Speaker 1: that I love spooky things. So I'm just I'm just
1:01
Speaker 1: like soaking up all the autumnal vibes for my birthday.
1:05
Speaker 1: I'm going to have a little champing maybe as I
1:09
Speaker 1: record this bench with Benetta Pod. Guys, this is very weird.
1:12
Speaker 1: I'm doing this by myself. Graver left me in London.
1:16
Speaker 1: He's back in Los Angeles. Moha never even came to London.
1:20
Speaker 1: He's back in Los Angeles. I am one of the
1:23
Speaker 1: last few standing at NFL Network because we got one
1:27
Speaker 1: more game, baby, or I guess there's more than one game.
1:30
Speaker 1: I'm just only staying for one more game. We got
1:32
Speaker 1: Packers and Giants this Sunday in London. If if last
1:37
Speaker 1: week is any indication of how this is going to be,
1:38
Speaker 1: I feel like it's even gonna be crazier. The fans,
1:41
Speaker 1: the amount of fans that are going to be out
1:43
Speaker 1: and about. We had Viking Saints last week and so
1:45
Speaker 1: many people showed up. It was an absolutely packed house.
1:48
Speaker 1: I have people hitting me up for tickets at this
1:50
Speaker 1: point for Packers Giants, like, guys, what do you think?
1:52
Speaker 1: What do you think I'm gonna do? I'm I'm like
1:55
Speaker 1: in the media press box. I don't even get a ticket.
1:58
Speaker 1: So I feel like the fans are gonna be Craig
2:00
Speaker 1: kray at this game. If you're there and you see me,
2:04
Speaker 1: please sing the full version of Happy Birthday. I want
2:07
Speaker 1: snaps I want foot tapping, maybe an interpretive dance. I'm
2:12
Speaker 1: with the full thing and if you don't do that,
2:13
Speaker 1: I don't have time for you. Okay, I need all
2:16
Speaker 1: out or nothing. But we got packers giants I actually
2:19
Speaker 1: got to talk to Okay. So last week I sat
2:23
Speaker 1: down with Jamis Winston and I know that I told
2:25
Speaker 1: you guys that on the podcast. We had a fold
2:27
Speaker 1: that we drove out in the middle of nowhere because
2:29
Speaker 1: their hotel was so far away from the from downtown London,
2:32
Speaker 1: which is where we're staying, waited for Jamis. They obviously
2:35
Speaker 1: had a lot on their play getting ready. Fine, we
2:37
Speaker 1: showed up early, We're waiting there for him. He finally
2:40
Speaker 1: sits down, We have a really great chat, and then
2:44
Speaker 1: he doesn't play. So the whole interview didn't get run.
2:47
Speaker 1: We weren't able to play it on this podcast, which
2:49
Speaker 1: all went to waste. They all went to a waste.
2:52
Speaker 1: So this week I was like, whoever I am interviewing,
2:55
Speaker 1: they better be plying and they better ball out and
2:57
Speaker 1: I better be great. So I sat down with Aaron
3:00
Speaker 1: Jones and I was very excited and we had a
3:02
Speaker 1: really good chat and he talked about he talked about
3:07
Speaker 1: I don't think he's ever been to London before. He
3:09
Speaker 1: talked about they get there on Friday, so they're gonna
3:11
Speaker 1: have a very quick turnaround. He does not drink coffee,
3:13
Speaker 1: which I'm concerned about for him, for his sake, because
3:18
Speaker 1: that's all I've literally been drinking since I landed in London,
3:21
Speaker 1: and I thought I was interesting. We asked him, like,
3:23
Speaker 1: you know, since DeVante Adams left, like what's the vibe?
3:26
Speaker 1: Like how have you guys still continued to find success?
3:28
Speaker 1: And he was just like just getting more people reps,
3:31
Speaker 1: which continues for him. So I'm very excited for this game.
3:35
Speaker 1: I'm going Packers. We're gonna talk about this game a
3:37
Speaker 1: little bit in the Pick six. But the more pressing issue,
3:42
Speaker 1: you guys, and don't worry, we're gonna get to our
3:44
Speaker 1: gossip section. Okay, that's coming up right around the corner.
3:48
Speaker 1: But the more pressing issue. There have been some whispers
3:51
Speaker 1: this week about somebody becoming a packer when they're ready
3:56
Speaker 1: and when they're healthy, and that man's name is Odell
3:58
Speaker 1: Beckham Junior. And this gets me, This gets me hype.
4:02
Speaker 1: I love obj. I was so bummed when he was
4:05
Speaker 1: on the Browns and just like not doing much. And
4:09
Speaker 1: you can blame Baker, you can blame Obj, you can
4:12
Speaker 1: blame everyone's dads that seemingly got involved in the whole
4:15
Speaker 1: dang situation. But Obj tweeted, I think last week Aar
4:20
Speaker 1: makes it look effortless. Aaron was asked about this this tweet.
4:24
Speaker 1: Obviously he was like watching the game and he's like
4:25
Speaker 1: Marion Rogers and so sec. Aaron was asked about this
4:28
Speaker 1: tweet on Pat mcavie's show, and this is what Aaron said.
4:31
Speaker 1: Odell and I have been friends for a number of
4:33
Speaker 1: years now, and we keep in contact often. We've talked
4:37
Speaker 1: various times over the years, and obviously with a player
4:40
Speaker 1: like that, you're always hoping there's a time when you
4:42
Speaker 1: can figure things out and play together. Also, I thought
4:47
Speaker 1: it was interesting somebody asked von Miller about the situation.
4:49
Speaker 1: He said, I talked to Ode about him every week.
4:51
Speaker 1: I know where he's going to be at. So that
4:54
Speaker 1: means people, that means that there's already kind of been
4:57
Speaker 1: a decision made. It sounds like, oh my god, I
5:00
Speaker 1: think there might be a ghost in this room. Did
5:01
Speaker 1: you guys hear that this is what happens when I
5:04
Speaker 1: recording podcast by myself. Things happen. I think that this
5:08
Speaker 1: is this is the thing that we should maybe start
5:10
Speaker 1: taking seriously. People, wouldn't you guys love to see OBJ
5:13
Speaker 1: on the Packers with Aaron Rodgers. You know, I think
5:15
Speaker 1: we've talked about this on the podcast. The whole question
5:18
Speaker 1: surrounding the Packers was like, Okay, well, who's he going
5:21
Speaker 1: to now if he doesn't have his right hand man
5:22
Speaker 1: and Davante Adams and he started to kind of like
5:24
Speaker 1: spray the ball around. M OBJ could be sick. Then
5:28
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the Packers are favorites in the
5:30
Speaker 1: NFC one thousand percent, and I'm taking them in the NFC.
5:33
Speaker 1: That is so fun. Um Schefter said that OBJ is
5:36
Speaker 1: not gonna be back until Thanksgiving because he had his
5:39
Speaker 1: torn ACL I think that happened in the Super Bowl
5:41
Speaker 1: and he's obviously been rehabbing that in the Bahamas. Apparently
5:44
Speaker 1: that sounds sweet. I got a bum hip. Can I
5:46
Speaker 1: go to the Bahamas and work on that and do
5:48
Speaker 1: some stretching? So I am very much a fan of that.
5:52
Speaker 1: You know what I'm not a fan of. It's time
5:56
Speaker 1: for Benched Buzz. We're bringing you all the goss from
6:01
Speaker 1: the NFL World. Let's go live to our feature correspondent
6:05
Speaker 1: Rachel Bonetta. Guys, the starting off as a joke because
6:09
Speaker 1: maybe I didn't in my core, I didn't think that
6:13
Speaker 1: it was real. I didn't think that the number one
6:17
Speaker 1: hobby and WiFi in the NFL would separate and go
6:21
Speaker 1: their own ways. There everyone's mommy and daddy, you know,
6:23
Speaker 1: if you know what I mean. It was that weird
6:25
Speaker 1: that I said that. I said it. It's already. It's
6:26
Speaker 1: too late. I'm recording my own podcast. I can't go
6:28
Speaker 1: back and delete it. Tom and Giselle reportedly hired divorce
6:33
Speaker 1: lawyers this week, and listen, I saw all of you guys.
6:37
Speaker 1: I saw all of you guys sliding into the dms
6:39
Speaker 1: being like, oh my god, I can't wait for the
6:40
Speaker 1: gossip update. You think I'm kidding, but actually a lot
6:42
Speaker 1: of people are very much invested in this storyline, especially
6:47
Speaker 1: on this podcast. So they apparently got divorce lawyers. I
6:51
Speaker 1: think the most recent conversation on Twitter today was like,
6:55
Speaker 1: why are you guys making such a big deal of it?
6:57
Speaker 1: I like, um, Giselle actually makes way more money than Tom,
7:00
Speaker 1: which is like, go Giselle, go your own way, Spread
7:05
Speaker 1: your Wings day, Leonardo DiCaprio. I think there was some
7:09
Speaker 1: There were some people talking about, like who's going to
7:11
Speaker 1: be her next boyfriend. Pete Davidson was on that list.
7:14
Speaker 1: Leo Decapps was on that list, Brad Pitt was on
7:18
Speaker 1: that list. Listen, if Tom's not going to give Giselle
7:20
Speaker 1: the time of day, Giselle is a queen and she
7:25
Speaker 1: deserves the world, and she deserves somebody that's going to
7:28
Speaker 1: retire and stay retired. And I know a couple of
7:30
Speaker 1: weeks ago, we talked about Tom Brady coming back on Wednesdays,
7:33
Speaker 1: which he famously said, I'm taking Wednesdays off this year
7:36
Speaker 1: to rest, and then he was at Wednesday practiced a
7:39
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, but he was out again this week.
7:43
Speaker 1: According to reports, it's from his shoulder and from his
7:47
Speaker 1: sore finger, but maybe they weren't meeting with doors. I
7:52
Speaker 1: hope they're okay. I hope that we're blowing this up
7:54
Speaker 1: and it's absolutely nothing. Otherwise, that's just it's gonna break
7:57
Speaker 1: my heart. It's gonna break anyways. We're gonna keep you
8:01
Speaker 1: updated on all the divorce drama, gossip. This is the
8:04
Speaker 1: best part of this show. We are all loving. It
8:06
Speaker 1: is my birthday. We are celebrating. I have an unopened
8:09
Speaker 1: bottle of champagne besigny. Do I pop it before the
8:12
Speaker 1: end of the show. We will see don't go anywhere.
8:14
Speaker 1: We're taking a break. Look at to secure to bad. Okay,
8:27
Speaker 1: it is time four pick six. We've got six games
8:31
Speaker 1: we are breaking down. My scores are the only ones
8:33
Speaker 1: that count this week, so that means I'm going to
8:35
Speaker 1: have hopefully six straight wins and all these six points
8:39
Speaker 1: up on the bullizze. I have no idea who's in
8:41
Speaker 1: the lead. Let's just say me. It's my birthday. Let's
8:43
Speaker 1: just save me. We got Patriots Lions up first. I'm
8:46
Speaker 1: going Lions twenty four to twenty one, and hold on,
8:52
Speaker 1: hold the phone. This is the best news I know.
8:55
Speaker 1: We usually do best things I heard and worst things
8:57
Speaker 1: I heard. We save that for the end of the show.
8:58
Speaker 1: But that they should have actually led the show. I
9:02
Speaker 1: just found out that Mac jones real name is Michael
9:07
Speaker 1: McCorkle Jones. Okay, let me see that one more time.
9:11
Speaker 1: Michael McCorkle, m c another c O. R K L. E. Jones,
9:22
Speaker 1: Michael McCorkle Jones, is day to day. Okay, he is
9:26
Speaker 1: not going to be. We don't know he's he's limited
9:28
Speaker 1: in practice. He's got like an upper ankle sprain situation.
9:32
Speaker 1: What's going on? We saw Bill Belichick absolutely freaking out
9:37
Speaker 1: last week. I don't even think I've seen him that mad.
9:40
Speaker 1: But we don't know what's happening with McCorkle, if he's
9:42
Speaker 1: gonna play or not. People are saying, we're most likely
9:45
Speaker 1: going to see the rookie for the Patriots play. We
9:48
Speaker 1: don't know what. We don't know what Billy's gonna look like,
9:50
Speaker 1: we don't know what that vibe is going to be.
9:52
Speaker 1: So I'm going the lines because the lines have been
9:54
Speaker 1: putting up points on the board lately. When they lost
9:57
Speaker 1: to Seattle. Was that last week or that we before
10:00
Speaker 1: My brain is completely gone? Did you guys see how
10:03
Speaker 1: sad Dan Campbell looked like it almost looked like he
10:05
Speaker 1: was going to scort some tears out of his eyes.
10:09
Speaker 1: He looked so depressed because they are trying so hard
10:12
Speaker 1: to win a dang football game and putting up point
10:15
Speaker 1: The offense is putting up points and the defense is
10:17
Speaker 1: letting the other offense put up points. It is just
10:19
Speaker 1: back and forth and back and forth. So I'm going Lions.
10:22
Speaker 1: I want them to get this win over Bill Belichick.
10:24
Speaker 1: That would be very satisfying for me. Lions twenty four
10:26
Speaker 1: to twenty one. Bills Steelers Listen. I'm really excited to
10:31
Speaker 1: get to see more of mister tiny hands Kenny Pickett.
10:34
Speaker 1: But unfortunately for Kenny, the Bills currently have the number
10:39
Speaker 1: one past defense, sir No, without Tja. TJ. Watt went
10:46
Speaker 1: down Week one without him. They have been having a
10:49
Speaker 1: pretty rough season. So I'm all for Kenny turning this
10:53
Speaker 1: team around. I just don't think it's going to happen
10:55
Speaker 1: this week against the dang Buffalo Bills. And I'm going
10:58
Speaker 1: to tell you something about Josh challenging a little bit
11:01
Speaker 1: that's gonna blow your mind and kind of gross you out.
11:03
Speaker 1: Bills all the way thirty one to twenty one. I'm
11:05
Speaker 1: giving them a big win here. Rams Cowboys. The Rams
11:09
Speaker 1: are favored by foe and a half. Does that surprise
11:13
Speaker 1: anybody else? I guess they're at home. I'm taking Cowboys
11:15
Speaker 1: twenty four to seventeen. Dak is apparently still having issues
11:19
Speaker 1: gripping the ball, which sucks, but that means Cooper Rush
11:23
Speaker 1: is going to be continuing to play. I know Jerry
11:25
Speaker 1: Jones wants this quarterback controversy. I still think it's absolutely
11:29
Speaker 1: mayhem and wild that he said that to media, this skander.
11:36
Speaker 1: But Cooper Rush has been He's been a real nice
11:39
Speaker 1: filling for Dak's the only quarterback in NFL history to
11:43
Speaker 1: win each of his first four career starts and have
11:46
Speaker 1: a ninety plus passer rating in each win. So he's
11:50
Speaker 1: winning those games and doing a pretty good job at it.
11:54
Speaker 1: And the Cowboys even has been pretty decent. Actually, they've
11:56
Speaker 1: been allowing only fifteen points per game in twenty twenty two,
11:58
Speaker 1: which is the third in the NFL. Give me the
12:00
Speaker 1: Cowboys over the Rams in this one, Packers, Giants, London.
12:04
Speaker 1: I'm going to be there. Oh, I wonder who I'm
12:07
Speaker 1: interviewing before this show. It was the Ted Lasso crew
12:10
Speaker 1: last week, and I told you guys that I went
12:12
Speaker 1: into the suite and I was a total loser, and
12:16
Speaker 1: a lot of you guys tweeted at me this week
12:17
Speaker 1: and said, if I saw you being a total loser,
12:19
Speaker 1: I'd come and sit with you, and that's really nice,
12:22
Speaker 1: but nobody did, so I was just by myself in
12:24
Speaker 1: the ted Lasso suite, just praying and wishing that it
12:27
Speaker 1: would be over soon so I could go and be
12:29
Speaker 1: the awkward, weird person I am and sit in the corner.
12:32
Speaker 1: I am going Packers. Like I said, Aaron Jones was
12:35
Speaker 1: talking to him, he was fired up, and I think
12:37
Speaker 1: the last week, you know, the three and one, which
12:40
Speaker 1: like normally I think people would be pretty stoked about.
12:43
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is like pretty pissed about everything and said
12:46
Speaker 1: that this way of winning is not sustainable, just like
12:49
Speaker 1: coming down to the wire getting the dub. So I'm
12:53
Speaker 1: really excited to see him continue to put more pressure
12:56
Speaker 1: on his offense. Anesty, It's just the whole team. I'm
12:59
Speaker 1: a little bit worried about them, yead. I'm not entirely
13:01
Speaker 1: sure when the Giants are arriving, but I know that
13:03
Speaker 1: the Packers are getting here on Friday. That seems really
13:06
Speaker 1: chaotic to me to turn around two days later and
13:09
Speaker 1: play a game on a totally different time zone and
13:11
Speaker 1: be physical. We were talking about this last week. I
13:14
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. That just seems wild to me.
13:17
Speaker 1: But I'm still going Packers twenty seven to seventeen. Daniel
13:20
Speaker 1: Jones is still day to day after his ankle injury.
13:23
Speaker 1: We saw a stake when Barkley throw the ball last week.
13:25
Speaker 1: It was absolute madness for the Giants. So I'm gonna
13:29
Speaker 1: go Packers here. This is safe bet Ravens Bengals. I
13:34
Speaker 1: want this to be high scoring. I honestly don't care
13:36
Speaker 1: who wins. I have Ravens winnings just because they're at home.
13:38
Speaker 1: Thirty one to twenty seven. I could see this going
13:41
Speaker 1: either way. The Ravens are favored by three. I want
13:44
Speaker 1: I want Joe Burrow. Listen, he's coming, he's coming into
13:47
Speaker 1: his element. He's starting to wear the fancy suits again
13:50
Speaker 1: when he's arriving. I think that that has for some
13:52
Speaker 1: reason made a difference in his life. They've they've won
13:55
Speaker 1: their last two. I believe I want him to go off. Okay,
13:58
Speaker 1: this Ravens past defense is ranked last in the end
14:03
Speaker 1: all they're bad. Okay, this is the perfect kind of
14:06
Speaker 1: like get rights, like get ball and Joe back. Okay.
14:11
Speaker 1: I know he's like continuously just getting destroyed, like protect
14:14
Speaker 1: your man's, protect your man's. But I feel like this
14:17
Speaker 1: is a good spot for him to fully get his
14:19
Speaker 1: mojo back. I like the over in this game. I
14:23
Speaker 1: think more. I want it to be high scoring defense,
14:25
Speaker 1: take the day off. Finally, we have Eagles Cardinals. I'm
14:29
Speaker 1: going Eagles thirty one to twenty four. Okay, listen to this.
14:33
Speaker 1: The Eagles are the loan remaining undefeated team in the NFL.
14:35
Speaker 1: Right we know this. The last undefeated team has not
14:40
Speaker 1: gone on to win the Super Bowl in any of
14:43
Speaker 1: the last fifteen seasons. Every single time that we have
14:49
Speaker 1: the last undefeated team, whoever that would be, has not
14:52
Speaker 1: gone on to win the Super Bowl in any of
14:54
Speaker 1: the fifteen seasons. Are the Eagles going to be the
14:56
Speaker 1: first one in fifteen years to write that ship? Buy in?
15:01
Speaker 1: Eagles are super fun. I'm all the way in thirty
15:04
Speaker 1: one to twenty four they win over the Cardinals. Okay. Then, finally,
15:07
Speaker 1: the best and the worst thing I saw this week,
15:10
Speaker 1: best one thousand percent is McCorkle Jones. Mccorkill jones is
15:15
Speaker 1: day to day. We love him, we love the name.
15:17
Speaker 1: We are team mccorkill Jones on this pod. The worst
15:20
Speaker 1: thing that I saw. I love Kyle Brandt. He's a
15:24
Speaker 1: coworker of mine. He's got this awesome show Kyle Brandt's basement,
15:27
Speaker 1: just like Pat McAfee has Aaron Rodgers on every single Tuesday,
15:31
Speaker 1: Kyle gets Josh Allen, which is so fun. And there's
15:35
Speaker 1: been so many storylines that have come out of this
15:37
Speaker 1: podcast already. This is the craziest one. So apparently Josh
15:40
Speaker 1: Allen throws up before games. This is the worst thing
15:43
Speaker 1: I saw, By the way, if I haven't already made
15:45
Speaker 1: that clear, this is what he said. I've got some
15:47
Speaker 1: guys that usually throw up in the room with me.
15:51
Speaker 1: I tried to convince myself that it's like primal something, Primal,
15:55
Speaker 1: Hungry Warrior is going to fight harder. It's my body
15:59
Speaker 1: telling me, all right, get this up so you can
16:03
Speaker 1: go out there and fight harder. This is it just
16:10
Speaker 1: makes me feel like a teeny tiny whimp that likes
16:14
Speaker 1: to take naps and you know, we'll maybe have a
16:17
Speaker 1: bite of a banana before going on the treadmill. This
