- 0:01Speaker 1: When I woke up this morning, I was feeling pretty dangerous.
- 0:03Speaker 1: But we're on a Cincinnati. It's my quarterback. They are
- 0:08Speaker 1: who we thought they were. Wet. You play to win
- 0:13Speaker 1: the day. They want you to cook the dinner, pleas
- 0:15Speaker 1: they ought to let your shout for some of the grocery.
- 0:17Speaker 1: And on the way up, we're gonna buy a kneecap

- 0:45Speaker 1: Yesterday I chicken wings. Okay, forget about checkwings. I started
- 0:49Speaker 1: the day with donuts. I had never had Randy's Donuts.
- 0:52Speaker 1: If you're listening from outside of Los Angeles, I don't
- 0:55Speaker 1: even know if Randy's Donuts is a thing outside of LA,
- 0:57Speaker 1: but it is in LA and it is the pretty famous,
- 1:00Speaker 1: perhaps the donut the best door I've had in my life. Okay,
- 1:03Speaker 1: well flavored. I got a bunch and the donut holes,
- 1:07Speaker 1: which I thought were just like a rip off of timbots,
- 1:08Speaker 1: Like that's what I was expecting in my head. Timbots
- 1:10Speaker 1: are like a really small little munchkin who's ripping who off.
- 1:14Speaker 1: We're not sure we're not going to start a donut
- 1:16Speaker 1: feud on this podcast. Donut holes are pretty big all over.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Donut holes are like, yeah, pretty decent size. No, no,
- 1:22Speaker 1: I mean the concept of a donut that from anyone.
- 1:27Speaker 1: They just exist. Okay, you know, because the donut has
- 1:30Speaker 1: this and has a hole in the middle, and then
- 1:32Speaker 1: they're the hole out of the middle. On this podcast,
- 1:37Speaker 1: that's not how we're starting the first episode of week one. Okay,
- 1:40Speaker 1: that's not how we're doing this. Are we done? Has
- 1:43Speaker 1: everyone settled on the donut feud? I feel like you
- 1:45Speaker 1: just weren't listening. But I have a lot of donuts.
- 1:48Speaker 1: I had the sprinkle kind of the maple kind. I
- 1:51Speaker 1: was not feeling good to start the day. Then I
- 1:53Speaker 1: had chips and dip I was I was all in, listen,
- 1:55Speaker 1: I'm missing a gallbladder. I was just like, I'm going
- 1:57Speaker 1: to pretend that I have one today and it's actually
- 1:59Speaker 1: going to be able to break down food that I
- 2:01Speaker 1: put into my body. Then I had chicken wings and fries.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Loaded fries, by the way, those didn't make me feel good.
- 2:09Speaker 1: Then I had more chips. Then I had mango, but
- 2:11Speaker 1: like dried up mango covered in chilies. Um. And then
- 2:15Speaker 1: I had dinner which was salmon. Like this was me
- 2:17Speaker 1: trying to like bring myself back to life. What did
- 2:20Speaker 1: you guys have? How was your day? How was your
- 2:21Speaker 1: How was the first Sunday of the year Christmas? Basically? Well,
- 2:25Speaker 1: it was fun except for the Titans suck So that
- 2:28Speaker 1: was sad and an idea. Yeah, but they were at
- 2:31Speaker 1: least supposed to beat the Giants. No, not even a
- 2:35Speaker 1: touchdown from Derrick Henry, I know. But good for Sakwan.
- 2:38Speaker 1: That's the positive that comes out of that. Right day,
- 2:41Speaker 1: huge day for sake, Mohun. How is your Sunday? My
- 2:43Speaker 1: Sunday was not great. I was just traveling back from
- 2:46Speaker 1: a bachelor party and I was stuck in the Charlotte airport,
- 2:49Speaker 1: so I watched football on my iPhone, midie. I'm not
- 2:53Speaker 1: a big fan of airport food, so I didn't mean anything.
- 2:55Speaker 1: What do you mean You're not a big fan of
- 2:57Speaker 1: airport food. Airport food is basically like everything that you
- 2:59Speaker 1: could possibly a mountain at mc donalds. That was about it. Actually,
- 3:03Speaker 1: chart's in the Charlotte Airport Chile us to go. Yes,
- 3:07Speaker 1: they are all foods that I don't want to be
- 3:09Speaker 1: eating before a five hour flight. Oh yeah, that's a
- 3:11Speaker 1: tough go. Are you a window guy or an aisle guy? Um,
- 3:15Speaker 1: I'm I'm an aisle guy because I go to the
- 3:17Speaker 1: bathroom a lot's dam Yeah, guys were so excited for
- 3:23Speaker 1: my back. It was so much fun to just sit
- 3:26Speaker 1: there and watch the madness that is red zone. The
- 3:29Speaker 1: first window gave us two overtimes. A whole lot of
- 3:33Speaker 1: bad football too, the Bengals. This is what it's concerning me.
- 3:38Speaker 1: On this beautiful Monday, I got a text from my
- 3:40Speaker 1: brother and it's you have to understand my family did
- 3:42Speaker 1: not grow up watching football. We watched hockey. Okay. We're
- 3:45Speaker 1: from the boonies in Canada. Um, my brothers, they're artists.
- 3:49Speaker 1: They're creative people. Not the creative people can't be fan
- 3:51Speaker 1: of sports. But they're just not. They don't watch football. Okay.
- 3:53Speaker 1: I got a text from my brother this morning and says, so,
- 3:55Speaker 1: I just wanted you to know that I am going
- 3:57Speaker 1: to be a Bengals fan this year, and I was
- 3:59Speaker 1: just like, why would you choose that? He texted me
- 4:02Speaker 1: this on Monday morning, after what you just witnessed for
- 4:06Speaker 1: the first time, you were signing up for a football team.
- 4:08Speaker 1: It's gonna be the Bengals. After what you just watched.
- 4:10Speaker 1: You're one year late, your brothers one year late exactly.
- 4:13Speaker 1: And I was like, dude, I don't know if the
- 4:14Speaker 1: I don't know. I was like, why why not? Why now?
- 4:17Speaker 1: Why the Bengals? And he goes, well, I made up
- 4:20Speaker 1: my mind on Friday. And it's really just because I
- 4:22Speaker 1: like their name. I like to say, Cincinnati sounds good,
- 4:27Speaker 1: you know what. That's why He's gonna be each their
- 4:28Speaker 1: own and that's my family. Can you guys believe what
- 4:37Speaker 1: we saw? Though? As soon as I saw Joe Burrow
- 4:39Speaker 1: walk in, I don't know if you guys have his
- 4:40Speaker 1: outfit top of mind, but I do. It was like
- 4:43Speaker 1: a regular T shirt. He looked like a normal guy.
- 4:46Speaker 1: I was like, Joe Burrows not gonna play well today,
- 4:48Speaker 1: Bengals are gonna lose as soon as I saw his outfit,
- 4:51Speaker 1: because usually he's balling out. Usually he's got a crazy hat,
- 4:54Speaker 1: the drip, the ice the glasses. He was just like,
- 4:57Speaker 1: looked like mohun roll, Actually, Mohan, you look dressier than
- 5:01Speaker 1: Joe Burrow did on Sunday. That's the nicest thing. Well,
- 5:04Speaker 1: don't expect it's happening in I knew it was gonna happen.
- 5:08Speaker 1: It was a complete mess. But we've got a jam
- 5:11Speaker 1: packed show today. We've got so many games and so
- 5:13Speaker 1: many storylines to touch on. I opened my DMS, which
- 5:17Speaker 1: you know, everyone in my life said you gotta stop
- 5:19Speaker 1: doing it, but I keep on doing it because I
- 5:21Speaker 1: love to talk to people. And there's people that are
- 5:23Speaker 1: very sweet, and you also get some weird stiff too.
- 5:26Speaker 1: So I opened my DMS later to hear what you
- 5:28Speaker 1: guys are freaking out about, what you're panicking about, what
- 5:30Speaker 1: your secrets are, all those fun things. And then we're
- 5:32Speaker 1: gonna talk about the best and the worst things that
- 5:34Speaker 1: we saw this weekend. And there was a lot of
- 5:36Speaker 1: There was a lot of good and there was a
- 5:37Speaker 1: longer band maybe. And first things first, we've got one
- 5:41Speaker 1: of my best friends, Sarah Tiana. She is on the
- 5:44Speaker 1: brand new Amazon Prime show called The Pylon with Taren Killum.
- 5:48Speaker 1: It is going to be every single Wednesday to get
- 5:50Speaker 1: you ready for Thursday night football. We are so excited
- 5:52Speaker 1: to have her on the show. I'm going to ask
- 5:53Speaker 1: her if there's some things that we are overreacting about
- 5:56Speaker 1: in week one, because of course we are. Week one
- 5:58Speaker 1: is the week for overreacting, right, Absolutely, you justly say yes,
- 6:02Speaker 1: I have no doubt about it, no sure doubt about it,
- 6:05Speaker 1: without further ado, welcoming to the show. One of my
- 6:09Speaker 1: best buddies, comedian great friend Sarah Tianna. Hey, buddy, Sarah,
- 6:16Speaker 1: you texted me in this morning. You're like, oh, I
- 6:17Speaker 1: don't know if I'm ready to be on a podcast.
- 6:19Speaker 1: I'm like showing up to work and I was like,
- 6:21Speaker 1: let me go to my closet and make I feel
- 6:23Speaker 1: more comfortable. So I found this Bill Belichick sweater. I
- 6:27Speaker 1: got my flippy Floppy's on. This is a good look, right,
- 6:30Speaker 1: we're in this together. Yeah, you are like texted me like, hey,
- 6:33Speaker 1: do you want to be I'm like, well, I'm dressed
- 6:35Speaker 1: like a bumpkin, but sure probably like you look, I'm
- 6:39Speaker 1: now I'm even seeing that my Max Freed shirt just
- 6:42Speaker 1: clearly looks like I washed it with the raw snow soap.
- 6:46Speaker 1: I don't know, no, I didn't sleep in it, which
- 6:49Speaker 1: is something I know I've definitely I've done it too,
- 6:51Speaker 1: slept in stuff and then that's so comfortable. I'm wearing
- 6:54Speaker 1: it into work. I've slept in things and then showed
- 6:57Speaker 1: up probably for this podcast, still wearing wearing them. Listen,
- 7:02Speaker 1: when you when you present yourself in a certain way,
- 7:04Speaker 1: you just gotta be comfortable and then you don't have
- 7:06Speaker 1: to get crazy with your outfits or your makeup or anything,
- 7:08Speaker 1: and your life is easy. But this is the crux
- 7:11Speaker 1: of like podcast. Now, like people ask you to be
- 7:13Speaker 1: on a podcast, it's like, yeah, oh wait, is it
- 7:15Speaker 1: gonna be on the video? Why we gotta add video components? Okay,
- 7:20Speaker 1: so can we tell the people why you are here
- 7:22Speaker 1: in this building. You have a brand new show that
- 7:24Speaker 1: you are on, you're writing on. Can you tell me
- 7:26Speaker 1: a little bit about it. Yeah, it's called The NFL Pylon.
- 7:29Speaker 1: Taryn Killum as the host. It's basically it's on Prime
- 7:33Speaker 1: Video to prep everybody for the Thursday night football game
- 7:36Speaker 1: on Prime Video. And it's a half hour comedy show
- 7:39Speaker 1: where we have complete access to NFL films, and the
- 7:42Speaker 1: NFL films are kind and all the sweet miked up
- 7:48Speaker 1: footage that they have to offer us every week, and
- 7:50Speaker 1: then on top of it, like we'll also be adding
- 7:53Speaker 1: in lots of fun videos that we find just on
- 7:56Speaker 1: Twitter and Instagram and like just really dive into. I
- 7:59Speaker 1: can't the comedy of these athletes. This is great. I
- 8:02Speaker 1: can't wait. We have a group chat with our other friend,
- 8:04Speaker 1: Baking Gaily, and we're just constantly sending each other ridiculous
- 8:07Speaker 1: things back and forth. So I can't wait for you
- 8:08Speaker 1: to have access to all of these things and make
- 8:10Speaker 1: some more fun things out of it. Okay, so you
- 8:12Speaker 1: were on this show for the very first time. This
- 8:14Speaker 1: is week one. Okay, we were doing two episodes a week.
- 8:17Speaker 1: This is just full throttle now. So I want to
- 8:19Speaker 1: play a little game overreaction or maybe underreaction or rite reaction. Okay,
- 8:24Speaker 1: We're gonna go rapid fire through some of these topics.
- 8:27Speaker 1: They're all based off of the games that we saw
- 8:29Speaker 1: in week one. Are you ready for this? I'm ready.
- 8:31Speaker 1: The Chiefs are gonna be fine. Why were we saying
- 8:34Speaker 1: that they were Everyone was worried about this offense? Because no,
- 8:37Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill Patrick Mahomes threw it to just about every
- 8:40Speaker 1: single person on the field that he could have. Possibly,
- 8:42Speaker 1: I wouldn't have been surprised if you threw it to
- 8:43Speaker 1: somebody in the stands and they caught a touchdown as well.
- 8:46Speaker 1: They're gonna be fine. They're probably gonna end up in
- 8:48Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Patrick Mahomes, MVP. Overreaction, rounder reaction. I
- 8:52Speaker 1: think that's an overreaction because it's a very long season
- 8:55Speaker 1: and I think if there's anything the Chiefs have taught
- 8:57Speaker 1: us is that they are very good out of the gate,
- 8:59Speaker 1: and then I can be slowed down once people figure
- 9:01Speaker 1: out their schemes. So I think that's the only thing
- 9:04Speaker 1: to ever be cautious of when it comes to the Chiefs. Also, um,
- 9:08Speaker 1: you know Mahome's wife and you know they're pregnant again.
- 9:11Speaker 1: And I have this whole theory that whenever athletes are
- 9:17Speaker 1: about to have a baby, ya, they're just a little
- 9:20Speaker 1: bit more distracted. I mean, Tom Brady went through what
- 9:22Speaker 1: like a ten year slump when he was having kids.
- 9:26Speaker 1: It is that's like it was like I've seen it,
- 9:29Speaker 1: You're right, so it happens. And like so getting the
- 9:33Speaker 1: underhand passes while you can do the behind the backs,
- 9:36Speaker 1: make it all fancy, have fun, but Okay, overreaction. I
- 9:39Speaker 1: like that, Uh what about the Colts? Are they maybe
- 9:44Speaker 1: the same team that we just said they They picked
- 9:47Speaker 1: up exactly where they left off losing against the Jags,
- 9:50Speaker 1: missing out on playoffs. Now they've got your former quarterback
- 9:54Speaker 1: as a Falcons fan and battye Ice. Are they going
- 9:56Speaker 1: to be bad this year? I don't think they're going
- 9:58Speaker 1: to be bad. I think they just have to figure
- 10:00Speaker 1: it out. I think Week one is a really tough
- 10:02Speaker 1: time because this is the first time everyone's going full
- 10:05Speaker 1: speed exactly those Gay Day jitters. Yeah, yeah, full speed
- 10:08Speaker 1: for Matt Ryan is about as fast as you know,
- 10:11Speaker 1: a sloth. So like I think I think it's an
- 10:15Speaker 1: overreaction to say that they're the exact same team. Although
- 10:18Speaker 1: Carson Wentz looked a lot better than he did last year.
- 10:21Speaker 1: So when he was with the Cults, he didn't look
- 10:24Speaker 1: that good, but this year with the Commanders, he's looking better. So,
- 10:27Speaker 1: speaking of Carson Wentz, is gonna be good this year?
- 10:30Speaker 1: Three hundred and thirteen yards, four touchdowns, two interceptions? Are
- 10:35Speaker 1: the Commander is going to be like an actual team?
- 10:37Speaker 1: Like I feel like everyone's kind of in just like
- 10:39Speaker 1: you're doing your name change, You're doing with your quarterback change.
- 10:42Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on over there is should
- 10:44Speaker 1: we actually be paying attention to this day? I think so.
- 10:46Speaker 1: I think it's always. I think whenever a team is
- 10:49Speaker 1: um is not looked at, I think that's a great
- 10:52Speaker 1: place to be playing them because you have nothing to lose,
- 10:55Speaker 1: you have no expectations. You can only go up. It's
- 10:57Speaker 1: like my favorite thing about comedy. It's like whenever people
- 11:00Speaker 1: come to my shows and they're like, oh, we came
- 11:02Speaker 1: to see you, and I'm like, great, now you're gonna
- 11:05Speaker 1: expect me to go good? You know, if it's in
- 11:07Speaker 1: front of people that I've never met, I'm like, oh,
- 11:08Speaker 1: I'm gonna slay this because i have nothing to lose.
- 11:11Speaker 1: But you know, so, yeah, I do think the Commanders
- 11:14Speaker 1: are going to be good. Okay, this question is specifically
- 11:16Speaker 1: for you because, as I mentioned, you are a Falcons fan.
- 11:19Speaker 1: Is the Super Bowl hangover a real thing? Because we
- 11:24Speaker 1: saw the Bengals come out this weekend and they looked
- 11:27Speaker 1: prettinarly Joe Burrow specifically, you are a Falcons fan. Famously,
- 11:33Speaker 1: the super Bowl that we don't need to talk about,
- 11:35Speaker 1: we don't need to talk about, No, we can talk
- 11:36Speaker 1: about the season after that, you guys were We don't
- 11:39Speaker 1: need to talk about that either. But is the Super
- 11:41Speaker 1: Bowl hangover a real thing? No, it's real. It's very real.
- 11:44Speaker 1: And I think you know, you had maybe the longest
- 11:47Speaker 1: season of anybody else, So your team is just that
- 11:49Speaker 1: more tired because you played one extra game than everybody else.
- 11:53Speaker 1: The expectations are a lot higher, so the pressure is
- 11:56Speaker 1: on you, even though people you know, team's rarely ever Pete, So,
- 12:00Speaker 1: I think the Super Bowl hangover is real, and it's
- 12:03Speaker 1: definitely happening to both the Rams and the Bengals, oh,
- 12:06Speaker 1: both of them. The Green Bay Packers are bad. Is
- 12:12Speaker 1: that an overreaction or an underreaction? Davante Adams, who's famously
- 12:16Speaker 1: gone now outperformed the entire Packers wide receivers by a lot.
- 12:23Speaker 1: Are they gonna be bad? Yes, Okay, they're gonna be
- 12:25Speaker 1: very bad. Do you think it has anything to do
- 12:27Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers or do you think it's just like
- 12:30Speaker 1: he has absolutely nobody need to throw too? No, I
- 12:33Speaker 1: don't think it has anything to do with Aaron Rodgers,
- 12:35Speaker 1: although you know, I think he could be a little
- 12:37Speaker 1: bit more. I don't know how present he is different
- 12:41Speaker 1: islanding he's still there. Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
- 12:45Speaker 1: I don't know the internal workings of the packers, and
- 12:48Speaker 1: I don't think the packers know the internal workings of
- 12:51Speaker 1: the packers. So yeah, I don't expect them to be um.
- 12:55Speaker 1: I think there's a new king in the north. Shall
- 12:58Speaker 1: we say, Okay, a couple more and then we'll let
- 13:00Speaker 1: you go. We are gonna see Jimmy g before week four?
- 13:04Speaker 1: Is that an overreaction in Dallas? I don't know, just
- 13:07Speaker 1: playing for the forty nine ers. Aren't we going to
- 13:10Speaker 1: see him as Trey Lance gonna say audio? Or is
- 13:12Speaker 1: he gonna go to the count I don't think Trey
- 13:14Speaker 1: Lance is gonna say audios. But I think I think
- 13:18Speaker 1: the forty nine ers are so invested in this working,
- 13:22Speaker 1: this work, and I think that is absolutely a Kyle
- 13:25Speaker 1: Shanahan problem. Is like making things, you know, trying to
- 13:28Speaker 1: fit a square peg into a round hole constantly by
- 13:31Speaker 1: It's like saying though I'm right, I'm right, this is right,
- 13:34Speaker 1: and it's like you could also just be wrong and
- 13:36Speaker 1: like just go play the guy, play the hits. I
- 13:41Speaker 1: think there's anything wrong. I mean, I mean, I think
- 13:44Speaker 1: by Deebo wanting to be out of there. I think
- 13:46Speaker 1: that shows you exactly the problems internally with that team. Okay,
- 13:51Speaker 1: the last one, and we were texting about this yesterday,
- 13:53Speaker 1: is everything bad and doomed and the Browns are going
- 13:56Speaker 1: to be good this year and win over eight and
- 14:00Speaker 1: a half games. Overreaction, Yeah, that is a complete overaction.
- 14:07Speaker 1: I get it. But everyone I feel like, is going
- 14:09Speaker 1: to give them that extra oomph and they have, they
- 14:11Speaker 1: have this mentality backs against the wall. I'm going to
- 14:14Speaker 1: give you all of my umphs, you know what I mean.
- 14:16Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of really talented guys on
- 14:19Speaker 1: that It's hard because I mean I went to Georgia,
- 14:21Speaker 1: so like Nick Chubb is like my guy, you know
- 14:23Speaker 1: what I mean. When Girly got suspended, uh, you know,
- 14:28Speaker 1: everybody had shirts that said I'm a girly girl, and
- 14:30Speaker 1: then Chubb came in as the backup and everybody changed
- 14:32Speaker 1: it to I'm a chubby girl. And it was like
- 14:34Speaker 1: my favorite, one of my favorite seasons ever for the Bulldogs.
- 14:37Speaker 1: But like, I think there's so many great guys on
- 14:39Speaker 1: that team, but I think they are completely overshadowed by
- 14:42Speaker 1: the distractions off the field. And you know, I mean,
- 14:46Speaker 1: I think they would have played Bishops Bishop Sycamore just
- 14:48Speaker 1: as hard as they played Carolina. So did you have
- 14:51Speaker 1: a very easy schedule though? So I'm just saying, prepare
- 14:53Speaker 1: for things to be bad, folks. Okay, And one last
- 14:56Speaker 1: thing before you go, can we play? Can we bring
- 14:58Speaker 1: the tabloids in? It's time for benched Buzz. We're bringing
- 15:05Speaker 1: you all the hottest goss from the NFL world. Let's
- 15:09Speaker 1: go live to our feature correspondent Rachel Bonetta Gazelle tweeted
- 15:16Speaker 1: about Tom Oh no, she did, Is everything all good?
- 15:19Speaker 1: She said, go go Bucks, go Tom Brady last night
- 15:23Speaker 1: for the Sunday in football game. Are they gonna be okay? Overreaction?
- 15:29Speaker 1: I mean I think a lot of rack. Are we
- 15:31Speaker 1: just taking one tweet and being like, oh, thank god
- 15:33Speaker 1: it's over. Well, they're gonna be okay. I mean, I
- 15:36Speaker 1: think they've lasted this long with all of the ups
- 15:39Speaker 1: and downs and challenges that come with that. I think
- 15:41Speaker 1: it all depends on if he really does retire this year.
- 15:44Speaker 1: I think it's all hinging on that, and that's what
- 15:47Speaker 1: it's always been hinging on. And he can continues to
- 15:50Speaker 1: change his mind and cheat on her with the NFL.
- 15:53Speaker 1: Oh no, you heard it here first. Ian Rappaport saying,
- 15:57Speaker 1: prepare for this to be his last season. So maybe
- 15:59Speaker 1: it is, and they're going to have a tumultuous year
- 16:01Speaker 1: and they'll be smooching while he lifts the Lombardi. Weren't
- 16:05Speaker 1: we already preparing for this to be his last season? Yeah?
- 16:08Speaker 1: I don't know why they're but now it feels like
- 16:09Speaker 1: I guess a little bit more official Sarah Dan everybody
- 16:15Speaker 1: big thanks to Sarah for joining our show. Coming up
- 16:18Speaker 1: on bench with Vanetta, I do the unthinkable. I opened
- 16:23Speaker 1: my DMS. This is safe space. Tell me your deepest,
- 16:38Speaker 1: darkest secrets DMS now open. I rest this segment. I
- 16:44Speaker 1: really did. By the way, Mohan, why were you just
- 16:46Speaker 1: on a beach and now you are? Ian Repaport, No,
- 16:49Speaker 1: what's going on with that? Play hard? Work hard? You know?
- 16:53Speaker 1: I just really list is maybe one of my favorite
- 16:55Speaker 1: additions to the show this year is that Mohan's in
- 16:58Speaker 1: front of a green screen and a moment. Tell them
- 17:01Speaker 1: that at any moment, we can change it to whatever
- 17:04Speaker 1: we want. Craver, you're in charge of this. What kind
- 17:06Speaker 1: of things do we have access to this year? I
- 17:09Speaker 1: was voting that if Mohan ever says anything Mohan asked,
- 17:12Speaker 1: we can put them in jail, which is gonna be this,
- 17:15Speaker 1: which is just gonna be delight that I'm gonna have
- 17:17Speaker 1: a button go to jail. Literally whatever you're you can
- 17:20Speaker 1: imagine my desires. Put Mohan there, Mohan, where do you
- 17:23Speaker 1: not want to be? Because that's what we're gone. We
- 17:26Speaker 1: count besides Spider Man. Cool, that's like your dream. That
- 17:30Speaker 1: would be cool. It sounds really excited. Well, that's gonna
- 17:35Speaker 1: be something that we have a lot of one with
- 17:36Speaker 1: this season. I'm sure. Okay, let's open some of these dms.
- 17:39Speaker 1: I read as many as I possibly could. I love
- 17:44Speaker 1: opening the dms because people send a lot of things,
- 17:48Speaker 1: and I read a lot of really nice messages from
- 17:50Speaker 1: people who are listening to the pod, and also some
- 17:52Speaker 1: crazy ones. So without further ado, let's hear them. NFC
- 18:00Speaker 1: is one of those one day roller coasters built by
- 18:03Speaker 1: carnies at the local fairs. Yeah, just don't really know
- 18:06Speaker 1: what's going to happen each time you get all in
- 18:08Speaker 1: tune in. Do you go to fairs? Like? Would you even?
- 18:14Speaker 1: I used to go. I'm from a very small town.
- 18:16Speaker 1: The orno Fair was something that I used to go
- 18:17Speaker 1: to all the time, and I'd get on these rides
- 18:21Speaker 1: no shot. As a thirty year old, I am entering
- 18:23Speaker 1: the premises and getting on one of those rickety like
- 18:27Speaker 1: w D four. They're probably using w D forty to
- 18:29Speaker 1: get those things move in. There's some like high school
- 18:32Speaker 1: kid who doesn't care operating the machines, does not care.
- 18:35Speaker 1: You could possibly you could possibly die and that is
- 18:39Speaker 1: what you could possibly do while watching the NFC as whoa,
- 18:42Speaker 1: there were so many Are the Viking? Okay? I know
- 18:46Speaker 1: last week all these people were saying Kirk Cousins for MVP.
- 18:49Speaker 1: IRV said it on our Tuesday preview show on Game
- 18:52Speaker 1: Day Morning. I think Kyle Brant came out the very
- 18:54Speaker 1: next day on Good Morning Football said Kirk Cousins for MVP.
- 18:57Speaker 1: Are the Vikings a team that we need to like?
- 19:00Speaker 1: And Jefferson in front of the pod absolutely bald out
- 19:02Speaker 1: yesterday caught both touchdowns that Kirk Cuzzy through. This is
- 19:07Speaker 1: a this might be a thing that we have to
- 19:09Speaker 1: keep our eye on the Vikings being good this season.
- 19:11Speaker 1: And Rogers called him after the game the best player
- 19:13Speaker 1: in the game today. I know I saw that that
- 19:15Speaker 1: was so awesome. I think the Vikings are obviously this
- 19:18Speaker 1: win over Green Bay sets them up huge to just
- 19:21Speaker 1: control the NFC North for the whole season. But the
- 19:23Speaker 1: Bears one two unexpectedly, Oh what is the NFC? The
- 19:27Speaker 1: Giants one? Is this just like over week one overreaction?
- 19:32Speaker 1: I mean, the Rams, the Cardinals. There are so many
- 19:35Speaker 1: like who's who's gonna lead the NFC? Who are we
- 19:39Speaker 1: going to be? Who's gonna be left standing at the
- 19:41Speaker 1: end of this season? It's really really up in the air.
- 19:44Speaker 1: This is like everyone's saying, Oh, AFC is so much
- 19:47Speaker 1: fun to watch. Yes, of course, because there's so many
- 19:49Speaker 1: incredible quarterbacks and teams and offenses and defense. But the NFC,
- 19:53Speaker 1: I feel like, is the bigger question mark. And that's
- 19:54Speaker 1: the more that's the more chaos that I quite enjoy.
- 19:58Speaker 1: I think the biggest overreaction it's almost one yesterday. Yeah,
- 20:02Speaker 1: the biggest of reaction the NFC is definitely the forty
- 20:06Speaker 1: nine ers losing. So it's hard to listen guys. They
- 20:09Speaker 1: were in like literally pounds and pounds of rain. Yeah,
- 20:13Speaker 1: and and people are saying, oh, they should play Jimmy
- 20:15Speaker 1: g But you didn't do all of that to get
- 20:17Speaker 1: tray Lance to bench him after one or two, I say,
- 20:20Speaker 1: you give him five games. Who do they play next?
- 20:22Speaker 1: The forty nine Ers, and at least give him a
- 20:24Speaker 1: game that's not in a torrential downpour. I mean it
- 20:26Speaker 1: was like literally underwater. How can you even evaluate what
- 20:30Speaker 1: he is as a quarterback in that in those kinds?
- 20:32Speaker 1: They played a Seahawks in Week two, that's an easy win. Yeah,
- 20:35Speaker 1: and then the Broncos and then the Rams. You've made
- 20:38Speaker 1: an interesting couple of weeks for Tray Lance. Yeah, I'm
- 20:40Speaker 1: rooting for him. Okay, what's sext Justin Herbert might be
- 20:46Speaker 1: your daddy, but Khalil Mack is Derek Cars. This is
- 20:52Speaker 1: a good joke. Justin Herbert is my daddy. This this
- 20:55Speaker 1: no longer hurts me. Okay. I'm a Chargers fan. Check
- 20:59Speaker 1: in Week one, feeling great, feeling great about it, got
- 21:02Speaker 1: our first dub. I did think that the Raiders were
- 21:05Speaker 1: gonna win, but I'm not going to tell you if
- 21:07Speaker 1: that was a reverse Chinks or not. Well, when it
- 21:11Speaker 1: was twenty four nineteen and the Raiders had the ball
- 21:13Speaker 1: late in the fourth quarter, I was like, here we go.
- 21:15Speaker 1: Charger's about the Charger DeVante Adams is gonna make his
- 21:19Speaker 1: mark and go catch a game winning touchdown. And then
- 21:21Speaker 1: Khalil Mack said, I don't think think it's gonna be
- 21:25Speaker 1: really fun to watch him not on the Bears. Yeah,
- 21:27Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Motivated Khalil Mac. Okay, what's next?
- 21:33Speaker 1: Football in week one is the equivalent to putting on
- 21:36Speaker 1: the underwear inside out while half awake at four am.
- 21:39Speaker 1: But you don't realize until the afternoon. But at that
- 21:42Speaker 1: point you continue to ride it out. Anyway, sounds like
- 21:45Speaker 1: something I will say, Well, sometimes when I'm out of it,
- 21:51Speaker 1: oh boy, and I's and you're showering and you and
- 21:54Speaker 1: you put shampoo on your body and body washing your head,
- 21:57Speaker 1: jail right, and then you don't jail right, and then
- 21:59Speaker 1: you don't. You don't realize until the end of the shower.
- 22:02Speaker 1: I was like, oh no, I put body washing. Do
- 22:05Speaker 1: you realize at the end of the shower. What would
- 22:07Speaker 1: tell you that? Because when you have the shampoo and
- 22:10Speaker 1: if I actually put it on my body, I put
- 22:12Speaker 1: the shampoo back and I look at it, I'm like,
- 22:14Speaker 1: wait a minute, that's not body okay, but correct me
- 22:16Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. Ben men are psycho like you guys
- 22:19Speaker 1: would wash with conditioner, like you guys just don't. Well, no,
- 22:21Speaker 1: I have it. I think it's one thing to use
- 22:25Speaker 1: shampoo and then just like take it down as body wash. Also,
- 22:29Speaker 1: but putting body wash in your hair, that's probably I mean,
- 22:33Speaker 1: that's a little, that's too much, that's a lot. Well,
- 22:35Speaker 1: some some things have three and one, so you'd think
- 22:38Speaker 1: that which is psychotic, Like there's ladies in the could
- 22:42Speaker 1: you guys imagine using a three in one in the shower?
- 22:46Speaker 1: Everyone's like, no, it's just I don't buy three different
- 22:50Speaker 1: products for something that can come in one bottle? Washing
- 22:53Speaker 1: conditioner your hair, You don't. You just like shampoo. Condition
- 22:57Speaker 1: Good for you, thanks, good for your respect. You don't.
- 22:59Speaker 1: I don't want condition of those curly locks. Yeah, gotta
- 23:02Speaker 1: keep them curly. Getting weird. Close the DMS, Scott down
- 23:07Speaker 1: the wrong path. I don't want to know your showering habits, Milan,
- 23:10Speaker 1: and I already know too much. I already know too much.
- 23:13Speaker 1: D m's closed, thank you very much. We will open
- 23:15Speaker 1: those back every Sunday, so if you got a little
- 23:18Speaker 1: secret that you want us to talk about on the show. Also,
- 23:21Speaker 1: they're anonymous, so like, why not tell us weird stuff.
- 23:23Speaker 1: We had some weird stuff last year, and it was
- 23:25Speaker 1: very entertaining to listen to Time for a break coming
- 23:29Speaker 1: up around the corner. Best thing and the worst thing
- 23:32Speaker 1: that I saw this weekend? Down go anywhere He's based. Okay,
- 23:45Speaker 1: a couple of things here, starting off with the worst.
- 23:47Speaker 1: I like starting off with the worst and then ending
- 23:49Speaker 1: on a good note. One are the worst things that
- 23:52Speaker 1: I saw. I don't know if you guys caught this,
- 23:53Speaker 1: but there were a there were like two rows of
- 23:56Speaker 1: cars at the Miami Dolphins game that caught on fire year.
- 24:01Speaker 1: I guess somebody left, like what a barbecue running? Could
- 24:04Speaker 1: the propane explode? Could you imagine leaving a football game
- 24:08Speaker 1: that you want you can beat? Bill Milichick probably in
- 24:10Speaker 1: a pretty good mood. Ah, if you're a Dolphins fan
- 24:13Speaker 1: and you come out and your car is burnt to
- 24:15Speaker 1: the ground, I would have so many questions. You could see,
- 24:18Speaker 1: like the plume of smoke inside the stadium? Was that
- 24:21Speaker 1: not the craziest thing that we saw Sunday that it was?
- 24:23Speaker 1: I would totally trade my team winning for having a
- 24:26Speaker 1: car not beyond one, but you would think, yeah, one
- 24:29Speaker 1: thousand percent, everyone tailgating turn off your grill. I have
- 24:33Speaker 1: so many questions about this. Did you leave your grill
- 24:36Speaker 1: out when you went to the game. That's weird. Lots
- 24:40Speaker 1: of drinking going on, and put yourself away. Don't make
- 24:44Speaker 1: smart decisions. Oh, this just reminds you. Every time I
- 24:47Speaker 1: have to change like propane in like a barbecue or
- 24:50Speaker 1: a fireplace, constantly worried about it exploding, even though I don't.
- 24:53Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that's like almost impossible. Ah, It's pretty possible.
- 24:57Speaker 1: Don't tell me that. I'm like driving around with it
- 24:59Speaker 1: my car, are is. No, Just like when you're attaching
- 25:03Speaker 1: the hose to the tank, you gotta make sure that
- 25:05Speaker 1: that is an airtight seal or else you could be in. No.
- 25:08Speaker 1: I know, obviously I'm making sure it's closed and stuff
- 25:10Speaker 1: like that, but i mean, like I literally just try
- 25:12Speaker 1: to keep it like so level while I'm like carrying
- 25:15Speaker 1: it completely empty too. And I'm like, oh, everybody, back up,
- 25:19Speaker 1: stay away this thing good blow any minute. And I
- 25:22Speaker 1: realized that's probably a dumb thing to do, but maybe
- 25:24Speaker 1: not now. I don't know. To be safe, put away
- 25:27Speaker 1: your dang barbecues. People. This was absolute bedlam. The second
- 25:32Speaker 1: really bad thing that we saw. We haven't talked about
- 25:34Speaker 1: it in the show yet. Was just Dak getting hurt
- 25:36Speaker 1: and having to have surgery and now he's gonna be
- 25:39Speaker 1: out for multiple weeks. Not only did Cowboys fans have
- 25:43Speaker 1: to watch the game last night, they had to watch
- 25:45Speaker 1: Jason Garrett on the coverage. Did not know how to
- 25:50Speaker 1: stand on television. This was him just like Arthur fists
- 25:55Speaker 1: the entire time. It was just bizarre. And then you
- 25:59Speaker 1: lose in them that goes down. Gosh, I just feel
- 26:01Speaker 1: really bad for him. Yeah, Mike McCarthy said, the Cowboys
- 26:04Speaker 1: will make a move. Is Jimmy G gone to Dallas? Who? Well,
- 26:09Speaker 1: that's what Sarah was haying earlier on the show. Yeah,
- 26:11Speaker 1: I don't know. I kind of love that. What else
- 26:16Speaker 1: did they do? They kind of they gotta do something.
- 26:18Speaker 1: They got twenty million in cap space or something close
- 26:20Speaker 1: to that, so they could happen. When will that happen
- 26:23Speaker 1: this week? Hopefully not before this show's trupefully not if
- 26:27Speaker 1: this has happened, ignored, Just fast forward. Well, for all
- 26:30Speaker 1: those people that are saying Trey Lance isn't good, would
- 26:32Speaker 1: they have to play Jimmy G? Why would the Niners
- 26:34Speaker 1: give away? Yeah? That's a job. That's a tough after
- 26:36Speaker 1: like the first week of Trey Lance being like all
- 26:38Speaker 1: we heard in this off season was like forgot about
- 26:41Speaker 1: what you saw last year in Trey Lance, Like yeah,
- 26:43Speaker 1: in the off season, you know, George Kittle was like
- 26:45Speaker 1: just wait till you see this guy. And then first
- 26:47Speaker 1: week albeit it was raining, all of these other elements
- 26:50Speaker 1: can't coming into play his first week Week one, jitters
- 26:53Speaker 1: all all of that stuff. I don't know. I'd be like,
- 26:55Speaker 1: I kind of want to keep Jimmy G around and
- 26:57Speaker 1: see how this shakes out a little. I don't know,
- 27:00Speaker 1: because they didn't never, like the plan was never to
- 27:02Speaker 1: keep Jimmy G around. Are they going to panic after
- 27:05Speaker 1: one game? I guess not. Anyways, Dak, we're sorry. That's
- 27:09Speaker 1: a bummer. Yeah, Cowboys fans, we're sorry. Do we feel
- 27:12Speaker 1: bad for Cowboys fan? Yeah? Okay, okay, let's talk about
- 27:16Speaker 1: the best thing. Uh. First things first, as soon as
- 27:19Speaker 1: Mohan sat down in this chair, I hadn't talked to him. Well, no,
- 27:22Speaker 1: I texted you after the Browns one. Um, but that's
- 27:27Speaker 1: seventy five yard pass from Baker Mayfield. What a dime.
- 27:31Speaker 1: We're not going to talk about all the other ones,
- 27:33Speaker 1: and he had a nice rushing touchdown up the middle.
- 27:35Speaker 1: Saw that he's got saw that a baby still got it. Well,
- 27:39Speaker 1: what I really want to hear is the postgame presser.
- 27:41Speaker 1: I think he had some things to say about our guy,
- 27:43Speaker 1: Nicholas Drub give me a big hug. He felt good. Um.
- 27:49Speaker 1: I would have liked to have been on the other
- 27:50Speaker 1: side of that hug, but it's good to see some
- 27:53Speaker 1: of your best friends. We knew that they were still beasties. Listen,
- 27:57Speaker 1: I don't want to get it twisted. We I'm no
- 27:59Speaker 1: longer fan of the Browns, but there are still guys
- 28:02Speaker 1: on that team that I really like, including Nick Chubb
- 28:05Speaker 1: and making me really sad. I think we both got
- 28:07Speaker 1: Nick Chub like posted something like I'm Batman because he
- 28:10Speaker 1: loves Batman video before and Mo and I said it
- 28:12Speaker 1: to each other and we were like, it sucks, yeah,
- 28:14Speaker 1: don't share for this. Also, we can't show it too.
- 28:18Speaker 1: I don't know what is going on in this video.
- 28:19Speaker 1: Brian Table just dancing in the Giants dressing room like
- 28:22Speaker 1: an absolute maniac is one of my favorite videos from
