- 1:00Speaker 1: but Stucky, before we tune up the new band, We've
- 1:04Speaker 1: got some pretty big shoes to phil, don't we.
- 1:06Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, this is awkward because I'm used to being
- 1:08Speaker 3: a guest on The Favorites, a show that I loved
- 1:11Speaker 3: with Chad and Simon and now here I am hosting it.
- 1:14Speaker 3: So I'm sure a lot of people that are we
- 1:16Speaker 3: loyal listeners Chad and Simon are like what ended up happening.
- 1:19Speaker 3: I don't know what people know, but basically it was
- 1:21Speaker 3: just like contractual stuff which happens in business, and Simon
- 1:25Speaker 3: wasn't going to come back, and then Chad decided to
- 1:27Speaker 3: go with him to keep the show going. Sharper Square
- 1:30Speaker 3: and I hope you give us a chance. It's gonna
- 1:31Speaker 3: be a really fun show. Kendra's a degenerate ball, certified
- 1:35Speaker 3: ball and now We've been trying to hire for a
- 1:37Speaker 3: while and I've been wanting to do like a more
- 1:40Speaker 3: fun NFL based show, which is what this will be.
- 1:42Speaker 3: We'll give picks and Brandon that's the perfect radio voice
- 1:45Speaker 3: to be the host. So yeah, I'm really looking forward
- 1:48Speaker 3: to this. I love Chad. He was the second hire
- 1:51Speaker 3: on the Contents based after me. We helped start Action.
- 1:54Speaker 3: I got to know Simon really well. I wish them
- 1:56Speaker 3: nothing but the best. But yeah, looking forward to chopping
- 1:59Speaker 3: it up with you guys know a little bit more
- 2:01Speaker 3: about you and hopefully giving out some winners and there
- 2:03Speaker 3: will be still like we're gonna have a Sunday recap
- 2:06Speaker 3: show starting this Sunday. Thursday will be more pick centric.
- 2:10Speaker 3: This will be more like recap high level. We'll get
- 2:12Speaker 3: out some picks too, but you'll still have Evan Abrams
- 2:15Speaker 3: will be here to give some nuggets, which he'll make
- 2:17Speaker 3: his appearance at the end of this show, so there'll
- 2:20Speaker 3: still be a lot of the same characters around. Yeah,
- 2:22Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to it.
- 2:23Speaker 1: This podcast is one that was a weekly listened for me.
- 2:26Speaker 1: So if you're listening to this right now, we appreciate
- 2:29Speaker 1: you taking a shot on the new crew. Now, one
- 2:31Speaker 1: of the big news stories I want to get to
- 2:32Speaker 1: Monday Night Football in a moment. But Tank Bigsby sent
- 2:35Speaker 1: from Jacksonville to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for twenty
- 2:39Speaker 1: twenty sixth, fifth and sixth round pick.
- 2:42Speaker 3: Kench was a diehard Jags fan.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Kendra, I heard you found out the news well shopping
- 2:47Speaker 1: through Costco.
- 2:48Speaker 2: What was that disaster like for you?
- 2:50Speaker 4: I fell to my knees in a Costco yesterday and
- 2:55Speaker 4: hung up the phone on my mother. Okay, so I've
- 2:58Speaker 4: been saying for a couple of weeks that this running
- 3:00Speaker 4: after they drafted Baseil Tuton was not going to look
- 3:02Speaker 4: the same by the trade zadline. I thought that personally
- 3:05Speaker 4: he was gonna be Travis Etn because I don't think
- 3:07Speaker 4: that you should ever pay a running back. I get
- 3:09Speaker 4: the franchise tag thing is still an option with him
- 3:11Speaker 4: because he was a first round pick, but you never
- 3:14Speaker 4: pay a running back in my opinion. So I thought
- 3:16Speaker 4: that maybe they were going to try and show him off,
- 3:17Speaker 4: get his trade value up a little bit, and they
- 3:19Speaker 4: were going to probably try and run with Tank and Tootin.
- 3:23Speaker 5: But I'm a big Tank Bigsby girl. I'm an Auburn girl.
- 3:26Speaker 5: Covered his recruitment at Auburn. I get that he's kind
- 3:29Speaker 5: of a turnover machine, and people are probably like, you're
- 3:31Speaker 5: freaking out about your favorite player being Tank Bigsby going
- 3:34Speaker 5: to a winner, which Gladstone did do right by him,
- 3:37Speaker 5: sent him to a winner. If I know anything about
- 3:39Speaker 5: James Gladstone, he's piling these.
- 3:41Speaker 6: Picks up for somebody.
- 3:43Speaker 5: If you look at all the picks that they've accumulated
- 3:45Speaker 5: in the off season, it's a lot of late round
- 3:47Speaker 5: picks they're going for somebody. So it better be a
- 3:50Speaker 5: good return. He better win a Super Bowl. You guys
- 3:53Speaker 5: can imagine. I know that you guys have been to
- 3:54Speaker 5: Costco before. Imagine trying to get through the panic of
- 3:58Speaker 5: late night Costco, trying to out and finding out your
- 4:01Speaker 5: favorite player has been traded and they were out.
- 4:03Speaker 6: Of hot dogs. I couldn't even get a sadness hot dog.
- 4:06Speaker 3: Yeah, diehard Jacks fan. What is the craziest thing, like
- 4:09Speaker 3: memorabilia or something that you have in your place?
- 4:12Speaker 6: I have a Matt Jones.
- 4:13Speaker 3: Jersey Collin would like that.
- 4:15Speaker 1: Do you?
- 4:16Speaker 3: And then now you work in Boston? Do you hate love?
- 4:19Speaker 6: Or the Patriots ruined my life?
- 4:22Speaker 5: I was on the floor in the fetal position during
- 4:25Speaker 5: the twenty seventeen AFC Championship game, and I don't think
- 4:28Speaker 5: I'll ever recover. I think I'm a part of me
- 4:30Speaker 5: is still on that floor.
- 4:31Speaker 3: Cord I was a fumble, by the way, thank.
- 4:33Speaker 6: You, thank you.
- 4:34Speaker 2: Ball nowhere for sure, we know, yeah we got robbed.
- 4:37Speaker 1: As far as Monday night football goes, we saw the
- 4:40Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings bounce back after a hot start from Kayleb Williams,
- 4:44Speaker 1: who was taking the check downs. He played with patients,
- 4:46Speaker 1: and it felt like the Brian Johnson effect was immediate.
- 4:50Speaker 1: I made the classic mistake of tweeting way too early
- 4:53Speaker 1: about how impressed I was with Kateleb Williams. Second half,
- 4:56Speaker 1: Kayleb Williams looked a lot more like rookie year Kayleb
- 4:58Speaker 1: Williams where he fell into the bad habits. He's dropping
- 5:01Speaker 1: way too far into the pocket and trying to play
- 5:03Speaker 1: Superman stucky. Did you see positive signs from Caleb or
- 5:08Speaker 1: were more of the same? Where are you at as
- 5:10Speaker 1: far as the bears and you know, feel free to
- 5:12Speaker 1: throw the vikings in there as well.
- 5:13Speaker 2: After what you watched on Monday night.
- 5:15Speaker 3: I thought Caleb showed some good things, but he still
- 5:17Speaker 3: had like you mentioned, he still had some of his
- 5:19Speaker 3: poor tendency, so he still got a while to go.
- 5:22Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy really the ability to compose himself very first
- 5:27Speaker 3: start at night. It was a disaster for the first
- 5:29Speaker 3: three quarters, but to have that fourth quarter I thought
- 5:32Speaker 3: was extremely promising. There's a ton of hot takes on
- 5:36Speaker 3: Twitter that people probably had a delete. I know I
- 5:38Speaker 3: tweeted out like the lights are too bright, but he
- 5:42Speaker 3: composed himself. Well. My biggest beat in that game well
- 5:46Speaker 3: twofold one kickers. Kickers were the story of the weekend,
- 5:49Speaker 3: in my opinion, like the Ravens awesome a missed extra
- 5:52Speaker 3: point the speaking of the Patriots, the Ravens had Justin
- 5:55Speaker 3: Tucker forever and obviously fell off a little bit, you know,
- 5:59Speaker 3: last year, but pretty much every year for over a decade,
- 6:04Speaker 3: the Ravens had one of the most reliable kickers the NFL.
- 6:07Speaker 3: I'm a Ravens fan. I never had a sweat. The
- 6:09Speaker 3: last kick before Justin Tucker took over is the worst
- 6:12Speaker 3: game I was ever at in my life, and that
- 6:15Speaker 3: was Ravens at Patriots in the playoffs when Billy Kundiff
- 6:19Speaker 3: missed the thirty three arder. Absolute nightmare, absolute nightmare drive
- 6:23Speaker 3: back home that night. It was awful all around. But
- 6:26Speaker 3: those the two games that Sandwich Tucker, where you're rookie
- 6:32Speaker 3: who missed an extra point in a one point loss,
- 6:33Speaker 3: and then Kundiff who ended the season missing that chip
- 6:37Speaker 3: shot field goal in Foxborough. But you also had Cleveland.
- 6:41Speaker 3: What's new Cleveland has kicker problems. They missed an extra point,
- 6:43Speaker 3: lost by one. The Steelers, they probably the best kicker
- 6:46Speaker 3: in the NFL, hit a sixty yarder in one Atlanta
- 6:49Speaker 3: Coup I thought he was just hurt last year. Maybe
- 6:51Speaker 3: he's lost it. He misses a kick the fourth overtime
- 6:54Speaker 3: and then san Frent get a homeless guy off the street.
- 6:57Speaker 3: Anybody but Moody. They keep doing this. I don't understand
- 7:00Speaker 3: how long. I don't know why they keep going. They
- 7:02Speaker 3: keep trotting Moody out there and expecting different results. But
- 7:05Speaker 3: the other storyline, in my opinion, was co like just
- 7:08Speaker 3: bad coaching decisions. We assume that coaches understand like clock
- 7:14Speaker 3: management and time management as well as I think that
- 7:18Speaker 3: a lot of betters understand it more because we're watching
- 7:20Speaker 3: all of the games. We're like, okay, if this happens
- 7:23Speaker 3: before the two minute warning, you better call time. Coaches
- 7:26Speaker 3: are just, you know, they're grinding film. They're kind of
- 7:28Speaker 3: just watching it from an ex's and o's perspective. They're
- 7:31Speaker 3: not sweating and betting all these games, So just some
- 7:34Speaker 3: basic fundamental time and clock management is It's so bizarre
- 7:40Speaker 3: to me that they don't understand it. But harball, he
- 7:42Speaker 3: messed up a couple times the game, and why did
- 7:44Speaker 3: he punt it? McDonald for the Seahawks doesn't go for
- 7:48Speaker 3: it on fourth and one, kicks a field goal, He
- 7:51Speaker 3: says after the game. Their model said they should go
- 7:54Speaker 3: for it, But so you get analytics, guys, you get
- 7:57Speaker 3: a model, but you just override it and kick the field.
- 8:00Speaker 3: At Johnson last night, you got to kick that ball
- 8:02Speaker 3: out of bounds. Santos doesn't have the leg to get
- 8:04Speaker 3: it out of the back of the end zone. You
- 8:05Speaker 3: can't give up the two minute warning. There games basically
- 8:08Speaker 3: over when that happens. Callahan for the Titans. One of
- 8:12Speaker 3: the most ridiculous things I've ever seen. At the end
- 8:14Speaker 3: of the half. You were a rookie quarterback, you're winning,
- 8:17Speaker 3: there's fifty seconds to go, You're backed up at your
- 8:19Speaker 3: own six. They only have one time out or two times.
- 8:23Speaker 3: All you have to do is run it three times,
- 8:24Speaker 3: go to the half, you're up three, feeling good. Instead,
- 8:27Speaker 3: you throw it three times like you're not going down
- 8:28Speaker 3: the field against ever. You throw it three times, have
- 8:31Speaker 3: to punt from the one and Denver scores a touchdown.
- 8:34Speaker 3: He also didn't challenge a play on the sidelines because
- 8:37Speaker 3: he thought an elbow does an equal two knees, and
- 8:39Speaker 3: he said it in the press. Are after ridiculous Stalley
- 8:41Speaker 3: not calling time at the end of the half. I
- 8:42Speaker 3: would go on and on. It's an epidemic throughout the NFL.
- 8:47Speaker 3: That's what got me fired up.
- 8:48Speaker 6: We've won for everybody.
- 8:50Speaker 1: I mean, you're right, like the analytics departments, these are
- 8:53Speaker 1: six figure jobs. Why hot, Why spend the money if
- 8:56Speaker 1: you're not gonna go for it on fourth and one.
- 8:58Speaker 5: I'd like to point out that you also the Patriots.
- 9:01Speaker 5: They were down two scores and decided to punt late
- 9:04Speaker 5: in the game. That's another coaching, terrible crazy thing to me.
- 9:08Speaker 1: If we're talking week one reactions, Kendra, I have a
- 9:11Speaker 1: hard time not looking the way of the Green Bay
- 9:13Speaker 1: Packers and just gushing over that sort of performance. The
- 9:17Speaker 1: addition of Micah Parsons, but even without him, that defense
- 9:20Speaker 1: was flying around against Detroit. Is there one for you
- 9:23Speaker 1: that stands out? We have seen a big shift in
- 9:25Speaker 1: the market as far as the Packers go. They were
- 9:27Speaker 1: fourteen to one to win the Super Bowl now plus
- 9:29Speaker 1: eight p fifty over undraftkings.
- 9:31Speaker 5: I would like to say the Colts are my biggest
- 9:34Speaker 5: WTF moment of the weekend. I knew that the Dolphins
- 9:37Speaker 5: weren't going to be great. I would say the Colts
- 9:39Speaker 5: were the biggest surprise to me. I didn't know who
- 9:42Speaker 5: was going to win this game. I thought it was
- 9:43Speaker 5: going to be.
- 9:43Speaker 6: An absolute mid off.
- 9:45Speaker 5: But the fact that the Colts went out there, they
- 9:47Speaker 5: looked good. Daniel Jones looked honestly incredible. His stat line
- 9:51Speaker 5: is disgusting. I think that we could get your money
- 9:54Speaker 5: in on Mike McDaniel being the first coach out this
- 9:56Speaker 5: season because I don't think that there's anybody else that
- 9:58Speaker 5: they could be as an option. That's probably my biggest,
- 10:02Speaker 5: my biggest overreaction on.
- 10:04Speaker 6: Like, I don't think the Colts are gonna stay good.
- 10:06Speaker 6: They're in a bad division.
- 10:07Speaker 5: Obviously, there's not a ton of competition as far as
- 10:10Speaker 5: outside the Texans. I don't think Jacksonville is going to
- 10:12Speaker 5: be that great. I have them probably middling this season,
- 10:15Speaker 5: but maybe maybe there's like a playoff.
- 10:17Speaker 6: Spot that could come open in the AFC. I don't know.
- 10:20Speaker 5: It's going to depend on how the AFC West shakes out.
- 10:22Speaker 5: I think they're just gonna beat this shit out of
- 10:23Speaker 5: each other all season. But if they stay healthy and
- 10:26Speaker 5: Daniel Jones could be one of these guys that we've seen,
- 10:28Speaker 5: you know, the Geno Smith thing, We've seen, the Baker
- 10:30Speaker 5: Mayfield thing, We've seen the Sam Darnold thing. If that
- 10:33Speaker 5: can be Daniel Jones, the Colts have a really good roster.
- 10:37Speaker 5: I'm sorry, but they do. They just haven't gotten production
- 10:39Speaker 5: out of it the last couple of seasons. And if
- 10:41Speaker 5: weirdly enough, Daniel Jones can be the guy to turn
- 10:44Speaker 5: that around. Maybe he just wasn't being taken care of
- 10:46Speaker 5: the way that he should have been with other teams.
- 10:49Speaker 5: I'm trying not to overreact about the freaking cult and
- 10:51Speaker 5: Daniel Jones, but it's hard not to.
- 10:53Speaker 1: That game to me, tells me nothing about Danny Dimes.
- 10:57Speaker 1: I mean, he's putting up. He did things that Peyton
- 10:58Speaker 1: Manning didn't do as a cult. That's because of the
- 11:00Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. They put him in so many easy situations.
- 11:04Speaker 2: Very early in that game.
- 11:05Speaker 1: Tool was an absolute disaster. If we're looking at reclamation projects,
- 11:09Speaker 1: because you're right, Kendrick, that is a theme right now
- 11:11Speaker 1: in the NFL. We're seeing these guys that were first
- 11:14Speaker 1: round picks that were cast offs and then end up
- 11:17Speaker 1: thriving and signing big contracts down the road. If I
- 11:20Speaker 1: had to circle somebody from week one that fits that
- 11:23Speaker 1: bill even better than Danny Dimes.
- 11:25Speaker 2: It's justin fields.
- 11:27Speaker 1: I know he lost, but I gained a lot of
- 11:29Speaker 1: respect for the New York Jets this weekend. They're a
- 11:32Speaker 1: team that for me, I mean, I have my own
- 11:34Speaker 1: little Jankie power ratings. They're a team I actually moved
- 11:37Speaker 1: up based on their performance. Stucky, do you feel better
- 11:41Speaker 1: or worse about the New York Jets given what you
- 11:43Speaker 1: saw in that game against Pittsburgh. I know they gave
- 11:46Speaker 1: up a lot of points, but the offense at least
- 11:47Speaker 1: has an identity.
- 11:48Speaker 3: I thought the Jets probably deserve to win the game,
- 11:50Speaker 3: like something's never changed. The Steelers the first they always win.
- 11:54Speaker 3: They win in every close game possible. They get a
- 11:56Speaker 3: turnover in the fourth quarter the first like second of
- 11:58Speaker 3: the first fourth quarter of the scene, and for them,
- 12:00Speaker 3: there was a fumble on a kickoff that flipped the game.
- 12:03Speaker 3: But yeah, I was really impressed. I didn't know how
- 12:04Speaker 3: it was going to work. But you know, granted it's
- 12:06Speaker 3: only one game, but yeah, I mean I took the
- 12:09Speaker 3: seven with them this week against the Bills. The Bills
- 12:12Speaker 3: have defensive issues. I think the Jets can hang around
- 12:14Speaker 3: in that game. And I agree with Kendra. The biggest
- 12:18Speaker 3: power rating adjustment that I made was the Colts. It
- 12:21Speaker 3: would be so Giants, like they can't do anything right.
- 12:24Speaker 3: The Giants, it's just a broken franchise. You have Takuon Barkley,
- 12:29Speaker 3: you couldn't get the most out. He goes to Philly
- 12:31Speaker 3: is the MVP rushers for two thousand yards. Like now
- 12:34Speaker 3: you bring in Russ you still can't protect them. Andrew
- 12:36Speaker 3: Thomas is out again, of course, and you get blown
- 12:39Speaker 3: out in week one. It would be so Giants that
- 12:41Speaker 3: Daniel Jones goes to the Colts and like Kendra mentioned,
- 12:45Speaker 3: they have the pieces like Anthony Richardson just couldn't complete
- 12:48Speaker 3: a forward pass, so you don't have to do it.
- 12:51Speaker 3: He doesn't have to do a ton. It doesn't have
- 12:52Speaker 3: to be a superstar. And the defense should be significantly proved.
- 12:56Speaker 3: They actually went out and got guys in the secondary
- 12:58Speaker 3: for once. Good job, Chris Power. They never did that before.
- 13:01Speaker 3: But most importantly, Gus Bradley's not there the worst defensive
- 13:03Speaker 3: quarter in the NFL. They upgraded there. They're not just
- 13:06Speaker 3: this basic predictable defense that everyone can prepare for and
- 13:09Speaker 3: know how to beat. So yeah, I think the Colts
- 13:12Speaker 3: could be feisty. I think the Jags could be feisty.
- 13:14Speaker 3: So that and the Titans too. I know that they lost,
- 13:17Speaker 3: but they're not a disaster anymore besides Callahan and some
- 13:21Speaker 3: of his coaching decisions. So that division is more interesting
- 13:26Speaker 3: than many might have thought coming into the year. But
- 13:28Speaker 3: the Jets and Colts definitely were pleasant surprises to watch.
- 13:32Speaker 1: Teams that play Miami are gonna get this massive boost
- 13:34Speaker 1: if they continue to look like that.
- 13:36Speaker 3: The vibes dram Miami are bad, like I could see
- 13:38Speaker 3: them moving, got more guys, and their off season was bad.
- 13:41Speaker 3: Their offensive lot like their draftings are such a poorly
- 13:43Speaker 3: run organization. But their O line is bad, their secondary
- 13:47Speaker 3: is horrendous. Tyreek Hill's not the same player.
- 13:50Speaker 2: What was it?
- 13:51Speaker 3: It's been one year since he had a thirty yards.
- 13:54Speaker 1: One hundred and sixty five days. Stucky that so the
- 13:57Speaker 1: one year anniversary was yesterday.
- 13:59Speaker 5: First of all, he'll had more children than touchdowns last year.
- 14:02Speaker 5: So Second of all, the Dolphins play the Patriots at
- 14:06Speaker 5: home this weekend. I'm probably going to be on the Dolphins.
- 14:11Speaker 5: That feels like a good bounce back spot to me.
- 14:14Speaker 5: Tua beats the crop out of the Patriots time and
- 14:16Speaker 5: time again. It's the one team that he consistently owns
- 14:20Speaker 5: no matter what. Drake may has issues right now. Vrabel
- 14:23Speaker 5: looks like he hasn't coached in a year, and to
- 14:26Speaker 5: be honest, the Patriots don't have any weapons. Christian Gonzalez,
- 14:29Speaker 5: big question mark of whether he's gonna play Tyreek might
- 14:32Speaker 5: be able to have like a little bit of a
- 14:34Speaker 5: get back in. I think it's a good spot for
- 14:36Speaker 5: the Dolphins this upcoming weekend.
- 14:37Speaker 6: I hate to say it.
- 14:38Speaker 5: They looked terrible, but I would honestly put the Colts
- 14:41Speaker 5: in the Patriots probably. I think the Colts are better
- 14:44Speaker 5: than the Patriots, so it might be a little bit
- 14:46Speaker 5: more evenly matched than we think. I might be chasing
- 14:48Speaker 5: the Dolphins this weekend. As bad as I truly think they.
- 14:50Speaker 1: Are, they are without a doubt, they will be the
- 14:53Speaker 1: ugliest bet on the board for anybody that goes in
- 14:55Speaker 1: that direction. And if you've been betting the NFL for
- 14:58Speaker 1: any length of time, you know that the ugly ones
- 15:00Speaker 1: that feel the most disgusting are usually the right sides
- 15:03Speaker 1: to be on. Kendra, I'm with you in that it's
- 15:06Speaker 1: Dolphins or pass, but I'm leaving I'm leaning much heavier
- 15:10Speaker 1: towards pass. With that game, because I do think the
- 15:12Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins might be broken.
- 15:14Speaker 5: Mike McDaniel is wishing for sweet death in press conferences.
- 15:18Speaker 6: There was There's nobody I would rather back right now.
- 15:20Speaker 6: I love how insane and weird he is.
- 15:23Speaker 5: I know that they're terrible, but if he is gonna
- 15:26Speaker 5: not get fired by week five, you have to beat
- 15:28Speaker 5: the Patriots.
- 15:29Speaker 6: You're not being the Patriots in January up here. It's
- 15:32Speaker 6: not happening. This has to be the game that you
- 15:34Speaker 6: get over them.
- 15:35Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 15:36Speaker 3: Miami also has still have a little bit of a
- 15:37Speaker 3: home field advantage this time of year. What's it's probate
- 15:40Speaker 3: to be about eighty percent humidity, so you have.
- 15:41Speaker 6: That it'll be one hundred percent.
- 15:44Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my god, this time of year. I'm willing
- 15:47Speaker 1: to give the Dolphins two points. As far as a
- 15:50Speaker 1: home field advantage later in the season, not a chance.
- 15:52Speaker 5: But I went to Week one in Miami last year.
- 15:55Speaker 5: There is no home field advantage in Miami, though, I.
- 15:57Speaker 2: Mean strictly for the weather. It's not. The fan base
- 16:01Speaker 2: has nothing to do with the Dolphins. Fans are terrible, a.
- 16:04Speaker 3: Pure front running town, like unless the teams is the
- 16:07Speaker 3: college any pro unless they're really really good and it's
- 16:10Speaker 3: a huge game.
- 16:12Speaker 1: Well it's the I mean, it's the sun beating on
- 16:14Speaker 1: the you know, on the community.
- 16:17Speaker 3: If you're a team from up north. Yeah, all of
- 16:19Speaker 3: those little little factors too, I think is he's twenty
- 16:23Speaker 3: and five straight up at home in the early window.
- 16:26Speaker 3: For what it's worth. But speaking of disgusting that Kendra
- 16:29Speaker 3: brought up a little Bernie told me that you sold
- 16:32Speaker 3: your toenails or nails to someone.
- 16:34Speaker 6: Now socks, true socks?
- 16:38Speaker 2: Get how much it?
- 16:39Speaker 5: Okay, So during COVID, I'm a twenty twenty graduate class
- 16:43Speaker 5: of twenty twenty, I had my job off for postgrad rescinded.
- 16:48Speaker 5: So during COVID I sold feet pictures and I made
- 16:54Speaker 5: like I think, forty grand between twenty twenty and twenty
- 16:58Speaker 5: twenty one.
- 16:59Speaker 6: And I will take.
- 17:01Speaker 5: On, you know, clients who want to pay an absorb
- 17:06Speaker 5: like an insane amount of money for my socks or whatever.
- 17:09Speaker 5: I'm not in the picture business anymore, just because my
- 17:14Speaker 5: dogs don't need to be barking these days. But if
- 17:17Speaker 5: you want some socks or something like that for a
- 17:19Speaker 5: ridiculous amount of money, you can tit me on Venmo
- 17:21Speaker 5: and I will consider mailing them to you.
- 17:24Speaker 3: Wow, what are you doing? What is that site? Were
- 17:27Speaker 3: you doing it on that site?
- 17:28Speaker 2: No?
- 17:29Speaker 5: I literally people would find me on Twitter and that's
- 17:31Speaker 5: how I got into it. I didn't know this, but
- 17:33Speaker 5: I posted like a picture at the beach or something
- 17:35Speaker 5: like that and found out that I have cute feet.
- 17:38Speaker 5: But you can use tofinder dot com if that is
- 17:40Speaker 5: more your jam, or you would like to remain anonymous.
- 17:42Speaker 6: But I have sold a picture five.
- 17:46Speaker 3: So people would just DM you and is this how
- 17:49Speaker 3: how did this start? Like so someone saw and then
- 17:53Speaker 3: said like, hey, I want more more.
- 17:56Speaker 6: Just the d M.
- 17:56Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 17:56Speaker 5: Last year in gifts, like like gifts sent to me
- 18:01Speaker 5: or like gift cards and stuff, I probably made like
- 18:03Speaker 5: six figures.
- 18:04Speaker 2: That's what. Yeah, stuck you. We gotta give the couch.
- 18:09Speaker 2: We gotta get this couch business.
- 18:11Speaker 6: This couch was a tip.
- 18:14Speaker 3: The problem is we're not we're ugly old men.
- 18:18Speaker 5: No no, no more clean men clean. You got to
- 18:22Speaker 5: think about it as okay. Foot fetishes are the number
- 18:25Speaker 5: one fetish in the world because the wiring in your
- 18:27Speaker 5: brain that recognizes like your appendages and what you find
- 18:31Speaker 5: attractive bounce off of one another, and a lot of
- 18:33Speaker 5: people like forty percent of people have foot fetishes, but
- 18:36Speaker 5: also men clean in this because not only are women,
- 18:41Speaker 5: you know, doing the thing to your feet, but also
- 18:44Speaker 5: gay men are doing the thing to your feet.
- 18:46Speaker 6: So you got double the market.
- 18:49Speaker 2: Unbelievable.
- 18:49Speaker 3: Wait so then, but once you got your first one,
- 18:52Speaker 3: how did you grow your business or did you just
- 18:54Speaker 3: one by one at a time?
- 18:57Speaker 5: Yeah, one at a time. That's that's why I ask people.
- 19:00Speaker 3: You didn't like tweet out like hey, if you want
- 19:02Speaker 3: now organic?
- 19:04Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 19:04Speaker 5: So it's like, that's the thing is that I'm only like,
- 19:07Speaker 5: only one person at a time.
- 19:09Speaker 6: That's why I ask people to send me.
- 19:10Speaker 5: A tip so I know if they're serious or not,
- 19:12Speaker 5: because I'm not going to just do this for a
- 19:14Speaker 5: couple hundred bucks like this that's not worth my time.
- 19:18Speaker 3: But yeah, now is there sock preference? Like what do
- 19:23Speaker 3: people ask for certain socks?
- 19:24Speaker 6: Tube socks for obvious reasons?
- 19:28Speaker 1: I imagine the word unwashed?
- 19:32Speaker 5: Yeah, gym post you got to wear them for like days.
- 19:38Speaker 3: Unbelie I didn't know that there's that much money in it,
- 19:41Speaker 3: you guys.
- 19:42Speaker 5: Everybody has a price, all right, what would your price be?
- 19:45Speaker 5: Let's say, like somebody wanted to buy a pair of
- 19:47Speaker 5: your use socks. You have to give them your socks,
- 19:49Speaker 5: wear them for two or three days, and then I like,
- 19:52Speaker 5: you just ship them out.
- 19:54Speaker 6: We would your price.
- 19:56Speaker 1: I would do it for a bonus bet. Yeah, I mean,
- 19:59Speaker 1: I guess may twenty dollars bonus the.
- 20:01Speaker 3: Castle of doing it. Uh, I mean yeah, I would
- 20:06Speaker 3: do it for a couple hundred dollars exactly.
- 20:10Speaker 6: You guys, are we in the foot game?
- 20:13Speaker 2: I cannot. I cannot.
- 20:14Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't edge on my DM for feet picks.
- 20:18Speaker 2: You've got this market.
- 20:20Speaker 3: So like there's like influences out there that are just
- 20:23Speaker 3: making a killing on this. All you have to do
- 20:26Speaker 3: is just tweet out one picture of your feet and
- 20:29Speaker 3: well that's yeah.
- 20:30Speaker 5: That's the thing is that, Like, what's somebody gonna do
- 20:32Speaker 5: be like, oh my god, you're such a slut.
- 20:34Speaker 6: You're selling pictures of your feet.
- 20:36Speaker 5: It's like, yeah, bro, people see them for free when
- 20:38Speaker 5: on our flip flops outside, Like, yeah, sorry, I'm selling
- 20:41Speaker 5: my body.
- 20:42Speaker 2: I respect the hell out of this.
- 20:44Speaker 3: I know there was that much, that much demand for it.
- 20:47Speaker 3: That is crazy.
- 20:48Speaker 6: Number one in the world.
- 20:50Speaker 1: Why are we even betting on sports? We should just
- 20:52Speaker 1: be selling our feet.
- 20:54Speaker 3: This is just an advertisement for that unbelievable hit me up.
- 20:57Speaker 1: I think this was all a way to see if
- 20:59Speaker 1: he can we get the host? Can we get the
- 21:00Speaker 1: new host Brandon Kravitz to awkwardly transition from from selling socks, We.
- 21:05Speaker 3: Did a podcast where there was a I did a
- 21:07Speaker 3: podcast where there was a guy who had a dog
- 21:09Speaker 3: fetish and not I had a dog fetish, but underdogs,
- 21:11Speaker 3: like wanted dogs to be seen like on air. Very bizarre,
- 21:16Speaker 3: but my speaking my dog, I took him to surgery
- 21:20Speaker 3: right before this. Everyone keeping your thoughts is second acl
- 21:23Speaker 3: but I need to find out. I do have to
- 21:25Speaker 3: ask more about Kendra as a not only did you
- 21:28Speaker 3: sell feet that she has a pregnant pet shrimp.
- 21:31Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 21:32Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 21:32Speaker 5: The lighting that's on me right now is my shrimp tank.
- 21:35Speaker 6: Meg is good, all right?
- 21:37Speaker 5: So I have Monicola shrimpsky Meg, Jumbo, and OJ Shrimpson.
- 21:44Speaker 5: So Meg is pregnant and it is shrimp insects because
- 21:48Speaker 5: there's only one boy in this tank and that boy
- 21:50Speaker 5: is her father.
- 21:51Speaker 3: Oh no, typical jag fan.
- 21:53Speaker 5: I know, typical, but yeah, I have probably like forty
- 21:57Speaker 5: snails and like five shrimp right now, and I think
- 22:00Speaker 5: that she's actually like laying her eggs because I haven't
- 22:02Speaker 5: seen her in a day or so.
- 22:04Speaker 6: So I'm gonna be a great grandparents soon. Shout out.
- 22:06Speaker 1: I had to I had to google rainbow shrimp. Beautiful creatures,
- 22:11Speaker 1: by the way. Yeah, I can see how they get impregnated.
- 22:13Speaker 1: These are lovely.
- 22:14Speaker 5: Animals and you don't have to do anything for them
- 22:17Speaker 5: because they eat their own shit, so I've never even
- 22:20Speaker 5: had to clean their tank ever.
- 22:22Speaker 6: They just exist all right.
- 22:23Speaker 3: This podcast The Rainbow Shrimp Game.
- 22:26Speaker 5: I really wanted a frog and my friends told me
- 22:30Speaker 5: I wanted a frog or a jumping spider. And because
- 22:33Speaker 5: they travel so much, people will like watch my dog.
- 22:35Speaker 5: And they were like, we're not taking care of a
- 22:36Speaker 5: frog or a spider. Pick something else.
- 22:38Speaker 6: So it was shrimp.
- 22:40Speaker 3: Okay, we just shrimp in your dog.
- 22:42Speaker 6: I have snails, shrimp and the dog. I really want
- 22:44Speaker 6: to get a spider though, like a tarantula.
- 22:48Speaker 5: No, they're called jumping spiders and they're like this big,
- 22:51Speaker 5: but they're like super friendly and they're really cute.
- 22:54Speaker 2: No, no, don't we don't need that. We don't need that.
- 22:56Speaker 1: On the podcast, we've officially gone in every direction possible today, guys,
- 23:00Speaker 1: real quick, before we dive heavier into Week two. I
- 23:04Speaker 1: gotta get this one out there because I find this
- 23:06Speaker 1: number so fascinating. We're talking about that the Packers, they
- 23:10Speaker 1: looked amazing. Nobody's gonna disagree with that. Jordan Love looks comfortable,
- 23:14Speaker 1: They run tough with Jacobs, and the defense looks like
- 23:17Speaker 1: one of the best in the NFL. They had a
- 23:19Speaker 1: big adjustment in terms of their Super Bowl odds. The Lions,
- 23:23Speaker 1: who are zero and one right now and face one
- 23:24Speaker 1: of the toughest schedules in the NFL, are minus one
- 23:28Speaker 1: twenty to miss the postseason. Not to make the postseason,
- 23:32Speaker 1: to miss the playoffs. We're talking about one of the
- 23:34Speaker 1: best teams in the NFL over the last couple of seasons, stucky.
- 23:38Speaker 1: Is that too big of an adjustment for the Lions
- 23:41Speaker 1: that you'd have to lay that much juice on them
- 23:43Speaker 1: to not make the playoffs after one week?
- 23:47Speaker 3: It's probably a proper adjustment in my opinion. I mean,
- 23:49Speaker 3: I was low on the lines coming into the year.
- 23:51Speaker 3: It's low on them. Last week you saw it, I mean,
- 23:55Speaker 3: goff was horrendous. How many times go did they drop back?
- 23:59Speaker 3: Like forty times for like one hundred and fifty yards?
- 24:01Speaker 3: There was no explosiveness. The interior offensive line is now
- 24:05Speaker 3: a huge liability, and you don't want to have a
- 24:08Speaker 3: liability in the interior OFFENSEI line with Jared Goff and
- 24:11Speaker 3: just watching God like it's it's amazing to watch GoF
- 24:14Speaker 3: in that game and then watch Lamar and Allen on
- 24:18Speaker 3: Sunday Night and just the difference, like there's no recourse
- 24:20Speaker 3: if there's pressure, and then the run game isn't as effective,
- 24:23Speaker 3: like you can't use Gof's legs and there's no there's
- 24:27Speaker 3: not as many easy buttons that Johnson is pushing on
- 24:29Speaker 3: that offense. So I think the coordinators, the offensive line,
- 24:33Speaker 3: the defensive line injuries. I think that the lines are
- 24:36Speaker 3: in trouble, especially in that very tough division. So no, don't.
- 24:40Speaker 3: I don't think it's an overreaction that they might have
- 24:42Speaker 3: just like missed their shot. It's a shame because they
- 24:45Speaker 3: were right in the mix. A couple plays here or
- 24:48Speaker 3: there could have got to the super Bowl the past
- 24:50Speaker 3: two seasons. But it might be over for Detroit. I
- 24:54Speaker 3: don't think they make the playoffs. I think this is
- 24:56Speaker 3: like M eight nine win team.
- 25:00Speaker 1: So I am Ron Burgundy, so I'm gonna follow the
- 25:03Speaker 1: I'm gonna follow the rundown that we have in front
- 25:05Speaker 1: of me. I have best and worst matchup of Week two.
- 25:08Speaker 1: I think we all already talked about the worst matchup
- 25:10Speaker 1: of Week two, and that's the Patriots.
- 25:11Speaker 2: And the Miami Dolphins.
- 25:13Speaker 1: If you find a side that you like or power
- 25:15Speaker 1: to you the best, I don't even think that.
- 25:17Speaker 2: I don't think that's debatable either.
- 25:19Speaker 1: We have a rematch of the super Bowl from last year,
- 25:22Speaker 1: the Eagles coming off of their Week one win against
- 25:24Speaker 1: the Cowboys and the Chiefs looking to bounce back at home.
- 25:28Speaker 1: Any disagreement from the crew here that that is hands
- 25:32Speaker 1: down the game to circle that everyone that's listening to
- 25:35Speaker 1: this podcast is gonna want to bet on heading into
- 25:38Speaker 1: Week two.
- 25:41Speaker 5: I would say that that's probably the game. I'm so
- 25:44Speaker 5: low on the Chiefs this season though. It's the Eagles
- 25:47Speaker 5: for me, and it's not even close, especially because everybody's
- 25:49Speaker 5: healthy at this point in the season. But looking at
- 25:51Speaker 5: this slate, give us nothing, NFL truly give us nothing.
- 25:56Speaker 5: It's like you're gonna get the Super Bowl rematch and
- 25:59Speaker 5: nothing else like it.
- 26:02Speaker 2: One Week one was thick. Week two you have to
- 26:06Speaker 2: be one of the sick gos if you're gonna sit
- 26:07Speaker 2: down all day for this one. One of the earliest
- 26:11Speaker 2: bets that I made.
- 26:13Speaker 1: I have about three or four that I've placed already
- 26:16Speaker 1: for Week two.
- 26:17Speaker 2: But I'm on the other side.
- 26:19Speaker 1: We have our first full disagreement as far as the side.
- 26:22Speaker 1: You know, I said I'm going to pass on the
- 26:24Speaker 1: Dolphins Patriots. You said you're gonna be on Miami. So
- 26:27Speaker 1: not a full not a full opposition there. I'm on
- 26:30Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs in this game plus one and
- 26:32Speaker 1: a half. Give me a great bi lo for Andy
- 26:35Speaker 1: Reid and Patrick Mahomes's home underdogs of more than a
- 26:38Speaker 1: point coming off of a loss with some semblance of
- 26:41Speaker 1: extended rest. I know Philly has some of that in
- 26:44Speaker 1: this game as well, but this feels like an auto
- 26:46Speaker 1: play to me. Stucky, you want to break the tie
- 26:49Speaker 1: on Chiefs Eagles.
- 26:52Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll have to come up with on our Thursday show.
- 26:54Speaker 3: We'll come up with like wagers that if we're against
- 26:57Speaker 3: each other, and then we'll come up with like our
- 27:00Speaker 3: one group bet of the week and things like that.
- 27:02Speaker 3: But I did bet the Chiefs is a dog here.
- 27:04Speaker 3: I'm it's just almost an autovat with Mahomes. I get
- 27:09Speaker 3: it though, like Worthy might not play, They're already without Rice.
- 27:12Speaker 3: The offense still has just no explosiveness. The secondary didn't
- 27:15Speaker 3: look great. I have some questions there against Herbert and
- 27:20Speaker 3: the Chargers. Who I mean, Herbert just destroyed them.
- 27:23Speaker 2: Herbert always dices them up, Yeah he does.
- 27:25Speaker 3: But and this Eagles offense, I still trust the Chiefs
- 27:30Speaker 3: run Dye, I trust bag Nola. I don't the Eagles
- 27:32Speaker 3: coordinator like their offensive coordinator. It could be like a
- 27:35Speaker 3: couple of years ago because what was that play calling.
- 27:39Speaker 3: I don't know that that could be a big downgrade there.
- 27:43Speaker 3: So I don't know if like Hurts in that passing
- 27:45Speaker 3: offense is going to be able to fully take advantage
- 27:47Speaker 3: of the Chiefs. So yeah, I'm on the Chiefs. We'll
- 27:50Speaker 3: come up with something for Thursday. But it was interesting
- 27:52Speaker 3: the Chiefs finally lost a one possession game. Maybe all
- 27:55Speaker 3: that regression comes this year. I mean, something's never changed
- 27:58Speaker 3: in the NFL, Like that's what we saw in Week one,
- 28:00Speaker 3: Like we had. San Francisco is just always injured and
- 28:03Speaker 3: they can't kick. The Ravens blow big leads, the Browns
- 28:06Speaker 3: lose heartbreakers because of a kicker, the Giants are a mess.
- 28:09Speaker 3: The Steelers forced to turn everyone by two. But what
- 28:12Speaker 3: the couple things that did change? The Chiefs lost the
- 28:15Speaker 3: one possession game, the Lions offense is now a mess,
- 28:19Speaker 3: and the Titans covered baby. I also bet the Titans
- 28:22Speaker 3: this week. I'm addicted. Now. Don't ask me about how
- 28:25Speaker 3: that went last year. No, thank you Sean Payton for
- 28:29Speaker 3: throwing it up in the air instead of kicking the
- 28:32Speaker 3: fueld goal. But Knicks Nicks looked, looked, looked rough. I
- 28:35Speaker 3: actually thought cam Ward was okay. Yeah, the stat line
- 28:40Speaker 3: won't show it, but that is.
- 28:42Speaker 1: You had wide receivers dropping passes left and right at
- 28:44Speaker 1: the end of the game. I think it was his dad.
- 28:46Speaker 1: They showed in the stands. Yeah it was Yeah. I
- 28:49Speaker 1: mean I figured it was a guy that looked like
- 28:50Speaker 1: cam Ward that had a cam Ward jersey on.
- 28:52Speaker 2: It would have been odd if it was somebody.
- 28:54Speaker 3: Was composed like. He didn't make it. He didn't pull
- 28:56Speaker 3: any levises. It was his first start on the road
- 28:59Speaker 3: in Natitude in Denver, it's one of the best defense
- 29:00Speaker 3: in the NFL. He looked poised, he had drops, he
- 29:04Speaker 3: had a catch that should have been a catch, and
- 29:07Speaker 3: he just didn't make any of the key mistakes. So yeah,
- 29:11Speaker 3: I played them this week at home and their defense
- 29:15Speaker 3: look good, So yeah, I'm going with the Titans.
- 29:19Speaker 2: So we'll make sure that we need.
- 29:24Speaker 1: Every week On Tuesday, we're at least gonna give you
- 29:26Speaker 1: one play that we already have in pocket. For me,
- 29:29Speaker 1: it's the Chiefs plus the one and a half. Kendrid,
- 29:33Speaker 1: do you have one that you would like to toss
- 29:35Speaker 1: out there? I knew, I know you got the Eagles,
- 29:37Speaker 1: you got the Dolphins, But is there one that you
- 29:40Speaker 1: are firmly planting your flag in right now as we
- 29:44Speaker 1: head into week two?
- 29:46Speaker 6: Yes, but we need to talk about this quickly.
- 29:49Speaker 5: I know that Jalen Carter might not he may debatedly
- 29:52Speaker 5: may or may not be worth a point in this situation.
- 29:56Speaker 5: But do we think he's going to be suspended for
- 29:59Speaker 5: this game? Because that's a huge thing here, like they
- 30:01Speaker 5: need they need Jalen Carter or what are what are
- 30:04Speaker 5: we going to find out about this? Do you guys
- 30:05Speaker 5: think he's going to get suspended? Do you think he
- 30:07Speaker 5: should be suspended? Do you think he's worth a point
- 30:09Speaker 5: in this situation? Does this turn into a pick him?
- 30:12Speaker 1: I think he's worth half a point strongly, and I
- 30:16Speaker 1: do think we would see we would probably see a
- 30:19Speaker 1: line shift if he plays. I think the Eagles would
- 30:23Speaker 1: be closer to two point m I think you'd get
- 30:28Speaker 1: back to the one. He would probably stand pat at
- 30:29Speaker 1: the one and a half. I don't think this number
- 30:31Speaker 1: ever gets to two. But should he get suspended, I
- 30:35Speaker 1: think he already served the punishment. I mean this happened
- 30:39Speaker 1: at the beginning of the game. He's technically already been
- 30:41Speaker 1: suspended for one football game.
- 30:44Speaker 5: In my opinion, I love I love the Eagles, hate
- 30:48Speaker 5: Georgia Football, hate Georgia Bulldogs. That was the most Georgia
- 30:51Speaker 5: Bulldogs thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
- 30:54Speaker 6: And I don't care about the whole Dak Prescott scene.
- 30:57Speaker 5: There's a difference between spitting at someone and spin on someone.
- 31:00Speaker 5: I think he deserves either a fat fine or a
- 31:04Speaker 5: game suspension, maybe two games. You cannot spit on someone
- 31:07Speaker 5: that fine.
- 31:09Speaker 2: I completely agree with that.
- 31:10Speaker 1: Already got the game suspension because he missed the entire
- 31:13Speaker 1: opening game of the season.
- 31:15Speaker 2: So what is your one plant the flag bet for
- 31:19Speaker 2: Week one?
- 31:20Speaker 6: You guys are too I'm disgusting. I am disgusting.
- 31:26Speaker 5: I am rocking so hard with the Carolina Panthers.
- 31:31Speaker 6: It is unbelievable.
- 31:34Speaker 5: I don't uh me no Carolina Panthers. I am so
- 31:40Speaker 5: high on this team this season. I've been talking about
- 31:42Speaker 5: it all off season. I get that they looked like
- 31:45Speaker 5: crap against a mid team, but I think the Panthers
- 31:48Speaker 5: are gonna be okay. They play in a terrible division.
- 31:50Speaker 5: I think Bryce Young made it. Getting benched last season
- 31:53Speaker 5: was the best thing that ever happened to Bryce Young.
- 31:56Speaker 5: He came back and was pretty much a completely different player.
- 31:59Speaker 5: I think Tete ro mc looked amazing in this game
- 32:01Speaker 5: despite everything that happened to them. I think Chewba Hubbard dog.
- 32:06Speaker 5: I think the Cardinals are actually terrible. The Cardinals are
- 32:08Speaker 5: going to do the same thing that they do every
- 32:10Speaker 5: single season. They're gonna show up and look like they're
- 32:12Speaker 5: competent against decent opponents, probably win some games that they shouldn't,
- 32:16Speaker 5: lose some games that they shouldn't. They're going to be
- 32:18Speaker 5: five hundred, maybe just above. But the Panthers play in
- 32:21Speaker 5: such a crappy division that I think that they have
- 32:23Speaker 5: the best, best, best chance to be a team that
- 32:27Speaker 5: comes back outside of Miami this week I am so
- 32:30Speaker 5: rocking with the Panthers.
- 32:31Speaker 2: All right. That is thoroughly disgusting.
- 32:33Speaker 1: They are six and a half point underdogs against the
- 32:35Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals, who they did look a little shaky.
- 32:39Speaker 2: They were.
- 32:40Speaker 1: They were a dropped ball in the end zone away
- 32:42Speaker 1: from losing that game to the New Orleans Saints. So
- 32:45Speaker 1: I think everybody took the under on their win total
- 32:48Speaker 1: going into the season.
- 32:49Speaker 2: Stuck. You give me your plant the flag game for
- 32:51Speaker 2: Week two.
- 32:53Speaker 3: I'm going give me. Let's go Texans. The Bucks actually
- 32:57Speaker 3: looked awful last week. They just I think only two
- 33:00Speaker 3: quarterbacks the NFL with the turnover worthy rate percentage of
- 33:03Speaker 3: over ten percent were Tuoa and Baker at four. The
- 33:06Speaker 3: Falcons has dropped all the picks. There was a couple
- 33:08Speaker 3: of four downs that went Tampa's way. Uh, you know,
- 33:10Speaker 3: if you look at Net's success rate, the Bucks are
- 33:13Speaker 3: one of the luckiest teams last week. They still have
- 33:16Speaker 3: offensive line issues. The defense still isn't great. The Texans
- 33:19Speaker 3: kind of in a bad spot, like they had an
- 33:21Speaker 3: off It's a lineman ruled out right before the game
- 33:23Speaker 3: with an abdomen and then they had to shift shit
- 33:25Speaker 3: a bunch of guys around and it was a disaster. Again.
- 33:27Speaker 3: We'll see they at least some time to get it
- 33:29Speaker 3: sorted out. We'll see who's healthy. But I think the
- 33:32Speaker 3: Texans at under a field goal at home take care
- 33:34Speaker 3: of business against the Bucks.
- 33:36Speaker 7: So what would you little maniacs like to do?
- 33:39Speaker 1: First?
- 33:40Speaker 2: What? Evan Abrams?
- 33:41Speaker 1: Who's who was stuck in the depths of zoom right now?
- 33:45Speaker 1: Evan Abrams For this week's primer, the primer, the main
- 33:49Speaker 1: event be what's your price?
- 33:52Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been what's your price?
- 33:54Speaker 7: Yeah, I will say this. I grew up and had
- 33:57Speaker 7: snails and hermit crabs and that was before I got
- 33:59Speaker 7: a real So I completely get it. Kendric, I understand.
- 34:02Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely didn't tell your price.
- 34:05Speaker 7: Your socks probably a bonus bet, I would say that.
- 34:08Speaker 7: But I'm a little higher, maybe like one hundred bucks
- 34:10Speaker 7: to start off. I mean, I got to see if
- 34:11Speaker 7: I have a market before I go in there and
- 34:13Speaker 7: start offering higher prices. That feels a little unfair to
- 34:16Speaker 7: the user and customer.
- 34:17Speaker 2: Hey, let's hear it.
- 34:19Speaker 1: What do we need to know for this week in
- 34:22Speaker 1: the NFL betting space. You've got your primer article which
- 34:26Speaker 1: is out in minutes over at Actionnetwork dot Com. But
- 34:29Speaker 1: this will be our way to wrap our first show
- 34:31Speaker 1: as a unit. So one of the trends that we
- 34:32Speaker 1: need to be aware of before we go firing away
- 34:34Speaker 1: on the apps.
- 34:35Speaker 7: The biggest topic of discussion. You guys talked Eagles and Chiefs,
- 34:40Speaker 7: but chiefs plus one right now at home sixty eight
- 34:42Speaker 7: career homes starts from a homes only closes a home
- 34:45Speaker 7: dog just once back in twenty twenty two against the bills.
- 34:48Speaker 7: I feel like that'll be a topic of conversation. I mean, listen,
- 34:51Speaker 7: he's only closed minus one and a half or shorter
- 34:54Speaker 7: of three times at home. All three have come versus
- 34:57Speaker 7: the bills, so this is a bit of a different
- 34:58Speaker 7: situation mahomes and I think the other storyline would be
- 35:02Speaker 7: from the market. So bet Labs, which is part of
- 35:06Speaker 7: Action Network, they have a new discord server. We track
- 35:10Speaker 7: public betting every week. So in week one, the public,
- 35:14Speaker 7: which is fifty one percent of tickets are higher, went
- 35:16Speaker 7: three and thirteen against the spread in the first week,
- 35:21Speaker 7: which would be the worst percentage in week one that
- 35:25Speaker 7: we have seen in our twenty two year database. So
- 35:28Speaker 7: I think there's a lot of storylines we saw favorites
- 35:30Speaker 7: go thirteen and three on the opening number straight up,
- 35:34Speaker 7: so I think Week one under twelve and four as well.
- 35:38Speaker 7: So there were some outliers, But in terms of storylines
- 35:41Speaker 7: and what we saw, I think that probably covers it
- 35:44Speaker 7: one more for you. What about the Lions losing in
- 35:47Speaker 7: that Week one? They've actually covered and won ten in
- 35:50Speaker 7: a row after a loss dating back to November twenty
- 35:53Speaker 7: twenty two, So people expecting a bounce back, we will see,
- 35:56Speaker 7: but got didn't look great in Week one.
- 35:58Speaker 2: Guys, Yea and Death.
- 36:00Speaker 3: That is one of the good matchups of just a
- 36:02Speaker 3: story from the storyline perspective. He got Ben Johnson and
- 36:06Speaker 3: going back and facing Detroit. Can Detroit bounce back? Chicago
- 36:09Speaker 3: lost two desperate teams, the coaching storylines, so that we'll
- 36:13Speaker 3: see if Chicago's secondary is healthy too. So there's a
- 36:15Speaker 3: lot to track there. Haven't you mentioned Chiefs Eagles? Do
- 36:20Speaker 3: you have anything on Super Bowl revenge?
- 36:23Speaker 7: So I believe this is the eleventh time that we
- 36:27Speaker 7: have had a Super Bowl rematch. I think the most
- 36:30Speaker 7: interesting thing you could probably glean super Bowl winners seven
- 36:33Speaker 7: and three straight up and against the spread in those
- 36:35Speaker 7: rematch games. This will be the fifth rematch in the
- 36:38Speaker 7: first six weeks of the following year, first since Bronco's
- 36:42Speaker 7: Panthers uh in twenty sixteen. Two of the three total
- 36:46Speaker 7: losses when it came to those Super Bowl winners play
- 36:49Speaker 7: in those first six week games. So in terms of revenge,
- 36:53Speaker 7: I think it probably works a little bit better early
- 36:55Speaker 7: in the year. And I know you had reached out
- 36:56Speaker 7: to me about this stuff, so I think there possibly
- 36:59Speaker 7: is an anger for some Chiefs revenge, especially early in
- 37:03Speaker 7: the season.
- 37:03Speaker 3: Yeah, and then week two is usually about buying low,
- 37:07Speaker 3: selling high from week one.
- 37:09Speaker 1: Well, the Dolphins, I mean, they were a popular topic
- 37:12Speaker 1: on today's show. They get absolutely blitzed in week one.
- 37:16Speaker 1: Is there anything for a team that is favored in
- 37:21Speaker 1: week two after losing by almost thirty points in Week one?
- 37:25Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I think that's a good angle I'm
- 37:27Speaker 7: probably gonna look at. But I think in terms of
- 37:30Speaker 7: the situation of week two, it's usually what Stuck said
- 37:34Speaker 7: is the bounce back. It's team who was favored in
- 37:38Speaker 7: week one should have won, like a New England. I
- 37:40Speaker 7: think is more of the interesting spot. Favored by two
- 37:44Speaker 7: or three points lose bad to the Raiders. Now in
- 37:47Speaker 7: a situation the next week. I think the numbers would
- 37:49Speaker 7: tell you New England in that one, but I'll look
- 37:51Speaker 7: it up. I'll have it in there for you, Brandon.
- 37:53Speaker 2: And that will do it. Thanks so much, Evan, we
- 37:55Speaker 2: appreciate it.
- 37:56Speaker 1: Evan Abrams will be on every Tuesday episode and throughout
- 37:59Speaker 1: the course of the week Tuesdays, Thursday, Sundays.
- 38:01Speaker 2: The schedule does not change.
- 38:03Speaker 3: I actually got one more topic, so how algorithms are
- 38:05Speaker 3: getting ridiculous, Like I'll tweet one thing about like Iowa football,
- 38:09Speaker 3: and then like my Twitter time, I'll be Iowa football
- 38:12Speaker 3: for like two hours. So Kendrall just said that she
- 38:15Speaker 3: got a notification that I was on Snapchat. But I
- 38:17Speaker 3: haven't been on Snapchat in like seven years. I forgot
- 38:20Speaker 3: I had an account. But I opened up TikTok last
- 38:23Speaker 3: night and we were texting all of us in a
- 38:26Speaker 3: group chat about the podcast, and I pull up TikTok
- 38:30Speaker 3: to take a break from working late last night, and
- 38:32Speaker 3: the first TikTok that came up was of Kendra on canes.
- 38:37Speaker 2: That's what this TikTok was the Chicken Place.
- 38:40Speaker 3: Shitting on canes, which, to one of the defenders, love,
- 38:43Speaker 3: I love.
- 38:44Speaker 5: This ass Zaxby's Zaxby's.
- 38:49Speaker 3: I've never had Zaxby's, by the way.
- 38:50Speaker 6: That's why you like Canes.
- 38:52Speaker 5: It's literally a wanna be Zaxby's that they just had
- 38:55Speaker 5: the money to franchise.
- 38:57Speaker 6: You got to go below the You guys have to
- 38:59Speaker 6: have Zaxby's where you live, right.
- 39:00Speaker 2: I don't definitely have Zaxby's everywhere where.
- 39:03Speaker 3: Do you like Zaxby's, Chick fil A, and Canes?
- 39:07Speaker 5: I would say zaxby is my number one because their
- 39:10Speaker 5: sauce is so so insane. I like Chick fil A
- 39:13Speaker 5: for the fact that it's everywhere, it's convenient, and they
- 39:16Speaker 5: have healthy options. But if I'm gonna eat some fucking
- 39:19Speaker 5: fried chicken, it's gonna be Zaxby's and I'm gonna drown
- 39:22Speaker 5: it in that sauce. They put like the seasoning on
- 39:24Speaker 5: their fries. They do the Texas toast.
- 39:26Speaker 2: Oh my god.
- 39:28Speaker 5: Yeah, Zach below the Mason Dixon, I would be fat.
- 39:31Speaker 6: I get it. I get it.
- 39:33Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 39:33Speaker 1: I used to live across the street from the Zaxby's.
- 39:36Speaker 1: Not good for the uh, for the blood pressure.
- 39:39Speaker 3: Canes just their sauce is just really good. I think
- 39:41Speaker 3: they're there. Their chickens. Their fries are I don't like
- 39:44Speaker 3: their fries. They don't season them. What you did say
- 39:46Speaker 3: in your.
- 39:46Speaker 5: Video Zaxby's does everything that canees is just better?
