  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorite to You just told me to drive, dude,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I said I could do this part. I need you
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: like in front of the script. You just told me
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: to drive. I said I could do this part. Did
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: anyone else think that I was supposed to do that? Yes? Listen,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: all right, listen, alright, let's just Favorites Podcast. It's the
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Favorites Podcast, Super Contest work. I'm Chad Melman. It's the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Super Contest edition. It's Friday. As you can see, Blackhawk
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: and I still have not gotten on the same page. Well,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: we're not on the same page because I'm sitting here
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: in New York where I've been sitting for the last
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: hour and a half, and you are up on the
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: hill in Granwich, Connecticut, um and having technical difficulties. So
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: we have been sweating this out. You are currently sharing
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: an office with your beautiful wife. If I'm not mistaken,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I am looking at the back of her head as
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: she furiously types uh an email uh and works on
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: auto cat. You know, she's an architect and she's very busy,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: and we've had some technical difficulties with our connection this morning,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and then I had to move into her office from
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: my office. You know, we have many offices in my mansion,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: and um, when I did that, uh, we had to
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: be further delayed because she's got a call and like
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: she's working, she's got real stuff. To just let her
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: know the extension she's working on. I think would be
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: better if it's nine feet across instead of eight. I
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: heard her mentioning eight feet feet gives you a little
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: bit more room, Stacy. Uh, Stacy black Jack Fletcher says, uh,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: he thinks the extension should be nine feet instead of
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: eight feet. Thank you so much. That's very helpful, No problem, Stacy.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Thank you for dropping in. Also, you could do better.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: She can't hear you. Well, lucky for you, my man.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: She just threw something across the room. Anger all right,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: So Chad, it's a super contest edition of the Favorites. Um,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: we want to remind everyone to keep reviewing our show
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: on iTunes. Georgina is going to read her favorite reviews
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: as she always does. Georgina, with her lovely, lovely voice,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: We'll read these reviews. Um, Okay, we have one this week.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: This is this is what happens when I'm not there
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and I can't access my computer and things are falling
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: apart is well, you don't, alright, Chad. You know what,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna go there. I was gonna be nice
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to you, but you Why aren't you here, Chad? Why
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: aren't you in New York? Uh, that's a legitimate question. Yeah,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: it is, because you landed at five pm yesterday in
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: New York and went to Connecticut. I'll tell you why.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Here's exactly why. Because um, I couldn't stay in the
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: city tonight and I'm coming in tomorrow. And the problem
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: with my schedule during the NFL season can't come to
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: work two days in a row is that on Thursdays
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and Fridays, I have all these radio shoes shows that
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I do around the country talking about NFL games, and
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Thursday afternoon, they start at like three thirty and they
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: go until eight. And if I don't then I'm not
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: getting out of the office till like eight thirty or nine,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: which I'm not getting back to my place in connecticut'till midnight.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: And I do have to come into the city tomorrow.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: And I didn't want to stay over tonight because I
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: thought it might be nice to spend at least one
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: night at home with my kids. And originally when I
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: was getting back from San Francisco. I wasn't getting back
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: until eleven at night, but I was able to change
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: my flight. On Tuesday, I took a five am flight.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: You asked, You asked, YEP, I asked, and you told me.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: All right, Georgina, please read our iTunes review of the week,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: given to us by iTunes user cart Right ninety nine,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and if I may say so, it is a gemuck.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Hate this review. Go ahead, George, thank you. iTunes review
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: subject Friday Pod by Cartwright. With all gie respect to
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Bob Scucci, the Friday Pod is the crown jewel of
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the Favorites. At first listen, it's hard to get past
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the unfunny, brash, nodle bully trying to impose his picks
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: for submission on the super Contest. He should have never
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: left his real job for this, but then swooping in
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: to carry the show and restore a sense of nomalcy.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Is Mr black Jack Fletcher five stars? That is a lie.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: There's nothing about me that's a bully. You are absolutely
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: a bully. Last week you told both me and Paul
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: la Duca to go funk ourselves. Okay, thank you, you're
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the boss, of this company. This is harassed. We could
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: all suit you at this point. It's gonna be a
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: class action based on what you put out on the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: air waves. Stacy is covering her ears, as she should,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: because I don't know if she realizes the monster in
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: her bed. Oh, my friend, she realizes it. Oh was
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: that a million monster? So if you too split up,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: does that mean essentially that I end up getting the podcast?
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: It already is your podcast. No, it's it's mine. Someone's
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: got to keep the lights on, all right, Georgina, give
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: us the first game, Baby, Baltimore and Kansas City Chiefs
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: by six and a half. Chad, this is a tricky one.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: It sure is. I'll tell you, Chad, when I did
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: when I filled in for you on Monday on your
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: other podcasts. You couldn't make it too when you went
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: to only hockey games. I did not choose only hockey games.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I chose to hockey games because I, unlike you, am
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: a versatile gambler. Um. This game came up, but this
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: line was different on Monday. This line was at seven
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: on Monday, and at seven I liked Baltimore. I went
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: along with Paul Laduka taking Baltimore because I think Lamar
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Jackson can shred this Kansas City defense on the ground.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: He may go for two hundred yards on the ground
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: against this case defense. They're they're awful against the run.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: But six and a half at home makes me nervous. Yeah,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. I don't think this is a
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: gaming play. I think it's too complicated. I think it's
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I think the number is actually exactly right. The wise
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: guys this week, they've been coming in on Baltimore. They
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: like Baltimore's defense, they like what Lamar Jackson has been doing.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: For all the reasons you just said, I think this
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: is a game. I think this is a game we
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: put in our back pocket. Agreed, I like it. Georgina
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Indian Atlas at Houston Texans by five. We've had convoluted
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: relationships with both of these teams. Um, what do you
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: think here? For some reason? You like the Cults, don't you.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I was actually gonna say Houston really see, I could
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: be swayed on this game either way, because I this
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: is a game that is an absolute must win for
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the Colts. They had a dreadful effort against the Jaguars
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: last week, losing six to nothing to a team who
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: gained two hundred and eleven yards of total offense. I
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: don't know how that happens when Andrew Luck had thrown
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: for three touchdowns for like six games in a row
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: and now, but also on the other side, Houston, I mean,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: is it time that we just kind of look ourselves
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: in the mirror and realized that the Texans are actually
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: like a really good team, well one of us, but
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Houston win the Super Are They're not winning the Super Bowl? Chad?
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: But like they maybe I'm just saying a very good team.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, is it. I'm just saying, like, all right,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: but here's what team. Here's what happened with the Texas.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: They start ohing three, they lose to the New York Giants,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: who are awful, and everyone's down on Houston. And since
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: then they've won nine in a row and we've kind
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: of been waiting for the for the drop off and
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: it just hasn't happened. So are you comfortable laying five
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: at home to a desperate Colts team? Well, the reason
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not is because, look, I think last week was
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: in admiration for the Colts and it was a bad spot.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: You had desperate Jaguar's team. Where, um, you forced me,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: bullied me. The bully on this show bullied you. You're
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: a fifty three year old man. You can't be bullied.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Be bullied me into choosing the Colts at four. Maybe
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: be tougher, stand up for yourself. Made me feel bad
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: about myself. Oh, I'm so sorry, honey, shattered my confidence.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: So we chose the Colts minus four, even though they
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: were in a bad spot, even though everybody knew the
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Jacks on the right side and next everybody knew it.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: I picked the Jackson my pick them, I forgot I
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: had picked him in my piskin pick them. Yeah, well
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: you didn't bet them. No, I bet the Colts, because yeah,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: you bet the Colts. You and Pat McAfee were So
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: can we just can we have a sidebar for one second?
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Because I found this to be incredibly humorous over the weekend.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Anyone who listens to this show, any of our millions
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: and millions of listeners, knows that you and I view
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: gambling through completely different lenses? Is that fair to say?
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Fair to say both of us last weekend went oh
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: for Sunday Sunday? How that happens? I have no idea. Okay,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the two of us, with our wildly different perspectives on gambling,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: did not win a game on Sunday. However, since then,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I'd like to point out I have been twelve and
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: two with a three team parlay hit as well, so
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I have bounced back with the fury and fire of
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: a thousand sons because I don't just gamble in the NFL.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Let's put this one in our back pocket too. Fair enough, Georgie,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: what do we got next? Carolina and Cleveland? Give it
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: to me, baby, Come on, come on, I know we're
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: gonna agree on this one. Give it to me. Yeah,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: me too, you do, I don't. I'm gonna go one
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: step further. Chad, I don't think Ron Rivera makes it
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: back from Cleveland. Well, now you're just being an idiot.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: The Panthers are done done. I was big on this
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: team a month ago. Since then, they have come out
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: in four consecutive weeks and laid four eggs, one bigger
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: than the next. This team is done zo. They're not
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: making the playoffs. They're finished. Matt Ford, our producer who's
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: got like literally three Carolina Panthers futures bets at all
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: different numbers is probably gonna cash one, maybe one, maybe
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: none of them. The Panthers stink and the Browns at home,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: they're a different team. They're a different team in Cleveland.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I like the Browns here catching the two and a half.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: If you want to get frisky on your own, take
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: them on the money line. But I think Cleveland wins
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: this game. Yeah. Look, I've never been into the Panthers.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I've actually always thought they were frauds. As I've said,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: you did you did? I give you credit for that.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: They've had dramatic wins, but you did impressive wins. And
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I just see the Browns is like they got a
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: good defense, a quarterback who has been playing well at home,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: but he's also a wild card, and like he'd meet
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: this game close at home. So I like, I like
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: the Browns here. Yeah, I'm with you. Let's take the
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Browns pick one. Put it on the board. Atlanta at
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Green Bay by five and a half. Chad, I'm sitting
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: here drinking vodka and orange juice because is it's the
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: morning and that's an acceptable drink. Um. It made me
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: throw my vodka no j up in my mouth. This game.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I hate it, hate it, hate everything about it. Hate
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: the Packers, hate the Falcons, hate the number, everyone talking
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: about it. Dry the show. We have air time to fill.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Chad on New Orleans at Tampa Bay Saints by eight.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, I like the Bucks here, but no, no, no,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: no no no no no no no no no no,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: no no no. If we are going to take a
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: side in this game, it's the Saints, and I don't
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: really like the Saints in this game, so let's pass it.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying we have to take a side. I'm
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: telling you what I'm gonna do. You know, the Bucks
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: are not the right side. If you're betting the Bucks,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: you're gonna lose. Well, listen, you already owe me a
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars on the Raiders plus twenty three. Here's what
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I'd like to do with that. I would actually like
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: to I think we should do something with that. I
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: think that we should continue this for the next what
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: do we have two weeks um, and whatever money is
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: owed we should take and put towards our Christmas party.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I'm down with that, okay, So do you are you
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: going to bet the Bucks in this game? I am
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: going to bet the Bucks, all right, So I will
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: take the Saints for another hundred dollars as a side bet,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: and we will continue that. If you're up for it,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: maybe I want the Saints plus ten. If I'm playing you,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: M'm not gonna give you a nine and a half.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Take nine and a half, alright, Saints nine and a
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: half hundred dollars? You and I can't fucking wait. Go.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Jameis Winston said, no one ever except for a Zuber
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: cab driver that was pretty good Neil Jet at Buffalo three.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: This line feels right to me? What do you think? Yeah?
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: It does. I don't like it. There's no edge here.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Gun to my head, i'd take the Bills, but I
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: it feels right on the money, it's funny. Gun to
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: my head, I would probably take the Jets. I feel
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: like Josh McCown is that first game against I think
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: they played the Bills that first game against the Bills, right,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: was not Josh McCown. That was a guy who was
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: coming off the bench ten games into the year. Josh
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: McCown like he can move the offense. He generally doesn't
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: make bad plays. The problem with the Jets with Josh
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: McCown is he's just not talented enough and they don't
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: have enough talent around him to play a whole game,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: but they usually are competitive for three quarters of the game.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question because I'm genuinely curious
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: about this. I'm a Bills fan, and coming into this season,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I was very, very down on Josh Allen. Like, I
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: thought that was a monumental waste of a pick to
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: trade up twice to take him with Josh Rosen still
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: on the board. What do you think about Josh Allen
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: at this point in the year, because I'm I'm kind
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: of tempted to buy in he's so bad he's good,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: But is that what it is? I mean, like he
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: reminds me of Tim Tebow, you know, like you don't
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: think a couple of years ago, Tim Tebow, nobody could
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: defend him because he'd make the right pass down the
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: middle of the field. He wasn't very accurate, but he
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: would run and so it was really really hard for
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: defenses to contain him because they're thinking they're containing a
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: pocket quarterback. And then all of a sudden, it's third
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: and fifteen and he runs for sixteen yards and he
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: helicopters for the last three of those yards. So like
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: They're playing a guy who's big, who's fast, who has
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: zero regard for his body and can make the one
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: throw down the middle of the field when he needs
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: to be accurate. But it's the easiest throw in the
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: NFL to make, and so I think that's why people
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: are starting to buy into him. I think at the
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: end of the day, the league catches up to him
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: and he's not a very good quarterback and he's got
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: to get more accurate. But right now it's hard to
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: not be excited by him. I like that comparison a lot.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: That makes me want to buy it. Josh Allen Jersey,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: what have you got next? Georgie Neilk Giants at Washington
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Giants by three and a half. Yikes, Giants. If not
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: for the Giants, I'd be all in on this game.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. I agree. I I was very
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: hesitant until I remembered it's Mark Sanchez and I just listen, man,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: We've seen enough of Mark Sanchez to know what he is.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, save that ninety yard touchdown run by Adrian Peterson,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: that game is a disaster when he enters it. He
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: is a mess of a quarterback. That team has offensive
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: line issues. They don't have a ton of talent at
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: skill positions. A Drean Peterson had a ninety yard touchdown
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: run and still didn't run for a hundred yards. Think
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: about that. How impossible is that to do? And he
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: did it? So the Giants listen, man. Since they're bye
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: week the three and one, they've been scoring points. I
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: was very impressed with the Bears win because I thought
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: when that game went to overtime that team was cooked.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, that was a monumental collapse to get into
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: overtime when you're up ten with a minute fifty eight
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: to go, and still they rallied to win the game.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I I think this is a win for the Giants,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: and I don't really mind laying the three and a half. Okay,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: oh we got number two. I don't love it. I
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: don't love it either, but but but I just can't
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: get past the fact that it's Mark Sanchez. It's he's
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: he's like Nathan Peterman bad at this point, Like he
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: can't throw the ball, he is awful. I just always
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: worry about betting against the quarterback in their second week. Agreed, Agreed,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: but stupid. But the thing is, Chad, they don't have
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: anything else. I mean, if their offensive line was totally healthy,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: i'd probably agree with you. But they're running game is trash.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: They don't have really anything that they do particularly well
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball. I mean, if
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: the Redskins are gonna hang in this game, they need
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: defensive touchdowns and I just don't I just don't see it. Okay,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Stacy is typing furiously. By the way, she sounds angry
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: at that keyboard, She's not. Stacy doesn't get angry. She's
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: married to you, buddy right now. That's why she's happy. Georgie.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: What's next? Oh boy? Cincinnati at Los Angeles Charges by
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: four teen. Stacy. I know is your office, but if
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: you could uh type a little more gently, we really
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: appreciate it. She said, no problems. She is going to
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: kick the ship out of you when this is over.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I still love you, seriously, Stacy, it's too loud. She's
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: gonna kill you. Bengals Chargers, Chargers by fourteen. What do
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: you think I want to bet the Chargers hold on?
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Hold on? Mr Cincinnati Bengals. The guy who last week
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: gave me ship for wanting the Broncos at minus four
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: and a half wants to lay fourteen with the charger.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's one of our picks. Another dog
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: has to go outside. She's singing her bell. Wait, what's
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the dog's name? Mac? It's a girl. It's a girl.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Is Max short for something Mackenzie? Here's what happened. That's
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: also Stucky's girlfriend's name. Shout out Stucky. I was I'm
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: writing a movie about hashtag I Love you. They met
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: on Twitter. I um wanted to get a big, big
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: dog from the pound for like two hundred bucks. We're
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: gonna name it Buddy, and it was the original names
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Mac and Buddy, you know. And uh, then it turns
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: out like my fifteen year old, who at the time
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: was eleven, was allergic to dogs, and so we had
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: to get one of those designer dogs that had a
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: poodle in it, which means you gotta spend like, wait,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: what's the snoodle? There is no dog more fitting for
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: the Millman household than a schnoodle. So then we got
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: to get this snoodle, which is like twenty pounds and
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: cost a fortune. And then my then seven year old
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: his favorite movie is teen Beach Movie Too, and it
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: was at the time, and he wants to name the
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: dog and his favorite character in the movie is um.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Mackenzie was a girl in the movie. The lead actress
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: was she attractive? I don't know and um. Then uh
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: so instead of me getting like a three hundred pound
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: dog for three hundred dollars named Buddy, I get a
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: twenty pound dog that's a snoodle named mac Sure for
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: mackenzie movie teen Beach Movie to Mackenzie was played by
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Maya Mitchell, who I don't know who she is. She's
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Australian and she is quite attractive, so you're correct there. Also,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: I used to have a two hundred pound dog and
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: English mastiff. His name is Marley. Um. It was a
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: beautiful animal. I named him that after Christopher Marlow, my
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: favorite English writer. Look at you bring in some class
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: and style Faustus one of my favorite works. Wow, Yes,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: I am learned, Jed, you have a depth. Well, Chad,
• 22:15

• 22:21
  Speaker 1: j D. That's right, you are a lawyer. It's hard
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: to remember that when you're shirtless and drinking. Well, I
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: am shirtless because I have to Alpha Darren Ravel on
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: his first day, So revels in the office today, first day.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I have to teach him. Listen, when it's thirty eight
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: degrees out in New York City and a guy walks
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: in and a gold lamb mad jacket and no shirt,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: it clearly tells you who keeps the lights on in
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: this place. So I just need him to be Alfred.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: It was you. It was you until you hired Revel.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: If I were you, I'd be feeling a little threatened.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, brother, I'm not threatened by
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: a clone of you. Darren Ravel can get on there
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: and tweet and be the most hated man on Twitter
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: if he wants to be. But at the end of
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: the day, baby, there's only one of us going out
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: there making original content, making beautiful things for this for
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: this network like I do. Nobody can do what I do. Nobody.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: All right, go to the next game. Wait wait, wait, wait, wait,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: we're not gonna bet We're not gonna play this game.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying that kind of wait hold on, because
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I kind of like the Chargers, did we go for it?
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's l A, it's in l A. It's
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Jeff driscoll Um. The Chargers off big win against Pittsburgh.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: I kind of like, l A, let's just put a
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: pin in this. Let's say maybe let's say I think
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: this is our number one maybe? Okay, Next Detroit at
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Arizona Lions by two and a half. Cardinals all day long. Yeah,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: I think you're right here, short home dog, right, we
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: like our home dogs. Back to the basics. I'm talking
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: about day and the Cardinals at home. Listen, let me
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: tell you somebody, the Arizona Cardinals. People don't pay attention
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: to this team because they're kind of nondescript. But you
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: know this as well as I do. Steve Wilkes first
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: year head coach there, maybe he needs some work on
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: his exits and ohs right, but the reports out of
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Arizona that his players love him, they play hard for him.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Josh Rosen he's developing as a quarterback. And David Johnson,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: after missing a full year, is getting back into the
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: full swing of things. I like the Cardinals at home
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: in this game. I like them outright, but you're gonna
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: give me two and a half all day long, Arizona.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Boom Shaka laka with you a hundred percent can we
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: review for a second, because Ken, Buddy, I want to
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: make sure we have as many bad teams that we're
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: betting as possible. What we have right now. We have
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals plus two and a half. We have
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: the New York Giants minus three and a half. We
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: have the Cleveland Browns plus two and a half. I
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: just want to make sure we're continuing our streak. Browns, Giants, Cardinals,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the cream of the crop. That's how you make one
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: point four million dollars disappear. Let's do it, Georgie. Next
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: game Detroit at Arizona Lions, breaks and a half. I
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: leaned Denver, but I will love it. I mean, if
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: we're going with our principles and our philosophy, we go
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: with the team that is getting the four points at home. Listen,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: I don't want to do it. I'm just saying I
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: can't do it because I think Denver is going to
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: be a team that may wind up in the a
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: f C playoffs. I think they're they're gonna get hot.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: All I know is a month ago, you were like
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Nicky Mullins, whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: pump the Brakes brother. What I said was if Nick
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Mullins continued what he did in his first game for
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: the rest of the season, he would have a longer
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: resume than Jimmy Garoppolo. That's what I said, all right,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: And maybe there's a quarterback controversy there. I don't know.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: C J. Bethard played pretty well when he was there.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Beat Hard Bethard, however you want to say it. He
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: played pretty well when he was there. Jimmy Garoppolo, what's
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: he done? Handful of games against teams that didn't care.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what's going on internally
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: in San Francisco, but what I do know is that
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: that team looks like trash right now, and the Broncos
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: may wind up in the a f C playoffs. Having
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: said that, I don't love this game, that's like saying,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: if you, black Jack Fletcher, continue to add Twitter followers
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: at a prodigious pace and became influential media personalities, you
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: could be as big as darn Revolt. But right now,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: you know Jackets have to draw runk and a half drunk.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: I'm full drunk now, okay, because I waited for you
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: for an hour and a half on the phone while
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: you couldn't figure out your technology. You want to bring
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Darren Ravelle into this. Let me tell you something. I
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: got no beef with Darren ravel But when his name
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: is on your lips and you're compared him to me, brother,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: I got a problem. Darren Ravelly to learn the bucking
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: order around this place. This is an ESPN anymore, baby,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: This is the Action network, and the person who brings
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: the action to this network he's black Jack Fletcher, and
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Darren ravel can suck it if he disagrees with that.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to meeting you later today, Darren. I
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: thought that was pretty good. I did you. That was
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: one of my best promos that that was a good spot. Wow,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: you nailed that. Thank you. I appreciate that. I really
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: like I like what I'm doing here. I like that
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: I'm creating a little bit of tension, a little bit
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: of rival where you can bring it to the people.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: What we need, Chad, we need heat, We need heat. Yeah, alright,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: so we're gonna pass this game, right. Matt just came
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: back in. Stacy just got Max. She's back in. Okay,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: we're gonna pass right, Okay, next New England at Miami.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Patriots by seven, New England by a thousand, New England
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: by a thousand. Chad, don't think about it. Just say yes,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Say yes, Say yes, Chad. No, please please please let
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: me talk. Let me talk, Chad. We're getting the best
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: of the number. We're getting the best of the number.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: It opened at nine, it's at eight at most books. Chad.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: They are the best team. They're the only constant in
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: the NFL. Every time we bet teams they don't cover.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: This team is the only team that covers. Please, please
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: don't screw this up. Take the Patriots at seven and
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: a half. Are gonna kill the Dolphins. They need this game.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: The Texans are on their heels for the two seed.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: They're chasing the Chiefs to the one seed. They have
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: to have this game. The public is hammering Miami because
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: they think for some reason, New England can't win there.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: We can be on New England and on the sharp
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: side at the same time. Don't ruin this. I'm pouring
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: a drink right now. What would Darren Ravelle do. Darren
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Ravelle would talk about what cleats they're wearing on Sunday?
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: All right, hold on, Max, very angry Max s he's
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: an animal. There's like in her little Patrick grass out there. Chad,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: give me the Pats. Go for something. I'll tell you what.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: You give me the Pats. I'll let you pick the
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: fifth game. All right, let's do it. Bats are the Boys.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Here's what I want more than that. We'll take the Pats.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: We'll take the Pats. Good, Okay? Past Georgie. Philadelphia at
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys by three and a half. What do you oh?
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: I hate this game? Yeah, me too, trash. I don't
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: know where this is going. I mean this game, this
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: game has massive implications to the NFC East, but I
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: have no idea where it's going. I can't see anything
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: in this game. I am flummixed and clouded and confused.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Totally agree, totally agree. Pass Pittsburgh at Oakland, Pittsburgh by
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: ten and a half. Hat it, m hmm. I hate
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: it because we just saw Oakland give the Chiefs all
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: they can handle in Oakland, right, So the inclination here is, well,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: let's take the ten and a half points. But we've
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: also seen the Raiders just totally at the bed. So
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: the Steelers are off two losses in a row, they
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: may well come in here just being very angry. I
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't shock me if the Raiders kept it remotely close,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: or wouldn't shock me if the Raider If the Steelers
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: won this thing by seventeen, I don't know. I if
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: the Steelers wouldn't be all two losses, I would probably
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: take Oakland. But there, this team's got to be feeling
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: it right now, right not playing. Yeah, I don't like it,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: but I mean the problem is the passing game is
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: still it's still what it is. I mean, Opland can't
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: defend that. They couldn't stop Kansas City last week throwing
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: the ball. They're not gonna stop Pittsburgh throwing the ball.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: The question is can Oakland score enough points to hang
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: in this thing? I don't know. I it's not one
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: of my best bets, especially considering what's left on the board.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: I'd say maybe what's left on the board right now.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Jess in Minnesota and Seattle right, Nope, l A in Chicago, alright, Bears, Bears,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: let Georgie Georgie King read it first. Aney, Sorry, Los
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Angeles Rams at Chicago Rams three Bears. Bears agreed, Bears,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: this is a primetime spot, cold weather game in Chicago.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: The Bears have convinced me, Chad, they're real. The Bears
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: are real. I was as impressed as I was with
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: the Giants winning that game in overtime. I was equally
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: impressed with the Bears getting it to overtime. That was
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: a game that realistically, they didn't need. They could have
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: just mailed it in. Chase Daniel was in there. Whatever that.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: You know, they're on the road, but that team fought,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: they played hard. Matt Neggie is a great play callers,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: right up there with Sean McVeigh. In my mind, I
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: like the Bears here at home plus the three with
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Drew Bisky back exactly. That's it, all right. We don't
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: need the last game. The Vikings and the Seahawks can
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: suck it. We're not taking them. Our recap is Bears
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: plus three Boom, Patriots minus seven and a half, Giants
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: plus minus three and a half, the Browns plus two
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: and a half Boom, and the Arizona Cardinals plus two
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: and a half. That is a one point four million
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: dollar pick is baby? Sure is? That's how winning is done. Dude,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: are you gonna take us out? You want Stacy to
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: take us out? I am thank you everybody for listening
