- 3:31Speaker 1: How are you?
- 3:32Speaker 6: I'm doing very well, Ian. How are you, sir?
- 3:34Speaker 2: I'm good. We've got a lot. Finally, we've got that
- 3:37Speaker 2: schedule we've been waiting for in college football. We're so
- 3:40Speaker 2: excited for college football to start, Rob. And then you
- 3:42Speaker 2: get a week zero. Maybe there's a decent game week zero. Oftentimes,
- 3:46Speaker 2: maybe not even that. And then you get week one.
- 3:48Speaker 2: And maybe in the first couple, three weeks, you get
- 3:50Speaker 2: a couple games non-conference that are okay. Obviously, we've got Texas,
- 3:54Speaker 2: Ohio State, and stuff like that. But now, here we go, man.
- 3:57Speaker 2: It is the main event time. A lot of good
- 4:00Speaker 2: games this weekend, my friend.
- 4:01Speaker 7: Oh, a lot of excellent games. It's a little bit
- 4:04Speaker 7: like going into Farrelly's, getting yourself an appetizer. You're excited
- 4:07Speaker 7: about the pizza that's coming. The appetizer's pretty good those
- 4:10Speaker 7: first couple of weeks of the college football season. But
- 4:12Speaker 7: now is when that Northwest Classic, or excuse me, Northwest
- 4:15Speaker 7: Traditional comes. It really is a fantastic weekend of college football.
- 4:19Speaker 7: We've got six games in top 25 teams against each other.
- 4:23Speaker 7: We've got the Big Ten opener, of course, for University
- 4:26Speaker 7: of Washington as well. There's all kinds of really exciting
- 4:29Speaker 7: football matchups. I'm excited to break it down with you.
- 4:32Speaker 2: I was just thinking about the dad's bacon and cheddar
- 4:33Speaker 2: salad that I always start with at Pharrelli. It's absolutely fantastic.
- 4:37Speaker 2: Good way to get things started. All right, let's get
- 4:39Speaker 2: things started with you. We'll get through as many of
- 4:41Speaker 2: these as we can and just kind of power through
- 4:43Speaker 2: it because there might be more games that we can
- 4:46Speaker 2: get to today. But let's just start early, 9 a.m.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Let's go. We've got No. 1 Texas against No. 14 Tennessee.
- 4:52Speaker 2: We talk about Texas. We talk about Arch Manning. But
- 4:55Speaker 2: the volunteers have a couple dudes as well.
- 4:57Speaker 7: They really do, as you said. I mean, Arch Manning,
- 4:59Speaker 7: of course, is going to dominate the story today. Not
- 5:02Speaker 7: only because he is the top-ranked prospect and likely to
- 5:06Speaker 7: be the number one overall pick, but at the same time,
- 5:10Speaker 7: it's also his return, his family's return to New England
- 5:13Speaker 7: Stadium at the University of Tennessee. Of course, that's where
- 5:16Speaker 7: Peyton Manning played.
- 5:18Speaker 6: So I think that that's going to be a fascinating storyline.
- 5:21Speaker 7: But the Tennessee Volunteers have a couple of players on defense, Ian,
- 5:25Speaker 7: that I think are going to make Arch Manning's you know,
- 5:29Speaker 7: the Manning family's return to Tennessee, a little bit uncomfortable.
- 5:32Speaker 7: The linebacker area on Carter, number seven, is one of
- 5:37Speaker 7: the better linebackers in coverage that I've seen so far
- 5:40Speaker 7: this season. And his name might be familiar to some
- 5:43Speaker 7: NFL draft fans out there because for a little while there,
- 5:46Speaker 7: he actually had put his name into the 2026 NFL
- 5:50Speaker 7: draft before deciding to return to Knoxville. Again, he's number seven, 6'1, 235.
- 5:56Speaker 7: He's got nine passes broken up over his career. So, again,
- 6:00Speaker 7: he's better in space than he is as just a rusher.
- 6:03Speaker 7: We see so many linebackers. That's all they do is
- 6:05Speaker 7: rush the quarterback. To be a three-down linebacker in today's NFL,
- 6:08Speaker 7: you've got to be able to do it all, and
- 6:10Speaker 7: this kid can.
- 6:10Speaker 6: So I'm excited about him.
- 6:11Speaker 7: And then the cornerback, Caden Lee, number 14. And Caden
- 6:17Speaker 7: Lee is interesting because he is a transfer from Auburn,
- 6:21Speaker 7: And that is where Texas' top wide receiver, Cam Coleman,
- 6:26Speaker 7: also was a transfer from Auburn. So these guys know
- 6:29Speaker 7: each other for a long time here. Caden Lee only
- 6:32Speaker 7: has three interceptions over his college career, but he has
- 6:35Speaker 7: 17 pass breakups. So he makes a lot of plays
- 6:38Speaker 7: on the football. I'm fascinated by that one-on-one matchup on
- 6:42Speaker 7: the outside to Arch Manning's favorite receiver.
- 6:45Speaker 2: All right. Is Arch sliding at all? What are you
- 6:50Speaker 2: hearing about his draft status?
- 6:53Speaker 6: I don't think it's sliding.
- 6:54Speaker 7: I think that the perception is that he is the
- 6:59Speaker 7: number one overall player, and so if he has any
- 7:01Speaker 7: mistakes whatsoever, then I think they just get magnified. The
- 7:05Speaker 7: fact that he didn't have an impressive stat line this
- 7:08Speaker 7: past week against Ohio State Buckeyes, I think, again, there's
- 7:11Speaker 7: a lot of people out there who just look at
- 7:13Speaker 7: the box scores. But he had a couple of big plays,
- 7:16Speaker 7: including a drop from Cam Coleman that surprised me, as
- 7:19Speaker 7: well as a touchdown, an interception that was, you know,
- 7:22Speaker 7: basically his intended receiver, it was a dime of a throw.
- 7:27Speaker 7: The ball went through the receiver's hands and then into
- 7:29Speaker 7: the hands of a defensive back. So, of course, Arch
- 7:31Speaker 7: Manning on the statistics gets an interception, but it was
- 7:34Speaker 7: a heck of a throw. So I think that he
- 7:36Speaker 7: is not the polished, you know, final product type of
- 7:40Speaker 7: player that maybe people are expecting. But in terms of
- 7:44Speaker 7: just the physical upside that he possesses, I mean, his size,
- 7:47Speaker 7: his speed, his arm strength, this is not Peyton Manning
- 7:51Speaker 7: or Eli Manning all over again. This guy can motor.
- 7:54Speaker 7: And so because of that ability, I've always used the
- 7:56Speaker 7: comparison of Trevor Lawrence. It's going to take a little while,
- 8:00Speaker 7: but I think that he is very much a franchise
- 8:02Speaker 7: quarterback in weight.
- 8:04Speaker 2: All right, let's get to the next game. 1230's got
- 8:06Speaker 2: an incredible time slot coming up tomorrow, so We probably
- 8:10Speaker 2: won't get to all of them, but I want to
- 8:11Speaker 2: start with Oklahoma at number two, Georgia. It's been a
- 8:15Speaker 2: disappointing start for Oklahoma. Lost to Michigan. No one's happy
- 8:19Speaker 2: with John Mateer and OC Ben Arbuckle. But this is
- 8:22Speaker 2: a game I think you're watching both defenses, if I'm
- 8:25Speaker 2: not mistaken. Some studs on both sides on both defenses
- 8:29Speaker 2: for both the Bulldogs and for the Sooners.
- 8:31Speaker 7: Yeah, let's talk about the Bulldogs for a moment. They're
- 8:34Speaker 7: number two team in the country right now, at least
- 8:37Speaker 7: according to the.
- 8:38Speaker 6: AP coaches poll.
- 8:40Speaker 7: And I think that a lot of that has to
- 8:42Speaker 7: do with just the promise that Kirby Smart, as head coach,
- 8:46Speaker 7: of course, a defensive-minded guy, he's got a lot of
- 8:48Speaker 7: really young players that are going to be first-round or
- 8:52Speaker 7: second-round picks someday, but it remains to be seen how
- 8:55Speaker 7: many of them are going to wind up going to
- 8:58Speaker 7: the 2027 NFL draft. The first one I would mention
- 9:02Speaker 7: would be another off-ball linebacker, Chris Cole, number nine, 6'3,
- 9:05Speaker 7: 235 pounds, and Ian, the guy just moves so fluidly.
- 9:10Speaker 7: You can just see that he is going to be
- 9:11Speaker 7: a difference maker. The safety, KJ Bolden, is one of
- 9:15Speaker 7: the better just all-around safeties in the country. The young cornerback,
- 9:19Speaker 7: number one, Ellis Robinson IV. He's only a third-year sophomore.
- 9:23Speaker 7: But again, talk about guys who just move with such
- 9:26Speaker 7: agility and acceleration.
- 9:28Speaker 6: The game just seems to come easy to him.
- 9:30Speaker 7: He is a player that I think is potentially going
- 9:33Speaker 7: to be a top 15 type of a guy someday.
- 9:36Speaker 7: On the opposite side of Oklahoma, again, everybody's going to
- 9:38Speaker 7: talk about the quarterback, John Mateer.
- 9:40Speaker 6: I get that.
- 9:41Speaker 7: But if you're looking at it from a Seahawks perspective,
- 9:43Speaker 7: then the edge player, number 44 for Oklahoma, Taylor Wine,
- 9:47Speaker 7: to me is a really intriguing player. He's 6'4. He's
- 9:51Speaker 7: 265 pounds. He's really physical at the point of attack.
- 9:54Speaker 7: He's not the most explosive edge rusher. He doesn't have
- 9:56Speaker 7: that great twitch or that great flexibility. to dip under
- 10:01Speaker 7: the reach of tackles, but he's powerful and he's instinctive.
- 10:05Speaker 6: So I like him a lot.
- 10:06Speaker 7: David Stone, the defensive tackle, number 0, 6'3, 315-pounder, he
- 10:11Speaker 7: does have some of that twitch. He might be a
- 10:13Speaker 7: high first-round pick when it's all said and done. You
- 10:16Speaker 7: just see great initial quickness. considering the fact he's 315 pounds.
- 10:20Speaker 7: That's pretty unusual. But I want to see a little
- 10:23Speaker 7: bit more consistency with him.
- 10:25Speaker 2: Problem is, Rob, that when people are talking about John Mateer,
- 10:28Speaker 2: they're not talking in positive terms down in Norman, Oklahoma
- 10:31Speaker 2: right now. All right, let's get to number– God, Mississippi
- 10:35Speaker 2: coming off Ole Miss, coming off that massive win against LSU.
- 10:38Speaker 2: They're up to number four in the rankings. They go to–
- 10:41Speaker 2: how about Florida? New coach, new year. Old Florida starting
- 10:44Speaker 2: to come back. They're in the top 25, ranked number
- 10:46Speaker 2: 21 in the country. I got to start with Trinidad Chambliss, man.
- 10:50Speaker 2: I just, I love this player. I hated when he
- 10:52Speaker 2: went against Wazoo last year, but just feels like a
- 10:54Speaker 2: special talent. Also feels like if he was two inches taller,
- 10:57Speaker 2: we'd be talking about him in the top 10 and
- 10:59Speaker 2: top five of the draft. But Trinidad Chambliss, Ole Miss
- 11:02Speaker 2: taking on Florida on ABC at 1230.
- 11:05Speaker 6: And you're such a pro, sir.
- 11:08Speaker 7: You could be doing this job as a scout because
- 11:10Speaker 7: I think that you're absolutely right. I don't care that
- 11:12Speaker 7: he's two inches shorter, you know, that, you know, I
- 11:15Speaker 7: think he might wind up being a top 10, top
- 11:17Speaker 7: five pick anyway. He actually measured in officially at 5'11
- 11:21Speaker 7: and 7'8, so just under that six-foot marker, you know,
- 11:25Speaker 7: that a lot of teams like to use. But, of course,
- 11:27Speaker 7: you think about some of the shorter quarterbacks that have
- 11:30Speaker 7: had some success in the NFL, and everybody initially points
- 11:33Speaker 7: to Kyler Murray. But I also mentioned guys like a
- 11:35Speaker 7: Baker Mayfield or a Russell Wilson or Brock Purdy, who's 6'1.
- 11:40Speaker 7: You know, again, these guys that are a little bit
- 11:42Speaker 7: short but have really thick builds are I think that
- 11:45Speaker 7: because of their compact frame, they actually allows them to
- 11:49Speaker 7: be a little bit more durable than maybe some of
- 11:52Speaker 7: the other so-called undersized quarterbacks. And he is a gamer.
- 11:56Speaker 7: I mean, my goodness, he is a quality scrambler. He's
- 11:59Speaker 7: not a run first guy. He is very much a
- 12:01Speaker 7: pass first guy. And just his story is so fascinating.
- 12:04Speaker 7: Very under-recruited, originally at Ferris State as a backup. Then
- 12:09Speaker 7: when it was his turn, they just won a national championship.
- 12:11Speaker 7: He goes to Ole Miss last year, again, as a backup.
- 12:15Speaker 7: But when there was an injury to the starter, he
- 12:17Speaker 7: took over the reins. And, of course, they got themselves
- 12:19Speaker 7: into the playoffs. The dynamic win you mentioned against LSU
- 12:23Speaker 7: this past week. And then last year against Georgia, really
- 12:27Speaker 7: open eyes. That's my latest article at FoxSports.com right now.
- 12:30Speaker 7: I try to put the binoculars on. And I always
- 12:34Speaker 7: take quarterbacks and try to evaluate them through the lens
- 12:37Speaker 7: of what I call the five A's. I'm always evaluating
- 12:40Speaker 7: quarterbacks on their awareness, their anticipation. their accuracy, their athletic ability,
- 12:48Speaker 7: and then just their attitude. And that's one of the
- 12:50Speaker 7: things about Trinidad Chandler. He's got the attitude that you
- 12:53Speaker 7: want the quarterback position. The guy is just a winner.
- 12:56Speaker 7: Throw some of the measurables out the window and just
- 12:58Speaker 7: watch the kid play football. This guy is a future
- 13:00Speaker 7: franchise quarterback. I think that he is a first round
- 13:03Speaker 7: caliber player. and would be selected as such if the
- 13:06Speaker 7: draft were today.
- 13:06Speaker 2: A couple of pretty good running backs in that game
- 13:08Speaker 2: as well. Rob, Mississippi and Florida. Kiwan Lacey from Ole Miss.
- 13:13Speaker 2: And Florida's got a heck of a running back in
- 13:15Speaker 2: Jaden Baugh.
- 13:16Speaker 6: They really do. I mean, that to me, again, everybody's
- 13:18Speaker 6: going to focus on the quarterback. I get it.
- 13:20Speaker 7: And it's certainly going to be a fun evaluation to
- 13:22Speaker 7: see how Trinidad Chambliss handles the swamp. But at the
- 13:25Speaker 7: same time, to me, the reason why this game is
- 13:28Speaker 7: so interesting is is because of their running back talent.
- 13:30Speaker 7: I would argue these are the two best running back
- 13:33Speaker 7: prospects for this upcoming draft. And it's kind of a
- 13:36Speaker 7: sneaky need for the Seahawks. Obviously, they invested their first-round
- 13:40Speaker 7: selection this past year.
- 13:41Speaker 6: In Jadar Amprice.
- 13:42Speaker 7: But with Zach Charbonnet, a pending free agent, as well
- 13:45Speaker 7: as Emmanuel Wilson, Seattle might be considering a running back
- 13:48Speaker 7: earlier than most Seahawks fans would anticipate.
- 13:51Speaker 6: He won Lacey. I mean, he's just as dynamic as
- 13:53Speaker 6: it gets.
- 13:54Speaker 7: I've used the comparison before with Devon Achan. The dynamic
- 13:59Speaker 7: smaller running back for the Miami Dolphins. I mean, he
- 14:03Speaker 7: is a guy that, again, is just so quick.
- 14:05Speaker 6: And so accelerates so smoothly.
- 14:08Speaker 7: And he answered a lot of questions about durability a
- 14:12Speaker 7: year ago with how dynamic he was. He has struggled
- 14:15Speaker 7: a little bit with injury so far this season. So
- 14:17Speaker 7: that bears watching. But Jaden Baugh is a dude. I mean,
- 14:21Speaker 7: he is exactly the type of player that John Schneider
- 14:23Speaker 7: has preferred in the past. He's 5'10, he's 230 pounds.
- 14:27Speaker 7: He almost plays a little bit like what we saw
- 14:29Speaker 7: from Emmanuel Wilson this past week against the Arizona Cardinals,
- 14:32Speaker 7: where he is just trucking guys and is.
- 14:34Speaker 6: Much quicker to and through the hole than you'd expect. Again,
- 14:38Speaker 6: 230 pounds.
- 14:38Speaker 7: He's got three runs of over 50 yards just this season.
- 14:43Speaker 7: So I'm really excited to see what he's going to
- 14:44Speaker 7: do against Ole Miss this weekend.
- 14:46Speaker 2: Rob Brang brought to you by Farrelly's Pizza. Farrelly'sPizza.com. Check

- 15:05Speaker 2: number 19. Number 17, Iowa, number 19, Michigan. Kyle Whittingham's
- 15:08Speaker 2: first year there. mostly because I think you just want
- 15:11Speaker 2: to talk about guys in the line of scrimmage, and
- 15:12Speaker 2: so I'll let you do that, my friend.
- 15:15Speaker 7: Well, again, you talked about Pirelli and the cheese sticks.
- 15:18Speaker 7: I think that there are a couple of guys that
- 15:20Speaker 7: play for the Iowa Hawkeyes and Michigan Wolverines. That's traditional
- 15:23Speaker 7: Big Ten football, where it's not so much the skill position, guys.
- 15:27Speaker 7: It is the big boys on both sides of the
- 15:29Speaker 7: line of scrimmage. There's a couple of individual one-on-one matchups
- 15:33Speaker 7: that I think are fascinating. Number 59 for Iowa, the
- 15:37Speaker 7: left tackle, Trevor Locke, 6'5, 314-pounder. He's one of those
- 15:42Speaker 7: guys that is just as clean on tape as you get. But,
- 15:46Speaker 7: of course, he's one of those players that the scouts
- 15:48Speaker 7: are going to nitpick a little bit because there's some
- 15:51Speaker 7: question about his arm length. We've had that conversation how
- 15:55Speaker 7: many times over the years. But the guy is a
- 15:57Speaker 7: terrific player, and he's going to be going up against
- 16:00Speaker 7: a couple of really talented Michigan pass rushers. We've talked
- 16:03Speaker 7: about John Henry Daly before. He followed Kyle Whittingham. from
- 16:08Speaker 7: Utah to Michigan. I think he's a star. Number 90,
- 16:11Speaker 7: he's not the flashiest guy, but again, just powerful and instinctive. 6'5,
- 16:16Speaker 7: 252 pounds. Dom Nichols is kind of the opposite. He
- 16:21Speaker 7: is much flashier athlete, and he's just a pup. He's
- 16:25Speaker 7: only a third-year junior, but you can see the twitch
- 16:28Speaker 7: to him. He's 6'5, he's 245 pounds. I think he's
- 16:30Speaker 7: a little raw, but still, you can see that he
- 16:33Speaker 7: is going to be a big-time player. And then finally,
- 16:35Speaker 7: I've mentioned a player in Cade Piper, number 58. He's
- 16:39Speaker 7: the right guard that actually probably is going to project
- 16:42Speaker 7: better to center position in the NFL.
- 16:44Speaker 6: He also was for Iowa.
- 16:46Speaker 7: Again, 6'3, he's 290 pounds, a little bit undersized with
- 16:49Speaker 7: what NFL teams traditionally like, but he might be the
- 16:52Speaker 7: quickest offensive lineman I've seen off the line so far
- 16:56Speaker 7: this season, Ian. And of course, that is one of
- 16:58Speaker 7: the things that John Benton and the Seahawks and their
- 17:01Speaker 7: traditionally wide zone offense, they're definitely sprinkling in some more things.
- 17:05Speaker 7: But he is the type of player that I think
- 17:07Speaker 7: that John Benton would absolutely love.
- 17:09Speaker 2: All right, Rob, let's get to a couple of late games.
- 17:11Speaker 2: I'll start first with number 20, Oregon, number 12, USC.
- 17:14Speaker 2: Let's just go right here. Let's just right go to
- 17:16Speaker 2: the quarterbacks. Dante Moore, Jordan Maieva.
- 17:20Speaker 7: You know, it's interesting because Dante Moore, to me, has
- 17:22Speaker 7: all the traits that you're looking for.
- 17:24Speaker 6: I want to see him put it together. And we've
- 17:27Speaker 6: seen flashes of it. I mean, for a couple of years.
- 17:30Speaker 7: But he has just struggled with inconsistency and obviously the
- 17:33Speaker 7: loss to Oklahoma state a couple of weeks ago, you
- 17:36Speaker 7: just wanted to see him, you know, put the, put
- 17:38Speaker 7: the ducks on his back, so to speak, and then
- 17:40Speaker 7: just lead them to the victory.
- 17:42Speaker 6: I think this is his opportunity to do that.
- 17:44Speaker 7: Oklahoma state to me that that game, I certainly chalk
- 17:48Speaker 7: up a little bit to Oregon, just kind of overlooking
- 17:51Speaker 7: Oklahoma state.
- 17:52Speaker 6: This is the game that everybody's eyes are going to
- 17:54Speaker 6: be on.
- 17:54Speaker 7: Cause as you mentioned, it's, It's an opportunity to go
- 17:57Speaker 7: up against USC, Jaden Maiava, who is not as gifted
- 18:01Speaker 7: of a player, I would say, as Dante Moore, but
- 18:03Speaker 7: he just does all the little things right. He doesn't
- 18:05Speaker 7: have the biggest arm. He's certainly not a dynamic athlete.
- 18:08Speaker 7: He's more of a traditional kind of drop-back passer. He
- 18:11Speaker 7: can scramble when he needs to, but he is a
- 18:13Speaker 7: survey-the-field type of a guy and then just delivers consistently
- 18:16Speaker 7: catchable balls. I've been impressed by the improvement that he
- 18:20Speaker 7: has shown, despite the fact that USC, of course, lost
- 18:24Speaker 7: two wide receivers to the NFL last Malachi Lemon and
- 18:28Speaker 7: then Jacoby Lane, both being early draft picks, both flashing
- 18:32Speaker 7: early on in their respective NFL careers.
- 18:35Speaker 6: But Jaden Maiava is taking strides. So this to me,
- 18:37Speaker 6: you can talk.
- 18:38Speaker 7: About all the guys you want to talk about, USC
- 18:41Speaker 7: and Oregon, a load along the line of scrimmage. This
- 18:43Speaker 7: is the game I want to see the quarterbacks basically
- 18:45Speaker 7: just go mano a mano and see who can wind
- 18:47Speaker 7: up as the winner.
- 18:49Speaker 2: I'm going to serve this as almost a preview because
- 18:52Speaker 2: you know what? I'm all here for the Husky fans.
- 18:54Speaker 2: I'm here for you guys, dog fans. I'm one of you, right?
- 18:57Speaker 2: Here we go. Help you out. I joke. Certainly joke.
- 19:01Speaker 2: But 8 o'clock tomorrow on Fox, Minnesota at Washington. We
- 19:05Speaker 2: know about Washington. We know about DeMond Williams and everything else.
- 19:08Speaker 2: Let's talk about just a couple matchups. First of all,
- 19:12Speaker 2: before I get to the matchup on the line of
- 19:14Speaker 2: scrimmage with Anthony Smith, the edge for Minnesota, against Washington's
- 19:18Speaker 2: right tackle. Give us a little feel for what Drake Lindsey,
- 19:21Speaker 2: the quarterback from Minnesota, is all about. At least in
- 19:24Speaker 2: terms of looking at the numbers, he looks like your
- 19:26Speaker 2: prototypical NFL quarterback at 6'5, 230.
- 19:30Speaker 6: Exactly. That's the thing. It's such a contrast.
- 19:33Speaker 7: You've got DeMauro Williams, who maybe is 5'10, 190 pounds.
- 19:37Speaker 7: But at the same time, I mentioned Kyler Murray before.
- 19:41Speaker 7: That's who DeMauro Williams has always reminded me of. He's
- 19:45Speaker 7: just such a dynamic athlete. who happens to be a
- 19:47Speaker 7: pretty pretty inaccurate passer as well. So really intriguing talent.
- 19:52Speaker 7: But again, you worry about the size. Whereas with Drake Lindsay,
- 19:56Speaker 7: he is not nearly the dynamic athlete, but six foot five,
- 19:59Speaker 7: 230 pounds with an absolute rocket for an arm. You know,
- 20:03Speaker 7: he is a really interesting player. And that's one of
- 20:06Speaker 7: the things that I've noticed about P.J. Fleck, the head
- 20:09Speaker 7: coach for Minnesota, is that he finds some of these
- 20:11Speaker 7: guys who are a little bit raw and then just
- 20:13Speaker 7: develops them.
- 20:15Speaker 6: So with Drake Lindsey, he's only a redshirt sophomore.
- 20:18Speaker 7: He has got a lot of growth that needs to
- 20:20Speaker 7: happen before he is going to become a legitimate NFL prospect.
- 20:23Speaker 6: But he is not just some guy.
- 20:26Speaker 7: He is a player that I think the NFL scouts
- 20:29Speaker 7: are already very much paying attention to. And I'm curious
- 20:33Speaker 7: to see how he handles the pressure of the Big
- 20:35Speaker 7: Ten opener on the road at Montlake.
- 20:38Speaker 2: What's the line of scrimmage battle you're watching?
- 20:40Speaker 6: Well, you mentioned it.
- 20:41Speaker 7: Their edge rusher for Minnesota, Anthony Smith, is a guy
- 20:45Speaker 7: that he had 12 and a half sacks a year ago.
- 20:48Speaker 6: I mean, so, of course, he is somebody that you're
- 20:50Speaker 6: going to watch.
- 20:52Speaker 7: And I think that his matchup primarily likely to be
- 20:56Speaker 7: against the right tackle, Drew, as a party. who to
- 21:00Speaker 7: me is UW's best player on offense, at least for
- 21:04Speaker 7: this 2027 NFL draft, maybe even their best prospect. Anthony
- 21:09Speaker 7: Smith does not have that elite speed, but he is 6'5,
- 21:14Speaker 7: he's 250 pounds, and he is a guy that can
- 21:17Speaker 7: be very physical at the point of attack. And so
- 21:20Speaker 7: with Drew as a party, 6'7, 320 pounds, physicality is
- 21:23Speaker 7: not the issue. It's just sometimes he can get a
- 21:25Speaker 7: little bit too high and guys can kind of bull
- 21:28Speaker 7: rush him. that to me is going to be a
- 21:29Speaker 7: really fun matchup that may wind up determining what a
- 21:32Speaker 7: game that I think is going to be closer than
- 21:35Speaker 7: some are anticipating.
- 21:36Speaker 2: Rob, great stuff as always, my friend. Enjoy the games
- 21:40Speaker 2: this weekend. I know in Rob Rang Central, the TVs
- 21:44Speaker 2: will be going, the notepad will be out, and away
- 21:47Speaker 2: you go because this is our best weekend yet in
- 21:50Speaker 2: college football. So can't wait for that. Can't wait to
- 21:52Speaker 2: talk to you next week. And I should also mention
- 21:54Speaker 2: our friends, At Farrelly's, they've got a football, fall football menu.
- 21:57Speaker 2: Buffalo chicken dip, kicking stuffed jalapenos, which look sensational. Kraken
- 22:02Speaker 2: brought in a hoodie as well. So go check it
- 22:05Speaker 2: out all at Farrelly'sPizza.com. Final location near you. And again,
- 22:08Speaker 2: they open up at 930 on Sunday morning for the
- 22:10Speaker 2: Seahawks and the Commanders. Thank you, my friend.
- 22:12Speaker 6: Thank you, Ian.
- 22:13Speaker 1: There you go.
- 22:13Speaker 2: That's Rob Rang. We'll take a break. Come back. Factor
- 22:15Speaker 2: Fiction and Booze News still to come.
- 22:21Speaker 8: What would really make me happy is if ownership was gone,
- 22:23Speaker 8: but that's not going to happen. So this team really
- 22:25Speaker 8: seemed to underperform, had no energy, had no oomph, and
- 22:28Speaker 8: that really came across as coming from management and the
- 22:31Speaker 8: coaching staff. So I want Dan gone. I don't want
- 22:35Speaker 8: him embarrassed or disrespected, so however they need to do
- 22:37Speaker 8: it to make it so it's respectful, do it. The
- 22:39Speaker 8: fact we almost got to the World Series last year
- 22:41Speaker 8: stays off execution for Jerry. So he gets to put
- 22:45Speaker 8: in his own staff in place and see how it goes,
- 22:48Speaker 8: but that's my.
- 22:49Speaker 2: Wish is to.
- 22:54Speaker 6: Next.
- 22:56Speaker 2: Ian, my guy, happy Friday. Happy Friday.
- 22:59Speaker 9: I'm not going to say who, but some people support DePoto, even.
- 23:03Speaker 2: On this station, and I'm sick of it.
- 23:06Speaker 9: Dude, Dan Wilson's awful, but it ain't Dan Wilson that
- 23:09Speaker 9: brought in Pollocks and Wards and Wongs and Refschneiders, Tellez, Solano,
- 23:13Speaker 9: et cetera, trading Graveman for Abraham Toro, the analytics approach,
- 23:17Speaker 9: the flip-flop lineups, the righty-lefty approach, every single day meeting
- 23:21Speaker 9: with the manager. DePoto needs to go.
- 23:24Speaker 2: All right. You have one more, Ash? Hey, Ian and Ashley.
- 23:28Speaker 4: I really want to thank you for your words about
- 23:30Speaker 4: Rick Riz. I'm definitely going to miss him. There's a
- 23:33Speaker 4: lot to be angry about this Mariner season, but the
- 23:36Speaker 4: thing that really just bums me out and gets me
- 23:39Speaker 4: a little bit depressed is this. We never got to
- 23:41Speaker 4: hear Dave Niehaus call a Mariner World Series, and now
- 23:45Speaker 4: we're never going to hear Rick Riz call a Mariner
- 23:47Speaker 4: World Series. That's depressing. That's depressing.
- 23:53Speaker 2: I would agree.
- 23:54Speaker 1: I would agree.
- 23:54Speaker 2: Good talk backs today. I didn't even open up the
- 23:57Speaker 2: text line, so away we go. I do have a
- 24:02Speaker 2: fact check on Ian. Errors, an error, an omission. Let
- 24:07Speaker 2: me clarify this. I said earlier with, was it Cosell
- 24:10Speaker 2: or somebody? I don't even know. The Bengals. It's who day?
- 24:15Speaker 5: Yes.
- 24:15Speaker 9: D-E-Y.
- 24:16Speaker 2: Who day?
- 24:17Speaker 5: Who dad is the Saints?
- 24:18Speaker 2: Who dad is the Saints?
- 24:20Speaker 6: Yes.
- 24:20Speaker 2: Who day is the Bengals?
- 24:22Speaker 3: Imagine how confusing it is, though, when the.
- 24:24Speaker 5: Two play each other.
- 24:24Speaker 2: If they play each other, that'd be brutal. Wait, they
- 24:26Speaker 2: play each other this week, don't they?
- 24:28Speaker 3: No.
- 24:29Speaker 6: No.
- 24:29Speaker 2: Who do the Saints play?
- 24:30Speaker 5: Bengals and Steelers.
- 24:32Speaker 2: That's right. That's Bengals-Steelers. Sorry. Who day? And then I
- 24:35Speaker 2: did some extensive research. Who day? There was a beer
- 24:40Speaker 2: call at the old Riverfront Stadium called... Hootapole, Hootapole's beer. Hootie,
- 24:47Speaker 2: they called it. Hootie.
- 24:49Speaker 4: Hootie.
- 24:50Speaker 2: And that's where it came from. They say, hey, you
- 24:52Speaker 2: want a beer?
- 24:52Speaker 6: Hootie.
- 24:53Speaker 5: Hootie.
- 24:54Speaker 1: Hootie.
- 24:54Speaker 2: And then Hootie, Hootie, Hootie going to beat them Bengals.
- 24:57Speaker 2: Pretty much everybody back then, but that's fine. That was
- 25:00Speaker 2: my error and omission for today. Let's get to Factor Fiction.
- 25:04Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, let's do it.
- 25:06Speaker 2: We're set to go.
- 25:07Speaker 6: Glad you're with us.

- 26:15Speaker 2: I just don't do this.
- 26:16Speaker 5: Sorry, the eagle hawk got stuck.
- 26:18Speaker 2: I saw that. I do not normally do this. It's
- 26:21Speaker 2: against every fiber of my being, but I'm doing it.
- 26:25Speaker 2: You suggested it, and I'm going with it. I won't
- 26:28Speaker 2: even blame you if it doesn't turn into a win.
- 26:30Speaker 3: Well, that does make me feel better because I was like, oh, man,
- 26:32Speaker 3: I hope I.
- 26:33Speaker 5: Get this right.
- 26:33Speaker 2: Okay. So Giants and Titans on Sunday in East Rutherford,
- 26:40Speaker 2: New Jersey. What do you call it? A nor'easter?
- 26:43Speaker 5: That's right.
- 26:45Speaker 2: Kickoff at 1 o'clock. Winds, 19 to 20 miles an hour. Gus,
- 26:51Speaker 2: double that. Rain, 90% chance. Pouring rain, heavy winds.
- 26:59Speaker 5: And two terrible teams.
- 27:00Speaker 2: Two terrible teams. Jameis Winston, Cam Newton, Cam Newton, Cam Ward,
- 27:08Speaker 2: and the Titans against the Giants. Malik Nabors will definitely
- 27:13Speaker 2: tap out of this game. 100% he won't play. Or
- 27:16Speaker 2: if he does, he'll be out after three or four plays.
- 27:20Speaker 2: The line, the over-under is 38.5. I'm going under.
- 27:25Speaker 5: I like it.
- 27:27Speaker 2: I don't think those two teams could score 38 points
- 27:29Speaker 2: in two games.
- 27:29Speaker 5: I don't think they could.
- 27:30Speaker 2: Much less one.
- 27:31Speaker 5: I don't think they could.
- 27:32Speaker 2: So horrible weather, horrible football teams. You guys all saw
- 27:36Speaker 2: Jameis on Monday. How'd that turn out? Not good. And
- 27:41Speaker 2: Cam's still trying to get his skis underneath. They're going
- 27:43Speaker 2: to try to run the ball, both teams.
- 27:44Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
- 27:46Speaker 2: Yeah, under 38.5. That's the combined score. If you agree, fact, 49451.
- 27:51Speaker 2: If you disagree, fiction, 49451. See, and the nice thing
- 27:55Speaker 2: is you get that little hook.
- 27:56Speaker 5: So they score a 38, you still win.
- 27:58Speaker 2: The hook is everything. The hook, ladies and gentlemen, is everything.
- 28:03Speaker 5: Brings you back.
- 28:04Speaker 2: Text, 49451. Fact, if you agree, 49451. Fiction, if you disagree.
- 28:10Speaker 2: Bad weather, heavy winds, heavy rains. Heavy winds, heavy rains.
- 28:17Speaker 2: Grammar's taking it. Have we started booze news already? Did
- 28:19Speaker 2: we already do that?
- 28:20Speaker 5: Oh, I did spike your drink earlier.
- 28:21Speaker 2: Oh, thank you.
- 28:22Speaker 6: Okay.
- 28:23Speaker 2: That's an easy under. It has gone down. It was
- 28:26Speaker 2: higher earlier.
- 28:27Speaker 3: Oh.
- 28:27Speaker 2: But I got it at 38.5, and I'm sticking with that.
- 28:30Speaker 5: That's right.
- 28:31Speaker 2: I think by the time it's all said and done,
- 28:32Speaker 2: that number's going to go down even lower. Yeah, it's
- 28:35Speaker 2: going to go down even lower when it's all said
- 28:37Speaker 2: and done.
- 28:37Speaker 3: I was surprised when I looked that it hadn't changed
- 28:38Speaker 3: from yesterday. I was like, ooh, they must not have
- 28:41Speaker 3: gotten the memo on that storm.
- 28:42Speaker 2: No, it did change since yesterday. It's gone down, but
- 28:44Speaker 2: it's continued. It's going to go down even more. Yeah,
- 28:47Speaker 2: so nor'easter, bad wind, bad rain, bad teams, 38.5. Fact
- 28:53Speaker 2: 49451 if you disagree. Fiction 49451. I don't think in
- 28:57Speaker 2: the history of fact or fiction I've ever done an under.
- 29:01Speaker 9: Really?
- 29:01Speaker 2: It's everything I'm against.
- 29:03Speaker 5: Breaking news.
- 29:04Speaker 2: Rooting for things not to happen I don't like.
- 29:07Speaker 5: I don't either.
- 29:07Speaker 3: But again, I don't like it. But sometimes you've got
- 29:09Speaker 3: to make choices with your head and not your heart.
- 29:12Speaker 2: It's a choice.
- 29:12Speaker 1: Yep.
- 29:13Speaker 2: Like, for example, last night I spent the entire night
- 29:15Speaker 2: rooting for something not to happen.
- 29:17Speaker 5: Yes.
- 29:17Speaker 2: And it did happen because B. John Robinson kept running
- 29:20Speaker 2: the football effectively and putting ballers in the end zone.
- 29:23Speaker 2: So that, I hate rooting against things happening. Did it
- 29:27Speaker 2: once this week. Now I'm doing it twice.
- 29:29Speaker 1: Yes.
- 29:30Speaker 2: But I'm in.
- 29:31Speaker 6: You got this.
- 29:31Speaker 5: You got this.
- 29:32Speaker 2: I'm 100% in. Fact 49451. Fiction 49451. You made it.
- 29:40Speaker 2: your pick. Do you think the game's going to stay
- 29:42Speaker 2: on the under 38.5? Titans and Giants in East Rutherford,
- 29:46Speaker 2: New Jersey. And that stadium does get windy. It's weird
- 29:49Speaker 2: because it kind of looks like this big bowl, but
- 29:51Speaker 2: it does get windy in there, and it swirls around.
- 29:53Speaker 2: Field goals would probably be impossible.
- 29:55Speaker 5: And throwing the ball.
- 29:56Speaker 2: I mean, they're already bad. Yeah, Jameis can't throw it anyway.
- 29:59Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 29:59Speaker 2: So, I think it'll happen.
- 30:00Speaker 5: Good luck.
- 30:01Speaker 2: Yeah, and Scataboo. And then when Neighbors goes, ah, I
- 30:03Speaker 2: think something hurt here. I don't know what it is,
- 30:06Speaker 2: but I'm hurt. I'm out.
- 30:07Speaker 5: Ouchie.
- 30:09Speaker 2: Booze News next.
- 30:17Speaker 5: Okay, I'm Ashley and this is the Booze News. Are
- 30:19Speaker 5: you ready for this?
- 30:20Speaker 2: Cheers.
- 30:20Speaker 5: It's a rainy Friday. We're headed for the weekend. Ready
- 30:23Speaker 5: for some bevvies.
- 30:24Speaker 3: Booze News sponsored by Tito's Handmade Vodka, proud sponsor of
- 30:27Speaker 3: the Seattle Seahawks.
- 30:29Speaker 2: I see what you're doing here, by the way.
- 30:30Speaker 4: Go ahead.
- 30:30Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
- 30:31Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
- 30:31Speaker 6: No, you're good.
- 30:32Speaker 3: Distilled from corn and bottled by Fifth Generation Inc.
- 30:34Speaker 5: Austin, Texas. 40% alcohol by volume. Savor responsibly. And what
- 30:37Speaker 5: do you see?
- 30:39Speaker 2: You know I'm not normally a vodka guy. I know
- 30:41Speaker 2: it's sponsored by Tito's. So this is second week in
- 30:44Speaker 2: a row. I'm sitting here finishing a show, having a
- 30:46Speaker 2: little vodka drink.
- 30:47Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 30:48Speaker 2: And not hating it.
- 30:50Speaker 5: Oh, good. So this one I thought you might like
- 30:52Speaker 5: better than last week.
- 30:53Speaker 2: I liked last week's.
- 30:54Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 30:55Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 30:55Speaker 2: This one's fine.
- 30:56Speaker 5: Okay, good.
- 30:57Speaker 2: Now, I do notice this. I don't know what you're saying.
- 30:59Speaker 2: It's low-cal every time.
- 31:00Speaker 5: That's because that's what I like. Okay, well, I'm good.
- 31:02Speaker 3: If I'm drinking vodka. Otherwise, I mean, I drink wine,
- 31:04Speaker 3: which is not normally. But if I drink vodka, I
- 31:07Speaker 3: want my.
- 31:07Speaker 5: Wait, what? Yeah, right?
- 31:08Speaker 2: Wine's not low-cal?
- 31:10Speaker 1: No.
- 31:10Speaker 5: Breaking news again. All right, let's get right into it, Ian.
- 31:13Speaker 2: Let's do it.
- 31:13Speaker 3: Because once again, the booze news is pretty boozy. For
- 31:16Speaker 3: some reason, booze stories are making all of the headlines
- 31:19Speaker 3: this week. The NFL fined 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk for
- 31:24Speaker 3: his celebration during their 35-13 win over the Miami Dolphins. Now, Juszczyk,
- 31:28Speaker 3: this was his celebration for everybody on YouTube and for you.
- 31:31Speaker 3: He basically put his hands up and pretended like he
- 31:34Speaker 3: was chugging something. He wasn't like, this is a beer.
- 31:38Speaker 3: He just was chugging something. His nickname is Juice. He
- 31:41Speaker 3: does this all the time. He's been doing this celebration
- 31:42Speaker 3: for years.
- 31:43Speaker 2: How did the NFL know it was beer?
- 31:45Speaker 3: They just assumed, probably because they're sponsored by a lot
- 31:49Speaker 3: of beer people, right?
- 31:51Speaker 5: Isn't Bud Light the main sponsor of the NFL?
- 31:52Speaker 2: I was just looking to see that. I think it is.
- 31:55Speaker 2: Bud Light, the official beer and hard seltzer sponsor of
- 31:57Speaker 2: the NFL.
- 31:58Speaker 5: There you go.
- 31:59Speaker 2: Multi-year sponsorship.
- 32:00Speaker 5: Maybe they were mad it wasn't hard seltzer.
- 32:02Speaker 2: Billions of dollars, yeah.
- 32:03Speaker 5: Yes, maybe that's what it was.
- 32:05Speaker 2: That is the dumbest thing I've heard all week.
- 32:07Speaker 5: It was really dumb.
- 32:08Speaker 3: And so the NFL, so they found it to be
- 32:10Speaker 3: an offensive demonstration. This was an offensive demonstration.
- 32:14Speaker 2: What I'm doing right now?
- 32:15Speaker 5: Yeah. And he wasn't even drinking an actual beer.
- 32:18Speaker 3: Like if he pulled out a beer out of his
- 32:20Speaker 3: pants and started drinking that, sure, you could.
- 32:22Speaker 5: Get him in trouble. But he wasn't even drinking a beer.
- 32:23Speaker 5: He was just pretending.
- 32:24Speaker 2: It's ridiculous.
- 32:25Speaker 3: If you think about how offensive we must have been
- 32:28Speaker 3: in college when we were actually chugging beers, the NFL
- 32:31Speaker 3: would have fined us a lot.
- 32:32Speaker 2: I know I was.
- 32:33Speaker 5: Yes, I was very offensive. There was a lot of
- 32:35Speaker 5: actual beer chugging.
- 32:36Speaker 2: I love it.
- 32:37Speaker 3: Not a lot of pretend beer chugging, I'll tell you
- 32:39Speaker 3: that much.
- 32:40Speaker 7: All right.
- 32:40Speaker 5: But as I mentioned, his nickname's Juice, and he's been
- 32:42Speaker 5: doing it forever.
- 32:43Speaker 3: He did appeal, and then he texted the four letters
- 32:45Speaker 3: saying he doesn't even drink beer.
- 32:47Speaker 2: He doesn't drink beer.
- 32:47Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 32:48Speaker 2: I saw that, too. That's the weirdest thing.
- 32:49Speaker 5: The dumbest thing ever.
- 32:50Speaker 2: And first of all, you're a fullback and you don't
- 32:52Speaker 2: drink beer?
- 32:53Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true.
- 32:53Speaker 2: I got a problem with that.
- 32:54Speaker 3: He's very fit, although there's a lot of beers that
- 32:57Speaker 3: are very low-calorie now.
- 33:00Speaker 5: My first question would have been, then what do you drink? Tito's?
- 33:04Speaker 2: With apparently a zero-calorie Sprite.
- 33:07Speaker 5: Sprite Zero.
- 33:07Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
- 33:08Speaker 5: Speaking of beer, by the way, Ian Happ is my
- 33:10Speaker 5: new hero.
- 33:11Speaker 2: Oh, this is a great story.
- 33:13Speaker 5: Such a good story.
- 33:14Speaker 2: First of all, great name.
- 33:15Speaker 5: Yeah, great name. He chose it.
- 33:17Speaker 3: During what was most likely his last home game at
- 33:19Speaker 3: Wrigley Field, the longest tenured Cub went out to the
- 33:22Speaker 3: outfield and tossed fans a baseball that was wrapped in
- 33:24Speaker 3: $ 300 in cash. So three $ 100 bills. He wrote on
- 33:28Speaker 3: the ball, basically thanking them for years of positivity and support.
- 33:32Speaker 3: And then on the ball in the middle of it said,
- 33:35Speaker 3: beer's on me.
- 33:36Speaker 2: That's awesome.
- 33:37Speaker 5: I mean, instant Ian Happ fan.
- 33:39Speaker 2: That is awesome.
- 33:41Speaker 5: That's so cool.
- 33:42Speaker 2: I saw that last night. I saw something about that.
- 33:44Speaker 2: I didn't really saw the whole story. But the fact
- 33:46Speaker 2: that this guy, I mean, first of all, those are
- 33:49Speaker 2: the kind of things that go so far.
- 33:53Speaker 5: So far.
- 33:54Speaker 2: Right? Like with a fan base. And $ 300 is not
- 33:56Speaker 2: a lot to him.
- 33:58Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
- 33:59Speaker 3: It's not about like the amount of money. And he
- 34:01Speaker 3: could have done, he could have just tossed him a
- 34:02Speaker 3: ball that said, thanks for all the support. It's still
- 34:04Speaker 3: a really awesome move.
- 34:05Speaker 2: But in today's world, you still have to go out
- 34:07Speaker 2: and take the money out of the bank. Like, you know,
- 34:09Speaker 2: like not, we don't care. Most people don't carry cash around.
- 34:11Speaker 7: Right.
- 34:12Speaker 2: Probably, especially those guys.
- 34:13Speaker 9: Right.
- 34:13Speaker 2: So yeah.
- 34:13Speaker 5: And he made that move. Very, very, very cool.
- 34:16Speaker 2: That was, that's for the Cubs.
- 34:17Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 34:18Speaker 5: For the Cubs.
- 34:19Speaker 2: Did you say he's retiring?
- 34:20Speaker 5: I think that they might be trading. Maybe his contract's up.
- 34:24Speaker 2: God, I'm a huge Cubs fan.
- 34:25Speaker 5: And they're not expecting that he'll come back. They did
- 34:27Speaker 5: clinch the playoffs, but I think they're going to be playing...
- 34:31Speaker 5: I don't think that they know if they'll have a
- 34:32Speaker 5: home game.
- 34:33Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, because they're a wildcard team. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 34:36Speaker 3: Okay, so speaking of playoffs and not making them, the Mariners'
- 34:39Speaker 3: season will mercifully come to an end on Sunday. And
- 34:41Speaker 3: I know what people are thinking. Well, Ashley, you were
- 34:43Speaker 3: the one saying, like, you still are holding out hope
- 34:45Speaker 3: that they're going to make the playoffs.
- 34:46Speaker 4: And yes.
- 34:47Speaker 3: I was holding on to some sort of oddity that
- 34:49Speaker 3: there was like a chance the Mariners were going to
- 34:51Speaker 3: make the playoffs and some miracle would happen. It's basically
- 34:54Speaker 3: like watching your favorite TV show. And as the show's
- 34:57Speaker 3: winding down, you start to realize the main character or
- 35:00Speaker 3: your favorite character.
- 35:01Speaker 5: Is going to die.
- 35:02Speaker 3: And everything you're watching is like, oh, my gosh, it's oh, no,
- 35:06Speaker 3: it's going to happen.
- 35:07Speaker 5: Wait, make it stop. Make it stop. How will the
- 35:08Speaker 5: show go on with they die? And then they die.
- 35:12Speaker 5: And that's basically my summation of the Mariner season.
- 35:14Speaker 2: One of my favorite characters in Hunting Wives died after
- 35:17Speaker 2: the first year.
- 35:17Speaker 5: Oh, that was a good show. I can't wait for
- 35:19Speaker 5: season two.
- 35:20Speaker 2: That's coming out in November.
- 35:21Speaker 5: And then before we wrap up, do we have some
- 35:23Speaker 5: fresh hops news?
- 35:24Speaker 2: So I just checked on that. They don't have fresh
- 35:27Speaker 2: hop yet. Any day now at Georgetown. Other breweries do
- 35:31Speaker 2: have it. So I always just say, hey, support your
- 35:33Speaker 2: local brewery, whoever it might be. But they do have...
- 35:38Speaker 2: Not low-calorie, by the way.
- 35:39Speaker 5: Oh, no, because, I mean, good beer is very rarely low-calorie.
- 35:42Speaker 2: I love this particular beer. It's called the Super Lucy
- 35:45Speaker 2: West Coast Double IPA. It's like Lucille, and if you
- 35:50Speaker 2: like Lucille, it's old-school IPA. There's no haze. It is, like,
- 35:55Speaker 2: kicky in the ass, right? It smells like you're taking
- 35:58Speaker 2: a bong hit, whatever. But the West Coast, Super West
- 36:01Speaker 2: Coast Double IPA, Super Lucy West Coast, is.
- 36:06Speaker 2: ABV of 8.1%. Sign me up. But it does not
- 36:11Speaker 2: taste that way. Like there's a certain beer that's made,
- 36:15Speaker 2: used to be made here, not made anymore. Used to
- 36:19Speaker 2: be a place called Elysian in town. They have this
- 36:22Speaker 2: awful beer that's a double IPA and it tastes like that.
- 36:25Speaker 2: This Super Lucy does not taste, it is sensational. If
- 36:27Speaker 2: you like a good hard beer, that's it. Especially with
- 36:31Speaker 2: the weather we're having.
- 36:31Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 36:31Speaker 2: It's perfect.
- 36:32Speaker 5: I know. Get something a little cozier.
- 36:33Speaker 2: But yeah, they should have it soon. They should have
- 36:35Speaker 2: it soon. So not quite yet in the taproom. I
- 36:37Speaker 2: would think maybe by tomorrow as well.
- 36:39Speaker 5: By when?
- 36:40Speaker 2: Tomorrow.
- 36:40Speaker 6: Okay.
- 36:41Speaker 5: My favorite day of the week.
- 36:42Speaker 7: Tomorrow.
- 36:43Speaker 2: Oh my God. Satya's going to lose his mind. This
- 36:46Speaker 2: computer just restarted. Oh, good time to get out of here.
- 36:49Speaker 7: That's right.
- 36:49Speaker 5: He logged me out of computer earlier.
- 36:52Speaker 2: Oh, I like Booze News, by the way.
- 36:54Speaker 5: I know, right?
- 36:54Speaker 6: It's fun.
- 36:55Speaker 2: I like it better when you're in here and Jackson
- 36:56Speaker 2: isn't being bossed around by it.
- 36:58Speaker 5: Isn't being stressed out.
- 36:59Speaker 2: Yeah, being Jackson.
- 37:00Speaker 4: I know.
- 37:01Speaker 2: But yeah. Yeah, so I'm kind of going to... You
- 37:04Speaker 2: gave me a bottle of Tito's. I might have to
- 37:07Speaker 2: partake this weekend.
- 37:08Speaker 5: Not a bad idea. Cheers.
- 37:11Speaker 2: Cheers to Booze News. Great week. Is that it?
- 37:13Speaker 5: That's it.
- 37:13Speaker 6: That's it?
- 37:14Speaker 2: That's all we got?
- 37:14Speaker 5: That's all we got. We're done.
- 37:16Speaker 2: When's Hunting Wife start?
- 37:17Speaker 3: Now I'm just thinking of Malin Ackerman.
- 37:20Speaker 2: Is that how you pronounce it?
- 37:21Speaker 3: Malin?
- 37:22Speaker 5: I think so. I think it's Malin. I love her.
- 37:25Speaker 5: She's great.
- 37:25Speaker 2: November 26th, for those wondering.
- 37:27Speaker 5: Perfect.
- 37:29Speaker 2: I said that to Anders. He used to produce for
- 37:31Speaker 2: this show.
- 37:31Speaker 5: Yeah, I've heard of him.
- 37:32Speaker 2: And I said, he was bitching about Netflix because they
- 37:35Speaker 2: had the What was the NFL game? The Thursday night game, right? Oh, yeah.
- 37:38Speaker 2: The game down in.
- 37:39Speaker 5: Rams and 49ers.
- 37:39Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 37:40Speaker 2: It's like, I'm not doing that. I can't get Netflix.
- 37:42Speaker 2: I go, you're the king of streaming. You don't have Netflix.
- 37:44Speaker 2: Everyone has Netflix.
- 37:44Speaker 5: Yeah, that's like the main one.
- 37:46Speaker 2: That's like saying I shop by going to jcpenney.com, but
- 37:49Speaker 2: I don't have Amazon. Like, what are you talking about, fellas?
- 37:51Speaker 5: JCPenney.
- 37:52Speaker 2: And he's like, no, I can't do that. I said,
- 37:54Speaker 2: so you haven't seen The Hunting Wives? He's like, no.
- 37:56Speaker 2: And I'm like, I can't help you.
- 37:58Speaker 5: Yeah, I know.
- 37:59Speaker 2: Young Anders, I cannot help you.
- 38:00Speaker 5: Some people are beyond help.
- 38:02Speaker 2: They are. All right, have a great weekend. For the
- 38:04Speaker 2: mild-mannered and marginally objectionable Ian Furness, this is Paddle Day
- 38:09Speaker 2: saying so long, everyone.
