Lie d be, lie be, Linda be linea be.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Oh light the beam. We're running a scramble drill here,
fellas we are. We are scrambling on these Thursday night episodes. Now,
I had a lot to do in a little amount
of time after I left iHeart earlier, earlier, about an
hour ago today. But yeah, I forgot that's Tuesday's a Thursday.

(00:35):
It is, it is, And you know who else forgot
this guy until about three o'clock this afternoon when Andy
texted what time I was going to be making it
out to the station. But fear not, we will find
a way to make it happen. Welcome into the Sports
Cave with Biggest Puma, a Thursday night edition. So much

(00:57):
to get to now, with basketball officially back, obviously a
lot of football weekend football to get to as well. God,
I might not even need this flannel. I've been running
around so much like I'm already stressing. I'm already starting
to sweat.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
You know what, our great producer, because I know he's
I know he's doing the jobs down well, he's actually
doing a drone fly over.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
I let him explain that more. But yeah, that sounded quick.
That sounded like a quick that's not for air, that's
not for you. Should have known that when he led
the story with don't bring this up.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
He never said that to me.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
I think I heard it. I think I heard it.
I think I just operate under the official rule that
if LG is telling me something, it's pretty said.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
But to the point he said, because you're working at
iHeart now at an official capacity.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Oh god, now I involved in.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
We can get press passes and go to the post
game interview.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
You're not getting into the post it's not happening. Let
me let it is not happening. Let me cook Man.
I can tell you, okay, call cook Okay.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
To be fair, I said, you can apply yourself for
a press pass through the proper channels. I'll find those
out for you.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, that's what I said, And trust me what I
want man, Yeah, you know it is. It's possible.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
I was like, you do a sports show, you can apply.
All they can do is say no where yes and Uh,
in my past.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Experiences, just because you have ticket seven sixty attached to
your title or employment, Uh, that's not an automatic green light.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
I'm gonna andy you frame it. They get one letter
every two letters every week until they let me in.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah and uh they will respond consistently to all of
those by not responding absolutely broad casting here on the
north side of San Antonio. It is the sports cave
with biggest puma and it's a big day obviously wow
the day after Opening Night for our Spurs. But it's

(03:13):
also a big day because it means no more countdown
to Opening Night.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Well, we got the countdown the Emertis.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Cup the yet from now on it is the Emerties
the Immirates NBA Cup Final Tuesday, December sixteenth, which means
we are fifty four days away from the NBA Cup Final.
Do you even remember who won the Cup final last year?

(03:43):
Off the top of my dome, I want to say Minnesota.
I believe you have similar uniform colors, correct, But I
don't believe it was Minnesota. But I am having to
look it up as I speak because I want to
make sure that I am correct. LA was the winners

(04:03):
of the inaugural in the first year two years ago.
Last year, the Oklahoma City Thunder lost in the final two.
The Milwaukee Bucks raised the banner the Bucks are back
to defend their title as Emmirates NBA co champions. That's

(04:25):
green on the uniform too. Also not same Damn state Minnesota, Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Minnesota, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
I think let's go with that. That's I'm pretty positive.
I am pretty sure of that.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
One city of Minnesota, Minneapolis, there you go.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Yeah, and Saint Paul, which is the capital, sister city
of Minneapolis. It's also so I got really excited. Yeah,
well it is now. I got really excited when I
read what the national day was today. Isn't it? Like,
I know, it's tight in weak? Well, yeah it is.
It is the newfound holiday of tight End Week.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Started by the one and only the greatest George Kittle.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
The greatest self promoting like a fake wrestler or the
greatest at actually playing tight end? Do you think he's fake?
What we I think he's incredibly He's incredibly good at
football and also incredibly performative like a professional wrestler, which
is of course sure.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Yeah, there's no argument that's great.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Uh yeah, they let some scrubs in there too. I
when I read this, I really I really thought it
was something completely different. It's National Mole Day m O
l E.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Is it supposed to be checking for skin cancer.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
So at first I thought, well, first of all, I
thought it was like Moley in Giladas, like National Molay.
I was starving when I did the run sheet. Uh.
And then secondly, I like you, I thought, oh, it's
probably because this is the month where all of the
NFL coaches where the you know, intercept cancer sweatshirts, which
is a terrible slogan. And you don't want to intercept cancer.

(06:11):
That means you now are in possession of cancer. That's
a terrible slogan. They didn't think that through. It's right
there with taco buenos, grab life by the box. They say.
I was like, another good one you told me today. Yeah,
there's a run of bad slogans right now. It's. My
second thought was that that it was like check your
mole for skin time.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
The little ground creatures.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
So that was my third thought. That it was moles
as in the little rodents that we're talking about golf course. No,
but that's a good one too. It is for all
of the chemists out there. It is the ratio, the
measurement that's used to measure the molecules in an atom,

(06:56):
something like that. It's like Avid Gordo's number exactly so
it's National Mold Day, none of the three moles we
originally thought, but it's also a National Horror Movie Day.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Uh yeah, So what's what's your favorite scary movie?

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Again? Left the made for TV Kurt Cameron movie Left Behind.
That's terrifying. That's my left Behind. That's a joke. I got. No,
I don't do scary movies just like I don't. I
don't like, I don't really like. I hate the anticipation.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
It's always like, and I'm I will be that stereotypical like,
don't go behind that dormage.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
You're yelling at the yelling at the TV.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
I'm nervous. So I talk a lot.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
That's fair. I mean, like the ones from my childhood
are the ones that get Yeah, Nightmare on Elm Street, obviously,
I'll tell you Friday the thirteen, I'll tell you.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
The one that got me and for a long time
was Event Horizon. Have you seen that movie?

Speaker 2 (08:02):
I feel like if I have, it has Jurassic Parks Guy,
the the original Durstic Park Guy in there. Oh not
the spaceship where yeah, Sam Neil, this.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
Spaceship that goes to another dimension, but it's basically hell
and it brings it back.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Oh that's like uh, like a pinhead, like the see that.
That one was very like hell or.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
Guy, you're in space and like confined areas. There's a
lot of like phobias.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
That got me. Yeah, that sounds terrifying. The only new one, yes,
great actor. Uh. The only new one that I watch
usually every year is uh and it's not even that
new anymore now, it's probably twenty years old. The Cabin
in the Woods. It's all the different tropes and it's

(08:54):
got a little comedy in it.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Yeah, but like ended up being true, end up like
we have to kill you.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah, exactly. The world we gotta what's her name? Spoiler alert?
Isn't it Jamie Lee Curtis? Right? Isn't she the big
battye at the end, she's the one that's running the whole,
I think so, I'm pretty sure. I don't remember too
spoiler alert before the demon smashes everything? Anyway, what was it?

Speaker 3 (09:21):
When I was a kid, my grandparents used to have
HBO and Cinemax, which was the you know, the one
highlight and we got to go upstairs and now was
where our room was. So you know, me and my
brother were watching you know late night movie skin max
type thing.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
One that always came on that got me, that freaked
me out was Killer Clowns from Outer Space. Okay, have
you ever seen it?

Speaker 2 (09:49):
I've only ever seen like random gifts and stuff like
random memes. I've never Actually.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
It was like a very low budget movie that wasn't
made to be like lely terrifying.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
But to a six year old, yeah, I was terrified.
What's the other one that? Uh, I guess Evil Dead? No, no, no,
I'm thinking of it's another it's like, uh, five Nights
at Freddy's. Oh, they did that one too, but you
didn't see that one. Yeah, I think it was a
It might have been an actual video game before they
did the movie. Or maybe it was a movie then

(10:22):
a game, then a remake of the movie. I don't again,
not so much, especially when there's so much sports to
watch right now.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
So I gotta sit there and pay the pay your
roommate to get some video of you being scared.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
That would love. That would have to start with her
even finding a way to convince me to watch a skill.
I mean, I come up with a mask and just
pop out somewhere on you. Oh, I'm massive jump scared guy. Yeah,
I don't. I don't. I would not handle that. Well.
I do remember like the first time I saw Scream,

(11:00):
Oh yeah, that was a pretty that was a pretty classic,
Like I could tell that was a week well. I
mean again, for someone that doesn't do scary movies, that
was one where I was like, I actually enjoyed viewing
this instead of being terrified of it. Why well, all
of you put me on the hospital.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
What's your I told you event Horizon. But yeah, but
that's not that freaked me out man, Yeah, but that's.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
That sounds more. That's like someone saying their favorite horror
movie is Alien.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
That's a pretty scary one.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
It is, but it's not. I don't know. It feels
you want the classic, you want the classic genre. Yeah,
you know, like an actual horror movie, Halloween, horror movie,
not just something that's gonna scary.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Freddy was one that I saw young the Johnny Depp
getting sucked into the bed.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
Oh yeah, freak. Then the cover of the car comes
up at the end and it's Freddy. The mom gets
sucked through the door window.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
No, like I didn't really watch any like Friday the
thirteens didn't watch the Michael Mauner Halloweens.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
See. I had a buddy who was obsessed with this
is also I guess Chasaw Massacre, that one, the original
or the Reomate.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yeah, like that one was pretty like I was like,
oh my god, they're in Texas.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yeah, oh yeah, could be down the street from me, exactly. Yeah.
I had a buddy who was absolutely obsessed with horror
movies when we were growing up, and he would all
I mean it would be he'd be watching like Friday
the Thirteenth, number seven, or like Jason Goes to Hell
or whatever some of those stupid ones were, and he

(12:43):
would I mean like it was like it was his religion.
It was. It didn't matter how bad the movie was.
He was Exorcists got me. Oh now that's a classic. Yeah,
that one got me. You know.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
Poulter Guy's my favorite drop ever that we can't play.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
No, we can't play, we can't it's my favorite. No,
I'm sure it is. I'm sure it is, and I'm
sure you're not alone in that.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
Hey participate in the chat. What do you like horror movies?

Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yes or no?

Speaker 3 (13:09):
And name which one.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Oh, I feel like I'm gonna lose this vote miserably.
Did y'all ever have I don't know if this is
just a white people North Texas thing, but did y'all
ever have hell houses down here? Does that mean anything
to you? If I say a hell house like a
homemade haunted house. Yes, but usually it's run by a church. Oh,

(13:34):
and they it's a haunted house, but the rooms are
each like different scenarios where it's like Jason chose to
drink and drive and now him and his high school
sweetheart are on their way to Hell because they weren't saved.

Speaker 3 (13:47):
If we can have that baby, Billy drop, no, go ahead,
get outside there.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah, those were the haunted houses we made annual trips to.
There's there was one scene where it was an abortion
with a wire hanger, very much the full clinic, because
they wanted to show the fact that the nurse was
the one that was going to be going to Hell.
And then at the very mod the second to last
room you walk past Satan in Hell and he's, you know,

(14:14):
doing all the Satan things. And then the next room
you get to is Heaven to show you like, you
don't want to be down there with that guy. Come
join all the cool kids. Over here in uh in
heaven and here's also your refreshments.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Say they show like the fifteen year old rape victim
having a nice, pleasurable life and I having.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
To raise a rate, raise a rape baby. No they
missed that room. No they skipped that room. No they
skipped that room. Hell houses where un Yeah, no they
skip they skipped that room. Maybe skip that room as well.
Hell houses were a big attraction in the North Texas region.
If if, if you can imagine that. No, we got

(14:52):
a lot to get to. Obviously, LG.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
If I closes, poll will go away forever. I can't
see the people's comments.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
Just click on I see what it does. Yeah, just
play it. I mean, we're all learning here. I mean,
I haven't even put the picture out to promote the
episode because I'm scrambling so bad. I've got this much written.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
Oh man, he's going for.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
We're almost there. I want to make sure that people
know we're gonna talk spurs talk.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
We see we're talking right now, guys, because you know
we're gonna talk about.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
It, talking spurs or we're.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
Not doing it. We're like combo, so it's edgy. You know,
shut up and do the show.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
You forgot the bitch. Shout out to our friends from
Houston who gave us that absolute gold. No, it feels
like at this point a lot of what I what
I watched opening segment is gonna kind of morph into
spurs notes, because outside of days where we have football

(15:55):
to recap, it's gonna be a lot of spurs talk
at the top of episod.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
So I figured if we if we get that performance
we got last night with was outer worldly, you.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Know, and it feels like that's somehow sliding it.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
It feels like that is being spot in the ocean too.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
So wait, is that a real thing? Or we've got
a spike in us? Okay, say like that. I'm way
more interested in that than I am. You know, a
slasher movie. The Aliens coming Aliens. I think they're going
to be very small. I think I'm thinking like little
like you know, like the little comp like the Mars attack, like.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
A little alien or something like that.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
Okay, well, South Park said they were demons anyway, right.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
The demon spawns. It's nightmare fuel.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Yeah, I figured we would. We're gonna talk a lot
of spurs, but I figured we would start with just
the fact that NBA basketball is back. As we were
in the room Tuesday night, it was the return of
NBA on NBC. The doubleheader we got Tuesday night.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
The double overtime and then the actual crush of LA
because no Lebron, James and Luca couldn't carry him.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yeah, I mean that roster again.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
Kyle Kuzman. He's still playing for them, right.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
No, he's long since he's in Milwaukee now. The NBA
on NBC return also included their entire range of analysts.
They had like seven different people that they were rotating through,
and also featured a little special feature with Jordan Tarico
and Jordan talking. It's nice to hear Jordan actually talk

(17:36):
about basketball again. But more importantly, the ratings.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
Oh okay, hit me with the ratings.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
The most watched opening night in fifteen years for the NBA.
Brother and usually those games are on either TNT or
ESPN on cable channels. They very they haven't debut. You
had the teams with the star power, You had NBC

(18:05):
local affiliates. Yeah, promoting the hell out of it. The
NBA might be back. Now we've got to. We've gotta
until until our federal government emphacides to take all the like, Hey,
don't look over here.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
We're not gonna worry about Epstein files. But we got
some we got we got coaster for you.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
You remember, you remember Damon Jones, that guy that would
make random shots on the Cavs when Lebron was there.
We got him for him, We got him.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
And who was the other guy that they investigated.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
Terry Terry Terry? So yeah, he I.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
Mean, I'm wondering if the FBI is just doing this
like usually what nine conviction rate, Like, they don't arrest
you unless.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
They don't miss too often.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
Yeah, but in this administration, I think the narrative is
more important than the average because then they'll just be like, oh,
it was fixed, you know.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
Yeah, there is there's some I feel like, as crazy,
as crazy as it is that a former podcaster was
given a press conference interview as the head of the
FBI announcing that they had arrested Chauncey Billups, as crazy
as that timeline is to begin with, his.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
Is totally different from everything else.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
But it's actually it's actually not it's actually tied in.
So he do you want you want that specific part
of it now?

Speaker 3 (19:26):
So I thought Chauncey was a part of the bring
the fish into the poker game. So first of all
X ray things, they had secret cameras.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
There are two investigations. There's two operations. And every time
the FBI, we'll just do this here, we were going
to do it during the Lightning round. The every time
the FBI does one of these massive multi year operations,
they always give it a goofy name, like a goofy
play on words reference like you had, you know, like

(19:59):
Operation Warp Speed and stuff like that. Okay, So the one,
the gambling, the poker room investigation is they titled it
Operation Royal Flush. Okay, right, the gambling, the actual effort

(20:20):
changing you know, taking yourself out of games to not
hit prop that's all of that side of the investigation.
It's titled Operation Nothing but Bet. That's your tax dollars
at work as job nothing but but good.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
Like then it reminds me of like they're trying to
like make Trump's blunder.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Nothing bad can happen, only good. Yeah. So the Billups
part of it though, how he connects to the Operation
Nothing but Bet portion of it.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
I cannot get that out of my head.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
No Billups is referred there's a someone referred to as
a co conspirator number eight in that investigation, the one
that focused around Terry Rozier. Co Conspirator number eight was
an Oregon resident. He was an NBA player from nineteen

(21:17):
ninety seven to twenty fourteen. He has been a head
coach of an NBA team since twenty twenty one. And
before a March twenty fourth, twenty twenty three game, Billips
allegedly told one of the other defendants that the Blazers
would be tanking and their star player would not be playing.

(21:39):
And that's a game where Dame Lillard did not play.
So they got Chancey. Yeah, they got Chauncey in both man,
and it's not looking good for anybody in this. I
would normally, I would normally lean to the more conspiratorial
side with you, but we've already seen them take down
multiple like John Say Porter, Michael Porter, Junior's little brother

(22:04):
is also a part. This was the same three year long.

Speaker 3 (22:08):
Because there's got to be like one guy who just
blew this all, like whole.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
All the well. You remember last year when Gilbert Arenas
was arrested, he tweeted out snitch snitch, gil is on
the loose or like he was broadcast. I don't I
don't know if they it was specifically about this or
if it was just about what he was facing. But yeah, clearly,
clearly someone was feeding them a lot of work to do. Yeah,

(22:35):
So doing the show with Andy, we need a button man.
Andy is a massive mafia guy. Like he can tell
you the different eras as if like the way I
would describe Yeah, like the way I would describe Rangers baseball.
He can describe the entire Sicilian Mafia's timeline. Uh So
we were having a lot of fun with it talking

(22:56):
about it today. In fact, LG, I know I'm throwing
you off off we're playing amount of order. But since
we're talking about it here. Last night, Chauncey Billups was
coaching an NBA team, coaching the Portland Trailblazers. What do
NBA head coaches do after games postgame talk? They give
press conferences and Chauncey's Chauncey's choice of words last night

(23:21):
are spreading like wildfire today because it's something that obviously
he probably has said it a thousand times, has never
raised an eyebrow, has never made anybody second guess why
he sed it that way, but listen to how poorly

(23:42):
this aged this is him. And then postgame press conference
last night say he's like, welcome on league. Did you
know I don't. I don't.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
That pressure thing is nothing to me.

Speaker 5 (23:50):
Man.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
I do the best I can and let the chips
fall awad. They may you know that about me, But
now quick, it's just so on the note like they
got I'm worried, They've got I'm worried. I'm worried they
might have Chauncey. Uh, pretty deep, deeply involved. Unfortunate, pretty

(24:13):
crazy though as we were you remember it wasn't two
weeks ago that you and I were sitting in here
talking about how just how hard it would be for
a league mandated rig job. Basically, the NBA has had

(24:34):
multiple rig jobs now, almost.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
Like the NBA was trying to pull a good Dell
with it and just throw those you know, recorded tapes
in the practices in the fire. So New England patriots,
you know, didn't have the conspiracy thing behind him, But
in this day and age, we got the cloud. Guys,
everything you write is in the cloud.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Well that's why it's so funny too, because the whole
reason Harry Rosier was playing on Opening night is because
the league did their investigation into him and cleared.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
Yeah, they both had like turn over their phones and
they didn't find anything like.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
So that's the cloud that now makes me question, like
how thorough is the investigation right now into Kawhi and
Steve Balmer and the Clippers If you can't they're trying
to cover it up. They're trying to cover everything. They
have so many fire but you know what happens there.
They were able to cover it up like that. They

(25:32):
had a fall guy. Look at them do the time,
look at the NFL. They were able to cover it up.

Speaker 3 (25:38):
As is Chauncey Billitts the fall guy on this one?

Speaker 2 (25:40):
Will he be? He's like, I'll do the years, just
set me up in the back end. Yeah, it does
make me wonder what the actual you know, fallout ends
up being when all of it is settled, because it
does fill you know, obviously with reading through some of
the case files throughout the day to day, it feels
like this is far from over in terms of who

(26:01):
else you know, who could end up facing additional charging, you.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
Know, like when it was the steroid era and like
in the Senate got involved and raffy.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
Paul Marrow shook his finger at the Senate.

Speaker 3 (26:14):
You never never got the head of the FBI going
out there. Just give me real time facts, you know.
And he's a podcaster, so it's just, oh my god, man.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
It's a wild turn of events again as the NBA
is having its most viewed opening night, Yeah since twenty ten.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
Are they counting last night as the opening night or
are they counting No, it.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
Was Tuesday night, Tuesday, Tuesday night. The season.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
It seems like everybody turned into the Spurs MAVs game,
like that's all everybody can talk about.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Yeah, well, I mean.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
Wemby becomes the first player ever since the recorded stat
of turnovers to have eighty one percent field goal field
goal percentage, forty points and fifteen blocks turn no turnovers.
It's inhuman.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah, it's such an insane stat line. And also if
you said, if you just said this and I missed it,
he only missed six shots. He took twenty one. He
was fifteen of twenty one, like all of that on
that level of efficiency and only played thirty minutes last night.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
And he was fifty percent from the three pointer because
they only took two three point shots as a team.
The only person that took we took. Every guy took
less than five shots. The only person that took four
shots was Besell. And that's our that's our sharpshooter. We
need him to take yeah, on threes. Everybody else was

(27:51):
under four. So I think the statement, and I listened
to Mitch, our new coach. He's got some dog in them.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
Man.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
I listened to that, like like, don't let up. So
he's got pop is he's trained his new Uh I sent.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
I sent that nicely to l G because as soon
as I saw it, if I closed my eyes, it
was Pop Pop, you have that boards.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
Yeah, don't get lazy, sloppy.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
The intensity my possession dismantled him in the half court.

Speaker 5 (28:29):
Play fast, get back, do it again.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Be disciplined, to be disciplined, to like and embrace the boring.
The mundane, stops rebels, fundamental, physical rebel, transition.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
Brace the mundane. It's even in Pop, Brace the mundane.
It's even in Pop's cadence too.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
Yeah, where he would say it's like three words since
to get the point across, and he's just dogging on
them when they're up by thirty, you know.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Again, I said, I'm glad it was I mean, same absolute,
same page. As soon as I heard that, I knew
we needed it because, I mean, out of all of
the question marks around the Spurs and how this you
know where they're going to end up this season, there
hasn't been a whole lot of talk about the fact
that Mitch, it's now Mitch Johnson steering the ship. You know,

(29:27):
there's you know, obviously the faith and the confidence in
him is high, or they wouldn't have given him the job,
but it's still a level of unknown that we just
haven't seen yet. It's it had always been Mitch as
the interim guy until Pop officially steps away, but now
we are. If this thing is going to achieve the

(29:48):
levels we think it can, it's going to take good
coaching and it seems, i mean, one game into this
season that that was awesome to hear.

Speaker 3 (29:59):
Last night was another quote was Wimby basically, we're all
bought in, we gelled, we got some new pieces.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
We're tired of losing. Yep.

Speaker 3 (30:10):
You know, is like we're done with it, We're tired
of it, and we're all locked in.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
I think he used. I think it was we're tired
of like the continual losing or the prospect of continually losing,
like phrasing it like that. Clearly his first season, they
can see that the foundational pieces are now here. The
you know, the top three leading scorers last night, Wimby Castle,

(30:38):
Steph Castle, Dylan Harper. Yeah, and when they get de
Aaron Fox back, there's your four foundational piece.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
We don't even have our like second, our true all Star.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
Yeah, arguably your second most.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
I mean, did Wimby got on last Oh he got
a reserve last year? He was hurt before the All
Star Game?

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Right?

Speaker 3 (31:01):
Or did he get hurt during the All Star Game?

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Was it right? It was after? Right?

Speaker 3 (31:05):
It was right after? It is because they did the man,
Yeah they did. They try to cheat the system with
the point guard him and Chris Paul.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
You remember that, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they just
like yeah, oh man.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
I think that's what made him go and shall in mode.
That was embarrassing.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Well, the rest of the league I think is now.
I mean, you mentioned it. It wasn't just it wasn't
just spurs, uh, you know, fandom that was speaking out
about how insanely impressive it was.

Speaker 3 (31:40):
Every first take, like stephen A's screaming A. That was
the first take. That was the first literally first take.
It was really the first point the segment they did Wimby,
you know, pt I uh, were you more impressed with
all these things? He's like, it's Wimby. It's taken over

(32:00):
every show because.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Not only did he dominate, he had about five highlights.
The and one under the rim, Yeah, slam dunk, the
alue behind the back, slam dunk, the steal, the volleyball
spike to go down, and then basically cook him with handles,
put him on roller skates to a step back three

(32:24):
and one. That's the play that shows you the basketball
has never seen anybody like that. The fact that, first
of all, about eight minutes left in the third quarter,
he volleyball spikes the shot. Yeah, the shot that a
fellow seven footer attempted, I mean, Derek Lively is all
of seven to one. He's watched that like it's your

(32:48):
uncle playing pickup in your driveway with you.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
Then those kids they getting shot on me exactly.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
He immediately gets the ball right back to lead the
fast break again, even foot six leading a fast break,
and you mentioned it, the handles for a crossover hesy
and then step back three to also get fouled on
for a four point play. That is that is what
the league has to deal with for the next decade plus.

(33:16):
That's that's the kind of that's right, you know, that
is the kind of damn defense to offense that we
have never seen anybody, anybody in league history be able
to do. It's almost it's okay, I don't.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
He learned like he looked like he took all the
teaching from a keen Yeah, and KG and KG AND's
been watching Giannis.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
You know. I hope we continue to see Wenby more
inside the perimeter because I want to see get the
three he has appointed.

Speaker 3 (33:53):
But exactly because that's all Like he heard that enough.
He was like, yeah, I was, I was settling for threes.
It all had a decent even though he had an
elite three percentage, you know, elite field goal percentage. Yeah,
for a three pointer. But when you're seven to six,
come on, man, make it easier.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
You gotta pick and choose. I mean, like last year he.

Speaker 3 (34:16):
Set it instead of forty go for eighty percent.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
So last year played in forty six games, attempted nine
threes a game. Yeah, I don't think we're gonna see
that number a shot, only thirty five percent on him
as well, But the it feels it feels odd to
make the comparison. But watching Wimby last night, particularly that

(34:40):
exchange in the third quarter where it was him with
the defensive play and then him with the offensive play
that you would expect from a guard. That kind of
two way ability is the same shades I feel like
watching when I watched Otani last Friday, where it's like
this guy goes out, he's ten strikeouts through six INNY

(35:04):
in a playoffs game, like that's insanely awesome. That's a
good pitching performance. And then he also is the same
guy that hits three home runs, And that's Wimby where
it's discredit it, that's stupid. You see them.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
If Pete Rose is banned for life.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Let me let me know when you get your hater
your check for being a hater. Let me know when
that ever reaches your doorstep, because I I give me
a couple of years. It's one of those it's one
of those moments where you're looking at a guy that
can just physically do things that no one else in
the sport can and that's that's the biggest takeaway for

(35:45):
me and why I think the rest of the league
was reacting how they were last night, because I think
everyone kind of sees the writing on the wall. It's
he's here, it's officially. Even more so, his MVP odds
last night on poly Market, they were eleven percent before
the game started. At the end of the game, they

(36:06):
were twenty two percent. They double, his odds doubled. Oh
to be Uh to be MVP series for Wimby. I mean, yeah,
Wemby's MVP odds. I thought we're talking with Tan Yeah,
but uh, in Vegas, Wimby before the game was had
the fifth best odds to win MVP. He's now second
behind s g A.

Speaker 3 (36:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
Like instantly one game Joker, everyone was just like, yeah,
Jokers third and Wimby.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
I can't wait for the good Delague game on the
NBA right now, the Nuggets and Warriors.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's gonna be a good one, especially
since I think Corford is playing in this. They're not
going to play him in back to backs this year,
so I think he's playing this one.

Speaker 3 (36:51):
Did they is it a back to back or like, no,
they it's a one game they didn't play yesterday.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
Yeah, but they have a back to back tonight and tomorrow.
They do think he's playing the front end of this one,
which means he'll get to I mean, not that he's
the draw, but to see that they might have right
and it makes their you know, it makes their matchup
more interesting to the unbiased fan. Between the two of those,

(37:17):
the biggest takeaway from the night outside of Wimby and
outside of you know, the actual guys on the court.
So the roommate flew back last night. She flew in
her plane landed at like nine to fifteen, So I
knew I had a decision to make right. But do

(37:38):
you send the uber? Okay? So this is this is
how I justified it. I was a I was a
good company man, and listened to it on our big
brother station, twelve hundred w WOAI because they were doing
their first rollout. They're doing a Dylan emery. He's doing

(37:58):
a thirty minute pregame show and then they're doing the
thirty minute Spurs pregame show, which are Buddy Carl showing
showing Bill's son. Bill's kid is hosting that and doing
all the studio updates. During the game, and then of
course Dan Weiss calling his first game as the radio

(38:18):
the new radio voice of the Spurs, replacing Carl's dad,
replacing Bill. So I wanted to hear. It allowed me
to I wanted to hear the whole presentation and how
it was because that, you know, when the Spurs aren't
when the Spurs are battling to try to get better
draft lottery odds than trying to get a playoff spot. Yeah,

(38:43):
that those broadcasts aren't a whole lot of fun. It's
just it is what it is. But last night I
wanted to, Yeah, because I wanted to hear the high
I've been that like Quadruple like listeners, I would think
they did well. I hear the I hear the suits
are quite happy with how last night. So it allowed
me first of all, to you know, listen to all

(39:04):
of our new radio elements going into the game. But
then secondly, once I uh picked the roommate up, I
got a lost palapas burp waiting to make an appearance.
After I picked the roommate. I've told you, I'm scrambling, dude,
we were I've got to figure this schedule out. We're
not there yet, but maybe in another week I'll have

(39:28):
you might eat too, because I also had a fresh
caesar dressing at lunch with all the fish and all
the anchovies in it or sardines whatever they use.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
Oh man, they love you around the office.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
Dude, I'm the a hole that was wearing a shirt
with my likeness on it today, And it dawned on
me as I'm walking, as I'm walking through the offices
at iHeart. I don't know anybody. I know Andy, Yeah,
that's it.

Speaker 3 (39:57):
Everybody else is like it was this tall like especially
when you you're a tall guy.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
Right, everybody sees you. It is like the light Like,
who's this jag wearing his own image on his shirt?

Speaker 3 (40:08):
He's supposed to be it's me. Did you ever have
a beard like that?

Speaker 2 (40:11):
Oh that's your hair. No, that's a beard too. That's
when we were still we were We've talked about it
like this, like me not full beard.

Speaker 3 (40:21):
It was just as though, I'll go.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
It was very very meth biker redneck.

Speaker 3 (40:28):
Well to get into some of the chat, right, go ahead,
you got something from on the chat we got I
think the James came with the quote of the the day.
The league is better placed when the jail Blazers are
jail blazing.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
Fair.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
That had me laughing. Fair Duster comes in. The only
gripe he had was the Spurs and pulled their starters
sooner because we're six minutes, we're twenty four and we're
twenty four up. I think Duster, we were making a statement.
We get out from the first game of the season,
we're gonna pull those starters a little earlier. But that

(41:05):
was statement night, no question, you know, I'm sure Weinnby
was like, no, I'm going back out there.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
I want It's been eight months since he played a game.

Speaker 3 (41:13):
I think he wanted forty and he was like, I
want to get my forty, then you can pull me.
And that's what happens. Like when he gots forty. All
the second stream came in, which was Dylan Harper, you
know all LaSelle like, you know, like Keldon, Keldon Johnson's like,
god man, our bench is so deep, dude like.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
And still missing so hand and fox Man.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
It's we're going to see some nasty We're gonna see
some real nasty work this.

Speaker 2 (41:43):
We're going to see some incredibly uh some incredible performances
like we did last night. But we can't get too
down when we see it bro exactly exactly with all
of these young guys, we're still and we're winning. The
mark he's cut. Yeah, the amertis yes, the the Dubai open, Uh,

(42:05):
we're gonna We're gonna see some games of inconsistency. It's
it's just bound to happen. So uh but yeah, as
you say, eighty two game season, uh, the drive for
eighty two and oh is still alive. It's still I
I I really noticed, like I knew this game. You know,
obviously season opener. Of course you're opening against an end

(42:27):
state rival round pick. You've got the first round pick
versus the second round pick, like there were going to.

Speaker 3 (42:34):
Be Anthony davisably the best big man in the league, because.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
What well, who says that? A lot of people like
who else? We?

Speaker 3 (42:45):
I mean, you got Giannis, I mean kids, hell, I
might even say Evan Mobley at this point. A d
is a ad is when he's when he's healthy, he's
a demon.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
In And the last time he was healthy was on
his freshman league team.

Speaker 3 (43:06):
He was healthy last just run with me.

Speaker 2 (43:08):
He's twenty pounds weight. He's got traded a guy who
they didn't like because he was fat, and now they've
got a guy who's got on.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
Him and now we got the MAVs than talking about right.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
No, I'll tell you, I'll tell you this honestly. So
last night.

Speaker 3 (43:27):
Basically he put him in his poty like he had
him hold in his pocket like a seb bitch.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
No, it was, it was not, it was not. It
was again, it was a performance that I think opened
a lot of people's eyes for because ad is still
viewed from that. Yeah, from that perspective.

Speaker 3 (43:42):
But an elite big man. How about that.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
God man when he's healthy? When trade him for Luca bro, Yeah,
we didn't. You better put some spective. We didn't trade
him for Luca. Mas fan, We didn't trade him for Luca.
Those days are are long behind.

Speaker 3 (43:58):
Those sports cave. Can we let him teams?

Speaker 2 (44:00):
He's a MAVs fan, Well, again, there's no there's no.

Speaker 3 (44:03):
Much When you hate my baseball and my football picks,
even my OSU college football, that was that's that's where
I was born. This is a MAVs fan. Wh why
do you say the teams?

Speaker 2 (44:15):
When's the last year?

Speaker 3 (44:16):
Because you were a MAVs fan last year until Luca.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
Left right, and that was when it ended, Like that
was the end. Actually, I'll tell you to be completely honest,
last night watching the game. It the thing about growing
up in DFW and rooting for the MAVs, it was
always the MAVs conducted business in the Spurs way of

(44:41):
having the loyalty to Dirk, having the one guy that
they were always going to build around Dirk, taking the
cuts like Duncan did to try to build the team.
There was it was like it was like if your
spoiled cousin tries to do what your family that's built
on principles, So like when you come to the family

(45:02):
family reunion and your spoiled cousin comes over, he was like,
oh we do we do that, but just a little differently.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
That was trying to act like a small market team
in a big market.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
Very much so. And they and when the Cowboys are
as dominant as because also the history of the MAVs
up there, no, I mean dominant in terms of media
against the the MAVs were always the little MAVs off
to the side, like go go play at the kids
table while the the adults are actually doing sports, like

(45:31):
go play your little basketball game. The even you know,
the Rangers were higher in the media hierarchy than than
the MAVs. But the way the MAVs did business my
entire lifetime is completely antithetical to the way they do
business now. And it started when trying to Moguls bought

(45:52):
the team when Cuban sold, that was the first sign
where I was like, you know what, I can see
the exit. I can see the offering off the highway,
but I just it's five miles ahead. You didn't I
got it. I got away. And then the Luca trade
was like the meme where it's turned the wheel fast
to make the exit. It's like, nope, we're done here.
This is this is where it ends. And I will

(46:14):
remind you we are less than four less than three
years away from San Antonio being the city I've lived
in the majority of my life. Yeah, so like we're
reaching the point where it's not carpet bagging or let's
get over that.

Speaker 3 (46:32):
Like I hate the did you ever live there? You
don't have to live in a city to root for
the team. You don't have to.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
You don't, but it helps, it helps explain the fandom. No,
you're a fan, you're a fanatic of a team. I
am a Yankees fanatic, but there is lived in New York. No.

Speaker 3 (46:50):
When I got introduced to baseball, it was my grandpa
and Lou Garrick that was his favorite, and Mickey Mantle.
He would tell me stories, he had memorabilia.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
Like there's still a difference of growing up in the
city where the team plays, because you feel the energy
of the city every day after a.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
Winner a loss. Oh yeah, like that's it. Like San
Antonio is, like we didn't have a team in Austin.
San Antonio was the only city where I was like,
I saw it come together when a championship was won,
and I was like, oh, man, I really wasn't a
huge Spurs I knew David Robinson was. I went to
the Alamodome, you know, but I really didn't become I

(47:30):
didn't really become a fan until we were going on
those championship runs. And now I saw the effect that
it had on the city. Yeah, you know, and it
being the only professional team in here in the city
that I've ever lived in, you know, like that's I
was like, man, I'm a Spurs fan, you know, but.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
Keep talking that loss, you kill me.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
I still remember the point four shot, I was like,
I broke my hand punching a wall. Yeah, like the
Ray Allen like, yeah, there's the fanatic in me. The
shot had me almost punched first Jesus for Jenson, it.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
Well, I think you that would have been would have
been acceptable, you give me hell though, I will like full, transparently,
full transparency, all honestly on the table. It felt different
watching the game last night for me because it did find,
like like you said months ago, the fact that the

(48:34):
MAVs had just gotten they had just one gotten the
number one pick one the draft lottery for the first
time ever, first time they've ever moved up in the
draft lottery. They got a tall white dude. Hello. Yeah,
second from Duke Hello, like.

Speaker 3 (48:52):
Everything everything spoke to you.

Speaker 2 (48:55):
But last night, watching that game, zero emotion to wards
the flag debut, it was still it was very hard
to watch at the beginning of it because I was
just thinking about I ought to be completely I was
flashing back to like twelve year old me watching Dirk
for the first time, yeah, and just imagining the amount

(49:16):
of kids in Dallas that might be too young to
really be affected by the Luca trade. But now they've
got their guy that they can latch onto like I
did Dirt. But it instantly made me realize those memories
are just that it's not the same team, it's not
the same organization. It will never feel the same to

(49:39):
me as the childhood version of the Dallas MAVs, which
again made it really easy to watch Wemby and be like, yes,
we're gonna dominate the MAVs for a decade. Baby.

Speaker 3 (49:51):
So another hot take that I always had that you
always poo.

Speaker 2 (49:56):
Pooed on.

Speaker 3 (49:58):
The tin position of Stefan Castle and the growth that
has happened in the first game, He's back looks stellar.

Speaker 2 (50:10):
Yeah, he was at eight for twelve, twenty two points.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
Above the rim, lockdown, d rebounding, doing everything right.

Speaker 2 (50:21):
He's a second coming in Kawhi Leonard. Like, I think
he's a little more athletic. I was about to say
more definitely more explosive. Yeah, yeah, So when I said
this guy's gonna be as good, he's going to be
a factor, do you agree with me? Now?

Speaker 3 (50:38):
I don't think I never you said he wasn't gonna
be that big of a jump when I said he's
gonna be quiet, like the jump was gonna be a
big jump from that.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
I didn't think the jump was gonna be a potential
fringe All Star this year.

Speaker 3 (50:51):
I think he's gonna be an All Star.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
See and I still think. I still say let's I
think we're also see.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
I think it's gonna be Fox Castle Wimby gonna put
three in the All Star Game this year.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
I mean, if they are forty one and oh at
the All Star break, it'll be hard for the league.
You gotta be forty one and O. First, the true
measure of how big last night's game was was the fact,
for the first time I moved here in twenty eleven,

(51:22):
so I got the tail end of the dynasty and
then had so the year. Ironically I moved here in
February twenty eleven, the MAVs won the championship that summer,
so it was right so again, righting high off the
MAVs first championship the first year I moved to San Antonio.

(51:45):
What could ever go wrong with this? But last night
was the first Opening Night game I can remember since
when I first moved here, those first few years where
the was fully engaged. Oh yeah, everyone was living and
dying on every possession. Loud reactions, good, bad, whatever. The

(52:09):
call was uh audio every TV screen on the game,
which wasn't happening a couple of years ago, full audio,
and the bar wasn't happening. We had to you would
get you know, crappy festival indie rock while you're trying
to watch the game on two screens. And every race

(52:30):
that has nine screen.

Speaker 3 (52:31):
Every sports bar, like like the one, uh my buddy
Chip shout out to him and rup up and everything,
all his endeavors. That was packed because I lived by there,
you know, and that was the one that did the
Winbiyama like if we get there dat free dreams goat
National Press on that one. Macintyres Joe by there didn't

(52:52):
go in because it was so that place gets crazy.
And then just go up to a slackers man and
it's no sea to the bar, you know, like and
like half like more than half the tables, fool. I'm like, dude,
everybody's out on a Wednesday, right late game.

Speaker 2 (53:09):
Late game, eight forty five eleven pm, yep, watching this game.
The city's energizing. It's different, it does. It feels so
cliche to just say it like this, but it's the
best way I can. That's why cliches are what they are,
because it is true. The Spurs have have re arrived across.

Speaker 3 (53:32):
And that's why we need to make that statement game. Yeah,
that was a statement game to be like that was
for Wenby's first Opening Day win, you know.

Speaker 2 (53:41):
Really, Yeah, I didn't realize last two.

Speaker 3 (53:43):
Years we lost the Opening Days. So I'm I'm stoked.
I'm ready. We're gonna be talking Spurs for the next
six months.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
Yeah, like I say, I mean during the episodes Tuesday
and Thursday nights, it's gonna be really hard not to
just spend the first forty five minutes recapping whatever happens
with this team, because they's gonna be there's gonna be
highlight every every game and not a castle.

Speaker 3 (54:09):
Not a castle, if not a.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
It's fun again, It's fun as someone who like I'm
I'm a sucker for glutton for pain, like watching the
bad years that led to the Wimby pick. Yeah, and
trying to find silver linings of like, oh, actually this
guy might have something. He might be here, you know,
like Champagne might be one that can be a role,

(54:35):
he can be Danny Green, you know exactly, Like you
don't have to do. You don't have to fool yourself
into finding ways to be entertained watching the Spurs. Now
it is officially must watch basketball, must watch television again. Uh,
you want to get into some NFL talk, some cow notes,
you wanna what do you got? Are we do college

(54:57):
football like we wrap? I was gonna do Uh, I'm
gonna do that at the back half of the main site.
But if you got something now.

Speaker 3 (55:06):
I was like, I was like, because usually we do
the we do the NFL and then we do our picks.
I mean, you know, I was just like, I wanted
to go through the college games because so many upsets.

Speaker 2 (55:15):
I know, we missed, we missed there, there's the full drop.
It is all right, Well let's move it around. Let's
do uh, let's do college football here because we didn't
get to it Tuesday. Talk about the Horns as you
mentioned you just mentioned, uh, last week, four top ten
teams ended up going down. Yeah. Uh, Longhorns not a

(55:35):
top ten team anymore, but almost went down themselves. Took
a overtime for Kentucky. Not only that, but took a
goal line stop on third and fourth down in overtime. Uh,
and then could only get a field goal on the board,
which is all they needed. But still, yeah, not a.

Speaker 3 (55:55):
The defense had a step up which they got a stellar.

Speaker 2 (55:58):
D like that. That's the only thing keeping them alive.

Speaker 3 (56:01):
You know, they're so stellar.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
I see, I see. Uh god, my wheels are so
shot off now I could I could see it. It's
like I was standing on the train tracks just staring
at the All right, So the Longhorns offensive line, So
the big argument. Obviously, anytime the offense struggles, all the

(56:28):
focus and intention turns to art. But you look at
some of the uh you know, uh performance metrics of
the offensive line in that game, it was there were
three of the three of those dudes were basically unplayable
when you look at their game at the end of nothing.

(56:50):
The only thing saving them is there one returning starter.
What's his name? DJ? It was it DJ Campbell.

Speaker 3 (56:58):
Half your line went the NFL last right three.

Speaker 2 (57:01):
Exactly, And that's what the one that didn't. DJ Campbell
has been the only anchor, and he's been fine, you know,
hasn't been. But so two things can be true simultaneously.
The quarterback play is below average, missing throws, holding onto
the ball too late. But also it's really hard to

(57:25):
play quarterback behind an offensive line that's playing that poorly,
and the fact that your quarterback has the wheels that
he does is the only thing that is allowing him
to have any success behind that offensive line. There's just
problems all over the offensive side of the ball.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
I heard a stat that Quinn you Weers got hit
around sixty times last year. Arch has already got that number.

Speaker 2 (57:48):
I believe it.

Speaker 3 (57:49):
And again, that's so he's gonna double. He's basically gonna
get double the hits. And it's not it's I would
put its seventy to thirty offensive line thirty on Arch
for just holding the ball sixty forty.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
Sure, maybe, but I don't think it's a fifty to
fifty split. I agree with you the offensive But that's
where two things because if.

Speaker 3 (58:09):
They had a running game, and that means the offensive
line is doing something right.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
Yeah they're they're they're not past protecting, they're not run
blocking effectively. But yeah, those are the two things that
are simultaneously true. Arch is holding the ball too long
and overthrowing, throwing behind guys while his offensive line is
performing as one of the worst units in the entire SEC. Yeah,
and they don't have a favor. Nothing's gonna getasy because

(58:36):
they played Mississippi State this week, so yeah, I mean looks,
but they haven't won an SEC game in like two years.
Almost old dogs SEC.

Speaker 3 (58:48):
Okay, but all right, so running through them Miami loses
one of my faves when I like, I want them
to run the table, you know, definitely getting I still
think they're to get in, Like, what's the what's some
of the toughest matchups coming in?

Speaker 2 (59:04):
Well, no one really left on the ACC schedule for
them to fret the uh.

Speaker 3 (59:08):
I mean they got SMU Danford's next in C State
Virginia Tech pit, so they should run the table. You
would expect them, but they should have BEI Louisville.

Speaker 2 (59:18):
See For whatever reason, I think it's because it's Miami,
it's a Friday night. There's so much other stuff you
can be doing in Miami on a Friday night. They
play in the Dolphins Stadium, where if it's not full
but in every seat, you're not getting a proper football environment. Really,

(59:39):
it seems like every single year Miami either loses one
of these Friday night games or almost lose. I think
it was Georgia Tech last year. That they barely beat
on the you know hell Mary to stay undefeated last year.
As long as they did, they always one of these
Friday games always gives them trouble. It's always like a
trap game very much.

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
So they get too comfortable with Ohio State blanks Wisconsin.
Indiana still asserts their authority over Michigan State thirty eight thirteen,
Texas A and M nail bider close. Yeah, but they
stay undefeated.

Speaker 2 (01:00:15):
Closer than it needed to be and high scoring what
forty what was it? Forty five forty two, forty five,
forty two A and M staying That's one of those
instances where I think they were thinking too much about
the trip to Death Valley and LSU this Saturday night.
It was as they were sitting in Fayetteville playing a

(01:00:36):
football game against a team that had just fired the
coach that all of them were pretty tired of hearing from.
So there was a little motivation for Arkansas and probably
a little less focus on that game from the Eggs.

Speaker 3 (01:00:50):
Alabama and Georgia assert their daddiness over the SEC by
beating Old Miss in Tennessee.

Speaker 2 (01:00:56):
One of those a little more dominant than the other,
though the h ole miss was an absolute shootout. I
don't think we had a punt or a turnover in
that game.

Speaker 3 (01:01:05):
Beck had a horrible game, like he like, he missed throws,
he was getting sacked, he was making not what Heisman
style decisions that he was in.

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
Which one are you talking about? Uh? Be the well
he had a terrible game last year, Like now who
the uh the Georgia kid? Now?

Speaker 3 (01:01:29):
Yeah, Stockton Gunner, Stockton Gunner.

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
Yeah. So yeah, the Bama looks. Bama looks. It looks
like the two best teams in my opinion in the
SEC are Bama in Texas, A and M. Yeah, and
I want to see the two of them. Do they
play each other? But I don't believe. I think it
would only be a conference championship matchup. I believe off.

Speaker 3 (01:01:50):
Top of yeah, A and M schedules, they got L
s U this week, which is gonna be a great one.
Hopefully we get L s U a third loss Missouri.
God man, they got some tough teams then the couple.
You know, give me South Carolina if you want to
call it to give me they should beat them. Samford.

Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
I mean, that's the traditional SEC game, second to last game,
right before your rivalry and.

Speaker 3 (01:02:15):
Then the ut Yeah, you know, but I expect like
I'm a and m they scared me.

Speaker 2 (01:02:25):
You know, that defense is terrifying.

Speaker 3 (01:02:28):
They they seem like Miami where they always have that
one game where it's like you should have won that one. Yeah,
you know when they're making these deep runs when they
have the actual talent, and they got so much money
in il money, like just like Tech who lost against
Arizona State.

Speaker 2 (01:02:42):
Yeah, they do come back, fell short, and then this
week had to do they rolled uh, Kirby Hoka, their
defensive coordinator, and Joey or I mean they're athletic director,
and Joey Maguire, the head coach. They rolled both of
them out in a press conference together, and Kirby Kirby

(01:03:03):
sounded like, you know how when a politician gets busted
for cheating on his wife and he has to do
the apology press conference with his wife standing right next
to him.

Speaker 3 (01:03:13):
I should have never done that. I'm reasserting my faith
to Lord Jesus.

Speaker 2 (01:03:18):
And my wife Lucy's fault exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:03:23):
I did not have sexual relations with that woman.

Speaker 2 (01:03:26):
Kirby sounded like a politician apologizing for an affair as
he was announcing, Look, I'm really sorry. I know I've
I've done my part to promote this, and I apologize.
But we we Texas Tech, we read Raider Nation will
no longer be allowing tortillas into any sporting events. And

(01:03:48):
the way he was talking about is like, I know,
I know this is going to be painful for a
lot of y'all out there, but stand with us, support us,
support your your beloved university, Texas Tech University, make the
Jones the best atmosphere in college football, like we all
know it is like he was literally talking like and
then Joey McGuire, the first thing he.

Speaker 3 (01:04:09):
Says, big tortilla Mafia sitting there like I'm gonna.

Speaker 2 (01:04:12):
Exactly, it's a hostage video. And then the first thing,
Joey McGuire, I might have to pull this for next
week because it was hilarious. The first thing Joey McGuire says,
I'd like to start off by apologizing for my role
in all of this. I thought I thought it was
pretty cool we threw tortillas when I got here. Yeah,
it's like the main reason I wanted to move from

(01:04:34):
Cedar Hill High School up to college football coach is
the traditions that come along with college football, and sadly
this tradition ends today. We will no longer be embracing
the tortillas or any of the any individuals that throw tortillas.
Like it was very it was very, very weird the

(01:04:56):
way they handled it, especially after the loss to that
just made it even worse.

Speaker 3 (01:05:01):
So Oregon dominate over Rutgers Vanderbilt, it searts their sec
dominance over losing LSU.

Speaker 2 (01:05:09):
So first, So what Vandy first win over LSU? I
think since nineteen ninety something like that.

Speaker 3 (01:05:19):
Something crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
It was the first time they were the favorite in
the game against the top ten team, right, and Vandy
now is the top ten team. They jumped all the
way from seventeen to ten after that, Yeah, victory over
the tack.

Speaker 3 (01:05:34):
They just switched places LSU and Vandy. Then we got
a Notre Dame and it was a close one with
USC as the classic. Not much of talk, you know,
West Coast no conference team.

Speaker 2 (01:05:47):
Well, the only thing to say there is that Notre
Dame's in the playoff format now unless they lose to Navy,
there's no one else on their schedule that should come
close to testing them. Yeah, and that the only other.

Speaker 3 (01:06:01):
Oklahoma gets back on the winning streak, those dirty, dirty Sooners.

Speaker 2 (01:06:06):
It was a little easier than I kind of originally expected.
I thought South Carolina on the road might be I
think that was on the road and.

Speaker 3 (01:06:14):
The Battle of the Salt Lake was won by the Mormons.

Speaker 2 (01:06:17):
Yeah, the Holy War went the Mormons way. Congratulations, followers
of Joseph Smith. You will celebrate for another year as
you dominate the beautiful, beautiful state of Utah. It is
my favorite state.

Speaker 3 (01:06:30):
One of my favorite airports is my very clean absolutely.
But so the big games next week, we got the
early one Old miss in Oklahoma. They're going at it.
Then we got Vanderbilt ballle in Missouri to six and
one teams, so that's gonna be your two thirty game.
Then we got Texas, like I said, it's based in
Mississippi state. Then Texas A and MLS us your late game.

(01:06:54):
It's kind of a bad week of college. It's kind of,
to be honest, it's a bad week of football in general.
Looked at the NFL schedule, we're looking at this Thursday game. Man,
the Vikings looked straight. Carson Wentz, as the kids would say,
is cooked.

Speaker 2 (01:07:07):
Yeah, you and Colin you you, Colin Coward and the
rest of the kids. Colin saying this crap, He's saying cooked.
I am literally page, I've heard it.

Speaker 3 (01:07:17):
I hate Collins Colin's uh, Colin Coward, I've heard it.
Oh no, it's Chris Collinsworth. Chris collins is the one
that really gets me.

Speaker 2 (01:07:25):
Oh see, I love collins Worth, except now here's the guy.
Now here's the guy. Well, and collins Worth is when
I used to play football, you know, because I was
such a great receiver, and he really okay, so I
I don't want to hear his stats.

Speaker 3 (01:07:41):
People brought him up he was.

Speaker 2 (01:07:43):
A thousand yard or as a rookie, like his first
three because of injuries. Yes. Also, Collinsworth has a notorious
I'll find this and we'll do an X files about it.
He's got a notorious interview with the TV station where
they ask him, Chris, you're an NFL player, Why did

(01:08:03):
all your girlfriends appear to be so young? Yeah? Well,
I like them. I like them around sixteen. I like
them because they're stupid. Yeah, because they don't know anything
and I don't have to deal with it.

Speaker 3 (01:08:15):
It was like it was like the Sean Connery interview,
Like you know, you give you a little little little smack,
you know, sometimes they need they need that. It's exactly what,
except they don't shut up smack. Sean Connery was just
said that like twenty years earlier, I think it was,
that was still the Collinsworth you know, that was Karl
Malone marrying a fourteen year old.

Speaker 2 (01:08:36):
Might have been when it first started at Poor Poor Girl.
Uh yeah. The only other game, uh, the only other
game I had circled was actually the one that involves
your University of Rooting interest.

Speaker 3 (01:08:55):
So we're gonna get worked.

Speaker 2 (01:08:57):
It should be a good bounce ball.

Speaker 3 (01:08:59):
We're gonna get another bit. We're gonna get it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:01):
More importantly, the game is in still Water. So l G,
do you have this the clip from uh throw if
you can, either the clip or the photo I sent
you from last week the Oklahoma.

Speaker 3 (01:09:13):
States is the one thing I'm thinking of. So we
two weeks ago we saw to do with the male anatomy.

Speaker 2 (01:09:22):
It has to do with Halloween costumes. Okay, no, like
it's kind of the male anatomy kind of people's chest
hair shaved. No, I didn't say that one.

Speaker 3 (01:09:34):
Yeah, No, the shirt shirt they take it off the shirt.
But now I saw multiple people with os U shaved
in their chest hair.

Speaker 2 (01:09:42):
So two weeks ago we had the shirts, the shirts.

Speaker 3 (01:09:46):
I need a pistol, Pete, just like big old face.

Speaker 2 (01:09:49):
Get yeah, get someone to carve it in like yeah exactly.
So this last week we didn't get the student section
taking their shirt off and twirling around their head like
Pete Pablo. We got them all dressed up in banana
costume and they just did a conga line around the

(01:10:11):
stadium as all dressed in banana. Oh man, we got jokes. Yeah,
look look at along the look at the sketching out all.

Speaker 3 (01:10:22):
Those shirtless men made so many friends. Those those boys,
it's uh, they started WhatsApp chat.

Speaker 2 (01:10:28):
This is my favorite storyline of in college football this year.

Speaker 3 (01:10:33):
So let's see who gets gets on our train again
and our trends.

Speaker 2 (01:10:37):
Okay, look hear me out. This might sound crazy, but
I think this helps y'all's coaching search. I think it
can show. It shows we have the fan base. You
can show maybe GJ. Kenny. Hey, look, people still love
Oklahoma State football. They just want a reason to root
for it. Look at these Look how dedicated our students

(01:11:00):
are they're coming up with bits every week to still
show they support the program, support the team. Come be
the savior, Come be the person that turns this passion
into success. And they had to stop us from hitting
the wall with our paddle. Paddle.

Speaker 3 (01:11:15):
That was ridiculous. Man, that was man. I hated when
they said that.

Speaker 2 (01:11:19):
I mean, it's not ridiculed because it's literally, Oh they
can't hear. Yeah, Like, that's not that. I would agree
with you. We did it. We've did it for twenty
thirty years and thirty or forty years ago. I would
agree with you if they also banned the cowbells at
Mississippi State, like you shouldn't have It's like vuvuzelas at

(01:11:41):
the World Cup. You shouldn't be allowed to have, like
noise making. Just your voice is just fine. Scream yell.

Speaker 3 (01:11:47):
You're the guy that's like, you need to sit down
in front of me.

Speaker 2 (01:11:50):
No, you're gonna You're going to stand the whole game.
I'm the opposite of that guy. No, because that what okay,
Ohm the thing with the paddle and like tradition, because
they do they have rules where the defense can't clap.
I think that's called delay of game on the defense

(01:12:11):
manipulaly like creating sound to affect the like cadence of
the play call. That's we call that illegal when a
player does it. I just wanted to carry over to fans.
I'm also I'm giant. You think I'm the guy that
tells people to sit down. I have beer cans thrown
at me every country concert I go to because some

(01:12:33):
redneck behind me is only five to ten. You can't
see anything around me. I will never be the guy
that would tell someone to sit down. UTSA bye week,
no utsa game they got, They got it handed to
them last week.

Speaker 3 (01:12:51):
Jeff Trailor is really the looking at that fan base,
and he's I think he can.

Speaker 2 (01:12:55):
Work with it. I don't think he's He's not the
one you want. He's not. He's not he's not the one.
He's not the name he's not gonna be. He would
be the name if you get rejected by a couple
other guys, just in terms of like, I think Jeff
would be the best hire one of them. He'll stick around,
right but I think the shine, the national shine is

(01:13:16):
off of him enough right now that he's not gonna
be the hot candidate that I think the GJ. Kenny
one makes the most sense to me. I mean, he
set all the passing records that Tulsa, He's got Oklahoma
ties at least in that take. We take Tulsa after
they finally beat US, right, coach, that would be only appropriate.

(01:13:38):
One last college football game. This is always interesting to me.
You mentioned the the Holy War. B WYU beat Utah
last week, So b YU travels to unranked Iowa State Saturday.
Iowa State is a two and a half point favorite. Wow,
the unranked home team in college football. Being the favorite

(01:14:03):
is usually a key identifier, like a key betting sign of.

Speaker 3 (01:14:07):
They're playing above their weight class, you know, like well,
but Iowa State has always been a home team advantages
like Seattle the Seahawks and Seattle.

Speaker 2 (01:14:19):
Games is pretty difficult, especially because they usually.

Speaker 3 (01:14:22):
Later they're doing it for all the cancer kids that's watching.

Speaker 2 (01:14:24):
Over well, that's their in state rivals Iowa. That's how
Iowa the Hawkeyes. But yeah, no five and two Iowa
State a favorite over number eleven undefeated BYU this week.
Just something things that caught my attention. Will frame it
that way. You want to get into some NFL talk.

Speaker 3 (01:14:46):
Yes, let's get it like let's start it out just
because we didn't get into it Tuesday. I'm gonna do
a Fantasy Football Sports K Live recap.

Speaker 2 (01:14:56):
Okay, I'm gonna start sending you the run sheet again
because I have that in lightning. Okay, Okay, So we'll
start it as we customarily start it with col notes
Cowboys three and a half point dogs on the road
at Denver. Not going to spend a whole lot of time.
I mean, this is you've nailed it perfectly. Like just

(01:15:18):
when you get high, they're gonna embarrass you.

Speaker 3 (01:15:21):
Who is who is uh cert gonna cover you think
he's gonna cover Pickens and leave Lamb out?

Speaker 2 (01:15:27):
I would have to.

Speaker 3 (01:15:29):
Let Lamb eat in nobody else?

Speaker 2 (01:15:30):
Does Vance Joseph, who's back as their defensive coordinator. Does
he rotate? Does he flip sides? Will he have like
does certain follow a guy or does he have one
side of the.

Speaker 3 (01:15:41):
Field Richard Sherman style?

Speaker 2 (01:15:43):
Yeah, exactly, I wouldn't. I'd have to look because I
don't know off top of my head. Didn't do that
as well. Yeah, with that revis Island, it's just following
everybody the right side is his size? Speaking of Vance Joseph,
So Denver has thirty four sacks this year already, and
if when you do the math quickly in your head,
you'll realize it's almost five sacks a game. It's four

(01:16:06):
and a half a game on average. They lead the league.
So I am by our wide knicks and defense. As
you show and I hear the whoever they're tight end
is will have a big day. You can pretty much
guarantee whatever tight end goes up against Dallas, although I
do question, you know, as we talked about Tuesday, just

(01:16:26):
the massive you know, the Cowboys went from being a
team that was running zone ninety seven percent of the time. Yeah,
through six weeks to all of a sudden, it was
a forty eight fifty zone forty eight percent man split
last week against Washington. So yeah, I quite I wonder
what what defense are we going to see?

Speaker 3 (01:16:50):
Bow knicks a threat enough to do the same scheme
as a runner. I I want to say, yeah, but
I think leaning towards they're going to go back to
more zone.

Speaker 2 (01:17:05):
I kind of think I feel like the I feel
like they might, if anything, overcorrect to show that we're
like oh no, no, no, we're unpredictable. We're now we're
gonna we only did that time. Yeah, exactly, something ridiculous,
something Stupid's gonna cook him exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:17:27):
That's again you sit Trevor Trayvon Diggs again.

Speaker 2 (01:17:33):
So still no update. He's still in concussion protocol. And
Jerry on his radio shows this.

Speaker 3 (01:17:40):
Week, metal Jacket to him just when he's sleeping.

Speaker 2 (01:17:43):
Just Jerry. Jerry said he's heard the story from Trayvon's side,
his perspective of what happened. And Jerry claims, you know,
like I'm I'm satisfied. We're moving on. You know, it
is what it is. But he's as far as I know,
he didn't He didn't practice yesterday and I don't think

(01:18:06):
he practiced today. So it looks like it's gonna be.
I'm telling you, I think he's going to be better.
He might have played his last game as a cowboy.
I think there is a scenario where that contract still too,
but they can get out of it after this year.
There won't be the dead money anchor after this year.
If they were to actually cut him or trade him

(01:18:28):
in season, then they'd have to take a hit. But
that's why it feels like it might be. Why don't
you go on injured reserve for your little concussion and
miss the rest of the year. We're we're good without you.
The other injury news, though, it looks like they will
finally have their full five starting offensive linemen back together.

(01:18:51):
Cooper Bebe is on track to return at center for
the game Sunday, so that would be there. They're playing
a I want to say top five defense.

Speaker 3 (01:19:02):
I think they're like four and like a lot of stats,
but that's only because they had a slow start. Yeah,
I still think this is the best defense in the league.

Speaker 2 (01:19:11):
I don't disagree, you know, and especially with Vance Joseph
and calling it. Yeah, and let's see what happens when
Dak has to have happy feet, you know, and we're
gonna see it. I mean, there's no question we're going
to see even if.

Speaker 3 (01:19:23):
Scott he's gonna have to like call like planned rollouts,
like if he's a smart person, yeah, he'd better have
Dak rolling out fifty time on passes.

Speaker 2 (01:19:33):
You know. Even if the offensive line has a good
day against that defensive front, a good day still means
only allowing three sacks instead of five exactly. You know,
like we're still going to see they're going to get to.

Speaker 3 (01:19:48):
Dak is a madman in the safety. Now you said it,
green Laws side to side speed is ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (01:19:56):
Let's see Dak against Well. Green Law is suspended.

Speaker 3 (01:19:59):
Is he spent?

Speaker 2 (01:20:00):
I thought he was spending last game, unless it was
he got it was at the end of the last
week's game. I think he was appealing. I didn't see
I hadn't.

Speaker 3 (01:20:10):
I think he is suspended. I think I thought he
was that he served suspension last game.

Speaker 2 (01:20:15):
Yeah, you mentioned though, the seeing Dak throw, uh you know,
with someone in his face. He has statistically been the
best quarterback in the NFL this year under pressure, under
what is defined as you know, a defensive pressure situation.

Speaker 3 (01:20:29):
He's getting it off just in time in the pocket,
is exactly still in the pocket.

Speaker 2 (01:20:33):
Suspension upheld, He's Drake. Green Law is out that y'all
look that helps? That certainly helps. Uh we I think
we mentioned it tuesday, the rumors of a potential Max
Crosby trade.

Speaker 3 (01:20:49):
Yeah we got Lonnie, thanks for the super chat. He
wants some Max Crosby an a s U fan who
gave us another two dollars for that win.

Speaker 2 (01:20:56):
Yeah, y'all keep seeping.

Speaker 3 (01:20:58):
You got you know, hopeing one hand and poop in
the other and see which one feels first.

Speaker 2 (01:21:01):
And I don't think, good god they take that for analysis.
The Max Crosby thing looks like it's dead on arrival,
as we kind of said on Tuesday. But if they
do make any kind of deal, I don't think it'll
I don't think it'll be for someone of that level.
I think it would be more complimentary defensive end.

Speaker 3 (01:21:25):
Why would you not get your try to get another
franchise d in through the draft, Because if you really
think this season is going to be a season that
you can run the table and make it to make
it to the playoffs and make a miracle run, y'all
are dreaming. Man, you give up thirty plus points a game, dud.

Speaker 2 (01:21:43):
Yeah, Max Crosby helps, but it doesn't change It.

Speaker 3 (01:21:46):
Doesn't change your linebackers, it doesn't change your secondary safety,
like doesn't change your scheme.

Speaker 2 (01:21:52):
But something that will help potentially more than any trade
they actually do by the deadline, the fact that the
Marvin Overshown and Van Revel are both back practicing. Revel,
you'll remember, was the number two cornerback on a lot
of people's big boards until he had the late season

(01:22:13):
injury at East Carolina. He was expected to be a
top twenty, maybe even closer to top fifteen pick in
the draft until the injury. Yeah, And so you're getting
him practicing now for the first time, opening his twenty
one day window, and Overshown practicing. Both of them look
to be on pace to be back for that Monday

(01:22:33):
night game against the Raiders, which would ironically be that's
the day right after the day right before the trade deadline.
So like, I think you're basically I think your trade
deadline moves are getting overshown in Revel onto the field
for the first time this season. Yeah, I think that
has way more likelihood of making the defense an average

(01:22:56):
unit at best than any moves they do, yeah, trade wise.

Speaker 3 (01:23:00):
And I mean there's so many other like even the
like you know, the Niners are looking for defensive end
because both is out. You know, you got Cam Jordan,
you got you know, I always forget his name out
in Miami.

Speaker 2 (01:23:12):
Uh. We were talking about it on Tuesday when we
were talking about potential trade.

Speaker 3 (01:23:17):
Anyway that that edge Russer out of Miami. There's a
couple other good ones out there. Is Houston gonna give
up Alce this year.

Speaker 2 (01:23:26):
You know, Alha might be Bradley Chubb is who Shazier
might be, might have. He might be sidelining himself soon.
He's already got three final ble hits this season, and
that's like the threshold before another suspension comes down. He's
a madman, is what he is. And we're actually going

(01:23:47):
to talk about him here next because you're Niners taking
on the Texans in a surprising game in how Vegas
views it. But as always, we start our weekly with
the Cowboy game. Yes, and I say when I wrote
so we go by when I wrote the run sheet,

(01:24:09):
that's how we lock in our three and a half points,
three and a half.

Speaker 3 (01:24:15):
Dallas plus three and a half.

Speaker 2 (01:24:16):
Dallas gets three and a half points. This is also
the it's still three and a half as we sit
here right now. This is also the three to twenty
five CBS game, so it means you get freaking tones,
ROMs and Nance. I know it's gonna be brutal. I
would almost rather hear bro Hard and Brady.

Speaker 3 (01:24:33):
I'm on the Red Zone, so I'm listening to old
buddy from Red Zone.

Speaker 2 (01:24:38):
I might have to dial up Brad Sham and Babelfenberg
get the local broadcast of the radio broadcast AH three
and a half point dogs.

Speaker 3 (01:24:48):
Denver's riding high, man, They're riding high with that win
of the Giants.

Speaker 2 (01:24:54):
Their defense is that good? Is it? It gave up
thirty two to the Giant and it's missing Dre greenlaw.

Speaker 1 (01:25:05):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:25:05):
Yeah, you make a good point. Did your team you
want to go first or what I'll go first? Yeah?
If the Giants can cover three and a half, I
think the Cowboys can do it.

Speaker 3 (01:25:18):
So you're picking the Cowboys. I'm I feel I.

Speaker 2 (01:25:20):
Feel like the Cowboys in Brandon Aubrey might set the
NFL field goal record. He might kick a seventy yarder
seventy five yard who knows uh. And if it comes
down to if you're telling me I get a field
goal plus a half, that's crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:25:37):
I would expect that would have been like plus one
and a half or plus two and a half with
green Law out.

Speaker 2 (01:25:41):
So at the end of the day, Denver is five
and two. Yeah, so you're locking out, You're you're locking
in with Cowboys. I'm riding I'm riding with my with
my the Dallas fandom that I will still because I
know a lot of y'all you'll route for that Dallas team,

(01:26:01):
But give me hell about my the fact I rooted
for the MAVs as a kid. Yeah, three and a
half points. With this doubt, with this Dallas offense, I
trust them to cover or I trust them to keep
games close. Because of the offense, I think.

Speaker 3 (01:26:17):
I'm gonna have to go with Denver. This might be
one where I finally get that one on you. I'm
going with Denver. We'll make it interesting, and I might
go to Slackers one thousand Oaks, where a huge dittenverg
crowd likes to gather and are very annoying because one
guy uses a speaker.

Speaker 2 (01:26:34):
If you, if you don't have the voice to carry
a room, don't what's the speaker? What's he doing announcements? Yeah? Well, hold, okay, hold, okay,
we have to we have to further into Okay, let me.
I want to get the visual perfectly right. So it's
like a little a little rolling speaker that he has

(01:26:55):
a microphone a microphone? Is it a micro is it
a full head? My? Okay, So he's got the night
so it's not Lawrence would hate it. And it's a
it's at a bar, so there's obviously other people there
that aren't rooting for the Broncos expect that.

Speaker 3 (01:27:11):
This is why, Like I want to go there, Cowboy fan,
and then the Broncos fans are going to be annoying
because that's stupid.

Speaker 2 (01:27:16):
Okay, everybody hates that speaker idea. Yeah, no, idea is
a bad idea. I bet we've got a bigger speaker
than he does. Hey, what you're doing, Sunday Lawrence? Every
time he's a big, big third down here, Broncos fans
will just immediately like, but we'll make it bigger Cowboy fans.

(01:27:36):
Oh man, I will talk.

Speaker 3 (01:27:38):
I will talk to.

Speaker 2 (01:27:41):
Does the bar? Is the bar allow it because it's
like an official Broncos viewing.

Speaker 3 (01:27:45):
Party, Like because they they come in, they come deep,
and they spend a lot of money.

Speaker 2 (01:27:50):
Yeah, that makes sense, so they let them. But you know,
also spends a lot of money Cowboy fans in San Antonio. Yeah,
so this one's gonna be good.

Speaker 3 (01:27:58):
Like I'm wondering you dead, I will break I wanted
the over under on how many fights? I got it
one and a half.

Speaker 2 (01:28:03):
Oh, give me the over, brother, give me the over,
and I'm running to the bank. Now I've already mentally
spent that money.

Speaker 3 (01:28:11):
You know, give me the over. If the Cowboys lose.
If they're losing, give me the over. If they give
me the double the over. If they win, then it's
even more. Then it's high. T ready to go.

Speaker 2 (01:28:22):
Let's get it, buddy. I'm gonna like, I'm gonna tell
my friend to give me the security camera. Uh feed.
I'm just saying, I bet, I bet we could have
a louder speaker than them if if we wanted to,
I would be willing to break my role. I'm gonna
watch a Cowboy game in public back to back weeks.

Speaker 3 (01:28:41):
I'm gonna ask. I'm gonna ask around. We will let
you know sports k and how this is. We're gonna
have footage for you or not.

Speaker 2 (01:28:47):
You see, it'd be great if we roll deep as
a sports cave. Cowboy.

Speaker 3 (01:28:52):
Yeah, show up, we'll put out if if we're going
to bring a speaker out there, we will put out
something on ig to know that will be at Slackers
thousand Oaks. It's right off a thousand oaks into any
one and we will be out there.

Speaker 2 (01:29:07):
And God, I'm just imagining the due you're gonna have
to do.

Speaker 3 (01:29:10):
You're gonna have to roll with the speaker because I
can't be I'm not going.

Speaker 2 (01:29:17):
You think you think this guy has the ability to
troll a fan from an opposing team, I might have to.

Speaker 3 (01:29:24):
Root for him just because I can't stand them.

Speaker 2 (01:29:27):
I'm like Baine, like I was raised in that world.
I was carved, I was formed by by that world.
Uh yeah, So I'll take Dallas plus the points. You'll
take Denver to cover the three and a half. You
want to do Niners next Niners.

Speaker 3 (01:29:43):
I'm gonna slurp up all that Niners, Jay Hernandez.

Speaker 2 (01:29:47):
You know who's not slurping it. The boy is in
the desert. Oh, they're there, They're down this again. Take
a guess on this line. Don't tell me san fran
plus two and a half. It's pretty close.

Speaker 3 (01:30:03):
Three and a half, one and a half, one and
a half. I'm always one on.

Speaker 2 (01:30:06):
You're always one.

Speaker 3 (01:30:07):
Yeah, I always tax one more.

Speaker 2 (01:30:09):
Texans are one and a half point favorite at home
over Why tell me, tell me? Why tell me why
Vegas is saying your Niners are in a road dog
against the two and four team.

Speaker 3 (01:30:22):
I have no idea, Like if you want to make
a bet like the eight and a half, point against
La going to the Rams.

Speaker 2 (01:30:30):
It's it's it's it's been bet up to two and
a half now, it was one and a half this
afternoon when I made it.

Speaker 3 (01:30:36):
It's go make your money, like we're only getting healthier.
Oh like, oh, are one of our defensive edge russers
huff that we got from the Eagles. He's got a hammy?
So next man up. But guess what we've been doing
that all freaking year. You know what I know?

Speaker 2 (01:30:53):
It's Mac Jones again, right, parties parties limited in practice. Okay,
so but I might be Mac, but at least Mac
is healthy, So there's no question of like Mac is
four and one. That's what I'm saying, because what else
is causing? What else is moving this line?

Speaker 3 (01:31:10):
Because they're like they have to come back down to
earth at some point. Vegas, you are blowing it, man, Yeah,
give me. This ain't gonna be a quick This is
gonna be a quick one for all you like Niners haters.
I'm only give it to you, give me the Niners. Yeah,
there's nothing to say. That's why I figured we're gonna
put pressure on Stroud. Like our Bethune, who's.

Speaker 2 (01:31:32):
Playing receiver for the Tuxans. They've their top receivers are
out to Dustin Schultz. It's gonna be Dalton Dalton uh Noel,
the former Iowa state kid. He's been talking about getting well.
Because it's a twelve o'clock game. We have to wake
up earlier, and the travel from Santa Clara to Houston.

Speaker 3 (01:31:54):
That travel will like have a dozen times.

Speaker 2 (01:31:56):
Yeah, I don't. Three hours, I didn't. I didn't get
the line get a stop in Utah. I didn't get
the line. When I read it and wrote it down
this morning, I thought you might have injury news that
I was missing or some kind of inside.

Speaker 3 (01:32:11):
Kittle is healthy, he's he showed you what he can do.
You don't think they're going to give him the ball
and run guaranteed six to seven plays for Kittle. McCaffrey
is a coming office.

Speaker 2 (01:32:26):
I mean, yeah, you know McCaffrey, I don't get it's
on pace to break the receptions record, which he set
at one seventeen.

Speaker 3 (01:32:34):
He's on pace for one twenty nine, and he's on.

Speaker 2 (01:32:37):
Pace to beat the reception yards record held by Marshall
Fop Hall of Famer, which is one oh like one thousand,
nine hundred, like one thousand and ninety eight. He's on
pace for twelve hundred and fifty seven or something like that.
So we're gonna go by what I wrote earlier, Yeah,
because that's normally what we've been doing. But we're both

(01:32:59):
taking the Niners here, so it's not gonna matter. I don't,
I don't. I just I don't get it. I don't
see it. I don't see it whatsoever.

Speaker 3 (01:33:07):
The Texans had a resurgence, when when did they have
the research?

Speaker 2 (01:33:10):
Not last week in Seattle? Not Monday. Also, Texans on
a short week, they played late, like the late game
nine o'clock Texas time, and on Monday night football in
the furthest Pacific Northwest.

Speaker 3 (01:33:24):
And they got NFL team. They're beat up, Like yeah,
it's like you go into Seattle. They got a good defense,
so they're not I mean, they're beat up. It's like
the Niners. When you play the Niners, you lose the
next game because you're beat up.

Speaker 2 (01:33:35):
Yeah. I again, I rowed the most sacked quarterback in
the league. I don't get that.

Speaker 3 (01:33:41):
Whatso what's up?

Speaker 2 (01:33:45):
I'm glad. I'm glad there wasn't anything I was missing,
at least not obvious, because yeah, I agree with you.
That's Niners all day. The I said, it's kind of
a bad week of football. So the NFL, there's six
teams on by so the contenders that are on by

(01:34:05):
the Lions and Rams, the playoff teams that are on
by Seahawks and Jags, and then the ass teams on
by Cardinals Raiders. So you've got we had four categories. Yeah,
we skipped fringe because Cards and Raiders are neither fringe.
They're straight to ask.

Speaker 3 (01:34:25):
I was about to say. I was like, we got
to put who do you have in the playoffs?

Speaker 2 (01:34:31):
Seahawks Jags about to go in there sliding to the fringe.

Speaker 3 (01:34:35):
I think they're already in the fringe.

Speaker 2 (01:34:37):
I think they're technically, as we sit here, still the
last playoff team.

Speaker 3 (01:34:42):
Because they got the weakest division. Yeah, this.

Speaker 2 (01:34:47):
Was it. Then it's they, it's they have the team
with the best record in the NFL in their division.
But outside of that, it's Titans and Texans. Titans and Texans, Jags,
Colts Titans. Yeah, yeah, I was thinking NFC for something. Yeah,
the Jags are officially still the last playoff team in
the AFC right now.

Speaker 3 (01:35:07):
Yeah, so who's playing in the contender category this week, so.

Speaker 2 (01:35:13):
Probably the best pound for pound game features one contender
team and one playoff team, Packers at Steelers. Oh, I
am up for this game.

Speaker 3 (01:35:28):
Traditional I know because it's Rogers playing Green Bay.

Speaker 2 (01:35:34):
When his team he's not in an absolute horrid team
of like also Sunday Night Football, which makes it like
I had a problem.

Speaker 3 (01:35:46):
Hit me hit up on the chat.

Speaker 2 (01:35:49):
I have Rogers? Do I start Rogers? We've reached the
fantasy football chat advice because we're talked about this game,
and I was like, man, do I go with Rockers? Like,
let me see. Asking the chat is the equivalent of
asking chat GPT to make your picks for you. You
just got to make the decision on your own and

(01:36:10):
roll with always circumstances. I'm gonna go roll with the outcome.

Speaker 3 (01:36:14):
Oh I did well. I did pick Aaron picked Aaron
Rodgers over uh, because I had Jane Daniels. I think
it was who did I?

Speaker 2 (01:36:27):
Who did I drop?

Speaker 3 (01:36:28):
I dropped his? Dropped his?

Speaker 2 (01:36:29):
As we are now hearing caps most recent transactions from
It was All Today, one of the eleven Fantasy leagues
nine nine.

Speaker 3 (01:36:42):
My apologies to the so I'm thinking Aaron Rodgers revenge game.
He he's gonna be up for this, even though he
got mad at his offensive line and for halfway play tackling.

Speaker 2 (01:36:54):
He's like, we don't do the Equipp's game. Aaron Rodgers
is insufferable, but at the same time, I want to
know his ayahuasca guy like I I also like, I
also kind of think that Aaron Rodgers is a guy.
I feel like Aaron Rodgers is a guy I would
probably actually enjoy doing drugs with and just hearing him

(01:37:16):
lay out every conspiracy he believes in May.

Speaker 3 (01:37:19):
He would ruin my trip.

Speaker 2 (01:37:20):
No, I think, I see, I think who brought this guy? Well,
who brought this hell? We finally broke, finally broke a mark,
that violation crap F bomb. No, I'm saying like, unfortunately,

(01:37:43):
that might mean I'm the Aaron Rodgers anytime I'm around you.
I hope I hope that uh two and a half
point favorite for the Packers on the road in Pittsburgh.
This is clearly this is the best match up.

Speaker 3 (01:37:59):
Yeah, this is something we got pick.

Speaker 2 (01:38:00):
Yeah, this will definitely be You want to hear some
other contenders while we think about this one again. I'm
stretching here because it's not a good schedule, and it
might be a good week to have LG and even
we can call the roommate in to pick a number. Yes, really,
these are the only other two games that even feature

(01:38:22):
teams with winning records playing each other. But it's that bad.

Speaker 3 (01:38:26):
So this is this is the bye This is bye
week madness exactly for everybody's fantasy team.

Speaker 2 (01:38:32):
The Monday night game Commanders at Chiefs, but it sucks
now because Jade Daniels is out. It's Mount Mariota only
other one.

Speaker 3 (01:38:44):
I remember when they said he's the best backup in
the league.

Speaker 2 (01:38:47):
That still might be true, but again it's like comparing
like the hottest Baptist girl.

Speaker 3 (01:38:53):
I'm trying to look up the games and I just
saw that it's not good. The thunder and a double
overtime once again.

Speaker 2 (01:38:58):
Oh nice with in the and a noo. Halliburton, the
only other game that features winning teams is not enticing whatsoever,
but it does include one contender and one fringe team,
Bill's at Panthers, Bill's seven and a half point favorite.
These are oh yeah, after a Josh Allen loss from

(01:39:21):
the the Falcons that the Niners just just on primetime,
The Bills are going to destroy them. Yeah, Josh Allen's
gonna come out hot, and you might think I'm exaggerating.
And Kincaid.

Speaker 3 (01:39:34):
Kincaid is going to play, and that's been his favorite receiver.

Speaker 2 (01:39:37):
Yeah, I mean, I think we're going to see take
the over in that game as well, just off Buffalo.

Speaker 3 (01:39:42):
I don't want to pick that game.

Speaker 2 (01:39:43):
So Dolphins at Falcons, Jets at Bengals, Browns at Patriots,
off the top, Eagles, Giants is at least divisional. I
like that game, Bears, Ravens, Bucks, Saints, Titans, Colts. I mean,
every one of these is a one in six team

(01:40:03):
versus a playoff team or oh and seven in the
Jets case.

Speaker 3 (01:40:07):
So the ones we're gonna pick, the two that we're
gonna pick are going to be obviously the Pittsburgh and
Packer Steelers. Packer Steelers, okay, and then I'll Giants Eagles Okay,
I'm in on that. You could keep it on the
NFC East, and then we're gonna have.

Speaker 2 (01:40:24):
That's a big number too though it's Philly minus seven
and a half.

Speaker 3 (01:40:29):
I know, I know they don't believe in Scattaboo and
Darna anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:40:33):
Well, they and they believe more in Philly than they
do San Fran, like giving Philly seven and a half
point favor.

Speaker 3 (01:40:42):
If I don't bet, I don't like, I don't go
to like that's like I know, if I do it,
I'm gonna keep doing it. You know, I played poker enough,
you know, shout out to Sa Cardouse, good place to go.

Speaker 2 (01:40:55):
We'll talk more about that. I do here. I do
hear the amenities are nine.

Speaker 3 (01:41:00):
Yes, yeah, I don't want to start bending. But like
when you give me easy ones like eight and a
half points going to Levi South with our whipping boy, like,
and then you give me two and a half points
or two and a half points against the two and
five team, like, what.

Speaker 2 (01:41:18):
Are you doing? Doesn't make a whole lot of sway back.

Speaker 3 (01:41:22):
So those are the two games are gonna go roll with.
And people will have LG pick a number for the roommate.
Pick for the fifth one. We call her sports roommate.

Speaker 2 (01:41:32):
Uh. She she might be locked into. She's got she's
really enjoying what she can tell you all about it.
She's enjoying. Trust me. I got to hear plenty about
it while I was trying to watch the MAVs Spurs
season opener last night.

Speaker 3 (01:41:49):
Are you Are you learning the fine art of tuning
people out?

Speaker 2 (01:41:52):
No, I'm learning the fine art of being a supportive partner. Listening,
listening with my eyes.

Speaker 3 (01:42:01):
I just repeat the last thing they said.

Speaker 2 (01:42:03):
Yeah, that doesn't work with that doesn't work with this one. Yeah,
it doesn't work with this one. All right, So Packer Steelers,
let's start there.

Speaker 3 (01:42:10):
So what was it?

Speaker 2 (01:42:11):
Three and a half, two and a half, two and
a half. I'll go first if you want me to,
because I feel pretty confident in this.

Speaker 3 (01:42:18):
Christian Watson says he's gonna play this game.

Speaker 2 (01:42:23):
And that used to be. I know.

Speaker 3 (01:42:25):
We have Golden and his favorite target, mister bighead Romeo Dobbs.

Speaker 2 (01:42:32):
The bobblehead dogs sing the scene. What do they call those?

Speaker 3 (01:42:36):
The like come on man like guys trying not to
get ancussion helmets or whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:42:41):
No, but.

Speaker 3 (01:42:44):
Christian Watson and the other deep threat is coming back.
But for some reason, Man Rogers is just so Tom Petty.
I think he's gonna have a game. And the defense
on the Pittsburgh is they're not like I mean, Green
Bay's been reeling, you know, they haven't been blowing teams

(01:43:05):
out like they did in the beginning.

Speaker 2 (01:43:07):
Nope, but we did see Micah get four sacks, only
three of them counting last week. I did, even though
I cursed them out. I'm gonna go with aa Ron
put me down for the Steelers. Final answer, Final answer.
We are split on two of the three we have

(01:43:30):
picked so far, because I think I think the Packers.
I think the Packers go into that game and win.
If you're telling me only a field goal, and are
they going to Lambeau or are they going No, it's in,
it's at Hines. It's yeah, So like Pittsburgh, I like that.
I like that.

Speaker 3 (01:43:47):
Yeah, go and get me aa Ron and OSU's Jalen
Moore And even though I don't need them to score
because I'm going against him in about two fantasy leagues.

Speaker 2 (01:43:55):
So it's kind of funny. So we're split. The only
game we agree on so far as the Niners, but
the other games that we've disagreed, the you know, I
get Dallas with the three and a half, so the
half on the other side of the hook, this one,
you get two and a half. Yeah, that those half
points might be the difference in both of those games.

(01:44:18):
And then the other one. You said, we want to
lock in Giants at Eagles in the link Eagles seven
and a half point favorites. Who do you got, LG? Oh, yeah,
I always forget LG is Eagles fan.

Speaker 3 (01:44:33):
LG. Who do you like in this game?

Speaker 2 (01:44:37):
Who do you think?

Speaker 3 (01:44:38):
Yeah, figures you think you're going to cover seven and
a half points. Of course, even with aj Brown's cryptic
message of they're using me, but they're not using me.

Speaker 2 (01:44:49):
Wide receivers and their cryptic messages, it's one of the greatest.
It's one of the greatest storylines and the modern day football.
They had such their passing game was stellar last week.
Still haven't got the running game back. I think they
d not even on pace for a thousand yards. No,
it's but that's just not being on pace. It's it's

(01:45:13):
so far below average even Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:45:16):
I heard, I heard a good analysis where they were
expecting to pass so much last year they ran it
down their throats with Saquon and now the fact that Saquon,
you know, obviously got Offensive Player of the Year and
had TM like like an historic year, they're just they're

(01:45:36):
blocking the run and saying beat me in the pass game.

Speaker 2 (01:45:39):
Yeah, So it's the complete opposite. And I know they
have to go team by team to do this, but
seven and a half, right, and the pass game was
really good last week, but it was still only a
six point win over this Vikings team that we're seeing
down three touchdowns right now to the Chargers. Yeah, I mean, Carson,

(01:46:00):
the Chargers have been beat by the Giants, so it's
all I mean, I know the relativity points comparison there
doesn't mean anything, but it is just it's kind of
funny how they.

Speaker 3 (01:46:12):
All dominated Denver and they still put up thirty plus
points on Denver.

Speaker 2 (01:46:19):
Yep, thirty two should have been thirty three if they
had a kicker that could make an extra point.

Speaker 3 (01:46:24):
Yeah, the horrible kicker.

Speaker 2 (01:46:26):
This feels this feels like a pretty obvious pick to me. Giants. Yeah,
I think Giants seven and a half divisional game, you
gotta get more than a touchdown, like, come on, man, Yeah,
I don't see. I don't see a NFC, especially now
that we see how all of the NFC East is

(01:46:46):
starting to look like there's not much separation between Washington,
New York, and Dallas. Yeah, and the separation between the
three of them and the Eagles, I think is way
closer than the way we thought it was, how we
felt at the beginning of the season. Yeah, I think
the Eagles are a bit of a fraudulent five and two.
They win this game, but not by more than a touchdown.

Speaker 3 (01:47:09):
They've only two times, are like, only one time they
given up they stopped a team from scoring over twenty points.
So for seven and a half, and your defense isn't
shut down a shut down d that's just too much points.
That's too many points. So yeah, I'm going with Giants.

Speaker 2 (01:47:32):
Yeah, it feels like.

Speaker 3 (01:47:33):
Giants with the points, even though I think the Eagles
squeak it out.

Speaker 2 (01:47:36):
Yeah, I think that is. I think that is probably
the probably the smarter player, which means the Giants probably
get blown out by four touchdowns and Brian day Ball
gets fired before they leave, before they leave Philadelphia. Oh scataboo.
So that lead under concussions, That leads and a half

(01:47:57):
one more game needing to be picked. Is she locked in?
I don't know the roommate locked in? I texted, I
texted the hotline to see if miss Cleo could read
my future and give us one more game to pick.
She might be asleep as she might be until further notice, LG,

(01:48:19):
you want to pick pick a number one through Let's see,
six teams are on by, so that means three one
through thirteen can't be.

Speaker 3 (01:48:29):
We'll pick a number and we'll just tell you pick
a game.

Speaker 2 (01:48:31):
Can't be one, nine, nine, all right, So let's work
backwards thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten on with numbers. Okay, this
is kind of fun. This is another divisional matchup. Oh
I like that five and two Buccaneers traveling to New
Orleans taking on the one in six Saints. But the

(01:48:53):
Saints that have been plucky.

Speaker 3 (01:48:57):
Ratler's putting up points man like I haven't in my
in my superflex fantasy league, which means you get to
start two quarterbacks. I've been having to use Rattler instead
of Party as my second QB. And he's putting up
a solid seventeen to twenty two twenty three points a week.
So Vegas would tell you Chris Olave had himself a

(01:49:20):
game last week.

Speaker 2 (01:49:21):
Vegas would tell you they respect the Eagles way more
than they respect the Buccaneers. Both five and two teams
this spread. Tampa Bay four and a half, nailed it.
Tampa Bay on the road four and a half point.

Speaker 3 (01:49:37):
Mike Evans, yep, no, Godwin, Ye got Abuka, Kate Odden.

Speaker 2 (01:49:42):
Abuka had some big catches, but that one that was
just a millimeter. The Dan Campbell challenge flag, Oh god,
I love my boy Dan.

Speaker 3 (01:49:52):
Never if it was if it was Kelsey, that would
have been a catch.

Speaker 2 (01:49:55):
But well, if they gave him the catch, they just
ruled him a millimeter short of the first down. That's ridiculous.
I don't know how they determine exactly location of the
ball on that.

Speaker 3 (01:50:07):
To begin with, Baker Baker was questionable, but now he's healthy,
he's good.

Speaker 2 (01:50:12):
He's good to go.

Speaker 3 (01:50:13):
Baker's gonna bake h Are they playing in Tampa? Are
they playing in New York? In the super Dome in
New Orleans? I mean, and they're one in five, right.

Speaker 2 (01:50:26):
That's correct? I believe actually one in six, yeah, six
one and six bucks coming off that loss to the Lions.

Speaker 3 (01:50:34):
Let this be a game where it's like, wow, how
did they lose? The Bucks in The Saints hate each other. Yep,
they hate each other. M But four and a half points.
If it was a seven and a half points, I
might have gone Saint.

Speaker 2 (01:50:53):
I agree. I think that I gotta go with Bucks. Yeah,
I think the Bucks. I saw the Saints lose to
the Bears by two touchdowns at home last week.

Speaker 3 (01:51:01):
I think it's gonna be an upset. I feel I'll
give it a coin flip upset, but.

Speaker 2 (01:51:08):
Not like I needed, but as in, like the Saints
actually win. I think the Saints win by like a
like a field goal. Well, then that would be that's
not four and a half points. But you're getting if
they If the Saints win by a field goal, then
oh no, I mean I I think the bus. I
think the Bucks win by a field goal. Yeah, and
not cover. Yeah, well lock it in one way or another.

(01:51:29):
I am going Bucks to cover.

Speaker 3 (01:51:33):
Yeah, I gotta play it. Say we got two on
this one. I'm gonna leapfrog you. Yeah, gotta give me
the Bucks taking the Bucks. Okay, got to respect the
team to beat us. So on the say, I mean
that in the.

Speaker 2 (01:51:47):
Royal US we have universal of us, we have we've
picked twenty five games total so far. I'm thirteen and twelve,
You're twelve and thirteen. Like we're right there, almost identical.
We are picking even though I had some you know,
I should be up by like four. That's not how

(01:52:09):
gambling works. I mean you could the Red should have
won the eighty six World Series? What are you just like?
I will break my own TV in here. I would Actually,
I've never seen that. I always see the videos of
Cowboy fans breaking their TV. I believe it. I actually
believe it. That's not shocking.

Speaker 3 (01:52:29):
Literally punched it and walked out the house of the
super Bowl.

Speaker 5 (01:52:31):
We've picked.

Speaker 2 (01:52:32):
Guess what super Bowl three? Uh? Well, the Chiefs one.

Speaker 3 (01:52:38):
No Baltimore?

Speaker 2 (01:52:40):
Oh oh yeah, okay when when?

Speaker 3 (01:52:44):
Because did that forty five minutes? I got more sauce.

Speaker 2 (01:52:46):
Yeah, I forget kind of forgot about that Super Bowl,
to be honest, You forget about ray Lewis going off
in a shade of glory and then the pass interference
called not called by when Crowtree gets dragged down in
the end zone on the last shade of glory of having.

Speaker 3 (01:53:03):
Sweet Cat before he knelt and just destroyed everybody's mind.

Speaker 2 (01:53:07):
Having capital murder charges turned into uh effect, playing with evidence,
tampering with evidence. Yeah, so we picked three of the
games identically. We have our only splits being I took
the Packers, you took the Steelers that Sunday Night football,
and then uh no, that's it. The Cowboys, Cowboys, Cowboys

(01:53:27):
in and the Broncos, and we will let you know
about if we can bring it speaker. And that's the
only way I'm doing it, So I'm not going there
listening to them. No, that's the only way we can
control them. That's the only way to control them. That's
the only way I'm going That's the only thing that
would make it worth it. Before we do lightning around
real quick, let's see, did we miss any super chats?

Speaker 3 (01:53:47):
I know, yes, Royce, thanks for the super supertat, he says,
time to discuss uh golts in yet? Oh no, the
firing is that? Is that the Dallas Stars coach?

Speaker 2 (01:53:57):
Yeah, that's the star. I'll still not one unless they
are winning, as brought it up. Oh buddy, no, buddy,
it's losing again two to one. Tonight's going into the
third period. Yeah. The the reports of gullets and being
the savior after three games might have been premature, but

(01:54:21):
I think the reports of firing Gully after six games
are also potentially premature.

Speaker 3 (01:54:28):
Y'all get in the playoffs with like only thirty five forty.

Speaker 2 (01:54:32):
Wins, you know well, And the thing about hockey two
is you got the ties. It doesn't really like there's
an argument to be made the way they the way
the NHL Hockey, the way they line up the teams
in the playoff bracket. Yeah, like the teams that won
their division last year ended up having the mathematically the

(01:54:54):
hardest path. Yeah, to the finals. They had to play
the teams with the higher win percent because they well,
and the way they line it up is.

Speaker 3 (01:55:03):
Wait a minute, So it's not like one se versus
eight seed exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:55:06):
It's not at all.

Speaker 3 (01:55:06):
That's weird.

Speaker 2 (01:55:07):
So because they preserve the tradition and heritage of their divisions,
So if you win your division, you're a one seed.
If you win your division, you're like a co one seed.

Speaker 3 (01:55:17):
So it's sort of like baseball, where like if the
six exactly exactly and that shouldn't have played Toronto.

Speaker 2 (01:55:25):
Instead of it being one through eight, it's one through
four and then another one through four.

Speaker 3 (01:55:30):
Yeah, we should have played the man.

Speaker 2 (01:55:32):
Very exactly exactly. It's very confusing like that, but it's
in the same way that baseball wants to preserve somebody
means something exactly, but it also means like, again, the
Stars had the one of the best records in the
Western Conference and ended up having to have the hardest
route to eventually lose to the Oilers. But no, we're

(01:55:53):
not firing goalie yet. But thank you, thank you for
the super chat. Royce L. Just do's some lightning round.
I kind of went full around. Now, oh now, let
me do the sports cap. See, I'm going to read
his first what is first? All right?

Speaker 3 (01:56:14):
Just let me know next time. Hey, we're gonna do
that recap and lightning round. But I'm fancy this fancy
football recap of last week for the official sports Cave
Live Fantasy Football League, and let me pull it up.

Speaker 2 (01:56:27):
No, you're not even prepared.

Speaker 3 (01:56:29):
And I was doing all this stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:56:31):
There's a computer in front of you.

Speaker 3 (01:56:34):
I don't even use it on that. I just I
read the chats, make sure I'm in the shot.

Speaker 2 (01:56:42):
Shot. Yeah, a god, the.

Speaker 3 (01:56:46):
Captain do the show the papayas. The Papias try to
cream the captain, but he took that cream and had
him some delicious treats with a one thirty three to
an eighty eight routing.

Speaker 2 (01:56:59):
Papaias cream sounds like a bad eighties R and B band.

Speaker 3 (01:57:03):
Oh man, it sounds delicious.

Speaker 2 (01:57:04):
Man. A little little cream with the papies like Jason's Deli.
You know they give you that little fruit with a
little I do love Jay delis oh Manja has some
other day Dallas his own he man squirrel.

Speaker 3 (01:57:15):
Anyway, King Henry who the hands has lost to Tulsa
State's be fair, Who's having a nice little run one thirteen.

Speaker 2 (01:57:20):
It was a squeaker one thirteen to one oh seven.

Speaker 3 (01:57:23):
The Bush of Adolph beat the wild card out some
out of the first place with a one thirty seven
schlacking over eighty five.

Speaker 2 (01:57:32):
I might have been a bi week health form, but
who knows.

Speaker 3 (01:57:36):
A chairman miaw keeps on rolling, takes over the first
place spot and beats to Brickishon Ferguson, to Brikassas Ferguson.
So you're telling me your first your first overall pick,
Jason Jamar Chase is helping you out.

Speaker 2 (01:57:52):
My expert analysis and roster building has catapulted our team,
my team, but our team back in the first place.

Speaker 3 (01:58:01):
I told I told you to keep this same energy,
keeping energy right now.

Speaker 2 (01:58:05):
When ZEB was going through a two game lose, because
the losses are on Zeb, I'll tell you something. When
Zeb was going through the losing because I know you
haven't looked at this week. I had to step in
and make changes. So continuing the Momentumers are having the
wrong momentum, pulling in last place with the loss one twenty.

Speaker 3 (01:58:22):
Four to the AI Overlords. They are sneaking around that
chatcha to the Capizzle does know a little bit one
four to one O eight.

Speaker 2 (01:58:30):
Oh damn it.

Speaker 3 (01:58:31):
Elis Ubers is just right in front of him, and
James Gangs is rolling. He is hot four game? Is
that a four game win streak?

Speaker 2 (01:58:40):
James Jason Delhi is from Beaumont, not Dallas. Breaking news,
James Delli is a Texas place. I knew that. I
thought it was def w originally anyway, James game one
thirty two to one twenty two.

Speaker 3 (01:58:52):
That was a great game. But this week is the
matchup we've all been waiting.

Speaker 2 (01:58:57):
This is it time.

Speaker 3 (01:58:58):
It is time for the Captain versus the Puma.

Speaker 2 (01:59:04):
Okay, I feel like we might and we have a
Thursday night game and guess what the pick captain picked up? Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:59:10):
Hell, the Chargers stud new rookie fifth round pick tight
end who has now given him.

Speaker 2 (01:59:21):
Let's see eighteen points already, And he picked up off
the waiver wire, one videl from the injury riddled Chargers backfield.

Speaker 3 (01:59:33):
That's given him nineteen points. So right now we're sending
that thirty eight and eleven. I have a fifty eight
percent chance to win, and I'm gonna score one twenty
eight over one nineteen.

Speaker 2 (01:59:47):
Just no, I won't be as lenient as Jerry is
to Eberflus. This is a must win game. This is
a this is bye week for both of y'all still
have Bowers on her on you know, in jury, but
the that's it's also a bye week for you.

Speaker 3 (02:00:03):
So that would have mattered. Charbonnay, I don't know if
you would have started him most likely yes, maybe over Kincaid.

Speaker 2 (02:00:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:00:11):
But you're you're going with the full team while I
got McBride and DeVante Adams on buy. You have the
advantage this week.

Speaker 2 (02:00:22):
Okay, Okay again, and I'm still gonna work that. Those
are two sentences that you might want to space out
next time you describe my posterior that for future reference.
I think that is somehow worse than the F bomb

(02:00:43):
he dropped at Hit Me LG World Series Game one
tomorrow night. Obviously with everything we had on the run sheet.
We didn't have a whole lot of time to do it,
but I wanted to make sure we got our final
predictions on record on tape. How many games are we
going to see? Five? I think I'm afraid that's where

(02:01:06):
I'm in might go six. Toronto gets waged by my
superstat that I hit you with on Tuesday. Where every
time in MLB history when both championship series one has
gone to seven, the other has been a sweep. All
four times that's ever happened, the team that won the
seven game series won the World Series, which would mean Toronto.

Speaker 3 (02:01:27):
I mean Toronto might have Boba Schet come back in
and play. He says he wants to play.

Speaker 2 (02:01:32):
Which would be a defensive liability unless they play him
at d H, which means then they have to play
a banged up Springer in the outfield. And yeah, Dodgers
and five.

Speaker 3 (02:01:42):
Guin me, Dodgers and five And so that means New
York you have to pay the schoolball money for what's
four hundred million for a championship.

Speaker 2 (02:01:51):
I'm just saying, yeah, I don't think Scooble's a Tiger
for much longer. But also I think you're going to
see some big names moving free agency, but unfortunately, probably
like you said, Dodgers, Yankees or Mets. What was it
maybe Giants?

Speaker 3 (02:02:04):
I think I heard there was some not controversy, but
just question marks about the starting pitching to that game.
The someone like who's Jurgensen? Uh is starting?

Speaker 2 (02:02:18):
Oh for Toronto? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:02:20):
Instead of like they're going with but they're going against Snell,
who's been a world beater this year again, so I
think they're saving their their age match up.

Speaker 2 (02:02:29):
What was that Bieber has been.

Speaker 3 (02:02:32):
Biaber or Blowmoreson or whatever. I forget that guy's name.
I don't pay attention to thousand or Bieber. I think Canadians.

Speaker 2 (02:02:41):
It's just such a it's such a one sided matchup
on paper, it's impossible. It's really hard not to say
anything but Dodgers and putting a number on the games.
I fear we're only going to get to see five
more baseball games. But hit me LG. There was a
projection that the Cowboys star wide out George Pickens might

(02:03:04):
sign a four year, one hundred and forty four million
contract extinction.

Speaker 3 (02:03:09):
It just.

Speaker 2 (02:03:11):
Through one of these.

Speaker 3 (02:03:12):
Little Cowboys sides.

Speaker 2 (02:03:13):
But I think that's what he's looking that's not there's
no way that's which will make it the second highest
paid receiver in the league. Yeah, there's no six million.

Speaker 3 (02:03:22):
I think that's what he's looking for.

Speaker 2 (02:03:24):
But there I don't he can be looking for that.
How many NFL teams are going to pay George Pickens
more than Ceed Lamb?

Speaker 3 (02:03:36):
No, Lamb has the most Lambs Chase.

Speaker 2 (02:03:39):
Chase than Jefferson.

Speaker 3 (02:03:41):
Huh well, I mean they're gonna have to.

Speaker 2 (02:03:44):
He's gonna happen like that would put him higher than
justin Jefferson in terms of that. That's not the number. Again,
he can ask for whatever he wants. I think I
think the thirty what did you say that is thirty
six million?

Speaker 3 (02:03:57):
Yeah, he wants thirty say like, oh, he wants over
thirty five.

Speaker 2 (02:04:00):
I think the the thirty number is probably where he's
gonna put his feet in the sand or you know,
not not Budge at all, but you know, thirty million
would make him Tyreek Hill, Brandon Ayuk. Yeah, scary Terry.
Terry McLaurin just signed for twenty nine million. Pickens.

Speaker 3 (02:04:21):
He thinks he's that man. He thinks he's that man.

Speaker 2 (02:04:23):
And depending on how the rest of the season goes.

Speaker 3 (02:04:26):
The trend of what Higgins got and what Jamar got, Like,
do I see Jerry like? Was he like points?

Speaker 2 (02:04:34):
He doesn't. He's not a defensive happy No, he likes
points and guys that sell jerseys and Pickens definitely does that.
He's a good trash hockey to hear miked up. Yeah,
it was great with Kevin Lattimore as they were cooking
Latimore all day. Hit me LG. Do you have anything
else before we get out of here? Uh? No, that's it.
I want to say thanks Solani for the five dollars
sports gambling another distraction for the files. Oh yeah, no doubt.

(02:04:58):
That was again the conspiracy minded. You missed the first
of the show.

Speaker 3 (02:05:03):
We did bring up the old fed fed government taking
all the shine away from Wimby.

Speaker 2 (02:05:09):
Talked a lot about the Uh I do have Uh
I've got a clip for us to close as normal,
But before we do the final clip, a little bit
of local news out of nowhere, Good time Charlie's closed today.
Aw that man forty five years.

Speaker 3 (02:05:27):
The best chicken take in the city.

Speaker 2 (02:05:29):
I would say, not even you know what else was
amazing there. They're chili like just an old fashioned country
bowl of chili, and even more so.

Speaker 3 (02:05:37):
When you order a lot of onions in that crab,
don't you no, no, no no. I was like, it
seems like you eat things that make it so.

Speaker 2 (02:05:44):
If it's like an Alpas store taco onions all day chili,
not a single, not one onion, don't want any. But
if you order the cheese enchiladas at good Time Charlie's,
it's first of all, you know, giant plates. It's just
two giant cheese enchiladas. And it was there like chili

(02:06:05):
their country chili sauce with cheese Alme Cafe.

Speaker 3 (02:06:09):
I always thought that there's exactly like se was real thick.

Speaker 2 (02:06:12):
They'd also serve it to you with two slices of
Texas toast as well, which that was a very underrated
that or the even the steak fingers steak, I guess
it's just a cut up chicken fres that's all it is. Yeah,
it's the same exact thing. But the opened in December
nineteen seventy nine that they were one of the first restaurants. Yeah,

(02:06:34):
I was mentioning on Tuesday Show. When we moved here
in twenty eleven. Stuff was working. We lived for eight
months in Leon Valley before we broke that lease with
the apartment and moved downtown. Stuff was working for WOAI
TV when they were still down Time you gotta say
it like that and good Time Charlie's was one of
the first places we kind of found in downtown that

(02:06:58):
became a recurr because it reminded it reminded me of home,
like it reminded me of old Country fed steak, Hole
in the Wall play reminded me of Jake and Dots
and Stevenville. Some people will get that reference. So yeah,
this one is pretty sad, especially as like the fat
boy in me, like I'm imagining the the way that wrestler.

(02:07:20):
It's still real to me, damn it, Like that's me
being like I didn't get to get my last chicken
fried steak. Damn it. Like just no announcement. The Duseum
apparently made finally made them an offer that they couldn't
say no to. So the du Zum will take over
the property, but I think they're gonna it's the kids
museum that's right next to it, right there.

Speaker 3 (02:07:41):
Go to the museum and they have adult knights.

Speaker 2 (02:07:43):
They do have adult nights, doubt there's a there's a
lot of toys in there because it's a kids museum. Yeah, potentially,
I was about to say, we need cash Patel, Trump
and the Royals like the witty Cash Patel to arrest

(02:08:05):
uh Udoka over in Houston to distract from the worry
about swinger uh pour one out for good time. Charlie's
send the family of ham On this day, one of
the most iconic home runs oh ever hit. Mister Joe

(02:08:31):
Carter was told to round them all as he hit
a walk off home run for the Toronto Blue Jays
to win the World Series over the Phillies. Here's a
pitch on the way of swinging a belt hook peel
way back, Blue Jays, the Gloe Jays World.

Speaker 5 (02:08:52):
Series champion, Joe Carter.

Speaker 2 (02:08:57):
In the night, Penn and the Blue Jays bring Pete
as World Cheries champions.

Speaker 5 (02:09:02):
Touch them all. Joe, You'll never hit a bigger.

Speaker 2 (02:09:05):
Home run in your life.

Speaker 3 (02:09:06):
I remember going through my old baseball that's been pulling
out seeing if I had like a Joe Carter card
and what knocks.

Speaker 2 (02:09:12):
I was like, it's gonna be worth so much more money.
Now that's the call, Tom Cheek. You can bring it down. LG.
Tom Cheek is the guy on the call there, He's
the one that Unleasha's the touch them all, Joe, You'll
never hit a bigger home run in your life. One
of the greatest. Like too many times you'll hear, like

(02:09:33):
when Jim Nance does the Super Bowl, you can hear
he's rehearsed a line one hundred times to try to get,
you know, his exact moment, to try to create a
moment like that. That was authentic broadcasting in the moment,
just one of the great one of the greatest all
time baseball moments exactly, exactly, Yeah, but not just one

(02:09:57):
of the biggest, like the way like you said it
was ninety I was seven years old, and that was
that age where it was starting, like I was starting
to put together what I was actually seeing. It wasn't
just Cowboys and Ranger games. It was now watching Michael
Jordan in the finals on NBA in the.

Speaker 3 (02:10:16):
Back of every baseball car, learning the stats, and I
was actually playing Little league exactly, and I was like
I was going through.

Speaker 2 (02:10:22):
My growth spurts, so I was like crushing the ball
and like all it like it was them. It was
Toronto being the best team on the baseball video games.

Speaker 3 (02:10:31):
Yeah, still the only team if I don't think there's
maybe in the nineteen twenties, you check that staff for me.
The only team to end the World Series yep, with
the walk off.

Speaker 2 (02:10:42):
The walk off, that's it. Touch them all, Joe, that
never kid, you'll never hit a bigger home run.

Speaker 3 (02:10:50):
I remember chills even thinking about it now, man, like
you dream of that buzzer beater as a basketball player,
you dream of the walk off home run and World
Series chance.

Speaker 2 (02:11:01):
Pretty pretty tough to beat it now, all that being said,
still Dodgers in five, but you'll always have the stadium
that'll do it for another week of broadcasting. Thank you
everybody that continues to ride along on this thing again
