Speaker 2 (01:18):
This is a podcast call twenty five wist Stocking fun
Ball and they are whistle so yet it's too bad.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
But what did you expect?

Speaker 2 (01:27):
It's a podcast called twenty five.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Whistles twenty wine winel. Hey, welcome.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
We have a special whistler today. It is George Burge.
I call him country superstar George Burge.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
But Eddie's a hater.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
That's funny, Eddie a hater.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
You can blow the whistles, so we can started.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Okay, here we go.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
So I text George this morning and said George is
a superstar.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
He's in and out all the time. And I was like,
are you in town today? Said yes, said come up
and do whistles with this because we've got some stuff
to talk about. And so he's here, lives a superstar
a live although, George, some people take shots when you're
not here. When you heard the club of Eddie go
George is not a superstar, how'd you feel? Man?

Speaker 2 (02:02):
It honestly empowered me a little bit. You know. They
say you don't know that you've made it until you
have haters.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
And it was such a visceral reaction to it. Wasn't
that Eddie had planned or like, I'm really gonna get
a little jab out of my friend George.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
Now, I thought you were joking, like when the whole
when you did the whole announcement, I'm like, oh, that's
a funny superstar, That's all I said.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Seems like in his heart that actually hurt a little bit.
He's trying to make it better, but it's getting worse.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
Actually, I know George doesn't believe that he's a superstar,
but that's.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Not the point.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
The point is that you were so against the idea
of anybody thinking he was. And I feel like George
is on the precipice of being a country superstar.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
He already is. He's got one number one. Where's your
other song? Now? I think we are We should be
seven this week at seven this week that's a superstar.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
That's awesome. Man, that's awesome, George.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Boy, and you were and you're my boy.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
And that's why to the personal yeah, you know what too,
like I've known George for so long, like we we're
not like I don't think George as a superstar.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
I don't. And this is all due respect, George.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Oh you Hey, when someone is all due respect, because
whatever's coming next, it ain't good, the band aid.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
But when you do, like just become a massive superstar,
I'm still gonna think like, oh, this is me and
George playing playing golf together.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
And I want that to be that way forever. But
I still have you want to hear, you want to
hear a little motivation every morning. But also this is
what I would counter that with. At one point Eddie
was like, hey, I don't call George. I feel like
he's busy all the time now that he's like a star.
That's what he said, and I goes. I was like,
I'll FaceTime anytime. We FaceTime immediately, And who was he with? Well,
he was riding with Tyler Hubbard.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Superstar stuff.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
That's my point. You're talking on both sides of your mouth.
I like that I needed a little bit of that.
We're back, Eddie, We're good again.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Good Man, yeah good.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
I was a little ashamed that he said that, and
you know what, I chose to leave it in.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
And I thought you were joking. I was like, that's funny, dude.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
You know who loved it. It was my wife.

Speaker 5 (04:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
She was like, tell him Eddie, well we're here today.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
No, not George. He's already to push him up and
be like, this is who you are.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
George is gonna hang out with us for the next
half hours, so a couple of things. It will be
the last pickaball thing until way later. But my wife
and myself played Eddie and Red like four times and doubles.
We killed him every time, like seven to one, seven
two seven one, Like it wasn't even close.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
And who who do you think was was bringing the
Eddie and Read team down?

Speaker 4 (04:39):
Like if you had to pick a week link, I mean,
this is if we don't do that, right, but if
you had to taking shots already, I.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Just saw something on your sweatshirt.

Speaker 5 (04:46):
There.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
He's got no dog in him, he's got all goldfish
because he's last in the league. So my wife and
I read, what are you gonna say, buddy.

Speaker 6 (04:53):
I'm just saying I realized I am not as good
in doubles as I am in singles.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
But you were like last, next to last and singles
until Edie came along. I know you feel like you're
getting better.

Speaker 6 (05:03):
Yeah, I feel like I've gotten a lot better, but
I'm still like I still struggling doubles a little bit.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
I think I could diagnose Reid's doubles right here. Yeah,
he's too polite. He said that he's a monster. Uh,
but he'll be like, oh, that's your shot you got.
He wants to you to feel included when he could
potentially take over the game.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
We know so much, so a Read will be like,
I got it, and then if I'm just getting there
behind him, he'll go like, oh, even though I said
I got it, I was gonna let you have it.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
So, yeah, he won't slam the ball on you.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
And if he accidentally does, he says, oh, I'm sorry,
I didn't mean the same I had.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Reading the body like eleven.

Speaker 6 (05:36):
I came back with it though.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah, So I would say that that's probably Read's overall
problem in athletics is that he's way too nice.

Speaker 5 (05:45):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
We actually talked about this. It'll be on a Bobby
cast tomorrow. My wife and I read. We're talking about Read.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
But anyway, we whooped it.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
We killed him. But at some point, one point George.
My favorite moment of the night. My wife's a great athlete,
but she doesn't play pickleble hardly ever. But she's a
great athlete, so she can move well.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Read.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
It's a good shot back over. I hit an excellent
winner and she goes good shot and I'm like, oh,
my wife's compident.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
This is night.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
She goes good shot, Read, and I'm like, hey, I
hit the good shot.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
She goes.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
I don't need to compliment you.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
They suck. I have to ask, are you guys that
couple that like gives each other a kiss after a
good shot or like.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
No, I didn't see that, No, we're not.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
I had a couple the other day that were like
spanking each other with a pickleball paddle after after good shots.
It's one of those where it's like that seems like
enough to do that.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Oh yeah, I didn't even.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Use a paddle.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
My my communication with my wife I've had to change
because we'd play and she's an athlete and so it
would just be like if me and you were on
the same team, like, let's go, good job, stuck it up,
get up whatever. She doesn't respond to that. She just
likes regardless, Hey be positive. Yeah, so there's it's no,
we don't flirt. But she also like it's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
She's an athlete across a boat.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yes, I just am sure to say, hey, great shot,
good hustle. I keep it very positive when I normally
I don't keep it negative. But I just say how
I feel. But I've changed that communication because that's how
she likes to be communicated to.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, I want to let you know that I too
would like to hear that from you when we because
I've not seen it. We hate it.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
We hate ourselves exactly because George and I played together.
We've never lost together. By the way, we'll take on
all comers. But it's not even a bat. Georgie like,
I hate myself sucks so bad.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
When he really does, I'm like, okay, man, it's warm
up ball. We'll get him.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
We'll get them right.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
Nobody's even on the court. You're by yourself. Let me
ask you to a question. Bobby and George, do you guys.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Number one number two the league. Yes, we'll take we'll
take the please.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
This is from the old fish in choir guys question here,
what like, do you guys ever play for fun?

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Like where you just have fun? What play anything? Anything?
Any kind of game?

Speaker 2 (07:43):
You know what's the most fun winning?

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Good point, George, right right, But do you ever just
play for fun?

Speaker 2 (07:49):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
I don't know. Probably if there's like a child, right, yeah,
a young child, I will play because I feel like
I need to do something to keep him busy.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Okayta, even with my kids, I'm not gonna like hurt him,
but they're gonna know who the best is, Like like
if we're playing, if we're shooting hoops in the driveway
with my kids, or if we're playing golf or whatever, Like,
I'm not gonna let him think they can beat dad.
They need to know, you know that if they're gonna be.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Mad they Yeah, so where you're a kid, George's kids can't. Yes,
I coached Read to a victory over me.

Speaker 6 (08:26):
He coached you beat him?

Speaker 2 (08:27):
He did beat him, but but it was coaching. But
it didn't matter.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
I just I'm just yell at Read where to hit
it and what he's doing wrong as the points are going.
And he did it and he was great. He was
really good. And I'm like movie feet, hit it to
the left, go right now, and he would do it
every time. His hand our coordination is so good. But
he sometimes he just gets sloppy, and sloppy comes lazy.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Button ub breed could be dangerous. The seven foot wingspan there. Yeah,
but even a coached win is a win, that's true.

Speaker 6 (08:54):
I'll take it, of course.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
And then we played it uncoached. I woped his butt
but still beat me seven. But a couple of those
points though, I think we know, okay, hold on then,
So so does Reid move up the rankings? Is he
beat number one? I mean he should.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
That sounds more like an exhibition game. Yeah. I think
I think you may take it a little tick up.

Speaker 6 (09:10):
I'll take a tick.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
I think you take a little tick out. I think
you have a lot of potential.

Speaker 6 (09:14):
We want to hear it.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
But you did earn it.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
I didn't hit a single ball for you. All I
was doing was like hit it over here, now do this,
do that, and you did it. It just shows you
have the hand eye coordination. Yeah, and you when you
don't play sloppy and you actually care because he'll just
serve fault and like, dude, just focus, Eddie does that
crap too? What do you serve and hit it out?

Speaker 5 (09:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (09:33):
But I'm focusing. I just can't hit the ball.

Speaker 7 (09:34):
See read does a good serve though?

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Really good serf?

Speaker 3 (09:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Okay, pick a ball?

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Talk over, Thank goodness, George.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Did you happen to see Caitlin Clark at the LP
or the pro am?

Speaker 2 (09:44):
I did?

Speaker 1 (09:45):
Did you happen to see her hit into the crowd?

Speaker 2 (09:47):
I did?

Speaker 3 (09:48):
I did you hear the guy go?

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Like so?

Speaker 1 (09:51):
And I think she's generally a good golfer.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Her swing is unbelievable and I've seen a bunch of
other shots from her that are incredible, Like so, it
just show you, know it is. Golf is a nerve
wracking game, especially when you have a bunch of people
watching you. When you're trying to swing a club one
hundred miles an hour and hit it on something the
size of a square inch, you know, sometimes you mess
up a little bit.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
She was playing the Anika pro am on Wednesday. She
was paired with Nellie Korda. She's the one who smokes
ciarettes on the course.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Right, Uh no, not Nelly.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Oh that's not her, that's who it is. Yeah, And
it was like a dude, like a one word dude name. Yeah,
now I talk it. Jason Ricard, I don't know who
that is. And Dan Towers, but they're there, and so
she's up in there. There's a gallery what do we
call a gallery at the teabo? Oh yeah, okay, And
so she hits and luckily it doesn't hit me in
the face. It goes right over the people.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
It missed by like inches.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Somebody have hit someone in the face at a celebrity
tournament before. And George is the best. I think George
is the best golfer in all the country music. I
know there were a pros to live here, so I
can't say all in Nashville, but I think George is
the best golfer in all the country music. He played
golf in college, so I'm sure you have many stories.
We're just out of sheer a numbers game. But I played,
and I was doing a par three at Pebble Beach

(11:04):
and it's a celebrity tournament and the girl was and
I hit a pretty good shot, but she was just
standing on the edge of the green. She did not
see it hit her right in the face. I don't
see it hit her in the face. All I see
is that roll onto the green. It hit her face
and rickeyschet perfectly rolled right toward the hole.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
A great shot.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
I took off running give them a little fives. I
thought it hit the greatest shot on intrant.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
Because it did look like it hit a tree branch
or something. It was right by the hole though, it
was right off the green.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Right off the edge, and but it yeah, I just thought, yeah,
like it hit like a little some nick of something
in roll. And so I'm just running giving people five,
throwing my clubs and here it comes to go with
a big ice pack on her face and she's like,
I didn't look up and it hit her right in
the face. And that was embarrassing. Ever hit anbody of
the ball.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
I have and I also am a strong opinion. It
is probably not a popular opinion, but I do think
that it helps the pros a little bit. You've got
a built in backboard that we as amateurs without galleries
when we go play, we don't have it in the pros.
You know, airmail of the green. You take it off
somebody's head it's back. You take it off the tenth
that they build, it's back. You've got a little bit
of insurance there.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
And they never lose a ball because he's got people
looking for him.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yeah, yeah, that's a good point.

Speaker 7 (12:06):
I'd be good for us.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
But then we played the role like, but if we're
playing with the PG, would we have found it?

Speaker 5 (12:10):
Yeah? Okay, they.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Then it's not a drop. So do you have a
story of hitting anybody with the ball?

Speaker 2 (12:15):
I've never done like anything like that. I early in
my career, I was signed to a record deal with
Toby Keith and got to know him pretty well, and
I went out to Pebble Beach with him and I
watched him ask a woman about one hundred yards away
from him. He was like, hey, can you move? And
she was like no. He's like, hey can you move?
And he goes okay. He hits his three wood and
drills her oh with the ball and luckily it hit

(12:38):
her in his purse and he goes told you to move,
And he was that good?

Speaker 3 (12:43):
I mean, because that's pretty accurate.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
No, she was like twenty yards left of the fairway.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
It was he knew his tendency.

Speaker 5 (12:52):
Dang.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
He asked her twice, though aster twice. You know it
wasn't his fault at that point. Yeah, dang, I mentioned
this back Cooper Flag and Duke Kevin. Did you watch
Kentucky and Duke played all?

Speaker 7 (13:03):
I did not.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
I watched the last couple of minutes on an alert saying
the game was close on Apple.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
So did you get the Apple alerts? Guys?

Speaker 3 (13:11):
No, but that's awesome any games.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Like it's close, little black thing comes down Apple and
so go over and I watched it, and they went
to Cooper Flag and I so at the end of
the game, he did not hit. They did not win.
So whatever the whole thing to me that sticks out
of my Cooper Flag, who practiced with the Olympic team
right went to Vegas with all those guys. He's still
only seventeen. I know, he's still still only seventeen. He's

(13:35):
not even It's not just that he's a freshman. He's
a reclassified freshman. He would be a senior in high
school this year. He finished the game with twenty six
point twelve rebounds, two blocks. Again at the end, he
had a couple turnovers. Get a little ugly, not even ugly,
but he's so semi dominant at times really dominant. But
he's seventeen years old.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Wild and he didn't even really look it.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
Like that was watching Dartmouth or something yesterday and like,
there's a kid there that looked like he's my sixteen
year old's age. Is it any shorter though, Nah, there's
just a face or whatever, but he doesn't look like
seventeen to me.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
He's huge.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
He has a twin brother who's playing at Maine, and
it's weird when twins don't get the same genetics like that.
I feel bad for the less physically blessed, at least
right now twin because things can change, and who knows
the other brother may be smarter, Yeah, maybe, but it's

(14:32):
some twins are just bigger. For example, Kevin Klug, our trainer,
his brother is twin brother is just a little bigger
than he is, and Kevin Klue play college football. His
brother played in the NFL because his brother was two
inches taller and twenty pounds that made a difference.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
Yeah, it's gotta suck being the other one.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Because what would probably suck less is if you.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Were just completely different as a twin. Yeah, meaning you're
identical twins but like Ray Mundo and his brother Ray
short and muscular and his brother's tall, Like they weren't
going to do the exact same thing, didn't matter their
bodies weren't the same. That would probably be the better
twin to be than to almost the exact same. And
then one is really great and you're good.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
They're the like the Lopez twins. You know that.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yeah, we're both so elite.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
Yeah, that's it. One was better played longer.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
But still, Jake Owen has a twin, doesn't he. He does
have a twin very different than him too, very different. Yeah,
but Jake just chose. I think they just I think
they chose to do different things, like knowing Jake's twin
brother was like the guy in high school athlete, and
Jake was kind of like he played sports. He's kind

(15:39):
of like the loser music guy, and that flipped. Where
as far as the music, well, you're a loser anymore.
Now you're like the guy. Let me tell you from experience,
the flip from being the loser music guy to the
cool music guy is the coolest feeling in the world, because,
I mean, you eat it for a long time. In music,
there's no worse feeling than sitting at a bar playing

(15:59):
guitar and nobody listening and everybody kind of rolling your eyes, like, oh,
you're chasing this dream.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
Good luck, dude?

Speaker 4 (16:04):
Is that because high school is so like sports based,
where like, oh, you play sports your.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
And if you if you bring a guitar, if you
have a guitar, everbody's like, oh, what's this guy gonna
come singing by off campfire?

Speaker 1 (16:15):
And you're celebrated within the culture of high school so
on the high school football team, and that school celebrates
that you're a part of what's happening there. Musically, I
guess if there was a band, like every school had
a band they were proud of and went and toured
and rooted for them to win a bat it that
was like that, it would be different. But there's not
a culture of celebrating music like that, Like there's a

(16:39):
culture you know, if you're on count like that idea,
what's that like?

Speaker 3 (16:42):
Band?

Speaker 2 (16:42):
School getting behind your band, you go win Battle of
the Band.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
And they tour.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
It's like, yeah, like school of Rock Road high school.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yeah, okay, next up, I got a few things on
my mind here. Hey, I got my.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
Mind on you.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
And they don't don't sing it if you don't believe it.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Everywhere I go, man, I think he's a superstar rookie
quarterback comparisons. I just wanted to pull up the stats
on these four guys real quick. Caleb stats sevente hundred
passing yards, nine touchdowns, five interceptions. Are they going to
pull him?

Speaker 3 (17:15):
I don't think he can.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
Yeah, not yet.

Speaker 8 (17:17):
You got to try it out with the new OC, right,
you know.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Okay, let me rephrase. Are they gonna give him a
break for a minute, or is he just gonna run
with a new because again.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
So much hype around him.

Speaker 9 (17:28):
That would be maybe after week twelve, when they're officially
eliminated from playoffs, maybe they're like, eh, well let's get
him some rod.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
It just feels unhappy, yeah, not just losing. It just
feels un looking at the body language. It feels so unhappy.
And they are not good. And we thought they even myself, like,
look at all the weapons they have everywhere?

Speaker 8 (17:47):
Well I never really got while they kept ebraflus or whatever.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
And he's an offensive coach, yeah, you know, he's a
purely defensive coach. You would think with a new, young,
hot shot quarterback you'd bring in an offensive mine, right,
and Kingsbury was there right.

Speaker 7 (18:00):
Yeah. They do have the hardest schedule remaining too, that
doesn't help.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
Looks like at Jaden's stats with the Commanders, twenty one
hundred passing yards, nine touchdowns, two interceptions. The big difference there,
I mean, for the most part, touchdowns are the same,
are the passing yards a few less interceptions, but the
rushing yards is pretty big. He's got almost five and
also like dude wins.

Speaker 8 (18:19):
Yeah, like he was just NFL ready from the get go,
except his body isn't.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Yeah, he's Kevin Durant. Remember Kevin Durant. He's never gonna
make any hue.

Speaker 8 (18:28):
That's twig, that's true.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
But yeah, Drake May, hey, Drake may dude, I think
you might have something. I think you might have something.

Speaker 7 (18:34):
I think so too. We're ready.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Nine.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
He does not have the accumulation of passing yards because
he hasn't played as many games and the start as
many games. Obviously, seven touchdown, five interceptions, I would say
the worst cast of all three of those though, Like
he has the least amount of weabonings. Oh yeah, yeah, so,
but I think there's something Drake may and it's pretty
cool to see because it's so raw, but you're starting
to see now like something you feel pretty good about

(18:58):
building around.

Speaker 7 (18:59):
Yeah, it's fun to watch, it's exciting.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Married would you have me that behind my desk?

Speaker 2 (19:02):
And then yeah, I got you?

Speaker 1 (19:04):
And then bon Knicks who has two thousand passing yards,
ten touchdowns, six interceptions.

Speaker 8 (19:09):
I love Bick, Give me the Bonnicks, dude, I love
bon Nicks. They should have won that game six and five.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Nicks goes bone.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Nicks goes so hard in both directions, winning and losing,
like he goes. He you can pull it, Yeah, you
pull it on.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
I brought this in.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
I'm gonna leave it up here.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Oh this is my pull, you pull it. This is
my bon Knicks.

Speaker 3 (19:35):
Oh that's pretty rookie gold, that's chrome. Look at this.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
This is for my guy here who I who?

Speaker 1 (19:42):
If I were going to take one of these four quarterbacks,
well may know you, but I'm gonna say it, but
I think Bix is a baller. Yeah he's awesome, no
fear of that's number one. But that's pretty cool halmadah.

Speaker 4 (19:52):
Yeah, really cool with a visor, Yeah, blue blue visor.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
Bonnicks signed that to Bobby and George my favorite pickleball team.
Really a superstar, George, she wrote down. He wrote that
on the back. What order, Kevin, do you take them?
If you have to redraft them? Jayden, Drake, Drake over Kayle,
Are you being a homer.

Speaker 9 (20:11):
Though I'm being a homer. I'm being a homer. But
Jade and Drake, Caleb, Bo.

Speaker 8 (20:16):
Can't see you Jaden, Caleb, Drake, Bo Eddie.

Speaker 4 (20:21):
I would go Jaden, I would go I still like Caleb,
and I would go Bo Drake. Drake to me, hasn't
proven anything yet. Yes, there's a lot of hope there,
but I don't see it yet.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
I'm probably gonna go still Caleb, then Jaden, then Bo,
then Drake. I think all four of these quarterbacks getting
up being good, which is which is odd in a
class where like all four of them hit. We I mean,
we're not gonna get the We're not going to chance
to see old Michigan boyfriend playing with the Vikings until
next year. All right, thank you very much. Let's do this.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
You guys want to build a parlay or No, we're
gonna be up on the app.

Speaker 7 (21:00):
We're gonna win be next week.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Not this week.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
Nope, oh, let's do a three or then okay, we'll go.
We're gonna pick three games here.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
I got a good one.

Speaker 7 (21:09):
Oh he's ready, I got a good one.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Go ahead.

Speaker 4 (21:12):
We gotta go Northwestern over Ohio State's North's there. It's
a Northwestern is at plus twenty eight and a half.
And for some reason, when I've had crazy parlays hit
this year, Northwestern's that one team where I'm like, let
me just I don't know, let me chance it with Northwestern.
They always come through for me. Dude, this is it
Northwestern is it's gonna be. I wouldn't say it's gonna

(21:33):
be a close game, but they're gonna safely cover that bet.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
We're picking based on your ah better than any of
anything else we do. I think when we miss. Okay,
so Northwestern plus twenty eight over Ohio State, Dude, they're
gonna get beat by one hundred.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
Do you think so?

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Don't?

Speaker 1 (21:49):
It doesn't matter what I think, because.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
I'm telling you, Northwestern's just been that team where I'm.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
Like, I mean, just Taylor on them, okay, and they
have not let me down yet.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
I'm kevin.

Speaker 9 (22:02):
I'm looking at South Carolina at home against Missouri minus
twelve right now?

Speaker 7 (22:07):
Is Brady is Cook still out?

Speaker 2 (22:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Obviously he was out last week and that effected the
game greatly.

Speaker 7 (22:13):
Do you know yours go with Years if you do?

Speaker 3 (22:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (22:15):
I know mine. That's why I told Amy to bet
Oregon minus fourteen in Wisconsin. Quack quack, Yeah, like, don't
mess with Oregon now they're no good?

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (22:22):
What is the uh Texas Arkansas spread minus thirteen?

Speaker 3 (22:25):
Oh, he's not touching that.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
I don't game.

Speaker 7 (22:29):
Who do you got, George?

Speaker 3 (22:31):
Oh? A little a guest picker?

Speaker 2 (22:33):
Well, no, he's a Texas fan. I went, we're gonna
talk about that in a second.

Speaker 7 (22:37):
Key, I'm just gonna go with it. South Carolina minus twelve?

Speaker 3 (22:43):
You sure?

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (22:44):
I feel like you just threw that one together.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
No, it stuck out to me. And so what are
we doing? Northwestern plus twenty eight and a half and
a half, don't forget it? Oregon minus fourteen at at
Wisconsin and Kevin years is.

Speaker 7 (22:56):
South Carolina minus twelve at home against Missouri?

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Wonder what they know about the quarterback situation? There is
not very good there are they?

Speaker 2 (23:05):
Their offense is quite.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Good when their quarterback plays don't let the reputation as
Missouri affect your judgment because they have not been good
for years.

Speaker 7 (23:17):
No, I'm not this year. They were frauds in the beginning.
We like Missouri. Nothing against them.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
I don't know they were fraudulent. I think some of
the teams that almost beat them, we learned they weren't fraudulent,
like Vanderbilt. Like Vanderbilt takes them to overtime and they
We're like, Missouri is a fraud and they were like, nope,
Vanderbilt is actually pretty good. What's their schedule, don't I'm
not fighting for Missouri, I know.

Speaker 7 (23:38):
But South Carolina just smoked Vanderbilt on the road.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
South Carolina's really good though. South Carolina, like the week
before that South Carolina beat they had a good win
the week before that. Now games are getting mixed up.
I know there's our game. There is a and M.

All right, here is our talk with NFL Network insider
Tom Pelsero. Tom's all over NFL Network hosting a daily
TV show called The Insiders, which is a great show
to appearing on Good Morning Football Game Day morning.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
I mean he is everywhere he is, as they would say, ubiquitous.
Do you use that word?

Speaker 3 (24:52):
I'm no, never. I don't think I've ever used that word.

Speaker 7 (24:55):
No, A biquitous.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
You don't even know how to pronounce it, do you, George.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
That would be a first for me to use.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
Ambiguitous.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
No, I did not think it was a word that
no one used the word ubiquitous. You should look it
up then, because you'll always remember what it means. The
only reason I even know it and use it is
one time somebody called me that a few years ago
in an article, and I got I was like them,
and then I realized I shouldn't have been mad. I realized,
well that I guess I shouldn't have been mad at that.

(25:25):
Funny Okay, what yeah, how do you spell that?

Speaker 2 (25:28):
You be? I? I forgot where we all.

Speaker 4 (25:38):
You U I T I O U S and ubigous
present biquitous it's like everywhere like she still spelled it.
It's present appearing and being around everywhere exactly, like you're
just kind of everywhere.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
And the article and the article was like, byes, everybody's
on TV. But it was like, BYBLE'TU biquitous? I'm like,
f you whatever that means?

Speaker 2 (25:58):
I am not that.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
It's like, oh, it means I'm just kind of living
in some areas.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
That's funny.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
Yeah, Tom Pelisero, he is ubiquitous. He's everywhere. Tom is
very dialed in. Follow him at Tom Pallisero. Here he is,
as we said eighteen times, Tom Pallisero, you're the guy
who wanted to talk to for a couple of reasons.
One because we feel like if there's anyone that knows
what's going on with the Anthony richards situation and with Colts,
it would be you. Ye, they're going back to Richardson?
Are they going to stay with him? Like?

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Why did they make this decision?

Speaker 1 (26:26):
Now?

Speaker 5 (26:26):
Yeah, So they went to Joe Flacco two weeks ago,
and that was a product of a couple of things. One,
they just weren't efficient offensively. There was a strange situation
where Anthony Richardson literally taps out of that game because
he was gassed. What I was told at the time
was Anthony Richardson needed a breath, whether that's mentally, physically, emotionally,

(26:50):
he just needed to have something of a reset. Obviously,
they had seen Joe Flacco playing at a high level
to that point in the season. When he'd gotten onto
the field, their passing game had been more consistent. So
Flacco gets his first start Sunday Night Football against the
Vikings against a really tough opponent on the road, tough environment,
Brian Flores call him. The plays doesn't go great, and

(27:13):
then last week, you know, the pick six right out
of the Gate and the Colts are in the early hole.
Even though Shane Steichen went to the podium on Monday
and said, Joe Flacco's the guy until I say otherwise.
Joe Flacco's the guy moving forward, it probably shouldn't shock
anybody that, you know, at that time, he already was
thinking we may have to switch back to Anthony Richardson.
So the hope here is that for a guy who

(27:33):
was drafted fourth overall, who had not played a ton
of football, who is still one of the youngest quarterbacks
in the NFL about he's twenty two years old, that
this was kind of a you know, a wake up
call a little bit. You know, we got we got
to grow up a bit. It wasn't doing anything wrong
per se, but there's a youth to him and maybe
a naivete where all those extra things. It's not just

(27:55):
a matter of being a great preparer, it's being the best.
Those are the things that we were hoping sitting back
for a couple of weeks with Joe Flacco's starting was
going to bring him. They're optimistic that he did learn
some things. They would have loved that Joe Flacco and
the Colts had won those games, then we're not even
having this discussion. But Anthony Richardson, even though it's very inconsistent,
lowest completion percentage, all that stuff, he's got one or

(28:16):
two plays every game. We were like, holy cal they
could harness that. This guy's got a chance. We'll see
in a second opportunity whether he's able to take those
steps forward.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
A couple of human questions based on this circumstances. One
Joe Flacker, like, how does he feel about being benched again?
Did he know his role as just to be the
stop gap? He played great with the Browns, wasn't expected
to really be the quarterback for the Browns, but then
does and plays wonderfully. Then was with you know, with
the Colts this year not as great of a season.
But does he get upset when he gets benched or

(28:47):
does he from the very beginning Noah's role? And the
second part of the human question is like, how does
the locker room feel about Anthony Richardson in general?

Speaker 5 (28:54):
Joe Flacco is you know, he's seen it all, he's
forty years old, he was drafted back and oh, you know,
this is a guy who has won a Super Bowl,
been the highest paid player in the NFL twice, yet
for a large chunk of his career in Baltimore, you know,
he was a bit of a punch line. It was
just Joe Flacco because he's I think this big, kind
of gangly looking, immobile guy. People just wanted to, you know,

(29:19):
poke holes in him. But he's highly accomplished with in
the league. Nobody signed him last year. The guy's on
his couch in November the Browns. He was the fifth
different or the fourth or fifth different starting quarterback the
Browns had last year. Nobody was signing him. And then
he goes on that run last year. He plays well
down the stretch. He still got one coach that I
really trust in the league always describes it this way
with Joe Flacco. He's got arm twitch. In other words,

(29:41):
not only is he seeing the field and processing quickly,
but the way he can still get the ball out
even though he doesn't move really great, he can get
the football out really quickly. That part of his game
is still there. But nobody was signing him this offseason.
The Browns weren't resigning him. Part of that was I'm
sure that they didn't want calls for Joe Flacco. The
moment that Deshaun Watson struck in the end. Maybe the
Browns would have liked Joe Flackol to be there based

(30:03):
upon how their season went. But for Joe Flacol, he
knows this is results based. He knows he's not anybody's
long term solution. As long as he wants to play
in the NFL, this is probably his role most backup quarterbacks, Bobby,
if you look across the NFL over the course of time,
you're happy if you can go five hundred with those guys.
There's not a lot of times. Yeah, Nick Foles had

(30:24):
a great run with the Eagles Flacco last season when
he came in, but those are those stories are few
and far between. You're just hoping somebody can get you
back to your starting quarterback. Flaco had his opportunity. They
lost a couple of games. And with regard to the
locker room and Anthony Richardson, everybody wants the same thing.
Everybody there wants to have a team that's winning, a
team that is productive, that's making big plays, and it's

(30:47):
fun to be on the field. They're not out of it.
Look at the standings right now, the AFC South is
wide open. Especially with the Texans stumbling of late here.
I anticipate fully that they are going to rally around
Anthony Richardson and they're gonna hope again that this wake
up call for him over the last couple of weeks
brings back a guy who maybe takes, you know, even
if it's baby steps toward making the most of his

(31:09):
guy given abilities.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
I want to stay internally and even to speculating internally
with the Bears. They just fired Waldron, the offensive coordinator.
I don't know, you know, if any of those guys
are going to be around next year. But how do
you feel Caleb Williams is being received by his teammates.
I mean, we've seen people walk off the field. You know,
maybe maybe he had an injury, but like what's happening

(31:31):
there with Caleb Williams Chicago.

Speaker 5 (31:33):
I think it's it's hard Bobby to fully evaluate, you know,
anything that's going on with surrounding specifically Caleb Williams, because
the whole thing hasn't looked very good. Dj Moore, who's
got a great reputation as a locker room guy. As
a person, he's been the one throwing his helmet. He's
the one as you reference who in the middle of
a play. I've never seen that before. EA tweaks something

(31:54):
but walks off the field and is sitting on the
bench while Caleb Williams is still scrambling around. These are
unusual types of things. I think that there were probably
unrealistic expectations, quite honestly, for how quickly the Bears were
going to play at a high level this season. Because
they went and they signed DeAndre Swift, or they traded
for Kean Allen and they drafted Romadunze, the defense was

(32:15):
playing great. Everybody looked at him like, hey, basically challenging
in the division. The reality is coming from that air
a derivative scheme that Caleb Williams played in with Lincoln Riley,
and specifically in twenty twenty three when USC's receivers in
their offensive line weren't very good. If you watch his
highlight reel, almost everything is off schedule, hero ball, throwing
off balance, running around outside the pocket. It's hard to

(32:37):
live like that in the NFL, and so there was
a lot that Caleb Williams was going to have to
learn in terms of playing within the scope of an
offense and playing within rhythm.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
You know.

Speaker 5 (32:47):
I've known Shane Waldron for a long time. He trained
under Bill Belichick, Sean McVay, Pete Carroll. All those guys
trusted him on staff. He was the OC the last
two years of Pete in Seattle. He's a very smart guy.
He's a good football coach. He's a great dude. But
he is a personality that, if not introverted, he's at
minimum introspective and intellectual. He is not going to be

(33:10):
a high energy, in your face type of guy. Some
of the stuff you've been hearing from players, both what
was leaked out early in the season and what guys
like Kean Allen said yesterday as well, he didn't coach
us hard enough. He lets some things slide. He was
too nice of a guy. That's shame, and that works
with certain players, with certain groups players. Obviously with this one,

(33:30):
they want to be coached differently. They now have a
guy in Thomas Brown coming in who I also have
known for a number of years as a former NFL player.
He is going to be high energy and have a
ton of juice. It's a different personality. Is that going
to make a difference. It's the same playbook, it's the
same players on the field. Sometimes at least short term,
this is a placebo effect and people can feel like, well,

(33:51):
this is different. This gives us a chance here. But
in terms of the big picture, you nailed it. You know.
What happens these last eight games is certainly going to
end luence where things go from here. For the Bears
coaching staff, for the Bears organization. The one thing that
I can sit here and confidently tell you is the
Bears believe in Caleb Williams. They want Caleb Williams to

(34:11):
be the guy trying to build a stadium. Caleb is
a big piece of that. They've got to get this
thing right, and they'll continue to tweak things until they
do that.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
I was watching Aaron Rodgers, I guess after practice yesterday
and they'd asked him, Hey, do you want to come back?
And he's like, yeah, I think I do. Know whatever
it is a little yeah whatever. His little answer was there,
like do we believe he will come back? Do we
believe he even thinks he's going to come back? Or
is he just doing like Aaron Rodgers extension of care
about me content?

Speaker 5 (34:36):
You know, it was interesting because Aaron, for all the
times that he kind of mused about retirement late in
his days in Green Bay, and at one point threatened
retirement because he was fed up with the Packers organization.
Then they paid him on a big contract after another
MVP season. Things seemed fine for like another year, and
then he ends up getting traded to the Jets over time,
and even while you know, he played four snaps last

(34:58):
season before he tore the Achilles, but there were interviews
with him because he goes on the Pat McAfee show
every week, and it was like, yeah, I think I
want to play multiple seasons, you know, I'd like to play.
Three seasons started to extend, then all of a sudden,
the losses start to mount again, and now we're back
to I think I want to play in twenty twenty five.
Quite honestly, this is the first time, or at least
the most degree to which Aaron Rodgers has not necessarily

(35:22):
been in control of his future. You know, there's real questions.
They already fired Robert Sola, his good friend Nathaniel Hackett
is not calling plays anymore for the Jets. He's under
contract with New York, But do the Jets want him back?
Under what circumstances do they want him back, Who would
the coaches be on that team? Does he really want
to go and start over someplace else and have to

(35:43):
go through this same process and trying to get some
of his people in and learn new teammates. These are
real questions, and it's going to be, you know, dictated
in part by who they end up hiring. This question
is just about the head coach hiring process that they're
going to go through, because Donald Trump was just re
elected and that means Woody Johnson could be the owner,
could be headed for an ambassadorship, and so it could
be his brother Christopher run in the process. You know,

(36:06):
it's wild to think about like these massive world issues
that impact professional football, but they're real things and they
definitely also, you know, potentially bear on the future of
a guy who has dabbled a little bit in politics
himself in Aaron Rodgers. I'm sure he's got a million
other things in this life that he wants to do.
But I will tell you this, Bobby, if he had
thought there was a one percent chance that the twenty

(36:28):
twenty fourth season went like this in New York, I
don't believe he would have come back for this year.
I look at him taking hits like he did the
play after last week when there's a third down pass
for DeVonta Adams in the end zone, it gets tipped
and it falls incomplete. Fourth down. He's trying to do
an old school Aaron Rodgers thing, scrambling around by time
outside inside the pocket, and he gets blasted and he

(36:50):
goes down in like the chalk outline pose on the ground,
and all I'm thinking watching this as somebody who's covered
Aaron since my day's back at the Green Bay pres
because that is he's got to be laying there going
what am I doing? Well? Why am I? I've made
all the money of one four MVPs, I've want Why
am I out here getting my butt kicked on a
bad team right now? You know, I would anticipate he's gonna,

(37:12):
you know, step back after the season, evaluate what's best
for him, but also evaluate the landscape. And the Jets
are going to be doing the same thing.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
My final three questions, I want to go to coaching.
I just want to ask about Belichick. Do you think
we'll be He'll be back next year.

Speaker 5 (37:25):
He'd like to be Bill Belichick, despite the fact that
has he done your show, Bobby has he been. Has
he been here?

Speaker 2 (37:30):
He has not. He has not been on our show yet.

Speaker 5 (37:33):
You're you're the last show, I think, which is why
we haven't gone after, but you were not going out?

Speaker 1 (37:38):
Has he even offered it is different than has he
been on We Love We Love Coach?

Speaker 2 (37:41):
But yes, I'm just.

Speaker 5 (37:42):
Say he's everywhere in the media game. But I can
tell you he is doing things on a daily basis
all the time to prepare to return. He is staying
up up the speed on game tape, he's staying up
to speed on staffing, and he's talking to people. He's
evaluating potential coaching open He's he intends to be back.
What it'll be ter est to see with Belichick is

(38:02):
what opportunities present themselves and are they the ones that
he would want. He's going to be selected. He's not
going to go to a total tear down rebuild with
no resources, no quarterback. I don't know that he really
would want to go, you know, to the West Coast,
even just based on you know, where he's at in
his life and where his family is located. You know,
one of his sons is obviously not at the University

(38:24):
of Washington, but a lot of his families on the
East Coast. You know, those are all questions he'll have
to evaluate here. The other piece of this is, you know,
for Bill and for Mike Rabel and for Brian Flores
among others, there's real questions based on the hiring process
a year ago of do owners still want to hire
people from negative reinforcement cultures. There's a lot of enthusiasm

(38:47):
right now about the Dan Campbell's of the world and
the Demico Ryans and these coaches who it's positive energy
all the time and they want everyone to be a
part of it, as opposed to like the football god
archetype where it's Bill Belichick. Everyone answers to him, don't
question him. You know, he's on top. I believe Bill
at this point knows probably some you know, things that

(39:08):
maybe he would do differently from his days in New England.
I think he's more meldable to working with different people.
But it's still he knows one way to coach, which
is always to point out the things that we could
do better. This generation of players, does that get through
you know? Right now we're seeing some of the guys
like Dan Quinn who have been that positive reinforcement guy
for a long time having success. Does that impact the

(39:29):
hiring frends? Or do people go Bill Belichick's one more
games than almost everybody in NFL history. What are we
We're gonna hire some thirty five year old one year
offensive coordinator, or we're gonna hire Bill? If you're close,
if you think that you're not that far away, and
you got the resources in place, maybe it's a thing.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Two questions left, and I'll spin off that if the
Cowboys make a coaching change, which it seems inevitable they will,
would Jerry Jones hire someone like a Vrabel or a Belichick,
a big personality coach he does and have a long
left to live. That's a morbid thing to say. But
does he finally give up on having somebody he can control?

Speaker 5 (40:06):
Well? I think also does Jerry want to start over?
Mike McCarthy's contracts up, so one way or another, Mike
and the Cowboys are going to have decisions to make
at the end of this thing. You know, if you
bring in, for instance, a Belichick, Bill's history and again
I think he's more meltable on this, But Bill's history
as been You set up a program a certain way,
and you're probably going to go down before you go up.

(40:28):
The Cowboys won twelve games each of the last three seasons.
This season for a variety of different reasons, including not
paying Cee Lambun til the last second, including not paying
Dak until the end, a bunch of different injuries here,
there have been circumstances. Does Jerry believe bringing in a
Belichick is going to help him win right away? Whatever
he thinks can get them put one more trophy in

(40:49):
the case. I believe to your point, that's what Jerry's
going to want to do. Having said that, the idea
of Bill Belichick being the head coach of the Cowboys
and after game is fird. He walks to the podium
and he wants to give his usual three word answers,
and someone's like, yeah, Jerry's out in the hall questioning
that third down defense you called there. What do you

(41:09):
think Bill's head would explode? I just I can't imagine
that he'd want to be in that type of an environment.
But if that's you know, if that's the best place,
and if they can figure it out, hey, we're just
gonna make our egos come together for the next couple
of years. You rule nothing out. I don't personally believe
that's a great fit for anybody involved, but until the

(41:29):
Cowboys figure out their plan for twenty twenty five, anything's possible.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
Last question, and I know you're a Minnesota guy, what's
up with JJ McCarthy. Obviously not playing injured, but what like,
what's the future there at quarterback in Minnesota.

Speaker 5 (41:40):
Well, the first thing you got to ask yourself is,
you know JJ McCarthy's health, because he did have the
additional procedure they called it a biologic injection, which I
think gives people a bunch of like images of aliens
and stuff. Now it's this comment treatment's PRP and things
that they do to promote healing. He had some swelling
when he was going through his rehab, you know, as

(42:01):
they kind of were increasing the load on thene that
he had the meniscus repaired, in my understanding, is pretty
minor procedure, no impact on the timeline, should be back
for twenty twenty five. Flip side of that, Sam Donald,
even though we've seen a little more of the bad
Sam Donald here in recent weeks, he's still played by
a large at a high level, and I would think,
you know, there's really no precedent for a rookie quarterback

(42:23):
to miss an entire season because of injury. There've been
guys who have sacked, but that's a whole year reps
that JJ McCarthy is missing out on. Even though Kevin
O'Connell said, like two days after he got hurt, you know,
we've seen enough. We know JJ's gonna be our quarterback
of the future. I don't take that to mean he's
gonna be QB one and we're just gonna have some
young backup or you know, the Joe Flacco's the world

(42:43):
behind it. I think you have to go into twenty
twenty five with another plan, if for no other reason
than to ease the pressure on JJ McCarthy's he's coming
off of a major surgery to get back in you know,
and up and running quickly here. So what's going to
cost if Sam Darnald is that guy? And I would
certainly think, you know again, if he's given the opportunity, Hey,

(43:05):
you're going to come in here, You're gonna be the
guy at the front of the line. We're playing on
you starting until JJ's ready. I would think Sam Darnald
would love to be back. Is that something in the
neighborhood of you know, is it the Baker Mayfield contract
from two years ago which was one year, five millions?
Kind of like Donald's deal? I think is one year
ten million this year? Or is closer to the Baker
Mayfield deal he got this past March after one year

(43:25):
in Tampa, which was three years for seventy five It's
probably the latter. There's not enough quarterbacks in the league.
Are the Vikings willing to spend that type of money
to bring Donald back? I would certainly think that they
have a plan for it. I just Jaj McCarthy is
the future in Minnesota. Does that future mean Week one
to twenty twenty five.

Speaker 1 (43:44):
TVD we were talking about before you came out on
how get a job you do on NFL Network? That's
a great you guys do a great job on the show,
So congratulations on that. You do. Awesome feeling and for
rich is isant when he's gone, like, You're like the
only guest host on any podcast I listened to that
I will actually listen to mostly I'm like, I listen
to a podcast for the person, but when you're on,
you kill it, and you guys will put his social
handles down in the notes as well. Tom, thank you

(44:05):
for the time.

Speaker 3 (44:05):
Man.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
I'm a massive fan, you know, more than anybody else
period in football, and we're so happy you spend some
time with this man. Thank you well.

Speaker 5 (44:11):
Bobby. Next time you're making an album or a TV show,
or writing a book or one of your many other products,
you need to fill in on the Bobby Bows Podcast.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
It's you, you know it is, all right, Tom, see
about it?

Speaker 1 (44:21):
All right? A couple of things. Let's talk about the
Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight. One, what's our level of carrying?
George bursh ten means you wouldn't miss it for anything
in the world. One means huh Tyson, Paul, how much
do you care?

Speaker 2 (44:33):
I am excited. I've been watching. I actually spent an
hour when I should have been going to bed watching
Mike Tyson hype videos last night of his new training routine.
Oh wait, yeah, so he's moving really well for what
is he fifty six year old? Something like that, Yeah,
fifty six fifty eight. Maybe he's he's up there, but
I mean the sound the bag makes when that fist

(44:53):
hits it is I mean, you take one shot and
you're gone. Now, the thing that's taking my interest level
down a little bit is it sounds it. They're like,
there's some kind of kitchy rules in there.

Speaker 1 (45:02):
The gloves are a little softer, two ounces, the rounds
are instead of three minute rounds or two minute rounds.
What's what I like about it, though, because you're right,
they did soften it a bit to make it not
feel like a boring boxing match that we're going to
see on showtime. If happened to go across showtime for
two guys I've never.

Speaker 3 (45:21):
Heard of in the middle of the night.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
Yeah, because that's kind of the only time I've ever
seen boxing anymore. Is that it is it does count
on your record. Because at first it wasn't counting, and
people were like, we don't care because you're going to
throw it. Fix it, make it entertainment because it's pure.
It might as well be wwe if it doesn't count.

Speaker 3 (45:40):
But it does.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
They've said it does count on your record, and because
of that, that interests.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
Me a bit. Sure, I think the other cool thing is,
and it might be wrong, but I don't think he's
ever boxed anybody with the hitting power of Tyson, so
you know, he's been able to kind of get inside,
keep his hand up and kind of just crowd the
other boxer every match so far and kind of just
wear people out. He does a lot of hugging in

(46:07):
there kind of And I think Tyson has enough power
where you know, he throws a couple of shots and
can kind of knock him on his heels, And it'd
be fun to see him get knocked out. I'll say that.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
It would be fun. Yeah, it'd be fun to see either.
The best scenario would be Paul to get knocked out.
The second best scenario would be see Mike Tyson get
knocked out because you just know they were trying then,
and which is also.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
I mean, he's huge, Jake Paul has gotten Yeah, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:32):
And I don't want Mike Tyson get knocked out. But
if that happens, then you know they were really trying. Yeah,
otherwise they're brother in law each other.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
I just don't want to see the Mayweather fight over again,
you know what I mean? And that was yeah, I
think yeah, and we all kind of felt like we
wasted our time watching that.

Speaker 8 (46:47):
It was just.

Speaker 4 (46:49):
As Gregor, who did McGregor fight Mayweather? They boxed, he
boxed them, He would try to hammer fit them and everything.

Speaker 2 (46:56):
Which, honestly, I felt like it was pretty noble of
McGregor to get out of his comfort and his own
like pretty respectively. Yeah, I'll be he's on the beach
with bottle service now. But Gregory is chilling.

Speaker 3 (47:07):
He threw a couple of kicks in there too. They're like, yeah,
the breaks.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
Here we go, both fighters. We'll wearing fourteen ounce gloves
instead of the ten ounce gloves. Each round will be
two minutes rather than three to fight a schedule to
go eight rounds instead of ten. So yes, they have
modified it to make it a bit more uh stimulating
for not the common boxing fan, for like us who
will take two minutes. We'll take a little puffy your gloves.
We don't need as many rounds, like just go hit

(47:32):
each other. Also, I wish they would do it, but
those big, big, real big gloves, like one round, yeah,
like round five, those gigantic gloves.

Speaker 3 (47:40):
That'd be awesome.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
Yeah, but like randomly draw one number which round this
is the round they put on those those gloves hulcanes. Yeah, yes,
that kind of thing, that would be awesome, Uh do
we think and let's just go around there and do
you think it will be a legitimate fight, meaning they're
both gonna try as hard as they can.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
George, I don't think that Tyson is training like he
is to not go in there and and mail it in.
I think he's gonna I think he's going in there
with the goal of knocking him out.

Speaker 7 (48:06):
No, I don't think it will be. I think we've
seen this too many times in the last decade. I'm like,
I just I'm not falling for this one. I can't
do it.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
They have conditioned us to not be to not believe it.
I mean they've conditioned because like weird things. Uh, casey.

Speaker 8 (48:20):
I agree with Georgia that I think Tyson is putting
a lot of work in that at least he's taking
it seriously.

Speaker 3 (48:24):
I don't know about you.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
You're talking about a guy that bit another dude's ear off, Like,
it's not like he has a governor. I was watching
him talk and he was like, I don't like I
don't like who I who have to turn into when
I train. I try to not be that guy. But
and the whole time I was trying not to be
that guy, and I'm training, but now I'm that guy.
I don't like me that's scared of himself. I never
wanted to be I never want to even be me

(48:46):
and I am.

Speaker 6 (48:48):
I unfortunately think it's gonna be a situation where, uh,
he's just it, Jake's gonna barely win it at the end,
and Mike's gonna just pass the crown. I don't think
Mike would go into it knowing that he would get
knocked out or that it would just be an insane
fight to where Jake wins. But I think you.

Speaker 1 (49:07):
Think it's already gonna be in their mind they know
the ending. I think so do you think if it's well,
it's a it's a real sanction fight. So I don't
know the judges are, but the fact that it's actually
sanction makes me feel like they can't cheat that much
openly or like ruin the credibility of the people. But
you even in like the real fights, it seems like
they're cheating, like that's it's a sport where true.

Speaker 2 (49:26):
I have a question, what does Mike's bank account look like?
Does he need the money or is.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
It like here's why I would I would like to
give a semi educated answer on that. What do you
guys think first, I.

Speaker 3 (49:38):
Think he could use it. He can use some money.
Maybe the funds are a little low.

Speaker 1 (49:42):
But what does that mean, like he only has some
millions or he's.

Speaker 3 (49:44):
Broke only some millions and would like some more.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
That, Yeah, that would be my guess.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
I know that they paid him what was rumored to
be twenty thousand dollars to come here to do a
signing at a sports card thing where he came for
the day and signed and like he flew here to
do and that I thought that was extremely low.

Speaker 3 (50:06):
Yeah, twenty grand.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
Yeah, I would say that he came.

Speaker 1 (50:08):
He didn't fly private, he flew, They paid for his flight.
He flies over, stays in a hotel, signs for twenty
then that's a lot of money. But I'm saying for him,
so if he's gonna do that, I would think he
does not have a humongous nest egg that he's like, I'm.

Speaker 2 (50:22):
Rich, I'm good either way. He's not poor.

Speaker 1 (50:24):
I'm not saying he's poor, but I would have thought
for like the Tyson that as legendary as he is,
it's like one hundred thousand bucks to get him to
go anywhere. Yeah, yeah, but he flew commercial made twenty grand.
That's very interesting, and that's why that's the only reason
I feel the way that I.

Speaker 3 (50:37):
Do have They revealed the money for this fight.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
Would you google that?

Speaker 10 (50:41):
He was paid around twenty million? Who was Mike Tyson
was paid around twenty million and at one point he
had a net worth of four hundred million, then he
went broke.

Speaker 8 (50:49):
He's worth about he works about ten million.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
Ten was going to be my guess.

Speaker 6 (50:52):
Yeah, he's still getting paid for him hangover.

Speaker 2 (50:54):
Probably those little checks. I get a little originuals and bandslams.
I'm sure he by the way, thank you very much.
I appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
Okay, championship odds NCAA football number one Ohio State, number
two Oregon. They'll have to play each other most likely,
if Ohio State beats Indiana, they'll play each other again
in the championship game. Right, it'd be awesome if Indiana
beat Ohio State. I have a bad feeling that Indiana
is about to have to learn a quick lesson and hey,
that's cute, but I want them to beat Ohio State.

(51:26):
It's not this week anyway, it's next week, right, right, And.

Speaker 3 (51:28):
I mean, Ohio State has to get through Northwestern first
the same.

Speaker 1 (51:34):
And a half, Texas at three, Georgia at four, Ole
miss and Alabama both at five plus one thousand. I mean,
my money's on Alabama. It was before this last win.
My money's on Alabama. What's going to be crazy is
Georgia misses, and like Georgia is going to be a
better team than my Notre Dame has an ugly loss.

(51:56):
That Northern Mill loss is the ugliest of anybody that's
even in consideration to be the College four playoffs. That's
an ugly loss at home too, that's the worst loss.
Georgia is easily better than Notre Dame, Indiana, Miami, Clemson s.
They're better than almost everybody quickly without even there're being consideration.

(52:18):
And they may miss the playoff.

Speaker 3 (52:20):
That's wild.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
That's wild.

Speaker 8 (52:24):
I alway say, it doesn't even make sense.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
I also love the playoff.

Speaker 2 (52:26):
Like some they were like old, we hate to playoff.
It's going to make it.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
It's it's amazing. There's so many games that matter now,
like in the grand scheme of winning a National chang
it's the greatest thing.

Speaker 4 (52:36):
But what's crazy is people are still going to be
upset even though they're twelve, But.

Speaker 1 (52:40):
It's so much easier to be upset about thirteen to
fourteen then three and four, sure, because there's a real
fight at three and four, especially last year with fust.

Speaker 2 (52:48):
Just makes so many more games that matter, which is
so much fun to watch.

Speaker 1 (52:51):
And if your thirteenth or fourteenth, buddy, that's on you, right,
that means you lost a couple of games.

Speaker 2 (52:56):
Yeah, that means you lost.

Speaker 1 (52:57):
You could have lost one game and had an equal
wreck and not been the two team you know last
year is so it's made football so much better. Okay,
anything else I want to do here?

Speaker 2 (53:10):
Mike? Do we need to go to one more break?

Speaker 1 (53:11):
Yeah? It's good to one Mark, Okay, one more break.

Are you going or no?

Speaker 2 (54:46):
I wasn't, but you are now.

Speaker 1 (54:52):
I might. I hate losing. I hate losing to Texas.
I hate losing to Texas and then being trapped and
can't get out because it takes forever to get out
of that place because's no roads. So then you're just
like laying in your own stew It's like you you
peed in the bathtub with your bath water, and then

(55:14):
someone's holding you in there and you're like, well, there,
I gotta stand this peede bathwater.

Speaker 3 (55:18):
It's a terrible Now have you done that before? Dude?

Speaker 1 (55:20):
It's a hypothetical that just came description. I I hate
I hate Texas, hate everything about school. I wish they
would disappear, which they'd break it up and send it
to the other school.

Speaker 2 (55:34):
I said that.

Speaker 1 (55:36):
It's out of respect though, because Texts has more money,
they win more than us. The colors aren't cooler, but
they do have their own color that they own and
that's pretty cool. But I was not going to go
because I didn't want to just go and take the
beating man.

Speaker 2 (55:50):
I think we might do it. I think you'll have
a real football team. For one, I think that it
would we don't have for one, for my first point.
For two, let me roll this list out here. Really,
I think we are healthier than we have been and

(56:11):
for the first time in a second, Texas looked pretty
strong last week. I think it's gonna be a football game.
I do think it will be uh not a blow
away either way, and I'll be exciting to watch. The
last time we played you guys, I was like two
years three year ago.

Speaker 3 (56:24):
I was there.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
It was awesome. Were storm on the field after I did,
and I was up in the sweet and worry about me.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
I forgot care.

Speaker 3 (56:27):
You're older now, yeah, you're older?

Speaker 2 (56:29):
Black that out.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
Oh no, that was three years ago. I was like
maybe two years ago.

Speaker 7 (56:33):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (56:33):
I got it.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
Yeah, yeah, I was up in Sweet. It was awesome.
And then you guys ended up not having a great year.
It was it was his first year coaching, so you
guys want like six to six that year.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
Stark's been really good for the program. It's been cool
to see him turn around just everything now. Yeah, because
I mean, you talk about Texas having tournament last year
with four teams. You talk about Texas having money and
a brand and everything. I mean, we could do whatever
we wanted, but we could not win. I mean that
was a ten year stretch where were his head coach
after head coach seasons that were not up to Texas standards.

(57:03):
So to see him turning that program all the way around, Yeah,
it's exciting to be a long worn fan again. I
hope you lose so bad, but I hope that is
there a team that you just want to get beat
by whomever they play, Like, who is that team for Chris?
Texas Tech UK For me, you hate the tack when
they throw the tortillas on the fields after they went
and when they killed our national championship hopes crab Tree

(57:29):
that was Halloween that and then to watch the tortillas
and all, I mean it was it hurt.

Speaker 1 (57:36):
That was such a crack. I mean, so that's it's
sexist Tech. Yeah, do that crabs your catch like at
the sideline and then oh my god. And then it
was in Lubbock. Yeah, and they went berserk and sexts
of everything. Yeah, alone, he's got tortillas, just ready to get.

Speaker 2 (58:00):
This Texas obviously Kevin, who's yours.

Speaker 9 (58:01):
Mine's gonna be usc Growing up in Sunday, California when
they were good in the early two thousands, couldn't stand
their fans, couldn't stand here and about them. The same
thing as you kind of with Texas, where they were
always winning, always on top, and it just got annoying.

Speaker 1 (58:12):
I would even put for a long time the Cardinals
baseball team up there because I'm such a Cups fan.
But then I became an adult, and then you realize
in professional sports they just kind of go where they'll
pay you. Now it's that way in college too, but
there's something about there's still like a little bit of
romance about college and they're going to school and they
have books.

Speaker 2 (58:30):
You know, Yeah, so out of you.

Speaker 4 (58:33):
Yeah, I'm not jumping on your bandwagon, but I'm gonna
go to Texas too, But for a whole other reason
because when I worked right next to the stadium, they'd
pee on my tires. All the tailgators they'd get drunk
and they'd pee on my tires. Have to tell me,
hey stop he there hated that crap.

Speaker 2 (58:46):
That might have been me.

Speaker 3 (58:48):
Before I knew George read.

Speaker 6 (58:51):
I think just LSU mainly for my dad, and my
dad hated LSU fans. I just feel like the LSU
fans are so obnoxious in the sense they're the type
of people that would go to NFL game and wear
l s U jerseys. They're just like they're just gonna
cake everything.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
They have their house, their walls.

Speaker 6 (59:09):
With LSU stuff, their cars literally.

Speaker 1 (59:12):
True, that's true. Gotta respect a super fan because if
you're gonna hate them, you're only hating them because you
respect them.

Speaker 4 (59:17):
I feel like I see a lot of role tide,
especially around Nashville.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
And the more they there's a lot of bandwagon roll tide.
I gotta say, people that you know, saw Alabama winning
for years and years and kind of just you know,
maybe didn't go to school there, maybe didn't even grow
up in Alabama, but they wanted to be a part
of a winning program. But that that's my issue with
Bama is there's so much bandwagon roll tide, and might
put up a bandwagon Tennessee. I know one, they one

(59:42):
a little bit.

Speaker 7 (59:43):
Yeah they one over here.

Speaker 2 (59:44):
Casey, who do you hate?

Speaker 8 (59:45):
Wells is more of a basketball school. So North Carolina
is the team that we don't like NFL wise, Uh
the Pats, Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:57):
If I if I were the Jets or the Giant anywhere,
any of the Northeast things, I would freaking hate you
guys just for all the winning you did. But most
of the Jets.

Speaker 8 (01:00:05):
Yeah yeah, yeah, that sucks.

Speaker 7 (01:00:07):
That's fair because you guess, man, I.

Speaker 2 (01:00:08):
Think some of the Pat's hate has gone away with
kind of the fall from Grace.

Speaker 3 (01:00:11):
Yeah, it was a little reluctant. It's a little different.

Speaker 5 (01:00:16):
Now.

Speaker 7 (01:00:16):
Why would we hate a loser?

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
There's nothing to hate.

Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
Well, I never hated the Chiefs until the last three years, right,
you just get annoyed by them because they went all
the time. Although I don't hate the Chiefs, I didn't
hate the Patriots. I like I rooted for the Patriots.
I wasn't, I wasn't a fan, but yeah, I liked.
I liked dynasties because they're rare, and I thought it
was so cool that we would see something. I love consistency.
It doesn't matter what it's in. I mean, we were
seeing consistency and just winning. Got lucky to see Lebron,

(01:00:43):
got lucky to see Jordan, got lucky to see the Patriots.
There are a few of those. We didn't really get
to see the Lakers do that. That was kind of
we were Wait, we're too young for that. But Jack
and Kobe, I know, I'm talking about winning all the champions.
Do you say the Patriots like the Celtics and Lakers
against each other?

Speaker 3 (01:00:57):
You say the Patriots are Tom Brady the Patriots, Eddie.

Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
This is helping me kind of understand your attitude towards
me lately as well.

Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
Oh boy, hey, as a Cowboys a dynasty and he
is as a Cowboys fan, George, Like, who do you hate?

Speaker 5 (01:01:14):
Man?

Speaker 2 (01:01:16):
I would say probably the Eagles was always a tough
one for us. Their fans love to rub our noses
in it. Yeah, Commanders are tough for us too.

Speaker 3 (01:01:25):
Yeah, what about the Niners.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
Never really had a problem with the Niners.

Speaker 1 (01:01:29):
Yeah, he's too young to see the Super bowls, Anty
championship games.

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
He missed us a while.

Speaker 1 (01:01:35):
All Right, I think we're done here. Good luck to
all your teams, Casey, you're done.

Speaker 8 (01:01:40):
I'm done.

Speaker 1 (01:01:40):
Yeah, Jets, you.

Speaker 8 (01:01:41):
Know, but the Jets are gonna win this game just
to screw over the draft order thing, because.

Speaker 4 (01:01:45):
That's like kind of how they roll, Eddie bones you
don't think the Cowboys are done.

Speaker 1 (01:01:48):
I do now, yeah, when we're done, right, I thought
if you could win, if you could win last week
I thought. I also I was thinking Cooper Rush would
be a little better.

Speaker 2 (01:01:57):
Honestly, I think it was not.

Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
It was hard to watch. Yeah, yeah, just based on
the year before. Is it a lot year before? You
want two years?

Speaker 8 (01:02:04):
And now I know now they're blaming it on the
sunlight in the stadium too.

Speaker 1 (01:02:07):
Yeah, me too, That's why I saw.

Speaker 4 (01:02:08):
But you know they're the Monday night game this week,
and it's like, great, my Monday's wasted in the.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
Battle of Texas. Do you want them to play Trey Lance?

Speaker 3 (01:02:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:02:16):
Sure, let's I mean, let's let's are you are you
want them to start him?

Speaker 3 (01:02:19):
Let's see what he can do as a starter. I
would love that, I agree.

Speaker 1 (01:02:22):
But are you doing that so you can see what
he can do? Or are you doing that because you
know what he can do and you'd rather just lose
and get a better draft. No?

Speaker 4 (01:02:26):
No, no, I want to see what he can do because
I mean, he does have a different game than Dak.
Dak can't run the ball. So Trey Lance with the
little weak offensive line that we have. He could make
something out of it, and I'd like to see it.
If that's even possible, I guess.

Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
And Trey Lance can't throw the ball, so like if
you combine their powers, you'd have an actual quarterbacke. Yeah, yeah,
look at that. Uh do you guys follow George? Is
it just at George Burge?

Speaker 2 (01:02:49):
At George Burge.

Speaker 1 (01:02:50):
We'll put in the notes. Where are you going today?

Speaker 2 (01:02:52):
I am headed out to Uh we're taking the bus
out tonight, but we're headed out just around Chicago. Yeah,
playing shows, playing a little private show out there.

Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
Yeah see hey, yeah, superstars play private shows.

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
You know who doesn't get it asked through private shows?

Speaker 3 (01:03:07):
Not superstars like us. Normies don't.

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
Normies don't get asked to do that. Who does superstars? Right?

Speaker 6 (01:03:14):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:03:14):
Congratulations George, thank you for being on with us. You
guys go follow George And I hope Barkets'll beat Texas,
But I have no expectation. But if I'm there, just
know I had expectation.

Speaker 2 (01:03:23):
Proud to be an honorary whistler today. And yeah, how's
ever read? Are you sick?

Speaker 1 (01:03:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:03:28):
I got a little stuff in this going.

Speaker 3 (01:03:30):
Do you hear that?

Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
What's up?

Speaker 6 (01:03:31):
I don't know. Morgan had it on the plane. Yeah,
so I don't know if I got it from her.

Speaker 3 (01:03:36):
Or wasn't Bobby on the plane too.

Speaker 2 (01:03:39):
Yeah, you should record some music while your voice is
like that. Man, it's got smoke to it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:44):
Man.

Speaker 3 (01:03:46):
No, okay, does he sound sick.

Speaker 1 (01:03:48):
No, but he's been. I know what it's like to
travel all the freaking time. And and even when I
text him, I was like, hey, come up, because I
was like, are you in town? He goes for just
a few hours whatever. I was like, never mind, if
you want to come up. He goes, I'm in No.
I said, dude, I love you, so I would rather
you not come in now because I know you're gonna
be exhausted. And he goes, no, I'm here, I'm coming up.
I was like, okay, fine, I just know that sleeping

(01:04:09):
on a bus last.

Speaker 2 (01:04:11):
Night was actually weird. I did a casino show, which
is like so easy for us. There's a million people
helping everything's backline and set up. It was all I
had to do was play four songs. I played four
songs and they gave me a box with a wedding cake.
On the way out, They're like, hey, just take this,
And so I went up to my room and I
ate a half a wedding cake and watched Breen Mile
and fell asleep by ten o'clock. It was a really
good night movie. Weird, weirder than it should, like out

(01:04:35):
of nowhere. This is the first time I'd ever seen it,
and I had heard about it a million times. Great movie, yeah,
but at one point you're like real weird.

Speaker 1 (01:04:41):
You're like, wow, this is really a really great time
piece of history. I really don't agree with how they
used to treat people. This is not good.

Speaker 2 (01:04:47):
Oh my god, that's so weird for those anything you
might have learned.

Speaker 1 (01:04:52):
Yeah, like you're actually learning, like wow, why there are
certain aspects of our country that were not good? It's
certain and you're like, well, I'm taking this for a
good plug. Oh my god, that's too weird, and you
forget everything you just learned over the past hour and.

Speaker 4 (01:05:02):
Hap like my son was like that, what's another good
Tom Hanks movie? Like, oh, we need to see Green Mile,
And then I thought, like, you know what, we don't you.

Speaker 2 (01:05:07):
Get to pass on that week after watching that was
my first time to see it last night. I'm a
Tom Hanks super fan. Right, Yeah, I wouldn't put that
one up at the top. Have you seen from the
TV show from No anybody else? Read?

Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
No Reads the one who was so Caitlin says, last night,
because we were recording a podcast, my wife never does anything,
and she happened to come down and she owes me
some episodes from Losing Bets. I never cash him in,
but she had walked down. It was just reading nine
in the studio because we were trying to go live
on YouTube, and she was like, hey, what's up.

Speaker 2 (01:05:36):
So she sits down.

Speaker 1 (01:05:37):
I was like you, I said, you owe me some
episodes you want to go live? And she's like yeah
or whatever, and so I was surprised. So I take
advantage of it. And we're talking and she's like, you
know that we're talking about TV shows. She goes, I
want to watch that show from and I'm like, I
never heard of it, and she's great at picking shows,
and Read automatically gets a boner like yeah, that's weird,
and we're like, we're like, what's that for?

Speaker 2 (01:05:56):
And he goes from the show with the voice to.

Speaker 1 (01:06:00):
This, and so she had already been told it was
good and she was in and Read was like you
will love it. And so we watched the first episode
last night.

Speaker 6 (01:06:09):
Did you like it? I gotta admit it took me
like three episodes.

Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
Oh no. After the first episode, I was like two
two things. I was like, I didn't want to be scared.
I hate scary stuff, pretty creepy. And at one point
there's something that happens or I go ah, I kind
of like that. I was like, we're not gonna make
it through this, are we. I didn't even watch Twilight
because I had nightmares.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
Plot on this from thing.

Speaker 1 (01:06:32):
Don't spoil I can tell you only what I know
because I've only seen one episode. Because I don't feel
like I'm spoiling because I can't because I haven't seen anything. Yeah,
by the way, I'm obsessed with going to watch the
next episode. If you want to know how my brain like,
I cannot wait.

Speaker 6 (01:06:43):
Well, you got two more seasons after.

Speaker 1 (01:06:45):
There's a small town, And what I know is when
it started to get dark, the sheriff walks through ringing
a bell to everybody get in the house. There's something
that lives in the woods.

Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
I'm in already.

Speaker 5 (01:06:58):
Too.

Speaker 1 (01:06:58):
Yeah, there's something that lives in the woods or may
not be the one. I don't know with one episode
that comes out and just's with people and they can
like apparently look like people you know or something when.

Speaker 3 (01:07:07):
You say trick you f with people like kill them?

Speaker 2 (01:07:10):
Yeah, what what platforms is on?

Speaker 1 (01:07:12):
We watch it on Amazon? Okay, but it says it's
on MGM plus and we're like, we don't have this one.

Speaker 6 (01:07:16):
I watch it on Amazon.

Speaker 1 (01:07:18):
You do? Yeah, yeah, so we're one.

Speaker 2 (01:07:20):
I can't. It's a feelish it read.

Speaker 6 (01:07:21):
I'm all caught up, Like now I just gotta wait
on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (01:07:24):
You can say, having made it through the whole thing,
like you were satisfied.

Speaker 6 (01:07:27):
That dude that you watch. It's so good also, which
I love, like weird sci fi kind of kind of
shows too, and it's like a little bit of creepy,
a little bit of sci fi and like you just
keep showing your toes.

Speaker 7 (01:07:37):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:38):
It's listed as a horror sci fi. The horror part's
tough for me. If they just would have said like
weird slash, like totally for me, weird horror okay, year
round or is it just like Halloween War at time?

Speaker 4 (01:07:49):
Well horror whatever you want?

Speaker 3 (01:07:53):
Super Star.

Speaker 1 (01:07:58):
Never for me. I don't like stray. Yeah, I don't
mind zombies because I feel like that could probably really happens.

Speaker 4 (01:08:04):
I justify that scary stuff like you can think about
it for way too long after you watch it, which
I don't like.

Speaker 3 (01:08:09):
It consumes my life, Like I.

Speaker 1 (01:08:11):
Like Jason Freddie, never watch any of that. I don't
like scary stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:08:13):
That's not good.

Speaker 1 (01:08:15):
But I think generally, I don't know. I don't watch
the scary movie, so I can't do that. Read what
do you think? Horror all day, all night?

Speaker 6 (01:08:21):
I love it, man. I don't get into the demonic
stuff because praise Jesus. But you know, but like that
sort of stuff, like creepy stuff in the woods, like
kind of zombiesque.

Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
I love this. We should go to our movie expert
guys before we leave. Literally, we're talking about movies.

Speaker 1 (01:08:34):
Literally, movie Mike, what's the deal with horror movies?

Speaker 2 (01:08:37):
Horror is good.

Speaker 10 (01:08:38):
All year round. I'm into the demonic stuff, but yeah,
unless it's like completely focused on like Halloween, like this
is a Halloween movie that's just head around Halloween. Everything
else year round. Because there's different types of horror. There's
modern horror, there's sci fi.

Speaker 2 (01:08:49):
Horror, very true, lots of horror.

Speaker 5 (01:08:56):
Horror.

Speaker 1 (01:08:57):
He goes, I think that's about it, braining upon sidways.
All right, thank you guys, Betty blow the whistle. We'll
see you guys next week. Byeuddy.
