- 2:06Speaker 1: and you can't electrocute it on live television now, I mean,
- 2:09Speaker 1: I will risk it, but you can't fly with the
- 2:14Speaker 1: lithium ion batteries because like you can't source them when
- 2:17Speaker 1: you get home. You have to get them in your
- 2:19Speaker 1: carry on, like if you check a bag, you can't
- 2:21Speaker 1: put them then. And also that's like eighteen batteries. It's
- 2:25Speaker 1: just to carry on full of batteries. You're gonna the
- 2:29Speaker 1: security like things and they're gonna be looking through like
- 2:32Speaker 1: you know what. This actually just happened to me in Vegas.
- 2:35Speaker 1: The guys in front of me where they had car
- 2:38Speaker 1: parts or something like that. But I saw and they
- 2:40Speaker 1: had the hardcover like super heavy, like the cases if
- 2:45Speaker 1: you don't know what, Pelican cases where we can carry
- 2:47Speaker 1: our like super fancy expensive cameras. They had them in
- 2:49Speaker 1: Pelican cases and they were just like little small circular things.
- 2:53Speaker 1: And I was watching the woman watch it go through,
- 2:56Speaker 1: and there's nothing sketchier than watching that happened before you
- 3:00Speaker 1: get on the plane. And she was like looking at it,
- 3:03Speaker 1: looking at it, and he's like, it's parts from my core.
- 3:05Speaker 1: And everyone's like that one that's going to be calling
- 3:10Speaker 1: this weekend with her, truly truly. A couple of years
- 3:13Speaker 1: ago at the draft, A D. D. Kinkawala, She's amazing
- 3:17Speaker 1: and we both love plants, and so we were both
- 3:20Speaker 1: at the draft. I think it was in Cleveland, and
- 3:22Speaker 1: she brought me some plant clippings in this pot and
- 3:26Speaker 1: so I had to put it in my carry on.
- 3:30Speaker 1: I mean, listen, it's not not for me. I take
- 3:32Speaker 1: plant clippings from everybody, from all of my friends. I
- 3:34Speaker 1: go over to their house and if there's like and
- 3:36Speaker 1: then I plant it myself. And then it's like they're
- 3:38Speaker 1: at my house. It's great. What I know, I know,
- 3:41Speaker 1: but it's going through green thumb struggling. Could you come
- 3:46Speaker 1: over and say, yes, you know you need a moisture meter.
- 3:49Speaker 1: That is like So the only thing about this was
- 3:54Speaker 1: as the plant was going through the X ray machine,
- 3:57Speaker 1: it literally looked like a head and the t s
- 4:03Speaker 1: A agents started to like a freak out gathered around.
- 4:08Speaker 1: It's like, it's a plant. It's just a plant in there.
- 4:11Speaker 1: I know they hate when you yell stuff at them.
- 4:12Speaker 1: Because she these guys were trying to its car parts
- 4:17Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, let her do her job please,
- 4:19Speaker 1: Um okay, let's get in the show. We're so excited
- 4:21Speaker 1: to watching and Buffalo. It's gonna be a great game.
- 4:23Speaker 1: I speaking of games, want to play one today? This
- 4:27Speaker 1: is called um shoot, I don't have a name for
- 4:30Speaker 1: it amazing. Which young quarterback makes us feel worse about ourselves? Okay,
- 4:38Speaker 1: so there are a lot of young quarterbacks. All of
- 4:40Speaker 1: them are like under the age of thirty. Okay, Tom
- 4:43Speaker 1: Brady was our last hope for feeling young and fresh.
- 4:46Speaker 1: So I want to go through from oldest to youngest.
- 4:50Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you, like what was popular when they
- 4:52Speaker 1: were born. I was going to tell you what movies
- 4:55Speaker 1: were popping, what songs were popping. We're going to decide
- 4:57Speaker 1: which quarterback makes us feel worse about ourselves. We're old,
- 5:01Speaker 1: definitely the youngest. But okay, now then we're old. We're
- 5:04Speaker 1: just like I like at my peak. Right now, I
- 5:08Speaker 1: honestly feel the best that I've ever felt. So and
- 5:10Speaker 1: I'm being genuine Like, as soon as you get into
- 5:12Speaker 1: your thirties, somebody told me, when you're thirty, it's like
- 5:16Speaker 1: your twenty, but you actually have money in your bank
- 5:19Speaker 1: account the most part, sufficient funds for most of my
- 5:24Speaker 1: twenties overdraft fees. Overdraft fees, yes, I know, but like
- 5:28Speaker 1: you also just stop caring about like dumb stuff when
- 5:32Speaker 1: you're in your thirties, whereas like in your twenties, I
- 5:34Speaker 1: feel like I was just marred by like anxiety over
- 5:37Speaker 1: like the dumbest stuff, like I know myself better, I'm smarter,
- 5:41Speaker 1: you know what. Thirties. So let's make fun of these
- 5:43Speaker 1: young quarterbacks and they do have money though they do
- 5:47Speaker 1: have a lot of money. Um, okay, let's start with
- 5:49Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. He was born July twenty nine. I was too.
- 5:53Speaker 1: This is what was happening when Dak was born. Pop
- 5:56Speaker 1: culture events of the year, The Got Milk campaign launched,
- 6:00Speaker 1: beanie babies were created. What did you have beanie babies?
- 6:04Speaker 1: Did not? I had so many? You didn't have a one? Okay,
- 6:08Speaker 1: So I have a really bad story. This girl in
- 6:09Speaker 1: my school really wanted to be friends with me, and
- 6:11Speaker 1: like I was just like, I don't know, you're like
- 6:13Speaker 1: kind of a bully, Like I don't really want to
- 6:14Speaker 1: be friends with you. She showed up with two cardboard
- 6:17Speaker 1: boxes filled with beanie babies the next day and she's like,
- 6:20Speaker 1: these are all yours if you're friends with me. No,
- 6:23Speaker 1: she tried to buy her. She tried to buy me out,
- 6:25Speaker 1: and girl, I can be bought. So I took I
- 6:28Speaker 1: didn't sound like she was a bully. She was a bully.
- 6:30Speaker 1: She was weird vibes like I wasn't a bully and
- 6:33Speaker 1: that's why I was just like, I can't, I can't
- 6:35Speaker 1: hang out with you. I saw you push somebody into
- 6:37Speaker 1: a wall the other day. I would be like, we
- 6:39Speaker 1: could be friends. Everyone was trying to be my friend.
- 6:43Speaker 1: And I took them home and then her mom called
- 6:45Speaker 1: my mom and she was like, Rachel has all of
- 6:47Speaker 1: my kids beanie babies. She needs to give them back.
- 6:50Speaker 1: How many beanie babies did you end up having two boxes?
- 6:54Speaker 1: Why what do you do with all of these? I
- 6:58Speaker 1: gave them back, but I got to have a to
- 7:00Speaker 1: meeting babies for about twenty four hours. That was very exciting.
- 7:02Speaker 1: Sounds crazy, Um, okay, what else? Ryan Gosling and Justin
- 7:06Speaker 1: Timber like joined the Mickey Mouse Club. I feel like
- 7:08Speaker 1: this is like around our age. He doesn't make me
- 7:09Speaker 1: feel bad, this is this is fine. Though I throgot
- 7:12Speaker 1: that he was like closer to I thought you were
- 7:15Speaker 1: looking at the ages of all these guys. I always
- 7:17Speaker 1: think these quarterbacks are older than they are. They look older,
- 7:20Speaker 1: like I feel like we're on the same page. Like
- 7:22Speaker 1: they mature a lot faster. It's like presidential years, like
- 7:25Speaker 1: you kind of I think you age faster when you're
- 7:27Speaker 1: a quarterback. Movie of the Year for Dak Prescott is
- 7:30Speaker 1: Jurassic Park and the song was I Can't help falling

- 13:37Speaker 1: like the day was supposed to happen, just like just waiting, waiting, waiting,
- 13:43Speaker 1: thank God, right God we were wrong? Um wow, Okay,
- 13:48Speaker 1: So that is Trevor Lawrence. He was born when I
- 13:51Speaker 1: was eight. Okay, Jerry Hawk was his pro skater franchise

- 13:57Speaker 1: which I did not know Trevor Lawrence and brockt. Trevorlawrence

- 14:11Speaker 1: He really doesn't need to do much. He just like
- 14:13Speaker 1: slipped right in where Jimmy and it just it kind
- 14:16Speaker 1: of looks bad on Jimmy because he didn't really need
- 14:18Speaker 1: to do much. There's the rest of the team, Arounnis.
- 14:20Speaker 1: It's definitely just like at this point with Kyle Shanahan,
- 14:23Speaker 1: like plug and play, let's go. Okay, So, out of
- 14:26Speaker 1: all those quarterbacks that are gonna be starting this weekend,
- 14:28Speaker 1: who makes us feel the worse about ourselves? I mean
- 14:32Speaker 1: the fact that I knew it was going to be
- 14:34Speaker 1: the youngest, Like, I think it's Trevor Lawrence actually, because
- 14:37Speaker 1: pretty hit it. Trevor Lawrence has been you know, winning
- 14:41Speaker 1: championships and going into the playoffs and dealing with urban Meyer.
- 14:44Speaker 1: He's feel like he's out a different one. He's you
- 14:47Speaker 1: said three years I was such a hot mess at
- 14:54Speaker 1: twenty three years old. I can't imagine having the poise
- 14:58Speaker 1: that these quarterbacks do. Trevor aren't being in this situation,
- 15:01Speaker 1: carrying a team, being on a national stage, like being
- 15:04Speaker 1: the face of a franchise. Oh my god. And you
- 15:08Speaker 1: know what, that leads me to a good thing, because
- 15:09Speaker 1: we've we've got actual stock footage of when we were
- 15:12Speaker 1: twenty three years old. And if you were not watching
- 15:14Speaker 1: this on video, I'm sorry to say you are. You
- 15:16Speaker 1: were missing a lot. Are we gonna start with Colleen?
- 15:18Speaker 1: Are we gonna start with me? I don't even know
- 15:20Speaker 1: which ones you picked either. I don't know. I just
- 15:22Speaker 1: handed them over. They might show all of them. Okay,
- 15:24Speaker 1: so that was what I was living. I just moved
- 15:28Speaker 1: to l A. You had so many friends. I'm sure
- 15:31Speaker 1: I had so many friends. If you're just listening to this,
- 15:33Speaker 1: I have just am dancing to Drake in a Canadian flag.
- 15:37Speaker 1: I don't even know what that is. That was made
- 15:38Speaker 1: on a cardboard. I was gonna say, this looks like
- 15:40Speaker 1: some type of cardboard box. Did you paint this yourself,
- 15:44Speaker 1: like I did have to paint it. It looks like
- 15:47Speaker 1: more pathetic about it. It kind of reminds me of
- 15:49Speaker 1: the vessel that French fries come in when you go
- 15:52Speaker 1: to a fast food place. Like just look at McDonald's canister.
- 15:57Speaker 1: I was doing, no, I listen, I was was that
- 16:00Speaker 1: four I don't even remember. I don't even remember. That
- 16:02Speaker 1: was like when I just first started at Fox Sports,
- 16:04Speaker 1: I had moved away from home. But that's basically the
- 16:08Speaker 1: summation of my entire twenties is just doing very dumb
- 16:11Speaker 1: things in front of a camera. Because I dropped out
- 16:14Speaker 1: of college. I got out of there quick. I feel
- 16:15Speaker 1: like a lot of people were still doing college. That
- 16:18Speaker 1: was so smart of you, Like, I'm not even joking.
- 16:20Speaker 1: I just finished paying off my student loans. Well, hey, graduation,
- 16:25Speaker 1: what you do you just want to say, like when
- 16:29Speaker 1: colleges tell you that you should do a five year program,
- 16:33Speaker 1: don't listen to them, like you don't need it. I
- 16:36Speaker 1: graduated with a degree in corporate communications, and look at
- 16:39Speaker 1: you communicating to corporate Okay, So Colleen, what were you
- 16:46Speaker 1: up to in your twenties? Well, I was getting a
- 16:49Speaker 1: very expensive education. Well, I mean definitely too. Well, I'm
- 16:55Speaker 1: sure you saw the picture. I was living on a beach. Um. Yeah, oh,
- 17:03Speaker 1: I was working so my first official job in sports.
- 17:09Speaker 1: I was at all I was at a lot of bars.
- 17:12Speaker 1: I was having a great time. I was getting my
- 17:14Speaker 1: pilots license. Hold on, you have your pilot's license. Well
- 17:16Speaker 1: not yet, but I'm still working on it. My goodness.

- 17:30Speaker 1: are listening colleens just having a great old time in
- 17:32Speaker 1: her twenties, and that's what we're supposed to do. It
- 17:34Speaker 1: has to be a professional football player. Nothing has changed exactly. Um.
- 17:40Speaker 1: The last picture was me. Um. It's called Aaron Express
- 17:43Speaker 1: in Philly, and it's just like for every St. Patrick's
- 17:47Speaker 1: Day weekend, everyone gets like completely after obliterated. And you know,
- 17:52Speaker 1: now Aaron Express is an absolute nightmare. Like you're in
- 17:55Speaker 1: the city and you're like, oh no, it's that weekend again.
- 17:59Speaker 1: But when you're in or twenties, it's like, this is amazing,
- 18:02Speaker 1: so funny to think back on the places that we
- 18:05Speaker 1: used to love to go and we were like these
- 18:06Speaker 1: guys ages and now we think about it in our
- 18:08Speaker 1: thirties and I'm like, I would never we can pay
- 18:13Speaker 1: me to go to my favorite bar, Like my shoes
- 18:17Speaker 1: would be sticking to the floor, and then I would
- 18:21Speaker 1: the next morning wake up and go to flight school.
- 18:24Speaker 1: That is concerning, you know, that is actually quite concerning. Okay,
- 18:28Speaker 1: we're gonna go to break coming up next, we are
- 18:30Speaker 1: previewing those young guns. We're going to talk about this
- 18:33Speaker 1: weekend slate games. Don't we'll get all right, we're talking
- 18:52Speaker 1: to visional round. We've got we really are running out
- 18:56Speaker 1: of football and I'm kind of starting to panic about it.
- 18:59Speaker 1: What are we supposed to do besides like, okay, let's
- 19:05Speaker 1: break down some of these games. Jags versus Chiefs. Chiefs
- 19:08Speaker 1: are an eight and a half favorite. I'm actually surprised
- 19:11Speaker 1: with all of the lines in these games, Like the
- 19:13Speaker 1: lines are really large for a divisional round, you know, weekend.
- 19:19Speaker 1: I feel like these teams are usually more like evenly
- 19:22Speaker 1: matched and you see like maybe minus three, you know,
- 19:26Speaker 1: not seven, eight five. Kind of crazy to me. But
- 19:29Speaker 1: let's start with this first game Jags Chiefs. Um. I
- 19:35Speaker 1: I really want the Jags to keep this close. I
- 19:37Speaker 1: feel like in the latter half of the season, the
- 19:39Speaker 1: Chiefs had some weird games and we're way too close
- 19:44Speaker 1: than they should have been. But you're going against Andy Reid,
- 19:47Speaker 1: you're going against Patrick Mahomes, You're going against Travis Kelsey,
- 19:49Speaker 1: who has had like the greatest season of his career. Seemingly, Um,
- 19:55Speaker 1: I cannot bet against the Chiefs. I can't do it,
- 19:59Speaker 1: but I do the Jags keep it within eight points,
- 20:02Speaker 1: I think, Well, it's tough because, first of all, Andy
- 20:06Speaker 1: Reid this is the most cliche thing ever, but it's
- 20:10Speaker 1: so true. He's so good off of a bye all
- 20:13Speaker 1: the time. So now they had this this time to
- 20:17Speaker 1: put together all sorts of crazy plays, and you know
- 20:20Speaker 1: that that is what Andy Reid loves to do. The
- 20:22Speaker 1: last time we saw the Chiefs, they were doing their
- 20:25Speaker 1: snow globe play, or they were all on the huddle
- 20:28Speaker 1: and like did a little ring around the rosie. And
- 20:30Speaker 1: of course you know that didn't result in a touchdown
- 20:32Speaker 1: because of a hold or something something, but way more hilarious.
- 20:36Speaker 1: I mean, that's all anyone talked about with this game
- 20:39Speaker 1: was the touchdown that wasn't actually a touchdown. But the
- 20:42Speaker 1: last time these two teams played, like Patrick Mahomes had
- 20:46Speaker 1: one of his best games of the year, Like you
- 20:49Speaker 1: can't hold him back. And I don't think that Juju
- 20:51Speaker 1: Smith Schuster even finished that whole game. So now they
- 20:55Speaker 1: have him too, and I just don't think that the
- 20:58Speaker 1: Jags are going to be able to stop the Chief's offense. Plus,
- 21:01Speaker 1: if Trevor Lawrence has any type of issues like he
- 21:04Speaker 1: did this past week, starting the game with any type
- 21:07Speaker 1: of turnovers, the Chiefs are gonna immediately take advantage. And
- 21:11Speaker 1: for sure that's a scary team to play. I love that.
- 21:13Speaker 1: So Trevor Lawrence went to a waffle house after the
- 21:16Speaker 1: win last week, Why wouldn't you? Patrick Mahomes says that's
- 21:18Speaker 1: a baller move. He was asked what he did after
- 21:20Speaker 1: his first playoff win, and he's like, hmm, I can't
- 21:22Speaker 1: remember so long ago. I've just one so much because
- 21:25Speaker 1: like I probably had a probably Gore's lights. But then
- 21:28Speaker 1: he was just like maybe if I win. He's like,
- 21:31Speaker 1: maybe if I win, I'll think of something fun to
- 21:33Speaker 1: do this weekend. Like just like, maybe if I win.
- 21:37Speaker 1: He knows. I feel like he has like his whole
- 21:39Speaker 1: schedule planned out are exactly. He already knows where the
- 21:42Speaker 1: parades going in Kansas, Okay. Giants, Eagles, Eagles are favored
- 21:46Speaker 1: by seven and a half. I'm gonna let you take
- 21:48Speaker 1: this one because I know who you're gonna pick. Do
- 21:50Speaker 1: the Giants keep it close? Do you anticipate stressing out
- 21:53Speaker 1: on Saturday? Yes, because I always stress out when I
- 21:57Speaker 1: watched the Eagles play, and you know, we've watched this
- 22:00Speaker 1: past weekend. We saw a couple division rivals play each other,
- 22:04Speaker 1: and it's just different when you play a third game
- 22:07Speaker 1: against the same team, like you can keep this close.
- 22:10Speaker 1: You the teams know each other so well, so that
- 22:13Speaker 1: makes me a little nervous. I mean, plus this game
- 22:17Speaker 1: was when they played in Week eighteen, it was close
- 22:20Speaker 1: and the Giants were resting starters and Jalen Hurts obviously
- 22:25Speaker 1: wasn't one, and hopefully he will be better now. But
- 22:30Speaker 1: that is the concern, and it's a major one for me.
- 22:33Speaker 1: That's stressing you out. That jail is not like way
- 22:36Speaker 1: back to. I mean, he just took so much time off.
- 22:38Speaker 1: That is the concern, Like why not start to I mean,
- 22:41Speaker 1: I guess you want him to be as healthy as
- 22:44Speaker 1: you can have him in the postseason, but like I
- 22:46Speaker 1: don't know, start to get some reps here and there.
- 22:48Speaker 1: If you're able to I feel like they're just they
- 22:50Speaker 1: were just trying to like bubble wrap them a little bit.
- 22:52Speaker 1: And hopefully Lane Johnson on the offensive line will be
- 22:57Speaker 1: healthy and good because like the Giant's front can can
- 23:01Speaker 1: get after quarterbacks. So that is something that is definitely
- 23:05Speaker 1: on the radar. So on Barkley, he's so good too,
- 23:07Speaker 1: like this whole season. And Daniel Jones was using his legs.
- 23:13Speaker 1: Dany Jones famous. Actually I can't even remember his age.
- 23:16Speaker 1: Now I have the Eagles, but I have them very close.
- 23:19Speaker 1: I have twenty four, So I feel like the Giants
- 23:21Speaker 1: cover and they keep it close. But it's gonna it's
- 23:23Speaker 1: gonna stress all of us how it's gonna be close.
- 23:25Speaker 1: Favorite Bengals Bills. Bills are favored by five and a half.
- 23:29Speaker 1: I thought that this was gonna be like minus one,
- 23:33Speaker 1: minus three. I don't know. There's just like I know
- 23:36Speaker 1: that the Bills have so much to play for. And
- 23:38Speaker 1: Kyle and I were talking on Tuesday's episode that like,
- 23:41Speaker 1: could you imagine, I guess the Bills have like a
- 23:44Speaker 1: Buffalo great come out before every single game and like
- 23:47Speaker 1: get the crowd hyped up. Imagine if it's du Mars. No,
- 23:51Speaker 1: I can't plays game go crazy. Oh my god, that
- 23:56Speaker 1: would just be so feel good. Um, so obviously the
- 23:59Speaker 1: Bills have it onto play for. But like the Bengals
- 24:01Speaker 1: went through this as well, Right, the Bengals went through
- 24:04Speaker 1: the exact like maybe they weren't his teammate, but they
- 24:06Speaker 1: were on the field, they were hugging each other, they
- 24:08Speaker 1: were Jesus distraught. Their reactions were. We're just as animated,
- 24:14Speaker 1: Like you could feel how upset they were, how scared
- 24:17Speaker 1: they were, how stressed they were, how how just like
- 24:19Speaker 1: jarred everyone was. Um, I'll never forgot Joe and Josh
- 24:23Speaker 1: hugging everything, watching everything felt so surreal from that night.
- 24:29Speaker 1: And yeah, they played for like nine minutes before that happened,
- 24:34Speaker 1: and in those nine minutes it felt like Cincinnati had
- 24:38Speaker 1: all of the momentum in the game and that Cincinnati
- 24:41Speaker 1: and Joe Burrow was just going to have one of
- 24:43Speaker 1: his great games. And then obviously they didn't finish it out.
- 24:47Speaker 1: But I think a lot has changed in a short
- 24:50Speaker 1: period of time, as in the offensive line for Cincinnati
- 24:53Speaker 1: is going to be a major issue. I think in
- 24:55Speaker 1: this game, even without the Bills having Von Miller, I
- 24:59Speaker 1: still think that they are going to get after Joe Burrow,
- 25:02Speaker 1: and he's not going to have a ton of time,
- 25:03Speaker 1: I know, but I feel like the first couple of
- 25:06Speaker 1: seasons that we followed Joe, who's like Joe has been
- 25:08Speaker 1: hit the most out of any quarterback in the league,
- 25:11Speaker 1: like over and over and over again. So like that
- 25:13Speaker 1: gives me a little bit of faith. And then also
- 25:15Speaker 1: I've got the Bengals, by the way, I'm taking them
- 25:17Speaker 1: by thirty one thirty. I think it is going to
- 25:20Speaker 1: be such a fun and close game. But then the
- 25:22Speaker 1: Bills they almost lost to the Dolphins. That was scary.
- 25:26Speaker 1: I don't know what that was about. It was very close.
- 25:28Speaker 1: Its weird. Also like against named Skyler. The last time
- 25:33Speaker 1: the Bills played the Dolphins um in the regular season,
- 25:37Speaker 1: that was the game I was at with the snowballs
- 25:40Speaker 1: and everything else, and that was a close game too,
- 25:42Speaker 1: So I mean they're match up, it's just like not
- 25:48Speaker 1: a great matchup. Are you able to give your prediction
- 25:51Speaker 1: for this game? Are you going to save this one
- 25:53Speaker 1: was the most difficult to pick for me, and I
- 25:55Speaker 1: went back and forth, But I'm picking the Bills. I'm
- 25:57Speaker 1: sure I will change my mind several times before the game,
- 26:00Speaker 1: all right, Finally, let's get into the playoff preview presented
- 26:03Speaker 1: by DraftKings sports Book. The Cowboys head to the Bay
- 26:05Speaker 1: Area to take on the forty Niners and the second
- 26:07Speaker 1: NFC divisional playoff. The Niners are three and a half
- 26:10Speaker 1: point favorites and have covered the spread in each of
- 26:12Speaker 1: their last six postseason games. That's wild. The over under
- 26:16Speaker 1: for this game is set at forty six and a half.
- 26:17Speaker 1: Each of the forty niners last four games have gone
- 26:19Speaker 1: over the point total. One player to keep an eye
- 26:22Speaker 1: on for the Cowboys is tight end Dalton Schultz a
- 26:24Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz anytime touchdown is on the board at plus
- 26:27Speaker 1: two forty five. Shalts four touchdowns in his last three games,
- 26:31Speaker 1: and you can grab the same game parlay over at
- 26:32Speaker 1: draft Kings sports Book for plus eight fifty. These two
- 26:35Speaker 1: teams I think are really really good right now. I
- 26:37Speaker 1: did have the forty Niners winning twenty seven to twenty four,
- 26:40Speaker 1: but I've changed my score forty nine twenty. I think
- 26:45Speaker 1: the Cowboys can can cowboy themselves, you know what I mean?
- 26:48Speaker 1: Like they have they have a tendency of lasts swing
- 26:52Speaker 1: themselves into a loss. Yeah, So I don't know. I
- 26:56Speaker 1: got real nervous watching the fort are the Cowboys the
- 27:00Speaker 1: past week, Dak Prescott and the offense like Dac was dealing,
- 27:03Speaker 1: he looked so good handled the Bucks, I mean. And
- 27:07Speaker 1: also you can't really, I don't know. It's tough because
- 27:10Speaker 1: the Bucks. I don't have a ton of faith in them,
- 27:13Speaker 1: and I think a lot of us are like exactly like,
- 27:16Speaker 1: and they're hosting a playoff game. Come on, it's just
- 27:19Speaker 1: like a bad division all around. But the Cowboys just
- 27:23Speaker 1: looked like they finally hit that stride that they needed
- 27:27Speaker 1: at the exact right time. And like the defense too,
- 27:30Speaker 1: with Michael Parsons flying all over the place. Laton vanderessh
- 27:34Speaker 1: so good in this game. But the Niners have won
- 27:37Speaker 1: eleven straight games, like they have had the momentum for
- 27:42Speaker 1: almost the entire season. It feels like, and they're playing
- 27:44Speaker 1: with brock Purty, and they're making brock Purty look great.
- 27:47Speaker 1: Because when things are going bad for brock Purty like
- 27:50Speaker 1: they were in that first half against Seattle, Kyle Shanahan
- 27:53Speaker 1: uses all of these different ways to scheme up ways
- 27:57Speaker 1: to get brock Purty in a good situation. With Christian
- 28:00Speaker 1: McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel using r P O s and
- 28:02Speaker 1: all of the different tricks in his bag to kind
- 28:06Speaker 1: of keep the defense off balance. So you also got
- 28:09Speaker 1: to remember the prettiest twenty three not only not only
- 28:13Speaker 1: did he come in and have his first season, he
- 28:15Speaker 1: was the very last person draft that He's in his
- 28:17Speaker 1: first playoff game, Like, I want to give him a
- 28:20Speaker 1: little bit of a like space there to figure it out, like, Okay, yeah,
- 28:25Speaker 1: you had you had your half to screw up and
- 28:28Speaker 1: let the Seahawks kind of play with you guys, and
- 28:30Speaker 1: then I feel like this game he'll look much better.
- 28:33Speaker 1: I'm picking the Niners, but I did think for a
- 28:37Speaker 1: second about picking the Cowboys because in my heart of hearts,
- 28:40Speaker 1: what I would love to truly happen is for the
- 28:43Speaker 1: Eagles to beat the beat the Giants this week and
- 28:46Speaker 1: then play the Cowboys for the title game. I'm not
- 28:51Speaker 1: gonna be able to be around to the Super Bowl.
- 28:53Speaker 1: You and HERV would just be on suffer they've got
- 28:58Speaker 1: If that happens, they have got to send you two
- 29:02Speaker 1: to that game. Okay, that would honestly be I'm sure
- 29:07Speaker 1: for both of you. That was the playoff preview presented

- 29:58Speaker 1: all week and wouldn' the best? All right, this is
- 30:16Speaker 1: the best the worst thing that I saw all week.
- 30:18Speaker 1: Colleen does not know what these are. She is blind reacting.
- 30:22Speaker 1: First things first, here is the best thing that I saw.
- 30:26Speaker 1: Blessed kickers. Okay, God, bless kickers. They do not have
- 30:30Speaker 1: an easy job. Brad ma Her on Monday night missed
- 30:33Speaker 1: how many for Yeah, yeah, but this is this is
- 30:37Speaker 1: what I loved to see. Okay, check out ceedee Lamb
- 30:39Speaker 1: trying to make him feel a little bit better. Good,
- 30:43Speaker 1: good good that I can't I can't imagine walking back
- 30:54Speaker 1: after the fourth miss and just being like, wow, that
- 30:58Speaker 1: is rough, and then to have CD there. I mean,
- 31:00Speaker 1: you saw Dax reaction. It wasn't that for two. It
- 31:05Speaker 1: was not for that. I mean I was like shocked
- 31:08Speaker 1: that Mike McCarthy kept rolling him back out, And I
- 31:12Speaker 1: guess when you're in that situation and you're up big,
- 31:15Speaker 1: you kind of have to just keep putting him out
- 31:18Speaker 1: there to have him go through whatever demons and kind
- 31:21Speaker 1: of get through whatever he needs to because you're going
- 31:23Speaker 1: to need him down the line. He said, You've build
- 31:26Speaker 1: us out plenty of times. Like but I feel like
- 31:29Speaker 1: there is there like a headier position in all of
- 31:33Speaker 1: sports other than like a picture. Oh well, I guess
- 31:37Speaker 1: a quarterback, but you've got multiple chances to you and
- 31:43Speaker 1: you bring the kicker in, especially when it's like a
- 31:45Speaker 1: game winning I couldn't imagine. I could not. I am
- 31:49Speaker 1: not good under pressure. Are you know, I'm I don't know.
- 31:52Speaker 1: It depends, okay, breg like pressures make diamonds. Okay. I
- 31:58Speaker 1: don't really know if I want to put this in
- 32:00Speaker 1: the best category, and I don't know if I want
- 32:02Speaker 1: to put this in the worst category. So it kind
- 32:03Speaker 1: of goes somewhere in the middle. Um, we've got a
- 32:07Speaker 1: clip about Aaron Rodgers talking about something. Let's let's roll. No,
- 32:12Speaker 1: we had all the conversations like we wanted to have
- 32:14Speaker 1: about about football for now. Um, you know they're not
- 32:18Speaker 1: pressing for any type of specific, you know answer, and
- 32:22Speaker 1: I'm not you know, mentally or emotionally at that point
- 32:27Speaker 1: to give one. Do I still think I can play?
- 32:29Speaker 1: Of course? Of course the highest you can win m
- 32:34Speaker 1: v P again, Right situation? Um, right situation? Is that
- 32:38Speaker 1: Green Bay? Or is that somewhere else? I'm not sure.
- 32:42Speaker 1: So he's coming back, right, That is him telling us
- 32:44Speaker 1: that he is for sure going to continue playing football.
- 32:48Speaker 1: Why would you not if you've got that like bone
- 32:50Speaker 1: in your body, that like really competitive bone, which he
- 32:53Speaker 1: said he has, why would you not. I kind of
- 32:56Speaker 1: hope he doesn't go somewhere else. I would love to
- 32:58Speaker 1: see him in a different situation. I mean, I think
- 33:01Speaker 1: Tom Brady asked. I think he probably wants to see
- 33:03Speaker 1: himself in a different situation, and he's probably only going
- 33:07Speaker 1: to come back to Green Bay if they decide to
- 33:11Speaker 1: reload instead of rebuild in like the draft and free agency.
- 33:15Speaker 1: That's going to have a huge part of his decision.
- 33:17Speaker 1: But I hate the fact that he's constantly talking about
- 33:22Speaker 1: m v P titles, Like I don't think that that
- 33:25Speaker 1: it should be. I want a championship right, Like he's
- 33:28Speaker 1: just playing for him That's what an m v P is, Like,
- 33:31Speaker 1: you just want your individual accolades, like you can still
- 33:34Speaker 1: play at a high level and m v P level
- 33:36Speaker 1: that's great. That just really shows the kind of it's
- 33:39Speaker 1: just kind of all my radar a little bit. Okay,
- 33:43Speaker 1: and then the worst thing that I saw all week,
- 33:45Speaker 1: which is which just wasn't necessary, has nothing new with sports,
- 33:48Speaker 1: but it's a real bone that I have to pick. Um.
- 33:51Speaker 1: Do you remember Mr Feenie Wait? Who Mr Finie from
- 33:55Speaker 1: Boy Means World? Oh? Yeah, his wife Okay, I'm wisp spicy.
- 33:59Speaker 1: He's wife came out this week and so that they
- 34:02Speaker 1: have an open marriage really and they do weird stuff. Okay,
- 34:07Speaker 1: So we didn't need it. It's all I'm saying. I
- 34:12Speaker 1: could have done without knowing that that personal detail. Um,
- 34:16Speaker 1: and I think the world probably could have done without it.
- 34:18Speaker 1: But is that just taking applications again? Crazy? Oh my god, spicy,
- 34:27Speaker 1: I had no idea was born in n seven? That
- 34:32Speaker 1: can't be true. So math how old does he hold on?
- 34:36Speaker 1: William Daniels was born? This can't be true. It is
- 34:42Speaker 1: he can't be alive. Yes, he can be a lot.
- 34:46Speaker 1: It's seven is old. No, that's not true. He was
- 34:50Speaker 1: born in fifty two. I was going to say, like,
- 34:53Speaker 1: he looks great. Understand how this is possib and he's
- 34:57Speaker 1: got an open marriage. You know, when we stray from football,
- 35:03Speaker 1: I make sure it's worth it. Okay, just so we're
- 35:06Speaker 1: all on the same page. Okay, that is it. That's
- 35:08Speaker 1: our show. Oh wait, hold on, no, take out the music.
- 35:12Speaker 1: Take out the music. Okay, okay, alright. I asked our
- 35:15Speaker 1: good friend Kyle Rant on this show a question on Monday,
- 35:18Speaker 1: and he refused to answer it. And so now I
- 35:21Speaker 1: have to ask every single person that comes on this
- 35:23Speaker 1: podcast nervous. Are you ready? No? But time? This is
- 35:27Speaker 1: what I didn't tell Kyle, take your time find the
- 35:30Speaker 1: answer that you really want to talk about. Okay, all right,
- 35:33Speaker 1: you die, alright, not not in a scary way. You
- 35:36Speaker 1: just float off. You're dead. You get to come back
- 35:39Speaker 1: to Earth for thirty minutes, and you can't see anyone
- 35:43Speaker 1: that you love because if they saw you, they'd be
- 35:45Speaker 1: like Colleen, you can actually talk to people and people
- 35:49Speaker 1: can see you and you can see them. Okay, so
