Oh, December 21st, 2023, the Bristol boys are back being

(00:05):
bristly.
Lottie, Mack, Angry J, the commish, and the house finally,
the Donfather.
Donfather's got a little competition tonight.
We'll get into that in a minute.
Our main sponsor, Capital Securities,
we want to thank them.
I put a lot of preparation into this show tonight, guys.
And I really took the lead from my man at Capital Securities,

(00:26):
Joe Morello, who says you should have a life well planned.
Skygaze are brewing still on the docket, sending in checks.
We have a special guest here tonight, a one of a kinder.
We'll never get another guest like this.
I like to call him JMT0813.
He also goes by Champ Torres.

(00:49):
The champ is here.
The champ is here.
Shout out to Maury.
Shout out to Maury's.
Tessie of UBS Wealth Management for the Champ Torres
named Monica.
I was down in Florida with some friends this weekend,
and we met him at Ruth's Chris.
And instead of throwing us out, he tried to buy us dinner.

(01:11):
So thanks, Mo.
Mo, thank you very much.
Champ, so a couple weeks ago, I'm
watching the Eagles' Bills on a Sunday night.
Classic game, good for the NFL, down to the wire.
I was just excited.
I had that the juices were flowing when I was watching that game,
even though I don't root for either team.

(01:33):
Did you feel the same way watching that game?
That game was fun for me.
Why is that?
Are you an Eagle or a Bill fan?
I am a huge Jake Elliott fan.
Right now, C-senior.
C-senior!
C-senior!
Why?
It's just a kicker.
He has like one bar in a space.
Yeah, he kicks.
Jake Elliott kicks.

(01:54):
And we'll get to it.
But I came in first out of 173,655 people.
Well, that had you had to cash in for a couple thousand.
As I like to remind my kids a few times a day.
Yeah, we won.
We won.
So what's the payout on something like that?
And what's the buyout?

(02:14):
50,000 to one.
50,000 to one.
It was a $20 buy-in.
And the gross number was more money
than I ever thought I'd have.
So let's start from the beginning.
You bet on Fandals.
Is that what happened?
Tell me about it.
Draftkings.
So for the last couple of years, to scratch the itch

(02:38):
that we all have, I throw three games in.
Religiously.
I do some other things during the week, maybe.
Sh.
So I three games.
One o'clock games only, like $15.
I do four o'clock games because usually by 1.30, 2 o'clock,

(02:59):
my one o'clock team is out of the run.
So I want to have something to do in the afternoon.
So I have four o'clock games.
And then there's always a millionaire maker.
So you throw $20.
And you just close your eyes and you pick a team.
Close your eyes and pick a team.
And so that happened on my new favorite day, November 26, 2023.

(03:25):
Champ.
So let's speak in the beginning.
So you set that one line up for $20.
$20.
And then where is the rest of the day taken?
My brother-in-law, my partner.
We like to go on Sundays sometimes and watch football.

(03:45):
And so this Sunday, he called me around noon.
I was at the grocery store with my wife.
And he said, where are we going to watch the games?
And I hadn't talked to him in a couple of days.
And I said, all right, let's go.
What's you putting your lineup in at the grocery store?
Not until you called me to remind me that, oh my god,

(04:05):
we're going to want to watch football.
And I got to get my lineups in.
So I have a question, champ.
So was it one o'clock games, four o'clock games all Sunday?
Like what was the contest?
So this contest that DraftKings runs is one o'clock
and four o'clock games on Sundays.
And the goal is $1 million the first place.

(04:26):
Plus the story doesn't end here.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You said $1 million the first place.
A million.
But you said you came in first.
So champ, if I'm putting the pieces together.
I'm confused.
You took home a million?
A million, a million.
So what did you have to pick?

(04:48):
So the game is you pick from the one in the four o'clock game.
So I'm not sure exactly how many there are there.
Maybe eight games.
So you have 16 teams to pick from.
DraftKings gives you $50,000 in the salary cap.
You have to pick a quarterback, two running backs,
three wide outs, a tight end, a defense, and a flex.

(05:12):
And you spend that $50,000.
And there's 175,000 other people that
are picking these games.
My brother happens to be one of those guys.
I can't wait to sign a 20 and give it back to him.
He doesn't need it.
I know he doesn't need it, but I'd like to do that.
I can see it on the 20.

(05:33):
I'll take the 20.
You signed a 50 for me?
So you have to pick a different team than anybody else,
because I'm not sure.
I'm just thinking that most weeks there
are multiple people that have the same lineup.
Because that's a pretty crazy to have a different lineup

(05:56):
than that many people.
But for whatever reason, I had a different lineup
than every people that everybody else.
Lineups, end, grocery store, touch base with your boy.
Where's the first stop?
OK, so that was 12 o'clock.
By 1 o'clock, we were on our way to Veran Rondo in Cheshire.
They've got these shishito peppers that we love for lunch.

(06:18):
And so a couple of shishito peppers.
We couldn't even see the TVs, really,
because there were these two big, if you've ever been there,
the place is awesome.
There's these two big flower pots.
And they were a block of the TVs.
But we were OK with the shishito peppers
and listening to the game.
I've heard to put the places.
It's great.
It's great.
So we had an hour, hour and a half there, hung out,

(06:42):
decided that counterweight brewery right around the corner.
Next stop.
And that was the first time that Craig and I went.
Now, when I got in the car, I said to Craig,
the way I build my team is around one person.
You've got to get a stud.
You've got to pick the stud that week that
has more points than anybody.

(07:03):
And then from there, you just got to pick chances
and they got to win.
And so that day, for whatever reason,
I was like, Josh Allen, he's my guy today.
And so I get in the car with Craig.
And then what do I say?
Josh Allen to the promised land.
He's taking us to the promised land today.

(07:24):
Right?
You put in some kind of weird parlay on Josh Allen.
So listen, we get to counterweight.
And now, am I talking too much?
No, it's great.
So does counterweight have TVs?
Counterweight.
Listen, you got to go upstairs.
And this is where it gets better.
At some point, we left because we
were in the middle of a five-year-old birthday party.

(07:47):
After I had just put in a five-leg parlay,
which I forgot about, asked me about that
at the end of the story.
Couple hours in at counterweight,
I say, you know what?
Josh Allen is going to have a day today.
And I throw in a five-leg parlay.
Josh Allen has to run him in, throw him in, pass him in,
chuck him in, do everything.
And he's got to throw a lot of yards.

(08:10):
So next stop, Longhorn.
Well, we were thinking about going home.
We weren't sure at this point.
And we decided to go to Longhorn's steakhouse in South
ington.
Because as we were getting off, we were both kind of hungry.
And either of us were really ready to go home.
So we stopped into Longhorn's.

(08:31):
And we have a nice steak and a couple more beers.
And now the Bill's game is starting.
Still haven't checked my fantasy team because I forgot I had one.
We were having a great day.
My brother-in-law, I was like, so this is 425 because the Eagles
were, yeah, it was a six.
It's 425.

(08:51):
I've already had two places.
And now we're like, all right, time to go home.
Probably a good idea.
And Max's is on the way home.
So we had to stop at Max's.
He twisted my arm.
I didn't want to.
Right across from the worldwide leader.
Yeah, right across from the worldwide leader.
Go to Max's.

(09:12):
And after a beer or three, he takes me home.
And now I go upstairs.
I change.
And my wife is in.
And who encourages me to get out of the house.
And she's trying to do schoolwork.
And here comes me.
The champ.

(09:33):
What a day I'm at.
Right.
So what time are we looking at here now?
7.
OK, so we're talking fourth quarter, almost?
I don't know.
I still hadn't checked my fantasy team.
I hadn't looked at anything.
I go upstairs.
I change.
I sit down on the couch.
Five minutes.
I'm giving myself before I'm asleep.
And I'm in like 50th place or 40th place.

(09:55):
And then this happens and that happens.
And now I'm in 20th place.
And now I start to get loud.
And the needle moves, right?
And it's live scoring.
So I'm banging all over the place like a pinball.
And then my wife is, what are you yelling at?
And now I'm in the game, right?
A dozen IPAs deep?

(10:19):
The champ is here.
The champ is here.
I'm a dozen IPAs deep.
We've been ripping the medicinal pen.
I have a bad, such a bad back.
Call him as a killer.
Call him on a bad back.
So we're ripping that.
And then here's me.
And now I'm in the game, right?
Because all this stuff has to happen.
And now I'm in third place, fourth place.

(10:40):
I'm like, whatever.
And my wife is videotaping me.
And my son, who never comes out of his dungeon, his cave,
gamer up there, 14 years old.
I listen to this shit.
He's down on the couch.
The dogs are there.
And now my two kids are on FaceTime,
because I'm going nuts.
And my wife is watching the whole thing.

(11:01):
And there's so many different plays that had to happen.
That happened.
So you have other guys playing in other games, too?
I don't.
I don't.
The only one.
All the games.
So I'm watching as.
Oh, no, you're right.
You're right.
You're right.
You're right.
You're right.
You're right.
You're right.
You're right.
We'll talk about that at the end.
No, but I'm watching as the game is playing,
I'm watching player minutes remaining.

(11:22):
And so I'm seeing I've been I've played a lot of fantasy.
So I could I know what I'm looking at quickly
and who's got what.
And so now I'm like, this guy can only do this.
And it's in my head.
And I'm in there.
And so many things have to happen, right?
And I bet you I won't bore you with the details,
but a bitch of 10 or 12 things happened that you were like,

(11:43):
there's no way he's kicking a 59 yard field goal
in the pouring rain.
Yeah.
Right.
That was one of the 10 things that had to happen.
And you had Elliot?
No, but I needed Elliot to get it.
You needed overtime.
And then when I was done going nuts,
I look up at my TV and I see the guy from the bills
getting the ball.
And I'm like, let's go.

(12:04):
And Craig is on speaker because I was with him all day.
So I put him on speaker when this happened.
And at the end, when Jalen Hertz runs it in,
I knew that was it because that was the only thing that had.
The last thing that had to happen was Devonte Smith
couldn't catch a touchdown pass.
Jalen Hertz had to run it in.

(12:24):
Or Jake Elliott had to kick field goal.
And it was first and 10 from whatever.
And he gets a 15 yard touchdown run.
And my wife, who knows nothing about fantasy football,
I show her the phone and I say, is JMT 0813 on the top?
And she says yes.
Now, she doesn't even know I ever played fantasy sports.

(12:44):
Who's JMT 0813?
Whatever.
And I say, does everybody else have 0 by the PMR?
And she said yes.
And that's when I knew that I was in first place
and it was over.
Did you, during that crunch time, are you feeling excitement?
Are you feeling, are you nervous?
Are you scared?

(13:05):
I sobered up like that.
And I was in the game and I was so confident because so many
things.
Just as confident, yeah.
Oh my god.
When Elliott has to kick a 49 yard field goal in the rain,
I'm like, he is a good kicker.
I'm like, all right, he's a pro.
And then Kelsey fucking is off sides.
And I'm like, fucking Kelsey.

(13:28):
And then I'm like, all right, he's a good kicker.
And then Kelsey jumps off again and then 59 yards.
And I'm like, they're bringing Jalen Hertz back out
and this is a Hail Mary.
And I don't know what's going to happen.
And what happened to happen?
59 yarder.
Easy, too, right?
I just changed the subject real quick.

(13:50):
I saw Justin Tucker on an interview with Justin Tucker.
And he said that was probably the second best
kick he's ever seen.
History.
That's what I'm saying.
That's what I'm saying.
That's what I'm saying.
So many of those crazy things have happened.
And I got to plug the beard.
Listen, I'm plugging the beard, the power of the beard.
I started this for no shave November.
Never had a beard before.

(14:10):
And my luck in early November started to change.
And I've been on a hot streak ever since.
Tell them, Zyne.
So hot.
So what would you?
This guy's going to be his easy time next year.
So champ, what would it have been?
We know what the payout was for first.
What was second?
$100,000, which is an unbelievable amount of money.
It's an unbelievable amount of money for $20.

(14:31):
For $100,000.
But I was so.
Did you tell him how many points you won by?
I had 220.66.
And the person behind me had 220.16.
Oh my goodness.
Wow.
So did you know when it ended?
Did you know how much you were going to win?
Yes.
Well, I knew the front.
I knew the first part.

(14:51):
I didn't know the second part.
I didn't know there was an end, a ticket.
Because the story's not the story.
We're still writing the story right now.
Zyne are manifesting the next part.
Before we get to that next part,
are you getting nervous about Drabking's actually
sending you this money?
10 minutes.
What?

(15:12):
10 minutes.
That money was on its way to my account.
It was in my Drabking's account.
It has so many numbers.
It just said 1 plus up top.
I was like, holla.
So what's the first thing you do when you see that money come
in?

(15:32):
I'm saying the next day.
After you leave the bathroom.
Yeah, I hit refresh on my bank account.
I saw a solid 30 times, 20 times, because it was in transit.
I called the bank first thing in the morning,
and I said, hey, listen, I got a wire coming in.
Just keep an eye out.

(15:53):
It's for me.
And they did Webster Bank, holler at Webster Bank.
Every time I have refresh, mine goes down.
Amazing.
Well, me too.
That's why today was a special day.
So I just kept hitting the button.
Half a point.
You won by it.
0.5.
And all that stuff had to happen.
173,000 people.

(16:14):
So that's like a three yard loss, or a three yard game.
You can't need to wait.
I don't even know.
He had Pat Friarmyth or Harvey Sings.
Fire Rose.
He had the day of his life.
And he hadn't played in what, six weeks?
Yeah.
He had Kyryn Williams, who had the day of his life.
All he went with, bananas.
He had Ramondrae Stevenson, who had the day of his life.
Only because the giant's defense sucked.
Like everyone he picked, he nailed.

(16:36):
Nailed.
Do you know the guys?
I could probably remember.
You better put them on your refrigerator, dude.
They better go down in the air.
Yeah, no.
I thought about doing something.
I'm not sure what it's going to be.
I may try and get autographs from all of them.
I don't know.

(16:56):
I'll do something.
Some of those guys probably don't even make as much
as you made that night.
Kyryn Williams can't make that much of it.
What was the first thing you'd do with the money?
Have you done anything yet with it?
Little things here and there.
Listen, we're this weekend.
We had fun this weekend.
I went to Florida with Craig and a couple of buddies.

(17:18):
And we had some fun.
We definitely had some good stakes and some good golf.
And got a trip coming in January.
But we're not extravagant people.
We're going to do some of it.
Kidding college, too, right?
They got two in college.
They got one going to college.

(17:39):
We're going to do some good with it.
We're going to make sure we do some good with it.
Maybe sponsor up the, are we technically the Bristol boys?
Bristol?
Bristol, Bristol boys.
Maybe sponsor the Bristol boys.
I think I'm sure Champ Torres would
be happy to throw some cash at the Bristol boys.

(18:02):
Maybe buy you guys a battery so you
have to fucking unplug this thing and plug it back in every week.
Well, as it turns out, your good luck charm
is the one who put me onto this.
But Champ.
Well, he put you onto it.
But, Jimmy, can we buy a battery?
I heard that was a problem.
We have the batteries.
That's no good.
We like to plug it in.
Well, we could find something to do with the sponsorship money.

(18:23):
We're thinking about taking a show on the road down
Thomson to your good luck charm studio
and doing one time in the studio.
Perfect.
DGS production.
How did life change?
Has life changed for you at all?
I mean, like, how do you like, you know?
I went to work on Monday.
On Monday?
That's impressive.
I went to work.
That happened on Sunday.
I didn't go on Monday because you won.

(18:46):
Hey, listen, man.
So it happens, right?
I instantly sobered up.
After a day that was an epic day that was so much fun,
I instantly sobered.
There's always a downfall to the millionaire thing.
Listen, listen, man, if I find it, I don't know.
It's only been a couple of days.
But my buddy was away in Florida.

(19:08):
And so that happened.
And I had to go let his dogs out.
So I got to his house.
And I took a couple of beers out of his fridge.
And I sat in his hot tub.
I let his dogs out.
I sat in his hot tub for maybe a half hour.
And I called my mother.
And I called my brother.
And my father-in-law.
I just called a couple of family members.

(19:30):
And I'm like, you guys are not going to fucking believe
this story.
And they're like, oh my god.
And so that was it.
And I felt like she knew no one's scarface in that hot tub.
It's been awesome.
I was there with my son.
And it was just great.
It was great.
But the takeaway from that, you feel like you're lucky,

(19:53):
but you're also appreciative.
And what is the teacher about life winning that much money?
Gratitude.
I think way along before November 26,
I think I've been somebody who practices gratitude.
And my brother-in-law can tell you that.
Where is he?
Yeah.
He can tell you that.
If you want his thanks for all of us.
Yeah, that's it.

(20:15):
Mine is yours.
We're going to do some good with it.
Absolutely.
You got some big trouble.
He's been playing Santa Claus with that beard.
I thought it was four.
I thought it was same name.
I'm not letting this go.
I'm telling you, the power of the beard,
I'm going to joke about it.
But I feel like Samson had his locks.
Samson had his locks.
I got my gray.

(20:36):
Can't go open that in July.
No chance.
Oh, man.
So champ, you said there was another part to the story,
right?
Part two.
I won the money and the opportunity
to help some people.
I feel like I won that that day.
And a ticket.
And the ticket, the story has evolved a couple of times.

(20:58):
But I am confident that I got it right this time.
I had myself on a beach in Key West quickly,
but that's not the deal.
So on the 14th of January, it's the first weekend, right?
Tournament of Champions, semifinal.
Oh, first weekend of the playoffs.

(21:18):
Semifinals, tournament of champions.
There are 60 tickets.
I have one of them.
I have to come in the top 17, right?
If I come in the top 17, I go to Key West.
My brother-in-law and I go to Key West for four days.

(21:39):
And we have a chance at another million dollars.
So if you all would like to manifest that shit with me.
Is there an additional fee for that?
JMT0813, manifest that shit with me.
So all their weekly winners get a ticket
to the tournament of champions.
So there's no fee.
I'm sure I'm going to have some incidentals

(22:00):
that I have to pay for, but they give you some money.
What is it?
Got to pick another team.
So I just got to pick another team.
So it's all football again?
It's all fantasy.
Draft Kings again.
So it's good.
All the champions, all the weekly winners,
get invited into this.
60 guys, top 17 advanced to the finals
for a chance to win another million.
And it's just that one week?
Those top 17 get an all expense paid trip to Key West

(22:23):
to party for the weekend.
And this is my plus one.
And put their fantasy team in down there and let's celebrate.
My wife is staying back, educating the children in Bristol.
Won't take a day off.
The top 17 that do advance, that goes to the next week?
No, no, no.
So that's the 14th.
So I get a ticket to the tournament on the 14th.

(22:47):
And when we come in the top 17, you got to see it.
Right?
You're all going to see it.
So it's the 28th.
So the trip is like the championship weekend.
So you just pick from those teams.
So I was like, I started to listen.

(23:09):
So I started to think to myself, well, that's what I'm saying.
I started to think to myself, oh, how am I
going to change my sheet?
Oh, my god.
There's four guys.
You got to get that X factor.
Right.
But then I was also thinking it took me 47 seconds.
It's going to be tough to put it up this year.
47 seconds is for the lineup.

(23:30):
The last one, I'm saying that.
I just said to myself, don't overthink it.
Just go have fun and don't overthink it.
Drop it today.
We're really hoping.
We hope some Jake Elliott's in that game.
C-Senor!
C-Senor!
That's my walk-up song.
I just want you to know if I ever do anything in my life
that needs a walk-up song that I wanted to be that.

(23:50):
So champ, what was your lineup?
I want to hear everybody in your lineup.
Let's see if I could.
I don't know if I could do it from.
That's terrible, by the way.
Me too.
That's awful.
But let's see.
Let's see.
I won $75 a month ago, and I know my deadline is $75.
So I had Jake Allen.
Josh Allen.
I out.
Jake Allen.
Josh Allen, I felt good about him.

(24:11):
And that's the way I picked.
I know I got to have one study.
He was the one I went with.
Well, you went against the Eagles.
The Eagles passed the offense.
It was a great call.
You know, I just thought that was a good deal.
Kyren Williams and Jerome Ford.
Browns, yep, of course.
My wide outs were Calvin Ridley.

(24:31):
He's either good or terrible every week.
Mostly terrible.
Who did Calvin Ridley?
Who did they play that day?
Oh, Rushie Rice.
And who did Calvin?
Who did the Jaguars play that day?
He just said it.
Whoever the Jaguars played, I played the Bette,

(24:52):
their number one receiver, because they were,
I didn't knew it was going to be a high scoring game.
And that's, I figured, but I forget who was.
It'll come to me.
Did Rushie Rice have a big game that day?
Yeah.
They all did.
They all went bananas.
Carolina D, Pat from Reumreth.
Friar most, yeah, he had like.

(25:12):
And a flex.
Flex was, oh, Stevenson, you said it before.
Remandre Stevenson.
Here it is, I think.
And who was my last wide out?
Calvin Ridley.
Oh, and Nico Collins.
Oh, yeah, that was a big day for Nico.
Jack, they played each other.
I'm like, that's a shootout.
So I do have a couple of rules that, like, things

(25:34):
that I go by.
And like, I flip to the score, that's an app, right?
I flip to the score because they give you
in a quickout underovers.
Holy, man, they got 41.4 from Kyron Williams that week.
Look at that.
Jesus.
Look at Fearman.
Friar was, oh, so low.
I'm going to read them off, right?
You know mine?

(25:55):
Yeah.
Josh Allen.
43.66.
Kyron Williams 41.4.
It's Rome 40.
Man, when I skip his autograph, he's pulling 11.9.
Which is solid.
Nico Collins 26.4.
Calvin Ridley, like you said, 21.9.
Oh my Lord.
Rishi Rice 27.7.

(26:16):
Friar moved 24 exactly.
Remind Grace Stevenson 21.7 and the Panthers D 2.0.
Power of the beard.
Wow.
Power of the beard.
Wow.
Power of the beard.
That's a day.
That's a day.
I'm just going to hold on.
I need one by half.
Thanks, Cameron.
Is there any reflection, like what I do

(26:37):
deserve this type of thing?
Or you're not like, oh, or like, you know, like.
No.
No, no.
Yeah.
I don't mean it in a bad way.
I'm saying like, did you sleep well that night?
Did you?
I made it over to the West Hall.
OK, so here's the rest of the story.
Did you sleep well that night?
So when we were in the middle of the five-year-old birthday

(27:00):
party at a brewery, that was fun.
Ironic is a good word.
I just had a feeling on Josh Allen.
And so I put like a $20 parlay in with like five legs.
And Josh Allen had to do anything and everything.

(27:21):
And I forgot I put that in.
So I go to bed, I get the money.
Everything happens.
It was a whirlwind.
I'm laying in bed.
My wife is, I think, asleep because I
had to go to my friend's house to let his dogs out.
And I sat in his hot tub and drank his beer for a while.

(27:42):
And I'm like, I look at it.
I'm looking at it.
I just keep looking at it.
Right?
And there's $480 in there.
And I just kept ignoring that.
And finally, I go to look.
Like, what is that?
And I hit the five leg parlay that I totally

(28:02):
forgot that I put in because it was everything Josh Allen.
Run for two, throw for one, 260, this, whatever it was,
they all hit.
So I'm like, well, goddamn.
And I can't sleep.
So I'm laying there.
So I take my $480 over to the three card poker table.

(28:24):
I'm DraftKings.
And if I've played that in the past,
it's $1 here and $1 there.
I found $480 plus a million.
Oh, my god.
Is it a mattress?
So I throw $15 a hand.
And the second hand, I get Ace King Queen as fucking spades

(28:48):
for $650.
Turn that thing off.
And I turn the phone off.
And I just laid and looked at the ceiling
with a smile on my face.
You didn't go to the Get Strap Cops at that moment?
Until I, and so to answer your question,
like at that moment, I was just like, the dude is hot.
And at that minute, at that minute,

(29:10):
I decided it was the power of the beard.
And so now, my hashtag is up.
My try it now.
I interrupt this broadcast to say,
if you or anyone you know has a problem,
don't call me.
Call the millionaire.
Because, yeah, no, no, don't call me.
The chance is here.
Not at least contributing to that problem.

(29:31):
You're a good luck charm.
Are we considering him more like a flavor
of Flav, a Robin, a Pippin?
Because Pippin ain't easy.
What do you got here?
What is the height, man?
He has to be with you on the next leg.
This guy right here?
Craig, yeah.
Just solid.
He's just solid.
I mean, I don't want to compare him to anybody, right?

(29:53):
They all had good traits.
He's got good traits.
They all had bad traits.
He's got good traits, right?
Right?
Oh, man.
Solid.
To wake up a millionaire, what's that like?
Did you feel any different?
Do you?
It's, you know, your shoulders are maybe a little more
relaxed, I guess.

(30:14):
I don't know.
Life's expensive.
You know?
We've all been to the grocery.
We've all been to the package store.
We've seen with the cost of these things.
Most of us, most of us.
Yeah, no, you've got to grow.
Listen, man, it makes these.
We all got expenses.
Kids going to college, weddings, you know?
Are there any plans with the money?
Like, will you move?

(30:35):
Will you do?
No.
No, no.
Stay the same?
Yeah, no plan.
Nothing like that.
Just hopefully five, six years from now when the wife is
ready to retire, it's worth two, three times what it is now.
That'd be awesome if you could get everybody to get an autograph
from everybody.
I got to do something, right?
I got to get out of it.
That would be neat.
I'll figure it out after the holidays.

(30:56):
My suggestion was to get us boaster size of this winner.
Don't we just rattle?
Yeah.
And somehow get all those guys to sign it on that.
Yeah.
There'll only be one thing.
Wouldn't be Goddard and I'm like, I just said classy.
Like, these are my guys that day.
Something.
There you go.
I have to.
I have to.
And there's no doubt in my mind I'm getting a Jake Elliott jersey.

(31:17):
I'm getting it.
And that's how.
He was in my team.
He just kept the game going.
That wasn't even on my team.
Yeah.
That's awesome.
But he kicked that kick was the second greatest kick
of all times of what they're saying.
And he banged a knuckleball 59 yards that would have went 64
yards in the rain and win.
And win.

(31:37):
And it went snuck right in.
And I swear to you, I almost passed out
because I was screaming like a maniac.
What a day.
11, 20, 11, 20, 6, 23.
What a day.
That's great.
Congratulations.
Thank you, champ.
You're going to stick around for the rest of this.
That's an amazing story.
We're going to revisit that now.

(31:58):
And again, this is not your first trip in the studio.
Not your last either.
But guys, we have a resident expert fantasy football
advisor here.
But the champ cashed in for the big one.
Luckily, the Don father doesn't do the betting.
He just advises those who do.

(32:20):
Champ, the next time you're on, skip the score app
and go right to the Don father.
Right here on Bristol Boys.
All right, we're going to talk about the major leagues
briefly.
We've been the impetus for this whole experience
is to kill a catchman.
He's not our boy.
I wouldn't say he came through, but he got a piece.

(32:41):
What are we thinking about one Soto?
What are we thinking about one Soto?
And I have my thoughts.
I just want to hear what you guys see first.
He's a great hitter, but I don't know if I can put up
with the antics all season.
The shuffle and I don't know.
I'll take it.
Yeah, I'm with the commission with that.

(33:01):
That will probably drive me nuts.
But we need a hitter, man.
And he's a young stud.
He's 25 years old.
And I'm in favor of giving a boatload of money
to keep him there and finish as a Yankee.
I don't think it will.
But I will tell you this.
You guys know how pissed I get when they play these guys
like three times a week.

(33:22):
He played 162 games last year for the Padres.
He better play like 155 this year.
I don't want to like, well, I'll do the lefty pitching
on April 3rd and we need to give him a day off.
Because I'm gonna, I will murder somebody.
Well, that's my question to all the Yankee fans out there.
Is it worth it if it's only one year?
Is it only worth it if you're re-signed and placed?
Cause give it up Thorpe King.
Like they gave up a lot.

(33:43):
I signed the star and give up the prospects,
but if he's going to be there,
not a for a rental, right?
As Yankee fans, what are your thoughts?
We have him this year for the year.
Yeah, the year, but that's it.
I'm saying you, it's not worth giving up King and Thorpe
if he's only a one year player.
I don't listen.
I like my King, but I'm not sure where he turned
into this stud other than Yankee fans.

(34:04):
I mean, I like, like he was good last year.
Nobody else to talk about.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
So is he really a stud?
He's 28.
I mean, we turned Nester into Padres
for a couple of years.
Yeah, for, yeah.
Do we worry about judging center field?
No, no.
I'll take Soto and a heartbeat, theatrics included.
I don't care.
I don't care.
And I'm old fashioned.

(34:24):
You guys know that.
I don't care.
We need sticks.
We got some sticks given up King.
I can care less.
What do you want to get here?
Subadi's house.
I don't care about King.
I don't care about Thorpe.
I don't care about any of these.
These guys are lottery tickets.
We got a proven superstar.
And if he doesn't sign, it was worth the risk.

(34:46):
I don't care that judges in center field
because in the seventh or eighth inning,
who moved the right field to bring the kid Grisham in.
And when Dominguez comes back, Dominguez will slide right in.
I'm glad he wasn't in the trade.
None of their prospects that are considered their bats
were in the trade.
So I'm fine with it in total.
I was going to go buy a lottery ticket though.
There's no doubt on with the champ.

(35:09):
I'm going to rub the beard.
And I'm bringing us good luck charm, too.
Speaking of beards, Verdugo out there.
And the Shaves, you look like 12 years old.
I don't mind him either.
Another durable player.
He plays every day.
He's lefty.
He's killed us for a few years.
He hits the ball to left center.
Contact hitter.
Bring him in.
Not convinced he makes it to spring training.
There's other moves to be made.
He seems like a punk.

(35:30):
We don't need a punk.
Others, he could hit.
Like he's a good hitter.
My only question with him is, why are they trading him to us?
Well, for the same reason that Clayton Kershaw set
get him out of the Dodger soccer.
Oh, there you go.
There you go.
If it doesn't work out after three or four months,
bye bye.
He's a free agent after this year.
They don't lose anything by bringing him in.
Now, obviously, Cashman, it doesn't matter if Soto does well,

(35:52):
because this guy knows where all the Steinbrenner bodies are
buried at, apparently.
But does this buy him any time or love from not us,
but the average Yankee show?
Yes.
No.
I think yes.
He needs another mover, too, right?
I think yes.
Or actually, he needs a championship.
That's the bottom line.
You know?
Yeah.
He needs a championship.
All right, he's going to wear number 22.

(36:14):
Other notable 22s.
Clement.
Will Clark?
No, no, no.
Yanks, dude.
It's Homer Bush, 22?
I have the grand 22 of all time.
I have Bush in my wheelchair.
One of my favorites in the Tino Benita is scrap,
also known as the Graham Lloyd Jeff Nelson scrap,
also known as almost the Brogess Benita scrap,

(36:36):
but really known as the Robertine Benitas, right?
He's climbing over people when he wells his lecturing people
on it and they'll go out.
But I was thinking about Cano, a great lefty hitter.
Numbers when he was good are similar to Soto's good years.
Would you take a Cano type year out of him?

(36:57):
Oh, I'm looking for better.
Yes.
Better being how many homers?
More power, yes.
30 plus.
30 is good.
I mean, he's such a good hitter.
He walked so much.
But he did say he's not going to change his approach
because of the band box.
But where did he hit this year?
Like 35, 36?
No, 35 or 36, yeah.
He bets in front of a judge or behind him.
What are we thinking?
In front, get the fastballs, right?

(37:19):
I don't care where he looks.
As long as they're next to each other.
Yeah.
You can make sure he stands in there.
You can get Stan the hell out of there.
A guy like this is going to help Rizzo to another stud in there.
They've upgraded the offense tremendously.
All right.
Jump off the yanks real quick.

(37:39):
Ohtani, 700 million guys.
What's going on?
Dung.
Well, we got to talk to Joel Morello about the deferred
payments because I don't understand it, how it works.
No idea.
Yeah, that's sad.
What's he deferring?
Like $680?
Something crazy.
$662 million?
Yeah.
Something like that.
He's making $2 million a year or something crazy.
Circumvented the salary cap.

(38:00):
Which is horrible.
MLB lets that happen.
I saw something where he's going to make close to $50 million
just in endorsements here.
That's what they said, right?
Yeah.
So he's just like.
That's fine for him.
But I'm saying for baseball.
It's just odd where you have one of the best two or three
players making it.
Turn around and get close now.
So you got a $70 million DH?
For one year.
Yeah.

(38:21):
This guy's not going to pitch more than three starts.
He's not pitching this year.
I love Ohtani.
I think he's great.
But he's never going to be a pitcher again.
He might pitch a few months.
He's going to be hurt.
Is $70 million worth it for a DH?
No.
I mean, the Jersey sales, yada, yada, they're
going to get all that.
They're going to make a fortune on that.

(38:42):
But as a baseball fan.
They just don't care.
They have no bottom, right?
I mean, printing money.
Well, that's my problem with the Yankees.
Like everybody's like, well, they can't sign this guy.
They can't get this guy.
Sure.
That's what I'm saying.
Like they make so much money.
It's ridiculous.
So I don't really want to give somebody like Bellinger $70

(39:04):
or $200 or something million.
But Soto?
Like Soto.
Let's sign on.
I don't get if it's $500 million.
I'm not going to the stadium anymore.
But I'm paying for a yes.
And I'm paying for prime and all this crap.
And I want, I'm a mortal too.
I don't know how you guys feel about it.
I want him to be a Yankee too.
What else do you guys want?
I mean, yeah.
I want a content.

(39:25):
I want a content is what I want to do.
I'm sick of watching.
I want Jeter Dones.
Oh, yeah.
That's right.
We got him.
Plus $4.60 for the Dodgers now.
We're in the series.
Plus $4.60, $4.50 to one.
We got two of the three guys now in the Mookie Betstrait.
See that?
Yeah, thank you.
Verduga, Downs and Hoops.
We got two of the three.
Oh, two of the three.
We got the two best players in baseball now.

(39:45):
Oh, you Dodgers do, I mean.
Dodgers do.
Capital securities, Joe Morello, a life-woke plan.
We're going to shift gears to College Hoops.
Yukon, I thought we were going to have a little bit of a laugh
right here tonight.
Looks like they're down.
Down 14 with three minutes to go.
I don't know where.
Man.
Don't do that.
How Syracuse doing?

(40:07):
We talking about Syracuse?
Red Autry doing.
We're not talking about Syracuse.
I want Yukon.
Listen, Husky's 10-1 coming into tonight.
10-2 is not the worst thing in the world.
These conferences are a conference place.
It's supposed to be tough.
You're supposed to go through to Gauntlet.
But I mean, how about this schedule
you've had with the Gauntlet?
Impressive.
Impressive.
They whoop up on UNC.
They go out to Seattle and take care of business against Gonzaga.

(40:28):
And not only that, but Bristol's own.
I mean, Bristol's own.
Charter Oak goes off for 20 and 10 that night.
And then we need them.
I think you got a little dinged up in your night.
Even the Kansas game that they lost, though, in Kansas,
like, right to the wire, that's a schedule, man.
Nobody does that anymore.

(40:49):
That's a schedule.
Don't eat a team that Yukon is dodging as Bryant University.
I mean, how can you dodge Bryant?
They want a PC.
They chose a Monmouth instead or something.
But dude, this escalated quickly.
I mean, he has Vitalis, his best player for his first year.

(41:09):
And next thing you know, they got a Natty, Big East,
and they got a schedule.
They are loaded.
I mean, they are loaded.
Did anybody watch his AGS game Friday night?
You can, Gonzaga.
Yeah.
Yeah, midnight start.
I'm not a Yukon fan.
There was never a doubt after about two minutes
that Yukon was going to win that game.
I will say this, like I said to you guys last year.
Like, I bashed early because he always

(41:29):
talked about championships when we first got here.
And they were never, man, they guard, man.
Holy cow, they play defense.
Yeah, even, but wow, like it's hard to score.
He's doing everything right.
Culture stuff, defense.
Like all these new things.
Their offensive sets are legit.
And they don't call on you.
They run these things like backdoor.

(41:51):
Everybody's moving.
Everybody's moving, just like Eastern Connecticut.
How many losses at the end of the year?
Regular season?
Six or seven.
Yeah, just, I mean, Creighton.
Anybody can.
I'm not saying John's will get better.
They'll.
Mark Cavani.
Cavani took this, you know, he basically
made Rome crumple in like just a couple of years.

(42:13):
And, you know, recruiting guys without seeing them,
they'd bring these skinny string beans to campus.
And that wasn't going to get it done.
And then, man, it didn't take this guy long.
You know what's driving me crazy?
I don't love him.
I don't know if anyone could really love him, right?
He's a tough like, early.
But like, this joke now, it's on Twitter.
And the guy, people argue whether Yukon's a blue blood.

(42:35):
They definitely are.
Absolutely.
They are the best men's basketball program.
Indiana still considered a blue blood.
They haven't won since 1987.
So Yukon's a blue blood.
I got to ask you something, Lottie.
So I saw this on Twitter the other day.
Dan Dockich was killing Mike Woodson.
They lost.
Dockich wanted a job.

(42:56):
Yeah, probably.
But Indiana lost the other day.
I forgot against who it was.
But there's a picture taking in the coaches room
afterwards with Woodson and a bunch of the assistant coaches
drinking wine and smoking cigars after a loss.
Get them out of there.
Is that the Red Sox?
Yeah.
Get them out of there.
So like, a lot of the Indiana faithful
are going absolutely ballistic.

(43:17):
Like, what happened to the program, this and that.
I could see Bobby Knight doing that.
Yeah.
Bobby Knight was not doing that in the bunker.
I can guarantee you.
No shot.
Yeah, Indiana's a shot of themselves.
They haven't been relevant in a long, long time.
Although Knight couldn't get Jordan to set screens.
Now you're talking about Indiana,
so you're pivoting for the Big 10, right?
It's a good segue, right, Mac?

(43:38):
Speaking of Big 10 teams, Scarlett,
we lost the Big 10 opener to Illinois.
And by the way, I happen to be in the house.
Illinois has grown men.
They're big, big dudes.
They always seen the father at the end, though.
Hold on.
Thank you.
That coach is pretty volatile over there, huh?
He's good, though.
Yeah, he's good.
You got a partial season ticket playing for Rutgers.

(44:00):
You've been in a lot of games.
What are you thinking of?
I was with the champ for one of them.
You were with who?
Champ.
Champ Torres.
Oh, the champ.
That's right.
I remember you guys went.
Gavin.
By the way, that was a great game.
Awesome.
That's the same job.
That's probably the best they played.
Double overtime?
Yeah.
Mac is back.
The glue guy.
Huge for them.

(44:20):
To Michael, David's starting lineup now, right?
That was Bobby Mac's guy in the preseason.
So I'll give it to him.
You liked him early.
I saw him play a couple of times on TV.
And I liked the way he plays, too.
He pushed Simpson to the side a little bit.
Do you know he has the number one assist to turnover ratio
in the country for freshmen?
Michael Davis, 3.75 to 1, number one in the country

(44:41):
for assist to turnover.
That's awesome.
Don Farr is always about numbers.
Stats, baby.
Stats.
I like it.
The only metric that matters is what you see with your eyes.
And a man's heart.
But anyway, like the champ.
Don't tell the cashmines nerd crew.
Off the Mississippi State, which is a good non-count.
That's an interesting game, yeah.

(45:01):
Saturday.
I mean, the Mississippi States of the world
find themselves in the sweet 16 elite eight, like often.
I remember sitting on my couch watching the Huskies fall
to them with Dante Jones and Eric Dampier back in the day.
Sweet 16 game.
Could be the first quad one win for Rutgers
if they went on Saturday, right?

(45:23):
Think Mississippi State?
I hate the fact it's a win.
You remember where you were watching at?
My house.
Is it away?
I can't believe I'm married after that.
I was going to say, I was going to say,
you were dating Sue at the time.
And you started firing stuff after Ray Allen missed the final
three.
I'm like, I remember walking out with the commissioning.
That's going to go really well.

(45:44):
My parents were even less impressed.
Remember to have thought a good old day.
We sat there.
We sat right in front of it.
Anyway, love this time of year.
The holidays coming up.
And right after this conference play will be ramped up.
Hey, how was the, I haven't been, you guys
follow Rutgers religiously.
How was Gavin Griffiths going?

(46:04):
Is doing?
Seems to be struggling a little bit defensively, right?
He's not starting.
But if you look at his, just his numbers,
like the Donfather, he's a numbers guy.
By the numbers, you're saying he's doing great.
We had career high, or like 25.
11, something a game, 11 and a half again.
He's averaging that much?

(46:26):
Yeah, a couple of big games.
You see him drive and like going up against growing men.
He'll like fall down.
Yeah.
Easy year away from like, you know, they were saying,
oh, oh, and the easy year away from like really doing
something.
But I'll tell you what though, if he wants to get it off,
it's in a place.
His release, it's insane.
It is legit.

(46:46):
Can we think he's going to be hurt by the arrival of Dylan
Harper?
I saw it.
Did you see their highlights this weekend?
I just saw, I mean, Dylan Harper's ranked second in the country.
Did they play against each other?
This week they played against each other, right?
They did.
Highlights are on Twitter.
And I didn't know Ace is a three point hunter.
Like, they showed him make like five threes.

(47:06):
He's like six, eight.
And Dylan gets to the rack.
One and done.
Both.
Both.
And Griffiths probably will go too, once he puts the 20 pounds on.
He's dunking around.
And he's no worse, right?
He can shoot it.
It's a good comparison.
I don't mind that.
All right, keeping on basketball,
I don't want to spend too much time on this.

(47:28):
Quick NBA check in after the Lakers raised a banner this week
for the in season tournament.
Kobe would have been proud.
Sure, Magic's pumped about it.
The captain is probably disgusted.
The captain's, he's laid up right now.
Shaq came out and stood up for Draymond Green.
Saying he doesn't need any counting.
He's a good man.
No, I love Shaq.

(47:50):
Get it?
Love Shaq.
But my great 10 roof.
Dad joke right there.
Come on, Jim.
I like it.
The million dollar joke.
How could anyone defend this bad, he's a bad person?
I'll just Jackass.
You can't.
He's a Jackass.
I don't, how else to say it?
I hate when we all agree, but I think we all agree.
He's a clown that I'm glad it's an indefinite suspension.

(48:14):
It should be indefinite for as long as they need to look at it.
It's terrible.
Yeah, he's not only hurt his opponents.
He's punched the lights out of a teammate.
And he's going to end up riding him out of the NBA
because that kid will never, ever cover him.
He had a terrible year last year.
He's a little bit of a mechanic anyway.
If I was Curry, I would have went right up to management
and say, it's either him or me.

(48:36):
I can't play with this guy anymore.
He's a body guard.
I know, but you know what?
That's part of the problem then.
That's his beard.
That's his beard.
When he puts in a lineup, he brings Draymond with him.
Just like the champ brings his good luck.
I'm sick of Draymond, Green.
Got a heck of a team.
I'm done with him.
I don't ever want to see him again.
All right, I tell people he's just another player

(48:58):
if he's on the left team.
And honestly?
Absolutely right.
I actually had this discussion with some buffoon
at the gym that said he was better than Kevin Love.
No way.
That's what I'm saying.
Just say you took a cheap shot.
That's how I draw a follow.
It was a 20-something kid, though.
So who said what?
Some youngsters told me that Draymond Green was a better
player than Kevin Love.

(49:20):
See the outlet passes?
If you look at the career stats, they're not really close.
Archie Manning.
You guys know that literally Draymond Green averages less
than nine points a game in this career.
I believe it.
All right, it's NFL time.
And you might think that the champ is stepping back up
to the mic.
He's not far from it.
But Donfather, can we get an update?
We don't want to hear fantasy stuff.

(49:41):
Only the people in the playoffs are relevant here,
except for the draft kings and fan dual types.
Donfather, what do we got?
I mean, dumpster fire of the week.
Did we all watch the game last Thursday night?
When the Chargers gave up 63 points to the ever so dangerous
Las Vegas Raiders?
Who got shut off the week before?
I mean, it's just.
And Meridan John Jenkins scores a touchdown in that game.

(50:02):
You see that?
Smarty.
Smarty.
Fan dual play for the champ.
If he paid attention, he would have played Jenkins last week,
too.
Bumble, Reckless.
Connecticut's going off.
I'm a flash of it.
Again, six through three points for the Raiders.
The worst thing about the Chargers,
they're punting on the season clearly, right?
Herbert's gone.
Allen, not going to play the rest of the year.

(50:23):
And they're actually screwing Austin Eckler.
I mean, he has incentives in his contract.
One of these guys signs his deal.
They gave him five carries last week.
He needs to get to 11.25 total yards to get,
I think it's a million-dollar bonus.
He stuck at like 8.50.
They did five carries they gave him last week.
10 touchdowns, he gets another, I think, 600,000.

(50:45):
He's got six touchdowns.
He's not going to get that.
Then Pro Bowl, he's not going to make that either.
I mean, they're literally giving the ball to Spiller
and these other clowns just so he doesn't get his bonus.
That's how the Chargers are being run right now.
I mean, it's unbelievable how poorly they're being run.
They fire their coach right after the game.
Should have fired my half-time.
Now, let's talk about Belichick.

(51:06):
Belichick might be the guy now in San Diego.
That's all I keep hearing.
Belichick's the guy.
Belichick's the guy.
What do you mean you keep hearing it?
What do you mean you keep hearing it?
Belichick is still in high school, I'm thinking.
It's what my sources are telling me.
It's going to be Belichick.
I can't tell you that.
They're not sources anymore.
Moving on.
By the way, is it the Niners or the Field?
If you had to take Niners or the Field, who you taking?

(51:27):
Champ.
Browns.
I'm going with the Field.
Niners.
I think the Niners are the favorite, but those odds,
those odds, I'm taking the Field.
Niners, I would vote Niners too, and I hate them.
I hate them too, but I agree.
I want a Field because the Browns are going to win it off.
Joe Flacco.

(51:49):
I said Niners.
Niners, Mack?
I think it's over.
I think it's over.
Niners?
Health.
They got to stay healthy though, clearly.
Yeah.
The improvements they made on defense at that time of the year
in football are insane compared to how fast they play anyway.
But then you add that guy.
You think Baltimore is the best team in the AFC?
Oh, yeah.
And nobody, I mean, they're starting to talk about them now.

(52:10):
They've been under the radar all year.
Who plays Christmas night?
I have no.
Ravens, Niners.
You don't think it's the Ravens?
I don't know.
You don't know.
Well, no idea.
They look good sometimes.
Their guys drop like flies.
I mean, it was Keaton Mitchell now for the year this weekend.
I mean, for the year.
Yeah, he's done.
I mean, so it's Niners, Ravens, Monday night.
That's an awesome, awesome game Monday night.

(52:32):
A preview.
That is a Christmas present.
So again, sticking with the Niners as much as I don't want to,
because I don't like them.
Is Purdy, Purdy's now heavy favor for the MVP.
He's minus money for the MVP right now, minus 225 for the MVP.
I don't.
See, I wouldn't give it to him.
I mean, McCaffrey's more valuable than him.
McCaffrey would be my guy too.

(52:53):
McCaffrey's third, well, Morris plus 600.
They always give it the quarterback, so.
I mean, by the Brock Purdy, 3,800 yards, 29 touchdowns,
seven interceptions.
That's, I mean, it's unbelievably impressive.
I was actually reading the stat.
I'm going to pivot to Trivia real quick there, McCaffrey.
From Purdy.
So since 2000, Purdy has the fourth highest single-season

(53:16):
passing rating through 15 weeks in the NFL.
Since 2000, 15 weeks, 119 quarterback rating.
Who were the three that were on top of them?
Read it again.
119 what?
119 passer rating through the first 15 weeks.
Three quarterbacks ever have had a higher passer rating
through 15 weeks.
All won the MVP.

(53:37):
Brady?
Brady is number three with 119.7.
I would go for Breeze.
Yeah, that's what I was going to say.
Breeze is not one of them.
Wow.
Payton.
Payton, all time number one, 123.9.
We're missing one.
Missing one.
Hager Beagle, fix an eagle.
No, I'm kidding.
Ha ha ha ha.

(54:00):
I'll tell you, the pass rating was 120.
Oh, I got it.
There we go.
I got it now.
I got it now.
120.1.
MVP.
2011 MVP.
Who won it?
Come on.
Let's go.
Give us a team.
Packers.
Give us a team.
Give us a team.
OK.
Aaron Rogers?
Mr. Rogers.
Holy moly.

(54:21):
Unbelievable.
All right, I'm going to piggyback off Perty now,
right now, though.
So now he has his 13th start with 100 plus pass
rating in his first 20 starts.
So 13 starts with 100 plus pass rating.
Only two other people have had more in their first 20
starts.
Who are they?
Two other people have had a higher pass rating than 100.
Marino.

(54:42):
Marino is not up there.
And I'll say it's in the last 25 years.
116, one is 14.
Perty has 13.
How about that, Danny?
Start off really well.
Talking about real quarterbacks.
I'll go back to Aaron Rogers.
I'll go back to Aaron Rogers.
No, sir.
One of them is active still.

(55:03):
One of them is not.
Maddy Ice?
Nope.
One active, one works for the NFL Network.
Oh, Kurt Warner?
Kurt Warner is number two with 14.
Who's number one with 1,600 plus-yard pass rating
his first 20 starts?
That's a crazy step.
Active right now.

(55:24):
Now it's confusing.
You get pass rating, QBR.
I mean, there's too many metrics.
Pick one and go with it.
But active right now, team will make the playoffs.
Will.
Will make the playoffs.
Make?
Make it.
They're making it.
All right.
It is Patrick Mahomes.

(55:44):
16.
Too easy.
We should have got that.
Too easy?
No, no.
We should have got that.
All right, I'm going another one, Mac.
Raheem Moster.
Fantasy stud this year, by the way.
So he has 17 rushing touchdowns for the season.
It's a Miami record, by the way.
Fourth most in the season by an undrafted player.

(56:05):
Jesus.
Come on, angry.
You're all about this stuff.
I know.
So there was three seasons with more, but only two players.
One player had it twice.
Undrafted player running backs who had 17 or more rushing
touchdowns.
There's only two.
And I'm talking the last 25 years, not back
in the black and white days.

(56:26):
So that's a lot of touchdown.
Terrell Davis, who was he drafting?
I think he was late.
Maybe not me.
What did George do, right?
Don't know, but it's not him.
All-star.
No, he was high drafts.
Did you say you think All-star got over 17 rushing touchdowns
in the season?
He was a one yard touchdown bill for her.
How about the white guy for the Browns?

(56:47):
Peyton Hill.
Peyton Hill's.
These are running backs.
No, no, come on.
No.
Wrong.
Wrong.
I'm not going to say it, but wrong.
And it's Smith.
Undrafted champ.
I'll tell you, one of them had 27 touchdowns in one year
and 21 in another year.

(57:09):
Undrafted player in the last 25 years.
27 touchdowns in one year.
27 touchdowns.
I'll tell you what, the last 20 years.
I'm embarrassed that I don't know the answer.
The last 20 years.
Somebody had 27 rushing touchdowns one year.
And we don't know.
Sure did, buddy.
I'll tell you, it was 2002.
They had 21, 2003.
They had 27.
Undrafted.
Gregory J. This is not like you.

(57:30):
He had to be on a Sunday team and our fantasy league.
Stephen Davis.
Frightening enough, I can't read the second person
I wrote down, but.
Give us the answer.
Priest Holmes.
Oh, Christ.
That's terrible.
I mean, you guys, that's disappointing.
It is.
It's terrible.
Was he a raven at that point?
No, he didn't.
He did a raven.
He was a city, right?
Yeah.
All right, moving on.

(57:51):
And a champ, I need something from you.
You're a million-dollar winner.
I need to step up on these NFL trivia questions.
So.
Mad luck.
Kamara.
Power of the beard.
Alvin Kamara, which I don't think any of us like,
had 110 scrimmage yards on Sunday,
given him 1,000 yards total for the seventh straight time.
Most in Saints history.
So there was 16 running backs to have a lot.

(58:14):
I'm not giving the ASCII 16 running backs
to have 1,000 in their first seven seasons,
which surprised me, by the way.
But only three have done it since 2000.
First seven years of their career, 1,000 yard total each year,
since 2000.
Kamara's won.
There's three more.
Tomlinson.
Tomlinson, yes.

(58:34):
2001 to 2007.
Two more.
You'll get one.
You will not get the third.
Frank Gore.
Nope.
Edge.
Think of rushing and receiving for both.
I'll tell you that.
It's total.
McCaffrey.
McCaffrey.
He hasn't been in the league seven years.
Close, though.
Dead time.
Come on, Pence, quickly.
Both NFC.

(58:54):
OK, both NFC north.
So Bears, Packers.
Somebody just had to catch a million passes, right?
Jonesy?
No.
Vikings.
Oh, A.G.
A.G.
A.G. and Peters are the other one you would never get.
If you didn't get hints, Da Bears.
40.
Matt, fourth.
40.
40.

(59:15):
All right.
Nobody would have ever gotten that.
Are you good with trivia for a minute?
Yeah, for sure.
You're giving to other trivia?
Yeah.
You're giving to other trivia?
Angry J.
Oh, we're talking about Draymond Green.
Give me the top five guys in the ejections in NBA history.
Sheet Wallace.
Sheet Wallace is number one.

(59:35):
Rodman?
Artest.
I will give.
I'll give you the second one is Draymond Green.
Rounder test is not correct.
But they're all 80s and 9.
Rodman?
No.
Charles Oakley.
No.
Maureen?
Negative.
Liam Bear.
No.

(59:56):
Two guys are.
Chris Paul.
No, that's a good guess though.
Two guys are Hall of Famers and one is a.
Carmeline guy.
No.
One is a what guy?
Is it Nick?
Mason?
No.
Anthony Mason is correct.
16.
Aimee?
So the other two guys are Hall of Famers.

(01:00:16):
One is just a fairly recent Hall of Famer and another guy's
on TV a lot.
Oh, Charles.
Charles, yeah.
Mark Lee is one of them.
So we're missing one guy.
Kobe?
Negative.
One of dunk contest.
Nate Robinson?

(01:00:36):
Swings both ways apparently.
Oh, Dwight Howard?
Dwight Howard is.
Rock 17.
Quick pivot here.
Yeah, there's a heck of a shortstop out here.
Oh, yeah.
You can really turn to DP.
You can go to Facebook, Dwight Howard.
Good hinge.
Real quick.
Well, we talked about our favorite are the number ones

(01:00:59):
to ten that came to mind.
Quick, number one that you don't like.
Go around the horn quickly.
Oh, we'll start.
I'll start because remember Kenny Bannister for the Knicks?
Oh, yeah.
He was number one and he was the worst basketball player
I've ever seen and he had stuff growing on his face.
He was my least favorite number one.
I'm going to go Cam Newton.

(01:01:19):
I've never liked the guy.
I got Cam Newton.
You jerk.
OK, next.
James Harden.
Is he the worst that one?
Yes.
He was so much better.
That was 13.
OK.
He's playing well at some point.
I'm going to say Billy Martin.
Good and bad.
Good and bad.
Good and bad.
There's some bad ones.
Yeah, that's right.

(01:01:40):
All right, so Jay took my Cam Newton.
Number two, I'm starting us out with another Yankee.
A shortstop that were number two before Jeets.
Father is a Hall of Famer.
He's a Hall of Famer.
That'd be Dale Barra.
Bye.
Johnny Manziel.
Easy one for me.
Oh, I'll go Jim Marcus Russell.
That's a good one, too.

(01:02:01):
I will go with Zach Wilson.
Oh, Zach.
See the mom?
Number two.
Ain't bad.
She's the number one.
I am going with Koaio Leonard.
He's an embarrassment.
In what regard?
Because he doesn't play.
Because he plays when he wants to play.
He's playing every game.
He's playing every game.
It's up to you.
Kamish, you're first on number three.

(01:02:22):
I'm going to say.
Oh, who is your two?
Are you Dale Barra?
Dale Barra.
I had Dale Barra for that.
I'm going to say George Selenick.
You know what that is?
He replaced the babe as number three.
George Selker.
Yeah.
Selker.
Yeah, that's Selker.
I can't read my own writing.
I'm going A-Rod.
Good one.
I'll go Chris Paul.
Number three.
You know what I'm going with?

(01:02:42):
Joey Harrington.
Remember?
Yeah.
And he was a billboard nightly billboard guy out of Oregon.
That was like the first big marketing college guy.
And he materialized into zero.
I'm going to go Mark Mosley, because he was a single face
last guy.
But it was so low.
It was like under the head.
And he's straight on.
Smash, straighten the face.
He was awful.

(01:03:03):
He won an MVP.
No.
Yes.
With the Redskins?
Yes.
A kicker won an MVP.
Come on.
Look that up.
No.
Early 80s.
I'll bet my life on it.
Oh, no.
I'm not going to disagree.
We don't want that.
We don't want that.
Brett Farrow.
Trent Delfer.
That's a good one.
I agree.
Uncle Earl Weaver.
You guys know where I'm going.
What do you think of Dave Kingman's performance?

(01:03:25):
The Shawn Watson.
Get him out.
I like it.
I like it.
I got a toss up between the Cleveland version of Shawn
Kump, who was a jerk, no longer a rain man, or the UNLV
version of LJ.
Which one?
Make a decision.
No fence-sitters here.
Let's go.
LJ.
Number five.
Jay, you go first.
That's good, because I only have one guy, Reggie Bush.

(01:03:46):
I only got one guy, too.
Kwame Brown.
I got Kwame as well.
Yeah.
Shurestro Jackson.
He was number five.
They didn't have uniform numbers back then.
When he played in Greenville, minor weeks, 1939.
Oh, my god.
Number five.
Not 1939.
It's a champ fired a five.
Get out of here with that.
1937.
Mine's a red sock whose name backwards is Ramon.

(01:04:08):
Nomath?
That's amazing, by the way.
37, you said?
Yeah.
He got thrown out of baseball in 1919.
That's pretty impressive.
18 years later.
Angry Jack.
He's a minor league grad.
Bobby Cots.
They man tore over both six.
Yeah.
That's amazing.
Adam Morrison.
Adam Morrison crying on the court.

(01:04:29):
Oh, what a little baby.
Adam Morrison.
Jack Clark on the Yankees.
That's a good one.
What a disappointment he was.
Yeah.
He was number six.
Yeah, he was.
That's a good call.
That's crazy.
He was the one who got it after Rick Serone.
Wow, good call.
I say the goat.
Screw you because I got LaBum myself.
Number seven, easy for me.

(01:04:50):
Lot of your first.
Drew Henson.
OK, mine's Thysman because every day after dinner
in college, we watched a video of Lawrence Taylor
doing a number on him.
Go.
I'm closer to LaRon than you are.
Brian Scalabrini.
White Mama?
Yeah.
That's my pick.
I have several guys here.

(01:05:11):
You can't pick several.
Take your best one.
Don't take mine.
Colin Kaepernick.
That's a great one, by the way.
I'm going to say the dog fighter himself, Michael Vick.
Yeah, I was thinking about that one, too.
Special note to Ben Routhelsberger, though.
He's hard to keep off the list.
I had him on the list, Raplesberger.

(01:05:35):
Number eight, talented NBA player,
but I didn't like his dancing when he made normal shots
and won Walker.
Didn't love it.
Employee number eight.
Another NBA guy, Grayson Allen.
He's number eight.
Another NBA guy, the choke artist.
Let's roll Spreewell.
Yeah, that's where I was going with.
I had Spreewell too.

(01:05:55):
And he'd be in choke.
Pretty good, Nick, though.
Pretty good, Nick.
A good player.
He was, yeah.
Terrific player.
I'm going to throw one at you.
Chris Washburn.
Remember how good he could have been?
He's a miles brother?
He was number eight.
Number eight.
School?
School.
NC State.
Number picking a draft?
Lottery pick.
Three.
Yeah.
Number of stereos he took that time?

(01:06:16):
Three.
What a great book.
Three to eight.
Personal fouls.
Commission number nine.
Bryce Young.
Well, that's early, huh?
Pulling the plug on him early.
I'm going Gilbert Arenas.
That's a good one.
Agent nine.
So I was going to go with Joe Bacarca here, but I'm not.

(01:06:37):
That's what I can do.
No, no, no.
You can take him because I'm going to take Tony Parker.
Hanging out with teammates is not a good thing.
So who are you taking?
The Charter.
Yeah.
Fumble the ball.
What do you want with Parker hanging out with teammates?
Do you want me to get into it?
I'm thinking you guys are going to kill me.
No.
He's sleeping with Bremberry's wife while they're winning
championship.
That should be a high five.

(01:06:57):
What are you talking about?
Look at this guy.
Oh, my God.
My number nine is one of the best steroid guys of all time
in baseball.
Good enough for 50 home runs by only wearing
the side of the ball.
I know you're talking about.
Brady?
Brady Anderson.
He didn't just stay right.
He just went from 18.
He's eating right and doing push-ups.
Number 10, we're going to go with the Don Frather first.
I'm talking to Brady's teammate, Miguel Tajada.

(01:07:18):
The bigger they are.
The harder they fall.
Tajada.
The harder they fall.
I can't say.
Angry.
I'll go Eli Manny.
I can't stand him.
Commit.
Mac Jones.
Boycott this whole segment.
Mac Jones, I like it.
Rich Genman, block the ball.
Stanley threw a mixer in the dirt.
You got to make the play.

(01:07:39):
Yeah, I'm a mixer.
Come on.
Backhand down.
Come on.
Get in front of it.
Don't get him down on the shingards.
Richie Genman.
It's a wild pitch.
Another guy in the steroid front here,
but apparently he didn't use them,
even though his head grew about six sizes.
Rick's your own?
The Grinch?
Chipper.
Chipper Jones.
Yeah, you never hear anybody really accuse him, right?
Member to commission, we met somebody that

(01:08:01):
needed a little chicklet help.
He had a brave shirt down.
You were calling him Chipper Jones.
I don't remember that.
I do.
We went to a bar on round.
All right, guys.
It's Christmas time.

(01:08:22):
In your sports wish list, you could pick a player,
a new stadium, a new GM, anything.
What would you put under your tree
in this sports Christmas time?
Donfather, your first.
Woof.
Caleb Williams to the Giants.

(01:08:44):
Because Daniel Jones stinks.
Commish.
I'm going to go get Tommy Cullits, no?
You not going there?
Yukon, back to back national.
Oh.
Oh, OK.
He goes nady.
I mean, would you take nady light if they lost?
In the final?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'd take it.
Absolutely.
In college, would you take it nady light?

(01:09:06):
Absolutely.
That's in the 90s.
899.
Angry J.
You guys know the answer, don't you?
Cash clown?
Yeah.
Can we get a general manager?
Can our general manager get hit by a bus?
No.
You've got to have a tree under a tree
so you'd have to pick the new general manager.
Me.
You want Theo, don't you, angry?

(01:09:26):
You want Theo.
So for Christmas, you want to become the new Yankee J?
Yeah.
There's no doubt you could do a better job than that.
You definitely could do a better job.
My Christmas wish is anybody, the Yankees,
get in return when Stanton Waves is no trade clause.
You've got to give me somebody.
You've got to be tangible.
I'll take Don Zimmer's son.

(01:09:46):
No, how about the player to be named later?
Yeah.
Anybody.
Anybody.
So we both find out the answer to a possible next Christmas.
That's correct.
And under the tree, I would like a Sunday.
For Ron Rondo, she's coming her way for a fifth grade party.

(01:10:07):
From Champ Torres?
For us at fifth grade.
Five-year-old.
Five-year-old birthday party.
A steak at Texas Longhorn, a little treat at Max,
and a million dollar gift under the tree.
Thank you, champ, for joining us.
The champ is here.
Appreciate you having me.
The thon father is still our fantasy guy, but.
He's on a hot seat.
You've got to up your ranks.

(01:10:27):
You've got to up your ranks.
Executive producer Kevin Ross, the round mom to sound AJ,
but now a special producer and advisor in the house.
We're going to keep them anonymous,
but let's call them.
Good luck, Charm, Craig.
Zai.
Hey, Zai.
Thank you, everybody.
Happy holiday season.

(01:10:48):
Bristol boys.
Guys, be bristly.
Don't take junk from anybody.
Just bristle back at them.
Get back after this.

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.

I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
