- 0:56Speaker 1: two days, and I don't. I didn't have any ice packs.
- 0:58Speaker 1: So last night I went to the freezer like two am.
- 1:02Speaker 1: Blueberries were the only thing I had, frozen blueberries. I
- 1:05Speaker 1: woke up just a blueberry explosion all over my bed,
- 1:09Speaker 1: like they got out of the bag. They melted, they
- 1:12Speaker 1: got out of the bag. They're everywhere, and I still
- 1:15Speaker 1: have hives all over my legs. Clart and help, may

- 1:40Speaker 1: That's how That's how bad it is. Did you guys
- 1:45Speaker 1: have like adult chicken pox? Not adult I had I
- 1:47Speaker 1: was two years old, chicken pot But do you remember that? No,
- 1:50Speaker 1: that's the reason why I've never had chicken Oh that's bad. No,
- 1:52Speaker 1: I got a vaccine. You got a vaccine for chicken pots. Yeah. Oh,
- 1:58Speaker 1: my mom doesn't remember if I got chicken pox. So
- 2:00Speaker 1: I'm kind of on the fence here. I could maybe
- 2:02Speaker 1: get adult chicken pox and it would be bad or
- 2:05Speaker 1: I've already dealt with it. But I imagine this is
- 2:11Speaker 1: so if you're at Homeless, Rachel, we have a surprise
- 2:13Speaker 1: for you. Send some teason coming into right now. Yes,
- 2:17Speaker 1: the guys, this isn't gonna help me. I can for
- 2:23Speaker 1: our audio listeners, a foam finger was just delivered to rage. Oh.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Actually this kind of feels like nice because it's like rough. Okay,
- 2:32Speaker 1: I'll stop, I'll stop. I don't nobody touched that burn it. Okay, guys,
- 2:36Speaker 1: let's get to the episode. Just so you know, I'm
- 2:37Speaker 1: a little bit preoccupied right now because my life is
- 2:40Speaker 1: on fire. Okay, So last week on this podcast, we
- 2:43Speaker 1: talked about the most bullied quarterbacks in the league, or
- 2:46Speaker 1: just like the most bullied people we think. Russell Wilson
- 2:49Speaker 1: was at the tippity top. Who else do we have
- 2:51Speaker 1: in there? Baker Mayfield was in there, Carson Wentz was
- 2:55Speaker 1: in there, Jared Goff was in there. And then it
- 2:57Speaker 1: was brought to my attention there was actually a list
- 3:00Speaker 1: made before the season kicked off. Okay, if you're watching,
- 3:04Speaker 1: you can see it up on the screen right now.
- 3:06Speaker 1: If you're listening, I'll read off, who are the top?
- 3:09Speaker 1: This is a list of NFL's most like players ahead
- 3:12Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty two season. Okay, so at the
- 3:14Speaker 1: tippy top Patrick Mahomes. I think that that is very fair.
- 3:18Speaker 1: Everyone loves to watch him play. He seems like a
- 3:20Speaker 1: really cool guy. He's got this unique voice, just had
- 3:23Speaker 1: a baby. Everyone's all in on Patrick Mahomes. Number two
- 3:26Speaker 1: is Russell Wilson. They're tied there. You're right, they are tied.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Tom Brady's not even up there. Tom Brady is third,
- 3:34Speaker 1: then Matt Stafford, Matt Ryan kirk Cousins is number six.
- 3:40Speaker 1: Who made this? What is net favorability rating among us adults? Like? Whoa?
- 3:48Speaker 1: What went into this? But even like, I don't remember
- 3:51Speaker 1: anybody that was like stoked on Russell Wilson heading into
- 3:54Speaker 1: the season. You got Seahawks fans that are like, Okay,
- 3:56Speaker 1: screw you. You had him do the cringiest video maybe
- 4:00Speaker 1: of all time, and let's ride. I don't know who listen.
- 4:04Speaker 1: I love Russell Wilson because he's the gift that keeps
- 4:06Speaker 1: on giving. He's a content machine. I've already told you
- 4:08Speaker 1: to go check out his TikTok, but please, if you
- 4:10Speaker 1: haven't going to it now? Are you guys surprised to
- 4:13Speaker 1: see Russell Wilson up there so high? Yes, did he
- 4:16Speaker 1: make this? You know? I think that he must have
- 4:19Speaker 1: made this list because if you put himself number one,
- 4:21Speaker 1: it would have been way too obvious. He had to
- 4:23Speaker 1: put himself number two beside Patrick Mahomes. You know his
- 4:26Speaker 1: alter ego, right who what mister? Um oh? That just
- 4:34Speaker 1: tanks him to the very bottom of the list. Now, no,
- 4:37Speaker 1: he's at the top. He's the most likable quarterback along
- 4:40Speaker 1: with Patrick Mahomes, according to whatever nonsense survey this is.
- 4:43Speaker 1: It's not even oh my good, not even most like quarterback,
- 4:46Speaker 1: it's just most like players we got. Travis Kelsey is
- 4:49Speaker 1: pretty high on this. Travis Kelsey's like top ten, but
- 4:51Speaker 1: I would agree with that. He's a really fun guy.
- 4:54Speaker 1: AJ Green's on here, Amari Cooper, Randall, cob what is
- 4:58Speaker 1: this list from? I'm kind of obsessed. Is this like
- 5:01Speaker 1: the NFL Top one hundred where their teammates just stuffed
- 5:04Speaker 1: the ballot box for them? Anyways, I'm pretty sure Russell
- 5:08Speaker 1: Wilson put this out there to uh sway the NFL viewers,
- 5:12Speaker 1: but it didn't work in our books. Um okay, let's
- 5:14Speaker 1: talk about some of the games that we were excited
- 5:15Speaker 1: about for this week because it is going down there
- 5:17Speaker 1: are some really great ones. I am going to London.
- 5:20Speaker 1: I am leaving on a jet plane to London Friday night.
- 5:25Speaker 1: I've never gone to London. What is that flight? Like?
- 5:27Speaker 1: Eight hours? Eight hours? And I got freaking hives. People,
- 5:31Speaker 1: I think it's a little longer than No. Ten, it's ten.
- 5:35Speaker 1: I thought it was eight. Oh my god, I'm gonna
- 5:40Speaker 1: be I'm gonna be like posted up ice packs all
- 5:42Speaker 1: over my legs. I'm gonna be like walking down the
- 5:44Speaker 1: aisle to make sure, like my legs don't blow up.
- 5:47Speaker 1: Mo On, can you tap in and do this for me?
- 5:50Speaker 1: I hope they let you on the plane with the
- 5:52Speaker 1: hive situation. That is the rudest thing that you've ever said.
- 5:54Speaker 1: I'm already very self, Marty Ferry, and on planes your
- 5:59Speaker 1: your I know, Okay, I'm gonna be and ice and
- 6:06Speaker 1: my dog because i'mody walking around making sure everything's all good.
- 6:09Speaker 1: Should bring some of my ice sleeves for you. Oh
- 6:12Speaker 1: you put ice in those gravers? Well, they you just
- 6:14Speaker 1: freeze them. They're like a liquidy gel. Whatever. I wonder
- 6:18Speaker 1: if I can get little pants, little frozen pants. They're
- 6:21Speaker 1: very like relieving. I went to the doctor today. They
- 6:25Speaker 1: gave me like some souped ups. They were like, we
- 6:27Speaker 1: can give you a shot of steroids and we'll give
- 6:28Speaker 1: you the cream. And I was like, give me a
- 6:30Speaker 1: shaw and they're like and then I was just like
- 6:34Speaker 1: I'm gonna be They're like, what's your next, like twenty
- 6:36Speaker 1: four hours like, and I was like, well, I have
- 6:37Speaker 1: to go to work and then I'm gonna be on
- 6:38Speaker 1: a plane. I'm going to London. And they're like, okay,
- 6:40Speaker 1: I know we're not gonna give you the steroids because
- 6:41Speaker 1: you will not sleep, You'll just be. I'll be like,
- 6:44Speaker 1: I can pump some iron on the plane, no problem.
- 6:46Speaker 1: I don't get I don't get tested. Okay. So there's
- 6:49Speaker 1: some really great games. I'm gonna be in London. I'm
- 6:51Speaker 1: gonna be on Sky Sports covering uh Miami Bills, which
- 6:56Speaker 1: I'm very excited about. This game is going to be
- 6:58Speaker 1: absolutely insane. You know who's a classy gent. I know
- 7:02Speaker 1: that I didn't put him on my top three really
- 7:05Speaker 1: cool guys in the NFL right now last week, but
- 7:07Speaker 1: you did. After a little discussion. I did a little swaying.
- 7:10Speaker 1: It's Josh Allen look at He went on Kyle Brand's
- 7:12Speaker 1: basement also shout out again to KB. He's gonna be
- 7:15Speaker 1: on our show every single week. And this is what
- 7:17Speaker 1: he said. Two is playing fantastic right now, which sucks
- 7:20Speaker 1: as a Bills fan and for a Bills player to see.
- 7:23Speaker 1: You don't want to see your division rivals winning football games.
- 7:25Speaker 1: But I'm proud of him for all the adversity and
- 7:28Speaker 1: stuff and all the naysayers and stuff like that, because
- 7:30Speaker 1: I can relate to that a lot of that. He's
- 7:31Speaker 1: playing really good football right now. I hate to see it,
- 7:34Speaker 1: but it's very good for him. Listen, no matter what
- 7:36Speaker 1: side you're on, whether you like the Bills or you
- 7:38Speaker 1: like the Dolphins, the total amount of points that these
- 7:43Speaker 1: teams are going to score are gonna be very very high.
- 7:45Speaker 1: I am going the defense. Just leave, just leave, leave
- 7:49Speaker 1: the stadium, Leave the stadium, get in your cars and
- 7:51Speaker 1: drive away. I just want to see these two quarterbacks
- 7:54Speaker 1: in these two offenses just absolutely go for it. Are
- 7:57Speaker 1: you guys excited for this game as much as I am? Yes,
- 8:00Speaker 1: Game of the week, Game of the week easily. That's
- 8:02Speaker 1: why it's on Sky Sports like when quarterbacks give love
- 8:05Speaker 1: to each other like that, and then two A call
- 8:07Speaker 1: Josh Allen A Beasts, I love It's good. Into the game,
- 8:11Speaker 1: I love it. And then there's just something so exciting
- 8:13Speaker 1: about But I mean, these are arguably outside of the Chiefs,
- 8:17Speaker 1: but Chiefs aren't really exciting because that's like old hat.
- 8:19Speaker 1: The Dolphins and the Bills I would say, are the
- 8:22Speaker 1: most exciting teams in the NFL right now, and then
- 8:25Speaker 1: they play each other, which is just such a treat
- 8:28Speaker 1: for week three, Like we already get a game like
- 8:30Speaker 1: this so early, so I am so excited for this one.
- 8:34Speaker 1: Another one that's gonna be great, I think. And also
- 8:35Speaker 1: just very interesting is Bucks Packers because we're still trying
- 8:39Speaker 1: to figure out what is going on with Tom Brady.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Like every single press conference he does, it's it's less
- 8:43Speaker 1: jokey and more concerned, Like his face is sunken. I
- 8:47Speaker 1: don't know if he's on like another Juice cleans or
- 8:50Speaker 1: if his life's just bad right now, I've been there.
- 8:53Speaker 1: And then you got Aaron Rodgers on the other side.
- 8:56Speaker 1: You know, week one, we were like, oh my god,
- 8:57Speaker 1: who is he gonna throw to? Like who are his
- 8:59Speaker 1: who are his web Pins and then week two he
- 9:01Speaker 1: threw two touchdowns, one receiving, one rushing. Aaron Jones Is
- 9:05Speaker 1: Aaron Jones just the next Deebo Samuel? He's just gonna
- 9:07Speaker 1: be what what does a debo call himself? Um? Army
- 9:11Speaker 1: knife running? No, a wide back? A wide back? Maybe
- 9:15Speaker 1: he's just gonna be Yeah, and also Swiss army knife. Maybe.
- 9:17Speaker 1: Maybe it's just Aaron Jones and Naron Rodgers getting the
- 9:21Speaker 1: getting the job done against the Bears. So I'm excited
- 9:24Speaker 1: to see what that offense looks like against an actual,
- 9:27Speaker 1: like really solid team. Um, what do you guys thinking
- 9:31Speaker 1: that one? Is that one going to be as good
- 9:32Speaker 1: as expector is it gonna be like, oh okay, yeah,
- 9:34Speaker 1: I know the Packers aren't very good this year. I
- 9:36Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a good game. I mean, anytime
- 9:38Speaker 1: you get these two quarterbacks on the field together, you
- 9:40Speaker 1: know at least the offenses will be somewhat competent and
- 9:44Speaker 1: that makes for more fun football. Yeah, you gotta get
- 9:46Speaker 1: up for that one, right do Aaron Rodgers and Tomber
- 9:49Speaker 1: do you think they have a good relationship? They are
- 9:51Speaker 1: the two goat, the goadiest goats. Yeah, that's right, Well,
- 9:56Speaker 1: that's fun. Then uh and then the next one this
- 9:58Speaker 1: is this is the another and it's just like on
- 10:00Speaker 1: my radar for being like very interesting Bengals Jets. I
- 10:04Speaker 1: know that on paper, you're like, oh, obviously the Bengals
- 10:06Speaker 1: are gonna win this. Listen, Joe Burrow deleted his Instagram
- 10:10Speaker 1: and Twitter this week. I think that that is very interesting.
- 10:14Speaker 1: That tells me that he is in his head death
- 10:17Speaker 1: or yeah, that Bengals fans have been coming at him
- 10:21Speaker 1: on social media. I think it's I think it's that,
- 10:22Speaker 1: and I think he's just like I just I got
- 10:25Speaker 1: sum's wrong, sums up. And then you look on the
- 10:29Speaker 1: other side, the way that the Jets won last week
- 10:30Speaker 1: against the Browns, like that's got to give you a
- 10:33Speaker 1: little bit of pep in your step. So what are
- 10:35Speaker 1: they going to look like going up against this Bengals team.
- 10:37Speaker 1: I know the Jets are the Jets, but like, still,
- 10:39Speaker 1: this is what Joe Burrow said about deleting his Instagram
- 10:41Speaker 1: and Twitter. Not focused on what's going on there. I'm
- 10:43Speaker 1: sure it's not a very good reaction. I think it
- 10:46Speaker 1: will be a different reaction as we get going here.
- 10:48Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. But maybe maybe he's
- 10:51Speaker 1: thinking that, you know, all of us are going to
- 10:53Speaker 1: have the same reaction, like, oh no, he's deleting his
- 10:54Speaker 1: Instagram Twitter. Obviously it's getting to him, but maybe he's
- 10:57Speaker 1: planning on turning turning the jets on. If you will,
- 11:01Speaker 1: I'll tell you my thoughts on this game when we
- 11:02Speaker 1: get to our pick six segments, which is coming up,
- 11:04Speaker 1: by the way, and before we go to break, we
- 11:07Speaker 1: need some benched buzz in our life. What's the update.
- 11:12Speaker 1: It's time for benched buzz. We're bringing you all the
- 11:16Speaker 1: hottest goss from the NFL world. Let's go live to
- 11:20Speaker 1: our feature correspondent, Rachel Bonetta, Feature correspondent only correspondent, Mom,
- 11:28Speaker 1: this should be your segment. You should be our bench
- 11:30Speaker 1: buzz correspondent. Like the gospel that that you're not in,
- 11:34Speaker 1: you're not buying in every week we give you an
- 11:37Speaker 1: update on Tom and Giselle. You're not buying it. I
- 11:38Speaker 1: said from the beginning, everything's fine, Everything's fine. Oh okay,
- 11:42Speaker 1: is that why he's coming back to practice on Wednesdays
- 11:44Speaker 1: after saying he was going to take Wednesday's all interesting?
- 11:50Speaker 1: The plot thickens. Okay, So here's from my understanding, I
- 11:55Speaker 1: thought that for Giselle to be cool with Tom coming
- 11:59Speaker 1: back playing football, just give us wednesdays. Just give the
- 12:03Speaker 1: family your love and attention on Wednesdays. Just take that
- 12:07Speaker 1: time off and be with us. And he's like, Okay, cool,
- 12:10Speaker 1: no problem, I'm going to do that. Now he's back
- 12:12Speaker 1: at practice. What does this mean? As Jazelle on vacation,
- 12:15Speaker 1: could that be the situation? He even said, I've worked
- 12:18Speaker 1: weekends for twenty three years. They deserve a day off
- 12:21Speaker 1: exactly four of us. And then now he's back in
- 12:23Speaker 1: and it's not only their owe two he doesn't receivers.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Do you think this is just just football? What do
- 12:31Speaker 1: you think? Like? I think he's doing it because he
- 12:33Speaker 1: wants to the football team to be better, and some
- 12:36Speaker 1: of his receivers aren't practicing. But what does it mean
- 12:38Speaker 1: for his relationship. It can't be good. It cannot be good.
- 12:41Speaker 1: He's totally going back on a promise he made to
- 12:43Speaker 1: his wife or maybe Jiz out maybe they had a
- 12:45Speaker 1: conversation in Brazil or wherever they led to Bahamas and
- 12:51Speaker 1: he was just like, listen, just get I promise, you
- 12:53Speaker 1: just give me this last year. Let me give it
- 12:55Speaker 1: my all and then that's that I need my Wednesdays back,
- 12:58Speaker 1: And she was just like, I'm sure he said that
- 13:00Speaker 1: to her before though, Okay, sounds like you are buying
- 13:06Speaker 1: the drama. Not everything is uh rosy and paradise like
- 13:11Speaker 1: wherever you are right now, Mohan, Yeah, you're gonna be
- 13:15Speaker 1: put in jail so fast. What are you gonna say?
- 13:18Speaker 1: What is the cozy beach? Can you turn down those
- 13:23Speaker 1: waves pretty loud? Thank you? Okay, coming up, we are
- 13:28Speaker 1: picking six games on the slate for week three. Oh,
- 13:33Speaker 1: what are the what are the what are the standings here? Oh,
- 13:36Speaker 1: it looks like Baneta's making a bit of a combat nanny.
- 13:39Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere We'll get It's time for Pick six,
- 13:53Speaker 1: presented by Draft Kings Sports Book. Every single week, we
- 13:56Speaker 1: are going to break down six of our favorite games
- 13:58Speaker 1: from the slate. Mo don't call to come back. Don't
- 14:02Speaker 1: call it to come back. I actually didn't really do well.
- 14:04Speaker 1: You and I both didn't do well. We went three
- 14:06Speaker 1: and three last week, Graver, you went four and two. Congratulations.
- 14:11Speaker 1: What was your big pick that sent it over the
- 14:13Speaker 1: edge last week? The Jaguars was a good one, and
- 14:17Speaker 1: I had Cowboys beating the Bengal. Well, I had them
- 14:20Speaker 1: covering against the Bengals. Who would have thought. But you
- 14:22Speaker 1: know what, I'm not here to like gloat about it
- 14:24Speaker 1: because it's a long season and all it takes is
- 14:27Speaker 1: one oh and six week for you guys to be
- 14:29Speaker 1: right back on the other side of making fun of me.
- 14:31Speaker 1: So all right, right, okay, So to date we I
- 14:34Speaker 1: am five and seven, Mohun seven and five, Graver eight
- 14:37Speaker 1: and four. But as you just heard, things can change quickly,
- 14:40Speaker 1: so let's buckle up. I'm on the opposite side of
- 14:43Speaker 1: like a bunch for you guys this week, so this
- 14:45Speaker 1: should be fine. Okay. Number one Bills at Dolphins. Dolphins
- 14:48Speaker 1: are a five and a half point underdog. I am
- 14:51Speaker 1: going Dolphins. I think that the Bills win, but I
- 14:55Speaker 1: do think that the Dolphins keep it very very close,
- 14:58Speaker 1: like I want like a one score game, like a
- 15:01Speaker 1: one point game, you know I want. I want high scoring,
- 15:05Speaker 1: and I want it to be very very close. But
- 15:07Speaker 1: I'm taking the Dolphins on this one. What do you
- 15:08Speaker 1: guys like, mom, I like the Dolphins too. The Bills
- 15:11Speaker 1: secondaries little shaky, l injured, and gotta go with Mike McDaniel,
- 15:15Speaker 1: my early coach of the Year pick. Oh, just got
- 15:18Speaker 1: to remind everyone every single week you you deserve that, graver.
- 15:22Speaker 1: What do you like here? So I struggle to pick
- 15:25Speaker 1: this game because I went back and forth too, Like
- 15:27Speaker 1: the line is kind of high five and a half points,
- 15:30Speaker 1: But I do think this is one the Bills are
- 15:33Speaker 1: gonna like score a late touchdown and win by a
- 15:36Speaker 1: touchdown inane. They are so much I feel like they're
- 15:39Speaker 1: in a different class of the league and maybe the
- 15:41Speaker 1: Dolphins will join and like this will be a great
- 15:43Speaker 1: test to see how just how good Miami really is
- 15:45Speaker 1: after their first two games. Thinking about Miami is like
- 15:47Speaker 1: those first like what three quarters or maybe like the
- 15:50Speaker 1: first two last weekend, they weren't really putting up scores.
- 15:52Speaker 1: It was just in the end that it got insane.
- 15:55Speaker 1: And that's what's you know, recency buys. We're all like,
- 15:57Speaker 1: oh my god, exactly. They only scored thirteen points against
- 15:59Speaker 1: the Patriots too weeks ago. Granted week ones are kind
- 16:01Speaker 1: of weird, but I think even with the Bills secondary
- 16:04Speaker 1: banged up, Dane Jackson is is hurt, Micah hides her.
- 16:07Speaker 1: We're not sure if they're going to play in this game.
- 16:09Speaker 1: The Bill's front is so ferocious. Do I truly trust
- 16:13Speaker 1: Miami's offensive line yet to a little bit shorter amongst quarterbacks.
- 16:17Speaker 1: Greg Or So has a huge winks comtary love to Uh,
- 16:23Speaker 1: but I think this is one where the Bill's hype
- 16:27Speaker 1: just like goes to an even higher level, just unreachable.
- 16:31Speaker 1: No one's even close to them. I guess Chiefs. But um, okay,
- 16:34Speaker 1: number two Bengals at Jets. Um, guys, I'm going Jets
- 16:41Speaker 1: plus six. Oh. I just don't trust the Bengals right now?
- 16:45Speaker 1: How could you? How could you trust the Bengals right now?
- 16:51Speaker 1: Deleting his Instagram, He's deleting his Twitter. Something's going on
- 16:57Speaker 1: that's good. He needs he doesn't need the distraction. Social
- 17:00Speaker 1: media's toxic. I'm gonna go. The Bengals are gonna win
- 17:04Speaker 1: big Joe Burrow said, everything's gonna be fine, and I
- 17:08Speaker 1: trust them. I do think the Bengals still win this game.
- 17:10Speaker 1: But I just think that the Jets are gonna be
- 17:11Speaker 1: able to keep it close. Great, are you going Bengals
- 17:13Speaker 1: as well? I like what you're what you're thinking, Rachel,
- 17:16Speaker 1: But I feel like this is one of those like, uh,
- 17:20Speaker 1: what am I trying to say? Like flip the script.
- 17:22Speaker 1: Come at like all expectations are like, all right, time
- 17:25Speaker 1: to just shut up everybody word. We don't have a
- 17:28Speaker 1: Super Bowl hangover. We're back. Bengals win thirty five ten
- 17:31Speaker 1: or something. This is the spot to do it against
- 17:32Speaker 1: the Jets like you would just yeah, of courst. The
- 17:34Speaker 1: Bengals are gonna win, like going into that. I wonder
- 17:36Speaker 1: what this line was going into the season before we've
- 17:39Speaker 1: seen the last two games. I bet you it was
- 17:41Speaker 1: much higher than this. This is their turnaround moment. If
- 17:45Speaker 1: they don't, then it's gonna be really bad. Ye that's true.
- 17:49Speaker 1: Week four is going to be like something's up with
- 17:53Speaker 1: That's gonna be h yeah, bad, bad bad. I don't
- 17:56Speaker 1: think that happens though, Okay, Ravens at Patriots. Patriots are
- 18:00Speaker 1: a two and a half point underdog. I'm going Ravens
- 18:03Speaker 1: might do a half. There's just been so much fun lately.
- 18:05Speaker 1: Lamar Duckin is just still crazy and he beat on
- 18:08Speaker 1: himself for a good reason. I'm going I'm going Ravens.
- 18:13Speaker 1: I'm going the Ravens too. If you think I just
- 18:14Speaker 1: called you Mowen, is that your Aldreco? Yeah? You evil
- 18:18Speaker 1: twin Ravens. Belichick was complimenting Lamar he's smiling more. Is
- 18:23Speaker 1: he losing it? And Belichick losing it? Losing his edge
- 18:26Speaker 1: his meanness? I love that, Graver. What you like? I'm
- 18:29Speaker 1: also picking the Ravens. Ravens were my super Bowl pick preseason.
- 18:32Speaker 1: Lamar was my MVP pick. Who could forget? I think
- 18:35Speaker 1: Lamar would be like the front runner for MVP right
- 18:37Speaker 1: now if two I hadn't thrown six touchdowns in a
- 18:40Speaker 1: miraculous comeback last week. That was crazy. You're itching's up?
- 18:45Speaker 1: Don't tell the people. Just let me do this in private.
- 18:48Speaker 1: That hurt so bad. I need to go back to
- 18:50Speaker 1: the doctors. Okay, Rams at Cardinals, I am taking cards
- 18:55Speaker 1: plus three and a half, just similarly to um the
- 19:00Speaker 1: That's what we were just talking about. That come back
- 19:02Speaker 1: from the Cardinals. That's a nice like spank on the
- 19:04Speaker 1: bum like, Okay, forget about the rest of this. We
- 19:07Speaker 1: got our grooves. Stella's got our groove back. The Rams
- 19:10Speaker 1: have been weird. Rams have been a little like off.
- 19:14Speaker 1: It seems like not not the super Bowl winning team
- 19:16Speaker 1: that we all loved. What's something's going on? Master? I
- 19:20Speaker 1: don't know, Mom, What do you like? Here. That's fair.
- 19:23Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to the Rams. I think the Cardinals
- 19:25Speaker 1: got really lucky last week, and Kyler's a magician, but
- 19:29Speaker 1: I don't think he can pull it off again. Look
- 19:32Speaker 1: at there he goes justin what are you going with?
- 19:35Speaker 1: I am also picking the Rams because I still think
- 19:38Speaker 1: now this is a great chance for the Cardinals to
- 19:40Speaker 1: get revenge for that incredibly embarrassing playoff loss to the Rams.
- 19:44Speaker 1: But the Rams have had the Cardinals number kind of
- 19:47Speaker 1: the way the Jags have had the Colts number, which
- 19:48Speaker 1: I talked about last week. That's why I'm picking the
- 19:50Speaker 1: Rams here, not because I love what I've seen from
- 19:52Speaker 1: them on the field. I just think Sean McVay knows
- 19:55Speaker 1: how to beat Cliff Kingsbury and he will do it again.
- 19:58Speaker 1: Very true. Okay, Packers at buck Um. I've kind of
- 20:02Speaker 1: gone back and forth that Bucks are only a one
- 20:04Speaker 1: point favorite. I think Vegas is kind of like al
- 20:08Speaker 1: I guess I'll go I have I have Packers written
- 20:11Speaker 1: down here, but I'm still not totally sold on Aaron
- 20:16Speaker 1: Rodgers having multiple people to throw two and to score with.
- 20:20Speaker 1: So I'm gonna change my pick. Actually, I'm gonna go Bucks.
- 20:23Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Bucks minus one. Here, Mom, what do
- 20:25Speaker 1: you like? Gonna go Packers plus one? Um? Rogers last
- 20:29Speaker 1: tune a row to Brady when he Brady's been a
- 20:31Speaker 1: Buck and he had this. Someone asked him who his
- 20:34Speaker 1: favorite quarterbacks are to watch Rogers and he said at
- 20:37Speaker 1: Josh Allen and Matthew Stafford's conveniently left Tom Brady out.
- 20:43Speaker 1: I kind of love it, Yody, like, I also like
- 20:46Speaker 1: the Bucks, but I don't know. This one's such a
- 20:50Speaker 1: point line opened at two and a half Bucks minus
- 20:53Speaker 1: two and a half and moved down. So people are
- 20:55Speaker 1: betting on the Packers. You're saying Rogers and him any receivers.
- 20:59Speaker 1: Tomb he doesn't have any receivers. They just got Cole Beasley.
- 21:02Speaker 1: He's not good. Julio Jones. Jones who was out last week,
- 21:06Speaker 1: wasn't name and hasn't practiced. Chris Godwin hasn't practiced. Russell
- 21:08Speaker 1: Gage is limited coin flip baby okay. And then the
- 21:13Speaker 1: final game forty nine Ers at Broncos. This is Sunday
- 21:16Speaker 1: Night Football, Broncos plus one and a half. We open
- 21:19Speaker 1: up our my dms every single week. I got so
- 21:21Speaker 1: many angry Broncos fans in my DMS this week, just
- 21:24Speaker 1: like so not pleased with where they're at. I am
- 21:27Speaker 1: taking the forty nine ers minus one and a half.
- 21:30Speaker 1: Let no, let's not let's park the car. How about
- 21:34Speaker 1: let's not ride? Uh? Let Jimmy g do his thing.
- 21:38Speaker 1: He the entire team loves him. The entire team loves him.
- 21:41Speaker 1: It's a seamless it's not even a transition because he
- 21:43Speaker 1: is their quarterback. Trailant just got a couple of a
- 21:45Speaker 1: couple of games under his belt. Again, we love Tree Lance,
- 21:48Speaker 1: we send him nothing but healing vibes. But I'm going
- 21:51Speaker 1: forty nine ers here. What do you like? I agree
- 21:53Speaker 1: completely with you forty nine Is this a hot take?
- 21:55Speaker 1: Probably not. I think the Niners are better with Jimmy
- 21:57Speaker 1: at least right now. I always thought that like Trey Lance,
- 22:01Speaker 1: maybe when he reaches his ceiling will make them a
- 22:03Speaker 1: better team. But right now took them to a super Bowl,
- 22:06Speaker 1: and he almost took them to a super Bowl again
- 22:08Speaker 1: with like a fractured thumb in his throwing hand. This
- 22:12Speaker 1: is a really small line, although we're seeing a lot
- 22:16Speaker 1: of on this list of six games here today, five
- 22:19Speaker 1: home underdogs. Kind of crazy Broncos, another home underdog, but
- 22:23Speaker 1: the Niners were my lock of the week on around
- 22:25Speaker 1: the NFL this week. I think this is not even
- 22:27Speaker 1: a close game. Wow. And also a couple of small
- 22:29Speaker 1: lines too, so Vegas thinks that there's going to be
- 22:32Speaker 1: a bunch of close games, which I love. Drafting Sports

- 22:44Speaker 1: for Mohan's Minute. Let's let's see how this goes. Jail,
- 22:48Speaker 1: immediate jail. All right, welcome back to the show. It's
- 22:59Speaker 1: the moment you've all all been waiting for. Do I
- 23:01Speaker 1: preemptively put you in jail? Like? Is it going to be?
- 23:03Speaker 1: You have to give me a chance? Looks like you're
- 23:06Speaker 1: in a jail cell. Actually, it's signed for Mohun's Minute,
- 23:15Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. Mohan bring something to the table that
- 23:18Speaker 1: is probably controversial in some way, shape or form every
- 23:21Speaker 1: single week and I look forward to it. Mohan, what
- 23:24Speaker 1: do you have for us? Well? I want to start
- 23:25Speaker 1: this off with last week I brought up this scary
- 23:29Speaker 1: there's no point. I'm being like paying to be scared. Yes,
- 23:32Speaker 1: and I got a lot of love I saw on
- 23:34Speaker 1: the comments, like I agree with Mohan. Why wouldn't think
- 23:40Speaker 1: I saw the opposite. I didn't see anyway. So this week,
- 23:45Speaker 1: here's here's my point. When I meet someone for the
- 23:48Speaker 1: first time and you got to shake their hands, and
- 23:51Speaker 1: for some reason, I like black out because I'm so
- 23:54Speaker 1: focused on not botching the handshake right that I do
- 23:58Speaker 1: end up black out and then I come and then
- 24:00Speaker 1: I just missed them saying their name. So what what's
- 24:04Speaker 1: the What's because I'm no, I'm getting there because I'm
- 24:07Speaker 1: so focused on not botching the handshake, and everyone's always
- 24:10Speaker 1: like handshakes you can't mess up. That's like they're very important. Yea.
- 24:13Speaker 1: The first impressions are the are the most important. My
- 24:17Speaker 1: thing is, I'd rather society in general be okay with
- 24:22Speaker 1: not having a great handshake but remembering a name. So
- 24:25Speaker 1: my question is what's more important to you? What's more
- 24:29Speaker 1: important to you a good handshake or someone remembering your name,
- 24:33Speaker 1: because I think in a human level, everyone wants people
- 24:35Speaker 1: to remember their name. Um, I love a good handshake.
- 24:41Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you I love a good handshake.
- 24:43Speaker 1: I I am so you know what now that I
- 24:47Speaker 1: think about it, I'm so focused on the first impression
- 24:49Speaker 1: being like, Hi, nice to meet you. I never pay
- 24:52Speaker 1: attention to the name, and then I'm always having to
- 24:54Speaker 1: go back and figure it out. So I think, actually,
- 24:57Speaker 1: like I get too caught up in the moment and
- 25:00Speaker 1: I'm not present. I'm so say you're the same, same
- 25:03Speaker 1: but different. I'm too focused on the actual handshake. Yeah,
- 25:06Speaker 1: like making sure it's not like dead fish or anything weird, Like, yeah,
- 25:10Speaker 1: you go on with a firm, you try to you
- 25:12Speaker 1: try to show him his boss. I kind of matched
- 25:14Speaker 1: their grip. Okay, I like that. I think you can
- 25:17Speaker 1: get past an awkward fumbled handshake more easily, not like
- 25:21Speaker 1: like they're both whatever. But nothing worse than calling somebody
- 25:24Speaker 1: by the wrong yeah, or be like oh sorry, I
- 25:27Speaker 1: forgot your name? What was it about it? I will
- 25:31Speaker 1: for sure know that your name is Mohan, and I'll
- 25:34Speaker 1: still if I'm introducing you to somebody, I'll be like,
- 25:37Speaker 1: this is my friend. You meet him first. But that's
- 25:41Speaker 1: that's the go too, is I always if I'm ever
- 25:43Speaker 1: introducing somebody, I'll be like, this is Mohan. And then
- 25:46Speaker 1: they can be like, oh, hi, I'm justin Yeah, that's
- 25:48Speaker 1: a whole notherm memory forever. So you both are agreeing
- 25:54Speaker 1: with me. I have the same problem. No, I don't
- 25:56Speaker 1: agree with you. I think the name is more important
- 25:58Speaker 1: than the handshake. That's what I'm say. Yes, I will
- 26:03Speaker 1: say I can cut out hugging strangers. There, there's no
- 26:07Speaker 1: There's not a single person I want to be introduced
- 26:09Speaker 1: to with a hug. Women do this all the time,
- 26:12Speaker 1: and it drives me nuts. I don't want to be
- 26:13Speaker 1: touched by you. I don't want to I don't want
- 26:14Speaker 1: to know what you smell like. You know what I mean. Yeah,
- 26:16Speaker 1: I'll cut that from society. So you prefer a handshake
- 26:20Speaker 1: with every prefer a handshake with everyone across the board.
- 26:22Speaker 1: That should be what everyone does this, No, thank you?
- 26:26Speaker 1: So what? Okay, Now we're gonna go off the deep bend.
- 26:29Speaker 1: But you meet someone for the first time, you do
- 26:31Speaker 1: the handshake. I will always prey. I will put my
- 26:34Speaker 1: hand out first so they know I'm not interested in
- 26:36Speaker 1: a hug. Doesn't matter man or woman. It's not like
- 26:39Speaker 1: a creepy thing. I just don't want to be like
- 26:41Speaker 1: touched by anybody. What if you see them a week later,
- 26:44Speaker 1: do you do you have to hug them? I guess,
- 26:47Speaker 1: but I don't like it. Yeah, I'm just saying, no, no,
- 26:50Speaker 1: not a hugger, not a I'm not a hugger at all.
- 26:54Speaker 1: That's fine. Not everyone has to be a hugger. It
- 26:56Speaker 1: out of my face. Um, okay, that was we agree
- 26:59Speaker 1: with that one. Wow, Hey, look at you back on
- 27:04Speaker 1: the beach. Okay, it's uh. Let's start with the best
- 27:08Speaker 1: and the worst thing that we saw all week, shall we?
- 27:13Speaker 1: Let's start with the worst? Uh. This video went extremely viral.
- 27:18Speaker 1: I've seen it quite a few places now. There was
- 27:20Speaker 1: a Bears fan that was just being mocked by his girlfriend. Um.
- 27:24Speaker 1: It was funny and it was also sad. Let's let's
- 27:26Speaker 1: roll the clip. I told you when they lose, don't
- 27:33Speaker 1: talk to me for the rest of the week. Why
- 27:35Speaker 1: did you bothering me? WHOA? What about the Risbans? You
- 27:41Speaker 1: got there? Gonna throw you in a game to say
- 27:43Speaker 1: the last couple the points alone? Would you leave me alone?
- 27:46Speaker 1: You don't even crack for me like this too much.
- 27:49Speaker 1: It's been my team for twenty two years. I gotta
- 27:53Speaker 1: say this is giving. I've never reacted in a sports
- 27:55Speaker 1: way like this, but that version of that man. We
- 27:59Speaker 1: also don't know if this is real or fake. This
- 28:00Speaker 1: might have been a sketch. If it's a sketch, it's great.
- 28:02Speaker 1: This is me after playing board games. If I lose,
- 28:05Speaker 1: I do not play board games because I will get
- 28:07Speaker 1: this mad and angry and upset if I if somebody
- 28:10Speaker 1: beats me and like tries to like rub it in, like,
- 28:12Speaker 1: oh my god, you're being such a baby because it's monopoly, Like, no,
- 28:16Speaker 1: I wanted boardwalk or whatever it's called. Do you react
- 28:19Speaker 1: like this in any way? I don't think so. No,
- 28:21Speaker 1: I don't think so. Great are you? Is this one
- 28:23Speaker 1: what happens when the Titans lose? No? Maybe five years ago?
- 28:27Speaker 1: Would you guys be okay if a partner like poked
- 28:29Speaker 1: at you like this? If something like that would make
- 28:32Speaker 1: me angry, I would never talk to my girlfriend this way. No. Aggressively,
- 28:40Speaker 1: I mean, this is really aggress I just love that
- 28:42Speaker 1: he's wearing the wristbands. Um like, it's a fact I've
- 28:46Speaker 1: only known you two months or whatever, and I've been
- 28:48Speaker 1: with this team for twenty two years. Another girls thing
- 28:50Speaker 1: that we said. We have a lot of food takes
- 28:52Speaker 1: on the show. It's something that we like to talk about.
- 28:53Speaker 1: There are people who are cooking their chicken with ni
- 28:55Speaker 1: Quill and I guess TikTok has had to put up
- 28:59Speaker 1: a stay. Please stop cooking your chicken with Nike will
- 29:02Speaker 1: do we have a video of this is disgusting. Okay,
- 29:05Speaker 1: we don't have a video of it, just just picture right.
- 29:08Speaker 1: This is worse than eating tide pods, right, Um, well, no,
- 29:13Speaker 1: because this is one step for I don't know your
- 29:15Speaker 1: health wise, but you're you can technically yes, night well.
- 29:22Speaker 1: To be honest, like if you want maybe, I mean
- 29:25Speaker 1: we're not recommending don't do this at home, but it's
- 29:27Speaker 1: like you want to kill two birds with one sewing
- 29:28Speaker 1: you dinner, you want a little night night Yeah, if everyone,
- 29:33Speaker 1: But but for tide pods, I'm saying you just pop
- 29:36Speaker 1: on in. This takes extra effort of like, yeah, chicken out,
- 29:39Speaker 1: that's detergent you're eating. So I'm not telling us that
- 29:42Speaker 1: you're eating a tide pod and you're trying to like
- 29:44Speaker 1: get us to say that it's okay, all right, because
- 29:46Speaker 1: it's not. I think this caused for jail jail, Okay.
- 29:49Speaker 1: The best thing that I heard this week or saw
- 29:53Speaker 1: rather um Ryan Fitzpatrick put out a picture of annoyed school.
- 29:59Speaker 1: Uh okay, it looks great. He's definitely like he would be.
- 30:05Speaker 1: This is giving bully. It's giving full bully. This kid
- 30:08Speaker 1: definitely shoved Mohan, Justin and I into a locker at
- 30:12Speaker 1: some point. He's got the age. This is what is?
- 30:15Speaker 1: This is Harvard freshman? Yeah? Uh picture? Wow, what a
- 30:20Speaker 1: guy is He's just wearing a like a white tea
- 30:23Speaker 1: under I think he's just wearing a cute little tank. Yeah. Uh,
- 30:26Speaker 1: and he can he's pretty hot. He's pulling it off. Guys,
- 30:29Speaker 1: He's pulling it off. And I also love that he's
- 30:31Speaker 1: transitioned in the Fitzpatrick that we know and love. Now
- 30:33Speaker 1: he's like a beard and like the great attitude. Okay,
- 30:37Speaker 1: so this obviously made us you a little bit of
- 30:39Speaker 1: a deep dive, and we got some other photos that
- 30:41Speaker 1: we wanted to moan. I don't know why you trusted
- 30:43Speaker 1: me with this. I don't know why. I don't know
- 30:45Speaker 1: what in your right mind. Okay, So here's me. This
- 30:47Speaker 1: is let's focus on Rachel. This is me and my
- 30:51Speaker 1: pasty ass legs. Well, there's a little bit of muscle
- 30:54Speaker 1: in that arm. This is my volleyball picture. For those
- 30:56Speaker 1: of you who are listening, you're a senior in high school? No?
- 30:59Speaker 1: This is um Yes, I am a senior in high school. Yeah,
- 31:02Speaker 1: this would have been the year that I graduated. Uh,
- 31:05Speaker 1: just balling out ball is life, you know, that's what
- 31:08Speaker 1: That's what this photo is giving. And also I've not
- 31:10Speaker 1: been outside in the sun in my entire life. But
- 31:12Speaker 1: then we've got these. Then we've got these. This is
- 31:15Speaker 1: just a little taste. This is just a little taste. Moan,
- 31:18Speaker 1: how old are you in this photo? Wow? What did
- 31:22Speaker 1: did the photographer tell you to? Like think of your sort?
- 31:28Speaker 1: We look so angry. What's the opposite of a glow up?
- 31:31Speaker 1: Like a dim down? Because I think now you think
- 31:37Speaker 1: that that's you peeked. Okay, we've got to show the
- 31:39Speaker 1: second one. Do we have the second one? You guys?
- 31:41Speaker 1: Because for some reason, Mohan is barefoot? Are you serious?
- 31:46Speaker 1: You build? What do you mean I build? You didn't
- 31:48Speaker 1: want us to show it? I never said that, Oh people, Yeah,
- 31:58Speaker 1: for what reason? Saying the boot? Let's do it? Can
- 32:04Speaker 1: we pull it up? Let's let's cut out this part?
- 32:10Speaker 1: Can we can we actually pull it up? Or no,
- 32:12Speaker 1: do we not have it? If it's gonna take time,
- 32:14Speaker 1: don't worry about it. Okay, don't worry about it. That
- 32:16Speaker 1: would have been the better picture though. Um well, Mohan,
- 32:20Speaker 1: I think we I think we've both glowed up from here.
