My kids love the Reces lounge when they come visit the office. It is the best. It's superior to every other candy. It's the goat. The absolute. It's a

“Michael Jordan of candies. It's Wayne Gretts give candies. The Michael Phelps of candies. That's what”

Reces is. Reces the official candy partner barcel sports. Go get Reces wherever you shop. Okay, let's go. Welcome to part of my tape. We're going to buy draft kings. The crown is yours. Today is Wednesday, September 2nd, boys, the com before the storm because on Thursday, we start. Football all the way back. We have our college football mega preview with Brandon and Tom

Fernelli coming up. But how's everyone feeling? We're feeling good. There's not a lot going on. I mean, the biggest story going on right now in the sports world besides Deja on love. Which we got to on Monday is minimize Deja love. No, Deja love a huge story. I did love that no pun intended that Struggling on the 49ers changed his number to Deja on love's number. I love that. He's now number seven. So if Deja on love

had just been able to hold out another week, he could have been like, look, I'm number seven. Yeah, the name's different. That's my, you know, that's my Swiss name or something. If I was Deja on love, I would issue a cease and desist against dribbling. Yeah. Like they're just given away that number.

Now after Deja on made a famous. Schibling should pay Deja on. He should $1.3 million for that number.

The biggest story, though, other than that is a boring story that teams just keep getting sold and bought and Stan Cranky is now the owner of the Los Angeles Angels, which I think is good. I think it's good for baseball. Yeah, because they were owned by a guy that just did not give a shit and pissed away the prime of Mike Trout's career. Yeah. Do you know, I learned a weird stupid fact about the Angels? Hank, I'll ask you this trivia question. The Angel Stadium is the

blank oldest stadium in Major League Baseball. Third, who? Okay, you went the other way. It's fourth. But yeah, I don't know. You got a Fenway. Rigly Fenway. What's one of my missing? Come at ski? No, there's one missing. This is very obvious. Oh, Dr. Stadium. And then the Angels. Cut, crazy. That is crazy. Yeah, that is nice. Yeah. But that's just not because it's historic. No, because he's cheap. And everyone's built new stadiums in the last three years. Everyone has spent

“money on their team except for this guy. Yeah, I think it's good for the Angels, right?”

Already marino's not it. I mean, they had show haotani and Mike Trout in their prime and didn't do anything. Yeah, it's disgusting what they did. Disgusting what they did with that roster. So yeah, I think it's good for baseball. But I mean, pretty soon Stan Cranky is just going to own everything. Yeah, we're just kind of waiting for him to buy the rest of the farmlanders.

Arsenal owners do not like him, but then they just won the league. They gave him a pass because they

just won the EPO. Yeah. So yeah, he's he's done a lot of winning. He has, I mean, one with the nuggets.

“One with the Rams. One with Arsenal. How of the the blizzard done? I think he has a”

he's cross team. Yeah, the NLL teams are really good. Yeah, they are. Yeah. The blizzard. Is it the blizzard? Yeah. Leave the mammoth. Oh, the blizzarders overwatch team. So he bought stake in Blizzard who is the developer of different games. Got it. Yep. Oh, you know, is it. Arele across team with smoke? Yeah. That's facts. Even if we don't play in the same league. We play outdoors. Yeah. That's that's where the cross is meant to be played. Yes. Okay.

Well, does anyone have anything else? I mean, we've, we've, we're going to get to a lot of the sports stories going on in hot sea cool throne. Well, yeah. And we're going to talk a little bit about it with with Tom and Brandon, but the big college football story today, because there's no real games to speak of outside of week zero is there's going to be a court ruling on Thursday that will determine whether or not LSU is allowed to have players who worked out and tried out

for NFL rosters come back and play in school. The big town has already banned that from happening. Yep. The leaders. Yeah. The SEC condemned it. And then they got together and they're talking about banning it. And then now they're saying that they will in fact kick LSU out if they

“attempt to do this. Okay. Which, I mean, this is good. I think for LSU's brand, it's just being like”

rebels. Yeah. And it conference had also features Ole Miss. They are the true rebels. But it's also like Lane Kiffin doesn't give a shit about anything except winning football games. And I don't think that he'll be allowed to do it, but it's not as bad. It's not as much of a sky as falling situation as everybody else is making out to me. Yep. Because it's only players that got that extra year that are allowed to come back. So this is the only time that this is going to be a question.

Well, yes college football is a wild west right now with very few rules, but it's not like in the future these guys are going to be able to go to the NFL and come back to college afterwards. It's kind of a one year thing. I don't think that they're going to be allowed to do it, but that would be it would be kind of funny if LSU had like guys that just tried out for the NFL. Yeah, going up against Clemson and just a bunch of guys that like dabble won't even go into

the portal. No, there's got to be like. No, it has to be recruited to the issue of met the person with their 15 outstanding young men who live in and bleed Tiger Orange. Yes. The other the other story going on is everyone's doing their fantasy drafts this week next week. Where do you draft Puka and Josh Jacobs? The great moral question. Do you issue a stay? I do like I do look whatever there's a fantasy guy online who like if a rest happens he's like I've now downgraded

him to like at ninth round value. Again, that's what that's the important part. I also saw that the GM for the Packers said he's not seen the Josh Jacobs video. He also gave that press conference

“with his eyes closed. So I don't know if that's why he didn't see it. When he hasn't have you seen it?”

I have not seen it. Do you think that the Packers have had a chance to see it yet? I think if they wanted to see it, they probably could. They probably have a security person. They probably have they probably have a big dumb adjacent guy who could probably get his hands on it.

But then again, if you don't open your eyes, you never have to see it. Also, the Packers

disfalls on the shoulders of their 30,000 owners. True. Like all them are just as guilty as anyone for not disfalls. Because as a fancy football owner, I issued a statement during my draft that I was not going to touch him. I did too, and then he fell to the ninth round. And if there's that kind of value, then it's almost like your virtue signaling by not drafting himself. You kind of have to do it. Right. Right. You're being a white knight at that point.

I actually didn't have no one cares, but we did a fancy draft Blutman in Ebo and I and Blutman wanted to take him in the sixth round. And I was like, dude, you can't, we can't do that. And then he last all the way to the ninth round. I was like, and we had the wrap round. So we didn't pick him in the eighth. That's good. Yeah. We took him with a pay. Take the second pay. Yes, you dropped that was punishment. Yeah. Is that he doesn't get that guaranteed contract that he would

get in the seventh round. Fall all the way to the ninth round. Yeah. I have maybe what I think might be the worst fantasy football team in history right now. Oh, no. And it was I panicked during the draft yesterday. Obviously, I don't care that much about fantasy. It's fun to talk about, but I guess the line share of my brain is allocated towards just like thinking of which futures I'm going to take that will probably be wrong. So your double dipping process. Yeah. It's kind of like

you that off. What my fancy strategy this year came down to was essentially guys that were good four years ago. And then if it's not a guy that was good four years ago, it's a player that is on the wash and can commanders that I think will have a breakout season. Love that. So those are the two

buckets that I'm really pulling from this year. You always got to be, you got to leave yourself

a spot late in the fantasy draft to draft a guy that was good a while ago. I think I got Tony Gonzalez

if he's around, I saw a picture of him consider it. He looks like you can still play. Yeah, I would

definitely consider it. Did you ever shock you come out and say that he got a vasectomy when he got drafted? That was weird. Yeah. I think you did. Yeah. Just like a preemptive. Some guys like their balls to play today. Mary did the game. Yeah. I think he did say that. So it was funny seeing like these old athletes just. All right, Jerry Jacques, you got to dissect me. So that was essentially my strategy mixed in with one extra thing which was a new face and new place locked it in. Can he

“gain well? Yeah. Buck. Yeah. And I cemented that in my brain by drafting him. Yeah. Yeah. That's how you”

learn things. We were get, by the way, we do the new new, new, or same face, new place in a trust-free environment on Monday's show. Got some blowback that we're our ball knowledge. Listen, that's the, that's the point of the exercise. We get ready for the regular. Yeah. If we screwed up

on the first Sunday of of the NFL season, we said, Kenny Gainwell's on the box. Then you could be like,

dude, you don't fucking know ball. Everyone has to learn their process and the offseason at their own pace. Sometimes we're slow learning. Yeah. My brain just, it shifts. It undergoes slow, but steady changes. And, you know, there's certain times a year that that happens. And right now it's where I'm getting those old wrinkles back from the NFL. Yeah. All right. Do you guys want to do a pick for week one of college football? Sure, dude. Did a terrible job week zero as a collective? That's

“okay. I think we went one and two. That's okay. That's pretty good. It's pretty good. Draft King's”

Minus minus 10 against the tigers. The week one college football slate is not great. It's it's great week two. Week one. There's not. I mean, listen, we're going to be excited to watch football. But it could be it's lacking in some

departments. That is though. That's okay. The premier game on Saturday, Saturday night. That's okay. We still love it. We still love it. Very much. So so much. So so much. We're proud of it.

“I'm going to take West Virginia minus 21. I'm high on rich rod. I think he's going to get his”

swagger back this year. I think this is a rich rod Renaissance year. You just close your eyes. Late October. Game base at Morgan Town. Pat McFee's going crazy. Rich rod. Hey, it's it's like the old days. Okay. Yeah. That's interesting because I also have a favorite. That's okay. Okay. Week one is for favor. Week one is kind of for favorites. So I'm going to yeah, that's good. I'm going to do it. Put it in the spread for LSU whoever's doing this. Yeah, minus 10, right? Yeah. Yeah.

I kind of like the under in that game too. All right. I'm going to take Alabama. Yeah, Crimson Tide. Yeah. 27 and a half. Yeah. Look at him. Roll. They're going to see a. All right. This is the BTA Paralyze. BTA over plus five, six, five. Love it. Anything else that's popping off right now? Live is dead. Oh. That's not true. Who's tweeting meatballs for Max's account?

That Max probably. So Max, there was a tweet for Max's account that said just meatballs and then he quote treated and said who's tweeting meatballs for my account? It's probably Max. Yeah, we're all looking for the guy who tweeted from Max's. Was there any chance that Max left his Twitter open on his computer? I don't believe so. I don't think so either. I'm going to call Max real quick. Just. Do you think he picks up? Probably. He's probably yet. Just he's got pasta sauce all over

that you probably have dripping down your your your beard right now. If you think that they have

“Alfredo and Italy, you're an absolute. Oh, no. Did you see them out rush more on Monday?”

Yeah, it was I think the fact of that was Zach. I like still thinking that was edited to like that video. He just supposed to be shown to me to make me think that it was Zach. I saw it. What? To the full show. What do you mean? He said he was your one one pick for heavy things? Insane. I was I think he still mad at me about the bad friends incident. No, he's got a date with Rudy. We're going to talk about that in a minute on the show. Max, the question though, we have

we're calling you we miss you. Who's tweeting meatballs from your account? The 100% names. Like

his my Twitter is is logged into the booth the booth computer, which means that names

has full access to my Twitter, which is I realize it's down very bad. No. Oh, wait. Is this are you logged in right now, Zach? On Max's Twitter? Is that again? Yes, hit hit hit a tweet on Max's account right down. What should we say? Maybe some about LeBron or how about the LeBron is as good as the Alfredo in Italy. It's good. It doesn't exist. Okay. And then people are going to be like, wow, he's just well checking Alfredo. Okay, hit send course. All right, we're good. All right, see you

Max. See you on Monday, right? Max. Congratulations on Taco fall. Yeah, congratulations. Taco fall. Taco fall. Yeah. Also, Pete Prisco's was Pete Prisco. You ducked, Pete Prisco. He was looking for

you. I also said the PFT loves jail nerds. I know that he wanted me to not hear that. I heard it.

I saw it. God. That's embarrassing. Oh, man. You listened. Okay. It's okay. All the interceptions he's throwing is just because he's trying new things. He said he was trying new things. I couldn't take my head though. I know you'd like to talk about jail nerds and tell me to take my headphones off. My head sounds wrong. Yeah. I can't hear him. Okay. You can't hear. You took the headphones off. All right, see you Max. Have fun with the Alfredo. Yeah. All right. Bye. Oh, Alfredo was was created in

Rome, Italy in the early 20th century. Oh, that's a new one. Early 20th centuries, a new one. Oh, no, no, that's not a new one. That's 1908. Okay. So what is back saying Alfredo? Is that true? We got piezons in the in the booth. He's hammered. Yeah. I think maybe Max just hasn't eaten Alfredo this week. Yeah. What is it? What does he mean? He's not eaten Alfredo. Alfredo doesn't work for

“sex vacation. It's too heavy. You have to stay light. What is that? What they just don't have”

Alfredo there? Catch a puppy. Yeah, catch a puppy is delicious. Can we do some trust for you real quick? I didn't see anyone I was there. A lot of carbonara and like pesto and lasagna. Okay. And also just the NFL draft. Yeah. People forget she ain't as such a fucking ballnower and ball hallic that he went to Italy and stayed up all night watching the NFL draft. That's how I respect the fuck out of you soon. So those sex vacation. Yeah. Trust your go ahead, trust me.

And Max does have to take his headphones off for this. I'm feeling really, really bad about the upcoming commander season. Why? Very bad about it. Bad vibes coming out of camp from the local media from the GM who's already get up and for the team and saying that there's a lot of stuff that they've done behind the scenes. Okay. The fan base hasn't seen to shore up this roster. Okay. Saying it's unfair to judge a general manager based on moves that only took place six months ago.

Just bad just bad vibes. So we haven't been a lot of good one story. What's the success? Do

“you want to change it? I think you said 10 wins when we had booker on play off. No, it's a playoff.”

Playoffs. Playoffs is that's still success. Listen. So that's I'm holding firm playoffs. That's success. I'm just I'm getting, I don't know if it's just this time of year. You know, your body experience is trauma that you don't even know about. And so maybe every year I'm just used to getting my teeth kicked in. Yeah. This time of year that it's just like a defense mechanism I have. It's early September wake up the guy from Green Day and I feel like this is where I get my heart

ripped out of my chest every year. I think this is a totally normal thing because I've had a similar week as well with the bears defense. Okay. Where I've been Kyler Gordon might not play it all this year. We had to make a trade. We don't we already were thin at defensive line. We had to trade

I'm at the same thought where I was just like, hey, what if the defense is worse than last year and we have to just score 40 points of game. So I think this is where you, this is my part of,

“yeah, this is the part of the season where you have to, you have to get in your”

feels and and and scaries before we kick off the the season. I got to work through all of it right now. Have you guys been going through any? Have you guys had any trustry, you know, like dark thoughts?

Hank? No, I'm excited. Okay. Good. Shane? I mean, of course. Yeah, I'm never going to

down share it. Yeah. I mean, the the the charters have pretty brutal schedule. Yeah. The memes memes text me a couple hours ago asking if I saw what the what was it we six through eight week eight and nine in nine. It's the Rams and Texans back to back. Okay. That's pretty fucked up for memes to taxi that. Yeah. I was feeling that I was. Hey, do you think play off. Dude, we do this every year. Okay. You're going to be a winner. You got to beat good teams.

That's not my worry. I'm not always true Hank. I'm trying to think of some recent examples. My worry is Herbert dying. Mm-hmm. And I was trying to share that information with Shane.

“That is quarterback. My die. What about you memes? I'm fired up. I think that's my start for no.”

Okay. What about you, Zach? I'm worried about the energy and locker room. Yeah. Very worried. Yeah, fair. Fair. But I think that's that's normal. You got it. You can't go into the season being like where the best team ever. I think especially if you're a fan of a team that historically has not been very good. Right. I can't help but think that bad things are about to happen. And it's going to take like four years of any sort of success to change my my like natural inclination on September.

First about any of that. Well, yeah. And it's also like the way that the commanders went, you know,

rookie year Jane Daniels than this, then last year. Like I'm kind of it's staring at a similar thing where it's like last year was so fun and it will be very hard to be as fun and when the NFC North again, it's hard, you know, mountain to climb back up. Yeah. What if it goes weird? But yeah, I think I did see a chart that made me happy yesterday and it was the the youngest to oldest NFL teams.

“You're young again. And last year, the commanders were by far the oldest team in the NFL”

and you saw it on our defense with how slow we were. And now maybe some of these guys went back to college. I don't know. But now we're only 27 years and 102 days, which puts us one, two, three, four, fifth to last six to last. That's good. That's right. Right next to the seehawk. So we're in normal a normal age range. Falcon sneaky. Oh, what the hell? Yeah. Falcon sneaky old dolphins. Well, the baby dolphins. That's tough when you're the Falcons in your old and bad. Yeah. You know,

and that's like the Rams are old, but they're old and good. That's the quadrant of the graph. You don't want to be in the old and bad. The dolphins by far the youngest team in the NFL. Yeah. Okay. Let's let's see how it's equal to home. We're going to talk some more sports. And then we will get to our Mount Rushwort. And then our college football mega preview with Brandon Walker and Tom Fronelli. Okay. Hot sea cool drone is brought to you by tick pick the no nonsense, tick it

me PFT John Gruden. John Gruden. First, big cat Dave Ryan Whitney. And me 18 holes in me and Hank. We're in lockstep. We are in lock. So why are we on hot seat? Because Ryan Whitney is it's going to be Ryan Whitney verse. The lockstep. Yeah, that's that's that's I guess the hot seat's Ryan Whitney because he's gonna have to carry. It's gonna be a lot of pressure. I just feel I feel very confident and I'm excited.

Wouldn't you say? So I'm not on the hot seat. So the expectations for my golf is your expectations to win. My expectations are Ryan Whitney should win with a little assist for me and Dave. Yeah, if you show up on time, give him a couple of reads. That's really all like the one thing that's hit a couple drivers in the middle sleep in. He's not going to be happy. That's true. So are we going to have a

“rules official? I think if I keep rally is going to be the rules official. I feel bad for Frankie”

Brely. Yeah. That's going to be a very tough job. Yeah. Frankie Brely. Yep. Now, would he be compromised anyway? 100%. Is he would he be more inclined to rule in favor of certain teams? I think he's going

to try to be impartial, but you never know what the Dave Frankie relationship. But yeah, I don't I don't

feel any pressure in this golf outing other than like I said. I'd say two drives in the middle. Maybe one chip that gets close and hit one long put boom. Job is done. I can't wait to have follow my boys out there. It's going to be great. Yeah, I'm excited. So it doesn't rain. Could people do a free to play on it? There is a free to play on draft Kings. Use code grudge match on draft Kings. And if you, it's a bunch of questions. If you pick the most questions

correct, you win a share of $10,000, $10,000 DK dollars. I got a question. Yes, 50. Can I just do this in certain states or is it available? It's available in all 50 states. Oh, that's crazy. Okay. That's sick. Yeah, yeah, you go hand. Good point, Hank. Yeah, memes. Can memes ask a question, Hank? Zack, you said all the pressures on hand. I would like him to elaborate on that. Yeah, no, all the pressure.

Yeah, definitely. It is high pressure. No, I have, I have, I am definitely the worst performer.

Although, pick out the rider cup, not great, but I definitely can't. I don't golf. You golf, you've been golfing this summer. The rider cup? You've been, no, I'm saying before the rider cup. I'm just saying, did I chalk you men in history of golfing on camera? But I don't golf, but you do now. But I didn't before the rider cup. But you do now, so there's pressure. I will, I will give four shots. Okay. I will, I will, I will contribute four shots if I don't then

hand up. I did not do my job. But, Hank, you're the best golfer on your team. You golf by far the most out of anyone who's playing. I mean, PFT and PFT is probably close. He was also in Interemptational. So he's, he's the golfer of the group. Okay. So it was green. I was, I'm the only one on my team, not the way I, I'm the golfer. We were to sit in a room together and let's say Hank and I did a podcast. Yeah. And somebody was like, walked into the room, who's the golf guy here? Hank.

Well, these are UFC guys, Zach. Yeah. But yeah, there's a lot of pressure on me. There's a fly over guy here. Thankfully, I can, I got sex marathon guy memes. I can go from both sides. Oh, Matt. Things are going, things are going south. I can just switch. So that's that crown from memes. I'm very excited about this. I can't wait. I hear it's a very nice course that we're going to be playing. Brand new course. Hank and I just got done. We played Pebble over the weekend with at a wonderful

draft Kings event. And it was a, it was Hank golf this week. It was real blast for work. This was a business trip. And so we did get a pre-round in Friday. That was just a golf on Monday. No. Oh. This was

“awesome. Yeah, it's on Saturday that we played Pebble. And it was, there's a lot of fun. I think with”

me and him, we did a shambler on the back nine. I think we were about even weren't we? Yeah, we played well. We were kind of on fire on the back nine. And then at the Q&A afterwards, there was a very, there was a funny moment where they asked us to get up on stage with Frank Kelly and do like a Q&A with the audience. And they said something to Hank about Hank,

what would tell the story? You got confused about what? Well, first of all, first of all, Hank wasn't

talking at all in the Q&A. First of all, Frank Kelly and no did a full set. Like, add dinner. Absolutely crushed it. Like, was so, so, so funny. Everyone was laughing. It was a great amount of time. And then they were like, hey, well, you guys follow up after and do a Q&A with Frank Kelly and no. And I was like, I don't know what I'm going to supposed to say. It was me, PFT and Francis. And I didn't, I didn't necessarily have questions. I wasn't like, I wasn't, I didn't,

I didn't know what to do up there. They were like, well, you guys go up, I was like, sure.

“You remember the Jerry O'Connor interview? So I was kind of, it was kind of like, I was kind of sitting”

up there, yes. And up there laughing, you know, PFT would say something, and I would just sell it, like it was really funny. Thank you. And then I said, I wasn't really funny. No, no, he was trying. No, no, he was trying. He was trying. He was trying to do a great job right now. I love it. And, and I said, I chondent, I was like, yeah, that was great or something. And then there was a group of guys right to my left that started like laughing and they're like, oh, thank you,

Hank, like, we did a side bed on like your word count. Uh, and you just hit it or whatever. And I was like, oh, I got you. And then they did a Q&A where they pass out mics to the crowd. That same group of guys was like, what was your, he said, were shot today? But because it was the guys that had just been telling me about their word count, I thought he said, what was your word count today? So I was like, oh, you know, it was, uh, it's about 12. Now it's 13, 14, 15, six. And they were like,

no, no, no, no, no, we're shot. It was the room. It was bad. Yeah, it was really good. I was like,

Yeah, no, it wasn't fun. It wasn't fun. It wasn't fun. It wasn't fun. It wasn't fun. It was a genius. Chad loves Hank right now. We got burned by Frank out. I don't know. He was just so funny. Uh, tough to follow. Yeah. It's a very tough fact. Okay. In your cool tone. Um, my cool. My cool thrown CT. Oh,

good. Bad to to a. Oh, oh, I think Drewski skit. No, we could joke about CT now. It's finally been

long enough. Yeah, since he touched a truth. Uh, to a posted an Instagram that he said, he like, just bunch of, you know, pictures with him from the preseason where in the Falcon series, he standard centered in Instagram posts. And he's captured it for the A. And then he left a comment from his same account. We're so proud of you. You got this. Yeah. So he's talked to us talking in the third person. But he got some people are proud of him, including Tua. Yeah. He is proud of himself. It's very proud of himself.

Yeah. What's wrong with gas yourself up? Self-confidence. You are the man. Skip. Yeah. Yeah, man. Skip. I love the show on F. S. One. Yeah. If you read any sports psychologists, they tell you

“that that visualization and important self-talk is actually like the key to unlocking a next”

level of performance. So maybe two is just showing himself some love on this one. But it's like, not self-talk because it's like third person talk. He's a man. He's a man. Come on to where show proud of you. Yeah. Oh, yes. Multiple people that are so proud. I don't know. So yeah, CT. Yeah, that's tough. That's tough to explain when players fuck up. I got, uh, I got an idea. Why not Joe Milton on the Falcons? Joe Milton just got wave by the Cowboys. Yep. Why not Joe

Milton on the Falcons? Why not Joe Milton on the Browns? He's not a lefty. That's a good counterpoint. That's a great counterpoint. Yeah. Joe Milton on the Browns would be good. It'd be very fun. Yeah. I can't believe he cleared waiver. I think he cleared waivers. I didn't see anybody put in a claim for him this morning. But it's a gift Joe Milton at home, guys. Come on. Also, I don't know if

“you had this one. If you didn't earn it, but two podcasts. I did not have that. Yeah, what happened?”

He, his murder was finally convicted. Stories pretty funny. Sounds hilarious. Most more murder stories are funny. Can't wait to hear this rib tickler. Well, it's just classic 20, 26 or this, you know, 20, 20, 20s. He, I guess he did a police like some type of like Queens agreement. They call it where he like kind of admitted this like they they said like if you talk about this like you can't get convicted. Queen for a day. Queen for a day. Bring somebody in and they say no matter what you say,

we're not going to use that to charge you with any crime. If you tell us the truth about things that are going on. So that happened. He admitted it. Obviously, Queen for a day. However, that works. He didn't get, he didn't get charged or rested. Then a few years ago, he wrote a book essentially saying it. He kind of penned it on someone else. And then he did a bunch of podcasts promoting the book. And so the lawyers were able to use all of the podcasts as evidence to

convict him for murder. I'd like to say. If any lawyers or jury members are listening to this podcast, nothing we say can be held against you in court of law. We're all Queens on this podcast. Queen for a lifetime on the show. Mm-hmm. Okay. Good hot sea cool drone Hank. We did, we did deliver.

Good job, Hank. Always. Um, Mike's not after Frank Elliott. Yeah. Can't do that. Can't fall.

My hot seat is chicks. Oh, chicks on the hot seat. Um, a good friend Kirk Herb Street went on a podcast, Boston with the boys. And, uh, he was telling a story about him and his wife and how they conceived. And, um, they, I guess he wanted sons every time. Yeah. And he read something

“online that said that male sperm swim faster. I don't know if that's how it works. But, uh, his wife”

was a gymnast. He said when we got done with the deed, uh, she would do a handstand. She would go up on the bed and do a handstand to try to get boys. And now they're four for four on having boys. So, uh, number one, this is a weird thing to to share on a podcast, I guess. I would say very weird. And I like Kirk Herb Street's front of our program. I, I don't really need to see how the visual of Kirk Herb Street, like finishing and then his wife immediately going into a handstand.

Yeah. She, like puts the chalk on her hands, yeah, gets upside down and just balances for a while. I also, like, they, I guess, really both wanted boys. Yeah. Girls are, I have a daughter. It's pretty fucking awesome. Yeah. I just, I know I'm imagining Kirk Herb Street. Well, you got to try it out the other way. What do you mean? See, if you can hit a, hit on a girl. Like, do a stand-up?

Squat or something? Just stand up straight. Yeah. Walk around afterwards. I always thought that

the position that you had sex and determined the gender of the child. And yeah, doggy style that's twins. I also, like, I know this is going to sound stupid, but, uh, Kirk Herb Street, like, you're,

living room multiple times a week. Like, I don't need this. You know, I don't, I don't want my

“announcer's fucking. You're above us. Yeah. You are. You are above us. You're, you're, you're, you're”

pristine. Right. You, yeah, you exist on a level, like, you don't, you don't, you don't poop. Right. You don't fart. You don't, maybe sometimes you pee if it's, like, a long marathon game. Uh, but, yeah, our announcer's, I, I agree with you. I don't like to picture them having sex. No. I like to picture them just walking the field with their dog. Well, yeah, now I'm thinking, like, I'm imagining Kurt, like, shaking his dog upside down so he can get, get another Peter for a few years. Yeah.

Anyways, that's kind of weird. Kurt. Yep. I'm bustin' with a boys. All right. And then, my cool throne is being hockey tough and baseball. Uh-huh. This is kind of a cool story, uh, that happened. So, the nationals have a, uh, a new closer that they brought up and, uh, his name's Eric Toman.

And the story of him is, it's pretty nuts. So he just got called up, got his first say if the

other night in Major League Baseball. So he was a junior at Arizona State and he tore his ACL. I'm sorry. He's UCL. I'm sorry. He got Tommy John Surgery in 2021. 14 months later, his elbow pops again. He has Tommy John Surgery in 2022. So then he rehabs a second time, gets back on the mound. He's pitching in single-a-fredder expert. And he's a, he's a superstitious guy. Like a lot of pictures tend to be. He tries to hop over the foul line when he's jogging off

the mound and his cleat gets caught in the turf. He had a torn ACL, a torn PCL, a torn LCL, the hamstring and the calf tore off the bone, dislocated his leg. The perennial nerve in his foot got ruptured. Uh, so his, his foot got paralyzed. And, uh, it was lucky that it happened to his, uh,

“I think it happened to his right leg, not his left and if vice versa, it happened, he wouldn't be able”

to pitch anymore. Yeah. But basically it was the most catastrophic injury that you've ever heard of

in your life because he tried to jump over the foul line. Yeah. And then after that, he had to learn how to walk again because his foot was pretty much paralyzed. He had to, uh, pitch with a brace. And then finally, he got back to, uh, to the majors on August 22nd, had a scoreless ending and then, uh, a couple days later, um, they put him in basis loaded situation in the eighth inning, uh, and then got out of the inning, no runs and then came back to the ninth and got to save. Nice. Pretty cool

story. Yeah. But like also a bizarre injury to have to battle back for a very bizarre, um, so that's pretty cool. And then my other cool throne is, uh, just, I guess, optical illusions because did you hear about the, the island that has been spotted? I saw, I saw, I scroll past it. Okay. There is a, um, there's an island that might not exist, but it also might exist. Okay. At the same time, it's in Canada. It's in like British Columbia. It's about a hundred kilometers from this place

called the Bennett Dam. Mm-hmm. And on July 21st, they had a clear image of it on satellite. It is about the, the size of two NFL football fields. I like how they put it in, in those terms for us. Yeah. Wait. CFL though? No. It's actually the headline I saw said it's about the size of one Canadian football field are two NFL football field. Got it. Um, which is very helpful for us more ones that don't understand math, uh, without a football analogy. So they had a picture of it on July

21st on satellite image and then on August 5th, it disappeared from satellite images. And it's got trees and shin on it. It looks like fully grown. Yes. It looks like a full-ass island. It like with, with plants that took root in it. So they're trying to figure out what happened and how it, how it just disappeared. What? Yeah. Okay. So if this is a real story, it's like, I know it's documented, and it's crazy. So do they have an after picture of, it disappearing? I guess the after picture would

just be water empty water. Do they just lose it? They lose where it is. They might have just forgotten. Yeah. Where exactly is it? So here's a satellite. So you can see it out there. Oh, that's crazy. And then it's gone. And I don't know what the explanation for this is. The island was actually a massive floating raft of vegetation and driftwood that detached from the shoreline due to high water levels. It did not sink, but likely drifted into a sheltered area along the

reservoirs edge. So this is a piece of land that broke off the drift and then floated and then after floating for a while, it got broken up by wave or it floated back to somewhere close to

“shore. Is it this how people think that like humans got to America to begin with?”

Oh, that was panjia. Like there were a bunch of like apes on an island and then that island floated across the world. And I thought it was Russia, the pros and over, we connected. There was a land

size could break off. Yeah. And then disappeared. That is nuts. Okay. Someone needs to get to the bottom

of this. I would I would drive myself insane if I saw that island and then I went back and I was like the island's gone. Yeah. Where the fuck did it go? Everything kind of reminds me of the the commander's 2025 season. I swear to God there was a beautiful island here. And now it's gone. Okay, my hot seat. I got a couple is PFT. Oh, because Barsal signed an op. Yeah. Barsal signed an op to PFT. A direct op to PFT. I don't want to hear this is PFT. I don't understand. I heard him.

He was like talking to the studio and the door was open and I heard PFT crying to memes for no one. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I did not cry. So all right. So backup backup. We have a new social guy who is one of God. One of many. One of many

who got hired for the main account and his previous handle, which I guess he'll keep running because a lot of

guys when we signed social guys like memes, for example, he had part of my memes. Liam Blutman had no context college football. Yeah. These guys who proved that they can do something on a social media on social media app. And then we hire them. They get to keep the one that they had, but they're now working for us. This guy happens to be the account Drake May lover. Yeah. And he's perfect, by the way, because I had a brief conversation with them. I said, I walked out to him. I was like, are you a freak? And he was like,

yeah, and I was like, did you go to college? He's like, for one class. He's like, you're perfect. Yeah. That's exactly what we want our social media guy to be. But yeah, he is a direct op to you. PFT because

“yeah, you guys are going to be at a war. I mean, just to get it. How is he a direct op to you?”

Well, PFT was a was a Drake May hate or a candid machine. I was sure. I was rooting for Drake. You actually were probably more Drake May facts. Yeah, Drake. I was Drake May facts. So if the facts don't care about your lovers. I met the kid earlier. It seems like a very nice guy.

I'm sure we'll get along fine. It does feel slightly targeted. I am glad that Parson sports finally

gets a little bit of Boston and Patriot representation. I don't think that we've put out enough propaganda. So I think it does fill a hole. I understand why that hire was made. Kids obviously very good at his job. He's it's a funny account. I've seen it all over the place for the last couple of seasons. And he is a talented social media guy. No doubt about that. This is, it does feel like I don't. I don't expect there to be a lot of fair and balanced

NFL takes coming out regarding certain teams and certain players that might be seen as rivals of Drake May or the New England Patriots. Do you understand where you work? Drake may love or though is in house. This is like when I found out Mike Phil runs the Count PCA Hader.

“It's, it does you really. I don't think so, but I think so. If you look at the history of”

the Parson sports main account. Yeah. Gas? Yeah. Holy Mac. Yeah. It's a Boston company. Drake may love for. Yeah. Yeah. It's a hard corner of the history. It's none of us but not here. Drake may love for course sports when exists if it wasn't for the Patriots. We should all. Drake may stand. Yeah. Drake may love her. Yeah. Not like Drake may go. It's Drake may love her. I did reach out to the Barsal Sports Head of Social for Common. This would be gas. And he said

he has no one to blame, but himself fuck around to find out. Oh, this is about PFT. Yeah. Okay. So, so this was a direct shot where I wore now. Yeah. This was a direct shot against you for your actions in the previous season. We saw where I wore. Yeah. This is, this is what gas. Gas was like, oh PFT spout off. I know what we'll do. Counter move. Yeah. Drake may love her. Well, gas has, he's got two moves. One is higher a hot chick and then the other is higher

Patriots propaganda. And so this A button or the gun does this far. It has. Listen, they're good. They're good moves. Don't get me wrong. But he's got, he's that mean. Where he's sweating with the two buttons. Yeah. I mean, if he could ever find one that would be both. Oh, God. Like sound. Forget about it. She didn't up taking over the entire company one day. But yeah, listen, I love gas, but we're at war. This is declaration of war. Yeah. You've been open hostilities right now.

“I think you're not even, and me, and I know, I know another guy that has an army that could go”

after a guy like Paul Paul. I know, and maybe what? Just good luck with what? That army. Yeah, and listening that army. I'm just saying I listen. I know where army you're talking about. That army is they only serve one master. They don't really get, they don't care about anything. Oh, I'm not, I'm not pretending that they would serve me. I'm just saying now we have a common enemy. Yeah. And so maybe, you know, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. And in times of war,

you know, we're at allies come together sometimes. You get in a battle with the riders side by

We got other things to do. I think as long as I listen, me and Rico are on great terms now,

I actually never think we could have been closer. All right. My other hot seats is

pitchers pitching against the cubs because the cubs just keep hitting home runs. They have the most home runs in in Major League Baseball. They hit, I think it was nine. Was it nine the other night on Monday night? It was insane. It was just a yabbo fest. We also have Alex Braggman and Peacorm, strong both had. They have 17 home runs and 16 home runs since July 11th, respectively. They both had over 12 home runs in the month of August. So the cubs just keep

mashing. And then my cool throne is players batting against the cubs because the cubs, while they got the most home runs in MLB, they also last night or two nights ago tied the A's for giving up the most home runs. Wow. Yeah, that's been quite an experience. Quite an experience. So yeah, and they tied the A's, the A's play in a band box, which is like, I think high altitude, you know,

“humid in Sacramento. So yeah, if you want, if you want to explain exactly what the cubs”

season has been and the ups and downs, they have given up the most home runs and they have hit the most home runs and they have the leader, the presumptive favorite in NL MVP and they're still 7 games behind the brewers. That's pretty much sums it all up. Yeah, that is crazy. It's just up down, up, down, up, down. In fact, the brewers just just keep dominating. It's just so pretty well. What do you guys think? And obviously this could all be irrelevant because Tuesday night,

we're taping this on Tuesday and they play again Tuesday night. But what did you guys think? There was some discourse going on. Pat Murphy, the brewers manager put in a position picture in the seventh inning last night. I wonder. And how much was the, was the run difference? I think it was like, I think it was nine at the time, which the wind was blowing out and it's like,

you never know what could happen. Well, I'm going to look up exact score. But it did feel a little early.

I think they should, I actually was thinking too because people were complaining about it and I get it. Like, you just, you're, you're in a four game series. I get your rival. You've got to, you've got to try to save bullpen arms at the time that he came in. It was nine to three. So actually, not, I mean, that's, that's six runs. Yeah, you know, it's not the most competitive thing to do, but I understand it. I get it. It's a power. And I think it's kind of a smart move at a four game series.

“And this is, you know, the next team up in the division. You just need to, you need to hold on until”

the end of September. Yeah. So I get it. It's not. Yeah. Andrew Vaughn came in. He gave up nine hits, two runs, uh, pitch or two innings, pitch, nine hits, seven earned runs. It's enough red meat to like,

all the old school, like baseball guys. I would be like, this is a bullshit. We never wanted

to done this when I played. What at the end of the day, I do think it's probably the smart move. Yeah. Dumb rule. I think that a team, the minute you throw in a position player, I think a team should use, uh, a, a position, like, why, why couldn't the clubs in that situation? You auctioned off preseason to a random fan who gets to then play the outfield. Like, when it's 17, when it's 17 to three in the top of the night, the emergency going in hockey, but think about how much like a rich guy

would pay to be like, hey, you're going to get to come in. Yeah. You're, you're going to play an inning at rigley field with a full crowd in a win. You get celebrate after going to clubhouse. Some would pay millions of dollars. Then you use that for next year's salary. That's not a bad idea.

“Or if you are a manager, and you're, if you want to put a position player in in the seventh”

inning or earlier, you can do it. They just have to wear a little clown nose. I like that. I like that. Like if they have a clown nose, maybe, maybe, maybe pitch on a tricycle. Yes, some big shoes. It wasn't said the bullping work. They have to go out on a tricycle. Make it Savannah ball. Yeah, make what they just have to admit that this is, you've turned it into a clown show. So you embrace it. If you're comfortable being, being a laughing stock for that game,

that's fine. But yeah, ultimately, I think it's probably the smart move, but it does suck. Yeah, I don't, I, I can't get like super upset about it. There are some people who are like, this is an absolute joke. It's like, I mean, I don't know, every team, every team does it in the course of a season. It's a long fucking season. Seventh inning, though, is early. It's very early. That's a lot. I mean, obviously, was the, the country at home. So it was only two innings, but

seventh inning feels very early. Uh, all right. My other cool throwing is Zach, because, oh, boy, I think he's going on a date with Rudy from bad friends. Yeah. She seemed into it. She seemed into it. She said, she said, she said, he's got great eyes. Yeah. So for people who missed it, uh, our good friend Andrew Santino, he was flying back with us from the internet invitational and Zach was sitting across from him. Zach is a big bad friend's fan. Zach got out

of the car and was coming back with Max and Zach told Max, I was the whole time I was wanting

ask, um, unfortunately, Max then told me and I made it. I brought it up on the show because I was like, hey, let's, let's get this couple together. We talked about it on our show, bad friends and

“talks about on their show. I think Zach you're in. Uh, that is true. We did talk here. They talked”

there. Uh, some things were said. I think it's, uh, yeah, I think there's opportunity for a date there. She seems into, she said she said she said she was in maybe, maybe to do a date. Um, one thing you guys have in common, she said she's not much of a, uh, cold weather city person. I'm also kind of out on the cold. Yes. So you would hurt. Just, you know, you know, how to stay warm in the winter. We just migrate, right? Yeah. We play the end of the clip where she's agreeing to

it. I think she kind of agreed. Yeah. Um, yeah. There's no one to know. It's, uh, it's up in the air right now.

You never know. She, she was kind of put on this. It was actually perfect because she was dead on the spot.

Almost identical to when Zach was put on the spot. Mm-hmm. Nobody deserves a kind of heat. I felt terrible. But hey, this is like Bob Knight, common enemy. You can go on a date with Rudy and you could be like, hey, big cap, PFT, Bobby, Andrew. Aren't those guys such assholes for making us do this? Um, um, um, oh, I love you. I love you. I love you. It's like common ground. Yeah. Right. You have something, the, the first conversation would be so easy being like, those guys have real dickheads.

Mm-hmm. I can't believe we're doing it. What a nice break. Yeah. All right. Play the end of it. She's, she's, she's what I feel. He's a really nice kid. I met him. So, uncrustables. You like them. I don't even know that. There's an uncrustable in the house. She ate them on the bird pod when those guys came on the show. That's right. That's right.

“She ate like six on camera. Okay. So here's Zach right there. Um, would you go on a date with Zach?”

Perhaps Rudy? Um, he, I like his eyes. Yeah. That's a good start. That's there at being blue is what I call it. Are you interested in maybe going on a date with this man? If we set this up, the guy in love, he's got a big, big crush on you. He was too shy to say it to me when I met him. But now we know the truth. Maybe what does he do it? He's a producer for that show for part of my take. He's a, he's a producer and he's very good at job. Unlike the producers that we

have on this show. I don't have an idea. You like the ham and cheese and crustable idea. Yeah. So this is something we can move forward on. Perhaps if we can get a merging of maybe, where does he live this guy? Chicago. It's not going to work. I think it is. She doesn't like winter. We'll travel for love is what Zach said. Okay. So that's him on the right. Cool guy. Cool guy. Press as well. Good style, smart, sweet, funny. Yeah. Very funny guy. So what do we think?

Rudy, can we maybe do a date? Yeah, maybe. We love Zach very much. He's the man. And maybe we'll set up a little date for you guys because you might like him. His style is cool. So is that a yes? Yeah. Oh. That's yes. We spoke with our friends. All right. So we're good. We're good. That was yeah. Maybe yes. I do want to say, uh, kind of works manager. Great gas manager. I really appreciate it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Zach, um, so you used to have a new

crustables puncher, right? Call it you a great producer. Great producer. We'll take that gas. What? What kind guy? Yeah. Um, so you used to have an unquestable puncher thing. That's kind of spring loaded. So think of like a stamp almost. Like one of a stamps that flip. You just kind of chitching and then it punches it out. Sometimes you

got to give it a second punch, but we're pretty good. I do think that would be a good, like, a fun

first date somewhere. Just be a Christmas. Yeah. Maybe go to the kitchen here. And you can, you know,

“if you want to, you can record some of them, but do like, uh, make your own new types of uncrustables”

contact. Just kind of wild with the uncrust. So what do you like, I don't hate that movie? Here me out. What about like a mick riddle. Uncrustable. Oh, like a hot sandwich. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What's the next step here? So we will be in LA for the Super Bowl. But I feel like that's too far from now. Do you want us to fly you out to LA? Do you want me to see if Santino has any plans to come to Chicago? I don't want to see for all out of his skin and die. Oh. Okay. No, I didn't.

So after you put that after you, after you met a more, more, more, more, more, more facials. Yeah. Uh, as a snake. What would you like to do? Uh, yeah. I think Super Bowl comes up pretty quick or maybe like maybe force your bull. She's open to that. Uh, yeah, yeah, to moving target right now, you know. Yeah. I got to pin that down. Okay. Tell me. Let's start to pin it down. I'm going to put the best of calendars. I'll show you guys straight. But

wait, I just asked you to print up a calendar for me like an hour ago. I can make two calendars. Not a big calendar. I'm not good. I can definitely produce two calendars for your 50. Okay. Can you produce? Uh, if you kids want it, you know, Wizards tickets, uh, court side. Might be a great first date. Oh. Send you guys to the nation's capital.

Incredible feet on the wood. Right behind Trey Young and Anthony Davis. But I does know the capital.

How do they get to you there? That or maybe maybe is Sunday in the gambling cave. She seems like she would love that. Maybe we could maybe go somewhere else before the gambling cave. Okay. Uh, yeah, but that was, uh, maybe a date. Maybe a date. I think it's a date. I think we just got to figure out when if there's a potential for the bad friend showed to be here in Chicago at any point. And if not, we'll just get you a plane ticket to LA. Okay. We'll see how it goes. Okay.

Look, if, if there's a date, uh, looking forward to it. Yeah. Great. Uh, you're hot sea cool to our exact. Uh, my hot sea, my hot, sorry. My hot sea this week is a, maybe Terry Scooble.

espresso machine? Yeah. Yeah. What do we think? I have, uh, I've got a couple of thoughts. He's took an espresso machine. So Scooble bought an espresso machine for the clubhouse. Got traded. Took the espresso machine. That stuff. Yeah. It is. It is. Uh, if I don't

“want to say bad guy move, my thought was maybe it was a gift. That's the only way I can see this”

being a piece. If somebody so rich, if somebody gets you it as a gift and you bring it in, and then you're leaving and you're like, I, I don't want to leave that behind because it was a gift from somebody. That maybe might be a good, but otherwise, I mean, you got to say he bought it. He said his wife made him take it back. You got it. And I said, I, I, I, he said, I'll wear it. I'll wear the fact that this is a bad bad guy move. They got, so he's, he's standing up to it.

They got coffee in Los Angeles. You can buy a coffee maker there. Yeah. He could afford another one. But also the Tigers can too. Did he like, did he send somebody in to like repossess it? Or did he go, because the only way would be okay is if he went in there, grabbed it off the shelf and then walked out the front door with his coffee machine. Yeah. I think there's plausible deniability if someone else just grabbed it when scooping up a

stuff. He's scuba said I wanted to leave it and get a new one, but she wouldn't let me my wife wanted me to take it. Good fall guy move by, by school's wife. It's a really good fall guy move.

“Yeah, I think you got to buy, I think you can take it and then just buy maybe not the same as”

espresso machine, but a espresso machine, you know what I mean? Or maybe the same one. Yeah,

or they even same one. They probably made two of them. Yeah. You never know. That's, yeah,

it's a weird move. It's also kind of a funny move to be like, see you guys. He must be talking. With his espresso machine under his arm, he must have really liked that coffee that it made. Yeah. Okay. And then your cool throne. My cool throne this week is going to be most nations because who a lot of guys believe is maybe the best soccer player of all time has decided to retire from international play.

Ah, Leonardo Messi has retired from international play. You, you specifically Zach are on the cool throne now because you don't have to watch him just dominate in your face when we're in all those scores of gold and who's Becca Stan and says he's back. I would be included in most nations, yes. Yes, you are Americans are. I would say you're the, you're the most nation of this. Hey, look, we're all in my half one more in him.

I hope he does. Club coaches come. I would. We want to see if all apart. I just want to see him. He would have tried the world cups hosted in Portugal. I want to see him

trying to make it all about himself and fails. He would never fall apart. I have four years to grow

from this. No. Yeah. He will grow. I don't know if he's going to grow anymore. He's or think emotionally. He's done growing. Um, but yeah, thank you. Thank you, Lionel. What a great, what a great career it was. And two coba Americas when woke up beautiful thing for the country. Yeah. He wrote, uh, he went handwritten on the note on Instagram. Did he? Yeah, he said he, uh,

“he made this all sort of tire one one time before from Argentina. I believe so for America. Yeah.”

So he might come back like Jordan did it. I think he said this time there was more permanent, uh, he wrote the letters two days after the World Cup final. And then I guess earlier in August, his dad did them for his past away. And he's like that kind of cemented it for my ham. My time here's done. So I'm just saying Jordan came back twice. We'll be cool. He probably would be so sick. Unfortunately, he'd be so good. Still. Yeah. And we'd of course you'd be so yeah.

He just doesn't this world. This is all part of my master plan when we hired coach, he's Argentinian, convinced Messi to retire from Argentina. He already works in the United States.

Just give him citizenship. Yeah. And then half him played for the U.S. in 2030. Yeah. But he could never

return home if that was the case. There's no way. There would be riots in the streets. No. No. He could return home. Or if he was pretty good at hiding people. Yeah. If he threw on the red red balloon. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They could, he'd go off to a village somewhere and change his name. Age 95 swimming in a beautiful lake of a heart attack. Yeah. What's your motto? Yeah. Okay. Good. Good. How to see cool throw on. Do you have it? Do you have anything else? That's good.

Also, just a couple. The coach of Clay Holmes is throwing cartoon pages. Those were cool. Dude, Clay Holmes. That's a lot of movement on those pages. It's crazy. The cups are in a spot where I dig our starting rotation. If we get to the playoffs, it's going to be all guys we just traded for. So that speaks to the the stat of giving up the most home runs. Clay Holmes has been awesome. I wonder if that's ever happened? Right now. I mean, I would go

heavier or sad three, but you could very well make the case that it should be Clay Holmes. One got us into Peterson three because no one else can be trusted. The trust tree has gotten as small as possible when it comes to the cups pitching. Okay. Let's do our Mount Rushmore. It is brought to

Reese's. They're the one one pick of candy. I actually had some Reese's sticks last night. They're

so good. We have the Reese's lounge upstairs. I brought my kids in on Sunday to hang out in the office. They were like, can we go to the Reese's lounge? Like, absolutely. We can. They had a great time. They are the best candy of all time. The Reese's peanut butter cups. That is the goat candy. That is the one one. That is the New York next of candy. That is the Carolina Hurricanes of Candy. They are the undisputed heavyweight champion of candy. Reese's the official candy partner,

barcel sports go to go get Reese's wherever you shop and you can never go wrong with the Reese's. Okay, boys. It is Mount Rushmore time. Zack is now one point behind Hank. If Zack can win this Mount Rushmore today, we will have a duel on Friday, a finale duel where we will do three Mount Rushmore spur of the moment off the dome. Boy, would that be awesome for the AWS, right? PFT? It would

be incredible. I think I'm always thinking of the listeners first and foremost. Right. But the only

way that can happen is if Zack wins this Mount Rushmore. That is true. Yes. That is the only way that we can get there. That is the only way. That duel is amazing. I have a great time doing

“against Hank. It is always fun. I think the listeners really like him. Yeah. When do you agree, Hank?”

I would. Yeah. So, are you surprised with the voting? Because you kind of called, you kind of put up your finger and walked off on Sunday night. You are like, I got this. I thought I had it. Yeah. I think death. I underestimated death and Max. Who's that? Max. Hold on. No. Max Delante or former producer. You wonder how I may not come back. How how fat he was or how it's given me. How heavy he was. You guys all agree like the the gifts that Max brings back have to blow us away for a two-week

vacation. He's not bringing back his. He is bringing back gifts and he actually needs to bring me in espresso machine because you can't go away for two weeks and come back with like, you know, Shane's little bobbleheads and shit and like, oh, here's a, here's a fucking, here's a shot glass. No fan Shane. Sorry. I forgot your sitting right there. I love my bobbleheads by the way.

“Yeah, bolt up the right. Oh, shit. Where are they? I think you smashed them. Oh, no. I think you”

took. Oh, no, no. There's one of them. There's a, did you throw them off the roof the other day? No. Where's my golf cart? Oh, this, did you get me the Shane? Yeah. Yeah. All right. This, this is cool. Where's the Pope? I don't, where's the golf. Oh, the golf cart is up there. Where? Where's the Pope? There's a big down. Where's the? Oh, my god. The Pope's head fell off. Yeah, the Pope. They didn't fall off. Yes, it didn't have some added. No, no, no. I, I didn't like intentionally break it. I tried to pump him into the back. He's a white socks fan.

A lot of people are talking about. Oh, it's white socks. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Last Pope. It was the last of the last Pope. Oh, yeah. Yeah. The last Pope. Okay. Mount Rushmore of household items.

You could use as a weapon. Henry, you were up first. A steak knife. Okay. That's a really good

form. I didn't even think about that. I didn't even think about that. Super sharp. I didn't even think about that. I double up here, correct? Yeah. I would like to take a baseball bat and I would also take a nail gun. Okay. Okay. Baseball bat is the nail gun. That's a good old nail guns. Uh, I do. I own it.

“I do own a nail. Yeah. Yeah. I think I don't fucking run. I will buy a nail gun by the time this podcast”

comes out so that I could. You got a nail. Correct. Anyone on the booth have a nail gun? Uh, yeah. Meme says. Meme's remember when I'm trying to think I used your nail gun. But I don't think I know. You're not, wait, you're not sure if you have a nail gun or not, Meme's no. You don't. Yeah. Then you don't. Snoop. So this is from the wire. Yeah. You have a nail gun. I got staple gun. It is a good weapon though. If you have one. It is. Also baseball bat is just, that's a brutal one. Do you have baseball

bat now, Zach? Yeah. Sock over it. Why? Because you catch it, you know, it's swing. What? They catch it, you get another swing. Oh, that comes out. So GPS. You double up. Holy fuck. That's actually brilliant. That's so brilliant. So you just have a long sock over your baby bat. Oh, yeah, because they grab it and then you just, what about double sock? Well, that's when they say they break. Yeah, that's true. So the gun comes out. Damn, Zach. That is so, so, okay.

nail gun and baseball bat. Those are pretty good weapons in your house. Uh, my next one thinking like Tom and Jerry will go frying pan. Oh, okay. Yeah. Good one. Good pick. Like cast iron. Yep. Pretty heavy. Yep. That's a really good pick. Brain somebody with that. Yeah. And this one's more like, like fighting, like fighting with your brother, like fighting with your sibling.

Yeah. It's like annoying. Like, I've gotten hit by a TV remote off throwing a TV remote. Like,

it's a, or even if like accidentally, like you like, hey, throw me the remote and hit you in the face, like that hurts. A great. Hank, what would you say that people out there that would say that the TV remote in this draft would be like taking a single hornet? I would disagree. A kind of annoying, but actually won't get the job done. I mean, at least a household item is what I would say. Yeah. It is. I could have used, yeah, like a jack. I use a nail gun in a TV remote about the same amount

of times. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I'm going to take clothes line. Okay. All right. Yep. Like the, the thing in the backyard. Yeah. That's a great pick. That's a great pick. I think about it.

“So we don't go outside. We just go inside. Hang on to dry, but also if you need to a little quick”

who, you know, or just run them pat, like, hey, oh, you're going to chase me. I'm going to run and

dock under the clothes line. That's how Bryson to Shambon most losses career. We've lost him home alone. Yeah. Yeah. He quick run that way. Yeah. And then next thing you know, if it's tight enough, take your head right off. Yeah. Or you didn't think of that, Hank. You don't want the kids to wake up. You know, it was not my last. Oh, yeah. This stealth. Yeah. Good point. It's a Smith actually. Wow, Hank, you're blowing this. I think you're right, pick. Listen, if you looked up,

exact subject here, if you looked up, how many deaths per year were caused by a clothes line as opposed to a remote. I think clothes line. Why are you laughing in Zach's face? Yeah. Why is he laughing, Zach? Shane looked at his phone and started laughing. Zach, do you think that PFCI, hyping you up to this point might be having the unintended effect of people might be able to pick up on our sarcasm on clothes. I was good pick. Yes. Okay. All right. So we'll dial it down a little.

Decent pick. I think you probably can get in the fourth. I got to be more decisive on the list. Maybe a little bit of a little bit of a reach. Yeah. You got another one. All right. All right. I'm going to take. I'm going to. All right. Fine. I'm going to take bleach. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Poison. Yeah. No, that's good. It's rolling at someone. Yeah. We catch a bleach cup to the face. No, I don't. That actually is a good pick. That clothes line was dog shit. Mm-hmm. If you close on that pick,

if you threw bleach in someone's eyes, you would fuck them up. Pretty bad. I just looked at up online on average 11 people die per year on clothes lines. How many do you look up TV remote? Okay. Most of clothes line deaths are keeping quiet. Uh-huh. Yeah. Uh-huh. Because it's the it's the silent killer. TV remote's got to be lower than that. Bleach is a good one. Yeah. Bleach is a good one. Yeah. Bleach is a good one. I have a spray bottle.

Yeah. Oh, what? Spray bleach. Yeah. Two. Yeah. You fuck someone up. That fuck someone up. You got to clean. No, and to clean. Oh, okay. You spray in the right. Yeah. All right. Okay.

“Really the only way that people die from remotes is if you eat the batteries out of them.”

Mm-hmm. So you would have to have someone come into your house. So batteries might be better. And you have to convince them that the room TV remote batteries are delicious. And then you could hope to survive. But like think about it, Big Cat. Someone breaks in your house. You're obviously lying on the couch. You might only have the TV remote's the most successful things. I'm lying

on the couch. Someone breaks in my house. Boom. First thing happens. They hit the clothes line.

Bang. Next thing happens. Nail gun in the face. You actually tie it up. Tie the clothes line up to a nail gun trigger. Yeah. So it's like a booby truck. Oh, you tried to, oh, you got up after the nail gun in the clothes line. You ran it me. Oh, look. You just slipped on bleach. Mm-hmm. Zach literally is just Kevin McCowster in this. Dude, he held down the house, held it down. Hell the Don. All right. Well, that's pick.

All gives Zach a chance. Zach's down, right? Yeah. He's done with his picks. I could just take fork. That would obviously do the trick. You could kill someone with a fork. But I will take can of soup. Oh. Okay. Yeah. Okay. You have me. Not a bad one. I was surprised. All right. So good Mount Rushmore. I was surprised. Hammer? Hammer feels like that would be a good pick. I was going to say also, um, pot of hot coffee. Mm-hmm. Yep. Might be a good one. Yep. Uh, what about a chair?

Throw a chair at someone. Mm-hmm. Feels good. What Zach? You got some honorable men with a car keys.

“Car keys. Okay. That's what you're knowing. Maybe just, maybe just your car. Actually,”

car keys might be a genius one because like grass knuckles move. No, I was saying like you just throw your car keys and they're like, "All right, I can just steal your car now." Oh, it's not a cake. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you so much. I came for the car and you just handed it to me. We think about frozen food.

they, you know, like maybe a timeahawk steak. If we got like pound of ground beef down there,

it's been there in probably six months. Hard as a rock. Yeah. Uh, Legos. Yeah. Screwed about? Yeah. That will fuck any, any person up. Pretty bad.

“Um, what about fireplace poker? That's what I was about to say right now. Yeah. I just saw the staircase”

reason. I didn't have one. So I didn't, I didn't take it, but that, that is probably the best one. It's a classic one. I would also say lamp crowbar lamps a good one lamp. You just, yeah, hit somebody in the head with it. Uh, yeah, candle holder. It's not really a, uh, plate spoon plate spoon. Uh, spoon. Oh, yeah. What's the thing? Putting some of that. Yeah. Good point things. I got to remember me and memes. We're, we're also allies now. Yeah. We've got an online war. We need to fight

together memes. The rolling pin. Yeah. We should get someone biased against the Patriots to run our sources. That's what we need. Good point. Okay. My account says unbiased. It doesn't say, it doesn't say jets lover. Yeah. Yeah. Gino Smith lover. That would be very concerned. Yes. Um, this is more, not a household item, but like a on-person item, but I, I feel like I could win most fights if you just let me get my belt off. Like whipping someone would hurt so bad. It also be very masculinity.

Yeah. Yes. That too. Right. If like, if you got into a fight and the students start just hitting you with his belt. If you just whipped you, literal belt to ask, yeah, you become, you become, he's your daddy at that point. Mm-hmm. Also thinking of like the George Bush Club just like a

“shoe or a boot. Yeah. I think that's most likely what you'd end up throwing is something like that”

in panic. Mm-hmm. Are you going to take your remote out to try to hit pause and see if they stopped? Yeah. Zach, you didn't want to pick uh, like your gun? Well, I had gun in nightstand. Yeah. I didn't take it. Yeah. That is a household item. Yeah. What else do you have in your list, Zach? Uh, yeah. If I play Stoke, we talked that. That was better than close on. Uh, we talked car keys, we talked the gun. Mm-hmm. That was pretty much it. Yeah. I cut by deleted just because

they didn't. What did you delete them? What did you delete? Uh, what do we think about pretty much anything you could drown somebody in? Like a bath tub. I filled up the bathtub. Yes. Slowly filling up the bathtub, then drowning them. Or like if you keep it filled at all times. Don't just, if that's your drowning tub. Yeah. Or okay. It's like the water goes out and you've got

gallons of clean water right here. Yeah. PFT and I, we always talk about if someone came into

our house, what we would do is we would, uh, we just hit the sauna and just lock them in there. Brutally, you know how. Are they, are they get like stronger beyond belief because of the rejuvenating powers and sauna? Mm-hmm. I also say lie to these items. I don't know if I could

“actually use them as household weapons. Anything you're doing the stabbing on? I think I,”

I don't think I have a chance like with the knives and the forks and stuff. I don't think I, yeah, tough. That's scary stuff. Sizzers. Yeah. Think about how the close combat Sizzers are. I mean, screw driver. Screw driver would be good. Yeah. Screw driver might have been a mess. But Neil Gunn. Neil Gunn's great. And Neil Gunn's a great pick. Great pick. When I, when I used to be left alone, when I was a kid, I don't, my dad would leave me with

a bag of baseballs. And he'd be like, if anybody breaks in, just throw all these baseballs out of them. I used to just build like, uh, with like, little, little, like, not, like, oh blocks, but like, the build, the blocks. I just used to build the little fort and be like, I'm good. I'm safe in here. Yeah. I'm fucking fine. Okay. Good, Mount Rushmore, boys. Uh, let's get to our interview. We got the college football, mega preview with Brandon Walker and Tom Fornelli.

Brandon, you got absolutely dog walk last year by Tom. I destroyed him in the first year. He is the story of you. College football expert. And I apologize Tom because we were at Camp Barstool.

for winning. We have a couple of things. Exactly. You have time out time out time out time out. Not that this is my show. You didn't do anything for me last year. In fact, when I got here as the

raining champ, you said, well, that was for last year. You said that doesn't carry over into this episode.

“Okay. All right. So that's what you said. Yeah. We're staying on for a second because you made”

some good points. Sure. And you are a skilled debater. And so it's in part of a larger college football discussion where you said that maybe you should think about honoring the college football expert. Sure. You won that debate. You made great excellent points. And so we're trying to evolve. And we're trying to take that and consider it. Right. Our role celebrated a little bit. Yeah. So we just have all listen, all we got was a little, a little tiny ribbon that we're going to have Tom cut to

to signify that he won. And just a ribbon. Start the ceremony. This is cutting the ribbon on the 2026 college football season. Yeah, even though we couldn't have already started. All the KWLs he's dedicated to all the WLs. Okay, great. That was awesome. All right. We start the college football season. We can start Tom for Nelly as an expert. I also, well, we got you a ring too. So here's a ring. If you want this is the ring ceremony. That's it, though.

“Um, no, there's a, oh, yeah. There's a card that comes along with it. Okay. If you want to just say what the”

card is. Yeah, sit down in the mic and then you get the card out there. It's just a card in a ring. Yeah. It's a. It's a girl. It says, oh, my God, you did it. It's a fat squirrel. Yeah. It's a fat squirrel. Congrats. Oh, wow, look at this. I got a lot of Chick-fil-A gift cards here. Oh, Jesus Christ is something. This is $300 in Chick-fil-A. I am listening. I'm touched. I'm humbled. I am absolutely thrilled to be the number one college football expert here on part of my take.

But I, I'm also humble. Yeah. And Brandon did get one team out of his 12 into the college. Let's not act like you got to punch yourself. They're, buddy. But I'm going to give you one of my Chick-fil-A gift cards. Hey. Oh, perfect. Oh, I don't know what to take. I don't know what this is. It's, we did get a trophy. So, Tom, if you want to stand and actually look at the camera, we'll take a picture real quick. It's gonna last you with the trophy. Uh, so just don't write that in the camera. Okay.

“All right. There's your confetti. Wow. Wow. That's a incredible picture. I think it was going to be that much.”

Um, yeah. Yeah. So, that's, that's all we, well, no, actually, are you hungry Tom? Because we did, we also got you a cake. Got you a full cake. It says congratulations. P.M.T. College football expert Tom Fernelli. Um, and that and Brandon, that's, Brandon was right. Yeah. Oh, I actually, oh, shoot. I have one last thing here. You want to open that in front of Brandon as well. That's it. That's literally it. No more. It was just the, it was the ribbon, the cake, the ring, the trophy, the

Chick-fil-A, and then just this card. Uh, so, man, let's see if this is. Okay, here. Oh, this looks official for immediate release. Pardon my take. Hereby announces the appointment of Tom Fernelli.

You got, Brandon, you got a little confetti in your hair. Thank you. I wanted to get to that. I want this feeling. Tom, you're a great winner. Yeah. I am definitely winning this money. Yeah, absolutely.

“You're right. It's your money of the best most gracious winners on part of my take. I think you're”

number one. Yeah. Thank you. Congratulations. Oh, for being the best winner. Yeah. Thank you again, Brandon, you said that we didn't do it well last time. So listen, this, you know, I just feel and listen, I don't want to step on the toes of the winner here. I just feel if I had won, you wouldn't be going to this level of pomp and circumstances. You don't know that. It's one correction. Did you win? No. No, I said I didn't. I did not win. You are the, you, you beat me,

uh, by picking teams like Clemson and Michigan and Northwestern and your playoff. I picked, I did not pick Northwestern. Well, you had Missouri bailers. I can't say. I can't say. Oh, look at the, look at the couch. Oh, look at the, look at the couch. Oh, it's perfect. It doesn't even know the logo. Can I, can I say something? Yeah. We're trying trophies in my way. I just saw purple. Yeah. I'll try it. Let me, let me move my giant trophy. No, that is a lot. Yeah. I thought

that was my intro. Put this right here. So Brandon, you feel like there's something between us. Yeah. It's this giant trophy. That's a hell of a trophy. This is this is fucking off. Yeah, I guess it's a big astrophie. Congratulations Tom. Thank you. Is it worth that big of a grandzack? He won so good. He's so good at winning. Did, did you want to look at the ring, too? I'm all right, kiss it, kiss the ring. Who does I have? So, what? Let's see, Brandon, you had Penn

State. No, I'm sure to make it. In order to name, did I make it? Sure to make it. LSU, Texas, Oregon, Boisey. Oh, yeah. Let's say they led your best. That's what man is the right thing. Yeah. Uh, that's Arizona State. Sure. Illinois, Washington. I'm saying those Cardinals. You've really thought you were doing something by picking Illinois, but yeah, you did. That's the worst part. You were mad when I did it. Yeah, I was mad. Well, you two idiots should have just taken JMU, like I was telling you

to and that would have been another one for you. Or in the point, listen, we both have room for improvement. We didn't interact in India and it's not on there. Yeah, there's room for improvement up.

“Those 24 teams, we didn't pick in the out. Yeah. I will say, I think that you should use this as”

motivate. Do you really wearing the ring? Yeah, of course. It's rings. Tell me you've never

won a ring. I tell you you've never won a ring. Oh, that's, listen, Brennan, if Tom got your real ring, if Tom was wearing this ring, walked down the street tomorrow, I'd be like Tom, come on, man. But this is rings ceremony night. Fine. All right. We just, we just debuted the ring. I'm going to be buried in this ring. Yeah. I mean, Brennan's just not using a ring that doesn't monitor cholesterol. So these confuse what he likes. That's what this one does. All right, let's get into

let's get into this. Where we led you to two rings, sir. Who got the MVP last week? All right, let's go. 2025 is in the past Tom congratulation. Thank you. Hopefully we did you, you know, just I feel like you actually won something. I am truly honored. And again, humbled. I can't believe you guys did all this for me, but I appreciate it. It was the least, it was the least we did. We do have me car for you. New Lambo. How many fucking owners have that six people turned it down in the

cars? At timeshare on an upcoming year. All right, let's, let's start with 2026 though. We are, we are on the precipice of week one week zero happened, whatever. Where would you guys like to start? Do you want to start in the SEC, Brandon? Yeah, we can, although I will defer to the rain in champion. Okay, that's fair. All right. Oh, yeah, let's start in the SEC. All right. So I'll let you guys kind of take it away. But my big thought in the SEC is I think people are being, they're not giving

Georgian enough respect. I think Georgia's going to be an old school, like Alabama, bully, ball, type team. And I think Georgia and Texas are clearly the top. And then it's kind of like the big tenants, like who is going to be the three four? Who else is going to crash the party? Go ahead. Well, I want to give these guys a little bit direction here. So we will let's start with the SEC, but they could go, you know, you guys could take it haywire. Sure. Just as a thought starter,

there's the SEC dead. Yes. No. Did the big 10 kill the SEC? The big 10 is the best conference in college football right now. And I think they will probably win their fourth national title with

“the fourth different team this year. But the SEC is going to be there. Oh, yeah, that's what I think.”

Okay. All right. But the Georgian Texas would start there. May I push back on a little bit? Yeah, of course. So I do think you're exactly right about Georgia. I think that defense is going to be back to Georgia standards this year. And the quarterback is is consistently excellent. Doesn't get enough credit.

The playoff game they lost. He was incredible. Made a great place. So I think he's an under

under appreciated guy in college football. I think I pushed back on Texas being the clear number two.

you on Georgia. And this could be like because Georgia is a team that has fallen short the last couple of years, but it's like they also were there. They, you know, they got injured against Notre Dame. That's right. They hit a unbelievable quarterback in Trinidad, Chambles, who's on an all-time hot streak. Yeah. Like Georgia is falling off. But let's be honest. It's hard to win every. They're still in the mix. They're still very much in the mix. And the reason I push back on Texas

says, I just don't like the the the the whispers around the program right now. It feels like

Sark never really has that thing where he's like, you know, I know Signetti and Indiana is a firm

leader and that thing is tight. Georgia, Kirby Smart, same thing, even though they have the, you know, the off the field stuff with the, with the driving and stuff. But I don't feel that it text us. I feel like it's always a tenuous grip on being the leader of that team. And you don't hear great things about arts right now on the schedule. So nasty. If they were to lose to Ohio State early again, that schedule so brutal late that they could fall apart. Right. And they could have

“they could have a couple losses going into red. Remember, if they had a really bad loss. They”

have a top three roster in the country, probably, but that hasn't really mattered. So wait, wait, we're the whispers. What are the whispers on the 48? Because you can't just say whispers, you're like through a grenade and then you go, well, you got parents get them taken to Twitter right now saying it's all politics out here and they're not like, and which is, is just fine, you can take that with a grain of salt. If a team has buttoned up about their stuff and Texas really kind of usually

isn't. I, I'm with you on Georgia as far as what they're, how close they've been and how they've been kind of dismissed. And that if you look at the NFL draft last year, there weren't a lot of bulldox taken in it. But to me, that's because everybody that was the best player on their team last year was typically off. Yeah. So it's like you got all that coming back. Gunner is like perpetually unappreciated at quarterback. But I also think that part of what he's unappreciated for is the lack of an explosive

passing game is also played a part in holding Georgia back because yeah, they lost on the last

second field goal to Ole Miss and the playoff last year. But maybe if they had more of a passing

threat, they wouldn't have been in that situation to begin with. So I do think it counterbaltes a bit. As for Texas, I don't care what parents are tweeting parents or parents. They're pissed off about things all the time. Sometimes, you know, they like tell the school that they're going to file a cease and assist against them for using a number, you know, just because they gave it to somebody else. That's why I bring and take that shirt off. You got a lot of, you got some of some respect that you're

not wearing that number of this. This is, this is Arkansas great Derrick Fed. I don't care what

“is it? I think that was against Ellis. You should be one time high school when or at least.”

We're going to put some tape on this. One on taping where we're taping. We're taping right now. It's legend. Derrick Fed is one of the greatest college football players all the time. Yeah, you can't get credit for it. I'm wearing the shirt. Derrick Fed. Congratulations on having a shirt. You still want to have a shirt too. Mine's just black. But no, to Texas, they are. They're extremely talented. They have like, they were in the, you know,

college football playoff twice in the last three years. I got to the 14 that came two years ago. They nearly lost the Arizona State, but they were also a few plays away from beating Ohio State and getting the title game themselves. Last year, they missed out mostly because of, you know, they lost that Ohio State game early in the year and they lost a Florida for some fucking reason. But just I don't think that they're not the second best team in the league.

I wouldn't be surprised that they finished in third because of the schedule that they have to play. But I also think if you look at the talent, as you said, they're extremely talented. My concern has been like the one thing with Sark. The last few years, every year with Texas, I feel like I'm saying the same shit where they're able to move the ball, but they get to the red zone and then they don't really finish drives. And at some point, Sark has to figure out how to call an offense that finishes drives and

gets to the end zone. Or else they're never going to achieve their ceiling.

They could do that though. And if they figure that out, and if archman and kind of develops into what everybody's expected him to be, if the kid we saw at the end of last season, is the kid that comes in this year and starts playing to that level right away. That's a very scary, very good football team, and that they bring in Camp Coleman a receiver from Auburn. That is, you know, Jeremiah Smith gets all the oxygen and deservedly so. But Camp Coleman is very good himself.

“Yeah, between the two of you, I think I'm going to lean Brandon on his takes on Texas,”

because you got to see him up close in personal last year. I did. I did. It's all very close. Really close. Super close. Yeah. Personal, personally. As close as you can pass, personal as it could be. I smell the receiver as he caught the winning touch now. He went right by me and I had nothing but class. I was like great, great effort, great catch and I knew he caught it. And it is what it is. I don't think I certainly think there's a world there, the second best team in the conference.

But I don't think the separation between them and everybody else exists to we really see him put it together. Like you mentioned they got to be about Florida, you know, Kentucky took him to overtime, weeks took him to overtime. Like they, they really were hanging on by a thread all season. They were waiting for Arch's development, waiting for him to develop. He finally got going at the end. But what if he has, what if he's just a slow starter? But who's your second best team in the SEC if it's in that Texas? That's a great question. You know, there's a, there's a, there's a,

there's a lot of things that can be, it can be Ole Miss, it can be Alabama, it can be Oklahoma. I would probably slot Texas in there right now. But I just feel like the, the potential for things to go wrong early against Ohio State starts starts to cheese sliding off a cracker and start might not be God save it. See, I, I think if there's a team that I'm looking at that could be the team that supports them at number two. Sure. I'm looking at LSU. Yeah.

my lane is coming in. But I also feel as though like Ole Miss, Trinidad is fantastic. Trinidad might be the best quarterback in the country.

But I don't know if the rest of the team is there. And I don't know if losing Lane Kiff and LSU and that staff going in and then having a first time head coach and peak old and who

“listen, he won two playoff games. One of them was against two lanes. You can see that if you want to, but he did beat Georgia at a playoff game. He did beat Kirby smart.”

But it's different when you are going through the regular season and you're doing it weekend and week out and teams have scouted you and they know who you are and they know what your tendencies are. So can't he do that in a weekly basis? I don't know. But I look at LSU and the coaching upgrade that they have and how talented that team is, I, I wonder if they're not the second best even a week. I, they certainly can be. They're, they're in the mix. Do I believe in that quarterback enough to propel them there right now? I stay held on to Sam Levitt. Two years ago when he had an NFL running back and a, and a lead elite receiver, they made a playoff and he was solid.

Last year, he only had the receiver and he had some health issues, but they, he wasn't good when he was healthy last year. He wasn't good pretty much at all last year. I watched him. I guess Mississippi State and Starfield lose a game. He threw for 78 yards. Like I just, I just don't know if Levitt is the guy when they went quarterback shopping this year. They didn't go the store and say we want to come home with Sam Levitt. They settled for Sam Levitt. So if lanes a great quarterback guy, maybe he gets the most out of him, but right now, I don't know if I can believe in that quarter and a lead full of pretty good quarterbacks. I don't know if I can crown him yet.

Very fair, but what were you saying with this time last year about Trinity at Chandler's? You had no idea who he was. Lane turned him into the best QB in the country. I got a question about quarterbacks to the SEC. Sure. Just kill and to bore finally have his quarterback. Yes. I guess that's like Alabama is one of those teams. I don't think quarterback's the issue though. No, I don't think quarterback's right. Yes, I think he got hurt and kind of it didn't look good at you. That's the first round NFL pit court. That's a damn good quarterback. It was a quarterback. It was a lack of toughness and well, they kind of run the ball.

They fact they've sucked all the toughness out of that program in two years. So do you think Alabama is going to because there is going to be three or four teams in the SEC that get to the playoff. Who is going to be those three and third and four teams? Which means there's going to be like four teams that think they're going to play off right now. They're going to be like six and six or seven and five. I would say Georgia or would you say the three or four I'd go Georgia. I would go. I would go. I'd like LSU. I like LSU and I think that fourth one is where it gets complicated.

I don't like Oklahoma a lot. I don't know. I think as a very good shot to do just because you know the defense is going to be incredible and it's going to be, you know,

can John material stay healthy? Can they develop more of a passing attack that teams have to fear and they don't necessarily have to rely on it. But you need it to be realistic because that would help with their run game and also will John material kind of hand off sometimes.

“So I like in them to last year's Miami where I think Oklahoma can get to 10 and two this year. Remember how Miami went 10 and two and then they shipped to the playoff with a defensive line that defensive.”

They just started destroying people. If Oklahoma were to go 10 and two in the regular season and sticking to the playoff, they could be that team where their defense takes over the playoff. And they have it's good. They can go nine and three and get to the playoff because they established it and we too. Like if they win that Michigan game and then even if they lose a few games in the SEC, they are going to be one of those teams that will have the legitimate claim to an at large spot at nine and three.

Yeah, they just need a couple of wins over there. I wouldn't wouldn't school that I haven't heard from you guys yet is A&M. I don't believe in them at all. A&M fans think I'm just a hater but both fans can be true. It's fine. But last year they hate Oklahoma.

They're first seven. I hate everybody. They're first seven games in the SEC, we're against Team Frank 10 through 16 the SEC.

They need an AmeriCorps to be South Carolina. Then they finally get to Texas. They finally get to Miami. They can't score. They can't move the ball. And I think the quarterback is just okay. And I think they had to revamp their offensive and defensive lines. They're not getting that schedule again. I think A&M right now is a fake top 10 team. Yeah, a newfound reality of college football that I think fan bases need to come to grips with is now that you've got the super conferences where you've got 18 or 16 teams in your league and you're only playing nine conference games.

“Schedule luck is going to play the role of a team. That's why everybody's high on Penn State because look at their schedule.”

And look at NC State over last weekend. People are talking about NC State because look at their schedule. So you could get a little lost and just relying on a team schedule to think that they're going to be good. But Texas say them took advantage of it last year. They had it set up form and to their credit. They went out there and they won every single game like they were supposed to. Marcel Reed took a step forward and then when they ran into Texas at the end of the regular season they lost. They get to the play off and they play Miami and they lose a home game in which the offense couldn't do anything.

So now, Colin Klein has left your offensive coordinators going to take over Kansas State. Your defensive coordinator left. I don't know if they're that upset about that, but they do have two new coordinators can Marcel Reed may continue to grow. If he doesn't and the schedule is more difficult than what you faced last year, it's going to be really hard to do what they did again. Who's the SEC team that we're not talking about that could somehow crash the poor South Carolina? Oh, okay, Brandon hates South Carolina. At the start of the year last year, I was like, I was all in. Well, the problem the South Carolina last year is they brought it into an offensive coordinator that tried to turn Lenora's sellers into a pocket quarterback and Lenora's sellers just not talking in court.

Listen, you need damn well, I mean, it's not about strategy to not be off the expert. We're both experts. I'm just out of the horals out Carolina from your number seven or number two on this show is former expert.

Yeah, like listen, we both are smart. We both know things. I'm just a little smarter a little better looking on the little quicker that you on the draw.

So I'm going to South Carolina because with Kendall Briles coming in, they're going to let Lenora sellers get back to what he's best at. Drop back. If the first read is there, throw it. If it's not, you're like six, two and two hundred, 40 pounds. Go run over some defensive back and pick up a first out and Kendall Briles. If we go back to week zero, he was the offensive coordinator, TCU last year. Yeah, he left. Look at TCU's offense without Kendall Briles last weekend. Now he's coming to South Carolina. They are going to be better than they were last year.

“I'm not saying that they are going to be a playoff team, but if you're asking me which team I think is not being discussed, that could sneak in there.”

It is South Carolina the one caveat. Dylan Stewart needs to be healthy. He's already got some back issues that are kind of scaring me a little bit, but hopefully he's ready to play. Good answer. I'll throw another team in there. South Carolina, I agree wholeheartedly. I think not every quarterback that we were high on last year is going to bounce back. I think when North sellers is, it's too talented not to. And the offensive coaching is going to help him bounce back in the schedule. I think they be in them at home, for example. But since he sets out to Carolina, let me say Florida, I think Florida brings back a decent defense.

You know, Jayden balls together. They got great receiver room. If they can get any sort of quarterback play that schedule early, they catch Ole Miss coming off the LSU week in early September. This is a team that could start 6 and 0. And if they're 6 and 0, going to that gauntlet in the back half, there's somebody that can really mess with the powers of being the SEC. And another team that's made a big up-graded offensive coordinator too. So when you look at their roster from Florida, how many of the guys on the team are our guys that are brought in like brand new to the program?

There's a - not as many of these things though. Yeah, not as many as typically happen with the coaching change. Yeah, the Napier's guys. Yeah, Napier listen, Napier recruiting wasn't really the problem. It was, you know, being a coach on Saturday, that was a problem for them. Mm-hmm. Okay. Any high-spin, uh, what's your favorite high-spin bet from the SEC? So I have one and now it's kind of going up and smoke. Okay. Oh, no. But I don't know before week one. We don't know when I'm on heart. He's gonna play. Okay. But coming in like a month ago, he was plus 10,000.

He is the best running back in the country. He is. Now, he got shot in the offseason. Yeah, that's never good.

And he's working his way back. They, they've been very spotty with information. They've been very close to the chest. No, we do kind of hear that he's probably not playing a week one or the star of the season. But if he were to come back by week two or three, put up 1500 yards, the high's been sometimes as a story award. Can they win nine games, though? If he's great, they would, I mean, they would have to.

“Can they? Yes. Would they? I don't know. But that's the limit now. You used to be, you know, obviously you have to be like,”

when in the playoff you had to be in a playoff. But now like, GDA knows what it would nine games not go to the playoff. I think nine and Travis Hunter didn't go to the playoff. I think eight or nine has to be the limit. Super long shot. I'm out hard. It was my guy this year. But now just that I do like sellers to put it back and become a top five quarterback in the in the entire country. Yeah. If I another quarterback, you could look at somebody you asked earlier. Keelen Russell quarterback at Alabama. Like if they do get to the playoff, it's probably going to be because he has a fantastic season.

And part of their problems the last years is they have an opportunity to run the ball. Some of that's the offensive line. Some of it was just the guys that they had it running back. I think Keelen Russell being back there. If the offensive line is not where they need it to be, Keelen is the kind of guy who can make up for that with his legs and kind of give like John material did last year for okay. Yeah. He could end up being the running game in a lot of ways. So he's going to have the story too. Like he's

incoming, you know, first time starter. If Alabama gets back to the playoff, they're back in the run. He's going to be in the

“running. But I think sellers is a good call too. Now to keep in mind, Willstein is a listener of the show. He's probably listening as we talk right now.”

What can we expect from Kentucky? I like them. I like them a lot. If you look at the rebuild offensive line, they went and got dudes from from some big time places. And the quarterback, I just assume, is going to be good under this new offensive with Willstein. I think he'll know what he's doing at quarterback. He went to Notre Dame, right? Can you mention? Can you mention? Yeah. Yeah. I like them to possibly, they played Alabama in week two. And I got what a way to start your new program if they were to

somehow do that. And then they play LSU later in the season and I think they might get one of those teams at home. So I like Kentucky a lot. I love what Will said at SCC media days about being the reason that Kentucky can win. I do think it's going to take two years though. I don't know if he's going to be able to come in there and have that immediate kind of success. I think the schedule's pretty difficult. I think that you're overhauling the roster. I do agree with you. Like Kenny Minty is not a

known commodity at this point. But if you talked to Notre Dame people last year that was not just, you know, we're saying this to keep a guy happy and keep him on the roster when they were talking about how close the race was between CJ Carr and Kenny Minty. Minty was really pushing Car for that gig. So that gives

What he's been able to do for guys, it's realistic to think the kids are going to be good. I just don't know if Kentucky is at the place right now as an entire roster where it needs to be to win at a bunch of games in the SCC. Oh, they go to a ball though? They could. I mean, they're when told what for and a half. Oh, no. Yeah, they can get there if Minty really really hits. But I don't know. I think they're probably going to be in that five seven. All right. Let's talk about the

major leagues to Big 10. Not really, not really a big difference as far as you know. Yeah, we're going to have said it is the best conference. Three in a row. Yeah, you predicted the fourth in a row.

I thought you doing that as a jinx knowing that you always get your predictions wrong.

And no, I don't always get my predictions wrong. I had that Georgia the win national title before they ever won national title. I had who won national title two years ago. I stayed two years ago. Even after they lost the Michigan, I said you better bet him now right three minutes after they also

“Michigan said they're about to go on a run. That's what I said. You kept betting Georgia when they had”

Mark Rick. No, that's not what I say. Georgia was the key. And then not what I said. Is it a trophy getting in your way? No, but I got so nice. I got my shit. All right. Big 10. Sure. Oregon, Indiana, Ohio State. Those are three big 10 teams, correct? They are. Can we say that those what's going to let me let me do the reverse what's going to stop one of those teams from getting to the playoff because it feels like they are heading shoulders above

everyone else for Ohio State. It's the schedule. Yeah. Yeah. The Ohio State finally has it's just really nice. It's very like I fully expect Ohio State is going to get to the college for a playoff. But I do think that a lot of people are overlooking how difficult their schedule is.

There are a lot of games on there. Like you could talk about how they've never lost. You know,

if you were then two games in a regular season, then you look at the schedule. Like, yeah, well, if there's going to be a time for them to do it, this is going to be the time where it's going to happen. Access out Indiana at USC. Yeah. Yeah. Then don't think Oregon at Iowa. Exactly. So it's like, this is going to be if they get through the season at 10 and two and don't win the conference, there's still going to be one of the best teams in the country. It might be the best spot for them.

Yeah. So the big 10 championship game that they are very talented. They have a very, very good team. Julian's saying we need to see him like he struggled in their bigger games at the end of the

“year. He struggled in that game against Texas, but that was his first career start. So you need to”

see him take a step forward. And they did lose a lot of guys on the defensive side of the ball. So the biggest obstacle they face will be Julian saying not progressing and that schedule. But I think even if things don't go well, they're just too talented not to be in the playoff at the end of the year. Yeah. Can I say the same thing as true about Oregon? Like, I want to pick Oregon. Yeah. Yeah. But like Julian saying Dante more have the same problem. They both look so

super normal when the other defense got elite. And Dante more was really bad when the other defense got elite. Yeah. And then Julian saying was was kind of bad. Yeah. But I still think Oregon's so loaded. It might not matter. There's a narrative of like, oh, Dan Lenin and Kent win the big one. The Dan Lenin has put his team in a spot where they've lost to the national champion. I think they're last five losses or the national champion. Dante more is the one that like, can he step up?

We were talking about I think it was Bouger like the Indiana game was bad. The Iowa game. I know we had to drive at the end, but it was bad. There was another one in there where it's like.

“The Penn State game wasn't Penn State game. Yeah. Like they they probably should have won that”

regulation. Like there's there's just moments where you're like, I need I need to see him step it up and win a game for the docks. Ironically though, like that's all true. And like those road games he had a difficult time with. But like if you think about the teams that we think of as national title contenders this year, you could say that about pretty much every single one of their quarterbacks. Like they all struggled in big games. It's like Julian Sand struggled against Indiana.

Dante more struggled against Indiana. Guess who won the national title? India. So I mean, there's some of that to it. And you do expect that, you know, you're not going to be great when you're playing great defenses. That is why they are great defenses. The question typically is can you make enough plays? And they just didn't make enough plays in those game. But I do believe that with what Oregon has coming back at their receiver position. Like they are if if they fail this

year or Dante more fails this year. To me, that's more on Dante more than anything because there's really no excuses of what they have at the receiver spot. They are getting loaded. Yeah, everywhere spot. Everywhere spot. Yeah, defensive line. Well, I do want like the offensive line could be that's the one thing I'm going to be watching early with them. I don't know if we'll learn a whole lot against Boise when they open the season. Yeah. But that's one area where I'm going to be kind of

keeping a close eye on because they are replacing both their tackles. It's an interesting thing. I do think that Indiana is getting weirdly disrespected, even though they are a top 10 team and put their like why would anyone doubt Kurt Signetti at this? Well, they shouldn't. He's the best coach in the country. My thing are they getting disrespected or is they're just not enough respect to go around because with Oregon. Oh, I like it. It just seems like they're Oregon's

got a peak roster this year, right? Yeah, Oregon and Oregon is the is the bell of the ball in the office. Right. Like the Oregon and Texas both have rosters like how can you get much better than

these rosters? So they're actually getting attention. Ohio State's always there. So Indiana

isn't getting the standard Alabama Georgia level of defending national champ attention. But this

think it's Oregon Texas attracting the attention rather than Indiana not getting. Okay, I think Indiana is fucking thrilled with that by the way. Yeah, yeah, because what you just did was wildly disrespectful to Indiana. How you just said they might be a one-and-done. This might be a flash in the pad for a year. I mean, it's really hard to win consecutive national titles. It is. It didn't happen a lot. They

had to had a great schedule six first year. But still, he outperformed expectations to a crazy degree,

“even though, you know, by the end, I think you, you know, you're looking back and you're thinking,”

I was right saying that there were going to be frauds when it came down to it. Yeah. But still, a great year, year one, year two, one of the best stories were the best teams we've seen a very long time. Sure. College football. So to say like the expectation from them should be anything less than repeating is kind of disrespectful. I have seven teams, I think, in one of the national titles. They are 100% in there. If that's not respect, I don't know what it is. Because they're replacing

a high-spin trophy winning number one draft pick guy. They're replacing him at quarterback. And we're just assuming they're going to go right on because they're keeping the coordinators. They're keeping the coaches great. Like, I'm just assuming they're going to be in an elite level, even though they lost one of the best players in the country. I think that's respect. Yeah,

I think they also, you know, the money that they spent on the roster a lot more this year. Sure.

Would sing say like I bought a bigger gun. Yeah. That's, you know, I was still respecting the Anna. I'm not saying you're disrespectful. I think the college football landscape overall, there's a little disrespect. Like Ohio State nor are going to under defensive lines get a ton of

“credit, you know, a lot of, because of recruiting rankings and they have talent players. I believe”

there's a chance that Indiana has the best defensive line in the big tent. I think that is a real possibility with what they have, both as guys that they've developed. And because with the new rules, some people they've been able to bring back who weren't in NFL camps. So they've got four five year olds. Exactly. They've got like, fathers of three on their defensive line. And I think that's, that's a huge advantage to have. So I, I wonder if like, you lose Fernando Mendoza and I have

said plenty of times just off season. Like you typically don't lose the number one pick in the

draft and get better. Like even when you bring in a new quarterback that you believe and it's hard to

imagine that Joshua for no matter how good he is, can be what Fernando Mendoza was. But what if he is? Right. Like, and you still compare that with their defense, where they lost some key guys, but they still have plenty of guys coming back. Their offensive line is still probably going to be pretty damn good. They brought in a kid Nick Marsh at receiver who is really, really the only good thing about Michigan State last year. So you're bringing him in. Yeah. Like, this is a team that will

be very much in the running all year and it's I agree with you. There are seven teams, which by the way, is a wonderful thing. Yeah. That the kid is in the national profile. It's great. All right. So in the big tent, similar conversation that we had in the SEC, if you, if you say those three teams, there's going to probably be a four team and you guys take it with whichever direction you want of this group. I'll tell you. Michigan, Iowa, Penn State, USC, Washington. I'm going to say it now.

Big 10 doesn't get a four team in. Oh, okay. I think they're only going to get there. There's going to heat each other alive. I think the rest of them are going to, it's okay. Once you play the go listen, I'm going to speak about big 10 stuff. You don't understand where you come from. When you

“get into the gauntlet, when you get into the gauntlet of a big 10 schedule, okay. When you have to play nine”

games, it's a big 10 teams. You have to play them weak in and weak out. You just teach other alive. And I think that there is a very realistic possibility that like the Michigan's the USC's, all these teams, they're probably going to end up with three losses. And I don't know if they're going to have the overall strength of schedule to get that at large bid. So at least they probably won't campaign in beg for it. It's not the other time. Penn State could trip into the only two

losses. So that's, yeah, their schedule is like as we discussed earlier, like scheduling plays a huge factor into how things work. Penn State could take advantage of it. We will see. I still don't know if they have the depth of talent to really be a playoff team and do not screw up or trip up in one of those games because that's they have to be perfect. They can't do it for tough things. It's not like they have. No, they do, but if they can go to one in those pictures, yeah, yeah,

maybe even, it's not like, this isn't an Indiana schedule from two years ago. But this is, this is a schedule. It's kind of a couple of places like a trip up. For sure. All right. So then, so you're saying no, no, 14. I don't think they get a fourth in, but of those teams, I would do the highest on USC schedule is so tough. It's really hard to say. Well, Claire, if I question, I want to ask for this one. You're, let's say one of those three teams doesn't make

you who replace those. Yeah, because we're assuming all three of those are just, well, it's one of those three teams. If one of those three teams doesn't make it, I bet it's USC getting in because USC is not them off somewhere. Okay. Yeah, not them out. Because that's the one thing that holds me back on the Trojans is their schedule. It's very difficult. It's going to be hard to imagine them getting through with only two losses and getting there. Although they do,

they could be one of those teams that has an argument at nine and three, depending on who the nine are and how the three losses go. So I would look at the Trojans. They have a great quarterback coming back. They are very talented, defensively you saw some flashes on Saturday. Yeah, it was San Jose State, but they have very young talented kids. They had a great recruiting class on a lot of them

of college football where you tend to want to be older. You don't really want to be super young.

So that could be a problem for them. Michigan, I'm not super high on Michigan. I was getting some

“blowback. I, I think Kyle winning him is an awesome, awesome coach. The coaching upgrade from”

Schroenmore to Cowwing and Normus enormous. Yeah. I don't know. And maybe I'll look stupid and I'll I'll have to put my hand up after week two, but I just don't know if Bryce Underwood, like he's got to take a step forward for them to be a playoff team in my mind. So yes, he does, but why have we grown to a place where we aren't like that's not possible. He was a fire star course. Of course. Of course. I said I'm not just saying to you, I'm saying everybody. If he

beats Oklahoma, I will absolutely be like, you know what, I was wrong. This is a legitimate national title content. He was a five star quarterback. They got thrown into the mix with zero coaching last year, zero leadership. I don't even know what that game plan was. They tried to roll him out with. It was, it was coaching my practice, even before all the crap happened in the year. He was fireable based on the way he used Bryce Underwood. So and by the way, I know it's

against lesser competition, but Biff Pogy did a better job with Bryce Underwood than Schroenmore did. Now we go now. Now he has a full off season with an actual coaching staff. I do believe defensively they're going to be very good. Like, I hate it. I don't like it. I'm coming around to be higher on Michigan now and I was like two weeks ago as I realized. I think we thrown Bryce Underwood out and that's not fair. That's not good. That's not good. They can certainly

have like, it's his second offense. He had to learn in two years. So it's basically another

freshman season. But at least he has a teacher this time. Oh for sure. I was maybe fourth offense that he said to learn because it did feel like for most of the season, it was week to week. What they were going to have him run and then Pogy comes in. That's three. And now we got four. Yeah. We could see a slow start. So them having those games or that Oklahoma game early near could be a problem. I do believe if you look at the talent, there is obviously if he

does hit and reaches potential. He's a very good player. I wonder if they're going to use him or is a rushing threat this year. Then they were last year. You look at Jason back the offensive coordinator that's come in with Kyle winning him. That is definitely something that's been a part of what he's done with his offenses. So I expect we will see it. My other primary concern about Michigan, like when you think of the harbour teams that were winning the conference that

were beating Ohio State that were winning a national title, cheating besides cheating. Oh, I thought that's worth it. No. No. I was saying that. The NFL draft would come around and there would be a ton of dudes from that Michigan defense that were getting picked early in the draft. I don't know if this current defense has those dudes and it's hard to be a great team in a playoff caliper team without more dudes on defense. So I'll happily be proven wrong, but I just don't know

based on what I've seen now that they have them. And they have a tough schedule. Oklahoma, Iowa, Penn State, and they got to go in Indiana all at home and they got to go to Oregon. They got to go to Ohio State. Like that's there are no easy. That's a two if you go three there. It's going to be very tough. I'm going to bring Penn State up again. Well, there's one easy school tech to say and I haven't had an easy schedule. Okay. And there's one easy schedule in each league every year.

Yeah. Is Illinois's new scoreboard too big? You know, at the most fascinating part of that scoreboard for me is what it is going to do to the kicking game because wind has come into that stadium and made it very difficult. It's very soldier fieldish where it's hard to kick field goals in that stadium if you're not familiar with the wind patterns. Now they've put this giant scoreboard up. It's on top of the South ends on that is going to affect that. I want to know

how that's going to impact the team if that's going to hurt them because you know Illinois won a lot of games late with field goals. It could be a big deal. Yes, Brendan. Is this what the trophy gets you? We're just spending time talking about the Illinois kicking game. Oh, yes, I'm not a damn Illinois kick. Oh, I'm not a damn Illinois kicking game. All right. Give us all the way. We're done by the Illinois

“kick game guys. I gave you a Chick-fil-A gift card and a hundred dollars and that's how you're going to”

treat my trophy. I should take it back. I should, but I'm too big. It's probably hadn't marked ties this name on it like an hour ago. It's stretched it off. I was just curious about it. A D1 athlete marked ties scoreboard is getting too big. That was my overall point that there's you reach a limit with how big it can be as as an addition. So we should Buffalo bills the whole thing. Yeah, those are a little bit. And now if you want to talk about what they should do in the kick game with

scoreboard if it's super high definition, they should put like fake uprights with the wind and the flags blowing directions that it's not blowing in and just fuck with the kickers had. Kickers are dumb. Now if you're going to ask me if I'd rather that money went to the roster,

yeah. I'm going to say yeah. I would never ask you that. No, but yeah. There'll be much more relevant

to this kind of loose the big 10 team that could crash the party. Illinois. Yeah. Okay. All right. Okay. Yeah. No interesting. Go off. I think that you look at what they did at the quarterback situation. I look all Myers very, very difficult to replace. Look all Myers was very good for that team. You want a lot of games, a lot of fourth quarter drive to Starkfield, Mississippi native who went to Old Miss instead of Mississippi State. The name of Illinois. Yeah. The real smart coaching

“staff you had there. Oh, yeah. You're the smartest of the great Mike Leach. Yeah. Yeah. That's what you're”

doing. That means coach died. Right. You know what? Maybe he'd still be alive if he'd gotten

Look out, Myers, kill my ladies and gentlemen. Listen, they're, I'm not going to get into that.

All right. We don't want to start any conspiracies, but I'm not saying it. Illinois also doesn't have to play Wisconsin. Don't have to play Wisconsin who did beat them just, you overwhelm them. They're offensively and late last year in the cold, cold weather. But Kate and how's your

“comes in East Carolina? I believe he's a very similar player to Luke Altmire. I also believe he”

is more of a downfield threat with his arm that could open up a part of that Illinois offense that we haven't seen yet. And it's been a very impactful and effective Illinois offense the last few years. Defensively are where the questions are. They are changing their scheme or at least they're they're not changing the scheme as much as they're changing their approach with the scheme. But they're going to probably be far more aggressive, which could lead to some problems.

But if things click, this is a team that has won a lot of games in the big 10 in recent years,

who I feel like is just being completely ignored for that and they're kind of just being pushed to the side because everybody's looking at him and saying, well, they've got a new quarterback, a new defense, whatever they're going to go back to being Illinois. I don't think they're ever going back to being what Illinois used to beat. That doesn't mean they're going to win nine ten games every year. But I still believe that if you look at what they've done on that roster,

the talent upgrade, the coaching upgrade that they've had and just the investment that they put into it, it's not the Indiana investment that they've had and the immediate changes we've seen.

“It's been a slower progress, but I think it's a program that is building. So if things click,”

they've got a schedule that compared to other big 10 teams, not as difficult. There is a path for them to get the 10 and two. And if they get the 10 and two and you're a big 10 team, you're in the playoff conversation. What about a little school known as Iowa? You think they could crash the party? Yes. I'm not. They've got to get a quarterback as my question. Yeah. I have one that can crash the top and one that can crash the middle. The one that you crash the top is Washington. Washington's

got a lot of people coming out there, man. They got a lot of teams that have to go through Washington. That's not a fun trip for that wasn't a fun trip for pack 12 schools to go up there. Now, Michigan, you got or a big 10, you got to go all the way out there. With the quarterback, if they can show their harmony because he, he didn't want to be there. Or at least he wanted to go discover the couple days. He didn't want to be there. He wanted to, he wanted to go test out that

LSU money and see how deep it was. But they talked him back in the building. They got him back. They held him hostage and now he's there. If they're happy and good, he says dynamic and quarterback is there is in the conference. And they're going to be tough to beat out there. Now, I got one that crashed the middle coming up from the bottom. Maryland. Oh, yeah. We talked about dynamic quarterbacks. Talk about Malik Washington. Like I think everybody assumes like the Rutgers Maryland.

They're going to be at the bottom. I think you look up in Maryland's 1, 6, 7, 8 games. And they're like, oh, wow, they're here. They're kind of here and they get a fix on body. So those are my two in the big 10 that maybe nobody sees coming. Very much on the way. They're going to say it was constant. That would have been fun. Well, I figured you were going to say it. No, I mean, I don't know. It's an easy schedule. Defends is going to be really good. We'll see. Colton Joseph. Can he

case stay healthy? Because we've lost every quarterback last three years. Can you release three games out of your quarterback this year before it falls apart? Yeah. Crash the middle. I like that. Yeah. I think Wisconsin could crash the middle. Yeah. I don't know if I consider them seven. Yeah. I expect eight wins would be like, all right, now we're going back in the right direction seven. You'd have to show me who we lost. But I don't consider how it's going to be at the bottom. I know they last couple of

years. I know they've been they've been dabble. And but they're just visitors. They're not they're not like permanent residents. It's, I know you don't want to put on one game, but like it actually is like

because I always I always said this like I'm realistic. Like we're we're going to beat Ohio State

“once every 15 years. You can't lose like 44 nothing to Iowa. That's where you have to mark yourself”

against. And so that will be a big moment of like we're doing it. Yeah, be dealing with one of the team crash the middle. You see a lay. Maybe that's by the way that now that I'm thinking about it, the start of the downside was actually the lost Illinois with Paul Chris. And then maybe beating Illinois last year was the start of it. It completes the search for back to where we were. Yeah. So are you just beholden to guys that stop through Harrisonburg for the rest of your life? Exactly. No, so for the

rest of your life if they stop at JMU, you're going to say they're they're going to crash it like you know what you need to do. You go stopping at JMU. Just visit. I've been to Harrisonburg. They have a great win. And we'll be like yeah, bring them walkers next up. Take your gift card. They were there. I've been there. I did it. I did it. I did it. I did it. I walked live there. I did it. I did it. I did it. I did it. I'm for a safety marker. I'm for a safety marker. Yeah. Chick-fil-A right across from the stadium. You have the new

drive pass on I didn't want to. You look over. You see this big beautiful stadium. I'm like, oh my god, who plays there? You keep driving. See the other half. Oh, okay. That's nothing. Oh, you don't like the half city. It's a half city. It's a half city. It's split by highway. No, I do think that there's something I should I think it's a smart thing to want our coaches to have immediate success after they leave to help you. How's it help you? Well, we got Bob Jesse. Yeah, but now look at you got

Sunbelt Billy. Okay. You just said he built this Florida roster to a point where they could

Sure. The reality of the situation is there's no there's never going to be coach that goes to jam.

You and says, okay, this is where I want to be for life. And if there is, that's probably a coach that you would not want to hire to be the jam. So I hate a guy when they leave. Yeah, well, that's because you said you hate Mike Leach. You can leave. You can leave. You can read on the point. You can leave.

“Theoretically, Brandon, you should be above being a stepping stone. You're a, you're, uh, uh,”

that's why I hate him. Yeah, so I'm not, I'm a stepping stone. So I want to be the best stepping stone. Okay. Fair enough. That's, that's my theory. Fair enough. But maybe it's just a Mikey volcano talk that we had. Yeah, his limbs got in your ear best. No, what? They've got a guy. They've got a version of big dog. They've got a guy and he's, he's so kept under wraps. I had no idea about the guy when he was at JMU. I was in McDonald's on the, uh, Volcano. Volcano. Oh, I was supposed to be surprised

on. Yeah. Yeah, I call Mikey volcano. Big dumb. And his job is ambiguous to say the best. He just,

he's a guy that they have hanging out. That's actually Italian's, like, really specializing being ambiguous about what we just really guys. Yeah. So what we're doing alive show a big amount of Italian today. I'd have to look out for Mike you're volcano. Well, no, he would probably be the one that set you up. Okay. Okay. No, yeah, I'm not saying he'd be a threat to you. No, no, and quite the, the opposite. I think he'd be like your best friend. He'd take good care of you.

All right. And be real sane if anything happened to you. You see, Lei's got a chance to be good. I want right back into it. I don't know if they're going to be a playoff contender. I do believe that there is a little too much just. Well, Sig did it. Get the next James Madison coach and they're just going to completely vault. But like, I Nico Ayama lava is a good quarterback who's been in

really bad situations. And last year, that was a horrible situation for him to be in like talking about

Bryce Underwood and thinking like, you know, eventually a five star might figure it out. So if he's able to figure it out in an offense that could be suited to his strengths compared to what they were doing last year. And defensively, they've brought in some good guys from James Madison. See, here West is a kid. I don't take a ton of people know of who's a pretty good player. Who I think has a chance to be one of the better defensive end past Russia types in the Big 10. Like,

there is room for UCLA to grow. I just don't think that's more than an eight-land team, even if things go. Yeah, that'd be crashing little. Yeah, perfectly. Big 10 high spins. Obviously, Jeremiah's a little bit more. Do you think though? Do you think a receiver will win? I mean, I know a divine thing one a few years ago. It comes around every now and then. I don't know especially because Ohio State's going to be in so many big games. Okay, Jeremiah Smith goes down

in Texas and has 12 catches and three touchdowns. He's the early leader. Like, if he just keeps showing up in these big games, I think Jeremiah Smith, 100% come in the house. Okay. Oh, if we want to go narrative, we're discussing it. What if Bryce Underwood figures it out? Yeah, that's you're going to like a value play, right? You have no narratives when talking to high as much. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. All right, ACC, including Notre Dame. Sure. Why? So they have two good teams. Yeah,

yeah, ACC's got two good teams. Uh, they did that whole, like, Notre Dame. Sure. What they played in the ACC. Yeah. They went into the field. I mean, the two best teams in the ACC do play this year. Mm-hm. The other end was out of Notre Dame. Yeah. Um, I mean, I think Miami is just, uh, of the seven national title teams. I've got Miami and that group. I think they're, they're that good. Although I do think Louisville has a chance to be a, to to be a playoff team with

that schedule they have, uh, by September 19th, you're going to know if they were to pick off Ole Miss and then be there some human week free. They're almost a lock at that point. Mm-hm. I don't know if I would call them a lock, but yeah, I say almost a lock. I wouldn't, I don't know if I'd say almost a lock. You could say almost a lock. If you might, if you might finish seven and five and like the end of November, beating us and you might not mean shit. You're trying to protect your house with

almost a lock. It doesn't work. Yeah. You're also not allowed to say the L word. I said almost a

“lock. You should the L word again. You can't say almost the L word. Almost as an L word with”

the letter L. So you letter A, but yeah. You should know that. Okay. So it Miami is just better than everyone. Sure. And no name. No name is really, really. Yes. Yeah. Smoking. Is there anyone in the ACC that we should pay attention to? I mean, UNC is one and all. You should pay attention to some you. You should pay attention to Louisville. You should pay attention to Virginia Tech. Oh, what about Virginia? Virginia. Yeah. Virginia. Yes. There already want to know. And then

bro, privy, I looked, I'm sorry. I can't, let's max Brown, if you're listening. Bro, probably love, probule, probule, probuyah, like if you can, it has 55 different ways. My favorite is, that's a great way. But yes, he's, we talked about it on your show. And like probule, probule, probule, privy, was one of the more underrated kind of guys who was very good at Missouri last year before he got hurt and then he was very ineffective the rest of the season.

That Virginia defensively, we saw what they were able to do. That's a very good team. But it's just, there isn't a great team or even a very good team. I don't believe in the ACC after my amy. No. So there are a lot of teams who could cycle up and have a great season and finish in that

“nine, ten win range. It's just trying to figure out which one it's going to be. The only thing”

I'm really confident in is it's like, it's not going to be Boston College. It could be any number of

take your loss like a man to get out there. That's the ceiling for Louisville and SMU and Virginia and all those teams. But that ceiling does exist. Virginia Tech is the one truly interesting team to be though. Would that be crazy if James Trinkland finally broke through? It would be. For him, it's like you're that you just can't get there with Grompromire. Now I like Gromk. I don't. Well, we disagree. James Trinkland is one of us is the number one college

football expert. The big one has become just beating UVA. Yeah. That is the new Ohio state. And that's like any can manage. Look at their schedule. How many top five teams you

“see on it right now? Did the Ohio state? No, I think they played Miami and that's it. So like”

the James Franklin's problem has always been beating top five teams. I don't think there are any

on the schedule anymore. Yeah. No, and I think there's also something to getting a hungry James Franklin in the Franklin. Yes, God. You know, two years, two years ago, they were a band picked by their quarterback from playing Frank National Championship. It was 24 24 24 with a minute left. They had the ball. And then they the quarterback blows it for him. And then five listen five games later. James Franklin is out. That's got to put a fire in his belly. Maybe hasn't been there.

What did the fire probably always been there. But now he's got a chance to re-invigorate a program on in his own, you know, in his own manner after being pissed off. And he's like, is it James Franklin's fault or is it your fault? Because like last year, you're sitting on like this couch talking about how Penn State is. I like them, man. Yeah, you're picking them as like a national Tyler contender. I tried to warn you. I tried to say, but Brandon, they lost their best player

on offense. And they lost their best player on defense. You didn't care. You just rambled right through and you put all these high expectations on James Franklin. Bam, now he's the coach of Virginia Tech. So you killed Mike Lee, so you killed James. He was the best player on offense. They had the last Tyler warned. He's a tight end. Maybe you've heard of him. He plays foot coming into the last year. Coming to the last year. Let's just be out. I mean, those were on and backs were very appealing

“singleton and the other guy. I mean, I mean, I could have done it. I think there was a lot of”

tuning in. Trying to Allen, but I don't think there were superstars. We thought going in. They were superstars. You thought going in. That's a pretty calm. It's a pretty common thing. You also thought Clemson was going to be good too, right? You picked them. I did. Yeah. What round did I pick?

I thought first of all, because you talked about so much. Yeah. No, everybody, everybody, everybody

took a lot of losses last year, what teams like Clemson, what teams like LSU, what teams like Penn State last year, last year was brutal. I didn't see the collapse coming from Penn State. I thought Franklin was a solid program guy that wasn't going to bought him out like that. He bought him down through $6.5 to $45. Yeah. You mentioned Clemson. Haven't talked about Clemson yet. No, nor should we. Where? I'm fine. I'm not talking about it. Are they, are they that over-lookable?

They're not, they're not over-lookable. Just the sale is not there anymore. But yeah, like too much, one of the things we need to learn how to do is to reevaluate what history means in this sport. Like it used to be, you could just look and say, this school's done this. This school's going to keep doing this because that's who they are. But the NIL in the transfer portal have changed a whole hell of a lot about what history actually means going forward. And Clemson in the NIL

portal era has been a mediocre ACC team. I think they've, like, 17 and 12 or 14 an ACC play the last three years. They are an average football team. They're not a bad football team. But the era of them competing for national titles, unless Dabo changes and starts really embracing the things that have happened in the sport. I think it's done. And they might go eight and four this year. Hell, they might go nine and three because again, the ACC once you get past Miami's a whole

hell of a lot of shrugging and I don't really know what's going to happen. So I can't rule out that they're going to have a good season. But Clemson is not the team that won national titles anymore. They're just not. No, yeah. It's really ever since Swinney did that TikTok. Yeah. That was, that was like the mark. The three degree dog. Yeah. The mouse went up the clap. Coach Swinney's got a drip and now he's on TikTok. I didn't watch that one on the wild.

Ever since that. Yeah. That's, that's really the point where it all went downhill for Clemson. Question. I am high. Just like everyone else on Notre Dame. Is there any reason not to be? I don't think so. They're fucking loaded. I think Marcus Freeman's a stud of a coach. I love CJ Carr. I think they're going to unfortunately kick the shit out of Wisconsin in a few days. What's, what's not to like? Because now they also like, you could have made the argument. Oh,

well, they're schedules easy. But if they lose two games again and wanted to be why you, but now they have the new rule. Yeah. But I don't know if they would finish in the top 12. Okay. But yeah. So be why you game will be the biggest game because that would be the potential.

If that was a second loss, that could be the potential. Hey, BYU's right in the same neighborhood as you.

“The, if I'm a Notre Dame fan, the only thing I am concerned about is that college football is funny.”

And it would be very funny if Notre Dame lost a couple of games with us post when they missed out. But you look at the roster that they're one of the best teams in the country. If they don't make the play off this year, it is genuinely one of the biggest surprises of the season. I don't know. There's just, there's not, the schedule is, they should be winning most of those games by 20 some odd points. And that BYU game like no offense to BYU will get to the big 12 if you're in a,

We don't have to talk about that league. But like, when BYU got to play Texas Tech, they didn't really look nearly as good as they did in all their other games. And Notre Dame's

“quite a bit better than Texas Tech. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. No. And plus the, what's the one concern?”

They're replacing their running backs. It's the most replaceable position on the field. And I know they were great, but they're very good. They're, they're, I think the weapons they have out wide, and then the quarterback, and then the defense, you know, the, they got the best player in the country, on defense. Like, there's, there's not going to be much point to watching Notre Dame games during the regular season. Like, Notre Dame is a good day of like a two game regular season, and then you're

just got to turn them off until the playoffs. Yeah. They have a two game regular season last year. Yeah. They were the first two games. And then how many of them did you watch from that point out? That's a USC game. That's probably about it. All right. So I also have a, a shit load of former NFL players sons on that roster. They've got Jerome Betas. Bloodlines. Yeah. Larry Fitzgerald son. Yes. Yes, Brandon or lacquer son. He's a bloodline. I had the right. What? Or lacquer son transfer.

Kennedy is at USC. Wait, wait, Brandon, you raise your hand for what? He keeps raising his fucking hand. He keeps wearing class. Guys, guys, it's a bloodline. You say bloodline. You got to do this. Why? Because it's the fucking bloodline. It's Roman Reigns. Shit.

“Oh, I got to do this. I thought you should start a wrestling podcast. I'll kick you right now.”

Yeah. Okay. I thought that was a, this city thing where we've talked about bloodlines as

always got to be singular. Yeah. Just one. That wasn't even funny. It was funny. It was funny.

Make that. You guys are in bread. Yeah. I say it. It's very funny. Elijah Burris, Placco versus son. They've got just like a lot of former players on that roster. They're, they're children. So, um, I don't know. They, there have been those moments though with Notre Dame. It's like, they, they blow it in games that they very easily. There's an awful lot. I should use this hand with this drink. You bring up a good point. Something just dawn on me. If they've got the sons of a

bunch of NFL players, how hungry are they? A lot of kids raised by privilege. Do they want it enough? That could be the one that if, if Notre Dame misses the playoff, it's because those players weren't hard enough on their sons. Yeah. That's true. That's the last point I've ever heard. All right. So, wait, did you see a car in Derry and Mensa? Those were my husband. I actually like Derry and Mensa.

“I like Derry and Mensa. Yeah. Yeah. He's 11 to one. I think right now.”

And CJ Car to me is if we, we do, yeah. But if we do get in a situation where we're, we're very dismissive of the schedule and their blowing teams out is he going to have the moment. I think the quarterback, because I mean, listen, love almost got, you know, I mean, he was what he finished third. Third. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like, and that was a two loss team and he didn't really

really do those first two games. So, I think Notre Dame always, when you talk about narratives. Fair enough.

They want to vote for Notre Dame player. Fair enough. Yeah. There's been some breaking news just while we've been doing this pot, or maybe just right before we start taping it. Want to hear your guys react to this. The ongoing battle between LSU and the rest of the SEC, when it comes to whether or not they should be allowed to bring back players that went to the NFL for training camp and then came back to campus. This is Ross DeLinder that's reporting this right now. SEC school

executives are exploring extreme measures to address LSU's plans, including boycotting competition, sanctioning the school with probation or expulsion and firing or filing a federal legal challenge. Good Paul. The conversations within the conference are considered not leg driven, but membership led. The 15 SEC university leaders are gathering over potential options to address the situation. Once, source said the conversations are serious. Well, this goes a target of this bullshit.

I wonder which, which, which membership school do you think was the first to bring this up?

Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I do. Yeah, I do. I do. I listen. It's such a weird thing because as a purist, I don't want guys who have gone off to the NFL and have been training camps coming back to play on college football rosters. At the same time, I do feel that they kind of got screwed by the new ruling where the five or five you get five years of eligibility that doesn't get passed until after these guys had to make their decisions. So I understand where they're coming

from. I also don't think it is an existential threat to the sport if they do come back because next year's class, they don't get the same benefit of the doubt. They knew the rules ahead of time. So they're done. So we would be a one-time thing. So I am appreciative of the fact that at least like with the big 10 doing it and then the SEC and the ACC and big 12 following up that the conferences are trying to take the power back and and rule themselves. Instead of

begging everybody else to figure it out for them and begging Congress to come up with some kind of thing to fix things. So if this is what they're trying to do to get LSU to like play along, cool. If it works, cool. I think it probably will, but I don't know. So this shout out to Big 10 for being a leader in this. Well, yeah, but the SEC did put out that statement about how they weren't writing it for. Right. They can do it. Tom, they can do it. The president's in the,

yeah, the president has the first rule. The SEC see them fall, then pass the roll, but it's the

if the Big 10 is being challenged in the quarter of law, like the SEC, the SEC is scared of death from the court's law right now. All right. So this is another quote. I swear to God, this real quote, an SEC school official to Yahoo Sports just said, there are plenty of other schools who will take their place. Yeah, that's just that that's just Keith Carter at Ole Miss threatening to kick LSU out of the SEC. I would be very, very surprised to tell us you could kick out of the SEC over any of this,

but you know, you got to, you got to, you got to park a little bit, but people think that the

“Cage and Navy doesn't have ammunition. They do. And this would be a civil war. I think if you kicked”

LSU out of the SEC. Uh-huh. First of all, the Southease does never succeed it from anything,

so I don't know why you would put that on them, but it's, I don't think it would be to the SEC's benefit to get rid of LSU. There's no chance in hell that in a court that is that dominated by television revenue with the SEC, but like, let's get rid of LSU. There's just trying to scare him out of the fine, nor would it be beneficial to LSU to fight this hard for these. No. No, it's not, like, that's the thing. If these were guys coming back, they were like, fucking huge game-changer. Like,

types are like, if we bring like, if Jaden Daniels is like, I'm coming back as long as you promise to retire my number five when you're done. Okay. Let's break some rules because that's going to really change. If this is like our second linebacker, you know, it's not that big of a deal. Yeah. All right. Big 12, Texas Tech is clearly the the the the top. Sure. Mm-hmm. Who could crash the party? I'll give you three teams. BYU? Yeah. Houston. Yeah. Kansas State. Oh,

West Virginia was the only other one, but I like Kansas State. Oklahoma State. Oh, okay. Let's go.

I can't rule it out. I can't rule it out. Discuss, go. So Oklahoma State finally got serious about

the money. Finally got serious about roster building. Finally got serious about this new air of college football. Can they do it in one off season? Well, the quarterback's going to throw it all over the yard, the running match going to run for a ton of yards. I love I love that's to make it. It's a conference where you can make some pretty quick moves and pretty pretty pretty quick a set up the

“latter how far will will be left to be determined. But I think Oklahoma State is back to play”

big time ball in the big 12. I can sit in there is defensively. I don't know. They're going to be very good. Sure. I like Kansas State. They did suffer an injury on the offensive line a couple of weeks ago that kind of caused me to slow down a little bit, but we discussed earlier. Collin Klein is left Texas A&M. He's come to Kansas State. He's come home. We know what he was able to do for

our cell read last year. If he's able to do that same thing for Avery Johnson, who has been a talented

quarterback who is a five-star himself, that's a huge move and also we talked about what was one of the things Texas A&M took advantage of last year's schedule. You look at Kansas State's schedule. You know you don't see on there. You don't see Texas Tech. You don't see BYU. You don't even see you talk. Yeah. They have a very friendly schedule. That's something that they could take advantage of. That can get them to Dallas for the big 12 championship. They could be the team that's playing

Texas Tech there simply by default. Then another team I would mention, they get dismissed too easily. He's been too good there. He's one too many games. Colorado. Arizona State.

“Okay. Yeah. I think any dealing ham is a very good coach. Mississippi State lost aside.”

He's done a very good job with that program. I wouldn't be shocked if they have an upscale season. I like Houston too. I like Houston. When you talk about a conference that's as volatile as it is throughout the Big 12, when you have a good solid coach and a good program builder though and they're having to rely on the transfer portal a lot again this year. But he nailed it last year. I think I like Houston a lot. Also Houston kind of gets to play it out in terms of the fact

that they do get to play Texas Tech. Obviously they have to go to Texas Tech. But they get to play Oklahoma State. They get to play West Virginia. So they'll get to play it out in terms of the teams that are right right in that cluster. I love really fun. I love really fun. I love really but I'm just not a counter-wagman guy. I like him. It was fine last year. Well, for it's a really good coach. Well, for it's a great coach. Yeah. Okay. Forgetting the UCF is in the big 12.2.

They're a little snaggy. I think UCF forgets that sometimes. They were a little snaggy. They were better than people think last year. I think they were. I like that and they got a winner at quarterback. They do have a winner at quarterback. That's fact. They were in middle. They're very good at home on the road. They were an absolute mess. But Grinch's on there was a shock. The Grinch's defense wasn't nearly as bad as Grinch's defense, just really are. It's fun already clear. Yeah, but I just think

there. It's a conference where it's so volatile past Texas Tech. Anything in half. Yeah, it's like the ACC. You really don't know. Any high spins in the in the big 12? Uh-huh. Mr. Maker. I mean, I'm gonna make a throw for five thousand yards and they went nine or ten games. I think he's in the conversation. I don't think there are enough big games to get that kind of attention Nash. Maybe not, but they play organ early. What if they if they give a organ a run? I'm saying if you look at the history,

if you look at the history, the big 12, like all the high spin winners were typically from Texas Oklahoma in Nebraska. They're not there anymore. That's a fact. I'm looking at Oklahoma's stage schedule

dude. Did you have it? Was it one of the main schools? I'll say this Brandon. I mean, no,

hard. You three. There you go. November, November 14th, a host Texas Tech. That could be a high spin. Yeah, especially if I'm there going to be throwing it all over the yard. If they were able to get Texas Tech and those shoot out with Texas Tech's quarterback issues, either an injured Will Ammon or our cast. Yeah, I know it's like Texas Tech. He's been all over this area. It's just, I'm just going to be on Texas Tech. They are bringing him in to be the backup. Which is actually a big deal. Because Texas Tech

is loaded and the question was now they lost source. Yeah, you don't have a backup. Yeah, and Casti Anos, like for all the problems for the state had last year, I thought Casti Anos was as advertised. He was exactly who he was supposed to be. It was the team. It didn't really carry

“their weight. So it's an interesting pick up in that they have something now that I think Oregon's”

the only other team in the country can say they have. They have actual depth at quarterback

where is if we'll have him, it is unable to play. They've got a guy that can rely on. Now he's Thomas Casti Anos, the kind of guy I'm trying to win playoff games. He patched with my homes, like Oregon has. How's that going to work, by the way? The doctor and I was going to play in the rail is going to. No, I'm saying like he's not wearing a red jersey anymore. Oh, practice. Yeah, you had, you had, when Texas Tech had their quarterback issues in the spring, you had to

think to the railroad, it was just like, yeah, it was just damn it. It was right there, I mean, right, my take that Dylan real low and it probably not really that controversial, but the fact that he's been to was six schools in the last six years. Yeah, it's not good. It's not good. Just AJ Story at some point, he should have boys at at a school and he's like, I'm sick of moving. I want to hang out with my friends. Like this locker room means a lot to me. I would just

rather not leave them, right? If you're a leader, if you're a good quarterback that is able to develop deep relationships or at least very good working relationships with your, with your other players, I feel like at some point you want that guy to stick around just for, you know, the personal feelings that he has for the place. But that's the quarterback with the biggest

“in I.L. He just take his boys with him, couldn't he? Just take a couple of boys just transfer with me?”

That's him, boys. I don't think it's human trafficking. It's boy trafficking. Yeah, if you take totally different. Yeah, but if it's 20-year-old dude, you're talking about the travel 20-year-old college dude. You guys ready to pick? We'll get to the G5 because we'll hear your best G5. Oh, also, I asked Tom and Brandon to give me their best picks to see who could win the World Cup before the World Cup started. So I would just like to, I did. Brandon, you texted

it's okay. All right. So you guys both took Spain, Germany, and Argentina. Spain and Argentina. Obviously, they were pretty good there. Germany got bounced pretty early on. Outside those picks, Tom, you had France. Great World Cup from France. I don't pick France for anything. You had England. Great World Cup from England. Two awesome picks there. Yeah, but. And then Brazil, disappointing. But two really good picks. Brandon, outside those common ones that you guys shared,

“you had the Netherlands. Sure. And they, I believe, got bounced at the first round.”

And then you had the United States from America. Yeah, America. You haven't heard of it, Tom? So Netherlands, and it is soccer competition. I sure shouldn't even pick in it. Well, I am. Oh, you also had Portugal and they lost you. Okay. We're not good too. So Tom, I know that did score gold, though. He did. He did. He was back. I think Tom for Nelly is, we can say, our, our football, the part of my take football. I'm going to announce all the dollars on the top. Oh, god, Danny,

oh, congrats Tom. Thank you. Thank you. Let's put together the list. I want to see. Yeah,

let's go. All right. Who's drafting first? All right. Well, obviously, what, how did we figure that out?

I feel like I should go first. Well, you can choose because remember it's snake. Yeah. So you can choose. I'm going to, I'll go first. Okay. And by the way, we have Zach, running the Excel spreadsheet right now. I've got a knock in a spell. These, these, I would, get off your fucking phone. Sorry. I thought it was Jerry. Okay. Um, I've got it with Notre Dame. Good pick. How are we going to spell this one? Okay. And we got it. You're not a capitalized guy.

I'll take. I got you. Make it. Yeah. The Oregon ducks. Okay. And the Georgia Bulldogs. It's capitalized. You're giving me Ohio State. No, I'm taking the order. I'm taking the Georgia. I don't have to go Ohio State. Okay. I've already won. I don't know that you have over. It's over. Bless you. I'm calling it now. Okay. I have one all day. I can't wait to see what you in next year. Tom. Let me see. Let me take. We should give them a, oh, yeah. You have a list. I have a

master list. I don't even have a list. Give me my Emmy. That's good pick. Tom. I won two, three, four, five. You still have two of the teams. You think in with a national title. Um, yes. I do. It's got a figure. There they are. Um, it's probably. You may text us an Indiana. Okay. Oh, wow. So you took

getting a little complicated, but I'm going to take LSU. Okay. And then let's see here. They might get it really easy schedule this year if they get kicked out of the SEC. They might. This is like now we got to go to like the fourth team and the big deal. What about the week 12 big. The fuck I'm sorry. Sorry. How brand is going to take Texas tech? I shouldn't. They were on my list. I'm just trying to figure out. I understand that, but he wasn't. You weren't near them. I'll

take Texas tech. Oh, good. Good pick. Good pick. Good pick. You know, this is why you don't

fucking windshow. No, but if you don't have any of your second national title and you're trying

to get their team to want a national title. See, we're going to, but playoff helps too. It doesn't matter. It's a good. I can't remember what our rules were. That's bullshit. That's not your international advice. Get extra points. Yeah, put in an ask for an exit. Texas tech. What were you visit? Why? What do we got to revisit? That's bullshit. That's just doesn't mean any. Go parentheses and just be like,

it's brand and says that it's bullshit. Yeah. Tom, so you got to understand something

“about brand. You just have to, you have to just, oh, he's like a kid. Do you know what?”

I have something to say. So they'll stop complaining and then we'll come back. Got it. Give me, that's bullshit. Which is happening. Put the asker's in the bottom, Brandon's a baby. We wanted him to stop crying. You see, that's not how he's about Brandon. Hey, God Zach is very proficient in exactly. This is so much. Masterclass. Okay. I took a course. Yeah. All right, hold on now. Give me

Oklahoma. Oh, good. That's a good pick, Brandon. Washington. No, um, Alabama for Mama, USC. Oh, no, either. I'm trying to figure out if I want to go down to my value picks here. If I want to just keep going down my board. Well, you have, uh, you've picked so far. Three, five. So you still have seven. So you're going to get value picks later. Yeah. I, I've been toying with the idea because I know he doesn't want to pick Alabama. Yeah. So I've been toying with the idea

seeing how long I could let him go. I feel like this is probably as far as I should risk it. So I

“will take Alabama. Okay. And then Michigan, Michigan, that's what you sound like. You're just bad”

because you can't suck up. Um, I don't want to say it. And I won't say it. But like a pick that you had last year. Yeah, there's good people playing the get into the play. It's your second favorite team.

You always say Mississippi versus everybody. You do say that. Mississippi versus everybody.

No, all right. Everybody is hold on first. There's a pick that who could have seen your pick coming up might not be crazy. Who could have, who could have seen that it was going to come back to you first Texas Tech throw about through the whole rhythm on it. Oh, boy. So Tom, yes, the thing. I could go with a team here. Or I could go with another team. That's true. You could go with different teams. Yep. Um, boy. Really, really. Do you need me to just add a little down for you? No, no,

hold on. You don't know. I got to get him in my head. I got to miss him. I got Louisville in my head. I got BYU in my head. Um, do you have Washington to feel like I'm worth it to feel like we're both missing one. Do you feel like we're missing one Penn State? You're Penn State. No, let's see.

“I don't think I'm missing anybody. You're Penn State. No, you have to get reminded of Texas Tech Tom.”

The schedule of Penn State. I was reminded of. Yes, you were. You have literally, I was looking in your head. There was nothing for you forgetting BYU. I was just said BYU. I'm not saying you're forgetting it. I know you're forgetting. Give me Ole Miss. Oh, no. Wow. Wow. This Mississippi versus everybody Ole Miss comes off the board for Mississippi State. That's not a good idea. We will. All right. Who is you forgetting? I don't know. I was just trying

to fuck with them. Uh, God damn. I'm always aware of kids stuff. All right. I think I'm going to break

the G6 seal here. Give me Boise State. Plus. Okay. Blue turf. Do you see the blue turf Tom? I did. Well, it's right here. No, I know. We're on it. It's covered in confetti. Mm-hm. Thoughts and pairs do ever have to clean all this shit up. That might be, that might be the future though. Boise State covered in confetti. Mm-hm. For Tom for Deli. Mm-hm. Seven birds die every day here. I'm going to stop this. I'm going to land on that piece of carpet. Uh, okay. Give me Texas A&M.

I'm not super. I mean, you know, I want to be serious. I want to be serious. But I want to avoid. I'm not a huge Texas A&M, like believer, but this is what cost us Indiana last year. Sure, sure.

why you and Memphis. Yeah. I like that. Okay. So I'm done. The whole board is your sir.

No, wait. Are you 12? Oh, wait. Oh, I'm sorry. First, I was just looking at the number beside the Excel.

Yeah, you have three more picks. I did. I just shouldn't have done that then. Yeah, you have three more picks Tom. I thought we were done. I was looking at the number 12. Well, the Excel. Yeah.

“Brandon, you got to count your teams. Well, I didn't know you were starting at three. Who starts at three?”

Oh, you're not sufficient in Excel. Why do you start at three? These are my last two. No, you have one more after that. Oh, okay. Well, she has you went first. Fuck. Huh? Do you have three more? Brandon has two more. I'm going to go. Oh, Brandon, what did you do? Yeah. He got us. I know. I'm smarter by numbers. I did. No, he started at three. I will take advantage of the schedule and take Penn State. Yeah, good. Good pick. And then that would be something if Brandon's Penn State. Yeah. If his net news said Penn State was

breaking through about seven years in a row. Yeah. Oh, there's the, oh, they're not, give me S. M. U. I mean, there's a chance that a lot of stuff Penn State is. Yeah. It's going back. Jacks spelled S. M. U. Perfectly right. So that's good. Got you, Tom. All right, Brandon. Last two picks. That's the you're my favorite. Tennessee, Washington. Houston. Just take Louisville again. I could take Louisville. Yeah. It could take Louisville. Yeah. If you take Louisville again and they make it, I will give you two points.

Oh, haha. Not Washington. And the Florida game. Yeah. I was going to take Florida. That was a great pick. Great pick. Okay. So, so from the G6, we have Boise and Memphis right now. Yeah. Yeah. It's a couple of teams sitting out. Who else in the G6, you think, could, could get in?

Can I ask you any questions? You think you don't know if he's out of it or you think? I do. I don't think they could afford to lose that game. I think they're out of it. I think Memphis is a quarterback. Awesome pick because of that. He wasn't the problem. I mean, he, the office of

I was bad, but he also, he can't, he gets sacked every single time. It's always been that.

Give me, he ever heard the sacks are half a quarterbacks that. Never. Yeah. Give me Tennessee. I, what other G6s were, would you? Navy? Navy is not really wanted. Oh, that's always, well, God, Tennessee, the spelling. Hey, can I get Navy? Can I, can I support the troops? I'll take one on the side. I'll take Navy. And I'll take New Mexico. You feel like I have a quarterback. Yeah. That loves you. That's interesting. I ignore the Tennessee. That's fine. Use calls. That's good. Yeah. Now,

listen, Tennessee could use an A. Mm-hm. Yeah. Okay. Great job, Boise. Thanks. Robac, question, RHO, BAC, K, dot com, promo code, take, roback, dot com, promo code, take, Zach, roback, question. That's first question for Brandon. Brandon, how do you think today went and does, what do you say to the people who's that say Tom has you in a forever blender? Well, he doesn't

have me in a forever blender. That is absolutely wrong. First of all, he was a second guest on the

brand of walk calls for while show. I appreciate that. I beat him and walked into this room last year as the raining expert and y'all acted like it didn't count because it was a new season. So that's not a forever blender. You guys are doing the blending. I was the expert one year. You're there. We're tied at one time. This is the tiebreaker. If we combine scores, so it's not really that close. I beat the shit out of you a couple of years ago. Listen, you know what you want to live in the past.

“You can put you to live in the past. If you want to score, I'd destroy you. I had like the whole”

mail when you're talking to Brandon, you show your ring. Do you see him? You see that glitter? That's real. That's real. Yeah. That's real. That's real. We have Kate by the way at the end. Shine's real nice. By the way, you know what? As nice as I am, I'm going to share that cake with everybody here. Oh, that's what you're talking about. Go buy yourself. No, it's not. Yeah. Let's get back to you. You're going to forever blender. I'm not a forever blender. I was the winner

last year. You were saying you're in a forever blender. One of the worst places I'd say. The fact that you're even talking about the forever blender means your problem. He's in the forever there. Jack asked about it. Right. It's it's a topic of conversation. Sure. Come on. You kitchen eight. Was that the only question he had? Magic bullet. It was the rowback question. All right. Joe B. Yeah. Do a follow question for Tom Tom is someone who's currently ring on body

trophy to the side. There's anyone in close proximity that isn't currently a winner. How would you advise him to become a winner? Do you want to take his pants down? Do you want to take his pants down?

“So he just suck his dick right here on the desk. Yeah. Why do you have to go there?”

Jesus Christ. Why do we have to get sexual forever blender? Our just sitting here watching y'all doing a reach around for Tom. You know, Zach, it's a great question. No, it's a great question. It's a great question. It's a great question. We're giving a reach around and that means that we're we're, we're fucking him. That's what we're doing. I think the thing that you need more than anything

who will and I think that is the key. And then after that, it's just to know you got to take it one day at a time and you just got to wake up every day trying to be one percent better. And if you can do that, eventually you're going to be a hundred percent better. I love that. I love that. Here's I've got to love yourself first. I also stay humble. Stay humble. Stay hungry. How many? Well, you stay hungry all the time.

“Do you love your starving? I'm starving. Did they give card? I think brand. I don't think loving”

himself is a problem. No. I'm very in love with myself. He loves himself several times. There's a different kind of, there's a difference between loving yourself and being confident. I think. It's taking your chest out there. Yeah. I think it's co-host used to do that. Yeah. Fire.

I didn't. No. No. No. No. She's on Fox News right now. She did. I poised. This has always been the best.

We love having you guys on together and college football's back. That I may ask a question. Yeah. May I get a promise? Yeah. If I win this year, I get the same level of pop and circumstance next year. I cannot promise that because like Kyle Shanahan said, we can all die tomorrow. Right. If everybody's still around. Especially if you're on the road. Yeah. I will give you the exact same level of pop and circumstance. Tom and circumstance both. All right. I appreciate that. Fair enough.

I am not agreeing. I got half of it. I'm good. Yeah. So I'm going to give the half of it. Yeah. I'll get 50% of the pop and circumstance that Tom got today. I'm guaranteed of that. So like half a cake. $500. But you're not saying you won't do it. You're saying you're not, you're not going to eat Chick-fil-A gift cards. You're not guaranteeing it. Well, I'm not saying I'm not guaranteeing anything. I could take away half of the pop and circumstance. Why would you be at zero? How would you,

you can't take away half of it? I take away half if I brought in, let's say I bring in $500 cash and $150 with a Chick-fil-A gift cards and two confetti in a cupcake and a cupcake. And then I leave it out and big cat takes it all. Then that's just kind of what we're working on. And we just don't have poverty. When you say you might have some pomp, but the circumstances out the window. When you've

“sent someone to the store to get these supplies, how many confetti poppers did you tell them to get?”

Actually, Tom, I did not say any confetti poppers. He did that on his own, which was a beautiful, that's just Italian do you? Yes, it was a beautiful dice. That's for the cake, asked for the trophy, asked for the card, asked for the ring, the ribbon, the big scissors, all that stuff. But the confetti, he did not. That's an oddable confetti. He's got to be a Italian, right? With a name like that. Yeah, it's got ends in the night. Absolutely. All right,

Pure clothes lines? No clothes line. A member of sealed team six or UFC fighter. Not just an ABC, a member of sealed team six. What kind of a fight is it? Street fight. Street fight. Not a

“cage sanction fight. I think it's UFC fighter. I think that if there was any sort of weapon involved”

at all, the Navy sealer or special ops guy would do it. Is this at night? If it's at night, then I would go back to the sports guy. Yeah, and it's, I think the special forces guy would have better stem in a long term deal with pain long term, but in terms of like technical abilities, it gets around the ground. Yeah, there's nothing you can do for like a guy who is an incredible wrestler and grappler. I don't care how tough you are. You're just technically kind of fucked.

I think that like UFC fighter probably spends a hundred percent of his time training and hand to hand close quarters. Right. But a Navy seal probably spends, I don't know, I would say 30 percent of his time doing that. But the second you introduce any sort of weapon that I think UFC fighters did. It's like what? Like when people think that they can get into boxing and you're like, you don't understand how fast a boxer's hands are and the fact that they could, they could basically

punch you five times before you even get to them. Like that type of, it's just a different level.

“So Navy seals absolutely bad asses. Thank you for your service Navy seals. I think I think even”

Navy seals would probably admit that going against like a really, really good UFC fighter. Now, if you did like a guy who's, oh, I'm doing jiu-jitsu and I'm I'm training in UFC, like not actual like sanction UFC fighter yet. The Navy seal would fuck him up. But like a guy who's actually an accomplished UFC fighter pit on paper views that's in this scenario. I was envisioning like current rating champ patty the batty, rating champion in the UFC. Also, the thing I didn't think

about the second that this fight starts to happen, you're going to have like 12 other Navy seals

that crash the fight and just murder you and put your body somewhere they'll never be found.

Much like what we would do at Barstall Sports, if an Uber Eats driver came in and started you shit back y'all. Back y'all never say a word about him forever. Dearest New York Times best selling writers. I just started dating someone new. Also, fellow WAWL. I'm not completely sold on him quite yet. He's super nice, funny, lots of common, a real take home to your mom kind of guy. However, I'm pretty sure I could take him in a fight.

I was kind of given me the anti-smith voice. Oh, I'm also convinced to sex man up being a little bit vanilla because of this. How do I gently let him know that I'm looking for someone to pick me up and manhandle me in the loving respect for way of course? I'd have to know size breakdown here because

“I think sometimes like women don't understand the difference in strength. Like obviously they”

should never fight, but her saying oh I could take him in a fight. I don't know if that's true.

You know what I mean? Like if they're the same size I think the main sport is because he's nice. Yeah, like you've seen it. Oh, okay. Like he's a pussy. Hmm. So you need him to be a badass. She wants him to be a badass. How does she tell him she wants him to be badass? Well, it sounds like she wants him to be a badass when they're fucking if they fuck. Yeah. I think you just say like here's what I like. Yeah, but also badass in general, maybe like stage like a mugging and see his reaction.

And you're like if he shrieks, be like all right, we're broken up. That could be disappointing. Yeah. Yeah, you could stage something or I don't know. Yeah, I feel like communication is the right move. Just tell him to hate. This is I want you to want you to throw me around a little bit. I want you to be a badass.

Well, actually, you know what? Here's what we can do. So it's not targeted at this one guy. Just send him some crazy porn.

Yeah, this is war. Or buy him a gun. Yeah, but so what I'm saying is if we just blank it, statement to all AWS. Maybe just be like 15% more badass. What were all you guys? What was the first two lines of this? Because this is now people listening right now. There's definitely going to be a few guys that are like, oh shit. To start dating someone new, I'm not completely sold on him. He's super nice, funny,

lots and common. A real take home to your mom kind of guy. But in them, what was the other part? He's in AWL. Yeah. And she is as well. So yeah, there's going to be some hard. So maybe I'll be going to have some hard conversations in the mirror on Wednesday morning. Yeah, just when they hear this part of it. Just like crazy. Maybe, you know, button take, take a couple buttons down on the next date. Also, right back in if he does say like, hey, I was

listening and I think it's it's me. I'd be funny if a couple, a couple guys out of themselves is like, shit, I got to be more badass. You get to live a jacket, start smoking, get a motorcycle.

men should sit down to pee when they're at home. It's cleaner, no splash back. But if you're pelvic floor and empty as the bladder fully, that's a lie. I have been unsuccessful in convincing my husband. He should pick up on this habit. Can you please persuade him? Thanks. Wait, wait, what did you say? Like, when I take a shit and I pee, I feel like when I stand up, I self-depeating you. Yeah. So you can't, you can't I disagree with your bladder. I disagree with that. Here's some.

I've never really thought about that. Yeah. You never take a shit and then stay in

up to her. Oh, yeah. Well, I forget to pee sometimes. Yeah. So when you when you pee, when you poop, it's not a full pee. I agree with that. Yeah. You're there. That's a business trip. And then you're not necessarily thinking about number one. Jack's googling. This is a problem. I would say counterpoint lady. Go outside. Turn on your hose. Hold it in between your legs. Tell me how much fun you have.

“Okay. So that's what it is. That's what you're dealing with. Wait till it snows and trying to”

belly your name. Yeah. And tell me how fun that is. Why don't you try standing up to pee every time? Yeah. How about that? Go to go to put some ice in your toilet and see how much you can melt. Yeah. Yeah. How much fun you have. Go to a concert. And when you go to the bathroom, cut the amount of stalls in half and say you can only use this half and wait and line until that's ready. Okay. Or you could just crouch over the drain and be done. Now that said,

in the middle of the night, sometimes if I don't feel like standing up, if I'm very, very tired, I'll just go and I'll sit down and then I'll, like, then I'll stumble my way out of the bathroom.

Nothing wrong with that. Yeah. I should don't do never done that. You've never sat down to pee every

in your life. I've set up on my, if I'm like, yeah, like, if I'm like hurt, painfully off over. Yeah. That situation. But at night, I'll just, I'll just let it fly deal with the, whatever happens after. Because also I'm trying, night, I'm, I'm essentially trying to get in and out of the bathroom without waking up. So I do this fast. I can usually piss all over the floor. Don't care, deal with it in the morning and then like never open my eyes. If I sit down, I feel like I'd open my eyes.

No, that's, that's the thing. It's like the sit down is actually better for keeping your eyes close. So you wake up on the toilet. Yeah. That has happened. It has happened before. That's, you get yourself in that type of situation sometimes. Okay. Good show, boys. Good show.

“Numbers. Three. Five. Shansets 20, bees. What? That's what we just found out back here.”

That's some time. Instead of it's early enough in the morning. Like if I'm tired in the morning, I'm going to send, and if like middle of the night, that's when I'll do it. Or if you're a man waking up in the morning, it can be, you know, or your, your huge deck? Yeah, Shane Buset. Well, not him. He's just more, it's just more of, you know, your deck. How big your deck is. Wow, Shane. 99. 15. 7. You're out on the road.

69. 53. It's actually to take in Shane's hog and not Mount Rushmore. We're happy. Try peeing with mind, you know. Something to me. Something to me. 46. 46. I'm going to be more.

47. 47. Anybody? Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Happy birthday to Will Anderson. Happy birthday Terry Bradshaw. I'd birthday Kiana Reeves. Happy birthday to Raygon. Remember Rachel Gunn? The break dancer from Australia. Oh, yeah. Happy birthday.

That, you know what? I bet you, I bet you some NFL players are going to do a Raygon celebration.

“That's what it's like. But she actually was in the Olympics.”

Yeah, kiddo, I'm looking at you. You would do an incredible raygon.

And then Happy Birthday to Max Crosby. Love you guys. .
