2:01
Speaker 1: every single week, twice a week. Um Madison was a
2:05
Speaker 1: newcomer this year. Welcome to Madison, NFL Network. I love
2:08
Speaker 1: all you guys, so thank you for making this show
2:10
Speaker 1: what it is. Um. I realized last week I came
2:13
Speaker 1: in hot on on Friday's show and I was like,
2:16
Speaker 1: I'm going to see Brad Pitt. I'll tell you guys
2:18
Speaker 1: everything that happened on Monday. And then we took the
2:20
Speaker 1: day off. So, guys, Brad Pitt's in love with me.
2:24
Speaker 1: I just I've been sitting on that egg all week.
2:27
Speaker 1: He's not. I was actually told by my friend who
2:29
Speaker 1: invited me to stop staring at him, and I had
2:32
Speaker 1: to be escorted to the other side of the room.
2:34
Speaker 1: Did you approach Jenny Celebs? I didn't know I was standing.
2:39
Speaker 1: We saw me and my girlfriend saw Olivia Wilde, so
2:42
Speaker 1: we were like, okay, we need to be in her
2:44
Speaker 1: vicinity and we just were just like hocus Pocus, were
2:47
Speaker 1: like like just trying to suck up all of her
2:49
Speaker 1: power and influence and creativity. Um. Who else we saw?
2:53
Speaker 1: Everyone saw Marta Robbie saw Brad Pitt. Jean Smart was
2:56
Speaker 1: hanging out. Oh my god, who was the guy who was? Um,
3:00
Speaker 1: Scooter McGavin, What's what'donald him? He was at the Boss.
3:05
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think him and Jean are Are
3:07
Speaker 1: they married? Are they just friends? They're dating? In um
3:10
Speaker 1: Hollywood Reporter buzz together, so they already they were there. Um,
3:19
Speaker 1: Brad Pitt was canoodling with a lady. I don't know
3:22
Speaker 1: who she was. I wish it would be what it wasn't,
3:26
Speaker 1: But no, I was told to stop staring, so I
3:27
Speaker 1: adn't got to see him a little bit. I didn't
3:29
Speaker 1: get to smell him, which is what I really wanted.
3:31
Speaker 1: But the main point why I bring this up, guys,
3:33
Speaker 1: Babylon I cried so many times. I couldn't stop crying afterwards.
3:39
Speaker 1: Maybe I just had a specific experience. But during the
3:42
Speaker 1: holiday season, I know there's a lot of people that
3:44
Speaker 1: like to go and see Christmas movies. That's not something
3:46
Speaker 1: that I do. But go and see Babylon. And you
3:48
Speaker 1: said Avatar too is really good? Yeah, I liked it. Yeah, Like,
3:52
Speaker 1: what is with people? We get it three hours out
3:57
Speaker 1: of here? What's the maxim movie should be? I'm two
4:00
Speaker 1: hours and you better be blowing my socks off. Like,
4:07
Speaker 1: if it's end Game, you can be too thirty. She
4:09
Speaker 1: doesn't she knew it was Marvel though. That was pretty good. Whatever,
4:16
Speaker 1: credit to you. Okay, I need to go see Avatar
4:19
Speaker 1: two because this is Yeah, you have to see it
4:21
Speaker 1: in three D. Let me ask you this. Avatar one
4:25
Speaker 1: blew our minds. Like visually, I was like, I'm seeing
4:28
Speaker 1: things that I've never seen before. And guys will get
4:30
Speaker 1: to the football in a second, but this is important stuff.
4:32
Speaker 1: I'm seeing things that I've never seen in my life.
4:34
Speaker 1: Is it the same same? Like? Is he breaking barriers?
4:37
Speaker 1: For sure? And and I think the plot in two
4:39
Speaker 1: is better than one. Well, the plot in one is
4:41
Speaker 1: pretty like it's like the pot in two is better
4:47
Speaker 1: than in one. And the visuals are just Okay, there's
4:50
Speaker 1: your bench tips of the of the year where a
4:54
Speaker 1: movie podcast. Now, um, okay, we're going to continue this
4:57
Speaker 1: gift giving. I know lot of people saw this online
5:01
Speaker 1: on Twitter. This is my favorite time of year when
5:05
Speaker 1: all of these posts start to come out of quarterbacks
5:07
Speaker 1: giving their old alignman. They're like big present at the
5:11
Speaker 1: end of the year, thank you for protecting me. I'm
5:14
Speaker 1: going to give you something in return. And it's always
5:16
Speaker 1: so lavish and always ridiculous. You're like, oh my god,
5:19
Speaker 1: these guys are so lucky. So we're gonna go through those,
5:21
Speaker 1: and then I dug up some from the past that
5:23
Speaker 1: are equally crazy, and let's just decide what the best
5:26
Speaker 1: gift is. Okay, so let's go through some of these.
5:28
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams were kicking it off. Amazing gift. He gave
5:32
Speaker 1: everyone custom robes with his face on them, which is amazing.
5:39
Speaker 1: He got his entire offense uh players and coaches custom
5:42
Speaker 1: robes and images of him flexing as a veteran gift,
5:45
Speaker 1: and Jonah Jackson said, you know they're comfortable. I will
5:49
Speaker 1: not be wearing these again, but hey, if Jamal Williams
5:52
Speaker 1: wants to send us some, I will happily wear them
5:54
Speaker 1: on the pod every single day for the rest of
5:55
Speaker 1: the year. Okay, So that's number one. Patrick mahomes See
6:00
Speaker 1: seemingly looks like he got his entire team golf clubs. Like,
6:04
Speaker 1: there's a lot of clubs here. I don't know who
6:06
Speaker 1: he was giving them too, but he there was a
6:09
Speaker 1: bunch of clubs in the picture. I saw. It was
6:11
Speaker 1: his offensive line. How many offensive linemen are on the cheese? Hey,
6:15
Speaker 1: you gotta protect that money. Oh my goodness, look at
6:20
Speaker 1: that tailor mate chout outs. Okay, um, this next one
6:25
Speaker 1: is a little bit crazy and I disagree with it.
6:27
Speaker 1: And we're going to talk about this later on in
6:28
Speaker 1: the show, because I really want to get into this.
6:30
Speaker 1: Both Josh Allen and Zach Wilson gave their o lineman
6:38
Speaker 1: mo pets scooters. I don't know what you want to
6:41
Speaker 1: call him about their danger Russ what are we doing here? Okay,
6:45
Speaker 1: those don't look as sketchy as the ones that Zach
6:47
Speaker 1: Wilson got his team. By the way, they live in
6:49
Speaker 1: New York. What are we doing here? But they got
6:52
Speaker 1: them scooters. I'd be like, bro, what are we doing here? Also,
6:56
Speaker 1: this is the cringest video I think I've seen all year,
6:58
Speaker 1: is Zach Wilson just being like, Yeah, what are those
7:03
Speaker 1: those mopeds? They look like mopeds? Good? They look dangerous.
7:11
Speaker 1: I said mopeds at the Zach Wilson and Motorcycles earlier.
7:15
Speaker 1: I didn't mean it. I didn't say it. Mohn stole
7:18
Speaker 1: my Twitter and tweeted it, actually, but dangerous like people
7:22
Speaker 1: are like people are. Do you guys remember a couple
7:24
Speaker 1: of years ago when uh Patrick Mahomes is playing basketball
7:27
Speaker 1: and everyone was just like, why are you playing more?
7:31
Speaker 1: You have your people that are protecting you ripping around
7:34
Speaker 1: a little mopeds? No chance? Um. I think one of
7:39
Speaker 1: my favorites this season is Jared Goff. He got a
7:41
Speaker 1: bunch of different things for his guys. He got Louis
7:44
Speaker 1: Baton bag, which is pricey, he got an a t V,
7:47
Speaker 1: he got a very fancy wash, and he just like
7:50
Speaker 1: let them pick their own gifts, although I feel like
7:53
Speaker 1: that's caused for drama, like people would start getting into fights.
7:56
Speaker 1: I can't participate in a white elephant, I can't participate
7:59
Speaker 1: in the santas eel. Feelings are getting hurt. I'm going
8:02
Speaker 1: for the I'm going for the heart. Okay in those games. Uh,
8:06
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones and se Quan, guys, what are we doing?
8:08
Speaker 1: You got everyone's suits and shoes? Come on, and I
8:14
Speaker 1: feel like everyone has their own style, and what are
8:16
Speaker 1: we doing? I think they get to like go and
8:18
Speaker 1: pick out their own style. And I get it. These
8:19
Speaker 1: are like big men, so it's probably difficult to find
8:22
Speaker 1: a suit. But like, I don't know, that's a little
8:25
Speaker 1: I want a cool watch man. I want a Louie bag.
8:28
Speaker 1: I want to stroll in. Did you see Jason Kelsey
8:30
Speaker 1: strolling in with his Louie bag and flip flops the game?
8:33
Speaker 1: That's a video, I thought, tonight. Uh, and then Jalen
8:36
Speaker 1: heard speaking of got everyone Louis Vuitton begs because that's
8:39
Speaker 1: what you do. You get your boys looking good. Oh
8:42
Speaker 1: and then you got the quarterback rooms a bunch of Jay's. Okay,
8:44
Speaker 1: So I wanted a deep dive. I wanted to go
8:46
Speaker 1: back in time and see what are like some of
8:47
Speaker 1: the craziest gifts that we have heard of in the past,
8:50
Speaker 1: and I've got I'm just gonna rhyme a bunch out um.
8:53
Speaker 1: Jason Kelsey on the New Heights podcast. I believe told
8:55
Speaker 1: everyone that Carson Wins when he was on the Eagles,
8:57
Speaker 1: got them all shotguns and took them shooting, and the
9:04
Speaker 1: talk about dangerous what are we doing here? Yeah, I
9:08
Speaker 1: forget about mopeds. You're just straight up buying them guns.
9:12
Speaker 1: And then I remember, I think last year, I don't
9:13
Speaker 1: know if it was for Christmas, but he got everyone
9:15
Speaker 1: coolers with like tomahawks steaks in it. So he is
9:18
Speaker 1: reeling it back in. He's like, Okay, the shotguns were
9:21
Speaker 1: probably a bit much. Let me get everyone a yelly
9:23
Speaker 1: YETI cooler. Um. Adrian Peterson, I don't know if this
9:26
Speaker 1: was for Christmas, but he did give everyone after I
9:29
Speaker 1: think he won m v P the one season got
9:32
Speaker 1: everyone's snowmobiles. I guess I used to have a snowmobile
9:37
Speaker 1: parking lot at my high school, which really shows you
9:41
Speaker 1: where I'm from. Okay, back in sixteen, Joe Flacco gave
9:45
Speaker 1: the Art Systems, which I'm sure we're sussed back in
9:49
Speaker 1: just like a flat screen. No Avatar too, okay, Um,
9:53
Speaker 1: Jared Goffent Todd Gurley combined to give these like supercards.
9:56
Speaker 1: I don't even know what they are, but they're like
9:58
Speaker 1: souped up golf hearts. Uh. Tom Brady gave out a
10:02
Speaker 1: couple of outies in his day. But here's the ones
10:06
Speaker 1: that I want to really dissect. And at first glance,
10:09
Speaker 1: one of them seems terrible and the other one's just
10:12
Speaker 1: straight up bad. The Manning brothers, what are y'all doing
10:15
Speaker 1: around Christmas? One? You're Eli man and gifted his old
10:18
Speaker 1: Lineman custom jeans. We think suits are bad. Custom jeans.
10:24
Speaker 1: I get it. These guys are big boys. But like, no,
10:27
Speaker 1: I could go and get custom jeans, no problem. I
10:30
Speaker 1: want to fancy watch. I'll take a shotgun. Okay, I'll
10:33
Speaker 1: take a day out on the shooting range with my boys.
10:36
Speaker 1: How do you custom jeans? Come on? Also, when you
10:40
Speaker 1: say custom jeans, it makes me feel like they're bedazzled,
10:43
Speaker 1: Like it makes me feel like they've got some flare
10:44
Speaker 1: to them. Yeah, like just giants on the butt. Maybe
10:52
Speaker 1: I'm back and also rude if giants on the butt,
10:54
Speaker 1: I don't know how I feel about that, okay, And
10:56
Speaker 1: then I wanted to hear what you guys think about this,
10:58
Speaker 1: because at first I was like, wait, doing Peyton Payton,
11:02
Speaker 1: I guess wrote these handwritten letters to not only like
11:05
Speaker 1: around Christmas, but two guys that he played when they
11:08
Speaker 1: retired that he played with, Guys that he played against.
11:12
Speaker 1: He would write them these hand written letters. And at
11:15
Speaker 1: first I was like, at the time, you're probably like, oh,
11:17
Speaker 1: cool letter from Peyton Manning. But like now I feel
11:20
Speaker 1: like if you're a retired NFL player and like let's
11:23
Speaker 1: say you like sacked him or intercepted him, or like
11:26
Speaker 1: you played with him at one point and you have
11:29
Speaker 1: a handwritten letter from Peyton Manning, like that's pretty big time, right,
11:34
Speaker 1: especially like you know, Tom Brady was up in arms
11:36
Speaker 1: about somebody like asking for an autograph on an intercepted
11:39
Speaker 1: ball a couple of weeks ago. I think that that's
11:42
Speaker 1: really nice. He kind of goes above and beyond, and
11:44
Speaker 1: you actually put thought into it, like sweat my credit
11:47
Speaker 1: card and here you go. I think the handwritten notes
11:50
Speaker 1: the way to go, because also, these guys have a
11:52
Speaker 1: ton of money. They can go and buy their own rolexes.
11:55
Speaker 1: They can go and buy their own bugs, their own mopeds.
11:58
Speaker 1: Can we go back to Zach Wlilson really quick, like
12:01
Speaker 1: is he trying to buy the team's love or something.
12:05
Speaker 1: If I were Zack Wilson's PR person, I'd be like,
12:08
Speaker 1: get your old lineman, you know what you need to
12:11
Speaker 1: get them and like have that's something that quarterbacks have
12:14
Speaker 1: to do. You need to go and ball out whatever.
12:17
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a publicity stunt, whatever you need to do.
12:20
Speaker 1: You need to spend money on that defense. Get something
12:24
Speaker 1: for every single guy, right or if you hante the hand,
12:28
Speaker 1: write them a know or save your money, Zach Wilson,
12:31
Speaker 1: because I don't know, can we put justin in jail?
12:38
Speaker 1: It's the Christmas season? Okay? I got the Jets winning tonight,
12:42
Speaker 1: so hopefully when comes out tomorrow, you deserve to be
12:45
Speaker 1: put in jail. But I was thinking about putting you there.
12:48
Speaker 1: Um No, you might be right. But if I were there,
12:51
Speaker 1: if I were them, if I were Zack Wilson, I
12:53
Speaker 1: think I would have spent a decent dollar on the defense.
12:56
Speaker 1: But I don't know. They kind of like ruined his
12:58
Speaker 1: whole image this year, So maybe he's a little cold
13:00
Speaker 1: towards them. Anyways, those are some of my favorite gifts
13:03
Speaker 1: from years past. What I would give for a handwritten
13:06
Speaker 1: letter from Eli Manning and some custom custom giants on
13:09
Speaker 1: the bum jeans from Eli. Did I say that right?
13:13
Speaker 1: Painted in the handwritten Yeah? Okay, guys, after the break,
13:17
Speaker 1: we are picking some games this week. We're getting there.
13:21
Speaker 1: We are almost finito of the regular season, so don't
13:24
Speaker 1: go any about We'll get to Okay. I first to
13:41
Speaker 1: mention one of the craziest ones, and it wasn't a
13:43
Speaker 1: Christmas gift, but Russell Wilson when he signed his big contract,
13:46
Speaker 1: you know, when he was in bed with cr and
13:48
Speaker 1: he had that really weird video and everyone made everyone
13:50
Speaker 1: really had after all, he gifted his old Lineman twelve
13:53
Speaker 1: thousand dollars in Amazon stock and that was back in
13:58
Speaker 1: and he said this whole thing like, I could get
13:59
Speaker 1: you the watches, I can get you these cool gifts,
14:01
Speaker 1: but I want to give you something that's gonna last lifetime.
14:03
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that? Like now, but ten years from
14:06
Speaker 1: now when Amazon, oh, the entire world thank you, Russell Wilson,
14:10
Speaker 1: maybe the best gift giver of all. Yeah, I think
14:12
Speaker 1: we we gave Russell Wilson a little too much, you know,
14:15
Speaker 1: teasing on every media platform because it's easy for Christmas.
14:20
Speaker 1: I just hope Russell realizes that it's too easy and
14:24
Speaker 1: we will not like him. He's just made it too easy.
14:28
Speaker 1: Low hanging fruit. Okay, let's get to these picks. Updated
14:31
Speaker 1: standings met thirty and one, Mohan and one and right.
14:38
Speaker 1: You you gotta make some moves, my friend and one.
14:44
Speaker 1: You guys got to communicate before him. You you just
14:47
Speaker 1: gotta go the other way to make some moves. We
14:49
Speaker 1: both went five and oh last week, which is great
14:51
Speaker 1: for you, Mohan, but didn't gain any ground. I'm waiting
14:53
Speaker 1: for you to to lose mistake. This is going all
14:57
Speaker 1: the way. Okay we need to Yeah, for sure, we
14:59
Speaker 1: need to are picking all the games that we can
15:01
Speaker 1: make up some ground. I think, oh, ky dunkey. We
15:04
Speaker 1: are starting with Giants at Vikings. Vikings are favored by
15:08
Speaker 1: three and a half. Here is something that I've been
15:10
Speaker 1: thinking about all week, and you guys tell me if
15:12
Speaker 1: I'm a grinch or not. Everyone's like Vikings rid It's
15:16
Speaker 1: come back of all time. Kirk Cousins is like, I
15:18
Speaker 1: need a minute to process this. I can't believe this
15:21
Speaker 1: is the biggest got back. It's right, guys, you put
15:24
Speaker 1: yourselves into this position. Is this something to really celebrate?
15:28
Speaker 1: I get it, you Kirk Cousins played like a crazy
15:31
Speaker 1: second half and all of that. Yes, yes, you guys
15:34
Speaker 1: put yourself into that position, into that hole that you
15:37
Speaker 1: had to climb out of. Is that really worth celebrating?
15:41
Speaker 1: Am I a grinch? I shouldn't have been in that
15:43
Speaker 1: position to begin with? Your right, I think you gotta
15:46
Speaker 1: give him credit. I heard a story about Patrick Peterson
15:49
Speaker 1: in the locker room at halftime said all we need
15:51
Speaker 1: is five touchdowns offense. We got you on the defense,
15:55
Speaker 1: and he was right. And also the Vikings had two
16:00
Speaker 1: pretty clear defensive touchdowns taken off the board by the
16:03
Speaker 1: refs and they still manage the greatest come back in
16:06
Speaker 1: NFL history. And I know, like, yeah, you shouldn't have
16:09
Speaker 1: been down thirty three zero. But there was some weird
16:11
Speaker 1: fluky stuff going on where they like scored on what
16:13
Speaker 1: do they score on? A blocked punt and a pick
16:16
Speaker 1: six and some other like the Colts got some weird
16:18
Speaker 1: touchdowns early on, so it was like they weren't really
16:21
Speaker 1: out playing the Vikings that bad. Not thirty three nothing bad.
16:25
Speaker 1: I said, I've been on the fence about this, like
16:27
Speaker 1: should I just be like, wow, that was so cool?
16:29
Speaker 1: Like what a fun football game. We're like, why is
16:31
Speaker 1: everyone celebrating this? That was a mess. That was an
16:33
Speaker 1: absolute mass. But I got it. Okay, I'm a branch,
16:35
Speaker 1: I get it. But I am picking the Vikings, but
16:38
Speaker 1: I'm picking the Giants to keep it close. I have
16:40
Speaker 1: Vikings twenty seven and twenty four. I think the Giants
16:43
Speaker 1: they gotta do what the Colts did. They gotta get
16:44
Speaker 1: in there early and stay up early and stay there
16:48
Speaker 1: the whole time. But I ultimately think the Vikings win
16:50
Speaker 1: because the Vikings are pretty good. I kind of agree
16:53
Speaker 1: exactly with that. I think it's like a Vikings by
16:55
Speaker 1: a field goal game. So I'm picking the Giants to
16:57
Speaker 1: cover the three and a half. But both these games
17:00
Speaker 1: playing nothing but close games. It feels like every week NonStop.
17:02
Speaker 1: So if you're a Vikings fan, how have you lived through?
17:05
Speaker 1: They're ten and oh and one score games, and it's
17:08
Speaker 1: so crazy because last season it was like pretty much
17:10
Speaker 1: the opposite. Every single loss was like by one score,
17:12
Speaker 1: and they had a lot more losses last year, so
17:14
Speaker 1: it's very odd. What do you like? I'm also going
17:17
Speaker 1: with the Giants. I think day Will will keep it close. Um.
17:20
Speaker 1: The Vikings point differential this season is plus two, which
17:24
Speaker 1: is insane because they're eleven and three and early in
17:29
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Yeah, they're one. And they also have the
17:32
Speaker 1: biggest the second biggest loss of any team this season,
17:34
Speaker 1: forty to three to the Cowboys. So that kind of
17:38
Speaker 1: excuse the point. Okay, weird. See, maybe I'm not the grinch.
17:43
Speaker 1: Maybe they're fraudulent team and Giants could win that game.
17:46
Speaker 1: I mean I totally think they could. Totally Maybe the
17:49
Speaker 1: Commanders right, uh, not that that's saying much. But next up,
17:54
Speaker 1: Seahawks Chiefs Chiefs favored by ten um. I think that
17:58
Speaker 1: this is too much. I think the Chiefs have really
18:00
Speaker 1: been weird the last few weeks, and so of the
18:03
Speaker 1: Seahawks as well. But Chiefs listen. They beat the Texans
18:06
Speaker 1: thirty to twenty four in over time. The fact that
18:10
Speaker 1: that game even went into overtime is crazy to me.
18:13
Speaker 1: That they beat the Broncos. Patrick Mahomes had what three
18:17
Speaker 1: interceptions in that game alone? Um? Did he have any
18:21
Speaker 1: interceptions against the Texans? No, But that means he's still
18:27
Speaker 1: at eleven interceptions on the season. He had thirteen all
18:30
Speaker 1: season last year alone regular season. So I just feel like, uh,
18:37
Speaker 1: They're just not like this, like steel solid team that
18:41
Speaker 1: they have been in the past. I am still taking
18:43
Speaker 1: them to win, but definitely not by ten. I've got
18:47
Speaker 1: the Chiefs thirty to seven over the Seahawks. Just somebody like,
18:51
Speaker 1: I'm again, I agree with you. I think the Chiefs,
18:53
Speaker 1: like in Patrick mahomes career, the last couple of years especially,
18:57
Speaker 1: they have not been good at covering spreads. They've been
18:59
Speaker 1: great at winning games. But Vegas knows that everyone thinks
19:02
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are good, so they inflate the spread a
19:05
Speaker 1: little bit because they know the money is going to
19:06
Speaker 1: be on Kansas City. So I'm taking the Seahawks as well.
19:09
Speaker 1: I just I don't like this many points. It's too
19:12
Speaker 1: many points in a weird year where it feels like
19:14
Speaker 1: every week it's a bunch of close games. I also
19:16
Speaker 1: feel that there is something to these interceptions, Like I
19:18
Speaker 1: feel like, you know what we love about Patrick Mahomes
19:21
Speaker 1: is he makes these like crazy throws and it's like
19:23
Speaker 1: magic and it's so fun to watch. But like he's
19:26
Speaker 1: being put into that position to make those crazy throws,
19:28
Speaker 1: and this year it's not worked out eleven times and
19:31
Speaker 1: the same as last year, it got a little scrambly
19:33
Speaker 1: as well. So I just feel like they're not like
19:35
Speaker 1: that solid like oh, Patrick Moomes is all the time
19:37
Speaker 1: in the world he has. He's like, it's more crazy scrambly,
19:41
Speaker 1: you know, the magic that we love, but maybe sometimes
19:44
Speaker 1: it doesn't go that way. Well, I'm going to Seahawks
19:46
Speaker 1: as well. You guys are talking to anti Chiefs and Homes.
19:48
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go pro Genomes a pro bowler, a pro bowler.
19:53
Speaker 1: Good for him and Mahomes. Mahomes on Gino said, every
19:57
Speaker 1: throw he throws is a perfect spiral, which is sin.
20:03
Speaker 1: You love to see it. Justice for Gino this year.
20:07
Speaker 1: I really love to see that so much. Good for him,
20:10
Speaker 1: Good for him. There was a TikTok about Geno Smith
20:12
Speaker 1: that made me cry last week. Wow, I'll show you
20:14
Speaker 1: guys later. Um okay. Up next, we got Eagles at Cowboys,
20:17
Speaker 1: which is hella interesting, Okay, the rivalry between these two teams.
20:22
Speaker 1: And then we've got one of my favorites, Gardener Minshew.
20:25
Speaker 1: I couldn't even say his name without laughing that man
20:29
Speaker 1: right there, Uncle Coreco it's playing cornback. Let's go Jalen Hurts.
20:36
Speaker 1: I hope quick recovery. You know we love Jalen Hurts
20:39
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. But man, when Minshew mania fires
20:42
Speaker 1: back up, let off the cannons. Baby. I love Gardner
20:47
Speaker 1: Minshew so much. I'm not getting crazy. I still got
20:49
Speaker 1: the Cowboys winning this one because who knows what this
20:52
Speaker 1: guy's gonna look like. But I have a fun game
20:54
Speaker 1: for fun purposes thirty to seven. I think that if
20:57
Speaker 1: the Eagles pull this off, wouldn't that just be so
21:00
Speaker 1: to Christmas miracle? Wouldn't that be so fun? I think
21:02
Speaker 1: they can. I mean, do you know what Gardner Minshew
21:06
Speaker 1: has been doing this week? I don't know, eating eggs
21:08
Speaker 1: raw so um. Rest in peace the Great Mike Leach.
21:14
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew's college coach passed away a couple of weeks ago,
21:18
Speaker 1: and Gardner Minshew was at the funeral giving a eulogy
21:23
Speaker 1: to his college coach, Mike Leach. I think he is
21:26
Speaker 1: going to ball out this week. He gets to honor
21:30
Speaker 1: his his college coach with this start. I mean totally
21:34
Speaker 1: happenstance that he gets to play this week. The week
21:36
Speaker 1: of that eulogy. But I think this is gonna be
21:40
Speaker 1: an epic Gardner Minshew game. You know what I'm changing
21:43
Speaker 1: my past? Well, I think you had them Puss four
21:47
Speaker 1: and a half. They're winning this game out right. Yeah,
21:51
Speaker 1: wouldn't that be so fun? Do you guys remember last
21:52
Speaker 1: year when he came in and his dad, he had
21:54
Speaker 1: that beautiful moment with his dad outside and then he
21:56
Speaker 1: had this crazy like leather jacket like top of the
22:00
Speaker 1: ridiculous from me, this beautiful moment with his dad outside.
22:03
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I just want this guy to win.
22:06
Speaker 1: I'm going to Cowboys. Uh, it's a must win for
22:08
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. You can't. There's no excuse. At home. You're
22:11
Speaker 1: going against a backup quarterback. And if they lose the
22:15
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew, they're never going to hear that. But the
22:17
Speaker 1: other thing about this, and I don't want to, I
22:20
Speaker 1: don't want to take away from Jalen Hurts in the
22:22
Speaker 1: amazing season he's having. But this Eagles team is so
22:25
Speaker 1: good in every aspect. Every position group is like a strength.
22:30
Speaker 1: So as well as Jalen Hurts has done this year, Like,
22:33
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's that big of a drop off.
22:35
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a drop off because
22:37
Speaker 1: Hurts can run, they have the option, and then she
22:39
Speaker 1: can't run, so that so that might compromise Sanders. I
22:42
Speaker 1: don't know, but you might be right, Graver, and we
22:44
Speaker 1: might be heading into the playoffs being more like this
22:46
Speaker 1: is such a solid team from front to back because
22:49
Speaker 1: look at what they did with Gardner Minshew a couple
22:51
Speaker 1: of weeks, right, and this could hurt Jalen Hurts m
22:53
Speaker 1: v P Kase when it shows that he's not necessarily
22:55
Speaker 1: the most valuable player compared to someone like if you
22:59
Speaker 1: took Patrick my Homes out of the Chiefs, what even
23:01
Speaker 1: are they? Yeah? Man, as much as I like would
23:04
Speaker 1: like to not work this weekend because it's Christmas, I'm
23:06
Speaker 1: fired up for these games. Baby. I can't wait to
23:09
Speaker 1: come to work on Saturday and Sunday. It's gonna be
23:11
Speaker 1: so much fun. Okay. And then finally we've got Packers
23:14
Speaker 1: at Dolphins. Dolphins favored by three and a half. Um,
23:18
Speaker 1: you know I'm gonna go Dolphins here. I'm going Dolphinstour
23:22
Speaker 1: covering it by a little bit. They're back in Miami. Listen,
23:25
Speaker 1: they the way that they played in Buffalo listen. I
23:29
Speaker 1: know that Josh Allen was just like cold is cold.
23:31
Speaker 1: Everyone feels the cold, but then when you get listen,
23:35
Speaker 1: I am such a baby when I go home now
23:38
Speaker 1: to the cold weather, like when you get used to
23:40
Speaker 1: a certain climate. I think what they did in Buffalo
23:42
Speaker 1: was like a pretty impressive feat people throwing snowballs, like
23:47
Speaker 1: what are we doing here, and the fact that they
23:49
Speaker 1: put up that big of a fight in that climate
23:52
Speaker 1: against a really incredible team. Packers are not coming anywhere
23:56
Speaker 1: near them. I'm sorry, it's just not happening. The Packers
23:59
Speaker 1: beat the Rams, Okay, cool, everyone else could probably do
24:02
Speaker 1: that too. We still love the Baker. I'm going Dolphins here,
24:06
Speaker 1: justin what do you what do you like? I am
24:08
Speaker 1: also taking the Dolphins to cover. This is a really
24:10
Speaker 1: interesting game to me because the Dolphins have lost three
24:13
Speaker 1: straight and I really don't they were kind of in
24:15
Speaker 1: all of those games. Yeah they were, and I mean
24:17
Speaker 1: they had an eight point lead in the fourth quarter
24:19
Speaker 1: in Buffalo and they and they let it that one
24:21
Speaker 1: get away. But the Packers have also you know, they're
24:24
Speaker 1: trying to do that run the table thing where the
24:26
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers wants to like make the playoffs for his
24:28
Speaker 1: last I don't know if this is his last year
24:31
Speaker 1: in in Green Bay, but it could be, so you know,
24:32
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to give up easily, so this could
24:35
Speaker 1: be a fun game. But I just feel like the
24:36
Speaker 1: Dolphins have been looking for that get right week and
24:41
Speaker 1: it's coming soon, and it could be this week and
24:43
Speaker 1: they could put up like forty points on the Packers. Obviously,
24:47
Speaker 1: to his concussion is so brutal on like so many levels,
24:51
Speaker 1: but like it really bums me out because this season
24:53
Speaker 1: could have been so much different. Like I feel like
24:55
Speaker 1: the latter half of the season, they could have just
24:57
Speaker 1: continued to be so strong and so dominant, and that
25:00
Speaker 1: really just like kind of bumped me out. I like
25:04
Speaker 1: the Dolphins to um And speaking of Pro Bowls too,
25:08
Speaker 1: didn't make the Pro Bowl even though he led the
25:11
Speaker 1: fan vote, so that means the players and coaches didn't
25:13
Speaker 1: vote him. Granted, Mahomes, Allen, and Burrow we are better
25:18
Speaker 1: and they can only pick three and they deserve it.
25:20
Speaker 1: They deserve it. But that being said, and also to
25:22
Speaker 1: Rachel's point, if he played the whole season, he might
25:25
Speaker 1: also just like a career of being slighted and and
25:27
Speaker 1: it's like worked with him, Like, I don't really don't think.
25:29
Speaker 1: Can someone explain the point of the fan votes if
25:32
Speaker 1: the top vote get or doesn't even make it like
25:35
Speaker 1: they didn't carry enough to me, he's fired up. I've
25:38
Speaker 1: never seen himself fired I don't know. I think it
25:39
Speaker 1: just like probably makes the player feel like I'm sure too.
25:42
Speaker 1: It was like, wow, that was really cool. Yeah, but
25:45
Speaker 1: it probably made him feel really good. It probably would
25:46
Speaker 1: have felt better if he got in. They'll be motivated, motivation,
25:53
Speaker 1: it's not balanced correctly, Mike McDaniel, get him motivated in
25:57
Speaker 1: the right way. That's true. I like it, that's true.
25:59
Speaker 1: You know, he will wish what I wish. If I
26:05
Speaker 1: could just like sit down and just be on a
26:07
Speaker 1: be the waiter to Tuah and and Mike mc daniel
26:10
Speaker 1: having dinner, Just be the waiter, just hey, is your
26:13
Speaker 1: food okay? Everything's good? Yeah? No, okay, you're having fun?
26:15
Speaker 1: You like that steak? Okay? I love it, And just
26:17
Speaker 1: like kind of just like be folding napkins over here
26:19
Speaker 1: and just listening to everything that they're saying. God, wouldn't
26:23
Speaker 1: that be fun? Wouldn't that be fun? Okay? That is
26:25
Speaker 1: our picks? Best of luck, to everybody going into this
26:29
Speaker 1: week coming up after the break, the best and the
26:30
Speaker 1: worst thing that I saw. Zach Wilson's involved in the
26:33
Speaker 1: worst and he always will be. Billion of time. Don't
26:36
Speaker 1: go anywhere, guys. I'm so disappointed to say this on
26:51
Speaker 1: this podcast, but everyone that works on this show apparently
26:55
Speaker 1: calls it bagel. Yeah, said there's bagel. No, it's not
27:00
Speaker 1: definitely bagel. My mom is Jewish. I think I would know. Okay,
27:04
Speaker 1: you don't have to make it feel bad about it.
27:09
Speaker 1: Got all right. In the spirit of getting things wrong,
27:12
Speaker 1: I was just curious. I was thinking about is there
27:15
Speaker 1: a thing or a saying or a lyric that you
27:18
Speaker 1: got like I did wrong, or in your head thought
27:21
Speaker 1: was something else your whole life, like a song or
27:24
Speaker 1: or even like for example, when I was little. I
27:26
Speaker 1: don't know what I was thinking about this. When I
27:27
Speaker 1: was little, I thought drinking and driving meant you can't
27:30
Speaker 1: drink anything while you drive, So like when my dad
27:34
Speaker 1: would take me to school, it would be drinking coffee,
27:37
Speaker 1: and I would like get to school and be like,
27:38
Speaker 1: oh my god, my dad drinks and draft, but I don't.
27:41
Speaker 1: For some reason, I never asked him that, And then
27:42
Speaker 1: I was like old enough to realize, wait a minute,
27:45
Speaker 1: you can you like drinking and driving is something else?
27:47
Speaker 1: But that's a classic. I feel like that's a classic
27:50
Speaker 1: missing misunderstanding. But I'm wondering if you guys had not
27:53
Speaker 1: that specifically, but if there's anything a saying that you
27:59
Speaker 1: thought was one thing? Song? What is it dude looks
28:01
Speaker 1: like a lady? Or is it do it like a lady?
28:05
Speaker 1: Do it like a lady? It's dude looks like which,
28:12
Speaker 1: to be honest, maybe we should change it to that.
28:13
Speaker 1: In I thought that, um, my parents, I want to
28:19
Speaker 1: go see spy kids when I was younger. Fantastic flick.
28:23
Speaker 1: Add that to the movie Rex on this podcast, Um,
28:26
Speaker 1: and I thought that my parents were spies for a while.
28:30
Speaker 1: This maybe isn't a good answer to that question, but
28:32
Speaker 1: this is just what popped into my head. I thought
28:34
Speaker 1: my I convinced myself that my parents were spies, and
28:36
Speaker 1: then I didn't talk to them for a week upon
28:38
Speaker 1: finding out that they were not. And I went into
28:40
Speaker 1: my dad's truck and I was convinced that I was
28:42
Speaker 1: going to be able to find like little gadgets and
28:44
Speaker 1: like little but I was like looking at the events
28:46
Speaker 1: I was like looking at the thing and I was
28:47
Speaker 1: just like, they're not spies, and that is devastating to me.
28:51
Speaker 1: That's the only thing that comes to mind, though. There
28:52
Speaker 1: was did you watch Goosebumps or read Goosebumps? There's one
28:57
Speaker 1: It was don't go in the Basement and it was
28:59
Speaker 1: like a garden thing. I'm gonna batch it. But the dad,
29:02
Speaker 1: real dad was like in the basement and the other
29:05
Speaker 1: dad that was walking around was like the fake dad.
29:07
Speaker 1: I remember that one for they did a they did
29:10
Speaker 1: a video and that was a converted to TV. Yeah,
29:14
Speaker 1: I thought my dad was my dad. This is gonna
29:16
Speaker 1: be so annoying. This is gonna be the kind of
29:18
Speaker 1: thing that we all come up with our answers that
29:20
Speaker 1: like a midnight Tonight like yeah, well maybe I know
29:23
Speaker 1: there's like a hundred things that I misconstrued, but I
29:25
Speaker 1: can't think of any right now. On the spot, I
29:27
Speaker 1: look old. There's justin I feel like you like justin
29:31
Speaker 1: timber Like. But there's a justin timber Like song. I
29:33
Speaker 1: forget the name, but it was, um, I just can't
29:35
Speaker 1: crack crack your code, and I thought it was I
29:37
Speaker 1: just can't catch her cold. I thought it was Minneapolis
29:43
Speaker 1: up until about two years ago. And you also thought
29:45
Speaker 1: Bagel was bag old until about one thirty seconds ago.
29:51
Speaker 1: I remember we were there for the Super Bowl and
29:53
Speaker 1: I was there on a visa shoot and we had
29:55
Speaker 1: this whole crew standing outside and the rain and the
29:57
Speaker 1: cold starting to snow, and all I had to do
30:00
Speaker 1: was like, welcome to Minneapolis, home of the super Bowl.
30:03
Speaker 1: And I just kept on saying welcome to Minnianapolis, Welcome
30:06
Speaker 1: to Minnianapolis. And they were like, just say the name,
30:10
Speaker 1: and I couldn't. I have a friend who thought that
30:13
Speaker 1: you shook me all night long, was you should be
30:17
Speaker 1: all night long? Like you should be all night long. Okay,
30:24
Speaker 1: yours tops the list. That's the most ridiculous thing I've
30:28
Speaker 1: ever heard. Okay, time for best worst. Thank you for that, Mohan,
30:31
Speaker 1: the best thing I saw or heard all week. I'm
30:34
Speaker 1: sure everyone saw this. It was so beautiful. Jeremy Reeves
30:37
Speaker 1: getting name to the Pro Bowl list. Do we have
30:40
Speaker 1: the video? Let's all just have a little cry. Okay,
30:43
Speaker 1: take a look at this Probabowl Special teams. Guy, you're
30:48
Speaker 1: the starter. You already young man, and I know your
30:59
Speaker 1: mom would be proud you wearned a young man who
31:12
Speaker 1: he wouldn't stop. All right, now, you earned it. Like
31:28
Speaker 1: I said, man, I just appreciate you trusting me for you.
31:33
Speaker 1: I know you went to well. I appreciate you. I'm
31:36
Speaker 1: very proud of you. I really am. Not you weren't
31:38
Speaker 1: a young man so sweet? That was viral today and
31:44
Speaker 1: then afterwards I saw this thing and Siciliana tweeted out,
31:48
Speaker 1: you wonder why Jeremy Reeves got emotional when told by
31:51
Speaker 1: riverboat round then he made Pro Bowl. Uh, just just
31:54
Speaker 1: listen to this. I'm not gonna go all the way
31:55
Speaker 1: through it because it's ridiculous. But signed as an undrafted
31:58
Speaker 1: free agent, way sign of the practice squad, released from
32:02
Speaker 1: the practice squad, signed of the practice squad, sign of
32:04
Speaker 1: the active roster squad, waved in sign of the practice squad,
32:07
Speaker 1: and it goes on and on or not. This guy
32:08
Speaker 1: has been through so much all over the map, always
32:12
Speaker 1: with Washington, with Philadelphia. UM. I think that that's why
32:15
Speaker 1: he was getting so much. And I love that his teammate,
32:18
Speaker 1: trust Wade wanted to be in the room so bad.
32:21
Speaker 1: He was like more excited for his teammate to be
32:24
Speaker 1: He also recently lost his mom, which is why Ron
32:27
Speaker 1: Rivere is like, your mom would be so proud. It's
32:29
Speaker 1: a really beautiful moment. It's really good. That's the best
32:31
Speaker 1: thing that I saw all week and probably for the
32:33
Speaker 1: rest of the year. Another good thing that I saw. Guys,
32:35
Speaker 1: what are we doing? Really hard? Left turn? Gronk tweeted
32:38
Speaker 1: saying he's bored. What are we doing? Uh? Gronk says
32:42
Speaker 1: he's bored. You better be coming back with like I
32:46
Speaker 1: want fireworks, I I want everything, I want the biggest
32:51
Speaker 1: Does he go to the box? Where does he go?
32:53
Speaker 1: Does he go back to the Patriots? He might be
32:54
Speaker 1: so bored that he knew if he tweeted this that
32:56
Speaker 1: we would be talking about even if no, Ye, yes,
33:00
Speaker 1: Like Gronk is, I don't think. I don't think Brady
33:03
Speaker 1: wants Mr Brady knows it's over. I mean, played pretty
33:07
Speaker 1: decently well, a bunch of touchdowns. I mean, the Bucks
33:10
Speaker 1: could use all the hell they could get right now,
33:11
Speaker 1: I don't even do anything, and they're still on track
33:14
Speaker 1: to at least make the playoffs and would probably play
33:16
Speaker 1: the Cowboys in the first round. We called this, We
33:19
Speaker 1: called this. We should have brought back the clips from
33:21
Speaker 1: the summer because we're like, oh, he's retiring. But right
33:24
Speaker 1: before the playoffs, Graver, I feel like you said this
33:27
Speaker 1: he's Graver said Brady was going to retire. I did
33:30
Speaker 1: say Brady would retire mid season, which I feel like
33:33
Speaker 1: he was a coin flip away from possibly you said
33:36
Speaker 1: that because you Rachel, you thought it was gonna be
33:38
Speaker 1: like a w W E return, right Gronk, I did
33:41
Speaker 1: say it was okay. And then the final great thing
33:45
Speaker 1: that I saw this week te Higgins. I guess his
33:48
Speaker 1: mom said if the ball touches in your hand, catch it,
33:51
Speaker 1: and then higintend my bad. Mom's right. Get more athletes
33:58
Speaker 1: parents on Twitter. You know, I don't even care if
34:01

34:04
Speaker 1: of the problems, or tee Higgins mom. I want to
