I like it.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
It was good sauce and I just got very animated
about Wicked Studio here.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
Yeah, you guys, you guys really uh really sold it.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
You you weren't going to go anyway. But the three
minutes you guys just spent yelling at each other. Ben
and I are like, yeah, that sounds great.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
Yeah, I'm not gonna spend my money.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
And it's the only part where you're like, right, yeah,
but you say this is thirty minutes.
Speaker 6 (00:57):
Yeah you said that one part too.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
It's a long arc of that story that just didn't
need to be in there to.
Speaker 6 (01:04):
An already long movie that is at the bottom of
my list when it comes to type of movies that
I like to watch. If you say this is a musical, boy,
I it's got.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
To be a really dynamic like great, like great.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Maybe never you never watched that fantastic watch it like
Swept the for crying out, really good one that is
not of a good movie.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
No, not Chicago. Never seen The Greatest Showman? Nope, not
for me. You ores it just Shrek was awesome. I've
seen every Shrek Shreks gret I think, I think, I mean,
if they would make more Shreks, they'd have more of
my money.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Shrek the Halls maybe one of my favorite Christmas the Halls.
There you go.
Speaker 6 (01:52):
I'd rather listen to Shrek sing Christmas music than some
of these country artists.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Wow, why.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
There is a guy coming twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Give me a favorite talk about how much you hate
preseason football.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I don't because he's going to have a heart attack
and die from all this blood rushing to thing pale. No,
this is my normal face. Yep, I thought the blood
was rushing somewhere. Let's see from Friday to Sunday. No,
I was at okay, I bet I was outside of
my house for a total of let's go two hours total,
(02:36):
got a lot done, though super productive. You were outside
for you left your house for two hours. Yeah, give
her a take. Yeah, well, good for you, man, you
know what, Yeah, good for you. So not that it
was sunny outside anyway. It's not like if I had
spent more time outside, I'd have an awesome TAN right now.
Not gonna happen either way in November necessarily. And when
(02:56):
the last time you had an awesome tan nineteen ninety eight,
probably when you're still out on the one wakeboarding like
ten hours a day.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
Well, here here's the here's the interesting thing about what
you just said. This last weekend was about the nicest
it's gonna be for the next three months. So what
you're telling me is that was your last and final
opportunity to actually spend any time outside.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
I was practice. It was practice for hibernation.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Because this like, I'm prepared this week, it's gonna get
cold at the end of this week.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Well, I was mourning Chuck Woolery died. Oh. I know.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
The funny thing is I thought about you. I'm like,
Corey's actually got to be really sad about this.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
And two uh not my favorite host. He uh, he
didn't understand about half the games he hosted, and that
always bothers me when the host struggles to understand the charming, charming, affable. Yeah,
love connection was elite, right, He was great on that,
but I didn't like him as the host of Lingo
because he never quite understood the rules, and that bothers.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Me when it comes to lingo. There is no rule.
You just do whatever you listen.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I think you're thinking lingo is a different thing. What's lingo?
It was a game back in the day on the
Game Show Network. Actually it's basically wordle before wordle was wordle.
Oh you're like, you spell your name and stuff. Kind
of yeah, you spell a word and then isn't it back?
I think like Rue Paul or somebody hosts it now.
Forget who hosts it now, no idea. I've never even
(04:24):
heard of you. Thinking of drag Race, Yeah, also a
good game. Chuck Willer should have hosted drag Race.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
That I'd watch. No, so I should really host that show.
That dude on ESPN.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
Come on, Dad, you need.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
And then talk.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
I know that you got sleep last night. At least
you had opportunity. We weren't back super late. I'm just
so burnt out.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
We can't even help it. I know, I know, yeah,
I know, I get it. I get it.
Speaker 8 (05:09):
I would pay a lot of real American dollars to
see Rex Ryan's drag, Right, Ryan, what would what would
his drag queen name be?
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Wouldn't it be rexy? Sexy?
Speaker 6 (05:29):
Rexy rexy Ryan? I guess it's kind of works, right, sure, yeah,
rexy Ryan.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
He change his less name.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
I don't know the gesture that you made, you said, Ryan, Ryan.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Putting it on full display? That was Ben. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I know that we were working on the history. But
have you seen the highlights of Saquon Barkley and believe
how great he is? I know, I just can't.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Live man, two hundred and fifty five yards, I.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Can't believe it. I mean, jumping over somebody and twisting
and my gosh, yeah, he's getting younger.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
I know, his footwork is is so amazing. And let's
not forget that a lot of these runs he's not
even touched. Yeah, no, right, I mean the offensive scheme
and the offensive line just murdered the Rams front defensive front.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Such a big game that we were talking about this
off there, Ben and I earlier off the Air that
he is now third for MVP race on DraftKings, Josh
Allen is your MVP favorite, then Lamar Jackson, and then
Saquon Barkley is third to win NFL MVP. Paul, your
hands up.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yesterday he had three hundred and two total yards and
two touchdowns. The Giants offense yesterday two hundred and forty
five yards and one touchdown.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Yeah, how about the Giants.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
It's so interesting to me that they're Malik Neighbors and
all these guys are all talking about how soft they
played and what. I'm like, you guys, that's on, that's
on you. You're the players.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Like it's almost like it's like an indictment on day
Ball and his staff. I'm like, no, no, no, you
guys aren't criticizing the game plan or the scheme or
the x's and o's. You guys are talking about your
individual effort. And it's not just Neighbors saying it's like
three other players were talking about how they weren't prepared
for this game or something, that they came out there
and they played soft. They used the word soft a
(07:30):
couple of times, Like I don't think you guys should
be saying that publicly because that.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Is all on you.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Well, then the locker room too is also going to
be like, what are you doing? Why would you possibly
say soft? That's like the worst thing you could possibly
say about professional NFL athletes.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
Yeah, and and for and it seems like, at least
the way I'm digesting it is that he's an offensive
player talking about how their defense got rolled up on
at times, and so like, are you kind of calling
out your defense right now?
Speaker 5 (08:03):
I'm a buckle head the gifts.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Please get that for me. That was so good. Let
me one of my favorite sound bites. A buckle head.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I don't look.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
Can you imagine the Vikings players after a game talking
about how soft they are? I'm like, you, guys, don't
say that publicly. You guys can talk about it. The
coaches can call you that when you're watching film, but
don't don't say that about yourselves. That's a horrible indictment
on yourself.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
That's almost as bad as a coach actually saying a
player's name right in the pressure.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Later, Yeah, zim, what are you doing? I don't know.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
And the thing is, the funny thing is like the
national media is all saying like, oh, yeah, Dave Ball's
gonna get fired. I'm like, I don't think this is
about the coaching staff at this point. Yeah, they might
get fired, but nobody is taking this the way that,
at least the way I was taking it. Players, players,
that's on you. Effort is on you. You can't rely
(09:11):
on the coaches or the course of the week.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Have you inspired enough? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (09:15):
Like, what do you need some sort of speech, Like
you need some sort of Pop Warner speech or some
some movie esque speech before the game to get you
all riled up?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Yeah? He didn't throw one water jug over.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
How the hell could I get out there and play
inspired football?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Can we take? Can I take you guys through the
divisions real quick? Yeah? Do that? Yeah? Cor and I
were just talking about.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
In the National Football Conference East, the Eagles are nine
and two, Commanders dropped to seven and five, Cowboys four
and seven, Giants two and nine. In the NFC North,
the Lions are ten and one. We're nine to two,
and the Packers are eight and three.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Holy balls, Yeah good division? Huh yeah, very good.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yeah, Bears are four and seven. Everybody thought it would
be the vikings of four and seven, right or worse?
Speaker 8 (10:08):
Yeah, yesterday I think the Bears looked like how we
all thought the Bears were going to look like all season,
Like they're finally starting to realize that vision a little
bit over the last couple of weeks looked good.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
NFC South, the Falcons play I'm sorry, I was thinking
about the Cardinals. My fault. In NFC South, A Falcons
are six and five, Buccaneers five and six. I thought
they were better than that. Saints four and seven, Panthers
three and eight.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Isn't it in keeping with that that division there?
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Yeah, I mean the ended it always kind of like
they don't have a winning record, but they're gonna be
You're going to have a home game in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Well and the thing yeah, and they might we like
we talked about yesterday on overtime and Nordal brought it
up on fan line. Is there the Vikings might be
like a fourteen win wild card y oh yeah, yeah,
to think about that, and they might play a five
hundred we can't you know what I mean, like even
(11:11):
like a eight and nine Falcons team.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Right in the NFC West, the Seahawks are six and five,
The Cardinals are six and five, the Rams are five
and six, and the forty nine Ers are five and six,
So that division is still up for grabs as well.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Over the AFC, the Bills are nine and two, the
Dolphins are five and six, the Jets are three and eight,
and the Patriots are three and nine.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Many.
Speaker 8 (11:34):
Yeah, it kind of seemed like that division was going
to be NFC North, like at the beginning of the
season with the Jets and Dolphins and Bills, and man,
that did not that's and the Dolphins only beat bad teams.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
AFC North, the Steelers are eight and three, the Ravens
are seven and four, and you get the Bengals of
four and seven, the Browns at three and eight.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
Well again, and that was to your point. I mean,
we didn't know what we're going to get out of
the Pittsburgh but they have C North. At the beginning
of the season, you know, with Joe Burrow and Lamar,
they're like, well, that's going to be another strong division,
and it kind of is. But boy, the Bengals, what
is happening there? Like so much production but not a
lot of wins.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
AFC South, the Texans are seven and five. Colts are
five and seven, Titans three and eight, Jaguars two and
nine the hockey.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Are you getting to the point that the Minnesota Vikings,
if you go just throughout the NFL, are more than
likely the third best team in the NFL?
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Whow boy?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Record wise?
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Right?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I mean possibly?
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Who knows? It's funny to say that. This is what
Ben and I were talking about. Let's let's involve the class.
It's a two part question, really, Saws. I want to
start with you because you like to gamble.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Fcus ten and one Chiefs charges seven three Broncos seven
to five Raiders.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
To a nine Saucy on November twenty fifth of twenty
twenty four. If you had to BET's whatever, a significant
amount of money is one thousand dollars the Lions to
win the Super Bowl or the field? What do you take?
It's a very good question, two part question. That's part one,
Lions of the field. I'd take the field. Okay, that's
(13:12):
what I assumed you were going to say, because that's
the right answer. But here's part two. How many teams
would you need to feel that that bet is fair? Like,
for example, if I gave you the Lions or the Bills,
and the Chiefs. Which side would you want? Would?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
I would want the Bills and the Eagles. You'd want
the Bills and want the Eagles. The Chiefs aren't that good.
I know, they're ten and one.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I get all that.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
They're just they they almost got beat by a rookie
quarterback who two weeks ago was about to be out
of the league. Second year second well yeah, sorry, second year,
but yeah, they the Chiefs are just okay.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
They just But anyway, I would rather have the Eagles
and the Bills. To answer your question, anybody else would
anybody else take the Lions over the field?
Speaker 8 (13:59):
Nah?
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Man, it's the NFL complete team. Though.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Man, that's the part that it's tough to only because
they're the Lions. That's the only reason that you actually
would like hesitate because quite frankly, if you've watched them
play and they're putting up huge numbers on everybody. I mean,
the only thing that would change that is if there
was like a major injury.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
And I'm talking about golf. That's why you take the field.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
But the other thing though with Detroit is if they
keep on this pace, they only have to win two
games to get there.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
They don't have to win three.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
The Eagles would have to win three to get there,
and I would the Bills might have to win three
to get there because I don't know if they're going
to be the number one seed with the way Kansas
City's record is, so Yeah, that's another thing to think about.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
This is a good bet what you would take the field? Obviously, definitely,
just because it's it's still the NFL. But I do
think the Lions are the favorites. I mean, I think
they're going to be very tough to be but I
know you just kind of crapped on them. But the
Chiefs have won the last two Super Bowls and they
have Patrick Mahomes, and once it comes to playoff time,
I don't care if you're a mediocre team. It is
(15:04):
just so hard to bet against that specific dude. Yeah,
So I don't know if it's if it's Lions and Chiefs. Sure,
I think the Lions are a better team, but they
don't have Patrick Mahomes And I know that's an easy out,
but it's been the right choice the last two years.
And so far they're ten and one, and they feel
underwhelming and they're ten and one.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
They can beat you with the lead, and then they
can also beat you with they got a hind.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
They also, though, have a tough way to They have
a tough schedule the rest of the way except for
the Raiders lay up they get on Black Friday. But
they play the Chargers that offense, and they have found
something in Harvard.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
I was gonna say they're a team definitely on the rise.
The Browns, Yeah, that's in Cleveland. Whatever Texans can keep
up with them on offense. That Texans defense is pretty bad.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
But then at the Steelers, and that at the Broncos,
and Butttle Eyes has found himself a little quarterback there.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
The playoff, Mahomes is different than any else, regardless of
their record. Once I get to the playoffs, it's it's
tough to bet against it, Ben, What about you? How
many teams to make this bet? Fair? Lions versus who?
Or who specifically? Would you need not even the number?
What do you want? I mean?
Speaker 5 (16:15):
I would probably go Bills Eagles.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Is that enough? Or would you need more than just
build Eagles? Would maybe take one?
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Yeah, I think that's I think that's fair.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Bill's Eagles versus Lions. In terms of those two versus one,
it's pretty close. Yeah, I think that's fair. You didn't.
I don't want to say I'm not a betting man.
Is that the bit? Oh? I don't want your monster
of a wife to find out that you're gambling. Well,
you were hypothetically saying, how many would you want? I'm
going lions?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
You would take the Lions. I'll take the field. Do
you want to beat?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Since nineteen thirty four, they haven't had a record like this.
I'll take the field. It's it's a complete team.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I honestly truly believe in them.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Where do you want to go? It's up to you.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
You're the one who doesn't bet hundred bucks. Sure, I'll
take the field.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
I don't want to go to a thousand dollars. She
does listen, So yeah, let's do it. You're gonna get texted, Moss.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
I just paid you too, from our college football bets.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
That's fun. What was the bet?
Speaker 6 (17:28):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Yeah, the Ohio State bit? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (17:30):
Yeah, yeah, I took Indiana with the points.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Yeah they got this.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
They're still gonna make the playoff though, because of Bama
losing who else what other team lost?
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Well Miss and Ole Miss Yeah, so yeah Indiana. But
Ohio State's a machine. Yeah, they looked pretty good. Eight
o'clock hour continues. We'll do headlines in a second. More
the Power Jib, Morning Joe with Ben Leeber and Michael J. Mussman.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Nothing Welcome back, Patrick Morris. The final segment. Here we are,
(18:20):
Hi boy, I hope you can't hear that. You can't

Yeah right, you're right, Zach on Friday, So Zach alperson,
thanks thanks for stopping by.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
That was awesome. You guys get a hell of a
crowd up there. Man, that's awesome. Yeah. That was park anywhere?
Speaker 5 (19:01):
No, I had to park across the street at the
gas station.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Where was this?
Speaker 5 (19:05):
This was at the Blue hairn and hugo.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
I got a text message from one of our producers, Ashley,
she was the on site producer, and she's like, hey,
I've got I've got three parking spots for you know,
you and Elizabeth and you know or twin Cy's live truck. Well,
I pull up and some guy took my spot. Oh yeah,
so then it was fine.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
It was fine. They didn't have the horn sticker in
the back window. Yeah it was.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
It wasn't Zacho, it would have been. It was totally fine.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
I had no I had no problem walking in or
finding a spot across the street.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Right.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
It's the fact that the guy knew it. It came
up later on he was like, hey, I think I
took your spot.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
I'm like, that's no, it's fine, You're totally fine. It's like,
did are you okay with that? I'm like, well it
was it was yeah. I think there was a cone
there And elizabeths like yeah no, She's like I pulled
up and I watched him just take that spot, and
he just did. He like apologized but didn't really seem
to care.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Right, Oh he was there to a party. It's you go. Yeah,
it was a great Krin Zachary was there and made
a minute and a half cameo on TV. Yeah, way cool.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Did you uh?
Speaker 6 (20:17):
I guess I lost track of Did you stick around
for a while or did you get a little.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Bit, But yeah, there wasn't really a place. It was
so full that eventually we were just like, it's probably
best if we just kind of let other people have
the room in there.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Yeah, because there was a it was packed to the gills,
but it was packed. There's lots of rooms in there.
It's a big space.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
So thanks for stopping by.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
It the show.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
But I believe my email is down.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
Wow, that's great.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Check your card.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
I would love that if my email went down. Yeah,
it's like my least favorite way of corresponding with people.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Really.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Mine's talking.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Interesting how how we travel together.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Yeah, but outside of the game itself, we maybe say
about ten words to each other.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Ay, right, it's the weirdest. It's the weirdest because I
really like you.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
I like you too.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
I know, I know that.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I get it.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
Like you get on the bus and you're watching whatever
you're watching on your phone. Heete's doing the same thing.
I do the same thing. After I sit down next
to you guys and we say hi, yeah, you do
the one photo on the plane and then that's yeah,
and that's about it.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
I think this is the concept that Tommy Jolson really
needs to wrap his head around that. All of us
see each other all week long. So when he's like, hey,
it's Christmas time, let's let's go to mall of America
and then let's spend nine hours together, none of us
want to do that. No, not one of us except
for him. It sounds like a good idea. That's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
I'm saying the exact same thing.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
It sounds like a great idea, and you're like, yeah,
that would be awesome, and then you get closer to
You're like, I'm.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Okay, all right, what a cool idea?
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
That map is money because it takes all the guest
work out of everything. You're like, Okay, we've got an hour,
and we want to stay in our little area, in
our little bubble. Wherever community you're in, you know exactly
where all the holiday lights are to be seen.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
What about this is well done? Bud Daniel, Minnesota. Minnesota
Holiday Lights Guide is powered by Sam's Christmas Village and
Light Tour in Somerset, which I've heard great things about.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yes, isn't that work? Tommy went to get his tree.
I think you were gone hawk on Thursday. Yeah, I
think that was Tommy was talking. Tommy talking about something
about Christmas.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Yeah, he was like one time with he and and
sas and then another day his family.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I think to Sam's Christmas Village. I'm so glad that
we actually are not doing the real tree anymore.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
What problem a huge fake tree?
Speaker 3 (23:37):
It's glorious. What wrong with fa?
Speaker 6 (23:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (23:43):
No, The thing is is that it all stemmed.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
From when the kids were little and then we'd have
to go walk around the farm and then walk Christy
would have to pick a tree, which was never the
first tree we saw.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
You go to a.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Smaller farm and then and then I'm sitting down there
just ass crack up sawing with the us you saw
ever that they gave you at the very beginning of
the at the gate there. And then you pick the tree,
and it's it's always an argument, and then she'll go, well,
I don't really like this tree, and I found out
you can actually return a tree.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
They just want to let you drink with it.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
But it's like it's like going to an apple farm
or a bucket patch. It is the people that do
this for a living. They've picked the good ones. And
the tree is already cut, it's sitting in the barn.
Just grab that and go.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
Do that.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Then No, no, no, no, a real Christmas tree is Christmas.
Get a real Christmas tree. No, don't buy a fake.
We've been doing it forever. Who cares.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
There's no there's no like pageant tree to like putting
up a fake tree.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Buy one from bed. He'll pay for it.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Every Friday we go to the barns and we go
to the tree farms, and it's just like, yeah, I'm
kind of just dumb.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Hey, musk, Yes, do you live in a studio apartment?
Speaker 3 (24:59):
No? Do not?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Then put up multiple Christmas trees in there.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
We have, actually we do two trees.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
See, well, quit bragging.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
We got the kids tree, which we still have because
the kids haven't quite moved out yet, right, so it's
all their stuff that you know, they made back when
there in school. And you're like, I'm not putting that
up on the varsity tree. That's JV downstairs.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Oh yeah, that's true.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
That's true, so Max, Isn't it so true?
Speaker 8 (25:23):
Though?
Speaker 6 (25:24):
Even when it gets the real tree gets a little
older and it starts to droop, there's an appreciation to
the sag.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Rightly, there really is beauty in the side. I'm not
against the naturals. It sounds like you are. Sounds like.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
You want manufactured, you want fake.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
I'm okay with it. Got you in their pocket.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Don't live like big naturals or small naturals like big
natural I knew it, I got it on the button bar.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Please.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Hey, by the way, check this out.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Core.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I don't know how in the hell you do this.
And I can't wait to find out the story behind this.
This fascinating.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
You're gonna love this.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Macy'son out some Monday that a single employee was responsible
for so many accounting irregularities that the company was forced
to delay its quarterly earnings report. The company recently discovered
that the unnamed employee intentionally hid one hundred and fifty
four million dollars.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
What my god, how how could you find that much?
I don't know, keeper or like an accountant.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
It's they haven't said who or why the employee did
the expend hit the expense.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
It almost has to be It can't be a cashier, right,
or even a store manager. There's got to be somebody
that that can cook the books.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
One hundred and fifty four million dollars so much that
they couldn't release their earnings report.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
Fractions of pennies, guys, it's no big deals to question
that one.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Would that be considered a heist? Pretty ingenious, it is.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
Well, we don't know where the money's at.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Well, do you have the rest of the stories? Echo,
I'm sorry, ahead, Well.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
It says that the first responsible is in a store
associate women's shoes.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Sauce. You get that joke. Is that? Were you listening? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
That's come on, buddy, married with children reference? Didn't you
work in a shoe store?
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Al Bundy? Isn't that an Al Bundy reference? M could
be you were kind of listening.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
I was listening. There was I'm reading the story right here.
Macy's lost one hundred and fifty four million dollars somebody
in women's shoes.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
I don't what did I miss? What's the bin? Is
it a movie reference? I don't know. No, I don't
get it. What's the bin? Let's do?
Speaker 8 (27:43):
Now?
Speaker 3 (27:43):
You're making this? Yeah, they're very chapped.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Hey, I can ask you one more question before headlines.
A gentleman, I almost a.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Gentleman love.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
You need to go home, my gentleman lover?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
No gentlemen, gentleman lovers.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Gentleman caller is probably the phrase that was in your brain,
but you slipped and said lover today.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Anyway, A gentleman email her the same thing, same thing, name.
Adam says. The one thing nobody's mentioned about Daniel Jones
coming here is that if you signed a big deal
with somebody else after we signed him, we get a
third round draft picking compensation.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Is that true? I don't know how. Yeah, I think
it's something like that. Yeah, then I get it, because
who's going to sign him to a huge deal? Yeah,
I don't. I don't get that part of it because
he's not going to get a big deal. And if
that was the case, then why wouldn't every single team
want him just to sit on the bench to get
a third round pick. There's got to be some kind
(28:45):
of a loophole there. I have no idea what the
answer is. He's going to get a prove it deal
like Sam did if that, but there's there's no money
left this year, right, You're going to get a minimum
deal somewhere. Yeah, anyway, all right, head lines boom, Now
it's time for Thanks to Wolf River Electric and Wolf

what I was watching on the plane. It's Kim Burns.
It's his latest documentary, and it's it's I thought, well,
I'll give it a shot. What do I care? It's
so fascinating the way he he understood how people's eyes worked,
like three hundred years before anybody else did. It's incredible. Man,
this guy was a martian, This guy was an alien
(30:36):
amongst us. You got to watch this documentary.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
I wonder, I wonder if it's an audio version. Do
you think I could do you have you have to
visually watch it? I think you want to see it.
You want to see the things he drew, because that's
the thing. He could draw things. He was drawing things
in ways nobody had ever ever drawn anything before. And
and the fact that he was a bastard son meant
that he didn't have to follow in his father's foot, prince,
(30:59):
so he he could learn what he wanted to learn,
and that was about nature. And Dude, I am flabberguested
by how fascinating this documentary.
Speaker 5 (31:07):
You know who else like to do drawings?
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Who's that? Simon?
Speaker 5 (31:11):
He like drawings?
Speaker 3 (31:15):
You guys. Boom, a restaurant owner in Maryland, confronted two
guys for peen in front of his store and then
the two guys beat him up. Boom should mind his business? Yeah,
they were both just peen and the guys like, hey,
don't don't be in my store please. The road again
said did they beat him up while they were peating?
(31:38):
Guess they probably up first.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
And if you beat him up with one hand, he's.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
All man, that's right. The Canadian government is auctioning off
a rare Pokemon card that it owns for some reason.
It could fetch thousands at auction. How do we feel
about governments running their own ebays? Basically? Cool? Man? I
wonder how they got it?
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Good question, it was seized one of those things like
maybe maybe like a.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Like like yeah, like a cool car. Oh, by the way,
you bought it on their car? No, no, no, not yet.
I will what's his name?
Speaker 3 (32:14):

The quarterback we just played.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
This today, Williams a Bentley Suv.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
I've never seen anything like it. It's it's the coolest
car I've ever seen. I didn't know they made SUVs. Corey,
you got to see what this car looked like. Look
it up, a Bentley Suv. Craziest thing ever is it?
Speaker 3 (32:34):
The Oh this looks sweet? Yeah? Man, that's right here.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Oh no that's not that's not it. Sorry, I didn't
know that Bentley made subs. I know, I just derailed
the shoom. My apologies, but I love cars. I thought
they just did Christmas lights Bentleyville. You see what he
did then?
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Clever a cemetery in England is going to start charging
people to visit their loved one's graves. They'll still be
able to go for free between nine am and three
pm on weekdays, but if they want to go the
rest of the time, they have to pay around six
dollars for a VIP pass. Is that a bouncer at
the gate?
Speaker 8 (33:11):
Right?
Speaker 3 (33:11):
What?
Speaker 5 (33:12):
What?
Speaker 3 (33:12):
What is this Valley Fair, England cemetery in England? What?
Speaker 2 (33:19):
It doesn't surprise me because that cemetery people are dying
to get in there.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Yeah, anybody, thank you? That's good. That's a good dad joke.
One in four Americans say they have asked artificial intelligence
to help them make a decision about something in their lives. Nope, No,
does Google count is?
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (33:40):
Doesn't It kind of technically have your own right? Hi? What, Sauce,
You know, I don't like to push you in a
bad spot. It's not something I ever want to do.
I'll gladly go in that bad spot. That's what you
That's a weird sentence. There's a poll from a couple
of years ago, for whatever reasons, making the rounds. It
(34:01):
shows how clueless most Americans are. Oh boy asked Americans
about different demographics and wanted to see how they view
viewed the world and how wrong it is. Let's see
if you're smarter than the average person, Sauce, I do
approximately just get close if we just need your best guess,
(34:23):
and then the other number is going to blow I
think all of our minds and really dishearten us in
terms of the education system here in Minnesota. In the
United States, sa US approximately what percentage of Americans live
in New York City? Percentage of Americans that live in
(34:47):
New York City? Well, yeah, give us your give us
your logic out loud, and then we'll break it down,
and then I'm going to depress everyone.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
I mean, I would guess that, like, what are there
like six I mean, how many people live in the
United States? Start with that. Sure, I would guess it's
ten percent.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Well, how many people live in the United States? Wasn't
it like six point five billion in the whole world?
Is that true? Keep going, so you'd say it's like
eight billion, by the way, but it doesn't. That doesn't
change it. So I'd say five percent, five percent, five?
(35:42):
Anybody else have a guess? That was the same number.
I was gonna go with the five.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
I was gonna say three. I was gonna say three.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
Zach and Hawker exactly correct.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
It's three percent, eight hundred million Americans and no thirty
and forty ishes somewhere on that range.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
How about this, though, the average person thinks it's about
thirty percent. Thirty wow, which I think of how many
things have to be wrong for you to guess thirty percent.
That means you have almost no idea how many people
live in the United States? Almost know how many no
idea how many people live in New York City? Or
are just unbelievably bad at math?
Speaker 5 (36:20):
Right?
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Right? Not per ago in la and all that? Like? Right,
if you think a third of the people that live
in this country live in New York City, I just
have a lot of questions. Isn't that crazy? Average person
thinks it's thirty per That was ever true that thirty
percent lived in New York City? Yeah, when they were
still the colonies. I doubt it even even way back then,
(36:41):
I doubt it was ever thirty No, probably closer to
thirty maybe on that. On that note, By the way,
I saw a stat today in the prep. Shockingly enough,
there was talking about Saint Louis that Saint Louis's population
basically is the largest population decrease of a major city
I think in you s history. Wow, something like almost
(37:02):
a million people down to three hundred thousand in the
last sixty years, like the actual city of Saint Louis.
I'm sure the suburbs obviously have much more than that,
but the actual city no one lives there anymore, doesn't
surprise me. Wasn't crime a big, pretty big thing in
Saint Louis? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Yes, East Saint Louis was.
Speaker 8 (37:21):
Well, Chicago, yeah, right now, it's the second. I think
it's the second highest crime rate in the United States.
All right, here's another one for you.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
According to a recent poll, what does the average American
consider to be successful in terms of amount of money
that an individual makes in a year? Not a family,
not a household. It's not what I'm a megan, so,
but think about this. This is the This is the
subjective part of it, and this is why the number
might be hard to guess. It's not like what is
(37:56):
you know, sustainable or solid or what the average is.
It's what the average American classifies as quote that person
is successful. If you are successful, how much money a year?
I'm going to see you.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
That's a great I was gonna say one fifty is
probably better, though.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
I'm going to go with a quarter of a million.
Speaker 9 (38:17):
One Some of them oh zacho, Yeah, Well, played.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
I just love how confident you were with him. Well,
I'm going to.
Speaker 6 (38:31):
Go with.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
Americans thirty five, Max, you guess no, No, I forgot
to question outter.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
If Sausage said that, what was the question?
Speaker 3 (38:51):
A good Here's here's the deal with Zachary, though, I
was so convinced he was just doing the bit from
the what percentage of America live in New York City
When he said one twenty five, I just assumed he
was doing that to be funny. That's why I didn't
hammer him like I would hammer Sauce. I'm like, Zach's
probably just being clever, were you? But because it's white
bear math, I guess it's like fifty to fifty. No,
(39:13):
or exactly, say sixty five to fifty five. By the way,
the right answer two hundred and seventy thousand dollars is
what the average American thinks is, quote, you are a
successful person. If you're at two seventy that's around four
times what the average American makes. More than four times.
It really crazy, huh. Anyway, By the way, the average
(39:41):
boomer said one hundred thousand dollars a year. So basically,
the younger you are, the higher the number you classify
as successful, which makes sense, which means you're also going
to be changing jobs over and over. Maybe, for example,
the average gen Zer said five hundred and eighty eight
thousand is successful.
Speaker 8 (40:00):
Yup. I feel like the Internet has completely skewed people's
minds into what is no doubt.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
If you don't have a private jet in the mansion,
you just haven't made it right. Even if you are
doing very well.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
The Internet is convinced us that everybody's happy every day.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
That is right, very well, said hug All right, here's
something that I didn't know until this morning. And if
somebody has been listening to this show for almost twenty
three years and said, you guys have talked about that
six times, I apologize it is completely gone from my brain.
So this is something I learned today. What is it
called again, When something like Kleenex or tvo just yeah,
(40:37):
but when it like takes over the like Q tip, right,
that's a brand, yeah, but Kleenex aspirin exactly, But it
takes over so much that it's not even a brand
name anymore. That's just the name of it, that is
the product, yam. I didn't know this until this morning.
I think that is the same thing for trampoline. Really,
(40:58):
the generic term was re bound Tumblr, but then the
brand name trampoline got so popular that now there everybody
just calls them trampolines. Everybody just wanted to say, I
did not know that trampoline was a brand name at
one point.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
Rebound Tumblr, Max, you had a rebound Tumblr last week, and.
Speaker 8 (41:16):
Oh yeah, he's got to go crash the boards.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
By the way, In case you guys are wondering, my god,
if you've been sitting around wondering, there are multiple ladies
in America named jen Z.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
I was wondering that.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Yeah, no z e E R jen Z. There's a
doctor in Utah, another doctor in Utah that's the same lady.
Speaker 3 (41:47):
Now have you guys seen those videos of The one
that makes me laugh is somebody put together LinkedIn profiles
that match smells like teen Spirit lyrics. It's like Pearl Jam.
It's so good, so good. Somebody with every song, you know,
so the chorus that smells like teen Spirit famously is
kind of hard to tell what he's saying until you
(42:08):
know that it's clear as day. So somebody put together
a super cut of like names from LinkedIn that kind
of look like what Kurt Cobain is singing. It's so
genius because none of the names are normal names. It's
pretty good, it's worth it, brilliant, it's really super funny.
Last one, this one's epic. A car dealer in New
Zealand refused to give a couple their fifteen thousand dollars refund.
(42:34):
Not only did he not do that, he sent them
pictures of poop instead. Open one hand. This is the
app Where's my refund? Which one versus cemi a curler
of a dumb They wanted a refund, they got That
(42:55):
guy got twice Christmas present or his Christmas card? Yeah,
all of it. I wonder if he thought of it
through first or he just had it in his uh,
you know, on his phone probably yeah, under his his uh.
One of those things called sauce where you get like
those secret photos, like the saved photos. Oh what album
is that? Is there? Like, isn't there like a h album? Yeah? Hidden?
(43:18):
Thank you. It's just called hidden photos. And you have to
have like FaceTime to even get in there, and you gotta
have facial recognition. Just get in.
Speaker 1 (43:25):
I can do what used to be a calculator w
app yeah, I've heard that Sauce told us about that,
not that you had it.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
But anyway, Michael J. Musman the third, You're an American treasure.
Love you guys. I think you walked right into a
sucker bet with Sauce, but uh whatever, it's your money.

To be a really dynamic like great, like great.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Maybe never you never watched that fantastic watch it like
Swept the for crying out, really good one that is
not of a good movie.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
No, not Chicago. Never seen The Greatest Showman? Nope, not
for me. You ores it just Shrek was awesome. I've
seen every Shrek Shreks gret I think, I think, I mean,
if they would make more Shreks, they'd have more of
my money.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Shrek the Halls maybe one of my favorite Christmas the Halls.
There you go.
Speaker 6 (01:52):
I'd rather listen to Shrek sing Christmas music than some
of these country artists.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Wow, why.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
There is a guy coming twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Give me a favorite talk about how much you hate
preseason football.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I don't because he's going to have a heart attack
and die from all this blood rushing to thing pale. No,
this is my normal face. Yep, I thought the blood
was rushing somewhere. Let's see from Friday to Sunday. No,
I was at okay, I bet I was outside of
my house for a total of let's go two hours total,
(02:36):
got a lot done, though super productive. You were outside
for you left your house for two hours. Yeah, give
her a take. Yeah, well, good for you, man, you
know what, Yeah, good for you. So not that it
was sunny outside anyway. It's not like if I had
spent more time outside, I'd have an awesome TAN right now.
Not gonna happen either way in November necessarily. And when
(02:56):
the last time you had an awesome tan nineteen ninety eight,
probably when you're still out on the one wakeboarding like
ten hours a day.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
Well, here here's the here's the interesting thing about what
you just said. This last weekend was about the nicest
it's gonna be for the next three months. So what
you're telling me is that was your last and final
opportunity to actually spend any time outside.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
I was practice. It was practice for hibernation.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Because this like, I'm prepared this week, it's gonna get
cold at the end of this week.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Well, I was mourning Chuck Woolery died. Oh. I know.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
The funny thing is I thought about you. I'm like,
Corey's actually got to be really sad about this.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
And two uh not my favorite host. He uh, he
didn't understand about half the games he hosted, and that
always bothers me when the host struggles to understand the charming, charming, affable. Yeah,
love connection was elite, right, He was great on that,
but I didn't like him as the host of Lingo
because he never quite understood the rules, and that bothers.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Me when it comes to lingo. There is no rule.
You just do whatever you listen.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I think you're thinking lingo is a different thing. What's lingo?
It was a game back in the day on the
Game Show Network. Actually it's basically wordle before wordle was wordle.
Oh you're like, you spell your name and stuff. Kind
of yeah, you spell a word and then isn't it back?
I think like Rue Paul or somebody hosts it now.
Forget who hosts it now, no idea. I've never even
(04:24):
heard of you. Thinking of drag Race, Yeah, also a
good game. Chuck Willer should have hosted drag Race.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
That I'd watch. No, so I should really host that show.
That dude on ESPN.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
Come on, Dad, you need.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
And then talk.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
I know that you got sleep last night. At least
you had opportunity. We weren't back super late. I'm just
so burnt out.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
We can't even help it. I know, I know, yeah,
I know, I get it. I get it.
Speaker 8 (05:09):
I would pay a lot of real American dollars to
see Rex Ryan's drag, Right, Ryan, what would what would
his drag queen name be?
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Wouldn't it be rexy? Sexy?
Speaker 6 (05:29):
Rexy rexy Ryan? I guess it's kind of works, right, sure, yeah,
rexy Ryan.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
He change his less name.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
I don't know the gesture that you made, you said, Ryan, Ryan.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Putting it on full display? That was Ben. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I know that we were working on the history. But
have you seen the highlights of Saquon Barkley and believe
how great he is? I know, I just can't.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Live man, two hundred and fifty five yards, I.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Can't believe it. I mean, jumping over somebody and twisting
and my gosh, yeah, he's getting younger.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
I know, his footwork is is so amazing. And let's
not forget that a lot of these runs he's not
even touched. Yeah, no, right, I mean the offensive scheme
and the offensive line just murdered the Rams front defensive front.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Such a big game that we were talking about this
off there, Ben and I earlier off the Air that
he is now third for MVP race on DraftKings, Josh
Allen is your MVP favorite, then Lamar Jackson, and then
Saquon Barkley is third to win NFL MVP. Paul, your
hands up.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yesterday he had three hundred and two total yards and
two touchdowns. The Giants offense yesterday two hundred and forty
five yards and one touchdown.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Yeah, how about the Giants.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
It's so interesting to me that they're Malik Neighbors and
all these guys are all talking about how soft they
played and what. I'm like, you guys, that's on, that's
on you. You're the players.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Like it's almost like it's like an indictment on day
Ball and his staff. I'm like, no, no, no, you
guys aren't criticizing the game plan or the scheme or
the x's and o's. You guys are talking about your
individual effort. And it's not just Neighbors saying it's like
three other players were talking about how they weren't prepared
for this game or something, that they came out there
and they played soft. They used the word soft a
(07:30):
couple of times, Like I don't think you guys should
be saying that publicly because that.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Is all on you.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Well, then the locker room too is also going to
be like, what are you doing? Why would you possibly
say soft? That's like the worst thing you could possibly
say about professional NFL athletes.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
Yeah, and and for and it seems like, at least
the way I'm digesting it is that he's an offensive
player talking about how their defense got rolled up on
at times, and so like, are you kind of calling
out your defense right now?
Speaker 5 (08:03):
I'm a buckle head the gifts.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Please get that for me. That was so good. Let
me one of my favorite sound bites. A buckle head.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I don't look.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
Can you imagine the Vikings players after a game talking
about how soft they are? I'm like, you, guys, don't
say that publicly. You guys can talk about it. The
coaches can call you that when you're watching film, but
don't don't say that about yourselves. That's a horrible indictment
on yourself.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
That's almost as bad as a coach actually saying a
player's name right in the pressure.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Later, Yeah, zim, what are you doing? I don't know.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
And the thing is, the funny thing is like the
national media is all saying like, oh, yeah, Dave Ball's
gonna get fired. I'm like, I don't think this is
about the coaching staff at this point. Yeah, they might
get fired, but nobody is taking this the way that,
at least the way I was taking it. Players, players,
that's on you. Effort is on you. You can't rely
(09:11):
on the coaches or the course of the week.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Have you inspired enough? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (09:15):
Like, what do you need some sort of speech, Like
you need some sort of Pop Warner speech or some
some movie esque speech before the game to get you
all riled up?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Yeah? He didn't throw one water jug over.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
How the hell could I get out there and play
inspired football?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Can we take? Can I take you guys through the
divisions real quick? Yeah? Do that? Yeah? Cor and I
were just talking about.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
In the National Football Conference East, the Eagles are nine
and two, Commanders dropped to seven and five, Cowboys four
and seven, Giants two and nine. In the NFC North,
the Lions are ten and one. We're nine to two,
and the Packers are eight and three.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Holy balls, Yeah good division? Huh yeah, very good.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yeah, Bears are four and seven. Everybody thought it would
be the vikings of four and seven, right or worse?
Speaker 8 (10:08):
Yeah, yesterday I think the Bears looked like how we
all thought the Bears were going to look like all season,
Like they're finally starting to realize that vision a little
bit over the last couple of weeks looked good.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
NFC South, the Falcons play I'm sorry, I was thinking
about the Cardinals. My fault. In NFC South, A Falcons
are six and five, Buccaneers five and six. I thought
they were better than that. Saints four and seven, Panthers
three and eight.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Isn't it in keeping with that that division there?
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Yeah, I mean the ended it always kind of like
they don't have a winning record, but they're gonna be
You're going to have a home game in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Well and the thing yeah, and they might we like
we talked about yesterday on overtime and Nordal brought it
up on fan line. Is there the Vikings might be
like a fourteen win wild card y oh yeah, yeah,
to think about that, and they might play a five
hundred we can't you know what I mean, like even
(11:11):
like a eight and nine Falcons team.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Right in the NFC West, the Seahawks are six and five,
The Cardinals are six and five, the Rams are five
and six, and the forty nine Ers are five and six,
So that division is still up for grabs as well.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Over the AFC, the Bills are nine and two, the
Dolphins are five and six, the Jets are three and eight,
and the Patriots are three and nine.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Many.
Speaker 8 (11:34):
Yeah, it kind of seemed like that division was going
to be NFC North, like at the beginning of the
season with the Jets and Dolphins and Bills, and man,
that did not that's and the Dolphins only beat bad teams.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
AFC North, the Steelers are eight and three, the Ravens
are seven and four, and you get the Bengals of
four and seven, the Browns at three and eight.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
Well again, and that was to your point. I mean,
we didn't know what we're going to get out of
the Pittsburgh but they have C North. At the beginning
of the season, you know, with Joe Burrow and Lamar,
they're like, well, that's going to be another strong division,
and it kind of is. But boy, the Bengals, what
is happening there? Like so much production but not a
lot of wins.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
AFC South, the Texans are seven and five. Colts are
five and seven, Titans three and eight, Jaguars two and
nine the hockey.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Are you getting to the point that the Minnesota Vikings,
if you go just throughout the NFL, are more than
likely the third best team in the NFL?
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Whow boy?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Record wise?
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Right?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I mean possibly?
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Who knows? It's funny to say that. This is what
Ben and I were talking about. Let's let's involve the class.
It's a two part question, really, Saws. I want to
start with you because you like to gamble.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Fcus ten and one Chiefs charges seven three Broncos seven
to five Raiders.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
To a nine Saucy on November twenty fifth of twenty
twenty four. If you had to BET's whatever, a significant
amount of money is one thousand dollars the Lions to
win the Super Bowl or the field? What do you take?
It's a very good question, two part question. That's part one,
Lions of the field. I'd take the field. Okay, that's
(13:12):
what I assumed you were going to say, because that's
the right answer. But here's part two. How many teams
would you need to feel that that bet is fair? Like,
for example, if I gave you the Lions or the Bills,
and the Chiefs. Which side would you want? Would?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
I would want the Bills and the Eagles. You'd want
the Bills and want the Eagles. The Chiefs aren't that good.
I know, they're ten and one.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I get all that.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
They're just they they almost got beat by a rookie
quarterback who two weeks ago was about to be out
of the league. Second year second well yeah, sorry, second year,
but yeah, they the Chiefs are just okay.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
They just But anyway, I would rather have the Eagles
and the Bills. To answer your question, anybody else would
anybody else take the Lions over the field?
Speaker 8 (13:59):
Nah?
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Man, it's the NFL complete team. Though.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Man, that's the part that it's tough to only because
they're the Lions. That's the only reason that you actually
would like hesitate because quite frankly, if you've watched them
play and they're putting up huge numbers on everybody. I mean,
the only thing that would change that is if there
was like a major injury.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
And I'm talking about golf. That's why you take the field.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
But the other thing though with Detroit is if they
keep on this pace, they only have to win two
games to get there.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
They don't have to win three.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
The Eagles would have to win three to get there,
and I would the Bills might have to win three
to get there because I don't know if they're going
to be the number one seed with the way Kansas
City's record is, so Yeah, that's another thing to think about.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
This is a good bet what you would take the field? Obviously, definitely,
just because it's it's still the NFL. But I do
think the Lions are the favorites. I mean, I think
they're going to be very tough to be but I
know you just kind of crapped on them. But the
Chiefs have won the last two Super Bowls and they
have Patrick Mahomes, and once it comes to playoff time,
I don't care if you're a mediocre team. It is
(15:04):
just so hard to bet against that specific dude. Yeah,
So I don't know if it's if it's Lions and Chiefs. Sure,
I think the Lions are a better team, but they
don't have Patrick Mahomes And I know that's an easy out,
but it's been the right choice the last two years.
And so far they're ten and one, and they feel
underwhelming and they're ten and one.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
They can beat you with the lead, and then they
can also beat you with they got a hind.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
They also, though, have a tough way to They have
a tough schedule the rest of the way except for
the Raiders lay up they get on Black Friday. But
they play the Chargers that offense, and they have found
something in Harvard.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
I was gonna say they're a team definitely on the rise.
The Browns, Yeah, that's in Cleveland. Whatever Texans can keep
up with them on offense. That Texans defense is pretty bad.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
But then at the Steelers, and that at the Broncos,
and Butttle Eyes has found himself a little quarterback there.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
The playoff, Mahomes is different than any else, regardless of
their record. Once I get to the playoffs, it's it's
tough to bet against it, Ben, What about you? How
many teams to make this bet? Fair? Lions versus who?
Or who specifically? Would you need not even the number?
What do you want? I mean?
Speaker 5 (16:15):
I would probably go Bills Eagles.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Is that enough? Or would you need more than just
build Eagles? Would maybe take one?
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Yeah, I think that's I think that's fair.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Bill's Eagles versus Lions. In terms of those two versus one,
it's pretty close. Yeah, I think that's fair. You didn't.
I don't want to say I'm not a betting man.
Is that the bit? Oh? I don't want your monster
of a wife to find out that you're gambling. Well,
you were hypothetically saying, how many would you want? I'm
going lions?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
You would take the Lions. I'll take the field. Do
you want to beat?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Since nineteen thirty four, they haven't had a record like this.
I'll take the field. It's it's a complete team.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I honestly truly believe in them.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Where do you want to go? It's up to you.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
You're the one who doesn't bet hundred bucks. Sure, I'll
take the field.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
I don't want to go to a thousand dollars. She
does listen, So yeah, let's do it. You're gonna get texted, Moss.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
I just paid you too, from our college football bets.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
That's fun. What was the bet?
Speaker 6 (17:28):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Yeah, the Ohio State bit? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (17:30):
Yeah, yeah, I took Indiana with the points.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Yeah they got this.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
They're still gonna make the playoff though, because of Bama
losing who else what other team lost?
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Well Miss and Ole Miss Yeah, so yeah Indiana. But
Ohio State's a machine. Yeah, they looked pretty good. Eight
o'clock hour continues. We'll do headlines in a second. More
the Power Jib, Morning Joe with Ben Leeber and Michael J. Mussman.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Nothing Welcome back, Patrick Morris. The final segment. Here we are,
(18:20):
Hi boy, I hope you can't hear that. You can't

Yeah right, you're right, Zach on Friday, So Zach alperson,
thanks thanks for stopping by.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
That was awesome. You guys get a hell of a
crowd up there. Man, that's awesome. Yeah. That was park anywhere?
Speaker 5 (19:01):
No, I had to park across the street at the
gas station.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Where was this?
Speaker 5 (19:05):
This was at the Blue hairn and hugo.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
I got a text message from one of our producers, Ashley,
she was the on site producer, and she's like, hey,
I've got I've got three parking spots for you know,
you and Elizabeth and you know or twin Cy's live truck. Well,
I pull up and some guy took my spot. Oh yeah,
so then it was fine.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
It was fine. They didn't have the horn sticker in
the back window. Yeah it was.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
It wasn't Zacho, it would have been. It was totally fine.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
I had no I had no problem walking in or
finding a spot across the street.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Right.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
It's the fact that the guy knew it. It came
up later on he was like, hey, I think I
took your spot.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
I'm like, that's no, it's fine, You're totally fine. It's like,
did are you okay with that? I'm like, well it
was it was yeah. I think there was a cone
there And elizabeths like yeah no, She's like I pulled
up and I watched him just take that spot, and
he just did. He like apologized but didn't really seem
to care.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Right, Oh he was there to a party. It's you go. Yeah,
it was a great Krin Zachary was there and made
a minute and a half cameo on TV. Yeah, way cool.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Did you uh?
Speaker 6 (20:17):
I guess I lost track of Did you stick around
for a while or did you get a little.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Bit, But yeah, there wasn't really a place. It was
so full that eventually we were just like, it's probably
best if we just kind of let other people have
the room in there.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Yeah, because there was a it was packed to the gills,
but it was packed. There's lots of rooms in there.
It's a big space.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
So thanks for stopping by.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
It the show.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
But I believe my email is down.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
Wow, that's great.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Check your card.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
I would love that if my email went down. Yeah,
it's like my least favorite way of corresponding with people.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Really.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Mine's talking.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Interesting how how we travel together.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Yeah, but outside of the game itself, we maybe say
about ten words to each other.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Ay, right, it's the weirdest. It's the weirdest because I
really like you.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
I like you too.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
I know, I know that.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I get it.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
Like you get on the bus and you're watching whatever
you're watching on your phone. Heete's doing the same thing.
I do the same thing. After I sit down next
to you guys and we say hi, yeah, you do
the one photo on the plane and then that's yeah,
and that's about it.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
I think this is the concept that Tommy Jolson really
needs to wrap his head around that. All of us
see each other all week long. So when he's like, hey,
it's Christmas time, let's let's go to mall of America
and then let's spend nine hours together, none of us
want to do that. No, not one of us except
for him. It sounds like a good idea. That's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
I'm saying the exact same thing.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
It sounds like a great idea, and you're like, yeah,
that would be awesome, and then you get closer to
You're like, I'm.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Not doing that. I'm not doing that. No.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
No, by the way, does it is this Mike the
does this send me his Christmas Light Guide? Is this
your mic?
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Mike Marcott? Yeah, yeah he does.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
He has a holiday lights Yeah, he has a Yeah,
he has a website and he has this really cool
interactive map of the whole Twin Cities, metro even probably
the whole state and you can click on it and
you can like get you can like plan out your
holiday light travel.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
So if you want to go out with your family
and drive around, awesome idea.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Yeah, and you can making money off of this? Is
it a profitable?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
I have no idea to give me the mic am
I ca the MI giving me the mic dot com.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Is he hanging lights for people?
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Or I don't think he's doing that?
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Okay, all right, what a cool idea?
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
That map is money because it takes all the guest
work out of everything. You're like, Okay, we've got an hour,
and we want to stay in our little area, in
our little bubble. Wherever community you're in, you know exactly
where all the holiday lights are to be seen.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
What about this is well done? Bud Daniel, Minnesota. Minnesota
Holiday Lights Guide is powered by Sam's Christmas Village and
Light Tour in Somerset, which I've heard great things about.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yes, isn't that work? Tommy went to get his tree.
I think you were gone hawk on Thursday. Yeah, I
think that was Tommy was talking. Tommy talking about something
about Christmas.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Yeah, he was like one time with he and and
sas and then another day his family.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I think to Sam's Christmas Village. I'm so glad that
we actually are not doing the real tree anymore.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
What problem a huge fake tree?
Speaker 3 (23:37):
It's glorious. What wrong with fa?
Speaker 6 (23:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (23:43):
No, The thing is is that it all stemmed.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
From when the kids were little and then we'd have
to go walk around the farm and then walk Christy
would have to pick a tree, which was never the
first tree we saw.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
You go to a.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Smaller farm and then and then I'm sitting down there
just ass crack up sawing with the us you saw
ever that they gave you at the very beginning of
the at the gate there. And then you pick the tree,
and it's it's always an argument, and then she'll go, well,
I don't really like this tree, and I found out
you can actually return a tree.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
They just want to let you drink with it.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
But it's like it's like going to an apple farm
or a bucket patch. It is the people that do
this for a living. They've picked the good ones. And
the tree is already cut, it's sitting in the barn.
Just grab that and go.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
Do that.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Then No, no, no, no, a real Christmas tree is Christmas.
Get a real Christmas tree. No, don't buy a fake.
We've been doing it forever. Who cares.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
There's no there's no like pageant tree to like putting
up a fake tree.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Buy one from bed. He'll pay for it.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Every Friday we go to the barns and we go
to the tree farms, and it's just like, yeah, I'm
kind of just dumb.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Hey, musk, Yes, do you live in a studio apartment?
Speaker 3 (24:59):
No? Do not?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Then put up multiple Christmas trees in there.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
We have, actually we do two trees.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
See, well, quit bragging.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
We got the kids tree, which we still have because
the kids haven't quite moved out yet, right, so it's
all their stuff that you know, they made back when
there in school. And you're like, I'm not putting that
up on the varsity tree. That's JV downstairs.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Oh yeah, that's true.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
That's true, so Max, Isn't it so true?
Speaker 8 (25:23):
Though?
Speaker 6 (25:24):
Even when it gets the real tree gets a little
older and it starts to droop, there's an appreciation to
the sag.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Rightly, there really is beauty in the side. I'm not
against the naturals. It sounds like you are. Sounds like.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
You want manufactured, you want fake.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
I'm okay with it. Got you in their pocket.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Don't live like big naturals or small naturals like big
natural I knew it, I got it on the button bar.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Please.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Hey, by the way, check this out.
Speaker 3 (25:56):

Speaker 3 (26:00):
You're gonna love this.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Macy'son out some Monday that a single employee was responsible
for so many accounting irregularities that the company was forced
to delay its quarterly earnings report. The company recently discovered
that the unnamed employee intentionally hid one hundred and fifty
four million dollars.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
What my god, how how could you find that much?
I don't know, keeper or like an accountant.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
It's they haven't said who or why the employee did
the expend hit the expense.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
It almost has to be It can't be a cashier, right,
or even a store manager. There's got to be somebody
that that can cook the books.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
One hundred and fifty four million dollars so much that
they couldn't release their earnings report.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
Fractions of pennies, guys, it's no big deals to question
that one.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Would that be considered a heist? Pretty ingenious, it is.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
Well, we don't know where the money's at.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Well, do you have the rest of the stories? Echo,
I'm sorry, ahead, Well.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
It says that the first responsible is in a store
associate women's shoes.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Sauce. You get that joke. Is that? Were you listening? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
That's come on, buddy, married with children reference? Didn't you
work in a shoe store?
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Al Bundy? Isn't that an Al Bundy reference? M could
be you were kind of listening.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
I was listening. There was I'm reading the story right here.
Macy's lost one hundred and fifty four million dollars somebody
in women's shoes.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
I don't what did I miss? What's the bin? Is
it a movie reference? I don't know. No, I don't
get it. What's the bin? Let's do?
Speaker 8 (27:43):
Now?
Speaker 3 (27:43):
You're making this? Yeah, they're very chapped.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Hey, I can ask you one more question before headlines.
A gentleman, I almost a.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Gentleman love.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
You need to go home, my gentleman lover?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
No gentlemen, gentleman lovers.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Gentleman caller is probably the phrase that was in your brain,
but you slipped and said lover today.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Anyway, A gentleman email her the same thing, same thing, name.
Adam says. The one thing nobody's mentioned about Daniel Jones
coming here is that if you signed a big deal
with somebody else after we signed him, we get a
third round draft picking compensation.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Is that true? I don't know how. Yeah, I think
it's something like that. Yeah, then I get it, because
who's going to sign him to a huge deal? Yeah,
I don't. I don't get that part of it because
he's not going to get a big deal. And if
that was the case, then why wouldn't every single team
want him just to sit on the bench to get
a third round pick. There's got to be some kind
(28:45):
of a loophole there. I have no idea what the
answer is. He's going to get a prove it deal
like Sam did if that, but there's there's no money
left this year, right, You're going to get a minimum
deal somewhere. Yeah, anyway, all right, head lines boom, Now

like three hundred years before anybody else did. It's incredible. Man,
this guy was a martian, This guy was an alien
(30:36):
amongst us. You got to watch this documentary.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
I wonder, I wonder if it's an audio version. Do
you think I could do you have you have to
visually watch it? I think you want to see it.
You want to see the things he drew, because that's
the thing. He could draw things. He was drawing things
in ways nobody had ever ever drawn anything before. And
and the fact that he was a bastard son meant
that he didn't have to follow in his father's foot, prince,
(30:59):
so he he could learn what he wanted to learn,
and that was about nature. And Dude, I am flabberguested
by how fascinating this documentary.
Speaker 5 (31:07):
You know who else like to do drawings?
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Who's that? Simon?
Speaker 5 (31:11):
He like drawings?
Speaker 3 (31:15):
You guys. Boom, a restaurant owner in Maryland, confronted two
guys for peen in front of his store and then
the two guys beat him up. Boom should mind his business? Yeah,
they were both just peen and the guys like, hey,
don't don't be in my store please. The road again
said did they beat him up while they were peating?
(31:38):
Guess they probably up first.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
And if you beat him up with one hand, he's.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
All man, that's right. The Canadian government is auctioning off
a rare Pokemon card that it owns for some reason.
It could fetch thousands at auction. How do we feel
about governments running their own ebays? Basically? Cool? Man? I
wonder how they got it?
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Good question, it was seized one of those things like
maybe maybe like a.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Like like yeah, like a cool car. Oh, by the way,
you bought it on their car? No, no, no, not yet.
I will what's his name?

The quarterback we just played.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
This today, Williams a Bentley Suv.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
I've never seen anything like it. It's it's the coolest
car I've ever seen. I didn't know they made SUVs. Corey,
you got to see what this car looked like. Look
it up, a Bentley Suv. Craziest thing ever is it?
Speaker 3 (32:34):
The Oh this looks sweet? Yeah? Man, that's right here.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Oh no that's not that's not it. Sorry, I didn't
know that Bentley made subs. I know, I just derailed
the shoom. My apologies, but I love cars. I thought
they just did Christmas lights Bentleyville. You see what he
did then?
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Clever a cemetery in England is going to start charging
people to visit their loved one's graves. They'll still be
able to go for free between nine am and three
pm on weekdays, but if they want to go the
rest of the time, they have to pay around six
dollars for a VIP pass. Is that a bouncer at
the gate?
Speaker 8 (33:11):
Right?
Speaker 3 (33:11):
What?
Speaker 5 (33:12):
What?
Speaker 3 (33:12):
What is this Valley Fair, England cemetery in England? What?
Speaker 2 (33:19):
It doesn't surprise me because that cemetery people are dying
to get in there.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Yeah, anybody, thank you? That's good. That's a good dad joke.
One in four Americans say they have asked artificial intelligence
to help them make a decision about something in their lives. Nope, No,
does Google count is?
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (33:40):
Doesn't It kind of technically have your own right? Hi? What, Sauce,
You know, I don't like to push you in a
bad spot. It's not something I ever want to do.
I'll gladly go in that bad spot. That's what you
That's a weird sentence. There's a poll from a couple
of years ago, for whatever reasons, making the rounds. It
(34:01):
shows how clueless most Americans are. Oh boy asked Americans
about different demographics and wanted to see how they view
viewed the world and how wrong it is. Let's see
if you're smarter than the average person, Sauce, I do
approximately just get close if we just need your best guess,
(34:23):
and then the other number is going to blow I
think all of our minds and really dishearten us in
terms of the education system here in Minnesota. In the
United States, sa US approximately what percentage of Americans live
in New York City? Percentage of Americans that live in
(34:47):
New York City? Well, yeah, give us your give us
your logic out loud, and then we'll break it down,
and then I'm going to depress everyone.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
I mean, I would guess that, like, what are there
like six I mean, how many people live in the
United States? Start with that. Sure, I would guess it's
ten percent.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Well, how many people live in the United States? Wasn't
it like six point five billion in the whole world?
Is that true? Keep going, so you'd say it's like
eight billion, by the way, but it doesn't. That doesn't
change it. So I'd say five percent, five percent, five?
(35:42):
Anybody else have a guess? That was the same number.
I was gonna go with the five.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
I was gonna say three. I was gonna say three.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
Zach and Hawker exactly correct.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
It's three percent, eight hundred million Americans and no thirty
and forty ishes somewhere on that range.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
How about this, though, the average person thinks it's about
thirty percent. Thirty wow, which I think of how many
things have to be wrong for you to guess thirty percent.
That means you have almost no idea how many people
live in the United States? Almost know how many no
idea how many people live in New York City? Or
are just unbelievably bad at math?
Speaker 5 (36:20):
Right?
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Right? Not per ago in la and all that? Like? Right,
if you think a third of the people that live
in this country live in New York City, I just
have a lot of questions. Isn't that crazy? Average person
thinks it's thirty per That was ever true that thirty
percent lived in New York City? Yeah, when they were
still the colonies. I doubt it even even way back then,
(36:41):
I doubt it was ever thirty No, probably closer to
thirty maybe on that. On that note, By the way,
I saw a stat today in the prep. Shockingly enough,
there was talking about Saint Louis that Saint Louis's population
basically is the largest population decrease of a major city
I think in you s history. Wow, something like almost
(37:02):
a million people down to three hundred thousand in the
last sixty years, like the actual city of Saint Louis.
I'm sure the suburbs obviously have much more than that,
but the actual city no one lives there anymore, doesn't
surprise me. Wasn't crime a big, pretty big thing in
Saint Louis? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Yes, East Saint Louis was.
Speaker 8 (37:21):
Well, Chicago, yeah, right now, it's the second. I think
it's the second highest crime rate in the United States.
All right, here's another one for you.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
According to a recent poll, what does the average American
consider to be successful in terms of amount of money
that an individual makes in a year? Not a family,
not a household. It's not what I'm a megan, so,
but think about this. This is the This is the
subjective part of it, and this is why the number
might be hard to guess. It's not like what is
(37:56):
you know, sustainable or solid or what the average is.
It's what the average American classifies as quote that person
is successful. If you are successful, how much money a year?
I'm going to see you.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
That's a great I was gonna say one fifty is
probably better, though.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
I'm going to go with a quarter of a million.
Speaker 9 (38:17):
One Some of them oh zacho, Yeah, Well, played.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
I just love how confident you were with him. Well,
I'm going to.
Speaker 6 (38:31):
Go with.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
Americans thirty five, Max, you guess no, No, I forgot
to question outter.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
If Sausage said that, what was the question?
Speaker 3 (38:51):
A good Here's here's the deal with Zachary, though, I
was so convinced he was just doing the bit from
the what percentage of America live in New York City
When he said one twenty five, I just assumed he
was doing that to be funny. That's why I didn't
hammer him like I would hammer Sauce. I'm like, Zach's
probably just being clever, were you? But because it's white
bear math, I guess it's like fifty to fifty. No,
(39:13):
or exactly, say sixty five to fifty five. By the way,
the right answer two hundred and seventy thousand dollars is
what the average American thinks is, quote, you are a
successful person. If you're at two seventy that's around four
times what the average American makes. More than four times.
It really crazy, huh. Anyway, By the way, the average
(39:41):
boomer said one hundred thousand dollars a year. So basically,
the younger you are, the higher the number you classify
as successful, which makes sense, which means you're also going
to be changing jobs over and over. Maybe, for example,
the average gen Zer said five hundred and eighty eight
thousand is successful.
Speaker 8 (40:00):
Yup. I feel like the Internet has completely skewed people's
minds into what is no doubt.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
If you don't have a private jet in the mansion,
you just haven't made it right. Even if you are
doing very well.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
The Internet is convinced us that everybody's happy every day.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
That is right, very well, said hug All right, here's
something that I didn't know until this morning. And if
somebody has been listening to this show for almost twenty
three years and said, you guys have talked about that
six times, I apologize it is completely gone from my brain.
So this is something I learned today. What is it
called again, When something like Kleenex or tvo just yeah,
(40:37):
but when it like takes over the like Q tip, right,
that's a brand, yeah, but Kleenex aspirin exactly, But it
takes over so much that it's not even a brand
name anymore. That's just the name of it, that is
the product, yam. I didn't know this until this morning.
I think that is the same thing for trampoline. Really,
(40:58):
the generic term was re bound Tumblr, but then the
brand name trampoline got so popular that now there everybody
just calls them trampolines. Everybody just wanted to say, I
did not know that trampoline was a brand name at
one point.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
Rebound Tumblr, Max, you had a rebound Tumblr last week, and.
Speaker 8 (41:16):
Oh yeah, he's got to go crash the boards.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
By the way, In case you guys are wondering, my god,
if you've been sitting around wondering, there are multiple ladies
in America named jen Z.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
I was wondering that.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Yeah, no z e E R jen Z. There's a
doctor in Utah, another doctor in Utah that's the same lady.
Speaker 3 (41:47):
Now have you guys seen those videos of The one
that makes me laugh is somebody put together LinkedIn profiles
that match smells like teen Spirit lyrics. It's like Pearl Jam.
It's so good, so good. Somebody with every song, you know,
so the chorus that smells like teen Spirit famously is
kind of hard to tell what he's saying until you
(42:08):
know that it's clear as day. So somebody put together
a super cut of like names from LinkedIn that kind
of look like what Kurt Cobain is singing. It's so
genius because none of the names are normal names. It's
pretty good, it's worth it, brilliant, it's really super funny.
Last one, this one's epic. A car dealer in New
Zealand refused to give a couple their fifteen thousand dollars refund.
(42:34):
Not only did he not do that, he sent them
pictures of poop instead. Open one hand. This is the
app Where's my refund? Which one versus cemi a curler
of a dumb They wanted a refund, they got That
(42:55):
guy got twice Christmas present or his Christmas card? Yeah,
all of it. I wonder if he thought of it
through first or he just had it in his uh,
you know, on his phone probably yeah, under his his uh.
One of those things called sauce where you get like
those secret photos, like the saved photos. Oh what album
is that? Is there? Like, isn't there like a h album? Yeah? Hidden?
(43:18):
Thank you. It's just called hidden photos. And you have to
have like FaceTime to even get in there, and you gotta
have facial recognition. Just get in.
Speaker 1 (43:25):
I can do what used to be a calculator w
app yeah, I've heard that Sauce told us about that,
not that you had it.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
But anyway, Michael J. Musman the third, You're an American treasure.
Love you guys. I think you walked right into a
sucker bet with Sauce, but uh whatever, it's your money.
I'm not gonna type with you gamble with Yeah. That's
just actually tweeted it and I'm like, I did, what
y you sure?
Speaker 2 (43:48):
Same thing with a bonus bet this week and I
remember making.
Speaker 3 (43:50):
That game was the Gophers and Penn State bet you
you know what an idiot I am. We're back tomorrow
five thirty until nine nine to noon. Is already have
the Warner Forday you two.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
Abada would love you
