commercialize a minor holiday. That's a good one. Yep. On three, same time, because I think we might have the same holiday. One, two,

three, Groundhog Day. Holy shit. What's up, bitch? Wow. Let's go. Fuck this year,

man. It's almost over. As we sit, 223 p.m. in 2020, uh, you guys are definitely doing better because I hear, um,

that sorry that was a marijuana rolling around your person that was a rough one out on the porch there dude i don't know what that was that i i feel like i'm like i have my first marijuana cigarette out there it's the last one of 2020 no no it's not it's new year's eve man Fuck this year. What I was going to say is that I hear you guys are great because magically when the clock strikes midnight tonight, all the world's problems are solved. New beginnings. Heck in New Zealand, where it is 2021, they're gathering in the streets, partying. They're doing great over there.

They also controlled the thing. They did control the thing. So like life is pretty standard for them. this point. Good for them. Good for them. Do you need some water hydration can? I do need some water.

Cow. Golly, that redacted strain of redacted was rough. Oh, golly, I feel like a dork. That's one of my biggest fears about smoking with somebody really famous. It's that I just start coughing or something because they have some like ultra-powerful but they have some just... Did you ever do that with Snoop? No, I turned it down.

Really? Yeah. Wow. How would you do that? It's like Jordan asking if you want to play a game of horse. There were too many people in the room. Damn. Oh, you mean like that guy's doing illegal drugs?

Nah. Well, I mean, nah. More like, I'm pretty sure anybody that's in, you know, in a room with Snoop after a show or something. is going to be pretty cool. No, my issue was, I don't like to be in a room full of 222 people, I don't know, and get just...

Hoya paranoia? And just get smacked in the face with whatever Snoop's smoking. Right, okay. Which, the funny thing is, you imagine these celebrities that their brands are smoking a lot of weed, like they get the best cannabis

that they have in the back room at a dispensary and they don't they choose not to sell it you know what i mean to the general population like these days you have access to the best of the best in so many places what's kush kush yeah afghan kush it's a strain of bud okay bud what's bud bud bud is marijuana okay what are what are the stems and the seeds you want to get those out okay yeah you don't want to smoke the stems or the seeds. Okay. Okay. All right. Thank you. Yeah. Where were we on smoking with, uh, yeah, you just, that's the biggest fear is that you, you, you smoke with somebody, like if you had to, if you got to smoke with Willie Nelson, who doesn't smoke anymore. What if I wasn't good enough? You know what I mean?

And he judged me. It was like, fucking dork. And that is the reaction, the coughing, or just not being, not being able to keep up mentally? Like, like, just the, the coughing or the, the, the, the And yeah, they're not being able to keep up mentally. That would be the concern in a room full of people with a snoop dog. Like, just like, what is that guy looking at me about? Or did that person, it's paranoia. It's social anxiety. I have social anxiety anyways, but, you know, like if I'm high, that can, with people I know,

social anxiety can go away. With people I don't know, it can make it go up. Right. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah, that makes perfect sense. Yeah. I'm not judging your coughing.

Not judging my person. It's also the allergies, man. Right. Ragweed is high. Yeah, did a dog just walk by? Yeah. I think so. Out the, like on the street.

It's also a construction site across the street. A lot of pollen kicking up. And so today, which is December 31st, 2020, we are going to talk about New Year's. We're going to talk about the winners and losers of 2020 this year. and what we want out of next year in sports and beyond next year being where you sit and everything's better we know already you remember Y2K when we thought yeah dude man there's a shot that at midnight yeah everything is cabooie I remember sitting there with my girlfriend thinking that like you had a girlfriend

I did have a girlfriend and thinking like you're 15 yeah damn that must been cool it was cool having a girlfriend you see how I did that yeah no but I was like I was like damn is this going to be the last girl I hook up with because of Y2K you were hooking up yeah I was hooking up yeah I was hooking up damn kids these days they can't hook up novel coronavirus that's right that's right what's it like being a fucking noob used to hook up on the reg there's a mailbag question that corresponds to this this whole little bit here. Can't wait. We are doing mailbag at tail end.

As always, I think it's going to be a good one. You know when you got a great game plan, you've seen what the opponent's doing, and you're like, hey, we match up well. That's what I thought when I saw the questions. They came from Twitter.com and Instagram DMs, so social following crushed it this week. I agree with you.

I saw the roster, liked what I saw. I do want to make you aware that you are clearing your throat every about 15 seconds. Yeah, it's just one of those things where, um, those of us with misophonia, um, aren't going to be able to listen to the pod. Misophonia. Yeah.

What is that? When certain noises drive you insane. Like, for instance, the person who likes to wear a lot of bracelets at the office and then type way on his or her machine. Yeah. Holy smokes.

Yeah. There are countless examples. Like somebody just scratching a chalkboard with their fingernails. Mm-hmm. Repeatedly. Like the clearing of a throat. That would get you bad? After some cushy stems.

So it's not an uncomfortable sound. It has to be repetitive. Yeah. Good question. I think either. I think either. So how about like Morse code? Like what if you were,

trouble and you needed Morse code. And you were afflicted with misophonia? Yeah, you wouldn't be able to get out of whatever conundrum you're in. Misophonia is a disorder in which certain sounds trigger emotional or physiological responses that some might perceive as unreasonable

given the circumstance. So it's really putting it back on the person afflicted saying I'm being unreasonable. You can just move the fucking goalpost. I'm being unreasonable because I can't handle your next thing you know, we're going to have a player who's going to say on the road, he's going to be a quarterback,

hey, I have misophonia, quiet down. And then everybody's going to be like, guys, he's got misophonia. Is that where we're headed? Is misophonia a serious thing?

Oh, it's serious. It's very serious. Is it deadly? Well, sure. Rage, anxiety. Rage? Yeah, rage.

How so? Like describe the risk I'm taking when I type with my bracelets if I'm the woman at the office. How might the rage be manifested? Well, I become enraged as a hearer. So then what do you do? Is that, I blow a gasket? Is that bracelet lady's fault that you're going to go fucking nuts?

No, but it's my, it's the disease that I carry. Disease. Yeah. And fortunately, it's usually. self-diagnosable says webmd. Oh, that's good. All the good ones are. All the good ones are.

Treatment might involve therapy or lifestyle recommendation, such as using sound protection or creating noise-free zones within living spaces. I'm not going to lie. Because, you know, I'm busting your balls. But I can't deal with multiple people talking at once. I can't deal with a noise going on over here. and trying to hone in on who's talking to me right here. If there's a TV on in the background and somebody's talking,

I'm trying to listen to both things. So I don't know what that is. Maybe that's just ADD. Could be misophonia. I don't think it's misophonia, dude. But since we can diagnose it right here on the couch, maybe it is misophonia. Coughing my entire life.

Not just this year. Somebody can't stop coughing. I lose my shit. Somebody, somebody criticizes me. I'm sorry. That's, that's not good for my misophonia. I'm great, I'm great with criticism. So yeah, we got mailbag and, uh, let's talk New Year's.

But before we do that, rest in peace, Alto Reed, 72 years old, Sacks God, Bob Seeger. Turn the page. You know, turn the page. You know, Alto read. You know exactly what I'm talking about. about right making please tell me you know bob seger please tell me no turn the page i know bob seger uh for

instance um night moves night moves is a terrific song for instance like a rock like a rock is great even though you associated immediately with the Chevy commercials when you're our age you don't know me but yeah you're right you definitely do but you don't know the sacks i'm talking about all Oh, fucking read, dude. It's a legend. And I actually got a chance to meet him in St. Louis. And with our buddy Aaron Grossman, we went to a Bob Seeger show. And after the show, because I played for the Rams, it's a big deal, St. Louis Rams now.

So I was in the back. I was in the back now. I was in the room with the Canada Dry and the hors d'oe and stuff. Well, they weren't hors d'oeuvres. It's more like chicken and stuff like that and like salad. I don't want to make it sound fancier than it is. But it's basically a place that, you know, the who's who of a city is after a Bob Seeger show. So we run into Alto Reed and he was the nicest dude in the world.

Next thing you know, we end up partying with Alto Reed. This sounds terrible. We end up partying with Alto Reed in his hotel room into Ritz Carlton. But it was like a big suite. So there were like 30 people in there. and it was awesome and he was the nicest dude in the world and you know 72

too young I don't know many details about it but um alto read legend good dude I can honestly attest to that Aaron Grossman remembers it um shout out to Aaron sorry about the throat mayonnaise brole

mayonnaise bowl yesterday did you see the fucking trophy thing yeah I immediately thought a huge marketing win for Dukes. Definitely. Yeah. Also, fuck mayonnaise.

I mean, that's all we have to say about that on this podcast. Mailball, though. I just refused to watch the game. After I saw that Duke's mayonnaise water jug with the button that you push, like that you usually get Gatorade out of. Did you see that? No. You didn't see that?

You weren't on the internet a lot yesterday? I wasn't. You painted a fine picture, though. I can. Yeah, it was disgusting. It was a marketing employee. But for me, it totally bad. backfired. I don't even want to give AOLES a chance anymore. I had somebody that after I posted the reposted

the social yesterday of our mayonnaise incident. I had a guy be like, wait until you find out what, what's in AOLI, like dead serious lecture mode. Internet lecture mode. I'm like, dude, I know that's the fucking joke. Are you sitting down? Chicken salad. Chicken salad, tuna salad. But never again after I saw that. I might have to swear those foods off forever. the year's 2007 and Coach Groh comes to you and says Chris your captain we've got invited to the duke's mayo bowl where else we're sitting home I'd really like some guidance on this coach some things are bigger than football like the holidays like mortal sins like seven deadly sins mayonnaise country god all that stuff those are the things that I don't I don't make concessions on those

things. You would have spent the penultimate day of the year at home rather than playing the badgers of Wisconsin. It's called a boycott. It's called activism. As these bowls get more and more ridiculous, why not? Go all in. Playing the Mayo Bowl. Do you want to do your mailbag question right now to give people a sneak peek at the type of brilliance we got going on to the back end of this show? There is a question that's tapered exactly for this situation. It's tailored. If you will. It's tight on the calves of the situation. Jacob asks what brand needs to be sponsoring a bowl game after all these.

Good question, Jacob. You got your guy right here. Yeah. We've got Duke's Mayo. We've got tropical smoothie cafe Frisco Bowl. We've got Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl. I want to see Fila, frankly. The Fila Bowl.

Yeah, get back into the game. I feel like Fila is. kind of faded into the hedges with Homer Simpson of late ever since Alan Iverson stopped. Was Alan Iverson ever Fila guy?

I don't think he was. I don't think he was. Alan Iverson was always a Reebok guy. Those zip-ups looked like Fila. I was trying to find it in my mind's eye because when I think about Alan Iverson, I think about his giant endorsement deal that he signed.

I think it was a lifetime deal that he couldn't be associated with any other brands with Reebok. Maybe it was Grant Hill. Grand Hill. I feel like I had an unfortunate pair of Grant Hill Phila as a youngman. I love Phelis. I think Fila as a brand, it's out there for Fila still.

Yeah. Yes. Right? Yes. Yes. It's out there. Get on your grind and get it. New Balance is kind of like emerged in the last decade as...

New balance has fucking always been cool, but, you know, it could be even cooler. Fila. The Fila. I'm totally with you on Fila. Okay. That's a good one. I don't have an answer. Oh, daggone. Maybe. Maybe the Mucinex DM bowl. There you go. Yeah.

I don't get the DM part, but Mucinex for sure. Is that one of the medicines? DM is one of the iterations of the Mucinex. Okay. I know this because, you know, my son loves the brand. Right, right, right. Remember he was the Mucinex man for Halloween. He was. I'm young. Actually, as he would tell you, he was a germ. You like to say he was the Mucenex man. He wanted to be a germ. Why do you think he thinks the, the, a germ?

look like slimer from the movie Ghostbusters. Why does you think? I haven't seen it. What? Yeah, that's a non-Ghoststers. Fake. Any New Year's resolutions before we do these winners and losers? Let me start by saying I love New Year's resolutions.

And I'm not saying that I wouldn't resolve to be better or different or worse on December the 10th or May the 2nd. but I just love the thought of a new start however flawed that logic might be, all right? Yeah. Now, I don't know that I have much. It's flawed as fuck, TBH. Okay.

Here I'll go with the, about seven years running now, feet on the ground at the first alarm. I've failed for many years. I want the first alarm to go off, and I want my feet on the ground. So you snooze every time. Yeah. The real estate business isn't scaring you.

Well, I give myself. You got to be afraid. I give myself, I'm plenty afraid, bro. You got to fear losing. I rarely sleep. That's why I try to get those extra. Hey, no, I've been doing better. Shout out listener, Zach Carr with the keels midnight eye cream I've been applying for the past few weeks.

I think it's kind of like a placebo. deal. Maybe you should apply it at 9 o'clock too. What's that supposed to mean? We should probably double up on the eye cream. Actually, dude, I think they're better. I never notice them anyways. I'm just riling you up. Thanks. Maybe not thanks. Never mind on the thanks. Yeah. Where were we? Yeah. So you're talking about your resolution. At worst I snooze. At best, I just give it a few. Yeah. Like I need to get my wits about me. Where am I? Not that I I'm always in the same place but you know

slumber sleep to wake is a wild transition you know what I'm saying I wake up at home in fact I didn't leave I didn't leave the Commonwealth this entire year

of a fact I'm proud of frankly stop laughing and say you know what I'm talking about I'm just kidding it sucks being on the other end right wife alert I guess

she knows I'm there. Yeah. No, no, no, yeah, yeah, yeah. About a thousand on being there. Okay, here's another. I want to be triple digits in the hydration category. You've inspired me as the hydration. You're damn right I have.

Yeah. Three digits every day of 2021. Good. Feet on the floor. First alarm. Let's see. What else? Oh, I want to read.

I want to read books. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I've been wanting to read books since, since Y2K. Really since we stopped having to read them or we were stopped being forced to read Spark Notes half our lives ago

and now I want to get back into reading for pleasure. You know what books I read a lot and this, I'm not bragging, but goosebumps. Mm-hmm. Front to back. Was that R. L. Stein? R. L. Stein. different color slime dripping down the front

different fake stuff golish stories bypassed those somebody asked a week ago didn't make the cut they asked what was the worst present you've ever given anybody and I gave my

sixth grade girlfriend a used goosebumps book I met a girlfriend in sixth grade girlfriend have her jeez that used to be my AIM name right now it's hydrated king family man

lover of my wife, Chris Long. Back then it was girlfriend have her. Wow. Yeah. Girlfriend have her. Yeah, sixth grade I gave Courtney, um, I used Courtney.

Yeah. I gave Courtney a used goosebumps book with like pages. Like page 33 was, was dog-eared. Like it's, you know what I mean? Like, and I wrapped it. that's nice yeah man you've always been a thoughtful cat you just gave me uh some um marzipan

yeah yeah yeah yeah well really thoughtful yeah well the you you like marzipan right i guess well you love that that that shit as i understood i love that that shit as well put some vanilla ice cream on that that princess cake yeah you didn't really give me a cake you kind of gave me a little nugget of marzipan kind of weird to give a friend a cake for christmas Kind of weird to give a friend of Nugget of Marsapan, but I appreciate it. Well, kind of weird to give a friend a quarter of a used bottle of shampoo and a pandemic for Christmas. Shampoo and conditioner. Yeah, that's right.

So what I was doing was just like, hey, I got some stuff at the store and I saw one of these fucking little pieces of marzipan and I was hungry. And when I realized two of them came in the pack, I was like, I can just get this can be my present to making. Thank you. No problem. I hate to get us off course, Chris, because we're clearly rolling on down the tracks right now, but I read the Matt Christopher. Chugga Chug a Chag a Chag Chagha. Like Touchdown Tommy.

Yeah, I didn't read those. And, uh, et cetera. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I, uh, every year I want to, I want to read more books. Every year I want to get more organized, right? That's always, you know, I think at 80, I'll be trying to get more organized. Yeah. And I never have.

So I don't believe in, I don't believe in. I don't really believe in New Year's resolutions. I love them. I'm sorry to say that. I mean, like I'm O for life on them. Have you ever followed through on one? Yeah.

Good for you. Geez. Thanks. But I'm also making resolutions like every day, not to sound like a corny life skills guy because I don't have them. But I think if you wake up every day working on something, it kind of renders the, just get one percent better every day.

No, it's never something that. Exponential growth. No, that's stupid. Like when I hear people, people talking like that. I'm like, I'm not investing in whatever you're selling. Anyways, yeah, so let's do winners and losers of 2020.

We're just going to go down the line here. I know we missed a lot of things. And we're going to try not to be too serious. So, you know, if in losers, you don't find novel coronavirus or like pandemic or, you know, Chadwick Bozeman passed away, which was like so fucking sad. I was like, like I don't even, I don't even watch a lot of his movies. Just seems like a great guy. And it came out of nowhere. Like there were a bunch of those moments this year.

We're not going to go there. So don't be like, you forgot this. You forgot that. This is us like scrambling to make one of these lists. And the cool thing is nobody else does lists like this on New Year's. Nobody does winners and losers of the past year on any other podcasts or shows. You're saying that, but at least in the podcast space. A lot of our peers mail it in and literally put out a best of.

Yeah. They're perhaps with their loved ones on New Year's Eve, whereas you and I are in the studio. That's why we're literally Bill Belichick, and we're going to get fucking a bunch of rings. Right. And maybe we're in New York right now, or maybe we're in Cleveland.

But soon we're going to be in New England, because we said podcast, family, football, faith, right? Right. That was your. Team issued Nike gear. That was number two. That was the hook.

The podcast is one, yeah. Podcast is one. It's over everything. So that's why we're doing, you know, yeah, we could mail it in, but we're not. So let's start with winners. You got one? I got one.

Mike Jordan, holy smokes. We were captivated by that cat for how long? Months. Oh my God, dude. I felt like I was living in his living room. It was like maybe not quite the Super Bowl. It was better than the Super Bowl, dude. It was appointment television for however long it went on.

I guess two hours times five. There's a lot of reasons why this one, it was on my list as well. There's a lot of reasons why this one was one of the most important sports moments in history. I'm just telling you that. consider the context we had no live sports we had nothing this was the deadest time of this this pandemic the most and we're sitting here and this is 300,000 plus people have died but it's become somehow more than new normal of like this this is terrible this has been an awful year at

that point it was like oh my god what's in front of us can we even get through the summer like is it going to like also the social shock of being just sequestered to your house and and not being a social creature. You know, no sports if you're a sports fan, all that stuff. This was the first thing that everybody was sharing together at the same time. And it happened to be sports. So if you remember where you were, it was like almost refreshing to be able to text somebody and be like, did you see that?

What did you think of that episode? Oh my gosh, this is coming up. And so your entire week instead of like, oh, in five days is Sunday. It was, oh, in three days, you get everything. episode three or four. Yeah, started on April the 19th, so you're right, the timing was necessary. We had recently had March Madness canceled.

And that was one, spoiler alert, that's gonna be on the losing end of this thing, but I mean, we had a, we had a Last Dance character draft, which I crushed. Hey, guess what? You know who else was a winner in that whole thing? Dennis Rodman.

Dennis Rodman was just in North Korea, bro. fucking eating lunch with, you know, the devil incarnate. And he got the biggest pass in the world because all of a sudden we were watching him play basketball. And everybody was like, oh, I remember Dennis Robin. He's awesome. Like, what the fuck is this guy talking about? And did you not remember when he was in North Korea last year?

Do you see his hat? This guy's off his rocker right now. Yeah, that's a good point. And he was like people were discussing him like a family member on the internet for a month. It was like, ugh. I'm sorry, dude. Because I want to like Dennis Robin. I'm like everybody else.

I want to like Dennis Robin. And maybe if Dennis Robin was sitting right here, he'd be like, well, you don't understand that, you know, and when you're in a room with Kim Jong. And it's like, it's different. He's totally like, but you just can't convince me that that's okay to go over there. And co-sign that shit. No. You got a winner? Oh yeah, I got lots of winners.

Try Fauci. Yes. Fucking guy got played by Brad Pitt. That's how famous Fauci got. And also, when you're standing next to another devil incarnate with regularity, you tend to look pretty good. So he's just like, roll the ball out there. You're going to be popular.

Just don't be. a ghoulish henchman for a dictator. Damn, the doc turned 80 on Christmas Eve. Exactly. Looks good for 80. That's why Brad Pitt was playing him. And here's the biggest irony, and I'm sure he's married,

so it's just a joke. But the guy could be, like, think of, what 80-year-old in history ever had more prospective groupies? And the worst part about it is, he'd be the first to tell you, it's no time to go hooking up with groupies. Hoking up's gotta stop.

Dr. Fowlerchie's married to Christine Grady. She's a bioethicist with the National Institute of Health. I don't want to disrespect Christine Grady. I'm sorry, Christine Grady. Your husband's awesome. You're probably even cooler. And I don't think he has any groupies. I really don't.

But you could imagine if he did. Be fucked up because germs. I'll give you another one, since I know you have less than me. Fewer, please. Yes. Oh. Winner.

Grammar. Grammar was a winner. I'm not doing that so much anymore. Yeah. It's really impressive how you've overcome the drugs you smoked. Oh, it's really impressive how you've overcome having a self-diagnosed illness about noises. It's a disorder. Okay.

I'm just a bit, dude. I really do care. about your misophonia. I really do. Heaven forbid another conversation pops up in this space. Well, what I wouldn't do is like call it a disorder. I'd just be like, I just can't fucking focus. Now, maybe there's a disorder there,

but I certain, and you've been good about not being offended by me being an asshole about your misophonia. I wouldn't be offended if I found out that I had like some condition and you were making fun of me because I can't listen to my wife talk while Anderson Cooper's on in the background. Interesting that you put it that way and not,

you couldn't listen to Anderson Cooper while your wife is. No, Meg knows if there's like loud noises going on around, it's going to be hard for me to like key on, on what the fuck is being said. You're going to key on Anderson Cooper and then try to listen to your wife. No, no, no, I'm going to be listening to my wife.

Got you. But if Anderson Cooper's on in the background, it's anybody's ballgame. It didn't seem like that's quite what you said, Maybe I misspoke. Okay. I don't think it's tomato tomato. NASCAR banning the Confederate flag.

Big win. That was awesome. I have NASCAR slides because of that. I bought the merch. I actually have some intimidator shower slides that I wear with semi regularly. And I invested in the brand because they did the right thing. And yeah, dudes with tattoos can get. get in but you can't have one of those big stupid flags.

Yeah, that's a, that's a hell of an improvement. Do you wear those slides in your shower at your home? No, I wear them at the office a lot. Okay. Yeah, I've worn them on set before. Right. I'm familiar with them. I just, you said shower slides.

I was wondering if there was a staff issue in your domicile or what. No, but I would put them like their shower slides. Like I really, as a 35 year old man living in Virginia, you know those slides i don't associate them with like walking around out in public with that style sandal you know what i mean i do know what you mean like that's the like if somebody walked in my house and was like are those slides i'd be like yeah shower okay somebody i wanted to impress i don't i don't wear those in in public yeah but i will because nascar banned the confederate flag so congratulations on making a bunch of bigots heads explode like clayton bigsby uh made

that guy's head explode. I'll go with a NASCAR sponsor. Yeah. Lowe's, big winner. You sit in your home all day, you find issues. A lot of people improving their homes. Man, that's brilliant.

Now, I had a bit of an unfortunate trip to Lowe's over the past few days where... Geez, what happened? Not one person... Somebody cough? Could help me find a gall-darn light bulb that I needed. Like, hey, here's a light bulb that's burnt out

I want to replace it with the same light bulb people who worked there were thrown I mean they were perplexed that you would ask something the gall wrong they couldn't find it they couldn't find it so I mean I was in there I was in the freaking

same aisle aisle 12 bays A through C for 45 minutes I also have a disorder where that stresses me out a lot when I have to go to the store and get something and it's not easy to find. And that's also a disorder that I have. And I'm slow to ask for help,

not because of any sense of pride, just because I don't want to bother somebody. And so I finally gather up the strength to go ask somebody. And it was as if it was their first time in the store as well. Yeah, that's got to be frustrating. That frustrates me.

That's on my pet peeve list. Let me go Parasite. Won an Oscar. deserved it. So that was good. Bong. Bong. Is that his name?

and bong won a million Oscars dog he was on fire yeah rightfully so he was great on stage terrific speech terrific film first uh non-english speaking uh movie i think to win best picture or something right yeah you're like right yeah i didn't see that it's your fucking entry on the list good luck yeah uh dolly pardon donated uh million dollars to covid uh funds i that's the most one of the serious ones I have. And also said that Black Lives Matter. Shocking.

I mean, there was another head explosion moment for some, I'm sure. I want to add alcohol to this list of winners. People have been

guzzling that stuff, huh? The jingle jangle and that recycling bin. Just Friday morning after Friday morning. Just if you're, neighborhood it's like every Friday it's like you're in reindeer every yeah you're right about that um Lord knows uh my lovely wife Meg loves that butter

yeah that's chardonnay uh shard got to do what you got to wife alert you know with in moderation obviously everything is better in moderation but I hear that around the country people are drinking a lot of alcohol um so I think alcohol is probably unfortunately. What else you got? Are you going to partake this evening? Alcohol. Oh, I'm going to drink a lot of alcohol. Wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And wake up tomorrow but that's really what you want to do? Hell yeah, I do and watch the New Year's Day bowls. Are those happening? Oh, I guess the playoffs tomorrow, huh? Yeah, CFP. Hey, I got Ohio beating Clemson. I love that. I was talking, I talked, you're going to hear from Stanford Steve on that just a little bit. It's, it sounds like it's going to be competitive football game from what he says okay then I'll take the tide another one

okay cool I got the tide and the bucks as well oh nice yeah all right then we'll revisit a week from now I'll probably take the tide okay uh what else you got for winners uh well piggybacking off of uh my Lowe's trip do you have LEDs all over your home suppose you can't find an incandescent bulb anymore. Yeah. And so the LEDs I guess are more energy efficient. They don't get hot. They last long time. But golly day. I got the

indoor floods, small lights, but in a sunroom, sunroom's been discussed on this podcast. And you can't help but look at them. There's no shade. And I'm going to throw some shade on the brightness of these damn LEDs. With low lumen.

The lumens are low. The lumens are appropriately low. But a big winter is LEDs because you can't find the incandescent. You can find the incandescent, but they're trying to move fully on the LED, the big, big light bulb, and rightfully so, I reckon, because we're trying to save the planet.

Planet might be a winner, you know? Planet is actually a winner this year. Planet doesn't give a fuck about us. Emissions and such. The planet's sitting down there is just like, no, no, take the mask off. Right. Take it off.

So I'm sitting in the sun. rainforests are like. I'm trying to look at the TV. I'm trying to look at the Christmas tree. I'm trying to look at the dog. Yeah. I'm trying to look around. I'm just,

LED all up in my space giving me headaches. Headaches up 2020. Rainforest just donated to Trump's super pack. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, I'll go, uh, I don't know why I have this written down. Winners,

California. No, that's a typo. Okay. What were you going for? Maybe weed? I'm not positive where I, no, cannabis is on the list. I'll skip to cannabis. Okay.

13 states now. Wow. Four new joints. Is ours one of them? Is it one of them? So that raises a question. Yeah, it does. Huh.

Never mind. Yeah. Don't worry about your fucking snitch. Fucking snitch. Hey, you know when somebody asks what my phone number is? Rat. I like to start with the area code, but I say, okay, it's 9, 1, 1, 2, 4, but the joke is, you know, you wouldn't get past the 911.

You would be calling the cops, which is what I'm going to do. The fitting joke. Right. Cannabis is a winner. This was a question I wanted to put you on the spot on. Let's say we become the 14th state. It's not a question, but you know what I'm going. Is there a question coming?

No, I was trying to put, I was trying to phrase this correctly. Please. Let me think about how I might ask you. Okay, take your time. It's only New Year's Eve. Sitting on a podcast studio. Speaking of LEDs, geez, you ever looked at them lights? You're all right, man.

Your eyes look a little red. Spots for days. Oh, I close my eyes and I just see those lights. I dare you to look at those lights. Oh, that sucks. it sucks. Would you get high? Would I get high? I mean, I don't know. I've never been really

morally opposed to it. It's really, I just don't like feeling out of control at all. But Lord knows I could use some chill. You certainly could use some chill, you know? Yeah. And I don't know if Johnny Law has really been keeping me from it either. I just, it doesn't, I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, cannabis is up right now.

And I'm hoping that it continues to be up. Okay, here you go. It's 11 at night. You think your workday is over. Yeah. It's not. An offer just came in. Holy smokes, we got to communicate it.

No pun intended. Holy smokes, we got to communicate it to the cellar right away. But oh dear, I'm Chris. I've just smoked 50 joints and I'm high. What do I do? What do you do? Yeah. You deliver.

Yeah, because you're fiduciary responsibility to the client, right? You fucking deliver. So you're like, hey, Mr. Johnson. How is that even a question? I'm worried. I'm worried about you. Oh, hey, Mr. Johnson, dude. Is that how I'm talking right now?

What I'm doing right now is delivering a podcast. Bro, Mr. Jay. I know I'm high as shit from smoking so many Jays, but an offer just came in. I thought I should totally let you know. bro. Is that how people talk when they smoke cannabis, dude? It's a wicked good offer, I think. I don't know.

All the numbers are running together, man. Wicked good. But there are Wicked good. There are so many digits. Dude, I think you should take this one. I'm going to need to sleep this off, but let me know in the morning. Sleep it off. Oh, no, I realize I haven't been on the phone. I've been holding a banana. I'm so high smoking doobies. Oh, I've, munchies. I've got the munchies.

Oh, golly. Now you eat the banana. Oh, no, I'm eating the phone. Oh, no, I'm eating the phone. The phone company is going to come after me. Now you're paranoid. Oh, God. Uh-huh.

Oh, I just hit reply. Oh, with a bunch of commas. They're just commas. Oh. Oh. Oh. So. So, yeah.

Be careful. Yeah, you're right. That's what could happen. That's why I might not be partaking, even if it is illegal. Yeah, well, I've fucked up plenty of times, dude. I've accidentally gotten high before something and been just fine. My mouth is so dry. My mouth is so dry.

What was that noise? Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. The room is spinning. And I can't perform my job. I have a fiduciary responsibility,

and yet I've been selfish and smoked my... Oh, hotbox and such, Sims and Seas. Oh. I know. Okay. Oh my God. You probably, like, grew up watching Reef or Madness, huh?

I, uh... Propaganda films. I go. Googled marijuana slang too late. Sorry. It was amazing. I'm out of winters, bro. Oh, okay.

Zoom? Except for this dank bud and bong water and such. Oh, man, I got to I got to dump out this bong water, right? So that I can

dank, man. It's dank. This diesel is dank. Are you just looking at you? You're just scrolling through through terms? Oh man. This, this

edible is fatty. Ganges. Couch! Oh, bro. I'm going to come rolling into couch. Oh my God. When I hear people say that shit.

Keefe, Kush, Kush, Keefe. Keith. Keefe now. Live resin. Respect the keef now. When you get into live resin territory, you're just out of my, like, you're a cop, man. Yeah. No, it's not a cop thing.

It's just like there's people are just bored with, with smoking regular marijuana. There's just all types of ways to do it. One hitter. Yeah, one hitter, sure. A little cigarette. You hit it once. It's like a ceramic little thing. Quartz banger?

A quarter? Residual solvent. man see this is where the real i'll educate you another time okay thank you appreciate it residual solvent yeah what is residual solvent well it's any remaining solvent contained within a god darn it i clicked on the oh like in a like in a within a concentrate post extraction and purging the FDA has very strict limits on the amount of residual solvent allow the products yeah don't say yeah if you say that you're going to definitely get beat up for being a cop yeah hello drug dealer I would like some marijuana drugs

without any residual solvent. Hold the residual solvent. Hey, hey bro. Can I get a, what do you call? What do you, if I just want a drug? I don't buy drugs on the street making.

But if I were to. A quarter? Hey man, can I get a quarter? And yeah, no residual solvent if you have any. At that point. That point, you're getting. The gentleman would be leaving.

Oh, yeah, for sure. Sure. Okay. I mean, and it's so flagrantly disrespectful to what that man's trying to do for a living. Yeah. And his intelligence. Can I get some swag? Zoom.

Roach. Zoom won big this year. As did Grubhub, as did the NBA All-Star game. That was great. Grubhub was a gna for me there for a few months where we just didn't want. You were just starving yourself because you thought Grubhub was going to just get you. Well, Right, we didn't want the person's coming to the door.

We didn't want another middleman. Yeah, but they have a nice thing where they just put it outside. Right. You know that now. But for a while we thought, you know, if you're touching the tubberware there, we could contract it. Studies have since shown probably not so much. Thanks to people like Dr. Fauci.

That's right. It was a winner. Yep. Sort of. Tough year to be a winner. Can't hook up. Losers. I've got Dr. Anthony Fauci and his gang of groupies who just all they can do is Zoom.

Yeah, they can't. You just made that up. Yeah. So your loser column is a little light. No, no, no, I got some losers. Okay, I got one. Could the Browns be losers? I mean, like, think of the ways that the football gods are trying to derail their season right now. I mean, if this happens, they don't make the playoffs, they shut down the facility today. Did you hear that yet?

I did. Yeah. If that happens, I mean, they're officially cursed. There's no way. Browns. Yeah, along those lines, I'll shout out Bill's Mafia in the event they can't fully, and they're not going to be able to fully, they can't fully participate in what could be a Super Bowl run here.

That stinks. Yeah. That would be more of a 2021 issue for them. Yep, that would be technically, but that would be such a shame. and fans are going back this weekend, but, you know, it's just not the, you can't, you can't, like, crowd, like they like to crowd around each other

and then throw each other through stuff. Yeah, warmth. Can't do that, yeah. Not right now. Loser, unfortunately, big loser was a big winner. Ain't no stop in Obie Toppin. And the Dayton Flyers were like 50 and O or some such record.

That sucked. And could not participate in the NCAA tournament because of said, pandemic. I mean, that stinks. So freaking hard to, to win one of those things, to be that good, especially when you're a mid-major. I cannot imagine. That's like a once in a lifetime thing for a school like that. Yeah. And to have a talent like that in the same year. Because you could have, you could be like an upstart team, like a mid-major, but not have that one absolute superstar. You could be just really good and evenly distributed. But they were like super marketable because they

had this guy who just every time he dunked a basketball just looked it looked spectacular and his name ron with ain't no stopping yeah you're right exactly so it's wild they were a little research here uh one final four in the school's history 1967 really yeah but 1967 i didn't know that that's roughly that's george mike in days yeah it's george mike in days yeah 80 roughly not roughly a few years give or take In the spirit of accuracy, the flyers were 29 and 2, 18 and 0 in the Atlantic 10. Good for them. Shout out to the members of that team. Actually, they're not my national champs.

I'll stick with the Hoos. Okay. Reigning champs. Okay, yeah, yeah. Hey, loser, the Hoos can't defend their championship. And they were 23 and 7, 15 and 5. Exactly. One nine in a row.

But it was nice to walk around without a shadow of a doubt and say defending champs. Correct, as we're continuing to do. As a, well, I'm not doing that right now. Oh, yeah. Well, it's a fact. Now we're playing so I can actually be ratioed for tweeting things like that. And then the next night you get slammed by the zags. It's like you're setting yourself up.

Okay, but I'll grant you that there might be a slight difference between defending and raining. But there's no question that the University of Virginia is the reigning national champion. No, you're right. Yeah. Nomenclature. Tomato. Texas football teams. They all suck.

except for, I think, one of them. There was like one of the college teams are good. Texas is back. They might have won a bowl game the other night. I'm not watching the bowl games. They're not. And I'm joking. They're not historically good.

I mean, like Texas is, they're about to fire that coach, right? Yeah. Yeah, which is weird. Yeah. Las Vegas, no draft. No grand opening of that gorgeous football field there. I still think it might be the nicest new stadium in the last five, ten years,

even over your L.A. situation that you enjoy so much. Wilcane. Wilcane, man, because I really like Wilcane. I liked Wilcane. I'm not saying I don't spend time hating Wilcane, but he was literally just talking about baseball like six months ago and then he's like on a panel

nodding next to election outcome truthers on Fox News oh really? Oh yeah yeah you didn't know where I was going with it you were like fuck we're just taking just take it

listen I just I really when I was around Will like when I met Will I thought it was super cool and nice and also I thought he was good at what he did at ESPN but I did not realize

how thin the line is, I guess. Co-host, Fox and Friends, weekends. I didn't know that. Yeah. Dry ass Pussies. There's a song this year by Cardi B. It's gone.

It's called. It's called. It's called. It's called. It's co-wap. And people were talking about it for like a month and I'd never heard it. I just nodded. I was like, okay. I don't fucking listen to the fucking radio. We're shopping for CDs at Walmart.

What kind of music do you listen to? I mean, I know it's a cool song and everything, but I just, I'm behind the times a little bit with, with, like, pop music. So, that's pop music. I,

that's an interesting. What just came out of your personal was pop music. That's interesting. That's an interesting question. Because pretty much everybody knows about the WAP after this year. You know what I mean? Right. I presume you've read the lyrics.

Yeah, I've read and heard. I've heard the song. Listen, the song is catchy, right? Reading the lyrics is a different experience, though, I would argue. For sure. Reading them aloud. For sure. But you got to admit, dry ass pussies or losers. They're not losers, but it's got to be a tough year to have that going on. it's like when

Bob Seeger released night moves and you're just a big daytime guy yeah it's just not your year yeah not your year it's tough it's tough scene

like damn tough scene obviously uh from a standpoint of enjoying games fans one of the biggest losers this year I'm not saying you're a loser

I'm just saying you lost this year and it wasn't your fault. Well, some of you. Some of you, it was your fault. Yeah. It continues to be your fault. I was going to make another one of my lists on this New Year's spectacular.

Oh yeah. And spectacular is the key word. From a fan standpoint, like, you know, like Lakers fans, they can get to enjoy that championship. Oh, except they did. Right out in front of the Staples Center. Just piles of Lakers fans

crawling all over each other. Fucking, hold on, let me give Danny Green a death threat. Now let's crawl all over each other in a pandemic after the title. I'm probably going to get a death threat now. That's how Lakers fans operate,

dude. Would you want a death threat? I've had them. I've gotten one. You've gotten a death threat? Well, you know, yeah, I mean, like, not like, I don't know, man.

What do you take a threat? You take a threat like I'll fucking kill you on the internet, like a tweet. It probably needs to have a little more substance than that. Right, exactly. That's what I'm saying I haven't gotten a death threat. But if I chose to pursue some of the borderline things that I've heard, the police would have to open a file. Yes, which that's what I'm saying, a tiki tack death threat.

I've gotten tiki tack death threats. I've gotten all Twitter? I've gotten some DMs and some, there were some voicemails. Voice mail? Not on my phone, like team phone type stuff. The teams have a phone? Like the one they use of the draft? A phone, bro.

Bill, that's with the phone that Bill was, is it a helmet phone? That's the phone that Bill was throwing the other night. It was the team phone. Gosh. The team phone. People were just calling the team phone. It's in the facility.

It's a helmet phone. They're saying that they're going to kill you. No, but like, you know, like the Malcolm Jenkins stuff or like, you know, like anything like that. That's why they were dead through the name. People tend to huff and puff about things like that. I got a message once that said, the guy said of course he's a total baby because like all right well anyways he deleted his account

after he sent it but uh he said that he was gonna he was gonna knock my teeth down uh my throat with a baseball bat in front of my kids huh and i was like oh this is interesting how this has happened you just threatened me with an action and i think now i want to do that action to you sir it's like kind of a backfire on that threat but he deleted he deleted his account when i tried to make contact with him so like i'll get things like that because you know saying things like black lives matter or black people matter you got to pay the price in your in your inbox yeah where were we i i'm afraid i can't get off the death threat thing the uh the lady or sir the front desk of the team facility with the phone the helmet phone listening to

st louis rams saying that somebody wants to kill you and then that person having to for hey chris no it's a team voicemail chris can you run up to the front desk your security guy if you really want to go like hear the voicemails that are being left on the team phone like your security guy might play them for you so like i can google i don't know i don't know if they're doing the They're calling the community relations or tickets or what. But people are just calling and it says a lot about people. I'm going to call. I'm going to call the Eagles.

Sure enough. You can call the Eagles. Philadelphia Eagles phone number right there. Should we give it out? Yeah. Let's call and threaten Lane Johnson. Let's call right now and threaten Lane Johnson. Okay.

This is going to be awesome. And then I'm going to tell Dom to check the messages. Apple's doing that thing where they make your phone not work so you'll buy a new one and they're going to get me. We should threaten Apple. Tell them, tell them the green light.

Our office is currently working from home. Tell them the Greenlight podcast is calling. And we will fuck Lane up. We'll look up a name in our directory or comment. What was the first part? I know I'm going to talk about Lane. I'm a podcaster and I will fuck Lane up. I wish we had a robot voice machine to feed it through

I probably try to hide my voice podcast yes hello I'm a different accent howdy I'm a podcaster and I'm gonna fuck up Lane Johnson for a variety of reasons so if you could please got it

yeah just say I'm gonna fuck up Lane Johnson Make sure he gets this message. Thank you. Merry, Merry, happy holiday. Happy new year. Bye. Done. Wait, can I get in trouble for that?

No, because I'll just tell Dom it was you. Okay. But you need to see you can call. Yeah, wow. You're right. And just threatened people. That was exhilarating. Great.

Now Dom's going to get a bunch of fucking calls. Shoot, but they definitely have my number. Yeah, but like you're, it's okay, dude. Lane wouldn't press charges against you. He's worried about you? I've just, I've never, I just said I was gonna fuck him up. Yeah, yeah, that's it.

Okay, I've never made a threat. No, not really. My heart is actually beating faster than usual right now. That's pretty thrilling, huh? Should we call more teams? No, no, it's not calling more teams. I got my New Year's Eve set off. Yeah, we're not kidding.

She's calling teams. Stupid celebrity songs, like the ones that people got to, together on and like imagine and stuff like that. I thought that didn't go over real well. Yeah, that occupied about 30 seconds of my 2020. People didn't like that. I'm just telling you what the people were talking about.

March Madness and St. Patty's Day. That was the hardest first drive of a game. If the year was a game, that would be like your franchise QB being out for the game. first play, but his head exploded. Right. If the year started. Just, just, he just incinerated. If the year started in mid-March,

if it's the whole year, this is more like, you know, end of the first quarter. Yeah, I'm just saying, like the pandemic with sports. I mean, like, if, if the game was sports versus viral pandemic, came in a bad time. Well, no, it's just,

they took my favorite thing first. the germs. Therefore, came out of bad time, you might say. Terrible time. Okay. Terrible time.

But they made that statement off the bat and St. Paddy's Day too. Yeah. So it was like, that was a terrible three weeks. This, I swear to you,

I will never forget deleting from my calendar, my computer calendar, which I go to every day, deleting Selection Sunday was devastating. It's also funny

to me that you had to delete it. Well, yeah. Like you're not going to know anyways that like when you look at your calendar that... I'd like to go back in years past see what was doing. You are an organized dude.

Well, I mean, you know, you just see not much in 2020 as you see, but you can go back in your records here. Boston lost. Yeah. And they've had a great run. But Mookie Betts, they traded him away a couple years ago.

Dodgers win the World Series and a guy named Tom Brady leaves and now you don't make the playoffs although I do think they're going to be good again very soon but the C's and the Bs lost in the playoffs as well and the Bs just lost Zedano Chara

you know what's happening with Zadano Chara he's literally building up his alibi next thing you know after the Washington Capitals he's come south from Boston he's just he's going to play for some Richmond hockey team that we never heard of, some semi-pro. Like people are going to be like, what's going on with Zadena O'Chara?

They put him in the G-League and he's going to be in Richmond. He just gets closer and closer until one day just walks in and wrecks all our shit. I have located the phone number for the Washington Capitals. Yeah? Nah. We're not calling the Capitals. We're really not calling any teams. Well, we really did just call the Eagles.

Well, that's not, I mean, I have, I know people there. Can you not forget to tell them that that was you? I won't forget. You're just going to have to remind me to put it on your calendar. Okay. Um, Megacast was a loser or maybe I, you know the megacast. It's the thing where somebody's getting interviewed. It's a podcast being, cutting the size of the picture of the game in half on ESPN, right?

Right. I think it's been around for a while. Curious to hear. How long has it been around? Years. Megacast. Yeah. In the format that they were doing on Monday night.

football this year. Oh, oh, maybe not. I'm thinking of like national championship game where they have like the coaches roundtable on one channel. They've got all 22 on a no, yeah, yeah, but no, no, no, Megacash. You're thinking of something something ESPN's been doing this year where, you know, you'll see like they bring an Ian book to talk over like a game that's going on. Or, you know, one night I was watching the Raiders and the Saints play football and they had the mega. cast on and there's on for like two three quarters and I'm like what the fuck is going on here I'm like even like telling my lovely wife meg like as if the remote's broken I'm like get this megacast off the screen and you were on the main channel they had dabbo Sweeney on and all these people and I'm freaking out next thing you know I realize I'm on ESPN too yeah yeah but I didn't enjoy it yeah we need to we want a picture and picture we'll hit the button ourselves yeah yeah mega cast While the holiday season may be winding down, the sports calendar is in full swing this week.

That doesn't bode well for the outlook in 2021 personally. But let's start here. Ozarks coming back. My alarm just went off. Your alarm just went off. I can't talk with your alarm going off. Let me see. I have an audio disorder. Misophonia. It says remind Chris to tell the Philadelphia Eagles that I was joking about fucking up Lane Johnson. Are you good? Can you set that for an hour from now? Sure. Sure. That'd be great. If I'm still sitting here, I swear to God.

You swear to God? No, I don't swear to God. I take that back wholeheartedly. So you just lie? No, I, I, how many of the deadly sins are you willing to commit? What's next? Smoking the reefer with all that talking you were doing about residual bong water?

Huh. You're a bad man, dude. My 2021 wish list is for you to get right with God. Okay. Thank you. You need to go into one of those confession booths if you ask me. Okay, my first item on the wish list, I just saw this the other day. Ozarks coming back.

That's tight. 327 on cue. That's in between my friends, Meg and Chris's birthdays. Yep. It's the day sandwich in between. So 327, kill Jason Bateman's wife, Laura Lennie. That's a wish. Yeah, in the show.

I want them to get rid of her ASAP. Oh. Who is that? Laura Lenny. Laura Lenny. Yeah. Yeah. Great actress.

Man, her character. And she does a great job of portraying what they, what they're asking her to portray. But the way they have it written every time, like the condescension and the assumption that her bullshit is working on everybody that she, like, you know, when she kind of sits down, crosses her hands on her lap, leans in. and then like tells you why you should give her your casino for free. And you're like, oh yeah, like everybody on the show just like, yeah, oh yeah, absolutely. Kill her.

I like her. You like her, you would. She'd probably sit down across from you. Next thing you know, your fucking real estate license would be in her back pocket. My broker's license actually just came in the mail. It's like a nice, it's like suitable for framing. Not going to frame it. Eyes on the prize.

Smoke the hot leaf. you gotta shred that shit. Don't rest on your laurels. I'm not smoking the hot leaf. Well, with some of the slang you were, now I've got audio of you talking like that. You can blackmail the fuck out of you out of context. I can cancel this entire podcast,

wipe it clean from the internet, retain you talking like that, and blackmail you for your commission. That might not be so bad. I might wind up better suing you than I would on the street slang and crib, you know? Just counter sue.

That's what we do. We just counter sue. What else do you wish for? You haven't said anything. I wish for a million things. I never thought I'd say this, Chris. What? No more instant replay.

Now, if that's a bridge too far, here's a deal. We're not going to look at any monitors. You got a guy in your ear anyway. There's a replay official in every booth, in every stadium, in every arena. that person looks at it. If at 30 seconds, we don't have something to change the call.

Call stands. 30 seconds. You're not running 80 yards down the field to put your head into a monitor. These reviews, these timeouts, these longer games, ain't so good. I'm good with human error

and letting things forward with them. Let me tell you something about that, though. Replay is good for the league. I'm just telling you why. Even though we hate it, It's like a heel in a fucking wrestling match and a wrestling match. I like that point. It's it's it's something that gets people talking about the game.

If you take that away, you'll lose three minutes of millions of people on the internet arguing over a call, complaining about the refs, complaining about Roger Goodell, complaining about the rules, etc. Not to mention the three minutes of ad revenue you get while we step aside while we review the call. Exactly, dude. No, I'm with you there. It's 2021, for goodness sake. Let's put a chip in the football. That's on my list for 2021. Chip in the football.

Yeah. That would be great. But it would be part of me that would hate, hate losing the romantic idea of watching a measurement. Yeah. I never want to lose watching a measurement. That could be. Hopping over the chains.

Well, just, yeah, like them running out and shit. and like the pulling and people like looking in and and being like he's not pulling far enough he's not pulling far no they're slack they're slack like dude that's part of the show man and you know the two dudes on the chain gang are terrified that they are going to fall on national tv that is when i think when when there's a review that's when the chip in the football is used okay for a mundane measurement i think that's a romantic part of football that should never go away and you can call me old man or purists. I love that shit.

That's fair. Can you imagine that guy holding the chain? You know, probably sits behind a desk Monday through Friday. And definitely has to piss with regularity because they're usually older gentlemen. Yeah. You imagine having to hold the chain.

These guys have got to be wearing bladder bags or something, bro. Where are they pissing? You ever think about where the referees are taking leaks? Well, they've got half time. I know, but that's not enough time. Yeah. it is. What are they doing? Dehydrating themselves like prize fighters so they don't pee? It's one of my gifts, I must say. I can have a full pee and I can hold it. Yeah, I've been holding

my pee on this podcast for a while, but there's also the ability to cut. You can't cut trying to figure out if Des caught it. Right. Nice reference. I'm in the mindset of we can't cut, you know. I guess I'm just more devoted. My name's not on the show. Oh, maybe we should think about that. putting your name on the show yeah okay see you laugh yeah we'll put we'll put it on good news though we're getting some new pot art you're on it really yeah so that's you feel good about that yeah that's sick that's not like when i lied to you about sending a christmas present and didn't show up and then i just got the marzip pan this is really something that's in the works do you know it's sad this is this is sad what i i literally did open the the front door to see if anything had arrived on the 26th

I do want to point out, and I'm sorry that that happened to you. That's really sad. I wasn't sad, but the fact that I did that is sad. Well, when I told Matt, it is a little sad. Yeah, yeah. Especially that, and that's a, we're about to get into the mailbag in a second. Somebody asked for you a sociopath. That's kind of sociopathic there.

Me? To give me a quarter of a bottle of fucking shampoo and body wash now. No, no, no. Shampoo and conditioner. The problem was it wasn't body wash. but I got it yes it's listen it's been it's been a long two weeks okay and you expected a real present rather than feeling guilty as fuck that I'm getting you a real present and you got me shampoo yeah right that is actually crazy I just realized oh is it oh yeah boss run back the tape you've said no I actually

got you something it's in the mail it's coming either 24th or 26 and call me an idiot I believed you I know, but instead of feeling intense guilt, you felt, once my present getting here? Well, I would have judged it. Knowing you, it would have been something dumb, like respectfully. Yeah, yeah, no problem. And it got later in the day of the 26th. I'm like, oh, it's probably here.

Unlock the front door. Open the door. Goose egg. So instant replay, we have concerns. I respect your wish there and you got to respect mine. It's pretty reasonable, I think, the nostalgia. You can maintain the nostalgia. All right.

But. Fuck. Nah, not like that. Not like that. Nah. I said, but, which is a... What is but? Reposition?

I'm forgetting words. Reposition. No. But is not a... It's a conjunction. Conjunction. Conjunction. Conjunction.

Conjunction. Yeah. What's your function? But... You didn't watch any of that stuff. as a kid, did you? Nah. And then I said,

budge, because I know we're trying to get, get through some of this. In the last, like, week, they're putting the pylon

on the far stick. So you have a cam. You have a pylon cam going and shooting down. And that's great. That's great, but it's not perfect. I mean,

like, it doesn't help me if the pylon cam is literally, what, 27, 81 feet away from you. In the middle of the field. You know what I mean?

it could be about 80 feet away from you. Okay. So like, what does that help? You know, it's cool. It's gimmicky. Okay. It also helps, I think, as well. Like the pylon cam helps with the entertainment factor.

Maybe there's some entertainment value to people just running over the guy who has to take a piss and is 61 years old and gets hit by three football players. And we all see it on the camera. You're like, how terrifying would that be? You just go to the fucking sticks cam. I wish for 2021 that the Washington, football team stays the Washington football team. As much as I don't like the organization,

I think that is a sick. It's classy. Sick name. Stately. And it stands out and you're unique and it makes all the sense in the world. I think it's awesome. It has gotten totally normal to say the Washington football team. Yeah.

WFT always looks like WTF. Yeah, which is kind of fun and all of it works. All of it works. Unis are great. Unis are really good, really good, almost great. Yep. Okay, that's one. Okay. This is well-trodden path here, Chris, but the cards, there is on the Cardinals, new Unis.

Absolutely. Saw some 90s footage of them this morning. Thought about that. Hit delete on the piping. Yeah, if you will. Pipe it down a little bit. That's right. And Derek Henry, I'd like to see a third consecutive rushing title.

Let's just keep, let's keep doing this. Let's keep running. Let's keep running. You know, your guy, Stan Van Buren, had three straight. Yeah, my guy in Philly. In the 40s. He's in Philly, right? Yeah.

Yeah, he's on the wall in the meeting room, and I used to look at those guys in their dramatic poses, just like holding their arms out, like ballerinas with no helmets on. That's how they took the field with no fucking helmets on. I just sit there in meetings and be like thinking about how sore I was, and I wouldn't feel sorry for myself because I saw a fucking 60-foot picture of Stan Van Buren. Right. And at the same time, could Stan Van Buren,

could Steve Van Buren take a hit from a Fletcher Cox? I'm not sure, dude. I'm just not sure. I mean, all due respect to those cats. I mean, they're probably tremendous people. But a Fletcher Cox is not walking around on that field. Jim Brown had three straight rushing titles in the 50s, and then again in the 60s, Earl Campbell in the 70s,

Emmett Smith in the 90s, nobody since Emmett. So let's go Derek Henry three in a row. I'd like to see Clemson implode. Yes. Okay. Give me another one. For me, because of dabbo, it was kind of made one of them heel turns, if you will. When was the turn?

Hey. For a little, for like a half second there, he was happy go lucky, a little dabbo, special teams coach, turn head coach. Open up your third eye, bro. Soccer. Soccer to supplant baseball. Ooh. As I don't know. We got a large baseball contingency on here, buddy.

The people upstairs are going to call. I am the people upstairs. Okay. I am calling. Okay, then let me fix baseball if we're going to keep baseball. Okay? Yeah. Bat flips in a big way.

Yeah. Let's just, let's talk smack. Let's flip bats. I got one for you. Yeah. I got one for you. Yeah. I got one for you.

Yeah. Each player has a personal home run UTV that they drive around the infield when they hit a dinger. You choose, you know, like you could have a canam with flames on the side. You could have just a regular old four-wheeler, a camo four-wheeler, and they got to bring it out. and you ride that fucker around the bases every time you get a home run. Whoever it is. So where's the garage that's parking?

They got the money to do this. They get Zamboni's onto an NHL ice field. Rink. Rink. And on the baseball fields, fuck, they get those big tractors out there. There's room for these vehicles. Put them in a side lot.

Somebody hits a dinger. Just have them on standby. That's good. That'd be dope. That's good. And stop throwing at people, too. No retribution, all right? Just speak your mind, talk your noise.

I got a rule. If you throw at somebody, they stop the shit. Nobody comes out. And you got to deal with the guy at the plate. Stop throwing at people when you know all your fucking friends are coming out there. Right. That fake baseball tough guy shit is unbelievable. Unbelievable.

You're right. You throw at somebody, which is fine. Like I get the throwing, like I love that part of the game. There's some, there's, I don't know, sometimes I don't like what you're punishing people for in the unwritten rules. Like, oh, he looked at the ball. Hey, let's write out the rules. Okay. Write them out.

Yeah, because when you don't write them, then people don't know what they are sometimes. No more mountain visits. Batter stay in the box. Speed this guy up. Hey, do you think you know why you're not throwing strikes? A little bit. Hey, um, hey, we got them, okay? Feel good?

Feel good? Plenty of pitches left. Hey, hey, just do you. Worry about you, okay? I don't want you... In the flow, in the flow, flow state. I don't want you thinking about the bases being loaded with nobody out, up three.

Try the curveball. Hey, let's hit on. Hey, let's switch the signals, all right? A, B, AB. That's what they do. We can eliminate that. I don't even need to hear the mic'd up. That's exactly the conversation that's going on.

David Tepper, I know you got a lot of money. There's no need for you to listen to a guy like me. I will donate $5,000 to a charity of your choice if you do not build an indoor stadium. And you're talking about building a beautiful stadium. And that's your right. And you've worked hard. I hear you're a down-to-earth guy.

This is a down-to-earth podcast. We will donate 5,000 beans. and you got plenty of beans, but these are hard-earned beans on the backs of terrific content that we produce. We will donate $5,000 if you build a pristine outdoor stadium

with your fingerprint on it. Tell the people where? In the Queen City. In the Queen City. And Mr. Tepper, if I will, if I could, if I might, I love your football team. I think you made a terrific hire

in Matt Rule. Teddy Bridgewater is a classy, classy individual as is Christian McCaffrey very marketable just don't build like no more indoor stadiums football is it's going fake grass it's going indoor I don't care how many fucking windows you put it I don't care how many windows you put on it it's not a porch when it's a sunroom okay it's it's not a backyard if there's a biodome over it's not outside you can't outside an indoor stadium LA included That is an indoor stadium.

No more. We're done with this shit. Hoops, I want to fill out a... In North Carolina, dude. There is no... There's no better climate for a football game. All right.

Get four seasons, North Carolina. Get all of them. It's smack in the middle. It's right on the equator of America. Damn. I'm gonna pull up America. I think you're speaking of North America. You're probably speaking of the US of A.

Yeah, America. I want to fill out of... I want to fill out a bracket. I don't care if you're bubbled. I don't care if you're flying around to 16 different sites. I think there may be only eight. I just want to fill out a bracket. Oh man, I can't wait.

2021. Can't wait. Bart Scott.gif, uh, Jiff, whatever you say, tomato tomato. I want to see Carson Wentz on the move if he's not going to be, uh,

if he's not going to be well received coming back in Philly. For what I, like in Jalen, Jalen Hertz has done plenty to, uh, to make a case. for him playing next year. I've been the first one to tell you that,

but I do think Carson is somewhere like San Francisco or Indy. Indy, though, doesn't have a lot of draft picks. I was thinking about that, actually. That might be the biggest problem there. They gave up a one to get Buckner. So we'll see. Ryan Fitzpatrick, who I'm also wishing well because he has COVID,

I want to see him as a New England patriot. Nice. Nice. I want to see the hoodie and Ryan Fitzpatrick talk about a reverse heel turn. That fucking place, would reverse heel turn so fast. You wouldn't even know what hits you.

You'd start loving the Patriots. More so than Stafford, which is the name everybody's talking about. People would like Stafford, but people would love Ryan Fitzpatrick because it's so, it's so anti-bill, but it's also Boston,

Harvard, brilliant, cerebral. I think he needs to be tamed. I don't think Fitzmagic has ever had a coach that could match him intellectually. And there's only one guy that can match him intellectually.

Actually. Serious question, how much does Bill work on the offense? Work on the offense. Not a lot, but I'm just doing a thing. Yeah. I mean, Josh McDaniels is probably going to be gone. Probably going to convince somebody that, you know, he's a head coach, which be very well, maybe. You might want to keep him in the building.

Oh, for one so far. Might want to keep him in the building. Oh, for two, really, yeah. Well, the game never really started there. I don't know what's going to happen offensively there, but I do think, like, you know, Like, he's a gunslinger, dude. You know, like there's, you got to fear something. He doesn't fear on the field outcomes.

With a coach like that, I think he'd look at it and say, like, I'll cut the turnovers down a little bit, like for this guy. I'm not gonna, I'm not peeing on Bill's rug, dude. You know what I mean? Tennis. Yeah. Maybe the first mention of the sport on this particular show. 2021 wish list

my wish is for Roger Federer to get another grand slam of course he's pulled out of the Aussie open two knee surgeries in the offseason fed maybe my favorite athlete of all time all due respect yeah no problem

I'd like to see him get another you know are you my are you my you're my favorite I don't know but I was bummed when he pulled out of the Aussie open yeah are you doing one of those things No, it was a bummer, dude. I wanted to see him in the doll and McEnroe and Sampras.

All right, so you got Fed and Adol. If you can name two more tennis players, I'll give you everything in my wallet. Is that right? Yeah. Two more. Two more. Playing now. You don't have much in your wallet right now.

That's the catch, but. That's rude. Well, no, I'm just, you wouldn't offer me a wallet full of cash because obviously I'm going to get this. Okay, you got fed, you got Nadal. You insulted me. There's a guy who, please. There's a guy who people think he's kind of like a spoiled brat a little bit.

That's right. There's a lot of fits. Yep. Where's bright colored clothes on the court? Okay. So I think we can keep going here. What were the tennis players you said? The two you said were Roger Federer and Rafah Nadal.

the one you're trying to come up with is Andre Agassi remember when he was dating Brook Shields and you're looking for Novak Djokovic The Joker Yeah I just forgot about him that's all Yeah one more in you?

I didn't want anything I don't want what's in your wallet man Let's do mailbag Okay Mail time mail time mail time mail time Johnny Waffles asks what current non-playoff teams will be in next year.

Do you have one? Yeah, I got three. New England Patriots. We also on my list as well. Los Angeles Chargers. Also on my list as well. New York Giants. Ooh, you know, she just missed it.

Okay. Did you hear what they said about Danny Dimes? Ah. That's probably going to be around. Well. That affects your list? Bro, he threw for like... I actually don't.

I don't hate Danny Dimes. I just think he's a turnover guy. You threw for two. 250 and a touchdown against Baltimore, no turnovers, and he was clearly hobbled. Okay, listen, listen, he's been one guy that I have thought. People have kind of given up on quick. I'm not, I don't want to get into the day. Talking quarterbacks, like talking religion.

Joe Judge By-in, Giants, playoffs. If not this year, the next year. I'll go Niners. Okay. Okay. Yeah, Niners. And we've been hard on Niners, but you've got to figure out what to do with Trent, Ben Garland, Jason Verrett,

whose name I always struggled to say, is it Vare, Verrett? What is it? It's Verrett. Yeah, it's Barrett. So we got it right the first time. But if I was a play-by-play guy, I would be fucking terrified to say that name.

The Sports Center anchor's Verret, but this cat's Verret. So yeah, Verrette. So I would be, I'd be up in the booth and I'd be like, and the quarterback with the big tackle. It happens often. You see that a lot?

Oh, yeah. Oh, boy. I don't know stuff like that sometimes. Not in my booth. My booth has every name. Yeah, because you're spotting it out. Down Pat. Hey, I do think they can make the right moves at the right positions

because I trust John Lynch and I trust Kyle, man, at this point. And I think they're going to upgrade at QB. So I think Jimmy's going to be cut. And I think he's going to end up in New England. So I do think New England will stabilize and go back to the playoffs, possibly. the only thing that in New England that scares me is the division. You know what I mean? Like it's not what it was.

Yeah. So all of a sudden it's good. And, you know, Jimmy would be a big upgrade because Cam is not healthy, you know, but also the irony of trading, not trading, but, you know, in a sense of, you know, who you're rolling out there, trading Cam for Jimmy is that Jimmy hasn't stayed healthy. So I don't know if that ensures you anything except for maybe more stable quarterback. play. Nineers, a bunch of their guys are under contract. You get Ford, Armstead, Kittle, Mostert, McGlenshy, they're all back. And the Rams are going to take a step back too. So

they just beat the cars at full strength. And they have a bunch of injuries. So they'll be back chargers as well. If Sala leaves, is that doing anything to the win loss? I think it does. I mean, it'll affect them, but they're well enough coach football team. And I trust, it's like, it's like I said, with B-Flow, until you prove me otherwise, like I can trust your decision-making. And so when in doubt, I trust them. Chargers, the reason against it would probably be a Herbert transition, like learning a new system.

But, callie, nobody thought he'd learned shit this first year. And he's like Joe Montana out there or something with a stronger arm. Well, shoot, in this year two for Josh Allen? I mean, yeah, exactly. Some dudes take that next step. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, like, I think Herbert, man, he'll be a guy who will thrive under whoever they hire because they're going to get exactly whoever they want.

Like, they're going to get the hottest name, one of them offensively. If you want somebody, that quarterback right there is going to get you, you know, your pick because that's something awesome to work with. and charges got pretty much all their key dudes back. Some unrestricted free agents would be Hunter Henry. They got to take care of him. And Melvin Ingram. But he's been hurt all year.

And they got like Bosa under contract, Alan, Echler. So their window's open, man. And that's the pressure of making the next decision because the window with the QB on a rookie deal, the time is now. Dylan asks Last year it was Derek Henry Who is this year's

Scary Playoff non-QB Devante Adams That was my guy Yeah He might be my MVP Oh I don't know about that Are you saying Are you like saying

Because it unlocks your ability To get the most out of Aaron Rogers I'm saying Without Inherently he's more valuable Without TAY Adams Yeah Rogers clearly doesn't have the

the yardage or TDs. I mean, if you had to choose between taking one of those two players off the team, that's how I interpret the ruling there. Yeah. You'd never get rid of a quarterback. That's why it's like QB of the year. Right.

I'm kind of just being contrarian. He's the offensive player of the year. Yeah. You know, depending on who you ask. Okay. So, and there haven't been a lot of receivers that have won that award. When Mike Thomas won it,

he was the first in a long time. So, yeah, I think, I think Devante because not just how good he is, but if he was in the AFC, I don't know if I haven't looked corner for corner, but in the NFC, who are the dominant corners?

The Rams are awesome, but the Rams are going to be out early if they're in it all. So listen, I don't want to discount them, but you got to back up quarterback playing right now. So it's going to be hard, and this ain't Nick Foles right now, okay? So who's going to stop this cat? as he runs through the NFC playoffs like shit through a goose.

Nice. That's my answer too. Under the radar, Miles Gaskin just kind of like puts up 150 yards and two TDs every single week he plays. Two dudes for the football team, Gibson and McLorn if they get healthy and if they make the playoffs. Chiefs, you know, Travis Kelsey can change a game.

Tyree Kill can change a game. But yeah, Tay Adams. A viral tweet asks Recast an entire movie with Muppets. Keep one actor role. I love this question so much. This is one of the greatest questions I've ever heard.

I'd ask you what the Muppets were. Not like 100% seriously, but just like I missed that in my childhood. But then I started- Missed the Muppets in your childhood. Yeah, but then I started to like list them better than you could. Like Miss Piggie, Kermit.

I just, I have in my head when you say Muppets, It's the first thing I'm thinking of is Kermit. So you can cast these movies with whatever kind of Muppets you want. And yet when I said, you just said, I just think of all the frogs. Yeah, Kermit. Right, one. There's one problem.

But I'm in the context of what we're discussing here. I think of. Okay. Snuffle. Is it? Snuffel. Ophagus? I think.

Okay. Blood sport. I haven't seen it. Keep John Claude Van Dam. Okay. You'd just be fighting a bunch of Muppets in like a, in like, temple. I think that's the right answer.

To the death. Yeah. Yep. That's not the only answer. No, no, no. That's the right formula of a serious, badass-re type thriller surrounded by Muppets. Jaws. Keep the shark.

Yeah. I keep going and maybe I'll have seen one of these. Holy shit, though. I wish somebody was here. Reed, you get the, read. That shit would be crazy. We're talking about the Muppets, Jaws would be sick because Jaws would just jaws chewing on Muppets

like cranberry juice in the water, bro. We're going to need a bigger boat. Muppets have blood? I think they do. Cool. Would they not? Stuffing. Stuffing all through the water.

But I mean, it's a movie where Muppets are walking around. You can't take one more liberty and give them blood. What are you talking about? Hey, you're the director. Yeah, you're right. I am. Alien. Sigourney Weaver.

Didn't she give birth to an alien in that movie? I don't know. You haven't seen that movie. No, haven't. Isn't it? Sigourney? However you say it. Okay.

Try seeing one of her movies and then tell me. I mean, but a Muppet, giving birth to a Muppet in just in horror. You've seen that scene, though, right? Where the alien comes out of people's stomachs in that movie. No, bro. Jeez, dude. Usual suspects.

I've seen the film. Kevin Spacey. Just make it totally conspic. just massively conspicuous. Who could it be? It's the one human being. What else you got for me? Well, not much, Chris.

How about the Shining? Yeah, I thought about that one. That's a really good one. Psycho. That's also a good one. Lady in the shower. She's about to get stabbed, right? Yeah.

Muppet in the shower. Shawshank. Keep Tim Robbins. Tim Robbins getting roughed up in the shower by a bunch of Muppets. That's good. Just like in terror. Who's this Morgan Freeman, Kermit, probably?

Yeah, I suppose, but I'm really just thinking about that. It's not funny, but it is. Stallone, first blood. It's the first Rambo movie. It's just him on a mountain.

They're all trying to overtake the mountain, bro. It's one of the best movies of all time. Unbroken. It's a movie about a prison camp. Just getting smacked around by, Muppet for 96 days. A bunch of Muppets coming in and give you water.

Muppets walk around guarding a camp that you can't get out of. But it's run by Muppets. I mean, that would be the biggest mind fuck. Would it not? Yeah, I like it. I like the formula, the template. I don't remember who the actor was.

Whiplash. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh. It's on your list too. No. What? I watched Whiplash Christmas Night.

Is it great or is it great? It's great. Here's how I would characterize it, Chris. It's a psychological thriller. Who are you keeping? Because I know this film. We can talk turkey on this film. We're keeping J.K. Simmons.

Okay. He's just smacking around a Muppet because he can't play a fucking instrument. Yeah. Our boy, Miles did a great job in that movie. Yeah. Friend of the program. Right. Yeah.

Damn. That's a great movie, dude. J.K. Simmons from Missoula, Montana. Supposedly a really sweet person, like really nice person. All of his roles, I just feel like he's just scary. Yeah, good actor then.

Done getting scary than beating up a bunch of Muppets. Right, right, right, right. Not playing music well. American Pie, Keep the Dad. Eugene Levy. He walks into the Muppet fucking a Pie. Chris. Come on.

50 shades of gray. Keep the dude. I haven't seen. it, but I get it. I get where your head is. It's the silliest shit in the world. Just flying around a Muppet on your stupid black helicopter. You fucking dork.

You get it. You have a lot of money and you have a sex addiction. Cool, man. Fucking great movie. It's awesome. Willis asks, commercialize a minor holiday. That's a good one.

Yep. On three. Same time. because I think we might have the same holiday. One, two, three, groundhog day. Holy shit. What's up, bitch? Wow.

What is that? That's money. That's dollar bill. So my list is a bunch of words that my dad actually still uses as if. He says frog skins. Yes. You don't say duckets? Nah, he says frog skins.

A jacket is a wrap. Your shoes are your bottoms. that right he's just yeah yeah I want to bring something from over the pond I'm chuffed to bits don't know what that is yeah when you're chuffed it's uh you're pumped that's awesome that's great I'm happy you know what I like saying tickled to death yeah I love when a good old boy says that tickles me to death you know just that that means it's funny yeah no I know yeah I'm just for the people at home yeah because there are people listening this podcast a lot of them were like what? Right, right. That's a good one. Twanstick asks, are buffets going away and do you trust them?

Maybe they're not. I'm sure people will say they're dead, but they might stick around because you got to think about it. Like I don't think, go ahead. Bro, last I checked, the sneeze guard was in place. Ain't nothing getting through that sneeze guard. Exactly, dude. And I also think people are really classist when they deal with buffets. I think they're really like, uh, like, oh,

well, I paid $9 to get in this buffet. So the germs I'm going to get are worse. Like, but at Whole Foods, I'll stand in line and get a deviled egg from a hippie that some guy was fumbling over right in front of me. Like put the wooden spoon back,

the whole nine yards is this whole foods or the Whole Foods buffet. But Wood Grill buffet. Woodgur, well, I'm above wood grill buffet. Yeah, a hotel room like breakfast buffet. Yeah. Hotel room.

Continental breakfast. Yeah. Like that can get classy a. Yeah. It can. People try to class up continental breakfast is like a little hard sometimes. I'm a little bit like judgmental on a continental breakfast spread. I mean, but if you do it nice and then you're taking it back to a white tablecloth, like,

I don't like the white tablecloth. Just make a utilitarian. Acknowledge the fact that we're working on a budget. If you're the econolog, which I don't know if they have a continental. breakfast or not, don't try to make yourself, you know, the Romada. You're the Econolodge. Lean into it. Utilitarian. Be the hipster of continental breakfasts. Breakfasts. Also, I think I put more stress on the buff and buffet than you do. You're kind of going buffet. Oh, buffet, yeah, yeah. I'm kind of saying buffet. Do you remember when we used to go

to Wood Grill buffet before, well, I'm using we, but I don't know, like you came out there. So we're just fine with it was a football team thing Right Football thing So this is the so our high school football team Used to go to Woodgirl buffet the night before every game And we used to just crush like just Cheap steak and

And watermelon and like just all types of stuff Fried foods and then go out in the parking lot And sit in the back of the pickup truck and pack dips That's all true And that was behind China King buffet which was an industrial-sized Chinese food buffet. This is a buffet complex. I read some tips for eating at a buffet,

Jimmy Buffet. You ever hear him? Yeah, Margaritaville. Cheeseburger. Yep, in Paradise. I went to a concert with Jeff Fisher of my man, Jimmy Buffett, Jimmy Buffet.

Here's a tip, though. turn the mashed potatoes over, kind of mix it up, get the ones in the back, whatever's been the surface, kind of turn it over and get the underneath. Oh, I always go with the untouched territory in a buffet, yeah. Yeah, but you want to mess it up and get under it. Okay, fair. You don't do that? No, no, no, yeah, I do.

Okay. The buffet I most frequent would be a Scott Stadium press box buffet, and I'm always, you know, everybody digs from the front. Shout out to that staff up there. Oh, yeah. They're the best. Love those guys, man. And gals up there that run the show.

This is what it's said to stay away from at buffets. Quote, items that have expressed their liquids into the container in which they are stored. Seems like a lot of things I've eaten in buffets over the years. I mean, so if there's any juice under the item, I got to watch out, right? It also says to stay out of the danger zone, 40 degrees. to 140 degrees. What if you brought a fucking meat thermometer to the buffet, bro? And you were just like, hmm, this cutlet looks good and just slam it in there.

I think that's a violation. I think that's a curb season 11 episode. It absolutely is. Guy brought a meat thermometer to the Woodgrove buffet. Yeah. Also, raw buffets are out, evidently. You know who I used to go eat at a sushi buffet on 29 on the other side of 29. So southbound, wood grill and-

We have other things in this town, by the way. Yeah, we have other things other than like things that used to be bowling alleys in are now buffets and like sushi buffets. We have upscale buffets as well. We do, very good ones. Shout out to brunch at Fitzroy. Right.

Yeah, can't wait until that gets going again. I don't know if brunch is going. Hey, go to Fitzroy and see whether or not the brunch is going. And tell us. Yeah. But yeah, I went to a China King buffet or sushi king, whichever it was on the southbound side, with my old college drink coach, Matt Bayless.

Remember him? We literally, it would be like three of the biggest meatheads on the team, the strength coach would take us. Of course, it wasn't like a violation. He didn't pay for our food. But he would take us to a sushi king buffet. Happy New Year. Good night.

See you Sunday. Take care. Take care. Take care.
