Bengals Shut Out by Ravens & Mendoza Wins Heisman Trophy · Height Differential

• 0:11
  All right, let's do it. It's the high differential.
• 0:15
  We're back. That's the six, six nil.
• 0:17
  I'm the 410, Nick. We are recovered from our
• 0:21
  whatever that was yesterday. Did you thaw out?
• 0:24
  Did you finally? Did you de ice yourself when you
• 0:26
  got home last night after the game?
• 0:28
  I definitely got in the hot tub, not a hot tub because I don't
• 0:32
  have a hot tub. Just got in the tub with hot
• 0:34
  water and. I mean, how good did it feel to
• 0:38
  take off those 8 layers of clothes we wore all day?
• 0:41
  Well, I will say like it's, it's tough to get some of those
• 0:45
  clothes off. I mean, I had a pair of socks on
• 0:49
  and then I had my long Johns and then I had socks on over top
• 0:54
  that. So the long Johns are wrapped in
• 0:56
  between the two pairs of socks. And my feet still got cold even
• 0:59
  after wearing all that. That was the I'll be honest,
• 1:02
  that was the only thing that was really cold to me was was my
• 1:04
  feet. I agree, same for me.
• 1:07
  I mean those electronic and warmers are are super clutch.
• 1:11
  I mean they're really good. I mean, but I had what I had a
• 1:16
  long John. I had AT shirt, another long
• 1:19
  John. What a hoodie, a jacket like the
• 1:23
  layers were. They were like crazy layers.
• 1:25
  It was needed. And it laid up like a wedding
• 1:28
  cake. Yeah, I mean, I, I said it, I'm
• 1:30
  I'm going to look like the little buddy on Christmas story
• 1:33
  where I can't put my arms down. I'm just, I'm just glad I never
• 1:36
  fell down because they didn't clean the ice.
• 1:38
  So I could have slipped on the ice and somebody that had to
• 1:40
  help me pick me up because I don't think I could have done
• 1:42
  it. But yeah, we'll, we'll talk
• 1:45
  about yesterday as we weathered the elements.
• 1:48
  No, not much tailgating, but we figured out a way to tailgate at
• 1:51
  the at the Plum St. Cafe.
• 1:52
  Got us some chili and some grilled cheese and that was
• 1:55
  good. Couple brewskies and then our
• 1:56
  brewskies at the game turned into slushies before.
• 1:59
  We he couldn't even drink it. I drank half of it and then I
• 2:03
  couldn't get any more out of that game.
• 2:05
  But we'll talk Bengals, we'll talk the rest of the NFL, we'll
• 2:08
  talk the Heisman ceremony, which happened on Saturday.
• 2:12
  Won't go too much into college football because I don't know if
• 2:15
  you've watched a down of any of these bowl games that have
• 2:17
  happened already, but I have not.
• 2:19
  Nope. I saw Washington, you know, had
• 2:22
  a rather large victory over Boise State, and that was about
• 2:25
  it. Yeah.
• 2:26
  And Navy. Navy beat Army in a very, very
• 2:28
  close game. So I saw that.
• 2:30
  Yeah. And then did you?
• 2:31
  Do you see how our president does the coin flip?
• 2:35
  I've missed the coin flip, no. Like when you do a coin flip, do
• 2:38
  you use your thumb to flick it in the air?
• 2:40
  Dude, just dude just puts it in the palm of his hand and just
• 2:42
  throws it straight up there. Did it flip at all?
• 2:45
  No, just went straight up there. Like have you never flipped a
• 2:50
  coin before? But yeah, and then we'll talk
• 2:54
  some college hoops and then 6-7 keeps dominating our our world.
• 2:58
  And one restaurant is is trying to put it.
• 3:01
  They've had enough, they've had enough.
• 3:03
  And we'll, we'll close with that, but I, I guess since
• 3:06
  there's really not much college football to talk about this
• 3:08
  week, we can talk about start off with our experience
• 3:12
  yesterday and whatever that was that we braved the elements to
• 3:16
  watch. It wasn't much.
• 3:19
  No, I mean it was, I could be honest with you.
• 3:22
  It was absolutely miserable, most miserable football game
• 3:25
  I've ever been to. And not we start out because
• 3:28
  it's freezing cold. I think what it was 9 degrees
• 3:31
  8°. Well, I think when we walked
• 3:33
  from Plum St. it was like 5 when we got there.
• 3:35
  When we got there like 11. Yeah, and the feels like
• 3:39
  temperatures to the wind chill I think was even in the negatives
• 3:42
  maybe -1 negative 2. So right off the bat you're
• 3:46
  already miserable, Miserable because it's cold.
• 3:48
  So then you're walking to the game and none of the Plaza is
• 3:52
  cleared. It's just ice and snow all
• 3:55
  around the stadium, all around the the concourses, you know,
• 3:58
  like, all right, get through that.
• 4:00
  The good news, the escalator was working.
• 4:02
  That's, you know, usually about a 70% chance that it's not.
• 4:05
  But they had that working for us yesterday.
• 4:07
  And we get to the seats and to your surprise there the seats
• 4:13
  were not clear and. It's it's ridiculous.
• 4:17
  Ice and snow covered on every seat, which, you know, we'll get
• 4:21
  into. It apparently violated the NF LS
• 4:23
  League policy on stadium conditions or playing
• 4:26
  conditions. But everybody for the 1st 10
• 4:30
  minutes of being at their seat is just scraping snow and ice
• 4:34
  off the seat. The national anthem is playing,
• 4:37
  everybody's silent and what do you hear?
• 4:39
  Nick? Give me the sound.
• 4:40
  Raka raka raka. For how long?
• 4:44
  Raka, raka, raka. Like every person that weren't,
• 4:49
  it wasn't packed. So it's not every person there,
• 4:51
  but every person in the stadium that is on our side of the
• 4:54
  stadium, because sun doesn't hit our side of the stadium at all.
• 4:57
  Yeah. It does not.
• 4:58
  I mean, everybody's doing anything they can, using credit
• 5:02
  cards, using gloves to try to clean their seats.
• 5:06
  Yeah, Yep. Violin.
• 5:08
  It's it was absolutely embarrassing that the Bengals
• 5:12
  put fans in that position to even have to do that.
• 5:15
  I mean, they, they, they said that that it was easily, seats
• 5:19
  are easily wiped off and there's ushers to help you and both are
• 5:24
  just absolutely false. There was no ushers at all in
• 5:26
  our section nor the any of the other sections that I saw.
• 5:29
  And it was not easily cleared off because it was a sheet of
• 5:32
  ice. It wasn't.
• 5:33
  I mean, and look, dude, I've seen a lot of people talking
• 5:37
  about this on social because, I mean, it was just an utter
• 5:42
  failure, but we care more about the team than they care about
• 5:46
  their fans. But we've known that.
• 5:49
  I mean, that's that's. Just it brings it into like, it
• 5:51
  just makes it real. It's just another, it's just,
• 5:53
  yeah, it's just another piece of the puzzle, just another,
• 5:56
  another example. But yeah, no, you're right.
• 5:58
  With their full statement it's it's all just a lie.
• 6:03
  Yes. Like no you did not do any of
• 6:07
  this stuff. Where what was the the
• 6:09
  statement? Sea dials were prioritized and
• 6:12
  are in good shape. I mean the aisles actually in
• 6:17
  the the stadium I didn't. They weren't.
• 6:20
  They were still. Slushy and full of snow, they
• 6:22
  didn't do anything right and seats are really wiped off like
• 6:25
  you said and ushers are there. That was their official
• 6:27
  statement. And there was no washers.
• 6:31
  I don't. I mean the, the getting on the
• 6:34
  escalator, there's a usher there saying, hey, we didn't do
• 6:38
  anything. Don't slip.
• 6:40
  Be careful. Don't.
• 6:41
  Don't slip like there was at least a usher before you got on
• 6:44
  the escalator. Yeah.
• 6:46
  But yeah, you're right, the whole walk in, nothing was
• 6:48
  clear. Seats just.
• 6:51
  I mean, they were still icy at the end of the game because
• 6:54
  there was no sun on that side of the field.
• 6:56
  It never got warm enough for even them to think about
• 6:59
  melting. No.
• 7:02
  I don't know, just an absolute and utter failure.
• 7:06
  Like I get an e-mail from the Bengals that they asked me about
• 7:08
  my experience. I'll, I'm going to be responding
• 7:11
  to that. As you should.
• 7:12
  I'm going to be responding to that.
• 7:14
  I think a lot of other fans will be too.
• 7:16
  I mean, it's just like I get tired of it because and I defend
• 7:21
  them over and over and over again.
• 7:23
  But it's it's a poverty franchise and it's the
• 7:28
  ownership. Like it wasn't like the snow and
• 7:30
  this ice stopped at 10:00 in the morning or 11:00 in the morning.
• 7:36
  No, it stopped by 10:00 the previous night.
• 7:39
  Correct SO. Get your crew there at 5:00 in
• 7:44
  the morning, work on the stadium, clear the Iowa's, make
• 7:47
  sure that somebody had to fall and then you're going to get
• 7:51
  sued. You know you have these
• 7:53
  guidelines by the NFL. Will you just ignore them?
• 7:56
  They didn't. Just paying this fine is going
• 7:58
  to cost less than you know taking care of this.
• 8:01
  I mean, Yup, that's exactly what they did.
• 8:03
  They just ignored it. Just and.
• 8:06
  You have this reputation, the Bengals have the reputation of
• 8:10
  cutting corners and being cheap and doing this kind of thing.
• 8:14
  And it's just another example. I mean, it's why they're the
• 8:16
  laughingstock franchise of the NFL.
• 8:19
  And I'm wearing this hat because of Ted Karas.
• 8:21
  And I want him to be man of the year.
• 8:23
  I ain't wearing it. I'm I'm off for the Bengals
• 8:25
  right now. But the music was good.
• 8:27
  We did. We did agree that.
• 8:29
  The cheerleaders didn't even wear pants out there in that
• 8:31
  cold weather. They deserve a Gold Star for
• 8:34
  that. The the three good things
• 8:38
  yesterday were the cheerleaders, the music.
• 8:41
  Ted Karras's videos on the video were promoting him as man of the
• 8:43
  year. Yeah, everything else.
• 8:46
  Fan experience F Terrible the game F minus if you can even go
• 8:51
  below an F Absolutely abysmal performance by the Bengals.
• 8:55
  Abysmal performance by Joe Burrow.
• 9:00
  I mean it was just all around, like we froze our butts off,
• 9:04
  scraped our seats, and we didn't even get to sing the touchdown
• 9:06
  song because we put up 0 points. No, and you're going straight
• 9:10
  down the field on the 1st Dr. They were inside the 35 four
• 9:14
  times didn't score, but fewest offensive plays ran by Biggles
• 9:18
  opponents in franchise history. The Ravens ran 40 plays
• 9:21
  yesterday, which is the third least place ran by a Bengals
• 9:26
  opponent in the 1st 2. The Oilers ran 35 and got beat
• 9:30
  30 to 7/19/72. The Browns ran 38 in 2014 and
• 9:36
  lost 30 to nothing. Let's let's put this one out
• 9:39
  there. Ravens run 40 plays and they
• 9:41
  shut out the Bengals 24 to nothing.
• 9:43
  Yeah, Yep, it doesn't even. I mean just too many, but the
• 9:52
  Bengals had the ball for 39 minutes and 19 seconds, the most
• 9:58
  of any team to get shut out in the last 42 years.
• 10:03
  We've done defensive stats all year that are just just
• 10:07
  incredulous and now we get these and it's just like the season
• 10:11
  from hell will just not end. And there was going in in, but
• 10:15
  what what contributes to that number and that the time of
• 10:17
  possession and, you know, the offense was on the field a lot,
• 10:20
  but they there was no urgency. When you're down 1417, nothing,
• 10:24
  you're down 3 scores in the third and fourth quarter, you'd
• 10:27
  think you want to, you know, maybe go a little bit up tempo.
• 10:30
  No, they're, they're driving the ball and then they're taking all
• 10:33
  40 seconds off the play clock. I.
• 10:34
  Thought we got to delay a game at one point.
• 10:36
  Yeah, I mean, fans are booing. Everybody's know, everybody in
• 10:39
  the stands knows you're down 17 to nothing.
• 10:42
  You might want to, you know, hurry it up a little bit.
• 10:43
  We get it first and goal and we're still huddling up with 7
• 10:47
  1/2 minutes left down 3 scores. It's like they wanted to go home
• 10:49
  as bad as we did. Yeah.
• 10:51
  No, I think that's actually probably true.
• 10:54
  Yeah, it's. But you're right, absolutely no
• 10:57
  urgency. It's like, well, we, we can't
• 10:59
  win this game. Why even try?
• 11:02
  Why even try? I mean you get that touchdown
• 11:04
  with 7 minutes even after running an 8 minute drive and
• 11:08
  you know about 17 in the 4th. Quarter all three time out
• 11:10
  saying the two, yeah, like you, you get that touchdown.
• 11:13
  You're down 17 seven with 7 1/2 to go, you have a chance.
• 11:18
  But they they, they didn't care. They they quit.
• 11:21
  They you said they wanted to, they wanted to get back to that
• 11:23
  locker room and warm up more than they wanted to win the
• 11:25
  game. What I look, Joe's been great
• 11:29
  and you know, rushed back from his injury to get back way
• 11:34
  sooner and people thought he could was awesome in the first
• 11:37
  Ravens game was really good last week.
• 11:39
  Just made some mistakes late. Do you think it was just the
• 11:44
  bitter code that because he was missing throws that we haven't
• 11:47
  seen him miss maybe his rookie career, maybe ever?
• 11:52
  Yesterday he just he didn't look In Sync the entire game.
• 11:55
  He had Chase wide open on the slant early in the game when it
• 11:58
  was 00. We were driving and he missed.
• 12:00
  He threw it behind him and it was incomplete.
• 12:01
  He had another one where Chase was open over the middle on the
• 12:04
  second drive we were driving or third drive and throw throws it
• 12:07
  high, Chase goes off, it goes off his fingers and it's a pick.
• 12:10
  So yeah, Burrow. Burrow looked like not Joe
• 12:14
  Burrow. I don't know.
• 12:15
  And I don't know if it's mental Like he like last week, a lot
• 12:18
  was made of him saying how much he's not having fun playing
• 12:21
  football and he's got a lot going on.
• 12:23
  And, you know, so it just might be a whole mental, mental thing
• 12:27
  going on with him. And he just did not look good
• 12:31
  yesterday. And he made it.
• 12:32
  I mean, he was he was his harshest critic.
• 12:34
  You know, after the game he said there's not a team in the NFL
• 12:36
  that if I was their quarterback today, they would have won.
• 12:38
  So he knew he played well. He played bad.
• 12:41
  So I I don't know what you do now, like we're out of playoff
• 12:44
  contention, just go out and play 3 now and then press it off.
• 12:49
  Like it's been a joke that we're still talking playoffs the last
• 12:52
  couple weeks. Like this team, it's a losing
• 12:54
  football team. It's just because you're
• 12:56
  dramatically impossible now. But you know, Jamar Chase says
• 13:00
  some things post game and you know, it's like Joe's always
• 13:06
  there for me when I need him, but I've never, he's never
• 13:08
  really in my life. I felt like needed somebody.
• 13:11
  What did? What are you reacting to?
• 13:12
  DK Metcalf Touchdown I just lost the Shirley Squirrels.
• 13:17
  God, but Joe Burrow is like, well, Jamar's like, you know,
• 13:22
  Joe's always been there for me when I've been down, but it's
• 13:25
  never really been the other way. And I think maybe it's my turn
• 13:29
  to kind of check in on Joe, make sure sure everything's right.
• 13:32
  And maybe he's just exhausted from the the injury recoveries
• 13:38
  from the losing and it's just all kind of compiled.
• 13:41
  And I mean, that'll get to you mentally.
• 13:44
  And but the only way you fix this is you put a better product
• 13:48
  on the field and give him a chance to win.
• 13:50
  And he deserves that. And this franchise and this
• 13:53
  organization better figure out a way to do that in the offseason
• 13:57
  because you are wasting a Hall of Fame quarterbacks career.
• 14:01
  Yeah, no, absolutely right. And and a Hall of Fame wide
• 14:04
  receiver's career, too. We've got to think about it.
• 14:07
  MP, he's he could have been the MVP and the other Triple Crown
• 14:10
  winner and you somehow didn't even make the playoff.
• 14:12
  Like if that doesn't sum it up and then you don't do anything
• 14:14
  but bring in 2 rookie linebackers to try to fix that
• 14:17
  or and a new defensive coordinator.
• 14:19
  Like it's, it's the same thing as with the seats, it's the same
• 14:24
  damn thing. Yeah, no it.
• 14:25
  Is you know there's a problem, you chose not to fix it.
• 14:28
  Yep, that you're spot on 100%. But I guess I'm done talking
• 14:35
  about the game. I'm I'm done talking about the
• 14:37
  season. Do you have anything to add with
• 14:40
  the national media? All this crap like Joe, he'd
• 14:43
  get, he's going to trade, He'd go to Andrew Luckett, he's going
• 14:46
  to retire. Can we stop with all this?
• 14:49
  Like, why does the national media always pounce on this
• 14:52
  stuff? Like they did the same thing
• 14:53
  when he was being drafted. He's going to refuse to play for
• 14:56
  the Bengals, made the big old storylines that he ain't going
• 14:59
  to play. He's going to pull Eli Manning.
• 15:01
  Like, can we stop with this? They just did everything.
• 15:04
  They, he, they, the organization did everything that he asked
• 15:08
  them to do. And now he's just going to be
• 15:10
  like, I'm going to the jet. See you later, Jamar.
• 15:14
  He they did what he asked them to do.
• 15:16
  And you know, I don't know if he asked them to improve the
• 15:18
  defense or not, but maybe he needs to ask that in the
• 15:20
  offseason and maybe he'll get that.
• 15:23
  I think it's not It's it. We've said it week after week.
• 15:26
  I'm tired of talking about it. It's time for a change.
• 15:28
  Taylor's got to go. Tobin's got to go and Al
• 15:31
  Golden's got to go. Get some, get some fresh, some
• 15:33
  fresh faces in here around the team.
• 15:36
  Like I said, give me Joe Brady. That's Joe Burrows guy and Jamar
• 15:39
  chases guy from college and let's let's let's switch it up.
• 15:44
  But look, the bottom line is you need an actual, real live
• 15:47
  general manager who's able to make decisions.
• 15:51
  I mean that that's what, yeah, I, I'm fine.
• 15:53
  I, I will take a new head coach. I will take new coordinators.
• 15:56
  That's that's great. But the bottom line is you need
• 15:59
  a real live GM. I mean, if if you're able to
• 16:03
  drive for Keely Smith and keep your job for 20 something more
• 16:05
  years, probably going to keep it for another one.
• 16:08
  But like, keep Duke Tobin, but just bring in a real GM over top
• 16:11
  of you. Well, get rid of Duke Tobin and
• 16:13
  bring in a real GM. But they're not going to.
• 16:15
  They just they're not going to. I agree with get rid of him, but
• 16:19
  I just don't think it's going to happen.
• 16:20
  But but Stephen A and all these Dan Orlovsky got to stop.
• 16:25
  He ain't going to the Vikings like he ain't retiring.
• 16:29
  Like stop with this clickbait. Great.
• 16:32
  What's what it is clickbait. People click on it, that's what
• 16:35
  they want. And then I get texts and it's
• 16:38
  just, no, it's not happening. Stop feeding into this national
• 16:43
  media that doesn't have a clue. He's just, is that a tough year?
• 16:47
  Is that a tough couple of years? You lose, you get hurt, you get
• 16:50
  frustrated and he wants to win, I think more than, I mean, look,
• 16:54
  everybody in NFL wants to win, but I don't think anybody wants
• 16:58
  to win more than he does. No, I agree.
• 17:02
  He's a competitor. It just beats you down and, but
• 17:08
  I, I don't know if I'd take, I'd, I wouldn't take another
• 17:11
  quarterback, but I guess the only other quarterback right now
• 17:14
  that I would consider taking is is Josh Allen.
• 17:18
  What come back by them yesterday?
• 17:20
  What is up with this him puking stuff?
• 17:22
  I have not seen that you texted me about that.
• 17:24
  What what? What's going on there?
• 17:26
  Fuke's every game. Like on purpose?
• 17:28
  Like pregame and he's like, if I don't get it all out, there's
• 17:30
  going to be more that come out during the game.
• 17:35
  He's just got those nerves with butterflies going.
• 17:37
  I. Don't I mean?
• 17:39
  He's superstitious. Like what?
• 17:40
  Like what? Like does he make himself throw
• 17:43
  up on purpose? I.
• 17:45
  Yeah. Or is it just natural like he
• 17:46
  naturally just gets that nervous feeling?
• 17:48
  Tough do it because he's like, if I don't, then it's going to
• 17:51
  come up during the game. If I don't get it all out of my
• 17:53
  system, does that make you kind of be wit?
• 17:56
  Like I don't want to be an athlete if I'm puking every
• 17:58
  week. It works for him, clearly he's
• 18:00
  an MVP and he's got leading his team to some big wins and it
• 18:06
  works for him I think. I got a puke 325 I'm trying to
• 18:09
  wrap up here. What?
• 18:11
  I've got a puke 325. I'm I'm trying to finish here.
• 18:14
  Cute Free 25. But I mean, what were they were
• 18:18
  down? What?
• 18:19
  Because we were following it while we were at the game?
• 18:22
  24 nothing I believe, I think it was 24 nothing.
• 18:27
  And at that point, you're like, damn, I guess maybe the Patriots
• 18:30
  are the real deal. Maybe we let's take a look.
• 18:33
  You know, last week we talked about you're like, man, maybe
• 18:37
  there are the real deal. Last week was.
• 18:41
  Who we believe. In it was 20, it was 21,
• 18:44
  nothing, with 553 left in the first half.
• 18:47
  OK. And then?
• 18:48
  So they were down 21, nothing. And then they were down 3128 in
• 18:51
  the 4th and had a touchdown with 6 1/2 to go to to to win the
• 18:55
  game. And really, I mean, his numbers
• 18:57
  aren't crazy. He threw for 193 yards, 3
• 18:59
  touchdowns, only ran for 48. Heck, he did that in one play
• 19:03
  against the Bengals last week. But big win for the Bills.
• 19:07
  And I, I mean that. I think that definitely puts
• 19:10
  them as one of the favourites to win the AFC.
• 19:13
  Yeah. Because I, I was looking for
• 19:15
  somebody who's been a competitor over the last couple years.
• 19:18
  So you don't have to take the the Patriots, the Broncos, but I
• 19:22
  mean the the Broncos just keep proving themselves, don't they?
• 19:26
  Somehow, someway, I, I yeah, I mean, that was a big win
• 19:29
  yesterday at home. The offense finally decided to
• 19:32
  show up and put up 34 points on the Packer.
• 19:35
  Good Packer team. So, yeah, you know, every time I
• 19:38
  doubt the Broncos, they they win good big games.
• 19:42
  They beat the Chiefs, they beat the Eagles, they beat the
• 19:44
  Packers. You know they they're. 12:00 and
• 19:46
  2:00. They're 12 and two, they're the
• 19:48
  number one season. I mean, it's hard to argue.
• 19:50
  And we've said this how many times that they shouldn't have
• 19:53
  lost that Colts game. Correct.
• 19:56
  So take that away. They're 13 and one bonus
• 20:00
  yesterday. 302 yards, 4 touchdowns.
• 20:03
  Big game for both. Probably his best game of the
• 20:05
  season, yeah. Yeah, I mean, he's might have
• 20:08
  had a couple that are close to it, but the heck of a win for
• 20:13
  the for the Broncos. And at 12:00 and 2:00, at some
• 20:17
  point you got to recognize that they're really good and we've
• 20:22
  had a hard time doing that. You beat the Bronco, Micah
• 20:25
  Parsons gets hurt, look like he's got an ACL, so he's done
• 20:28
  for the year. Yeah.
• 20:29
  He's, he's out. Yeah.
• 20:32
  I guess you got to talk about Grandpa Rivers getting the start
• 20:36
  yesterday and almost leading the Colts to victory over the
• 20:41
  Seahawks team that we both think is one of the better teams in
• 20:43
  the NFL. Yeah, I had the Seahawks
• 20:45
  probably is my top team in the NFL.
• 20:47
  But Rivers did what he needed to do.
• 20:51
  They didn't put him in positions to make mistakes.
• 20:54
  They didn't really allow him to. He didn't throw the ball down
• 20:56
  the field very far. I mean, he a lot of Dinkin and
• 20:59
  Duncan just to kind of control the ball, control the clock and
• 21:03
  they almost pulled it out. Hit that 60 yard field goal with
• 21:05
  under a minute left and you think maybe they they're going
• 21:07
  to pull this off and Colts defense just couldn't get that
• 21:10
  stop when they needed two at the end to that's Seattle hit the
• 21:14
  field goal to win it. I mean, rivers nothing exciting
• 21:18
  from him. You know, he's 18 to 27.
• 21:20
  So I mean 18 completions for 120 yards.
• 21:23
  That's 4.4 per completion. I mean.
• 21:25
  Yeah, he just wasn't throwing them all downfield.
• 21:27
  No, like, it's a lot of digging and dunking, controlling the
• 21:29
  clock, you know, not put them in positions to make mistakes.
• 21:32
  And you know, I thought it was an excellent game playing by the
• 21:35
  Colts. I was, I was a little surprised
• 21:38
  they settled for the 6th. They pretty much settled for
• 21:41
  that 60 yard field go with just under a minute ago.
• 21:44
  They ran the ball with Jonathan Taylor on 3rd down.
• 21:47
  And I mean, you get a first down there, you get it a little
• 21:50
  closer and you're able to take off some more clocks.
• 21:54
  I, I, I kind of was confused by Styken kind of being really
• 21:58
  conservative on the third down play.
• 22:00
  I get it. You got Philip Rivers, a guy who
• 22:02
  hadn't played quarterback in five years and you're trying to
• 22:05
  figure out a win a game. But I mean, you settle for a 60
• 22:07
  yarder, dude hits it, but then you're still leaving.
• 22:12
  I think it was like 47 seconds on the clock.
• 22:16
  And I mean, the Seahawks were in field goal range and in two
• 22:21
  plays, Yeah. And I mean kicked with just,
• 22:25
  they kicked with 18 seconds. Left as well, yeah.
• 22:28
  It it didn't take them long and and Jason Myers nailed the 56
• 22:32
  yarder, but the Colts hit a 60 yard hit.
• 22:33
  The Seahawks are alright. 2020 30 seconds later, we're going to
• 22:37
  have 56 yarder and we're going to beat you.
• 22:39
  But still just just seeing Phillip Rivers out there.
• 22:43
  We we, we this was kind of breaking last week when we were
• 22:47
  when we were doing the show, yeah.
• 22:49
  And then it was just like what they're they're talking to
• 22:51
  Phillip Rivers and less than a week later, he's on the field.
• 22:55
  A man's coach in high school football and played in five
• 22:58
  years. He's out there coaching high
• 22:59
  school football. He's got grand.
• 23:01
  He's got a grandkid. And like, yeah, let's, let's get
• 23:05
  back into this thing. Presets, the Hall of Fame clock,
• 23:07
  the whole thing. And almost Ledger team to
• 23:10
  victory. I mean, was it all Phil goes the
• 23:12
  entire game or did the Colts have a touchdown?
• 23:15
  The Colts Rivers did have a touchdown pass.
• 23:17
  Colts The Colts had a touchdown pass from Rivers, but the
• 23:21
  Seahawks were field goals all game.
• 23:22
  The what? Trevor Lawrence has 6 touchdowns
• 23:26
  as the Jaguars just stomp The Jets.
• 23:29
  The Texans continue to. They were O and three at one
• 23:32
  point. Yeah.
• 23:33
  And and now they're what, 9:00 and 5:00 as they take care of
• 23:37
  the Cardinals? The Bears stomp the Browns.
• 23:41
  The Eagles shut out the Raiders. The Raiders are terrible.
• 23:44
  They are terrible. Chargers beat the Chiefs.
• 23:47
  Chiefs eliminated from a playoff contention.
• 23:51
  Yeah, which is, I mean, six and eight Chiefs and they've lost
• 23:56
  how many in a row? Because we we had them back up
• 24:01
  as one of the top teams in the NFL and three in a.
• 24:06
  Row and four out of five out of 6. 5 out of 6.
• 24:10
  Yeah, my homes Mahomes tears is ACL, so even if they were in
• 24:15
  playoff contention, I don't think Gardner Minshew was going
• 24:18
  to be the answer to put him over the top.
• 24:19
  No, but I mean this late in the year that makes you wonder about
• 24:22
  when he's going to be available next year.
• 24:23
  Correct, Yeah. You're looking at normal
• 24:27
  recovery time at about 8 months. So it'll put him back right
• 24:31
  around the start of season. I mean, depending on when he has
• 24:35
  surgery, I'm assuming he'll have surgery as soon as he can so he
• 24:37
  can get the rehab going. Yeah, I mean that'll put him
• 24:40
  back right around the pre season for the start of the regular
• 24:46
  seasons. Yeah, and you know, it's.
• 24:49
  Like a Parsons. Another one score loss for the
• 24:52
  Chiefs after last year, not losing anyone score games this
• 24:56
  year, they've pretty much lost them all.
• 24:59
  So it it just it just kind of balances out there.
• 25:03
  Is that the last we're going to see?
• 25:04
  Is this the last we're going to see of Travis Kelsey in the in
• 25:07
  the NFL? I think getting married over the
• 25:10
  summer. Go live that Swifty life.
• 25:14
  I mean, what do you think? It's very possible I.
• 25:15
  Think it's very possible. Yeah.
• 25:16
  I mean, there was, there was, there was talks about him
• 25:18
  retiring at the end of last year.
• 25:21
  But now that he's getting married and another year older
• 25:24
  and the Chiefs seem to be on the decline, think maybe he, well,
• 25:28
  he hangs it up. But that might be one reason why
• 25:31
  he he doesn't want to go out like this, potentially giving.
• 25:35
  He's got enough Super Bowl championships.
• 25:36
  I mean, he's got enough Super Bowl championships that I think
• 25:39
  he's fine. The The Rams, after losing to
• 25:44
  the Panthers last week, get back on the in the win column with
• 25:47
  the. 41 points yesterday. 4134 win over the Lions.
• 25:52
  I mean, Stafford throws for 370 yards.
• 25:58
  Puka had 180 yards receiving. I still think the, the, the Rams
• 26:04
  are probably, I think I'd still have them at the top of the NFL
• 26:09
  just because the weapons and that, that young defence that
• 26:12
  they have. But I mean, you just you look at
• 26:14
  the standings and it's just what stands out to me is that how
• 26:21
  just still the Broncos are are 12 and two wild, but your
• 26:27
  division leaders right now are the Patriots, the Steelers, the
• 26:30
  Jags, the Broncos, the Eagles, the Bears, the Bucks.
• 26:34
  Actually, the Bucks are tied with the Panthers, and then the
• 26:37
  Rams and the and the Seahawks are tied.
• 26:39
  And can we give some credit to Tyler Shuck and the New Orleans
• 26:43
  Saints who have now won back-to-back games over the
• 26:47
  vision leading Tampa Bay and the Panthers I think were tied for
• 26:51
  their division lead, not for the coming off that win against the
• 26:55
  Rams last week. You know, Tyler Shuck since he's
• 26:59
  taking over, his Saints QB has a winning record.
• 27:01
  I think he's three and two. So, you know, there was talks of
• 27:06
  they drafted him in the second round for a reason.
• 27:08
  I think he's done enough thus far to where he should go in the
• 27:10
  next the The Saints don't need to waste a high round draft
• 27:14
  picks on a quarterback. They could dress some other
• 27:16
  needs and give Tyler Chuck a chance going into 2026.
• 27:20
  Yeah, I mean, this is what you're, you're playing late
• 27:23
  season games for when your teams, you know, who got three
• 27:27
  wins, You, you're, you're trying to figure out if you've got any
• 27:30
  pieces for the next year. And you're right, Chuck has done
• 27:34
  that and Chase Young in his post game comments is talking about
• 27:37
  how well, you know, Tyler Shuck is playing.
• 27:39
  So the teams are rallying behind him a little bit.
• 27:42
  And yeah, it's good. It's good to see the former
• 27:45
  former Cardinal doing some things in the NFL.
• 27:48
  And I think there was a lot of optimism with him going into the
• 27:51
  season. And it was.
• 27:53
  Took a little longer than I think a lot of people to see
• 27:55
  him, you know, get to get a start and he's he's taking
• 27:59
  advantage of that. Yeah, he's made the most of the
• 28:01
  opportunity, absolutely. Anything else in the NFL?
• 28:03
  No, we haven't really done a top ten list in a while.
• 28:06
  Do you want to do 1 real quick or you want to save that for
• 28:08
  another time Do. You want to?
• 28:10
  We can try it real quick. OK, you.
• 28:13
  Want to start? Yeah.
• 28:16
  Just this like I feel like in the past years this would be so
• 28:19
  easy and it's just yeah, but but go.
• 28:23
  All right, first pick. I mean, I've, I've ignored them
• 28:27
  all year, but we're going to go with it.
• 28:28
  We're going to go the 11 or 12 and 2 Denver Broncos.
• 28:31
  You're doing it. I they keep proving me wrong.
• 28:34
  At no point you like we got to start putting them higher.
• 28:38
  You got, I mean, you got to trust the numbers and the
• 28:40
  numbers say that they're 12 and 2, so we'll go different Broncos
• 28:43
  at #1. I'll go, I'll go.
• 28:45
  Rams at at 2:00. Yeah, to go pick.
• 28:49
  I'm going to go Seahawks right behind them at 3, both of them
• 28:52
  sitting there at 11 and three in the division.
• 28:56
  All right then give me Buffalo. It go pick.
• 29:01
  Let's go pick. What are we?
• 29:04
  So what was that? That was 4th pick. 5th pick.
• 29:08
  The Los Angeles Chargers will be my fifth, fifth choice.
• 29:13
  So right now we're we're at Broncos, Rams, Seahawks, Bills,
• 29:18
  Chargers. Yep.
• 29:19
  I mean, there's an obvious like sitting out there.
• 29:23
  I got to go, Patriots. Yeah, yeah.
• 29:27
  I mean, it was the Chargers and Patriots for me was was a tough
• 29:31
  one. But yeah, Patriots, that's a
• 29:34
  good pick. Hard to ignore those numbers as
• 29:35
  well. They're 11 and three right after
• 29:38
  that. Let's go.
• 29:40
  I mean, they keep, they're playing really good football
• 29:43
  actually right now. And they just put up big numbers
• 29:46
  yesterday. Let's go with the Jacksonville
• 29:48
  Jaguars. That's the first love the Jags
• 29:51
  have gotten all year from us. I.
• 29:53
  Mean they're sitting there at 10 and four.
• 29:55
  They are on AW55 game-winning streak, which the Texans are
• 30:00
  right behind him on AW6. William Collins got him playing
• 30:04
  some good ball down there. I mean absolutely dominated
• 30:06
  yesterday. Yeah, I, I mean, the defending
• 30:08
  Super Bowl champions are still nine and five.
• 30:10
  I know they've had issues, but I got to go to the Eagles at 8:00.
• 30:12
  OK, nine. I'm going to go.
• 30:15
  Like I said, that the team that's on AW6, they're hot.
• 30:18
  The Houston, TX started out three and five and they're
• 30:22
  sitting there now at 9:00 and 5:00.
• 30:25
  I guess a playoff race. I mean I, I got 2 NFC North
• 30:30
  teams that I'm trying to decide between for 10 and I don't know
• 30:34
  Michael, I would have gone Packers but Michael Parsons
• 30:37
  getting hurt maybe makes me lean Lions I.
• 30:39
  Oh, you don't trust the Bears at all?
• 30:42
  Oh no. Yeah, I'm not picking the bears.
• 30:44
  Not a Bears guy. I mean, Caleb Williams is going
• 30:48
  to have to prove it. OK?
• 30:49
  When I said two NFC North teams, you assumed the Bears were one
• 30:51
  of them. I did, I did, But I agree with
• 30:55
  you on part with Parsons being out.
• 30:58
  You know, I I don't trust it. They got, I mean, the Broncos
• 31:03
  beat them pretty, pretty solidly yesterday.
• 31:05
  How many picks they got left one you what have one pick left.
• 31:09
  No, I think it's it that was 10. I was at 10.
• 31:12
  That was 10. So leaving out the 10 and 4 San
• 31:15
  Francisco 49ers? Yep, leaving out the Green Bay
• 31:19
  Packers and Chicago Bears, both of them with four losses, 9:00
• 31:22
  and 4:00 and 10:00 and 4:00. I mean, no, nobody from the AFC
• 31:28
  North is worth anything. Which they shouldn't be on.
• 31:30
  There, they shouldn't be on there.
• 31:32
  The Colts with Old Man Rivers, they're definitely out.
• 31:35
  So yeah, I don't know. I think we, we, we, we think we
• 31:38
  got some, some good, some good picks in there.
• 31:41
  You know, the Bears being left out in the Niners being left out
• 31:43
  is a little controversial, but. I only think in 10 teams, I mean
• 31:46
  more than 10 teams make the playoffs.
• 31:47
  Your boy Mendoza won the Heisman.
• 31:50
  He did first Hoosier and program history to do it, won it pretty
• 31:55
  convincingly. Wasn't really that close of a
• 31:56
  vote. I think he deserved it.
• 31:58
  When your team's 13 and O, you're the number one seed in
• 32:00
  the College Football Playoff and you've had the season that you
• 32:03
  had with the numbers you put up. I mean, I think that was the
• 32:06
  obvious choice. I mean.
• 32:08
  Yeah, I mean, I Diego Pavia steals the the spotlight with
• 32:13
  his actions. What he usually does.
• 32:17
  Which is just shut up like Mendoza, your team's 13 and O
• 32:24
  you won the Big 10. You threw for 3000 yards, 33
• 32:28
  touchdowns, 6 picks. Ego Pavia's thrown for 3200
• 32:31
  yards, 27 touchdowns and eight picks.
• 32:34
  And yeah, I get it. He ran, runs the ball.
• 32:35
  He ran for 800 and and 26 yards, but in no world is 11 and what a
• 32:43
  10 and two quarterback that numbers are similar that runs
• 32:46
  the ball a little more. Should he be complaining about
• 32:49
  not winning the Heisman over a quarterback who's led his team
• 32:51
  to an undefeated record and the number one in the seed in the
• 32:54
  tournament? You know, he took to social
• 32:57
  media and was blasting the Heisman voters and blasting
• 33:00
  Mendoza and blasting Indiana and, you know, kind of kind of
• 33:04
  talking a little bit of stuff. But I mean, Pop is a great
• 33:08
  player. There's no doubt he puts up
• 33:10
  great numbers. I mean, the stuff that went on
• 33:12
  afterward was a little unnecessary, but.
• 33:16
  Do you lose respect for him after all this a little bit?
• 33:19
  Does it change the way you look at him?
• 33:22
  I mean, I think that's, that's just kind of his personality
• 33:25
  though. I mean, we, we've kind of he's,
• 33:27
  he's the, he's the flashy, kind of talks a lot.
• 33:29
  He backs it up on the field. I mean, that's just kind of who
• 33:32
  he is. It doesn't surprise me that he
• 33:34
  did it. I think he's hurting himself if
• 33:37
  he's trying to play in the at the next level by doing it with
• 33:40
  his antics and with the stuff that he's saying.
• 33:42
  So I think he needs to watch what he says and the way he acts
• 33:45
  because there's NFL scouts and GMs that are potentially
• 33:49
  interested in him that might pass on him.
• 33:51
  You know, we saw it kind of what with what should our Sanders and
• 33:54
  how he dropped so far because. Of he didn't do anything like
• 33:57
  this, he. Didn't do anything like this,
• 33:58
  but he, you know, he some of the things.
• 34:01
  I think Dion had as much to do with that as anything.
• 34:04
  Yeah, but but we saw it though, that your actions off the field
• 34:07
  can, can, can kind of hurt you. You know, this is another
• 34:12
  example of if you, if you want to play on Sundays, you might
• 34:16
  want to watch what you're doing. And he did issue an apology
• 34:18
  today. I don't really know if he meant
• 34:20
  it. I'm pretty sure his agent
• 34:21
  probably told him to do it. I don't know.
• 34:24
  There's no doubt. Yes, he don't.
• 34:26
  He didn't just come up with that on his own.
• 34:27
  No, because it doesn't seem like the kind.
• 34:29
  He doesn't seem like the kind of kid that would apologize.
• 34:32
  I don't know. I'm not, I'm not surprised by
• 34:34
  it. I mean, I'm not saying I lost
• 34:35
  respect for him. I mean, I think he's a great
• 34:36
  player and I don't, I don't know him personally, so I can't say
• 34:39
  that he's a bad person, but. This is what we got to base it
• 34:42
  off of. Yeah, I don't know.
• 34:44
  I mean, that's that's why it's important as it is.
• 34:46
  I don't know if I would want him quarterbacking my NFL team.
• 34:50
  Right. To me, there's a difference
• 34:52
  between being confident, yes, and being an idiot.
• 34:58
  I mean, he just he just kind of came.
• 34:59
  I mean, it's like it's that sore loser type of I know he's a
• 35:02
  competitor and he wants to win everything he does.
• 35:04
  And winning a Heisman Trophy is, you know, one of the goals if
• 35:09
  you it's like the top of the top of the top, like, you know, like
• 35:12
  that's one of the biggest things in in in your football career.
• 35:15
  So I understand the disappointment losing, but
• 35:17
  there's a way to lose the right way.
• 35:19
  But you can just disappoint it. Yeah.
• 35:21
  And I think that's perfectly normal.
• 35:23
  Yeah, but to act like a entitled little brat?
• 35:26
  Yeah. I mean, it changes my perception
• 35:29
  of him a little bit. Like it's to me it screams I'm a
• 35:35
  me guy being complain about your team not being in the playoff
• 35:38
  because your team was really good.
• 35:40
  Yeah. You know, I mean, weren't really
• 35:45
  on the brink, they on the brink, but they were good enough to win
• 35:47
  some games. They could have won some games
• 35:50
  in the playoffs. But I don't know, I it just it
• 35:54
  rubbed me the wrong way. Like be happy for the guy next
• 35:57
  to you that won it, that has very similar numbers and went
• 36:00
  undefeated and your team lost two games.
• 36:04
  And that's why you didn't win the Heisman and that's why you
• 36:06
  wasn't even close because everybody felt that way.
• 36:10
  So you're in the minority, Diego.
• 36:13
  I mean, that's, that's what it is.
• 36:15
  And maybe it's being around Theo Von and being in this this
• 36:18
  Hollywood, like my like all this kind of stuff.
• 36:21
  Maybe that plays a role in it. I mean, I don't know much about
• 36:24
  Theo Von, but I know that he's kind of been hanging around with
• 36:26
  him. And maybe that gets to your head
• 36:28
  a little bit and maybe it's all moving a little too fast for
• 36:31
  him. But just be be a gracious loser.
• 36:34
  You learn more about somebody when they lose something ever
• 36:37
  than when they win something. Well, man, especially,
• 36:40
  especially from where you come from, like you, you know, you,
• 36:43
  you went to what D3 school? Where do you start out?
• 36:48
  Wasn't AD 1 college? I'm not sure off the top of my
• 36:50
  head. Then he goes somewhere.
• 36:51
  New Mexico State. Yeah, he was in New Mexico State
• 36:54
  for for two years. And then he comes to vanity and
• 36:56
  just balls out at vanity and, you know, and gets noticed.
• 36:58
  So it's like you think he could be a little more humble just
• 37:01
  from where he started to where he's been to where he's gotten,
• 37:05
  you know, But I don't know, maybe that would like the
• 37:10
  journey, like he would appreciate it more the journey
• 37:12
  and be a little more humble, but.
• 37:15
  But but you're right, I I will be interested to see like I
• 37:18
  haven't really seen him that high on draft boards to begin
• 37:21
  with, was it? Yeah.
• 37:23
  So it'll be interesting to see what how that affects.
• 37:27
  But if you like. But if GM's are on the fence,
• 37:28
  like let's say you're that. Late.
• 37:29
  I know he's undersized too, so that plays a role.
• 37:32
  But if you're that projected late round 5th, 6th, 7th round
• 37:35
  pick and you know, James might just say, Nah, it's not not
• 37:39
  worth it. We're going to pass.
• 37:41
  Yeah, So I don't know that's it's the story should have been
• 37:45
  Mendoza and being undefeated. And I feel like it kind of
• 37:48
  turned in to to Pavia still in the story and just, I don't
• 37:53
  know, just just kind of rubbed me the wrong way.
• 37:55
  But I did see one set of stats that compared and this look, I
• 38:01
  am not taking anything away from Mendoza because Burrows senior
• 38:05
  year at LSU was just wild. But have you seen their numbers
• 38:08
  compared to each other? I mean, obviously both Heisman
• 38:11
  winners and this is Joe Burrows is going to be two extra games
• 38:15
  because they play two games to get to the and when they won the
• 38:18
  title. But Mendoza 29880 passing yards,
• 38:23
  Joe Burrow 5671 passing touchdowns.
• 38:27
  Mendoza leads the nation with 33 Joe Burrow 60 NCA record
• 38:33
  interceptions, both 6 completion percentage 72 Mendoza 76 Joe
• 38:38
  Burrow that's a rating 153 nine Joe Burrow one O is 2O2.
• 38:44
  Mendoza did rush for six rushing touchdowns.
• 38:47
  I don't think Joe only ran for two.
• 38:49
  But I mean, just putting those numbers side by side.
• 38:53
  Does that say more about like it just says more about the fact
• 38:55
  that that LSU team was just incredible and and obviously Joe
• 39:00
  played a big part of that. I mean, that LSU team was
• 39:03
  historically good. Like not just good, they were
• 39:06
  historically good. I mean, they're up there with
• 39:09
  that. My was the 2000, 2001 ish Miami
• 39:13
  Hurricane team that had all those draft picks on it.
• 39:15
  Like then yeah. I mean, Burrow, I think is is
• 39:20
  better than Mendoza. He had, you know, that season
• 39:23
  just speaks for self. But I mean, he's Joe Burrow.
• 39:26
  I mean, it's it to be seen what Mendoza will do in the NFLSI
• 39:29
  think he's projected to be a first round pick.
• 39:30
  It's not the number one first quarterback taken, but he's no
• 39:34
  Joe Burrow. But he also didn't, I think he
• 39:36
  is. He doesn't have the talent that
• 39:38
  Joe Burrow has either or had. No, I mean, it's just, it's just
• 39:41
  so different. But that's just comparing those
• 39:43
  numbers side by side. Just it's just, it's insane.
• 39:46
  It's pretty alarming how different they are.
• 39:51
  We haven't talked a ton of college hoops yet, So and last
• 39:55
  week I wanted to talk about the stat that Matt Norlander put out
• 39:59
  from CBS. But because we went, I think
• 40:02
  almost an hour talking college football alone, we really
• 40:06
  weren't able to get into any college hoops but last week's AP
• 40:13
  Top 25, which was Week 6. Every champion since 20 Four
• 40:18
  2004 has been in the top 12 of the Week 6 AP rankings.
• 40:24
  Yes. So that's every year since 2010.
• 40:28
  So I'm going to read off the top 10 from last week.
• 40:33
  Top 12. Top 12 Do you think there's any
• 40:36
  teams outside of this top 12 that could potentially win it
• 40:39
  all and ruin this streak? Arizona.
• 40:42
  Michigan, Duke, Iowa State, UConn, Purdue, Houston, Gonzaga,
• 40:46
  Michigan State, BYU, Louisville, Alabama.
• 40:50
  I mean, obviously you're taking that field, you're taking that
• 40:53
  against the against anybody else, but is there anybody that
• 40:56
  kind of stands out that's not in that top 12 that you think could
• 40:59
  potentially win it all that you've been impressed with yet?
• 41:02
  I mean, there's there's teams outside of that top twelve that
• 41:05
  I've been impressed with, but if I'm taking a national
• 41:09
  championship champion right now, it's going to be one of those
• 41:11
  top 12 teams. But teams that I think are
• 41:14
  really, really good that aren't in that top 12 yet.
• 41:17
  I mean, you're looking at the Arkansas Razorbacks who who beat
• 41:20
  a top ten Louisville team at home, was up big on Louisville
• 41:24
  early in the first half. And you know, they held on late
• 41:27
  to get that victory that they're also coming off another big win
• 41:30
  over a ranked Texas Tech team. I think Texas Tech was ranked
• 41:33
  16th this past weekend and and Arkansas handled their business
• 41:36
  there. It was a great game, though it
• 41:38
  was a. Great way.
• 41:39
  To start Saturday. Yeah, like Arkansas, they got
• 41:41
  off to a slow start. They lost some some marquee
• 41:45
  game. They lost to Michigan State by
• 41:46
  three, lost to Duke by 9 in a game that they were, I think
• 41:51
  winning most of the way there. And then their other loss was.
• 41:56
  They just lost 2. They all lost two.
• 41:59
  OK, yeah. So a three-point loss to to
• 42:01
  Michigan State and then a loss to Duke.
• 42:03
  I think it was in New York City at the Garden in a game that
• 42:06
  they were winning for a decent chunk of that.
• 42:08
  And Duke kind of pulled away late, so 2 good losses and like
• 42:12
  I said, they've got a couple big wins under their belt.
• 42:14
  So I I would say Arkansas is probably one of those teams we.
• 42:18
  Took our last three games. They beat Louisville and Texas
• 42:20
  Tech. Yeah, I mean that's.
• 42:22
  I think Kansas is on that list as long as Peterson can stay
• 42:25
  healthy. You know, he's he's been out for
• 42:28
  a little while when they've lost a couple of these these three
• 42:30
  games that they've lost. But that's a team that has a lot
• 42:33
  of talent. They could put it together, but
• 42:36
  in another team that I'm two teams I've been very, very
• 42:38
  impressed with that I don't think have a chance to win the
• 42:41
  national title. But Vanderbilt is playing great
• 42:44
  basketball, as is Nebraska. Nebraska goes into Illinois this
• 42:48
  past weekend. He gets a big victory.
• 42:50
  And both of those teams now ranked in the top 15, I believe.
• 42:54
  Let's see, Nebraska's 15, Vanderbilt's up to 13th.
• 42:57
  So those two teams I don't think will win the national title, but
• 43:00
  they're they're charging and they're off to great, great
• 43:02
  starts. Yeah, and Hoiberg's kids
• 43:05
  playing, playing for him there, which is which is kind of cool.
• 43:10
  Yeah. I, I think, you know, another
• 43:14
  team that you didn't mention that has already lost four
• 43:18
  games. But if their guards can figure
• 43:21
  it out, you're defending champion Florida Gators.
• 43:24
  Florida. They they still have some of the
• 43:27
  best bigs in the country. I mean, they're so deep there.
• 43:32
  Their guards just I mean, obviously Walter Clayton was so
• 43:36
  good last year, but you know, this year their their guards
• 43:42
  have kind of struggled. What they brought in kid from
• 43:47
  Princeton, what's his name, Xavion Lee.
• 43:51
  And then they also brought in Boogie Flan.
• 43:53
  And I mean that I don't know if the the UConn game last week was
• 43:57
  was such a fun game to watch. They just didn't get plays down
• 44:00
  the stretch from from their guards.
• 44:02
  And Xavier Lee's got a cut a lot of slack because his move to
• 44:06
  Florida was so publicized. But I still think, you know,
• 44:09
  they've got the talent back there, if those guards can
• 44:12
  figure. It out and they've they've had
• 44:14
  some some close tough losses against really, really good
• 44:17
  teams. I mean, they've lost that that
• 44:19
  opening game to Arizona by 6 in a game that was very close and
• 44:22
  Arizona is now ranked number one in the country.
• 44:25
  They have that unexplicable loss to TCU along the way.
• 44:28
  They lost by 4 there on a neutral side, but that game that
• 44:31
  they played in that a CCSCC challenge at Duke at Cameron was
• 44:35
  one of the best games of the season.
• 44:37
  Duke pulled out a one point victory, but Florida was up
• 44:39
  late. They hit a three with under a
• 44:41
  minute left. Duke came back and answered that
• 44:43
  3. So that was a back and forth
• 44:44
  game. They're late to.
• 44:46
  Florida was right there and had a chance to win it.
• 44:49
  And then, like you said, that game against UConn where they
• 44:50
  lose by 4:00 and all three of those teams are ranked in the
• 44:55
  top five. And then you got that, you got
• 44:58
  that, you got that TCU mark on your resume.
• 45:00
  But your other three games where you, you're losing by 4 points
• 45:03
  here, one point there and six points there.
• 45:05
  All the top 3 or 4, all the top five teams.
• 45:08
  That's, I mean it, it proves that they can play with, with
• 45:11
  the, with, with the best of the best.
• 45:13
  So they are, you're right, they they have a chance.
• 45:15
  We'll see. They they got to get better and
• 45:17
  look, anytime you're adding new pieces, sometimes it takes more
• 45:21
  time to jail than others. And they've got the talent and
• 45:24
  let's see if they can. I don't think the SEC is strong
• 45:27
  this year. So league play, they should
• 45:29
  should be able to get some confidence.
• 45:31
  I I Arizona and Michigan, I think it really kind of
• 45:34
  separated themselves from the pack.
• 45:36
  I would put Duke in that, Duke in that.
• 45:38
  I think you could put Duke in that pack as well.
• 45:41
  Arizona gets a 20 point win against Alabama and they get 6
• 45:48
  points from Coopy, which just proves that, you know, they, I
• 45:55
  mean, they're just, they're a deeper team.
• 45:57
  And then Yaxel from Michigan has been yet a Lindenborg who came
• 46:03
  over from UAB. I mean, not a lot of people were
• 46:06
  talking about this transfer and now he's in conversation of
• 46:09
  potentially being maybe in player of the year talks.
• 46:15
  I mean, if you had to, if I had to pick the team that I think
• 46:18
  has played the best though so far this year, it's going to be
• 46:20
  Michigan I. Mean they're just killing.
• 46:22
  Everybody, they're not just beating teams, they're beating
• 46:25
  ranked teams by 30 and 40 points.
• 46:27
  You know when they went out to that play, they won the whole
• 46:29
  Players there tournament. They beat San Diego State in
• 46:32
  their first game by 40. They beat Auburn by 30 and
• 46:36
  Auburn was ranked 21st. And then they beat a Gonzaga
• 46:39
  team by 40, a very good Gonzaga team by 40 points, and then they
• 46:44
  just keep it up. I mean, I know it was Rutgers.
• 46:46
  They beat Rutgers by 48, they beat Villanova by 28, then they
• 46:49
  beat Maryland by 20. So they're not just winning
• 46:52
  games, they're winning games convincingly.
• 46:55
  Well, and, and look, if you want to argue Arizona, I mean,
• 46:58
  they've got 5 top 25 wins already.
• 47:01
  They've already beat Florida, they've already beat UCLA,
• 47:03
  they've already beat UConn, they've already beat Auburn,
• 47:04
  they've already beat Alabama. So I just there's it's an
• 47:08
  exciting year for college basketball because I think there
• 47:12
  are a lot of of really good teams.
• 47:15
  And I mean, you talked about Duke, they've already got four
• 47:18
  top 25 wins with with Kansas, Arkansas, Florida and and
• 47:22
  Michigan State. So going to be a fun year for
• 47:26
  college basketball. And you know, one team, we
• 47:29
  haven't talked about who we probably need to because they're
• 47:32
  playing in our backyard, but P KS got a really good team.
• 47:38
  Yeah, no, they're, they are playing some, some good ball.
• 47:43
  You know, they, they had that one tough loss down at Arkansas,
• 47:45
  which on the road at Arkansas is going to be tough.
• 47:47
  Really anybody. They got that slow start, but
• 47:49
  they turned it around that second-half and and came back
• 47:53
  and and made it a game. Yeah.
• 47:55
  I mean, they come off a huge win over Memphis.
• 47:58
  They have a tough, tough Rd. match up tomorrow night at #20
• 48:01
  Tennessee. So that'll give us another kind
• 48:03
  of benchmark of where this team currently is by all all case in
• 48:07
  point, they're playing some they're playing good basketball.
• 48:10
  They're playing top ten quality basketball with Michael Brown is
• 48:13
  one of the top freshman in the country and he's he's living up
• 48:16
  to that hype. You know, and you've got we got
• 48:18
  Ryan Conwell leading the leading the way with 19 points per game.
• 48:23
  And then you know you. They're just so balanced.
• 48:26
  Though it is balanced. You know, Mcneely, we hit what,
• 48:28
  18 threes the other night against Memphis and your best
• 48:31
  shooter, Isaac Mcneely, wasn't even one of them.
• 48:33
  Yeah, you, you, you stole my point that I that that's what I
• 48:37
  was going to say. But then then you got the
• 48:39
  development of some of the other guy like Sunanda Frou has come
• 48:42
  such a long way from from where you started in those exhibition
• 48:46
  games. And he's playing some great
• 48:47
  ball. He's averaging 11.
• 48:50
  He's averaging 10 points for games, .6 points per game and
• 48:53
  six rebounds. You guys like Kobe Rodgers that
• 48:58
  they can come in like against the Indiana game, he plays
• 49:01
  great, has what, 12 points that Indiana games they're they're
• 49:04
  10D. All guys can score.
• 49:07
  A lot of guys can shoot it. Cason Pryor look like he's
• 49:10
  getting a little bit more healthy.
• 49:11
  He played well in that Memphis game the other day.
• 49:13
  Most minutes he's seen most points he scored.
• 49:16
  So, you know, as as he progresses and gets better, it's
• 49:19
  just another piece to the puzzle that you can add.
• 49:21
  No, and I think can I is playing better.
• 49:23
  I mean, he, he had a really good game against Memphis.
• 49:26
  Wooly comes off the bench and hits 5 threes.
• 49:28
  I mean, he's going to do that for you.
• 49:30
  Well, I mean, obviously he's not going to get 5 threes every
• 49:32
  game, but he's a, he's a weapon off the bench.
• 49:38
  Just look, I, I walked away saying, do you know what this
• 49:42
  team's got? There's the talent to win it
• 49:44
  all. There's just, there's some
• 49:46
  really, really good teams this year.
• 49:49
  So to do it you're you're going to have to be pretty special.
• 49:52
  In the way that this roster, this roster was constructed
• 49:54
  perfectly. I think it fits everything that
• 49:56
  PK wants to do with the shooters, the up tempo, you
• 50:00
  know, like he put this roster together, I think to really fit
• 50:03
  his system and it it it looks that way like he they look like
• 50:07
  a team that that flows well. They fit the pieces fit together
• 50:10
  well. They move the ball.
• 50:12
  I mean, we had let me look up the number on the the assist to
• 50:16
  to number of buckets we had the other day, but it was it was
• 50:19
  pretty incredible not Memphis game, the number of assists to
• 50:23
  to Mayfield goals. It's 24 to 30.
• 50:27
  Yeah, 24 assists on 30 made buckets.
• 50:29
  Yeah, pretty good percentage that's.
• 50:31
  Pretty damn good. Pretty good percentage.
• 50:32
  I mean, I look, I don't know how good Arkansas is, but I mean,
• 50:38
  they won by 26, but it was it was a bigger blowout than that.
• 50:42
  Look. You mean Memphis?
• 50:44
  Yeah, what did I say? Arkansas.
• 50:46
  Yeah, I don't, I, I think Arkansas is good.
• 50:49
  I don't know how good. I don't really.
• 50:50
  I don't know how good Memphis is, but good win for the cards.
• 50:54
  I mean, the Cats got to win. I mean, I don't think anybody
• 50:59
  needed to win more than Mark Pope in Kentucky.
• 51:02
  And they were able to, I mean, for what, 2530 minutes it looked
• 51:05
  like they were about to lose another one.
• 51:07
  And then? Yeah, they they shut IU down in
• 51:10
  that second-half. I mean, IU scored I think 19
• 51:14
  points, if I'm not not mistaken, 19 points in the second-half on
• 51:19
  Saturday after being up at halftime.
• 51:20
  And yeah, they kind of Kentucky kind of took it to him in the
• 51:24
  second-half and and pulled out. Like you said, there's it's hard
• 51:27
  to say it's must win games when it's mid-december, but I feel
• 51:31
  like you're right. That was a a kind of a must win
• 51:33
  game for Kentucky. For that fan base like.
• 51:37
  No, I you scored 21 points, Sorry.
• 51:39
  In the second-half, they snuck out.
• 51:40
  Too late. It was looking pretty dire there
• 51:42
  for a little bit. Yeah, yeah.
• 51:44
  I mean, and Mark Pope probably needed more than anybody, I
• 51:47
  mean, just to get the fans and they're not off of him, but it's
• 51:51
  it's not they're still on him. But to get a little little push
• 51:55
  back to get him off there a little bit was probably was big
• 51:58
  for him. So what to get to the bowl
• 52:03
  games? The the cards playing in the
• 52:05
  Boca Raton Bow? The bushes?
• 52:07
  Beans. Bushes baked beans, baby.
• 52:11
  You know you can get in there for free.
• 52:13
  Can you? Just bring a bring a can of
• 52:16
  beans, baby. Really like the smokehouse
• 52:18
  beans, like the honey bee, like the.
• 52:20
  You better bring bushes beans. I mean, what kind of bushes?
• 52:23
  They get different flavors. I'm a big Bushes baked beans
• 52:25
  fan. I like bushes.
• 52:27
  Any kind of bushes, beans, you bring them in and you get a
• 52:30
  ticket. And they're obviously.
• 52:33
  Going to donate the the canned goods.
• 52:36
  So that's a pretty good deal. I like that.
• 52:38
  It's not a bad deal. I mean, what's a what's a can of
• 52:40
  Bush beans cost? What about two bucks 3?
• 52:43
  Bucks 2-3 Bucks, yeah, so you can get in and watch a bowl game
• 52:46
  for 2-3 Bucks. Watch cards.
• 52:48
  Play Toledo. I would hope that fans would
• 52:50
  bring more than just a can, you know, to kind of help out, maybe
• 52:52
  bring a couple cans, get your free ticket.
• 52:54
  But yeah, I hope, I hope a lot of people do that, you know,
• 52:58
  feed the homeless, feed those in need and come watch a come watch
• 53:01
  a good football team, come watch a good football game.
• 53:04
  Yeah, I did, you know. And Sonny, Boca Raton.
• 53:07
  When did when did you find out about this today?
• 53:10
  Through me or did you already know it?
• 53:11
  No, I knew it. I didn't know it.
• 53:12
  I got, I saw it earlier. OK, but I'm like this reals like
• 53:17
  I didn't. I didn't want to get tricked
• 53:18
  like we did with the waitress. I didn't want to get Bush beamed
• 53:23
  with with some AI stuff. But you got it like the Dukes
• 53:27
  Mayo bowl, they do the mayonnaise celebration, the
• 53:30
  Cheez it bowl. You know where they dump the
• 53:32
  mayonnaise out of the Gatorade cooler in the Cheez it bowl, you
• 53:34
  dump the cheese, it's on the winning coach.
• 53:36
  And last year when we went to the Tony Tiger frosted flakes
• 53:39
  bowl, there was a a bowl of frosted flakes that was dumped
• 53:42
  on the winning coach. So in the Bush's baked bean
• 53:45
  bowl, are we dumping Bush's baked beans?
• 53:48
  I. Mean, I think you got to.
• 53:51
  That's to me, it's a no brainer. I mean, what are we even doing?
• 53:54
  I mean, look, you got to add elements like this to make these
• 53:58
  bowl games intriguing because they are becoming less and less
• 54:03
  intriguing with the playoff. But if you're smack, if you're
• 54:06
  like tearing the face off of a real live pop tart and then you
• 54:11
  see his his skeleton insides, like people look forward to
• 54:14
  that. You know, you poor Mayo on a
• 54:17
  dude on coach's head. People look forward to that.
• 54:20
  Yeah. So yeah, I, I think look, Coach
• 54:23
  Brahm, if if you're able to, and you probably should win this
• 54:27
  game, you're going to get beans on your head.
• 54:30
  I hope so. Because that's what the that's
• 54:31
  what the people want. Then you got to, I feel like,
• 54:33
  you know, like the teams, they go down early and they do like a
• 54:36
  lot of different. There's a lot of events that
• 54:37
  that surround a bowl game. You know, there might be a
• 54:39
  parade or a fan fest here or there, you know, like the battle
• 54:43
  of the bands. But let's get like a let's get a
• 54:46
  bean eating contest. Let's get the offensive lineman
• 54:49
  of both teams together. Couple days for the game and
• 54:52
  let's see how many cans of baked bean these these big guys can
• 54:56
  down. What do you think?
• 54:58
  That's fine. I would be so bad and what what
• 55:01
  nothing like I'll eat. Like give me a little bit of
• 55:04
  baked beans on my plate, but I'm not going all in on them.
• 55:07
  No, you're not a big bean guy. I'll.
• 55:09
  Eat them. I'll eat them.
• 55:10
  But they're I'm like at a restaurant, they're probably
• 55:13
  when, when you're picking two sides, I'm they're not going to
• 55:15
  be one of my picks. Depends on the other side, no?
• 55:18
  A nice barbecue joint. Get the baked beans.
• 55:21
  Yeah, I'm probably not. Going to beans.
• 55:24
  I love when like, you know, you go to like a Easter or a
• 55:27
  Christmas or something like a family get together and
• 55:29
  everybody has to bring a side dish.
• 55:31
  I'm going, I'm going back for seconds on the baked beans.
• 55:34
  I like baked beans. I just look for the noodles and
• 55:36
  gravy bro. I know you do.
• 55:37
  Bring in the noodles and gravy. What if we What if we create a
• 55:42
  new dish? Can we do noodles and beans?
• 55:44
  No, no, no. But if I'm in a BBQ restaurant,
• 55:48
  I'm probably getting, I'll get the green beans, maybe, maybe
• 55:52
  some corn on the cob if they've got that.
• 55:55
  I mean, Mark's has got really good corn on the.
• 55:58
  Cob. Cob, yeah bro.
• 56:00
  I mean don't be wrong. I love corn on the cob.
• 56:02
  If you're at a BBQ restaurant, that side dish is probably 5th
• 56:05
  or 6th in line. That goes behind the Mac and
• 56:08
  cheese. It goes behind the green beans,
• 56:10
  behind the baked beans, probably behind the mashed potatoes.
• 56:13
  Because usually they got how? Many How many BBQ restaurants
• 56:16
  have mashed potatoes? I would say most.
• 56:19
  Some of them have a spice baked potato baked.
• 56:20
  Potato or sweet potato, but I don't know how many you're going
• 56:22
  to get of of mashed potatoes. Who's the restaurant that's
• 56:26
  around? Potato salad?
• 56:27
  Would you ever do that? I'm not a potato salad guy, but
• 56:30
  I would put that, you know, in the pecking order of BBQ
• 56:33
  restaurant popular side dishes that's going ahead of corn on
• 56:36
  the cob. That's just.
• 56:37
  So is Marx just the only BBQ place that has corn on the cob?
• 56:41
  Yeah, you can go make your own corn on the cob at home, no?
• 56:44
  It's like fried. It's like, it's like different.
• 56:45
  It's better. Fried corn, yeah, you get that.
• 56:48
  You go to a Mexican restaurant and get that.
• 56:49
  Like Tumbleweed has the fried corn on the cob.
• 56:51
  This is this Michael Vanover. Shout out to Michael Vanover.
• 56:54
  He he gets that Tumbleweed restaurant.
• 56:57
  That's that's his go to side at Tumbleweeds.
• 56:59
  It's Tex Mex, bro. It ain't.
• 57:01
  It ain't Mexican. Food.
• 57:02
  Well, whatever. I don't know.
• 57:03
  Corn on the cob is the weird pick.
• 57:04
  You. You.
• 57:05
  You're. Not I was going.
• 57:06
  I was going, I was going off Marx I I do kind of probably
• 57:10
  agree that that is a huge. You and your food opinion.
• 57:13
  What about fries? What about fries?
• 57:15
  Wedges. Wedges at A at a barbecue joint.
• 57:19
  Yeah, I'm not getting French at a barbecue joint.
• 57:21
  I mean, I guess when I'm thinking baked beans, I'm
• 57:23
  thinking more summer cookout than than I am barbecue.
• 57:25
  And still I'm getting a little little spoonful.
• 57:28
  Just a little guy. Just a little guy.
• 57:31
  That's disappointing to hear. But hey, if I coached my team in
• 57:36
  the bulk of its own bowl presented by Bush beans, pour
• 57:39
  them all on me. Let's go, Let's, let's go.
• 57:46
  We talk about 6-7 every single week.
• 57:48
  Yeah, why not In-n-out Burger? They're done with it.
• 57:54
  They're putting a stop to it. I don't blame them either.
• 57:57
  In-n-out Burger removed the number 67 from its ticket system
• 58:01
  after the viral 6-7 meme reportedly caused mobs of
• 58:05
  teenagers to flood restaurants. We have taken 6-7 out of our
• 58:11
  system, so whenever we're taking orders, it goes 66 to 68 because
• 58:16
  of people like you, one employee told a young man.
• 58:20
  The employee noted to People, the magazine, that the number 69
• 58:24
  was also removed from the system for a similar reason.
• 58:28
  Do you agree within an? 1000% agree because these videos
• 58:34
  that I've seen with these kids taking over the restaurant just
• 58:37
  for them to call out number six, seven and then basically start a
• 58:40
  mob and celebration like what, what's the point?
• 58:45
  What's the point? Like they're probably like, like
• 58:47
  these kids aren't probably ordering anything of substance.
• 58:51
  They might order what a a drink just so they can get a number
• 58:54
  out of the way. Like no, like it's causing
• 58:57
  chaos, it's disrupting the other diners.
• 58:59
  It's doesn't even make any ounce of sense whatsoever.
• 59:04
  I absolutely agree with taking out the 6/7.
• 59:07
  It just keeps going too, like it hasn't lost any steam.
• 59:11
  No. Like you would think at some
• 59:14
  point it would start losing some steam.
• 59:16
  I think it's actually picked up a little.
• 59:18
  Steam 100% it's still rolling downhill.
• 59:21
  Well, it it doesn't help, the college basketball coaches, like
• 59:25
  the Baylor head coach the other day told her play you better not
• 59:27
  miss these free throws because you're going to land on 6-7 if
• 59:30
  you make them. Well, and we're at the Memphis
• 59:33
  Louisville game on Saturday and Memphis hits it and we look
• 59:39
  around and kids are just, they just love it.
• 59:43
  What does it even mean? It's a rap song, but we still
• 59:47
  don't really know what it means. A rap song.
• 59:50
  And then Lamello Ball talked about his height being 6-7 and
• 59:54
  then here we are. But that's what I know.
• 59:59
  That's what I know. There's got to be an end to it
• 1:00:01
  at some point, but I mean, all it takes, did I even?
• 1:00:06
  Did I tell the story about BC and Stacey Hoyt, Oklahoma
• 1:00:09
  State's coach in the Caymans? You don't leave, but I don't
• 1:00:11
  think you've told. You've not mentioned it here on
• 1:00:13
  the pod, no. Because last week we talked so
• 1:00:15
  much college football, we really kind of ran out of time to talk
• 1:00:18
  stuff. But Oklahoma?
• 1:00:20
  State. Is this while you were on
• 1:00:21
  vacation in the Caymans? Well.
• 1:00:23
  I was working the basketball tournament.
• 1:00:24
  So you're on vacation? But Oklahoma State's there and
• 1:00:30
  they went two and O so good on them.
• 1:00:33
  Yeah, but they actually played the first game of the of the
• 1:00:37
  women's side. And Coach Hoyt is sitting
• 1:00:40
  opposite of our scores table at halftime of the next game.
• 1:00:45
  And yeah, I don't talk to coaches much when I'm working an
• 1:00:48
  event like that, but I'll say hi or I'll say Goodwin, coach.
• 1:00:50
  And that's that's about it. But I see her and I'm like, I
• 1:00:54
  was wondering if you're going to call time out when they hit 6-7.
• 1:00:58
  And she laughs. And I was like, well, we
• 1:01:00
  actually, I host the podcast. Nobody listens to it, but we did
• 1:01:03
  talk about it on the pod. She just smiled and said, oh,
• 1:01:08
  that's that's pretty cool. And that was the end of the
• 1:01:09
  story. But I did make sure that she
• 1:01:12
  knew that. Did you tell her the did you
• 1:01:14
  mention the name of the podcast? Maybe she's a loyal listener
• 1:01:17
  now. So if she is, shout out Coach
• 1:01:18
  Hoyt. Yeah, I, I, I didn't, I didn't
• 1:01:22
  name tell her the name of the pod.
• 1:01:23
  She could be listen. She could be listening to us.
• 1:01:26
  But it was, it was, I mean, it just continues to build up the
• 1:01:29
  the whole 6-7. Just talking to the coach who
• 1:01:34
  called a timeout when their team scored 67 points and let the
• 1:01:37
  whole crowd go nuts. Have you started listening to
• 1:01:39
  Christmas music yet? Yes, yes.
• 1:01:43
  When did you when do you when do you start listening to Christmas
• 1:01:46
  music? I mean, it's acceptable to start
• 1:01:48
  listening to Christmas music. I'm not asking when it's
• 1:01:50
  acceptable, I'm asking when does Neil start listening to.
• 1:01:54
  Christmas, well I don't have it on like 24/7 like.
• 1:01:57
  But like in your car, like when you're commuting, when do you
• 1:02:00
  are you listening to Christmas music on your commutes?
• 1:02:03
  Not every day, not every time. But you have.
• 1:02:05
  Yeah, probably about 3 * 4 times since Thanksgiving.
• 1:02:10
  What are you listening to like? Psalm One O 6.9 FM 24/7
• 1:02:15
  Christmas music that's going on. Do you have a favorite Christmas
• 1:02:18
  song I. Mean silent nights, beautiful
• 1:02:22
  Jingle Bell rock, I mean Christmas in Hollis Run DMC.
• 1:02:30
  Is that the one you were singing yesterday at the football game?
• 1:02:32
  Yes, like I remember as a kid learning that every word and
• 1:02:39
  then like trying to karaoke when I was like 11, like, I don't
• 1:02:44
  know, 8910, I don't know how old it was, but I think we probably
• 1:02:48
  I tried to put on like a concert for the for the parents one day
• 1:02:51
  singing that song. Yeah, but that's still no
• 1:02:54
  everywhere to it. What do you?
• 1:02:56
  What do you got? I like some of the classics I'm
• 1:02:59
  going with like the frosty the snowman type deal.
• 1:03:03
  Here's because I just like I just can't see myself in my car
• 1:03:06
  by myself bumping Frosty the Snowman or Rudolph the Red Nosed
• 1:03:10
  Reindeer. Oh, that's a good one too.
• 1:03:12
  I actually do like Rudolph. I'm I'm a classics guy.
• 1:03:15
  You know, obviously, yes, they're 12 days of Christmas is
• 1:03:18
  kind of is, is not bad. You're not going to just sit
• 1:03:21
  there and sing 12 Days of Christmas.
• 1:03:23
  It takes a while, but you. Yeah, it takes your entire day.
• 1:03:26
  It takes takes 12 days to sing 12 days.
• 1:03:29
  I will like with the Evans family Christmas, we used to all
• 1:03:32
  have a line and we would do that every year.
• 1:03:35
  What was yours? It was different every year.
• 1:03:38
  Oh. It was different every year.
• 1:03:40
  Would you like draw it out of a hat?
• 1:03:41
  I. Don't remember how we did but we
• 1:03:43
  all like just we all had our. Pump you got like the the five
• 1:03:46
  golden rings, you pulled that out of the hat like.
• 1:03:49
  Yes dude, I was such a goof as a as a kid.
• 1:03:52
  Yes, I probably did enjoy having the five golden rings, and I
• 1:03:55
  guarantee you I belted it out. Then like if you got like the 11
• 1:04:00
  pipers piping or something, you got mad because you only got to
• 1:04:02
  say it twice. Well, it's better than being the
• 1:04:05
  12 drummers drumming. That's true. 12 drummers
• 1:04:08
  drumming. You sit there for 45.
• 1:04:10
  Minutes. You get to say it one time.
• 1:04:12
  You get to say it one time. Yeah.
• 1:04:15
  One time. That's your big moment.
• 1:04:18
  But I had like, I have not turned on the Christmas music
• 1:04:21
  yet. I guess I need to do it.
• 1:04:24
  Did you and the Evans family growing up or maybe even do it
• 1:04:28
  now? I don't know you.
• 1:04:30
  You get all bundled up and you go around the neighborhood
• 1:04:32
  singing Christmas carols because I frowned upon in the South.
• 1:04:35
  I got up in the weather yesterday.
• 1:04:37
  I'm I'm done with being out in the weather unless I have to
• 1:04:40
  anymore. But now did yours?
• 1:04:43
  Did your family? No family.
• 1:04:47
  I did do it once. I remember it was like might
• 1:04:51
  have done it with my church group to be honest with you.
• 1:04:53
  I did go Christmas caroling one time as a kid.
• 1:04:55
  I forgot why we did it, but I think it was my church group
• 1:04:57
  that did. It I I didn't know that was
• 1:04:59
  real. I just thought people did that
• 1:05:00
  in the movies. No, it's real.
• 1:05:03
  Somebody's you're sitting at your house chilling, watching a
• 1:05:06
  movie and it's not Christmas and it's like somebody knocks on
• 1:05:09
  your door and just starts singing.
• 1:05:10
  Then you got to stay in there for 4 minutes with your door
• 1:05:13
  open and the code you're going to be pumped about.
• 1:05:15
  That it's Christmas cheer, bro. Damn, yes my God.
• 1:05:21
  Kind of Scrooge, are you? Where's where's they show up
• 1:05:25
  tomorrow night. 745 cards are up too.
• 1:05:28
  Vols got the ball. We wished you up every What are
• 1:05:33
  you? Going to do.
• 1:05:34
  I'd slam the door in their face. I'll be like, hold on, can you
• 1:05:38
  come back in 20 minutes? That's what I was.
• 1:05:40
  Can't. Control when the carolers show
• 1:05:42
  up. Can you come back in 20 minutes
• 1:05:45
  and see what they say? But no, I'm not.
• 1:05:48
  I mean, no, I would be mad in that situation.
• 1:05:52
  But no. Usually like a nice Christmas
• 1:05:54
  Carol, you know, you open the door and they're singing like,
• 1:05:56
  oh, holy night or something. It's nice and peaceful and I got
• 1:05:59
  Christmas cheer. You don't.
• 1:06:01
  I've got Christmas cheer, but I I don't like random knocks on
• 1:06:06
  the door. When you showing up with a
• 1:06:08
  shotgun in the front door. I'll be honest, I'll look, I'll
• 1:06:11
  get a knock and I'm going to my ring Cam.
• 1:06:13
  I'm seeing who it is. Oh, we're we're, we're not.
• 1:06:17
  Yeah, we're we're. Not those carolers again, we're
• 1:06:20
  not. No way.
• 1:06:21
  We're not answering on carolers. Now if one of them's cute, maybe
• 1:06:26
  it'll be a different story. Got to open the door to find
• 1:06:28
  out. You do.
• 1:06:29
  No, That's what the ring's for. That's what the ring camera's
• 1:06:31
  for. You do not have to open.
• 1:06:32
  It she might be in the back and you can't see her, she says she
• 1:06:34
  the the cute 1 might be in the back and you won't be able to
• 1:06:36
  see her on the ring. I guess then I'll just lose my
• 1:06:38
  opportunity. Yeah, I I guess I need to turn
• 1:06:42
  to Christmas. Susan gone.
• 1:06:43
  Start getting a little more in the Christmas spirit because
• 1:06:45
  what, we're 10 days away? I mean, what you need to do is
• 1:06:49
  change your Christmas tree decorations and take that goofy
• 1:06:51
  hat off the top. Well, I'm about as close as I've
• 1:06:55
  ever been to taking it off after yesterday's experience.
• 1:06:58
  I will say that and I will be replying to the e-mail from the
• 1:07:03
  what's. Your Ted Paris hat on the top,
• 1:07:05
  huh? Put your Ted Carris Cincy hat on
• 1:07:07
  the top. Hey, I hope he wins man of the
• 1:07:09
  year. Yeah, no, he's doing great
• 1:07:11
  things. Yeah, he's raised a lot of good
• 1:07:12
  money. If anybody, if anybody wants to
• 1:07:15
  know the story, what do they go? Cincyhats.com, something like
• 1:07:18
  that, Yeah, I think. That's what it is, yeah.
• 1:07:20
  It's great story, great, great what he's doing.
• 1:07:22
  You need to get you 1. I do need to get me one, you're
• 1:07:25
  right, I do. But I mean, if it's what does
• 1:07:30
  the weather have to be in two weeks against the Arizona
• 1:07:32
  Cardinals for to make you walk into Pecor Stadium?
• 1:07:36
  Because I got a number in my head and if it's lower I ain't
• 1:07:38
  going. Because your number is probably
• 1:07:41
  75 and sunny. It ain't that.
• 1:07:44
  I mean, dude, it's 32 today. I felt like it was summer.
• 1:07:47
  Year it was 5°, weather #40°. Yeah, I was going to say 35.
• 1:07:52
  You're going to the game. I think 35 is a fair number.
• 1:07:54
  But you're going to the game. If it's five degrees, I am not
• 1:07:58
  going, I am not doing that. I.
• 1:07:59
  Would not go through that again. Yes, I I would guarantee it. 35°
• 1:08:05
  if it's 30, I can be talked into it. 25 you're going to be
• 1:08:09
  dragging me 20 I ain't going. They don't deserve it.
• 1:08:13
  It's hard to argue you're right. Bring your snow shovel and
• 1:08:16
  scraper next time so that we can defrost our seats faster.
• 1:08:19
  At least send a social media message out to your fans telling
• 1:08:24
  them to bring their shovels because we didn't do nothing.
• 1:08:27
  Oh, and they're telling people, the people are trying to bring
• 1:08:29
  in cardboard to sit on, and they're telling them, no,
• 1:08:34
  they're telling you you got to throw that cardboard away.
• 1:08:37
  Yeah. Get a clue.
• 1:08:39
  And there was a rush to get into at the last minute.
• 1:08:43
  Luckily we weren't a part of that or I would have been even
• 1:08:45
  more pissed because we went in what, about 15 minutes early?
• 1:08:48
  I think everybody else came in right at zero.
• 1:08:51
  And yeah, the thing. Oh well, yeah.
• 1:08:57
  I don't know. But I I think we've talked about
• 1:08:59
  we've gone on about 6-7 minutes too long here.
• 1:09:02
  Boy oh boy, go to bed. I got to edit this, but if you
• 1:09:08

  Last week we just saw I was wearing a beanie and that's why
• 1:09:24
  I was called Beanie Boy. And I'm just glad, I'm just glad
• 1:09:27
  you got your heat fixed or whatever the issue was that
• 1:09:29
  you're back to wearing normal clothing today instead of
• 1:09:32
  looking like you were at the football game in your own house.
• 1:09:35
  Well, we weren't told to do our do the show today in the same
• 1:09:38
  year we wore yesterday. I could have done it with that,
• 1:09:41
  with the little headpiece in the debogging, but there ain't no
• 1:09:43
  way I'm putting on that many layers again.
• 1:09:46
  No, for a long time. All right, for the six six nil.
• 1:09:50
  I'm the four foot 10. Nick, you've been listening to
• 1:09:52
  the height differential. We'll talk to you soon.
• 1:09:54
  Give. Shirley's Squirrels going to the
• 1:10:03
  championship. What a disappointing last week.
