Speaker 1: the week. Graver, do you go big time on Christmas decorations?
1:17
Speaker 1: Do you have a tree up? Do you have lights?
1:19
Speaker 1: Do you have camera? Do you have action? All of
1:20
Speaker 1: those things? Um, I wouldn't say big time, but definitely
1:24
Speaker 1: medium time. We have a tree up now, real tree
1:27
Speaker 1: we got over the weekend. Decorated it with lights and ornaments,
1:31
Speaker 1: very classy style, just like red and gold ornaments, not
1:34
Speaker 1: like all kinds of creamy. So you don't have a
1:35
Speaker 1: choogie tree. See, I think step number one of Christmas.
1:38
Speaker 1: You've got to have a chugogie tree. You've got to.
1:40
Speaker 1: You gotta have some like old ornaments that have like
1:43
Speaker 1: a weird like handprint on them. It's like been just
1:47
Speaker 1: passed down. You don't even know who the handprint belongs to.
1:50
Speaker 1: At this point, are all at my parents house, so
1:52
Speaker 1: we only have like nice looking We have a very
1:55
Speaker 1: classy looking tree, and then we have a couple of
1:57
Speaker 1: little decorations around, but it's not like over the top
2:00
Speaker 1: super web. My mom's at the point in her life
2:04
Speaker 1: that she's like, come and get your crap, and it
2:07
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what it is. Like She's given me like
2:10
Speaker 1: baby keepsakes that like she should probably have like to
2:13
Speaker 1: look back. I'm like, oh, I want to remember my
2:15
Speaker 1: daughter's first words. I don't care. She's like, it's yours now.
2:19
Speaker 1: But I got all of my like really gross Christmas
2:23
Speaker 1: tree decorations. But anyways, so my street it really doesn't
2:26
Speaker 1: pop off with Christmas lights. I went to like South Bay,
2:29
Speaker 1: which if you're not from l A, it's like kind
2:31
Speaker 1: of like a boogier neighborhood. I went down to South
2:33
Speaker 1: Bay yesterday. There's so many beautiful lights everywhere. The houses
2:38
Speaker 1: are all decorated pretty and looking nice. And then I
2:40
Speaker 1: come to my neighborhood and it's like me, except four.
2:44
Speaker 1: There is one house that has just claimed ownership over
2:48
Speaker 1: the entire neighborhood. They're like, Oh, it doesn't matter what
2:51
Speaker 1: you guys are doing, I'm gonna own this. Anyways, they
2:53
Speaker 1: had a ginormous skeleton in their yard for Halloween. And
2:57
Speaker 1: I'm talking this thing was like a base, huge, bigger
3:00
Speaker 1: than the house. Yeah, like would have gone viral on
3:03
Speaker 1: TikTok if somebody had seen it, right um, and it
3:06
Speaker 1: was just like looming in their yard over Halloween. And
3:10
Speaker 1: then now they have dressed that skeleton. Had to have
3:13
Speaker 1: the biggest ladder in the world. To do this, they
3:15
Speaker 1: have dressed that skeleton in a Santa Claus outfit and
3:18
Speaker 1: it is now hanging lights up a palm tree. So
3:22
Speaker 1: I feel like, do I even try at this point
3:25
Speaker 1: before Christmas kind of stuff there? It's actually really neat.
3:28
Speaker 1: I love it, and I love that they've made the
3:29
Speaker 1: transition from Halloween because we were also we were all
3:33
Speaker 1: so impressed with the skeleton, but in actuality they were
3:35
Speaker 1: probably like, I'm not taking that thing down yet, Like,
3:39
Speaker 1: you know how hard it was to get that beast
3:41
Speaker 1: up there. So I don't know. I either got to
3:44
Speaker 1: go full Griswold and like, really, it's like get after
3:47
Speaker 1: this and and stake my claim in the neighborhood, or
3:51
Speaker 1: I just mail it in let them have it. What
3:53
Speaker 1: do you think I should do? How much free time
3:56
Speaker 1: do you have? How's the how's the absolutely zero? At
4:00
Speaker 1: this one? Was the hot tub coming along? The hot
4:03
Speaker 1: tub is almost done? Oh I gotta give you guys
4:06
Speaker 1: an update. Oh man, I meant it. We just had
4:09
Speaker 1: KB on the show, which is coming up very literally
4:11
Speaker 1: any second now, and I didn't tell him about the
4:14
Speaker 1: hot tub. Okay, the hot tub is done, but I
4:17
Speaker 1: have to get the electrical all like suited and booted.
4:23
Speaker 1: She done, baby. If you were just listening to this podcast,
4:26
Speaker 1: you can see this on my Twitter. Um the podcast.
4:28
Speaker 1: The hot tub is built, but I have to get
4:30
Speaker 1: a certified electrician to come and plug that soccer in
4:33
Speaker 1: or else I might go. Okay, let's get to KB.
4:39
Speaker 1: We had a lot of things to talk about, including
4:41
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. He was just released from the Panthers on Monday, um,
4:44
Speaker 1: and of course I have to get his soup takes,
4:46
Speaker 1: which honestly ruined my day, So stay tuned for that. Okay, Kabe,
4:54
Speaker 1: we were just catching up and you told me that
4:55
Speaker 1: you just got your Christmas tree. And I did not
4:57
Speaker 1: think that this was a thing that people still it, um,
5:01
Speaker 1: but you legitimately you went all out. You went to
5:03
Speaker 1: a Christmas tree farm and cut that thing down. So
5:06
Speaker 1: I've got so many questions. Did you bring your own saw? Like?
5:10
Speaker 1: Do you have to bring a chainsaw? Do they provide
5:13
Speaker 1: said saw? Like? What is the what's the breakdown of this? Yeah?
5:17
Speaker 1: You get into the old four wheel drive sleigh and
5:19
Speaker 1: you drive out through the majesty of a winter's morn
5:22
Speaker 1: and there's a saw rack and it sounds like some
5:25
Speaker 1: sort of torture chamber. But once you sign up and
5:28
Speaker 1: sign your life away for the right to go on
5:29
Speaker 1: the farm, there is a saw rack and there's a
5:32
Speaker 1: sense rachel almost like of like bowling shoes or something
5:35
Speaker 1: that's communal work. You want to get a good saw.
5:38
Speaker 1: Like some of the saws have been around for a while,
5:41
Speaker 1: and some of them are like I'll cut that bleeper
5:43
Speaker 1: down right now? Is there like like oh, I feel
5:48
Speaker 1: like I would be looking at the saws being like, hey,
5:50
Speaker 1: which one is not like covered in blood like somebody
5:53
Speaker 1: just having a fatal accident on this farm. Um, well,
5:55
Speaker 1: I'm happy for you got your Christmas tree. It looks insane,
5:58
Speaker 1: It looks ginormous um, but not everything is all cheery
6:02
Speaker 1: and bright over here in the Bonetta household this morning. Okay,
6:05
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people know I've made it
6:07
Speaker 1: very clear on this podcast that I am a fan
6:10
Speaker 1: of a certain person the plays in the NFL under quarterback.
6:13
Speaker 1: His name is Baker Mayfield, and he was released from
6:16
Speaker 1: the Panthers mere hours ago. We're recording this on Monday,
6:19
Speaker 1: so by the time this comes out on Tuesday, it
6:21
Speaker 1: might be a bit of old news. But it doesn't
6:22
Speaker 1: matter because we need to break this down. Maybe. I
6:24
Speaker 1: have so many questions for you, and the first being
6:27
Speaker 1: where where did we go wrong? Where did this go wrong?
6:30
Speaker 1: Because I fell in love with Baker. Uh they were
6:33
Speaker 1: on hard knocks. He had such a big personality. He
6:36
Speaker 1: went to the Browns, which was also a huge personality.
6:39
Speaker 1: Where where did we get off course here with our
6:42
Speaker 1: love of Baker Mayfield? Do you remember was there a
6:45
Speaker 1: specific time, Was there a specific press conference? Was it
6:47
Speaker 1: I woke up feeling dangerous? Was it the chugging of
6:49
Speaker 1: the beer? Break it down from it that it happened fast?
6:53
Speaker 1: You know, we we had this wonderful relationship and the
6:56
Speaker 1: origin story of it is, you know, Baker coming on
7:00
Speaker 1: the draft. It was like he was a candidate who
7:02
Speaker 1: ran the perfect campaign and he said, I know, there's
7:04
Speaker 1: this guy Josh Allen and this guy Lamar and these
7:07
Speaker 1: two kids from l A. Rose and Donald, but like me,
7:11
Speaker 1: you should take me. And they did. They took this
7:14
Speaker 1: little short guy from Oklahoma number one. And then it's
7:16
Speaker 1: crazy to think, Rachel, but twenty three months ago, twenty
7:20
Speaker 1: three months ago, Baker Mayfield was in the second round
7:23
Speaker 1: of the playoffs, battling the Chiefs and having them in
7:27
Speaker 1: the game, and like they're like, I think he's gonna
7:29
Speaker 1: win this game. My homes just got knocked out of
7:31
Speaker 1: the game, and I think, oh my god, I think
7:32
Speaker 1: the Browns are going to the title game with Baker Mayfield.
7:35
Speaker 1: They lost, they never got back, and it all went
7:38
Speaker 1: to hell in the following season after that, where he
7:41
Speaker 1: got hurt and he has the fans game maybe weren't
7:43
Speaker 1: best friends. And then now it's like, I feel like
7:46
Speaker 1: he's five minutes from calling college football games for FS one.
7:48
Speaker 1: I'm worried about him. No, I'm worried about him too,
7:51
Speaker 1: But like I want to go back to that time
7:53
Speaker 1: because I feel like that was such an exciting moment
7:56
Speaker 1: for me. I had never really loved football, and then
7:58
Speaker 1: they I sawn on to be a fan of this
8:00
Speaker 1: crappy team, and um, they totally turned it around. And
8:05
Speaker 1: after I kind of like signed up and even that
8:08
Speaker 1: the last season when you said kind of things started
8:11
Speaker 1: to turn and he got a little shaky with Kevin Savanski.
8:13
Speaker 1: Obviously we don't know what happened in the locker room.
8:15
Speaker 1: There was also father's involved. Oh, b J's dad was
8:19
Speaker 1: making comments Kaream haunts Dad was making It was weird.
8:22
Speaker 1: But what I saw as a fan, um, he he
8:27
Speaker 1: got the crap beat out of him. He was so
8:29
Speaker 1: injured and he was still like he had the braces.
8:32
Speaker 1: He remember one game there was a breakdown of how
8:35
Speaker 1: much equipment was holding his body together for that game,
8:39
Speaker 1: and he still went out and like fought really hard
8:42
Speaker 1: for that team. And then there was like, you know,
8:43
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people hated on the letter
8:45
Speaker 1: that he wrote when he left Cleveland, but that was
8:47
Speaker 1: another sign of like you talk about this like campaign
8:50
Speaker 1: that he ran. I think he ran a pretty tight
8:54
Speaker 1: same campaign the entire way out. Like I don't think
8:57
Speaker 1: that Baker changed. I think that he was the same
9:00
Speaker 1: guy throughout. And then he goes to the Panthers. Obviously
9:03
Speaker 1: that doesn't go as planned. Um, he gets a little
9:05
Speaker 1: banged up there. And now obviously with the news on
9:09
Speaker 1: Sunday the Jimmy g is out, We've got a whole
9:12
Speaker 1: list of teams that could use a quarterback. The forty
9:16
Speaker 1: is being at the top right now, the Rams with
9:18
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford being out, John Wolford just went He's day
9:20
Speaker 1: to day right now. I believe a concussion. Texans Broncos
9:25
Speaker 1: could use a new quarterback of my band, honest um.
9:29
Speaker 1: But with all that being said, where do you think
9:31
Speaker 1: he's gonna go? Where would you like to see him go?
9:33
Speaker 1: Rather well, I think it's so interesting that the details
9:37
Speaker 1: of the releases that Baker asked for his release, so like,
9:41
Speaker 1: I'm very here in the depth chart. You guys don't
9:43
Speaker 1: want me, fine, I want to be released, and it's
9:45
Speaker 1: just too thick of a fat viscus coincidence that he
9:48
Speaker 1: wants to be released the day after the Niners thing
9:50
Speaker 1: opens up. It's like, all right, you know this, this
9:53
Speaker 1: beautiful woman or beautiful man whatever, all of a sudden
9:56
Speaker 1: like becomes single. You're in your own crappy relation and
10:00
Speaker 1: ship and you're like, I think we should break up,
10:02
Speaker 1: like right now, immediately so I can go there before
10:05
Speaker 1: someone else goes there and planning on breaking up with
10:08
Speaker 1: you soon. But now, let's besides, a lot of people
10:11
Speaker 1: do it before the holidays. You can get out of
10:13
Speaker 1: giving the gifts and stuff, and then you get the
10:14
Speaker 1: Valentine's do it now. But to answer your question, I
10:17
Speaker 1: wanted to I want with San Francisco. I want him
10:20
Speaker 1: bad and I'm with you, Rachel. Like there's a lot
10:22
Speaker 1: of critics and a lot of people just straight up
10:23
Speaker 1: don't like him. I am an unapologetic hand in the
10:26
Speaker 1: air Baker Mayfield fan. I like the way he played
10:28
Speaker 1: on that I love it, and like, listen if you
10:31
Speaker 1: want to get into the football of it. When he
10:32
Speaker 1: was winning over the Steelers in the playoffs and almost
10:35
Speaker 1: beating the Chiefs, he was just like that team was loaded.
10:38
Speaker 1: It was all this running game and these receivers and
10:40
Speaker 1: Joe gou and Myles Garrett. Like that wasn't Carolina, it
10:44
Speaker 1: was San Francisco. San Francisco has even reloaded. So like,
10:47
Speaker 1: if you ever to take a number one over pick
10:48
Speaker 1: talent and put him with that team, I really think
10:51
Speaker 1: it could work. And everything San Francisco has done has
10:53
Speaker 1: been like we're not gonna satisfied with like being fine,
10:56
Speaker 1: we're gonna get McCaffrey, we're gonna do this, We're gonna
10:58
Speaker 1: do that. For them to just sit there and go
11:00
Speaker 1: with the last player taken in the draft when they
11:02
Speaker 1: could have the first player taken in the draft, I
11:03
Speaker 1: don't think that's done exactly. And I feel like so
11:06
Speaker 1: many people are like a Baker can't throw, and Baker
11:08
Speaker 1: is not like you know, obviously, he's not like a
11:10
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes kind of quarterback. But there is something to
11:12
Speaker 1: be said for grit and just like getting through it.
11:16
Speaker 1: And I kind of likened that to Jimmy g as well.
11:18
Speaker 1: Jimmy's battled through so many different injuries. He's like built
11:22
Speaker 1: like a glass house at this point. It's really sad
11:25
Speaker 1: and I really feel for him. I can't imagine what
11:27
Speaker 1: he's feeling today with the just the surge that the
11:30
Speaker 1: forty nine have been on lately. But Baker, I feel like,
11:33
Speaker 1: I don't know how much Christian McCaffrey's eyes are going
11:36
Speaker 1: to roll into the back of his head if he
11:37
Speaker 1: does walk into that locker room. But I feel like
11:39
Speaker 1: Baker can make that team stay on that path, don't
11:44
Speaker 1: you Like? I feel like that's a really good But
11:46
Speaker 1: let me ask you this. I feel like he's had
11:49
Speaker 1: to have he had to for him to walk away
11:53
Speaker 1: from the Panthers and be like, I want to break
11:54
Speaker 1: up now there's don't you think that there's he knows
11:58
Speaker 1: something like there there was may be like a very
12:00
Speaker 1: quick conversation this morning or last night with somebody somewhere
12:04
Speaker 1: that would indicate, Okay, I know I need to do
12:06
Speaker 1: this now. Or do you think that this is a gamble. Well,
12:09
Speaker 1: he is a bit of a gambler, um and it is.
12:12
Speaker 1: It is a gamble to even do this hoping you're
12:14
Speaker 1: gonna go to San Francisco. So you were you were
12:16
Speaker 1: alluding to this, So this is the way that works.
12:19
Speaker 1: This is guys. This is no different than in your
12:21
Speaker 1: fantasy football league. When some player becomes available, the crappy
12:24
Speaker 1: teams get the first cut at him and the best
12:26
Speaker 1: teams get the last. So right now in the waiver order,
12:29
Speaker 1: the Niners of twenty four Houston consigned Baker Mayfield as
12:33
Speaker 1: soon as they want. And he's a Houston Texan and
12:35
Speaker 1: his his worst nightmares come true. They could do that.
12:37
Speaker 1: I don't think they will because they want the number
12:39
Speaker 1: one pick and just don't mess with it. The sneaky
12:41
Speaker 1: one that you mentioned is the Rams, who are like
12:44
Speaker 1: the zombie Rams right now, I don't even recognize them.
12:46
Speaker 1: I don't think they're interested in having Baker Mayfield come
12:49
Speaker 1: in and lead their team, but I do think they're
12:51
Speaker 1: interested in extending their middle finger to the forty Niners
12:54
Speaker 1: in a sort of sun so art of war here
12:56
Speaker 1: they be like, we don't want Baker Mayfield, but we
12:59
Speaker 1: don't want you to have them dummies. And if you
13:01
Speaker 1: have some an idea that you're gonna go on a
13:03
Speaker 1: playoff run with the number one overall pick, we're just
13:04
Speaker 1: gonna take him and stash him and then dump him
13:06
Speaker 1: in the off season. That would be really shrewd. And
13:10
Speaker 1: that's the one that, like, the only thing I want
13:11
Speaker 1: more than the Rams Rams like anti sign them. Oh
13:17
Speaker 1: my god. But that is not a personality match at all.
13:20
Speaker 1: That's like when you're you know, rough and tumble guy.
13:23
Speaker 1: I've got a friend that's like literally a cowboy and
13:25
Speaker 1: he introduced me to his girlfriend one time and she
13:27
Speaker 1: had Chanel. She was Gorgina like she was just like
13:32
Speaker 1: pretty princess. And I was like, I give it a
13:34
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Like just totally not matched at all. Okay,
13:38
Speaker 1: So next step on the list of things that I
13:40
Speaker 1: want to discuss with you, Aaron Rodgers renewed his ownership
13:43
Speaker 1: of the Bears, which is a fun storyline that's just
13:46
Speaker 1: never ending. Apparently I wanted to ask you, and I'm
13:50
Speaker 1: actually gonna go first because we were just talking about
13:52
Speaker 1: this team. If we could have ownership over a team
13:55
Speaker 1: in the NFL, who would we just want to irk
13:58
Speaker 1: every single door? Who would it be? I'm gonna go
14:02
Speaker 1: with the Rams. I love the Rams. I'm obviously in
14:05
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, but I gotta say, I'm trying to think
14:08
Speaker 1: of like, who's got the most obnoxious cheer? And you
14:12
Speaker 1: know you got the Bucks setting off the cannons, which
14:14
Speaker 1: is loud and abrupt and scary. I think the Chargers
14:17
Speaker 1: do a cannon as well. Um, the Rams have whose house?
14:20
Speaker 1: Rams House? And I gotta say it sends me. It
14:24
Speaker 1: sends me into an anxiety induced coma when I'm sitting
14:29
Speaker 1: in sofy stadium and I thought of the perfect touchdown celebration. Okay,
14:34
Speaker 1: when I'm way up on this team, I'm gonna run
14:36
Speaker 1: to the sideline. Totally gonna get fined for this running
14:38
Speaker 1: to the sideline. I'm getting a four sales sign, Okay,
14:41
Speaker 1: I'm sticking it in the ground and then I'm gonna
14:43
Speaker 1: point to everybody y'all for a sale and the I'm
14:45
Speaker 1: gonna flip over the tab and it's gonna say so
14:49
Speaker 1: tell me I you And oh that would bring me
14:54
Speaker 1: so much joy. So who who do you want to
14:57
Speaker 1: have ownership over? A not surprised that you picked the Rams,
15:02
Speaker 1: even less surprised that you have a friend who is
15:04
Speaker 1: an actual cowboy. What's going on there? We're burying the
15:07
Speaker 1: lad retired cowboys now a comedian in l A. He's
15:12
Speaker 1: one of my favorite people. Wow with like a rope
15:15
Speaker 1: and chaps and spurs and all that. You know. If
15:18
Speaker 1: he's like I'm sure he's from Amarillo, Texas. We call
15:21
Speaker 1: him the bad cowboy. Um, I'm sure he's done some
15:25
Speaker 1: roping things in his life, but he just walks around
15:27
Speaker 1: a big He's a huge Longhorns fan. He has an
15:30
Speaker 1: orange truck. He is the most cowboy cowboy that I've
15:34
Speaker 1: ever seen. Um. And now he's just like turned into
15:37
Speaker 1: a comedy writer, moved from Amarilla little Los Angeles. It's great.
15:40
Speaker 1: I love this guy. Um. I should segue perfectly and
15:44
Speaker 1: say it's the cowboys, but it's not because I was
15:45
Speaker 1: listening to some of the same criteria that you were saying.
15:48
Speaker 1: I want, Um, I want I want an obnoxious fan base,
15:52
Speaker 1: and by obnoxious I mean passionate, and UM, I want
15:55
Speaker 1: someone who's glamorous and listen, this is an easy choice
15:58
Speaker 1: for me. If I had owners, so over anybody would
16:00
Speaker 1: definitely be the Las Vegas Raiders. I want them. I
16:04
Speaker 1: want their brand new stadium. I own the whole new stadium.
16:07
Speaker 1: I own the Al Davis torch, I own the Mark
16:10
Speaker 1: Davis Owner's box, and like at least once a year
16:12
Speaker 1: I get to go to Vegas quick trip, just one
16:15
Speaker 1: in the night, maybe two. And their fans are so
16:17
Speaker 1: angry all the time. You want their slogan, whose house,
16:20
Speaker 1: our house, their slogan of commitment to excellence, and they
16:22
Speaker 1: almost never have excellence, and yet there's someone's committed to it.
16:25
Speaker 1: I'm into that Raiders. I wouldn't own them, and I
16:27
Speaker 1: love them best uniforms in the league, but I want
16:29
Speaker 1: to own them. You're right, they all they always seem
16:32
Speaker 1: a little bit grumpy and their whole demeanor like the
16:34
Speaker 1: black and the silver, and they're always just like painted
16:37
Speaker 1: rough and tumble, Like, Yeah, that would be fun to
16:40
Speaker 1: to make those guys a little bit angrier. Okay, before
16:42
Speaker 1: you go, kbe, we ruffled some feathers on this podcast
16:45
Speaker 1: last week. I'm sorry to say I came out as
16:47
Speaker 1: anti soup. I said it should be canceled. Um food
16:51
Speaker 1: shouldn't be that wet. Where do you stand on the soup?
16:53
Speaker 1: On this soup argument? You know what's funny. I thought
16:57
Speaker 1: you were gonna say you came out as um anti
17:00
Speaker 1: carry on baggage, which also piss some people off. So
17:05
Speaker 1: um as far as the soup listen, I when I
17:10
Speaker 1: go to a restaurant, let's let's just say, for argument's sake,
17:12
Speaker 1: I go to a restaurant a hundred times a year.
17:15
Speaker 1: I'm probably ordering soup nineties of those. Shut it down,
17:21
Speaker 1: Shut it down, give me the soup that much nice
17:27
Speaker 1: storm starter. I'm into it. Uh, tomato basil chicken noodle.
17:31
Speaker 1: My wife's got me going on French onion with like
17:34
Speaker 1: the just ridiculous cheese on top. Like I'm a soup guy.
17:37
Speaker 1: I'm into it. So you you literally asked what's the
17:40
Speaker 1: soup of the day, I'll have you know when I
17:45
Speaker 1: go in copper bowl, sir, Oh, I'm gonna go with
17:47
Speaker 1: a bowl. What do I look like here? No cup?
17:50
Speaker 1: Give me a full ass ball and it eats like
17:52
Speaker 1: a meal. I like soup. I was not expecting this
17:56
Speaker 1: to come out of your personality. I thought this is
17:58
Speaker 1: going to be another one something I'm gonna crunch them,
18:04
Speaker 1: sprinkle them all over there, and I'm gonna go crazy.
18:06
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do with the side of the spoon. I
18:09
Speaker 1: love soup. I'm a super guy. I can't say it enough.
18:11
Speaker 1: They still drink to mate. You might as a little
18:14
Speaker 1: drink tomato out of a can like the made it
18:16
Speaker 1: like the sick. It's sick. I'm not afraid of a
18:19
Speaker 1: bloody Mary. I'll have you know that. I'm not bloody
18:24
Speaker 1: marry over a warm soup. Especially Wait, if you're ordering
18:28
Speaker 1: it ninety seven times a year, that means there's some
18:29
Speaker 1: crossover into the summer, isn't it. You're sick? Oh you ever?
18:34
Speaker 1: You ever gotten your lips on a little bit of
18:36
Speaker 1: gaspacho cold soup? Log off. We're cutting this podcast short, Kaby,
18:41
Speaker 1: We'll see you next week. What an awful answer. Thanks
18:44
Speaker 1: for your team, No, thanks for that. I'm making the clean.
18:49
Speaker 1: I'm setting this rule right now. If you are pro soup.
18:52
Speaker 1: If you are that pro soup, not allowed on the pod.
18:55
Speaker 1: Not allowed on the pod. Maybe Kbe will give an
18:57
Speaker 1: exception to because he's a good friend. It. We need
19:01
Speaker 1: to start when we're when we're going through who we
19:03
Speaker 1: want on the pod. You know super Bowls around the corner.
19:05
Speaker 1: We're probably gonna be on Radio Row. The question must
19:08
Speaker 1: be asked, are you pro soup? Are you in the
19:10
Speaker 1: middle or are you anti soup? Only anti soups and
19:14
Speaker 1: in the middles can come on this podcast because you
19:16
Speaker 1: can't just come on making outrageous claims that you eat
19:18
Speaker 1: soup nineties seven times a year and this summer, Oh
19:22
Speaker 1: my god. Okay, coming up after the break, we're gonna
19:24
Speaker 1: preview Thursday Football. We got Raiders and Rams. I think
19:27
Speaker 1: this one's gonna be a lot more interesting than you
19:28
Speaker 1: probably think. Don't go anywhere look at all. Right, let's
19:45
Speaker 1: break down Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime. You guys
19:49
Speaker 1: can watch it eight pm Eastern Thursday. Ob the uh
19:53
Speaker 1: this one. I feel like I may change my mind
19:57
Speaker 1: on this A couple of different times. I watched this
19:59
Speaker 1: Ramsey X game very closely. This week. I feel like
20:02
Speaker 1: there was a lot on the line. You got Bobby
20:04
Speaker 1: Wagner who was released from the Seahawks, and and I
20:07
Speaker 1: think not even like a phone call has had so
20:09
Speaker 1: he is he's going off. Okay, he is on this
20:14
Speaker 1: team like madness. You can see. You can tell that
20:17
Speaker 1: there was a little extra when he was taken on
20:19
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Now he's on the Rams. Jalen Ramsey was
20:22
Speaker 1: super spicy. Like the Seahawks, who I thought were going
20:26
Speaker 1: into this game, I thought this game was gonna stink.
20:28
Speaker 1: I thought the Seahawks were just going to smash them.
20:31
Speaker 1: But no, the Rams were in the game until the
20:33
Speaker 1: very last second, and for a minute there, I thought
20:36
Speaker 1: that we're gonna win without Matthew Stafford. John Wolford went
20:39
Speaker 1: out for a minute or two with them. I think
20:41
Speaker 1: a concussion. I think. I'm like, I might have that wrong,
20:44
Speaker 1: but anyways, not not what I thought the Rams were
20:47
Speaker 1: gonna do. And then you've got the Raiders, who, again
20:50
Speaker 1: you're going into every single game. What you have kind
20:52
Speaker 1: of like stamped in your brain this season is that
20:54
Speaker 1: the Raiders have been pretty awful. Uh, Davante Adams going
20:58
Speaker 1: was probably not what he thought this season was going
21:00
Speaker 1: to be. I know they've had some issues with their
21:03
Speaker 1: their head coach, adapting their um, but guys, the Raiders
21:07
Speaker 1: have like quietly pieced together three wins in a row now,
21:10
Speaker 1: And I had to look at that twice this morning,
21:12
Speaker 1: being like, wait, they've been doing what? Um so I
21:16
Speaker 1: feel like I still kind of want to go with
21:19
Speaker 1: the Raiders, although I did see some nice things from
21:21
Speaker 1: the Rams, but John Wilford's now day to day, uh,
21:25
Speaker 1: he is the backup, so I don't know what they're
21:27
Speaker 1: gonna look like on Thursday. Also, that is a very
21:30
Speaker 1: short turnaround after a very tough game, like this game
21:32
Speaker 1: was grueling, just back and forth and back and forth,
21:35
Speaker 1: and the defense really kept the Rams in the game.
21:38
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go Raiders on this one. Is that
21:41
Speaker 1: to obviously also have a short short play. I'm gonna
21:44
Speaker 1: go Raiders to win. I believe that they are in
21:47
Speaker 1: eights favorite six six favorites will move. I'm gonna go
21:54
Speaker 1: win and Raiders cover. I think so too. The Rams
22:00
Speaker 1: fought so hard, but it feels like one of those
22:02
Speaker 1: games that they got up four that it's gonna have
22:04
Speaker 1: a lasting effect afterwards. So I don't know. The Raiders
22:08
Speaker 1: have been pretty impressive lately, like you said, the three
22:11
Speaker 1: game winning streak, and they look a lot better and
22:12
Speaker 1: they've been honestly, they've been good all season. They just
22:15
Speaker 1: lost so many close games on like the final few plays,
22:19
Speaker 1: and they're finally putting it together. So I do think
22:22
Speaker 1: the Raiders will take care of business in this one.
22:24
Speaker 1: I also saw a quote from Bobby Wager that was
22:26
Speaker 1: just like, I kept my emotions at Bay all week
22:28
Speaker 1: and then on Sunday I just let them go, like
22:31
Speaker 1: he could probably lose out for the rest of the
22:33
Speaker 1: season and be like, at least I had that Seahawks game,
22:37
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like, you're right, that is
22:39
Speaker 1: absolutely a game that both of these teams get up for.
22:41
Speaker 1: And it was a lot more exciting than I thought
22:42
Speaker 1: it was going to be. So okay, Raiders and must
22:44
Speaker 1: I said, can I just have a moment? Oh, no,
22:47
Speaker 1: momenta poor and four? I went five season five and
22:50
Speaker 1: it was a five and five. And oh in your
22:53
Speaker 1: week thirteen picks against the spread. That's quite impressive. That
22:57
Speaker 1: is very impressive. And now we are getting close. I'm
22:59
Speaker 1: thirty six and one and you are for one. Congratulations
23:04
Speaker 1: is very good and Mohan one. So on Friday show,
23:08
Speaker 1: when we make some picks for the weekend, let me
23:10
Speaker 1: just say I'm going out on some more limbs. Okay,
23:12
Speaker 1: I am closing. I am closing the gap, all right.
23:16
Speaker 1: Coming up after the break, we're gonna talk best and
23:18
Speaker 1: worst thing that I saw all weeks going with beast.
23:33
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the best and the worst
23:35
Speaker 1: thing that I saw all weekend. Um. First off, we
23:39
Speaker 1: we we dug into the archives a little bit. We've
23:41
Speaker 1: we've been slacking. Okay, we just took a look at
23:45
Speaker 1: all of your reviews. Five reviews my iad and we
23:50
Speaker 1: had a good one that we that I wanted to read.
23:53
Speaker 1: You guys, this is from my most mama something like that. Um.
23:58
Speaker 1: She said, not sure if I like it yet, but
24:00
Speaker 1: I can't stop listening. Hey, my mos mama will take that.
24:05
Speaker 1: Thank you for the star review. Um. And guys, the
24:08
Speaker 1: other best thing that I saw I love. We were
24:11
Speaker 1: talking about Aaron Rodgers having ownership of the Bears, KB
24:15
Speaker 1: having ownership of the Raiders, me having ownership of the Rams.
24:19
Speaker 1: The Bengals beating the Chiefs this weekend again is just
24:24
Speaker 1: like chefs kiss, absolutely beautiful. I love that this this
24:30
Speaker 1: team just embodies underdogs like their Cincinnati. Um. They've had
24:35
Speaker 1: a rough season the last few weeks, they have really
24:38
Speaker 1: started to string together those like great wins and to
24:41
Speaker 1: do it against the Chiefs like, I'm sorry, but look
24:46
Speaker 1: the hell out for the Bengals. You got Jamaar Chase
24:50
Speaker 1: back this weekend. Joe Mixon hopefully is around the corner.
24:55
Speaker 1: I don't think he played this weekend. Um, but beating
24:57
Speaker 1: the Chiefs is big time. Boys, Beating Chiefs is big time,
25:01
Speaker 1: and I love that they keep on doing this. Chiefs,
25:04
Speaker 1: you're good, we get it. You're good. Okay, let somebody
25:08
Speaker 1: else have the limelight for once. Um. And then the
25:11
Speaker 1: worst thing that I saw this truly broke my heart.
25:14
Speaker 1: I literally just put this team into my Super Bowl
25:17
Speaker 1: pick because they are so fun and I love the
25:20
Speaker 1: story of Jimmy g being absolutely counted out. At the
25:24
Speaker 1: beginning of the season. It was Trey Lance, Go, Go Go,
25:26
Speaker 1: and then Tray Lance goes down, Jimmy comes back, They
25:29
Speaker 1: get Christian McCaffrey, Deebo, Samuel is finding his health. It's
25:32
Speaker 1: just all coming together perfectly. Um. And then Jimmy goes
25:37
Speaker 1: down breaks apparently a few things in his foot um
25:41
Speaker 1: or his ankle. No broken foot. Oh my god, that
25:45
Speaker 1: just breaks my heart. This was such a fun story
25:48
Speaker 1: and it's just very sad. And you can literally hear
25:51
Speaker 1: Kyle Shannon had had a press conference after the game.
25:53
Speaker 1: You can hear the emotion in his voice. Let's take
25:55
Speaker 1: a list, um and Jimmy um foot, he'll be out,
26:00
Speaker 1: he'll end up need surgery. Um broke a few things
26:03
Speaker 1: in there. So I'm real unfortunate to have that so obviously,
26:07
Speaker 1: I mean just hearing it, it's it's pretty crushing. Is
26:10
Speaker 1: we know what Jimmy has been through, how hard he's
26:12
Speaker 1: worked at this. You know, I got that news a
26:14
Speaker 1: little in the second quarter. Um, So it was a
26:17
Speaker 1: little different for me, even just how happy we were
26:19
Speaker 1: with that game. That was a really cool game just
26:21
Speaker 1: as a team and all the stuff that went on
26:24
Speaker 1: throughout the game and just be able to overcome some
26:26
Speaker 1: things and it was so such a special win. Um.
26:28
Speaker 1: But definitely mixed emotions hearing about Jimmy. Um. I told
26:31
Speaker 1: the guys right after the game, and so I know
26:34
Speaker 1: that gave them some mixed emotions fast too. But um,
26:37
Speaker 1: it's a hell of a job I brought coming in
26:38
Speaker 1: stepping it up. He um did a real good job today,
26:41
Speaker 1: and UM, I'm gonna be ready to do our best
26:44
Speaker 1: overcome this. This honestly makes the win over the Dolphins
26:48
Speaker 1: that much more like impressive that Kyle Shannion got the
26:52
Speaker 1: news that his his really his backup quarterback because he
26:56
Speaker 1: was backing up Trey Lance and came in and kind
26:59
Speaker 1: of got the job done. Now he's gone, what are
27:02
Speaker 1: they gonna do? Um, so we're gonna hear We're gonna
27:05
Speaker 1: pay close attention to what these guys get up to
27:07
Speaker 1: in the next few days. But this is just I
27:09
Speaker 1: really feel for Jimmy, and I hope that next season.
27:13
Speaker 1: It's just so sad knowing all the incentives that he
27:15
Speaker 1: had to to like go to the playoffs, and like,
27:18
Speaker 1: oh my god, it just sucks that Jimmy g movie
27:21
Speaker 1: is going to be really something with this now it
27:23
Speaker 1: is like the Dark Knight of the Soul part of
27:26
Speaker 1: the of the script. Yeah, we better start writing that
27:29
Speaker 1: bad Puppy Another bad thing that I saw, which is
27:32
Speaker 1: a lot lighter of news here, but still this kind
27:35
Speaker 1: of irked me. And I know that I am not
27:36
Speaker 1: involved in the situation whatsoever. I'm not a Jets fan.
27:38
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see what Dan has his things about this.
27:41
Speaker 1: A few Jets players showed up wearing Mike White shirts
27:46
Speaker 1: look and the Jets tweeted it out, which is also
27:50
Speaker 1: kind of insane, Like this feels like, um, this is
27:55
Speaker 1: kind of like feels like really immature, like elementary school,
27:59
Speaker 1: like when you don't like some me and there's my
28:00
Speaker 1: weight wearing a Tyler Conquin. Right, it just feels very immature,
28:04
Speaker 1: and like I can't imagine. I kind of feel this
28:06
Speaker 1: makes me feel bad for Zach Wilson, Like we get it.
28:11
Speaker 1: He said something very quickly in a press conference that
28:14
Speaker 1: he probably didn't mean because he was irked after the game,
28:17
Speaker 1: saying that, you know, did you let the defense down? Know?
28:19
Speaker 1: I didn't um, And now the whole team is like
28:22
Speaker 1: kind of kind of like turned their back on a Garrett.
28:26
Speaker 1: Wilson had a very strong take on Mike White. Rich
28:30
Speaker 1: Chiminy tweeted this out. He was out there controlling the huddle,
28:33
Speaker 1: never letting the moment get too big. It was cool
28:35
Speaker 1: to see. Looking back on it now, it's cool to
28:37
Speaker 1: think about. I know I'd go to war for that boy.
28:40
Speaker 1: He's got something special about him. Greatby what do you think?
28:44
Speaker 1: This is not looking good for Zach Wilson. I think
28:46
Speaker 1: he's done. I think he's completely lost the locker room.
28:49
Speaker 1: And I do not barring, you know, God forbid of
28:52
Speaker 1: Mike White injury. I don't think he sees the field again,
28:54
Speaker 1: Mike White's bawling out. And you can tell the players
28:57
Speaker 1: like playing for somebody that throws them ball if you're
29:01
Speaker 1: for almost four hundred yards yesterday, Yes, and that's two
29:04
Speaker 1: weeks in a row that he's gone over three hundred.
29:06
Speaker 1: And I mean the Jets didn't win that game, but
29:09
Speaker 1: they made a heck of a second half comeback coming
29:12
Speaker 1: down from or something like that. So I mean, if
29:16
Speaker 1: you're a Jets player, wouldn't you like be hyped about
29:20
Speaker 1: this guy coming off the bench who has been with
29:22
Speaker 1: the organization for years and never really had a real
29:25
Speaker 1: shot and now he's coming in and playing so well, Like, yeah,
29:28
Speaker 1: it sucks. The t shirts and the tweets that just
29:32
Speaker 1: I feel like that is a lot. It is like
29:35
Speaker 1: treating Zach Wilson in real life. It's like tweeting like
29:40
Speaker 1: like Zach Wilson, you're not wanted here, but then like
29:42
Speaker 1: tagging him in the tweet, like you could just say,
29:44
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson, you're not wanted here, but like he's gonna
29:46
Speaker 1: see he's gonna see the shirt, everybody, What do you think?
29:50
Speaker 1: Like that that bus ride over to the stadium must
29:55
Speaker 1: have been a hell of quiet on his end. Yeah. Um, okay, guys,
