01:52:03):
A swimsuit model. Reading Malmes is not a swimsuit model.
That is a swimsuit model. Everyone go and google Jared
Goff's for search and like, oh my god, dude, I.

Speaker 1 (01:52:16):
Go, I remember her from uh yeah yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:52:20):
The one time you masturbated.

Speaker 1 (01:52:22):
No, the one time. Yes, that's that is that was
a one time occurrence when I was thirteen years old.

Speaker 2 (01:52:29):
They mixed it in with the kind of like a
housewives or the US ladies love to get together and
blah blah blah and do something for the team and
all this stuff, and it's like, shut up, crazy started
fast forwarding through that. But you get to see the
x's and o's you really get to see Kirk Cousins just,
oh my god, poor Kurt.

Speaker 1 (01:52:50):
I wait, Kurt. He was in the first season too,
was he? So we got first season Kirk Cousins with
Minnesota when he was now wend and now we have
him getting it believe it or not.

Speaker 2 (01:53:05):
If we don't remember, Atlanta was hot until Kirk Cousins
got hurt. And he got hurt, He had three different
injuries he was working with.

Speaker 1 (01:53:13):
And didn't he have like a four interception game or
something crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:53:18):
And they actually won that game.

Speaker 1 (01:53:20):
Yeah, yeah, they came back. It was a weird year
for Kirk Cousins. And then he just getting replaced by
Big Pinnocks energy before the season.

Speaker 2 (01:53:26):
And I haven't I haven't caught the last two episodes,
which I think is going to be Kirk going over
the fact that getting bench for Pinnis and who, Like
you know, this is not about the series, but did
you know that who's scouting Kirk Cousins right now? Guess
which team.

Speaker 1 (01:53:46):
My guests would have been? Pittsburgh until they did Aaron
Rodgers Brown. Ah, there you go.

Speaker 2 (01:53:53):
How many quarterback?

Speaker 1 (01:53:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:53:56):
How many quarter shan? All right, let go flag? Oh
you still got your two Rooks and then you're gonna
put in cousins. I would say that'd be great, But like.

Speaker 1 (01:54:07):
I wonder why the Jets didn't make a run at
him because they just fully want a tank with Justin
Fields for a year or two.

Speaker 2 (01:54:15):
Because in the quarterback class, like really good next year.
But yeah, that's what they always say. That's uh so
what was it? Then? I was like, this is probably
when I was starting to get like it needed three
dipshits to dress up the show to show a Cowboy loss. Oh,
they like when the Cowboys lost on Thanksgiving or something,

(01:54:36):
they had to like dress it up and made it
look like it was such a good game and a
good effort. And it was like, nah, man, they just know.

Speaker 1 (01:54:44):
They weren't in any of those games. No, that's what
I The thing. One of the things that always sticks
out for me is when like when Golf and Stafford
got traded for each other.

Speaker 2 (01:54:56):
Oh and and it shows them the revenge game for
the Golf.

Speaker 1 (01:55:00):
Well but more Yeah, the part that gets under my
skin at times is when you see the wife of
one of these players that be like, oh, thank you
Detroit for everything. We gave our heart to this city
and we felt the love like you sat in the stand,
like you didn't do anything, Like what did you get

(01:55:21):
thrown to the ground by Max Crosby? Did you get intercepted?
Like no, no, you are the wife. You were not
the quarterback.

Speaker 2 (01:55:28):
That's why his wife is the worst about it. Yeah,
you just like when you see the wives, like.

Speaker 1 (01:55:33):
When they talk about themselves as if they're part of
what was the team.

Speaker 2 (01:55:38):
One of the girls, it wasn't Golf's girl, but it
was Jamar Chase's wife or something has like a girl
that is like I guess her Instagram girl that follows
around and takes all the pictures while he's like sitting
there about to get interviewed and gives him a hug
on the way out. So she has a constant camera girl.

Speaker 1 (01:55:57):
That's just the world we live in. At least she
doesn't refer to herself as a member of the Cincinnati
Bengals organization.

Speaker 2 (01:56:03):
So I would say, I give it, you know, out
of five stars, I'll give it a three star. It's
on my list, you know, And one of those stars
is Jared Goff's wife. Again, that's the that's the real star.

Speaker 1 (01:56:18):
So when the Lions did Hard Knocks, and we got
to see the entire Hutchinson family.

Speaker 2 (01:56:23):
Oh there you go.

Speaker 1 (01:56:24):
That was a. That was a that was multi that
was good, that was multi layers.

Speaker 2 (01:56:29):
Uh, I'll get I'll get three generations of that. But anyway,
hit me with one. I got one. Anything for Selena's Ah.
The old AT and T girls starts an adult site
proceeds huh wait, hold on? Yeah, you know missed eighteen
T Girlgeather like Eastern European chiok her name?

Speaker 1 (01:56:52):
Yeah, where's she from? LG.

Speaker 2 (01:56:55):
She's like a Estonian or Estonian? But they always had
like she has some cannon. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:57:00):
Well, and this is what happened when pervs like you
started talking about them every commercial. She covered them up
after they.

Speaker 2 (01:57:07):
Had a flatten that chess there.

Speaker 1 (01:57:09):
They didn't have to, she did because she was swarmed
with pervy d M from guys they thought they had
a random chance with the AT and A.

Speaker 2 (01:57:17):
But she's starting basically an adult content side.

Speaker 1 (01:57:20):
Wait, hold on da, what basically means it's not?

Speaker 2 (01:57:24):
Well, I don't know, it's it's not. It's not hardcore.
You're you're gonna get a lot of softcore because it's
for she's giving all the money to charity. It's I
think it's like only hospitality or something like that called
I believe that's what it's called.

Speaker 1 (01:57:41):
Oh my god, time out. This is a bad bit.
This is a terrible bit.

Speaker 2 (01:57:45):
Yeah, so all the philanthropy philanthropy dot com and you

There's no like. I can't imagine she's actually if.

Speaker 2 (01:58:26):
I pay a thousand dollars, I better see nipple.

Speaker 1 (01:58:28):
No, I don't think. I don't think there's plenty of
guys that spend one thousand dollars in these strip clubs
are in town. You see pasty. I think you're getting
pasty for her.

Speaker 2 (01:58:40):
You're also getting you're also in Europe.

Speaker 1 (01:58:43):
Well, minor detail, but that's a different story. Hit me, LG.

Speaker 2 (01:58:50):
I'm here for the Gang Bang.

Speaker 1 (01:58:52):
Great movie, it said, uh, Todd Phillips director of said
movie Old School. That's him that delivers that line. The
I try to sprinkle in a little local news into
the lightning round. And I saw this headline and got
really really not I shouldn't I shouldn't say excited because

(01:59:13):
two people are dead. But Jesus, I thought I thought
the story was gonna be different than what it actually Okay,
tell me what is this? What does this headline make
you think? First thought as hearing it, quote love triangle
shooting leaves too dead outside HB.

Speaker 2 (01:59:35):
That means like a guy was cheating on a girl,
like a like a guy was hooking up a two.

Speaker 1 (01:59:43):
Se so you immediately think of the fact that it's
cheating involved. Yeah, when I thought when I read it,
I was like, oh man, we got a throuple situation
gone wrong. I think I thought it was like it
was an actual which is yeah, like a love triangle,
like not where is your head as they were doing.
I want to show you know that I lost films, sir.
I've seen a lot of films where these love triangles exist.

Speaker 2 (02:00:05):
These films have X involved in them.

Speaker 1 (02:00:08):
These films are these films are helped putting the girls
through college. I'm doing I'm a philanthropist, is what I'm
trying to tell you. I am a philanthropist. Actually, it
went to charity.

Speaker 2 (02:00:23):
And Catherine hey Hey and sports Sports Cave. If we
all give up five dollars, we can get this. We
can get the flirty one. I don't know if we
can get the thousand dollars one, but we can and
I'll show you all.

Speaker 1 (02:00:39):
Look at this LG. He's already we're trying to get
new microphones and he's about to spend it on the A,
T and T girls softcore.

Speaker 2 (02:00:46):
You damn right.

Speaker 1 (02:00:48):
Yes, we got to keep the we got to keep
tabs of these accounts.

Speaker 2 (02:00:52):
No.

Speaker 1 (02:00:53):
So this the shooting happened in my pocket of town.
It happened down at Macreelis, right there on the south.
That's my my go to is not that far down. Yeah,
it's that's mccreelis before military even.

Speaker 2 (02:01:11):
But it.

Speaker 1 (02:01:13):
When I first read the headline, I mean, first of all,
I immediately recognized the address. I was like, oh, damn okay,
and then I wanted to investigate more of the love
triangle aspect of it. Apparently it's just a guy his
ex wife or ex partner is with another guy. Now
and he saw them at HGB together and shot him
both dead, and he's already been arrested for capital murder.

Speaker 2 (02:01:36):
So this classic love trying.

Speaker 1 (02:01:38):
Not as much fun as I had as I had
originally hoped when I first read the headline, LG hit
me one more time. Let's close it out. So I
mentioned we talked last week. Well, first of all, Titans
new offensive Texan's new offensive line coach distant relative of

(02:02:05):
coach pop Oh Cole Popovich. I knew it had to
be something. You don't have the last name Popovich unless
you're some kind of distant relatives. Now, granted this is
according its Europe. Yeah, definitely, yeah Polish. But no, we
showed the video last week. Well, we showed the video
of the girls beating the hell out of each other

(02:02:27):
at Jerry Jones World at the Star in Frisco. But
we also showed the video of the guy that was
dumb enough to pick a drunken fight on the golf
course with a former NHL player. And if you'll remember, immediately,
the NHL player didn't start throwing fist, he just literally

(02:02:48):
ragdall threw this guy into the pond. That they were right,
it was exactly like your uncle just picking on your
like holding it your head, you know, hole, putting his
hand on your forehead to keep you away as you're
trying to hit him. It was like the guy had
no shot in the fight. He drags himself out of
the pond, and at that point the hockey player immediately

(02:03:10):
he proceeds to put an ass whipping on and grabs
him by the shirt like it's a hockey jersey and
just unloads the whole time saying like I didn't want
to have to do this. I told you so. The
guy that got his ass beat has now spoken out,
and I thought, in as much as I've bitched over
the last few years about accountability being dead, public shame

(02:03:35):
having no value, all of the principles that I was
raised with actually not meaning jack shit anymore, I thought
the way this guy handled it was actually a surprisingly
refreshing reminder of how things should be handled when you
make a fool of yourself in public.

Speaker 2 (02:04:00):
To me, you're probably wondering how I ended up in
this situation. Yep, that's me, guys.

Speaker 1 (02:04:06):
The guy that got dropped like a bucket of balls
and a plant.

Speaker 7 (02:04:10):
Not my finest moment, I know, played thirty six holes
of golf.

Speaker 5 (02:04:18):
We drank way too.

Speaker 1 (02:04:19):
Much and my mouff ran faster than my brain.

Speaker 7 (02:04:23):
All jokes aside, Guys, I'd like to apologize to all
the folks on the course, anyone caught up in it,
and anyone who had to deal with me that day.

Speaker 1 (02:04:33):
I lost my cool and I've.

Speaker 3 (02:04:35):
Learned from it.

Speaker 4 (02:04:36):
Just one of those days where you should have kept
the card on the path, you know, stay hydrated, keep
your stick on the ice.

Speaker 2 (02:04:43):
Maybe stick to eighteen.

Speaker 1 (02:04:45):
Pretty good, pretty good. That's about the best way he
could have handled that.

Speaker 2 (02:04:49):
Like you got publicly and the Canadians you know what,
you know, the course, the.

Speaker 1 (02:04:55):
Course, probably thirty six holes that day.

Speaker 2 (02:04:57):
You know, we're not gonna let you back. Guy, you
know a guy, You're not going to come back and
lets you do it in a polygy video, man, you know,
like that's the only way you kind of went.

Speaker 1 (02:05:06):
Like Jamaican there for a second, completely sounded like a
bad slinguist, man, But you still try and for that
we respect and appreciate it. Well, let's get the hell
out of here so cap won't be uh, so we
can catch up on the home run derby. How did

(02:05:27):
it even end who won? You don't even know? God
dang it. Back back Wednesday night. We'll finish off the
a f C with our a f C Westview.

Speaker 2 (02:05:37):
