For those of y'all listening at home, I'm drinking a delicious ice beverage from Taco Bell. You do Taco Bell, mate? No, I'm sick for the 14th consecutive show. I have Pepto-Bismol. If you weren't sick, would you do Taco Bell? No. Five symptom relief. Nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach.

You know, if you're sick, what would do just as well is you could just eat a pound of Taco Bell and you would just shit it all out. Diarrhea. That's good. That's good. Let's start the show. It's going to be the best show of all time. Welcome to Green Light. This is going to be...

Thank you. Welcoming the listeners. I am Chris Long. This is my co-host of sorts. Are you a co-host? Making Gunner. Yep. You are?

Well, yeah. I'm always here. And they're... I'm usually here. There are two seats. You've been sick a lot. I'm a co-host or a guest. And I'm a guest.

a regular guest at that. Your autoimmune system is a little bit shaky, and I'm starting to wonder if we can count on you. Yeah. You gave me a good pep talk last night. You said this coming month, December 14th through January the 13th, is a new month for me. Yeah, consider it a month. I'm going to be on a healthy streak. What's happened to you this month?

Let's do the health rundown. A common cold that sat me down for about three weeks. Who gets a common cold? and can't do shit for three weeks. And we had the old upset stomach overnight on Tuesday and didn't do much Wednesday or Thursday, really. Friday made a couple moves and building strength back. This pepto is not just a prop.

It's a part of my life now. It's a solution. How many LBs are you down? I don't know. I don't check that. I'm not an LB guy. Over under, I'm going to set the over under on Macon's weight right now

at 164 pounds. People on the set, you're taking the over the under. Shout it out. We got two unders and one over. I don't think we talk about my weight often. I don't want to shame you. And the 164 actually was probably a pretty good line and I will let you know on our next show.

Okay, great. Okay, great. The big news today is last night I was... I was on my way home from my last NFL next show with the wonderful folks at NFL Films. By the way, Steve Sable built an empire up there. It's the coolest thing in the world. You go in there, you can see anything you want

from any era of football. And I'm not the biggest football historian, but it's pretty fucking cool. And it's cool to see that he had such an effect on how that building was laid out, like, you know, soup to nut, right? Soup to nuts. Is that the saying?

Nuts. Soup to nuts. My man laid it out perfectly. The building is like sprawling with many corridors and there's a bunch of pictures of football players on the wall. So the way you learn to get around is you take a right at like Reggie White or you take a left at like, you know, Andre Reisen. And that's how people navigate that building.

Anyways, great season NFL next. Shout out to Kay Adams who claims to be a friend of the program and listens a lot. is another test to see if you listen to program, K. She doesn't follow me on the internet. Yeah, K, follow making. Also, glad you're getting a new iPhone. K has been just totally reckless rolling with a iPhone 4 from circa 2011. 4S.

Whatever it is, is S better than just a regular 4? I think 4S is after the 4. I don't know if it's better or not. We're cutting hairs here. It was a shitty phone. And it was pink. And for weeks, I said, you ought to get a phone cover. it looked like she took a baseball bat to it yesterday.

So I'm really congratulations to her for wrecking that piece of shift phone and getting a new one. You're only on eight high-paying shows. Maybe, you know, join the 2019s when it comes to the technology. Also, James Coe, analytics guru, next-gen stats, fantasy guru, who gave Matt Conrath the advice that's going to get him in the chair to get died tips. when it came out of D.K. Metcalf or Diggs that fateful night.

And Conrath had a choice to make per James Coe. He went with Diggs. And that is the difference. And that's what's going to make him look like a guy from Smashmouth or Guy Fieri. I can't wait. And we're going to get them on the show soon to die the tips. But long story short,

I was on the way back from the show and I was hungry as shit. Because on Thursdays, I don't like eat for a long time because I'm just too busy. and I thought to myself, where could I drive through quickly and have a good meal? And Taco Bell popped into my head. It had been about a decade since I've had Taco Bell. When was the last time you had Taco Bell?

A little over a decade, but we're probably talking one handworth of Taco Bell visits lifetime, but last time in college. I have a few hands worth of Taco Bell visits just in a month in my high school days. when I had a metabolism that was much more capable of absorbing all the ingredients in these very authentic tacos. Yeah, I got a weak stomach. For the people listening, we sent the boys out to go get to procure some of the best and brightest new dishes and old dishes at Taco Bell, because I haven't been in a decade, and I'm hungry. I haven't eaten lunch. So this, this, that is a cheesy gordita.

crunch. Haven't had one of these in a decade. Now this is lukewarm right now, but it looks delicious. Luke. I'm going to eat it right now. It's been a decade. Is it as good as I remember? We also have,

what do we have Cowboy Rita? Doritos, Locos. Yeah, you get Doritos. Cinnabons out there. Doritos Locos, Cinebonds. I have the Mountain Dew inspired icy drink and I have a strawberry colored drink.

No appleofanadas. No apple impanadas, which was, hold on, I'm going to just fucking eat. I'm hungry. I don't even want to touch this cardboard. Oh, that's a Taco Bell pizza. Golly, this is good. Imagine if this cheesy gordita crunch was not room temperature. Oh, so good.

Lettuce. This isn't a steel of base, steal a taco wrap. Isn't that from the All-Star break? What? Yeah, it says steal a base, steal a taco. Maybe the World Series, but still, none of this stuff is... Taco Bell. Is this out of date?

They pre-packaged this shit in like June or July, and we're just eating old Taco Bell shit. Hey, by the way, not a sour cream guy necessarily all the time. No. The good news is room temp sour cream isn't the worst thing in the world. I was going to say, somebody online told me like, yeah, I'll wash it. down with some strawberry drink. Not as good as the Mountain Dew drink.

Mountain Dew drink, pretty fucking good. Yeah, this is an icy Mountain Dew-inspired drink that I'm... Hey, and the listeners should know that this video service is free 99. Yeah, on the YouTube platform. Free of charge on the YouTube channel. Chalk Media, Greenlight Pod, see all the fish bowls. We'll never see this again. what God, God, what is God?

God willing. Yeah, Lord willing. You know, this is like the lettuce on this thing. The iceberg lettuce is like you got it from a farmer's market. Where are they getting their locally sourced ingredients here? Somebody told me last night that if I'm going to go to Taco Bell, the scoop is that they have these new things that are called apple empignatas. Empanadas? Empanadas.

You would think it would be empignata. because a pinata is a pinata I don't know it sounds disgusting to me it sounds like a high risk high reward purchase from Taco Bell if I were to liken it to a football signing it would be Antonio Brown

you're going to wreck the locker room gonna be productive won't know till tomorrow yeah and I'm kind of glad they were out of Apple and pinnadas at Taco Bell but oh this cheesy gordita crunch it's like meeting an old friend

that you just pick right up and it's like you never miss the day since my locker room is already wrecked I'm about to take down some Bismuth subsylaculate 525 MGs of that

good stuff gonna go right down the hatch Holy shit is this farm to table yeah this is naturally occurring. Yeah, they don't have pink food in nature, bro. This is all nature right here.

Also, I don't want to eat my whole cheesy gordita crunch, and I'm going to be eating through the entire pod. I probably won't eat that Taco Bell pizza. For those of you watching on YouTube, that is what a Taco Bell pizza looks like. I actually don't look that bad, actually. Now I'm picking it up. Let me take a bite.

Oh, ah! Not good, huh? Oh, he spit it out. He spit it out. What are you six? You just spit it out. I was disgusting. I'm overheating.

What did it taste like? Um, like I ate a piece of carpet from like the floor of a commercial airliner. Oh. That hasn't been cleaned in a while. Let's try the Dorita. Is this the Doritos? Locos? By the way, Reed, is this it?

Cowboy Reed? Yep, exactly. Okay. Ech, that looks kind of gross. I feel like I should be making this more compelling, audially. No, not into the Doritos Locos. But I'm legitimately disgusted by what you're doing and concentrating.

I'm cracking a beer. It's the weekend. Concentrating on not. I'm cracking a Waterboys champion brewing company, local. Waterboys, shout out to Waterboys, shout out to Champion. delicious beer is going to wash these gorditas down as we run through the open here.

How do you fucking put lipstick on a pig with that thing? With that Taco Bell pizza? I guess If we empty out the pizza and your spit up from this box, would you sign it and maybe give it to a listener or a viewer?

I would be very afraid of that listener or viewer that would be willing to procure that item. Just a thought. Oh, Mountain Dew is so good, though. So last night, I said last show. Let me grab this, Gordita. Last show at NFL Next, and it was wonderful. We had Ed Reed.

Ed Reed, when you meet somebody who's a god in the game of football, which is what Ed Reed is, being humble, being personable, is not always an automatic. This cat is all of the above, really engaging, really good on TV and very chill. The only thing that was screwed up for me was, excuse me, that was a mountain dew burp. I see mountain dew burp. Like when you're sitting there on set with him, he's just like one of those ultimate vets

that you could just listen to, tell stories and riff on issues in the NFL and like, whatever. I could listen to Ed Reed, talk about anything football related. and I'm on set and he makes his first point during the broadcast and like people are looking to me like oh kicking it back to you Chris and I'm just like that was cool oh fuck I got to do the show too so it was a little bit you know it certainly I've done shows with a lot of cool people we just did one with Dwight Freeney he played my position he's one of the greatest of all time but Ed Reed was was something cool you know just sharing a set with him and and also

they gave me a nice present at the end of at the end of the year the Amazon folks, NFL Next folks, gave me this cool picture. They framed one of my favorite pictures of all time. That's Robert Quinn, Nick Fairley, Michael Brockers, myself, William Hayes, Aaron Donald, not pictured, Eugene Sims, Kendall Langford, and more. That was the best defensive line I ever played on.

No disrespect to any other D-lines. Holy shit, that was like 300 sacks before it's all sudden done with that group there. I mean, because Rob's now north of 70, Aaron Donald will be at 100 before you know it a bunch of those guys were underrated

we had a lot of a lot of dogs on that group a lot of fun dudes William Hayes shout out to William Hayes one of the best teammates I ever had very underrated player oh another burp starting to be the beer

and the tacos now not to discuss any of the listeners out there but I also want to shout out the man of the year guys nominees right hard right turn here. Yeah.

He took another bite. You know, one of the worst things about winning the man of the year is the overcoming, the overpowering guilt as associated with being named

the man of the year when you just don't feel like you're the best guy. You know, there's 32 dudes who are all amazing people and do amazing work. And the fact that one person has to win It kind of sucks. And I never felt good about that last year. I mean, I'm like going to the thing with everybody.

I'm like, what if I win? Like, these dudes are all like better dudes to me. And also the thing about the man of the year is, everybody will always have you with that gotcha moment. If you ever do something they don't like, it's not just they're shocked and they're mad, they're disappointed, you know? Yeah.

And I also don't know if the voters were saying, you are the best person. Well, I hope not. I think your contributions are so outsized that you are worthy of the honor. Yeah, no doubt. Just people need to understand. I'm a good person. I'm not the best person.

You know what I mean? And I just think under promise, over-deliver has always been my motto. It's hard to do that when they make you stand up there and talk about world peace. Like, you know, like among all these amazing dudes in this room. and the legacy of the guys that came before us is just humbling. So I want to shout those guys out. I mean, they're all winners.

Everybody got nominated last year was a winner. You know, guys I'd like keep an eye on. Obviously, Malcolm Jenkins, my teammate, who's nominated this year. Also, Kyle Rudolph, who deserves to win. I mean, this guy does a ton of great work. Go check out what he does. Greg Olson got snubbed so many times.

Holy shit. Not that I think there's a award really, I mean, it means something because it legitimizes your charity and whatnot, but the good work you do stands alone. Like, you don't need any awards. But Greg Olson been stumped so many times. I think one time there were like two guys that won, and he had to, like, stand there with the two guys that won it.

Like, what the fuck? He also probably thought it was a little weird that I won it because Greg Olson, I used to crash his couch in college on spring break. He had a brother, has a brother. Christian. Christian Olson, Virginia quarterback. And I used to go with. with Chris down to South Beach, spring break, college kid,

crash on Greg Olson's couch, absolutely trashed the place. Like a fucking animal. And I think probably when I won, he was looking at me like, this guy? This guy? So it owes me a dry cleaning bill. Yeah, I do. I owe him a couple bills probably from those weekends.

So shout out to the man of the year, guys. I also wanna, I wanna make this a Friday thing, Because you're such a music fan, right? Yes. Download a lot of new music. Yes. A lot of Kenny Chesney, different live albums. Yeah, actually.

I do. What happens when you run out of Kenny Chesney? Just go back. I go back. Oh, nice. You just go back. Good job, yeah. No problem.

It's a funny story about making between, well, I want to talk about music. That's a long story. short here but the funny thing with making is we used to ride around in his white Jeep Grand Cherokee. Khan. In high school was black. In college there was a white one.

Fuck me. He dropped Gordita on his shirt. Oh my gosh. It's a nice shirt too. Come on. Are we going to... I'm trying to do a pod here. I guess I need a new one.

It's stained. Don't worry about it. We'll get a new shirt. We're monetized on YouTube. He just wiped Gordi. on his sleeve tattoo as if that. It'll blend in. Doesn't touch his body.

There's no time to, where was I? Funny story about a Jeep. Yeah, all the Grand Cherokee's you've had. Sounds like the start of a Kenny Chesney song. Well, we used to ride and rock out to Kenny Chesney. In fact, we went up and saw Kenny Chesney. And that was when Richie Incognito saw us in the crowd and came over because we played together and he ripped your shirt.

Yeah. Said hello. Introduce himself and ripped my shirt. Hello, nice to meet you. Yeah. Kenny Chesney, it was always Kenny Chesney. Who else do you mix in with Kenny Chesney?

Eric Church. Man, what range. But you were ranging because sometimes I would get in the car and you would play me your play-by-play. We would just be riding in the car and making you used to do, what did you do, high school basketball? Well, the pinnacle of the career

was the 08 ACC Terny when the Virginia Sports Radio Network used to cover every single game of the ACC tourney. Can't have one guy do all those games. Yeah, so you would do that sometimes. So I did a few games, and yeah, I had the, I believe you called it a CD that I would roll around with and play occasionally.

You like CDs? I called a Carolina game in that ACC tournament. That Carolina team won the 90 title with Tyler Hansborough. So I used to get in the car and have to listen to his play-by-play, the entire ride to where were we going? Like, no, I couldn't. listen to music, nothing. I had to listen to, you know, one of my best friends just talk more,

which I'm paying you back for now a decade plus later. But I want to do this thing on Friday. It's called, well, it's not really called anything. It's what I'm listening to lately. And anybody listening to the pod, please aggregate your suggestions based on my musical taste and Macon's musical taste, which consists of Eric Church and Kenny Chesney and possibly Luke Brian. When it's my turn, you'll see that I have, what's the word? Range. Evolved.

So there's three songs, first off, there's three songs that I've probably been on listening to a lot this week. Number one for Jane's Addiction Fans, of which I am a moderate Jane's Addiction fan. Summertime Rolls is skyrocketing on my list of Jane's songs. I think it's about ecstasy. Don't know. Neither of us do ecstasy.

No. We don't do drugs. X. X, as the kids call it. Yeah. Yeah. I think the kids are doing stuff like Molly now. Right.

Yeah. Sounds like it's all bad to me. I like life enough as it is. I don't need that stuff. Yeah. Where are you on weed? Cannabis? Uh-huh.

I am high on cannabis. Okay. Got it. I could use some cannabis right now to make this Gordita a little bit more delicious than it already is. He's on number two. This is a song off 1998 album, nothing, or 1988 album, nothing shocking. Again, it's summertime rolls. Check it out. If you don't like Jane's, go back and look. This is a great song.

They had a lot of influence on like a ton of people you don't realize about it. Like, if you go back and listen to Jane's Addiction in the 80s, like they were ahead of their time. And they influenced people like red hot chili peppers. I mean, Flea played with them at one point. But they just had too many breakups, I think, was the problem. And they couldn't keep up with the scene they created. I wish Jane's addiction could have done it again

and realize their full potential. I have another burp coming. Is that the beer? Also, another one is Elmer. Elmore James, Elmore James dust my broom. He is the slide guitar king, if you are not familiar with this cat. Sky is crying is also a great song. But this is a new one for me as far as being in the rotation heavily.

It's my AM shower song. Nothing gets you going in the morning like a little slide guitar. Originally not his, a little history lesson on him. That was Robert Johnson, 1936, who wrote that song. Elmore learned on a didly bow, which I had no clue what that was. Maybe some music snobs do. But amazing, the ingenuity, some people who were really influential in this era, had to apply to learn music and create music in the Deep South.

So my man died at 63 of a heart attack in Chicago, or in 63. Had a bad, he didn't live that long. He had a bad heart condition. He influenced a lot of my favorite artists. Stevie Ray Vaughn, for sure, Keith Richards, and then Frank Zappa, who was a great guitarist, questionable personal life, political views, etc. Who will we be listening to in 70 years?

Because I'm thinking about Elmore James, like somebody like that or anybody that was playing in the 50s and we're still listening to it 70 years later, I don't know. Who are we going to be listening to in the year 2100? 2090. It's a very good question. I do have a lot of Motown in my catalog.

Perhaps the Motown that we listen to today. Could still be listened to. 50 years old will be 150 years old. And I'll still be listening. I think we might be listening to Sound and Fury in 70 years. You know what that is?

Yeah. Fucking guy doesn't listen to any music. Also, it is Goat Week. It is Otis Redding Week. Otis Redding passed away in 1967, December 10th, in a plane crash in Wisconsin. My son Luke, his middle name is Redding. There were a couple names in the mix.

Whitman was one for the Walt Whitman Bridge. Did a little reading on Walt Whitman's personal ideology. I decided to pass on that. Otis Redding, he's the goat. I like him even more than Sam Cook, Marvin Gay. any of that. I know that could be controversial. It's not that I don't enjoy Sam Cook, and I love that documentary. It just came out.

And by the way, including Sam Cook's original recording of change is going to come. I like Otis is better. I don't know if that's a hot take. Is that fucked up to say? Somebody on set said no. No.

One's a lot cleaner. And one's just a little bit more raw. And ironically, a lot like Sam Cook, Otis didn't get to enjoy possibly his biggest hit, which he recorded right before he died and that plane crashed tragically, was Doc of the Bay. He didn't really, and that's the one most people know,

but he didn't really get to enjoy that. A lot like change is going to come, which obviously Sam Cook died, was killed in Los Angeles, I believe it was. You go check that documentary out. It's pretty good. But the song I've been listening to a lot, and I've been bumping Otis all week, is I've been loving you too long.

Tremendous song. Go to my Twitter. Check out the video that I posted the other day. It is mystifying. It's easily one of my favorite songs that he did. And when you look at Otis Redding, like song rankings, nobody gets it right. And that's the beautiful thing about Otis Redding is like you could like any number

of his songs. There's no right answer. But try a little tenderness. Probably a little bit overrated, in my opinion. Not my cup of tea. I had to pick a favorite right now. It's you don't miss your water. And Sturgle covers that a lot.

He's covered it a few times. I think I've seen him cover it once or twice. It's one of my favorite songs of all time. I also like Tennessee Waltz. I've been loving you too long, cigarettes and coffee. Gosh. I think you like my lover's prayer. Yep.

Lover's Prayer. I have a whole list here. I'm forgetting half of them. So anyways Oh there they are I had a whole list here I wrote it on the board Um

Lovers Prayer Doc of the Bay I think is way down But if I was doing the greatest hits You would also include Deeper cuts Like Let Me In Too Late is one that people know a lot From sampling fame

Uh Rock me baby Pain in my heart And of course Change is gonna come I don't know if you can count that in the greatest hits catalog because it's not his, his, but an all-time classic. Also, did a lot philanthropically, which I had no idea.

I was doing some more reading on him this week, and he had like a camp for disadvantaged kids and all that stuff. Like, he seemed like a good dude, man. Major man crush on Otis Redding. If I had a list and we can do this another time of artists, you wish were cryogenically frozen. Han Solo. Otis is in that list. No doubt about it. So, what's next? Nice list. Well, let me talk to you about my weekend music. And I want to take you back to last Saturday. I go back.

At the Atlantic Coast Conference Football Championship game, which is where on our football road trips, I listen to the bulk of my music. Put the AirPods in. I'm on bus four. They're four buses. Three buses are full of football players and football coaches, bus four support staff. And you're not even a former football player, for the record, for people wondering out there, I think a lot of people, because you're hulking frame.

Yeah, just a guy. But I wear the gear, and I got a cool backpack, and I got AirPods, and I get off near the front of the bus where, you know, players and coaches, such as Marcus Hagen's are getting off, So I'm walking right behind Coach Hagan's on Saturday. And the ABC, no, and the ABC cameras are in our faces. So I'm thinking, you know, I might get a little screen time because it'll get Biscuit.

Biscuit starts to fumble with his suitcases. And so then I know we're not going to be on the pregame cut of the who's walking into Bank of America Stadium. But I wanted to read to you, if that's okay, what was in my ears? Holy shit. Yeah, can you do that? But can I note that these are amazing? What are these? I don't know. Show me the inside.

What are these? Reed, Cowboy Reeve. Tequitos. It looked like a tequito, but they got something else going on with the wrapping. Can I see the inside? Oh, orange and brown. Nice. So this is what I was listening to.

And I think it might give you a glimpse into a wider range, as you said earlier. Oh, my God. His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy. There's vomit on his sweater already Mom's spaghetti He's nervous but on the surface He looks calm and ready To drop bombs but he keeps on forgetting

What he wrote down The whole crowd goes so loud He opens his mouth but the words won't come out He's choking how Everybody's joking now The clocks run out Times up over blow Adele snap back to reality

Oh there goes gravity Ope there goes rabid He choked he's so mad but he won't give up that easy No he won't have it He knows his whole backs of these ropes It don't matter He's dope. He knows that, but he's broke. He's so stagnant. He knows when he goes back to this mobile home. That's when it's back to the lab again. Yo, this whole rhapsody. Better go capture this moment you don't pass him. You've got to lose yourself in the music the moment you're showing it. Better never let it go. Go. You only get one shot. So that is, lose yourself. A song by American rapper Eminem from the soundtrack, the 2002 motion picture, 8 Mile. And that's what I had walking into the stadium last week.

So that's your song of the week? Yes. Lose Yourself by M&M. Yeah, that would have been cool if we did this podcast about 16 years ago. The song incorporates several aggressive themes, largely dealing with the struggles dealt with by B Rabbit and how he eventually overcomes his many problems and obstacles to gain the respect of other rappers.

Holy shit. There's a tie in there because we're trying to gain the respect of other podcasters. Yeah, and just average Joe is trying to mix. in with the football players and coaches. Right, and we're self-deprecating. Yeah. Well, yeah. Yeah.

I mean, what I just did was serious. No, I don't. Yeah. In general. That's great, man. I'm glad you're listening to 20-year-old rap songs. Thanks. I'm glad you're listening to 70-year-old.

Awesome music. Yeah, okay. Garrett Cole this week, you can buy a lot of talk about. Yeah. Buy a lot of haircuts. he already bought he bought himself a haircut he signed with the uh he's a pitcher

big baseball watcher so i've been watching him a lot and uh can you spell garrett g-e-r-r-t you got it um evidently he grew up a yankees fan in California

fucking frontrunner well he just signed a 340 or 324 million dollar deal with the Yankees so it begs the question that before he totally sold out and sold his soul. Is he the richest guy in the world with a mullet? No, the answer is no.

Richard Branson is. Uh-huh. You would classify that as a mullet, wouldn't you, Richard, there? I guess so. I think the question is, is he combing that back in front? Does it qualify as flow?

Yeah, my man's got my man's hair. Okay. Yeah, he'll brush it back. Verified mullet. Yeah, very. And when you mix the mullet with the, I don't want to, I don't want to assume,

but I think that's dyed. The mullet? His hair. Yeah, your son has a mullet. Yeah, Whalen has a mullet. I remember the first time Whelan saw Mike Gundy on TV. It was magical.

Yeah. It was like that moment that kids in the Gatorade commercial saw Michael Jordan drivet dribbling in basketball. Whalen saw that. He didn't know what the fuck he wanted to do, but he wants to do something, and he wants to keep his mullet. The mullet is involved.

But Richard Branson is probably the richest guy with a mullet. I'm saying he's, I'm anti-Branston Mullet. You don't think it's a mullet? Nah. I'm like, oh my God. What's on your fucking khakis? Makin's got some shit on his khakis. Bro, did you spit up onto my computer? No, you got a refried bean in your USB port.

Yo, that's what you did. I didn't do that. My computer was down there when you spit up pizza. Not at all. No, I promise you that wasn't it. How did that get in there? Look at my pants. All the regurgitated Taco Bell pizzas.

Holy smokes. What was that? Check it out. The refried bean just smashed into the USB port. It's not even chewed. Do you think I spit that up? Here. You're okay, dude

Look at that That's my pet Yeah, it looks like Looks like you were getting a lap dance From somebody ate Taco Bell yesterday Oh my God I'll take it read Just give him the fucking

Laptop he'll live Oh Looks like you went to Uptown cabaret And they had free taco night The night before On your dockers Are there's dockers? Ah

Chalk budget We're gonna get you some new khakis I'll get you a gift card to Belk. Yeah, thank you. Shout out to the Belk Bowl. These are... These are bonobos. These are like $80 pants.

That's how you say that company's name? How would you say it? Bonobos. I have a pronunciation issue. It's like my one learning disability that kind of... Yeah, you know, we'll be all right, man. Do you really use USB stuff a lot? I can't...

Honestly, my brain isn't really working at the moment because I'm so... If you know Macon and how neat freak he is and how germaphobe he is, the fact that he has, he's smelling the refried beans. Is there any chocolate of any sort over here? No, that has nothing to do with me. There's not even beans. Smell that.

It's chocolate. What? Where? Nothing. Where are that? There's no beans, brother. There's one in your USB port. You want me to get it out?

No, I want you to smell it. It smells like chocolate. Oh, yeah, that's chocolate for sure. Oh, you know what it was? There was a piece of powerball on the ground. Why was there a piece of powerball on the ground? Because it fell out of my hand earlier when I was doing like a mid-morning snack. We'll fix this, okay?

Hey, guys, if you're listening out there, we're going to do a khaki drive for making. We're on the holidays. I know there's a lot of toy drives to choose from. There's all sorts of great causes of Salvation Army. We're going to do a khaki drive for making. I'm going to put on my Twitter. or, well, we'll do an address and you guys, people can send boxes of cackies. What are your cacky size?

34 waist, 34 length. That's not funny. Anyways, Garrett Cole, huh? Actually, 33 waste, 34 length. 33 waste, huh? Yeah. And also, you said I was going to get... I think Whalen is a 33 waist.

You said I was going to get socks for Christmas and you never put out an address and somebody asked and I'd said, yeah, I guess. So we'll add this to the sock drive is the khaki drive as the sock drive. And also it's not Christmas yet. Have some fucking patience. It's like my son with his advent calendar. It's not Christmas yet. Patience.

Do we need to get you on an advent calendar? Well, doesn't it get to open one a day? Yeah, one a day. But that doesn't mean you get to eat all of them. You got to wait for Christmas. Like bad Santa. Great movie. What would you do with $324 million besides buy a bunch of new cackies?

New computer as well. No, the computer's going to be fine. If I had $324 million, I'm going to get a couple computers in case this power ball. It's called a power ball? Yeah, like something that they make with almond butter and

chocolate chips. It's like an energy ball. This sucks. Maybe you should look where you put your my rug, damn it. You think I care about your khakis? This rug is

iconic. Can I say what I would buy with $324 million? Because eventually we got to go on with this pod. Yeah. Yep. Garrett Cole, $324 million to the Yankees. So immediately, I'm getting a driver, right? Productivity, sit in the back. I've run out of time to do things as a retired NFL player. I'd get a driver. I would also have somebody, I would have somebody that I was like, that had like an earpiece on and I had a microphone on and they're like sworn to secrecy about like the details of my life

but not that anybody cares or that I'm like a closed book but I would want to just talk in the microphone and like basically a human voice recorder somebody to scribe my notes if I have a random thought so I don't forget it later just somebody who's wholeheartedly dedicated

to being my memory can other people see this person no Okay. I don't know how that's going to work, but just somebody that can take notes for me all day. Also, somebody to roll my joints. I have that now.

You know what a dictaphone is? No. Okay. This is a piece is a clean podcast, bro. Speaking of that, did you see the dickfish this week? No. No, I sure didn't.

We have that element. Thousands of penis fish wash onto California Beach. that absolutely looks somewhat like a penis and it's disgusting imagine one of those brushing up on your leg when you're when you're diving in some idyllic coral reef

where do those fish swim guys Pacific Coast Pacific Coast Great white sharks, penis fish no thanks are we still on what you're buying with 324 mil Yeah.

But I want to show you the penis fish. No, I thought that's among the things you're buying. No, I'm not buying any of those fish. But I'm going to have a joint roller because I don't really do that. Not that you know anything about. I literally wouldn't know how to start to do that. Yeah.

It would just be nice to have somebody like that that can do that for me on the reg. And then also I saw this Manhattan Beach Strand House at $16.5 million. If I'm working in the budget, that's 3808, the Strand. Anybody listening in California, just drive by and check it out. Maybe it's open house day. Go in and check it out.

Well worth it. The Strand in Manhattan Beach, I train there one off season, is an awesome place. Shout out to Shellbacks as a bar. One of Ryan Rissillo's favorite bars. Also, can you pull up the picture of Ryan Rissillo sitting alone at the Boston Celtics game. Scoreside seats at the Celtics game. He claims he bought three seats so he could be alone.

He does have a wide footprint. Yeah, a lot of upper body work at the gym. We had a whole discussion on the ringer pot about things that are acceptable to do alone and not do alone. I feel like an NBA game is perfectly acceptable, but if you're going to have empty seats on either side of you, it could get awkward, especially the week we discussed how many things he does alone.

A lot. He does a lot of things alone. I respect that. He also lives in Manhattan Beach. So he loves the strand. And that is one house I would buy. It's $16.5 million. I also get a G5 airplane.

That's $58.5 million. My research tells me that that does 7,000 nautical miles at 0.85 mock, whatever that means. I think it just means you get the east coast, the west coast, in four-ish hours. Huh If you could do a skin it with a G5 What do you think you're doing?

Like camo or I haven't been listening Yeah I'm talking about a large airplane That you could buy with the money That you would procure from a A 300 plus million dollar Contract And what's the question?

If you could like skin it You know how you can skin your Oh got you? Like what kind of skin would you put on your large airplane? Yeah Paint job Like what is it,

Burberry? Yeah, that's super fucking dumb. That's mean. I need another tequito. Holy hell. Burberry would look cool. I don't do sugar really, and I'm pretty sure there's some sugar in this mountain dew frosty.

I have some on my pants if you're laughing. I would also probably buy a submarine. I love seeing things underwater. I was reading about it. 600,000 is an entry-level submarine. Not bad. For $324 million,

I could get a bunch of entry-level submarines, and we could just have a submarine gang. Probably a lot of rules. Nah. Prices on subs are too high, so, you know, the ones, the upper echelon ones that are like 5,000 square feet, they're like an apartment that you can go see the fish

with the light bulb on their head. Yeah. You're like in a fucking penthouse. 3,000 leagues under the sea the view of giant squid they're 80 million dollars I'm not going to do that it's too much my budget so I need to get a value sub

somewhere in the middle by the way I read that James Cameron is a recreational submariner rumor has it who could tell you James hard to see hard to see underwater also I would get this Virgin Gorda 15 bedroom

ultra luxury beachfront estate in Maho Bay Virgin Gorda. Virgin Gorda is one of the most magical places on Earth. Beautiful. Beautiful. It says it's an income generation opportunity. Nah, don't need it.

I got 324 million bones. One time I was in Virgin Gorda and I saw a six-foot barracuda. It swam right by me. I'm going to go back and find that fucker and just flex on him. I pitch for the Yankees. What's up? Don't scare me anymore. Also, I won't have to buy weed from the guy by the public park in Virgin Gorda anymore.

Put that on. True story, I bought weed from a guy in Virgin Gordo. And I was like, can you pre-roll him for me? And he's like, absolutely, you got to give me the money now and I'll meet you back here in three hours. I was like, bro, I am some kind of a sucker, but I really want him to roll these joints. And I trust people. sometimes guys seemed nice

in America that would never happen he came back on the hour three hours later with a bunch of beautiful pre-rolled homegrown joints

that's hardwarming as hell wouldn't have to deal with him anymore shout out to that guy 2004 ACCC tournament Matt Kingston and I drove down to Greensboro North Carolina because our parents led us for some reason spring break

04, yeah, maybe 03. And a guy rolled up to us in a gas station parking lot asked if we wanted any trees. Fortunately, I didn't know what that meant. In 03, you didn't? Nah. And Kingston had the smarts to just say, no, no thank you. Man, that reminds me a time in middle school

when the new cool kids, I was new in town. It was actually lower school. It was like third or fourth grade. They took me, I had a sleepover. It was like an all-day thing. And the new cool kids, they took me to this maple tree, and they were like, all right, man, we're going to smoke some weed now.

And they started picking the maple tree. Yeah. And they got me ready. I was ready. I wasn't in fourth grade. I was in like middle school. And I was going to be willing to try to fire up that maple, those maple leaves.

And then right before they all laughed at me. I told you. What a dork. What a dork. What a dork. That was a little early, though, to know the difference. I was kind of like, man, isn't weed like a, it's a drug?

You got this tree right in front of your parents' house. What are your parents into? Why not, though? Also, the islanders are worth $300 million. You could probably snag them. I would put them on a real island because I'm not really counting the island they're on as an island. With that kind of money,

just do one of these Dubai islands. You know, they're just popping up. They're just creating new islands. I would, maybe with my submarine, I would bring people over to the game. You're going to run into some CBA issues. Collective bargaining agreement? Yeah, NHO.

I think more like run into some issues with the government trying to put an island off the coast of New York. Yeah, Burberry's ugly. That would look nice on a plane. It would look disgusting. I think Camel would look way better. FCNapley is worth $296. The Sabres are worth $2.85.

No, thank you. The Preds are worth $250. It's amazing to me that they're worth less than the sabers. Blues, though, $250 million. Might have to rethink that G5 and snag the blues, Stanley Cup champs. Sounders, you think buying a, you know, one of those soccer teams would be a good idea?

In a perfect world, yeah. Now maybe not so much. Sounders of Seattle, is that right? Yeah. Rivalry with the Portland Timbers. You got it. I would also track down Waylon Jennings

El Dorado. I believe it was in 1976. It was on like bring a trailer or one of these things like seven years ago, five, seven years ago. And I was going to ask my wife for permission to make a bid and by the next day it was gone. I have no idea where that

El Dorado is. I doubt that among our many thousand listeners or viewers the cat that owns that beauty. is included. But if you are, I would pay double for it. I would also buy various paintings. I'm really into art.

That's a true story. You've been in my house. I like art. I'm cultured. What I was Googling, rich guy stuff, there's a guy named Mukesh Ambani, who's the fourth richest person in the world.

He has $29 billion. He has the largest and most expensive home in the world. That's a 27-story skyscraper. It's 550 feet above the Mumbai slums. What an asshole. I mean, like, depending on how you feel about super rich people, I don't think they're all bad or anything, but guys got $2 billion into this skyscraper,

and he's looking down at just chaos. You say a-hole like Jesse from Breaking Bad every time. Do I? Yeah. On the topic of people that you sound like, somebody claimed that you sound like Jason Garrett last night in my Instagram comments. Oh, dear.

Is that a bad thing? Well, kind of milk toast. Considered your dead ringer was the, yeah. But anyways, this is 4 million square foot skyscraper. Richard Branson, Mullet guy, bought Necker Island in the BVI, British Virgin Islands, near Virgin Gorda, for 100K, now it's worth 60 million. So, yeah. Brad Wall bought your Wayland Jennings, 1973 Cadillac L. Dorado.

Did he really? Yeah, and he's a Saskatchewan Premier. What is that? Yeah, I'm going to be. little more time. I think it's can everybody listening, would that be a bad thing to get everybody to message Brad

Wall? I think it's he's a government type. Brad. I'll do some sketchy political shit. Just, you name it. I need the L. Dog. I want to put the steerhorns on the front. I want to drive

Wayland's namesake around in it. Thanks for listening to Greenlight podcast. make sure you head over to Spotify and subscribe so you don't miss an episode. That would be terrible. I think we've got to talk about sports at some point. You want to talk about Thursday Night Football?

Okay. I guess we talked briefly about it. It wasn't that exciting to me. I mean, it's always exciting to me watching Lamar carve people up, but it wasn't competitive. Nah, the Jets actually, they moved it, not unlike the Virginia Cavaliers, but couldn't capitalize early

and then had to try to play catch up. Nolotum. That's delicious. What else should I eat while we do this part? I'm starting to feel ill. What is this over here? Do you have a toothbrush in this office? I got a couple toothbrushes.

What is this in here? Oh, these are Cineban balls. I want to stuff it into my USB port. I was trying to think of another port, but I don't know the names of these ports. Waterboys beer. Shout out to Waterboys. Oh, shout out to me. Water Boys

That's our thing Water boys Yeah dude That's your charity I know so I just shouted myself out Is that vain? No Okay

A shameless plug here So last night It was all about the under for me I took 45 and a half I took the under thinking that You know A short week Lamar's dinged a little bit Evidently

Didn't look dinged to me Those thigh bruises Can be weird And I thought maybe coming down the stretch here, you know, Greg Roman might use Lamar a little differently, seeing as some of these games aren't going to be worth as much,

especially now that they've clinched. So we'll see how that goes. He still ran kind of all over him. He threw for five touchdowns. That's pretty good. But I thought for a minute there, after thinking the under was dead for much of the game, that in the fourth quarter,

we were going to see RG3 soon. I was like, any time now, you know, for a couple reasons. For the under, obviously, but because everybody likes watching Lamar, you don't want to see him get hurt in the fourth quarter. So, did you see the punt that hit the guy? I was asleep. So in the fourth quarter, you didn't miss much. The only reason I was up, and this is the worst thing about betting something like an under

is you get teased in in the fourth quarter thinking, well, we've got a shot. And all I needed, the entire fourth quarter, was for no more than three, points to get scored. Golly. It's sitting right here. It's like it doesn't want to, the Taco Bell does not want to matriculate

down the, uh, is that the esophagus? I think it's down the esophagus. I'll check where it is now. So, so right after I tweeted that, hey,

so the punt came down, you didn't get to see it, but, uh, the Jets punted the ball of the Ravens and I needed less than three points to get scored for me to cash in. And the Jets weren't moving the ball anymore, really.

I felt really good about that. I thought RG3 is about to come in. They punt the ball. A Raven kind of gets blocked into the punt, and it lands on the back of his shoulder pads, and then hits his ankle and rolls the two-yard line where the Jets recover it on the Ravens' two-yard line. I'm like, I'm fucked.

So these officials get together and review the call, and it stands. They act like it never hit the dude. It was one of the worst calls I've seen all year. It was really like they were trying to get out of there. And so I tweet that that bad call kept the under alive, next play. Next play, block punt. Jets get the ball.

Touchdown. Can I ask a clarifying question? Yeah. I see that the over, if I have this right, yeah. Hit at the end of the third quarter, 42. Not for me. I had it at 45 and a half.

Got you. I thought you said 40 and a half. No, I had it at 45 and a half. I bought the half point just to be safe. How did that go? It is lodged in your esophagus right now. Okay, good. Taco Bell.

Yeah. So, yeah, that totally defeated the purpose. And like, sure, I want to talk about the game on this pod, but, like, people only want to hear that Lamar is good, so many ways, so many times during the year. I will say that, though, that he's not only fun to talk about every Monday, and how great he is, but how fucking cool he is. He's got to be one of the coolest NFL players of all the time.

Yeah. Where do you think he ranks? Well, it depends on your definition of cool, but I rate him higher because he's also humble. That's a big one. Seems like a good guy. Man, what a good kid, dude. After the game, you know, he's got his hype man

and Mark Engram, who was a terrific player, terrific dude. and literally he just does not he doesn't play ball with anybody wanting to like they want him to hype himself up he just won't do it yeah gives credit to his teammates seems like a great guy to play with I see him you know

after every score engaged with his teammates thanking them pumping him up he's got to be up there for me a couple other off the top of my head that were all-time coolest football players are these ones I gave you because I liked my list a lot yeah what's your list Bo Jackson

Very cool Lawrence Taylor Primetime Yeah Hmm Deon Yeah Who else is primetime

I mean he did a lot Cool things I wouldn't put him in coolest He's high stepping Yeah but that's a subjective thing What's cool to you Cool to me I don't know

No doubt Go back to what I said It depends on your definition of cool is I I raise your prime time Randy Moss Okay

West Virginia Straight cash homie Mossed Also actually a humble person Among all the bravado Beneath all the bravado I think he's legitimately

Humble dude Super cool the times I've met him He's just super John Riggins I put up there His football life Has got to be one of the best I've ever seen talk about a guy that lived in a trailer on the Potomac

he would he would like crash like actual government high class dinners and just get beer drunk sounds one of the best of football life I haven't seen you gotta check that one out I also like Ray Guy Ray Guy was a good one too I'm gonna put George Kittle has a chance to be one of the all-time

coolest if he keeps this up I haven't seen much from him off the feet You can tell on the field how cool he is. So here's a wild card. Andre Risen. Hear me out. Bad moon rising. Bad moon rising.

Great football player. Dated somebody from TLC. And it's not that I don't, you could easily argue that somebody from TLC dated Andre Risen. I'm not minimizing successes of TLC. It was left eye, Lopez. Correct.

it took me a second she burned his house down now that doesn't necessarily make you cool but you gotta be pretty fucking cool you gotta have something going on to get somebody to burn your house down people don't just burn your house down

because you're not cool okay you see where I'm going with this yeah it takes a lot of passion and admiration to burn somebody's house town that level of commitment

and disappointment can only stem from somebody cool not giving you what you want or something going wrong in a relationship with somebody that cool. It was just so cool it overcame you and you had to burn their house down. And those were cool uni's the Falcons War.

Yeah. Nobody was hurting that fire though. What about C-Long? Pretty cool. I'm all right. Trying hard with those pictures on your own. Oh, the tattoos.

Yeah, yeah. You're trying to try them pretty hard with that shit stain on your khakis there. Yeah. And your mountain boots. That's a different look for you. Gosh, I regret going in right there. So I wonder, and by the way, Jack Youngblood's got to make the Jack Youngblood, the blood right back here. Probably the coolest football player I have in my phone book.

That's a flex. Jack was a big C-Long fan in St. Louis. Jack play with a broken leg. Jack also is just generally cool as shit. I wonder as cool as Lamar is if this thing goes the way we think it'll go. God willing he stays healthy. Greg Roman stays. They continue to get better. Let's say they win a couple championships. In five years do people hate the Ravens? Because right now nobody hates the Ravens. Good question. My answer's no. So they're immune to the dynastic effect of disliking the team, the resentment thing.

And are there any dynasties that you remember that people actually didn't hate? Yeah, that's a good question. Bulls? Yeah, I guess so, maybe. Yeah, Bulls never felt like the Cowboys or anything. The Cowboys felt chalky, but something about Michael Jordan and the grittiness of that city and that group and the 90s NBA

bro and it was also the fact that the Bulls had the Bulls had a lot of there was a lot of competition there I mean the Bulls had to lose before they won you know that that turn of the decade there wasn't all theirs

so it took Mike a while to win his championship so I just wonder if Lamar coming in so quick having all this success right now everybody loves it or we can get tired of the Patriots turning the lights on it off at M&T Bank Stadium which you don't like anyways.

Right. But are we going to get tired of that whole thing? I find it hard to imagine, but it happens. I mean, when Steph Curry came in a league, did everybody hate Steph Curry? Nah. Nah, people hate them now. Tom Brady?

Tom Brady, they were the team that upset the greatest show on turf at one point. Everybody loved him then. He was the kid that was built like Making Gunner. Yep. That ran a 40s. super awkward and stepped in for Drew Bledsoe and now look at him. Darth Vader. So interesting to think about if the Ravens ride this,

what could soon be a 12-game winning streak into the playoffs and win it all, does that championship resentment start to creep in. I think they might be bulletproof because Lamar is one of the coolest dudes I've ever seen play football. A lot of dudes are cool. Not a lot of dudes can be cool and do what he does on the field. Let's go bowl games, right?

Because tis the season. Okay. You had a list of superlatives looking ahead to the bowl games. Go. Yeah, my best game is Clemson, Ohio State. My best game in the non-Clemson, Ohio State Division, is Texas, Utah, Alamo Bowl. Can I stop you? Please.

Who wins the Clemson Ohio State game? Ohio State. Oh, the first time I've said that. You're just one of those dabbo haters Yeah Keep it going Feeding the fire Do you want to jump in with your best game

Or do you want to do yours after me I'll go after you Okay worst game Eastern Michigan And the Pitt Panthers And the Quick Lane bowl I disagree I'll get into that in a bit Day after Christmas

Best Bowl name Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl Runner up Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl Where does the word Gasparilla come from Yeah great question as most know the word Gasparilla

Most? Yeah Anybody on set know what Gasparilla means? Refers to a lot of horizontal head nodding Gasparilla

May refer Oh man I guess you don't know No I don't know Holy shit And you put it as your best bowl name This is one of the worst lists I've ever heard Bad Boy Mowers bro That's pretty cool

Do you imagine the guy pushing the mower or being a ride on mower? He's riding. Yeah? Yeah. What's he like a bike? He's in a biker gang, but he's mowing his

My worst bowl name is the New Mexico bowl. Why? You got something against New Mexico? It's the name of a state and then a bowl. Okay. New Mexico Bowl. Okay. Honorable mentioned Red Box Bowl.

Best uni matchup potentially USC and Iowa. I would agree with you there. I guess, but I didn't see a lot of great ones out there. No. Worst uni matchup potential. Utah State,

Ken State. I imagine a lot of piping. I imagine the school name like this big right here. Making your numbers all, a lot of shadow number font. Probably gross. That's the tropical smoothie cafe Frisco Bowl. No.

Yes. I like this question. Best time slot. For me, it is... This is what America wants to see, the tropical smoothie. We need to put booger on that game. Yes. The best time slot for me is Rose Bowl.

January 1st, 5 p.m. on the East Coast. Shaking off the hangover. We'll be down in Miami, celebrating possibly. Potentially con. I got a bird taking me back on New Year's Eve. Let's revisit that. I'd love to ring in the New Year with you. Okay.

Likewise. Honorable mention time. SoFi Hawaii Bowl, Christmas Eve 8 p.m. Not bad. If you're under a roof with a lot of people, they're heading to bed. Kids are going to bed. You're still wrapping presents. Who's playing in that game?

Sure. Hawaii and BYU. Actually, not the worst game. And maybe an okay uni matchup. I actually think so too. Worst time slot, makers wanted Bahamas Bowl. Buffalo and Charlotte, Friday, December the 20th at 2 p.m. That's great.

Are people even off work yet? No. Friday the 20th? I don't know. I've never had like Christmas off stuff. Yeah, no. People are at work at 2 p.m. on the 20th. That's my list.

Oh, that's your list. My best game is the Rose Bowl. Okay. Oregon, Wisconsin. Iconic, great uni matchup, potentially, depending on what Oregon comes with. New school versus old school. It could clash.

Red and green. It looks like Christmas, which I like red and green. It's appropriate. Anything you throw on that gorgeous ass field. And it will look like a rose. That gorgeous stadium.

I love that stadium. What's the stadium called? The Rose Bowl. That's right. I love that stadium. Where's it located? Pasadena. Right.

What's it called? What's the nickname? Granddaddy of them all. Yeah. Yeah. You know a thing or two. Two and a half point line is going to be a good game. Two really intriguing pro prospects there.

Herbert Taylor. Best bowl name. I'm going to go Hawaii or the Bahamas Bowl. if you cut the beginning off of the Bahamas Bowl because what kid doesn't want to go to those two bowls? Are you going to want to go to the Shreveport Bowl or the Bahamas Bowl? I mean, that name rings bells if I'm a college kid.

By the way, I got to get a passport. My, I think it was sophomore year, we had an opportunity to go to the champ sports, champ sports bowl in Orlando. We had exams here at Virginia. I don't remember well. So we went to. Boise.

Boise. That was my freshman year. So we went from... First year. I don't really do that whole thing. Also don't do the suit and tie thing, sorry. At games. Also don't do the not full stadium thing for Virginia Tech.

Let's get that right next year, Virginia fans. It's fucking true. It was very close. Well, let's get full full. This is called the come up, okay? Not the up. Well, we kind of were first in the coastal at that point. All right, bro.

I'm not going to drop into... you just move on. You're not going to drop it until I move on? Until you say, yeah, you could be right. Let's move on. I'd love to packed house. Let's get a packed house. Every ball game.

That'd be great. I want all the freshmen there. I want all the sophomores there. I want all the juniors there. Inside baseball, for some of you listening in Virginia, we call it first year, second year, third year, fourth year. I'm all about traditions.

Two traditions I'm not crazy about. Or I'm very indifferent on calling it freshmen, or first year. I consistently say freshman year, sophomore year, whatever. Mr. Jefferson said learning never ends.

It's a lot Mr. Jefferson could have learned, isn't there? I'm just saying. Where were we? I'm going to say the Bahamas Bowl would be terrific because as a kid who my first year at UVA

had an opportunity to go to Orlando and then ended up in Boise on the blue turf, playing like dodging dead birds diving onto the blue field thinking it's like a lake. And we got hosed on a call. And we got hosed on a call.

We blew a huge lead to Fresno State. No one wanted to go to that post-game party with Al Groh. He was not happy. I think he like lit his bowl gear on fire. By the way. So yeah, worst bowl name. I'm going to go with a red box bowl. What is a red box even?

Isn't it that thing at Harris Teeter? where you get movies out for a dollar DVDs? Yeah. Is it not? Times there are changing, man. We're going digital now. Your phone dropped, watch out, there might be some chocolate melted on the ground somewhere. Unlike you, the little chocolate's not going to hurt me.

Idaho potato bowl, I think, is just, that's got to be one of the least exhilarating bowl names. Again, it's, I assume, in Boise. One of the only municipalities in that entire giant state. Yeah, but dogs. That's shaped like a foam finger. Boise, Idaho is kind of cool. Boise, Idaho is low-key of Cool City. Yeah.

Cool City. Not where you want to play a bowl game, though. Okay. The name, though. Slice of Americana. Yeah, it's a slice of Americana. Where were the bowl gifts for the Boise Idaho Bowl during the potato famine? Not too soon.

Happened hundreds of years ago. Was it hundreds of years ago? The potato famine? Yeah, the great one. What do you think? I'm going to say it was like 1816. Or was it 1916? Mid-19th century.

Oh, when was that? Not 1816. So it was like 1850. Yeah, like 1845. You see that could be misleading to some people who don't know that classify centuries. Yes. So mid-19th century, 1850s,

the, what's the word, the statute of limitations on like just making a joke in, passing about the potato famine. I think we're good. And a bowl game that would not have existed. Also, people don't generally, I'm Irish so I can make the joke.

Also, the Cheez-It Bowl is not a great bowl name. Ooh, bad take. Any bowl game with a Z in it, not a good bowl. That's a better take, but cheese at bowl, that's a good name. Get a lot of cheese that said that bowl. Would you be willing to post a poll?

on your Twitter that says, hey y'all, is Cheez-It Bowl a good, bowl name or a bad bull name? Yeah, I could do that. And do it now before the show's released and we'll see what people say.

Yeah, that'd be good. Okay. Uh-huh. And if people say it's a good name, I win. Good. And you could use a win. You've got a shit state on your dockers. It's chocolate or something.

Unimatchup. I like USC Iowa. I like OULSU. I like Iowa State Notre Dame. I think Iowa State have really nice uniforms. Say it again. Iowa State Notre Dame. Ugh, Iowa State?

I love their uniforms. Just mustard and ketchup. I kind of like their uniforms. Okay. Virginia, Florida? That has the potential. Yeah, depending on how it comes down. Virginia's the home team.

Yeah. And it's under the light. So I bet the who's go, all blues would be my guess, unless they go crazy because it's the orange bowl and do an orange out, which could be elite. Could be elite, could be not elite.

We'll see. Under the lights on grass, I couldn't be happier. What was a bowl game we almost ended up in? This year? Yeah. What would have been the next tier for us? Probably camping world. In Jacksonville?

Orlando. What a come up for us as bowl goers. Also like Wisconsin, Oregon, as I mentioned. The worst is Central Michigan, San Diego State University. Yep. Mixed reds. Yep. Like a maroon, a red, a yellow,

like the San Diego State, awful logo. I feel like when it was designed, it was cool. About 20 years ago, that thing comes out, and it's like nice. It's like one of those NBA uniforms that if you took it away, you'd probably yearn for it now, like a Utah jazz type thing. Like that S we always drew,

we're in school. Stozy. Right. Yeah. A team that deserved a better bowl, That's App State for me in the New Orleans Bowl. App State played their asses off this year, including in their conference championship.

Well, and I think they're about 17-point favorite, so that's a clear sign you deserve better. Yeah, you deserve better. The cultural clash or new friendship bowl, you mentioned a really poignant one last week. Thank you. Last pod. Arizona State, Florida State.

Yeah. Probably fast friends. Sun Bowl. Probably never met, as you said. And yet it's going to be Spider-Man meme. Yeah, dude. Looking in the mirror. Are there any that you think are a big clash?

Let's see. Minnesota Auburn, perhaps? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You be Minnesota, I'll be... Might as well be another country. Hey, y'all.

Oh, yeah. Nailed it. Sorry. Take care, y'all. Hey, y'all take care. Y'all take care. Don't you worry about it. Team that, you know...

Oh, the bed check bowl. That's Buffalo. at the Bahamas Bowl. This is alien territory for these guys. You go from like getting drunk at bars, um, under overcast skies with a bunch of factory workers to going to like a swim up bar in the Bahamas.

And Danger Zone, this is your two o'clock kick on a Friday for those Buffalo Bulls. Oh yeah. It's going to get ugly. Uh, Pittsburgh, Eastern Michigan in the Quick Lane Bowl, I'm going to dub that the dark mustache guy bowl. This is a funny take.

that stadium is going to be filled with dudes north of 40 with dark to gray dark mustaches. I also think fans of this bowl will love some Quicklane gear. Quick lane, I'm assuming sells auto parts and DIY stuff with the cars. Eastern Michigan, Pittsburgh, I just feel like a lot of those folks like getting on that little dollying,

getting under a car, and just getting some shit done. Yeah. Dark mustaches. Can you picture it? Yeah, most fellas about 200 bills, two bills. North. Yeah. North.

Yeah. Built fellas. Yeah. And some bigger fellas. Bigger fellas. Also. Not many skinny fellas. No.

A high propensity to get in a fist of cuffs at this game. Washington Air Force. This is a bowl I'm excited about. it's the Cheez-It Bowl. We can overcome the questionable name because... Washington State. Washington State, sorry. Mike Leach is going to give us two great rants in this bowl.

One is going to be about Cheez-It's. Because it's a great name. It's only great because Mike Leach has unlocked its greatness. Second, he's going to give us this big rant about how airplanes are cool, and it doesn't make any sense that they can fly. Guaranteed. Mike Leach is going to talk about how airplanes. airplanes defy the loss of gravity.

And it's going to be magical. I used to drunk dial Mike Leach. Why'd you stop? Don't hang out with Danny Amandola on the regular anymore. Danny has his number from Texas Tech who beat us in the Gator Bowl. So every time we would go out

and you've heard this story, we'd go to Bonner or go out, we'd just drunk down Mike Leach. And he'd stay on the phone for about an hour. I saw Danny Dola at the NCAA National Championship game. Yeah, he owes me a tattoo. Texas Tech. Yes, he does.

We made a bet in the concourse for the game that had the who's won, Danny would have to get a tattoo and vice versa. Not the, it wouldn't have been the first tattoo bet I lost. No. We still have to, yeah, we still have, well, they know, it's my linebacker coach. When we won the Super Bowl, I had to get tattoo. So we'll, we'll get to that in a few weeks.

We'll probably, I need to lose a couple pounds after the off season before I'm like pulling up my shirt. Yeah. Yeah, not on Taco Bell day. It's a large tattoo though. Larger than I intended it to be. I'm gonna go most ironic bowl, tax slayer bowl. Okay. Because I assume the tax slayer offers a plethora of services

all which are predicated on you having taxable income. And any player creating the cash flow surrounding this game, 100% is not getting paid. So like what the fuck are you doing at the Tax Slayer Bowl? That's clever of you. It's very ironic bowl. The Tax Slayer Gator Bowl. Is that what it is now?

Yeah. Your last bowl game. My last bowl game. Mine too as an undergraduate. Let's do some NFL quick hits. You ready? These all have to be under a minute. Okay.

The New York Giants release the Jack Rabbit. Shwa. A 2016 class of free agents. They include Olivier Vernon, Damon Snacks Harrison, who have both been traded, respectively to the Browns and the lions. And Jenkins is now cut. So the question is, is he really hurt, and that'll dictate where he goes?

Is he going to make a playoff run? Obviously a tasteless tweet and his unwillingness to walk it back seemed almost convenient and intentional trying to jump ship there. Man overboard. He's played really actually pretty decently this year other than the Mike Evans torching and a couple tackles he turned down.

Turned down. But what corners aren't turning down tackles these days? That's right. I think if you put Jack Rabbit, and I've seen Jack Rabbit be physical because I play with him in St. Louis. He used to be a guy that would stick his hat in there. I think on the right team he will.

I think he's not hurt. I think he gets picked up somewhere to make a run. 57 seconds. Nice, right on time. If this is it for Brady and the NFC and the AFC East, is your money on the Jets or the Bills? Well, I would say,

I want to say the Jets because of Darnold's ceiling and Joe Douglas being a great GM. A lot of what we did in Philly, he didn't get a lot of credit for, but he was a major driver behind the scenes and getting a lot of folks, me included there. The bills have a young core on defense. They have Jordan Phillips, Edmonds, White, and Oliver, all like 22, 24, 26, 27 years old.

And I like the head coach better. I mean, Gase to me is unproven. McDermott's done a really good job. What do you do with Levion in New York? Got some years left on his deal. I think there's an out in 2020. The Jets have lost six of eight to Miami. No, boy, no.

And the bills have won five of six. So when you look at Allen, yeah, I like Darnal better. but he's quietly thrown only one pick in the last eight, eight games. And right now, if you're a Bill's player, it's probably a pretty awesome place to play. I mean, the fan base has to be energized. The pets sign a viral kicker. I thought it was an onion article when I saw this

because it's the most unpatriot-like thing I've ever seen. Does it mean panic? Hell yes, it means panic. They need a kicker. And the last thing Bill's going to do is let a kicker lose him a game. So this is how deep in the well they've gone for. a kicker they signed like a trick shot kicker. I'm not saying he's not going to be good.

I'm excited for the kid. He looks, I mean, the videos are great. I think he'll also be shocked. I'd love to see the first time he tries to pull one of those viral videos at the facility and realizes that there's a no like cameras in the facility rule. Like nothing.

You can't even get on your Snapchat there. I mean, Terrence Knight and I were in the same year when we came in his free agents and in camp. I think he did like a, you know, I'm excited to be at work. It's my first time I paid your place and he got called in the office like the next day. Oh.

Like we don't take pictures in here. Pretty interesting. Adrian Peterson is a couple hundred yards away from 1,000 on the year, which would net him a $500,000 bonus. Good for him. I can only imagine being a guy who's chasing the records that he's chasing and had an illustrious career like he has, only to get boxed out by a coach who's not even there anymore.

He's coming out on top, and I hope he gets the bonus. Funny story back in 2010, I needed one more sack to surpass my eight sack bonus. I got to eight and a half on the last game of the season against the 49ers. I think it was Christmas. It was right after Christmas. You know when you watch a game

and they have the one of my favorite things is watching a game and they have the Christmas lights wrapped around the score. Last drive of the game, swiped Anthony Davis, knocked the ball out on Alex Smith, Red Robbins Recovery, multi-million dollar bonus. Mm.

Mm. Nice. As time expired, not in the game, but for my season. Are you buying Ryan Tanny Hill long term? I am buying Ryan Tanna Hill. I, uh, I've said it a lot before I went from absolutely not being able to stand the guy to really liking him now.

He's, he's playing for a big contract as much as anybody in the league. right now. And playing for the few. There's as much hinges on him as does anywhere in a league with an individual player. They've got Houston, New Orleans, and Houston again. So two big division rivals. You'd probably think that you need to be Houston to be the class of the AFC South. I think they're going to do it at least once.

I think among QBs with 150 passes, here's where he ranks. Completion percentage above expectation is plus 10. That's first. yards per attempt 9.8, that's first. Net yards per pass play is 8. That's first. The only thing you do better is start faster and some of that could be skewed,

but the Titans are bottom five in first possession scores. I like the Titans. Gruden pronounces it Tanny Hill if you want to be cool moving forward. That's he? Seattle Seahawks, what is their biggest problem? It's... I mean, it's obviously the implosion factor.

I've said this before, and for their biggest games this year, they've allowed scores on special teams or defense, which is really not a good thing to get in the habit of doing. Also, their ace running back now with Rashad Penny being out for the year with an ACL. It's still Chris Carson, who has a propensity to just chuck the ball on the ground with no regard for ball security. But Wilson has been sacked or hit on 25% of plays in the past game. That's 29th out of 35,

and the Hawks have produced a sack or hit on 14% of past plays. is 30 seconds. So that in the turnovers up front, especially the rush on both sides of the ball, I think is what's going to wait them down in the playoffs. When running is Lamar in harm's way? Well, Greg Roman had a quote that said he's actually safer running and being out of the pocket and being and having some expectation

of getting hit and being able dictate the terms. I think that's a compelling argument coming from that guy because his track record, and I looked at a Warren Sharp tweet, he's had three mobile quarterbacks, of course, with Tyrod, with Lamar and Cap, not counting Alex Smith. I wonder why we didn't count him.

Running quarterbacks was the classification. So I would ask whoever dice those stats up why we didn't include Alex Smith, but if we're going with the three guys, that's 91 starts, three games missed. Tyrod Taylor missed for a little bit with an MCL. I wonder where Tyrod got that. I would guess it was probably in the pocket.

But I think there's something compelling to his point. I mean, guys get hurt when they're flat-footed and they're sitting there and they're not expecting of a hit. Lamar's a great athlete. He does a great job of not getting hit hard. The New Orleans Saints have lost a couple players, including Marcus Davenport. You ask him if that's bad? Yeah. I think it's a big loss for them. I do think he's played better than the numbers say, but San Francisco, you know, the team that you're looking at on the other than the NFC have also lost a lot of players, DJ Jones for the season. Richard Sherman, has been battling injuries, probably going to miss Sunday.

D. Ford is out for like against the rest of the regular season with a hamstring issue. I never had those. It wasn't fast enough, so I can't relate. Juan Williams, concussion, and of course, Juan Alexander, you got a correction for me? Kwan.

Kwan, yeah. I know I've butchered that. It's okay. Kwan Alexander, you doesn't even count as a correction if I catch it. You're running out of time here. Juan Alexander being hurt for a while now. has definitely hurt them.

Sean Peyton went to Whole Foods. Was it Whole Foods? Yeah. So he yelled at the butcher at Whole Foods? God bless you, yes. Thank you. Sean Peyton had an outburst in the butcher shop at Whole Foods recently. I would have pegged Sean as more of a French Quarter butcher shop guy.

Like he's going to go to one of the real ones. It was post-game, I think. So I think he just needed to know that it was open. Yeah, you're right. Shout out to Jam Stock. in Charlottesville. Yep. Wonderful butcher shop here.

Some of the best biscuits in the area. Sean Payton yelled at the guy because the guy was critical of something the Saints were doing. I think it was giving up about 50 points to the Niners. It's a two-point conversion. Oh, it's a two-point conversion.

Why did you go for two? And Sean yelled it, yelled back, you worry about your meat. Fricking meat. You worry about your frickin' meat. That's great. God love Sean Payton. I can really hear him saying that

because I've seen him talk shit on the field. And he explained it further. He circled back. He was joking. But it was a good one. Yeah, I mean, but I love, I just, I like champagne. I've come around on him. Boop.

Yeah. OBJ, SOS. Yeah, get me out of here. Kind of like you on this pod. You got that right. Uh-huh. He got shit stains on your dockers. Um,

no, he's got chocolate on his dockers. Yeah, uh, I've heard of people doing, in this. You know, he's pretty sloppy with it. It's almost like he makes sure the cameras hear him. You could always text your buddy

and say, get me out of here. But guys that need to be gotten out of wherever there are, bring the helicopter down and extract A.J. Green the fuck out of Cincinnati. The guy's wasting his career.

Maybe he goes to Dallas because they might let Cooper walk. They might think they have enough with Gallup. He might be a cheaper option. Shaq Barrett, who I think should be in the conversation

for a defense player year. He won't get it. I'll probably give it to Nick Bos who's got eight sacks. Joey Bosa, speaking of the Bosa, they might blow the whole Chargers thing up and he's going to waste a lot of productive years. Calais Campbell, I think he's stuck in a big contract.

New England will be perfect. Don't you dare say that next name. Sequin. Wasting his career. How dare you? In New York. I mean, these running backs don't have long shelf lives. Von Miller.

Boop Boop Boop Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo. Von Miller, he's going to stay in Denver. It's probably a legacy thing. He's already got his ring. He's got his best bookend since DeMarcus where? 10. former NFL players charged Thursday in a multi-million dollar scheme to defraud the league's health care benefit program by submitting false claims for medical equipment.

Yeah, this is going to be bad. Usually as a player, when we see players do bad things in general as a collective in the media and on social media and such, we always take the player's side. That's just like kind of what players do. It'd be really hard to take their side because they are robbing. the players, in essence, by defrauding this fund. So a lot of names in there that you'd be familiar with Joe Horn. A lot of cell phone jokes I saw on Twitter.

Clinton Portis. Guy play with James Butler, New York Giants fame. Don't know what they were thinking, man. Really don't. Kind of disappointing. Very disappointing. It reminds me of the only story that I could find that was kind of like it was in the 80s,

the head of the PA for, The NHL was robbing or skimming off the top money that was supposed to go to a lot of the players, including Bobby Orr. It's unprecedented in our game. It totally runs counter to what we're talking about doing and just taking care of each other. Hypothetical Monday Night Football Booth.

I don't know. I kind of want to kick this back to you. Okay. Yeah? I have play-by-play guys I like. I want to say something about Joe Buck. Yeah. he's really good

I don't understand what people's problem is with Joe Buck he's really good what do you think their problem is the Cardinals dislike in baseball

well and he's he's talked about it a lot I mean people think he comes across as arrogant and how he's done what he can to

his voice is kind of nasally he's great he's really it's effortless he's really good yeah other guys Kevin Harlan top notch

Iron Eagle yeah Ian Khan I know, it's weird. Analyst? Let's put Ronde Barber in there. Yeah, nice. Did you like Dennis Miller when he was there?

No. That was such a weird experiment. Cornheiser? No. Okay. John Gruden. More than Miller. I miss Gruden.

Yeah. Gruden made my football fun. This guy. This guy. Analyst. Where are the analysts? Maybe you. No.

and I've said this before. Monday Night Football is the biggest Trojan horse in sports. Hey, here's a check. Go do Monday football. Oh, it's a lot of money. It's awesome. Good to be on TV in front of a lot of people. No, they're going to give you a check

just so you can get made fun of for three years, one, two, three years. And then you're going to be rich as fuck but too embarrassed to walk outside your house and spend your money. I don't know. I think if you're good at it, it can make your career.

Where are you on Romo? Love Romo. If it's the best booth out there, Give me Harlan and Romo. Nice. So let's do mailbag real quick. Okay. Nunya asks, why do you hate the Rams?

The dumbest question I've ever heard. Like literally ever heard. You know, the first time I left, when I left New England, if it wasn't for the Rams moving to L.A., I wanted to go back and play for the Rams. Like, I wanted to finish my career where it started.

But unfortunately, that ship had sailed to L.A. I'm also still friends with Jeff Fisher who cut me. I'm still friends with less need. Had dinner with him this summer in Montana. Cooked him a nice meal. Had him over to the house.

I text with Todd Gurley, Aaron Donald, Michael Brockers on the reg. Why do you hate him? It's weird. It's almost like I don't mind them. And it's almost like football fans are giant fucking babies. And they just want so much attention, unless you give it to them,

where you talk about their team, you hate the Rams. I literally have two Super Bowl rings. Why would I care about a team that cut me and enabled me to have those two Super Bowl rings? Like, why would that upset me? Please, like, I know it's mailbag, but it doesn't mean just like take a dump in an envelope and send it in.

Debate your granny asks, is a hot dog sandwich? It's a sandwich if you cut the bun in half. You know how the buns come connected? I know about the buns, yeah. Yeah, if you just rip that bad boy apart, then it's a sandwich, two sides. Huh. Yeah. Answer is no.

It's not a sandwich. Not currently. It's a hot dog. Andrew. Is it a Philly cheese steak a sandwich? Yeah. It is? Yeah.

I would say it depends on if it's connected in the middle. It's a cheese steak. Come on, dude. Andrea Showgirl 44 asks. Showgirl 44? I think so. at your funeral, what's the one song

you'd have played? Closing time. Nice, semi-sonic. Yes, sir. Probably. That's good. Yeah. You should get that on vinyl.

I'm a big vinyl guy. Yeah. Send it to the address. It doesn't exist. I don't know if there's any more even available. People are buying semi-sonic vinyl.

Yeah. That's such a high-click. Clip. Yeah, well, you fucking. up last week, right? What? You, uh, yeah, you said chomping at the bit. It's champing at the bit.

That's not true. B.S. How much you want to bet? A million dollars. Yeah? Yeah. Now, if Brian Nelson... No, no, no, no.

Chopping. Chopping? No, no, hold on. Want to argue that it's now become a part of the lexicon because all you idiots have said it wrong for so long. I'm not buying it. It's champing at the bit. Champ at the bit.

It's an equestrian freaking term. How much you want to bet? Well, I guess I would adjust the bet to say is chomping a separate and acceptable term at this point. You're going to find something that says it's acceptable because it's been said wrong for so long. Next mailback question. It's champing at the bit. What do you want to bet? Let's work on this off air.

Eagles 52 asks, who wins the NFC East? I think the Cowboys actually win the NFC. NFC East. NFC Week. NFC Week. I think the Cowboys win the NFC Week. I think the Cowboys... He's not even high. He's just full.

I think the FC East is actually won by the Cowboys. They're going to lose it and Jason Garrett's going to get fired. So they're going to be winners in the long run. I think coming to Philly, even as jacked up as everybody is there, and as much bullshit as they've had to deal with this year, I think the Cowboys take an L in Philly. And for the first time, the Eagles beat the Cowboys with Zach active on the roster.

Go to the playoffs, lose the first round. So your answer's Philly. Yeah, Philly. But the Cowboys. Shocking. The Cowboys win it in essence because this will force them to make changes that they desperately need to make.

Buzz on Food asks best JZ album. Reasonable doubt. Okay. The fake nuts. asks, can you get Justin Smith on after you explained to him what a podcast is? Can we find Justin Smith? That's what he's asking, I reckon.

Raccoon hat. Like, guaranteed he's wearing a raccoon hat somewhere with the tail. Like, just, what's he doing right now? Just hammering butt heavies with a raccoon hat on. If I could locate him, I would love to have them on the pod

one of the most it's one of my favorite jerseys I was ever able to swap it's uh it's top shelf for me the legend also has a like a tattoo that somebody in the Navy

circa 1940 would get before they got shipped off to like Guam the tiny Anheiser Bush little tattoo short answer would be that yeah I'd love to have them on the pod does he know what a podcast is it's a great question. Frank asks, who is the most annoying player to play against?

Annoying. Larry Fitzgerald. So good, so nice, so physical. Like, nice guy, smiling, and then just like tear your team a new asshole. Also, he's a guy that, you know,

could join the Come Get Me, sweepstakes. Love to see him get a ring. Average Sean. asks, who's your dream interview? Danny McBride, Sturgle Simpson, Stephen Colbert, reincarnated at his reading.

Dylan Winler's Stan account asks, who is the funniest trash talker you've ever played against? I played with Brandon Graham and he's hilarious. He's hilarious. All he does is talk, but he's never being mean.

Yeah, Brandon Graham. Do you want to see? some Phil Rivers? Yeah, I would love to see some Phil Rivers. Hey, 17, you see I ain't talking, right? Stay humble, bro. Stay humble, boy. I can be excited. Yeah, but don't do

that by my ear. Don't do it by my ear. I'll do it by my ear. I will do it by my ear. Hey, once what I do? What's seven? I'll hide that you after the game. 17, just keep talking. I will do it by your ear. I can be excited. I will do it by your ear.

By the way, Yonik is a tremendous rusher. And I, I just compliment. in Maryland. Can't believe I did it. And the Jags. Yeah. All righty, Chris. I think we had ourselves a day.

This was one for the books. Yeah, it was. Do you match your socks to your khakis? I got new, I got some new Nike socks for myself. And, uh, gonna need some new Bonnebo. joints. Listen. The first pair I put on, I got sick on. I got sick on them. Yeah. Like vomited.

On Tuesday night. Yeah. I really am struggling with this podcast. I don't know if I should be doing it. I feel kind of sick too, honestly. And the second pair I put on have been made fun of on this podcast. And yeah, they do match the color of the pants. Show the people who tuned in late or skipped ahead to the last few minutes. We show them these stain on your khakis. If I do, when I stand up, it's really close. Can we keep it at a wide shot and I'll show the people? And the pants. Yeah, right there.

You got to see where the camera is. Yeah. Yeah. So I will post that on the, by the way, the Strayhan Fish Bowl interview is out right now. Shout out to Michael Strayhan. Giant. GM. Also, a tremendous pitchman now and TV personality.

And he was my Facebook.com profile picture for a couple years when Facebook was a thing. It's still a thing. I re-downloaded it since I got a new phone. It's pretty great. Yeah, we got to end this show. Okay. Is that the end of the show? Yeah, it's the end of the show. Y'all take care. Okay, so let's hurry up and do the corrections.

John from Hermosa didn't care for the Irish history lesson you gave. What did he not like about it? Was it inaccurate? From where I said it was accurate, 1845 to 49. Would have been good to have the Idaho Potato Bowl back then. Gasparilla may refer to Jose Gaspar, who was a mythical Spanish pirate, of course. And now the Gasparilla Pirate Festival

is a large annual parade held in Tampa, Florida. also probably one of the capitals of scoring meth bad boy mowers methole want to shout out uh julie urts she won an award while we were doing this she won an award from not tearing her ACL by doing that how the hell what's going on with the like

My birthday's in December, Sagittarius season, that whole thing. Congratulations, Fletch. Happy birthday, Fletch.
