• 2:51
  Speaker 1: forget about it, guys. We had a doozy of a
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: weekend of football. There was some fun games we were
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: going into this weekend. Stinkers on the docket, No, none,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: None were stinkers. Maybe the second half of the Seattle
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: uh forty Niners game was was a stinker, was a
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: stink fest. And maybe I'm just bitter because I really
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: wanted to see how to win Go gino go all.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: The games were so fun, some insane comebacks, uh Bills, Dolphins, Bengals, Ravens, Giants, Vikings.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Jack's George here? Who would have thought? Just a quick reminder,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: we record these podcasts on Monday, so we're not able
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: to talk about Tom Brady. We're not able to talk
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: about the Cowboys imploding. You guys are gonna know more
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: than I will by the time you listen to this. Um. Okay,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: coming up, on the show. We got a jam pack
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: show people, we got KB joining us. I'm gonna ask
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: him a very vulnerable question. He is gonna avoid it.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: It's great. Um, I'm sure you're gonna be able to
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: hear how uh embarrassed I am through the podcast? Okay,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: last time, last I swear, last time I ever tried
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: to be vulnerable on this show. No chas, no way. Okay,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: okaybe oh do you all right? Incoming? Kyle Brand one
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: of my favorite people to bench with Banetta. Now we
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: record these shows on Monday. Okay, so there's one game
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: that we're not going to be able to talk about
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and react to. But I want to get your hot
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: reactions from this week. I feel like if there were
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: this was probably the most wild of Super wild Card weekends.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Like it fit the title. How was your you know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: before we get into the games, just how is the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: overall experience? You talked about making some wings, you talked
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: about making some baked potatoes. How did you did you
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: enjoy it? Was it nice? It's awesome? All I ever
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: want to do anymore? Right, So I's just sit on
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: my couch at home with my family. I don't want
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: to go to you know, we're just getting through Christmas
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: party season. It's exhausting. I'm this this old, cantankerous, screwed.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I just want to sit home and eat and drink.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: So that's all I did. And you know, it's funny,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: like when you look at the slate of these games.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: We can say it now on Friday, you're like, oh,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: this looks like crap games, Like we're hanging our hat
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: on Jaguars charges and just hoping it's good. But like
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: we got all these backup quarterbacks and when we blow
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: out City, I gotta say it was pretty damn good.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Like I feel great about Super wild Card Weekend. It was.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: It was so fun. We have game debut on Fridays
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and we're previewing the weekend slate and I said, literally,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I was just like, oh my god, Miami Bills, if
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: too was there, that game is so fun. The a
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: f C North battle between the Bengals and Ravens. If
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Lamar was there, that game is blowing us out of
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the water. Both of those teams, two of their absolute credit,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Like we are singing their praises today they came to play.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, is there a team that
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: you're feeling better or worse about after this weekend. So
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: only teams that are moving forward. We Gotts, we got
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the Jags, the Bills, the Giants, and the Bengals. Is
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: there any of those teams remembers that maybe played a
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: certain way that you're like, oh, okay, so this is
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: what we're dealing with. These are the playoff teams that
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: we're dealing with this season. Well you probably get this sometimes, Rachel.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: You see friends or whoever that they have nothing to
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: do with sports or don't even work sports adjacent like
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: you and I kinda do. And they'll be like, so,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: who do you like in the games? Like who? And
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: who should I bet on? Or who should I start
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: my fantasy whatever? And someone was asking me, They're like
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: this is prior to the weekend. They're like, yeah, so
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: a f C. We we get it. It's it's Chiefs,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Bengals and Bills. Is there anybody else that you can
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: make a run? And I go, I know this sounds
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: a little weird, but Jacksonville is good and I'm telling
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: you they're good. And I went with the Jacks and
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: they're like, come on, the Jaguars they suck. I'm like,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I know why you're saying that, but it's just patently false.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: They don't. They don't suck. They do many times, but
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: not this time. And then sharing off, they had the
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: third biggest comeback in an NFL history. So like, I'm
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: looking at Jags Chiefs and I'm like, could they I
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: think they're like young, and I mean this in a
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: good way, young and dumb, and they're just like, why not,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Let's just be the Chiefs. Why who cares that we're
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: not supposed to? And that's the dangerous take. You know what.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you because I feel like the
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Chiefs of the Chiefs. Obviously you got Andy Read, you
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: got you got all, you got every single power house
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. Okay. But if you look at the
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: second half of their season, there were some games that
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you were like, whoa, whoa, what's going on with the Chiefs?
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: This game is way closer than I was expecting it
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: to be. I also love We're gonna talk about this
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: later on in the show. I love that Trevor Lawrence
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: went to a waffle house after the game to celebrate, Like,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: could you be more wholesome in this moment? I like
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: that video a lot because most of the waffle House
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: videos I see involved someone like getting a chair throne
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: of them. So I'm watching it. I'm like, please snow
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: and throw a chair at Trevor. Lawrence is a beautiful man,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and people are happy and they're well fed, and it's
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: a discount price. So I like, um, I thought for
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: a second that you were going to say the sneaky
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: fun team is perhaps the Giants, because I gotta bring
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: it up. You know, literally all of us are guilty. Okay.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I literally changed my pick on Saturday to the Seahawks
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: last minute. And I gotta ride this wave, baby, I
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: gotta ride this wave of people calling me out being
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: like they're good. You said you change your pick of
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the last second. No, look at you. First off, that
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: game was super fun in the first half. It was
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: very close. But I got to talk to you about
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the Vikings. I gotta talk to you about Kirk Cousins.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Are there any regrets? Are there any regrets at all
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: from this season? And how much love you showed that man.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: No regrets, never any regrets. No regrets are a g
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: r E B s uh that no, no, no no.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Like the Vikings, it would be fun if there was
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: this storyline where like the Vikings sucked, then they just
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: blew it and Cousins through three interceptions. We can all
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: have laughed. The Vikings were really good. Cousins was excellent
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: in this game. The Giants were just better. They lost
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: to a better team and a better quarterback. And when
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: they had fourth and eight, they threw like a six
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: inch pass and this season was over. And that's regrettable,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: but I feel fine about it. They just they got
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: beat by a better team. It's okay, it happens. That's football.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: And now the Giants are like, oh my god, the
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Giants are kind of cool. And Daniel Jones was the
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: best quarterback in the league this week. Kind of sexy,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: almost oh what do you sing the sport with Daniel Jones?
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I never I would say that word in my life
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: about Daniel Jones. But Mr blow dried sidepart from Duke
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: with the Jan Sport backpack was like kind of hot
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: this weekend. He was so badass, like his body language,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: in his face, it was just like he looked like
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: you know, everyone says like when he when he went
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: when Brian Dable goes to the Giants, Everyone's like, well,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Brian Dable can try to turn Daniel Jones into Josh
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: down and we're like, ha hai, you idiot is never
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: gonna be Josh Allen. Yesterday he looked more like Josh
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: youwen the Josh Allen like. He looked really really good
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: and it was cool and it was kind of hot. Wow.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I love it. I feel like every single team that
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: was supposed to move on did move on, like forty
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: nine is everyone kind of we want to see those
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: guys to continue on, right, Bill's same thing, Bengals, same thing,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Giants Vikings. I was like, you know what, both teams
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: are kind of like quirky and fun. I don't care
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: who goes on. Let's change gears and talk about the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Ravens for a hot sex because, like credit to them,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: they put the Bengals on their heels. Um. I want
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: to talk to you about Lamar Jackson. J K. Dobbins.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: He first came out and said, if we had Lamar,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: we would have won, and then came back and said,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: you know, Snoop played a great game that in and off.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: What do you think is going on with Lamar? Do
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: you think that it is the actual knee issue and
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: that's what's holding them back. Do you think it's the
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: money thing? What do you think happens next season? Is
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the real question here. Yeah, there's a fifty questions. Lamar
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: is already first team all off season like that he's
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: going to be the one Listen. I think that if
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: he had a long term contract, I think he's out
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: there this weekend, right And I don't think that's I
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: don't think that's an insult to him. It's like it's
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: he's human being and he has to think about Listen,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not doing this is not a hobby. I'm not
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: doing this for fun. This is my job and this
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: is my career. I think if he had a six
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: year tunor and thirty million dollar contract, I think he's
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: playing against the Bengals. He doesn't for a bunch of reasons,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: and so he isn't. So there's this whole put a
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: brace on it section of the media right now, this
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: is get out there and play. We were talking to
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: him according today Rachel, and he he doesn't usually play that.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I played the game card, but he kind of played
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I played the game card. And he's like, we got
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: people saying he should be a work and they wouldn't
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: get to their work if they had a head cold,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: and I was like, damn, Jason, we haven't seen this
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: from you yet. People are really in their feelings, and
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I think I think he's out there if he has
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: a long term contract, and I don't think that's a
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: slight on him. I think that makes him a human beings.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I think it's really cool to see, actually you really
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: see a divide, like there are other people like get
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: out there, Lamar. I've seen a ton of players go
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: to bat for him and be like, you know what,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: He's gonna wait it out and make sure that money
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: is guaranteed and all of those things. And I think
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: that that's been really cool to see. Is like it's
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: so easy for us to be like, of course we
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: want to see Lamar Jackson out there. The question is
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: do you think they would have won with Lamar out
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: there this weekend? I do, yeah, And like sala Herly
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: was good and he you know what it was. It
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: was like if you turn on the game, you know
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: how like especially in New York City, you can go
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: to like the steps of a museum or something in
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: they're selling purses, but instead of Louis Vattan, It's like
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: like Louis Laton like that Tyler. I think it was
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: like he kind of like he ran really well at
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: times and he threw well. It wasn't quite Louis Batton,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: but it is significantly cheaper and it was available. It's
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: right there, So he was the Voie Laton of quarterbacks.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: But if they had Louis, I think they probably went, yeah,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: oh you got that Channel purse, you got that praw
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: dough prado? Is that what they're gold? Gold chain? Um? Okay,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: let's look forward to the divisional round. Obviously, like I said,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: we record these episodes on Monday, so we don't know
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: what it's going to happen. In the Cowboys Bucks game,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: which I'm very excited about by Rachel. I mean, don't
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: we Who are you picking in this game? I got
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: the Bucks. Yeah, I'm picking Tampa as well, and it's
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: such an insult to Dallas that we are. This is
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: like a mid ling at best Buccaneers team. But everyone's like, oh,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: you gotta take Tampa. Why Well, because they're playing the Cowboys.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: I just can't wait. I can't wait, and maybe the Cowboys.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I feel like you and I are on the same
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: page with the Cowboys and I feel like I've seen
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I saw you do this whole thing on g MFB
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: at least one time this season. It's like the Cowboys
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: are gonna cowboy and I have and saying this basically
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: my entire career. The Cowboys just end up blowing it.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Do we start talking differently about them? If they win
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: this game, just for just one, just one postseason game
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: that they win, does the does the conversation start to
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: change around this team? I think it does. They went
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: on the road and they beat Brady and McCarthy handles
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: his business and doesn't throw up spaghetti on himself. It's just, yeah,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I think we do. My My bottom line is this,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: every single year since I was in bleep in high school,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: someone has said to me, this Cowboys team is different.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: They're different. They're not different. It's just you're in the
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: cafeteria and you bring your tray and they put the
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: spoonful of slop and it's the Cowboys standard issue. It's
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: never different, And don't tell me it's different. Show me. Um.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: So the conversation will change a little bit if they
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: beat Tampa, But like I guess, at the same point,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: you're beating a sub five wild card team should like
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: get to a title game you haven't done since nine.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I think it's more so like beating Tom Brady because
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: they've never been able to beat Tom Brady. That would
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: be a nice little slice of cake for them. Okay,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the divisional round games, We've got Jags at Chiefs. The
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Chiefs are favored by eight and a half. We got
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Giants at Eagles. The Eagles are favored by seven, Bengals
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: at Bills, Bills favored by four. And then forty Niners
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: versus either Cowboys or the Bucks. Looking at that slate
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: right now, I think I know the answer to this.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: But what is your What's the game that you're most
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: excited to see? Obviously, and I'll tell you what it's.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: It's a duly Spiderman game, Rachel, It's it's it's the
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: same deal here. We have this superstar quarterback. We have
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: this head coach who's not a rock star but just
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: totally gets it and knows how to run the program.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: We also have like the heavy sentimental storyline with tomar
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Hamlin and listen, I will tell you this. Before the
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Bills games, and I've been there, they do their own
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: deal where you know in Seattle they have to raise
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the twelve flag. Or in Kansas City you beat the drum.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: They have someone who's down on the field and it's
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: like a Bill's great, It'll be Therman Thomas or and
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: I talked to the stands and they say, no place
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: you'd rather be. I don't know this, but I strongly
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: suspect that DeMar Hamlin could do that on Sunday afternoon
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: at five o'clock. Like imagine, can you imagine? I have
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: goosebumps even just thinking about it. I know that is
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: gonna be. That is gonna be the most difficult place
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: to play ever. And I saw we saw Zach Taylor
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: give the game ball to his like the local bar,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: and he's like, I want to see as many of
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: you up in Buffalo. Is absolute possible. I don't even
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: think it matters, like, but Buffalo is gonna be the
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: most difficult place to play in like recent memory, no
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: matter what. But if that happens, off the absolute charts, Um,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: I'm with you. That game, I'm I'm so excited for
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: uh Eagles Giants is kind of sneaky interesting to me
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: as well. That could go a little bit wonky. Um Okay,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: enough about football. I've got a question. I saw something
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: on Twitter that I want to ask you about. For
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: those of you that don't know, Kyle Brandon is an
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: incredible actor. Uh, he's got a storied resume, long list, Kybe.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Somebody tweeted a picture of you, a young KB in
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Law and Order and they were like is this you?
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: And you said, yep, That's how I got my sag card.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I want to know or worst audition story or best
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: whatever you want to share? And how long were you
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: in the acting? Game? For showed up to l A
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: in January of O two and I was in it
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: for I started working in sports in like December of
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: oh seven, so like five years? Did three and a
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: half years? On Days of Our Lives? Did a right
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Guard commercial? Murdered? No, my character left town. That's a
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: different left town. I wasn't. My last scene was like
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: I had my bag over my shoulder and I'm walking
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: down the Jetway and I'm just like, you know, I'm
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: not leaving town. This town left me. It was just
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: terrible line like that with a single tier that was
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Days of Our Lives. I didn't. It was awesome, it
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: was unbelievable, But my worst audition story. I think was
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: my first audition, and at the time, this is two
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: thousand two, they were doing a TV version of Legally Blonde,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: the Reese Witness when we have been a massive success,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: and I got to go in. I got an audition
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: for like the male lead in it. They're probably seen
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: seventy thousand people in town, but I remember I walked
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: into this casting room and they were casting all the parts,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: including the lead of the show, the part, and they
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: were like seven blonde women dressed all in pink, and
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: one of them even had a real Chihuahua that she
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: was bringing with her. That is commitment, Please help me.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: She didn't get it. No, it didn't bite me. I
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: I kept my distance, but they were fifteen other dudes
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: who just look exactly like me. And I went in
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: and I had practiced it sixty times in the mirror,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: and I just butchered the whole thing. It was embarrassing
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: and bad, and the cast breaker was actually really nice,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: but there was just no shot. I did committed a
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: couple of really bad fox pause, no call back. That
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: was it. I auditioned from My first audition was for
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: a milk commercial and I had to like do my
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: little cart. I was in a grocery aisle and then
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: I had to stop and I had a double take
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: because there was a cow in the fridge. And then
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I had to have a conversation with the cow about
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: like why I should have this kind of milk. I
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: didn't get it, So I don't know. You messed that
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: one out. You went right to the minor leagues. Like
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: commercial auditioning is a whole different deal. I've done it
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: too than theatrical auditioning or audition for shows or movies,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: because way more people are involved. It's way more meat
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: marketing totally. So to speak with the cow, but I
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: was I've done a bunch of those two and those
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: are really tough. All right, Well they were missing out.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I could have been the face of milk. Okay, one
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: question director pretend that they were the cow Rachel and
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: they would be like, so you're gonna walk in and
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: push the car, look at us and you see a cow,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: and like that's all it was, you know what? And
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I took a moment. There was like I have like
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: a kind of like mental image. There was like somebody
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: zooming in from Vancouver. There was a whole room of
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: people casting this. I was like, y'all are casting a
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: milk commercial. Okay, I've got bigger things coming my way.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Y'all are zooming in for me to pretend talk to
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: a cow. So I'm not taking y'all's judgment. Okay, I
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: have one final question before we send you on your way, kbe,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: and it's a it's a deep question. Okay. I saw
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: this online and I've been since asking everyone this question. Okay,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: so just close your eyes up. Let me let me
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: put you in this place. Okay, you die, not in
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: a bad way, just just you know, you float off
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: into whatever. Um. You have the opportunity to come back
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: to Earth for thirty minutes. Here are the rules. You
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: can't see any friends, you can't see any family because
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: people can actually see you. Okay. You can walk around,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: you can have conversations with people and if you saw
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: them it would freak them out. Trauma for life. Right,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: thirty minutes back on planet Earth. You can have a meal,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: you can sit on a bench somewhere. You can do
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: whatever you want, wherever you want. The only rule is
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: thirty minutes and you gotta go. Where are you going
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: and what are you doing? Um? I'm gonna go to
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: uh to your place, Rachel, and I'm gonna mount to
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: flat screen TV's you won't. I won't need all thirty minutes.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I just need six minutes and the rest of the
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: time I'll just sit out and and smoke or something.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Rachel's private life, no share. Okay, there was there was
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: a dead mounting a TV and I didn't do a
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: good job at it. Okay, all right? Is that your
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: final answer? You got a brand new TV. You thought
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: you were so cool? You're was it sixty seventy inches?
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: You go massive? Was a huge? It's a big one.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: It's a big one. It's toughing the right thing. You
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: gotta jokes and I'm trying to have a nice moment here.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Get your jokes in. Kai went through the wall? Or
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: did you make it all crappy with the wires hanging down?
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Did you do this properly? I'm gonna have somebody coming
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: and put an outlet in, but for now it's hanging
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: And also it's way to listen. I'll post the photo.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: You guys can all have a good laugh. All right.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Last time, I try to be nice and vulnerable with
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: people on this podcasts. That's Okay, KB, get out of here.

  Speaker 1: We love having you. We'll see you next week after
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: the divisional round. Yeah, milk people, casting directors, suck it.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: You missed the real talent. Sorry later. Oh my god,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I'm genuinely listen. I have been NonStop asking people this question,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: and I've gotten such beautiful answers. If you ask me
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: the question. I grew up going to a lake every summer.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: One of the best days of my life was two
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: summers ago. The lake was warm, it was beautiful out,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: and I just floated by myself in the lake for
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: like an hour. I'd go back to that day. I'd
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: go back to that day and just float. That sounds nice.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: And then a nice story that I just told you
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: learned something about me, learned that I grew up on
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: a lake. Okay, that's It's called sharing and caring. People
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: get hop in the d m S. I want to
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: know where are you going on planet Earth if you
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: can't see anybody that you love for thirty minutes after
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: you die? Coming up after the break, was it a
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: weird question? I think it was. Coming up after the break,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: new segment alert called give them a race. People doing
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: their jobs and doing them well, all right, welcome to
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: a new segment we are calling give them a raise.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: I just want to highlight some good people doing some
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: good stuff around the league, and this week, honestly, it
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: might be the same people every single week, because I
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: want to do this segment all the time, because people
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: just knock it out of the park. And the people
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: that deserve a raise are social media managers, people that
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: are in charge of the twitters and Instagrams and TikTok's
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: and blah blah blah blah blah of NFL teams. I
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: thoroughly enjoy just how petty they can be all of
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: the bullying that it takes place. Bullying is not cool
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: unless you're two NFL teams doing it to each other. Okay,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna go through a couple of tweets that
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: I saw this weekend for Super wild Card weekend. There
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: are some good ones, okay, and I will try to
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: describe them if you guys are listening on a podcast. Okay,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: So let's see this first one. Okay. The Jacksonville Jaguars
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: tweeted they had us in the first half. I'm not
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: gonna lie, and the picture is Jags win and over
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: it is too like cell phone chargers and the chargers
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: are snapped, they're broken. Uh, but I love that they're like,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie, I'm n g L like you know,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: It's it's just I just love when Twitter handles feel
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: like a real person, like this is obviously an NFL team,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: but it's like and you can see in the Jacksonville
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Jaguars display picture, who's that Trevor Lawrence like throwing up
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: the dudes? I love it. I love everything about it.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: It's beautiful. Um, you deserve a race. What's next? Okay?
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: The Minnesota Vikings, The Minnesota Vikings. Okay, they tweeted, start
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: spreading the news and the picture is New York's favorite
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: team and it's Vikings players in in the city escape okay.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: And then the Giants retweeted that with skull and the
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: L is capitalized. Li's we love to see it. We
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: absolutely love to see it. Okay. And then one of
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: my favorites, this is very creative, Bengals throw up the tweet. Okay.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: The Bengals tweeted this after their win against the Ravens.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Quick read before we head to Buffalo, and then the
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: picture is um some books on a table and it
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: says Baltimore Ravens season short stories. I love it. Give
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: them all raises. These people are so creative. Um, and
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: you know I'm not saying don't get a raise. But
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I was looking at Ford Nursed and the Bills had
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: a great one too. But we can't show it because
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: it's Megan Markle on what's that show called Who Wants
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: to Win Money? Dealer No Deal? It's Megan Markle opening
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: up her suitcase Dealer No Deal, and on the inside
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: of the suitcase was oh my god. And it just
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: says Bills went on the inside. So I love that
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: probably the most, but um, we'll get sued if we
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: show it. Sarah not gonna do that. Okay. By the way,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I'm watching the documentary Perry and Kind by Slayer. Okay,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: you deserve all the raises, all the money. There you go,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: che che Naing. Okay, coming up? Next, best thing I saw,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: worst thing I saw. I don't quarter her. He's the best,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: all right. We saw a lot of good things this weekend,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: including some major comebacks, including some great football. But here
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: is what I loved. We talked about this earlier in
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: the show. I believe we have a picture of Trevor
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Lawrence going to a waffle house after the win on
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Saturday night. I love this. Just got sent this from Jacksonville.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence celebrating the comeback win at the local waffle house.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: No chairs, no brawls to be to be seen as
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: KB mentioned, Um, I love this. Like everyone else is
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: smoking cigars and dranking and travel, Lawrence strikes me as
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: the kind of guy against like chocolate chip offfles, maybe
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: a little root beer, has his has his little wife
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: by side. Just on this a wholesome evening. Um. I'm
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: really excited that they're going to continue on their fun.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: They're scrappy Jacksonville, uh first playoff games in like six
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: years at home. Their mascot wears a speedo, which I
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: like and it also at the same time makes me uncomfortable.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: You can feel both ways about something. That's what I think. Okay,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: the next thing that I saw Zach Taylor going into
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: uh this bar called the Blind Pig and giving them
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: the game ball. Do we have the video? That is
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: so fun? I mean, could you talk about two completely
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: different opposite ways of celebrating Zach Taylor go to the
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Bengals goes to a bar and the player goes to
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: a waffle house. Um, that's amazing. I am so like,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: I feel like we've been gifted this game Bengals Bills
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: the rematch. Uh like the emotions that have happened in
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: the last two weeks since that first game tomorrow, Hamlin
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: seems to be getting better every single day. As Kyle said,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: can you imagine him walking out in the field and
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: being like, I'm back. Oh my goodness. I really hope
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: he gets to play next season. But that game is
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: gonna be great. So so many emotions on both sides
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: to the Bengals. I had to see what happened as well, like,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: oh my goodness, it's gonna be incredible. Okay, and then
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: now to the worst thing that I saw. This is
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: interesting and I'm curious to see what people are thinking
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: about this. Aaron Donald briefly changed his Twitter bio. Okay,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: so some people are on these things. Look at this,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: he said, former NFL defensive aligneman for the Rams hashtag,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: and then he quickly changed it. He changed it back
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: to you know, whatever whatever it was before. Former. What
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: does this mean? Does that mean he's retiring? I mean,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: I kind of thought of Sean McVeigh was coming back,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Aaron Donald would be coming back. But maybe the Rams
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: are just too far away from what they were winning
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl that Aaron's like, I gotta go, I'm
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: out of here. This is gonna make me so sad.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: The Rams showed us some glimpses of some magic with
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Baker in those in those games, that big comeback game
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: on Thursday football. You got no Cooper Cup this year.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Matt Stafford was injured. Don't go out on this note,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, we need more of you. Also, it's kind
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: of makes me sad that he did this during playoffs,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Like I think he's sitting at home, probably so disappointed.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: He was in a much different place this time last year.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Probably started appoting he's not playing in the playoffs. He started.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: It's like, you know, if you break up with somebody
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: and you see them like out and about and you're like,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: then you all of a suddenly post the thirst trap like,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: oh I'm doing fine, I'm doing good. It's giving that,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: it's giving that, it's giving. I'm onto bigger and better
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: things while he's watching other people do the bigger and
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: the better things. Um okay, guys, that is our show.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Come back on Friday as we preview the divisional round games.
• 29:33
