(00:00):
We are back. The Spivey special podcast. We're bringing back the old show.
We got Grab Bag, we got Food Court Files, and yes, we still have Man Boobs. Hit that theme song.
Music.
(00:32):
Welcome to the Spivey special podcast. Troy, we did it. We are back.
We don't really know what to call the episode, but we're going to call this
Season 4, Episode 1. Because why not?
I think we lost track somewhere like 159. So we're just going to go Season 4,
Episode 1. We're bringing the old show back.
(00:55):
Just give the people what they want. You know, everyone's been reaching out
to us, both the people that listen to our show, and they're like,
hey, just bring it back old school.
Enough of watching those Kings play all the time, so let's go.
Here we are, bringing it back, all of your favorite categories with your two large men.
And we got a new category tonight. We got recommendation time.
(01:17):
We've still got some Kings talk. We got food court files. We're going to do some crap.
It's going to be a fun night. Buckle in. Troy, let's talk a little football to start this thing off.
Troy, Chiefs, Niners, Super Bowl. What are your thoughts?
Yeah, I thought both the championship games were pretty good.
(01:37):
Ravens just didn't play well.
Chiefs did. They had a really good game plan against Lamar Jackson,
as a lot of teams do, in the playoffs.
Ravens had a lot of stupid personal foul penalties. I don't think any of them
were egregiously called.
As a Ravens fan, I think I can say that.
And then the Lions, the gambler's going to gamble. You know,
(01:58):
he had a chance to go up three scores with 22 minutes left in the game on the other side there.
Went for it, gave all the mode to the Niners. The Niners kind of just ran with it.
So Chiefs Niners, I'm actually kind of pulling for the Chiefs now, just out of spite.
Chiefs have won one recently. I like to see the big droughts.
As a Cubs fan, I am all about the drought.
(02:19):
So I am pulling for the Chiefs. i don't really care about the game that much
but it's gonna be a lot of betting pretty usual for the super bowl i already got my price picks in,
troy's got me hooked on price picks that's my new thing it doesn't matter what
it is i wish i could get more outrageous ones i just like to bet on a keegan
dunk or a chris jones sack or just whatever the most outrageous one that you
(02:42):
could possibly do i wish we could get some like.
National Anthem length time bets. Can we just get wild for the Super Bowl?
I'm interested to see if they'll kind of put that on prize picks because the
first Super Bowl that I've been with prize picks, I haven't even been with them for a full year.
So maybe they will give us a little props. That would be fun.
(03:03):
Until you start doing like Call of Duty prize picks, I don't know if you're
really into it. I saw that. It was like deep.
I don't know. I don't know if I can get that far. I don't have money to blow
on that yet. That's wildness. You got to win a couple before you start firing on that.
Let me hit two and then I'll start betting Call of Duty in the middle of the night.
Why not? I got better odds than trying to figure out what Harrison Barnes is
(03:23):
going to do. No, absolutely.
All right, Trey. Well, we are changing back to the original.
Do you want to just get started right now? Move into our first one?
Why not? Let's give the people what they want. All right, Trey.
We'll take a quick break and come back with the recommendation time. Have you seen this show?
Best Tacos Ever. However, this book I just read, no, just kidding.
(03:45):
It's Recommendation Time.
All right, welcome to Recommendation Time.
Troy, we haven't done this one in a while. I'm excited to have it back.
I'm going to let you do the honors since you were the one that added this to
the beginning of the show.
Troy, what is a weird thing or just a normal thing that you recommend for everybody?
So we like to give the people what the Spivey Brothers like,
(04:07):
and that's not always what normal people like.
But this first one, I'm going to go just nice and easy. We're going to settle back in.
You know, season four, episode one, I'm going to go with the show Traders on Peacock.
It's a mix of a lot of different things. We're on season two now of Traders.
If you haven't seen it, it is on Peacock. As I said, the show basically is 22 people.
(04:29):
They're in Scotland. They're in this castle.
They got the Scottish guy as the host and three of the 22 end up being traders
And they play challenges.
And basically, it's like a clue type game where you have to try to figure out
who the traitors are based on how they're acting and different things that they do.
So very exciting show.
(04:51):
Interesting. It has a lot of people in the first season. It's half normal people
and then half reality stars.
Then the second season, they're like, yeah, we're going to get those normal
people out of there. And so they have like professional athletes.
Deontay Wilder was on season two.
Guys from the challenge like Johnny Banana, CT, Survivor people, Big Brother people.
You got Real Housewives on the show. So it's like a big mix.
(05:15):
It's like that's right up your alley. It's a gumbo. You know,
there's just so much going on that you just don't know what's going to happen.
So that is my first recommendation.
That is Traitors on Peacock.
I kind of want to watch that show now. And I don't even really like most of
those challenge shows, but they got everybody on there. It sounds like fun.
I think you really like it just because it's more of a strategic type game and
(05:38):
it's like people can't handle it lying to people because you vote people out
that you, as a trader, you vote people out that you know are faithfuls.
And it's wild. People can't handle it.
The people that are really good at those type of games, like Big Brother and
Survivor, they're in tears and they just can't do it. So it's really interesting.
(05:58):
And my current favorite show, it's Thursday Nights.
I believe it is 9 p.m. Eastern Time on Peacock.
I try. I'm also going to pick a show on Peacock, as we discussed on our live
show the other night. I think Peacock is, I think that's where it's at.
As much as I thought I didn't like Peacock, I like a lot of the shows that are
(06:20):
on there. The one that I'm watching now, it came out over the summer.
I think it started in July.
But that is Twisted Metal. And it is a very, very interesting show.
Anthony Mackie, who plays Falcon in the Marvel Universe.
Stephanie Beatriz from Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
And then Sweet Tooth, the crazy clown in the ice cream truck.
(06:40):
The body is Samoa Joe from wrestling, and the voice is Will Arnett.
And it is very entertaining. They managed to fit 20 of the characters across
the five or six Twisted Metal games all into season one.
And it's a lot of fun. They're just going along a post-apocalyptic world and
they've got guns on top of their cars and they're driving around and it's super
(07:02):
bloody and very entertaining.
As someone who grew up playing the game, I am more intrigued to maybe watch
that than a lot of people may be listening today.
Day but my all of the like weird little references to people even if they don't show up in the show,
like i think i'm like five or six episodes in but they go to new chicago and
(07:24):
calypso's there who's like the he's like the voice in all the twisted metal
games he's like the announcer but they go and he's like a secret voice that's
just there and you don't ever see him,
and they come up on the little bug and it's flower power and it's like okay
i remember all these these things yes now we are that was one of our favorite
games i think we played twisted metal 3.
(07:44):
Too much to the point where i don't think the disc stopped working we had like
beaten the game all the way through with every character on like all the difficulties
of that game great game for any child to grow up playing i think that's what
it says on the box is if you don't play twisted metal than FU.
(08:04):
Similar to Big Red Gum.
All right, Trey. Give me your second recommendation. This one's a little more
out there. Two shows, so we're pretty like...
We're pretty on the straight and narrow right now. Well, I'm going to go...
This may surprise you, but I'm going to kind of go out deep left field.
I'm going to go with a song.
I don't know if it would be up your alley, but I listen to a lot of music.
(08:27):
Whose alley is this song going to be up? Mine.
But it's a song that... This is for you to listen back to in a year and a year.
Oh, yeah, I do like that song.
So the song is I See You by Coco Jones.
It's one of those songs that you listen to, and you're like, oh, this jams.
It's kind of a slower song, like an R&B song, song
(08:49):
and then it like halfway through like it gets going
a little bit like almost rap-ish but not rap type
song so right now my favorite song you guys should all check it out listen to
it i see you by coco jones talks about getting left on red just all the things
that i can not really relate to but i mean sounds nice.
(09:17):
Oh i'll have to i'll have to listen to this song just to get a reference as
to what this is perfect most of the time i'm like where do you even find these
songs but all right we'll check it out because you recommended it thank you
try all pandora does is either gives me a random song that i absolutely love
or it's chris stapleton because he's on every single station on pandora,
All right, Trey, I'm going to get even weirder.
(09:39):
Okay. We did two TV shows. We did a song.
And now I'm going to recommend a product that you can find in stores or on Amazon.
And it is a meat thermometer. It is the Meter 2 Plus. I've had a bunch of meat
thermometers, smart ones.
This one is the best. The app is fantastic.
You can choose what you're cooking. When you put the thermometer in on the app,
(10:04):
it'll tell you what the inside temperature is.
It tells you what the ambient temperature around it is it gives
you alerts if there's a flare-up like if you get like if
it catches on fire you can go check on it it will also make an estimate of when
it will be done cooking so like we cooked a full chicken tonight and it was
like all right it will be ready in 58 minutes perfect and kind of now i can
(10:27):
watch two whole quarters of the kingpin while the chicken goes without freaking out.
Awesome. My new favorite thing. Well, I'm very happy to hear that you are eating
well, because I always worry about you in that department.
So I'm very happy you got your meat thermometer.
I mean, it'd probably be for my best interest to get salmonella with an undercooked
chicken or something, but not anymore. Meat thermometer, baby.
(10:51):
Yeah. As a guy who doesn't really cook that much, I don't really have the need for that.
But maybe down the road, you know, when I learn your ways, is now maybe with
the Meteor 2.0 or whatever it's called.
I haven't checked in the app, but maybe they have like mini corn dogs and you
just stick it in one and put it in the air fryer and it'll just let you know.
I don't know what the internal temperature of a mini corn dog is supposed to be, but.
(11:12):
I don't think you need a thermometer. It just tells you what to do on the box.
So I don't know why I would spend the money on the thermometer, but.
All right, Troy, I think that's it for recommendation time. Let's take a quick break.
Rick also before we do if you if you guys do have any recommendations that you
want to give and then maybe we can check them out and if we enjoy them we can
(11:37):
bring into this segment of recommendation time go ahead and send them to our
social medias on instagram x gonna give it to you,
at spivey special also facebook and
facebook or tiktok if you want to get weird yeah just
don't watch those old videos i mean this is season four
there's a lot of things that have happened in the first three seasons that we
(11:57):
may want to push under the rug a little bit fair
enough all right we're going to take a quick break and
we're going to come into our new category where did that come from where did
that come from where did that come from where did that come from where did that
come from right imagine you're playing a round of golf with your buddies few
(12:18):
beers deep lead on the pencil running low after back-to-back eights.
The four of you are on the green, birdie opportunity upcoming,
and your buddy leaves it short.
Instinctively, you yell, hit it, Alice, in which you are insinuating he hit
it like a girl, an overused line that gets a grin but rarely a laugh.
(12:39):
Then you think to yourself, who is Alice? The maid from the Brady Bunch?
The one from the the wonderland you may be shocked alice
is really a man spelled a-l-l-i-s-s peter alice to be exact the phrase came
from the 1963 rider cup where alice took on and defeated the great arnold palmer
(13:02):
alice was never a great putter and during his match peter missed a three-foot,
Someone in the crowd yelled, nice putt, Alice, and the rest is history.
So next time you yell, hit it, Alice, remember the excellent movie by Amanda Bynes. She's the man.
Sports Jog with the Spivey Brothers. Cubs are good. Get the ball to big country. Generic soccer take.
(13:27):
All right, that's enough. I'm out of breath. Welcome to Sports Jog.
That's been mostly what we've been doing on the show for the last,
I don't know, few months that we've been doing it.
But let's get into a little bit of Kings talk here, Troy. I was pretty optimistic
during the week, right in the episode for today, and then they ripped our heart
out tonight playing the Heat.
Not a great one. Heat were on a seven-game losing streak.
(13:50):
Kings are now 5-21 all-time in Miami since they've come to Sacramento,
and they look like they've been 5-21 in Miami. Kind of a rough one.
It's hard to win in the NBA on the road. That's all I got to say,
and the Kings on their longest road trip of the year,
seven game trip currently three in
one so to say that this would
(14:12):
be the game we would have lost i probably would have said maybe not but
um got one against the warriors got one against the mavericks got
one against a star-studded grizzlies team
that you and i could have started on so i'm happy
with where they're at i thought if they got three wins out of the
entire seven game road trip i'd be be happy so still
three more opportunities on this trip including a game i believe friday is our
(14:36):
next one up against the pacers that's got to be the one you got to win that's
the one i want to win the most of this whole trip i think the pace is going
to be good with siakam now they're having a little bit of a learning curve and
hopefully that's when we're catching them do it.
But we're also on a learning curve with harrison barnes in his fourth season
where he's just trying Trying to figure out if he's good or not.
(14:56):
Today he was not. He was a regular Harrison Barnes again.
He came back to earth after his 31 and 39 or whatever he had. 32 and 39, yeah.
Yeah, he had 2 and 10 from the three-point line last game.
He doesn't know if he needs to be aggressive or not aggressive or not rebound.
(15:17):
Well, he doesn't rebound, but I saw a funny video.
I think it got posted in the group chat that we're in. And then Sabonis is like,
yeah, I want to thank my teammates for getting me that rebound record.
They sure missed a lot of shots tonight or something like that.
That was pretty good. That was a good interview. I liked that one.
Yeah, Barnes 0 for 6 from 3 tonight, scored 9 points.
Four of those were in the last minute during garbage time after he just didn't
(15:43):
play defense on the last meaningful possession of the game that the Heat had.
So kind of frustrating. I think we're kind of seeing where, I mean,
we're right Right where we were last year, which we were ecstatic to be.
We ran it back that we can't really expect them to be much better.
Trade deadline's in eight days, I think, or seven days now.
We'll see if they make a move. I hope they do. There's a ceiling to this current
(16:05):
team, and we're kind of at it.
It's kind of probably four to six seeds more in there, and probably an early exit from the playoffs.
The issue with this Kings team is not everyone can get going at the same time.
It's like one week, one guy's good, and I think that's pretty normal over a
long season, like the NBA is with 82 games, but I just aren't clicking.
(16:27):
Just something seems wrong. Like either Fox is off or Monk is off or Barnes
is always off or Sabonis had like a couple bad weeks early-ish in the season.
It's just like no one can get the consistency of this team is very shocking to me.
Yeah, Sabonis has been great. Night in, night out, double-double.
I think it's up to 29 games in a row.
(16:49):
He triple-doubled tonight. night he's just putting up like wilt chamberlain
numbers like when you see his stats and they're like the only other person that's
done this is bolt chamberlain i was like you know you're having a good season
but like you said it's just inconsistent monk has been awful the last week.
Foxes there's been something wrong since like the beginning of the year i don't
quite know what it is i don't know if
(17:11):
he's hurt or doesn't know where he fits in
the offense it feels like he's just pulling up for three for no reason he's
shooting eight threes like he's buddy buckets or something It doesn't make
any sense I get that
it's your new toy You used to be bad at it
Now you're above average at it But you don't need to be
chucking all these threes Do the thing that you're special at You're the fastest
(17:32):
guy in the league Just go to the rim You could literally get to the rim every
single play If you wanted to You could either get a layup or go to the line
Or pull up from 7 feet When they go flying by you like in Top Gun And he just
hits that little 7 foot shot I just don't understand why he's going away from it,
Yeah, and I don't know, like, I really like that the defense for some people
(17:53):
have improved, as we'll talk about here in a little bit.
But again, the inconsistency is just they're giving me like 2000 Duke vibes.
Like if they hit their threes, they win. If they don't, they're going to lose by a lot.
So they got to figure out something besides that. I know that's the new NBA
(18:14):
is just hoist it and see what happens.
But I think they need to make a trade.
Absolutely do they need somebody bigger to
play the four keegan is outrageously good i didn't think he was going to be
good this quick he is i was looking at those advanced stats one of those like
weird lebron d stats for his on-ball defense he is the best wing defender in
(18:37):
the league by shooting percentage based on who's guarding and if you look at
the numbers it looks like.
It looks like a nom de awesome law stat line where it's
just like here's the numbers against Randy Moss and
it's like no catches that's basically what it looks like when you play Keegan.
Murray he shut down Luca he shut down basically everybody
that he's played Donovan Mitchell looked awful when
(18:57):
the Keegan's guarding him he's guarding Steph full court the whole
game he's run like 22 miles or however much
Steph Curry runs and he's still pretty
efficient on the other end I think he's needs to
get into better game shape to go full bore on
defense and still have have something left for offense you could see
earlier in the year the defense was great but
(19:17):
all of his shots are coming up short i think he's just winded from having
to guard the best guy every night yeah it's one of those frustrating
things is i think he could play the three
i think he can guard you know anywhere
from like you said one to four probably on
most teams so if we could get a
little length obviously you need a four
(19:38):
with length who can shoot got to be be able to spread it
out because saponis will be eating up that space in the middle
i think every team could add that and
be happy but i think it's like the pelicans
have nine of those guys and we have keegan and
that's it and minnesota yeah the best
and the raptors they traded two of them and they still have like six more it's
(20:00):
like where do you find these guys with the seven foot four wings one can we
get one of them please just uh we'll loan them loan them out we'll give them
bad let us borrow it for three games and see if it actually fixes the kings
and then we'll give them right back.
Yeah, so I think Barnes has to go, in my opinion. Herter has another one we
haven't really talked about.
(20:20):
Just up and down, all around. I like his defense, though.
His shooting's okay-ish. The shooting's been hit or miss, mostly miss,
but at least he is playing defense, which is more than a lot of the team right now.
Like, Monk is non-existent on defense. Barnes is awful at defense.
(20:44):
Trey Lyles isn't really that great.
He's kind of undersized for what they're trying to ask for him to play five
or wherever they're trying to get him.
He should be like, he's like a three and a half, four.
He's probably a four, I think would be his spot. But I just don't think that
they're comfortable with any of the other.
(21:05):
We have 900 bigs on the bench, but I don't think Brown's comfortable with really
Len or what's his face? Can't think of his name. McGee's good in spots.
He'll get rebounds. He's great at that pick and roll with Monk.
He'll get a block every once in a while. He's a pretty good rebounder,
but he is a lazy foul waiting to happen.
And he did like a post-up hook shot from like seven feet. It's like, what are you doing?
(21:30):
That's what we called for. That's what Brown drew up on the whiteboard,
obviously. I guess that's part of the deal.
Brown's actually, he seems like he's doing a pretty good job.
Like if you watch the game tonight, they're running the offense.
They have a million wide open threes and then they go 12 for 40 it's not his
fault they can't hit a three if they just shoot average they win tonight Miami will get you,
(21:52):
that's why they don't win there it's too much fun yeah I guess so they sure look tired.
But again, 3-1 thus far on this seven-game roadie, the longest one of the year.
Do you have a favorite trade target for the Kings?
I heard Jimmy Butler might be available for a trade. I heard that.
And I think it's only because Kendrick Perkins did a super hot take on Zach
(22:16):
Lowe's podcast about they should trade Jimmy Butler, and then next day you see all the like...
Where he would go if they traded him. Right, like it created all this content, like a Stephen A.
Smith in the morning just says something outrageous, just and then ESPN
has 12 hours of programming based off reacting reacting to that crazy thing
he said I would so on those lists the Kings were the third best odds to get
(22:40):
Jimmy Butler and I think he would fit absolutely because he could fit anywhere
yeah but if you can imagine him,
Egan well you might have to give Keegan to get Jimmy Butler I don't know I don't
think they're They're taking Barnes, Herter, and Mitchell.
Yeah, they'd have to blow it up. There are still two games over .500.
(23:03):
They'd have to go on another seven-game losing streak and just be like,
all right, we're going to go young core.
Let's trade Kevin Love. Let's trade Jimmy Butler, even though we just went to the finals last year.
If they get in, that's the scary thing.
Yeah. When Jimmy wants to play, he's like Jimmy from Seinfeld. Jimmy's good. Yeah.
(23:26):
All right, well, first writing loss, Kings still playing really well.
Still eight games above .500. I think they're still a five seed in the West.
I think they're not quite to that first tier where there's those four teams
that are all within a game of each other.
They can't beat the Pelicans. They can't beat the Clippers.
They're super matchup dependent, but I mean, they could get lucky.
(23:46):
They could get the Thunder and then the Timberwolves and then be on their way.
I don't think they could beat the Timberwolves. Or they play the Clippers and
they lose in four games in embarrassing fashion.
Clippers are going to be such a hard out.
It's a lot of time for those guys to stay healthy still, though.
That's the thing that you worry about. Same thing with the Suns.
(24:08):
If the Suns can get healthy, they can start clicking with Booker Durant and Beal.
As of tonight, the Suns' Big 3 has now played as many games as the Big 3 on the Nets did.
Did you see simmons came back and then got hurt in his first game sat out tonight
yeah that guy can't catch a break he got hit in the knee i read a meme that he has unlimited pto,
(24:34):
yeah that sounds right never works nope all right that's enough king's talk
i'm a little depressed let's have a little bit of fun here trying all right
let's move on to food court Files.
Alright, it's time for the Food Court Files. Alright, Troy, we got a fun one
(24:54):
for Food Court Files. You brought it back.
You gave me kind of like a loose idea of what you're doing.
Loosey goosey. You took that idea and went crazy with it.
Told me you went crazy. So I did a little bit of research on my own.
I would like to see what you have in your brain for this. Alright. Alright.
So basically what we did for Food Court Files this week was we each had to come
(25:19):
up with a restaurant, had to have a name for the restaurant,
had to have a theme for the restaurant.
You have to have an appetizer list, an entree list, and a dessert list for people
to travel to come to consume is actually what's in the notes.
So that's a little shot behind the curtain there for you guys.
(25:40):
But I'll go first. First, so the name of my restaurant is called Cafe Disco,
and it's an office-themed restaurant. Of course it is.
So my appetizers are Ryan's Started the Fire. They're in the starter section. It's a cheese pita.
(26:00):
There's also another appetizer are cheese balls, but you can't eat them.
The waiter has to throw them at you, and you have to catch them in your mouth.
There's also pretzels because at cafe
disco every day is pretzel day and there's
also can i get the works yep this
(26:20):
is it only the works are only the works and then
there's meatballs to reference when jim
would just prank dwight and stanley with
meatballs and they just go home with meatballs balls the only thing that you
can drink is milk like michael ordered at hooters there's not a margarita machine
(26:41):
not here just milk that's all that might shy people away but you got to be there.
Entrees are chicken pot pie and let me rephrase an entire family-sized chicken
pot pie And the other entree is Kevin's Chili with Undercooked Onions, Pressed Garlic,
(27:07):
Diced Whole Tomatoes, and Ancho Chilies.
You can add to either of those bacon. It's grilled on a George Foreman grill.
And the sides for your entrees are broccoli, but you have to eat it stem first.
It's a new food for me.
(27:29):
Hers chips and beets, because the thought of putting one of your beets in my mouth.
And then we have two desserts at Cafe Disco.
We have Fudgy the Whale, and we have Angela's Double Fudge Brownies.
So that's my restaurant the cafe i'm
(27:49):
surprised this doesn't exist i would go
to this restaurant if it did exist we should
be able to go to scran pennsylvania and go to cafe disco and now taking this
are there anything that you would add to my menu i know that you said the margarita
machine there was a lot on there that i was thinking debating like maybe like
(28:12):
a ham and cheese sandwich, because that's what Jim always ate.
There's got to be some sort of pie math involved.
I was going to put Laverne's pie stand on there.
Pies from there. I was going to also put... What is he? Oh, the gabagool.
The gabagool, yeah.
I was going to put that. There's just so many chicken. Alfredo.
(28:36):
I've never ate so much Alfredo. No water water though rabies is the fear of
water i have the chicken breast hold it hold the chicken is that really what
you want no i want the gourmet hot dog.
Yeah a lot of good options for the cafe disco watched a few episodes last night
(28:58):
those are the things that came up get a chicken or fish too for the leftovers
from the wedding that didn't happen I've been with Jim, I mean, Pam and Roy.
A lot of good meals. Alfredo's Pizza Cafe.
There could be pizza as well.
I like it, Troy. I think it would be a pretty good idea. I'm surprised it doesn't already exist.
(29:20):
I don't know that for a fact. It could exist. It didn't come up in my research.
But also, I don't really know how to use a computer.
So two things could have happened. Mm-hmm. Just check out Wolf. Mm-hmm.
All right, Troy. I came up with a restaurant as well.
I didn't know you were going to go office theme. I also went
(29:44):
office theme no I'm just kidding that's that
was my thought that you would go that way but now the
name of my restaurant is called Sahara Breeze
and I'll go through my menu and when
you understand what my menu is I want you to jump in
and once you have a guess as to why I called
it it's alright so for my appetizers we
(30:06):
have a lentil soup we have deviled eggs
and oysters for our entrees we have a we have a chili bar where you can make
your own chili we have a mexican foods it's kind of a eclectic menu like a cheesecake
factory we have a mexican food part we have bean burritos we got quesadillas,
(30:29):
We also have an Italian part, which is lasagna and deep dish pizza.
We have a full-time bean girl. There's actually three bean girls at my restaurant
for different types of beans.
I'm not sure what's going on, but I think the Sahara might be coming out a different end there.
(30:51):
I think you might have figured it out, Troy.
The diarrhea breeze. All of the entrees come with a vegetable medley with Brussels
sprouts, broccoli, and cauliflower.
Just clearing it out.
Our specialty is real ice cream root beer floats. And bran muffins.
(31:15):
So it's called the Sahara Breeze. My tagline for it is, for when it's not going to happen.
I like that. Just right. Just a real low pressure date night.
You're going with a co-worker or somewhere where you don't want anything weird to happen.
Going to the Sahara Breeze tonight.
There's a lot of good options at your restaurant, though. So,
(31:36):
it's kind of an eclectic menu. Everyone kind of enjoys it.
Later that evening, you won't really enjoy it. You'll have the Sahara Breeze.
That's okay. I mean, some of the best meals finish with a little breeze.
So, you kind of just have to bite the bullet. You know what I mean?
I like that. Sahara Breeze makes you feel fine.
(31:58):
Is that a thing? I think that's Summer Breeze.
Which would also work, but I like Sahara Breeze
because it was kind of fancy that's fancier
i thought it was going to be like some like a bunch of
hot well this is getting weird but i thought like a lot of hot like items like
peppers and i mean you could throw those in there too you picked up on the theme
(32:21):
pretty good i i think the bean girl was probably the giveaway no it was everything
that you said like i i hate deviled eggs.
I will not touch a double A. So that just made me think that was the way you were going to go.
I think it'd be kind of fun. Bring somebody there on like a third or fourth date.
You really want to know who they are as a real person. You put them in this situation.
(32:45):
I think we put this up on the socials. Would you rather come to the Sahara Breeze
or would you rather come to Cafe Disco?
We'll get a little vote out. Make sure, obviously, you're listening to the episode.
So thank you. Because the Sahara Breeze also has weird lighting and uncomfortable
chairs, and it's just a little too warm and kind of humid.
(33:06):
And the bathrooms are out of order.
But the food is delicious, and it's surprisingly inexpensive because I'm using
my lottery money. Mm-hmm. Love it.
All right. I'm so happy to be back with Food Court Files.
That was a very, very fun little... This is what the show has just been missing.
And it's just this cleverness from the both of us not having to watch the Kings
(33:30):
to spare us for the rest of the evening. It's true.
The Kings are the Sierra Breeze of sports, I want to say. I would agree with that.
It sounds like a good idea, but you regret it later on.
Yeah, like three quarters in, you're like, this was an awful idea.
Why did I have six deviled eggs? All right, Troy. Right. If it's not been weird
(33:55):
enough, let's get real weird and do some crap. Crap.
Crap. Crap.
Music.
(34:16):
All right, Troy, let's jump into grab bag. It's like you've got three.
I think I've got three. Oh, boy.
Let's have ourselves a grab bag kind of night.
Yeah. I'll let you go first. You always let me go first. That's so sweet of
you. Was it youth before obesity or what is this saying?
I think that's what it is. Probably. I think it was in a book I read.
(34:40):
All right, so I'm going to not go by this order. I had another one today and
I should have written it down, but I didn't and I'm kicking myself.
But this is called the shoe question. The shoe question.
Okay. All right. If you could only wear one type of shoe the rest of your life,
which shoe would you choose?
(35:02):
So I'm talking about like a flip-flop, a running shoe, a dress shoe, etc.
You can only wear one shoe. So no matter what occasion you're going to,
whether you're going to a wedding, whether you're going to the beach,
you're going to wherever.
Going on a boat, you can only wear that type of shoe for the rest of your life.
(35:24):
What shoe are you going with? I'd have to be a solid black running shoe.
Do you think that would fit all your occasions i
think so i could still play golf in it i could
wear it to work you could kind of wear it
to a wedding that's kind of trendy to wear tennis shoes with your tuxedo or
whatever the beach would be kind of weird but how often am i going to the beach
(35:46):
that's true yeah i didn't really i mean weston wears shoes to the beach so it's
true i feel like when you go to the beach they all try to push you back in the ocean but.
I think that's a probably a safe pick i was kind of going along those lines,
I think I'd be able to get away with that, too, at work. I have to have an all
(36:08):
black or all brown shoe, so mine would have to be one of those colors so I could get away with it.
I'd probably wear, they would, my work shoes would look hideous at a wedding, though.
So I just can't go to any more weddings.
You can't have very many left at this point. You're old now.
Well, what's nice, too, I mean, if you go to a funeral, I guess,
(36:30):
as we get older, the black fits in. But everyone would be like,
why are you wearing a non-slip restaurant shoe to this wedding?
See, I would miss my shower shoes and flip-flops.
But I guess, I mean, if you're trying to be... In Sacramento,
it's tough to not pick flip-flop, but then it's rainy or it's cold.
(36:50):
You'd be like Jason Kelsey. He wears flip-flops in Buffalo.
But you can't wear flip-flops to a formal event or work.
Yeah, he couldn't pick flip-flops. that'd be that'd be wild i mean i could do
it i think they got some real comfortable ones,
they're all black your safety department be like yeah it's totally
fine if you wear shower shoes there's no rules man
(37:14):
there's no rules yeah i
don't think that would fly so i think i'd have to go somewhat similar but i
don't think i'd like it i liked i like the diversity have
like two different pairs of shoes so i like to switch it up
can't try i got one for you there's a
prize on the line you have to
do this for one whole year the prize
(37:37):
is a hundred thousand dollars eighty thousand
dollars four hundred
dollars you're not
even the manager of your own fictional bed and breakfast a hundred
thousand dollars it could be whatever money you want you have
to do one of these two things and i will let you
(37:58):
hire year for the entire year do i get rest in between like do i get to sleep
oh these won't these are just going to be like minor inconveniences but if you
slip up you get nothing so i have to do it 365 times yes Yes, it was 365 days in a row.
Okay. Okay, option one, only use the metric system.
(38:23):
If you use feet or inches or cups or yards or acres, you get nothing.
Option two, you can only speak with a French accent.
Oh, I would do the French accent in a heartbeat. For one, I barely even know
what the metric system is, so I'm already out there.
(38:45):
I'd have to practice. Do I get to practice either option, though,
before I start my year or tomorrow?
You get 24 hours. 24 hours of practice in my French accent.
So no matter when I talk. Or 24 metric minutes.
I don't know what those are called. called berets i think
(39:06):
that's what they're called i might have to do the i'd
probably stick with the french accent my only
problem is that's a lot because it's like 24 7
you know what i mean yeah and how often am
i metricing i don't know play
golf yeah i can't use yards but
i could be be french yeah he's
(39:31):
a lot of baguettes let me tell you what i think
that's french i don't know so you go accent i i
think i would have to go accent but i just worry that i
would slip up but if i did i'd hopefully how
about like eight hours a day i had
to be french and then like two hours a day i could
be normal 24 hours all
(39:53):
right 365 straight days of either only using
the metrics system or only speaking in a french accent i'd
probably have to go french accent what would
you go i think i would try the metric system
one i think i would lose both oh i would definitely lose both but at least i
think with both we each lose pretty early though it's not like we'd go like
(40:17):
a hundred days of being french and then all of a sudden hey i think you could
commit to the the metric system.
You just have to think a little bit longer. Yeah, before you talked.
Do you have to get a range finder that's just metric, though?
I guess so. Or have a conversion chart?
(40:37):
That'd be tough yeah i'm going french accent okay
i think i go metric system okay i've
had questions somewhat similar to this but
i think that was like palm trees i can't remember but it's
a huge storm okay okay wind rain just fire everything going on okay you could
(41:03):
either be in a a small fishing boat in the middle of a lake.
Huge lake, like Lake Winnipesaukee or something like that,
with all this going on, or at the top of a Ferris wheel, and the power doesn't
(41:26):
work anymore, and you can't climb out.
You're either stuck in the middle of a lake, or you're stuck at the top of a
Ferris wheel, with a crazy storm going on. Which one are you choosing?
I think I would have to pick the fishing boat.
And you have to have a reasoning. You can't just pick one.
How long am I in this situation for? It's a 36-hour storm.
(41:51):
Oh, then give me the...
The Ferris wheel's at the top? Yeah, it's stuck at the top. No lightning.
Okay, then I'll go Ferris wheel. i think that i would be too scared of drowning
in like a crazy windstorm in a lake i've been in on in a boat when it's really
(42:12):
windy and it just feels like the boat's gonna capsize plus i'm pretty big is
it a rowboat because i don't know if i could be in a row it's like a it's like a,
give you like a 14 foot fishing boat i don't know if that's a big fishing boat,
No, just right at the storm on the Ferris wheel.
I'd be too scared of drowning in the storm, like Perfect Storm or Titanic or
(42:38):
any boat-sinking adventure.
I'm going neither.
Of course. I guess I'd have to go, I don't like heights, I don't really like water, so for me...
That makes it a good question. that makes it real tough I hate Ferris wheels
(43:00):
I think I'm going to have to go fishing boat but that would be a miserable 36
hours because I'd get seasick and be yakking.
Ferris wheel would be rocking too just the
thought of that tipping over this is a big ferris wheel
too it's not like just your run-of-the-mill it's like
disneyland sized ferris wheel
(43:20):
so if it fell over i would die yeah obviously
it's not an easy question does that change
anything for you no i'd still go ferris wheel
all right troy this is
a fictional game of 21 the basketball game
mm-hmm the entire Kings roster is
(43:40):
playing in this game mm-hmm by some crazy
stroke of luck everyone is tied at 19 in this
version of 21 if you get your bucket you're out and everyone else keeps playing
like if you get there first your first place and we go all the way through 15
mm-hmm who's the last man standing who scores last factoring in size and rebounding
(44:06):
and defense and shooting,
because you'd have to get the rebound, take it back out.
You'd have to be able to score one on score. And then two late, too. Yeah.
I'm thinking, like, I mean, one to 15, that's a lot.
There's a lot of guys that are on the end of the bench that I'm not even going
to factor into this. I'm going to be, like, more one through 10 for me.
(44:29):
And I'm going to go Davion Mitchell is going to be the last one,
just due to pure size, the ability to not really create his own shot and score.
I think that even a guy like Herter will get lucky with a bucket.
Because what happens when the bucket goes, whoever gets it? What was that?
(44:50):
So let's say Fox makes it, he gets first place. Who gets the ball then?
Just whoever grabs it through the net? It's a jump ball.
So everyone's trying to jump it? Yes, at center court.
Like a nine-man jump ball yeah okay i'm
gonna i'm gonna say three flies up no boy mitchell's
a good pick i think it's harrison barnes trying i don't
(45:13):
think he is decisive enough to get an old man i mean if he got the ball he doesn't
have to i just don't think he gets i don't think he gets the ball is the thing
he's obviously not obviously he has when he can't guard anybody well he already
He already has 19 points, so he had to do something.
He was gifted the 19 points.
(45:35):
I don't think that's how that game works, to be honest with you.
Well, everyone's been pretty hot because they all got to 19.
I think it's Harrison Barnes.
I just don't see him creating a turnover or getting a rebound or having the
tenacity to just take them all. I think he could get a bucket.
I think he'd be the last one to get the ball.
(45:55):
Maybe Alex Lenn, but he's tall. He could get it. i don't think i don't think
mitchell's gonna take barnes when it got down to the final two one-on-one i
think mitchell get a bucket before mitchell mitchell could get a steal though,
think he could not anymore he doesn't play defense anymore oh
that's right he just hoists threes because
that's what you got him for offer him
(46:18):
or whatever his name is fair enough i would like to
watch that though who do you think scores the first bucket in
the 15-man jump ball he's got to come down with that ball right well well he's
not going to win it he's never won a jump in his life but he might be able to
get the ball somehow yeah and he just bully ball he just is like 102 and two
pump fakes until they all go at the same time and then he lays it in.
(46:41):
I think that's what would happen.
He's just timing it and he's like, oh, that was 13 that time.
Two more. Okay. My last one. It's called the power couple question.
Okay. So the most popular couple obviously right now is Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey.
Going back to the 90s or 2000s, you
(47:05):
have to make a couple one sport figure
one musical artist that
would be bigger than taylor swift and travis
kelsey right now so you would have to put
like madonna or michael jackson was yeah it'd
have to be like michael jordan taylor swift's obviously
what it have to be like michael jordan in like 1993
(47:27):
after the dream
team like peak height where like you can't go outside
of of his hotel and then he'd have to be dating in
1992 selena be selena
would be a good one she was i think it might be madonna she
died 92 madonna that's like dick tracy
(47:48):
madonna just thinking about that but
then i was also thinking like both of those people would be i
mean madonna's probably not as famous as taylor swift
is now but michael jordan would be is more popular michael jordan than Travis
Kelsey so that's what I was trying to think like you have to find that fine
line because you could go Michael Jordan is dating Princess Diana but that's
(48:11):
not you're not listening to the game it's a musical person he is a singer.
What about see this is the other way I went is I went male Michael Jackson the
most famous person in the world,
like who are yeah that's what 19 with michael jacks cheryl miller yeah that's
(48:34):
the only problem that you go that way carrie strug you could it have to be like
who's like a gymnast tennis player oh it could be like monica billy jean.
It's not gonna happen there no idea so but
michael jackson might be able to just carry that duo he's
clearly more famous than the two of them i think michael jordan is
(48:56):
famous enough enough but then you could go like and
you could find a famous singer what if
you went this might be weird like i don't know
how they would actually function but you go
beyonce okay and
like lionel messe i don't
know i pronounced that awful but can you say it again i liked it
(49:16):
messy and beyonce i
mean that might give you a little more but i just
don't think beyonce say i mean she's very popular but sporting
wise i think if you got one of those soccer players like
if you went like a spice girl the problem
is they're both like super charismatic
like cool people that you want to like watch and.
(49:38):
See what they're doing i would not care to follow
the story of final messy or you wouldn't
i'm not saying you i'm saying
the most people would follow all of you need like
a david beckham and like a spice girl or something
so that the thing that already existed what if
(49:59):
you went david like david beckham and a posh spice
or somebody what if you went david beck what years
would he be in madonna no i
think michael jordan marilyn spears marilyn
monroe okay now we're going way back can
you even name what who would that would be would
that be 60s yeah 50s 60s
(50:23):
i couldn't to be honest with you and frank
sinatra the thing is i don't think people were as popular back then they were
more popular because there was less going on there's only three tv stations
the lowest rated tv show when rob lowe started acting he was on the lowest rated
tv show 19 million people watched every episode.
(50:46):
Like a high-end sunday football game nothing gets 19 million so what you're
telling me is there's like 12 celebrities and if you happen to be one of them
you're the most famous person in the world.
Charlie chaplin tell me about
it there's a guy i would follow i'm a
mom he does when
(51:09):
he's of duty athlete singer
i just thought it was an interesting question like
if you could just you know make a couple obviously
they wouldn't obviously be together but you could
pick a more famous athlete than travis kelsey definitely
taylor swift's up there that's what i mean i would say that taylor
swift's probably the michael jackson slash madonna of
(51:31):
our of this era it'd have have to be
michael jordan and some singer michael
jordan and selena i'm telling you in 1992
let's look at the all right
this isn't how grab back works though this is the bar room debate
we don't go on the interwebs come on you're
cheating this is my show i do whatever i want i don't
(51:54):
know if that's true but Celine Dion there
it is his heart will go on that'd be
a weird one she could date he could date Lisa Left Eye Lopez like Andre Rison
did that doesn't end well that ends up in a little uh Sahara Breeze Whitney
Houston oh that might be the couple because Whitney Houston Bobby Bobby Brown
(52:18):
is, that's a superpower couple.
But if you could replace Bobby Brown.
With Michael Jordan. Get around Michael Jordan. Maybe we get more Whitney Houston years too.
And we get another Bobby Brown album. And that might push Jordan to not go to baseball.
And he doesn't get those last three rings. But he got the ring that's most important.
(52:40):
That's Whitney Houston.
Okay, we'll go with that. I think that would do it. Whitney Houston, Michael Jordan.
I like that. I'm glad that we talked it out I think we figured it out I think
that would have to be the athlete I wanted Michael Jackson to be with someone
but I just don't think it's going to work I just don't know enough about,
(53:02):
1980s female athletes that we could put them with it'd have to be a tennis player,
or like I said not even soccer or like a gymnast it'd have to be like,
more an ice skater I just don't think there's enough famous there it is there it is Tanya Harding,
Nancy Kerrigan and Wayne Gretzky see that's what's hard that's wrong that doesn't
(53:26):
even work because that's two athletes again Wayne Gretzky no I think Michael
Jordan is more popular than Wayne Gretzky worldwide,
Harrison Barnes.
Wait a minute and Kesha yeah,
How do you feel about Lisa Loeb? And Scooter Smith.
(53:50):
There it is. We did it. All right. Nailed it. We did it. Shut it down,
Troy. All right. What's your last one you got?
Let's just end it there. I think that was good. I'll save this one for next
one. That was a good question, Troy. I like that one.
I just thought it was topical. I don't think we'll ever really talk about Taylor
Swift and Travis Kelsey on our show.
(54:11):
I think we will again next week. I promise you.
It will happen oh because he's got a question about it no probably because it's
the super bowl's coming up and it'll be a whole segment we'll just have to create
it get the swifties involved why not i think that's the only way this popularity
grows we just talk eris tour,
(54:32):
i love it i'm in what is your favorite taylor swift album i'm gonna have to
pass on that but you should listen to i see you by coco jones.
Is coco jones a guy or a girl the
girl okay so coco jones but i i thought
she was uh dwight howard she gets cooking in the middle of the song and i thought
(54:54):
it was justin timberlake so that's how you know it's good i had to look i'm
like how come it doesn't say featured by justin timberlake but it was just her
she was getting it all right chime that was a lot of fun boss i'm glad we got The old show back.

Welcome to the Spivey special podcast. Troy, we did it. We are back.
We don't really know what to call the episode, but we're going to call this
Season 4, Episode 1. Because why not?
I think we lost track somewhere like 159. So we're just going to go Season 4,
Episode 1. We're bringing the old show back.
(00:55):
Just give the people what they want. You know, everyone's been reaching out
to us, both the people that listen to our show, and they're like,
hey, just bring it back old school.
Enough of watching those Kings play all the time, so let's go.
Here we are, bringing it back, all of your favorite categories with your two large men.
And we got a new category tonight. We got recommendation time.
(01:17):
We've still got some Kings talk. We got food court files. We're going to do some crap.
It's going to be a fun night. Buckle in. Troy, let's talk a little football to start this thing off.
Troy, Chiefs, Niners, Super Bowl. What are your thoughts?
Yeah, I thought both the championship games were pretty good.
(01:37):
Ravens just didn't play well.
Chiefs did. They had a really good game plan against Lamar Jackson,
as a lot of teams do, in the playoffs.
Ravens had a lot of stupid personal foul penalties. I don't think any of them
were egregiously called.
As a Ravens fan, I think I can say that.
And then the Lions, the gambler's going to gamble. You know,
(01:58):
he had a chance to go up three scores with 22 minutes left in the game on the other side there.
Went for it, gave all the mode to the Niners. The Niners kind of just ran with it.
So Chiefs Niners, I'm actually kind of pulling for the Chiefs now, just out of spite.
Chiefs have won one recently. I like to see the big droughts.
As a Cubs fan, I am all about the drought.
(02:19):
So I am pulling for the Chiefs. i don't really care about the game that much
but it's gonna be a lot of betting pretty usual for the super bowl i already got my price picks in,
troy's got me hooked on price picks that's my new thing it doesn't matter what
it is i wish i could get more outrageous ones i just like to bet on a keegan
dunk or a chris jones sack or just whatever the most outrageous one that you
(02:42):
could possibly do i wish we could get some like.
National Anthem length time bets. Can we just get wild for the Super Bowl?
I'm interested to see if they'll kind of put that on prize picks because the
first Super Bowl that I've been with prize picks, I haven't even been with them for a full year.
So maybe they will give us a little props. That would be fun.
(03:03):
Until you start doing like Call of Duty prize picks, I don't know if you're
really into it. I saw that. It was like deep.
I don't know. I don't know if I can get that far. I don't have money to blow
on that yet. That's wildness. You got to win a couple before you start firing on that.
Let me hit two and then I'll start betting Call of Duty in the middle of the night.
Why not? I got better odds than trying to figure out what Harrison Barnes is
(03:23):
going to do. No, absolutely.
All right, Trey. Well, we are changing back to the original.
Do you want to just get started right now? Move into our first one?
Why not? Let's give the people what they want. All right, Trey.
We'll take a quick break and come back with the recommendation time. Have you seen this show?
Best Tacos Ever. However, this book I just read, no, just kidding.
(03:45):
It's Recommendation Time.
All right, welcome to Recommendation Time.
Troy, we haven't done this one in a while. I'm excited to have it back.
I'm going to let you do the honors since you were the one that added this to
the beginning of the show.
Troy, what is a weird thing or just a normal thing that you recommend for everybody?
So we like to give the people what the Spivey Brothers like,
(04:07):
and that's not always what normal people like.
But this first one, I'm going to go just nice and easy. We're going to settle back in.
You know, season four, episode one, I'm going to go with the show Traders on Peacock.
It's a mix of a lot of different things. We're on season two now of Traders.
If you haven't seen it, it is on Peacock. As I said, the show basically is 22 people.
(04:29):
They're in Scotland. They're in this castle.
They got the Scottish guy as the host and three of the 22 end up being traders
And they play challenges.
And basically, it's like a clue type game where you have to try to figure out
who the traitors are based on how they're acting and different things that they do.
So very exciting show.
(04:51):
Interesting. It has a lot of people in the first season. It's half normal people
and then half reality stars.
Then the second season, they're like, yeah, we're going to get those normal
people out of there. And so they have like professional athletes.
Deontay Wilder was on season two.
Guys from the challenge like Johnny Banana, CT, Survivor people, Big Brother people.
You got Real Housewives on the show. So it's like a big mix.
(05:15):
It's like that's right up your alley. It's a gumbo. You know,
there's just so much going on that you just don't know what's going to happen.
So that is my first recommendation.
That is Traitors on Peacock.
I kind of want to watch that show now. And I don't even really like most of
those challenge shows, but they got everybody on there. It sounds like fun.
I think you really like it just because it's more of a strategic type game and
(05:38):
it's like people can't handle it lying to people because you vote people out
that you, as a trader, you vote people out that you know are faithfuls.
And it's wild. People can't handle it.
The people that are really good at those type of games, like Big Brother and
Survivor, they're in tears and they just can't do it. So it's really interesting.
(05:58):
And my current favorite show, it's Thursday Nights.
I believe it is 9 p.m. Eastern Time on Peacock.
I try. I'm also going to pick a show on Peacock, as we discussed on our live
show the other night. I think Peacock is, I think that's where it's at.
As much as I thought I didn't like Peacock, I like a lot of the shows that are
(06:20):
on there. The one that I'm watching now, it came out over the summer.
I think it started in July.
But that is Twisted Metal. And it is a very, very interesting show.
Anthony Mackie, who plays Falcon in the Marvel Universe.
Stephanie Beatriz from Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
And then Sweet Tooth, the crazy clown in the ice cream truck.
(06:40):
The body is Samoa Joe from wrestling, and the voice is Will Arnett.
And it is very entertaining. They managed to fit 20 of the characters across
the five or six Twisted Metal games all into season one.
And it's a lot of fun. They're just going along a post-apocalyptic world and
they've got guns on top of their cars and they're driving around and it's super
(07:02):
bloody and very entertaining.
As someone who grew up playing the game, I am more intrigued to maybe watch
that than a lot of people may be listening today.
Day but my all of the like weird little references to people even if they don't show up in the show,
like i think i'm like five or six episodes in but they go to new chicago and
(07:24):
calypso's there who's like the he's like the voice in all the twisted metal
games he's like the announcer but they go and he's like a secret voice that's
just there and you don't ever see him,
and they come up on the little bug and it's flower power and it's like okay
i remember all these these things yes now we are that was one of our favorite
games i think we played twisted metal 3.
(07:44):
Too much to the point where i don't think the disc stopped working we had like
beaten the game all the way through with every character on like all the difficulties
of that game great game for any child to grow up playing i think that's what
it says on the box is if you don't play twisted metal than FU.
(08:04):
Similar to Big Red Gum.
All right, Trey. Give me your second recommendation. This one's a little more
out there. Two shows, so we're pretty like...
We're pretty on the straight and narrow right now. Well, I'm going to go...
This may surprise you, but I'm going to kind of go out deep left field.
I'm going to go with a song.
I don't know if it would be up your alley, but I listen to a lot of music.
(08:27):
Whose alley is this song going to be up? Mine.
But it's a song that... This is for you to listen back to in a year and a year.
Oh, yeah, I do like that song.
So the song is I See You by Coco Jones.
It's one of those songs that you listen to, and you're like, oh, this jams.
It's kind of a slower song, like an R&B song, song
(08:49):
and then it like halfway through like it gets going
a little bit like almost rap-ish but not rap type
song so right now my favorite song you guys should all check it out listen to
it i see you by coco jones talks about getting left on red just all the things
that i can not really relate to but i mean sounds nice.
(09:17):
Oh i'll have to i'll have to listen to this song just to get a reference as
to what this is perfect most of the time i'm like where do you even find these
songs but all right we'll check it out because you recommended it thank you
try all pandora does is either gives me a random song that i absolutely love
or it's chris stapleton because he's on every single station on pandora,
All right, Trey, I'm going to get even weirder.
(09:39):
Okay. We did two TV shows. We did a song.
And now I'm going to recommend a product that you can find in stores or on Amazon.
And it is a meat thermometer. It is the Meter 2 Plus. I've had a bunch of meat
thermometers, smart ones.
This one is the best. The app is fantastic.
You can choose what you're cooking. When you put the thermometer in on the app,
(10:04):
it'll tell you what the inside temperature is.
It tells you what the ambient temperature around it is it gives
you alerts if there's a flare-up like if you get like if
it catches on fire you can go check on it it will also make an estimate of when
it will be done cooking so like we cooked a full chicken tonight and it was
like all right it will be ready in 58 minutes perfect and kind of now i can
(10:27):
watch two whole quarters of the kingpin while the chicken goes without freaking out.
Awesome. My new favorite thing. Well, I'm very happy to hear that you are eating
well, because I always worry about you in that department.
So I'm very happy you got your meat thermometer.
I mean, it'd probably be for my best interest to get salmonella with an undercooked
chicken or something, but not anymore. Meat thermometer, baby.
(10:51):
Yeah. As a guy who doesn't really cook that much, I don't really have the need for that.
But maybe down the road, you know, when I learn your ways, is now maybe with
the Meteor 2.0 or whatever it's called.
I haven't checked in the app, but maybe they have like mini corn dogs and you
just stick it in one and put it in the air fryer and it'll just let you know.
I don't know what the internal temperature of a mini corn dog is supposed to be, but.
(11:12):
I don't think you need a thermometer. It just tells you what to do on the box.
So I don't know why I would spend the money on the thermometer, but.
All right, Troy, I think that's it for recommendation time. Let's take a quick break.
Rick also before we do if you if you guys do have any recommendations that you
want to give and then maybe we can check them out and if we enjoy them we can
(11:37):
bring into this segment of recommendation time go ahead and send them to our
social medias on instagram x gonna give it to you,
at spivey special also facebook and
facebook or tiktok if you want to get weird yeah just
don't watch those old videos i mean this is season four
there's a lot of things that have happened in the first three seasons that we
(11:57):
may want to push under the rug a little bit fair
enough all right we're going to take a quick break and
we're going to come into our new category where did that come from where did
that come from where did that come from where did that come from where did that
come from right imagine you're playing a round of golf with your buddies few
(12:18):
beers deep lead on the pencil running low after back-to-back eights.
The four of you are on the green, birdie opportunity upcoming,
and your buddy leaves it short.
Instinctively, you yell, hit it, Alice, in which you are insinuating he hit
it like a girl, an overused line that gets a grin but rarely a laugh.
(12:39):
Then you think to yourself, who is Alice? The maid from the Brady Bunch?
The one from the the wonderland you may be shocked alice
is really a man spelled a-l-l-i-s-s peter alice to be exact the phrase came
from the 1963 rider cup where alice took on and defeated the great arnold palmer
(13:02):
alice was never a great putter and during his match peter missed a three-foot,
Someone in the crowd yelled, nice putt, Alice, and the rest is history.
So next time you yell, hit it, Alice, remember the excellent movie by Amanda Bynes. She's the man.
Sports Jog with the Spivey Brothers. Cubs are good. Get the ball to big country. Generic soccer take.
(13:27):
All right, that's enough. I'm out of breath. Welcome to Sports Jog.
That's been mostly what we've been doing on the show for the last,
I don't know, few months that we've been doing it.
But let's get into a little bit of Kings talk here, Troy. I was pretty optimistic
during the week, right in the episode for today, and then they ripped our heart
out tonight playing the Heat.
Not a great one. Heat were on a seven-game losing streak.
(13:50):
Kings are now 5-21 all-time in Miami since they've come to Sacramento,
and they look like they've been 5-21 in Miami. Kind of a rough one.
It's hard to win in the NBA on the road. That's all I got to say,
and the Kings on their longest road trip of the year,
seven game trip currently three in
one so to say that this would
(14:12):
be the game we would have lost i probably would have said maybe not but
um got one against the warriors got one against the mavericks got
one against a star-studded grizzlies team
that you and i could have started on so i'm happy
with where they're at i thought if they got three wins out of the
entire seven game road trip i'd be be happy so still
three more opportunities on this trip including a game i believe friday is our
(14:36):
next one up against the pacers that's got to be the one you got to win that's
the one i want to win the most of this whole trip i think the pace is going
to be good with siakam now they're having a little bit of a learning curve and
hopefully that's when we're catching them do it.
But we're also on a learning curve with harrison barnes in his fourth season
where he's just trying Trying to figure out if he's good or not.
(14:56):
Today he was not. He was a regular Harrison Barnes again.
He came back to earth after his 31 and 39 or whatever he had. 32 and 39, yeah.
Yeah, he had 2 and 10 from the three-point line last game.
He doesn't know if he needs to be aggressive or not aggressive or not rebound.
(15:17):
Well, he doesn't rebound, but I saw a funny video.
I think it got posted in the group chat that we're in. And then Sabonis is like,
yeah, I want to thank my teammates for getting me that rebound record.
They sure missed a lot of shots tonight or something like that.
That was pretty good. That was a good interview. I liked that one.
Yeah, Barnes 0 for 6 from 3 tonight, scored 9 points.
Four of those were in the last minute during garbage time after he just didn't
(15:43):
play defense on the last meaningful possession of the game that the Heat had.
So kind of frustrating. I think we're kind of seeing where, I mean,
we're right Right where we were last year, which we were ecstatic to be.
We ran it back that we can't really expect them to be much better.
Trade deadline's in eight days, I think, or seven days now.
We'll see if they make a move. I hope they do. There's a ceiling to this current
(16:05):
team, and we're kind of at it.
It's kind of probably four to six seeds more in there, and probably an early exit from the playoffs.
The issue with this Kings team is not everyone can get going at the same time.
It's like one week, one guy's good, and I think that's pretty normal over a
long season, like the NBA is with 82 games, but I just aren't clicking.
(16:27):
Just something seems wrong. Like either Fox is off or Monk is off or Barnes
is always off or Sabonis had like a couple bad weeks early-ish in the season.
It's just like no one can get the consistency of this team is very shocking to me.
Yeah, Sabonis has been great. Night in, night out, double-double.
I think it's up to 29 games in a row.
(16:49):
He triple-doubled tonight. night he's just putting up like wilt chamberlain
numbers like when you see his stats and they're like the only other person that's
done this is bolt chamberlain i was like you know you're having a good season
but like you said it's just inconsistent monk has been awful the last week.
Foxes there's been something wrong since like the beginning of the year i don't
quite know what it is i don't know if
(17:11):
he's hurt or doesn't know where he fits in
the offense it feels like he's just pulling up for three for no reason he's
shooting eight threes like he's buddy buckets or something It doesn't make
any sense I get that
it's your new toy You used to be bad at it
Now you're above average at it But you don't need to be
chucking all these threes Do the thing that you're special at You're the fastest
(17:32):
guy in the league Just go to the rim You could literally get to the rim every
single play If you wanted to You could either get a layup or go to the line
Or pull up from 7 feet When they go flying by you like in Top Gun And he just
hits that little 7 foot shot I just don't understand why he's going away from it,
Yeah, and I don't know, like, I really like that the defense for some people
(17:53):
have improved, as we'll talk about here in a little bit.
But again, the inconsistency is just they're giving me like 2000 Duke vibes.
Like if they hit their threes, they win. If they don't, they're going to lose by a lot.
So they got to figure out something besides that. I know that's the new NBA
(18:14):
is just hoist it and see what happens.
But I think they need to make a trade.
Absolutely do they need somebody bigger to
play the four keegan is outrageously good i didn't think he was going to be
good this quick he is i was looking at those advanced stats one of those like
weird lebron d stats for his on-ball defense he is the best wing defender in
(18:37):
the league by shooting percentage based on who's guarding and if you look at
the numbers it looks like.
It looks like a nom de awesome law stat line where it's
just like here's the numbers against Randy Moss and
it's like no catches that's basically what it looks like when you play Keegan.
Murray he shut down Luca he shut down basically everybody
that he's played Donovan Mitchell looked awful when
(18:57):
the Keegan's guarding him he's guarding Steph full court the whole
game he's run like 22 miles or however much
Steph Curry runs and he's still pretty
efficient on the other end I think he's needs to
get into better game shape to go full bore on
defense and still have have something left for offense you could see
earlier in the year the defense was great but
(19:17):
all of his shots are coming up short i think he's just winded from having
to guard the best guy every night yeah it's one of those frustrating
things is i think he could play the three
i think he can guard you know anywhere
from like you said one to four probably on
most teams so if we could get a
little length obviously you need a four
(19:38):
with length who can shoot got to be be able to spread it
out because saponis will be eating up that space in the middle
i think every team could add that and
be happy but i think it's like the pelicans
have nine of those guys and we have keegan and
that's it and minnesota yeah the best
and the raptors they traded two of them and they still have like six more it's
(20:00):
like where do you find these guys with the seven foot four wings one can we
get one of them please just uh we'll loan them loan them out we'll give them
bad let us borrow it for three games and see if it actually fixes the kings
and then we'll give them right back.
Yeah, so I think Barnes has to go, in my opinion. Herter has another one we
haven't really talked about.
(20:20):
Just up and down, all around. I like his defense, though.
His shooting's okay-ish. The shooting's been hit or miss, mostly miss,
but at least he is playing defense, which is more than a lot of the team right now.
Like, Monk is non-existent on defense. Barnes is awful at defense.
(20:44):
Trey Lyles isn't really that great.
He's kind of undersized for what they're trying to ask for him to play five
or wherever they're trying to get him.
He should be like, he's like a three and a half, four.
He's probably a four, I think would be his spot. But I just don't think that
they're comfortable with any of the other.
(21:05):
We have 900 bigs on the bench, but I don't think Brown's comfortable with really
Len or what's his face? Can't think of his name. McGee's good in spots.
He'll get rebounds. He's great at that pick and roll with Monk.
He'll get a block every once in a while. He's a pretty good rebounder,
but he is a lazy foul waiting to happen.
And he did like a post-up hook shot from like seven feet. It's like, what are you doing?
(21:30):
That's what we called for. That's what Brown drew up on the whiteboard,
obviously. I guess that's part of the deal.
Brown's actually, he seems like he's doing a pretty good job.
Like if you watch the game tonight, they're running the offense.
They have a million wide open threes and then they go 12 for 40 it's not his
fault they can't hit a three if they just shoot average they win tonight Miami will get you,
(21:52):
that's why they don't win there it's too much fun yeah I guess so they sure look tired.
But again, 3-1 thus far on this seven-game roadie, the longest one of the year.
Do you have a favorite trade target for the Kings?
I heard Jimmy Butler might be available for a trade. I heard that.
And I think it's only because Kendrick Perkins did a super hot take on Zach
(22:16):
Lowe's podcast about they should trade Jimmy Butler, and then next day you see all the like...
Where he would go if they traded him. Right, like it created all this content, like a Stephen A.
Smith in the morning just says something outrageous, just and then ESPN
has 12 hours of programming based off reacting reacting to that crazy thing
he said I would so on those lists the Kings were the third best odds to get
(22:40):
Jimmy Butler and I think he would fit absolutely because he could fit anywhere
yeah but if you can imagine him,
Egan well you might have to give Keegan to get Jimmy Butler I don't know I don't
think they're They're taking Barnes, Herter, and Mitchell.
Yeah, they'd have to blow it up. There are still two games over .500.
(23:03):
They'd have to go on another seven-game losing streak and just be like,
all right, we're going to go young core.
Let's trade Kevin Love. Let's trade Jimmy Butler, even though we just went to the finals last year.
If they get in, that's the scary thing.
Yeah. When Jimmy wants to play, he's like Jimmy from Seinfeld. Jimmy's good. Yeah.
(23:26):
All right, well, first writing loss, Kings still playing really well.
Still eight games above .500. I think they're still a five seed in the West.
I think they're not quite to that first tier where there's those four teams
that are all within a game of each other.
They can't beat the Pelicans. They can't beat the Clippers.
They're super matchup dependent, but I mean, they could get lucky.
(23:46):
They could get the Thunder and then the Timberwolves and then be on their way.
I don't think they could beat the Timberwolves. Or they play the Clippers and
they lose in four games in embarrassing fashion.
Clippers are going to be such a hard out.
It's a lot of time for those guys to stay healthy still, though.
That's the thing that you worry about. Same thing with the Suns.
(24:08):
If the Suns can get healthy, they can start clicking with Booker Durant and Beal.
As of tonight, the Suns' Big 3 has now played as many games as the Big 3 on the Nets did.
Did you see simmons came back and then got hurt in his first game sat out tonight
yeah that guy can't catch a break he got hit in the knee i read a meme that he has unlimited pto,
(24:34):
yeah that sounds right never works nope all right that's enough king's talk
i'm a little depressed let's have a little bit of fun here trying all right
let's move on to food court Files.
Alright, it's time for the Food Court Files. Alright, Troy, we got a fun one
(24:54):
for Food Court Files. You brought it back.
You gave me kind of like a loose idea of what you're doing.
Loosey goosey. You took that idea and went crazy with it.
Told me you went crazy. So I did a little bit of research on my own.
I would like to see what you have in your brain for this. Alright. Alright.
So basically what we did for Food Court Files this week was we each had to come
(25:19):
up with a restaurant, had to have a name for the restaurant,
had to have a theme for the restaurant.
You have to have an appetizer list, an entree list, and a dessert list for people
to travel to come to consume is actually what's in the notes.
So that's a little shot behind the curtain there for you guys.
(25:40):
But I'll go first. First, so the name of my restaurant is called Cafe Disco,
and it's an office-themed restaurant. Of course it is.
So my appetizers are Ryan's Started the Fire. They're in the starter section. It's a cheese pita.
(26:00):
There's also another appetizer are cheese balls, but you can't eat them.
The waiter has to throw them at you, and you have to catch them in your mouth.
There's also pretzels because at cafe
disco every day is pretzel day and there's
also can i get the works yep this
(26:20):
is it only the works are only the works and then
there's meatballs to reference when jim
would just prank dwight and stanley with
meatballs and they just go home with meatballs balls the only thing that you
can drink is milk like michael ordered at hooters there's not a margarita machine
(26:41):
not here just milk that's all that might shy people away but you got to be there.
Entrees are chicken pot pie and let me rephrase an entire family-sized chicken
pot pie And the other entree is Kevin's Chili with Undercooked Onions, Pressed Garlic,
(27:07):
Diced Whole Tomatoes, and Ancho Chilies.
You can add to either of those bacon. It's grilled on a George Foreman grill.
And the sides for your entrees are broccoli, but you have to eat it stem first.
It's a new food for me.
(27:29):
Hers chips and beets, because the thought of putting one of your beets in my mouth.
And then we have two desserts at Cafe Disco.
We have Fudgy the Whale, and we have Angela's Double Fudge Brownies.
So that's my restaurant the cafe i'm
(27:49):
surprised this doesn't exist i would go
to this restaurant if it did exist we should
be able to go to scran pennsylvania and go to cafe disco and now taking this
are there anything that you would add to my menu i know that you said the margarita
machine there was a lot on there that i was thinking debating like maybe like
(28:12):
a ham and cheese sandwich, because that's what Jim always ate.
There's got to be some sort of pie math involved.
I was going to put Laverne's pie stand on there.
Pies from there. I was going to also put... What is he? Oh, the gabagool.
The gabagool, yeah.
I was going to put that. There's just so many chicken. Alfredo.
(28:36):
I've never ate so much Alfredo. No water water though rabies is the fear of
water i have the chicken breast hold it hold the chicken is that really what
you want no i want the gourmet hot dog.
Yeah a lot of good options for the cafe disco watched a few episodes last night
(28:58):
those are the things that came up get a chicken or fish too for the leftovers
from the wedding that didn't happen I've been with Jim, I mean, Pam and Roy.
A lot of good meals. Alfredo's Pizza Cafe.
There could be pizza as well.
I like it, Troy. I think it would be a pretty good idea. I'm surprised it doesn't already exist.
(29:20):
I don't know that for a fact. It could exist. It didn't come up in my research.
But also, I don't really know how to use a computer.
So two things could have happened. Mm-hmm. Just check out Wolf. Mm-hmm.
All right, Troy. I came up with a restaurant as well.
I didn't know you were going to go office theme. I also went
(29:44):
office theme no I'm just kidding that's that
was my thought that you would go that way but now the
name of my restaurant is called Sahara Breeze
and I'll go through my menu and when
you understand what my menu is I want you to jump in
and once you have a guess as to why I called
it it's alright so for my appetizers we
(30:06):
have a lentil soup we have deviled eggs
and oysters for our entrees we have a we have a chili bar where you can make
your own chili we have a mexican foods it's kind of a eclectic menu like a cheesecake
factory we have a mexican food part we have bean burritos we got quesadillas,
(30:29):
We also have an Italian part, which is lasagna and deep dish pizza.
We have a full-time bean girl. There's actually three bean girls at my restaurant
for different types of beans.
I'm not sure what's going on, but I think the Sahara might be coming out a different end there.
(30:51):
I think you might have figured it out, Troy.
The diarrhea breeze. All of the entrees come with a vegetable medley with Brussels
sprouts, broccoli, and cauliflower.
Just clearing it out.
Our specialty is real ice cream root beer floats. And bran muffins.
(31:15):
So it's called the Sahara Breeze. My tagline for it is, for when it's not going to happen.
I like that. Just right. Just a real low pressure date night.
You're going with a co-worker or somewhere where you don't want anything weird to happen.
Going to the Sahara Breeze tonight.
There's a lot of good options at your restaurant, though. So,
(31:36):
it's kind of an eclectic menu. Everyone kind of enjoys it.
Later that evening, you won't really enjoy it. You'll have the Sahara Breeze.
That's okay. I mean, some of the best meals finish with a little breeze.
So, you kind of just have to bite the bullet. You know what I mean?
I like that. Sahara Breeze makes you feel fine.
(31:58):
Is that a thing? I think that's Summer Breeze.
Which would also work, but I like Sahara Breeze
because it was kind of fancy that's fancier
i thought it was going to be like some like a bunch of
hot well this is getting weird but i thought like a lot of hot like items like
peppers and i mean you could throw those in there too you picked up on the theme
(32:21):
pretty good i i think the bean girl was probably the giveaway no it was everything
that you said like i i hate deviled eggs.
I will not touch a double A. So that just made me think that was the way you were going to go.
I think it'd be kind of fun. Bring somebody there on like a third or fourth date.
You really want to know who they are as a real person. You put them in this situation.
(32:45):
I think we put this up on the socials. Would you rather come to the Sahara Breeze
or would you rather come to Cafe Disco?
We'll get a little vote out. Make sure, obviously, you're listening to the episode.
So thank you. Because the Sahara Breeze also has weird lighting and uncomfortable
chairs, and it's just a little too warm and kind of humid.
(33:06):
And the bathrooms are out of order.
But the food is delicious, and it's surprisingly inexpensive because I'm using
my lottery money. Mm-hmm. Love it.
All right. I'm so happy to be back with Food Court Files.
That was a very, very fun little... This is what the show has just been missing.
And it's just this cleverness from the both of us not having to watch the Kings
(33:30):
to spare us for the rest of the evening. It's true.
The Kings are the Sierra Breeze of sports, I want to say. I would agree with that.
It sounds like a good idea, but you regret it later on.
Yeah, like three quarters in, you're like, this was an awful idea.
Why did I have six deviled eggs? All right, Troy. Right. If it's not been weird
(33:55):
enough, let's get real weird and do some crap. Crap.
Crap. Crap.
Music.
(34:16):
All right, Troy, let's jump into grab bag. It's like you've got three.
I think I've got three. Oh, boy.
Let's have ourselves a grab bag kind of night.
Yeah. I'll let you go first. You always let me go first. That's so sweet of
you. Was it youth before obesity or what is this saying?
I think that's what it is. Probably. I think it was in a book I read.
(34:40):
All right, so I'm going to not go by this order. I had another one today and
I should have written it down, but I didn't and I'm kicking myself.
But this is called the shoe question. The shoe question.
Okay. All right. If you could only wear one type of shoe the rest of your life,
which shoe would you choose?
(35:02):
So I'm talking about like a flip-flop, a running shoe, a dress shoe, etc.
You can only wear one shoe. So no matter what occasion you're going to,
whether you're going to a wedding, whether you're going to the beach,
you're going to wherever.
Going on a boat, you can only wear that type of shoe for the rest of your life.
(35:24):
What shoe are you going with? I'd have to be a solid black running shoe.
Do you think that would fit all your occasions i
think so i could still play golf in it i could
wear it to work you could kind of wear it
to a wedding that's kind of trendy to wear tennis shoes with your tuxedo or
whatever the beach would be kind of weird but how often am i going to the beach
(35:46):
that's true yeah i didn't really i mean weston wears shoes to the beach so it's
true i feel like when you go to the beach they all try to push you back in the ocean but.
I think that's a probably a safe pick i was kind of going along those lines,
I think I'd be able to get away with that, too, at work. I have to have an all
(36:08):
black or all brown shoe, so mine would have to be one of those colors so I could get away with it.
I'd probably wear, they would, my work shoes would look hideous at a wedding, though.
So I just can't go to any more weddings.
You can't have very many left at this point. You're old now.
Well, what's nice, too, I mean, if you go to a funeral, I guess,
(36:30):
as we get older, the black fits in. But everyone would be like,
why are you wearing a non-slip restaurant shoe to this wedding?
See, I would miss my shower shoes and flip-flops.
But I guess, I mean, if you're trying to be... In Sacramento,
it's tough to not pick flip-flop, but then it's rainy or it's cold.
(36:50):
You'd be like Jason Kelsey. He wears flip-flops in Buffalo.
But you can't wear flip-flops to a formal event or work.
Yeah, he couldn't pick flip-flops. that'd be that'd be wild i mean i could do
it i think they got some real comfortable ones,
they're all black your safety department be like yeah it's totally
fine if you wear shower shoes there's no rules man
(37:14):
there's no rules yeah i
don't think that would fly so i think i'd have to go somewhat similar but i
don't think i'd like it i liked i like the diversity have
like two different pairs of shoes so i like to switch it up
can't try i got one for you there's a
prize on the line you have to
do this for one whole year the prize
(37:37):
is a hundred thousand dollars eighty thousand
dollars four hundred
dollars you're not
even the manager of your own fictional bed and breakfast a hundred
thousand dollars it could be whatever money you want you have
to do one of these two things and i will let you
(37:58):
hire year for the entire year do i get rest in between like do i get to sleep
oh these won't these are just going to be like minor inconveniences but if you
slip up you get nothing so i have to do it 365 times yes Yes, it was 365 days in a row.
Okay. Okay, option one, only use the metric system.
(38:23):
If you use feet or inches or cups or yards or acres, you get nothing.
Option two, you can only speak with a French accent.
Oh, I would do the French accent in a heartbeat. For one, I barely even know
what the metric system is, so I'm already out there.
(38:45):
I'd have to practice. Do I get to practice either option, though,
before I start my year or tomorrow?
You get 24 hours. 24 hours of practice in my French accent.
So no matter when I talk. Or 24 metric minutes.
I don't know what those are called. called berets i think
(39:06):
that's what they're called i might have to do the i'd
probably stick with the french accent my only
problem is that's a lot because it's like 24 7
you know what i mean yeah and how often am
i metricing i don't know play
golf yeah i can't use yards but
i could be be french yeah he's
(39:31):
a lot of baguettes let me tell you what i think
that's french i don't know so you go accent i i
think i would have to go accent but i just worry that i
would slip up but if i did i'd hopefully how
about like eight hours a day i had
to be french and then like two hours a day i could
be normal 24 hours all
(39:53):
right 365 straight days of either only using
the metrics system or only speaking in a french accent i'd
probably have to go french accent what would
you go i think i would try the metric system
one i think i would lose both oh i would definitely lose both but at least i
think with both we each lose pretty early though it's not like we'd go like
(40:17):
a hundred days of being french and then all of a sudden hey i think you could
commit to the the metric system.
You just have to think a little bit longer. Yeah, before you talked.
Do you have to get a range finder that's just metric, though?
I guess so. Or have a conversion chart?
(40:37):
That'd be tough yeah i'm going french accent okay
i think i go metric system okay i've
had questions somewhat similar to this but
i think that was like palm trees i can't remember but it's
a huge storm okay okay wind rain just fire everything going on okay you could
(41:03):
either be in a a small fishing boat in the middle of a lake.
Huge lake, like Lake Winnipesaukee or something like that,
with all this going on, or at the top of a Ferris wheel, and the power doesn't
(41:26):
work anymore, and you can't climb out.
You're either stuck in the middle of a lake, or you're stuck at the top of a
Ferris wheel, with a crazy storm going on. Which one are you choosing?
I think I would have to pick the fishing boat.
And you have to have a reasoning. You can't just pick one.
How long am I in this situation for? It's a 36-hour storm.
(41:51):
Oh, then give me the...
The Ferris wheel's at the top? Yeah, it's stuck at the top. No lightning.
Okay, then I'll go Ferris wheel. i think that i would be too scared of drowning
in like a crazy windstorm in a lake i've been in on in a boat when it's really
(42:12):
windy and it just feels like the boat's gonna capsize plus i'm pretty big is
it a rowboat because i don't know if i could be in a row it's like a it's like a,
give you like a 14 foot fishing boat i don't know if that's a big fishing boat,
No, just right at the storm on the Ferris wheel.
I'd be too scared of drowning in the storm, like Perfect Storm or Titanic or
(42:38):
any boat-sinking adventure.
I'm going neither.
Of course. I guess I'd have to go, I don't like heights, I don't really like water, so for me...
That makes it a good question. that makes it real tough I hate Ferris wheels
(43:00):
I think I'm going to have to go fishing boat but that would be a miserable 36
hours because I'd get seasick and be yakking.
Ferris wheel would be rocking too just the
thought of that tipping over this is a big ferris wheel
too it's not like just your run-of-the-mill it's like
disneyland sized ferris wheel
(43:20):
so if it fell over i would die yeah obviously
it's not an easy question does that change
anything for you no i'd still go ferris wheel
all right troy this is
a fictional game of 21 the basketball game
mm-hmm the entire Kings roster is
(43:40):
playing in this game mm-hmm by some crazy
stroke of luck everyone is tied at 19 in this
version of 21 if you get your bucket you're out and everyone else keeps playing
like if you get there first your first place and we go all the way through 15
mm-hmm who's the last man standing who scores last factoring in size and rebounding
(44:06):
and defense and shooting,
because you'd have to get the rebound, take it back out.
You'd have to be able to score one on score. And then two late, too. Yeah.
I'm thinking, like, I mean, one to 15, that's a lot.
There's a lot of guys that are on the end of the bench that I'm not even going
to factor into this. I'm going to be, like, more one through 10 for me.
(44:29):
And I'm going to go Davion Mitchell is going to be the last one,
just due to pure size, the ability to not really create his own shot and score.
I think that even a guy like Herter will get lucky with a bucket.
Because what happens when the bucket goes, whoever gets it? What was that?
(44:50):
So let's say Fox makes it, he gets first place. Who gets the ball then?
Just whoever grabs it through the net? It's a jump ball.
So everyone's trying to jump it? Yes, at center court.
Like a nine-man jump ball yeah okay i'm
gonna i'm gonna say three flies up no boy mitchell's
a good pick i think it's harrison barnes trying i don't
(45:13):
think he is decisive enough to get an old man i mean if he got the ball he doesn't
have to i just don't think he gets i don't think he gets the ball is the thing
he's obviously not obviously he has when he can't guard anybody well he already
He already has 19 points, so he had to do something.
He was gifted the 19 points.
(45:35):
I don't think that's how that game works, to be honest with you.
Well, everyone's been pretty hot because they all got to 19.
I think it's Harrison Barnes.
I just don't see him creating a turnover or getting a rebound or having the
tenacity to just take them all. I think he could get a bucket.
I think he'd be the last one to get the ball.
(45:55):
Maybe Alex Lenn, but he's tall. He could get it. i don't think i don't think
mitchell's gonna take barnes when it got down to the final two one-on-one i
think mitchell get a bucket before mitchell mitchell could get a steal though,
think he could not anymore he doesn't play defense anymore oh
that's right he just hoists threes because
that's what you got him for offer him
(46:18):
or whatever his name is fair enough i would like to
watch that though who do you think scores the first bucket in
the 15-man jump ball he's got to come down with that ball right well well he's
not going to win it he's never won a jump in his life but he might be able to
get the ball somehow yeah and he just bully ball he just is like 102 and two
pump fakes until they all go at the same time and then he lays it in.
(46:41):
I think that's what would happen.
He's just timing it and he's like, oh, that was 13 that time.
Two more. Okay. My last one. It's called the power couple question.
Okay. So the most popular couple obviously right now is Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey.
Going back to the 90s or 2000s, you
(47:05):
have to make a couple one sport figure
one musical artist that
would be bigger than taylor swift and travis
kelsey right now so you would have to put
like madonna or michael jackson was yeah it'd
have to be like michael jordan taylor swift's obviously
what it have to be like michael jordan in like 1993
(47:27):
after the dream
team like peak height where like you can't go outside
of of his hotel and then he'd have to be dating in
1992 selena be selena
would be a good one she was i think it might be madonna she
died 92 madonna that's like dick tracy
(47:48):
madonna just thinking about that but
then i was also thinking like both of those people would be i
mean madonna's probably not as famous as taylor swift
is now but michael jordan would be is more popular michael jordan than Travis
Kelsey so that's what I was trying to think like you have to find that fine
line because you could go Michael Jordan is dating Princess Diana but that's
(48:11):
not you're not listening to the game it's a musical person he is a singer.
What about see this is the other way I went is I went male Michael Jackson the
most famous person in the world,
like who are yeah that's what 19 with michael jacks cheryl miller yeah that's
(48:34):
the only problem that you go that way carrie strug you could it have to be like
who's like a gymnast tennis player oh it could be like monica billy jean.
It's not gonna happen there no idea so but
michael jackson might be able to just carry that duo he's
clearly more famous than the two of them i think michael jordan is
(48:56):
famous enough enough but then you could go like and
you could find a famous singer what if
you went this might be weird like i don't know
how they would actually function but you go
beyonce okay and
like lionel messe i don't
know i pronounced that awful but can you say it again i liked it
(49:16):
messy and beyonce i
mean that might give you a little more but i just
don't think beyonce say i mean she's very popular but sporting
wise i think if you got one of those soccer players like
if you went like a spice girl the problem
is they're both like super charismatic
like cool people that you want to like watch and.
(49:38):
See what they're doing i would not care to follow
the story of final messy or you wouldn't
i'm not saying you i'm saying
the most people would follow all of you need like
a david beckham and like a spice girl or something
so that the thing that already existed what if
(49:59):
you went david like david beckham and a posh spice
or somebody what if you went david beck what years
would he be in madonna no i
think michael jordan marilyn spears marilyn
monroe okay now we're going way back can
you even name what who would that would be would
that be 60s yeah 50s 60s
(50:23):
i couldn't to be honest with you and frank
sinatra the thing is i don't think people were as popular back then they were
more popular because there was less going on there's only three tv stations
the lowest rated tv show when rob lowe started acting he was on the lowest rated
tv show 19 million people watched every episode.
(50:46):
Like a high-end sunday football game nothing gets 19 million so what you're
telling me is there's like 12 celebrities and if you happen to be one of them
you're the most famous person in the world.
Charlie chaplin tell me about
it there's a guy i would follow i'm a
mom he does when
(51:09):
he's of duty athlete singer
i just thought it was an interesting question like
if you could just you know make a couple obviously
they wouldn't obviously be together but you could
pick a more famous athlete than travis kelsey definitely
taylor swift's up there that's what i mean i would say that taylor
swift's probably the michael jackson slash madonna of
(51:31):
our of this era it'd have have to be
michael jordan and some singer michael
jordan and selena i'm telling you in 1992
let's look at the all right
this isn't how grab back works though this is the bar room debate
we don't go on the interwebs come on you're
cheating this is my show i do whatever i want i don't
(51:54):
know if that's true but Celine Dion there
it is his heart will go on that'd be
a weird one she could date he could date Lisa Left Eye Lopez like Andre Rison
did that doesn't end well that ends up in a little uh Sahara Breeze Whitney
Houston oh that might be the couple because Whitney Houston Bobby Bobby Brown
(52:18):
is, that's a superpower couple.
But if you could replace Bobby Brown.
With Michael Jordan. Get around Michael Jordan. Maybe we get more Whitney Houston years too.
And we get another Bobby Brown album. And that might push Jordan to not go to baseball.
And he doesn't get those last three rings. But he got the ring that's most important.
(52:40):
That's Whitney Houston.
Okay, we'll go with that. I think that would do it. Whitney Houston, Michael Jordan.
I like that. I'm glad that we talked it out I think we figured it out I think
that would have to be the athlete I wanted Michael Jackson to be with someone
but I just don't think it's going to work I just don't know enough about,
(53:02):
1980s female athletes that we could put them with it'd have to be a tennis player,
or like I said not even soccer or like a gymnast it'd have to be like,
more an ice skater I just don't think there's enough famous there it is there it is Tanya Harding,
Nancy Kerrigan and Wayne Gretzky see that's what's hard that's wrong that doesn't
(53:26):
even work because that's two athletes again Wayne Gretzky no I think Michael
Jordan is more popular than Wayne Gretzky worldwide,
Harrison Barnes.
Wait a minute and Kesha yeah,
How do you feel about Lisa Loeb? And Scooter Smith.
(53:50):
There it is. We did it. All right. Nailed it. We did it. Shut it down,
Troy. All right. What's your last one you got?
Let's just end it there. I think that was good. I'll save this one for next
one. That was a good question, Troy. I like that one.
I just thought it was topical. I don't think we'll ever really talk about Taylor
Swift and Travis Kelsey on our show.
(54:11):
I think we will again next week. I promise you.
It will happen oh because he's got a question about it no probably because it's
the super bowl's coming up and it'll be a whole segment we'll just have to create
it get the swifties involved why not i think that's the only way this popularity
grows we just talk eris tour,
(54:32):
i love it i'm in what is your favorite taylor swift album i'm gonna have to
pass on that but you should listen to i see you by coco jones.
Is coco jones a guy or a girl the
girl okay so coco jones but i i thought
she was uh dwight howard she gets cooking in the middle of the song and i thought
(54:54):
it was justin timberlake so that's how you know it's good i had to look i'm
like how come it doesn't say featured by justin timberlake but it was just her
she was getting it all right chime that was a lot of fun boss i'm glad we got The old show back.
