We have a massive week of NFL football coming up.
Before we get there, here are the week five standings.
The records from last week,
the records for the season total going on right now,
Delaney, we'll get some answers from Delaney
because he's been at the top of the mountain, apparently.
For the NFL slate this week,
we got Dallas at Carolina, Seattle,
Jacksonville, Detroit, Kansas City,
Buffalo and Atlanta, Chicago and Washington, San Francisco at Tampa Bay.
Boys and Ball Comeratery, the Lockroom, we are here.
Let's have a show.
This is an I-Heart podcast.
Guaranteed Human.
Hey, guys, it's us.
The Jonas Brothers.
I'm Joe.
I'm Kevin.
And I'm Nick.
And guess what?
We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas.
We invented a podcast?
Well, we didn't invent it.
We just contributed to it.
We're the first people to do podcasts.
We get to ask other people questions,
we're sick and tired of being asked questions.
Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it,
but, you know, tired and sick.
Tired and sick.
Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcast.
Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.
Will Ferrell's Big Money Players
and IHeart Podcast presents soccer moms.
So I'm Leanne.
Yeah.
This is my best friend, Janet.
Hey.
And we have been joined at the hips since high school.
Absolutely.
A redacted amount of years later,
we're still joined at the hip.
Just a little bit bigger hips.
This is a podcast where recording it is
We tailgate our youth soccer games in the back of my Honda Odyssey.
With all the snacks and drinks.
Why did you get hard seltzer instead of beer?
Oh, they had a bogo.
Well, then you got it.
Listen to soccer moms on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, I'm Deanna Maria Riva, and on my new podcast, How Hard Can It Be?
I call on my Gen X squad from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate Midlife's most fantastic BS.
Unfiltered conversations from night sweats to futas to scheduling sacks.
Wait, what sex?
Is it just me?
Or does every woman my age
want to look at Pinterest
instead of having sex sometimes?
They say we can't polish a turd,
but we're sure going to try.
So let's get blunt with laughs, tears,
or tears of laughter.
Listen to How Hard Can It Be
with Gianna Maria Riva
on the IHeart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, the locker room is presented by it.
It's presented by it?

Parlay at Jared Golf anytime touchdown score.
The over in his passing yards and the Lions win.
I think the Chiefs walk away with the W.
Parlay the Kansas City Chiefs win with the over on Worthy's Receiving Yards and the over on Patrick Mahomes touchdowns.

Now, hold on here.
What you're looking for?
I'm looking for the thing that says that the boys are two and O in the last two weeks
in our parlayas.
No.
Thursday night football parlayes.
Buddy, buddy.
I mean, you got to give a lot of credit to clump out there.
He's over there cooking a lot of the times.
We have our inputs here and there, but Clumpy, got to give you some credit, man.
It's been unbelievable.
Thursday night football.
The boys will be streaming the Thursday night matchup this week.
So check that out.
Again, tune on the last two weeks with our parlayes.
The one last week hit in the first half.
First half.
It was a full game parlay, and it only took 30 minutes.
Yes.
A lot of guys want to play for 60.
We decided to play for 30.
Now the next question we have, Delaney Walker.
What up?
I've been at the top.
I've been at the bottom.
Now I'm at the top.
My shoes are glues.
Look at here, man.
This is football.
I'm saying if I got to tell you how football works then you in the wrong sport
shit happens every Sunday it's ups and downs you know what I mean you never know
what's going to happen and I've been picking the best teams possible but they've
been going out there coaching has let me down oh it's been coaching okay it's been
coaching it's been coaching key players right they're not calling not going for
twos missing field goals when they should just run the ball in the end zone man let's
let's do that easy yeah just get seven instead of free
So you get it.
Yes.
So look.
Score more points and another team.
Look.
It looks bad right now.
It looks really bad.
It looks bad.
But if y'all watched the show prior years,
y'all know I'd never fall short of being a champion.
All right.
Here's what worries me for you.
Great speech.
Any given Sunday.
Monday afternoon, I sat there and I was talking to the boys.
You were 0 in 5 before the Chiefs Jaguar's game.
And I thought to myself, the best thing for Delaney is for the Chiefs to win.
Because if you go to 0 and 6, that's rock bottom, you can only go up from there.
No.
You're a guy that's got to hit rock bottom before he gets back up to the top.
No, one in five, I've been there before.
I need you at your base camp.
Listen, one in five, I've been there before and still went to the playoffs.
Positive news, you fade Delaney, you're up.
True.
You fade Delaney, you were five and one.
That's a good, that's a good.
So there's different ways to spend this.
Y'all should go against every bet I choose so y'all can fade me.
I'm just talking about the, there's commenters out there.
mentors out there Delaney don't know what he's talking about great they never they never say that out there about me that comes from willie will mouth
all my burners yeah my burners they don't talk about the meal like that they know the meal go get
where's where's the 18th best gambler in Nashville you know man he got arrested man no shit what happened
feds ran oh my god I can't speak on it that's what happened this past week I don't know when he got I can't speak on it
Right. Yeah, it's still an ongoing case.
But you see, my man got locked up and you saw everything start going down.
So what do you go now? Do you have like the 17th to the 19th best gambler?
You know, I'm been making calls, man, you know, trying to reach out to some plugs and see which guys I can trust.
You know what I mean? Make sure they ain't running no illegal.
Right. Yeah, yeah. Can't have that. We do everything by the book here.
Yeah, we do everything by the book.
No doubt. Can we talk about the biggest headline coming out of the weekend?
Go ahead.
how'd the championship game go.
Flag football, Clay Matthews.
Boys, we, we lost.
Oh, no.
Did you make it to the championship?
Yeah, we made it.
You lost?
A, Thursday, we had an incredible practice.
Incredible.
It felt so good.
We went in there Saturday in the semis, spanked them.
It was a quote.
We played a team.
We had played earlier in the season.
We only won 2720.
Coaches made some adjustments.
Players showed up.
Huge stops on defense. Everyone played.
Felt great going into the championship.
Championship. Get there a little early.
This other team, we split the series one-in-one.
Really well-coached team.
Hey, we're up by six with 12 seconds left.
All we got to do is pull the flag.
Clock's going to run out.
Coach his son, he runs it in.
We miss about seven flags.
They score so it's tied up.
We give up the extra point as well,
and they pretty much hit a walk off, you know,
extra point to win the game. So we lost by one point. Parents thrown in the field. Parents,
you know, they're happy when they beat me because, you know, we've kind of been having some success,
no doubt about it, you know what I'm saying? But, man, I'll tell you the worst part. So just little
kids going by. Yeah, right, hitting the gritty on me and stuff. So after the game, too, like,
you know, this is probably the first year where I feel like the kids are at the age, the kindergarten
level, six years. But it's true. Where, where we, where we,
We play to win and the kids understand like you put in the work like, you know, that there's
a payoff.
And so they were so distraught after the game.
I get down on, I was just telling Mitch, I got down on I need to talk to him.
Bro, I start getting emotional in front of them.
I start tearing up and stuff.
And like, we were like, oh, it's just kidding.
I'm like, boy, it means so much to them and it meant something to me.
Well, I was pissed that we lost, but I started getting emotional.
And man, we just came up short, but we're going to be back next year.
Hey, but hey, the worst part though, not everyone got to play in the championship.
game judgment call i made a decision that we're going to go get it my email who right now i'm
being with a lot of moms out there who want my head so not only did we lose i got to deal with
that i got to look at my son he's looking at me just rolling his eyes like i didn't do enough well he
he didn't play oh yeah no my son you know his son he made a judgment call and said oh the
game was tight he knew all of his best of what he thought was my son who's
though. I'm sorry? I thought it was rules that everyone had to play. Everyone has to step on the field.
Not everyone has to play. And I, listen, I probably could have managed expectations better.
I know at the beginning of the year, the first thing I said is, you know, when you bring everybody up, like, hey, we're here to have fun. We're here to, I say, we're here to win.
And how we win, we're going to have fun. We're going to be attentive. We're going to practice. We're going to work hard.
But I think, you know, some parents on top of the loss and seeing, and as a parent, I understand, you know, some of these kids didn't play.
So now I'm kind of taking my lumps as well, not only with the loss, but with parents.
So right now, public enemy number.
They ain't called for a coaching change because they know, hey, we're on the up and up.
But, you know, we might, we might have to, you know.
Cut a call.
Well, they pay to.
They pay, right?
Well, yeah, they pay to play.
Yeah, so.
Pay to play.
I want my kid to play.
I don't know.
No way to play.
No, no, they pay.
They pay for many.
They pay for many.
I mean, you know, we put our kids in sports for many reasons to develop them, to grow.
And they absolutely get that.
But we're talking the championship game.
I'm going for it.
I'm trying to win for the team.
You know what I'm saying?
So I'm curious if I can ask you guys, do we feel good if we play everybody but we get our asses kicked?
Or do we try and go for it, try and win, be unapologetically competitive, and we fall short.
But not everybody plays.
So I'm going for the dub.
But did you tell the parents this?
See, that should have been a meeting you should have had with the parents a day before the game.
But how many occasions key?
It's key.
Yeah, I agree.
That's what I'm saying.
Perhaps I could have managed expectations better.
But, you know, at the beginning of the year when I said, hey, this is what we're doing.
And, you know, we're a good enough team to where we had some close games.
We had some big wins.
Everybody plays, even if some play more than others.
But in the championship game, it was back and forth all game.
And there was just, there was no time for that.
So, I mean, like I said, I apologize to these parents.
because from a, you know, a parent's perspective,
I understand where they're coming from,
but I hope they understand where I'm coming from.
And then we can agree to disagree on,
what's the right age to go for it?
What's the right age to teach the kids?
It's about winning.
We're not in this to participate.
This is a meritocracy.
That's how I teach my kid.
No, I'm telling you, that's how I raise my kid.
And he's all about it.
He lives it.
I was wearing a Packer sweatshirted this morning.
He's like, I'm going to play in the NFL.
Let's go.
So it's okay.
It's okay that you finish second.
You know, it's okay if we participate.
pay. So, you know, I get I can be a lot in that regard, but I don't think there's a right
or wrong answer. It's just I'm having to take my lumps right now. But I see where you come from
because how we grew up, you didn't have to play those kids that we didn't consider maybe the
most talented kids on the field, right? We didn't have to play them. They was like, yeah, they knew they
knew. Like, long as we win, I could say I was champ. Like, they didn't care. But nowadays,
this new generation, they like, my kid, I don't care how sorry my kid is. He needs to be
in the game, you know what I mean?
Even though you're going to cost as a championship.
But listen, they, the reality is like, I got them in all these players as much as possible,
but I do understand when you're coming over to the sideline after every touchdown or defensive
stop, whatever it may be.
And they're, you know, their parents are like, just wait your turn, just keep cheering.
Like, I get it.
From a parent's perspective, I get it.
I completely understand.
But all bets are off in the championship.
We're going for it.
We're trying to win this thing.
Everybody's in.
And we all got amazing NFL coaching, you know, expertise.
I'm just saying it's the reality of it.
Like these other, their parents volunteering.
And I'm out there up until midnight creating new plays missing Thursday streams
because, hey, the kids got to put together a new game playing.
Yeah.
We were okay with it because you were going for a championship.
But since I didn't.
Or results-based program.
And also it's like, you know, yeah, you're paying for your kids to play, but you're paying for growth.
Is you a young man?
Is he a better young man after the season?
Sometimes the growth, it ain't a straight line.
They're never a straight line.
And this is what I'm going to be told no.
They're all hitting me that they're disappointed that, you know,
their son or daughter didn't get to play because of, you know,
development should be more important.
Well, we're developing in practice.
We're developing.
You may not be getting all the game reps, but shoot, when I was a kid,
my dad didn't play me, like if I wasn't deserving of playing.
So I know people are going to look, oh, you're too cutthroat.
They're just kindergartners.
But tell me then when the right age is to where we start playing to win
and we invest in it
and we're not just out there to have
participation trophies. I mean, I played
tag football at eight years old.
Same here. They was like, you're not good enough.
Simple on the side. I mean, not me,
but.
No way, Delaney.
Two things I think
we're going to just coach your result.
Obviously, you just tell the parents before,
listen, this is the championship game.
Not everybody, and bring up all the parents.
Good parents and the bad parents. Can I interject you
real quick? Okay.
When we play the semi-final,
final game, I had the same mentality. My dogs are going to go, we're going to go get this.
We played very well, scored 40 points, they scored 20. I was able to get all my kids in there.
So it's not like these kids didn't play the entire year. Like they got playing time, just not as much.
It's just the championship game. I think you add a loss on top of a group mentality because
there's about four kids who didn't play. And then it, you know, it's, it falls back on me.
So I'm sorry to, sorry to cut you off.
No, no, I mean, I would just tell the parents, listen, the championship game, we don't know how the score is going to go.
You're right.
Push come to shove.
Like, we got to go to win the game.
Manage expectations.
Yes.
The next thing, just hearing your story that I would maybe just keep on your radar a little bit, your kid loses his championship.
A couple days later, you're in a pack or so.
He's talking about playing the NFL.
That's a perfect opportunity to go Friday night lights on and pull out your Super Bowl ring.
Listen, you got put it in work now.
Get you one of these type of eyes.
Well, it's baseball season now.
So like we're switching over that.
We're already into baseball.
We're already into baseball.
We've been in baseball.
So we're just going to keep going.
You know, as four meatheads,
we can challenge ourselves.
Like, dude, are we talking about this?
Are we, is our ego getting the way of some 60-year-olds playing?
Listen, you're absolutely right.
My wife reminds me like, hey, reminder, this isn't about you.
This is about the kids.
So yes, of course, I have to deal with that, you know.
But the reality is like, my ego wants to win.
But I also want to bestow that.
competitive nature upon my son. That doesn't make him a bad person. That's the problem nowadays.
If you go for it, if you want to be great, you know, you guys want, you know, if we, if we want to be
great, everybody looks at you like there's something wrong with you. What's wrong with you? There's
nothing wrong with me. I'm just trying to be great. And I want these kids to be great. And you know what, to the
contrary, I had dads text me, been like, this is the most amazing experience. I really love what
you're doing, the amount of time and effort you're pouring into our kids. They're growing and
developing so much. So I know there's validation there. It's just, I think this is a
is the crossroads where we decide, you know, as a parent, when you sign your kid up,
what do you want for them? And there's nothing wrong. If you want to go out there and
participate and have a good time and we use this as a playtime, then that's great. If we're
out there to try and win and maybe playtime's not going to be fair, but everybody's going to,
you know, practice is going to be tough and there's going to be expectations. I think now
is that kind of, at least for me, that's split in the road. You got to set the precedence,
Clay. I thought I didn't. I couldn't be a kid.
But it's wild, though, to me.
That would be so fun.
You'll be great.
I just want to put a bow on this.
It's wild to me, though, that I invest so much time in just kindergarten flag football.
And I feel like everybody's at my throat.
I'm like, there's nobody who cares more about your kids than me.
I'm literally on the verge of tears talking to your kids.
You know, like, that should tell you how much I care that they came up short.
We came up short.
We're in this together.
So anyways, tough weekend.
Tough weekend.
For the Panthers.
You wear your heart on your sleeve.
The Panther Cubs.
We're moving up to the Panthers next year.
We're dropping the Cubs.
Got to.
Yeah, it's smart.
He ain't going to play tackle?
He's young, right?
He's six.
You ain't got to play tackle until.
We got to protect that.
For a while.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah.
Like, you got to play at eight years old.
I think my first tackle year was 10.
But, you know.
It's different, obviously.
It's different.
We got enough.
You don't have enough data.
Yeah, you got enough data.
Black's good enough to develop.
Yeah, you get the skills.
That's true. Teach you not to be scared. You can juke people. Yeah, no, that's understandable. Yeah, I get it. Yeah. Hey, well, we're going to talk about these jets. Yeah. We're going to talk about these jets. You want to talk about the Jets first? Well, yeah, let's talk about the Jets.
Yeah. So Fandul, correct me if I'm wrong, Club. Fanduel has a tab that says, when is the Jets, when are the Jets going to get their first win? That's what I'm hearing right now. Okay. And we all have the schedule right here. This is the Jets' upcoming schedule. They play the Broncos this week. That they're not going to win that game. No. Then they play the Panthers.
Possible.
Pangle.
Possible.
Possible.
Possible.
Possible.
Wait.
And with this, too, the fun thing on a Fanduil is every game, it's a different set of odds.
So if you're looking at Broncos this week, it's plus 300.
The Panthers the next week, plus 120.
And then the odds just start getting bigger because, you know, it's an O for team.
It's an O for team.
Yeah.
So we go, after their by week in week nine, they got Browns, Patriots, Ravens, Falcons, Dolphins, Jags, Saints, Patriots, Bills.
Oh, my gosh.
And I have myself a little paper popper stat, courtesy of Ryan Nolan.
Let's see here.
So you want our bet?
Is that what we're asking?
When do we think the Jets are going to win this season?
Before yesterday's trade for Joe Flacco, I would have said the Jets would have beat the
bangles.
But now that they've got a quarterback who will just air it out to Higgins and Jamar Chase,
I don't think they get it done.
And then the Brown's defense is nasty.
Nasty going up against Flacco again.
Patriots,
playing better than ever. Ravens are going to have Lamar Jackson back. Falcons are hot and cold.
I'm going Panthers. Fuck that. Week 7 Panthers. Plus one right now? I'm taking, I'm going
Ravens plus 6,500. You think they're going to beat the Ravens? I mean, not really. But if I'm going
through this, they can kind of, you know, Ravens are they suspect. They are suspect. But by week 12,
if they're healthy, they're going to be in panic mode making up for this first part of the season.
Yes. Yes. We got to win everything. Yeah. The sense of Virginians. The sense of
I love the odds.
Ravens.
I love the odds.
Ravens.
I'm going with week 14 versus the dolphins.
What are those odds?
Week 14 gets the dolphins plus 4,500.
God damn.
Dolphins, that's a good pick.
They're going to go 0 and 13 up until that point.
Yeah, that's crazy.
You just asked me when they were going to win.
You didn't ask me to predict them going 0 and 13.
I gave you the schedule.
Dolphins.
Which one are you taking?
I'm taking it Panthers.
I have taken them.
Panthers.
Let's get into some games.
Let me do, what's week 18 bills odds?
What?
Plus 30,000.
I'll do that.
I'll do that one.
Bills will be resting their starters?
They'll be resting their starters.
Yeah, yeah, I like that one.
God.
Okay, hey, stat here for you.
Oh, that's smart.
Aaron Glenn, right?
That's fucking smart.
Yeah, I didn't think about it.
Big defensive guy?
Big defensive mind.
The 2025 jets are the first team since 1950 to start 0 and 5 and have zero takeaway in each
of their five games.
Damn.
They've also given up seven.
Fourth most giveaways in the NFL.
Not good.
Not good.
This is a Mikul of Ultra.
You got this fun little thing going on.
You know about it because you're 3 in O against me right now.
And that grinds my gears.
But it's essentially playing for an Ultra.
Yeah.
You ask for another opportunity?
Yeah, I'm asking for a shot.
It's a lot of the title.
It's fun to be this fun little competition.
I see you got the ultra right there if you want to show the camera.
After I beat this ass, I'll be holding that ultra in my hand.
On three?
One, two, three.
shoot? Yeah. See ya. Hand that thing back. Yeah.
You thought I wouldn't do it twice. Three and one.
Superior is worth playing for.
McAlo-Bolcho, Superior LightB.
Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers, and guess what? We have some big news.
What's the news, new? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas.
We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a...
We're the first people to do podcasts.
Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there.
But this one's extra special.
So how do we actually come up?
with the name Hey Jonas, guys.
I honestly don't remember.
I think it was on a call about what we should call it.
Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band.
Before Jonas Brothers was...
This is how you guys remember it going down?
Yes.
I have a very different memory of this.
We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast,
where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas.
And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas,
and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.
But thanks for remembering that, guys.
Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcast.
Just listen.
We don't care where you hear it.
What's up, fam?
It's Isaiah Thomas.
And I'm CJ Toledano, and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds.
Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed.
And finding ways to win no matter what.
He's the smartest player to ever play the game.
His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before.
And he knows without Luca and Austin Reeves,
I got to manipulate the game.
We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs.
I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series
because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup,
he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid.
He has to guard Julius Randall.
And then he has to give us everything he gives us
on the night-to-night basis on offense.
And when IT's friends stop by, like Quintin Richardson,
we dive into some playoff history too.
Steve Nash would get that thing.
That man, hell get the flying.
He running up the court, licking his fingers,
why he got the ball like, after you go through a training camp with that, I said, you figure it out real quick.
Oh, yeah.
Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball.
So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, I'm Deanna Maria Riva, actress, mother, lover, and a Gen X woman walking through life one hot flash and hormonal crying jag at a time.
You ladies know what I mean.
I'll bet you a perimenaposal chin here you do.
So let's talk about it.
Join me on my new podcast.
How hard can it be with Deanna Maria.
where I call on my Gen X squads from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate Midlife's most fantastic BS.
All of a sudden, I'd had hanginess happening on my own.
I was like, what the hell is that?
I was married when I had her, so I didn't even consider how empty that nest was going to be.
Mood swings, night sweats, fupas, sex drive.
Wait, what sex?
Dating at 45. How can it be getting naked at 50 with the new guy?
That one's kind of hard.
Well, that's lighting.
They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try.
So let's get blunt with laughs, tears, or tears of laughter,
and dive into it, unfiltered and unbothered and ask,
How Hard Can It Be?
I cannot believe I'm about to say this out loud in public.
Listen to How Hard Can It Be with Diana Maria Riva

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, Delaney was just talking about.
We got the Panthers this week.
We got Cowboys, Dallas going to Kut.
Carolina, the odds on this game, Cowboys minus three and a half.
The over under on this game is 49 and a half.
Go ahead, Will.
I kind of like the Panthers.
Oh, whoa.
I kind of like the Panthers.
Whoa.
How hot the Cowboys looking right now?
Panthers did.
Panthers, it's really good versus Miami.
Yeah.
Looked really, really good versus.
Bro.
It's Miami.
Their defense held them to 14 yards on 13 design runs.
I feel that.
They stepped them behind the line of scrimmage six out of 13 of those runs.
So if you hit a run deep in standpoint, which I know it's
Yeah.
We're showing a little heart.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They were down, like you're in the second quarter, they're down 17-0.
They end up rattling back.
They're down 17-13 in the fourth quarter.
Bryce has got, Bryce Young, now, he's got a live arm.
Like, he's solid.
He's solid.
He's solid, and they have a solid run game.
Obviously, like to me, it's, I have written down here, Dallas defense equals bad.
No, they defense right now.
They give up plays, though.
They defense give up plays.
You say Bryce Young is solid.
solid, like obviously had that horrible fumble in the first half where you're right out of his hands.
He had the interception. He's averaging under 200 yards a game passing. And if you take away that
300 yard, you know, game versus the Cardinals that where he did play well, you know, he's averaging
about 150 yards. They've, their run game, all, uh, Rico Dowdle comes out of nowhere and rushes for
over 200 yards. That's what kept them in the game yesterday. I don't, you're right. Cowboys defense,
dead last. They're worse. But.
The way Dak Prescott is playing right now, the belief I have in him to go out and overcome, missing three linemen, not really having, you know, I mean, Giovante Williams did have, you know, 100-yard game.
Wide receiver one out.
Give me the boys.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I do like Dallas.
I just like this spot for Carolina.
They're 2-0 at home.
Again, like them coming back, I feel like, you know, I'm not saying it's going to spark them into going and winning mode, but they kind of have the confidence.
And when I watch Bryce Young, yeah, he doesn't have all the greatest stats in the world.
But the dude plays confident.
He plays he makes the season as quick.
Yeah, he plays hard.
He gets himself out of some sticky situations.
He's got a live arm, and I just like the Panthers here.
I don't disagree that the Cowboys have an extremely bad defense.
Their last game against the Jets, being the Jets, they record a 50.9% pressure rate.
It's the best that the Cowboys have had all season long.
And you think, oh, the Jets to Jets to Jets, well, week one, they played the Steelers against a team that has $179 million in their defense.
and they put up a lot of points against them.
So to see the Cowboys defense, at the very least,
they're like, oh, that was good,
makes me feel a whole lot better
because Dak Prescott is playing an MVP caliber right now,
even without C.D. Lam.
George Pickens has really picked it up.
Someone has pulled George Piggins into a room
and said, hey, by the way,
you can make $30 million a year
if you just try hard this season.
And you can be that guy that just has massive,
like, was it, contract years,
and then kind of fizzles,
and then contract year and does his thing.
I like the Cowboys,
minus three and a half here.
It's at the Panthers.
I don't seem that being a big home field advantage.
The Panthers kind of know they're dead in over there in Charlotte.
Give me Cowboys minus three and a half as well.
Cowboys minus three and a half.
Yeah, I mean, I got to go to Cowboys.
Give me Panthers plus three and a half.
No, I'll take a Cowboys.
Honestly, I think that it's crazy when you say that
because it kind of sway me towards the Panthers, too,
because I think this is going to be a two-point game, to be honest with you,
because the Cowboys defense is terrible.
So take the Panthers.
Yeah, but it's two points
Cowboys going on the road again
To the East Coast
Charlotte's not a hard spot to play
No, it's not a hard spot to play
It's actually nice to play in Charlotte
It's nice
We got mop there
How about I was saying when they were rolling with Cam
And it was tough
They didn't got Cam though
I know they don't have Cam
Okay so we go
I'm gonna take the Panthers
Fuck
All right game number two
We got Seattle
Traveling out to Jacksonville
Against the Jacksonville
against the Jaguars. Jaguars are favored by one and a half here over under on this game,
46 and a half.
Fellas of Jaguars.
Boys.
Jaguars are nice.
You know what's wild?
Their's wild.
If it weren't for a bad pass interference call against Travis Hunter against the Cincinnati Bengals
with a healthy burrow.
Oh, they'd be undefeated.
Jacksonville's 5 and 0 right now.
I said last week they're not a good team.
They got good players.
Maybe that's still true after watching this game.
but they find a way to win.
And I think there's something to be said for that.
Whatever Liam Cohen's got going on down there, it's working.
There's a belief.
The Trevor Lawrence experience, you can guarantee he's going to make amazing plays.
He's also going to give the ball over once or twice, as you saw on the interception on the goal line.
But give him credit for that last throw to Brian Thomas Jr. on the sideline right there, bring him down.
And even on that play, he scores on, falls down twice, looks goofy.
Bro, how about Chris Jones?
I saw that, man.
He saw that.
that. I mean, he makes that play.
He would have made it.
Yeah.
He keeps that from happening.
He said.
There's so many things that took place in that last drive for the chiefs that were just very unchiefs, like even from the kickoff.
Oh, yeah.
He could get out of bound, ball, all balls up in the 40.
They get a sack and they still allow them.
They have these gaping white holes in zone.
They get a pass interference that puts them on the two yard line.
I know.
It's just.
It's not them.
Very unchief like.
Yeah.
Very unchief like.
But Trevor Lawrence in that last two minute drive.
He had a couple of throws that were like, that's special.
Yeah.
A couple of special throws.
Yeah.
So I like Seattle here.
You like Seattle?
I like Seattle?
I like Seattle.
I like Seattle here too.
I think Jaguars are a good football team.
Again, I've said all your best kept secret in the AFC.
Your boy has said that since.
Secrets out, though.
Secrets out, though.
Secret is out.
But where Jaguars like to have a very solid run game,
Seattle's very good defensively against the run.
They're going to get some key guys back on defense this week.
Sammy D.
you know I love me some Sammy D
after having that tough loss
against a very good Tampa Bay Buccaneer team
it will be the only thing that makes me nervous
is they're traveling
going all the way across the country to Jacksonville
but I like Seattle
I like Seattle in this spot
I like him getting a bounce back game
I feel like the travel across the country thing
doesn't apply as much to the NFL
as we were just shooting our college football show
true but corner to corner to corner to corner to corner
to corner to corner to corner
you get one of the big boy planes
the laid down kids like you're living
five and a half hour for a lot
you gotta get there
oh shit
Check out this stat, though.
Hey, let's give it a second.
Hey, Seahawks, nine and one on the road, two and ten at home.
So I know you're worried about them traveling.
Oh, we can't focus.
I couldn't focus.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Seahawks, nine and one on the road, two and ten at home.
Going on the road.
I know you like the Seahawks.
I'm just helping you.
I know Delaney likes to switch his picks.
Seahawks, Sammy D. playing the lead.
Jackson Smith and Jigba.
It's the year of the Ohio State receivers, him in,
it's that every single year.
Every single year, Ohio State receivers just,
at least one of them goes off.
Yeah, at least one.
We mentioned, not all.
I don't know.
I don't, they're defense, Seattle's defense.
They only had one hit, one sack on Baker last week.
I picked the bucks, only one here to pick the bucks.
They came through because Seattle's defense let them down.
That's all the quotes that are coming out of Seattle right now
is how they need to find.
Find a way. Next man up. I think they're too injury plagued. I don't think they're going to be able to hang with Jacksonville in Jacksonville after this big win last week. Give me the Jags.
Seattle's got six defensive players with double digit pressures this year. I mean, that's impressive. Sam Darnel passes over 10 yards. He's at a 71% completion rating. He's 32 for 45, 700 yards and six touchdowns. Jackson Smith and Jigba. He's what?
second the NFL in both in deep receiving yards.
They can throw the ball over the yard.
Sam Donald is playing unbelievable right now.
When you watch a Cardinal game a couple weeks ago,
that Thursday night game,
there's a couple of balls that aren't,
they weren't caught,
but they're put in a spot where it's a drop for the receiver.
They are perfectly placed footballs.
I like a get-back game for Seattle.
I like it.
Seattle, Seattle, Jacksonville.
Seattle. I already had Seattle this whole time.
You know.
Stand alone, just like last week with the box.
Seattle.
Stand alone.
That's who I got winning in the conference.
I know.
I like it.
D going with us.
All right here we go.
Here's one for you.
You're cold right now.
So I'm going to be in the show.
If we fade you, we're going to be all right.
Yeah, they should switch your picks.
Whatever I pick, y'all should go opposite.
Detroit going to Kansas City.
Kansas City is favored in this game minus two and a half.
It's arguably the best team in the NFL right now.
They are the best team on the NFL.
The Detroit Lions.
Over under a hundred hundred hundred.
this game 52 and a half, Delaney will start with you.
Well, like I was just saying, they averaging 34 points of game, the Lions.
They, you know, in the beginning, I was off the lines.
I didn't know what to think about the Lions, you know, but they stepped it up.
I think the offensive coordinator just really got with golf and they just like,
what plays you like to run?
Let's do these. Let's get them going.
Let's get these boys running.
Going against the Chiefs, we saw last week the Chiefs play the Jags, good game, but look
like those boys are giving up. I don't feel like they're the same chiefs, right?
Maybe not. Maybe not. And the Lions right now, they're on fire, man. I just, I'm not going
to go against the Lions today. So I'm going to take the Lions. I hope y'all guys take the
chiefs so y'all can fade me and we can keep it moving. No, I'm with you Delaney. I mean,
they scored at least 34 points every game since week one. We had a ton of questions. Packers'
defense obviously playing incredibly well. But it seems at this point, the
Lions are the class of the NFC, if not the NFL.
They're just rolling so much momentum.
Love.
This was the first time I listened to Dan Campbell, his post-game presser in the locker.
And I just find myself becoming a bigger and bigger fan of him.
It's like you just want to play for him.
I want to say Detroit is now on defense, too, leading the league, maybe second in sacks
behind the Broncos.
But they're getting after it.
Really like what they're doing there.
three turnovers this last game trying to think sam man i got too many notes here i'm going to
skip them all but i like them but i also think the chiefs despite their loss this last week
played incredibly well incredibly well on offense i think that was the most comfortable um
patrick mahomes has looked in some time he had confidence with his receivers you obviously saw
with xavier worthy coming back what they can do they need to get a running game you know
Pat has to lead them every game in Russian, but they look good.
Unfortunately, I think the Lions are just too much for them, so give me the Lions this game.
But I do think I'm still, I'm like an ex-girlfriend with the Chiefs.
I'm not going to leave them alone.
I think there's still a wildcar team.
If not, who else is in that division?
I mean, they got a chance to win the division with the charges dropping another one.
Broncos are coming a lot.
Compton called that.
Broncos are coming alive.
They're coming alive in a big way.
Give me lions.
And the Chargers are starting to hurt themselves a little bit.
They got too many injuries going on.
Way too, Janie.
You brought up the defense.
Edon Hutchison is the only player in the end of.
NFL with seven pressures and at least one sack and three separate games this year.
Yep.
The Jaguars, as good as Patrick Mahomes looked about moving the ball down the field in that game,
the Jaguars doesn't have that kind of pressure rate.
They don't have an individual that can do those types of things.
Look at John Morton, the OC for the Lions.
After week one against the Packers, everyone's like, maybe the lions are dead.
This is the issue when you hire internally.
Turns out all that is wrong.
You said, whatever, 38 points a game?
34.5.
34.5 points per game.
I love Amon Raus Saint-Brown.
I love both of their running backs.
Jared Gough is throwing it all of the yard.
He does a great job in play action,
and their play action does so well because their run game is so well.
They have more answers and more abilities to win this game than the Chiefs do.
So I'm going to take the lines.
I'm going to go, Chiefs.
I think it's very obvious.
I think it's, this makes no sense that the Chiefs are favored minus two and a half.
They are.
It makes absolutely no.
no sense. You're right. She's kind of beating themselves last week, something we haven't seen
they're what they're two and three right now. At home, it's, I have no clue because I'm with you
guys in the Lions. I think the Lions are playing really good football. I think they're just,
they're back to being the Dan Campbell Lions. Like again, it's like week one, there's really no
preseason that could have been what happened against the Packers. But they're on fire right now.
I think it is so obvious to go Lions here. So for those reasons, I'm,
taking the Chiefs. I'm taking the Chiefs minus two and a half. Do I feel confident about? No,
absolutely not. Yeah, sounds like everything you're saying is like Vegas is up to something that
we all clearly don't know about. Is there a possibility? Are we going to get the Chiefs? We're
going to get the referees. There's no way this team goes two and four. At home. After a bad loss
like that, you're looking at all the film, other the Chris Jones stuff, everything that they did
to beat themselves. I think this is a great spot for them to just come alive against the Detroit
Lions, so I'm taking the Chiefs.
Chiefs minus two-hap. According to
Fandul, the reason the Chiefs are favorite
is the Lions' injuries in their secondary,
and the Chiefs were small favorites on the look ahead,
and then the Lions injury pushed the spread to two
and a half. So they must have
a very injured back end. Terry and Arnold?
Yeah. But still, the way this Lions' offense
is operating. You know, you fix a bad secondary?
Great pass rush. If you can't score...
I guess he's got a great pass rush. The Lions is going to put
points on the board. I don't care how
how riddled the defense is.
Trust me, hey, bro, I just said all that.
I'm with you.
I don't know, but I'm taking the Chiefs.
I mean, I get you.
For Vegas to say the Chiefs are favorite, what do they know we don't know?
They also had the Chiefs favorite against the Jags.
Yeah, they should have won that game.
So what do we know that they don't?
They should have won that game.
We can blame it on one player, you know.
Maybe we're understanding the board a little more clearly than Fandula is right now, friends of the show, partners of the show.
Yeah.
Well, we all, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We love Fandall.
Love them.
And we love the opportunity for this right here.
Thank you, Fandual.
Lions.
Lions.
Lions.
Hey, Clump, don't fuck this one up.
Lions.
Hey, Clum gave you the Lions?
I don't know what he'd been doing.
Delaney, Billy.
It's not the Lump's fault.
He just clunk in them late text of him, Delaney.
Hey, who are you like in this game?
Has it happened, Club?
No.
I get one text every week with Blaney Walker.
He,
there's any time touchdowns.
Jonathan Taylor.
Hey, he hit three times over last week.
I'm not going to give up on this dude.
He's probably.
There's nothing to give up on.
He's making you right every single week.
That's what I'm saying.
He must be the best back right now.
He's flurting with two plus on him.
They should have.
I know.
Someone said it too.
I should take the two.
I'm like, nah, that's too much.
Take the two this week.
No, no.
Well, hold on.
Let's hit one.
Let's hit one.
He may...
Nah, I ain't gonna do it.

Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what?
We have some big news.
What's the news, name?
Huge news.
We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas.
We invented a podcast?
Well, we didn't invent it.
We just contributed to it.
We're the first people to do podcasts.
Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there.
But this one's extra special.
So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys?
I honestly don't remember.
I think it was on a call about what we should.
you'd call it.
And, well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before
Jonas Brothers.
This is how you guys remember it going down?
Yes.
I have a very different memory of this.
We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, people could call in and say,
Hey, Jonas.
And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.
But thanks for remembering that, guys.
Listen to Hey Jonas on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or where,
you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.
Hey, I'm Deanna Maria Riva, actress, mother, lover, and a Gen X woman walking through life
one hot flash and hormonal crying jag at a time. You ladies know what I mean. I'll bet you
a perimenopausal chin here you do. So let's talk about it. Join me on my new podcast. How hard
can it be with Deanna Maria Riva, where I call on my Gen X squads from Ohio to Hollywood as we
navigate Midlife's most fantastic BS. All of a sudden, I'd had hanginess happening on my own.
I was like, what the hell is that?
I was married when I had her, so I didn't even consider how empty that Ness was going to be.
Mood swings, night sweats, fupas, sex drive.
Wait, what sex?
Dating at 45.
How can it be getting naked at 50 with the new guy?
That one's kind of hard.
Well, that's lighting.
They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try.
So let's get blunt with laughs, tears or tears of laughter, and dive into it, unfiltered and unbothered and ask, how hard can it be?
I cannot believe I'm about to say this out loud in public.
Listen to How Hard Can It Be with Diana Maria Riva
as part of My Cultura Podcast Network
available on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas.
And I'm C.J. Toledano,
and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds.
Like LeBron heading into the playoffs
without Luca and Austin Reed.
And finding ways to win no matter what.
He's the smartest player to ever play the game.
His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before.
And he knows without Luca and Austin Reeves,
I got to manipulate the game.
We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs.
I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series
because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup,
he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid.
He has to guard Julius Randall.
And then he has to give us everything he gives us
on the night-to-night bases on offense.
And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson,
we dive into some playoff history too.
Steve Nass would get that thing.
That man, hell get the flanks.
He running up the court, licking his fingers
why he got the ball, like,
after you go through a training camp
with that, Isaiah, you figure it out real quick.
Get your ass up and down the court,
and you're going to get the ball.
So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Let's do Buffalo in Atlanta.
Bills are favored in this game,
minus four and a half.
Falcons are the dogs at home.
Over under on this game is 49.5.
Get back on track for the bills.
feels that way, doesn't it? But the Falcons are like sneaky. You don't watch a whole lot of
their games, but then you see the box score and it's like, oh shit, they're dominating this team.
Oh shit, they're losing this team. It's like, Bejohn Robinson. He's incredible.
They're just hot and cold, man. I know. They're not consistent at all.
We talk about that Minnesota Falcons game early in the season. I know J.J. McCarthy was still playing,
perhaps injured, whatever it may be, but it's like beyond. Then you lay an egg against the
Panthers. A hundred percent, but like Bijon, you know, one of the best running backs in the league,
Pitts, Drake London, Jake Matthews at left tackle.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, they just got dogs up and down the board.
And listen, the Matthews group text, they got on me that game.
So I just want to say, you know, Jake, I love you, but I'm going with the bills.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I'm going with the bills.
They're just too hot.
They're too up and down.
I know they're down in Atlanta.
But listen, if we want to talk about the bills and their loss, I think that's less about
the bills.
I think it's more about New England, which can be a topic of conversation.
But the two areas of concern for the bills, I would say, are there defense, which is below average?
Run defense.
And then if we really want to look, strength of schedule.
Let's look at week one.
They beat, you know, the world beaters, the Ravens.
But everybody's been scoring on the Ravens.
They beat a bad jet's team, which obviously, like you said, isn't that bad?
Maybe are they, are they not?
No, they looked good against the Steelers.
They are that bad.
They didn't weirdly look good against the Steelers.
But then they have for at least.
two to three quarters have, you know, a tight game versus the dolphins and the Saints.
And then they play a team, a divisional game that's on the rise.
And they end up giving that one away.
I know they turn the ball over three times.
So all I'm just putting, there's always doubt that creeps in when there's a loss or things don't go your way.
I still think if the Lions are the class of the NFC, then Buffalo is the class of the AFC.
All I'm putting it out there is just saying like, watch out.
But I like this get back on track game.
Yeah, the defense is the biggest concern for the bill, especially with Bijon Robinson.
He recorded 28 missed tackles.
He's got the fifth most in the NFL.
Bro, he's good, man.
He is unbelievable.
Bill's Milano, get this boy to the ground.
When he was on the show during our spring tour last year,
two years ago, whatever,
he was talking about how when he has the ball in his hands,
the game slows down for him.
And then you watch the film and you're like,
oh, he's telling the truth.
Everything just seems way slower for him than anybody else.
But we were on the phone with Josh Allen yesterday.
And we gave him a hypothetical.
He said, hey, this team from Northeast is going.
down in the South and they happen to be favored by a four and a half away like would you take
that team he thought i was talking about michigan u.sc i wasn't he didn't know that i'm taking the
bills he said hypothetically sure yeah he didn't even give it down it wasn't absolutely yeah did uh
did josh bet on the game too no he didn't bet on the game that's illegal oh sorry that's illegal
that's illegal that's a rainy MVP you're talking about there man holds himself to a high
standard farmer I like the bills too what scares me in this is they're going to win by
four points they're going to win by three points I know yeah like bills are gonna
win this game they are but yeah I'm taking the bills so many ways to suffocate you on
offense like James Cook he's like three in the NFL the yards after contact like he's
they do but again you're you're right but again Atlanta's defense even though they let
panthers hang 30 on them one of the best past defenses in the league yeah well the
bill's office of those offensive line
is they have the lowest pressure rate in the NFL, 22.3%.
Like the bill's office line is playing great ball right now.
Like Dionne Dawkins, Brown on the other side,
like they are protecting Josh a lot of the times.
And I think like I'm very happy for the Patriots.
Drake May had a great game against an overwhelming defense.
But like the bills, those three turnovers,
given the ball away that many times.
Like you're going to put yourself in precarious situations all.
I mean, I think the Patriots really showed out
just because they got their star receiver back.
He made a lot of.
key plays. If it wasn't for him, we would have been saying the same old Patriots. Obviously,
that sparked the Patriots. And then Mike Brayble is like the guy who can beat the bills.
Like, every time we play the bills, we beat them when we have Mike. Not every time, but yeah.
Okay. There's always a formula that's there. You execute the team, the team goals,
what are the team keys, defense, offense, all that stuff like Brave is.
Brave is on point. They're rolling right now. It's a very dangerous to be. Yeah, they getting on.
They getting going.
It took them a long, it took them a while, but now they're starting to go.
A couple games.
So look, I don't think the Falcons have, I don't think the Falcons have a Mike Grable.
So this game could be close, but I feel like the bills is going to put some points out on the board.
They, where they score 30 a game.
They ranked third and scoring.
You like the Falcons, though, right?
No, no.
I think that I just think that the Bills is going to show up and show out.
Yeah, so we're all on the bills.
All right.
A lot of lose.
So the Falcons are going to win.
I hate that.
I do too.
Hey, how do you feel you got one of your favorite quarterbacks, Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears.
Chicago Bears going out to Washington this week.
Wait, who's starting quarterback for the commanders?
Jayton.
Oh, he back?
Yeah, yeah.
He played a great game last week.
Commanders are favorites.
Commanders are favorites four and a half over under on this game, 49 and a half.
What's the Leni Walker seen in this game with Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson?
Are you back on the Caleb Williams?
Oh yeah, you were about.
He never got all the way.
You were painting your nails with him.
I told you, I wasn't messing with my dog for a while.
But I'm still not messing with Cuzzle this week.
They got the commanders, B, like in D.C.
Stop playing.
Dude, you're making me second guess all my pets.
Stop playing with me, young.
They got the commanders in D.C.
Oh, come on.
They got a strong pass game.
They got a well-balanced run game.
And even with a boy going out, my dog stepped in there, McNichols, and went nuts for the commanders.
Like, come on, I'm not going against Marcus, McNichols, none of those boys, dog.
Take me the commanders right now.
Just for the audience and me is Mick Nichols.
Is that Marriota?
No, I thought he was going to say Marriota too.
My dog, Jeremy McNichols is a third-down situation running back for a little bit.
I don't know who that is.
I'm sorry.
He has each time he gets an opportunity.
He goes in.
Get it.
Somebody helped me out with the, is it the last name of the starting running?
Chrisky Merritt. Bill.
Crossky Merritt.
Crossky Merritt.
He had a coming out party against the Chargers.
They looked good, man.
They looked good against L.A.
Yeah.
That's who you thought McNichols was.
No, I did not.
McNichael's number 26, son.
What are you talking about?
Well, I didn't know who he was, so.
That's my dog.
Like, he stayed with me when he was here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I do.
I like commanders, too.
Good run defense.
This is a much better defense than they were last year.
Well, balanced offense.
Jane Daniels kind of had a coming out party or just showing that he's getting back on track,
making that progress.
He looked healthy.
He looked healthy.
But yeah, I like the commanders here.
You're in D.C. baby.
Yeah, you're in D.C.
And I'll tell you exactly how this game's going to go.
The first drive for the Bears are going to go down and they're going to score.
Absolutely.
That's going to happen.
That's what they do.
Oh, sure.
The Bears really are they that?
And commanders might go put up three after that.
Then it's going to be stall out after stall out because the commanders, what they do
great which is Caleb Williams yeah Caleb Williams is like Achilles heel is they
disguise coverage 28% of time on dropback situations and that's been like the big knock on Caleb
is like when the it's not a clean look for him can he dissect defenses the commanders do that
the third most in the NFL disguising defenses I think the first drive is going to be exactly we've
always seen from the bears and then after that it's commanders it's jaden Daniels you know
fastest player to a thousand yards rushing and NFL history did it in 20 games like he can
continues that streak of just getting more rushing yards,
extending plays. Is Terry McCollum back?
McClurenton?
McClurenton.
So they don't know yet.
It doesn't matter.
We still got Debo.
Debo, yeah, Delmo.
Debo looked good.
He had a big, big, I mean,
the catch didn't really matter at the end,
but like, over 100 yards receiving last week.
But I think-
I'm some special teams too.
What he was, this was.
Jay Daniels hurt when he played the Packers,
because that was my last memory of him.
He got hurt.
I know he got hurt, but like,
watching him yesterday,
verse, you know, a couple weeks ago.
He didn't look like he was rookie year, Jaden, but then watching him yesterday just move
around the pocket, letting his receivers become uncovered.
Like, it changed my thought process of him, who I was going to go for in this game.
And if he plays like that, which I don't see why not.
If he's healthy, he had a knee brace on.
But still, like, I like the commanders.
Let's not forget, too.
This was a hell Mary game last year.
Ooh.
There's somebody celebrating a little too much.
Yeah, that's true.
The game came down to the last play of the game, bro.
I forgot about that.
Bears were winning that game too.
The Bears were winning that game.
The Bears were, they were the Bears.
The same kind of team were thinking about coming here.
You got Ben Johnson as the head coach now.
Makes a little bit of a difference.
But yeah.
And that was also at Washington.
Yeah.
Didn't they score on that play?
Yeah.
Washington did to win the game, bro.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it was his guy.
It was his guy.
Cres the ball.
That's so funny.
I totally forgot about that.
It's a good pull.
Yeah.
It's a good pull.
I'll take commanders.
Good one.
I'm still writing commanders, but just to put, this isn't going to be some, some, you know.
It's in an easy game, though.
That's a great, no default back on next week if the Bears win.
You can be like, but I did say this.
Yeah, I told us.
Yeah, put it out there.
It is a little risky.
It's a little risky.
But give me the commanders.

Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what?
We have some big news.
What's the news, name?
Huge news.
We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas.
We invented a podcast?
Well, we didn't invent it.
We just contributed to a...
We're the first people to do podcasts.
Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there.
But this one's extra special.
So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys?
I honestly don't remember.
I think it was on a call about what we should call it.
We were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band.
Before Jonas Brothers was...
This is how you guys remember it going down?
Yes.
I have a very different memory of this.
We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast,
where people could call in and say, Hey, Jonas.
And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas,
and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.
But thanks for remembering that, guys.
Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Just listen.
We don't care where you hear it.
What's up, fam?
It's Isaiah Thomas.
And I'm C.J. Toledano, and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds.
Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed.
And finding ways to win no matter what.
He's the smartest player to ever play the game.
His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before.
And he knows.
Without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game.
We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs.
I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series
because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup,
he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid.
He has to guard Julius Randall.
And then he has to give us everything he gives us
on the night-to-night bases on offense.
And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson,
we dive into some playoff history too.
Steve Nash would get that thing.
That man, hell get the flying.
He running up the court, licking his fingers,
why he got the ball like,
After you go through a training camp with that, I said, you figure it out real quick.
Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball.
So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, I'm Deanna Maria Riva, actress, mother, lover, and a Gen X woman walking through life one hot flash and hormonal crying jag at a time.
You ladies know what I mean.
I'll bet you a perimenopausal chin here you do.
So let's talk about it.
Join me on my new podcast.
How hard can it be with Deanna Maria Riva, where I call on the...
my Gen X squads from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate Midlife's most fantastic BS.
All of a sudden, I'd had hanginess happening on my own.
I was like, what the hell is that?
I was married when I had her, so I didn't even consider how empty that nest was going to be.
Mood swings, night sweats, fupas, sex drive.
Wait, what sex?
Dating at 45. How can it be getting naked at 50 with the new guy?
That one's kind of hard, you know?
Well, that's lighting.
They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try.
So let's get blunt with laughs, tears or tears of laughter,
and dive into it unfiltered and unbothered and ask,
How Hard Can It Be?
I cannot believe I'm about to say this out loud in public.
Listen to How Hard Can It Be with Diana Maria Riva
as part of My Cultura Podcast Network available on the IHeart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
A classic game of the week.
Every Sunday's got games, but only one fits just right, Delaney.
This is the true.
Classic game of the week. It's a San Francisco 49ers.
Ooh.
Is it Mac Jones?
It's Matt. It's Matt, baby.
I hope it's Matt.
Matt Jones in Tampa Bay.
Give me Matt.
Buccaneers only favored by three.
Overrun this game, 47 and a half.
Hold on.
Bro, over MVP Baker Mayfield, you want Mac Jones?
Man, that's my dog.
Just because you went golfing with him once.
He's your dog.
Three game winning drives.
Did you not see my second field goal in Seattle?
Did you see my dog out there, dicing him up, getting hit throwing up, that one up.
Getting up. He was dry heaving. Getting a massage on the sideline.
Checking cats. Checking cats. Yeah. Yeah. You see me? Like, no, to get my dog that's up.
CMC 31 touches in that game. Yeah.
Outmanned, outgunned.
But what a great game by the 49ers. What a great thing.
What a great thing.
And Matt Jones. Like, CMC staying in front of the sticks. Like, man, the RAN, the whole time I'm just thinking, Rams coming back.
fans coming back and the 40-9ers did just enough to get that win.
That punch out at the end of the game was crazy.
That punch out at the end of the game like crazy.
Just wish that Michigan cat would just start holding on the ball a little bit more.
Kesson would be all right.
We got drops.
We got drops everywhere.
Drops our play go over Michigan right now.
We got drops everywhere.
Drop this game this weekend too.
Ooh.
You sound pretty confident.
I don't know.
I don't know.
What do you mean?
It's your team.
You want to make a bet?
I ain't shaving my head.
Wait, wait.
Wait, wait.
Wait, wait.
You're a head man, know it?
Yeah.
Yeah, at the Coliseum.
USC's favorite two and a half, Coliseum sold out.
You're welcome.
Yeah, $92,000.
$92,000 sold out, about $73,000's maize and blue.
Course is going.
Since Lincoln Riley's got there, USC, 18 and two at home.
They've been getting nuts.
Five and one after bye weeks.
Mayava, this is what, this is,
this is Caleb Williams Highsman game right here
against the Wolverines.
You gotta make, you gotta make a bet.
Make a back.
That we go.
If I went to this, if I went to this,
If I was to the ass, I want to show right now.
I'm not good on the fly.
That's easy, man.
I'm not good on the fly.
You want to do a money?
Do you want to do a money?
But there's a reason why I came back to the show, all right?
I need that cash.
You want to do a money bet or you want to do just a fun bet?
Right, throw something out there.
No, don't let him throw none there.
No, I'm not cheating my head.
I told you.
I got one scout looking for another one.
Don't let him tell.
Don't let him throw it.
It's kind of nice.
No, you know what's nice when New York
an LA call and say, we need you for an appearance.
And I go, yes, ma'am, I'll be there.
And I know why.
They won't call you without any other?
Yeah, they'll still call you.
Brother.
Then they put a ball cap on us?
Just a ball, man.
OBJ had the little,
you know what I'm saying, had the little dye in the front.
Troy Paula Moller had the black curly hair.
It's synonymous.
Yeah, he did.
Yeah, he did.
That's sold up for me.
That sucks.
Yeah.
That's, that's gross.
Why?
I didn't have, bro.
I'm not touching the hair, all right?
That's off limits.
Dye your hair.
No, no, no.
How big is your front yard?
Uh, I mean.
It's big.
He's got a lot of land like you.
Oh.
So what you think?
What do you think?
Yeah.
If you lose and you got a nice yard too,
one of y'all got a spray to either the Michigan logo on your front yard or the USC
your logo on your front yard.
Yeah, but that means I got to go.
Can we talk?
about this. People are gonna see that?
I never come back before.
Hey, can we just, do a money.
Well, his, you can't.
How much one to see his?
I don't know, girl. You're the one, this fan do a money, all right?

Get the fuck out of here, Clay.

Is that two peanuts for you?
I'm just thinking we got to make this fun for the viewer.
Yeah.
That's my money's on.
I need something that, like 10,000 to you is nothing.
I need something that you care about.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
The hair's saying, brother.
I was going to say he gets the coach one year.
He gets the coach one game.
Yeah, let me think about it.
Let's think about it.
Let me think about it.
Because I'm down to do whatever you want to do.
All right, guys.
So I'm not a big gambler.
Oh, yeah.
Sorry, Fanduel.
Oh, we were talking about it.
We were in the middle.
talking about their guy.
49ers bucks.
Yeah, bucks because it went to receiver
or dropping balls or something like that.
Out of the way or way.
Oh, got a little touch ago.
We were talking Mac Jones,
the game plan that Shanahan had.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Incredible game plan.
Yeah, incredible game plan.
Really neutralized that pass rush.
Yeah.
They did an amazing job.
He did do a good job.
Yeah.
Born.
Is it born, the receiver?
Kendrick Bourne.
Over 100 yards receiving?
He's on the Patriots.
CMC.
No, he's not.
No, he was on the Patriots.
He was on the 49.
Yeah.
Listen, I know that the Niners are riding high right now.
They should be.
It's a good ball club.
But this is the Tampa Bay Buckeye House.
This is the Tampa Bay Buckemeis.
At Tampa, Baker Mayfield.
Baker, Mcfield calling his shot talking shit to the fan up in the stands.
And he said, I told you as he runs back in.
Yeah.
Well, I love Tampa.
Mac was doing it too.
And that's why they're going to get this stuff.
Up in Seattle, too.
Matt was pulling his pants up a few times.
No, but he got up.
As hanging out.
Yeah.
I mean, he was taking a B-in.
He was taking a beating.
He was still, it was still tossing it out there.
No doubt.
He's played awesome.
They played awesome.
I'm not going to ride with it.
But if you're not talking about the lines, you're talking about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
in the NFC.
I'm not.
Who are you talking about?
Here we go.
Top five.
Top five.
I'm talking about the bears.
The Bears.
What about Green Bay?
Green Bay kind of.
Oh, Green Bay is it.
Green Bay is it when they play at home.
That is your prison gambler said?
Yeah.
Give me Baker Mayfield.
Baker Mayfield.
Baker Mayfield.
And you got the Niners.
Of course I got the Niners.
Just making sure, just for the viewers.
We're right here.
We're going to a good spot.
Let's get in a great spot.
I'll bet the boys parley.
Anytime touchdowns.
This week I got J.K. Dobbins.
You doing it.
You're doing your little.
Yeah, I got you.
Give me George Pickens.
Six weeks ago, but I got you.
You took the Panthers, yeah?
Yeah, I didn't say pants are going to shut them out.
I know.
I'm just.
Give me George Pickings.
Speaking of the Packers,
Give me Josh Jacobs versus the Cincinnati,
the Joe Flacco-led Cincinnati Bengals.
Is he starting this week?
Would Delaney just over here dancing to something in his head right now?
He's oral forming.
That's because Delaney knows who's your pick, Delaney?
Guarantee.
Guarantee.
Guarantee.
Let's go.
I do have a question.
Oh, boy.
We need to go back and see when this guy's gone off
and see how the picks go.
who's talking.
He fucks with that.
Why do you pick?
I will just take a second.
All right, yeah, let's take a second.
Why do you pick Jonathan Taylor every week?
I mean, when I used to prick the Great White Hope,
y'all was on that too, but it hit, right?
Sure, I'm just asking.
You're just playing the odds.
I'm just, look, I'm gonna ride my dog until he let me down, right?
That's what I do.
His name is Jonathan Taylor.
He did a couple weeks ago.
He let you down two weeks ago.
We don't say his name.
No, he didn't.
Yeah, he did.
It was the other guy.
The other cat who got the holding.
His name is...
Bad coaching.
His name is...
Robert Paulson.
What movie's that from, Will?
He don't know.
Robert Paulson?
Yeah.
Shit.
You know.
What's the first rule?
Oh, Fight Club.
There you go.
I've seen that movie.
Have you?
Yeah.
An Animal House.
Oh, yeah.
Big fan.
Yeah.
Where did they shoot Animal House at?
Huh?
Where'd they shoot Animal House out?
There you go.
Come on.
Yeah, Jonathan Taylor.
Jonathan Taylor.
J.K. Dobbins, George Pickens.
Josh Jacobs.
Hell of the show.
That's your Betta Boys parlay.
We got to figure out what we're going to do for this back.
I'm going to switch it up next week.
Hey, dude, how did we do last week on the Betta Boys?
You just said you're going to ride them.
He got a bye week.
Damn, Arm and Raw had eight receptions for a yard.
If they listen, if they follow him.
the direction, I'm gonna sell a book on how to make picks.
How to make money?
Just take the favorite to score touchdown every week.
That again is clump.
Hell of a show.
Hell of a show.
Big Cunks, tiny kisses.
Stream this Thursday?
Yes.
Streaming this Thursday?
Clay Matthews, we'll have a shaved head on Monday.
Yeah.
