- 0:36Speaker 1: to be back in studio with my best Bud Moahan
- 0:41Speaker 1: and Junkyard Dog. I haven't called you that in a while.
- 0:44Speaker 1: It's been a little while. How's that stuck in any
- 0:47Speaker 1: any other shows that you do? Is anybody call you
- 0:49Speaker 1: Junkyard Dog? I saw him a comment once and I
- 0:51Speaker 1: was like, that's from our show. Yes, people on Twitter
- 0:55Speaker 1: like it, but um calls me grave digger every time. Well,
- 0:59Speaker 1: well that's their show. This is ours, guys. I'm so
- 1:02Speaker 1: happy to be back in studio. I have a secret
- 1:04Speaker 1: to tell you. So I forgot that there was going
- 1:07Speaker 1: to be a photographer in studio today. So I came
- 1:10Speaker 1: and if you're not, if you're just listening to this,
- 1:12Speaker 1: I'm a little schlubby. Okay, your girl rolled out. But
- 1:16Speaker 1: there's a reason why I look like this. Okay, my
- 1:19Speaker 1: bathroom is currently getting redone and we had our bathtub reglazed,
- 1:24Speaker 1: so I cannot shower in my bathtub for the next
- 1:28Speaker 1: forty eight hours, which is fine because I go to
- 1:30Speaker 1: Germany tomorrow night. Okay, this is fine. I planned this,
- 1:34Speaker 1: but there's still I still do need to shower period
- 1:37Speaker 1: before I go to Germany. So I've been planning on
- 1:40Speaker 1: taking secret showers at work because we have showers that
- 1:43Speaker 1: end up on network. But then a photographer showed up,
- 1:46Speaker 1: and so this is just this is what we're dealing with.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Am I weird because I'm going to take showers here?
- 1:51Speaker 1: Should I not tell everyone that? Or packed a lufa?
- 1:54Speaker 1: I think other people have done that, people in this
- 1:57Speaker 1: control room, not me, but named Christie. I didn't name
- 2:03Speaker 1: any names. I'm doing it, but just so you know,
- 2:07Speaker 1: they just don't look at the photos that are going
- 2:09Speaker 1: to be posted on this show. Are you gonna wear
- 2:11Speaker 1: shower shoes? Oh no, she's not. I didn't frink you.
- 2:19Speaker 1: I mean, what's one time, that's all you need, that's
- 2:23Speaker 1: one time. It's fine. I'll soap them up. You can
- 2:27Speaker 1: get hives on your feet before you go. No, don't
- 2:30Speaker 1: wish hives upon me. I have them the last time
- 2:32Speaker 1: I flew people listening to this podcast. I really this
- 2:36Speaker 1: is just gross. Um, guys, a very special day. We
- 2:39Speaker 1: are into week nine. It is it is Thursday. We
- 2:42Speaker 1: recorded this podcast on Thursday. We've got Thursday Night football
- 2:44Speaker 1: coming up tonight. But we are We're in it, baby,
- 2:47Speaker 1: we are in it to win it. And I don't
- 2:49Speaker 1: like to do math, but that's like halfway through the season. Yeah,
- 2:52Speaker 1: So we decided today to do a little something special.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Graver roll the clip. Welcome to the first annual mid
- 3:04Speaker 1: season NFL Awards, voted on by one single person and
- 3:08Speaker 1: she refuses to hear she is incorrect. Now time to
- 3:13Speaker 1: introduce you to that very person, your host, Rachel Clapp,
- 3:21Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. Wow. What a night tonight is
- 3:26Speaker 1: And we got all dressed up, look great. I asked
- 3:28Speaker 1: you to wear a bow tie? Is this is it
- 3:31Speaker 1: right in front of you? What is that? I asked
- 3:34Speaker 1: you for one thing? To wear a bow tie. I
- 3:35Speaker 1: brought a gown. Does this ceremony have a jail cell?
- 3:42Speaker 1: It's about too real quick or you don't have a
- 3:44Speaker 1: bowtime be the red carpet correspondent for now. All right, okay,
- 3:50Speaker 1: itchy sequence, do you like my gown specifically for this event?
- 3:55Speaker 1: It's very smart, magnificent, thank you. Okay, it's time for
- 3:58Speaker 1: the mid season Awards. We've got a couple awards that
- 4:01Speaker 1: we are giving out. Coach of the Year currently are
- 4:05Speaker 1: the front runners MVP so far, who we're feeling, and
- 4:10Speaker 1: then the surprising story the team or the player that
- 4:12Speaker 1: we are just oh my god, this is exciting. Have
- 4:15Speaker 1: an award, you know. Okay, So we're gonna start with
- 4:17Speaker 1: Coach of the Year. And like I know, the intest
- 4:19Speaker 1: said that my opinion is the only one that matters,
- 4:20Speaker 1: and it is, but I'm willing to hear your guys
- 4:23Speaker 1: if you guys have an opinion on this Coach of
- 4:25Speaker 1: the Year. Right now, I think the front runner this
- 4:29Speaker 1: is on fan Duel at minus one oh five. The
- 4:32Speaker 1: obvious is Nick Sirianni. He's got an undefeated team right now.
- 4:35Speaker 1: He is very fun, what could be interesting And a
- 4:38Speaker 1: few people called me this on Halloween when I was
- 4:41Speaker 1: dressed up as this man, Brian Dable could be hella
- 4:45Speaker 1: interesting at plus three hundred. Pete Carroll is in there,
- 4:50Speaker 1: very interesting. Mike McDaniel. I feel like if Tua never
- 4:54Speaker 1: got concussed in the Dolphins were still in their run,
- 4:56Speaker 1: he would be a little bit higher. Nick Sirianni is
- 5:00Speaker 1: the easy choice. Okay, question is this like the coach
- 5:05Speaker 1: of the first half of the season. Let's just let's
- 5:07Speaker 1: just adicting who's gonna win at the end of the year.
- 5:10Speaker 1: I don't know what do you guys want to do.
- 5:11Speaker 1: I was kind of traditioning, Oh, we can do mid
- 5:14Speaker 1: season awards. It's gotta be Nick Sirianni. That yeah, it's
- 5:20Speaker 1: look at those eyebrows. I love his his postgame press conferences.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Remember last year when he was talking about growing a plant.
- 5:26Speaker 1: It's beautiful, it's poetic. I really like this guy. Oh yeah,
- 5:30Speaker 1: so he gets fired up on the sidelines. I've seen
- 5:32Speaker 1: him swear at people. Anything that's undefeated you gotta give
- 5:35Speaker 1: credit to. But I also think the surprising aspect of
- 5:38Speaker 1: the Seahawks being good and currently leading their division, like
- 5:41Speaker 1: there's a strong case to be made for Pete Carroll.
- 5:43Speaker 1: I'm not saying he should win a strong case. A
- 5:47Speaker 1: lot of Seahawks chatter. It's a little like vibrate, like
- 5:50Speaker 1: Seahawks vibration. That's like under the floorboards in this building
- 5:55Speaker 1: right now, everyone's getting a little excited about Seattle. UH.
- 5:58Speaker 1: Coach of the Year, are you in, Nick Sirianna, I'm
- 6:00Speaker 1: gonna go Brian Dable the Giants for six and two.
- 6:04Speaker 1: No one thought they'd be that good. The division's really hard. Yeah.
- 6:07Speaker 1: He's also like a guy that you kind of like
- 6:09Speaker 1: want to hear. Yeah, right, what you want to have
- 6:11Speaker 1: a cigar with him? All of these awards are voted
- 6:14Speaker 1: on by media members and people who write who like storylines,
- 6:19Speaker 1: like obviously Nick Sirianni pulled the Eagles out of like
- 6:22Speaker 1: what have they even done the last few years? Besides,
- 6:24Speaker 1: you know, win a Super Bowl a couple of years ago,
- 6:26Speaker 1: but the last few seasons He goes, Yeah, just the
- 6:28Speaker 1: super Bowl I've made, But the last few seasons they've
- 6:31Speaker 1: not really done much. So Nick Sirianni, I'm going Nick Sirianni,
- 6:34Speaker 1: But shout out to my guy, Brian Dable. Most Valuable
- 6:37Speaker 1: Player obviously Josh Allen he is the favorite. Jalen Hurts
- 6:42Speaker 1: being up there is very interesting. Um. I when I
- 6:47Speaker 1: made this pick, I was thinking it was going to
- 6:49Speaker 1: be the end of the season because, like I said,
- 6:51Speaker 1: the floorboards are a shaken, and I was gonna go
- 6:54Speaker 1: with Geno Smith because yes, Heriot, just hear me out. Okay,
- 6:59Speaker 1: Josh Allen has multiple weapons behind him. He's got a
- 7:03Speaker 1: lot going on on the bills to help prop him
- 7:05Speaker 1: up Most Valuable Player. I feel like Gino has pulled
- 7:09Speaker 1: the Seahawks out of the mud. Their defense is playing better,
- 7:14Speaker 1: they're off at they've got weapons. All of a sudden,
- 7:18Speaker 1: this team is rolling. So this is more of a
- 7:20Speaker 1: predictive thing. I think that the Seahawks keep it going,
- 7:23Speaker 1: they make it far in the playoffs, and Gino Smith
- 7:25Speaker 1: is a very fun MVP choice. Yeah. I like Jalen Hurts.
- 7:31Speaker 1: The Eagles are okay, okay, like your Coach of the
- 7:35Speaker 1: Year was was really I think Gino is probably gonna
- 7:39Speaker 1: win Comeback Player of the Year. I love that too.
- 7:41Speaker 1: I don't know if he'll if he'll really be in
- 7:43Speaker 1: the m I'm the story that I want to read.
- 7:47Speaker 1: That's a thing like story narrative. It's all driven by
- 7:52Speaker 1: the media of like bias, and I feel like the
- 7:54Speaker 1: media is just never gonna give Gino Smith MVP because
- 7:57Speaker 1: of his career up to this point, like no matter
- 7:59Speaker 1: how exactly, and he ain't writing back. But I think
- 8:05Speaker 1: for the first half of the year, Jalen Hurts, Josh Allen,
- 8:09Speaker 1: boring guys so many touchdowns and doing it without Tyreek Hill.
- 8:14Speaker 1: When everyone said this is the same stuff every single year,
- 8:17Speaker 1: I'm like Spirit Awards, like Laura Derna's half dancing across
- 8:21Speaker 1: the stage. That's what people want to watch. Jalen Hurts
- 8:25Speaker 1: was going into the season the week part of the
- 8:27Speaker 1: Eagles and he and he's crushing right, He's taking a
- 8:30Speaker 1: real step. He runs the ball, he throws the ball.
- 8:33Speaker 1: He wins the game. Every game. He wins every game. Uh,
- 8:37Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey's in there at plus six thousand. Would you
- 8:40Speaker 1: guys dabble with the forty niners? Whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa.
- 8:46Speaker 1: They were looking fun last week, so they were that
- 8:49Speaker 1: could be wild um okay, and then surprising story team
- 8:53Speaker 1: or player. I think the biggest story is that the
- 8:56Speaker 1: teams that we thought were going to be very good
- 8:58Speaker 1: this year, like the team that are usually very good.
- 9:01Speaker 1: You got the Bucks, the Rams won the Super Bowl
- 9:04Speaker 1: last year, the Packers with two time MVP winner back
- 9:07Speaker 1: to back Aaron Rodgers. They're not You could throw the
- 9:11Speaker 1: Bengals in that commo, but Bengals, I feel like, get
- 9:16Speaker 1: a break because there's always a super Bowl hangover. The
- 9:18Speaker 1: teams that lose the Super Bowl have historically like the
- 9:21Speaker 1: numbers are weird. Yeah, have they just had they hit
- 9:25Speaker 1: a bad game on Monday. But I think they'll bounce backs. Yeah.
- 9:28Speaker 1: Um so I would say that just the teams that
- 9:30Speaker 1: we thought were going to be good are actually pretty bad,
- 9:33Speaker 1: which makes for a very exciting season because then you
- 9:35Speaker 1: get all of these other guys into the fold. Like
- 9:37Speaker 1: Lions and Packers play this weekend. I genuinely feel like
- 9:39Speaker 1: the Packers will lose that game. If you ask me
- 9:42Speaker 1: to choose that game preseason, I'd be like, Oh, Aaron
- 9:46Speaker 1: Rodgers gonna be like cleaning up by that, right. What?
- 9:49Speaker 1: There are so many like fun front runners. Now, what
- 9:51Speaker 1: do you guys think what is the most interesting surprising
- 9:54Speaker 1: story team or player this season? I think piggybacking off
- 9:57Speaker 1: your Gino love. I think Gino ball out and Russ
- 10:01Speaker 1: not playing well in Denver. Yeah, going in the season,
- 10:06Speaker 1: everyone thought the Broncos would be really good, that the
- 10:08Speaker 1: Seahawks would be one of the worst teams. There's so
- 10:10Speaker 1: many primetime games that were slated with the Broncos and
- 10:13Speaker 1: now it's like complete opposite and the Seahawks are a
- 10:16Speaker 1: great story. Yeah, a little bit delicious. But the more
- 10:19Speaker 1: that I think about it, and the more since we've
- 10:20Speaker 1: had Cynthia on this show, the more that I'm buying
- 10:23Speaker 1: into Russ if he's full of it being a bit,
- 10:28Speaker 1: it's a bit. Yeah, it could be a bit, but
- 10:30Speaker 1: what's not a bit is how bad he has played
- 10:32Speaker 1: and the Seahawks gambling on Like basically they had a
- 10:37Speaker 1: it's either Russ or Pete Carroll. Who do you want
- 10:39Speaker 1: to keep the franchise quarterback who's won a Super Bowl
- 10:42Speaker 1: or the coach who's getting up there in years who
- 10:44Speaker 1: may not want to coach that longer, may not want
- 10:45Speaker 1: to go through a rebuild. And they chose the coach.
- 10:48Speaker 1: And everyone was like, why would like you always choose
- 10:50Speaker 1: the quarterback. It's the hardest thing to find in sports,
- 10:52Speaker 1: And they were right to choose the coach. That is
- 10:54Speaker 1: incredibly surprising. Pete Carroll is seventy one years old. They
- 11:01Speaker 1: obviously knew that things were a little and now we
- 11:04Speaker 1: hear all of these stories like, oh, nobody even has
- 11:06Speaker 1: Russ's phone number. They have to text their assistant. Like
- 11:09Speaker 1: now we know who was it, Tyler Lockett? Did he
- 11:12Speaker 1: make a statement after a game that was just like
- 11:14Speaker 1: I'm just so glad that nobody's taking like ownership or
- 11:16Speaker 1: like credit for like the games, and like we all
- 11:19Speaker 1: just like share that, and everyone's just like, is he
- 11:21Speaker 1: talking about Russ? You know what I mean? Like there's
- 11:24Speaker 1: some things that have like come out now that it's like, Okay,
- 11:26Speaker 1: maybe Russ isn't mister unlimited like we all thought he
- 11:29Speaker 1: might be. Let Russ cook blah blah blah blah blah.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Maybe it's just like we owe that success to Pete
- 11:34Speaker 1: and Pete only, and the Seahawks organizations hate it. The
- 11:38Speaker 1: Seahawks organization showed, you know, they like really showed who
- 11:41Speaker 1: they stand with, and it's cool to see Pete Carroll.
- 11:44Speaker 1: The Seahawks got um Drew Locke in that trade and
- 11:48Speaker 1: no one even thought about him being starter in the
- 11:50Speaker 1: whole time. Pete Carroll's like Gino's gonna be the guy.
- 11:52Speaker 1: Gino is gonna be the guy. And now he's believed
- 11:54Speaker 1: in it. Yes, and now he's your MVP pick. It's crazy.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Love a Cinderella story, you guys. I love a Cinderella story. Okay,
- 12:01Speaker 1: So though that's the cho orcho done? Uh, no intermission,
- 12:04Speaker 1: you guys can just leave, you know, to play the year. No, rookie,
- 12:09Speaker 1: we'll get to that. Stuff are too long. Shows are
- 12:12Speaker 1: too long as is um you know, you know I
- 12:14Speaker 1: don't need to be watching the Oscars giveaway like editor
- 12:16Speaker 1: of the of the Year at nine pm hot take. Okay,
- 12:20Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. I love the Oscars. Okay, coming up
- 12:23Speaker 1: after the break, we're picking some games. Bit bit, don't
- 12:27Speaker 1: go anywhere. We'll get to guys. If I were you,
- 12:38Speaker 1: i'd be screaming. Okay, because I'm at five hundred twenty
- 12:42Speaker 1: two and twenty two. Is that the best that I've
- 12:44Speaker 1: been or is that worse than I was? No, you
- 12:46Speaker 1: had a down week last week that put you back
- 12:48Speaker 1: at five hundred. Well, I'm feeling good about this week,
- 12:53Speaker 1: so you guys better start screaming. Mohawn. Justin You guys
- 12:56Speaker 1: are tied twenty sixteen. That's the real story. Forget about me.
- 12:59Speaker 1: Who's gonna come? That is very good, impressive both of you. Okay,
- 13:06Speaker 1: first things first, we got the Packers three and a
- 13:09Speaker 1: half point favorite against Detroit. I am going Lions to
- 13:13Speaker 1: beat the Packers and cover the three and a half
- 13:16Speaker 1: and I feel great about it. I just feel like
- 13:18Speaker 1: Packers are at it in the wrong direction. The Lions
- 13:20Speaker 1: are the best, not good team right now. They are
- 13:24Speaker 1: one in six. They could be six in one. They
- 13:27Speaker 1: could be six and one. They have gotten they almost
- 13:30Speaker 1: beat the Eagles week one, and then this fairytale story
- 13:33Speaker 1: of Philly is no more. You know, they shut They
- 13:36Speaker 1: could have shut that down, right. I'm going Lions. Packers
- 13:40Speaker 1: are two. Packers are down some of the Seahawks magic exactly.
- 13:43Speaker 1: Packers are too far gone. I feel like all of
- 13:45Speaker 1: these quotes that are coming out with Aaron Rodgers just
- 13:47Speaker 1: talking down on his teammates, the vibes in the locker
- 13:50Speaker 1: room not immaculate. And I know the Lions haven't been
- 13:52Speaker 1: winning either, and Dan Campbell's on the hot seat blah
- 13:55Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah. I just feel like
- 13:57Speaker 1: one is way more motivated to win. The other team
- 14:00Speaker 1: hates everyone. I agree. We talked about this about Roger's
- 14:05Speaker 1: leadership um strategies, which I don't agree with, but it's
- 14:09Speaker 1: funny to see that. Yeah, Antill, we get it. And
- 14:13Speaker 1: he was complaining about his teammates and then the trade
- 14:15Speaker 1: deadline goes and comes in and they didn't make a
- 14:18Speaker 1: move not so it's like, we're not going to reward
- 14:20Speaker 1: you complaining about your teammates. But that being said, I'm
- 14:22Speaker 1: going to pick the Packers wow to cover three and
- 14:27Speaker 1: a half. Yeah, he's really really good, talented as a person,
- 14:31Speaker 1: as a player, but in Detroit. In Detroit, Detroit plays
- 14:34Speaker 1: every game like they don't win, but they play every
- 14:36Speaker 1: game close. That's why I'm taking the Lions and cover
- 14:38Speaker 1: the three and a half. They might win. Yeah, I
- 14:41Speaker 1: do think like I would predict Green Bay wins by
- 14:43Speaker 1: a field goal, but that is inside three and a half.
- 14:45Speaker 1: I do. I do have the Lions. Yeah, no, I um,
- 14:49Speaker 1: I'm taking the lines. Heck yeah, Lions plus three and
- 14:52Speaker 1: a half. Um, okay, Next up, Buffalo is eleven and
- 14:57Speaker 1: a half point favorite, or at least it was when
- 14:58Speaker 1: I put that in this morning. I don't know if
- 15:00Speaker 1: that's changed. I feel like that's been been growing. I'm
- 15:03Speaker 1: going Buffalo thirty one to twenty four, So I think
- 15:07Speaker 1: the Jets keep it a little bit closer. The Jets
- 15:10Speaker 1: played who last week and they lost the Patriots, and
- 15:15Speaker 1: I thought that they were going to keep this like
- 15:17Speaker 1: really fun thing going. I think they're gonna bounce back
- 15:19Speaker 1: from this game. They're gonna They're gonna play another New
- 15:22Speaker 1: York team right, very hard. Um, But it's Buffalo, Buffalo,
- 15:26Speaker 1: Buffalo will win. Also, it's it's at Jets home stadium.
- 15:30Speaker 1: Jets cover, Bills win. What do you like? I like
- 15:33Speaker 1: the Bills to win big. Zach Wilson looked a more
- 15:35Speaker 1: than yeah, like ginormous, like more than eleven and a half. Whoa,
- 15:41Speaker 1: Zach Wilson looked awful last week. I think they're gonna
- 15:43Speaker 1: struggle to put out points against um, the Bills. I
- 15:46Speaker 1: do think they are going to struggle to put up points.
- 15:48Speaker 1: But this Jets defense is pretty legit, and I feel
- 15:51Speaker 1: like this is a game where the Bills might take
- 15:53Speaker 1: their foot off the gas pedals in the Jets because
- 15:56Speaker 1: they're playing the Jets. And like, yeah, the Bills win big,
- 15:59Speaker 1: but like ten big, not eleven and a half, So
- 16:02Speaker 1: I'm taking the Jets to cover, even though I don't
- 16:05Speaker 1: think they really stand much of a chance of winning
- 16:06Speaker 1: this game. The Bills after the Jets have the Vikings,
- 16:09Speaker 1: the Browns, the Lions, Patriots, Jets again. Interesting. I don't know.
- 16:14Speaker 1: I just feel like New York, New York Bills can
- 16:16Speaker 1: kind of get up for that kind of stuff. Yeah,
- 16:17Speaker 1: and the Jets, like fans are hyped right now. They're
- 16:20Speaker 1: going to fill that stadium. Oh for sure, they will,
- 16:22Speaker 1: Absolutely they will. Okay, next one, Seattle at Arizona. Cardinals
- 16:28Speaker 1: are favored by only two and a favored against anyone ever.
- 16:33Speaker 1: I'm going Seahawks, babyty one twenty five. Graver and I
- 16:37Speaker 1: we we drew our line in the sand a couple
- 16:38Speaker 1: of weeks ago. We said we are not going with
- 16:40Speaker 1: the Cardinals for the rest of the season, and I
- 16:43Speaker 1: am holding strong on that. Listen to this. Geno Smith
- 16:47Speaker 1: NFC Offensive Player of the Month, Kenneth Walker, the third
- 16:51Speaker 1: Offensive Rookie of the Month, Tariq Woolen Defensive Rookie of
- 16:56Speaker 1: the Month. These are real awards. These no no no
- 17:01Speaker 1: hold on official Wow, damn dress. I got the red
- 17:12Speaker 1: car That means nothing. To you means everything. Would it
- 17:16Speaker 1: have made a difference if Mohun wore the freaking boat
- 17:19Speaker 1: tie I asked for it would have it would have
- 17:21Speaker 1: made a huge difference. But you're right, these are real
- 17:25Speaker 1: words that that the Seahawks are winning and like everyone
- 17:27Speaker 1: was like, I mean, I jumped on the Seahawks defense
- 17:30Speaker 1: is awful train and the defensive the shout out story one.
- 17:37Speaker 1: Also Cardinals, I cannot wait for the hot mess that
- 17:39Speaker 1: is going to be hard knocks to start. I cannot wait.
- 17:42Speaker 1: And I'm hoping that they're getting some footage now, like
- 17:45Speaker 1: I'm hoping they're getting some footage of like maybe the
- 17:47Speaker 1: Thursday football game between the Saints and the Cardinals and
- 17:50Speaker 1: that back and forth, and we're gonna be able to see,
- 17:52Speaker 1: like I cannot wait. Do we see November ninth, by
- 17:56Speaker 1: the way, that's next Wednesday. Who do we see Kyler
- 17:58Speaker 1: Murray play video games? Yes? Yes, I think I don't
- 18:02Speaker 1: think so. I don't think so. I think that they're
- 18:04Speaker 1: gonna that would be such a bad look. I hope so,
- 18:07Speaker 1: I know, but I don't I don't think we'll get that. Um, okay, right,
- 18:12Speaker 1: are you picking the Cardinals. I'm going Seahawks. All right,
- 18:14Speaker 1: so sweet sweep. I love it Rams Tampa Bay. The
- 18:18Speaker 1: Bucks are favored by three. This game is the one
- 18:21Speaker 1: that I'm scratching my head on the most. That's why
- 18:23Speaker 1: I kind of wanted to talk about it. I have
- 18:25Speaker 1: the Rams winning by one point, so I do have
- 18:29Speaker 1: hovering in Tampa Bay. Listen, Sean McVay came out or
- 18:31Speaker 1: something came out this week that said, basically, when his
- 18:34Speaker 1: core group of guys retires, and that's like, you know,
- 18:37Speaker 1: Matt Stafford, Coop, Aaron Donald, He's gone. And I think
- 18:43Speaker 1: a lot of people took issue with that because like,
- 18:45Speaker 1: there's a lot of other players on the team. There's
- 18:48Speaker 1: a lot of important people that you can care about
- 18:50Speaker 1: besides those like big stars, and so I feel like
- 18:54Speaker 1: if I was on the Rams, I'd be feeling a
- 18:56Speaker 1: little jaded right by that. So this whole Kimyers thing
- 19:00Speaker 1: is crazy. Why y'all they were like publicly trashing him
- 19:05Speaker 1: for being a bad teammate and whatever else they said,
- 19:07Speaker 1: and then they're trying to like desperately trade him, and
- 19:10Speaker 1: now they're saying like, no, we never tried to trade him,
- 19:12Speaker 1: and now they were saying they want him back and
- 19:14Speaker 1: Cam Akers is tweeting stuff like I missed football. I
- 19:18Speaker 1: just feel like the you're talking about the vibes, the
- 19:20Speaker 1: vibes in LA. I mean, I know the Bucks have struggled.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Is not here. I've literally gone back and forth like
- 19:28Speaker 1: three times from this game this week. My ultimate reasoning
- 19:31Speaker 1: was the Bucks played on Thursday night. They had a
- 19:33Speaker 1: long weekend to look at themselves and say, what the
- 19:36Speaker 1: heck are we doing wrong? And hopefully they can come
- 19:41Speaker 1: out in this game at home. Tom Brady's like doesn't
- 19:45Speaker 1: have to deal with the stress of knowing what's going
- 19:48Speaker 1: on as personal, Like it's out there now. Everyone knows
- 19:50Speaker 1: like they made an announcement, so now it's not just like, oh,
- 19:56Speaker 1: I make the announcement, like I'm not dealing with you.
- 19:58Speaker 1: He's going through of course he's still going through it.
- 20:00Speaker 1: But I think like this is the week the Bucks bounced,
- 20:04Speaker 1: but this is a bounce said that like seven times
- 20:06Speaker 1: already this season for the Buck. The Rams are struggling
- 20:09Speaker 1: so much. I'm very confident in my pick. What are
- 20:12Speaker 1: you going with the Bucks? You're confident? Yeah, that makes
- 20:15Speaker 1: me feel better about also taking the Bucks. Are they
- 20:17Speaker 1: winning by three? Are they winning by more, they're winning
- 20:19Speaker 1: by more than three. Yeah, I've got Buck Cup, Cooper
- 20:22Speaker 1: Cup is Yeah. He even play a lot of bad
- 20:25Speaker 1: vibes with Sean McVeigh, who's also very young. That would
- 20:28Speaker 1: throw me off if my coach who was very young
- 20:30Speaker 1: who just won a Super Bowl with is like when
- 20:32Speaker 1: I'm out with my core lead just I don't know why,
- 20:34Speaker 1: that's what. I don't know why he said. And the
- 20:36Speaker 1: Graver's point of Brady's marriage before. I think he announced
- 20:40Speaker 1: the divorce the day after they lost ye and he
- 20:43Speaker 1: clearly like during the game, he was like his mind
- 20:45Speaker 1: was somewhere else. Yeah, now he's it's off his shoulders
- 20:48Speaker 1: as he's gonna go out there. He was literally the
- 20:51Speaker 1: Grim Reaper for Halloween, did you guys? Yeah, he's gonna
- 20:55Speaker 1: be Okay, I'll switch my pick. I'm Box, I'll go
- 20:59Speaker 1: Bux to cover three swept it um okay, and then
- 21:02Speaker 1: Ravens Saints. I'm going Saints twenty four twenty one. Although
- 21:05Speaker 1: I don't feel good about that either. The Ravens just
- 21:07Speaker 1: had like a huge break. Eleven days off they played
- 21:10Speaker 1: Thursday night football. Now they played the Monday night football
- 21:12Speaker 1: game this week. Um, they just traded for Roquan Smith. Razy,
- 21:17Speaker 1: but like that's huge for their defense because their biggest weakness,
- 21:20Speaker 1: well they have trouble rushing the pastor, but their middle
- 21:22Speaker 1: linebacker play has not been good. What are you guys
- 21:24Speaker 1: going with in this game? I'm taking the I'm going
- 21:26Speaker 1: the Ravens. You're gonna go the Ravens. I was announced
- 21:28Speaker 1: on Thursday that Rashad Bateman would miss the rest of
- 21:31Speaker 1: the season, which I don't like, but Deshaun Jackson is
- 21:33Speaker 1: expected to make his first start. However, is DeShawn Jackson
- 21:37Speaker 1: still great? Isaiah likely? He's breaking out here? And Michael
- 21:42Speaker 1: Tis the Saints just be the Raiders. Twenty four nothing Raiders,
- 21:50Speaker 1: I get it. But then you also got to think
- 21:52Speaker 1: back to Thursday football against the Cars and Andy dull
- 21:55Speaker 1: them through a lot of picks, but a million touchdowns too,
- 21:58Speaker 1: and they put up thirty four points against the Cardinals. Saints.
- 22:02Speaker 1: I'm sticking with my saying, you can stick with them.
- 22:04Speaker 1: I think the Ravens are a lot better competition than
- 22:07Speaker 1: the Raiders or the Cardinals. Okay, that is that. Those
- 22:13Speaker 1: are our picks for this week. Coming up next week,
- 22:16Speaker 1: it's Mohun's minute, Baby, Get ready, buckle up. I don't
- 22:19Speaker 1: know what this is gonna be, but I know he's
- 22:20Speaker 1: going to jail for it anywhere. It's time vermohuns minute.
- 22:35Speaker 1: And you're already a little weary about this. I'm weary
- 22:38Speaker 1: every week, but that is true. But you're you're weary
- 22:40Speaker 1: every the opposite of Aaron Rodgers and leader as a leader,
- 22:43Speaker 1: so positive reinforcement helps. Do you actually think that? Yeah,
- 22:47Speaker 1: of course. Okay. So I went through a stretch like
- 22:50Speaker 1: a month ago where I went to three concerts in
- 22:52Speaker 1: four weeks, no big deal. And I want to ask
- 22:55Speaker 1: you guys what your biggest concert pet peeve is, because
- 22:59Speaker 1: when I got to when I go to concerts and
- 23:02Speaker 1: I'm on the floor and there's people in front of
- 23:04Speaker 1: me and they have their phones out and they're recording
- 23:07Speaker 1: the entire show, and I have like a little bit
- 23:10Speaker 1: of like concert add where like I end up watching
- 23:13Speaker 1: the show from their phone in front of me, which
- 23:17Speaker 1: I hate. That's your problem, no, But also so when
- 23:21Speaker 1: are you ever gonna rewatch the crappy video that you
- 23:26Speaker 1: took on your phone instead of being in the moment
- 23:28Speaker 1: and staying president. I get I get recording one song,
- 23:32Speaker 1: take thirty seconds of your favorite song, posted story, whatever
- 23:36Speaker 1: you can happen, use your eyes, and then you can
- 23:40Speaker 1: go on YouTube if you really want and watch the
- 23:43Speaker 1: most crap. I's never justin put her in. Justin. You
- 23:48Speaker 1: can't you go to a two hour concert, You go
- 23:53Speaker 1: to a two hour concert, you record for two hours straight.
- 23:56Speaker 1: You're telling us that you know you don't I have
- 24:00Speaker 1: a and then and then do you ever go back
- 24:04Speaker 1: and rewatch it? Listen? Sometimes I don't know what I
- 24:06Speaker 1: want to pose. I don't know why if I'm gonna
- 24:08Speaker 1: be feeling on one or track eight on the day
- 24:12Speaker 1: that I posed. Just be more present, be more present.
- 24:14Speaker 1: I agree with you, that is very, very annoying. You
- 24:17Speaker 1: know what I hate this happens at concert venues, that
- 24:20Speaker 1: this happens at movie theaters. I hate when the place
- 24:23Speaker 1: is so nasty that your feet stick to the ground,
- 24:27Speaker 1: like people have just been tossing around drinks. There was
- 24:30Speaker 1: one time I want to do a Drake concert and
- 24:32Speaker 1: I was sitting literally right in front of the stage,
- 24:33Speaker 1: and right in front of the stage, it was only
- 24:35Speaker 1: fold up chairs, and like I had had a couple
- 24:37Speaker 1: of drinks and I went to go. I there was
- 24:39Speaker 1: no way that way and there was no way that way.
- 24:42Speaker 1: The only way out was to step over a folding chair,
- 24:46Speaker 1: and so I stepped it closed on my leg and
- 24:49Speaker 1: then all of a sudden and Drake is right there
- 24:51Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh no, and everyone went and it
- 24:57Speaker 1: was really, did you? Did you word the whole thing
- 25:00Speaker 1: in your other hands? Later? TikTok and I would be
- 25:06Speaker 1: a TikTok star. I don't understand why would you pay
- 25:09Speaker 1: money to go to Did you go to use Harry's house? No? No, no?
- 25:13Speaker 1: He played forever at the Forum, though, I was like,
- 25:15Speaker 1: come on traffic. Every time people are still intense sell
- 25:19Speaker 1: out the Forum, I would think that's really hardy. My
- 25:22Speaker 1: is that people in LA especially but in general, don't
- 25:27Speaker 1: like stand and dance and cheer enough. If you're not
- 25:30Speaker 1: on the floor, everyone's just like sitting. And I'm like,
- 25:32Speaker 1: I didn't want to, like pay a million dollars to
- 25:34Speaker 1: be on the floor, but I wanted the other dance
- 25:37Speaker 1: and cheer. And if I stand up, nobody behind me
- 25:40Speaker 1: standing up. So now I'm just the guy everyone dance
- 25:43Speaker 1: like no one I've tried. I've tried that. I mean
- 25:46Speaker 1: I did it. I don't get booed, but it's just
- 25:48Speaker 1: like I do it. I dance for thirty seconds and
- 25:50Speaker 1: nobody around me stands up. Now I feel bad. I'm
- 25:51Speaker 1: blocking people's view behind me. It's like, come on, we're
- 25:53Speaker 1: at a concert, like enjoy yourself. Well, real quick, what
- 25:56Speaker 1: are the three shows that you went to? I can't
- 25:57Speaker 1: get over, so you'd rather watch the concert three your
- 26:00Speaker 1: phone then look up? Well, of course, and I won't change.
- 26:05Speaker 1: Oh no, I can't teach an old dog neutral. I
- 26:09Speaker 1: went to Alicia key Is, Kendrick Lamar, the Gorillas, and
- 26:18Speaker 1: I think that was it. Yeah, three three, yes, good math. Okay,
- 26:22Speaker 1: let's move on in a great minute, great five minutes
- 26:27Speaker 1: to think of. No, that was great. Okay, that's time
- 26:29Speaker 1: for the best thing I saw or heard of face.
- 26:32Speaker 1: First things first, I love spicy ta I love spicy
- 26:37Speaker 1: to a tongue of by loa. Do we have the sound?
- 26:41Speaker 1: Let's roll it, um boy. I think I've grown a
- 26:49Speaker 1: lot with the deep balls. Huh, don't think. Yeah, that's
- 26:56Speaker 1: a probably a subtle jab, but it was a I
- 27:01Speaker 1: love him? What kind of love about that guy? I
- 27:04Speaker 1: love it, but like it's also not a subtle jab.
- 27:07Speaker 1: When you say that, it's it's like that's how not
- 27:12Speaker 1: used to making jabs he is. It's like he has
- 27:14Speaker 1: to clarify this is a jab, just so everyone knows.
- 27:18Speaker 1: I love it. We are team two on this podcast.
- 27:21Speaker 1: The next thing that I love to see super Bowl.
- 27:24Speaker 1: This is what Sports Illustrated tweeted out this week's Super
- 27:26Speaker 1: Bowl ticket reservation prices for the Seahawks row is another
- 27:30Speaker 1: one hundred and six percent following Seattle's win over the Giants.
- 27:34Speaker 1: I watched that game. This game was so fun, and
- 27:37Speaker 1: if I were a true Seahawks fan, I probably would
- 27:40Speaker 1: have logged online and made a reservation myself. I get it.
- 27:44Speaker 1: They ran all over this team. It was so fun
- 27:46Speaker 1: to watch. The Seahawks are the team of the league.
- 27:50Speaker 1: Everyone whose team is not good this year, it should
- 27:52Speaker 1: just be like for this season, I'm rooting for the
- 27:54Speaker 1: Seahawks exactly. That's That's kind of how I'm feeling right now.
- 27:57Speaker 1: My chart is picking two and so hot. Finally, the
- 28:00Speaker 1: best thing that I saw Jerry Jones went was a
- 28:02Speaker 1: blind freaf on Halloween. This is spicy. How did he
- 28:05Speaker 1: not get in trouble is going on? Also? I love
- 28:10Speaker 1: that he's just rolling with a posse of ladies. Oh
- 28:13Speaker 1: he's Jerry Jara Jara Gara Jones. Um. I absolutely love that.
- 28:20Speaker 1: And then the worst thing I saw speaking of trades
- 28:23Speaker 1: in the trade deadline, Calvin Ridley is suspended in part
- 28:26Speaker 1: because he bet the Falcons to beat the Jags last
- 28:29Speaker 1: season and now he's on the Jags. This is just ridiculous, ironic.
- 28:36Speaker 1: I don't graver, Maybe you can explain it to me,
- 28:38Speaker 1: but why would they trade for him? He can't play
- 28:40Speaker 1: this year? That's spicy. And also his allegation like the
- 28:45Speaker 1: I mean, he'll be back and hopefully he learned his
- 28:47Speaker 1: lesson because he said he only bet like a thousand
- 28:49Speaker 1: dollars or something like that. Oh yeah, but yeah, this
- 28:54Speaker 1: is definitely like a we are not as good as
- 28:56Speaker 1: we thought we would be this year, so let's get
- 28:58Speaker 1: a weapon for next pon anything that we can's it's
- 29:01Speaker 1: funny there they traded for him and they're like, well,
- 29:03Speaker 1: we're gonna show you for betting against us. You're gonna
- 29:06Speaker 1: be now, you're gonna be with us forever. That's very funny.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Could you imagine that first phone call, like what was
- 29:12Speaker 1: talked about? Yeah, that's elephant the room. Okay, that is
- 29:15Speaker 1: our show. Everybody thank you for attending the award show,
- 29:18Speaker 1: Thanks for riding along. Shout out to the photographer that
- 29:22Speaker 1: probably took some brain in early about us today, She's like,
- 29:25Speaker 1: I'll come down, I'll come back. Well on, you can't
- 29:29Speaker 1: just ask a photographer if you're photogenic. What else are
- 29:33Speaker 1: they going to say? Besides yes, it's nice to hear,
- 29:37Speaker 1: getting I would have kicked around. It's nice to hear.
- 29:40Speaker 1: She seemed genuine when she said yeah, it seemed like
- 29:43Speaker 1: you were his fishing for compliments. Yes, me and he
- 29:46Speaker 1: didn't even you have the opportunity to wear a bow
- 29:48Speaker 1: tie and you're official, and I just don't have bow
- 29:51Speaker 1: ties in their call. And for that jail And on
- 29:55Speaker 1: that note, I'm worrying about that this weekend, that you're
- 29:58Speaker 1: ranting a day before a wedding when you're the best man. Truly,
- 30:03Speaker 1: why it's reserved? Did you give them your measurements? Of course? Okay,
- 30:08Speaker 1: this isn't why as I thought it was. I thought
- 30:11Speaker 1: you were going to roll into a tuch shot and
- 30:12Speaker 1: be like, hey, can I rent to pick up my
- 30:15Speaker 1: rental in Kansas City. I'm the best man in a
- 30:17Speaker 1: wedding in three weeks and I got my tux delivered
- 30:20Speaker 1: yesterday and I tried it on. I'm not going there
- 30:21Speaker 1: in the day before I have to return it, like you.
- 30:24Speaker 1: But what if something doesn't fit properly, then I will
- 30:27Speaker 1: look stupid at my cousin's wedding and we will show
- 30:30Speaker 1: photos of it on this podcast soon. Okay, that is it.
