And this, I don't even know what sport this was. We're doing better, but shout out to Salavotte, Yulavov, Ufa, H.C. Sochi, and A.K. Bars Kazan for coming through on that three-teamer.

I'm telling you, you're in like the dark web of Winbet. Minus 2.29. It's not even good stuff here. You're going to accidentally buy heroin. 3-team parlays with like Maccabi. I think it's hockey. Breckenridge, Colorado.

People get drunk up there in Breckenridge. God damn, we got the frights. These fucking guys. They sit in the chair for two seconds. So we got cowboy reading it. People get drunk in Breckenridge. Which is insane to me. It's like they do all types of drugs up there.

It's like high. How high is it, guys? Cowboy. The town's probably like five or six thousand feet, but you go to the peak. It's like 11. Yeah. People are up there in the little condos getting all buzzed. We had other plans for hello. And then there was a mention of ski lodges. But there was shouting. And there was a crunch off in the back. They were arguing over ski lodges. Yeah. And I said, save it. We got to save this for the open. It started because we were talking about snow and how long like will it take for it to snow here in Charlott's. versus out in Colorado. We were getting excited. We started talking about ski resorts around here. So Taylor skis, too.

He's crunchy too? He's crunchy. Oh, both people. Oh, I love skiing, man. There was an argument as to whether or not skiing is crunchy. No, skiing's crunchy. That's what I said. Crunchy as hell.

But it's also bougie. It's bougie, but it's also crunchy. There's like a boogie crowd that hits the slopes, and I think there's a differentiation between that crowd and like the crunch dudes. And I think that's why Reed prefers Vail because, you know, more the boosy option. Bucke. Brick and Ridge is not the bougie. No. Vail is the crunchy version because it has the largest amount of terrain, skibble terrain, I think, in Colorado.

I think they've got, it goes, you do a ski lift up and then down and then up and then down. You can go back like five or six mountain ranges. Bro, Vail is where like businessmen from Tokyo get condos, I feel like. It's bougie as hell, dude. I mean, any of the Colorado resorts are bougie. If you want to go to like Red Lodge, Montana. any of the Cordillane resorts I was just spit

No the real argument was I said out of the major Resorts in Colorado Breckenridge was the best it's not as bougie as Vale. Vail might have more terrain but there's better terrain and more powder in a lot of ways than Breckenridge from what I hear. Breckenridge there's too many people there's so many people you're just standing in line

all that. Let's just settle this shit right now guys what's Chowder called I pulled up a website that has all the slang terms for um they have slang You don't even need to shorten some of these terms. Like it's longer to say the slang terms, so you know this is a crunchy pastime when you make up a bunch of, like a whole vernacular.

Okay, chowder, what does chowder mean? Chowder, chowder is powder. No, but it's not just powder, read. Like real, not fine like champagne powder, but a little chunkier, it's a little beefy, it's like mashed potatoes. Well, it's because people have been down the, it's skiing. Well, he left that out.

I'll give that to read, so one nothing read. Okay, what are French fries? French fries is when you're skiing, You want to, if you pizza before you french fry, you're going to have a bad time. Oh, listen to this man. Cowboy reads on this shit, dude. All right, hold on. Let me read you what it says on the website.

French fries skiing with your skis parallel to each other, the opposite of pizza. Extra credit points for them. That's why they teach you when you go get your lessons. I got one for you. You haven't even had a fucking lesson. I mean, that should be a point for that to South Park. That's a South Park reference. That's a South Park reference as well.

What is scissoring? A South Park reference as well. Cisoring. What is scissoring? When you wreck and you put your skis, when your skis go cross. Yeah, that's when you cross your skis. That's great. Reads up 3-0 on you, dude.

All right, stash. Hey, where's the stash out around here, man? Stash, that's where not many people know where the good powder is. Oh, my God. And he doesn't have this website up. Dude, stash is like, if somebody asked me where the stash was at, snowshoe, I'd be like, man, listen. It's on the backside.

It's devil's revenge and the other double, the other black diamond. Went on good days, but it's, but it's going down the lift line. All right. So can you all rank Aspen, Vale, and Breckenridge, one, two, three? Vale, Aspen, Breck. Taylor?

Breck. He shortened it. No. Breck and Ridge, Aspen, and then, Vail. He's like a cliff bar personified. Like if a cliff bar was a person, that's Cowboy Reed right now. Look, so one of us actually lived in Colorado. And although I may have spent a lot of my winners playing lacrosse and football and I didn't get on the mountains a lot.

Pulling the jock card, jock card. I have a lot of friends that spend a lot of time on the mountains. And on a quick message to a bunch of old high school friends, right now Breck and Ridge has three answers and Veil has zero on the Breck versus Vail debate. Wow. You know. So, and that's from Colorado people. Donald Trump won the presidency, but it wasn't, yeah, you're right, the electoral college and all that stuff. So in a way, bar down, this was another one, bar down?

Is your lift bar? I don't even know why that's a question. Like, they have written down here, it's bar down or bar up. Like, yes, I want the bar down, dude. Yeah, agreed. Bar down safety, especially on the lift. Who doesn't have the bar up on the list? I got one.

I'm not a fan of people that have the bar. Me neither. Yeah. If you fall out of the lift, if you fall out of the lift, and it's snowing, how much snow has to be on the ground for you to survive? Oh, a lot. I mean, it depends on how far you fall from. I jumped, one time I jumped from like 15 feet, I think, but there was enough snow and I just

kind of landed. But that was like a no-no. The guys on the lift behind me were like, yo, can we jump on you? And they didn't, but they, that was, they, that was funny. NAR! That's gnar! Okay, last one. I want to see if you go for like a, what was the one making ask?

Fun box. Fun box. I believe that's what we bleeped out on the last. episode. And by the way, Taylor, whose voice you're hearing, and sometimes if you guys don't Taylor's here, Taylor played for Brandon Staley. That's the fun fact of the day. Brandon Staley was at JMU.

And Taylor, so Taylor's been sitting here watching Brandon Staley videos for the better part of a month and never said a word about it, Mr. Humble. He knows the guy personally. Good guy? Oh, he's awesome, man. He was one of those guys that, like, everybody on the team loved him. Really smart. I mean, he was, he coached us really hard for sure, but I mean, yeah, he's a great dude.

There you go, Brandon Staley, confirmed, good guy. I wonder if our racist listeners can differentiate between my voice, Reed's voice, and Taylor's voice. I know all of us sound the same. Hey, yard sale. Did you do Funbox yet? We just did Funbox. Did you answer Funbox? Yeah, Taylor nailed Funbox.

He was all over it. He nailed the fun box. And then yard sale. Yard sales is when you wreck and all your gear goes all over the place. Wow. If you're out there and you're a skier, you're not really skiing compared to our producers. Evidently, evidently, evidently we need to do more skiing contest. The one comment from two years ago, cool article, keep writing more.

From a crunchy ass. What website is it? It's EpicMountainRennels.com. I'm on SkiPeek.net, but we're reading the same. And this is from the Lifty Report. If you want a real crunchy website, go to unofficial network. That'll give you some good Yeah

I'm good man I don't It's too late in life Okay so that was That was quite the hello I mean but these guys were in here yelling They were like nah bro No bro

A little bit deeper than that Brad The fridge bro Shout out to the fridge Hey layup line today It's been One week since you looked at me Please no

Cut your head to the side Said I'm sorry That's bare naked ladies. I remember. I remember. One week. That was a regrettable time of music. Oh, no, no, no, no.

All right. So I'll give you another one, 1999, chronic 2001, which is confusing. It's obviously the second installment of the chronic, the original chronic. It's probably my favorite chronic front to back, Dr. Dre. Do you know who he did Chronic 2001 with? No, but I know Dr. Dre is from NWA. Okay. And he's got the headphones.

We won't do the acronym. Do you know this song? That's uh, still hitting him ponies and them lullos come. Did Dre do it with little baby or big baby? Or the Snoop Dog. The baby? Snoop Dog. Snoop Dog.

Man, Snoop Dog. That's probably legitimately, when it comes to albums that are iconic and that old and the hit gets that much play, you cannot play that song out, dude. In all seriousness, when the first couple notes of that song come on, it's like, all right, I'm just going to sit down for a couple minutes and listen to this song. It's like Shark Tank. If Shark Tank comes on TV at 10 p.m., you're going to watch the whole thing. You're going to listen to that whole song.

You and my wife? Yeah, Shark Tank. I can't get away from it. if I watch it late. Shark Tank on a gummy, I might watch until the end of the marathon. All right, so still Dre. That's number one off that album.

Explosive is probably my second favorite song, if I'm being honest, and then The Watcher. No, forgot about Dre. That has the played out problem. Like that played out a little bit more, although I know the whole M&M verse, like every other white kid, between the ages of like 35 and 45 at this point.

So that's my top four. Oh, I have this album cover on a T-shirt. Do you really? Yeah, except it says, you went to the beach. Except it says Monooco instead of Dr. Dred. Shout out to Monoloco. We miss Mono-Locco.

Also shout out to Mose. Monday Night Football. It's been a day or two for y'all. But this was like, this was storyline central. The Rams off a loss. You had Odell Beckham Jr. And then you had an injury to a player that people talked about for like,

like three hours over the weekend, as opposed to the 36 hours straight of O'Dell Beckham Jr. coverage we got, we didn't talk about Robert Woods. I think that played in the game on Monday night. But the first thing I want to talk about is the beat, okay? Two bets I made right off the bat. You know the Niners own the Rams, right? Like, you know that.

Everybody knows that at this point. The public might be on the Niners next time. It was like 80-20 last night. They've lost five straight to these guys. So that was easy, but you know me, I don't want to make it easy. I got to bet something else. Tees God. No, I go alt line over 41 and a half.

Okay. What's the final score of the game? 3110. 31 10. Do that math? It adds up to 41. Yeah, it adds up to 41. Okay.

Worst beat for me in weeks. Okay. It's compounding when you have a bad beat on Monday night because you stay up late in a game that like you could be getting eight hours sleep instead I'm up till damn near 1 a.m. watching a football game in which Matt Stafford and the Rams look like they're trying not to score. It was 31 7 with 11 minutes to go in the fourth quarter. 31 7 with 11 minutes to go. You needed a tutty. At half time it was 21, 24 7, something like that. I mean we were on 7. Yeah, 21 7. We need 13 14 points. We need two touchdowns

second half. There was like three touchdowns in a span of five minutes. Two trips to the red zone. All the Rams had to do with score a touchdown. One trip to the red zone, they took Bosa and them out. I had Arden Keyesie ruining my night. Arden Key sack Matt Stafford. Okay. Like, I understand the Bosa sack in the red zone. The guy was on fire last night late, but the Arden Kisack, that really hurt my feelings. You know what hurt my feelings the most? The Van Jefferson drop. This could all be avoided of Van Jefferson, who thought he was out of a job for the better part of a week. And then Robert Woods, everybody was feeling sorry for Van Jefferson. And then Robert Woods gets hurt. And Stafford can cover for me and hits Van Jefferson in the corner of the end zone.

And Van couldn't get his feet in or catch the ball. That was a difficult catch, wasn't it? Yeah, but you got to make those. Like, I'm awake. I'm watching. You used to play for the Rams. Help me out. My family depends on it. They started that drive at the 48. Started the drive of the 48. Shortfield City. Matt Stafford. I don't know if it was this driver or the other one, like vacates the pocket, and it looks in the moment like he has a chance to run it in from like the four, or at least throw the ball.

He runs, he does both and neither at the same time. He runs over the line and throws the football. We lose it down. That's when they kick the field goal to make a 3110. You're right. The one before they have first and goal at the nine. Good Lord. And you're texting this entire time,

making me aware that you just need one touchdown. I mean, one fourth down he threw the ball, the one that they didn't kick a field goal, which makes no sense. when you're faking field goals in the first fucking half. I know at that point you're in the game, you think. It was an ill-advised fake field goal. Then late in the game...

He threw the ball through the uprights. He threw the ball through the uprights. He was just so mad, dude. I know nobody else is up watching the game. I have to vent. It was brutal. There was a fourth down Matt Stafford threw the ball through the uprights. Like, that was the best we could do.

He threw the ball through the uprights. Didn't get three volleys for it. And the worst part was at the very end. Shanahan could have kicked the field goal. And a little credit over here on this side. You knew it. I knew what he was going to do. He was going to keep running it because he's got that Kyle Shanahan to him

where, hey, I'm better than you and stop me. But he's also not going to disrespect his buddy. By trying to kick a field goal. By just putting more points on the field. Are they buddies anymore? Do you have any friends that own you the way Shanahan owns the Rams and McVeigh? I don't know. Like I don't think if you have somebody,

if somebody beats me like that in fantasy football, we're not going to hang out for a while. Like they've just been This is free money I don't know about the next time Probably is going to be free money the next time I think it's week whatever the last week is 18. I believe it's week 18 this year

Well I didn't have the Niners going to the playoffs You never know with the wild card thing They could be thinking they're playing for something week 18 But the Rams probably gonna be trying to play for something too When Waylon went to bed last night And he's starting to get into football Which is fun because it's like a common thing It's not like I want him to go play football.

In fact, I don't. We can watch it together. He's like, hey, dad, and this remind me of being a kid and going to sleep for these Monday night games, then waking up to see Sports Center. Like you always had to go to sleep, especially NHL playoffs. I can remember one lightning game went for like eight overtimes and I had to find out in sixth grade at like at school. It's the same thing with Monday night football.

It's the thrill to it. Wayland's going to bed, about 8.30. What do you think about that bedtime? 8.30? Yeah. How many years old? He's five. almost six.

Well. How old is he? I don't know. The questions before the answer. I don't know anything about bedtimes or for kids that age. You can ask me about, it's probably about right.

10 month old. It's probably about right. We're about 7 p.m. 7 p.m. A lot of free time after the kid goes to bed, huh? Yeah. The time I get. Eighth.

Imagine having two of those things. And they go to bed later. Waylon goes to bed and he says, wake me up when the, when the, when the, when the blue team scores. That's who he decided when he wanted to win.

And I was like, that blue team caught your dad. But, you know, you weren't around yet. You were in Mama's belly. We were living in a hotel waiting to be released.

I almost didn't have to wake him up at all. Like, I almost didn't have to lie to him because they scored one touchdown the whole night. And, you know, you have Von Miller and OBJ, the big stories.

They check in. They had the worst first night stay at their great new hotel. I mean like everything's not working. Von Miller, he's got to watch a bunch of four minute mode essentially. He's watching drives. He's like he's never seen a drive like that like 19 plays, 15 run plays, a couple backbreaking in cuts on third down. Debo Samuel, yak, the whole thing. There's not really a lot of chance to do what you're supposed to do. And on the other side of things, OBJ gets a catch right off the bat. So you knew they were trying to keep him happy.

Like all these things can be true, dude. Is that Troy Aikman over there? No, no, no. All these things can be true. And by the way, I'm a bigger O'Dell fan than you. I don't think you like O'Dell. Do you think he's a cancer? No, I like O'Dell.

I don't think he's a cancer. O'Dell's a member of the Houses. I don't want to rail. He's a member of one of my fantasy teams too. I don't want to rail against O'Dell, but it can be true that while he's not a bad teammate, you do walk on eggshells around the guy that demanded to have a bunch of targets,

just a little bit the first game. You want to get him going. You want to build his confidence. That's not outrageous. Okay. 15 to 56 snaps, ran 11 routes, three targets, two catches. Can it be that Stafford's just trying to send him one hay, new guy? But you get him

on the board right off the bat with a five yard out. And at that point, you're thinking, Odell's going to get touches today. Then the deep ball, which I don't know what happened. You seem to stop running. I seem to stop running, and it seemed to be a little bit of a miscommunication. These things happen.

but early they were trying to get him the ball and O'Dell his first possession ends in a tackle I don't think a good tackle too didn't really wrap the arms but fuck beggars can't be chooses wide receiver not everybody can be Julio Jones looks like he's Ed Reed but bad start for you know the tenure of maybe the short tenure of O'Dell

in L.A. because I don't think he's going to be there next year they have the money the whole thing and for Vaughn that we haven't potted since O'Dell signed with him. the Rams. You left the building right before it happened last week. You think it's a good signing? I think it's a great signing in light of Robert Woods injury. Didn't like it before then. Yeah. But now it seems to make a lot of sense. See, I think it makes less sense now. Wow. You're not going to replace Robert Woods without Odell Beckham. This made sense because

Odell was a luxury, okay, and a low risk luxury from a financial standpoint. Now, everything else, like you believe what you want to believe, if you're somebody from Troy Eakman School thought, you think he's going to be forcing the ball. It might mess up the chemistry. That can mess up Stafford. Potentially high risk. Okay. But from a financial sense, at least,

it's not a high risk thing. It's a luxury. Robert Woods, we talked about for a few hours over the weekend. Sensational. It's way more important to this team than Odell will be. Oh, yeah.

And has been. So if you don't have that guy, the offense is not, the offense, and could be an adjustment, but I don't think the offense is ever going to look the same without Robert Woods.

So what I'm saying is when you put all your poker chips to the middle of the table to win the Super Bowl, the straw that stirs a drink over the years has been Robert Woods. And I don't mean that to take away from Cooper Cup, who's his new Clayton Kershaw, Matt Stafford's. Robert Woods is a slump buster. He runs in-routes.

He runs the quick stuff. He's going to get the ball when you can't run the football. He blocks. He blocks. He does everything. And his skill set is so different from OBJ. that no disrespect to Odell, I'm just saying that that signing is not that important.

The more important thing is that they lost Robert Woods, and if you don't have both of them, there was like no point to make the move because I hate to say this, especially the way that defense is playing from a standpoint of consistency, they're going to be hard-pressed to get back to where they were offensively without Robert Woods,

and that would render the Odell signing kind of like, oh, well, fuck. That's interesting. Yeah. So after Robert Woods's injury, if O'D weren't in L.A., you wouldn't be saying, gosh, I wish we had made that move.

No, no, because they're different players. They're different players. I don't think Robert Woods is replaceable. I think it could be a net positive if Sean McVeigh can figure this out. I think he's going to be tested mightily. And by the way, Cowboy Reed, I had you look up some numbers.

Robert Woods, who people at the beginning of the season, were like, I guess Cooper Cup's the most important guy now, and he is very important. I'm not taking anything away from him. Robert Woods has been getting more targets lately, Am I right on that read? Robert Wood's first four games. He had six and a quarter targets a game,

three and three quarters catches. His weeks five through nine, eight point eight targets and six catches a game. Yeah, so he's getting the ball more before he gets hurt. They're figuring out that they got to use him when they come upon some tough times. And then when you look at his San Francisco games, now they've lost all these games,

but the Rams have lost in shootouts, and they've lost where they couldn't put points up. The two games they couldn't put points out, they couldn't get Robert Woods going. When Robert Woods goes, that offense goes against San Francisco. And so I think while we're all hitting the panic button on the Rams and maybe we should be,

this was a foregone conclusion. They weren't going to look good tonight. I thought they would probably lose the ballgame. And on top of it, when you throw a pick six after like a 19-play drive, that's your answer to Jimmy Ward. By the way, Jimmy Ward played awesome last night in his return.

And when you do that, you're not gonna win on the road against a team that can basically get in four minute mode and run the ball. Like they don't even have to throw the ball and they can beat you. So you're down 14-0-0 on the road, that place is rocking and that Higbee drop was terrible. Ooh.

Not even a drop, like a shovel pass to Jimmy Ward. Yeah, and then it wasn't his worst drop of the night. The worst drop of the night was backed up. I heard a cartoon blooper sound when he dropped that ball backed up. Like I heard like a clown sound at the circus. when he dropped that ball backed up and like the nine and like fell out of bounds. But he also scored,

which was very significant for some of us. He did. And you know what? Like I like Tyler Higby as a player. I like Cooper Cup as a player. I like Matt Stafford. I like Van Jefferson. But last night they weren't ready to play.

And I don't know if Matt Stafford's healthy the way he's throwing some of these balls. I think the Rams just got chin checked. I think the fake field goal was dumb. I like watching Ramsey play frustrated because he's awesome when he played. place frustrated. He pushed him. He pushed him. I love Ramsey

when he's frustrated, but I hate what it takes to get there for this team. And yet, by week on deck, I bet OBJ comes out. Two weeks looking great. And you know what? It's not going to be hard to make that prediction because he's going to look better. And they're going to win games. And there's going to be days where he gets his. But I'm just saying

if you gave me a choice between this and just keeping it the way it was, I'd have kept it the way it was. Yeah. And that's not because I think Odell is a bad guy. I actually hear he's a great guy to play with in a lot of ways. Odell's presence is monumental. Like, he's a,

Odell walking in the building is not quite Cam walking in the building, but he's an icon. When LeBron James welcomed you to L.A., guess who you're looking at? All right, Matt, what are you going to do with this? All those people that loved you on the internet for a month that were all of a sudden Matt Stafford, hipster fans, they're going to fucking just light you on fire. if Odell doesn't eat.

And listen, Odell might eat a couple weeks, but I'm just saying, Robert Woods was so important to this team when they're winning and when they're in slumps even more importantly. Last night they were in a slump. They didn't have any consistent guy

to get the ball to do the dirty work against a physical team. What about the defense for L.A? Defense for L.A. is a problem. They've been getting the ball run on them. That's not going to be good enough. It's just not, especially when you got a dominant guy

like Aaron Donald up front, who if this game was in phase, I feel like he would have had a really nice game. He came to play last night early. He was in the back field a lot. But otherwise, nobody in the run game really scares me. You've got Aaron who takes chances to create negatives, but who's just kicking people's asses in the run game for that team? I don't know about the defense.

On the other side, I got to give credit to two coaches, who I really like. one Chris Kusurik who was in Detroit for a while when I was a free agent and I talked to Detroit only because of Chris Kucerick basically. The things I heard about this D-Line coach is that like he just fosters this environment

where guys hunt, hunt, hunt and they just run, run, run. It's about effort, it's about accountability but it's also fun to play for him. You could tell last night that front brought it. And Nick Bosa, man, he's strong. I mean like Rob Havenstein's the size of a door.

So it's going to be hard to run through him. But one thing Rob does is he floats a lot. And Bo's not a pure speed rusher. So the inside moves started killing him late. Can you imagine being the Bosa dad? No. For a variety of reasons. Can you imagine just making two of those guys?

No. Do you know how many he probably sent back to, like how many do you think, How many Bosa kids Was he like, not good enough? And he just put him in a basket and put him in a river Like for somebody else to find I was looking at a...

That's looking at me. Kingston's looking at me back there Like, we're not keeping that, we're keeping that. I was looking at Nick's arms last night And thought about going out to the garage to the weight bench. Thought about it. I didn't think you're... Thought about it. I don't know, man.

That D-Line played well. And D-Miko Rines was good. I know they've been up and now on defense, but he was a great player and it's so fun to see a guy who's a year older than me getting a shot right off the bat, like right off the bat. Like I can remember him playing. It was only a couple years ago and look at him now with a headset on.

Gerard Mayo, same type of thing. Really cool to see him get called out last night in a good way. So defense for the Rams flawed, the Niners defense, they played hard. And more than anything, the Niners put on a blocking clinic. I mean, they just did. George Kittle is much CTV. Now you saw the pancake of Von Miller. Okay.

I understand that not a lot of people. people really pay much attention when it's line play. But you're going to want to look at the five-time pro bowler fullback who goes about 2.30 or whatever he does. His name's Kyle Yuscheck, Juice. He had a running start across the formation and nudge the fuck out of Von Miller. And in slow motion, nudge has never looked that serious.

But when you're engaged with a blocker like George Kittle and somebody runs into you from the side, because a lot of times you're setting the edge, you're not thinking you're going to get a chip like it's pass for us. That's respect for Vaughn, and that's really sadistic scheming for an edge setter. George Kittle, what makes him great,

his hand placement, his technique, his tenacity, but it's also his finishing, man. And his finishing is what separated that play from being, if it was anybody else, if Dwellie was blocking Von Miller, and you checked just, came through and gave him a big old like Harvard hello. Vaugh Miller's going to reset his feet and set that edge.

But because Kittle is relentless and has great hand placement, once you're off balance like Vaughn was, it's over. And so, you know, I want to do like the low-hanging fruit tweet, Von versus, you know, Kittle because it gets clicks and shit. But there's some nuance there. And it's the entire offense and the way they block. Usecheck also planted 51 last night. They put them on the Rivals.com recruiting orb.

Whenever you're on the recruiting orb and they like, you know what I'm talking about. Oh yeah. They highlight you and put you in the bubble in the NFL. They don't do that a lot. Also on the Von Miller block, the pancake, Eli Mitchell went for a minus a yard. Yeah.

And honestly, the thing I just mentioned should make the conversation a lot more nuance on its head, not to mention the outcome of the play. So Manningcast, how would you grade it? Oh, not so great. Yeah, really? Yeah. On paper, it looked like the best lineup so far.

I don't know that I would disagree with that. Al Michaels. Can I mention Jimmy G. before you dump on the Manning cast? He had a good night last night. We shit on him a lot in the media. He had a good night. He had a bunch of really tight window throws. And Debo Samuel is a fucking menace, dude.

Well, you say that. Eli Mitchell ran 3.4 yards a carry. Jeff Wilson, 2.8 yards of carry. Debo is the one who kept him off balance. Five carries for 36 and a touchdown. And then he went nuts to the passing game too. They threw 47 tosses to people the first five minutes. It just looked like the Niners. And I don't know how bad a disagreement there has to be between Brennan Ayyuk and Shanahan to keep that guy off the field. Like, what did he do to you? three for 26 four targets I know but I just love watching him play the kids a stud they barely threw the ball they picked up to win manning cast quarterbacks they didn't have shit to say last night I didn't think I don't think Al settled in yeah no thought was a bit awkward really when they talked they showed golf highlights of Al and he said uh oh you piece of human shit that was that was funny he said that to a drive he said that Yeah.

Do they bleep it? They bleep it. They bleeped it. How do you know it was shit? And it was a, oh, you piece of human. But otherwise, Al started with saying that Eli went to school in Knoxville. Has an OX in it, but the wrong OX. He was in Oxford.

And part of the problem was that 19 play drive. So Al didn't get on until two minutes left in the first quarter. It was late. It was late at night, man. I know Al does primetime games. It was late. And then they held him on. He tried to force a cosylose.

S-L impression, which was fine. Yeah. But then they carried him over into Phil, so you had two guests on with Peyton and Eli. Right. Phil. Phil was doing a Max Homa thing. He was kind of... Phil was overprepped.

He had some guy who had written a lot of questions. It was like, hey, this Eli Mitchell, he's a late round pick, but he comes and beats out a higher round pick. And talk to me about their YPA. Talk to a lot of talk to me about. to me about their YPAs. A lot of talk to me about. At least he tried to tee it up for the experts.

Tied up. Yeah, like a clear. Yeah, teed high, let it fly. Yeah. I called Eli Swing Cute.

That was nice. That was funny. That was a Max Homa thing. Like, I don't know if, you know, Phil can do whatever he wants, but. Draymond,

uh, solid, actually. Once he got the microphone out of his sweatshirt, he was solid. So good that he steered them out of the thing you told me about. Poor Eli. The fab mellow thing.

And I don't blame Eli for not knowing that. I'm sure in some, corner of the internet. Somebody was like, how could you Eli? But, Draymond's starting to list, all the 34 guys drafted ahead of him, and then they get to a scrolling list, and Eli points out Fab Mello. He probably just

picked a guy out of the blue and said, where'd he play and is he still playing? And Fab Mello passed away some years ago, and Draymond turned out of it very adeptly and said, God rest his soul. He was like Doc Hudson, if you watch cars.

I don't. At least not yet. Yeah. It was impressively done. And no harm, no foul. And RIP to the great Fab Mello out of Syracuse. Obviously. Boston Celtics fan. But Draymond Green is good on TV.

Like I've said this before in this podcast, Draymond Green is one of the people I'm most excited about seeing it on TV when he gets done playing. As a former athlete, I love watching him play. I might like watching him on TV even more, which is a big compliment. Yeah, I don't like watching him play. And I do like watching him on TV. I love watching them on TV. Big Draymond guy.

Hey, Phil, they just, they put Phil in the wrong spot. Phil was solid. It was just sleepy at 31 to 7. Here's what was interesting. I don't know who was on, but I saw this in the highlights of it, but they did a poor throws chart, and Matt Stafford was up the highest.

And Peyton made a really good point, which should give like analytics people who just kind of drop numbers and say like, no context. You don't know where I was throwing. You don't know where I'm throwing. You don't. Like, we just talked about this Sunday.

there was a throw in the red zone that Tom Brady threw to Godwin that probably should have moved the sticks for them. I think they ended up kicking a field goal and it was low and I'm like I'm not caping for Brady but I do think had he thrown that chest

high Godwin's eating through a straw today. And conversely Heineke damn near killed McLaurin on a third and five later that game but like quarterbacks will especially really good ones vary the ball placement also routes routes

routes get fucked up all the time i think that jared cook uh pick six uh a few weeks back maybe against i forget who but the chargers got beaten he was running like an out route and didn't finish the route or something and there was a miscommunication like where are you throwing that ball justin herbert i hope analytics people listen to one of the goats talk about why you need context around the analytics. All right. So I asked Reed to, if you, if you had to fuck up a Manningcast and just make it like unwatchable to come up with a lineup, Reid, what you got? So I picked quarter one, Jeff Saturday. Oh no. What? What the fuck, Reed? That's the one that's going to be interesting. That because the whole time Peyton will just be hollering shut up Jeff and just block.

Oh, what do you do that? I don't know. I'm sure that's coming. I think it'll be good. I love Jeff Saturday. I love Jeff Saturday. If we can get Jeff Saturday on the show, that'd be great. So ignore what Cowboy Reed just said. Ignore that one. I'll replace him with another former Colt, Mike Vanderjack, because... That'd be entertaining. That's a great one too. Is this your good list? Yeah, maybe you misunderstood the exercise. Get that drunk kicker? I was picking Vander Jack because of the Provo comments. And he would just call him idiot kicker the whole time. Yeah, lickered up. That'd be awesome. It'd be great. That'd be awesome.

This is a good list, Reed. We need more Mike Vanderjacks. Good job, Reid. Who else is? Next one, Kevin Durant, because... He wouldn't say anything to them. He wouldn't say anything. And I feel like Eli might get suckered into a Twitter conversation with one of Kevin Durant's burners.

Oh, yeah, yeah. That could happen. That could happen. I think there'd just be a lot of awkward silences. Yeah. You know, if a guest lets the game come to them, those guys aren't going to chase the guests so much. Correct. third and five what are you doing here Kevin oh uh pass and then I've got O'Dell because even with two

quarterbacks on the cast I don't think that's enough attention oh wow read is Troy is sizzling wow read is Troy fiery burn and then the fourth one is anyone for the Broncos because of the Manning cast curse I don't want to lose the next week. Oh, that's a good one, Reed. Good one. Yeah, y'all are losing on your own. Let's go M&M first quarter. Bro. You have M&M? Yeah, but on my good list. Oh, no, see, remember

what he did when he was in the booth? Yeah. Those guys would not know. He's a meme. Guys would not know how to handle him. He's a meme. Give me Walking Phoenix to fuck up the whole night. Just those guys trying to pin down walking Phoenix. It's like trying to catch a grease pig. I went Drake.

Yeah, Drake. Real try hard. Drake's going to have the issued gear of whoever's playing on. Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods? Yeah. You think it would be bad? Bad.

Really? Yeah. Sean Connery. He's dead. Yeah. That wouldn't work as well, yeah. With his being dead. PJ Fleck?

I don't know. I don't want to hear PJ Fleck talk. that'd be my best shot that's a good one I got one for you Nicholas Cage I'm putting a petition out today on the internet

Reed can you sign us up to like one of those petitions yeah change dot org change dot org right see that all the time let's do a change dot org and get Nick Cage on the Manning cast can we do that

can we do that I will tweet it out no there is no try there's only do here we need Nick Cage on the Manning cast. That's really good. Yeah. Can you imagine those three? I think they'd hit it off. Same sort of deal. Tom Hanks is a good lesson. Dog the bounty hunter. David Letterman. David Letterman would be good. But I don't know, John Stewart wasn't that great on there. It wasn't his whole. Different different. It's just not his. You're typecasting. They're two very different people.

I know. Bill Walton. Bill Walton would be great. Olivia Coleman. She's great at everything. Okay. Pole assassin. Enough on Monday night's game. It's not going to matter. Neither of those two teams are winning the Super Bowl. All right, I'm just going to say it. You're probably right, but the Rams have two months to figure it out.

They have two months to figure it out, for sure. And it's not going to be 14 and 3 anymore. Michael Brockers ain't walking through that door, okay? Well, I mean, maybe. William Hayes ain't walking through that door. He'd be a good manning Casquez. Yeah, William Hayes would be a great manning cast guess. I'm just saying

defensively I worry they can be hot and cold offensively but not unless you're like really elite defensively and I don't know if the Vaughn thing like all this pass rush is great but if teams line up and run the football and you have off nights

I worry I mean run defense has been a thing for them yeah I mean I don't know where they are numerically down the line in the league but bi-week will be good pink Floyd that's what I still see Pink Floyd and I think Jimmy Hendrix. Still.

That's a weird thing. Like that's not a thing that I made up at all. That's odd. Yeah. If you're in Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, New Jersey, Tennessee, or Virginia, and you haven't yet tried the Winbet app, I've got great news for you. Winbet is now offering a 200% wager match for new users up to $1,500. That's just an incredible offer.

Where are you putting the Fuente buyout? Virginia Tech, our arch nemesis who's beating us like 30 out of the last 32 years, just bought out their head coach that all the hockey fans wanted fired.

Right. Like supposedly last year, nearly happened last year. They kind of wanted us to beat them, so Fuente got fired. Yeah, I don't know if I could go that far. Here's a problem. Seems like a nice enough guy. Yeah, this is business. He didn't win a ton of games.

Yeah. But he was four and one against Virginia, which is just so incredibly depressing that the guy not good enough for tech beat us 80% of the time. Hopefully that wasn't our only window. I'll just put it that way. But yeah, Fwente, you put that in the good, bad,

ugly, is it bad because we wanted him to stay? Yeah. Okay, it's bad. On the recruiting front, it wasn't working either. Who should they hire? Who should they hire as a Virginia fan? Rich Cotite. Okay.

Would be good? Fair as fuck. Bruce Feldman just published an article. he's saying Dave Claussen, Sunny Dykes, Jamie Chadwell, Billy Napier, perhaps coordinators Joe Moorhead, Bill O'Brien, Marcus Freeman at Notre Dame, Mike Elko, Chris Beatty with the Chargers.

It'll be, it's a fairly attractive gig. I mean, they care about football, a lot of resources, they don't care about anything else. And, you know, they have a... Ugly buildings. Very ugly buildings. It's quite cold. Your family will probably get depressed. So just know that if you take that job,

I hear there's a guy just running around knocking people over in Blacksburg, stuff like that. There's like bad traffic. It rains 200 days a year, I think it was. Seattle and Blacksburg. Yeah. Like you don't want that job. Windy.

Windy. High chlamydia transmission rates. Yeah, syphilis too. Did you hear about that? Yes. Bad. Anyways, could be an attractive job, though, I guess. Hey, poll assassin.

How did that go quiet? Speaking of college football. Sark, in part, Sark shut it down, said it's not a distraction. Pole assassin is not a distraction. It really isn't when you think about things, man. Let your freak flag fly, dude. You got coaches with girlfriends that have pet monkeys who are also strippers. Like, that's all legal.

The kid must either A, be healed up or B has reached a settlement. He was bought out. With Miss Assassin He was bought out And family He was bought out Hey depending on how those numbers look like I'd love to go to a Halloween party there

Send my kid right around the side I think they have a dog back in that enclosure I think they have a little puppy back there Yeah no keep going Keep going keep going A little bit farther You think it's a seven figure settlement No

A little monkey bite Yeah a little monkey bite But a big headache for Sark Who was asked an interesting question this week Can you for the people listening Can you roll that question Good money to you, Coach, Sirkees. Morning.

Coach, a couple years ago, one of my good friends and I were faced with a massive problem we couldn't solve. And in his wisdom, he said, you know, at this point, we need to stop and ask ourselves, what would an extraordinary person do in this situation? And this resonated with me the whole weekend. And I realized that of all the coaches who could be standing at that podium right now in those shoes, you are that extraordinary person. And you have a team with what I call coaching juggernauts. This is not only my opinion.

this is a fact. I don't think anyone could dispute this. So my question, as we write, you know, the Sarkeesian era story, we're not even done with the first chapter yet, can you unfold some of the onion of what are you working on? How are you solving this problem? I realize that you might not even know, but you know, I'm going to steal from Julian Ellman. It's going to be one-hous story. Yeah, I think, I think, first of all, a couple of highlights from that. First of all, good Monday to you. Yeah, dude, Jesus. When you sent me this question, I thought that the guy was fucking with him. I thought there was going to be a bad punchline where Sark.

I thought so too. I thought Sark was going to get like unfairly embarrassed. Well, not unfairly, but that's an unfair way to go about it. So this question asker, as you just heard, was once faced with a massive problem. And he and his buddy decided to ask themselves, what would an extraordinary person do? Mind you, not an extraordinary person, but an extraordinary person do. I thought that was part of the lead up to a punchline. And the guy goes, that resonated with me the whole weekend.

And then he goes, I think he goes, you are coaching juggernauts and says, this is not only my opinion, it's a fact. It all had the buildup to one great big joke. But then he just says that Sark is the extraordinary person that's going to solve this problem in Texas. I think whoever this reporter is, I think, Sark had him over or he came over to that assistant coach's house and they put him in a compromising position with one

of a poll assassin's friends or something. It's actually kind of a good strategy as a college football coach. I know it's illegal. Deflect. Yeah, no, not a deflect. Like I own you. You were partying with strippers. Hey, come on over. Partying with Pole Assassin's friends. Got some pictures. Ask me layups on Monday and this guy went

over the top. Right. Like this guy broke like, dude, you sound like a cop. You're doing too much right now. Right. Ask me about the good recruits. Yeah, just ask me about the recruits, the facilities. Good Monday to you coach. Yeah, dude. Like, hey, the bit is a little bit over the top right now. We're going to get busted. I don't know who that guy is, but that was the most ridiculous question I've ever heard. Have you heard a more ridiculous question? No. And Sark goes, yeah, yeah, I think first of all, and the clip ends. Because it really doesn't matter after that. It's all about the question. So, hey, if you know what's going on with

poll us ass and tweet us. Here's one good thing. This is a lot of good this week. Depending on how you look at the Fuente fire, I'm kind of scared to see what comes next. Fuck, I hope they don't hire any of the guys you mentioned earlier. That would be a shame. All right, so there was a guy on the internet and he said the games were shitty Sunday and that he instead of watching them, he put up pictures of all the coaches in the NFL and said what they look like they do for a and I was really captivated by it. They're solely on their looks. It's a great, great thread, like a great idea.

This guy had some funny ones. He had something that I think he's swung and missed on, but it takes a lot of audacity to do something that observationally humorous and know that you go viral. This is Jeff Koso Doggs, Crisco. Yep, Koso Dogs, Crisco. So shout out to you.

I got some lookalikes, you got some lookalikes. We're just going to see how this goes. He started with what? The FC West and Vic Fangio Not his strongest work in my opinion I mean he's got Rick Basaccia As an owner head chef at the local chain of pizzerias Actually that's pretty good

I have Rich Basaccia as a kindly veterinarian Oh I had him as like a Prison Guard or something I don't know Like hey your dog's gonna be fine Is the vibe I'm getting from Rich But you gotta use the voice with the face in my opinion That's how I you know what I mean?

Okay. Like I, what I thought was. He doesn't have a vet voice. The vet, if he was a vet, he'd be really matter of fact about it. Dog's dead. I don't know what to tell you. I thought Vic Fangio was excellent. Now, now my only qualm here is a head mechanic, like at his own shop, not at a dealer's

no. Vic Fangio, I think he's a little bit off on. I think a lot of people are off on. I think Vic Fangio is the guy is like a hedge fund guy at a beach bar that you talk to for 30 ministering a football game like completely put him in a in a in some Maui gym and he's like he looks more like a Manhattan guy to me than a mob guy I think the name Fangio and his reputation as a play caller and a coach makes him a lot scarier looking in people's heads than he really is brandon staley for me as a youth past yes no he he's it's perfect perfect perfect perfect it's perfect but then once I read

youth pastor. Then for like everybody else, I started thinking, kind of looks like a youth pastor. Stefansky has a big televangelist vibe going on. Stifansky is a trial lawyer. Not bad. Yeah, he nailed the Mike Tomlin thing, high school guidance counselor, or the coach who has like a very well-equipped peewee team. If he were not an NFL coach, you're like, oh, the insert team name that has like a $15,000 budget. You know any architects?

Uh, yeah, I know a few. John Harbaugh. No, John Harbaugh is just a football coach to me. It's like really hard for me to see anybody else. Uh, what is it? What's next? The, uh, AFC East.

Sean McDermott has, I wasn't seeing this. You know how you say you don't see it? Yeah. On Sunday? I'm not seeing it. I'm not seeing the whole division, except for Sala as a personal trainer.

It's got the, yeah, I mean, it's a layup. That's easy. McDermin, I got a, Rex Ryan walked into his gym.

I got child dentist. Yeah. Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, sport. Lollipop. But it's, again, it's scrubs adjacent. They said head nurse. You said like, like dentist guys.

Yeah, I didn't think he was far off. Because you're the dentist or you're dealing with something. Bill, I don't have any. No, you know what Bill is? Bill, it hit me. Is the guy that goes over to give me a tent of Kodiak at 7.11 at 3 a.m. Yeah. Like there's no, there's no other job I could pin for Bill Belichick if he were not the greatest football.

ball coach of all time than the guy that's not real excited to get you to find he gives you the pouches he's like these reading reading local news on the radio station like midnight shift no no no you have to be excited to be up late doing that no you know i guess i don't know you got to be he's a 7-11 guy dude no i like i like yours better than mine 7-11 guy david cully david cully out in the afc south here nail on the head vice principal He's definitely a principal. I forgot what he was about to say and I was about to say a principal.

Yeah. And frankly, Frank Reich at AP World History Teacher is fairly spot on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The guy that everybody's like, he's just a good man, which is kind of what people say now. I mean, he's a great coach,

but I mean, you just know he's a good guy. Look at him. Look at him. He just looks. He's got, I'm a good guy eyes, dude. Yeah. You know, like humble, like I'm a good guy eyes. And then we get to Urban.

Now, Urban, I have no idea who he is. No idea. Like a Russian club. owner, Eastern European club owner. He owns a club in Brighton Beach, a nightclub. Mike Vrabel's on the take somewhere.

Whatever he's doing is on the take. Is he not? Is he not on the take somewhere? I'm trying to hide logos when I look at this. The logo is influencing this. They do influence you. Maybe like a car wash guy, but the car wash is a front for something. That's what I'm saying. There's some very different.

I don't know about the car wash. but there's something going on that's illegal where Mike Frable's working. No questions asked. NFC West. Cliff Kingsbury could not be any more of an agent, bro. A sports agent. Like legitimately high energy sports agent. That's what he is.

I mean, McVeigh, personal trainer. I think he looks more like a personal trainer than Sala. And I think he's a big spot guy. Like a big, he spots you when you didn't ask for a spot, encourages you when you don't want to be encouraged. Yeah. I'm not that. Hey, I'm six four. I don't really need to lift that hard, dude.

You know, like I'm not as excited to be here as you. Yeah, big handshake guy, just personal space intruder. Yep. Kyle Shanahan, I don't know. He is Kindle Roy. You wouldn't know much about that because you don't appreciate good dialogue and character development. Oh, it's more like sucks session. Oh, that's a good one. Yeah. How about more like. I tried it the other night. No thank you. Yeah. Well, hey, we don't want you. I don't want that. Is that cool? I don't want them. It's hard when you don't like the characters or the script.

Script is brilliant. The point is to not like the fucking characters. No one talks like that, dude. No one talks like that. They're basically talking in like, I don't know, Netflix pros. It's like, dude, it's clearly written. You know the character? It is written, actually.

They did write the show. It's clearly written. Like, it's like, I don't even believe this is real life. You're just defending your shitty show. Succession means more to me than my fan. family. Okay. Pete Carroll, he owns a gardening store. Yes. Did you have that too? Well, yeah, but we're only saying this because he looks like the proprietor of a local nursery. That's, oh, it does look like a proprietor of a local nursery. By the way, Christmas trees are in and there aren't going to be a whole lot coming.

Yeah, I saw it too. Shout out George Carter. Yeah, absolutely. He's a legend. The trees are in and they're not many coming. Shout out Ivy nursery. Do you know why there aren't going to be many Christmas trees this year? This blew my mind. Why? It's not because of COVID. Okay. It's because of the recession back a decade ago. Yeah. Because that's how long it takes to grow these trees.

Oh my God, dude. Isn't that? The Christmas tree lady heard it on the radio this morning. Yeah, her Instagram or something, one of those. Why doesn't she know that? They should have been talking about this for years. She was learning herself up, though. It's like they, she was on the way to it.

And she is new. So she was learning up on the first day of the gig. Okay. Yeah. No, big ups to her. Big Christmas tree has been like, we don't talk about. 21. Right. They've been seeing this coming for a while. Well, my wife's going to be excited. Better hurry. No, we have a real house now. When we lived in an apartment, people call, you know,

Meg was like, I don't want to deal with the tree tree. Like, let's get the fake one. Oh, yeah. I said, you got no soul. No. Yeah. Um, Jersey people. No offense. No offense. They say tournament. Tournament. They're like fake trees. NFC North. NFC North. Naggy. He doesn't care how you say his last name. Actually, LaFloor is a is a, is a, is a fucking, uh, real estate agent. This guy called him real estate agent. I don't know. He is a real estate agent. We're not that. You know how I know that because I didn't see his comment here. We're not that high and tight. When he said Dan Campbell is a stunt coordinator, I laughed for 35 seconds. Like I can hear him, I want the explosion over there. Now we're going

to blow up three cars today. Like, you know, that type of thing. I totally see it. And Mike Zimmer is a priest. He's a Catholic priest. Because, because all Catholic Priests have really red faces. Prizes. All the priestses. All the Catholic priests. I know I'm fucking it up now at this point. Forgive me, Father.

But they all have red faces. And he inevitably has a red face at home. Well, not at home. The year we played him, I saw him on the sideline. They were outside for that year. His face looked like a tomato. Shout out Tom Coughlin. Shout Tom Coughlin.

Another Catholic priest-looking guy. NFC is Mike McCarthy, electrician. I'm with it. I would say McCarthy is just a guy at a town hall with a beard and a flannel shirt, asking the tough questions. Whatever he's doing. It's like Ken Bone? No, more blue collar Ken Bone. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

He made it too complicated with Joe Judge. You used car salesman whose dad owns the dealership and whose nickname in college was burp. No, dude. All you had to say was cop. cop, yes. That's all you had to say. Joe Judge is a cop, dude. Joe Judge is a cop. I can hear Joe Judge on his radio.

I can hear him telling a kid to go home. I can hear him telling me, you go that way or this way, man, but you can't stand here, like in the middle of the street. And then blowing a whistle. Yes. You know, like... That's spot on.

Joe Judge is a cop, dude. Very well done. Nick Siriani has podcaster. It made me chuckled, but I don't know that he has podcast qualities. Hey, 50, 50, 50 plan is rolling, dude. You don't even know what that is. No. You're a podcaster.

You don't know what it is. One point, Siriani. Okay. Arthur Smith, he's a guy who got a job in the NBA, and you're like, how did he get that job, dude? Like, analytics guy. I thought exterminator was brilliant. Exterminator?

From Caso dogs, Chris Co. I don't have a lot of exterminators. You don't have an exterminated come for a quarterly service? Not that look like Arthur Smith. They look like more. more like Matt Rule. Matt Rule looks like he's ready to fuck up some stink bugs, dude. Look at him.

He does it for a sport. Look at that shit. You know, they're not ladybugs this year around here. They're lady Asian beetles. Okay. And they'll bite you. Okay. F-Y-I.

Really? Yeah. I was just playing with one the other day. Yeah, they'll bite you. Playing with a ladybug. I was just placing one. I don't kill ladybugs, dude. I don't even, I don't kill stink bugs.

You're going to think I'm weird. If I got one on my hand in the car, I just throw them out the window. Oh yeah, yeah. I'll do a throw out the window. If one's going down the drain in the shower, I just take them out of the shower. Might send them down the drain.

What if they fit? How big is your drain? I probably big enough to drown a stink bug. I don't know. Matt Rule, though, as we are in the NFC South, Matt Rule definitely works at a minor key, but he mostly watches the small TV with his legs crossed and eats Chinese food

while he's asking people questions about the show that are in the waiting room. Sean Payton, if you've ever seen, you haven't. Mama's family? That's a good. Who is he looking like in Mama's family? I forget. It's a girl in Mama's family, right?

Oh, yeah. Okay, so. It's Mama. And then I got another one for you. He's like a rung below the head German guy and die hard with a vengeance. You know what I mean? Like he's definitely Matt C.

Kingston's seeing the damn. Kingston's seen that it's not a show, it's a movie. I said show. I think you said show. Vicki Lawrence is Mama from Mama's family. At Bruce Ariens, I have no idea, dude. I thought he hit that too. Yeah, car stereo installer.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The Cangle is kind of, it's cloud in the process for you right now. Bruce Ariens looks like a bus driver to me. A bus driver. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. That is good, Matt. Yeah.

That's good. You nailed it because, yeah. No. We've got Michael Irvin coming up in a second. The Cowboys are playing well. I really do buy them this year. You? I do.

Despite maybe some deficiencies on the sideline respectfully. On the sideline. Yeah. Mojo moments, et cetera. Mojo moments. Yeah, you're talking about the head coach. The guy at the town hall.

Yes. I like what they're doing inside the line. The guy at the town hall asking about critical race theory. Yes. All right. Yeah, no, I do believe in the Cowboys, and I love Michael Irvin, dude. Michael Irvin is one of the coolest Hall of Famers I've ever met.

He's in the upper echelon of cool Hall of Famers. You know, imagine being that good at something and then being really awesome to everybody. Great guy. And offered to come on the show. So talk to him yesterday, actually, about the Cowboys, about

UM, they're having a players-only meeting as we speak right now, I think, are coming up this week to fix the program. The Miami Hurricane. Yeah, and Michael Irvin will be in that,

that player's meeting. Obviously, not going to tell you what's going on in the players-only meeting because that's the rule of players-only meetings is can't talk about him. Michael Irvin doesn't play for the Miami Hurricane.

Alumni players-only. It's like an alumni-player-only meeting. Sorry, I didn't lay that out well for you. but it's that version of like we got to shut the doors and we're going to talk this out and strong arm the administration into the next hire i don't know but i love michael irvin and i hope he fucking i hope he yells a lot at this player's only meeting i hope they bring the texas guy the texas you motherfuckers coach from the bus which i have no problem with that guy's rant no problem at all you've never played on a football team if you've never heard something like that

i don't know they don't do that at redacted realty no but they need to bring that That guy down there, they need Warren Sapp, they need Michael Irvin, they need the whole nine yards to fix that program. And now that I've shit on his alma mater, here's Michael Irvin. No, but when I think about the Cowboys, I think about Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving's coming up. Whether you like it or not, the Cowboys are going to be on TV on Thanksgiving. And whether you like it or not, it's probably better when they're good. The games are more interesting.

Make, we have three indoor games again on Thanksgiving. It's going to make a sleepier. on the day. Triple trip to fame. Mm, all right? Like triple trip. That's what happens when you put three indoor football games on TV. We didn't go to the fucking indoor facility

to play backyard football as kids. We went out in the yard and there was shitty grass. Detroit, Dallas, and New Orleans. Disgusting, okay? In protest, I'm not gonna talk about those games at all right now or what I think's gonna happen, because I don't even care, because they're inside and they're going to be the lighting is shitty.

New Orleans lighting is depressing in that in that in it. Right? Yeah. Who else did you say Houston? Detroit. Detroit? Okay. Detroit. Give me the other one. Dallas. Dallas, obviously. And the lighting in Dallas sucks because I don't know if you're inside or you're outside. Pick one. Fuck that. Got a little worked up over Thanksgiving. It really pisses me off, man. But Michael Irvin and I talk about a whole bunch of stuff and that'll be

be fun. And at the end of the pod here, we've got some read around the world. He's got some headlines for us to get us through your hump day.

One of my favorite players growing up because he was a physical wide receiver. His name is Michael Irvin. He's Pro Football Hall of Famer. You know him. Mike, what's up, man? Hey, man, how are you, man? I'm doing well. I'm not bad. I'm doing well because the

Cowboys doing well, so all the things are good things right now, you know? I saw you got to stare down Stephen A. this morning and give him the business after that Cowboys win yesterday against the Falcons. Yeah, because, hey, think about that, though, man. Is that not crazy? Because sometimes when I'm doing like self-evaluation, I'm like, like how we let like football just get, it controls everything we do. You know what I mean? We just get so drawn into it, man.

It blows my mind, man. But it's such a great game and it requires so much, you know, not just athletic ability, connectivity, all of that, man. And it has so many great stories, man. I just love it. And being a cowboy and being a hurricane, It's like you got the two most like fevering alumni bases

and everything. You got dude, you got a players only meeting coming up Thursday. We're players. Do fucking players only meetings work? And you guys are having an alumni players only meeting doubting in Coral Gables? Is that what's going on? You guys are going to fix this thing, close the doors, fix this shit

in Miami? Yeah, that's what they're setting up, man. They're absolutely Melvin Braddon and all those guys and they reached out to him. Of course, I'm all over the world working. But yeah, that's what it is. That's what I'm talking about. That's the love and the passion that's wrapped around it.

And you guys really believe we want to come together and figure it out. And then try to do the best they can to help solve the issue, the getting back to what we used to be and what we know we can be. All right. So if you had a choice and it's an impossible choice, I feel like you might not answer this question. But beginning of us. season. You can either have a UM National Championship or a Cowboys Super Bowl. Who are you going

with? You can only have one. Don't play with that, man. Get on out of here. And get on out of here with that. What time I know Chris, they had, I was in Dallas playing and they had one of the top high schools come from Miami to play and they were playing the high school in Dallas. And it was a great game. And it was the news trying to catch them. Who are you pulling for? Who are you pulling for? I said, I'm willing for the city. I want a championship in. And I want a championship in both cities. All you had to say was Chris, you have two kids.

Who's your favorite? I would have been stuck. But then I probably want to tell you, I don't gamble on my kids. So you might have, you might, I don't know who you, if you're gambling on the two teams. I don't know. When you win a national championship, though, in college football, that sets you up for success in the near future. When you win a Super Bowl and football, it doesn't set you up for success.

So I almost feel like, you know, that a natty for U.S. would be so big because it would put you all back on the map, but it's a long way to go before something like that. And help with recruiting in that world, recruiting is so important. In the NFL world, and anybody recruiting, it's about scouting.

It's about getting the business and putting it in the players. So I understand what you're saying from that standpoint. We continue to peel back the layers to why one must be more, maybe a little more important than the other. But pure heart to heart, I want them both. You want to both. Hey, dude, you're a guy who's had it all, man. You've gone out and earned it.

You've had it all your whole life. You've gone out and gotten it. So why not get both? Have you ever, like, broken something, like a remote control or a TV over a Cowboys game? I was kind of wondering, since you played, it's been a lot of ups and downs. I think people finally kind of started to notice it in the last decade. What's the most frustrated you've ever been watching a Cowboys game, not playing in a Cowboys game? Oh, man.

A couple years ago. three years ago, because they had some talent. I don't remember what year was. They were losing a lot of games. And it's how I found that. This would implement so tough as a fan. Because even when I first retired, I realized, wow, this being a fan is some serious business now.

You know what I mean? When you plan, you can do something about it. Yeah. But when you're a fan, you got all these other people in control of all your emotions that's going to go down the rest of the damn week. Like, you know, so, so I'm like, man, you got to ride this thing up and ride it down. And it no matter what.

And I said, I had become a fan where, you know, every Sunday morning, every Sunday after the game, you, you just said, I'm done. That's it. I'm done with the team. You know, you divorced the team. By Thursday, by Thursday night football, you're back at the altar. So it was, it was that pool that said, wow, this is a hard business, man. But I enjoy it.

The emotional swing of a fan after a loss is a lot like our physical swing as players. Like we're good. We'll feel better by Thursday. We'll do something about it as a player. You see what I'm saying? So now I could do some about so next time I get ready to play, I remember this feeling. Okay. I'm going to whip their next dude with ass because I'm going to remember this.

They're going to have this again. As a fan, you just got to ride this out. You can't do nothing about it. Unless you're at a Rams game where they're, fighting like it's the Wild West in the stands. Like you can't whip anybody's that. So I, I wonder because you beat the bills so much and I like you had to feel empathy for that fan base, right? Like if there's any, did you feel sorry for any of the players, the fans like the bills after beating them those few times in 90s? Right, right. And the Super Bowl, the thing is,

I hope they had got one because I feel like you go with four straight Super Bowls and you lose all of them. That's incredible. But by the time they got dusty. You know, it was too late for me to help the field for. You know, you should have got that Washington one for the Giants. Yeah. But we could. Yeah, I mean, and you guys, like, I'm looking at two of the best teams in league right now. I don't know that I trust Josh Allen and the bills the way they've been playing,

but I think come January, I will trust them. And I got to say, I trust the Cowboys, and that's kind of sacrilege on this podcast. But you could see a Bill's Cowboys Super Bowl. And I got to say, if they, if they, if they, lost another Super Bowl to the Cowboys, that would be one of the most tragic football scenarios of all time. That's so crazy. I never thought about that.

Think about it, man. It could happen, dude. You're going to, like, it could absolutely happen. We can lose three Super Bowls. That'll be insane. Yeah. But I have thought, I have thought about those playing because even when I had Trayvon Diggs on my podcast, I would think about that that'll be Diggs-on-Diggs-Trump.

Yeah, dude. You know, step on. just Trayvon. And I was like, hey man, I asked, I said, man, what's going to happen if it gets to that Super Bowl and it's some Diggs-O-Degs crime? Who wins that battle? Dude. You know what I mean?

So it would be a hype one. It's rough playing against your brother. And I could only imagine on a big stage. Luckily, when my brother played me, it was in St. Louis at the Edward Jones dome. So nobody was watching. It was Bears in 2012. But if you're playing in the Super Bowl, that's insane. And on top of that, like me and my bro didn't line up over each other.

So like- Right. But you can talk to that. And that's a hell of a thing there. Yeah, dude. You know what I'm saying? That's a hell of a thing

that you could say, yeah, you're with that bro, with all that little best, whatever y'all did, argue, said you were better about growing up, you know,

yeah, that's some manly stuff, that bro-to-brose stuff, right? That's pretty damn cool, dude. And they're both great dudes. I love the Diggs brothers. Diggs, to me,

is so risk-reward, but like some of the best players in our game are risk-reward. And fans don't know it. You have to take chances to make big plays. A lot of times, like, sure, somebody might beat you on a slant. You might need safety help now and again. Do you think that if you're a safety in that defense, if you're a guy in that secondary, you know that coming in a game. Like, hey, this

guy's going to take his chances. We have to be ready to clean up for him and he makes us better as a result. Right, right. And that's how they have to play. You know what I mean? And him taking those chances. See, we call him taking chances. played the position of receiver. He's really calculating. He's trying to take an educated calculation at the whole play. He sees the drops. You know what I mean?

He tries to read a drop. Seas the beginning of a route. When the route begins, as I was just I play receiver, I usually know where the catch point is in that route. So it becomes playing angles. Oh, you know what I mean? Can I beat him to that spot? And he has some incredible hand.

That's why I don't want him to stop. I want him to always take those chances. But they got to be educated chances. You know, you're up 14 right here. This is a good time. I can take a chance and it won't kill me if I'm wrong. Or if I'm right, I can put a game away. You see what I mean?

So, yeah, I much rather also have a dude that you got to say, hey, man, stop. Come on back. Slow down. Yeah, rather than speed up to say, come on, take a chance, take a chance. It's always easier to work with that dude. that you guys say come on slow down it's funny because like as pass rushers we take chances we might get gash in the run game you can't get those mistakes back in the secondary those are plays that's why being a corner is the loneliest place on the planet is because like if i jump out of my gap

taking a chance probably five fans at home notice seven yard gain but you know the safety's knocking a 40 50 yard gain down everybody knows whose fault that was everybody knows how covered two works everybody you know what i mean so there's a lot of pressure being that guy And I saw you and Diggs talking, but I think, you know, the one thing that makes this Cowboys team go, you and I know is Dak. Like, Dak is a central piece, man. I think he's, I think this is his month to be talked about as an MVP. I thought Lamar's month was last month. It was Herbert's three weeks before that. I think now Thanksgiving time, the way you guys get on TV and the way we talk about the Cowboys, you're actually good this year.

This could be his year. I saw your tweet yesterday, and I have to agree with you. You're up 36-3. I don't need you to truck the fucking safety To get in the end zone Dude listen man I felt my heart jumped I stayed I waited

I stopped I didn't breathe for a moment I felt the tear Starting to come up And then when he raised his hand I said oh okay And then I just had to say Don't do that shit again

Never You know what I mean Because the doc did hurt It's over Yeah This is over It's a little fun thing and this little fun ride is gone.

It's over. Stop playing. Like, like, and right there, right there. Now, I want you to do it. I said, man, I've kind of lucked and went on in there and showed you a man. We know you a man. We know. We know.

We know. We know. We know you're a man. He's a dog. Yeah. And the only time I want to see that is when it's 15 seconds left in the Super Bowl and you did it to win the game. Yeah.

It's over. That didn't even do it. But not. not another time to see. Well, it's situational awareness, too. It's 36.3. It's like you're talking about digs jumping a route up 14 in a game where you know, you just want it under control and keep things in front of you.

It's the same thing. But I know it's hard as DAC is a competitor, and I respect the hell out of this guy to say, I'm not going to truck the safety. Yeah. I love that. I love the fight. Yeah.

I love the fight. Yeah. But I would love better if you know when to fight. It's not. See, we always talk about, you know, want somebody with the fight. That's all great. Yeah.

But it's best to know when to fight with that fight to be very effective. And that ain't the fight right there. So they can cause more harm than you. And the way they've run their quarterback run stuff for a long time, he's in positions where he's one-on-one with the tackler. Like it's just kind of the way he's not a blazer where he's going to get away from you. Like Lamar, Lamar is very good at knowing how not to take hits. If you've noticed that over his career, everybody's like, well, one of these games,

going to get dinged. He just finds the way he's like flexible, he's quick, he's kind of shifting, he's angular. But Kyler Murray's a guy that he gets hurt last year, dings his shoulder, minor thing, it stretches to be a six-week thing. This year we got

the ankle. You saw what happened yesterday. That team's not built for a backup. The offense isn't built for a backup. How does Kyler Murray fix that? You know, how did the Cardinals fix that? Because he's shown he's durability issues, unlike a dad, or Lamar.

Yeah, and that is an issue. And honestly, man, we're talking about that early in this year. I said, man, if you stay healthy, you know, boy, they can do so. They can do, but I knew, I knew. And it just, I don't know. And I don't know how you fix that. How do you fix that? Just these little things that put you out here, put you out here, put you out there.

And guys like Lamar Jackson, too, listen, man, this is trying to chase around a dude like Lamar Jackson. what that dude does with a football in his hand. That's a phenomenal ability to run, stop, move, see people coming. You know what I mean? He's a phenomenal talent. It really is. And thankfully, hasn't gotten sideline with anything because he's pretty smart with the football.

The conversation we're having, he's smart with it. He's also gifted. You know, and when you're smart and you're gifted, it's a winning combination. And he'll slide off to the right or slide off to the left to the old hits. You know what I mean? He's not taking full-on impact. He's real slick with it, man. Where was UM on Lamar Jackson, man?

Because he ends up in Louisville. He's a Florida, dude. Can you imagine, dude? I mean, come on. Yeah. Remember that UM was, I don't know what happened in that whole thing. Because I'm going to tell you something. How did you let him go out,

tear the bridgewater get out? I think Tedder Bridgewater, they wanted to have to have to get out. he wanted to be there or something happened. You know what I mean? Well, that actually, I'm glad you mentioned Teddy Bridgewater. I love Teddy Bridgewater as much as anybody, but we got to call it when we see it. At least I'm going to call it. Do you want your quarterback making that tackle yesterday?

The tackle against the Eagles. Slays got the ball. Slays rumbling for like 70 yards. And we've all looked funky on film before. You try not to do it. But I know there's one side of it's like quarterback shouldn't make tackles. Right. But it's a one-score game.

I was like, that was a rare bad moment for Teddy in my book. It was. And in the only way I would explain to Christian Cree, because I say the same thing, man. And you see how you see you know, quarterback. Now, now we've already made it okay for quarterbacks not to put themselves in harm's way. Right. But that just looks so bad what Teddy did, you know, at that time. But I just caution people to remember this.

this man you know Ray basically lost his career and fought back from an injury you know what I mean I thought about it and I said okay you know considering the context

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I don't know if he would have gotten that man down he's a lot of risk going back to something happening like what I just went through he's like and that was a freak accident you know him getting hurt

in practice. So I just don't know what's in that man here. So I just got to give him just a little. Yeah, I'm giving him a leeway because I love him and he's been like the consummate pro and the best teammate from all accounts and everything. But I was like, oh, Teddy with the business decision, damn dear.

So like, I'm like... I rather you just don't even do anything like fake it like that. The fake was like... I mean, you could just trip. You could fall down. I mean, you play for the Broncos. No question you've been hit by pass rushes before you it's not going to hurt um so receivers now in the league man do you are a big

physical receiver like you played bigger and i don't know if it was just the pads bro but like when i was a kid i was like oh michael irvin six five two 40 you know what i mean like just the way you played and everything um receivers in the league now i don't love comps but do you ever see some of you're like i identify with the way this guy played uh yeah well and and yeah i got guys man you know who i love, man. I love Alan Roberts. Yeah. I love, you know what I mean? No matter who he plays with, he's always playing hard,

no matter what he loves to play football. Because I always try to measure guys by, okay, who is it that like, that loves the lifestyle or who lives for it, or living is his style?

Yeah. You know, living the game. Some people live the game. You know, I want to do that lives the game. He was feeling good about himself It's tied to how he played And how he You know what I mean Everything comes off

How my game is right now And a lot of guys sometimes Are not about living the game They're about They want all the persons That come from the game And they have a talent So they play the game

You know who's saying They play the game But I like that dude that lives it Yeah I mean The thing I respect But Alan Robinson is Any weather man like Hey listen

And I mean that You say like they're losing, they're down 14, they're up 14, Trubisky's your quarterback, Nick Ful's your quarterback, Justin Fields, your quarterback, doesn't matter. So, yeah, a bunch of respect for him. Live in the game, do you think that this generation of players, because we always go back and forth on like,

that generation was tougher, that generation was this, that, and the third. And then you watch the last dance, and they said, like, y'all didn't get along with people on other teams, and Michael Jordan's playing golf with Danny Aange, and I know my dad got dinner with Joe Green before he came in town him and said it in Hartman. So, like, I know that, like, y'all were cool with each other. And maybe if you had social media, your era would act differently.

Do you think that this era is, like, mentally tougher or weaker than your era? What's the comparison? Is it even worth comparing? That's interesting. Because I think, you know, time brings about growth in a lot of ways, you know. I really, okay, just the opportunities to have things. Yeah. You know, Bishop, my bishop, what I was talking about, we came up without a lot of things growing up.

I came up. I was born in 66. We lost Martin Luther King, 6 to 8, so we were in the middle of that kind of a fight, fact, being, you know, civil rights and all of that. So you come up, you come through. When I got in the lead, I sent Chris my mom. I remember sending my mom a first credit card, you know. I'm the 15th or 17 kids, right?

It's nothing. So I sent my mom her first credit card when I got in the league and she calls me and she said, baby, I don't want to get nobody in trouble. But, you know, that lady let me take that food for free. I said, well, what happened? I said, wait a minute, what happened? She said, I went to the grocery store and I got all this food.

And that lady asked me about that carton gave me. I handed to her and just gave it back to me. She didn't even ask me for it anymore. and she let me go. I said, I said, baby, don't worry about it. She said, I didn't even pay for it. I said, we're going to pay for it at the end of the month. Don't worry about it.

So we go from that, we go from that to what it is here now. You know what I mean? We came up in that time where now they're coming up with great opportunities because we built great opportunities for them. The game built great opportunities for them. The game kept growing because of all the sacrifices. So, yes, we got greater athletes in the game than you've ever seen. When I played, I was a big guy, and then they had a small fast guy.

Now the big guy is the fast guy. D.K. McKaff. The D.K., the Julio Jones. It's phenomenal, dog. But my lineman with 300 pounds, but it was 300 pounds of shaking, baking, and jelly. They're 300 pounds and now, dog. They looked like 300 pounds while I received.

He was an alpha fat on alignment. You know what I mean? That thing has, it has evolved. There's something. And it's going to more of a science or all of a yes. Yeah. Yeah. So in some ways, did that make them softer or does it make them smarter?

Yeah, you know what I mean? With more opportunity. I think it's working smart. I think it's working smart. Y'all used to work your asses off. Like my dad, like, y'all didn't need to be in camp that long. Y'all didn't need to do two a days. You didn't need to do tackling that much.

Like, there is a happy medium. finally like figuring it out. And you're right. Like when my dad played, grew up with nothing, comes in a league, defensive player a year, I don't think he made a million dollars that year. Like I come in a league right away, I'm making more money than him. So like, it's just you all built this opportunity for us in every way, not just the salaries, but also the way the game is marketed, which gives way to the social media and the other opportunities. And the social media stuff like, would you look at your mentions after games? It's hard for me to say. You know what You know what I mean?

I did the Madden introduction, this thing they did, this big event they did. And I was emceeing and I did the Madden thing. They were doing the legends introducing the Madden's years ago. They were asking about social media. Let me tell you how I answered. We said, how do you think he could have done with social media? I said, are you joking? Listen, I got in trouble when it was news at 11.

What do you think would have happened with this stuff every second? I couldn't survive news at 11. You know what I mean? This was only every 12 hours, you know, every 24 hours. So I didn't know. I thank God I was not in that era in my youth. You know what I'm saying? Oh, especially the Cowboys in the 90s,

it's like when I think about the Raiders and the 80s, my dad's team, like talking about the old NFL and obviously the White House would have been trending and all that shit. Like all of that. But dude, like you guys won two, three, Super Bowls in four years. You come off one of the Super Bowls. You start 0 and 2. What do you think your mentions would have to look like today, dude? First tape, Twitter, the Chiefs right now, everything the chiefs have to go through. Like they, you know, it's just a different time here because that 24

hour hours. To that, that brings a point that I think is different in this sense. You know, I believe back then you built, you felt, but you got to build a career to really and play well and when to get to build a brand and all of that stuff. Yeah. Now, because of everything, a lot of dudes come, I'm going to build my brand. Yeah. Even when they haven't really built an NFL career. You know what I'm saying?

I haven't really done anything on the field. But the only thing that I always say when I watch that I say disturbed me, when I'm watching now and I see a third down and a receiver, Like so much. So about, like, who? Like, that one, I can't tell you that.

I want all my fucking reps. I want them all, dude. Like, I used to just, I mean, like, the game changed that way.

Yeah, on third down. Money downs. Okay, you want to do that first down? You're tired. Okay, first down,

we're going to be able to try it. We're going to run the ball probably here. Yeah. But on third down and three, four, we're going to throw the ball. This is,

I don't care. I tell you, it's not the time to be said, I need a break. I need a rep. You know what I'm saying? But I see that. And that blows my mind.

All right. A couple quick hitters before we get you out of here. We're talking about the old NFL. I'll just stick here. Worst motherfucking you ever got. Or who was the most prolific cuss out coach? I think I know the answer here. Was it Switzerland?

Was it Landerie or was it Jimmy Johnson? Oh, no. Because Langer did use in profane words at all. Okay. Yeah, he was going to find the fuck. Yeah, yeah, he's out. Jimmy, Jimmy being a psychologist, wouldn't allow the words, the words, shouting out the profane words to take away from the point he's trying to get across. Good, yeah.

Because he's a psychology. You know what I'm saying? But Barry, Barry is a good old country boy. That gamut. You know what I'm saying? The beer a drug. Okay. So I would have to say, it.

In that category, it would be bearer. But Bear is a good man. Yeah. Bear is a good man. I love Barry Switz. Good people cuss. Good people cuss, dude. I cuss my ass off in here.

He didn't cuss. You didn't cut with being malicious. It's just he dropped it sometime. You know, he dropped. Let me tell you a quick story, man. We were, I felt so great for him. Because we had won the last Super Bowl, Barry was the coach.

He had gone through some tough time. And we had, you know, going through a tough time, taking it over for Jimmy. I'm back to back Super Bowls and all of that and how it fell apart and then him coming on and people blaming him and Jared for doing something behind, give me back and

destroying the dynasty. So then we lose that next year, you know, and it all it's all better and fall. But then we get a chance to win that final following year. We had a celebration after winning the Super Bowl, big celebration in the hotel.

I was so happy for Barry. you know, after I was leaving, we were leaving to go to the Pro Bowl. After you play the Super Bowl, you have a team celebration. You go to Pro Bowl. I'm walking down the hall. And there was in the hall.

And his key out, trying to get in his room. He was so drunk. You know, he was so happy. He had just won the Super Bowl. All that week and they got over here. You know, he had the Super Bowl now. And he was trying to get into the room

I came by. He said, God damn it magic. He called him a magic. I was like, God. Magic, make me crazy.

Magic. Magic. What? I just coached him over you. I grabbed him. I walked him forward about three feet. And put the key in. He was standing way off from the door.

I just put the door. Open the door and sit him on there. He was so great. I felt so good for him. Because that was his. his moment. You know what I mean? Yeah. We had won the Super Bowl. I love Barry. It was a good man.

I know. You stuck up for him, man. I've heard good things about him. So old NFL, who smoked the most new ports in the locker room in the 80s? Because my dad told me it was just like you needed an ashtray in the locker rooms in the 80s. Who could smoke the most squares when you got in the league? Did they stop before you got the league? That was right before my time because I remember seeing it. too. I remember saying like Mike Roseir, because he was in Houston.

I remember seeing the pop up. This was out there in Miami. Because remember there? Yeah, Roseena had already going through with Miami-Bade Nebraska that year. I was coming in a freshman that year. So they were in the league and I used to see him. But they smoked a cigarette

by the time I got there. I didn't get a chance to see it. But I thought that was funny, man. I thought that was funny. Incredible. Super Bowl Raiders with my pops and Alzado and all those crazy motherfuckers. and then the Cowboys from the 90s. If you're meeting an alley, what's happening, dude?

Yeah, that would be a dirty brawl right there. It would be a dirty bra. But it'll be a perfect team, man, because, you know, all of us, that we were all cut from the same clock. Yeah. Really? Yep. You know what I'm saying?

We winning. We're coming in. We don't care that you don't like it. We go win. We're going to do what we want to do. And ain't nothing you can do about it. It was, yeah. Those are great times, man.

Those are great times. Who was that person that nobody messed with or who was just crazy bullying people all the time? That would be Charles Hayley. Yeah, Charles Hayley. I've heard Charles Hayley's stories. Yeah, that would be Charles Hayley. Charles Hayley was just, you know, it was all good. Yeah, no, you can read the stories online.

We won't tell them here. He was crazy for real. Yeah. He was crazy for real. He was crazy for real. I do his charity events right now, man. And he has all these big money white people in Dallas, man, and he donate to his charity.

He does a lot of great stuff now, no joke, really. A lot of great stuff for the kids, feed the kids, turkish, he does all of it. Every year does all of this. And all of the people. So he asked me all the time to come in. I say, I'm going to come and I say, I'm going to come and I said, listen, I'm busy.

I tell people I travel all around the country to work. I said, but I just wanted to come here just to tell y'all, y'all some great people. Y'all some great white folks. All you great white folks, how can y'all, Y'all know Charles Hayden is crazy for real. It's on the internet. And y'all still show up and you donate all your money.

Anybody eating turkey on the field in the pandemic? No. They stopped that a few years ago, huh? Did they stop it?

I don't know. It's not like when we were kids and Munch and John Madden was a part of the John Madden just reaching into the turkey in front of the play. No, no chance. We're never going to see a turkey eating on the field again. Ever. Yeah, no, we will. Okay.

Why the hell not? Why the hell not? I want to go back to Turkey. I'm going to fry one this year, by the way. Oh. Yeah, I'm pretty excited about that. Reid, you got some headlines for us? A couple headlines here.

I know about the satellite one. I know you're going to bring us to say because it's the biggest news of the week, right? That's right. But we don't know much about these. I mean, haven't even heard some of them so we did not prep for these no so read around the world number one russia blows up old satellite NASA boss out NASA boss outraged as i s s cruise shelters from debris so russia sent an anti-satellite missile into space to blow up a defunct signals intelligence

satellite that was launched in 1982 because it was blown up all of the debris is now circling in in space. We're like Saturn. In the Milky Way, Reid. Is it in the Milky Way? No, we're somewhere in there. It's right outside of our atmosphere, man. It's right up there where the satellite's fly or something.

It's up there and they've got a bunch of, um, they got a bunch of Russian used car parts, like just orbiting. We are the white trash Saturn now. Like we, we literally are. I mean, that's right. I'm with the NASA guy. I'm outraged about this. You need to communicate these plans and we need to be in.

involved in the discussions. Russia communicate plants. They're drinking rail vodka over there, dude. They're just like, listen, it's a lot like tannerite, which is a thing that people used. It's the thing people used to blow things up, like stumps, ideally, like stumps of trees and things like that. But then people graduated blowing up various, like, you know, decoys or things for fun.

And I've participated before, shame to say. Damn. But yeah, it's a lot of fun. But what you're not supposed to do is put the tannerite in a car or anything like that because the shrapnel can fly up in the air and hit people like 300 yards away. So the Russians went a step too far with the tannerite and blew up basically in 1982 satellite. This is them blowing up used cars. And you're not supposed to do that with tannerite.

And you're not supposed to do that with satellites either. When you get a mortgage, you promise not to house dynamite in your home. Yeah. part of what you're signing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know.
