• 7:37
  Speaker 8: are here. We got a ton to talk about, so
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: let's get it kicked off with college football. We're going
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: to talk about last week and, of course, this week.
• 7:47
  Speaker 8: All right, so here we go. We're going to kick
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: it off with NCAA. We are going to talk about
• 7:52
  Speaker 8: the AP Top 25. We'll see where all the teams rank,
• 7:56
  Speaker 8: and then we'll go over last week's games that I picked,
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: and we will pick for this week. But here we go.
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: Wisconsin coming in at number 25. Last week they were unranked,
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: and they are ranked now. They are number 25 at 5-2,
• 8:11
  Speaker 8: up two spots to 24, which means that their first
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: time in the rankings. Oklahoma State is 5-2 at 24.
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: Down one spot to 23 is Missouri at 5-2. Up
• 8:23
  Speaker 8: three spots to number 22 is Arizona, 6-1. In the
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: rankings still, they moved up also. Northwestern, 6-1 at number 20.
• 8:36
  Speaker 8: That is crazy right now. I am so excited for
• 8:41
  Speaker 8: this team. So technically... They're at 21. This is 20.
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: I think they made a mistake here. But yeah, I'm
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: excited for Northwestern. They are bowl eligible for the first
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: time in a very long time, which is exciting. They
• 8:56
  Speaker 8: have a chance to at least make a bowl, and
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: who knows? If they keep winning, they could make it
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: to the playoffs. So we'll see what happens there. Number 20,
• 9:03
  Speaker 8: up one spot, is Boise State. It's 6-1, number 19.
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: At 6-1 is SMU. Down four spots to number 18
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: is Houston, who are 6-2. Up three spots to 17
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: is Florida at 5-2. Down five spots to number 16
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: is Tennessee, who are now 6-2. Up three spots to
• 9:25
  Speaker 8: number 15 is LSU, who are 6-2. Up three spots
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: to number 14 is Wake Forest at 6-1. Down five spots...
• 9:38
  Speaker 8: To number 13 is Texas Tech at 6-1. Number 12,
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: down five spots, is Ole Miss at 5-2. Up eight spots,
• 9:51
  Speaker 8: back to almost in the top ten. After their win
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: as Texas at 5-2, that blonde girl will be very
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: happy that Arch Manning is playing better. They went up
• 10:02
  Speaker 8: eight spots. That's crazy. Up three spots to number ten
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: back in the top ten is Bama. Roll Tide at 6-2.
• 10:11
  Speaker 8: Number nine up three spots is Kentucky at 7-1. Down
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: six spots to number eight is BYU at 6-1. Let's see,
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: up two spots to number seven is UCLA, who are 7-0.
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: Up four spots to number six is Utah, who are 7-0.
• 10:31
  Speaker 8: Down one spot to number five is Notre Dame. They
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: are 6-1. Up two spots to number four is Indiana,
• 10:39
  Speaker 8: who are 7-1. They beat my Michigan Wolverines. I was pissed.
• 10:43
  Speaker 8: It was a very close game, though. Let's see. Up
• 10:47
  Speaker 8: two spots to number three is Georgia at 6-1. Up
• 10:52
  Speaker 8: one spot to number two is Ohio State. They are
• 10:57
  Speaker 8: number two now. They went up one spot. They play
• 11:00
  Speaker 8: USC on Halloween at 6-30, so that's going to be crazy.
• 11:04
  Speaker 8: And then the number one team still, the Rocks' alma mater,
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: the University of Miami. They are number one, and they've
• 11:15
  Speaker 8: got North Carolina coming up at North Carolina on Halloween.
• 11:20
  Speaker 8: So we will see what it looks like next week,
• 11:24
  Speaker 8: and let's go into my pick-ems because this is exciting
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: to get to do it live. But first, let's see
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: how I did. Right now I'm 40-37 in college, so
• 11:34
  Speaker 8: I'm still above 500, but I've been struggling apparently because
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: last week I went 4-6th. on my rankings out of
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: these 10 teams. So let's see where we're at. I
• 11:45
  Speaker 8: picked Toledo to win, and they did. They beat Western
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: Michigan Broncos 45-38. I picked Tennessee over South Carolina Gamecocks,
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: and they lost to unranked South Carolina 27-24. That's crazy.
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: That's why they dropped a little bit, too. I picked
• 12:05
  Speaker 8: the Navy Shipmen... To beat the North Texas Mean Green.
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: And they did not. North Texas at 5-2 right now.
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: Won 49-39. I picked the Iowa Hawkeyes. The number 15
• 12:21
  Speaker 8: Iowa Hawkeyes last week. To beat the unranked Minnesota Golden Gophers.
• 12:26
  Speaker 8: And they did not. Minnesota right now was not ranked.
• 12:29
  Speaker 8: And they won 13-10. I picked the Virginia Tech Hokies.
• 12:35
  Speaker 8: Oh no, I picked Clemson Tigers. to beat the Virginia
• 12:38
  Speaker 8: Tech Hokies. The Hokies won 20-16 and are 6-2 right now.
• 12:45
  Speaker 8: I picked the, at the time, number 19 Texas Longhorns
• 12:50
  Speaker 8: to beat the number 7 Ole Miss Rebels, and they
• 12:52
  Speaker 8: did 34-27. I picked the USC Trojans to beat the
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: Wisconsin Badgers. Wisconsin was unranked, and they beat them 24-7.
• 13:06
  Speaker 8: Wisconsin is now in the top 25 at the 25 spot.
• 13:09
  Speaker 8: That's crazy. I picked the UTSA Roadrunners to beat Tulane,
• 13:15
  Speaker 8: and they did, 42-19. I also picked the New Mexico Lobos,
• 13:21
  Speaker 8: who are now 6-1, to beat the North Dakota State Bison,
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: and they did, 21-16. And I picked the Houston Cougars...
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: who are ranked number 14 to beat the number 10
• 13:37
  Speaker 8: Utah Utes, and they did not. Utah is still undefeated, 7-0.
• 13:41
  Speaker 8: They won 21-13. So let's see what 10 games they're
• 13:47
  Speaker 8: going to give me this week on Halloween. Let's see. Saturday,
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: they're giving me the number 22 Arizona Wildcats, 6-1, against
• 13:56
  Speaker 8: the number 13 Texas Tech Red Raiders, who are 6-1.
• 13:59
  Speaker 8: I don't know. I'm going to go with Arizona on this.
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: They're the underdog, but I'm going to go with Let's see,
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: number 25, Wisconsin Badgers at 5-2 and the unranked 5-2
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: Iowa Hawkeyes. This one's a little tough because Wisconsin needs
• 14:16
  Speaker 8: to win to stay in that top 25 range, so
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: I'm going to go with them. Another upset, but I
• 14:22
  Speaker 8: think that Wisconsin's going to win that one. Let's see,
• 14:26
  Speaker 8: we've got the 5-2 Minnesota Golden Gophers against the 7-1
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: Indiana Hoosiers. After beating Michigan last week, I don't think
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: they should have a problem with Minnesota. Then again, they're 5-2,
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: so you never know, but we're going to go with
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: the Indiana Hoosiers, the defending national champions. We got the
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: number 20 Northwestern Wildcats traveling to Oregon to play the Ducks.
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: I'm going to tell you now, this could be a
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: sleeper game. Right now, Northwestern is the underdog in this game,
• 15:00
  Speaker 8: and they were talking about it today, and they said
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: the same thing. Oregon is hungry and they're angry right now.
• 15:06
  Speaker 8: They are used to being in the top 25 and
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: they're not. They are not happy right now. So this
• 15:12
  Speaker 8: could be a rough game, but I do think Northwestern
• 15:15
  Speaker 8: is going to get the win. I need to bet
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: on these because so far I've picked three underdogs. If
• 15:20
  Speaker 8: I won that bet, I bet you it would be
• 15:23
  Speaker 8: a pretty decent amount if those teams won. I might
• 15:26
  Speaker 8: go with this. I might bet on the ones that
• 15:28
  Speaker 8: I'm doing right now. We've got the number six Utah
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: Utes at 7-0, taking on the Cincinnati Bearcats, who are 5-2.
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: I'm going to go with the Utes, Utah. I'm going
• 15:41
  Speaker 8: to take them. The Oklahoma Sooners at 4-3 versus the
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: South Carolina Gamecocks. This one seems a little up in
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: the air. This could go either way, because both teams
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: are unranked. Both teams are 4-3. The Sooners are at home,
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: and they are the underdogs of South Carolina. We're going
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: to go with Oklahoma, though, on this one. Oklahoma wants
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: to try to fight back into that top 25 somehow,
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: so we'll see what happens. We also got on Halloween
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: the App State Mountaineers at 5-2 versus the Georgia Southern Eagles.
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: But here's the crazy thing. They're 3-4. But the App
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: State Mountaineers are the underdog. But we're going with the underdog.
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: 86% of people chose the App State Mountaineers. So let's
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: see what happens. And then let's see. We've got the
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: Clemson Tigers at 4-3 against the 3-4 Florida State Seminoles. Clemson, again,
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: is the underdog in this. I'm going to go with
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: Florida State on this one. And the last two, we've
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: got the number two Ohio State Buckeyes against Taking on
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: the USC Trojans, who are not ranked at 6-2, which
• 17:01
  Speaker 8: is crazy. I can't see Ohio State losing this, as
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: much as I hate Ohio State. I think they're going
• 17:09
  Speaker 8: to win. So we're going to go Ohio State. And
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: then finally, we've got the Army Black Knights at 5-2.
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: Taking on the Memphis Tigers at 6-2. Let's take Memphis
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: on that one. So there's my 10 picks. We'll see
• 17:22
  Speaker 8: what happens. Hopefully I win all 10. I'm going to
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: bet on some of these, maybe. I'm thinking about it.
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: We'll see. I'll see if I decide to. Yeah, so
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: that's it. Let's go over and talk some NFL because
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: we really don't have anything to talk about right now. Oh,
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: you know what? Hold on. Before we do that, let's
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: see how the NCAA playoffs look right now. Let's see.
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: NCAA football playoff standings. So let's see. Do they have
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: it up already? They should, because the season's coming to
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: an end soon. Do they have it? That's last year's.
• 18:19
  Speaker 8: I don't know. Maybe they don't have it. I'm sure
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: it's somewhere, but I don't see it right now. Oh, yeah,
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: I forgot. They have to go through it, yeah. So
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: right now, I mean, there's just predictions, but there's no
• 18:41
  Speaker 8: actual set playoff brackets yet. So, yeah, we're not going
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: to go over that. We will wait on that. Let's
• 18:46
  Speaker 8: go talk some NFL. All right, so let's look at
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: the top 10. I'm not going to go through every
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: team right now. Here's the top 10 as of right now.
• 18:57
  Speaker 8: Number 10 down three spots is the New England Patriots,
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: who are four and three after their loss to the
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: Chicago Bears. Number nine up two spots into the top
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: 10 is the Chicago Bears at five and two. That
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: was a big, huge win on Thursday night football against
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: the New England Patriots. We'll talk about that in a
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: little bit. Denver Broncos up one spot to number eight
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: at five and two. The Kansas City Chiefs at five
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: and one, down five spots after losing to number seven.
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: Down one spot to number six is the now four
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: and two Jacksonville Jaguars. Up one spot to number five
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: is the Cincinnati Bengals at four and two. Let's see.
• 19:43
  Speaker 8: Number four, up six spots is the Seattle Seahawks, who
• 19:47
  Speaker 8: won on Sunday night. They won their game, and they
• 19:52
  Speaker 8: did pretty good. It was a good game, but Seattle
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: really beating Kansas City, that's huge, and giving them their
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: first loss is even bigger. That is going to be
• 20:02
  Speaker 8: a huge game against the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football.
• 20:07
  Speaker 8: We'll talk about that in a few minutes, too. Number
• 20:10
  Speaker 8: three down two spots is the now 6-1 San Francisco 49ers.
• 20:15
  Speaker 8: Number two up one spot is the 5-1 Buffalo Bills.
• 20:19
  Speaker 8: And at the number one spot up three spots is
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: the now only undefeated team in the NFL, the 6-0
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: Minnesota Vikings. I never thought this would happen, honestly. I
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: thought it was going to be the Bears and Packers
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: fighting for that first spot. Or even Detroit. Minnesota, though,
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: are they frauds or not? We're going to find out.
• 20:40
  Speaker 8: They've got a very, very tough schedule coming up in
• 20:44
  Speaker 8: the next four games. And this is really going to
• 20:46
  Speaker 8: prove where they are as a team. The first one,
• 20:51
  Speaker 8: here's the next four games for the Minnesota Vikings. Let's
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: see who they've got next. So here we go. Week 7.
• 21:05
  Speaker 8: That was last week. Wait a second, where's week? Okay,
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: here we go. This week, this week it's at the Lions.
• 21:20
  Speaker 8: That's going to be a tough one. Division, that's always
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: a tough one right there. Week 9, they are going
• 21:27
  Speaker 8: to face the Buffalo Bills. Week 10, they're at Green Bay.
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: Week 11 against the 49ers. Week 12 against the Falcons.
• 21:40
  Speaker 8: Then they got the Panthers at home. So these are
• 21:43
  Speaker 8: all teams that could beat them. At the Patriots, look,
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: Patriots didn't beat us, but that doesn't mean that they
• 21:48
  Speaker 8: won't beat the Vikings. Then they got the Lions again
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: in Week 15. Then Week 16 against the Commanders. Week
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: 17 at the Jets. And then they play the Bears.
• 21:59
  Speaker 8: And this could be for first place, depending on what
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: the records of both teams are going into Week 18.
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: So we'll see what happens there. But Minnesota, you're going
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: to prove a lot in the next few weeks if
• 22:13
  Speaker 8: you can win these games or not. All right, let's
• 22:15
  Speaker 8: see what I did last week, and then we'll make
• 22:18
  Speaker 8: our predictions for this week. Oh, first we're going to
• 22:21
  Speaker 8: talk about.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 22:23
  Speaker 8: Let's see how I did. Let's do this in order.
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: Let's see where I'm at in the standings because... Yeah,
• 22:32
  Speaker 8: it's been pretty crazy. Okay, so the NFL pick-ems. I
• 22:38
  Speaker 8: am sitting at 62-44. I'm 18 games above 500. Not
• 22:44
  Speaker 8: too bad. I'm doing way better with my pick-ems on
• 22:46
  Speaker 8: here than I did on there. All right, so here
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: we go. Tonight, Thursday Night Football kicks off with the
• 22:53
  Speaker 8: Green Bay Packers at home, 4-3, taking on the Carolina Panthers. Oh, wait, wait,
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: hold on. supposed to go over last week's games. First off,
• 23:04
  Speaker 8: it was the Bears and the Patriots. Bears won 30-24.
• 23:08
  Speaker 8: I picked them. Pittsburgh Steelers, I picked them to win,
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: and they did out of country, too. They did it
• 23:16
  Speaker 8: 5-2 now. Pittsburgh Steelers beating the New Orleans Saints 16-10.
• 23:23
  Speaker 8: I picked San Francisco to beat Atlanta. They did not.
• 23:26
  Speaker 8: Atlanta gave San Francisco their first loss of the season. 29-20.
• 23:31
  Speaker 8: I picked the Colts to beat the Minnesota Vikings. I
• 23:35
  Speaker 8: thought they were going to get their first loss, and
• 23:37
  Speaker 8: they didn't. They won 16-10 in that one. I picked
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: the Carolina Panthers over the Buccaneers. The Buccaneers spanked them. 43-13.
• 23:47
  Speaker 8: They made it look nasty. That was horrible. And they
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: did it in Carolina, too. That's even worse. Let's see.
• 23:55
  Speaker 8: Then I picked the Baltimore Ravens to beat the Cincinnati Bengals.
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: Cincinnati won 35-13. I picked the Cleveland Browns to beat
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: the Titans, and they did. The Cleveland Browns are now
• 24:10
  Speaker 8: 5-2 right now. This is crazy. They won 27-24. I
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: picked the New York Jets to beat the Miami Dolphins.
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: Miami got their first win of the season in New York,
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: beating the Jets 28-25. I picked the.
• 24:31
  Speaker 8: Houston Texans to beat the Giants. They did not. Giants
• 24:36
  Speaker 8: won 27-21. I picked the Broncos over Arizona and they
• 24:41
  Speaker 8: won 30-16. I picked the Detroit Lions to beat the
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: Packers and they did 20-17. I picked the Rams to
• 24:53
  Speaker 8: beat the Vegas Raiders and they did 35-21. Sunday Night Football,
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: I picked the Kansas City Chiefs to beat Seattle and
• 25:03
  Speaker 8: they did not Seattle gave Kansas City their first loss
• 25:06
  Speaker 8: of the year 20-3 and then I took the Dallas
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: Cowboys over the Philadelphia Eagles and they won big 38-21
• 25:16
  Speaker 8: so decent week for me I ended up going I
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: won 7-7 not the greatest but you know it is
• 25:25
  Speaker 8: what it is I still won so that's good and
• 25:28
  Speaker 8: I'm still 62-44. So let's talk really quick about the
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: Chicago Bears game with the Patriots and look at the stats.
• 25:37
  Speaker 8: Chicago Bears, I think, shocked a lot of people that
• 25:40
  Speaker 8: week beating the Patriots. I don't think anybody necessarily saw
• 25:45
  Speaker 8: this one coming. I think that, you know, being in
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: a four-day between games and... Now, that game, of course,
• 25:58
  Speaker 8: was in Chicago, so they didn't have to travel for it.
• 26:03
  Speaker 8: But it was still back-to-back games for Caleb Williams. And
• 26:07
  Speaker 8: he was just coming off that injury. And he looked
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: superb again. Two weeks in a row, throws over 300 yards.
• 26:16
  Speaker 8: Efficiency was amazing. You know, here we go. Let's look
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: at the team stats really quick for both teams and
• 26:23
  Speaker 8: see who did what. Total passing yards, total yards the
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: Bears got 405 yards to 380 for the Patriots. Passing yards,
• 26:29
  Speaker 8: 310 for the Patriots to 289 for the Bears. Rushing
• 26:32
  Speaker 8: was Bears 116 to the 70 for the Patriots. Yards
• 26:34
  Speaker 8: per play, 7.6 for the Patriots, 6.1 for the Bears.
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: First downs, Bears won that 21-20. Bears were 4 for
• 26:51
  Speaker 8: 12 on third downs. New England was 2 of 7.
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: They were 0 for 1 on fourth downs. The Bears
• 26:59
  Speaker 8: were 2 for 2. 66 total plays again for the
• 27:03
  Speaker 8: Bears to 50. That's the name of the game for
• 27:06
  Speaker 8: the Bears this year, is taking over the time of
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: possession and the plays. If you keep your defense off
• 27:13
  Speaker 8: the field the longest you possibly can, they are going
• 27:16
  Speaker 8: to look good while they're out there. The Bears did
• 27:19
  Speaker 8: allow three sacks on Caleb, only two on Drake May.
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: Four to two in punts for New England. Penalties. Bears
• 27:28
  Speaker 8: 9 for 69 yards and 10 for 71 for the Patriots,
• 27:33
  Speaker 8: so pretty even there. Bears still got to clean up
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: some of these penalties. Nine is still a lot to
• 27:38
  Speaker 8: have in a game, especially in four quarters. They need
• 27:42
  Speaker 8: to fix that up. No fumbles. Only one interception thrown
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: by Drake May. Bears had time possession 32 minutes and
• 27:49
  Speaker 8: 24 seconds to 27 minutes and 36 seconds. They out-tackled
• 27:54
  Speaker 8: us 38 to 32. They were one for one in
• 27:57
  Speaker 8: field goals. We were three for four. Red zone, Bears
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: three for four. They were one for two. Player stats,
• 28:06
  Speaker 8: let's go over that. Drake May, 24-31, 321 yards, two touchdowns,
• 28:12
  Speaker 8: one interception, sacked twice, a rating of 117.8. Drake May
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: also ran four for 26 yards and a touchdown. Stevenson,
• 28:23
  Speaker 8: six for 22. Ramondre Stevenson also had five receptions for
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: 93 yards and a touchdown. He's their running back. That
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: was not good. If your running back has to do
• 28:36
  Speaker 8: all the catching and the running. Hunter Henry, 7 for 71. Radon,
• 28:42
  Speaker 8: 3 for 56 and a touchdown. A.J. Brown, 6 targets,
• 28:47
  Speaker 8: 3 catches for 48 yards. Big tackles was Ellis with 13.
• 28:56
  Speaker 8: Jones had a sack. Let's see. Barmore had a sack
• 29:02
  Speaker 8: and Taylor the 3rd Had the other one for the Bears.
• 29:06
  Speaker 8: Caleb Williams, 22-33. 308 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions. Three
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: times sacked. His QB rating was 116.7. Swifty ran for
• 29:11
  Speaker 8: 22 carries for 78 yards and a touchdown. Caleb ran
• 29:12
  Speaker 8: 5 for 18. Roshon Johnson, 2 for 13. And Burden,
• 29:14
  Speaker 8: 1 for 7. Burden, what a first half he had.
• 29:33
  Speaker 8: Four receptions on four targets, 130 yards, one touchdown. That
• 29:38
  Speaker 8: was all in the first half. The second half was
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: Roman Dunzay and the other receivers. Four for 69 for
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: Rome out of five targets. He only had one drop.
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: Colston Loveland had 12 targets, only seven catches. He needs
• 29:52
  Speaker 8: to get that up, especially with the news that we
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: heard during that game. Loveland also had a touchdown. Cole Komet,
• 29:59
  Speaker 8: who went down with an injury in the game, he
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: is going to be out for the season. It is
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: a lower leg injury. He had to be carted off
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: the field. He had three catches on three targets, 428 yards. Swift,
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: four for 12 yards. Thetaman, eight tackles and a half
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: a sack. Jackson with the interception. Gordon had another sack again.
• 30:25
  Speaker 8: Gordon is like a sack king. Four sacks in the
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: first two games back for Kyler Gordon. This guy is amazing,
• 30:31
  Speaker 8: and this is what we were missing. This week we
• 30:35
  Speaker 8: get back Montez Sweat also. Cairo Santos missed a 53-yard
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: field goal. The Bears trust him to kick another one
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: to ice the game. He hits it from 58 yards,
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: his career long. 58 yards. Bears won. And what a game.
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: It was an amazing game. That pretty much iced it.
• 31:02
  Speaker 8: It was 30-24. Great game for both teams. But the Bears, 5-2.
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: You can't say anything bad right now. This team is
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: looking good. We'll see what they do. They got a
• 31:15
  Speaker 8: big game against Seattle coming up. And now... We are
• 31:19
  Speaker 8: going to be missing Cole Komet, and that is going
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: to sting a little bit because Cole Komet is an
• 31:26
  Speaker 8: amazing tight end because he does the little stuff. He
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: goes out there and he does the stuff that, you know,
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: he does the blocking. He does anything you ask him
• 31:37
  Speaker 8: to do. He is an unselfish player, and we are
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: going to miss him for the year. We'll see what
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: happens next year with him, if he's coming back or not,
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: but that's a tough one. But, hey, on to the
• 31:51
  Speaker 8: next man. Sam Rauch, I'm looking at you. You are
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: a rookie tight end. You've had a couple of nice catches.
• 31:58
  Speaker 8: You've had a couple of times that we scratched our
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: head and said, what the F just happened? But you
• 32:03
  Speaker 8: know what? This is the time. Even Colson Loveland last
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: year in his first year with the Bears in his
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: rookie year, he had a rough couple of first games.
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: He ended up coming back and doing amazing. So we'll
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: see what happens out of Sam Rauch. But next man up,
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: Chicago Bears, we're looking at you. All right, let's go
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: over this week's games and do my picks for the week.
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: We've got the Carolina Panthers Thursday night going into Green
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: Bay to Lambeau Field to play the 4-3 Packers. I'm
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: going Carolina. We're going. We're taking the upset straight out
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: the gate. We're taking the Carolina Panthers to go 4-3
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: and knock the Packers down to 4-4. Let's go. Baltimore Ravens.
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: It looks like we're done with international games for now.
• 32:54
  Speaker 8: These all start at noon on Sunday. So here we go.
• 32:58
  Speaker 8: Baltimore Ravens at the Buffalo Bills. I can see the
• 33:02
  Speaker 8: Ravens winning this one. Buffalo's going to take it. We
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: have the Tennessee Titans at 1-6. Going to Cincinnati to
• 33:09
  Speaker 8: play the Bengals at 4-2. Got to take Cincinnati on
• 33:13
  Speaker 8: that one. You've got the 2-5 Cardinals. playing at Arlington
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: against the 3-4 Dallas Cowboys. I got to go Dallas,
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: but Arizona, they could win. We'll see what happens, but
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: we're going to go Dallas on this one. This is
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: for you, Hootie. This is for you. Got the Dallas Cowboys.
• 33:34
  Speaker 8: Let's see. 6-0 Vikings, 4-2 Lions. We're going Lions. Lions
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: are going to win. Lions are going to lie in
• 33:41
  Speaker 8: in this game, and it's at Ford Field. Minnesota is
• 33:46
  Speaker 8: going to get their first loss and be 6-1. Let's see.
• 33:51
  Speaker 8: We've got the Las Vegas Raiders at 3-4 traveling to
• 33:55
  Speaker 8: the 2-5 Jets. This is one of those games where
• 33:59
  Speaker 8: even though the Raiders are the underdog, I got to
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: go with the Vegas Raiders. I can't take the Jets.
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: I can't take the Jets serious. Cleveland Browns 5-2. Pittsburgh
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: Steelers 5-2. We're taking, I think the Browns won the
• 34:15
  Speaker 8: first meeting. I'm going with the Pittsburgh Steelers. That's in Pittsburgh.
• 34:20
  Speaker 8: Aaron Rodgers is going to win that one. We've got
• 34:23
  Speaker 8: the Atlanta Falcons at 3-4, traveling to Tampa to play
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: the Buccaneers. We're going to take Atlanta with that one.
• 34:31
  Speaker 8: Let's see. And finally, the last noon game, we've got
• 34:35
  Speaker 8: the Indianapolis Colts at 2-5, taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars
• 34:40
  Speaker 8: at 4-2. We've got to go to Jacksonville on this one.
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: The Colts have been struggling. They just traded away a
• 34:45
  Speaker 8: couple of their guys. They're looking to, it looks like
• 34:49
  Speaker 8: they're almost at the point where they know the season's
• 34:51
  Speaker 8: going to be done soon for them, and so they
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: are already getting rid of guys. 305, we've got the
• 34:59
  Speaker 8: 0-6 Chargers taking on the 3-4 Rams. I think Stanford's
• 35:04
  Speaker 8: going to run right through Herbert, and I think Khalil
• 35:07
  Speaker 8: Mack is on his way back to Chicago. The Mack
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: attack's going to be back. We'll talk about that in
• 35:11
  Speaker 8: a second. Rams in that one. 325, we've got the
• 35:16
  Speaker 8: 5-1 Kansas City Chiefs and the 5-2 Denver Broncos. Look,
• 35:21
  Speaker 8: the Chiefs are coming off of their first loss. They
• 35:24
  Speaker 8: are going to want this win bad. They are not
• 35:26
  Speaker 8: going to lose. Mahomes and Kelsey have big games. Kansas
• 35:30
  Speaker 8: City Chiefs with the big win. Let's see. We've got
• 35:35
  Speaker 8: the 4-3 New England Patriots taking on the 1-5 Dolphins
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: who got their first win of the season. I don't
• 35:40
  Speaker 8: see back-to-back losses for the Patriots. We're going to go
• 35:43
  Speaker 8: with New England on that one. 720, Sunday Night Football.
• 35:49
  Speaker 8: We've got the 2-5 Philadelphia Eagles and the 1-4-1 Washington Commanders. And, oh,
• 35:56
  Speaker 8: my God, this is going to be a snoozefest. I mean, yeah,
• 35:59
  Speaker 8: you've got Saquon, but damn. Is Jaden Daniels even playing,
• 36:05
  Speaker 8: or did he get hurt again? I don't know what's
• 36:07
  Speaker 8: going on there. And then we got Jalen Hurts out
• 36:10
  Speaker 8: for the year with his blood clots. But we're going to.
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: I don't even know. It's so weird. It's like you
• 36:21
  Speaker 8: want to take Philly because of Saquon being there, but... Ugh.
• 36:26
  Speaker 8: I guess I got to go with the Commanders. Commanders
• 36:29
  Speaker 8: are going to be 2-4-1 after that. And now the
• 36:32
  Speaker 8: one that matters to us Chicagoans, the Chicago Bears at 5-2.
• 36:37
  Speaker 8: Going into Seattle. Seattle hot off that big win against
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: Kansas City. But guess what? Caleb's going to Caleb. He's
• 36:45
  Speaker 8: going to have another 300-yard game through the air. We're
• 36:49
  Speaker 8: going to have a run. Montez Sweat's back. Sam Rauch
• 36:55
  Speaker 8: is going to step up because he has to. Loveland's
• 36:58
  Speaker 8: going to step up as the number one tight end now. Well,
• 37:01
  Speaker 8: he's always been the number one tight end to me.
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: But still, now it's official with Cole Komet being out.
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: Sam Roush, Doomsday's going to have another big game. We're
• 37:12
  Speaker 8: going to have another big game out of Burden. Bears
• 37:14
  Speaker 8: are going to win this game and go 6-2 on
• 37:17
  Speaker 8: the season. That's who I'm taking. So we'll see what happens.
• 37:21
  Speaker 8: I believe Khalil Mack is going to be a Chicago Bear,
• 37:25
  Speaker 8: if not by the end of this week. Now, you're saying, well,
• 37:31
  Speaker 8: it's Thursday and Khalil Mack is a Bear. Because it
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: could happen. They're already looking to trade for him, so
• 37:39
  Speaker 8: it could happen. I record this show on Tuesday. Okay,
• 37:45
  Speaker 8: you hear it on Thursday, which is why everything in
• 37:47
  Speaker 8: the show is Thursday and beyond. Because I am recording
• 37:51
  Speaker 8: the show on Tuesday, but you hear it on Thursday.
• 37:57
  Speaker 8: I don't know the future, so I don't know if
• 37:59
  Speaker 8: Khalil Mack is a bear yet. If he is not
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: a bear yet, if they lose this game this week...
• 38:06
  Speaker 8: Khalil Mack is all but gone. He's not going to
• 38:09
  Speaker 8: stay with a team that has no chance of winning.
• 38:13
  Speaker 8: And what does the Bears give him? A very better
• 38:16
  Speaker 8: shot of winning than the Chargers do right now. Khalil
• 38:20
  Speaker 8: Mack is probably saying, man, I had a chance to
• 38:22
  Speaker 8: go back to Chicago. I probably should have went back
• 38:25
  Speaker 8: to Chicago. Khalil Mack could have been a bear. It
• 38:29
  Speaker 8: was between L.A. and Chicago. And he chose to stay
• 38:32
  Speaker 8: in L.A. Well, he may get to right that wrong
• 38:36
  Speaker 8: by being traded to the Bears. And I would love
• 38:42
  Speaker 8: the return of the Mac. If he gets back to
• 38:45
  Speaker 8: the Bears by the time I do this show, by
• 38:48
  Speaker 8: the time I record next Tuesday, I'll play a return
• 38:51
  Speaker 8: to the Mac. Because I want him back here in Chicago.
• 38:56
  Speaker 8: Because even though he is older and he would be
• 38:59
  Speaker 8: a rental... If he decides not to sign back next year,
• 39:02
  Speaker 8: I think that he could still make some noise for
• 39:05
  Speaker 8: us this year. Right now, we don't want to lock
• 39:07
  Speaker 8: in his age at this stage for a long term.
• 39:13
  Speaker 8: So as a Bears fan, I would love to see
• 39:16
  Speaker 8: them give up maybe a fourth or fifth round pick.
• 39:19
  Speaker 8: Or maybe a third round pick. We're very bad with
• 39:22
  Speaker 8: our third round picks. So I could see us doing
• 39:24
  Speaker 8: that too. But we'll see what happens. All right, let's
• 39:28
  Speaker 8: move on. to our next topic, which is IHSA high
• 39:34
  Speaker 8: school football playoffs. We are in the second round. Well,
• 39:37
  Speaker 8: according to this, it's the first round, which is very weird.
• 39:40
  Speaker 8: I don't know. High school football does it differently than
• 39:44
  Speaker 8: all the other ones do. It's kind of weird, but
• 39:47
  Speaker 8: it says right here, that technically the first round is
• 39:53
  Speaker 8: considered opening round, and then you got the first round.
• 39:56
  Speaker 8: So I don't understand why they do that. It's kind
• 39:59
  Speaker 8: of weird. Maybe it's to get more teams in there. But, yeah,
• 40:03
  Speaker 8: let's go over this right now and see where we're at.
• 40:07
  Speaker 8: So last week in the opening round was number 33,

• 45:37
  Speaker 8: at 2.30 p.m. Wow, that's weird. That's really strange. It's
• 45:43
  Speaker 8: really weird because it's usually always on Friday, but even
• 45:47
  Speaker 8: if it's not, it's Halloween. That's when kids go trick-or-treating.
• 45:51
  Speaker 8: And I know they're high school kids, but hey, high
• 45:54
  Speaker 8: school kids trick-or-treat too. And finally, number 11, Chicago St.
• 45:59
  Speaker 8: Ignatius will play number 22, West Aurora in Chicago at
• 46:06
  Speaker 8: 7 p.m. on Friday. So there it is. Next week,
• 46:10
  Speaker 8: we're going to see who moves on I hope that
• 46:12
  Speaker 8: the second round will be, of course, against Bolingbroke. I'm
• 46:20
  Speaker 8: hoping they can move on to play somebody. We'll see
• 46:23
  Speaker 8: what happens there. Really quick, before we move on to
• 46:28
  Speaker 8: our entertainment section, we've got to talk about this World Series. Now, obviously,
• 46:33
  Speaker 8: I'm recording this on Tuesday, like I said, so it's
• 46:36
  Speaker 8: a little different. I don't know who the World Series
• 46:39
  Speaker 8: champion is right now, But right now, at this point
• 46:44
  Speaker 8: of the time that I'm doing this, Tampa Bay is
• 46:46
  Speaker 8: up 1-0 on Milwaukee. But the fact that Milwaukee took
• 46:50
  Speaker 8: a three-game lead in this series really shocked me. I
• 46:56
  Speaker 8: thought that Tampa would play a lot better than they
• 47:01
  Speaker 8: have in this series. Now, obviously this one, they are
• 47:05
  Speaker 8: winning 1-0 right now. Look, by the time this airs
• 47:12
  Speaker 8: on Thursday, that's an off day for them. If it
• 47:16
  Speaker 8: is going to go to Game 6 on Friday and
• 47:18
  Speaker 8: Game 7 on Saturday on Halloween, I think that Major
• 47:22
  Speaker 8: League Baseball would make a lot of money off that.
• 47:25
  Speaker 8: That's just me. But at least at this point, right now,
• 47:31
  Speaker 8: it would be a 3-1 lead going into Game 5
• 47:34
  Speaker 8: on Wednesday night. By the time you hear this, World
• 47:38
  Speaker 8: Series could be over in four or five, depending on
• 47:40
  Speaker 8: what Milwaukee does. And I guess we'll see. But, yeah,
• 47:45
  Speaker 8: pretty crazy. So let's move on. Let's play a song,
• 47:50
  Speaker 8: another Halloween song, before we go into the entertainment section.
• 47:54
  Speaker 8: If you're done with the sports and that's all you
• 47:56
  Speaker 8: wanted to hear, I'll see you next week. If not,
• 47:59
  Speaker 8: check this song out and then come back for the entertainment.
• 48:02
  Speaker 8: Here we go. One of my favorite songs of all time, Ghostbusters,
• 48:06
  Speaker 8: right here. On the Robbie G Podcast. Leave it locked.
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: In.

• 48:44
  Speaker 9: If there's something weird and it don't look good, who
• 48:51

  Speaker 7: Ghost Who you gonna call?

  Speaker 4: Ghostbusters!
• 49:58
  Speaker 9: If you're all alone Pick up the phone and call.
• 50:12

• 50:15
  Speaker 9: I hear he likes to guess I ain't afraid of
• 50:21
  Speaker 9: no goose Who you gonna.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: Call?
• 50:29
  Speaker 10: If you've had a dose of a.

  Speaker 10: Don't get caught alone, oh no.
• 51:24
  Speaker 9: When it comes through your door Unless you just want

  Speaker 8: Ghostbusters Who you gonna call?

  Speaker 4: Louder!
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: Ghostbusters!
• 51:57
  Speaker 6: Who you gonna call?
• 51:58
  Speaker 7: Ghostbusters!
• 52:02
  Speaker 10: Who can you call?
• 52:02
  Speaker 7: Ghostbusters!
• 52:06
  Speaker 6: Who you gonna call?
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: Ghostbusters!
• 52:13
  Speaker 8: Alright, that was one of my favorite Halloween songs of
• 52:17
  Speaker 8: all time. That was The Ghostbusters right here on the
• 52:20
  Speaker 8: Robbie G Podcast. So last week I told everybody I
• 52:24
  Speaker 8: was going to name the top 10 Jay-Z songs that
• 52:29
  Speaker 8: he must play at halftime of the Super Bowl. And
• 52:31
  Speaker 8: it is official. He is going to be the halftime show.
• 52:37
  Speaker 8: They announced it on Monday Night Football last night. So
• 52:40
  Speaker 8: with that in mind, here we go. This is a
• 52:44
  Speaker 8: lot of people featured with him, too, which I want
• 52:47
  Speaker 8: to see a star-studded, you know, big to-do for this
• 52:53
  Speaker 8: halftime show. And if anybody can pull it together, it's Jay-Z.
• 52:57
  Speaker 8: Number 10, my number 10 song with Beyonce, Crazy in Love.
• 53:01
  Speaker 8: That's got to be played. It's a good song. Another
• 53:05
  Speaker 8: one that didn't make the list but is another good
• 53:08
  Speaker 8: Beyonce song with him is Bonnie and Clyde. That's another
• 53:11
  Speaker 8: good one. Those are two songs that I believe he
• 53:14
  Speaker 8: will play with her there. It is Valentine's Day, which
• 53:17
  Speaker 8: is going to be big, you know, being Valentine's Day.
• 53:20
  Speaker 8: So definitely want to hear that. Number nine, this is
• 53:24
  Speaker 8: a little far-fetched. I don't think it will happen. But
• 53:28
  Speaker 8: I really want to hear Renegade with Eminem. Now, I
• 53:32
  Speaker 8: know Eminem has been there before with Dr. Dre and everybody.
• 53:37
  Speaker 8: He also did his own halftime show during the Lions
• 53:41
  Speaker 8: game last year. So we'll see. Maybe he'll show up.
• 53:45
  Speaker 8: Who knows? You know, if the Lions make the Super Bowl,
• 53:49
  Speaker 8: which I hope it's the Bears, but, you know, could
• 53:52
  Speaker 8: be the Lions. But we'll see. But, yeah, so that
• 53:56
  Speaker 8: would be huge. Can I get a? I want to
• 54:00
  Speaker 8: hear a what what. I want to see it. Maybe
• 54:03
  Speaker 8: get Ja Rule to show up. Maybe, I forgot who
• 54:06
  Speaker 8: the girl was in the song, but I'd like to
• 54:08
  Speaker 8: hear it and I'd like to see it. Number seven,
• 54:11
  Speaker 8: Dirt Off My Shoulder. Definitely got to hear Dirt Off
• 54:13
  Speaker 8: My Shoulder. One of his best songs. Number six, Big Pimpin'.
• 54:18
  Speaker 8: You cannot have the Super Bowl without Big Pimpin' because
• 54:22
  Speaker 8: that's what he's doing. He's Big Pimpin' spending G's doing this.
• 54:26
  Speaker 8: Number five, one of his biggest hits of his career.
• 54:29
  Speaker 8: One of his top songs. Hard Knock Life, definitely got
• 54:34
  Speaker 8: to do it. This one's a little far-fetched, especially since
• 54:40
  Speaker 8: Chester's not around anymore. Linkin Park, maybe with Emily, doing
• 54:44
  Speaker 8: encore with him. I would love to see that mix.
• 54:49
  Speaker 8: That would be amazing. We'll see what happens with that.
• 54:52
  Speaker 8: But Linkin Park, that is somebody with Jay-Z. That was
• 54:56
  Speaker 8: a big album. Maybe he brings them out. Number three,
• 55:00
  Speaker 8: this is a no-brainer. Or, yeah, number three, no-brainer, 99 Problems.
• 55:05
  Speaker 8: This is one of your biggest hits. You gotta play it.
• 55:09
  Speaker 8: If you don't, I'll be ashamed of Jay-Z. Number two,
• 55:13
  Speaker 8: gotta do this one. Alicia Keys. I know it's in L.A.,
• 55:19
  Speaker 8: but he's from New York, okay? He has to do
• 55:24
  Speaker 8: an O to New York, even though they're in L.A.
• 55:27
  Speaker 8: So they gotta do Empire State of Mind. At least
• 55:29
  Speaker 8: Alicia Keys verse and one verse. It's got to happen.
• 55:33
  Speaker 8: And number one, the number one song I want to
• 55:36
  Speaker 8: hear with Jay-Z is you got to bring out Kanye.
• 55:42
  Speaker 8: You got to bring out Rihanna. You need Run This
• 55:46
  Speaker 8: Town because you are running that town that night with
• 55:50
  Speaker 8: the halftime show. Kanye's got to be there with them.
• 55:53
  Speaker 8: They are buds. I know Kanye's been a little, you know, lately.
• 55:58
  Speaker 8: He's been like this for a while. And I'm not
• 56:00
  Speaker 8: even talking the MAGA shit. I'm talking in general. Just
• 56:03
  Speaker 8: like he has been, since his mom passed away, Kanye
• 56:10
  Speaker 8: has been a little off the rails. And I'm thinking
• 56:13
  Speaker 8: his mom controlled a lot of what he did and
• 56:16
  Speaker 8: kept him on the up and up. And once she
• 56:20
  Speaker 8: passed away, There was nobody left to do that for him.
• 56:22
  Speaker 8: And now, you know, he's not as bad as he was,
• 56:26
  Speaker 8: you know, and stuff. But he's got to be there
• 56:28
  Speaker 8: because it's Kanye, it's Jay-Z. If Eminem and Kid Rock
• 56:33
  Speaker 8: can do a song together, so can Kanye and Jay-Z.
• 56:38
  Speaker 8: So definitely what I want to see. That is the
• 56:40
  Speaker 8: top ten songs that I want to hear. Message me, comment,
• 56:45
  Speaker 8: do whatever you got to do on one of my
• 56:47
  Speaker 8: social media sites, and let me know which Jay-Z song
• 56:50
  Speaker 8: you must hear at the Super Bowl this year on
• 56:55
  Speaker 8: February 14th. It's going to be big. All right, so
• 56:59
  Speaker 8: let's move on now. All right, so as of the
• 57:02
  Speaker 8: time of this recording, of what you're hearing, you have
• 57:10
  Speaker 8: three full days until Halloween, okay? You have three full days.
• 57:15
  Speaker 8: You got Thursday, Friday, Saturday. All day and all night
• 57:20
  Speaker 8: to watch Halloween movies. This is considered a movie challenge.
• 57:24
  Speaker 8: But this is 30 movies. 30 Halloween movies. Okay. And
• 57:30
  Speaker 8: I don't really know if this is necessarily in an order.
• 57:35
  Speaker 8: Or if they're just saying, how many have you watched?
• 57:38
  Speaker 8: But here's 30 Halloween movies that you have to watch every...
• 57:42
  Speaker 8: This Halloween. You have three days to watch as many
• 57:45
  Speaker 8: of these as you can. Let's see. So number 30

  Speaker 8: is Midsommar. Now it's spelled M-I-D-S-O-M-M-A-R. Don't know what that

  Speaker 8: he owns the property now. Him and another guy bought
• 59:44
  Speaker 8: it together, and they opened up in the house where
• 59:50
  Speaker 8: you could tour. And not only can you tour, but
• 59:53
  Speaker 8: you can see all the artifacts that they collected throughout
• 59:57
  Speaker 8: the years. From The Conjuring. They even have the original
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 8: Annabelle there. That's a little creepy. I don't know if

• 1:00:50
  Speaker 8: any of them, one through seven. Number two, the original Halloween.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 8: Do not watch the newer Halloweens. Watch the original Halloween.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 8: From 1978. That is the best one. I mean, you
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 8: could watch the newer ones with Jamie Lee Curtis, too.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 8: But if you're going to watch the original, watch the
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 8: actual original. Not Rob Zombie's version. Watch the original movie.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 6: Awesome.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 8: And number one? It has had to be number one.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 8: For most women. Not me. Hocus Pocus. The new one
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 8: is out, I believe, where you can watch it on
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 8: demand now. So you can check that one out. So
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 8: you can watch Hocus Pocus 1 and Hocus Pocus 2.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 8: But yeah, so those are 30 movies to watch this
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 8: Halloween season. And you've got plenty of time to be
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 8: able to do that. All right, so normally I end
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 8: the show with box office movies. I am going to
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 8: do the box office movies really quick now. We're going
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 8: to do some Halloween fun facts. All right, so after
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 8: the box office ones, that's when we're going to go
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 8: over the top 20 Halloween fun facts. We do this
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 8: for Thanksgiving. We do it for Christmas. We do it
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 8: for New Year's. We're going to have some fun with it.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 8: So here we go. Let's see. The number 10 movie
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 8: in the box office last weekend was Verity. It did
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 8: a weekend gross of $ 3. 1 million, $ 72 million total gross
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 8: in four weeks. Number nine was Whale Fall. Never heard
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 8: of it. Did a weekend gross of $ 3. 1 million. It
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 8: did a total gross of $ 14 million in two weeks out.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 8: Sense and Sensibility did a weekend gross of $ 3. 3 million.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 8: $ 14 million total gross in two weeks. Other Mommy did $ 3. 9 million.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 8: $ 52 million total gross in three weeks out. BTS World
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 8: Tour airing in Buenos Aires. Live viewing. That's pretty cool.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 8: It did 4.5 million weekend gross in one week. Let's see.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 8: Number five was Wicker. It did 5.7 million weekend gross, 6.4
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 8: million total gross in its first week. In its second
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 8: week out, wow, number four, Street Fighter. 8.6 weekend gross,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 8: 48 million total gross in two weeks. Kind of a
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 8: big drop-off, if you think about it. That was a
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 8: very big drop-off. I think Street Fighter is going to
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 8: be coming to a TV screen near you in the
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 8: next couple of weeks. Let's see, number three, Wildwood. Weekend
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 8: gross of 12 million, total gross of 12 million in
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 8: one week. Number two is You Can See Everything, a
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 8: weekend gross of $ 20 million, $ 45 million total gross in
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 8: two weeks. And the number one movie at the box
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 8: office was Clayface. It did $ 24 million weekend gross, $ 26
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 8: million total gross in its first week. So pretty crazy.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 8: Nothing really that great at the movies right now. Nothing
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 8: to write home about. I know we got like Little Fockers,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 8: or not Little Fockers. We got Focker and Law coming
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 8: out in November. There's a few big ones coming out.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 8: We'll go over those next week. I've got a list
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 8: of movies that are coming out in the next couple
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 8: of years. So we'll talk about that next week. Let's
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 8: go in to our fun facts about Halloween. Alright, so
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 8: here we go. 20 fun facts about Halloween. Some you
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 8: might know, some you might not. So let's go over
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 8: these and see who does. Alright, number 20. Some Halloween
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 8: rituals used to be geared towards finding a husband. During
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 8: the 18th century, single ladies devised Halloween traditions that were
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 8: supposed to help them meet their romantic match. Women used
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 8: to throw apple peels over their shoulders, hoping to see
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 8: their future husband's initials. and the pattern they made when
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 8: they landed. When bobbing for apples at parties, the winner
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 8: would supposedly marry first. And most spookily, they even used
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 8: to stand in a dark room holding a candle in
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 8: front of a mirror to look for their future husband's
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 8: face to appear in the glass. Bloody Mary who? Number 19,
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 8: trick-or-treating has existed since medieval times. That's crazy. Taking candy
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 8: from strangers one night a year and one night only
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 8: isn't a new or uniquely American tradition. It was once
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 8: known as guising in Scotland and Ireland. Young people dressed
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 8: up in costumes and went door to door looking for
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 8: food or money in exchange for performing songs, poems, or
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 8: other tricks. Today, the tradition has morphed into children getting
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 8: dressed up and asking for candy. Hardly anyone sings for
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 8: their mini Snickers these days. but a simple thank you
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 8: will go a long way. Number 18, the holiday dates
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 8: back more than 2,000 years. Halloween is even older than
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 8: Christianity itself. It all started as a pre-Christian Celtic festival
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 8: called Saint Han, which means summer's end. Held in the
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 8: beginning of November, the feast recognized the last day of
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 8: the fall harvest and spirits crossing over. Since they believed
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 8: the veil between the living and spirit world grew thinnest
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 8: at that time. Wow, that's pretty crazy. Number 17, some
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 8: pretty famous people were born on Halloween. And we talked
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 8: about that already. Willow Smith, Rob Schneider, and Vanilla Ice
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 8: were all born on October 31st. So was John Candy.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 8: And it's funny because his last name was Candy. Let's see,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 8: number 16. There's a reason black and orange are the
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 8: colors most associated with Halloween. The Library of Congress reports
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 8: that the colors of black and orange trace back to
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 8: the Celtic festival of St. Hain, a Gaelic festival. We
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 8: talked about that. But yeah, so that's why people use
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 8: the origin black. Number 15, trick-or-treat was not necessarily the
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 8: original phrase. Children would shout out to receive candy. Instead,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 8: kids would allegedly yell, bells nickel. That's funny. Bell's Nickling,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 8: a German-American Christmas tradition where kids dressed in costumes and
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 8: went around to their neighbors to see if they could
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 8: guess the identity of those dressed up. In some versions,
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 8: if the adult couldn't accurately guess, the children were rewarded
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 8: with treats and goodies. Sounds like kind of a fun
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 8: game to play on Halloween. One in five adults, number 14,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 8: one in five adults usually pretends not to be home
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 8: on Halloween. A 2021 poll found that about 1 in
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 8: 5 adults, or 21%, keep the porch lights off and
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 8: pretend not to be home when the trigger treaters come knocking.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 8: Number 13. There's a city in South Carolina that renamed
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 8: itself Halloween. A newspaper published in Columbia, South Carolina back
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 8: in 22, a city in Horry County called Conway, announced
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 8: that for the month of October they would be renaming
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 8: the city to Halloween in an effort to boost tourism
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 8: and economic development during the fall season. That's pretty cool.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 8: I like that. Number 12. Jason Voorhees from Friday the
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 8: 13th really did drown in the lake, kind of. The
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 8: villainous serial killer from the infamous Friday the 13th franchise
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 8: remains at the bottom of a Minnesota lake in Statue form.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 8: Diver Doug Klein constructed a Jason Voorhees statue, mask and all,
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 8: made of plywood, bubble wrap, and foam, and had it
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 8: placed 120 feet down in the water-filled mine pit known
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 8: as Louise near Crosby, Minnesota. It's only able to be
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 8: seen by the most advanced divers. That's pretty cool. Number 11.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 8: If you want to keep spooky spirits away, salt should
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 8: do the trick. If you watch any supernatural shows, you
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 8: might notice that some characters use salt as a way
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 8: to protect themselves against frightening spirits. And there's a pretty
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 8: good reason why. Some say that salt acts as a
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 8: protective shield against spirits, evil spirits and entities. Hmm. That's
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 8: pretty interesting. Number 10. Most parents admit to stealing some
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 8: of their children's Halloween candy. They needed a poll for that.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 8: They've been doing that since I was a kid. Number nine,
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 8: Americans spend a ton of money on Halloween costumes for
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 8: their pets. We love Halloween costumes for pets, and apparently
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 8: we're not alone. According to the National Retail Federation, Americans
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 8: are projected to spend $ 0. 92 billion on pet costumes in 2026.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 8: That's crazy. Number eight, Mamie Eisenhower was the first person
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 8: to decorate the White House for Halloween. In 1958, First
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 8: Lady Mamie Eisenhower decorated the White House for Halloween for
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 8: the first time with skeletons hanging from the wall lights,
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 8: yellow jack-o'-lanterns, dried corn, black cats, and goblins, among other decor.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 8: Many of the White House's other occupants have continued the
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 8: tradition of decorating the home for Halloween. Number seven, the
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 8: next time there will be a full moon on Halloween
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 8: will be 2039. A full moon on Halloween is a
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 8: fairly rare occurrence happening every 18 or 19 years. Last
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 8: Halloween full moon was in 2020. We can expect the
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 8: next one on October 31st, 2039. So if I'm alive
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 8: to see that, what is that, 14 more years? I'll
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 8: still be, I won't even be 60 yet, but we'll see.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 8: If I'm still alive, I definitely want to check that out. Six,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 8: most of the canned pumpkin in the world is produced
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 8: by one company in Illinois. Most pumpkin recipes like pumpkin soup,
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 8: pumpkin pie, and pumpkin muffins, to name a few, are
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 8: made using canned pumpkin. And almost all of the canned
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 8: pumpkin comes from the Libby's Pumpkin Canning Plant in Morton, Illinois.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 8: The facility produces over 85% of the world's canned pumpkin.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 8: Number five, 38% of Americans believe that ghosts exist. It's
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 8: not really a shocker. The poll found that 41% of
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 8: Americans believe that ghosts exist. About as many, 43%, believe
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 8: that demons exist. 36% believe that other spiritual beings exist. Additionally,
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 8: 6% believe that werewolves exist. And 6% believe that vampires exist.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 8: Number four, the record for most pumpkins smashed in one
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 8: minute is 52. You don't have to grow a 2,800-pound
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 8: pumpkin to be a world record breaker. You just have
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 8: to smash a ton of pumpkins. The Guinness World Records
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 8: is currently held at 52 pumpkins smashed in one minute,
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 8: a feat that was accomplished separately by two different contenders
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 8: in 2020. The record for the world's heaviest pumpkin is
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 8: over 3,000 pounds. A new record was set for the
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 8: heaviest pumpkin in October 2026 when Ron Wallace presented a
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 8: pumpkin weighing 3,156 pounds. It was the first ever pumpkin
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 8: and indeed any fruit to weigh in over 3,000 pounds.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 8: That's crazy. Number two, a lot of people should know this.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 8: A pumpkin is actually a fruit, not a vegetable. While
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 8: most people might guess that those fruits autumnal orange gourds
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 8: are vegetables, pumpkins are actually considered fruit. It's technically a
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 8: fruit because anything that starts from a single flower, as
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 8: a pumpkin does, is classified botanically as a simple fruit.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 8: And the number one fun fact to Halloween? Nearly one
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 8: quarter of Americans say Halloween is their favorite holiday. Is
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 8: spooky season your favorite time of year? You're far from alone.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 8: According to a 2021 YouGov poll, 23% of Americans say
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 8: Halloween is their favorite holiday. More women than men say this.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 8: 26% to 19%. And they're right, because Halloween is my
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 8: number one holiday. I love Halloween, and Christmas is number two.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 8: So that's it. That is it. I hope everybody has
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 8: a very fun Halloween. But more importantly, I hope that...
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 8: Everybody goes out and votes because by the time I
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 8: record next week's show, in fact, I might record it
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 8: Monday or Wednesday next week. I haven't decided because I
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 8: want to watch all the voting stuff. I am not
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 8: a political show with this. If you want to see
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 8: any of my politics stuff, you can go to my TikTok, Facebook,
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 8: and Instagram pages. and maybe even my YouTube. But honestly,
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 8: my number one thing is just get out there and vote.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 8: Because you have the power to change everything into the
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 8: direction you want it to go. Whether you're a Democrat
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 8: or you're a Republican, if you want change, only one
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 8: person can make that change, and that's you. You can
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 8: go out there, you can vote for what you believe in,
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 8: I will never on a show like this tell people who,
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 8: where to vote or how to vote. Like, you do
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 8: it your way. Wherever you want to do, red or blue.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 8: I'm hoping that blue wins, but that's just my opinion.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 8: But you can vote how you want. Because in this
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 8: day and age, it takes very little time and effort
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 8: to vote. You can mail-in vote. You can vote the
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 8: day of. You can go early and vote. There's always
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 8: always time to vote. So please, make your vote count.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 8: Make your voice heard. No matter which side of the
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 8: aisle you're on, no matter who you support, no matter
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 8: what changes you want in this world, you have to
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 8: go out there and make it happen. Because for every
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 8: person who says that they won't vote because they don't
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 8: feel Like it matters because their one vote doesn't count.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 8: If too many people said that, then nobody would go
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 8: out and vote. So now may happen. I love you all.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 8: Enjoy your Halloween, whether you're having parties. Make sure you
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 8: watch out. When you're driving, there's going to be kids out.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 8: It's a Saturday. They're going to be trick-or-treating. Watch where
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 8: you're going. Don't run over any kids. Make sure everybody
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 8: stays safe. Don't get behind the wheel if you're drunk.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 8: Call a cab. Get an Uber. Get a Lyft. However
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 8: you need to get home. Phone a friend. A lot
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 8: of big cities are probably going to do free rides
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 8: at night through different things for it because they know
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 8: that a lot of people are going to be out
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 8: partying that night. So make sure you get your way
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 8: around somehow. Do not drink and drive. You don't want
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 8: to take the life of somebody This is the holiday season.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 8: The holiday season starts Saturday with Halloween. We got Halloween,
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 8: we got Thanksgiving, we got Christmas, and we got New Year's.

• 1:17:07
  Speaker 8: want all those children, you want all those parents, you
• 1:17:10

• 1:17:13
  Speaker 8: able to be with their loved ones and talk about

  Speaker 8: Halloween on Thanksgiving. You want the weirdos to go out
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 8: and put their Christmas tree up the day after Thanksgiving.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 8: Or the day after Christmas. The day after Halloween. Boy,
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 8: I'm just like ready to go tonight. But yeah, so
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 8: make sure you guys stay safe out there. I love
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 8: you all. I want you here next week to listen
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 8: to the show. I want you here for more holidays.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 8: Have a good time. Stay safe. Stay healthy. And here's
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 8: one last Halloween song. My favorite and a lot of
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 8: people's favorite. This is Michael Jackson, Thriller Baby. right here
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 8: on the Robbie G Podcast. I love you all. See

• 1:18:25
  Speaker 13: looks you right between the eyes. You're paralyzed, cause this
• 1:18:32

• 1:18:45
