- 1:33Speaker 1: warden looks like it. It does look like it, which
- 1:36Speaker 1: is a problem which we need to fix next week.
- 1:37Speaker 1: We need bars in front of this guy. We'll fix it.
- 1:41Speaker 1: So Mom, and just no, we don't. I don't want

- 2:16Speaker 1: dunk tank. Oh yeah, it absolutely is. Okay, you can
- 2:19Speaker 1: put Mohun back on the put him back on the moon, guys.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Week one is in the books. Right now as we
- 2:25Speaker 1: are recording, Thursday in Football is happening, and I gotta say,
- 2:28Speaker 1: the new set, the cast, the crew of Thursday Night
- 2:31Speaker 1: Football on Prime looks pretty dang good. Shout out to
- 2:34Speaker 1: my girl chriss at Thompson. She looks awesome too. What
- 2:36Speaker 1: a fun crew. This is gonna be a crazy game,
- 2:40Speaker 1: Chargers Chiefs. By the time you were listening to this,
- 2:42Speaker 1: it will have already been happened. So maybe just let's
- 2:46Speaker 1: do two different reactions. Oh my god, whoa what a game?
- 2:49Speaker 1: That was seventy five points for score? That was crazy,
- 2:53Speaker 1: right moment? Patrick Moms is really good. Padean Moms is
- 2:55Speaker 1: so good. Okay, no, let's do it. Wow, The Chargers defense.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, not even not even a single point
- 3:03Speaker 1: was scoring from a chiefe Patrick Mahomes. Nobody. Did we
- 3:05Speaker 1: go too extreme on these two reactions where there is
- 3:08Speaker 1: no in between. Either one of those things has to happen.
- 3:11Speaker 1: We're so excited to watch this game. But first things first,
- 3:14Speaker 1: there was a lot of viral moments that happened this week,
- 3:16Speaker 1: and that's what we like to talk about on this show.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Some things that went down during the week, we're going
- 3:20Speaker 1: to rehash them. I think one of the biggest things
- 3:23Speaker 1: that happened this week was just like every single person
- 3:27Speaker 1: and their grandmother hating on Russell Wilson. He got booed
- 3:33Speaker 1: when he was entering Seattle's home. Can we hear that? Please?
- 3:51Speaker 1: I can't believe they booed him. Oh look at the faces.
- 3:59Speaker 1: It's one thing to get booed literally anywhere, but to
- 4:03Speaker 1: get booed there at that stadium he brought them Super Bowls.
- 4:09Speaker 1: I didn't think that he was gonna have any did
- 4:12Speaker 1: any of you guys expect this. Obviously we're not Seahawks
- 4:15Speaker 1: fans and we don't know what they're feeling, but I
- 4:18Speaker 1: do not expect I thought that it was gonna be
- 4:21Speaker 1: I don't know, he didn't leave like middle finger to
- 4:23Speaker 1: the sky. He deserved more than that. I think he
- 4:26Speaker 1: deserved a little bit more respect. What do you think, Well,
- 4:28Speaker 1: I agree, I wish that they gave him like a
- 4:30Speaker 1: video tribute situation, just something. It's like one little pest
- 4:34Speaker 1: started it and then it just erupted like the wave,
- 4:37Speaker 1: which I also hate if they gave him a video tribute,
- 4:39Speaker 1: Like who does that really hurt at the end of
- 4:41Speaker 1: the day. Yeah. Also, he's not a polarizing figure, like
- 4:47Speaker 1: he's dorky, but like he's a lovable dork, which leads
- 4:51Speaker 1: me to maybe one of my favorite segments that we've
- 4:54Speaker 1: done in a while. I want to talk about who
- 4:57Speaker 1: is the most bullied quarterback in the league, and I've
- 5:01Speaker 1: I've got a little power ranking situation set up, so
- 5:04Speaker 1: let's quickly go through them. Number one, it's gotta be Russ.
- 5:07Speaker 1: But he doesn't help himself with the let's ride and
- 5:10Speaker 1: the I was going through his TikTok. Just do yourself
- 5:14Speaker 1: a favor, you guys listening at home, if you got TikTok,
- 5:18Speaker 1: just go peruse his TikTok. You know it's gonna be bad.
- 5:21Speaker 1: Russell Wilson on TikTok just full of laughs, dance, there's dancing.
- 5:25Speaker 1: There's a lot of dancing. So I don't even think
- 5:28Speaker 1: I need to say anymore. Would you guys agree? Number
- 5:30Speaker 1: one Russell Wilson most bullied. If this is current right now,
- 5:34Speaker 1: I do agree you, Okay, I think I think, yes,
- 5:37Speaker 1: we're talking bullied after week one. But I do think
- 5:40Speaker 1: he kind of takes the cake across the board this
- 5:42Speaker 1: whole offseason. This whole off season has been brutal, and
- 5:45Speaker 1: he's taken it in stride. I do still like him.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Number two. This could be after week one. This could
- 5:51Speaker 1: also be of just now, I gotta go Jared Goff.
- 5:55Speaker 1: It was happening on the Rams, Like, I feel like
- 5:57Speaker 1: we got an extra glimpse into his life when they
- 6:00Speaker 1: were on Hard Knocks and just seeing his whole vibe.
- 6:03Speaker 1: Although he did have a really sweet golf set up
- 6:05Speaker 1: in his backyard on Hard Knocks. If you guys remember
- 6:06Speaker 1: back when he was with the Ram, Yeah, they didn't
- 6:09Speaker 1: give him any love really well, because I think that
- 6:11Speaker 1: he's just been roasted so much in his life that
- 6:13Speaker 1: he's like, I don't want to do that. I don't
- 6:15Speaker 1: I don't want anyone to know me anymore. Yeah, so
- 6:17Speaker 1: I'm going Jared Goff number two. Agree. I don't know
- 6:20Speaker 1: if I think he belongs on this list, but we'll
- 6:22Speaker 1: get to some guys that I think maybe, oh, okay,
- 6:26Speaker 1: you came prepared. I love this, okay. And then number three,
- 6:29Speaker 1: not in any particular order. I just feel like these
- 6:31Speaker 1: guys get it the worst Kirk Cousins you like. Obviously
- 6:36Speaker 1: Carson wentz on the Eagles and then went to the Colts,
- 6:39Speaker 1: and now he's on the Commander as he's just always
- 6:42Speaker 1: gonna get it. I feel bad for him too. And
- 6:44Speaker 1: then also like guys, honestly, maybe we should just put
- 6:46Speaker 1: Baker number one. I think Baker should go. People love
- 6:50Speaker 1: to hate Baker Mayfield, doesn't matter if he's I feel
- 6:54Speaker 1: like the better he did last year on the Browns,
- 6:56Speaker 1: just the worst it all got when he was chugging
- 6:59Speaker 1: beers at that baseball game. Who cares people? The commercial
- 7:02Speaker 1: A lot of people cared the commercials. Don't even get
- 7:05Speaker 1: me started. He's not on commercials this year so far.
- 7:08Speaker 1: So far, I guess do you think that they've got
- 7:10Speaker 1: some stockpiled and they're gonna start, Well, they definitely. They
- 7:13Speaker 1: said that he's not They didn't do anymore like progressive
- 7:16Speaker 1: at home with Baker Mayfield. They didn't. There's no more
- 7:18Speaker 1: of those plans. Not a shame because he's a great actor.
- 7:21Speaker 1: I agree. They asked him about um he had five
- 7:26Speaker 1: balls batted down at the line a week one against
- 7:28Speaker 1: the Browns, and they asked, what's what's he gonna do
- 7:30Speaker 1: to rectify that against the Giants in week two? And
- 7:33Speaker 1: he said, I'm gonna lay on my bed, lay on
- 7:35Speaker 1: an inverted table, a little bit, stretch out, get taller,
- 7:37Speaker 1: thanks Mom and Dad. And I relate to that because
- 7:40Speaker 1: he's also a short king and shout out shart kings,
- 7:44Speaker 1: and you can't hate on him because it's not his fault.
- 7:47Speaker 1: He's not that tall. And I'm glad he has a
- 7:49Speaker 1: sense of humor about it. He has the sense of humor. Listen,
- 7:51Speaker 1: if you are actively hating Baker Mayfield at your like
- 7:54Speaker 1: just in your life, you're wasting so much time. He's
- 7:57Speaker 1: so fun to love, So hop on board. Okay, who
- 7:59Speaker 1: have I missed on this last? So I would put
- 8:01Speaker 1: Baker and Wentz above golf. I do think golf gets
- 8:04Speaker 1: like unfairly critic like people treat him like he's the
- 8:06Speaker 1: worst quarterback in the league when he's probably like league average. Yeah,
- 8:10Speaker 1: but Wentz gets the same deal. And I think Wentz
- 8:13Speaker 1: is a little better than Golf. He makes those backbreaking mistakes,
- 8:16Speaker 1: but he had a great debut for Washington. He did
- 8:18Speaker 1: throw two pretty terrible yeah, but over three hundred four touchdowns.
- 8:23Speaker 1: And Baker too, and then some other guys just to
- 8:25Speaker 1: put on the list lower down, Joe Flacco has been
- 8:28Speaker 1: for years. Is he elite? Has been like the biggest
- 8:32Speaker 1: quarterback meme? Yes? And I also think Tyreek Hill his
- 8:37Speaker 1: comments over the offseason resulted in maybe unintentional to a bullying.
- 8:41Speaker 1: I feel like people have been bullying too even before
- 8:43Speaker 1: that too, Like just like Wonderer Kid coming into the league,
- 8:47Speaker 1: everyone was expecting so much of him and then he
- 8:49Speaker 1: hasn't really shown us what he showed us in college yet,
- 8:52Speaker 1: so I think people were just like already jumping on
- 8:54Speaker 1: him before that stuff. Motor Did I miss anybody? No,
- 8:57Speaker 1: I agree with the two. I'm glad he one week one,
- 9:00Speaker 1: but okay, well let us know at home if we
- 9:02Speaker 1: have missed anybody that should be on the most bullied lists.
- 9:06Speaker 1: Just be a little eyebully secretly okay, And then on
- 9:09Speaker 1: the opposite end of that, I wanted to do another
- 9:11Speaker 1: power ranking of the opposite of those quarterbacks, who has
- 9:15Speaker 1: the most swag, who's like you're staying away from on
- 9:18Speaker 1: the playground because you're like, this is the popular kid,
- 9:20Speaker 1: this is this is this guy's too cool, he's got
- 9:22Speaker 1: so much swag. Number one. After week one, we got
- 9:25Speaker 1: to get our guy, Geno Smith on their game debut,
- 9:29Speaker 1: and with Greg Rosenthal, we both love this guy so
- 9:32Speaker 1: much that postgame presser, do we have this guy's sound?
- 9:37Speaker 1: Let's play it if we do. For the folks, you said, hey, britten,
- 9:41Speaker 1: you off? Maybe what do you say to them? Yeah,
- 9:43Speaker 1: they wrote me off. I ain't right back though, that's
- 9:46Speaker 1: the problem. All I'm right back. Let's go all right, fratulations.
- 9:49Speaker 1: You know, somebody has to bring him onto a song.
- 9:52Speaker 1: And that's just like, it's just such a great line,
- 9:55Speaker 1: such a great bar. It needs to it belongs somewhere
- 9:57Speaker 1: that we can just hear it over and over again.
- 9:59Speaker 1: It's so good. I started to write a poem with
- 10:03Speaker 1: that at the beginning, and I was like, I can't,
- 10:04Speaker 1: I can't ruin it. I can't make it bad because
- 10:08Speaker 1: it's so good. So Geno Smith, you are on the
- 10:11Speaker 1: top of our popularity list right now. Number two Pat
- 10:15Speaker 1: Mahomes just always up there because of his swag. Like
- 10:17Speaker 1: even he could have a bad week, but like the
- 10:19Speaker 1: underhand tosses, he's just too cool. He's too cool for school.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Uh you know he's not. He's not going on TikTok's
- 10:26Speaker 1: like his brother. He doesn't need any of that stuff.
- 10:28Speaker 1: He's just showing up playing ball and he doesn't care.
- 10:30Speaker 1: So Patrick Roomes is just gonna always stay in the
- 10:31Speaker 1: top three. To me, and then number three I put
- 10:35Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. There's just a level of swag to him
- 10:40Speaker 1: that like doesn't need an agent, doesn't need to like
- 10:44Speaker 1: hires his mom to take care of his business, like
- 10:47Speaker 1: just just so confident that he's going to continually kill it.
- 10:51Speaker 1: He's just like, I'm gonna make my money, no problem.
- 10:53Speaker 1: I got my mom handling it. That's a that's a
- 10:55Speaker 1: level of swag that you know none of us will
- 10:58Speaker 1: ever reach. I really wanted to put Josh Allen on
- 11:02Speaker 1: this board, and obviously he bawled out on thres in football,
- 11:05Speaker 1: and I can't wait to watch them again. This weekend.
- 11:07Speaker 1: But there's something about him that I don't I couldn't
- 11:10Speaker 1: really describe as swaggy. Like maybe he's just because he
- 11:13Speaker 1: plays for Buffalo. He's got this like boy boy face
- 11:17Speaker 1: and he reminds me of a kid that I like
- 11:19Speaker 1: went to high school with my like small ass town
- 11:21Speaker 1: of Orno, Ontario, you know what I mean? Like does
- 11:23Speaker 1: it does it say swag to you? I think Josh
- 11:26Speaker 1: Allen should be number one on the list. I think
- 11:29Speaker 1: Joe Burrow should be number one on the list after
- 11:31Speaker 1: week one. Yeah, I mean sure week one he if
- 11:35Speaker 1: that extra point doesn't get blocked. I think if Fitzpatrick,
- 11:38Speaker 1: the narrative this past week is Joe Burrow like plays
- 11:42Speaker 1: through adversity, overcome so many interceptions and leads him to
- 11:46Speaker 1: a win. Did you see his outfit though pregame? His
- 11:49Speaker 1: outfits are ridiculous, but he wears them with such confidence
- 11:52Speaker 1: that I think that's where the swag factor. But here's
- 11:54Speaker 1: the problem of some of his outfits are crazy, and
- 11:57Speaker 1: I'll give you that. But before last week rolled in
- 12:00Speaker 1: like a T shirt and I was just like, Oh,
- 12:02Speaker 1: something's off. Something's off. Maybe that's a wide brimmed hats,
- 12:06Speaker 1: razor thin sunglass, smoking cigars in the locker room, Like,
- 12:10Speaker 1: come on, let's guys swagging. But here's the thing we're
- 12:12Speaker 1: talking about after week one, so I'm not putting Joe
- 12:15Speaker 1: bur on that list. Let me go back to Josh
- 12:17Speaker 1: after the stiff arm in week one, Den Devon Singletary
- 12:20Speaker 1: told the media afterwards that Josh Allen was laughing the
- 12:23Speaker 1: entire time, Like while he was doing the stiff number one,
- 12:30Speaker 1: I thought of a quarterback that we didn't mention getting bullied,
- 12:34Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. But he still gets bullied a lot. You're right,
- 12:40Speaker 1: You're right, he does take it, but I feel like
- 12:42Speaker 1: he he puts it out, like he stop playing video games.
- 12:46Speaker 1: The letter with your yeah, that's about ou quarterbacks. I
- 12:50Speaker 1: just yeah, I don't know. Okay, guys, let us know.
- 12:53Speaker 1: If our power rankings are way off, you can bully
- 12:56Speaker 1: me for leaving Josh Allen off that list. Okay, Buffalo,
- 12:58Speaker 1: I'm ready for it. Okay, And one more thing before
- 13:01Speaker 1: we go to break, let's get a gossip update. It's
- 13:06Speaker 1: time for bench Buzz. We're bringing you all the hottest
- 13:11Speaker 1: goss from the NFL world. Let's go live to our
- 13:14Speaker 1: feature correspondent Rachel Bonetta. This is quickly becoming my favorite
- 13:19Speaker 1: part of show. It's so good. Okay, so we've got
- 13:24Speaker 1: some Justisell and Tom updates for you. Okay. Giselle was
- 13:27Speaker 1: interviewed I think by el So someone like fashion. Yes,
- 13:30Speaker 1: it was l She's looking beautiful, she's like gorgeous. She
- 13:31Speaker 1: was riding a motorcycle. She actually spoke about Tom coming
- 13:36Speaker 1: out of retirement, which I thought was kind of crazy
- 13:38Speaker 1: because they've both been hush hush about this whole thing,
- 13:41Speaker 1: and you would think if things are, if they're trying
- 13:44Speaker 1: to mend things. I don't know, it's like maybe I
- 13:48Speaker 1: was a PR representative in a past life. I would say,
- 13:50Speaker 1: like everything's following, everything's following, everything's fine, Like get us
- 13:53Speaker 1: all to shut up, get get bench with Bonetta, to
- 13:56Speaker 1: stop doing the gossip update Bench Buzz needs to be
- 14:00Speaker 1: no longer a thing. But she's just feeding the machine.
- 14:02Speaker 1: Giselle is She said I would like him to be
- 14:05Speaker 1: more present. I have definitely had those conversations with him
- 14:09Speaker 1: over and over again, not just a one over again,
- 14:14Speaker 1: over and over again. I think this is so spicy.
- 14:20Speaker 1: This tells me that she things are dicey. And she
- 14:24Speaker 1: left and Tom chased after her and tried to and
- 14:26Speaker 1: now she's just like you know, when somebody is clearly
- 14:31Speaker 1: in the wrong in the relationship, that other person just
- 14:34Speaker 1: gains this like automatic power and it's like, well, I
- 14:36Speaker 1: can do whatever I want. Yeah, you're gonna make me dinner, okay,
- 14:40Speaker 1: and there's no if ann's or butts about it. I
- 14:42Speaker 1: feel like this is Giselle's in that mode right now. Yeah,
- 14:44Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to Ellen. I'm gonna tell them how
- 14:46Speaker 1: I'm really feeling. So she is in her zone. And
- 14:50Speaker 1: then I thought this was spicy as well. Tom on
- 14:54Speaker 1: Monday post Sunday Night football, post the win against the Cowboys,
- 14:59Speaker 1: this is what he said. I woke up Monday and
- 15:01Speaker 1: was like, holy bleep. You look at your arm and
- 15:04Speaker 1: you got bruises, you got cuts, and you go, okay,
- 15:07Speaker 1: how much longer do I want to make this commitment?
- 15:11Speaker 1: Is he gonna retire mid season? No? Right, that's but
- 15:18Speaker 1: this is telling me that it might happen to the
- 15:22Speaker 1: Saints or something. I am. I'm sorry, I'm team Giselle
- 15:26Speaker 1: this week. I'm team Giselle all the way. But if
- 15:29Speaker 1: this is how Tom Brady goes out, that is gonna
- 15:32Speaker 1: bum me out. Really girl power. Sure it would have
- 15:37Speaker 1: been girl power if Tom retired and stayed retired, because
- 15:41Speaker 1: that would have been the right thing to do. If
- 15:43Speaker 1: this is actually really upsetting your wife and your family, Yeah,
- 15:46Speaker 1: stay retired now now you're here, And for Giselle, if
- 15:50Speaker 1: I was in Giselle's position, I'd be like, you better
- 15:53Speaker 1: go and win another Super Bowl. If you're doing all
- 15:55Speaker 1: of this crap now, you better go make it worth
- 15:58Speaker 1: it and prove it to me why you went back.
- 16:00Speaker 1: If you go back and created all of this tension,
- 16:02Speaker 1: in all this drama and then you retire mid season,
- 16:06Speaker 1: that's not gonna be a good look. I think this
- 16:08Speaker 1: Giselle interview is also some pr control, Like she knows
- 16:13Speaker 1: everyone knows Tom Brady is so popular and so loved
- 16:16Speaker 1: by the football community and so well respected that she's
- 16:19Speaker 1: got to get out there and be like, look, you
- 16:21Speaker 1: know I have you know, a valid what I'm saying
- 16:24Speaker 1: is valid, and here's the reasons why you think she's
- 16:26Speaker 1: getting like well, football fans were also ruthless online and
- 16:29Speaker 1: on social media. I'm sure she's just getting a slew
- 16:31Speaker 1: of like just let Tom play, don't ruin this for
- 16:35Speaker 1: us he's the greatest athlete we've ever seen. She's also
- 16:38Speaker 1: a superstar, so she needed to put her foot down
- 16:41Speaker 1: and I love that. We're Team Giselle. Okay, we're gonna
- 16:44Speaker 1: keep you guys updated with bench Buzz. It is my
- 16:47Speaker 1: favorite part of the show. I'm not gonna lie. Okay.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Coming up, we are going to do Pick six. We're
- 16:51Speaker 1: breaking down six of our favorite games on the sleigh.
- 16:54Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere we'll get Tonight, it's time for Pick six,
- 17:06Speaker 1: presented by DraftKings Sports Books. Every single week, we are
- 17:09Speaker 1: going to break down six of our favorite games from
- 17:12Speaker 1: the slate. This is rude. Whoever put in we only
- 17:16Speaker 1: this is six out of however many games there were.
- 17:18Speaker 1: But you guys just chose to put this in my face.
- 17:21Speaker 1: I went two and four last week. My one and
- 17:24Speaker 1: justin you both went four and two. That's right, that's right.
- 17:27Speaker 1: But I just want to say I was the only
- 17:29Speaker 1: one that wasn't super chalky. I was making some predictions,
- 17:31Speaker 1: I was making some moves. I picked the Lions last week.
- 17:34Speaker 1: Oh it doesn't look so dumb. Now. If we had
- 17:37Speaker 1: been picking against the spread last week, you would have
- 17:39Speaker 1: done better. But we last week, we were picking straight up,
- 17:43Speaker 1: but we're changing things to help you this week. Okay,
- 17:45Speaker 1: well we will adjust the standings accordingly, all right. Game
- 17:49Speaker 1: one Colts at Jags, Jags the underdogs. Colts are favored
- 17:53Speaker 1: by three and a half points. I gotta go Colts here.
- 17:58Speaker 1: I know that they're gonna have like a weird little
- 18:00Speaker 1: like that last game to knock them out of the
- 18:03Speaker 1: playoffs last season against the Jags and they lost like uh,
- 18:06Speaker 1: and then last week that was a weird game also,
- 18:11Speaker 1: Mattie Ice, Jonathan Taylor, they got to start cooking here.
- 18:15Speaker 1: I am going Colts. Also, I don't know if you
- 18:18Speaker 1: guys saw Trevor Lawrence's like pump up speech before the
- 18:22Speaker 1: Jags took the field maybe last week. It was the
- 18:24Speaker 1: worst thing I've ever seen. I highly recommend googling. Hey, guys,
- 18:28Speaker 1: let's go out there and lets it was atrocious. What
- 18:32Speaker 1: are you guys going with? Mohan? You go first. I'm
- 18:35Speaker 1: gonna go with the Colts as well. I think they're
- 18:37Speaker 1: gonna get a little revenge. He mus be a blowout.
- 18:40Speaker 1: Mattie Ice is gonna feel comfortable. I love that, justin
- 18:43Speaker 1: I just saw your pick. The Jags are winning this game. Wow.
- 18:49Speaker 1: Not only will they cover the three and a half points,
- 18:52Speaker 1: they're winning this game. Frank Greik has never won as
- 18:54Speaker 1: the head coach of the Colts in Jacksonville. Never. That's crazy.
- 18:58Speaker 1: That's crazy, right, yeah, first time for any There's some
- 19:01Speaker 1: voodoo going on when the Colts go to Jacksonville. And
- 19:04Speaker 1: I am just such a biased tater against the Colts
- 19:07Speaker 1: because of my Titans fandom. O God all comes out.
- 19:10Speaker 1: But I really, I really think the Jaguars last week
- 19:14Speaker 1: they could have beat the Commanders, who are probably not
- 19:17Speaker 1: as good as the Colts, but they got in the
- 19:19Speaker 1: red zone multiple times. Lawrence overthrew Etn on a shirt touchdown,
- 19:24Speaker 1: Etn dropped a fourth down that was a shirt touchdown.
- 19:27Speaker 1: Like they had their chance, they were moving the ball.
- 19:28Speaker 1: They made the comeback in that game, and then they
- 19:30Speaker 1: just couldn't close it out. You're out of your mind.
- 19:33Speaker 1: I do not think the Colts are as good a
- 19:35Speaker 1: team as everyone thinks, and I think the Jaguars are
- 19:37Speaker 1: gonna pull this up. Last year they were so good.
- 19:40Speaker 1: They just had the one wonky game at the end
- 19:41Speaker 1: that all made us all like scratching our heads. I
- 19:44Speaker 1: guess they've got a new They went owing two against
- 19:46Speaker 1: Titans last year. Okay, we're moving on. Game two, Commanders
- 19:50Speaker 1: at Lions. Lions are the favorite. They're only favorite by
- 19:54Speaker 1: one point, but um, I am going Lions. Y'all were
- 19:57Speaker 1: looking at me like I was a crazy person last
- 19:59Speaker 1: week taking the Lions over the Eagles, and guess what,
- 20:02Speaker 1: they almost freaking did it. Baby, they almost did it.
- 20:05Speaker 1: This team's got fight. I'm going lines over the Commanders. Commanders,
- 20:11Speaker 1: I know that Carson went through four touchdowns last week.
- 20:14Speaker 1: He also had two picks. It was also against the Jags,
- 20:19Speaker 1: So no, correct, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go with
- 20:22Speaker 1: the Lions as well. This is the first time they
- 20:24Speaker 1: favored in a football game since twenty twenty. That which
- 20:27Speaker 1: warms my heart and makes me they deserve this. That
- 20:29Speaker 1: makes me think that I stop it. I am picking
- 20:36Speaker 1: the Lions with reservations because, like, I love the underdog
- 20:40Speaker 1: mentality that the Lions have. Ye but now that they're
- 20:43Speaker 1: not underdog, I'm picking the lines. But it scares me.
- 20:50Speaker 1: I'm excited for this game. Actually, Okay. Game three Dolphins
- 20:53Speaker 1: at Ravens. Ravens are favored by three and a half.
- 20:55Speaker 1: Listen to this. The last time these two teams played
- 21:00Speaker 1: in Baltimore was like twenty seventeen and Miami lost that
- 21:04Speaker 1: game forty two nothing, didn't put a single score on
- 21:11Speaker 1: that board. I am taking the Dolphins to cover. I'm
- 21:15Speaker 1: taking them to keep it close. But I do think
- 21:18Speaker 1: that the Ravens are gonna win. MO. What do you got,
- 21:19Speaker 1: I'm going Dolphins with the upset. It's two a time
- 21:23Speaker 1: they got Hill, Mike McDaniel, the Patriots, they got their confidence.
- 21:28Speaker 1: I'm also going with the Dolphins to cover this. But
- 21:31Speaker 1: it makes me nervous that we all picked the Dolphins
- 21:33Speaker 1: because the Ravens are good. But the last time, the
- 21:36Speaker 1: last time they played, not in Baltimore, but just last year,
- 21:39Speaker 1: the Dolphins defense went with a crazy They played cover
- 21:43Speaker 1: zero and blitzed on like I think at the time.
- 21:46Speaker 1: Last year was the highest percentage of of blitzes on
- 21:49Speaker 1: for the season. Maybe bigger than that, it was a
- 21:51Speaker 1: crazy number of blitzes and the Ravens offense had no
- 21:54Speaker 1: answer for it. The same defensive coordinator in Miami and
- 22:00Speaker 1: though they changed. Maybe Ravens will have a plan this Yeah,
- 22:03Speaker 1: they maybe they will. Also, I'm nervous that we all
- 22:05Speaker 1: picked the Dolphins, but I do think they will cover this.
- 22:07Speaker 1: Ohoy okay, next game Bucks at Saints. The Bucks are
- 22:10Speaker 1: favored by two and a half, and I have them
- 22:13Speaker 1: covering that number, just like we were talking about in
- 22:16Speaker 1: bench buzz. Tom's got to prove it. Tom's got to
- 22:18Speaker 1: prove why he is still showing up on Monday with
- 22:21Speaker 1: the bruises and the cuts and the everything. And Jamis
- 22:25Speaker 1: is still talking about his extremities and the end of
- 22:30Speaker 1: the risk equals the leg and what was he even
- 22:32Speaker 1: talking about the other day. I don't know. I know
- 22:35Speaker 1: everyone's excited about the Saints this season, and so am I,
- 22:37Speaker 1: but I'm going Bucks here. I'm going the Saints to
- 22:39Speaker 1: cover the entire Bucks roster. I feel like is on
- 22:42Speaker 1: the injury report. And I don't think um Brady has
- 22:45Speaker 1: ever beat this a Saints team when he's in the
- 22:48Speaker 1: regular season away no, like against the Saints. Bucks have
- 22:52Speaker 1: not beat the Saints with Tom Brady at quarterback. Thank
- 22:55Speaker 1: you stepped for the playoff game. But which game really mattered? Yeah?
- 23:00Speaker 1: That game didn't matter the most. I got the Saints
- 23:01Speaker 1: covering two though two and a half points Saints defense
- 23:03Speaker 1: frustrates Timbray. I don't know what it is, but I
- 23:05Speaker 1: think they can do that. That'll be an exciting game
- 23:07Speaker 1: as well. Okay, Chris Godwin, is he playing like there's
- 23:09Speaker 1: a lot of interest from everyone's hurt? Okay? Maybe Seahawks
- 23:13Speaker 1: at forty nine Ers. This is the most disrespectful line
- 23:17Speaker 1: of the week where disrespect The forty nine Ers are
- 23:21Speaker 1: favored by eight and a half at home. I get it,
- 23:24Speaker 1: they're at home. What did we see from the forty
- 23:27Speaker 1: nine Ers last week that we didn't see from the Seahawks?
- 23:29Speaker 1: That's making that what's going on in Vegas that this
- 23:33Speaker 1: is happening? I don't get it. Gino bald Out, it
- 23:36Speaker 1: was so much fun to watch him play the forty
- 23:38Speaker 1: nine ers. What did we see from Trey? Not much?
- 23:41Speaker 1: They were they were in a swamp the entire time.
- 23:44Speaker 1: Guess what, It's raining again at home this week, but
- 23:48Speaker 1: not a monsoon. Does I feel like this is what
- 23:52Speaker 1: the line was? You know, if you had look ahead
- 23:54Speaker 1: lines before they played Week one games, this line forgot. Yeah,
- 23:59Speaker 1: But like so, I mean, I think the Vegas formula
- 24:02Speaker 1: is like they don't overreact too much to one week.
- 24:04Speaker 1: But this is a whole new season and we had
- 24:06Speaker 1: preconceived notions that may not be true. I think the
- 24:10Speaker 1: Seahawks could win this game. They're definitely covering eight and
- 24:13Speaker 1: a half points. This is a crazy line one. I'm
- 24:17Speaker 1: going the Niners are gonna cover. They're gonna blow. You
- 24:20Speaker 1: believe in Treylans I do. I believe in Shanahan. I
- 24:22Speaker 1: think they're gonna make adjustments and they're gonna They're kidd
- 24:26Speaker 1: playing in this game. He did that practice yet not great? Interesting,
- 24:30Speaker 1: they don't need them? Interesting Mahan? Interesting, Okay. And then
- 24:33Speaker 1: the final game Bengals at Cowboys. Oh, Cowboys have just
- 24:36Speaker 1: been riddled with some bad news the past few years.
- 24:40Speaker 1: Dak Dak Prescott obviously out for this game and other games.
- 24:43Speaker 1: Bengals are favored by seven. They had such a bad game,
- 24:47Speaker 1: Joe Burrow had such a bad game, Like he can't
- 24:49Speaker 1: this can't happen again, right, He's got he's got to
- 24:52Speaker 1: show up with a nice, clean, crisp outfit. He's got
- 24:55Speaker 1: a ball out Um. The Cowboys didn't do great against
- 24:58Speaker 1: the Bucks. I feel like they're a totally stoppable team.
- 25:01Speaker 1: What are you guys going with? I'm going with the
- 25:03Speaker 1: Bengals to cover. I think I justin mentioned this earlier
- 25:07Speaker 1: he had five turnovers. Brow had five turnovers, and he
- 25:09Speaker 1: still put the team in position to win twice if
- 25:11Speaker 1: it wasn't for an extra point. I think they're going
- 25:13Speaker 1: to be more polish, ready to go. That is fair,
- 25:16Speaker 1: and I think the Bengals will be a lot better
- 25:18Speaker 1: this week. But I'm their offensive line concerns me. And
- 25:22Speaker 1: if the Cowboys do one thing well, it's rushed the
- 25:24Speaker 1: passer with Micah Parsons and that defensive line. But guess what,
- 25:28Speaker 1: look at look at Joe Burrow. He got mangled all
- 25:31Speaker 1: last year and he still ended up being in the
- 25:33Speaker 1: super Bowl. And I feel like this is tell me
- 25:36Speaker 1: if this is totally dumb. He got all of this
- 25:38Speaker 1: protection in this offseason right because he got so messed up. Well,
- 25:41Speaker 1: they signed guys, but they didn't look any better last week.
- 25:44Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is maybe he's just so used
- 25:46Speaker 1: to all of this pressure that he is great at
- 25:49Speaker 1: just like flinging it really quickly, and he had maybe
- 25:52Speaker 1: like a little bit more time this past week, or
- 25:54Speaker 1: he's just getting used to having a different a line
- 25:57Speaker 1: protecting him and that's why he threw so many interceptions.
- 26:00Speaker 1: Do think that there's something to that, and Burrow is
- 26:02Speaker 1: really good under pressure and navigating the pocket. But he
- 26:05Speaker 1: still took seven sex last week. And I think that.
- 26:09Speaker 1: I think the Bengals are gonna win this game, but
- 26:11Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys defense is going to keep it
- 26:13Speaker 1: close long enough that seven points is just too big
- 26:17Speaker 1: of a number. I love it, Cowboys plus seven. I
- 26:20Speaker 1: love the drama. Okay, this is a nice a nice
- 26:22Speaker 1: mix here. This is gonna be fun. Who is gonna
- 26:25Speaker 1: come out on top? Next week we shall see Drafting
- 26:27Speaker 1: sports Book as an official sports betting partner of the NFL.

- 26:35Speaker 1: All right, it is time for the debut of Mohan's Minute.
- 26:39Speaker 1: After this, have you just been sweating it out over there?
- 26:43Speaker 1: A new segment coming up after the break. Don't go anywhere. Okay,
- 26:54Speaker 1: I'm nervous. I'm nervous. I'm nervous. It is time for
- 26:58Speaker 1: Mohan's Minute. Every week, Mohan's gonna get about a minute
- 27:02Speaker 1: or five if he disobeys the rules. Uh, and you're
- 27:06Speaker 1: gonna have some takes. We don't know what these takes are.
- 27:09Speaker 1: Graver and I have got our finger on the hot
- 27:11Speaker 1: button of jail, So just just be wary that you
- 27:15Speaker 1: could potentially be out of here. Are what are your takes? All? Right? Well,
- 27:21Speaker 1: I'd like to open this up with I'm in the
- 27:24Speaker 1: business of not hot takes, but the right take. So
- 27:28Speaker 1: I'm gonna start those off with the NFL take. Okay,
- 27:30Speaker 1: And Aaron Rodgers is getting a lot of crap for
- 27:33Speaker 1: being mean to his receivers. His receivers aren't good and
- 27:36Speaker 1: they're young. Ye, I think he should take the kill
- 27:38Speaker 1: him with kindness approach. I understand that he's MVP caliber player,
- 27:43Speaker 1: he is a lot writing on his career. Uh, he
- 27:46Speaker 1: needs another Super Bowl to like solidify, you know, his
- 27:49Speaker 1: Hall of Fame stuff. But I think, don't don't be
- 27:52Speaker 1: out there being like my patience is gonna wear thin.
- 27:55Speaker 1: How's that gonna make anyone feel better? They're nervous already
- 27:58Speaker 1: coming in playing with him. Just be nice. That's such
- 28:05Speaker 1: a Disney take, Like, what do you mean it's Aaron
- 28:08Speaker 1: Rodgers got to have a little bit of fire. You
- 28:10Speaker 1: ever heard about Tom Brady yelling at everybody? Tom Brady?
- 28:13Speaker 1: Tom Brady is allowed to do that. He's the greatest
- 28:15Speaker 1: of all time. Before every single show of bench with Banana.
- 28:18Speaker 1: I guess what, you show up and you perform. If
- 28:22Speaker 1: you if you lifted me up, I've never done that
- 28:25Speaker 1: once in my life. And you're well, but imagine if
- 28:27Speaker 1: that happens. You're thriving the with this. You guys really
- 28:31Speaker 1: think that's a crazy take. I just don't like it.
- 28:33Speaker 1: Ill I loved this about Rogers. He this is what
- 28:36Speaker 1: he said. We've got to have patience with those guys,
- 28:38Speaker 1: is what he was saying about his receivers. The patience
- 28:40Speaker 1: will get thinner as the season goes on. They've got
- 28:43Speaker 1: to feel you playing for the little bit of pressures.
- 28:46Speaker 1: May actually don't think get the crazy take. I just
- 28:48Speaker 1: wanted to put you in jail. Yeah, I'm gonna put
- 28:50Speaker 1: you in jail for this next take too. Well, maybe
- 28:51Speaker 1: don't take that contract and use that money to get receivers.
- 28:55Speaker 1: Fox ticking. All right, you're back on the my second one. Rachel.
- 28:59Speaker 1: You already know how I feel about this, and I
- 29:01Speaker 1: know your answer. But I just don't understand the concept
- 29:04Speaker 1: of paying money to be scared. And I'm talking about
- 29:09Speaker 1: scary movies. I'm talking about haunted houses, haunted corn mazes,
- 29:12Speaker 1: whatever it may be. Why would I pay money to
- 29:15Speaker 1: be scary? This is coming roo sense for me. I'm
- 29:18Speaker 1: a jumpie person to begin with. Jail, absolutely, jail, absolutely jail. Listen.
- 29:23Speaker 1: I my birthday is soon, It's in October. So every
- 29:27Speaker 1: year I try to have a spooky birthday and Mohan,
- 29:30Speaker 1: every single year absolutely hates it. I have costume parties.
- 29:35Speaker 1: He shows up and I'm like blood Gore, like show
- 29:39Speaker 1: up dead, and he like shows up as the Wolverine
- 29:42Speaker 1: with like tinfoil knuckles. Like he's is so anti anything scary.
- 29:47Speaker 1: He's not even coming to like my birthday celebration this
- 29:50Speaker 1: year because I want to do it at Halloween Hornites
- 29:53Speaker 1: and he's he's out. He can't he can't be bothered.
- 29:55Speaker 1: Can I try to explain the why that you, like,
- 29:58Speaker 1: literally just answer your question without making fun of you
- 30:00Speaker 1: or thank you. Can you get me out of jail?
- 30:01Speaker 1: This is this is put him a haunted house. Um.
- 30:07Speaker 1: I think that if the idea was like paying people
- 30:11Speaker 1: to actually attack you in some way that I would
- 30:14Speaker 1: touch you, I would totally get where you're coming from.
- 30:15Speaker 1: But I think part of it is like in the
- 30:18Speaker 1: real world, you can't be scared and feel safe at
- 30:23Speaker 1: the same time. But with a horror movie or a
- 30:26Speaker 1: haunted house, you can get the experience of being scared.
- 30:30Speaker 1: But no, in the back of your mind, you're actually scary.
- 30:33Speaker 1: I hear you. I hear you. I'm I'm I don't
- 30:34Speaker 1: like jump scares. I'm a jumpie person. I don't like
- 30:37Speaker 1: any of that. I think I would prefer going to
- 30:39Speaker 1: a real life murder mystery party where someone other than
- 30:42Speaker 1: me got murdered. No, but like it didn't murder. You
- 30:45Speaker 1: really know that you're scared of everything. I just I don't.
- 30:48Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense to pay money to for heady.
- 30:51Speaker 1: Before we end this, I know what I want from
- 30:53Speaker 1: the bench team for my birthday. You guys know on
- 30:56Speaker 1: Ellen how she used to send her producer through a
- 30:58Speaker 1: haunted house. Yes, that's what I would like. Please, that's
- 31:02Speaker 1: what I would like for my birthday. We can set
- 31:04Speaker 1: it up. We can get it done. Mohan's going, Jill, Okay, Mohan,
- 31:12Speaker 1: that was great. Before we go, Let's get to the
- 31:14Speaker 1: best and the worst thing that I saw all week
- 31:17Speaker 1: that look at Mike McDaniels says, as an assistant coach,
- 31:22Speaker 1: he used to be able to make it from Sunday
- 31:24Speaker 1: to Wednesday without showering, and oh he can't do that
- 31:27Speaker 1: as a head coach anymore. This is so narrowly I
- 31:31Speaker 1: understand he's busy. Guess what so am I we all are.
- 31:36Speaker 1: We still find time to shower because we work with
- 31:39Speaker 1: other people. It's called hygiene. Come on now. And our
- 31:43Speaker 1: good friend Andrew Hawkins, I believe, confirmed this. He retweeted
- 31:47Speaker 1: it and said, can confirm. Yeah, so Mike McDaniel was
- 31:50Speaker 1: walking around like a little stink bomb. Hey, yay yay. Also,
- 31:55Speaker 1: why would you tell this is what? I Okay, I'm
- 31:57Speaker 1: just saying this right now. Mike McDaniel is my favorite
- 31:59Speaker 1: coach in the NFL. Currently Campbell. Oh, Dan Campbell's not
- 32:06Speaker 1: as quirky. I love quirky. Mike McDaniel is so fun
- 32:10Speaker 1: and like he probably didn't even register that this is
- 32:12Speaker 1: going to be a thing that like went viral, but
- 32:13Speaker 1: it did, and um, I just love that about him.
- 32:16Speaker 1: He's just like so open, just being honest. He's just
- 32:18Speaker 1: being honest, just is himself. Is refreshing because NFL coaches
- 32:22Speaker 1: are so often just roll and they just see over
- 32:25Speaker 1: and over again. How tall is Mike McDaniels. He a
- 32:27Speaker 1: short king. I don't think so. I think I know
- 32:33Speaker 1: you know everybody in the short king community. Okay. Another
- 32:37Speaker 1: thing that I really didn't like to see this week
- 32:39Speaker 1: is Kareem and Nick being called chunt. That's their new nicknames. Yeah, Nick,
- 32:44Speaker 1: Chubb karreeh. No, I hate the sound of it because
- 32:52Speaker 1: you take that h out. Yeah, we get it. Graver
- 32:57Speaker 1: and jail is that possible? No? Okay, well then put
- 32:59Speaker 1: mom in jail time bye. By way of Okay, guys,
- 33:04Speaker 1: that is our show. That was a really fun one.
- 33:07Speaker 1: Week two is coming up, and enjoy all of the football.
- 33:09Speaker 1: We love hanging out with you. And hey, I don't
