  Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks minus four and a half in the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: New Orland Patriots. For someone who's in a hurry. You
• 1:16

• 1:46
  Speaker 1: podcast in a world of a million podcasts. Five stars.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: That's nice. I think people are cuttoning on that. If
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: they include my name, then more likely to get rid
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: out cuttoning on. Yeah, I like that, and I'll accept
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: that review fair enough. I'm okay with that review. Listen,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Brain's wait at the end of the day. Okay, swag
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: doesn't last, my friend, eventually. You can't wear a red
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: sequin jacket and a different pair of sunglasses. Why not?
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know the actor? Worst thing, Yeah, the act
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: wearing a different Columbia pullover sweater vests every day. All right,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: let's just get to the games. We don't have time
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: to bullshit today. Let's go Washington and Tennessee Titans by
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: nine aur Thank you so, Gina. Baltimore and Los Angeles
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Charges Charges by four and a half Bingo, make it rain,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Come on, l A. Yeah, okay, good wow? Why do
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you like l A? This is the first real run
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: defense that Baltimore is played, that's their four and one,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: but they have played literally five worse run defenses in
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the NFL statistic Buccaneers. They barely beat the Buccaneer. They're
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: going against the real defense on a short week for them,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: a longer week for l A. The Chargers, I mean,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: it's all right there for them, right, they're still chasing
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Kansas City to win that division and get the one seed. Yeah,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: l A. Here, I actually feel like l A. And
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: we'll get to the Chiefs Seahawks game. I think l
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: A is going to win that division. Well, that will
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: depend on what happens in Seattle. And I'm sure we
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: have different viewpoints on that. Well. I know we do,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: because I've already made a play on that game, allegedly.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Georgina Cincinnati, Cleveland Browns by eight half. What kind of
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: world do we live in where the Browns are an
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: eight and a half boyt favorite? I was having a
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: conversation with den Ravel this morning. You're familiar with Darren? No,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: who is he? Newest action? All right? He's the guy
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: who takes pictures of me every day when he wanted,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: The guy who's reinventing the company, the guy who, wait,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: are we becoming a company based off of trolling on Twitter?
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Is that what we do? The guy who's enthusiasm is
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: infectious and actually productive. We which has a little more
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: to your relationship with Darren. I'm gonna have to look
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: into this a little bit jealous. I'm gonna have to
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: call Stacy. Darren and I were discussing this morning. When
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: is the last time in Cleveland Browns? Uh, we're eight
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: and a half nine point favorites, and again, we're gonna
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: look that up. We're gonna write a story about that.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Darren's gonna write a story about that. Fascinating story. Probably
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: will because Darren's writing it. But I'm sure you want
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: to talk about it. Let's talk about it. Let's have
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: a conversation. Oh my god, what the funk are you
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: talking about. We're on a podcast. Yeah, we should have conversations.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: You want to write articles and read them into the microphone.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: What do you think of this game? I hate it.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Jeff Driskell is a quarterback for the Bengals. The Browns
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: are laying more than a touchdown. I can't go either
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: way in this game. Two teams from Ohio. Gross. I've
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: never been to Ohio, but I don't like it. I
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: was talking to a buddy this morning who's in Cleveland.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: He was talking about how beautiful it is this time.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: The mistake by the lake Cleveland said it was Cleveland.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Remember what Joakim Noah said about Cleveland, the juxtaposition of
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the Christmas decorations with the let me ask you something
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: jokin Noah hit the nail on the head. Who is
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the last person you ever met that said, yeah, I
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: just got back from a great vacation in Cleveland. Nobody.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: You're going after everything today, Nobody. You're in a bad
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: mood because you try. You feel bad. You haven't even
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: smiled yet. Time. Don't you're feeling if you think I
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: feel bad about keeping you waiting after you have kept
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: us waiting for days sometimes, No, No, I do not.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Georgina Tampa Bay and Dallas Cowboys by seven and a half. Tempting, right, yeah,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: because I mean, yeah, I don't do it. Yeah, I
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: know I can't. I don't want to either. I actually
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: feel like that. I think the Bucks are the right
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: side in this game. But let's come back to it.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: We can come back. Georgie Minnesota at Detroit Vikings by
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: five and a half. Anything can you read on this?
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Viking stink for a month, then blow the Dolphins out,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: but still stink for like a quarter and a half.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: This is no different than Steelers plus three or two
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and a half against the Patriots or the even more
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: apt the Niners plus five and a half against the
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Seahawks last week. Get to this game? What do you
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: think you like? Detroit? Is that what you're saying you like?
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Let's put it as a maybe. I don't know. You
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: don't sound convincing on that. I'm not convinced because either,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you know, I think Kyle Shanahan's a better coach than
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Ma Patricia, and I think you can get his team
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: ready for a game better than Ma Patricia can get
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the lines. Well, that would be great if Kyle Shanahan
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: was coaching in this while I was continuing the comparison,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: and they'll make it confused. It's mis let's go. It's
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: full season, Jens. And in the Black Chat Bowl we
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: have Buffalo New England. Alright, alright, hold on here, this
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: is I need to say something here. I there is
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: nobody at this company who has bet to New England
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Patriots more than I have this season. Do you do
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: you agree with that? Yeah, there's nobody. There's nobody this
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: company who is squarer than you. Hold nobody has bet
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: them more than me. I want it noted. When I
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: was on I'll take that bet. Before this season started,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I said, I took the under season win total for
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: New England under eleven and a half, which cashed, by
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the way, and I caught an immense amount of ship
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: from all of you Patriots fans out there, okay, telling
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: me this is the greatest team on earth, that there's
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: no way they're winning less than twelve games. Well, you
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: know what, suck it all right? I am done with
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. Done. Give me the bills, give
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: me Josh Allen, give me the points. The dynasty's over.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: They're done. Brady looked like Eli Manning against Pittsburgh. Eli

  Speaker 1: his logic. Okay. Next Houston at Philadelphia Eagles by two
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: and a half. I'm struggling with this one all like
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: every wise guy has bet the Eagle. Yeah. I When
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I did the podcast with Scooch on Wednesday, the Favorites podcast,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: we talked about the Eagles and he's like, yeah, I'm
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: taking the Eagles. I think he took the Eagles and
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Scooch through that. You know what worries me here? I
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: like the Eagles too, but why the hell should they
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: be favorite in that? I don't get it because of
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: last week? Yeah, but but I mean that just everything
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: you've seen for fifteen weeks tells you Houston is the
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: better football team. I like them with folds. I think that,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: for whatever reason, their offense is better with folds, at
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: least right now. But am I gonna lay points with
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: them against the Texans team that really is motoring down
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: the stretch here, really good. They don't need to do
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: anything on defense to bring pressure other than get the
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: four guys in the defensive line. Do we take the points?
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: This feels like Yeah, Darren shaking his head. Darren likes Houston.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Darren likes J. J. Watt. Who doesn't like J. J. Watt?
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's nothing about the Texans not to like
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: other than last week in l A with the Eagles.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: That's it. If you take that game out, there's no
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: way we're talking about taking Philadelphia. I actually agree with you.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Ten years from now, Darren, how much is a J. J.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Wat Jersey worth? Fuck me? Game used depends what depends?
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: What game? Do they get to the Super Bowl this year?
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: This is a dumb ask question because you know what,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: you would have asked this question eight years ago about
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: a signed Tim Tebow helmet. What would the answer have been?
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Twelve dollars? And now I would have gotten it right.

  Speaker 1: Caroline has done. That season's over. Trap game may here.

  Speaker 1: hell I talked to about this. Somebody. Rodriver is done there,
• 19:40

• 19:44
  Speaker 1: the rest of the year. That team has absolutely nothing
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: to play for. I think you will see reduced minutes
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: from McCaffrey Keikley Davis. There is nothing left for Carolina
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: after that game last week. Atlanta dan Quinn is gonna
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: be back next year. Okay, he'll still be there. That
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: team will play for him. I think Atlanta comes out
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: takes care of business here. I know the theory you're
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: you're you're reciting the theory of our friend that we
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: went out to dinner with on Tuesday. Yeah, yeah, that
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: was it, that was what had happened. Uh, there's better
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: games next New York Giants at indianatholisul by nine and
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: a half. I can't do it. I can't. I know
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: the cults are going to kill them in this game.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: We're not gonna do Listen, they're still right, you're right,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: there's still much better. You're right, But I can't. Darren's
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: written three stories, all of which, uh so far today.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Have you ever met someone more in love with an
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: outdated mode of communication? Do you do? You still have
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: a landline phone in your house? I need to get
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I need to get you. Wait, hold hold on, look
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: at me, look at me in the face. Stop avoiding me.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: You need to look at the stats. You you have
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: to look at the stats and the analytics before you
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: call them me outdated. Okay, I'm gonna calling you outdated.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I'm calling him outdated. Okay, you at least understand what
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: social media is, unlike Chad, whose company every second tweet
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: is a gift. That is true. We'll fix that, thank you. So, yes,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: you're not outdated. He is Mr Landline telephone. Now you're
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: turning it around, turn it on to me. I see
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: how you're doing. You're afraid you are the one that
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: created the rift between me and Darren. You did that, which,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: by the way, is poor management and leadership. You should
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: be encouraging cohesion between employees, not starting feuds. Everyone's got
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: their own methods. Next game, Jacksonville at Miami. You know
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: what we're gonna do with gives give ourselves good. We're
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: not betting crappy teams. Okay, good, Next, because I know
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: which two games were doing. I didn't want the Battle
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: of Ohio, sure as fun don't want the Battle of
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Florida Los Angeles Rams at Arizona. Rand I mean, look,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: the side is the side of the Cardinals. We have
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: done this with the Cardinals twice. Once we were right
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: once we were wrong. So do we want to do
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: we want to go to the rubber match here. I
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: think we got better games coming up. Okay, our next
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: two are the ones Chicago at San Francisco's four Chicago Chicago.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: We're not gonna but we need one more game that
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: you can Darren disagree about you. Yeah, we'll get We'll
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: get there. I can go back. Can I go back?
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: We're not Darren and I aren't on the same games here.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Darren can just take whatever Darren wants to take whatever
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: I want. I don't like just three games. I like.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: I like straight up watch I disagree. We're gonna have
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: a tough time find in that Buffalo New England's one.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: You already to Buffalo England and Packers second. I let
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Darren chooses three games. You've got three games. The Bears
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: are easily the right side here. The Bears the right side.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: You go to actually network Action Network dot Com. We
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: do a story every week where we power rate and
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: do the delta between our power ratings and the point spreads,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: and the Bears right now are the number one difference,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: meaning they have the best value of any game. Bears
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: number one. I believe Detroit is number two. The Bears
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: are easily the right side here. This is this is honestly,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: I'm shocked at this number. That defense is gonna kill
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Nick More And it's interesting. Last week San Francisco Seattle,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: San Francisco so felt like the right side. They do not.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: This is a different game with different teams, like totally
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: different team Chicago. Chicago is the hottest team in the
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: NFL right now over the last six weeks. All right,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: we're on the Bears Hitsburgh at New Orleans Saints by six.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: What's the gift? Because I don't have a feel for
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: this Saints. I'm not gonna argue with you. Love the Saints.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Love the Saints all your long. Love the Saints. As
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: you know, we both have Super Bowl futures on them.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Mine at a slightly higher price. I got twenty two
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: wins a win. I also have one of the Steelers.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Those are my two futures. H in the pool like
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: a good town, like a good town there black a wow,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: that mean a town saying both sides. You got to
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: you got too, and then you and then you hold.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Asked Chad how many super Bowl futures he's got seven? Well,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: you're low. I have two that I have bet individually.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: But then I'm in a pool where I can choose
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: eight teams to win the Super Bowl. That would be
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: ten ar ten. He's got a third of the league
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl, and the Steelers are one
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: of those teams that are in my pool. Yea, so
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: are the Bears. I'm looking forward to a I'm looking
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: forward to an NFC championship game between the Bears and
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: the Saints, where, like I'm I'm guaranteed at team to
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: get into the Super Bowl that I could potentially win
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: your sergificant money, I don't have the rims. Wow. Alright,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: so that's it for the NFC field. We're going with
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: the Saints. But listen, we got five games, but there's
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: two games still to discuss, uh, and so we could replace. Okay,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: let's go Kansas City at Seattle. I've already bet this, sad,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: I've already got the Seahawks on the money line to
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: win this game. It's Kansas City, it's Seattle. Why better defense?
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Chuck good running game against a bad rush d in
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: a difficult place to play against a quarterback who consistently
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: not just covers at home but wins at home. Okay,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: but you're let's forget the cover for a second. Years
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: of two and a half, He's gonna have to win
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: this game. That's why I bet it. I got better money.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I don't think that happens, man. I think people are
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: down on Kansas City right now because they've stumbled a
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: little bit the last few weeks. Ever since that Baltimore game,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: they've kind of stumbled. I think people are forgetting how
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: good that offense is. I really think they are. If
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: if Kansas City comes out of the gates quick and
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: puts up one in a hurry, Seattle is not gonna
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: be able to keep pace with that. Their offense isn't
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: built that way. I'm not saying they won't be able
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: to run the ball. They will, but they're not gonna
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: be able to keep pace with what Mahomes does. You
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: saw you saw Nick Mullins last week have a hell
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: of a day against them. There's nothing you can do
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: to change my mind. I've already made the bet. Fine,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: I'm just talking. Someone's gotta fucking talk, Chad Darren. Yeah, Darren,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: what do you think here? Have you picked a third
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: game yet? I have not? Um so so far, to recap,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: I've done the Packers, uh as three point favorites against
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: the Jets. Taking the Packers, I am also taking the Patriots.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: And just to show Flackjack how good I am, I'm
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna delve into the Bengals Brown's game, and
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? Are you gonna lay the points?
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Do it? You're gonna take the Browns? I am. It
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: isn't even a competition. No, let me just tell you why, Okay,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Jeff Driscoll, I just can't. I just can't. I've been
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: making that point for weeks. I just can't. I mean,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: he is like it was of Florida. He was off
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: of Florida. How did he ever even make it to
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: the NFL? I mean, Colin Kaepernick is five times better
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: than him, easy, I mean he's absolutely. Tom Savage is
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: better than him. Yes, I mean, what are we talking
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: about here? But Tom Savage was actually good at Rutger.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: I mean he had a couple of good games. Driscoll
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: was like garbage was terrible at Florida. Terrible, all right.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: So that's why I just I can't do it. I
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: don't like any other I don't like the Bengals running game.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: I don't like anything. No mine is ridiculous or eight
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: and a half whatever we're doing. But at eight and
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: a half and nine at the longest favorite since we
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: will have the article on the Action Network. Uh I will,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Browns, black Jack. Do you have
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: three games that you want to take? Sure? Do give
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: us the games l A Chargers minus for Chicago Bears
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: minus four. What is it? Four and a half for
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: the Chargers for for the Bears four and a half
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: four and the Chiefs minus two and a half. By
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: the way, I do think the easiest game of the week.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Not to slap it back at Blackjack, but I think
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: the easiest game of the week is that Bears game.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: We don't even need to talk about Denver Oakland because
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: we're not doing it. Stinks. Our games this week are
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: New Orleans minus six hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers, Chicago on
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: the road at San Francisco. We have Buffalo plus thirteen
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: against the Patriots. We have the Los Angeles Chargers minus
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: four and a half against the Baltimore Ravens. And do
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: we decide on Minnesota Minnesota Detroit. We didn't take that
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: what was our fifth I wasn't listening to you. I
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: think we took Houston. Yeah we did. We took Houston
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Houston plus two and a half against the Eagles. Those
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: are our five games. Um, you want to know something.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: I got you a really nice Christmas present? You did? Yeah?
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: I did. You're gonna give it to me right now.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: It's surprised. It's something that is so you, is it not? Yeah?
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: It's gluten free. Uh no, no, I eat gluten. It's
• 29:38
