Speaker 4 (01:23):
This is a podcast call twenty five wist stocking fun
and they all whist So, yeah, it's too bad, But
what did you expect? It's a podcast call twenty five whistles,
swimming wine.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Hey, blow the whistle, thank you. I gotta get well
balloon here from Eddie. It's a smaller than you expected.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
I didn't expect a balloon, so I would say it's
larger than I expected because I expected nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Well, I went to the store and I'm like, I'm
gonna get him a big balloon because they saw like
huge ones. Then I saw that, I'm like, that's even funnier,
or did you go that's even cheaper? Well and cheaper.
It's a tiny little balloon that says get well. Yeah, well, buddy, gosh, dude,
this is crazy. So the first time I've seen you
since your surgery. So I had surgery last week.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
I currently have my leg up in a director's chair
because I can't if it goes down for like five seconds, it.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Hurts so bad the bloods down to it.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
This is the first day I haven't taken pain medicine,
so it's been killing me all day. What hurts your
whole foot or where the where the surgery was? I
don't know it all throbs like, I don't know that
I have a way to differentiate it.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
Mmm.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
But because we had to work recording this on Sunday night,
I took no pain medicine all day today.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Just because you want to like, not do it, you
want to show yourself you can. No. I didn't want
to come on and not be able to talk. Oh oh,
because it messes you up. Yeah, big time got it.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
So I took no pain medicine and the doctor was like, hey,
I highly recommend you take your pain medicine. I said, yeah,
but I got these shows I got to do. And
he's like, I'm telling you, if you get behind, it's
going to kill you. And I don't know what he meant, like,
if you allow it to start hurting, it's hard to
get it to not hurt, and.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
I've been chasing it all day. So yeah, it's been
killing me. Man, you should have just stayed on the medicine.
That would have been fun.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah, you know me not how I vibe.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
But yeah, we you know, we've been hanging out the house.
I've done nothing.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
I'm just sitting there crazy because it's nice to be
able to sit and do nothing when you want to
do nothing. Correct, It drives you crazy when you can
do nothing whenever you have to do the.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Options and you have the option to go do something right,
but you choose to do nothing. Yeah I can't. I
have no options.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
And my wife's pregnant, so it's like we're not neither
one of us are like in our height right now.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
So who oh god? So who does the Like, hey,
will you go get me? She's been very proactive. I'm
getting everything. Wow.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
So she's like this week because the doctor's like, this
is gonna be a bad week for you, She's like,
this week, I'll handle it all. And so I try
not to ask too much and sometimes I just get up,
Like taking the dogs out, it's hard. That's tough because
we have a bulldog that likes to run off in
the woods, he won't come back. And he likes to
like dive bomb and poop like he's likes to run
and dive in it. So then that means we have
to clean him up. So we have to go out
with them. And I have three modes of transportation. I

(04:05):
have normal crutches, which, oh, got it, suck.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
They have bruised up.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
So there's your armpit, the back of your armpit where
those crutches go in. They have bruised that up so bad,
so that's sensitive to the touch.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
You would think that with the technology, they'd make better crutches.
Well they did.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
The other two things that I have, got it, they're
just not crutches. I have one of those wheelies and
it's a cart and you put your leg on it.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
I've seen those a couple things.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
With that one, we don't wear shoes in our house,
so I don't take that thing out of the house
because if I take it out of the house, the dirt.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
It's just like wearing shoes in the house. It's the
same rule at the roller skating rink. If you have
skates that have been outside, you cannot bring them in.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
And that was her. That's her low roller skate rink
rolls in the house. Yeah yeah, so I use that
to get around the house. But we have stairs, even
on the bottom floor, which that's very difficult. So I
can like rollerr to a certain point. And then I
have what is like the prosthetic, So you veingd your
back and you put your knee in it and you
have like this fake foot.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
That thing is awesome. So overall that's the number one.
Like Captain Hook would be jealous of that thing. That
is the most useful. He hit an arm. Okay, my
bad a pirate with the peg.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah, that's number one draft pick.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
But it's not the easiest. The easiest is the roleie.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
You can just use this in more places and it's
easier to drive around with.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Dude, have you stifid question? Have you put a shoe
on that? No? On it? No, it's not an No,
I'm not trying to make people think it's a real leg.
You know. You know how like people with prosthetics they
put a shoe on the fig leg. You got to
put a shoe on that.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Well, so here's the problem is that I've only been
wearing one shoe on my good foot, right, I can't
find either shoe now.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Even walking down here, I get that because I've been
wearing flip flops or like a sandal type thing on
my good foot. I can't find either shoe because I
split them apart and I don't know where they are.
So it's cold now and I'm freezing. I'm coming down.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
I have all these stairs to come down, and I
got no shoe on my foot.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
I'm cold. My foot's freezing, it's got rocks in the
bottom of it. That's my good foot. It sucks, man. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
I hope in two and a half months or so,
when I can use my foot and ankle again because
it's been bothering me for two years, that it will
have been worth it.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
But right now it sucks. It'll be worth it. Are
you at the point now where it's like you start feeling,
you start thinking of all the things that you can
do because you only have one good foot.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Not yet, because it's only been the weekend and it's
only been and I've had pain medicine the whole time. Yeah,
And so I really thought about not taking any pain
medicine because I don't want to get addicted. I have
a fear, probably a bit irrational with some rational mixed
in that I will take one pill and the next thing,
you know, I need it for the rest of my
life every hour.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
And I took it because the doctor was like, you
need to take the pain pills. It's going to be
a nightmare for you if you don't. And so I
took it and it didn't make me feel any certain weight,
just made me go to sleep.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
So I was like, cool, no problem. I didn't take
it every eight hours like he suggested. I just took
it to go to sleep, and then I took it
up short of hurting bad today, I should have taken it.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
What are you taking? You know what? It's called pergasset, Well,
it's Nothing's called pergasset. I try to go off the
dumb on that one. It is hydrocodone. Oh yeah, that's
the good stuff.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
So I don't know if that's like a version of
per cassett. I don't know which one's generic. I don't
know enough about it.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, that's crazy. So like, yeah, man, you start thinking
of Matthew Perry. I mean that's how like a lot
of those addictions started. He you know how he he
got addicted. He on the set of fools rush in.
He got an accident on jet ski and then it's
some like doctor on set was like, here, man, take these,

(07:52):
that's it.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
I think that was Brett Farv's problem. I think he
had a pain pill addiction because he had hurt himself
so bad playing ball.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah, and was addicted to pain pill. I'm trying not
to go down there. Don't let it start, dude, not try.
I'm trying with your foot.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
It's so weird because I put a picture up on
Instagram of me in the hospital bed. It feels a
lot more serious than just ankle surgery. Whenever you're actually in,
they have you strapped. In the reading of your last rites,
the pre shows up like everything, it's like for legal reasons,
they have to make sure everything is covered. Yeah, they
got there. They're testing blood pressure, they're drawing blood. They

(08:27):
got they got clips on things case something goes wrong,
pull this, say this, here's the magic word, here's a
safe word.

Speaker 5 (08:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Uh so you're doing it. Takes like an hour and
a half to even go in. And again I went
in and I had what they thought was a hole
in my cartilage that had gotten so wide they were
gonna have to put some cadara carlige. In turns out
there's a little more damage than they thought. Not much,
but a little more damage they thought. But they gave
me the riot act like I was about to go
in for open heart surgery.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Hold on, they told you this after the fact or
the How did they know that something was different before
they even win in? No, no, no, no, they told me after.
They give you all these images of the surgery. Once
they were in there and looked at it all. That's crazy.
They were like, here's what we thought. This is it.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Also, this had to be cleaned up. We found another
small hole here, we did the cadaver cartilage there.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
There you go. Did you get information on whose cartilage
you got?

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Nah?

Speaker 2 (09:14):
You didn't ask? Yeah, I felt like that'd be weird.
I'd be like, I don't know, dude, I have no idea.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
I have to find their family for Christmas and invite
them over. I didn't want to know for for my
own lazy sake Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah, I didn't want to have to like have a
new relationship, so I didn't ask. Then then go to
the first pitch of the game, like, here they are,
they're meeting for the first together. And then what if
I didn't like them and they wanted a back right, right?
So what was the whole processes? Like in and out? Finished?

Speaker 1 (09:45):
The show went up, they said they would give me
the last surgery of the day because I said had
to work in the morning, and so they were like,
so be here at ten forty five and I'm like, dang,
that's cutting the close last surgeries the day.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Somebody's gonna go play golf. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
So I finished the show. We did not do a
part two on Friday because of that. On the Bobby
Bone Show, drove right over and they make you sign
all these forms and it's like, if something goes wrong
in surgery, do you want to donate your organs now
on my card?

Speaker 2 (10:16):
I'm already an organ donor and your license. Yeah. I
don't know why they asked again. So I went to
my wife and I was like, remember those stories about
how people that right, yes, if they're on the brink
of death, they don't save them so they can donate them. Yeah.
I was like, maybe she's like, just sign yes.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
She shut up, Just sign yes, if something happened, you'll
donate your organs. And so they walk me to the back,
and so they're like, Okay, put this gown on. And
I'm so fearful They're gonna look at my wiener when
I'm asleep.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Anyway, of course due because I'm out, but they let
me keep them underwear on. Oh good.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
So they were like, you can take everything off except
for your underwear.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
And I was like, great, wouldn't you like if you
were working in that, Like, wouldn't you like? No, I wouldn't,
just without a doubt, No, without a doubt, I wouldn't.
It depends on who it is.

Speaker 5 (11:00):
I know you.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
I don't think so. So I made the joke. Should
I have written with a sharpie yes on the right leg,
like don't cut this one? Or do cut this one?
This is the one? Yeah, he said. People do that.
I'm sure I doctor did yeah, because of the stories
of people that don't do that. And then they end
up chopping off the wrong leg.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
They check you like four times to make sure it's
the right leg, even before they put anything in you.
What do they say, Well, first they put a bracelet
on you, and they put it on my right arm,
and they put it on the opposite of the one
they're supposed to cut.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Oh see, that's confusing to me. I guess they don't
want to. I guess they don't want to bump into it.
Like once you get opposites in and like no, no, no, guys,
left left, left, left leg.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
And they're like, so, which leg will will be working on?
And I'm like left, great, great, now which one again?
Let's try to catch me in a line.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Cross examined? Yes, so then the the gas Yeah, the antestesiologist.
Normal looking? Yeah, very normal? Why my experience? Not really
normal looking people? What kind of person does that to you?
Like just they look like they haven't seen the sun
in a while. Oh interesting. You know there's a certain

(12:07):
kind of person that's that that does that, and they
always seem a little different, like hippie no, Dracula, Yeah, Gothy, Yeah,
like pale. No, I heard the pale part when he
said no son, pale. But like, what would their hobbies be? Reading? Okay, well,
I would hope any anesthesiologists like reads for fun in
a dark room? Uh Like, just like you're a very

(12:30):
bram stroker right now, it's for sure, Dracula. I don't know.
I've only done it like a handful of times, but
every time it's a weird, interesting looking person.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
The person was as normal as could be good. And
he was like, hey, you can't roll out here with
your glasses on, and I said, well, as soon as
I wake up, like I can't see, So he put
my glasses in his pocket. I thought that was super
nice of them. I don't remember getting them back, but
i'd get them back because.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
They record a video of me.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
I don't remember that video even me had taken and
they're like, okay, so they they put a couple, they
put the needle in my hand for IVY and so
they're like, you're not gonna remember anything, and from that
point nothing. I just remember waking up, no way, nothing.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
And did they do a countdown or anything or just
that's crazy. They might have done a countdown, but I
don't remember. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
I remember when I was five years old and I
had to go to the hospital, i'd rupture my spleen
very serious. I remember the mask and the countdown that
they put on me. That's one of my first memories
is a mask going over my head and they're like,
we're going to count you back from one hundred. You're
going into surgery, ninety nine gone tonight and nine and
I don't remember this one at all.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
Wow. So rolled out and the doctor's like, here's out.
How it's gonna be. It's gonna be a couple of months,
maybe even three months before you have it again. This
is post post surgery. Did it hurt immediately, No, because
you're out. It didn't hurt at all, even yesterday because
I was on pay medicine. Really today it really got me. Yeah,

(13:57):
because he decided not to take your pay down. And
I Will was like, oh, I can move around a
little now. It's what you do.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
Yeah, it's it's And I set at the bar and
let my feet hang the bar in your kitchen.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, got it? Yeah, what do to you? Wats? Then
I let the blood get to it and it just
bounds like crazy.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
I watched a bunch of college football, obviously, I gotta
tell you, not really a great weekend for football. Not really.
It's in general, and your razorbacks weren't playing. They weren't playing.
But we didn't lose. We played basketball. We lost. I
saw that. Yeah that sucked.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah it's a close game. Yeah it was a good game.
It gets a good team. But it just wasn't like
the most football fascinating weekend. His college is fine, NFL.
I''ll tell you not much that much going on. Cowboys
aren't playing. Yeah, not much to look forward to. A
crappy weekend. Yeah, so yeah, that's what's up.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
I'm here though, you're here, You're alive, yeah, and you're
gonna get well soon. I pulled a story because.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
When we go to Vegas, we're not as good as
we once were, but we could be that good one
more time if we needed to. As Toby Keith said, yeah, yeah, yeah,
And so I love to play craps.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
If I play again, I don't play much. When I
was younger, I played a lot. I played a lot
of black jack, a lot of poker, some craps, And
if you can get on a hot craps table, it
is the greatest feeling because all these people you've never met,
you'll never spend another five minutes with the rest of
your life. You have nothing in common with, but you
are a unit. At that moment. You guys are having
the time of your life. There's a real connection. You're

(17:17):
giving hugs and fives five five, And it's hard.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
To catch a hot craps table, but when't you do,
it's memorable because it's all winning. The thing about craps
is easy comiesy go mm hmm. You can sit down
with a few hundred bucks and it can be gone
so quick. Or if you hit just for a bit,
you can be up so much. And read the story
a grandma named Patricia de Mario walking to the brigade

(17:41):
in Atlantic City. She had one hundred bucks, just her
and a friend. She broke a world record. She finally
got the dice when it came to her. They went
back and looked at the security footage afterward, she rolled
one hundred and fifty four times over four hours and
eighteen minutes, what without losing? Whoa It was the longest
craps roll ever.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
She rolled for over four hours without hitting a seven.
That's amazing except on the come out roll of course,
of course, crap crapping out or whatever. Can you imagine
the joy at this table, dude? And then and then like,
after thirty minutes, maybe fifteen minutes, you're thinking, all right,
here we go, because we're gonna start losing. After two hours,

(18:22):
you're still not losing four hours and eighteen minutes. The
problem here is there are some people that probably have
to leave. You gotta leave, man, yep, because it's not
even that they have to leave because of the winning.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
Because I got an hour to go play. I got
two hours to go play. Some of them are drunk,
some of them have dinner plans. If you're hitting and
it's over an hour, and I've gotten into arguments with
people about this long. We have an appointment, an appointment,
a reservation, yeah, a show to go to yeah, And
I'm like, I can't leave the table. The granny's hot
right now. There had to be so many people that
got into fights after this because they wouldn't leave the table.

(18:55):
Does it say how much like that table gave out? No,
but it says thee of that happening were one and
one point five to six trillion. That's amazing to roll
one hundred and fifty four times over four hours and
eighteen minutes without losing.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
So I think it's amazing when that what do you
call the small, big, small, tall, large? When you hit
all the numbers? Oh yeah yeah yeah on the top,
big and tall, big and small one. I think they
have different names. But yes, I think it's amazing when
that hits. I hit one last time and I don't
always better hit one last time. Yeah, so this is unbelievable, okay,
granny Yeah?

Speaker 4 (19:30):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
Do you see where Mark Sanchez was fire from Fox?
No official done, done, Zoe. And I think like his
family was mad that he got fired like that. You
what do you expect like what happened? Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
They must now feel confident that he was so at
fault in the wrong.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
This is just me speculating here. Yeah, they must now
feel so confident that he was solely at fault that
they can fire him without fear of p repercussion. Did
you didn't you feel like you were pretty confident that
he was all that you've seen. Yeah, but I don't
feel like i've seen the full three sixty Yeah, I
haven't seen all the video.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
Like I've watched him like looking like a zombie walking
down the streets of Indianapolis. I've seen the older man
in the hospital. I've seen him in the hospital. I've
seen report, but I've not actually seen it. So I
don't know. They must have enough knowledge because they're just
protecting themselves at this point, even by keeping them on.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
But that's why he was fired and they were upset.
But like, don't the companies have to do, like say,
this is going on ongoing investigation. I think the court
case is in December, coming up maybe next month? Done?
The company kind of have to pay if, like say
you can't work, you're on administrative pay, right, I administrative
pay is visibility. But is that what it is like

(20:43):
when you're probably I don't know. So they would have
to pay him just to keep him on while this
is going on. Oh so if he okay, so if
he was there doing a game, yeah, that's why he
was there, right, that's a great point. They would have
to keep paying him.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
I'm sure wouldn't be so much that would affect their
bottom line though probably not. But you're right, if he
goes and gets hurt while you're while he's there's gonna
have to be some money there. Right, that's interesting. And no,
I don't think that's it. I think they just didn't
want to get sued way later.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
But yeah, he was fired. Did you see the story
about the Cleveland the Cleveland Indians picture guardians pictures? Yeah,
both two pictures, right, Yeah, what is happening?

Speaker 1 (21:25):
The fact that they were only making five thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
I didn't know they were making five thousand. I mean
I saw that the total bet was Uh. I think
the money that I guess they won from those bets
was like four hundred and fifty thousand.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
So every time they throw a ball they got paid
five thousand bucks.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
Whoa both of them? Okay, one of them had a
twenty million dollars contract. Yeah, it's crazy, dude. So is
this going to be a thing where we're just going
to get more stuff?

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Yeah, well it's there are more people involved in it,
of course. But I would say this, there have been
so many people involved in this, but because it wasn't legalized,
we never knew about it because there were no flags
to put up. But now it's flagged immediately because it's
legal now. Yeah, so as soon as something seems off,
like the UFC fight last week, as soon as something

(22:14):
seems off, and it's going to be a massive story
where there were probably things like this happening. Maybe not balls,
because I don't know that every bookie was was doing
live in game bets. You did to be sitting with
your bookie doing live in game so even the prop bets,
because that's what these were.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
These were boss strike props, right, No, I think just
pitches next pitch what we were doing at the Cubs game,
we for sure were. And let me tell you the
UFC stuff. They fixed it because I I did well
this weekend. Wo oh. So you think the only reason
you lost is because dude, how is it that they
all of a sudden have a gambling thing going on? Oh,

(22:54):
FBI is involved, and then the week after I started
hitting all my bets again, Uh huh, what's the correlation here? Well,
they were rigging it, dude, So they were rigging it.
So they rigged it so you would lose, not just
for me, but for all the people that kind of
watch UFC and know what's up. It's holding you back. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
They were getting paid five thousand bucks every time they
threw a ball, and they had one of the guys
had a twenty million dollar contract.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Like he was putting himself with that much. Gosh, that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
I got a lot of feedback over your race car interview.
Oh did you I can read you some of them?

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Is it good?

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Just finished listening to Eddie's podcast. We're in Fresno.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Hold on? No, no, no, what why are you holding on? Wait?

Speaker 1 (23:36):
I gotta find it? There we go, we're in Fresno. Well,
because I accidentally hit the thing where it shows you
like a carousel up with the songs.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what. It just
it flips between them and plays some songs. Yet it
flipped on me and I was like, why why did
it flip? What pictures? Well, it's all ice screenshot at
all of your images? Got it? Got it? The people
had sent me from DMS and what song did it pick?
I turned it off and he sort of playing tom
That's why I was like, hold on hold on, hold on,
okay Eddie, and and okay and wait let me get

(24:08):
through it. Haha.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Nonetheless, I actually enjoyed his interview. I'd say he had
solid questions, but as soon as the interview started. On
the interview, I couldn't stop laughing what I think they
mean when we.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
Started, Oh yeah, yeah, spell check exactly. You're gonna be
a critic. Here's another one.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
The voice he was using was definitely peto edo what
it went downhill a bit after Eddie asking me about socks.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
Oh, that was funny. I just asked if he wore
if he was sock shoe, socks shoe when he puts
him on. Yeah, because he says he likes everything kind
of the same way every time he gets in his car,
like everything I do, like a seatbelt goes on first,
and I got to do the wheel, the staring with like,
so I asked, like, are you are you a weirdo?
Like do you do socks shoes, socks shoe, socks shoes?
Like no, No, he did laugh at that question. He

(24:57):
did laugh.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
Eddie did a good job on the interview. We started
off at touch exuberant in the beginning, but once he
settled exuberant. The interview was smooth and flowed nicely. Eddie
did a great job, but he did stutter a few times.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
Nothing bad. Oh my gosh, here's what from Tracy van Vliet.
We're from? It does?

Speaker 1 (25:13):
I haven't got there. I don't know, Bobby. I thought
Eddie did a great job of the interview. I got
into Nascar. Oh, I'm not into Nascar, but he made
the details part interesting without being too technical. He also
brought in the human side, which was fun in random
But my daughter and I took your advice and placed
to bet for Arkansas win the national championship of basketball.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
That has nothing to do with it, but that's cool.
That's cool though. Yeah, thank you. So overall, I would
say they gave you a solid b Yeah. I'll take it.
I'll take it. I mean, and although the criticism was
very nitpicky, but I get it. It's fine. We asked,
we asked for it. You asked for it.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Yeah, we'll come back and talk college football with Brandon

Eagles at Packers, aj Brown more or less than fifty
six receiving yards. He has not been getting the looks

(26:37):
or the catches that normally you would expect, but I
think they're gonna have to score against the Packers. I'm
gonna go more than fifty six receiving yards. I'm gonna
go more with Saquan of seventy four rushing yards, and

All right, let's get over and talk with Brandon Marcelo
from CBS Sports and twenty four seven Sports. Brandon was
at the Texas A and M win over Missouri, so
we'll talk about that. In Texas A and M not sucking.
Usually they start sucking about this time, they're not sucking
at all. Follow Brandon Marcelo on Instagram at Brandon Marcelo.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Here he is Brandon Marcello.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Hey, I was reading your article about Texas A and M,
and I, like you wrote, I'm very surprised to not
see them flounder as November hits.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
Why is this team different, Brandon?

Speaker 5 (28:26):
Well, Number one, Jimbo Fisher isn't the coach or Kevin someone.
But also they're just really well built in the trenches.
They've done a great job in the portal, but also
with some of the holdovers of talent that was recruited
under Jimbo Fisher.

Speaker 6 (28:41):
Remember a few years ago.

Speaker 5 (28:42):
They had the best recruiting class ever that's ever been rated,
according to twenty four to seven Sports, and there's still
some pieces there from that. Also, Marcel read the quarterback
is just phenomenal. I don't think he's getting enough kind
of recognition and push out there. He's really improved as
a pass this year. He's a little bit more patient
in the pocket. Last year he was just taking off

(29:04):
and running quite a bit. This year that hasn't really
been the case. And you know, I think that that
early season win against Notre Dame is really what kind
of got their their motor running. And they're just they're
clicking on all cylinders. They're undefeated. They're six and two
in Mike Elko's two years on the road, and it's
a complete flip from what the previous resumes have been

(29:25):
there in college station.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
How would you rank them with the three Ohio State, Indiana,
and Texas A and M.

Speaker 5 (29:32):
I would probably still put A and M at three
right now, just because of what Indiana has done to
practically all but two opponents, just absolutely blowing them out.
He had a rally of course against Penn State this week,
which was a crazy ending of the game. And Ohio
State just seems to be more complete, especially defensively. And
you know, I know the College Football Playoff Committee chairman

(29:53):
actually said last week that the differentiator there from A
and M between those two Ohio State and Indie was
the defense. And if you look at the numbers, they're
exactly right. A and M's defense is just kind of
average in some of those numbers and they got to
improve on that. And even in their big win against
Missouri this week where they won by twenty one, they
still allowed several explosive plays, especially on the ground, and

(30:15):
it's that lack of consistency that could probably end up
coming up and biting them here when they play a
tougher opponent.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
What does this mean from Missouri?

Speaker 1 (30:22):
They weren't expected to win, but they weren't expected to
get routed at home.

Speaker 5 (30:25):
Yeah, it's the writings on the wall as far as
like what the program has been the last two to
three years. You know, they beat everybody they're supposed to,
and then the teams that they're equal to, maybe a
little bit below, they just can't beat under Eli Drinkle,
which right now they're zero to three against ranked teams
this season, similar record last year. It's just whenever they

(30:47):
get the type of games that you need to win
at home, they can't do it. Alabama earlier this season
and now Mazoo both at home. You got to split
those two if you want any hope of getting in
a playoff, and a great team should be able to
do that. One thing I hurt Missou I should say
is that you know they play their third string quarterback
as a starter because of injuries, a true freshman and

(31:10):
Matt Zalerz who you know, you only completed seven passes
against A and M. And that's the lowest amount of
pass completions by a Missouri quarterback since I think twenty sixteen,
So you know, it wasn't really gonna be their day
potentially anyway. But even when they've been healthy and had
a lot of pieces together, they just they can't get
that top twenty five win they need.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
I always like to see a team play after their
coaches fired, and we got to see Auburn play. I
don't know how much of that you got to watch,
because that game ended up being way more of a
game than I thought it would be. Were they a
talented team that plays better without their head coach or
were they just a fired up team that really didn't
have personnel in their playoff of motion?

Speaker 6 (31:49):
I it's both.

Speaker 5 (31:49):
Actually, I think that Hugh Freeze just absolutely held them
back offensively, and you saw that. I mean, Vanderbilt's pretty
good defensively, and for Auburn to go on the road
and score you know, thirty eight points in regulation by
far their best point total against an SEC opponent all season.
That tells you something was going on with the play calling.
Auburn's super talented offensively, They're one weakness offensively is the

(32:12):
offensive line. They've got a receiver room that could have
been top five in the in the country this year
and they didn't utilize them correctly. They've had a bench there,
one point five million dollar quarterback and bring Ashton Daniels
in as a starter. But I will say, like the
one issue I had, the big issue I had with him,
is that, you know, Dj Dirkin, their defensive coordinator, takes

(32:34):
over as head coach, and it's the defense that sucked Saturday.
It was the offense that I mean, it's almost like
they went, Okay, we got to fix this offense, and
Dj Dirkin like put all of his eggs in that
basket thinking his defense would hold hold their own, and
they absolutely didn't. So let's see how they respond these
next couple of weeks. But when you get this late

(32:55):
in a season and you change coaches, teams usually show
a little bit more of what they could be in
that initial game that afterward, but they always if they're
in a tight game, they lose it almost certainly the
same way they've lost games all season, and that's kind
of what happened with Auburn against Vanderbilt there in overtime,

(33:18):
and and you even saw it with Arkansas, and you've
seen it with LSU. Like just a certain types of
losses continue for those programs no matter who the coach
has been.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
I was watching a lot of Auburn Twitter and they
are very passionate about DJ dark in one way or
the other. Is there any shot he's in now the
top five to get that job?

Speaker 6 (33:38):
Yeah? I think so. Yes, I think he was beforehand.
I think he still is.

Speaker 5 (33:45):
He's definitely not number one, I can tell you that,
especially with two Lanes John Summer all doing so well
and beating Memphis on the road this week. You know,
Memphis had won to I think eleven straight at home,
and they went in there and and and beat them.
And he's going to be up for a lot of jobs,
or several jobs, or would say including Arkansas, But I

(34:06):
think Auburn's the one that just makes a lot of
sense for them, for both parties. And I think for
Dirk and though for him to rise in that top five,
he's going to have to win his last two games,
and that includes beating Alabama.

Speaker 6 (34:20):
They're at jord and Here Stadium.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
You had kal as your most impressive win this week
as they beat Louisville.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
That's a pretty tough loss for Louisville, right.

Speaker 5 (34:29):
Oh yeah, definitely. And the ACC is just an absolute
mess right now. There's like what five teams with one
loss in the standings and at good Luck trying to
figure out who's going to be in Charlotte for their
a SEC championship game. I was really high on Louisville
after the way they beat Miami. Jeff Brawm, I think
is still like one of the top fifteen coaches in
the country, but that the way they lost that game,

(34:51):
especially late, like the late game clock management was dreadful.
In regulation when they're trying to drive down the field,
they couldn't do anything. They threw a ball when they
shouldn't have in the middle of the field and it
burned clock and they didn't have any timeouts remaining very
just kind of head shakingly bad loss, not just because
of the result, but also how they got there, how

(35:13):
they lost that game. But cal Jks, their quarterback has
been phenomenal all season, and you know you've seen them
clawing their way and potentially going to have a breakthrough
at some point. But I was shocked that it ended
up being against Louisville. I thought it'd be someone more
mid tier in the ACC.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
The Texas Tech BYU game ended up, I think how
a lot of people felt it would end up. But
when I was watching that didn't watch all of it,
it did look like Texas Tech physically was.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
A dominant team over BYU. Did you feel the same.

Speaker 5 (35:40):
Yeah, you know, Tech is just going to be Tech's
got the most talented roster in the Big twelve. I
want to see their offense, though, be more explosive. I
got to see more of them through four quarters before
I can say they will be a threat in the playoff.
There's just so much more there that they could be
tapping into. You know, there's a couple of team teams
like that that are in the playoff hunt right now

(36:02):
will probably will be in the playoff. Texas Tech offensively,
and same with Oregon offensively, it just seems like they're
just not hitting on all the cylinders that you're expecting
with all the pieces they have, And I'm really curious
to see how they do in their last two to
three games and whether they can kind of rev things
up more because if Tech just gets to a point

(36:22):
where you know they've they're following two drives short, like
like gets Tech watching that game, like, I felt like
there's like two more drives there where they had touchdowns.
You can't do that every single week in advance in
the playoff.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
Oregon and Iowa was an ugly game, and that's the
kind of game that I felt like Iowa wants to play,
and I think, you know, Oregon just outrained them. They
kicked a field goal at the end whenever I think
they were maybe the three or the five, they had
drive ninety something yards in order to I was like,
there is Iowa doesn't drive ninety yards. So Iowa's always
played that same style of ball. Though, Are they going

(36:58):
to have to completely change full administration to throw the
ball to have an offense that can go ninety yards
because you kind of knew they wouldn't win that game
when it got close, right, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (37:08):
I mean it's gonna take a whole new coaching staff
for that to change, and that's not coming anytime soon.
It looks like, you know, it's funny, you know, I
have a writer friend up there who like it almost
like I always tease them, like every summer he's like, hey,
things are gonna be a little bit different the offense
year this year.

Speaker 6 (37:23):
I go, No, it's not. They're gonna keep running the ball.

Speaker 5 (37:27):
They're not gonna throw the ball often, they're not gonna
do any hurry up. So it's like, oh, I'm telling
you they're they're speeding things up a little bit this year.
You're gonna you're gonna be No, it's the same old,
same old, And hey it's Kirk Ferrets wins that way.
But you know, you know, going into this past week,
Iowa was in a great position. They've been playing very
well and they had orgon this this past week and

(37:48):
then they would go to USC two teams in the
playoff on themselves, and if Iowa won both of those,
Iowa would be in the playoff, which I don't think
a lot of people saw. And you know, they're one
kick away against Oregon from getting one of those two
steps done. But now those hopes are over.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Let's go playoff. USC wins. How do you feel about
USC making playoff.

Speaker 6 (38:10):
Not very consistent?

Speaker 5 (38:12):
I still think maybe Iowa could even beat them, even
though they Iowa has to go all the way across
the country. There will be obviously a lot of resume
comparisons to be made within the Big Twelve, and also
especially with USC against.

Speaker 6 (38:27):
Independent Notre Dame. With Notre Dame winning that head to
head Notre Dame.

Speaker 5 (38:31):
Being a two loss team, some interesting conversations will have
to be had there. You know, I think USC is
like one of those teams, much like BYU this past week.
We kind of just sit there and expect. We're expecting
them to lose at some points. We're not really discussing
them as a playoff potential, but they could do it.
Jade Miyava the quarterback is great, but they still lead

(38:54):
a little bit more to be desired defensively for me.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
What about the three SEC teams with Vandy, Texas, and Oklahoma,
any of them have a shot to get in?

Speaker 2 (39:04):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (39:04):
Yeah, most definitely. And I think the most interesting conversation
we might end up having is what happens if Vanderbilt
finishes with only two losses and Texas has two losses,
or the more interesting one, Texas has three losses but
they have a head to head and win against Vanderbilt.

Speaker 6 (39:25):
Is there a potential there.

Speaker 5 (39:26):
We might see a discussion about three loss Texas getting
in over Vanderbilt, a two loss team.

Speaker 6 (39:32):
I think that's something we got to discuss.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
Also, Texas have any that way to come.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
They head to head over Oklahoma too, kind of a
rasist if they're even Texas just gets it right.

Speaker 6 (39:42):
Right, Yes, I think so. Let's but also, you know,
we gotta watch what happens in the Big Ten.

Speaker 5 (39:46):
You know, the Big Ten I said in the preseason
and I kind of continue to say it. They look
like a three bid league. The ACC looks like a
one bid league. Big twelve looks like a one bid league.
And if that continues, that's really going to help the
SEC out.

Speaker 1 (39:59):
Have you heard it anything regarding any of the spots
coaching wise, because we could start at Wisconsin it looks
like they.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Will not be hiring a new coach.

Speaker 5 (40:05):
Yeah, Wisconsin sticking with Luke Fickele. They made that official
this past week. Nothing really too groundbreaking on the coaching
carousel as far as candidates. You know, I keep reminding
people it's still super early. They're still vetting out guys,
still talking to agents and everything, trying to get a
feel of where the chessboard might move here over the

(40:28):
next few weeks. Again, I think, you know, the second
to last week in November, and especially that last week
of November, things will really start heating up when you'll
finally hear probably here like that there's three guys in
the mix here at this job or two here where
this is the number one target. But with some of
these jobs that are open, you know, especially like in
Auburn with John Summer all in Tulane, there's some very

(40:52):
clear like leaders right now in those jobs, like James
Franklin of Virginia Tech. But now there's a name people
are going to start paying more to to is Bob
Chesney out of James Madison. He's someone that could be
very much involved in a couple of jobs, especially Virginia Tech.
But it all depends on what these coaches and their
agents say over the next few weeks.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
I saw the picture of the James Madison coach, supposedly
at Virginia Tech getting off the plane.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
I don't know what to believe anymore at all.

Speaker 5 (41:18):
It's fake, it's actually I looked at that. It's actually
a photo of him getting off the plane for their
game this past week.

Speaker 6 (41:25):
It's not. It's someone just took the picture and said
just I.

Speaker 5 (41:30):
Mean, you can put any word under anything nowadays and
some people will believe as long as it catches fire.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:34):
The message board post said like, my wife works at
the airport and took this picture, and I was like,
that's enough.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
Proof for me. I guess it looks like it's about
to happen.

Speaker 5 (41:43):
No, Nope, just getting off the plane for game day
or the day before the game traveling.

Speaker 1 (41:48):
Who would you say the two or three coaches are
that have really moved up into the conversation to get
one of these jobs, because you just mentioned one from
James Madison and North Texas has a guy as well.
But who would you say those coaches are They are
now in that mix.

Speaker 5 (42:00):
You know, like John Sumral as I mentioned, Eric Morris,
Bob Chesney. You know, it's interesting we're not talking a
lot about coordinators potentially, but there's gonna be some coordinators
that will have to fill these jobs because there's gonna
be so many. So like a Will Stein at Oregon,
who's the offensive coordinator, there is someone to watch. And
then even some former head coaches who are out of

(42:21):
the game. Uh, former Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald. He's gonna
get back in and he's gonna be a candidate somewhere.
You're gonna hear his name come up at some point
this year. But the names that you've kind of been
here in the last couple of weeks is really the
ones that just continue to kind of gain buzz. I

(42:43):
want to be surprised. Another name out there that maybe
we'll catch more heat is Colin klein Uh, the offensive
coordinator at Texas A and M, who, of course was
previously at Kansas State and Kansas State alum former quarterback.
I think he's someone who's fast on the right and
might get some nibbles as well.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
All right, two final questions.

Speaker 1 (43:04):
I'm hearing nothing about John Gruden anymore, not that I
ever thought that was really real. He mentioned he'd love
the coach in the SEC, and I watch all of
these SEC Twitter teams and clubs, and there's really not
a lot of Gruden rumors anymore.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
Do you think he'll end up in college football as.

Speaker 6 (43:20):
Of right now?

Speaker 5 (43:20):
No, I don't see it, and I haven't heard his
name come up even among like top three candidates as
some of these jobs. But also remember a lot of
the jobs that are open right now are Power Conference teams.
And my question for John Gruden now, and I haven't
spoken to him in over a year, but when I
spoke to him about a year ago and he's talking

(43:42):
about maybe coaching college football, it didn't strike me that
he'd be ready and willing to go coach a group
of five or group of six school And that might
be what's.

Speaker 6 (43:50):
On the table for him if he really wants to
get into it. I mean, if he really.

Speaker 5 (43:53):
Wants to be a college football coach, that's probably how
he's going to have to start things. I mean, I
know we've see these celebrity coaches, as we try to
call him, like Deon Sanders or Trent Dilfer, you know,
get jobs, But Dilfer had to get in a group
of six and Deon Sanders is just different from everybody
else because of his pedigree. And for that matter, Deon

(44:13):
Sanders coach Jackson State for a couple of years. He
had to work his way up even to Colorado. So
I don't think John Gruden could just jump into it
and expect to get a job like say Bill Belichick did.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
Let's finish on a Heisman question, any chance a defensive
player can win it this year.

Speaker 6 (44:28):
I don't see it.

Speaker 5 (44:30):
I know there's some increasing chatter about that, especially at
Texas Tech, but I don't see it. I think it's
gonna be a quarterback award this year, especially after what
Fernando Mendoza did this week leading Indiana down the field
in that final drive and throwing that touchdown pass that
have be reviewed in the back of the end zone.
I think Mendoza just had his Heisman moment. I think
he's the favorite right now, and I'm sure it is

(44:52):
in the betting books too. I think Marcel readt A
and M about washing Person this week. He's gonna continue climbing.
If A and M wins out this regular season, I
think Marcel Ree could very well be maybe the runner
up finisher there. But to me, right now, this award
is coming down to the two quarterbacks that are undefeated

(45:12):
in the Big Ten, Fernando Mandoza and Julian Saying at
Ohio State.

Speaker 6 (45:17):
And it'll be interesting to watch.

Speaker 5 (45:20):
But I will say this, I think this has probably
been the dullest Heisman Trophy race in recent memory that
I can remember.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
Yeah, That's why I asked if you thought a defensive
player had a shot this year because again it feels
like every week there's a couple of guys that go
up a little, they'd go down a little, but there
really hasn't been except for before the season started, an
absolute favorite. And before the season started, none of those guys,
the nuss Meyers, the arch Mannings, the DJ Lagways, the
South Carolina, none of those guys are in the mix now.

(45:49):
So it's just kind of been a weird year for
the Heisman.

Speaker 5 (45:51):
Yeah, and yet DJ Lagway he was benched this week
at Florida and they lost. You know, of course Florida
of course don't have a coach anymore. But like it's
rleble out. The preseason pronostications now are more wrong than ever.
It's because of the transfer portal in IL. You just
don't know what to expect these rosters. I don't know
the exact numbers, but I mean, you know, we had

(46:11):
the number two team go off to the worst first
eight or nine game stretch in college football history, Penn State.
He had Clempson, the top ten team who some people
picked to win the national champ ship this year, absolutely
fall apart. Florida State rising quickly into the top twelve
after being Alabama and just looking like an absolute shell

(46:31):
of its former self. It's it's more difficult than ever
to try and put a finger on what a team's
going to do, and, for that matter, what an individual
is going to do.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
As often say, it's hard to finger the heisman all
the time, all the time. All right, Brandon, thank.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
You, buddy. We'll talk to you soon, my Brandon Hey.
Final segment, how did you feel about the Cowboys playing
Cowboys playing win on all Sunday? What do you mean
they didn't play? No, I didn't they didn't play, So

(47:08):
I didn't do anything. Yeah, you had you feel about that?
That's cool. I mean, do you like it or do
you not like it? I like the week off? Yeah? Yeah,
And now I don't have to worry if they want
or loss. You could dude, that like last week. That
carried that carried on for two days, two days, the heartache,
and then finally I got over it the Cardinals game. Yeah,
stupid dude.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
Well, Arkansas didn't play either, and we've been losing a lot.
And I think when we're winning, or if I think
we have a chance to win, I don't like the
off week I really didn't mind it.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
Oh yeah, and maybe it's good to.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
Be a basketball game that night. I had something to
really look forward to. But then we lost that too.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
Yeah, but I did think about that, and I thought, like,
is that part of the scheduling, Like, Okay, their football
team has a buy though, Okay, because that's perfect and
they even they even promoted it all week. Yeah. Arkansas
Michigan State, that's a big early Yeah college basketball game.
You still like how they look? Yeah? They play well, Yeah, dude,
it's their first away game. It's like their second game

(48:03):
of the year.

Speaker 1 (48:04):
We went into Michigan State hostile environment, and I thought
we should have won the game.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
But I thought you were going to want win the game.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
I think cal our head basketball coach, has scheduled every
Elite eight team from last year we're playing we're playing
them this year, which is crazy.

Speaker 2 (48:18):
No one's ever done the history of basketball. Why would
he do that.

Speaker 1 (48:20):
He wants to play big teams. He's like, let's get
us ready, We're not going to go in, and I'll
be ready here. I Am going We're not going to
go in if we keep losing all these games. Used
I watched a bunch of college football parts of a
bunch of games because again with my foot messed up,
I really wasn't able to move around.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
Big ten football looks so slow compared to SEC. Maybe
it's just they have more white guys per eleven. That's funny.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
That could be it, because the more white people in
the eleven, the slower you are. And like I watched
Indiana and I watched the Indiana Penn State game and
they just look slow.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
They won. That's interesting. I wonder why. I think it's
the way the more white people you have, the slower
you are. A slower That's really what I feel. Their
quarterback looks slow, like he had that that passes the
end of the game.

Speaker 1 (49:10):
Uh, like Marcello said, it's heisman a moment, but he
looks slow and he was running the ball a lot.
And their coach Signetti he's only likable as a caricature.
He's not likable as a person. Yeah, because even before
the game, they were like, hey, so Penn State's never
won here. And he he reminds me of I don't

(49:33):
want to say he reminds me of, but because he
does remind me of somebody, Okay, he reminds me of
somebody he's like, grabs a micer gets close to it.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
He goes, yeah, but this team's never played here. They
like walks off. It's like, dude, we already know you're good.
You don't have to convince us. You have to be hard.
And then like after the game, there was he he's
just so like in your.

Speaker 1 (49:53):
Face, but not like cool in your face, like he's
trying to prove something in your face.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
But he wins, so he is proving something. Yeah. I
don't think Signette he's not likable. I think he's funny.

Speaker 1 (50:01):
I like him for what he brings to college football
and what he brings to Indiana.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
They're not a it's not a football school. No it's not.

Speaker 1 (50:07):
It's a basketball school. Yeah, it's awesome. So I root
for Indiana because of that. As a human, I don't
want to have dinner with that guy. I want to
hang out with them, But I think what he brings
the football is really good.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
I made a couple other notes. J. J. McCarthy sucks.

Speaker 1 (50:21):
Yeah, yeah, dude, he almost got Justin Jefferson killed like
ten times in the game. As an ugly game anyway,
most of the games were ugly, But I think they
were slow soft benching him.

Speaker 2 (50:32):
Before they let it before let him come back.

Speaker 1 (50:33):
Yeah, like Carson Wentz had to like fully have a
shoulder ripped off before he was JJ McCarthy sucks.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
Yeah, he's not. He's not very good that. It sucks
because you think that he did, like they did see
more in him, or that he was going to be
their their forever starter. But no, I don't think that's
going to be the case.

Speaker 1 (50:49):
Well, and Kevin O'Connell is the quarterback whisper in Minnesota,
so maybe they will get him to a place, but
he looks.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
Lost out there. And Josh McCown, his quarterback coach, went
to college with him. Did you just throw that in
a tan? Yeah? Yeah? How cool?

Speaker 5 (51:02):
Did that?

Speaker 2 (51:03):
I didn't have to do it in school with Josh Man? Yeah?
Did you know him? Nah? I never said, I never
met him. Another note I have is that the Bears
also suck, but they keep winning. I know, isn't that crazy?
And they're all comeback wins.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
Yeah, and again it's not like there were world beaters
and they beat a team that was great this this week,
but it doesn't matter. You get a Win's a freaking win.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
Yep. They Dart. I thought he died for a second.
Me too. Gosh, he's getting murdered.

Speaker 1 (51:28):
So the Bears are winning, and I think they kind
of suck the Giants. Jackson Dart is losing, but it's
kind of good.

Speaker 2 (51:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
I never really thought that he would have a successful
rookie campaign.

Speaker 2 (51:43):
Hey, did they all get fired or did I just
see a tweet when people were acting like it?

Speaker 4 (51:47):
No?

Speaker 2 (51:47):
I didn't. He didn't get fired acting like it though.
Did you see that too? Yeah? They were like he's out.
You ever saw that Jackson got a concussion? I like.
I like his style of play me too. I know,
I I don't like the necklace, but I love the silence.

Speaker 5 (52:01):
I know.

Speaker 1 (52:02):
You know that I was rooting for the Giants. I
was wanting the Giants to beat the Bears. But yeah,
I like Jackson Dart.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
Didn't I see it? Like? Did he just get it
like a hot girlfriend or something? Just get one just
popped up like he's dating somebody famous. I don't know, Mike,
would you google that?

Speaker 1 (52:17):
I don't know if it's true or not, but I've
seen plenty of tiktoks where people at ole Miss claimed
that they help them that he was like cheating on
his girlfriend.

Speaker 2 (52:26):
Oh okay, yeah, but he's not with that girlfriend though anymore. Right, Oh,
I don't know. I don't even know if he's dating anybody.
Who do you see? He's linked to a model named
Marissa Ayers. That's her? Yeah, dude, it's super hot. Popped
up on my Instagram. He was like official officially dating,
Like why am I on? This? Is this my algorithm?
I don't think they're officially dating this. Oh okay, anything

(52:48):
come to mind from the games you watched? No, just
I hit a couple of touchdown bets, which I haven't dude,
I've never hit those because it's so hard. I loved.
What I like to do is on the start of
Sun is pick one touchdown from every game, right, so
just one player to score a touchdown from every game,
and if I'm lucky, y'all hit one. That payout is

(53:09):
like twenty thousand dollars for like a dollar bet. Yeah,
and I finally hit two, just two. I was like,
you know what, I'm gonna go smaller this time. I'm
going to get two touchdown people. And they scored. They
both scored. Oh so you only did two? Overall? I
only did two overall and then you hit it, and
then I hit it. I want fifty bucks off that.
Off a dollar bet off a dollar bet because it
was like Rodriguez from the Commanders and Jenny's from the

(53:30):
forty nine ers. Did you bet on samusince day? Oh dude,
let me tell you. On Friday, Like Friday, I'd say
Friday at five o'clock, it was like almost sunset. I
got a beer. I was sitting outside my outside my backyard.
I just looked up. I told you, I don't look
up a lot, and I looked. I looked up to
the sky and dude, I'm not kidding. There was a

(53:51):
cloud in the shape of an S, A perfect S.
I've never seen a cloud in the shape of an S.
So I was like, what can that mean? And I
was just happen to be looking at DraftKings and I
saw that Sam Houston was playing Texas Tech in basketball.
I'm like, yeah, Texas Tech's are really good. Let me
just bet on them to cover. I bet Sam Houston

(54:11):
to cover. They covered. They played well against Texas Tech,
and then on Saturday they were playing Oregon State. I'm like,
no chance they're gonna beat Oregon State. I bet them
to beat Oregon State. They beat Oregon State because of
the s. Dude, I call it whatever it is, But
I saw that sign from in the sky, and I'm like,
this is it God's telling me to bet Sam Houston State.

(54:33):
I have a bet going on right now. It was
a five bet parlay. Did you see it in the sky?
I did not, But let me explain to you where
I am. So.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
I bet Jamiir Gibs any time touchdown score he hit,
got it, good, Pouka and Akua, anytime touchdown score, got it,
got it. Matthew Stafford two forty plus passing yards, got it.
Mac Jones two twenty plus passing yards, got it. The
only thing that I don't have is a Christian McCaffrey touchdown.
And I bet three hundred bucks to win twenty three
hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (55:02):
Or are we in that? We are? I believe like
eight minutes left in the game. Yeah, eight and a half, yeah, yeah,
eight twenty nine and they're down.

Speaker 1 (55:12):
Okay, they're down two touchdowns, but McCaffrey catches the ball
a bunch he does. So if everybody listening, if McCaffrey
ends up in a touchdown, I just hit for.

Speaker 2 (55:21):
Twenty three hundred bucks. That's huge. I did hit a
strong one. I didn't bet much Esterio. Well, I saw
that the one you sent me. Yeah, that was awesome. Yeah,
I hit that one too, But first a smaller value.
I bet a three team parlay. Is this one or
four hundred bucks? The last one was Indiana over? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (55:42):
Yeah, I had a Texas Tech money line, Georgia money line,
and then the over in the Indiana Penn State game,
which you just got. I bet five hundred bucks and
one fourteen seventy one.

Speaker 2 (55:51):
Dude, that is awesome. But I need I don't need Christian.
I don't need it. I would like to have Chris,
but you got to say it that way. I don't
want to, man, I need this. I don't want to.
Sometimes my kids will hear me saying like I need
this and there what do you mean? No, No, that's
going to be a core memory. Dead boys relax, whispering
to himself that he really needed a betting win. We're good,

(56:11):
We're good. What happened with your boys baseball team? Basketball?

Speaker 6 (56:14):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (56:15):
I thought it was baseball? Last time? Basketball? He made
the team did alright? Right? He made the team is awesome,
he's super pumped. But dude, I'm telling her, this whole
process has just been weird. It's been two weeks of tryouts,
very secretive, tape on the windows, no parents whatever, right,
and then the whole process of finding out if you
made the team was parents, we will send an email

(56:35):
out at ten thirty pm to everybody, to every Well,
they didn't say that. They just said they'll send an
email out notifying you of your kid made the team.
So if you didn't make it, you didn't get an email,
not sure because you got one. I got the email,
and then I looked at who else got the email,
you know, just to kind of see, and it's what
were they up there in the BCC they put other
parents in there? No, it's it was one of those
like to themselves, you know where it looks like that's weird.

(56:58):
They emailed themselves, but to all of us. And so
what was weird about the email? It said parents don't
communicate with other parents about this, And I was like,
what do you mean, Like, so to me, that's telling
me that they didn't tell everyone that they didn't make it.
Maybe the email just went out to the parents of
the kids that did make it? Don't talk about it

(57:21):
to any other parents. So I'm sitting at home on
Saturday night being like, who do I know? M like,
I know all the other dads, Like we go to
all the practices together.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
It would be weird to text want to be like,
did your kid make it? And they're like, I don't know,
but correct.

Speaker 2 (57:35):
And then I had one parent the next day like
it was like, you know, later in the afternoon text
me and say congratulations, I heard your son made it.
I don't know how to respond. I'm like, are we
supposed to be talking right now? Like did they make it?
Did you really hear that? You're just throwing some chum
out there to see who comes up. Maybe it was
the weirdest. This whole thing has just been so weird

(57:56):
to me, And I don't know why. I don't know
why middle schools sports has to be this weird. When
did they play? They played twice a week in their
first games in a couple of weeks. They travel at all, Yeah,
but it's all it's all local. I think the furthest travel.
They're playing Kentucky, one little tournament in Kentucky, but it's
like Kentucky near us yeah, so, like I don't know,

(58:17):
forty five minutes away, is he pumped? Super pumped? Dude,
he's so excited. But I think fifteen kids made it.
So I'm like, all right, you made the team, but
now it's time to make the starting the starting squad.
Do you think he will? I don't know. He's he's
really good. He's just short and so just depending on
on I think I think skills skill wise, like he's

(58:40):
he's probably in the top. But they they've got to
see a leader in him. They've got to see like
more than just like a pretty good ball handler. They
got to see like, all right, this kid's a good leader.
He'd be a good point guard. And then he'll he'll
be the starter. But we'll see, man TBD. You know
what I had that was really good was cherry barbecue sauce.
Really it's a cherry flat favorite barbecue sauce. I don't

(59:01):
know about flavored. I think I had cherries in it.
Really never heard of that. Yeah, well, what made you
think of that? A basketball? I think I was skipping
the topic. Basketball is around, cherries are around. I think
I was looking at the time a few things. My
foot's killing me, Yeah, dude, we gotta get some meds
in you, and it's hard to focus on anything I

(59:23):
want to know about your son. And then it just
kept going and I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I don't I
don't think you went too long. I think I just
don't have I don't have much. I got you, and
I'm thinking I need to get something in me. It'd
be good food, and then I thought barbecue. Yes, And
then I'm like, you know, we're about to.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
Wrap this up as anything else I want to say,
And for some reason it popped up. I've had some
cherry barbecue sauce. What did it taste like like cherry coke?

Speaker 2 (59:44):
But it tastes like barbecue sauce, had a hint of
cherry flavor and also had little cherries in it. That's cool.
It was really good. I didn't know if that was
like a common thing. Never never heard of that. My
wife had asked me a couple times, when you're gonna
come when you guys want when do you want it? Really? Like,
just say the time I'll come. Do you want me
to bring the blackstone and do the whole deal? You

(01:00:05):
have to ask? Probably not, because I have to run
a trailer for that. Oh yeah, probably not, probably not. Okay,
all right, weird done, Brandon. How'd you do this weekend?

Speaker 6 (01:00:16):
Come?

Speaker 4 (01:00:17):
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
I did all right? I hit a few, didn't hit
a bunch. That's not a good that's not a good weekend. No,
you didn't see the s in the sky? Got it? Yeah?
Any McCaffrey touchdown? Not yet they have the ball. At least.

Speaker 1 (01:00:30):
I have my fancy team too, Like it's just a
it's a double need.

Speaker 2 (01:00:34):
And I'm playing you. No, I'm not on that team.
I don't consider that like a real league. I'm be
honest with me either, dude, Like I know we all
playing it together, but it's like, I don't consider that
to be like a real league.

Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
There was a time when that was that was the
main league. And I don't ever want to play in
two leagues. I'm always a one league guy. But then
I got another league.

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
More money, Yeah, more stakes. Yes, that one feels like
it's really the real league. I get it. Oh, before
we before we we end it? What do we so?
We just need to can't city to win to make
some What do we need in our league? In our
money making league, money making money losing league. We've already
exhausted because Kantity didn't play. They're on bye, oh, they're

(01:01:15):
on by So we're done. We're done, which was weird
because we had two teams play each other. Yeah, and
then we Miami. But the good thing is I can't
believe Miami beat Buffalo, Yeah, because that means we have
to pay out. Buffalo though was winner. Oh so we
skipped that. Yeah, that's good. That's really good. I had
to think about that for a second. Yeah, that was it.
That was a big win. Yeah, Sophin's freaking beaten. All right.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
Love to have Christian McCaffrey touchdown. If you hear a scream,
that's probably me. If we hit that one, that's it.
We'll see you guys later on in the week.

Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
That's it. I'm done. I don't even know where we
are on the show. So Mike, have we done enough
for this account as the show?

Speaker 4 (01:01:51):
You're good?

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
All right, We'll see you guys next later in the week.
