Mikel Brown Jr. Leads Louisville Past Kentucky & Joe Burrow Returns to Practice · Height Differential

• 0:11
  to me. It's the height differential
• 0:14
  that's the six, six nil. I'm the four foot 10.
• 0:16
  Nick, we're back two days after the Cards take care of the cats
• 0:20
  at the KFC Yam Center. We'll talk plenty about that,
• 0:23
  but before we get to talk and make sure you're smashing that
• 0:25
  subscribe button on YouTube, Amazon, Spotify, Apple Music.
• 0:30
  And Neil's over there in the living room today because he got
• 0:32
  kicked out of the basement because I guess we're setting up
• 0:35
  Christmas decorations downstairs.
• 0:38
  Yeah, kids are downstairs helping, helping the wife put up
• 0:41
  the Christmas tree today. I mean, we, we talk about more
• 0:44
  about this topic later, but they, they wife likes to get him
• 0:48
  up early. So they're down there doing
• 0:50
  that. Got got a couple deer here in
• 0:52
  the background if you want to see them.
• 0:53
  But yeah, it's Christmas at the Roar House already on the 13th
• 0:57
  of November. Are you glad that this gets you
• 0:59
  out of it for a little bit? No, I still don't like Christmas
• 1:04
  decorations this early. No, I'm sorry, I mean, but.
• 1:07
  I mean, it could have got me out of it.
• 1:08
  It could have got me out of it about 3 weeks from now.
• 1:11
  Yeah. But yeah, you're right.
• 1:13
  We'll get into that later on the show, but we've got to start off
• 1:15
  with the with the cards taking care of the cats on Tuesday
• 1:17
  night at a packed KFC Yum Center, 96 to 88.
• 1:21
  Just just kind of your first kind of initial thoughts on the
• 1:24
  game. Yeah, I mean, we kind of going
• 1:26
  into the game, you didn't really know what to expect.
• 1:29
  You know, only the we talked about it last week, how early
• 1:31
  this game is being played in the season.
• 1:33
  You know, it's game 3 for both teams.
• 1:35
  I mean, you count the exhibition games, I guess it's Game 5.
• 1:38
  But you know, in the exhibition games, they look good one game,
• 1:41
  both teams look good one game and the other game they
• 1:43
  struggled. And so, you know, in their first
• 1:45
  two other matchups of the regular season, they're playing,
• 1:47
  you know, lesser competition. So you really can't tell much
• 1:49
  about either one of them. So going into this first true
• 1:52
  real test, 22,000 strong at the young center place was rocking
• 1:58
  sold out crowd. First time I think in like 8
• 2:00
  years. But you know, cards came out,
• 2:02
  they jumped on the cats early. They they threw the first punch
• 2:05
  in the first half. They built that 18 point lead.
• 2:08
  And then all of a sudden, you know, Kentucky punches back and
• 2:10
  it's a 7 point game at halftime. And we're like, all right, we're
• 2:13
  in. We're in for a great
• 2:14
  second-half. And once again, the cards come
• 2:16
  out in the second-half and you know, punch, punch, punch again.
• 2:19
  And it's all of a sudden it's a 20 point lead with the what,
• 2:22
  about 13 minutes left in the game?
• 2:24
  Cards could be cruising to a victory.
• 2:25
  And you know, Kentucky showed a lot of fight and all of a sudden
• 2:28
  they start making threes with Chandler and Aberdeen knocking
• 2:31
  them in from deep, deep. And it's a four point game at
• 2:34
  the end of four timeout. And you know, the, the, the
• 2:37
  feelings in the young center. It was it was tight.
• 2:40
  I mean, it was tight. People weren't anxious.
• 2:42
  He was like, oh, like is is this going to happen again?
• 2:44
  And all of a sudden the best player on the court that night,
• 2:46
  Michael Brown junior has that and one pushes that lead to 7
• 2:50
  Conwell, another transfer, big bucket and and down low in the
• 2:55
  paint. And you know, if they would have
• 2:57
  just made some free throws down the stretch, they might have won
• 2:59
  by double digits in the seven straight free throws.
• 3:01
  But other than that, no cards. 96 points offense looked
• 3:04
  fantastic. Kudos to Kentucky as well. 88
• 3:07
  points. They look good, some struggles
• 3:10
  on defense both ways, but all around good.
• 3:12
  Good, really good basketball game.
• 3:14
  Yeah, I mean, my initial thoughts is, dude, this was a
• 3:18
  great game and great for the rivalry.
• 3:21
  I I mean, I was lucky enough to sit sit courtside with work in
• 3:24
  the scores table and I mean had a great seat for it.
• 3:27
  But the atmosphere was great. The ACT, I mean, the game was
• 3:29
  just back and forth the whole time and just a great game for
• 3:32
  television. I mean, I'm sure people all
• 3:34
  across the the country watch were watching it and as.
• 3:37
  Louisville fans, unless you have YouTube TV, you are not
• 3:40
  watching. Still still locked down from
• 3:43
  from the the ESPN. Yeah, but people that did have
• 3:46
  ESPN, we're all watching it across the country.
• 3:48
  And I mean, this is what the rivalry is supposed to be,
• 3:51
  right? Two top ten teams basically
• 3:55
  going at it and the the game lives up to the hype.
• 3:57
  We both talked about how, you know, we kind of hated it, the
• 4:00
  fact that it's November the 11th and and so early in the year.
• 4:04
  And I still, I still think that's true, but the game being
• 4:09
  as early as it was that the both teams played really well.
• 4:11
  You talked about Louisville getting out to they were got up
• 4:14
  to 18, but just under 5 to go in the first half of Kentucky rally
• 4:18
  back. And then Louisville pushed the
• 4:20
  lead again to 20, was up 78 to 58 with 12:30 to go.
• 4:25
  And at that point, you're thinking maybe Louisville's
• 4:27
  going to score 110 points the the way their offense was going.
• 4:30
  But after that point, Kentucky outscored Louisville 26 to 10
• 4:35
  over the next 8 minutes. And then you talked about it,
• 4:37
  Michael Brown went, went left, got that and one and he was
• 4:41
  great all night, was the best player all night.
• 4:43
  But I felt like that play really kind of stamped the fact that,
• 4:46
  you know, he's not just one of the best freshmen in the
• 4:48
  country. He's one of the best players in
• 4:50
  the country. He made the free throw, got the
• 4:52
  N1 and, you know, kind of got something, got back up by 7:00.
• 4:56
  And yeah, you talked about it. They missed seven straight free
• 4:58
  throws there at the end. And, you know, it never got to
• 5:01
  where, like they was so scary where you thought the cards were
• 5:03
  going to lose, but you're like, also like, let's just put these.
• 5:07
  Just make these and put the game.
• 5:08
  Away final nail in the coffin. And yeah, like luckily Kentucky
• 5:11
  didn't capitalize on those missed free throws.
• 5:14
  Louisville defense held up and and and got the stops when they
• 5:17
  needed them. Yeah, and another thing that
• 5:20
  that stood out to me is, is Conwell's play.
• 5:23
  He he was amazing. And it wasn't just Brown and
• 5:26
  Caldwell scoring combined. They had one turnover, Brown had
• 5:30
  one turnover, Conwell had zero. Louisville as a team at six and
• 5:35
  for game three to only have 6 turnovers, it's that's about as
• 5:39
  impressive as a stat as you'll see.
• 5:41
  Yeah, no. And like you look at the box
• 5:43
  score and you know, like the scoring was close and like the
• 5:46
  three-point shooting, like Louisville had 13 made threes,
• 5:49
  Kentucky had 12. There was 31 made field goals
• 5:52
  for Louisville, 32 for Kentucky. So everything was pretty close,
• 5:55
  even a rebound that was 42 to 40 Kentucky.
• 5:58
  But the one stat that stands out is 20 assists and only 6
• 6:01
  turnovers for Louisville. And Kentucky had 14 assists and
• 6:04
  14 turnovers. So you know that assists the
• 6:07
  turnover ratio big time in Louisville's favor.
• 6:10
  And that's kind of the story of how they kind of won that game.
• 6:14
  But I mean, for a, for a freshman to, to do what he's
• 6:18
  doing and, and to have one turnover, why, while finishing
• 6:22
  with 29 points and and five assists, I mean, is, is just
• 6:26
  really, really remarkable. And on Kentucky side, I thought
• 6:31
  Aberdeen did a great job of, of keeping them in the game
• 6:34
  throughout. And then you're right, Chandler
• 6:35
  got hot and started making some some really tough, some really
• 6:39
  deep threes in the second-half. And I mean, we know this
• 6:41
  Kentucky team's not going to have any trouble scoring the
• 6:44
  basketball. That's that's not going to be
• 6:46
  their issue. And it's going to be the same
• 6:48
  thing it was last year. Can they get enough stops to
• 6:50
  win? And you know, I, I've heard
• 6:54
  several times yesterday Mark Pope or on Tuesday, Mark Pope
• 6:57
  yelling, make a stop, get one stop, get one stop.
• 7:00
  And they had a hard time getting that one stop.
• 7:03
  And you just wonder if that's going to be their issue again
• 7:06
  this year. Is is.
• 7:09
  Maybe I wouldn't read too much into it yet, like you say, it's
• 7:12
  game three. But the style of play that
• 7:14
  Louisville, I mean, they're just up and down, up and down and
• 7:17
  getting as many shots as they can.
• 7:18
  So I mean, Louisville is going to be a high scoring team regard
• 7:21
  like just based on the style of play that they have.
• 7:24
  So, you know, giving up 96 to Louisville isn't necessarily an
• 7:28
  indicative of your defense of being the rest of the year.
• 7:31
  Like it's it's the style of play.
• 7:33
  It's game 3. Kentucky will get better, but
• 7:35
  it's just a tough matchup. Yeah, I think one thing that
• 7:39
  really surprised me is I thought Louisville's bigs really
• 7:42
  outplayed Kentucky's bigs. No, I mean 100% like, you know,
• 7:47
  one of the questions coming into the season was Louisville's, you
• 7:49
  know, their their front court and, and in those bigs with
• 7:52
  Cason Pryor coming off the injury, think he played two
• 7:55
  minutes the other night, didn't even see the floor in the
• 7:56
  second-half. So he's still coming back from
• 7:59
  that torn ACL. But I thought Savannah Frew had
• 8:01
  a fantastic game, 10 points and seven rebounds.
• 8:04
  He got a couple clutch offensive rebounds in the second-half.
• 8:08
  And then you got, you know, a guy like Ali Khalifa who had put
• 8:11
  up four points. I'm sorry, 4 rebounds, 4
• 8:13
  assists, 4 points and no turnovers.
• 8:16
  So you know, when your bigs, Frew only had one turnover and
• 8:20
  Khalifa no turnovers and four assists.
• 8:23
  And that's let's get it done. They they love around that
• 8:26
  hollow with with Khalifa up top and he didn't have any
• 8:29
  turnovers, but he he put the ball in danger a couple times
• 8:32
  and then he they took him out of the game.
• 8:33
  But I mean that he can really pass the ball from up top.
• 8:37
  It it is impressive and I was really impressed with Frew.
• 8:40
  I mean, coming in, you don't know what to expect from this
• 8:42
  big from Germany. And when he got that ball on the
• 8:45
  right block and spun like opposite his defender, like it's
• 8:50
  just, it's like there's nothing flashy about that, but it's just
• 8:54
  such a good basketball play and you don't see enough bigs doing
• 8:57
  that anymore. No, you don't.
• 8:59
  I mean, fundamentally was was a great play.
• 9:02
  And for like, it's going to take some adjusting, you know, coming
• 9:05
  over from from from Germany. But you know, from where he
• 9:08
  started in that exhibition game against Kansas to what he showed
• 9:11
  on Tuesday night, you can already see the improvement.
• 9:14
  He's getting more comfortable. You know, he's, he's scoring a
• 9:17
  little bit more now. He's getting those big time
• 9:19
  boards, like he's looking a lot better just in the span of two
• 9:22
  to three weeks. No, he is.
• 9:25
  He is. And I mean, we'll keep rehashing
• 9:28
  this. We're we're game three, like
• 9:31
  it's game 3. So neither one of these teams
• 9:34
  are finished product, but they both showed what they they can
• 9:38
  be at at times. And I, I think these are both
• 9:40
  teams that can compete to get to the final 4th and potentially
• 9:43
  even win a national title. I, I think both of these teams
• 9:46
  are that talented and like they're both going to continue
• 9:49
  to get better. I, I don't think either team
• 9:51
  played their best game. It wasn't one of these games
• 9:53
  where PK is after the game. Like, man, we played our best
• 9:56
  game and that's why they one there's still plenty of things
• 9:59
  that they can improve on. They didn't shoot it well from
• 10:01
  three shot 13 or 40 from beyond the arc, which I think if you
• 10:06
  look throughout the rest of the season of probably going to be
• 10:09
  one of their, you know, worst shooting games from deep.
• 10:13
  So that's something they can can improve on and both teams are
• 10:17
  going to improve defensively. I don't know how good ranking,
• 10:21
  you know, nationally either team is going to be defensively, but
• 10:23
  they're both going to get better on that end.
• 10:25
  So it's going to be fun to watch these teams throughout the year.
• 10:28
  Yeah, absolutely. But and also, just like I know
• 10:33
  not every Louisville fan feels this way and every Kentucky fan
• 10:35
  feels this way, but to me it's just good when when both teams
• 10:38
  in this rivalry are good. And that's what, that's what
• 10:41
  makes this rivalry what it is like you don't want to see
• 10:44
  either team's struggling and then then the games just aren't
• 10:46
  as fine. No, I agree with you.
• 10:50
  So after the game, well, I guess the cards now have won two or
• 10:55
  five. Everybody acts like they haven't
• 10:57
  won in forever. They've won two out of the last
• 10:59
  five. That's almost 50%.
• 11:02
  I looked at the I looked at the the breakdown and like since
• 11:09
  nine since 2010, Kentucky won four in a row, Louisville 11,
• 11:13
  Kentucky won four in a row, Louisville 11, Kentucky won
• 11:16
  three in a row, Louisville 11. Kentucky won three in a row,
• 11:19
  Louisville one on Tuesday. So let's just hope that pattern
• 11:23
  doesn't continue where now it's like Kentucky wins 2, Louisville
• 11:26
  wins 1, Kentucky wins 2, Louisville wins one.
• 11:29
  And then it gets to finally where they're alternating
• 11:31
  because that's the way to the pattern goes.
• 11:33
  I. Mean do you follow?
• 11:35
  That. We have the bragging rights for
• 11:37
  the next 365 days. So you know, we'll be going to
• 11:41
  go back-to-back, look back-to-back state champs next
• 11:44
  year. So, you know, can't wait.
• 11:46
  But for at least this Thanksgiving, you know, card fan
• 11:49
  aunt Jean, she can go talk her smack to, to cousin Eddie at at
• 11:54
  the around the around the pumpkin pie when it's being
• 11:56
  passed around. So I mean cards fans talk.
• 11:59
  The face of all the Cats fans. Cards fans, talk your smack
• 12:01
  coming up here in a couple weeks at that Thanksgiving table.
• 12:05
  What, what are you reading into these these Mark Pope comments
• 12:08
  about saying there was something with the pregame experience at
• 12:12
  Louisville that kind of got the Kentucky out of character, kind
• 12:15
  of disrupted them. Like, what could that possibly
• 12:17
  be? And why isn't he talking about
• 12:19
  what it is? I don't know, I saw it today.
• 12:23
  I was at a press conference today maybe or something.
• 12:24
  I so I don't know if there's a specific something that
• 12:28
  happened. I'm unaware of it.
• 12:29
  I haven't heard anything, you know, in, in the media or
• 12:32
  anything that's, that's come out besides that.
• 12:33
  So I don't know if it's, I mean, I know our students section was
• 12:37
  in there early. They got there as soon as doors
• 12:39
  open and, and the student section filled up and during
• 12:42
  warmups, they were giving Kentucky a hard time, as most
• 12:44
  student sections would do. That's what you expect the
• 12:46
  student section to do. I mean, so I don't know if you
• 12:49
  know the doors. Didn't open any earlier than I
• 12:51
  normally do, did I? Oh, I know.
• 12:52
  So I I got on it during warmups if our you know, our the
• 12:55
  Kentucky got rattled by something being said.
• 12:58
  I have no idea. But yeah, very bizarre.
• 13:00
  He said he would talk about it when the time is right kind of
• 13:03
  thing and it. I.
• 13:05
  To me, I I've been nothing out of the ordinary that I know of.
• 13:08
  I'm just trying to like figure out what it could potentially be
• 13:11
  it it couldn't have been them getting to the arena because
• 13:13
  they were staying three blocks away, so they couldn't have any
• 13:17
  issue getting there. They had their shoot around.
• 13:19
  They had their shoot around there earlier in the day.
• 13:22
  They put the Kentucky account, posted pictures of them doing
• 13:25
  their walkthrough. So there wasn't an issue there.
• 13:27
  So I maybe, I don't know if they were staying at the Marriott,
• 13:30
  maybe they're their grilled chicken was a little burnt,
• 13:33
  maybe the steak was a little undercooked, maybe the veggies
• 13:36
  were raw. I don't know, maybe the pregame
• 13:38
  meal was off. Well, I don't I don't think they
• 13:40
  were staying at the Marriott. But I don't know where were they
• 13:42
  at They're. Pretty sure they were the Omni.
• 13:45
  So the Omni? The Omni, Yeah.
• 13:47
  The Omni OK. I saw my saw the Big Blue buses
• 13:50
  on my way into the arena on on Tuesday.
• 13:52
  So I mean literally that's a 2 block.
• 13:55
  It's two blocks. So couldn't have any issue.
• 13:59
  And I'm sure they have plenty of police cars escorting them.
• 14:01
  So they're not going to have any issues with with getting into
• 14:04
  the arena. I just, I just, I see this news
• 14:06
  today and I'm trying to go through my head like what could
• 14:10
  possibly have gone wrong? Like did they not get their food
• 14:14
  pregame meal? But that's all at the hotel.
• 14:16
  Like I just, I, I don't know. I don't, I want to know what
• 14:19
  he's talking about. And I'm like, why won't he say
• 14:22
  it? And Eric Crawford's article on
• 14:24
  WDRB is kind of like the same thing.
• 14:26
  Like, I think you're going to mention it.
• 14:28
  Just mention it. Yeah, I'm sure he'll be asked
• 14:32
  about it again and maybe he'll get asked enough to where he
• 14:35
  will come out and say what he's meaning.
• 14:37
  I don't. Maybe it wasn't anything that
• 14:39
  happened, maybe just the emotions of the game where, you
• 14:42
  know, but the players were hyped up before the game and it kind
• 14:45
  of just threw them out of rhythm.
• 14:46
  I could just be something internally that happened.
• 14:48
  I don't, I don't know. I don't know.
• 14:50
  Yeah, I mean, I feel like if it's, I don't know if it's
• 14:53
  internal, I feel like you would have shared it, but I don't
• 14:57
  know. It's it's a mystery and it's.
• 14:59
  A mystery. It's a mystery and I I mean, I,
• 15:02
  my, I don't think we'll ever find out at this point.
• 15:04
  It's not like they're going to keep passion on it.
• 15:06
  Trying to what what what happened before the Cards game,
• 15:09
  but I don't. Just weird to me that he
• 15:11
  mentioned it but then wouldn't fully mention it.
• 15:13
  But yeah, what about PK going in the crowd and dislocating his
• 15:16
  finger? That's what PK does, man.
• 15:18
  That's, that's the energy. Like PK, he's that fiery, you
• 15:22
  know, energetic guy and emotional guy.
• 15:24
  And when there's a big win, he's going to celebrate the big wins
• 15:27
  and he's going to celebrate hard.
• 15:28
  And maybe high fived a couple of those students a little too hard
• 15:31
  on Tuesday night. But yeah, seldom had the, the
• 15:33
  split, the finger splint going on in the presser, so good for
• 15:38
  him. Maybe hold it down a little bit.
• 15:39
  I don't know, feel bad for Officer Dale, Officer Dale
• 15:43
  Thompson. That's got to follow him around
• 15:44
  everywhere and see old Dale up in the crowd trying to make sure
• 15:48
  PK is OK. But.
• 15:49
  He's like, God, we're doing this, we're doing this, I guess,
• 15:53
  but do, do not, do not change who you are.
• 15:55
  Like it is so authentic and and that's what just makes him so
• 16:00
  appealing. And obviously he's a great
• 16:02
  basketball coach and what he's done in the first two years is
• 16:05
  or a year and three games. It is has been remarkable.
• 16:08
  And last year they they came on the scene and this year, I mean,
• 16:13
  they're one of the best teams in the country.
• 16:14
  And what an unbelievable job he's done.
• 16:17
  And you know, it, it kind of make brings me to another point
• 16:21
  where I keep seeing people reference, you know, the years
• 16:24
  before he came here. And they keep doing it and
• 16:27
  they're doing it on TV with like, can we stop?
• 16:30
  Like we that was last year. We don't have to keep
• 16:32
  referencing those seasons like we're on to a new era, like
• 16:38
  let's let's quit looking in the past.
• 16:40
  Yes, no, I agree that the that that that era of Louisville
• 16:44
  basketball is over. We're on to brighter days, and
• 16:47
  we got the right man leading this program.
• 16:49
  So yeah, that's leave it. Leave it alone.
• 16:52
  What what the what is it? Let the sleeping dog lie or some
• 16:56
  there's some cliche in there. Just leave it alone.
• 16:58
  You're not. You're not smart enough to know.
• 17:00
  What the sleeping dog lie or not on something like that?
• 17:04
  But big win for the Cards. It's it's going to be a fun
• 17:06
  season both for for the cats and the Cards and look forward to
• 17:10
  watching them all year. And the game's over and it's
• 17:14
  November. What?
• 17:15
  Maybe it's November the 14th tomorrow.
• 17:17
  So it's just still kind of crazy to me.
• 17:20
  Don't worry, we got football in two weeks.
• 17:22
  We do. We still have the football game.
• 17:26
  Which is wild. The basketball game's over
• 17:28
  before the football game. But Speaking of football, I
• 17:31
  think we need to get in some some NFL news and we didn't talk
• 17:34
  much Bengals last week because they were on the buy.
• 17:37
  But we got some unexpected Bengals news on Monday as Joe
• 17:43
  Burrow rehab going way better than I think anybody
• 17:47
  anticipated. He spoke to the media on Monday
• 17:52
  and I think there's a chance that he might be ready to go on
• 17:56
  Thanksgiving night against Baltimore.
• 17:58
  That's that's the goal. That's what I've heard.
• 18:01
  So happy to hear that the rehab's going well and and Joe
• 18:04
  is progressing. I would love to get him back,
• 18:07
  but I don't know if it's going to matter.
• 18:12
  I don't know if it's going to matter at all because that Joe
• 18:14
  can't play safety, Joe can't play linebacker, he can't get
• 18:18
  out there and tackle somebody because we Lord knows the 11
• 18:22
  guys on defense can't do it. So Joe can come in and put up 42
• 18:26
  points, but if the defense is going to give up 45, we're going
• 18:28
  to be right in the same boat we're in now.
• 18:30
  Which I mean, honestly, like if you can just like, let's go back
• 18:35
  three weeks and you don't blow that 14 point leading, it's a
• 18:38
  Jets. You finish that game, you figure
• 18:41
  out a miraculous way to beat the Bears, which they almost did,
• 18:44
  but their defense can't stop anybody.
• 18:46
  Being first. You flipped those two games.
• 18:50
  Can you imagine how excited Bengals fans are with the fact
• 18:54
  that you're 5:00 and 4:00? You're probably you're in first
• 18:57
  place at the point at. The point at least tied for
• 18:59
  first place. You have the tiebreaker over.
• 19:01
  The Yeah, and you have the tiebreaker.
• 19:03
  You're five and four, you're tied for first place.
• 19:05
  And you got Joe Burrow coming back in a couple weeks.
• 19:09
  Yeah, like. That was what we all had hoped
• 19:12
  was going to happen. You know, when when Joe got hurt
• 19:14
  and we thought, all right, maybe mid-december, if we can just
• 19:17
  keep this thing together. And, you know, Al Golden just
• 19:20
  decided to just. Al Golden didn't pick his
• 19:24
  players. OK, but anyways.
• 19:28
  But anyways, let's get back to Joe Burrow.
• 19:30
  Let's get back to Joe Burrow. Yeah.
• 19:32
  But let's say, I mean, obviously he wants to play if if they go
• 19:37
  and lose these next two games and now it's 3:00 and 8:00 and
• 19:40
  then you're playing Baltimore on Thursday night.
• 19:43
  Are you bringing him back on that Thursday?
• 19:46
  I think, yes, absolutely. I mean, Joe Burrow is a
• 19:48
  competitor. He's shown that he's got he
• 19:50
  wants to play football like that's who he is.
• 19:52
  He doesn't. If he's healthy, if he can get
• 19:54
  out there and he can play, he's going to play.
• 19:56
  Even if we're 2 and 14, Joe Burrows going to want to play
• 19:59
  football. And if as a franchise you want
• 20:03
  to protect, you know, your your franchise quarterback and you
• 20:06
  know, coming off an injury, is it worth it?
• 20:07
  Is it not worth it? But if Joe Burrows healthy and
• 20:10
  he wants to play football, go let the man play football.
• 20:12
  You're paying him to play, not to sit.
• 20:15
  I, I mean, I couldn't agree more.
• 20:17
  And like, all these people are always just going to get hurt
• 20:20
  again and you can't like. Stop.
• 20:23
  Stop being scared. You got to stop.
• 20:24
  He didn't work his he didn't work his ass off to sit.
• 20:28
  Correct. To get to get ready from this
• 20:30
  injury, correct, Like he worked his ass off so he can play and
• 20:35
  they ask him about the defense in the press conference and I
• 20:37
  mean he's not going to go in and blast him because if he does, I
• 20:40
  mean they've already kind of we've seen that, you know,
• 20:43
  offense starts with defense a little bit, but he can't he
• 20:46
  cannot do that as a quarterback. And, and he talked about how,
• 20:49
  you know, at the beginning of the season that the defense was
• 20:51
  kind of carrying us a little bit and the offense wasn't great.
• 20:54
  And, and he's right, but. Especially.
• 20:59
  It didn't surprise me that he kind of walked the toed the
• 21:01
  line, toed the line there. I didn't even mean to do that as
• 21:06
  Joe comes off a toe injury. But I didn't mean to do it.
• 21:10
  I said I didn't mean to do it. But then I caught myself and I
• 21:12
  did actually amplify it a little bit.
• 21:15
  But I mean, I just keep looking back at the fact that you just
• 21:20
  don't lose those two games. You're on a three-game winning
• 21:22
  streak. You're 5:00 and 4:00 and that
• 21:24
  press conference would have had a whole different feel than it
• 21:26
  did on Monday when you're when you're 3 and 6.
• 21:29
  Yeah, no, 100%. But do you got to win on Sunday
• 21:35
  against the Steelers? You already beat them once and
• 21:37
  Rodgers didn't look great last week.
• 21:39
  But I know the the medicine for a quarterback that's not looking
• 21:43
  real good and it's faced this Bengals defense.
• 21:49
  Yep, I expect, fully expect Aaron Rodgers to throw for 450
• 21:52
  yards and five touchdowns. And they're going to be not very
• 21:55
  happy that they lost the game a month ago.
• 21:59
  So it's going to be a tough one to go to go into Pittsburgh and
• 22:02
  and and get a win. But I mean, you lose this one.
• 22:05
  I would say the season's pretty much over.
• 22:07
  And then you're just, I mean, you can't come back from three
• 22:10
  and seven and losing a Tyber against the Steelers.
• 22:14
  Nope. Good news that that Joe's coming
• 22:19
  back. It's just another one of the
• 22:20
  like the dude is just a monster. And like I, I didn't want to get
• 22:25
  like we talked about this. I was like, he ain't coming back
• 22:27
  this year. Like I'm not even putting into
• 22:29
  my thought process because I didn't want to get over excited
• 22:32
  about the fact that he might potentially come back.
• 22:35
  But I mean, dude, nobody expected him to come back in
• 22:37
  November. No.
• 22:42
  Do you want to jump into some NFL rankings?
• 22:46
  We, we did a show on Sunday, so we actually already went
• 22:49
  through, went through the game by game breakdown.
• 22:53
  Yeah, I mean, I think we have some shake UPS.
• 22:55
  Do that, it's a shake up every week.
• 22:57
  It is a shake up every week. It is a shake up every week.
• 23:00
  I mean, yeah. I mean, the Bills, who we had
• 23:03
  toward the top, you know, they lost.
• 23:07
  The Packers are struggling. 7 points on Monday night.
• 23:15
  We even talked. We haven't even talked about
• 23:17
  that game. That game was just awful.
• 23:20
  Yeah. I mean, as a Beagles fan, I'd
• 23:22
  love to be able to win a game. 6:50.
• 23:27
  Yeah, No, we can start. We'll see.
• 23:28
  Is it your draft? You start.
• 23:29
  Is it? Is it?
• 23:30
  I think it's yours. Is it mine?
• 23:32
  Yep. Oh boy.
• 23:34
  All right, let's let's get into it here.
• 23:37
  With the first pick on November 13th's NFL Power Rankings, I am
• 23:45
  going to select the Seattle Seahawks.
• 23:49
  I'll keep them in #1 as I had them last week.
• 23:52
  Or was my top choice that I had them last week?
• 23:55
  I'm actually going to write these down so we don't forget
• 23:57
  where we're going. Dude, I've been high on the Rams
• 24:01
  all year, but I haven't had them this high.
• 24:04
  Matt Stafford's playing as good as anybody.
• 24:06
  I'm going them it too. OK.
• 24:08
  All right, I don't blame me. I mean, they're, they're them,
• 24:11
  and the Seahawks are just putting.
• 24:12
  Up points, same division. Points and points.
• 24:15
  Same division. I mean, both of them sitting
• 24:17
  there at 7:00 and 2:00 and they're playing great football.
• 24:22
  My third choice, the New England Patriots at 8:00 and 2:00, the
• 24:30
  NF LS best record. I mean, you can say they haven't
• 24:34
  played anybody haven't played. I mean, they did beat Buffalo,
• 24:38
  but I mean they're they went to Tampa, they went to Tampa and I
• 24:41
  had Tampa in the top ten and they would just really.
• 24:44
  Surprise, you have the Pats over the Colts.
• 24:47
  Colts, Colts, maybe a little bit of a knock, only winning an
• 24:51
  over. I know they played in Berlin,
• 24:52
  but an overtime victory over the Falcons, maybe slight knock on
• 24:56
  them. But I mean, when when you're
• 24:58
  going to Tampa Bay and you're beating Baker Mayfield on his
• 25:01
  home field and you're sitting there with the league's best
• 25:03
  record of eight and two, you got to go with the patriots #3.
• 25:08
  All right, well, I'm going to give you a chance to pick the
• 25:11
  Colts at 5:00 because I'm going to Eagles at 4:00.
• 25:13
  I know there's been some issues with their offense, but still.
• 25:16
  Defending Super Bowl champions and Yep, I'm going to Eagles at
• 25:20
  4:00. As much as I don't want to do
• 25:24
  it, I'm going to do it because I think that they are probably a
• 25:28
  top five football team right now.
• 25:31
  The Baltimore Ravens are playing top five football now that
• 25:35
  they're healthy. Now that the Ravens are healthy,
• 25:38
  they're going to win the AFC North.
• 25:40
  They're going to probably win their next.
• 25:42
  They might win out, to be honest with you.
• 25:44
  I mean, their schedule is Cleveland, The Jets, the
• 25:47
  Bengals, the Steelers, the Bengals.
• 25:50
  I mean, what's up? The next 5 games are all
• 25:52
  winnable. They're playing great football.
• 25:56
  They are probably going to go to the playoffs and win the Super
• 25:59
  Bowl. They they're.
• 26:02
  Playing No, I mean, I don't think they're 5 right now.
• 26:05
  I think they could be 5 in a couple of weeks.
• 26:07
  I think you're jumping the gun a little bit.
• 26:10
  I mean, you just put them above the 8:00 and 2:00 Colts, which
• 26:12
  now I get to pick the eight and two Colts and.
• 26:15
  Look at what? But but you when you look at
• 26:17
  what you like. If we did a graphic.
• 26:21
  If we did a graphic and we had the Colts below the Ravens, you
• 26:26
  got to. Think like are we, we're ranking
• 26:31
  who's the best team right now? Currently right now, I think the
• 26:35
  Baltimore Ravens would beat the Indianapolis Colts in Indy or in
• 26:39
  Baltimore. They or in Berlin.
• 26:40
  They go play in Berlin too. And I think that the the the
• 26:44
  Ravens are probably better than the Colts.
• 26:46
  Yes, they're four and five, but the reason they're four and five
• 26:49
  is because half their defense missed 3-4 games and Lamar
• 26:52
  Jackson missed three to four games.
• 26:55
  Now that all of those guys are back, they're playing the
• 26:58
  football that everybody expected them to play when this season
• 27:01
  started. They're playing Baltimore Raven
• 27:03
  football. They're about to go on a huge
• 27:05
  winning streak. They're going to win the
• 27:06
  division and they would beat the Colts right now in anywhere they
• 27:10
  play. So, I mean, the record's not
• 27:12
  great, but they're they're playing top five football.
• 27:14
  I don't disagree with anything you just said.
• 27:17
  I just at this point in time, I just don't know how you put the
• 27:22
  Ravens above the Colts. And I agree with you.
• 27:24
  If they played right now, I would predict that the Ravens
• 27:27
  would win. But they're four and five.
• 27:32
  The Colts are 8 and two and I have some weight.
• 27:36
  I know what you're saying, but. All right, who you guys 7?
• 27:40
  No, it's you, right? Oh wait, you picked.
• 27:42
  No, I win. I win the Colts.
• 27:44
  I mean, you made it easy for me. I'm winning this draft, by the
• 27:48
  way, if it was a draft. Because I picked the team with
• 27:52
  the losing record, you know, I'm not putting in there is the
• 27:57
  Denver Broncos. They are playing really bad
• 28:00
  football right now. And that wasn't, I know they're
• 28:02
  8:00 and 2:00, but my goodness, that's the worst eight and two
• 28:05
  team I think I've ever seen. I'm going to go with the sorry
• 28:08
  Detroit Lions as my next team. They had a nice win on Sunday
• 28:15
  night, I believe is when they played.
• 28:19
  But they, yeah, I will. I will go with the Detroit Lions
• 28:22
  as my next pick. All right, and then I'll go
• 28:26
  Chiefs here at 8 coming off the by.
• 28:29
  Nobody's really, really talking about them, but I mean, there's
• 28:33
  still the chiefs and look like they were really kind of getting
• 28:37
  back into their flow before their loss to the to the bills.
• 28:41
  And no, I got, and I mean, I could put the bills at them
• 28:44
  because they beat them, but I I'm not doing that after they
• 28:47
  just lost to the Dolphins. No, I hear you.
• 28:50
  I think I'm going to go next with my next pick's going to be
• 28:55
  the LA Chargers. Nice 25 to 10 victory over
• 28:58
  Pittsburgh on Sunday. They've won three in a row.
• 29:02
  They're sitting there with only three losses on the year.
• 29:05
  Probably going to be a playoff team.
• 29:07
  So I'm going to go with the Chargers.
• 29:10
  I'll close with the Bucks. They've been up to top for the
• 29:14
  majority of the year. They're still six and three
• 29:17
  coming off the loss to the Patriots.
• 29:19
  And I mean, I it was between the Bills and the Bucks and I just,
• 29:24
  I don't think the Bills deserve it after doing what they did to,
• 29:28
  to to the Dolphins last week. Oh, you're going to cuss me out
• 29:31
  for putting a team with a four and five record in my top five
• 29:34
  and you don't have the Denver Broncos, who are tied for the
• 29:38
  league's best record at 8:00 and 2:00 in the top ten?
• 29:40
  You just use your own argument. Like you, you're going against
• 29:43
  your own logic. Do you think, do you think the
• 29:46
  Colts and the Broncos are the same?
• 29:47
  No, but they're 8:00 and 2:00 and the Broncos, let's be fair.
• 29:52
  And let's be fair, the Broncos should be 9 and one if they
• 29:54
  don't throw that penalty on. They I mean, but they also could
• 29:57
  lost games other way other ways too, like that balance.
• 30:00
  Is out. But.
• 30:01
  But you're saying that I can't have a four and five team ahead
• 30:03
  of a team that's 8:00 and 2:00, but you don't even put an 8 and
• 30:05
  two team in your top 10? Well, if the Broncos and the
• 30:09
  Colts played right now, I would say the Colts are going to win.
• 30:11
  What? Because I do not believe in the
• 30:13
  Broncos. I don't either.
• 30:14
  I don't think they're a top. 10/7 of their eight wins against
• 30:19
  opponent record combined of 17 and 46, they beat.
• 30:23
  They beat the one and eight Titans, 20 to 12.
• 30:28
  They beat the three and six Bengals.
• 30:29
  They crushed just because that was just an awful game.
• 30:32
  They beat the two and seven Jets, 13 to 11.
• 30:35
  They beat the two and eight Giants, 33 to 32.
• 30:40
  I mean, they beat the Raiders 6:50.
• 30:43
  Like like you want me to put them in the top ten?
• 30:46
  I get it, they're 8:00 and 2:00, but like.
• 30:50
  No, I would. I would not want you.
• 30:52
  To and I don't trust Bo Nicks at all.
• 30:54
  I, I used to, I was, I was on you a little bit early in the
• 30:56
  season for being too harsh on Bo Nicks, but man, that guy, oh,
• 31:00
  his performance on last week was last Thursday night was brittle.
• 31:07
  I just he's gone back. They're rightfully not in the
• 31:10
  top 10, but I'm just saying. You're just fake.
• 31:12
  You're just fake cussing me out. No, I'm just cussing you out for
• 31:15
  cussing me out for having a four and five team in my top five
• 31:18
  because as we said right now, the the the Baltimore Ravens are
• 31:23
  playing top five football and would beat every other team that
• 31:26
  we didn't mention the top three. I mean, yeah, it's a balance of
• 31:31
  all these things, but the I just, I don't know how you can
• 31:35
  put them above the Colts just, and especially if you, you're
• 31:38
  the, you're the, you're the cold guy.
• 31:40
  You picked the Colts at the beginning of the year.
• 31:42
  Colts are running away with that division.
• 31:44
  It's fine. I said they'd be win the
• 31:46
  division and they will. That was my that was my
• 31:48
  prediction. But the the Ravens are better.
• 31:52
  So Seahawks, Rams, Pats, Eagles, Ravens, Colts, Lions, Chiefs,
• 31:55
  Chargers, Bucks. It's.
• 31:57
  Pretty good top team. Who'd we leave?
• 32:00
  Who'd we leave out? That probably should have been
• 32:01
  in there. The Broncos?
• 32:04
  Yeah, the Bills. Packers Ish.
• 32:07
  I mean, I ain't putting the Packers in after, no.
• 32:09
  They just have not looked good the last couple of weeks.
• 32:12
  No, the Bears keep winning when they're going to get some love.
• 32:18
  No, no, not buying anything on the not buying anything that the
• 32:23
  Bears are selling. I mean, we left off the 49ers.
• 32:27
  They're sitting there at six and four naters playing that NFC
• 32:31
  West is a hard division, man. That's a hard division out
• 32:33
  there. Oh, I mean, that's the, we
• 32:36
  picked one and two from the from the NFC West.
• 32:38
  Yeah, looking at the schedule this week, obviously we've
• 32:43
  talked about the Bengals and the Steelers, some other games that
• 32:48
  stick out. You got the Bucks at the Bills.
• 32:54
  Really. I mean Seahawks.
• 32:55
  What's the? Rams.
• 32:57
  Battle of the Top 2 The battle of the top two in the in our
• 33:00
  power ranking is going on there, Chiefs.
• 33:02
  That's your game. That's your game of the week.
• 33:04
  I think Chiefs of Broncos is another one of the.
• 33:07
  Broncos, Lions and Eagles. So three really good games this
• 33:10
  week. Yeah, yeah.
• 33:14
  And then on the the college football side, because we
• 33:16
  haven't really talked much college football.
• 33:18
  There's good games this week in the college football.
• 33:21
  Yeah. So I guess Ohio State's off,
• 33:25
  yes. And then Indiana hosts
• 33:27
  Wisconsin, A&M hosts South Carolina.
• 33:31
  Yeah, so both of those should remain unbeaten.
• 33:34
  Notre Dame goes to Pitt when And Pitt putting together a sneaky
• 33:38
  good season that not too many people are.
• 33:39
  Talking about they got college game day up there in Pitt this
• 33:42
  weekend. Atmosphere up there should be
• 33:44
  great. I think Pitt, ever since they
• 33:46
  made that quarterback switch to the freshmen, they've been
• 33:49
  lights out on offense. So I actually think that'll be a
• 33:51
  pretty good game. It would not be surprised if
• 33:53
  Pitt were pull out of victory. Yeah.
• 33:55
  And then the game of the week is going to be, I mean, surprise,
• 34:01
  surprise in the SEC is yes, Oklahoma goes, goes to
• 34:04
  Tuscaloosa. Oh, that's not the game of the
• 34:06
  week. What you got?
• 34:08
  Texas, Georgia. Is at Georgia. 2 top ten teams.
• 34:11
  My God. Well I mean God the the other
• 34:14
  ones 4 and 11 like. They're both in the College
• 34:17
  Football Playoffs. 10 versus They're both in the playoffs
• 34:20
  right now. They're both College Football
• 34:21
  Playoff qualified teams. So I mean, I know you put Texas
• 34:26
  in the playoff a week early, but now they are officially in the
• 34:29
  playoff. So yes, I think that that that
• 34:32
  Texas and Georgia game is probably the game of the week.
• 34:35
  ABC doubleheader too. You get, you get Texas or you
• 34:38
  get Oklahoma and Alabama at 3:30 and then followed by Texas and
• 34:41
  Georgia at 7:30. This is what ESPN was hoping for
• 34:44
  when they they got this deal. Yep, I can't watch it.
• 34:47
  I have YouTube TV. When is that going to come to an
• 34:50
  end? It's it's getting ridiculous.
• 34:52
  Like are you are you about to cancel?
• 34:54
  No, because I have your DIRECTV login.
• 34:55
  So thank you. But it's like, I guess, like
• 34:58
  people have to be about to cancel.
• 35:01
  I mean, I think there are people that have cancelled, are
• 35:03
  cancelling YouTube TV is offering a $20 credit on your
• 35:06
  next bill, which if you were to just go buy an ESPN package, I
• 35:10
  think you can get a base one for 20 bucks.
• 35:13
  So like, I mean, it's, it's, but it's, it'll cover the cost of
• 35:17
  you going and buying ESPN on your own.
• 35:20
  Like the only purpose for live TV, it's the only reason to have
• 35:25
  live TV is sports. And now you're paying for
• 35:28
  YouTube TV, like $100 a month, whatever it is, and you're not
• 35:33
  even getting sports. No, I still get Wheel of
• 35:37
  Fortune. I still get to watch Wheel of
• 35:38
  Fortune in Jeopardy though. It's on CBS.
• 35:40
  Well, I'm, I'm not going to, I think that streams on Paramount
• 35:44
  Plus like 30 minutes later. I'm not 100% sure on that but
• 35:50
  but like, that's not what you're getting live TV for.
• 35:53
  I know, but it really sucks because Louisville plays
• 35:57
  tomorrow night so I've got all day Saturday to watch some of
• 35:59
  these good college football games and guess I'll have to
• 36:02
  venture up to the Beer Nose 502 or something.
• 36:06
  What is They're not going to expect you there.
• 36:09
  Who is this guy? Going.
• 36:14
  To be a good crowd tomorrow night, I'm I'm I'm excited for
• 36:17
  the for the atmosphere, the always the the night games at
• 36:21
  L&N are fun and gotta get off that snide and take care of
• 36:24
  business against the a Clemson team that I think you should
• 36:26
  beat. Yeah, no, I mean, cards are
• 36:29
  favored. It will be a great atmosphere.
• 36:31
  It's a blackout. So anybody going to the game,
• 36:33
  make sure you wear your black. You know, Clemson has struggled,
• 36:38
  but at the same time you got to think they were pre season top
• 36:41
  five for a reason. They have talent.
• 36:43
  They have talent. It's not like you're playing
• 36:45
  some team that doesn't know how to play football.
• 36:47
  Like they've got NFL draft picks on both sides of the ball on
• 36:51
  that team. So it's a game that Louisville I
• 36:53
  think should win, can win, should win, but it's they're
• 36:57
  going to be in a fight. It's going to be a fight
• 36:58
  tomorrow night. So we didn't the crowd on
• 37:05
  Tuesday night and or Wednesday night when we were at the Young
• 37:08
  Center. I didn't notice them ever
• 37:10
  getting 67 points in either game.
• 37:13
  Did not then you played either. One of the crowds if if it
• 37:16
  happened, neither one of the crowds really did anything.
• 37:18
  No. But these continue to happen.
• 37:21
  Did you imagine in the Louisville, KY game on Tuesday
• 37:23
  night if everybody just joined together in harmony and did a
• 37:28
  6-7 because Michael Brown made a free throw or something?
• 37:31
  The Cats and Cards fans together 67 and like, get out of here.
• 37:36
  But you mentioned how it had happened in the Auburn women's
• 37:40
  game, yes, how they hit 67 on a free throw.
• 37:43
  So they had. It was it looked like Education
• 37:46
  Day because there was a lot of kids in same color T-shirts in
• 37:49
  different sections. So on Education Day, they pulled
• 37:52
  off the 6/7. But to take it another step
• 37:56
  further, Oklahoma State women's basketball head coach JC Hoyts,
• 38:03
  They're playing Prairie View and they're up by like a.
• 38:07
  Million. 4040. Yeah.
• 38:09
  They get to 67 with like I think it's in the end of the third
• 38:14
  quarter. Yeah.
• 38:15
  She calls time out. She calls time out to let the
• 38:21
  kids in the crowd just relish in the moment of scoring 67 points.
• 38:28
  She was doing it. She called time out and then she
• 38:30
  started celebrating it. And then you send me.
• 38:33
  Yeah, you send me the tweet and some guy named Scott and was
• 38:37
  like, well, let's what you got. To say, you got to say Jaycee's
• 38:40
  coach Hoyt's tweet first, she said.
• 38:44
  I'm not sure I've ever felt more pressure to call a timeout.
• 38:48
  Yeah, she did. And your boy Scott wasn't very
• 38:52
  like he responds to the tweet, not loving it.
• 38:54
  I'm, I'm, I'm on Scott's side here.
• 38:58
  What did you say? As a fellow person involved in
• 39:00
  the education of our youth, which I'm not, please don't
• 39:03
  encourage them lol. Great game or great start to the
• 39:06
  season. Go poke.
• 39:07
  So Scott, a big Oklahoma State fan, says coach, we got to put a
• 39:11
  stop to that. We can't be doing that.
• 39:13
  And I'm I'm on Scott's side here.
• 39:15
  Like this madness has to end. Well, guess what?
• 39:20
  It's not. I don't think it's going to.
• 39:23
  And now we got coaches in 40 point games calling time outs
• 39:28
  just to let the fans in the crowd go nuts because they got
• 39:31
  67 points. Which is What does it mean?
• 39:36
  What does it mean you're? Supposed to figure that out?
• 39:38
  You wore the costume for Halloween.
• 39:40
  It is your job to figure out. No, I wore the costume to annoy
• 39:44
  my children and it worked. It worked to perfection.
• 39:49
  They. Hated it.
• 39:50
  Yeah, of course they did. Like they think it's cool but
• 39:53
  when mom and dad start doing it they ain't cool anymore.
• 39:58
  Well, I think we're cooler than they are.
• 40:02
  Oh, we were way cooler. Like when we were kids, we were
• 40:04
  way cooler than today's youth. Like some of the things that we
• 40:09
  were doing. Way Coolerness 6-7 Skibbity.
• 40:13
  Yeah. Like playing pencil break on the
• 40:15
  bus. It's dude.
• 40:18
  I play pencil break every day on the bus.
• 40:20
  I had my good pencils. I'll bet you did.
• 40:24
  But doing those little, the little fortune teller things
• 40:28
  where you're moving it back and forth.
• 40:30
  Yep, I remember those. Those were cool, Yeah.
• 40:33
  I mean, this was what what we did back in the day.
• 40:35
  That was cool. I'll bet back in the day you
• 40:37
  thought Nick Evans was going to grow up in a mansion with five
• 40:40
  kids and drive a Corvette or something like that.
• 40:43
  I mean, he hoped. He hoped.
• 40:45
  I mean, that's what, that's what your little gidgets say, your
• 40:47
  little gizmo said you were going to do.
• 40:50
  Yeah, that's what that's what Stacy told me was going to
• 40:52
  happen. How's that working out for
• 40:56
  Stacey Lot? Stacey Lot.
• 40:59
  Man, how's that working out for you?
• 41:01
  It's not good, but you know one thing at least.
• 41:05
  At least I'm not standing in line fighting people for a
• 41:09
  Starbucks Bear Barista cup. Yeah, as much as we cuss out
• 41:13
  kids and how stupid they're being over this 6-7, like we as
• 41:16
  adults, what are we doing? Not me and you, but like what?
• 41:20
  What is this is just stupid. Why are we fighting people over
• 41:26
  a bear? A bear.
• 41:29
  A glass bear cup. It's a glass bear cup.
• 41:31
  That cost 20 bucks. And people all over the country
• 41:34
  are just throwing haymakers because Lucy got 1 and I did it.
• 41:39
  What do you do with it besides drink out of it?
• 41:41
  What are you going to sit on your shelf?
• 41:43
  You know, like display your your Starbucks cup for when friends
• 41:48
  and family come over and be like, hey guys, look what I got
• 41:51
  Starbucks there. Like what?
• 41:54
  And it's six months, you're going to forget about it.
• 41:56
  But we went through this same kind of this thing.
• 41:59
  Oh, then we went through the same thing when a new color of
• 42:02
  Stanley Tumblr came out in Target.
• 42:04
  People were throwing haymakers over the red Stanley tumblers.
• 42:07
  Like this is ridiculous. We're a couple weeks away from
• 42:11
  Black Friday where people are going to be just punching each
• 42:14
  other so I can get $100.42 inch TV like but like these.
• 42:23
  These Black Friday brawls like that's a tradition like you
• 42:26
  always have a good Black Friday brawl that's what America is is
• 42:29
  all about is, you know, just fighting each other over that
• 42:32
  $20 off a a Garmin GPS system that you put in your car you
• 42:36
  said $100.42 inch TV that's probably going to break in about
• 42:39
  6 months so yeah, I mean that that's just that's holiday
• 42:42
  tradition is Black Friday fighting but they.
• 42:44
  Are you can have that cups and baby I ain't getting in like.
• 42:48
  And nobody actually. Your right mind gets out in that
• 42:51
  mess on black. Friday, nobody.
• 42:53
  That's actually. Like there's a time value of
• 42:56
  money and I get up at 4:30 to stay in the line at Target to
• 42:59
  get a toaster. No.
• 43:02
  For two months like. I mean, no, nobody that's
• 43:06
  actually intelligent does this, but there are many.
• 43:08
  But you always hear like you see it on the news.
• 43:10
  There's It's good quality entertainment when you see a
• 43:13
  good Black Friday brawl, but like numerous family or still
• 43:17
  fighting over a Starbucks bear is just.
• 43:20
  And asinine, well, this thing is they're saying it's retailed for
• 43:23
  as much as $500.00. So before we get on the show,
• 43:27
  before we get on the, before we got on the show tonight, I've
• 43:30
  got one on eBay and no, I'm not bidding.
• 43:32
  I'm just washing it. Following bidding, I know you
• 43:35
  were bidding. I'm bidding.
• 43:37
  I knew you were bidding. So this thing we're getting
• 43:40
  ready to go on there and I was like it's two, it's up to $230.
• 43:43
  How how do you think it'll get? And it got to 274 bucks, so I
• 43:48
  know for a fact people are at least paying 274 bucks for these
• 43:51
  things. You went up to 270 and couldn't
• 43:53
  go anymore, huh? All right, this is that was my
• 43:56
  budget. That was my budget.
• 43:59
  I mean, it looks like a giant honey jar.
• 44:02
  No, it absolutely. You can go to the grocery and
• 44:05
  get that like you like Little Bear, the honey bear thing.
• 44:07
  Just go get one of those and fill it up with water and you
• 44:10
  have the same thing. If the exact put some coffee in
• 44:13
  it, whatever. One's glass and one's plastic,
• 44:15
  but they look the same. Like I just.
• 44:20
  We need to be like a we have like a Starbucks expert that we
• 44:23
  can get on the show any of our friends or friends wives that
• 44:26
  want to talk about the allure of the Starbucks bear.
• 44:30
  And look, I know like I have a hard enough time understanding
• 44:33
  what my own life is like. Half like I just I don't
• 44:37
  understand my own life. Like I ain't going to go to try
• 44:40
  to understand somebody's life at Starbucks.
• 44:42
  It's hit Co conking somebody over the head for a bear cup but
• 44:48
  it's just so hard not to like just try to understand what is
• 44:53
  going on in your head. I think that they're not fully.
• 44:57
  Yep, they've got a few brain cells loose.
• 45:00
  Do you think so though? Like there's that many people in
• 45:02
  this country that are have lost brain cells.
• 45:05
  Yeah, yeah. Yep.
• 45:09
  For for a bear cub like, what's worse, trying to fight somebody
• 45:13
  in line or paying $300 on eBay? I mean, if I really, really,
• 45:20
  really wanted the Starbucks bear, I'm probably just going to
• 45:23
  pay the 300 bucks on eBay. I.
• 45:25
  Don't think you were going to say the other thing.
• 45:26
  No, I'm going to go fight somebody.
• 45:29
  Oh, forget that thing. Definitely.
• 45:30
  Not worth fighting somebody over like no like if I really.
• 45:33
  Want, if you really like, let's say your girl's like I gotta
• 45:36
  have it, your wife's Erica's like I gotta have it no matter
• 45:40
  what I think. So you paying $300.00 for that
• 45:43
  thing? I'll send her into the fight and
• 45:45
  see if she comes out with one. You can take her, go get it.
• 45:51
  I'll drop her off. I'll drop her off the Starbucks
• 45:53
  and see if she comes out with a couple black eyes and a glass
• 45:57
  bear. I you come out of the dirt like
• 46:02
  you're all bloodied up, but you hold that bear up.
• 46:05
  I got it, honey, I got it. Same you.
• 46:09
  You better drink out that damn thing every day for the until
• 46:11
  Christmas is over. Is it even a holiday bear?
• 46:16
  Is it like a little Santa Claus hat on or something?
• 46:18
  I don't, I don't think it it's a holiday thing.
• 46:20
  I don't know if it has like a hat on it.
• 46:25
  I what do they call it? A barista.
• 46:27
  Very. Oh, that's a play.
• 46:30
  So I didn't notice the play on the word.
• 46:32
  I'm not that good at puns, obviously.
• 46:35
  Yeah, I think it's called the barista.
• 46:37
  Barry still but. No, not worth it for me.
• 46:44
  Do you? I'd never thought we'd talk
• 46:47
  about a cup at Starbucks for 10 minutes on the on the height
• 46:50
  differential. I will say that no.
• 46:53
  Do you see Miss Chili? You show me.
• 46:57
  Yeah, it's pretty. I mean, Miss Universe or what?
• 47:01
  What pageant was this? Is Miss Chili like she was in
• 47:05
  the competition to become Miss Chili?
• 47:08
  Oh, it was poor Miss Chili. Oh.
• 47:09
  Yeah, it was poor Miss Chili. Yeah, but I mean, we've all seen
• 47:13
  these beauty pageants, and normally when there's a talent
• 47:17
  portion, they're going up there and most part singing, right?
• 47:22
  Yeah, someone will do some dances.
• 47:24
  They find a violin or something, yeah.
• 47:27
  Maybe do ventriloquist Maybe. So some state up comedy maybe?
• 47:32
  Yeah. Stand up comedy?
• 47:33
  Yeah, you've seen that. Yeah.
• 47:35
  So. But this Miss Chili gets up
• 47:39
  there and she starts singing heavy metal, like the heaviest
• 47:45
  heavy metal, like just that you'll ever see.
• 47:50
  And. Karaoke is like Disturbed or
• 47:52
  some corn, something like that, like.
• 47:55
  I don't know the song, dude. I don't know anything about
• 47:57
  heavy metal, but I mean strike it's and she's just gorgeous too
• 48:04
  and just gets up there and it just just like what is happening
• 48:10
  and she ends up she ends up. Winning.
• 48:13
  Well, I mean, she probably intimidated some people with
• 48:16
  that talent that they were probably like, if we don't take
• 48:18
  her to win, she's probably got an aggressive side.
• 48:20
  Obviously, she's probably going to come kill us.
• 48:23
  Yeah, Ignacio Fernandez. And I guess she won.
• 48:30
  Did she win because she sang death metal or did she win
• 48:32
  because she's, I mean, I had to see the rest of the competition.
• 48:36
  I imagine they're all really pretty.
• 48:38
  But I mean, I mean, I it's I mean, I Can't Sing death metal.
• 48:43
  I don't know if my voice can can do that.
• 48:45
  So props to her because I think that actually is a really
• 48:48
  impressive talent. So it's probably more impressive
• 48:51
  than just singing normal. I mean if I tried to do it for
• 48:55
  one verse by I would be done for a month like I don't.
• 48:58
  Know how they do it? I think it's more talented for,
• 49:02
  you know, a beauty pageant contestant to have the voice to
• 49:05
  do heavy metal than if somebody was just up there singing Taylor
• 49:08
  Swift. It's just so different.
• 49:10
  It stands out like we wouldn't be talking about it if you're
• 49:13
  singing Tim McGraw. It's correct, it's a talent,
• 49:16
  it's you got to be talented to do it and she pulled it off so.
• 49:19
  So I think that definitely helped her stand out amongst the
• 49:22
  others. 1000% is why we're talking about it.
• 49:25
  That's why she's been all over these these news shows and now
• 49:30
  she's Miss Chile. So I don't know if she's I know
• 49:33
  there's different competitions, right?
• 49:34
  There's Miss America and Miss USAI.
• 49:36
  Don't know which one. She's.
• 49:38
  One of those has talent and one of those don't.
• 49:41
  I don't know which one is which. I'm assuming now she'll go on to
• 49:44
  compete on a world stage against other countries, right?
• 49:47
  So we'll, people are going. To be paying attention.
• 49:50
  We will see her again. I'll TuneIn.
• 49:53
  But yeah, pretty cool. I mean, death metal never been
• 49:57
  my thing. I just don't understand what at
• 50:00
  what point you would want to listen to that.
• 50:03
  Like, I mean, yeah, there's, there's people, I mean, to teach
• 50:06
  their own people. Like, I mean, that's not my
• 50:08
  thing either. I mean, we'll stick to the, the
• 50:10
  country music and you know, a little bit of hip hop and some,
• 50:14
  some classic rock or something, I don't know.
• 50:15
  But there's, there's, there's definitely a following for it, I
• 50:18
  mean. Are you listening to it to get
• 50:20
  you pumped up or is like, are you just driving to work?
• 50:24
  Listen to that. I think people just listen to it
• 50:25
  to get out their aggressions. You've seen these mosh pits.
• 50:28
  I mean how people don't just get killed in these things are
• 50:31
  insane. So I mean, it's so I think
• 50:34
  people listen to it to get out some rage, get out some
• 50:36
  aggression and maybe Miss Chilly had some aggression, just needed
• 50:39
  to get it out. Well, I got all this aggression.
• 50:41
  I mean, I don't listen to heavy metal.
• 50:43
  What do you listen to? Listen to country and hip hop.
• 50:47
  Because you don't have any aggression.
• 50:48
  We don't have aggression. You don't need to.
• 50:50
  I think everybody has aggression, Neil.
• 50:54
  But not to the point to where I'm in a mosh pit.
• 50:56
  Oh good, I ain't getting no mosh pit.
• 50:58
  I ain't that is That is not the same for me.
• 51:00
  I don't. Even you would never if you got.
• 51:02
  Like going to festivals where it's just a bunch of people.
• 51:04
  Bro, if you got in a mosh pit, you're not coming out of that
• 51:06
  mosh pit, I could tell you. Well, I ain't a lot sitting at
• 51:09
  the table on on Tuesday. I'm like dude if they rush to
• 51:12
  court and start coming over top here.
• 51:15
  We ain't rushing to court, my guy.
• 51:17
  I I was wondering for a second, but I was glad they didn't.
• 51:20
  No, no, I don't even think it crossed anybody's mind.
• 51:23
  And I and I, it made me very happy, but you just never know,
• 51:27
  especially with all the students there.
• 51:29
  Yeah, and the student, I'll give the students section credit.
• 51:31
  They were they were great the whole game.
• 51:32
  Yeah, but I guess they're close. You said they're putting up
• 51:38
  Christmas decorations. Yeah.
• 51:40
  You stated it's too early. It is too early.
• 51:43
  When is the proper time? I've always been, I've always
• 51:46
  been the Thanksgiving, you know, that once, once Thanksgiving
• 51:49
  hits, that's when the Christmas decorations go up.
• 51:53
  Erica. Erica seems to disagree with
• 51:55
  that. The kids will.
• 51:56
  I mean, if it was up to the kids, the Christmas decorations
• 51:58
  would be up all year. So, yeah, you can tell them
• 52:00
  we're putting it up in July and they'd be pumped.
• 52:03
  But I don't know. I mean, I, I, I understand it
• 52:06
  because it's a lot of work to decorate for Christmas and you
• 52:09
  probably want to maximize the time that the decorations are
• 52:11
  up. But it's just, to me, it's too
• 52:13
  early. It's just too early.
• 52:15
  It I agree, but I also understand it.
• 52:19
  I mean it's getting earlier and earlier as soon as Halloween's
• 52:22
  over it's Christmas and you're seeing commercials for Christmas
• 52:26
  on November the 1st and I don't remember it being like that, but
• 52:31
  that's the way it is now. And but you're right.
• 52:34
  I mean, if your kids love it, do it like it, like it don't affect
• 52:37
  you, like let them do it and they're.
• 52:40
  Nice. Yeah, they are nice to look at.
• 52:42
  I mean, I can understand interior decorations going up
• 52:48
  earlier than the extra. Like you're not putting
• 52:50
  Christmas lights on your house before Thanksgiving.
• 52:52
  If you got Christmas lights up right now, I'm going to judge
• 52:54
  you. Well, to to the to the argue
• 52:59
  against that like it's going to be nice this weekend.
• 53:01
  You don't know how many more nice days you're going to have.
• 53:04
  So, so all the I almost think that's.
• 53:08
  All. Above interior because of that.
• 53:11
  So you think all the Clark Briswolds are going to come out
• 53:13
  of the the woodwork this weekend stapling lights on the.
• 53:15
  Top of their houses 1000% Every house will be decorated next
• 53:19
  week. This is the time.
• 53:20
  Because it's going to be beautiful all weekend.
• 53:22
  It's going to be the 60s all weekend here in Louisville.
• 53:25
  And I mean, everybody's going to be up on their roof putting
• 53:30
  their reindeers and their their Santa Clauses and and their
• 53:32
  lights. Some exterior illumination.
• 53:36
  When do you take everything down?
• 53:39
  After New Year, you leave it up that extra week I.
• 53:43
  Think it is that's the the right answer.
• 53:45
  Yeah. I mean, to me the the answer is
• 53:48
  Thanksgiving to New Year's. Yeah, I mean.
• 53:50
  That's when Christmas is the holiday.
• 53:51
  I mean, that's the holiday season.
• 53:53
  That's when that is the holiday season.
• 53:55
  Also, like we are we disrespecting Thanksgiving?
• 54:00
  We're just completely disregarding it.
• 54:02
  I mean, when you start putting Christmas decorations up before
• 54:05
  Thanksgiving, you are. You're just disrespecting
• 54:07
  Thanksgiving by right now putting Christmas decorations
• 54:10
  up. I I that's why I don't agree
• 54:12
  with it. I love Thanksgiving.
• 54:13
  Like this is a whole other topic I'm throwing it out there.
• 54:15
  Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.
• 54:18
  It's the greatest day in the history of days.
• 54:20
  You don't have to worry about buying gifts about for anything.
• 54:24
  You don't have to decorate for it.
• 54:26
  You just eat a bunch of great food and watch football and take
• 54:30
  a nap. It's it's a great day.
• 54:33
  It's a great day. It's an unbelievable holiday.
• 54:36
  My Thanksgivings have been different over the last 10 years
• 54:40
  because I've worked for college basketball teams and now I'm
• 54:43
  travelling to work college basketball tournament.
• 54:45
  You need to go to the beach. Yes, I'm going to the Cayman
• 54:49
  Islands and working that basketball tournament.
• 54:52
  But I mean, for the two years that I worked for Morehead, the
• 54:55
  five years working for Louisville, I was never home for
• 54:57
  Thanksgiving over that that span.
• 54:59
  So I'm used to being on the road in Thanksgiving and then I get
• 55:02
  out of athletics for two years in a row.
• 55:05
  I'm home for Thanksgiving. And now they're like, hey, do
• 55:07
  you want to come work this tournament, the Caymans?
• 55:09
  And you don't say no to that. Well, I hope you have a nice
• 55:13
  little slice of pumpkin pie while with your toes in the
• 55:15
  sand. We're doing Thanksgiving on
• 55:17
  Sunday. I know you love it when we do,
• 55:21
  when people do holidays, when it ain't the actual holiday.
• 55:24
  But we, as Evans family, will be doing Thanksgiving dinner on
• 55:28
  Sunday. Well, the Evans family just
• 55:31
  loves you so much that they changed their entire holiday
• 55:33
  just for you. Well they just for me.
• 55:35
  My sister also was a nurse and I don't know if you know this or
• 55:38
  not, but nurses sometimes have to work holidays and so she will
• 55:43
  be working on Thanksgiving because she always works
• 55:46
  Thanksgiving and is off Christmas.
• 55:48
  Yeah, but they could have done Thanksgiving the day before
• 55:50
  Thanksgiving the day after Thanksgiving, something around
• 55:53
  actual Thanksgiving. That's not.
• 55:55
  I mean, we're probably closer to Halloween right now than we are
• 55:58
  actual Thanksgiving. So you're basically having
• 56:00
  Thanksgiving on Halloween? It's very, I don't know, I don't
• 56:03
  know the math on that, but. I think it's close.
• 56:07
  I don't even know when the actual Thanksgiving.
• 56:08
  We're two weeks away from Thanksgiving, right?
• 56:11
  From today, yeah. So yeah, 14 days compared to.
• 56:14
  Almost identical, but you're a little bit closer to Halloween.
• 56:17
  Yeah. So, but we decided officially
• 56:24
  Thanksgiving to New Year's, I'll actually give you new January
• 56:28
  2nd. Yeah, because.
• 56:31
  You're not going to take it down on New Year's Day.
• 56:33
  No, because you're hungover from celebrating.
• 56:35
  But like January 2nd or 3rd, January 2nd or 3rd, it's time to
• 56:38
  take it down. Yep.
• 56:40
  Are you going to listen to any Christmas music?
• 56:43
  And if so, when do you begin doing that?
• 56:45
  It's already on. It's on the radio stations
• 56:48
  already. You're not listening to it.
• 56:49
  No Thanksgiving, that's what. That's when it starts.
• 56:52
  Everything starts the day after thing on or the day after
• 56:55
  Thanksgiving. OK, I'm a lot like.
• 57:00
  I bet you're not even a Christmas music guy, are you?
• 57:03
  Like the week of do. You even like it.
• 57:07
  A week of I'll turn on boys to Men's Christmas album.
• 57:11
  You got a favorite Christmas? Yeah.
• 57:13
  I mean, we can save this for another show, but you got a, You
• 57:15
  got a favorite Christmas Carol. Christmas Carol.
• 57:18
  A favorite Christmas song. I feel like we're jumping the
• 57:20
  gun on this a little bit. We can say like we're just
• 57:23
  already talking about how we're disrespecting Thanksgiving.
• 57:25
  You're right. And now that's, that's true.
• 57:27
  We're not. Talking about it?
• 57:28
  Nope. We'll save that for for after
• 57:29
  Thanksgiving. And we also like, like next
• 57:32
  Wednesday, we'll do your favorite food at Thanksgiving.
• 57:36
  Yeah. And we'll, we'll rank that, but
• 57:38
  we're not even, we're not even to that point yet.
• 57:42
  Yeah, we're not even to that point yet, but.
• 57:44
  We're still trying to get through this Halloween candy
• 57:46
  that's sitting in the kitchen trying to eat through all that.
• 57:48
  Send something my way dude. I got you.
• 57:52
  Send something my way. I got you.
• 57:55
  So Cards beat the Cats for the first time in five years since
• 58:02
  2000. And I think the number one take
• 58:07
  away obviously is the Cards winning.
• 58:09
  But the Cats Cards rivalry is, is officially back on the
• 58:13
  national stage and that's a that's a really good thing.
• 58:17
  And hey, thank you to PK for doing that.
• 58:21
  Yep, Yep, Because Tuesday night was fun and it was fun for
• 58:26
  Kentucky fans too, until I know they lost.
• 58:28
  But being there it was, it was a great environment for everybody.
• 58:31
  Yes. So we'll be back on Sunday to
• 58:36
  break down all we will be back, right?
• 58:40
  I don't see why we wouldn't. The Bengals do play.
• 58:43
  But yeah, but we're not, we're not going.
• 58:45
  We're not going to Pittsburgh. Are we?
• 58:47
  Will we be a tailgaters? Well, I've just told you I have
• 58:50
  Thanksgiving dinner. Oh yeah, you did.
• 58:53
  Oh, my God. Well, I don't know.
• 58:56
  Are you? Going to be able I.
• 58:58
  Mean, are you going to be able to do a pod when you're stuffed
• 59:00
  full of Turkey and stuffing and pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce
• 59:04
  and the whole, Oh yeah, whole 9 yards?
• 59:06
  You'll be all right. It'll be I'll be primed for a
• 59:09
  pod with all that food in my belly.
• 59:13
  The good news is originally it was going to be on Saturday that
• 59:16
  our Thanksgiving dinner, but it got moved to Sunday because of
• 59:18
  some some basketball games from the nieces and nephews.
• 59:22
  Then I would have missed the day at debauchery with gambling day.
• 59:25
  Yeah, with, with, with, with, with the with Josh and and the
• 59:30
  crew so excited. We can, I can, I can partake,
• 59:34
  partake in that and then have Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday
• 59:36
  there. You go.
• 59:38
  I want to squeeze in some golf would have been so nice, but I
• 59:40
  don't. There's too much going on.
• 59:41
  You played 27 holes last weekend.
• 59:43
  My God, I think you're fine. I'm playing pretty well right
• 59:46
  now. I want to keep playing.
• 59:48
  About time. Have you watched any of the
• 59:50
  barstools Internet thing? No, but I saw beef was playing.
• 59:54
  RIP to beef. Dude, it's terrible.
• 59:57
  But yeah, I I watched a little bit of it today when I got home
• 1:00:00
  from work. Like they're all like 3 hours
• 1:00:03
  long. I don't know how you can just
• 1:00:05
  sit there and watch all of it, but.
• 1:00:07
  It makes me be like, why didn't we have this many cameras when
• 1:00:10
  we had Rowdy Cup last week? Because that would have been
• 1:00:12
  awesome to watch. Well, it's all been focused on
• 1:00:14
  Joe Ziegler, yes. Yes.
• 1:00:17
  So all right, I think that's enough.
• 1:00:20
  Yeah, we'll should be back on Sunday night with full bellies
• 1:00:25
  after I have my Thanksgiving dinner.
• 1:00:27
  And hopefully we're talking about the Bengals maybe being
• 1:00:31
  back in in the AFC North division race, but with Joe
• 1:00:35
  Burrow on the horizon. But.
• 1:00:37
  Like I hold my breath on that one.
• 1:00:39
  Me neither, but for Neil, I'm Nick.
