Badlands Media - Y-Chromes Ep. 89: NFL Power Rankings, Army or Marines & Gym Redemption Arcs

Episode Date: August 18, 2026

Football season has arrived, and the crew wastes no time debating whose game day schedule reigns supreme (East Coast breakfast kickoffs versus West Coast five-beers-deep mornings) before diving into a coffee-warmer appreciation segment that somehow doubles as a good-brew sponsor read. The meat of this episode is ESPN's three-year future power rankings, and the guys tear into them team by team. Expect a genuinely heated defense of Jordan Love as a tier-one quarterback, shots at the "emerging tier two" label, Herbert-over-Tua takes, and Alpha absorbing blow after blow as the entire NFC West gets ranked around him. Along the way, CannCon addresses the online mystery of whether he served in the Army or the Marines, and the trio gets sincere about aging, back injuries, and gym redemption arcs, including Alpha's raw story of restarting at rock bottom. It closes with a "real conversation" between men and women, illustrated with cartoons nobody can quite explain. Sports, self-improvement, and locker room honesty.

The badlands, what are the badlands? Explain those badlands. That's a hell of a name. All right. Good afternoon. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Ychromes. What happens when you leave men unsupervised?

How you gentlemen doing on this lovely Monday morning or afternoon? Well, it's morning for alpha, but. I was to say, that's right. You're used to because it's one o'clock for you guys. Yeah, it's 1 o'clock. It's 10 a.m. baby. 10 a.m. on the west. coast the best coast yeah this is this is football time for us on the east coast damn right

NFL NFL football time is a an hour ago we'd already be an hour into the match right now or the game it's football time for us on the west coast too yeah but it's still 10 a.m so you guys are cooking breakfast and we start the crusties out of your eyes we're already like 10 bit not 10 beers probably like five beers deep bro we start the day with football how much better does that get y'all You gotta wait. You gotta wait till like nearly half your day is done before you get a game. Yeah, but then Sunday night football is over in time for the wife to be like, hey, let's do date night. Let's go out. You're making my argument. I am not making your argument. No, man, you gotta, you gotta be like, nah, Sunday night football is on. The weekend's over. I'm done. I'm done. But you said it finishes too early. So you can't be done if it's too early.

Well, if it's a bad game, if it's a bad game, go wallow, my sorrows, binge eat. If it's a good game, that's just when you kind of hang out with everybody for a little bit and everybody goes home. I don't. And what do you guys do now? with with the London football and all that shit, Europe football. Like, do you get up at like five games?

If it's my, if it's my team or a game I want to watch, yeah, I set the alarm. I'll wake up early. See, we don't have to do that. Our game,

our London games are at nine. So it, I mean, it sucks. Talking about an hour earlier than normal. I'm usually up at six, six, six,

Yes. I was just like, give me a second to give a spot to good brew. First of all, look at this badass fucking tumbler. Mm-hmm. Bro. Yeah. Bro. When it came in the mail, I was like, brew.

But anyway, so this stuff right here, I have it in my coffee. right. I'm telling you, you're coming to that season where there's cookouts, you know, you're starting to eat fried food again. It's football season. Do your gut of service and get some good brew. I promise you, you won't, you won't wake up the next morning with that. I won't even say it. Chappelle show. They had a skid on it. But, yeah, after all those ribs, I'll say it, mudbutt. You don't wake up with mud butt. I'll tell you that. But no, good brew. Good brew is, I got it before they were even a sponsor here because Alpha and Josh, they had a, What's the guy's name?

Gabe. Gabe, yeah. And he was talking about it. And obviously he was knowledgeable of the product, but he was just describing the digestive system and the immune system. And I was just like, damn, I am missing out on a lot of stuff I could be putting in my body to help it out. Especially with all the toxins and the poisons in the air, the food that you get to the grocery store. Like get you some good food, guys.

It's good. I love that. The biggest difference I notice, obviously it's all the healthy stuff that you describe. but if you're someone that deals with like certain foods make you bloat yeah done done you won't be bloated no more done i'm looking forward to that i've been eat i've been drinking it my coffee has turned into like a petri dish so so check this out my coffee every morning it gets a scoop of collagen from native path all and they're all our sponsors it gets a scoop of collagen it gets two scoops a good brew even though it says only one scoop so i'll back it down

to one scoop but it gets it gets uh one scoop it gets right now it gets two scoops of good brew it gets a scoop of cacao bliss it gets a little bit of benson honey to sweeten it up a little bit so i've cut back on the on the uh like i use the well i'm not going to say the brand but one of the natural creamers you know that's not like the oil base it's actually a dairy based and all that and um there's one other thing i put in there and i'm trying to think of what it is good brew, collagen, cacao bliss, benson honey. Maybe that's it. That's it. But I mean, that's a lot of things. And then I got the stir and I stir it all up. And then you get down to the bottom of the cup and you get the chunky stuff from, you know, whatever doesn't dissolve and you swish it up.

And then you pour it in and it's like drinking like like thick hot chocolate. It's like that's my last sip. So when I'm on daily, that's my last and I'm drinking coffee. That's the last cup I'm drinking. And it's so good. It's like drinking chocolate. I love it. Cam's probably seen. I had somebody asked me that. Alpha, how come when you drink your coffee, you go like this sometimes?

And it's because of that very reason. As you get to the bottom, you know, you got to get that last little mixture of all the good shit that you put in there. So it's good. It's good stuff, man. I fill a big Stanley cup each morning,

like three quarters of the way full. And then I pour it into, I've got a little electric coffee cup that stays hot. And so I put it over here on its little base. It keeps my coffee hot. And I don't know if you guys will see it. So this is what I have right here. It's my coffee warmer.

It's a plug-in one, but it has three temperatures. So like when I first put it on there, because if you put like your raw milk or whole milk, your cream or whatever it is that you have, that's cold, that brings, you know, cools your coffee down.

So I have it at the highest temperature. And then after about like 10 minutes, I'll drop it. But the biggest reason I got that is because I hate drinking my coffee when it gets cold. I don't know about you guys. I hate that. So then I felt like I was rushing my coffee. to drink it while I was warm with this thing bro.

Cam sat through some of the marathons, bro. I'll do two, three, four hour show. And the coffee will last me the majority of the show because I could just sip on it, man. If you guys don't have a coffee warmer or like what Cancon has, what those, game changer. If you're a coffee or a tea person, game changer. Especially if you're drinking throughout the day. So, all right. I promise the show is not all about it.

That was like that. bro talking about how we enjoy our coffee that's a man shit i like that yeah most men will be like there's there's just stuff and you guys you guys know cam more recently than us because he's he's a younger man you know there's the old timers don't leave no like cliff notes and shit for you bro that it makes me so mad i'm like why don't y'all tell me about there's a um there's a a chapel show skit where arsonio hall is walking around and he's like saying uh why didn't you tell me the cheese is so good and just slapping the shit out of people that's how i feel when i go when i see like an older man, especially what like an uncle, like my uncle, you know, I've known my uncle my

whole life. And I'm just like, bro, why didn't you teach me some of these life acts? And he's like, you got to figure it out on it out on your own young blood. I'm like, what you're talking about, man? What are you talking about? He thought me to the world life, bro. Right? My, my grandparents, who are the, the ones I learned to drink coffee from my dad never drank coffee until now. Like, within the last like three or four years, he's become like a coffee addict, which is really weird, but never drank coffee before. So I learned all my coffee drinking and my mom never drank it either. I learned all my coffee drinking from my grandparents. They lived down the street for me. And so they, my grandma would drink it out of a glass like cup. It looked like a coffee cup,

but it was glass, like clear glass. And throughout the day, her coffee would get cold. And I would have to, I'd see it sitting there and I'd be like, grandma, can I have a sip of coffee? And she'd be like, sure, because I don't know, I like coffee, I guess. And so I'd have a sip and it was cold. And I never dawned on me that you're not supposed to drink coffee cold. So I'm with, I'm with you, Alpha, like if it naturally gets cold, like I'll drink ice coffee. I'll drink cold brew. And that's, I'm not a big fan of cold brew, but like I'll drink like ice coffee. That's different. But like hot coffee that turns like room temperature is like, no thank you. No thank you. So that was a game changer. Christie got that for me for Christmas, the heater thing. It's just little little things like that

that brings so much joy to your life, man. You know, it just we need a. We need a come up with a book for like a cliff notes for young men you know it's like hey what to what you know the women have what to expect when you're expecting like when you're pregnant stuff like that we need for young men what to expect in your 20s which is pretty much nothing like do whatever you want you'll survive it right stay alive don't don't get uh don't get charges to where you it ruins your life hydrate and don't forget to breathe right you're good in your 20s but then your 30s your 40s Some of the guys that are in their 50s and 60s, like I would love to know like, hey, when you hit that 50 mark, man,

this is what you need to know. Stuff like, hey, you know, your knees are going to start, you know, feeling a little tired and stuff. So here's some of the stuff that works, right? Aliveate your legs or cold plunge or, you know, just things to, listen, let's take care of each other, man. How about like a book as a 40-year-old person to a 20-year-old man like hey 40 year old yourself telling 20 year old yourself don't do this shit like you you you you did this shit

don't do this shit right like don't go out and drink all night on you know whatever and and and you know wake up the next although it's more like don't do that in your 40s you could do it in your 20s and I was going to say a 20 year old me would not listen to a word you just said it like I bro but like if I could be trained 20 year old me would would write back like bro when did you sell out right yeah when did you sell out you're you're married aren't you bro you're the woman's got you doesn't you you're married when did we become a pussy i would go back and tell like like 15 and 16 year old me like don't jump out of trees just because you can do it like climb the highest tree and see who could jump from the highest branch like don't do that shit like not good for your knees your back

and everything else um yeah that that'd be pretty interesting to come up with some things to go back and and tell yourself besides like don't overdo it because you're going to feel it like i did with my back and like alpha has with his back and cam's still a young book so he's still made a rubber but you know i will say one thing though the more you guys bring up your back issues the more cautious i am about doing shit that i used to do when i was 26 now at 36 like the other day i was um or actually yesterday i was bringing a new desk in from my dad's office and i did by myself with the big ass dolly it's heavy as shit and um i was about to do something to hop up there like on the truck with the dolly and i was like hold up hold up leverage leverage because i had my

back in this weird angle and i was like bro that's a that's a disc right there and you can't get that back so thank you guys i'm the dude that's at target to get down to the diapers that does the band at the knees pick it up that's when you look at the little picture on the boxes bro that's me i'm the little picture bro like i don't i don't know surround them or here here's some good news as as i've been shedding the belly here the the the the pulling and the and the and the pressure on my back has been relieved man so just for those again those of you out there in dealing with back issues you know lumbar issues losing weight it's it's it's man it's going to help you you're going to feel good so alpha this weekend i had some absolute

retard on x that was like so can con which is it are you in the army or you you in the Marines because you're going to bring this up. I'm so excited you put it up on your own. You have said that you were in the army. You've said it nonstop on badlands and on sit rep that you were in the army. And then all of a sudden some guy writes a book about you that you were in the Marines. And then you came out and said you were in the Marine Corps. And I was like, this is the most retarded thing first and foremost.

Like no like I got I got mad love for my guys in the army. And the guys in the army would be like I'm proud to have been in the army. I want to make that clear going in here. but there's no motherfucking Marine out there that would ever lie about being a Marine and say no, I was actually in the Army. The other way around, I could possibly see that happen. Like, I could possibly see somebody that was in the Army,

be like, yeah, I was Marine. Maybe you're never going to find a Marine that's like, I was in the Army. And then they're like lying because they were actually in the Marine Corps. Like, not going to happen. I'm not a devil dog. I'm a soldier, bro. again, I'm not saying that anybody in the army is going to go out there and be like,

I was in the Marine Corps. Like, they're not going to do that. But if it was going to happen, it would be more likely to go that way, a soldier. But anyways, my point is, Alpha, I went back and I was like, this person's so retarded. Let me just shoot this down in one second. I went back to episode one of Sit Rep and was watching it. And I was like, Alpha looks like a totally. different person and I got to give you props bro. You look better now than you did four years ago when we

started that show. Cam's heard me talk about it. I always tell people if you want to know if this shit works. Now granted, I've changed my lifestyle too with, you know, getting back into the gym and stuff like that. By the time you want to know this stuff works, go look at my shows from like two and three years ago. And then just like every, you know, four and six months, four and six months. And you will see, you will see the difference. Grand, there was a lot of stress in my life. at that time too and you know stress cortisol you know it's bad for you but then again

that's why some of the stuff that addresses that it's we you know we think that we're going to live forever or let me correct that we don't think we're going to live forever because it's a difference we think we have forever

to make changes and the thing about it is every day like there's somebody I'm sure in the chat that's like you know, yeah, I'm going to get to the gym. Like that's on my to do list. This, you know, this weekend, I'm going. Like, no, all you're doing when you, I wish, I want to say it was Matthew McConaughey, a video where I saw, where I heard this. Well, saw it and heard it, but it might not be, but it was a video I was listening to. And he says, when we know we need to

do something and we say, all right, I'm going to get this to this tomorrow. I'm going to get to this Friday or Saturday. And we're like, all right, now we feel. better because we've we've we've committed to doing something so what we're doing is we're taking the reward of that thing we're supposed to do and celebrating it early and then we don't do it and and that becomes a habit if you're if you're someone that's right now and it's like you know I got to work out you know what you put your AirPods on and just start doing push-ups for you listen to the show do it now and and guess what if you can do 10 then just do one and hold it but just do something and and

and what you'll realize, and I'm telling you, I mean, I don't mind sharing this. Back in my law enforcement days, man, freaking stud healthy, stud healthy, loved it, right? And then, of course, you know, I started going through what I was going through in life, and you make the excuses. You justify what you're doing to yourself, right? Like, you know, I don't have time to go to the gym because I'm working three jobs. I'm doing this. Food on the table is more important than whether I got a belly or not.

And these things make sense to you, so then you start getting deeper and deeper into this whole. hole. It's it's not until you make a decision to do it. Now, when you make the decision to do it, everything is going to be stacked against you to make you be like, screw this. I'm not doing it. I went into the gym and I was used to pushing heavyweight, man. And so I go in there, say, it's time to get on it. Put 45, just one 45 plate, one 455 plate on each side. And at this time, I'm weighing about two 54. I was probably 2.54,

256. Right? And that's what, 135 with one plate on? Yep. And dude, struggling. I was like,

this shit's about half my body weight. I was embarrassed. I was ashamed. And I was just like, but I also knew, you know, thank goodness. I'm old enough to know, you know,

that you got to start somewhere. But to pull the 40s. fives off, bro, and grab 25s, you know, it's shame, bro. Shame, bro. Crushing. Yeah. Cushing, bro.

And, and dude, it was so crushing. I was like, all right, I'll come to the gym. When ain't no mother, I'm going there when the freaking, when the janitors is at 4 a.m. You know, but, you know, you do what you have to do. And then, but the thing is, is you start to, your body starts to remember, you know, and if you're new to it, your body won't remember. won't remember, but you'll start to feel that different. And before you know it, those 25s come off

and 45s are back on. And that's a win. That's a mental win because you're like, I'm that much closer. And then that's all it is. It's just, you just need to consistently win. And in the beginning part, just showing up is winning. Yep. I went through when COVID happened. I've told the story before, but I got hurt playing kickball before COVID, right before COVID, had to get out of the gym. And I was in the gym at this point, me and Christy, you know, I was doing the podcasting as a side thing. And we had our shop and she worked for me. And so we would go to the gym in the morning before going to the shop probably three or four days a week. And, you know, both of us were in fantastic shape. I was benching like 285. You know, I was like ripping, man. And I was, I mean, I was feeling

great. And then I get hurt and I physically could not go to the gym and then COVID hit and my gym closed completely like forever. Like it never reopened. And it's just been a struggle since then. I've tried to get back in there a couple times. But, you know, between my bad land schedule and gateway and my own shows and all that, like I got no time and I don't have Christy anymore because we don't work together like that anymore. And so I don't have my gym partner. It's a struggle. And I, and, And, you know, I keep saying like every, I'm thinking myself, because you know how it is, Alpha. Like when you take a long period off and you get back in, you're fucking sores hell.

Like you're like dying sore. Like the next day, you're like, oh, this is God. This is, this is painful. But the day after that is even worse. The second day is the worst day. And so I have to try and schedule it to where I'm not playing softball, you know, in a day or two after I get back in for the first time. And I keep procrastinating, man.

And I got it when my back is when my back is finally healed up. I'm going to fucking pull the trigger, man. But you get older and, you know, things, you don't, you don't make the same amount of, of, you know, man juice and all that. And just, you just, you don't have the motivation. The testosterone's not there. And you just get lazy. And it goes to a lot of the poisons that they put in our damn food, man.

Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep. That mean, Cam, you went through it with your knee, man. Your knee or your leg? Yeah, I got so this was in high school, but I got my. like snapped an half it was bad i got a titanium rod in there now and a screw holding it in place i've had

it since i was 17 and yeah man get like i had to relearn how to walk that shit was crazy like thinking about you go from being i would i'll flat out tell you guys i ran a when i was 16 i ran a 4 414 and then i went from that to a year later not no like relearning how to walk i start i run completely different now i'm probably in like the 4 5 4 6 range now so i lost i don't you know But still fast, bro. Oh, yeah. Well, but the thing is, I was lightning, though. Like, I was like, I was super fast.

But it's weird, man, when you, when you realize your body can't, and this was at 17, I realized my body was not able. I got that, I got an early version of what adulthood is like. Like, my body got like, I got an injury and I was just like, all right, you're an old man now. Knees started hurting. I can't sit on my leg for too long. It'll fall asleep to where it takes like a minute or two to wake up. But the key was getting out there and just doing one thing at a time.

Like, for anybody out there. there that's listening get outside and go walk go walk outside fresh air and movement of your body i don't like weights i don't care if you do what do you say and the sunlight yes sunlight get the sunlight the fresh air and just get your feet moving and i know your knees are going to start hurting i know your back's going to start hurting take care of that don't just ignore it's not just soreness because your muscles and your joints are not used to it but you got to keep going you got to find a way to get through that pain and keep going yeah but all that pain is caused by not working out like my My back pain is because I don't have the support around my back that I've had historically

because I've always done physical work, whether it was landscaping before the Marine Corps, the Marine Corps itself, or when I was in my shop working out every day. Now, for the last three or four years, I sit behind a chair for probably 70% of the day and I don't get any physical exercise. And so now, well, I do. I still play softball three nights a week or three games a week. And, you know, now, like, I'm starting to, my shoulder hurts, my back hurts, you know, and, you know, those are things because I no longer have the muscle support.

And I still think that I'm as strong as I was back then and that, you know, your bones, like your bones and your tendons and all that stuff depends on the muscle to be there to support it and to allow it to do the thing. So I'll try and throw, you know, a 90 mile an hour softball and I can't fucking do that anymore. But I still try to. And my tendons are like, nope, nope. My rotator cuff is like, uh-uh, not today. So there's, I'll talk to you offline, if not today in the next few days.

There's some stuff, bro, that that's natural. Okay. There's some natural stuff out there that I've noticed a significant difference with my recovery and all that. It just no one talks about this part, you know, everybody talks about, you know, and, you know, Jaco, Jocko, mad respect for the guy. but people talk about the 3 a.m. picture of the watch, right? And that shit is motivating. It is. But nobody talks about how do you even get to that point? Because that's a part that sucks. Like what we're talking about right here, this is the part where most people turn away. Like you're going to get someone right now that's going to be motivated, be like, oh, you know what? I'm going to go outside for a walk. I'm going to go for a jog or run. And they're going to be like, fuck, why do my, why do my feet hurt so bad and all that? And it's because those muscles, they probably have atrophy. You know, that you probably have poor circulation. You know, us, we do a lot of sitting. If you don't have exercise in your life, guess what?

You're going to start getting it. What's it called when you get the water and the swelling in your ankles and stuff? Adema or edema or something like that. I don't know what you guys are talking about. Yeah, that stuff. You know, and then you try to go run. Trust me, the weight will be an issue. And then you'll be like, well, let me talk to my doctor and doctors and be like,

well, you're probably pre-diabetic or you're probably got this. Here's a pill. Yeah, here's a. pill to deal with that. And then you're going to come back and be like, well, now I got this side effect. No, just be active. Just start moving. And guess what? When it hurts, one, and I'm not talking about injury. There's a difference between pain and injury. You know what I mean? Uncomfitableness. When you, when you work through that uncomfortableness, right? Like, oh, this is, this is not good. You know, you're going to, that circulation's going to come. You're going to see it. Whatever part of

your body, that strength is going to come. And do it at a pace that's comfortable, but don't stay comfortable. Yeah. You know, because that you, you know, what was the whole no pain, no game? There is some truth to that. There's also some very bad. Yeah. Don't don't push yourself to the, the level of injury, but push yourself. Right. Yeah. All right. Let's, let's get into some football talk, man. And I want to start out. This will be kind of, I got two things to kind of give a little palate cleanse. The first one is a direct, shot at alpha because this shit's gay as F.

Hey, do you want to go to brunch? No, no, no, it's still somewhere out. It's preseason football. It's preseason football. There's a game on for next 46 meetings. These games don't even. It's 10 a.m. and I'm hammered. No more Sunday, brunch it. Get me another fear, babe.

Fantasy. Word falls and Coles a way. The air has to be. The air has to be a corpse. Basically a corpse to you now. And the reason that that's totally gay is because he's wearing Niners gear and he's excited about preseason football. Have any of you guys watched a preseason game yet? So yes, but an explanation, explanation.

We went out to lunch after the gym, this place called Burgards and Beer. And you know, they have all the TVs there. So there's a baseball game on, those preseason. It was voluntarily turned on a preseason game. No, bro. It was all in the background out, but that doesn't tell. As a matter of fact, I was paying more attention to the St. Louis game than I was the football game. I think it was like Kansas City.

I don't remember who Kansas City was playing. I was actually watching the baseball game. Okay, okay, fair enough. Because the Packers played on Thursday night while we were on sit rep. I did not watch a minute of that game. The Dolphins played, I think on Saturday. I don't remember, but I was with Chris. No, no, it might have been Friday.

But I was with Christie. And I was like, oh, 177. I think they were playing the Falcons, maybe. Who? Did they play the, I don't know. We played the Broncos. Miami. No, we played the Broncos last week or weekend or whatever.

I just saw the school. But either way, we, I turned it off. I was like, yeah. And to Matt, Hamina jobs, his preseason as a Steelers fan is important. Well, that's who we played on Thursday. The Packers played the Steelers. So your Packers got their ass whooped.

See, this is why I don't watch it. Like, this is repartation. Your biscuits, love you, love you. But Packers got their asswop. That's why Brian is salty. You want me to prove to you? You want me to prove to you why preseason doesn't matter to real football fans? You can go to someone and be like, oh, the Packers paid the Steelers.

And they'd be like, oh, cool. Nobody asks who won. Nobody else. No gives this shit, bro. That's how you know preseason is irrelevant. And if you guys think I'm lying, go to one of the pubs, go to one of the pubs, right? And watch. And nobody's talking about who won because it doesn't matter.

The most you'll ever get is like what was the score at the end of the first quarter? That's the most you'll ever get. Right, right. And you guys, how did Aaron Rogers look? How did Jordan Love look? That's about all you're going to get. You guys realize that preseason is literally just my players that are going to get cut versus your players that are going to get cut at the end of the game. See, here we go. Buck Wayne. Cheeseheads had a meltdown. No, we did not have a meltdown. It's a preseason game.

I think it was just a cheese joke. I know. Maybe, maybe. But yeah, that's the point. All right. So we're going to get into the football. I do want to, this is just for Alpha. His boy, Abdul Al-Sayed. Did you see this comment he made about football? I don't think I did. Oh, this is epic. What a fag. Football is very much associated with a, you know, particularly. masculine and oftentimes toxic toxicly masculine culture and so much of it was about you wanted to be able to get back up and play for your team and you you really aren't allowed to show pain

or vulnerability that's part of the sport and I'm pretty sure he's trying to implicate that football is a bad sport because of those things I think tell that's a Ronnie lot bro you know you know how I'll get on to like football I'll be like bro if you're a linebacker and you're going you

sack the quarterback when nothing left, you get 72 virgins. He joined up right away. Join up right away. And in the case that he's like, nah, bro, I'll be like, I didn't mean virgins. I meant goats. All right.

So we got this here. Last week we went over this season. And I thought this was interesting. ESPN has a future power rankings for the next three years, which is really weird, really weird. So number one, they got the Seattle Seahawks apparently are going to be the number one team.

So already Alpha, the NFC West, is you're not off to a good start. The Eagles, number two, lions, number three, so there go my Packers in the North. Yeah. I can see the Lions being a top, top seven, top 17 more than the next three years.

That's believable. Yeah, we got the Broncos at number four. That's definitely believable with, with Bo Nix. The Rams, so Alpha, man, you're just taking blows here, but I can see that. At number five, number six,

New England Patriots, for sure. In fact, depending on how Drake May does this season, depending on how he does this season, right? We got to see if he's the real deal, but I think that they'd be much higher than that if Drake May comes out the same way. Number seven, we finally

got one of our teams, the Packers, reasons for Hope, Green Bay, yearly investment and young starters always leaves the Packerswell position for the future. Jordan Love is emerging as a tier two quarterback. Are you serious? He's emerging as a tier two quarterback? Okay, come on. Alongside Dak Prescott and Justin Herbert. Who out there right now, right now if you had to choose between Jordan Love, Dak Prescott, or Justin Herbert, who the fuck is taking Dak Prescott or Justin Herbert? You are, wow, Cam. Hold on, Cam.

Which one are you taking? Herbert, bro. Justin Herbert, bro. He's the truth. The Chargers, that Chargers franchise is just doomed for disaster. Herbert. I can see. I've often argued that the biggest mistake Miami did was taken Tua over Herbert.

Yes. Big, big, big mistake there. The thing is, is I see, I actually do see Herbert as a, as a higher tier two quarterback. I see that with Herbert. Yeah. Yeah. Loves the tier two quarterback. Yeah, that's my thing, though.

I think Jordan Love is a tier one quarterback. Yeah. Okay, so that's my point here is they're saying he's an emerging tier two quarterback, meaning he's not even really at that tier two level. That's fucking insane. They could say that about CJ Stroud. They could say that he's an emerging tier two quarterback. But no, Jordan Love is up there, man.

Like, Jordan Love, I think, obviously, though, games are different. But I trust Jordan Love more than I trust dude at Ravens. Jackson. Just because Lamar Jackson, it's his frailty, his frailty and decision making in big moments. Jordan Love can play in those big moments, whereas I honestly have not seen that proven from Lamar Jackson. Yeah, Lamar Jackson, you're right. He's fragile. He was great when he could take the licks, but he can't anymore. Yeah. He reminded me of what's his name, RG3. Yeah, RG3. Michael Vick, same thing. Yeah. Michael Vick, you know, he couldn't, he couldn't take the pounding. Once he got that leg broken man Michael Mick was a different player yep uh so it says and loves pass catcher

tucker craft christian watson jaden reed by the way Tucker craft i'm so excited to have him back oh my god he is such a beast matthew golden look as dangerous as ever with a couple of hits on young offense uh on young offensive lineman green base passing attacks should once again be one of the league's most potent reason for concern i remain concerned about the dependability and availability of those those that love depends on namely his receiver group yep 100%. But the real elephant in the room is the availability of edge rusher, Micah Parsons, big time. What level of play will he return to after his ACL tear? Green Bay has nobody on the roster who comes close to matching his physical profile. Nugget to know for the second straight season, the Packers were the youngest team in the NFL by snap weighted age in 2025.

They ranked 30th on offense, 31st on defense, 29th on special teams, and still made it to the first round or second round? I think we didn't make it out of the first round. We lost to the Bears. Yeah. Yeah. Who went on to, you know, go pretty far, pretty far. So we'll take it. Parsons will break Miles Garrett's single season sack record.

Bold prediction. He has never exceeded 14 sacks in the season, but since he entered the league in 2021, he has 29% career pass rush win rate. What? How is he going to break Miles Garrett's single season sack record when he doesn't even start until week six. Miles Garrett's a beat. This is for the 2027 through 20.

Oh, 20. Okay. Okay. That's okay. Fair enough. Fair enough. If Garrett can.

Okay. Anyways. So number eight, we've got the Texans. Number nine, the Ravens. Number 10, the Chargers.

Number 11, the Chiefs. And then number 12, the Bears. Oh, excuse me. Number 13, the Jaguaz.

And since, what's that guy's name that's on the show? J.B. What's that? What's that? What's that old, Lightman the name again. Just kidding, J.B. Just kidding.

No, I was taking a shot of him. Since he's not here, we're not going to read the Jaguars. But we will read the Niners at number 14, and I'll let Alpha do the honors. Can you see that Alpha? Hold on. Let me make my screen bigger real quick. All right. Do you trust Coach Kyle Shanahan? I trust them to get us to playoffs. I just don't trust them to win a Super Bowl. I do. The 49ers also refreshingly young and ascending on defense. So Longa Shanahan can continue printing quality offenses, despite shaky offensive line play and a carousal of injured playmakers, a 49ers will remain a tough out year to year.

Listen, I think Kyle Shanahan getting the car accident. I think that was him sacrificing for the team. The issue with the Niners is not talent and it's not plays. It's injuries. It's AT&T's data center. Yep, that's exactly what it is. Allegedly, allegedly, so that 18D don't sue badlines, allegedly. But here's the thing, if the 49ers can maintain a healthy team,

we're playoffs every single year, every single year. Nobody will convince me otherwise. Reason for concern, age, and longevity. That what concerns, you know who we got back, right? Who? On a one-year contract? No. Samuel, Debo, Samuel, baby.

Yeah, got them back for one year. How about age? dude sometimes you're just the beast uh that's what concerns me with the team particularly on offense left tackle trent williams is 38 fullback kiles you shuck is 35 and wide receiver mike evans is 32 man they're gonna bust his balls at 32 as a wide receiver that's ancient bro and he i think he left college you don't take his meaning hits he was like 21 when he came in the league mike evans has taken a fuck ton of hits he's it because he's a he's a physical receiver man He's a huge guy, too, man.

And I don't get me wrong. I would still take my for Evans right now. But compared to a running back or a tight-in, like George Kitto at 32, I weigh him at 32 way different than I weigh Mike Evans at 32. I feel like tight-ins have a longer career than-old. You're doing constant blocking. You're doing a lot of work. Like, you were always physical, always.

Anyways, and coming off an Achilles tear, on top of that, San Francisco deals with significant injuries. That's just resumming what I just said. Nugget to Nugget to Nucke. No, to expand even more on the Riddick mentioned above, the 49ers average age is a league high of 30.8 with Denver second at 29.1. That just means wisdom, baby. We got that NFL IQ, baby wisdom. Bold prediction for 2729. Defensive tackle, Oad will record at least nine sacks doubling his career high and earn at least the team all pro honors in one of the seasons.

Odd was a sharp acquisition by the 49ers, his offseason, and showed more past rushing shops in Dallas. then his sacks would indicate he was a 76 percentile to pass rush. We'll see. We'll see. All right. Wait, I want to bring this up on the screen. As the 49ers, cheerleaders continue to graze on the field. Buck when you're taking a shot of your girls, Alpha?

Hold on. I'm looking for the block button. Hold on. Hey, we don't even have cheerleaders in Green Bay, so there's that. Are you doing the cheerleaders? No. Buffalo, 15. We also have a live band on the field.

You're the only ones, though, right, that have live band and no cheerleaders. I don't think so. Wait, what? I didn't know that. Bro, Green Bay is so unique, man. They're not, they're the only one that's not has, it doesn't have like a real owner. Yeah, it's the fans owner. Well, well, well, well, there's stock in.

Yeah. It's a simple majority or a minority, rather. Yeah. I have stock in the in the Packers. Yeah. So when I say my team, I'm literally saying my team, as, I have ownership in the Green Bay Packers. I think it should stay that.

I got to find my stock certificate. I think my aunt has it. I think. I don't know. Buffalo bills number 15. 16, Dallas Cowgirls. 17.

Cincinnati Bengals. Just go to 32, man. Just get on down. Minnesota Vikings. 19. The Tampa Bay Bucks. Oh, there goes our division.

The Washington. Hold on, real quick. 19 was the first one in our division. It is he south. I love. 20, you got the Redskins, 21, the Saints,

22, the football giants, 23, the Carolina Panthers. There's no faith in us. Nope, 24, Tennessee Titans, 25, the Las Vegas Raiders, 26, the Indianapolis Colts. Wow. And then number 27,

the Atlanta, dirty birds. Go ahead, Cam. Yeah. Oh, you want me to read? I thought you wanted me to do the dirty bird. reasons for hope the falcons center 2026 with the new front office and new head coach and the the schematic turnover might take some time but other teams ranked higher than atlanta would do anything for its trio of extended playmakers and running back bjean robinson wide receiver drake

london and tight-in cow pitt senior reason for concern last year i wrote about the development of q b michael pinnox junior becoming a more accurate passer well now i'm just wondering whether he'll be available and dependable enough to be a long-term solution after yet another major injury in 2025, partially torn ACL. His competition for the starting QB job, Tua, has his own durability issues. Oh, really? He does? So it appears this situation has gone from bad to worse.

When we picked him up, I was just like, I mean, left-handed quarterback started the season, that's fine. And they're like, yeah, he's injured coming into the preseason. I'm like, oh, fuck this. This is dumb. When you heard that he was being traded, his wife tapped him on the back of the head and he had a concussion. Oh, that's probably exactly what happened, man. Poor guy.

He's a different wife. Concussions, bro. Dude, it's insane, man. Nugget to know, Robinson led the NFL with 115 broken or forced mistackles last season as a team that Falcons were second behind the Seahawks. That's pretty good. Bold prediction for 2027 to 29. The Falcons will not make the playoffs from 2027 to 29.

Atlanta needs a quarterback, but the current team isn't bad enough to land a top two pick. Oh, my God. You're so bad that you're not going to make the playoffs, but not bad enough to get a good pick. The Falcons could draft one next year, but they might have to give up some serious capital or to trade up. And though there are building blocks on this team, I fear the Falcons could be caught in the middle, even in the NFC South. Okay. So Cam, Cam, I want to give you a little bit of hope here, okay? Okay. Keep in mind, that is a bold prediction that they won't make the playoffs, which means that it's outside of like normal,

thought, which means that more and likely they are going to make the playoffs. Okay. In one of those three seasons. We just need Baker Mayfield to have a bet. But the thing is Carolina, like, they started getting better during the year last year. Well, I don't think Baker Mayfield is going to be around all three of those seasons. Bejohn Robinson deserves a playoffs for all. He does.

He's so good. He won you, he won you fantasy. He did. Kyle Pitts, man. Kyle Pitts was such a monster when he was at Florida. like he he was so good when he was at florida dude imagine being a georgia fan seeing kyle pitts being like fuck and then learning he's leaving leaving early and going to your falcons i was like yes oh kyle pits the one like we we were playing i think it was we were playing georgia

and like there was like two minutes left in the game i can't remember this was probably seven eight years ago and there's like two minutes left in the game and we were down like 10 or something like that and it was like fourth and 20 and pits i don't even know how he how he made the play ends up getting a first down like they rode pits in that whole fourth quarter to come back i i think it was against georgia might have been the lsu i don't know i just remember there are seasons where there are certain players on florida where i'll watch florida when they're not playing georgia if florida's good man cow pit the years cow pitts was there especially his last year i was just like this guy he ran a four three 40 at tight end

Bro, he's like 6, 6, like 260 pounds. 4.3. All right. Number 28, Cleveland Browns, 29, New York Jets, 30 Pittsburgh Steelers. I haven't made it this far, 31 Miami Dolphins. I'm not going to read the dolphins, but, man, that pains me. It's rough.

They need two aback. That's the problem. And then dead last, the Arizona Cardinals. Damn. I don't know. how they have the Raiders over the Falcons or the Cardinals, bro. Like, I don't, I don't get that, bro. That's that.

The Raiders are the worst team in the NFL, like the worst team. They just got our backup, Kirk Cousins, the one that. The Dolphins are projected to win two games this season. Two games. What about the Raiders? Are they even projected to win? I think so. We also got to remember.

remember we got college football coming up and so we'll just run through the top 25 real quick here coming in number one they've got indiana predicted to go 15 and oh oh ohio state number two 12 and two Georgia number three that's from last year uh the rank oh this is no that's no i'm saying not the rankings oh excuse me whatever does the record record that's what you're saying i see you're saying yeah i yeah correction not projected that's what they went last season exactly yeah Georgia 12 and two last season Texas 10 and 3 Notre Dame stop stop giving Notre Dame love Thank you thank you

Thank you Notre Dame I have best friends that are Notre Dame fans and I tell them every time I'm like noxious I'm like you guys join a comment motherfucker be a join a conference and then come talk to me Join a join a conference Go ahead no no no you're right Cam because every year they'll get right up to the very end and they'll be like,

why didn't we make it? Because you didn't play a conference game. Yeah. Like they did it to Miami this season. They're like, we should be in over Miami. And it's like, no, Miami,

Miami whooped their ass heads up, didn't they? I think so. But they won the SEC championship, though. They deserve to be in. They're a champion. I know. And Notre-

they're like, Notre Dame should be in. bunch of haters. No, Notre Dame is. Notre Dame is the most overrated team in all of sports. I bet you have a lot of sports. came out of Notre Dame, remember that. Greatest quarterback?

You. Okay. I have a feeling that Alpha was a huge Manti-Tail fan. Actually, I wasn't. Have you ever been catfish like Manti-Tay-O? Yeah, I'm going to bring that up. This dude is a Heistman front-runner, and he's getting catfish by a girl in line. Like, bro, come on.

I got him right here with me if you guys want to ask him a question. Manti-tail? What? Now you don't want to answer no questions. Whatever, right. Number six, we got Oregon.

Number seven, Miami. Let's go Keynes. Number eight, Old Miss. Number nine, Oklahoma, 10 USC.

And I'll stop there. Notables. Well, Texas, AM and Alabama are both two notables as well. Florida is not in the top 25. Shocker. We suck.

But neither. is FSU, which I love to see that. And so... Where was USC? Was it, were they on there at all? Uh, yes. USC, no, no. Uh, USC is, let me see.

Uh, no, they are not in the top 25. Unless I skipped over them. Um, no. Yeah, number 10. Excuse me, number 10. Okay. Yeah, they, and they should be. They had a pretty decent season.

last year, nine and four. They got a solid program. I like USC too. So this was absolutely epic. And the only regret I have is that J.B. is not here to see this. 138 FBS teams and narrowing it down to the process of elimination. For the first criteria on they must.

Oh, and the criteria because it missed the beginning is what, what football team has, college football team has the most miserable fans? To finish below 500 and missed a bowl game last year. No consolation prize at the end of the year. No final game. for the fans to travel to. That was just it. For the next criteria, they must have a head coach that's on the hot seat or near the hot seat headed into this season, a guy that is not performing

well enough, and yet the administration didn't pull the trigger and fire him, so they're just kind of in limbo this year. For the next criteria, they must be on a losing street versus their rival. I'm talking multiple losses in a row versus the team. They would love to beat any given season, and so even when you're losing a lot of games, if you can beat your rival, it can cure that, and these teams don't have that. For the next criteria, they must be top 40 in the country an annual investment, meaning they're investing a lot of money, and it is just not translating to success, and that leaves us with these four schools.

For the next criteria, they must have at least seven one-score losses in the last two years, just incredibly unlucky, unable to pull out those close games. And for the final criteria, they must have a proud football history. For Florida State, that leaves them as the last team standing, and the team that has the most miserable fan base right now. I think this is one that not a lot of people are going to contest. Let's go.

That hurts, bro. And they have the best No, they don't. No, they don't. I love it. As a Braves fan, yeah, bro, come on baseball season, could go from baseball season, the football season. It is the most obnoxious. They play it every two seconds.

Like, that's the thing about FSU that, like, if you're in Florida, you hate that. Because they're like, they're like, first and 10, they picked up two yards. third and 15 they got sacked for a loss third and 15 we need to motivate them they're punching the ball pick six by the other team bro no one's at the stadium the lights are off and you still hear it

I have friends that are FSU fans that are like yeah they fucking do it way too much man Like they do it way too much. I don't watch enough of their games to get annoyed by it. Yeah, that's probably why. I love it, man. I've got like one of my Marines that is still a really good friend of mine is a diehard and old fan. And his son is, he's got a, I think he's 10 or 11 now.

And he's like a really, really good football player. And whenever I'm hanging out, I'm like, you're going to be a gator, right? You're going to be a gator. And me and him his dad get into it all the time. I'm like, you watch, you watch. He's going to, LJ's going to grow up and he's going to be like, I want to play for the gators and give him shit all the time because he ain't going to want to go be a loser at Florida state they suck so you want you wouldn't want to win a national championship we ain't going

anytime soon either but maybe it'll be a hurricane I don't know that'd be cool all right so we got some we got some chain rule changes in college football and I did not know this so check this out you're going to want to watch this little tweaks in college football heading into the 2026 college football season don't worry about it Kirby I did some reading so the audience doesn't half to. Here we go. Targeting in the second half no longer carries over into your next game. Thank God. I love that. You're a first time offender. So smoke Monday, you're still going to be sitting out in every second half, every first half of every football game you've ever played. So your second offense of this in the second half, you will get suspended for the first

half of your next football game upon further review. So your football team does have an option to send it into the league office and get it under review. So there is that. Offensive pass interference. How many yards did offensive pass and appearance used to count for? I guessed five pre-show. You did. As you, as did you. Hey, chat, how many yards did offensive pass interference get counted off

against you in previous years of college football? I'll wait. 15. The answer was 15 yards. Now it's only 10. I don't know why. I have no idea why, but I guess they felt the need to change that rule. Personal fouls, they've changed this

rule. The number one first down celebration will now get you 15 yards. That's nuts. No, 15 yards. No sliming, no sniffing the nose. No, no, none of that. You can't do it. Your 15-yard penalty automatically.

Carson Bex is shambles right about now. He got out just in time. You know what else you can't do? Shout out to Dylan Stewart. You cannot brandish a weapon. You can no longer brandish a weapon. What they didn't show was whether or not you can pull up the jersey and let up I know you packing heat.

I didn't see that one. Two replay challenges per game. If you go one for two, you get a third. Okay. But you have to have at least one timeout left because if you don't get the challenge, they charge you a timeout. So the big one is the celebration, which I think that's going to get changed next season quickly.

Yeah, there's going to be so many penalties for that. It's going to be. So my bold prediction for this season is it's going to get bad, like to where people are screaming each other on the sideline like a quarterback's running up to a wide receiver because he celebrated and got him a penalty people are going to get in fights over it just because for the for their entire careers first down spin the ball first down that yep score touchdown yeah these kids these kids are not going to think about that when they're the adrenaline's pumping it's a bad idea well especially if you're on a roll even if you

do think about it you can be like fuck it they ain't taking that from me because that's It has to do with momentum. Well, imagine if you're up like 21 points and, you know, it's a nothing score at that point. You'll do it anyways. Yeah. And just take the penalty. The other one, the, the targeting in a second half, not carrying over to the next game. I like that.

The only problem that I could see arising from that is guys that target at the end of a game. On purpose? On purpose. Yeah. Yeah. That's the only thing you could see at the end there. But then they were smart, though, and it's only if you don't have a targeting penalty previously in a previous game. So they're actually smart there so you could get away with it one time.

I don't think anybody would actually do that. Like you'd have to be really frustrated with the other team to do that. But, you know, that's kind of like in baseball, you know, like you don't, you know, flex your home runs. The next guy's going to get one to the head. Like it's kind of like those rules. But yeah. I like the only top real quick. I like what CloudToper said in the chat.

easier to cheat gambling throw a game for excitement i didn't even think about that the more penalties someone just celebrates they got money on the game yep the offensive pass interference from 15 to 10 yards i don't think that's a game changer if it would have been 15 to 5 yeah yeah sure but from 15 to 10 i don't think that'll do enough but it will you will find guys now that like if if they're burned or or if you know if the the routes like off or whatever you'll see more receivers take somebody out a defensive back out just to avoid the pick at that point you saw what ashton no click on it i can see what it says at the bottom uh i think i narcan on scene yeah we we talked about that on the show on daily that uh penitieri had uh overdose they're saying it was overdose related

of course it was yeah she uh she's she's uh she has some allegations out there about her her past Paul Walker explodes in a car crash What's the other one And Hersch and Hersh literally got up on the Chester Gettington The guy from Chris Cornell It's funny how all that works out man WMBA highlights

So nothing like little WMBA action to unwind on Sunday night. 10 seconds left. Reese first clock. The dream they have a chance to win. Airball. Reese! With their life on the line, Rick!

Another rebound for Rick! So there are many things to dissect on this play. So you have Cunningham on Ryan Howard here. Howard's going to champ right to get her separation. Cunningham almost tripped over her ankles. And then you're going to get a shot that's going to miss by about 30 feet. Reese is going to get the offensive rebound. She's going to have a layup to win the game.

Three seconds left. Tie game. What do you know, Reese? Shits down her leg. And then this right here is the worst part of the video. How do you miss this? This is a walk in the park. Point six seconds left.

And you take a wet, soggy shit down your leg and you lose it overtime. And all clock can do is, fucking smile in the background. She can't believe it either. Nobody should take the WMBA seriously, man. What a joke. I got to see if I can find the highlights from the All-Star game. The only thing more embarrassing than that is pull up my screen, bro.

Terrence Williams puts out, Shake Shack employee robs his own store at gunpoint, then returns to work two days later. Kianre Simmons, 33, called out sick. Came back masked with a semi-automatic handgun, locked a coworker in the cooler, forced the manager to open the safe for $2,800 and destroyed the phones. Co-workers recognized his voice and his build. He showed up for his next shift and was arrested in the pocket lot.

Jeez. We used to call that job security, bro. We used to call that job security. All right. Wait, real quick. Oh, no, go ahead, go ahead. I got two quick baseball highlights. This one here, Brandon Young, what a play.

Broken bat and it's kicked right into the bare hand of Brandon Young and kicked it right into his hand. It was unreal. Broken bat and it's kicked right into the bare hand. Insane. He played soccer as a kid. Insane. That was too natural. And then this, of course, is what everybody's talking about.

This has a big leaguer for the first time. Swing and high. This is first game, came up, called up from AAA, first game with the cards. And this is what he does. I belted the show that Cardinal dug out. It is not supposed to be that easy. Unreal. This is the energy.

This is the excitement. This is the thump that the Cardinals have been. waiting for this is the future we're getting the chance to see it here what a swing of the better that's sick literally his first pitch in the game have you not seen this highlight i don't get it down the line did he do it again that ball is gone we've got two homers from oh and two to a full count and then the grand tour four three cardinals what a moment he didn't see fastballs in this one it was nothing but off speed the home run was on the change up down three two this dude is bringing some life to this offense swing drive well hit right so suke

a guy you're fucking with this bro no it's not AI that guy is not a human he's the first hybrid we've seen publicly you're fucking with this this is this is this is can come making an AI argument. This is Nephilim DNA. This a long time and have seen so many special things and so many first, but an opportunity here with Joshua Baez to see history, the first ever player to Homer in three straight plate appearances to begin his major league career. How about boy?

Retire right there. How about the pitcher, bro? There have been in the history of major league baseball, there have been, over 200,000 games played. It's never happened before. That's wild. Never had a guy, his first three-plated appearances homered in the history of anybody homered three times in a row.

Yeah, yeah, there's been back-to-back-to-backs. Yeah, I've seen it. It's not very rare. Yeah, it's very rare. But yeah, I'd be very curious how many times that's happened. Well, so they're back-to-back-to-back, I should clarify, as three guys in consecutive spots in the line. No, no, I'm talking about.

about the same player, bro. Yeah, that's happened a few times. Hold on. I'll pull it up. That's wild. Homered in three consecutive at bats. It's a short list. It's going to be a short list. I would imagine.

I didn't think Reggie Jackson. It says based on the contents, there are three documented instances of players hitting home runs in three consecutive at bats. Though the specific players for the non-Reggie Jackson instances are not fully named in the provided text. This is AI. Reggie Jackson did it. And then game six of the 77 World Series, each of the home runs was the first pitch he saw in those at bats.

Three pitches, three home runs. That's impressive. And then two unnamed players, it says it doesn't list them out. And then most three runs games, home run games, not back to back. Mookie Betz has, he's a tie. he's done it several times. I don't know. This is a rabbit hole to go down here.

But yeah, so it's happened many times, but it's never been your first three at bats of a season of a career, I should say, in the majors. That's, dude, beast mode, bro. Yeah. Yeah. So that first one he hit,

you see the look on his face? He was just like, yeah. He was happy already. He was happy. He was the home run leader in AAA though. So it's not like this guy was like a, you know, a fluke. Like he was the home run leader in AAA in the in the minors. So yeah.

Joshua Bayez insane, insane, never been happened, never happened before. So, all right, what do you got, Cam? I don't even want to play mine anymore. It was, it was, it's funny. It's a minute of the WNBA All-Star game. highlights from brick city i'll pull it up why not you could pull it pull it up i think we we played that on this show you weren't here but you we could play it again okay no no we'll play it again it's worth i got you i'll just put it put it in there um i put it at

1.25 speed because it's no don't don't don't put it at 1.25 no because it makes it look faster than it is you want everyone to see how slow they need the full effect how awful this is all right i'll even turn it down so we can comment it's the i mean she just decided like let me shoot from the half, half court. This one's great. Like nobody, you're almost hell over. Nobody trailing to,

to put it in off the glass. Nobody on the court could get up high enough to put it in off the glass. Just whatever. Day Theater, Dave, is this what the men's leagues look like in your part of California? Or are they even better than this?

I want to know in the chat. That's so sad, bro. I'm with, I'm with Clay, Travis. you could take a state championship high school team and put them up against the WMBA All-Stars, and they would crush them. Yes. It would crush them.

I'll give you this, eighth grade, eighth grade collection of like the McDonald's All-Americans for eighth grade. I bet they could feed them. Yeah, I would say yes. Probably. Yeah. Also, eighth graders now are like six foot six. That was my point, though. It's like men, boys, sorry, boys at 14.

years old 13 14 years old could beat these grown women in basketball. Clay Travis also said I'll buy a team call them the Nashville balls and and put nothing but trans men on the team or trans women on the team and he said not only will we win every single game there will be games when they won't score a single point. You got to include the free throw stipulation in there, but they won't score single point. I bet you they could win a team full of trans women, especially guys like Royce White and as canter, even if Rodman comes back, which they're

joking about. Oh my God. They could beat them three on five. Yeah. They could beat them three on five. Yeah. You really just need one person to guard the paint and then just be in the general vicinity on the outside. Just to contest the shot. You don't have to block it. They're not making anything.

And people forget that their ball is smaller too. I don't know what? Yeah, the ball is So imagine these grown men. People don't even think about that. Men and women's sports. I can palm a woman's basketball. Same size hoop,

but a smaller ball. Exactly, Alpha. Exactly. Think about that. And they're missing these shots. Damn. Yeah, people don't realize that.

A man playing a woman's sport has a complete advantage when it comes to gripping the ball, the basketball. And that's an advantage in men's basketball. Like, the bigger your hands are. I went to look up my,

so I have, you guys are, each one of you guys is a, player on my baseball team. So I went to go look up the the stats. I wanted to I wanted to see where can you're my pitcher cam just so you know you're one of you're one of my pictures. Cam or can can cam cam cam. Cam. Me? Yeah, Cam, Cam, I have you. I ain't no catcher. No, no, no. One of my one of my boys that I grew up with boomer. Yeah, dude, it's just linebacker. Just stud, right? He's he's my catcher. I have a Cancona shortstop. Nice. So I got I got J. Treyed out in left field.

I got J.B. at third base. Good shit. That's what you do. That's what you do on the men's softball team. Shortstop's your best player and third base is the old timer that's still got some skills, but it doesn't have, you know, whatever. Yeah, it's you move them, you move them from short to third and eventually third to first. I'm trying to make it see if it'll make it. Let me make it big so I can show you guys can't come's face, but I'm so confused as to what you're talking about. Like I understand the concept. Oh, it's in here. It's this game.

It's called baseball nine on my phone. Never heard of that. Oh, it's fun, man. How do you have time to find to play baseball on your phone? I already did like three at batts while we're doing the show. Oh, oh. So that's what that's what you're doing. So you're not giving us your full allow.

Okay. Yeah, I'm looking for videos and you're over here playing baseball. Right. Right. I'm just playing. Kind of. I know you're not. Show us your audit logs.

We want to audit your phone. To go to what we're talking about earlier with when Cam was like, you reminded me of this. I was like, I got one saving me. I was bringing up when he was just like, I forget you're going to get something off with the dolly or something. And you're just like, I got to think leverage. Yeah. Leverage, right? can come

bring up my screen let me play this this is kids nowadays you want to be bad just

yeah oh yep I sat down on the oh my hell dude

now you dead bro yeah yep he was all fired up he's like yeah

Yeah, I said. No. I died. That is facts. Oh, man. All right. So I want to play this clip. I think we might have had a discussion similar to this before.

But again, we will emphasize this for all the women that are listening. And it's one of those like real conversations and they mock it up with cartoons. So don't ask me. me to explain what is going on in this cartoon. Oh, I remember this one. I saw this one. Handcuffed to the bed, I guess, but.

What is your greatest fear or your worst nightmare? Being in the water with a great white shark. I can't do it. Keeps me up at night. You don't even go in the ocean, so. Exactly. That shouldn't be a problem. What's your worst fear?

So first and foremost, right there, giving a shot out to my boy Alpha down there. What's your greatest fear? being in the water with a great white shark. I'm a survivor. Alpha may find in the water with a white shark, nothing great about it, but, you know, it is what it is.

Shark, shark survivor. Shark attack survivor. Shark survivor. I'm not going to say shark attack survivor. Shark survivor. Shark survivor. Okay, let's keep going. My worst fear is that somehow in some situation will be in public,

you and I, and then I'll see something that's dangerous. and I'll say, Jen, get in the car. But then you'll have to know why. So instead of just listening to me and getting in the car, and so we can drive away from the potentially very dangerous situation, you have to know why you're telling you to get in the car. And even though I'm talking to you in an emergency situation, in an emergency voice and an emergency tone,

I'm saying, Jen, just get in the car. And you won't do it because you have to know why. And then we both just end up in a very terrible place, because all we had to do was get in the car, but I had to explain to you why we had to get into the car. I had to point out the King Kong or the dinosaur or the person that was trying to harm us in some certain way before you get in the car. Well, in my defense, if you're saying, Jen, get in the car. Are you saying, Jen, get in the car because you're annoyed with me? Are you saying, yeah, that's the problem.

Because I'm hot. Are you saying, Jen, get in the car, because you want coffee? See, this is the problem. Or are you saying, can get in the car because, I don't know, it's so much. trying to kidnap me. How about just get in the car? You have to tell me why. No, I don't.

Jen, get in the car because we're in a dangerous situation. But then you have to tell me, like, how dangerous? Like, do I need to sprint to the car or do I need to trot or do I need to look and see is danger? Is it, is it above me? Is it next to me? So you have to say why in a very quick. No, we don't have time for that because we're, let me, let me act this out for you. Okay?

Ready? Yes. Jen, get in the car. Why? We're dead. Why are we dead? Because you didn't get in the car. But how do I know that there was something?

It doesn't matter. We're dead. Because you didn't get in the car. Who dead did us? It doesn't matter. We're dead. Perfect. Perfect.

You might want to put a disclaimer for this next one. I got some great ones lined up, bro. Oh, God. I'll just enjoy. How the difference between an Indian and an Arab? One is responsible for 7-11 and other one is responsible for 9-11. Do you even know? That wasn't that bad.

That was not at all. That one's that joke has been around since 9-11. Cam? What's up? I apologize in advance. Oh, no. Do you think God is black? He must be because everyone calls him father.

no one's seen him. Which is funny because out of all three of us, I think Cam is the only one whose parents are still Oh man. That's fantastic. I love that. I definitely, I know who my dad is, but my parents

in fact, I think my dad's on his, I think he just split up. But Alfa, are your parents still married? No, no, they're not. You want to bring this up, though? No apologies, Cam. No apologies. Oh, that's mine. That's

Oh shit. You might as well roll with it. All right. Here we go. The difference between a black chick from the 1800s and a black chick from today. Uh-oh. Um, the type of lashes they get. Oh.

Oh, my God. Oh. Oh. I think the, I think the accent. made it even worse, man. That was savage. That was bad. That was bad.

Oh, man. That needed a disclaimer. You're lucky JD's not here for that one. He'd be rolling. That would be a disclaimer. Rolling on the floor laughing. Oh, sweet Jesus. All right, you can pull my up now.

Cam, you got two bangers. I don't know how you're going to follow that up, bro. With something ridiculous. And hanging freely, then a woman make you just you got to read it all right it says life is like a penis simple soft straight relaxed and hanging freely then a woman makes it hard amen all right spot on yeah and that's a perfect setup for this one right here bring this one oh man can ask you a question sure i've seen this one who is preaching men or woman man why

You know what? I'll show you. No, you try. Oh, when I saw that, I saw that like a month or so ago, when I saw that I was just like, bro. Bro, that is fucking savage. It was so good. That is, that was savage right there. Oh my God.

Should definitely try that one. Love it. Wow. You can pull mine up on the screen. The dog really wants to address the elephant in the room. Oh, geez. So I immediately laughed at this and then I was like,

wait, they probably adopted that baby. They probably could have adopted the baby. Yeah, but the dog doesn't know that. The dog is like, bro, bro, that ain't yours. Um, this one's, this video is pretty good.

Um, this is liberal. logic right here. This woman, look, I'm not going to judge based on the hair color because obviously my wife, but I think based on the car, I'm going to judge. Still funny. She's like pulling on the car. Like, stop, stop. Like, just get in. Get in. Use that effort to get into the car. People, this is why we want you to get out and exercise at least a little bit. go out walking because that car was going so slow.

Just get into the car. Hit the break. You're not going to stop it with physical strength. And even if you did, what are you going to do when you get tired? That car does not get tired. Jackie said she has Florida plates. Just looking at the scenery, like, so as a Floridian, you look, that's a sable palm right there. that's a sable palm this is cocoa or viburnum right here or cocoa plum one or the other um that's that's a that's a

a fox tail palm right there like you're just looking and if you know landscaping you're like yeah this is this is definitely florida this is absolutely florida in fact this is central to south florida yeah um and and uh yeah just go back go back to the beginning how is your car that's alpha's got the question ask it alpha But that's my question. We don't know. How is her car have enough, especially that car, have enough horsepower to get over the curb when it's in drive and no one's pushing the gas pedal.

Well, Cam, Cam's wondering how it got there in the first place. Yeah, why is it turned that direction in the middle of the road is why I'm trying to I think she's been chasing it for a while, bro. But where did it start? So let's pretend here. Let's pretend and draw up the scenarios that led to this. Okay. I'll go for,

mine's probably going to be the same as y'alls. So I'll go first. I'll go first. So my first thought was parking lot on the other side. Like literally, so there's that median. And then on the other side of the picture, there's maybe another shopping center or whatever.

She had our car facing that way. She, I don't know why, but she uh she got out of she parked she like parked her car got out without putting it out of drive and it started taken off mine she got in the car she's leaving the plaza that she's in she's getting ready to turn out but she's on her phone like probably on what's the what's the liberal ex called blue blue sky she's on blue sky like i just own some trump supporter and the car behind her is like laying on the horn and she's like oh, well, if this motherfucker's going to lay on the horn, then I'm just going to sit here.

And so the guy keeps laying on the horn. And so the guy was like, finally like, you know what? If she won't move, I'm just going to give her a little love tap and let her know that I'm going to whatever. And she's like, oh, really, this motherfucker wants to hit me. And she gets out of her car with her phone in hand, like ready to record it all, but she forgot to put it in gear. And so as she's yelling at this guy, she realizes, oh, shit, the car's not in gear and goes running after it. That's how it happened. I like your theory better than mine.

I don't know how realistic it is, but I love that. That's sign off on both. It's one of those. I was like, I don't care. It's one of those, man. It's just, oh, I don't know how that happens,

but it happened. It happened. The reason I think it's probably more related to an intersection is because if she wasn't a parking lot, then chances are, before that car can pick up momentum to keep rolling, it's going to hit, you know, parking block or the curb at its very, very low speed.

So I think it actually probably is related to, you know, something like what you're talking about, CanCon or, you know, she's at Starbucks getting a liberal drink and she can't reach. She can't reach to pay. So she opens the door to get out to pay. But since she's in a drive-through, it's still in gear. so she gets up to pay

when they're like, man, your car, your car. And we see everything else that happens. What if she was doing that TikTok trend where you get out of the car and like your passenger like films you like as you're, but she didn't have a passenger because she's a smelly, smelly cat lady, liberal liberal cat lady. So she doesn't actually have friends except for her cat.

She identified as having a passenger. Well, the cat was the passenger. And so, so Felix, the cat is in the passenger seat of that car. And she's thinking, he's he's filming and so she gets out to do her dance and then she's like shit i can't get back in the car i don't know could go anyway so ladies if if your boyfriend or your husband's ex ever calls you and they answer before you flip out of them and start giving them the dirty look let them cook the ending is not what you might expect why's my ex calling me man

Hello? Oh my god, think somebody in my house. What? I think somebody in the house. How you know? Because I can hear their footsteps. Calm down. Calm down. Where are you at?

I'm in my room. I'm scared. Alright, look, look. Get under your bed. What? Get under your bed. Get under the bed right now. Okay, okay. Are you under your bed?

Yeah, yeah. Alright, now put the phone. on the speaker so I can hear everything. Okay. I hear I'm coming up the steps. All right. Oh, my God. He in the room now?

Oh, my God. Yes, he's in here. She under the bed! That fuck is under the bed! Wow. That's taken. You were about to be taken. He's under the bag.

Scream out. everything you recognize about him as he's taking you away. He said, three bitches out of the bed. I got two more videos, so if you'll pull my first one up. Gentlemen. And gentlemen in the chat,

would you ever do this to your significant other? Just watch. Shalala. Shalala la la la la. Shal la la la la. La la la la la la. Shahla la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la. would you ever do that would you ever buy that fuck yes i don't know if i do it man i don't know if i do it

the shower is a final destination man that's a dangerous place for pranks yeah well it's the most dangerous place in the house yep maybe put it maybe put it in the kitchen so if water drips no i would totally do it. My wife is still young enough that she would recover. Oh, that's horrible. Did I ever tell you guys, did I tell you guys about the time I scared the shit out of my wife? I think I have told you. So we were helping my buddy move out of the bar that he used to own. He owned this huge bar and he closed it down and Christy worked for him and he's like my best friend. And she was up in the front cleaning up and everything. And me and him were in the back moving like the bull. They had like a mechanical bull. And, uh,

It's huge and really fucking heavy. And Christy had already told us like, be careful when you're moving that. It's really heavy and sharp. And so I was like, okay. So earlier in the day, we had found fake blood behind the bar. And we're like, why is there fake blood in a bar? And I was like, oh, shit, Hunter, play along with me. And I take the fake blood and I put it all down my arm.

And I'm grabbing my arm. And I go running out. And I go, I go to Christy in the front. I go, go get the car. Go get the car. And by the way, this goes to the earlier video. She reacted instantly and ran straight out to the car. And, yeah, and then my buddy, so I would have been fine.

Like, I would have been like, you know, whatever. I would have, before she made it outside, I would have called her back. My buddy comes running out behind me. He hit an artery. He's going to die and like screaming like in full panic mode. And Christy like as soon as she made it out, I grabbed her. I was like, hey, get back in here. And she was like bawling out crying.

Yeah. That was cool, bro. That was a dick move. That's cruel. I didn't. I didn't. It was a test. It was a test to see if she's actually going to live up to the first video we played where you, you know, you say get in the car. Why? Don't ask why. Just do it. She did it.

But now she's going to be wondering if it's just a prank or if it's reality. Like, I know what he's doing to me. I also have to talk very quiet because she's in the next room getting ready for her show and she's probably going to give me shit about that. So Christy don't watch the part before. Oh, wait, it's too late now. All right. Before you go ahead and go with yours. You can leave that up there while. us talking if you want. All right. So before you do bring up mine, I just want to set up the context. So go ahead. Go ahead, Cam. All right. So Jackie actually sent me this one. I don't know what she, if she's testing

me on this or whatever, but I think I think it's up anyway. But it says, it's so massive, I didn't notice that Joe fucking Flacco is in the background. Well, why did you tell us? Because I'll explain. Not Joe Flacco. No, it's not. That's not Joe Flacco.

That's not Joe Flacco. All right. You took it off the screen. I was trying to do it. We'll make it full screen if you're going to do that. I had it full screen. And now, okay, there you go. I don't get it because it's not Joe Flacco.

I didn't get it either. The whole point is the point. It took me a minute. I think that's the point. Yeah. But somebody in the background, or not in the background, in the comments, literally,

you don't have to pull it. Oh, you can't if you. No, you're good. Someone in the comments said, he said obviously you did notice because you said it was Joe Flacco. He's like, what the fuck is this caption? So this this question that that's about to get asked in. Is this a savage from earlier, the same lady?

It is actually. I thought so. It is. This is a question that has gone weaponized against man for all time. and I've never heard this answer before. This, this fellas, get your notepads out.

Ladies, this, this woman's probably become public enemy number one to every woman in existence. Oh boy. She sleeps with five guys. She's a h-h-ha-but if a guy sleeps with 50 girls, he's a legend.

Why is that? Well, think about it. If a lock can be opened by five different keys, it's a terrible lock. But if one key can open 50 locks, that's a master key. I just died on your own

If a girl sleeps with five guys I've been saying that for years I've been saying that for a long time Before I was on this show He's been out Confucius say Man Woman

Lock That's open by many keys Shitty lock Lock that's open A key that opens many locks Master key That's Confucius All right

Check this one out Check this one out All right We got to get out of here though Same reason we women have got four lips and still can't keep quiet. Damn. I almost broke my whole microphone set up from sliding bag. I caught myself. I was not ready for that one. Oh, I got to keep that one in the back of my head.

Oh, man. Whoa. One last one. You should have ended it on that, bro. That's a mic drop. I want that. That's a mic drop, but this one just to get people in his thought, man. Just keep people on thought. right the saddest realization a man's first flowers run his feeling what's your quote on loneliness I know there's an epidemic for men's loneliness right loneliness for men is like a bridge that no one fully appreciates until it collapsed cold the so I saw your quote about men's loneliness you have another one It's like eating at a table meant for sets, but knowing it's really under the

self-frey. Is this what you want? Make all my hopes and my dreams come to life just to lay them. The day the blind man sees is the day that he throws away the stick that helped him all his life. So I've seen all of your clothes, what's another deep one? Sometimes the person you'd be willing to take your bullet for is the one... He's pulling the trigger. Cool.

Yep. The first one, the last one. The rest of them were kind of like mid, but the first one, the last one were fucking hard, man. The first time a man receives flowers is at his funeral. Yeah.

Dude, that one, it hit me so much that I was like, you know, I'm going to make sure that, you know, I'm going to buy you flowers in Vegas. No,

the next celebration for my son. You know what? I'm going to take care. I'm giving some money. I'm going to give him some money. I'm going to give him some flowers. That ain't going to be the case for my son, man. Yeah.

That's crazy. That's something I've never thought about. And you know what? You know what the crazy part is? Your son will be like, why are you giving me flowers? And then you tell them. Yeah. Because this is the only time in your life that you'll receive flowers that you actually know you're receiving flowers.

And then you'll always remember it's from me. This is the first time you're going to get to, this is probably the first and last time. You're going to get flowers where they're handed to you. Yeah. Damn. Damn. And the, uh, that, that one hit me for a few days, bro. Yeah.

That's fucking crazy. You know, you know, it's crazy that ruins that for some people, um, is, uh, you in the Rose Bowl. Yeah. You're talking about 50 guys a year. Exactly. But that's a point. That's the point. They're the only guys that get a flat.

And they don't, and they don't even get flowers. They get one flower. I will, I will say, like, in high school, we had, like, a flower gram. And I think a girl got me flowers one time. But it's crazy that we have to think about when we, when we had gotten flowers. Like, for women, it's like, oh, it's a Tuesday, you know, my birthday, um, wedding anniversary. I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't buy, I don't buy my wife, like, flowers. I have, but I don't, like, normally do it.

Usually I buy her orchids, because I think they're better. First off, I think they're way prettier than flowers. And they'll last, not very long, but they'll last more than a week, you know. And so I don't know if she's appreciative of that or not, but that's why I do it. So it's something that you have that looks good for. And some of them, she's got one that's still alive from Valentine's Day. Yeah. Make sure you give people their flowers while they're here.
