These are altered after announcements.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Clue number four.

Speaker 7 (18:46):
These can be digital, but historically these are paper max
YEP or birth certificate no max out as well, so
carl out max out.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
For the rest of number eight.

Speaker 7 (18:58):
We're down to Dove, Brett and Tom. Clue number five
involves a five by five grid.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Brett Brett bingo card. That's right.

Speaker 7 (19:18):
Card and Brett gets back in this all right, I'm ticket.
Tom and Carly are on the brink here they're in trouble.
There's four to go, and you guys are both three
behind Max and Dobb, so not mathematically out. But if
they get one more point, either one of them gets
one more point, you guys are mathematically out. So Dobb
and Max have three, Brett has two, four items ago.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Here's number nine of.

Speaker 7 (19:44):
BC Clue number one is a starting point of sorts.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Clue number two involves preparation.

Speaker 7 (20:04):
Clue number three sometimes used in remote locations.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Carly ye bat cave, Carly out for the rest of
number nine. Is there a record?

Speaker 7 (20:19):
People?

Speaker 2 (20:21):
Guess I hold that one more than you? Yeah, you're fine.

Speaker 7 (20:25):
Clue number four offers a chance at acclamation.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
Dove base camp. That's right, here we go. It mathematically
eliminates Tom and Carly.

Speaker 7 (20:42):
Now you guys, now, you guys just have the good
points to make sure you're even eligible for next year,
But Dov knocks you out of this year's tournament.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
Freaking dog. Max wants Dob to win more than himself.

Speaker 7 (20:55):
Gosh, all right, Dove Lambert with four, Max with three,
Brett with two, Carley and Tom was zero three to go,
still going to be down to the wire.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Here's number ten of BC Clue Number one.

Speaker 7 (21:08):
The origin of the first word is unclear, but it
likely came from British slang.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
Clue number two ends with a hook Tom. Yep, that's wrong,
Billy club Tom.

Speaker 7 (21:32):
For the rest of number ten, hook it hurt. Clue
number three strong association with jumping.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Dove. Why wouldn't you get this right? Bungee cords? Right?
Here we go. Five.

Speaker 7 (22:00):
That's the same guy that gets shut out two years
ago and had to sit out an entire year.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
I get to come back again, Cory. How does that feel?
All right?

Speaker 7 (22:07):
So Carly and Tom need at least one to make
sure they're not shut out of next year's tournament.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Brett, you're mathematically out. Max.

Speaker 7 (22:16):
You need both to force a tie breaker. But again,
run up the score anyway, because you want to make
sure you get a Shane at a wild card. So
try to get a point or two Dov. If you
get this right, you win.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
Max.

Speaker 7 (22:25):
You need the last two for the ties. Here's number
eleven of BC. Clue number one involves waiting, sometimes impatiently.
Clue number two involves a belt. Clue number three could be.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
The location of an emotional reunion. Clue number four this
involves taking what's yours.

Speaker 7 (23:13):
Clue number five might be the end of a journey.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
I can't max. I can't think of the exact phrasing.

Speaker 7 (23:29):
Three two bag carriage max out and then locks.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Car baggage claim. Baggage baggage claim. But dog has guaranteed
a spot in.

Speaker 7 (23:45):
The semi finals.

Speaker 6 (23:49):
Yes, baggage claim right now, getting that Juggalo jersey for me.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
I just needed one, all right? So the sweat no
was on Pelasaro.

Speaker 7 (23:59):
If Pelasara get shut out, he's out of next year's
tournaments and.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
We need Tom to get on the board to be eligible.
He needs one.

Speaker 7 (24:05):
Guy's only had two guesses, just trying to get guarantee
a spot next year. I know Dov going for six
just for fun. I can't believe do for YouTube. Here's
number twelve, a critical one for a couple of you.
Number twelve of BC. Clue number one might include a charge.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Clue number two could be terrifying.

Speaker 7 (24:38):
Clue number three could create a sense of identity or pride.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
Clue number four this is a signal Brett yep, batt'll
cry that's right and I'll do it. Okay, please include me.
Tom Seed five gets shut out. Yeah, I had nothing to.

forty fourth seed, Dove Lambert brilliant.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
It is brilliants the golf.

Speaker 7 (25:19):
Last year, that's about it. Last year Jeff Lambert shocked
the world and made a run, right, didn't he put
up like five or six in round one as well?
Lawyer Lambert had a big, big year. I think that
was a year ago. And now his son Dove does
what his brother Sauce has never done. Sauce has never
won an invitational matchup. He'll try to on Monday, and.

right there on beggars claim.

Speaker 7 (26:32):
Man, it's just it is one thing to lose, it's
a whole nother thing to lose to dove like. That's
something you guys are going to really have to talk
to your therapist about. You know, you need to have
an extra session and just pull up a seat. I
think there's so there's a lot of bcs.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
It's all right, you know what, Tom, you're busy anyway.

Speaker 5 (26:52):
Yeah, yeah, you didn't want to come back. I think

always actually not next year two years from now. Now

let's go.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
Well, unless they find the bodies in your yard, the.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Body count is going to be significant. Max.

Speaker 7 (27:27):
Nice performance, though, nice performance. You guys are still not
out right here. You're good.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
There's with some ties.

Speaker 7 (27:33):
Maybe you're back for wild card round. We'll see how
that works out. Three is a pretty solid score. We'll
see it might be enough to cheer against. One's not
going to be.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
Got it right now. But that's okay. You're represented.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
All that matters is Dove got through. That's all that
really matters. Thank you, Max. I appreciate that.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
Looks like he's in shot.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
Well how about how about also, Max? We mentioned it yesterday.
You're in the bracket.

Speaker 7 (27:55):
Reveal you've always had a pretty rough draw, right, You've
faced ag in round one and like, all right, you said,
who do I got one? You got Pelisero Pelsarah's gonna
be tough to beat. Little did you know?

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Fourth? If anybody knew it was me correct did really well?
Thank you?

Speaker 7 (28:14):
Turns out you had a rough draw, just the wrong
guy right, face the goat. It's okay, all right, you
lose to Tom Brady.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
It's okay, baggage. I think we have to require that
an icy p shirt is worn in the semis. Get
one absolute, I mean, I'll get one. I'll pull one
out of my closet.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
Don't worry a lot of semi drivers wearing icy peacha.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Oh oh god, I don't even want to know. It's
got to be Tommy. It's got to be Tommy. It's
just this has to be Tommy. Good morning. Thank you, Tom.

Speaker 7 (28:58):
I love you.

Speaker 6 (28:59):
I always believe in me. Unfortunately you've been replaced by Max.
I hate to say that on air, maybe and.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Five PM will make out and celebrate.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
Was that a weird code that I don't understand.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Nope, that's the truth. Location location plus mochin.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
We love you Tommy.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Thanks Tommy.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
Here he goes, are you tom she made my weekend?

Speaker 2 (29:25):
I love you Bart? You too? Did? Yeah? Sure, after
every single he won?

Speaker 3 (29:32):
Only when the Lamberts win. All right, Tommy, great though,
I'm gonna ask you a question that's real. Now for
a second, why did this executive director of the NFL
Players Associate quit? Why did what happened? What the hell
was going on with that guy.

Speaker 5 (29:45):
Little hung up on that Billy Club cast? I know,
I know, I'm trying to change much other stuff. Yeah,
let's go to the darkest subject possible.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
What happened? I don't know why.

Speaker 5 (29:56):
He didn't have to he voluntarily resigned, and it sounds
like there were some players who didn't want him to
do that, but it was just there was a lot
of stuff there. There's certain Listen, there were dozens of
people who were let go or voluntarily left the NFLPA
after Ludowell got there, And that means there were dozens
of people maybe with various access to grind and might

(30:18):
have wanted to put certain things out there, and it
just kind of kept mounting, and so in the end
he decided not worth it to keep getting bashed around
when he can go do something else.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
With his life.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
Okay, then next question, do you think Jordan Addison will
miss three games still even though they reduced his charge?

Speaker 5 (30:34):
It depends. It's somewhere you know he's going to get suspended.
I don't think there's any question about that, but one
game is at three games, it'll be somewhere in there.
I would anticipate that they're going to have to, you know,
work without him at the start of the season, but
certainly could have been worse under the circumstances.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
Last one, real quick, I'm sorry, I just got an
email from our good friend on day over in England.
He said, first time ever the NFL games did not
completely sell out in yet London. Right away, What do
you think think?

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Are they so they're going to sell out? You're just
saying it wasn't.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
Immediately and they haven't sold out yet.

Speaker 5 (31:07):
I had not heard that. I mean, they've had a
they've had a pretty long large inventory of games there,
So if that's true, I don't know if it is.
If that's true, then I would just anticipate that means,
you know, all the people who've been competing to get
into games for the last fifteen years, maybe some of
them got to go.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
He says.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
It's the first time ever that an NFL game did
not sell out in two days. It's been an eighty
percent increase in price since twenty twenty one, eighty.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
Percent in four years. Wow. Well.

Speaker 5 (31:37):
Also remember though in past years as well. For a
long time, it was like if you had tons of
fans in Germany, which there are from the NFL Europe days,
they'd go to London, so that's where they could see
a game. He had fans in Ireland, they'd go to London.
Now there's games everywhere. There's games in Spain, so you've
got options throughout Europe. And maybe there's people who, you know,
if they're going to travel internationally to go to a
game or us citisens in Europe, maybe they're just going

(32:00):
someplace else.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
That could be it.

Speaker 7 (32:01):
Tom, you're the best dude, enjoy the travels twenty twenty
seven Boys NFL networked though starting next Friday, you said,
is the camp tour next Friday?

Speaker 5 (32:12):
