Hey, Barstool listeners, you can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen to ad-free on Amazon music. Barstool Sports. Tidon. Brandon Walker. Mostly sports. Welcome to Mostly Sports. I'm Mark Titus. He is Brandon Walker. Today is Monday, September 18. Yes.

And what do we want to talk about, Braddon? Is Colorado football going to start a new Civil War? Nobody isn't different about Colorado football. You were either all the way in or all the way out. Yeah, Saturday was the crisis point because I think both, if you love Dion and love what he's doing at Colorado, you walked away from that game saying, I am right. You know what?

Because like the hoopla, all the celebrities that they kept showing, the fact that they come back to win, the fact that you have a team in Colorado. I believe Colorado State won four games last year. Colorado, we went three and nine. they've won three games last year Colorado we know they won one game last year you have a rivalry that nobody

in the last ever has ever given a shit about suddenly a lot of this country is staying up till 2 a.m. to watch so if you're someone that's like Dion is awesome and is awesome for the sport you walk away from that saying I'm right suck at haters if you're a Dion Hater you walk away from this game saying

I was right because Colorado's a fraud and they're not actually that good and they were a 24.5 favorite and then they ran onto the field to celebrate the win. So therefore I'm right. And to your point, I think that's where we arrived on Sunday morning. Everyone woke up and said, I'm right. Well, the real truth, the real truth, I believe, is in the middle. Deon is the biggest story in college football, and he has done a remarkable job at Colorado there. I think they're going to win six games. And that is from where they were. That's amazing. Oh, my goodness. So we got a schedule reading. This early on Monday?

I've got to do it. I got to do it. Because if you're going to say they're going to win six games, I think the people at home deserve to have the schedule read to them. So I think they're going to win six games, maybe seven. It depends if they can be the Arizona or not. I think they're, I mean, they have come a long way. The problem is, don't let me ruin the narrative by saying a real football observation here, because nobody actually uses real football observations when looking at this thing. They just don't have the beef up front.

They have the skill position players. They have the defensive backs. They have the quarterback. They don't have the beef up front. Like they couldn't get to the Colorado State quarterback, and they couldn't keep Colorado State off their quarterback. Yeah, they don't have depth either. But that being said,

That being said, like, they were kind of dead in the water, and Sederer Sanders led him 98 yards in a minute and a half to tie a game and then had to get the two-point conversion. Like, they were faced with their own mortality in that game and came through and they passed that with a bullet. Yeah, they did do that. That's what they did. All right, so let's, you say six ones.

They already have three. Right. That means they're going to win three more games. I think they're going to go three and two after USC and Oregon coming up. Let's read some schedules. Oh, I'm sorry. Did I read too much schedule there? Let's read some schedules at Oregon this Saturday.

I believe that's a loss. You believe that that is a loss. I think most people did. Travis Hunter is not going to play in this game. Correct. Do we know what his injury is? It's probably a cracked rib? It could be a crack rib.

It could be a shoulder. Like, like, and another thing. This online discourse about this hit, people act like this guy should be thrown in jail. He should never play football again. Like,

was it a questionable dirty hit? Yeah, but it was a questionable dirty football hit. This happens in football every now and that. Like, this is not something. I don't think this guy woke up that morning saying, I'm going to go break Travis Hunter's rib. I think he was tired of the bullshit.

sending a message early in the game and just it was late and it was dirty and it deserved 15 yard penalty but that's it deserved so you're saying the pusification of america is is on full display with how i'll have that blog later yeah right right yes at oregon volume volume 29 of my postification of america blog series is coming out later you really don't want me to read this schedule so we got at organ USC at home i think that's two losses at a Arizona state think that's a win that's a win. So we're at four and two. Stanford at home. Five and two. That's a win. And now it gets a little bleak after this.

Then it becomes interesting, we'll say. At UCLA. They're ranked right now. I think that could be a loss. Although it could be a win. Could be a winner. That's, yeah. See, this is why we read the schedules because it could go either way. I would lean loss. Will they be favor in that game, you think? I doubt it. Yeah, because by then. Depends on what you see, UCLA has been a very quiet team. They played nobody so far, but their killing teams. So it depends on what UCLA does against their first two.

Oregon State at home. Oregon State's too good. Oregon State is probably better. Not even probably. I think Oregon State's better than Colorado. Oregon State's a sneaky playoff. I still think Colorado has one more like magical upset up their sleeve. They could.

That could be the game. That could be the game. But I think Oregon State's really fine. I think Oregon State's a worst matchup in the country for them. Because they're going to just run, run, run, run. I don't think Colorado has a defensive line to stand it. I feel like because I, it's either going to be, this is why we read the schedules Brandon, because this is important.

We have we the people need to know this. If you're someone like me that believes that Colorado still has one fulsome field magical moment left. Well, that could be USC in a couple weeks. Could be USC. It seems more likely it. They play Stanford at home. That's not even magical. No, that's just, Sacramento State just speaks.

Yeah, Stanford stinks. And then it's Oregon State and Arizona. Those are the only two. Those are the only other two. It could be Arizona. It could be like an Arizona situation with the, you didn't even read the whole schedule. You want to keep going to. Well, I just don't, I don't know how committed you are.

At Washington State. I don't know how committed you are. schedule reading that's all at washington state and then at utah and then versus bama and the insight dot com bowl it was it was wild that the entire country was up watching that at two a yeah like this wasn't u s t oregon this was colorado colorado state and that does show the magic of the man that is coaching that team like he has i think next year he could join the playoff contenders when he gets the beef up front until then i i think he's doing a remarkable job it's so perfect too because all the people that hate that everyone talks about Dion and he's getting way too much media attention.

They can't, they can't, they can't, you could put out like a bunch of different, I guarantee like the number one click story on all these websites is about Dion Sanders in Colorado. So all these people that say like enough of this shit, they're also hypocrites because they want to jump in the mud and talk about how much they don't care. It's really, really fascinating. That's fine, but I think the online discourse about all the hate Dion gets is disproportionate to the actual hate Dion gets. I don't know how much hate he's getting.

He's getting some. There's no doubt about it. I don't know how much. I think it's ramping up now because, like I said, I think there were people that were like, you're a Dion Hater. The people that were like, why are we talking about?

That's exactly what I'm talking about. That's exactly what I'm talking about. And no point have I hated on that thing. And look how mad you are right now. This is what we're dealing with. A Dion Hater like you just screams. It's Monday morning. It's not who you have breakfast yet.

Did I have breakfast yet? I didn't do that. I didn't do that. I didn't even do that. I didn't do that. D.O.S. I can we talk about the important issues in college football? I led with Dian.

There was my choice what to lead with, wasn't it? Yeah, you're right. This game had it all. Somebody get me my pan. Does Alabama stink? I'm not done talking about Colorado. I want to talk about this Colorado state. What got glossed over because Offset was there because the Rock

was there because... Why does offset go first? All those people that were there, a little way and was that? I'm over the rock. I'm over the rock. I'm over the rock. I'm over the rock.

The rock is, is, is, is, the rock is, he's, he's not even a real person anymore. He's just like an entity that like, he, the, the rock thing. I don't even know what offset is. Did you see the moment on the broadcast where they like, those penalties offset and then they cut to him? I did not. That was very, pretty clever, yeah. Mark Jones was both the best and the worst guy to have.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. that when that motherfucker when he said, yeah, you're right. But when he said at the end, do you believe now? Yeah.

No. No. We don't. Sorry, Mark. Like, that was just a wild, a wild thing to say.

But that's why he was perfect. Yeah, and he had all the, the hacky, Mark, Mark Jones is, he absolutely just wanted to be on the sideline

with the rock and the rappers, yeah. If you're a Miami fan, are you pissed at the rock? No, because I think they've lost the rock a long ago. I think the rock belongs

to America now. He's going to go wherever the wind blows. The Rock and Michael Irvin. Michael Irvin, too? Michael Irvin was at the Nebraska game. Did you see Todd Gurley's tweet? No. Todd Gurley, you know, Georgia, great.

Went to the Georgia, South Carolina game, and he tweeted, I can't believe I went to this game. Coach Prime, turn me up. He's like, Georgia sucks. I'm a Colorado guy now. It was just so weird. Michael Irvin went to the Nebraska game when Miami was hosting A&M that same Saturday,

which is not. you know, not a blockbuster can't miss game, but it is like the big non-conference game for his alma mater. And he was in Boulder for Colorado Nebraska. But I was going to say for all the, all this shit that went on, we had 10 personal fouls called on Colorado State. All of them were deserving.

Which one wasn't? The illegal blindside block, I think, was borderline. I think it was borderline. Okay. All right, okay. Okay. Who would be the funniest? I was,

if a white celebrity akin to Dion's fame, became of the coach of college football team. Who'd be the funniest people? Like if Ellen DeGeneres was on the sideline. Who's the widest guy that could like tap in? Oh my God, there's Drew Carey. Who's the guy that,

who's the white guy that goes to the black community and brings like all the whiteness? Ryan Seekras is leading the team out. Ryan Seekras is the one. Is that fucking Jeff Probst? That would be, that would be great. The white neon just comes out with a,

A bunch of shitty celebrities. The highlight for this game for me, though, the funniest nugget out of this game that got lost in all of this shit we're talking about is that at one point, the Colorado State kicker lines up for a field goal, and Mark Jones just slips it in that he's 31 years old, married with three kids.

Okay, okay. He just slips it in there. All right. This is happening with regularity. What the hell? He did just slip it in there. Kickers all of a sudden just have life stories. Kickers, you'll see a punter

that's like I've been in jail with tattoo sleeves. Every punter is Australian. Now you've got this 31-year-old. Virginia's got a 34-year-old running around. Like every kicker and punter now in college football has life experience. I'm old enough to remember when kickers and football were just soccer players that were sick of being called pussies. And then they were like, fine, I'll play football and just kick the football.

Had a bunch of vowels in their name. Yeah. Is this college football's response to like the college kicker phenomenon where college kickers couldn't make kicks? So they said, well, you know what? Fuck it. Let's just go get some guys. with life experience.

Because that guy's not worried. If he's 31 with three kids and he's making a mortgage. He's not rattled. He's not rattled. This guy's not rattled. He's not. He's not, the Colorado student section waving their arms behind the goal post is not

exactly going to rattle this man. All right. Now, it was another online discussion, but what do you make of Colorado storming the field? I don't care. I'm pro. Stormed the field. You know,

I don't care either, but I think the national mood is, going too far towards. Just let them have fun, let them have fun. Shut, don't do this? Don't do this. Don't they need to be earned a little bit? No. It needs to be a big occasion.

What? It needs to be a big occasion, right? It doesn't need to be a big. Otherwise, it's not special. We're just going to do it all the time. It doesn't need to be special. It needs to be fun. That's all that matters.

All that matters, if you're someone running onto the field, all you give a shit about is just like, am I, would this be fun to jump over the thing and run on the field? Yes. Have you ever stormed the field? I did. When I was at the one two game, Ohio State, Michigan. when I was,

42, 39. Yeah, yeah. We beat Michigan. I was, I was, because I didn't know I was going to be on the basketball team. So I went to Ohio State. I thought I was just going to be a normal student. So I bought like student section tickets. Sure.

And I was a freshman. So they, an out of state freshman at that. So they put my ass like in the worst seats in the shoe, which is to say when we beat Michigan, I was like at the very top of the shoe. So your student section isn't first come first serve? No. It wasn't back then at least. Huh.

I thought all student sections were just like blank tickets and just. They probably are now. I mean, I don't know. But back then, I had like the worst seat. That was decades ago. It took me, it took me like 30 minutes to get to the field. We're a storming the field. Yeah, storming the field on the upper deck is a commitment.

I stopped at the bathroom on the way. About time you got there, there was a cart picking up the pylons. I stormed. Yeah, we know. Oh. I stormed the fields of Gettysburg. No, I stormed September 2000. We beat Florida, 4735.

Yeah. Beat the hell out Steve Spurger. It was fun. Was Rex Grossman the quarterback? No, it was Jesse Palmer who started, but I think Rex Grossman played. Jesse Palmer, we figured this out, and by figured it out, I mean, we Googled Canadian football players. But Jesse Palmer, being a Canadian football player is still breaking my brain. On the yak last week, we were talking about, you know, remember that?

I do. He's Canadian. You were there. Still breaking my brain. Canada's mere existence? No, no, no, no. Canada existing makes sense to me. I do think that makes sense.

America needs a hat. It's the Jesse Palmer. It just feels like a SoCaliforn. Canada's kind of the Jesse Palmer of countries. I don't even know what that means. Real quick, and this means nothing to anybody, but DJ, did you get recognized by a girl in a bar? I did.

Thanks, Ebo, for putting that on the prep sheet. How'd that go? I thought I was getting pranked. How did it work? How did it happen? Is there a story to this? Two girls walked up. We were in the back of upstairs in the bar and two girls walked up and one was like, hey, we're huge fans of the yak and of all of your health updates on Twitter.

Keep up the good work. So have you guys are out here in Chicago. Yeah. Cool, cool. Did you fuck her? No. And TJ goes, oh, you have a kiss coin. Oh, shoot.

Oh, you don't have one? Oh. No. Oh, shoot. Thank you so much. Now, please go away. And then I ran away. Oh.

He literally ran it. That's a funny image. DJ running through the club. Yokes got to go. You think they shouldn't have stormed the field then? No, I think it's fine. And I'm pro storming field, especially they won one game last year. So I'm okay with it.

I do think, I hope it doesn't trend to where, like, everybody's storming all the time. All I care, my only... It just needs to be earned. That's all. My only requirement of storming the field is I want there to... It should be an outpouring of... excitement and i say that just to say that uh climson it's my understanding they they run on the field every game well they're a cult yeah they are and i i assume that at some point if you're at clemson

you're running onto the field without like the it's not an explosion of excitement it's more of just like a out of duty yeah fuck i guess we want it you know and and i think in those instances it feels a little weird but ultimately i don't care like if you should have in that moment when you came back to beat your rival i don't care of your 24 point favorite i don't give a shit about any of that it's like I've had a lot to drink. It's been a long day as a student at this university. And I've been waiting in line since 4 a.m. to see Lee Corso.

Well, games put ahead on. Games also change moods, right? Like you go in, you're a heavy favorite and you want to win. But at a certain point, you were down in the fourth quarter and you came back to win. That charges you up. It was shocking that they won. Yeah. It wasn't.

The way they won gets you excited, gets you going. When the game kicked off, if you're a Colorado fan, you did not think it's going to be shocking if we win this game. But by the time they won the game, it was probably a little bit shocking. And they ran on the field. I don't have a problem. I'll never have a problem with court storming or storming the field ever, ever. I never will.

That's my promise to the American people. You can write that down. I will defend every single court storm and every single field storm. So there you go. Does Alabama stink? Yes. I tried to tell you this after Texas. I don't think they do.

I think they had a real good, not a real good, but I think they realized. but I think they realized that Jalen Milrow wasn't the problem on Saturday, and they're going to re-go back to him. They're going to re-get behind him, and that's going to help him. What is the damage done? Is Jalen Milro now in his head? Is he broken? I doubt it.

I doubt it. I mean, they're bad. Their defense was good, and they're, they could lose on Saturday to Ole Miss. And somebody would have to look this up. When's the last time they lost two games in September? Because I can't. I know they've lost two games, like, twice in the last 10 years, but both of those included a loss to LSU, which was very, very late.

I'm going to get, let me guess, 2007, right before Nick Saban got there. I would say in Saban's first year probably. 2007. Were they not good as first year? They went six and six. Oh, really?

Yeah. I didn't know that. So I would say probably that year. Yeah, it was probably that year. The year they lost a bunch of games? 2007. Yeah, they lost. We'll be down for that.

They lost September 22nd, 2007 to Georgia, and then they lost the next week on a neutral side game to Florida State. Hmm. Good job, Brandon. 16 years. Fat kicker. What? Did you all see the fat kicker?

Oh, Missouri? 61 yards, yeah. Yeah. I think a fat kicker is probably the funniest thing you can have in sports. And the fact that they botched that so bad, I don't know if you watch that game, but he was going to line up for a 56-yarder, but their coach was disorganized and he was a mess. He didn't know if he was sending his offense or his kicker, and then he looked up, there's two seconds on the play clock, fuck, they took a delay a game in the dumbest.

Look how fat he is. I mean, he's just hilarious. She's short and fat. Also, those girls on the hill there should have been standing up. That was ridiculous. 61-yarder to win it. Boom. I do love fat kickers.

And he made it. That would have been good from 62. When Janikowski was at Florida State, he was my favorite college football player ever in that moment. I remember when they would just open up the, they would open up like Florida State broadcast showing like highlights of Janakowski kicking. kicking from beyond midfield and warm-ups. Didn't he also have that personality?

He was like a beer-swilling guy. Yeah. It was just like a, yeah. I like that too. I think fat, really fat anything is funny in sports. I think fat kickers is probably one. Fat pitchers is funny.

Fat pitchers is funny. It's been way too long since we had a good fat basketball player. Yeah, because you have to, as it turns out, you kind of have to be in good shape to play basketball. Yeah, but 20 years ago, Glenn Big Baby Davis, right?

Yeah, see the last one? Like the game has changed. So now you have to be able to be able to, able to run. You don't count young Yokic as a fat NBA player? Well, he got unfat. He's still.

I guess he's still a little puncher. Lucas, Lucas and James Hardin. Oh, James Hardin for a minute. Yeah. James Harden in a contract or a trace. James Hardin if he's not. There's my guy right there.

This is one of the greatest highlights. Yeah. Look out. Now, was he, is, I can't remember what he did. Is he wet? No, he dropped a dime, right? He gets dropped and then he gets back up and recovers. Don't blink because he's flying down the court.

That's a fat guy rolled ankle. He's getting up on his own time. That could be career end. He gets up on his own time. He's a horse. All right. He rolls up. Dime.

Find the, then he hobbles off the court. Have you found the one from Jackson State? Because he was gigantic. Raymond Felton was a fat guy. Khalid Alameen was a, was a, Caliph Wyatt at Temple was a fat. basketball player, I remember.

He wasn't really that fat, though. He was more pudgy. Kalidia Limeem definitely was. I think if you wear a t-shirt, if you're a guard and you wear a t-shirt, you're either pretty fat or pretty skinny. Arkansas had two in a row. They had Oliver Miller and then they had Dwight Stewart, back-to-back fat, fat centers.

I guess Robert Tractor's trailer, who later died from being, you know. Did he die from fat? I don't know what he died from. He did die, right? Yeah, I think he died. Yeah, that's unfortunate. Chad is saying Kenny Lofton Jr. from Louisiana. Yeah, he's thick.

Yeah, he's a big boy. How did Kenny Lofton Jr. get fat? It's not Kenny Lofton. The Kenny Lofton you're thinking. No, Kenny Lofton is his dad. It is. It's not the... Yeah, but Kenny Lofton is his dad.

No, it is. I agree. It is. Right. I understand what you're saying. Yeah. It's not the center fielder. You don't know that.

How do you know that? This has come up before. You're telling me, Kenny Lofton, his Kenny Lofton has never played center field. You cannot swear to that. Not the, yeah. I guess it's true. I don't know that Kenny Lofton Jr's father never played Centerfield

at some point in his life. Can I wave? Or somebody walked by. I guess I can't wave. I'm not allowed to look outside of the room. I'm sorry. I forgot. I'm putting my hands up.

What about fat boxers? They're pretty funny. You get like a chiseled guy. There he is. Look at my guy. Yeah. Is that snacks? Yeah.

Escalade, the streetballer. He died too. Buckets. Escalade died. My guy came out. Shoot. I think he was a, this guy was a.

team manager. And they said, fuck, you put him in the game. Yeah, Escalade was huge. I remember watching Escalade play at Louisville, like in 1990. Is he Mark Jackson's brother? Yes. That's crazy. That's, it's wild.

With all due respect. With all due respect. What was his name? It was something Jackson, I believe. Troy? It was Troy. Yeah. I think that does sound right.

Were you a big N-1 mixed guy? Oh, my God, the biggest. Who was your, it fucked me up. Who was your guy? I mean. Professor. Yeah, it has to be. I like A.O.

A.O. was my guy. A.O. was nice. Spider. Yeah. It fucked me up, though, because, like, when you're coming of age playing basketball and you're watching the N1 mixtape tour, you're like, I guess that's how I have to play. To be good. The good news is, coaches back then were very understanding of that.

Yeah. They were very, they encouraged that creativity. Just remember, like, having the identity crisis at, like, 13 years old where I was like, Dad, you kept telling me to play like Jimmy Chitwood. And how come all the people on TV are playing like that? You see this? You see this shit, Dad. Dad, you never taught me how to dribble? You just taught me how to shoot the basketball.

He turns it off. This is the devil's basketball, son. Hot sauce. Hot sauce. Hot sauce was good. Hot sauce is probably my favorite as I think of it. Like the professor became your favorite. If you're a white guy, you're just like I could, if I'm going to follow one career

path. It would have to be professor. Professor is good on TikTok. He is. He's still doing it. Yeah. He's still doing it. So Hot Sauce was funny because all of those guys were like, yeah, I'm doing this.

I won't get to the NBA one day. Hopefully. Hot sauce was like, I'm not very good of basketball. I just, I can just dribble. Yeah. Skip to my loo making the NBA is. That deserves a movie, doesn't it? I mean, like, I feel like that's something that just gets glossed over that a guy that was

on the end one mixed tape tour made it to the NBA and had like a pretty long. career, I would say. What would you call the movie? I don't know. My dog skip. TJ, go ahead and, uh, you know what you need to do. Am I getting a point? Mm-mm.

Why wouldn't I get a point for that? Because did you hear the room when you said that? I could. I weirdly didn't hear the room. The room. Why? Exactly. Fat boxers.

I already mentioned it, but like, are you going to enter, is that a good answer? How many fat boxers are there meant? Butterbean. Yeah, but he wasn't an actual box. Butterbean versus Johnny Knoxville. is one of the all-time boxing matches we've ever seen. In a department store. In a department store.

Butterbean knocking out bark gun is one of the highlights of my life. Yeah. If you're like me and you're very much a boxing casual and you just turn on like ESPN 2. Right. It's midnight on a Friday night. Yeah. And they're showing boxing.

Do you watch those? I will, yeah. I will. And like the first guy that comes out is chiseled and has like 6% body fat and he's punching himself in the face getting jacked up. And then the second eye that comes out is just a fat dude.

It's very funny. Andy Ruiz. That's right. That's right. Yeah. Tyson Fury a little bit. He's not in the best of shape. He used to be gigantic.

He lost like 100 pounds. But he's not, he's not a, who's the guy he would fight all the time and kick his ass? Deiote. Yeah, Deonté Wilder is like chiseled out of stone. That's what I mean. Like that's an example of like a guy who's chiseled versus the,

is Deontie Wilder the To This Day mean? Yes. He is? To this day. To this day. He's that meme? Yes. I know him as the guy who, it was against Fury, right,

where he wore the equipment walking out. Oh, he got tired walking out, yeah, yeah. And he walked like four miles. By round two, he's just gasped, yeah. One more thing about college football. Oh, do we have our choices? I know we gave our choices out on Friday. I was hoping.

Yes, we do. How do we do? We'll have a graphic up that I'm working on right now, but. I think I did pretty well. Hold on. Here. I got some good choices. 927 on a Monday.

And you are working on the graphic right now. Yeah. You feel like the graphic could have already. It could have been, but it was a busy weekend working. Do we haven't had read, did they? But yeah. We do. I give it the tightest, though, because.

Do you want me to read off the choices or no? Yeah, read off the choices. Okay. So you had Missou plus four and a half. Pretty good pick. They beat Kansas State. So I'm one and O. Upset Kansas State.

Wait, it wasn't a pick. It was a choice. Choice. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. We don't do picks on this show. Florida plus six and a half. Bang.

They beat Tennessee. outright and then you had Houston plus six and a half. They lost 36 to 13 to TCU. Not as bang, no. No. But Titus. So you went two and one on your choice? Two and one.

Pretty good, right? That's pretty good. That's pretty good weekend. Titus had Michigan Money Line. No doubt about that one. They beat Bowling Green 31 to 6. Yep. Ohio State Money Line.

This was the real one. They hit West Kentucky 63 to 10. And then the one where people were iffy, like, is this going to hit? Notre Dame money line. They beat Central Michigan 41 to 17. So 3 and 0 for Titus right. You're the college football expert? You went two and one?

And I went three and oh. Cars.com Cars.com is a leading digital marketplace that connects cars shoppers with their perfect cars, celebrating 25 years of helping shoppers research, find inventory, finance, and sell cars, wherever life takes you next. And whoever you're looking to be,

there's a car for that on cars.com. One guy I was looking to be at one point in my life when I lived in Southern California was a surfer. And I'm very jealous of the people that have the setups where they could like strap their surfboards to the top of their car. Sure. I bought a surfboard, never even used it. But like this was a dream I had.

I never actually got the right car, I think. I think this was part of the problem. Let's put a pin in that. I'd like to talk about those surfers after this particular advertisement that's done. I was just speaking to whoever you're looking to be. Your car can do that because I didn't buy the right car. I had the wrong car. I had the right surfboard.

I ultimately never used it. And I threw it in the garbage when I moved to Chicago. Well, Cars.com does have millions of possibilities for that. Up to 50,000 cars are added. Daily to Cars.com. Shop over 2 million cars for 2 million possibilities. Cars.com. Find your next possibility.

Where to you next? Do you want to do counter-do? Do you feel like this is a bit that's going to run out of steam? Oh, no. I think it's just getting started. Yeah. Do we want to do the dabbo? What's the dabbo?

TikTok. Yep. Yep. I got the, let's see the video one more time before. Yeah, yeah. We've got to see the video one more time. We're probably going to need to watch this every day. But I see the ad.

Coach Sweeney's got the. I'm trying to think of wrong. to try and make it rhyme. You don't have to, I don't think you have to make it rhyme. Just in that cadence. Just kind of say it in that cadence with that like very... Cars.com. Yeah.

We're getting dabble up because I... Hickory, dickory. The mouse ran up the clock. Kosweeney's got that drip. And now he's on TikTok. Just kind of that essence, Gagher. You don't have to... Can you throw up the...

You don't have to... Yeah, okay. I'll try. I'll try and do it. I mean, this is going to be like 30 seconds of just that. Hey, whatever you got. All right. C-A-R-S-Cars.com is a leading digital marketplace that connects car shoppers with their perfect car,

celebrating 25 years of helping shoppers research, find inventory, finance, and sell cars. Wherever life takes you next and whoever you're looking to be, there's a car for that on Cars.com. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I'm going to try and add, look. Okay. Up to 50,000 cars are added daily to cars.com. Cars.com is the best.

Where to next? That was the best one yet. That was the best one. That's so hard to do it over and over again. But yeah, that's cringy as hell. I don't know how he did that for a TikTok. Oh, my God. That's amazing.

Well, he's a cult leader. And anything he does gets accepted. So there's, we'll talk about the chat. in the hat later, but there's a very funny chat in the hat related to Dabo. Let's talk about surfers real quick. We'll get to the NFL shortly. One of those guys do for a living. How do they?

They surf, I think. Right. How do they make money? Not professional surfers, but the guy, you know the guys. I think, yeah. They drive their toy out of forer down to the beach and they have it strapped to the top. I think what they would tell you is money's just a construct, man. Yeah.

You don't really need it. Life's about money. I find my, my value out in the waves, bro. I think that's the answer. They don't make money. I think surfing is,

it'll fuck, you moved to Southern California for, did you ever even try to surf? I tried one time, but I had a bad knee. Yeah, a bad knee, Brandon,

we were rehabbing. I was coming back from rehab a little. I pushed a little too soon, you know, the doctors are still bought a surfboard. If you would have seen the doctors on the shore screaming at me,

they're like, Don't do it. Don't do it. It's too soon. You're not ready. They were in their white coats and everything. Yeah. And I was like, Doc, I got to do this.

I got to fucking shred. I got to be me, brother. It'll mess you up to you because you'll watch the surfers and you'll get extremely jealous. And you'll be like, I want that life. And then you kind of do what you did where you sit down and you think about it. And you're like, they probably make like $36,000 a year living in the most expensive city in the country. Maybe I don't want that life. Where are we at?

Can I see the Iowa cheerleader before we go to the NFL? I just love this. guy so much because he didn't break his gate whatsoever he didn't he didn't stop have you you haven't seen okay i don't know maybe i don't i don't know what you're talking about it's just a guy listen when you when you have a job to do and you show up to do your job and you're all about your job finish your job that's that's here we go yeah yeah yeah i saw this yeah no that's pretty that's that's uh just impressive it's impressive i don't think that's shameful at all No, it's not.

Like there were people who were like, oh, this guy, oh, well. No, that's not shameful. Yeah, no, I think that's very impressive. I think he kind of, I mean, as you do when you get pantsed, he kind of picked him up quickly as if to signal, I have great shame. Yeah, but he picked him up as if to say, like, I'm very shameful as to what just happened. And maybe if he would have, like, taken him all the way off? No, just kind of casually.

But he was so quick to pick him up that I think that made it. You wouldn't have, like, a gymnast finish where he, like, throws his hands up at the year, right? Yeah. Yeah, and then laugh and then point to the pants and just be like, look how goofy I am. You watch it in backwards. It's a whole different story. Ooh. Coming for that booty like.

Was there ever a time in your life, you could do multiple flips like that? No, I could do a pretty good cartwheel once upon a time. I never could even cartwheel. Yeah. Once upon a time. What else you want to talk about? Tuatunga by Loa. Yeah?

Every year, because of his health issues, he gets put into like, when they rank the quarterbacks, he's like number nine, number 10. And when we say health issues, we mean scrambled brains, correct? Correct. Scramble brains, yes. Yes. He's one of the best quarterbacks in the league. I don't disagree. He is one of the best quarterbacks in the league.

Especially right now, yeah. And I realize it's his offense. I realize he has Tyreek Hill, but guess what? Good quarterbacks usually have good receivers. That's what kind of goes hand in hand. Patrick Mahomes has Andy Reed calling plays and doing all that. So I understand he's got advantages, but he throws up one of the most beautiful balls in the league.

Like everything he does looks good. Tua, I'm talking about, not Patrick Mahomes. Yeah. They're two and O. They won a road game restaurant. Do you think it's because he's left-handed that makes it look better? How about that last night? The Collinsworth.

That was one of the craziest things I've ever seen in Brock. So you're talking with a Jamarino comparison? Yeah, that was nuts. Collinsworth with a rare cross-racial, cross-dominate hand comparison. Like doing one is already. risky enough. You're only, I mean, at least in basketball. The basketball world I know, you got to, you got to stay with the same race. You can't compare a white guy to a black guy. That breaks everyone's brains. You also can't do left hand and right hand. And this man did both.

And that was, that was. But he had the team as the common denominator, right? That's one connector. And then what else was he trying to say? The release, like he gets the ball out quick, which I think. I don't think he gets out nearly as quickly as Marino did, but whatever. Yeah. And like also, doesn't every good quarterback do that? That is one of those things like quick release, quick release, quick release. It kind of looks like they all throw it about the same. I agree. I've never, I guess I don't know what I'm looking at when it comes to scouting.

But no, this guy's got a quick release. And then you see another guy, this guy's got a slow release. They throw it like 0.10 apart. That one's really slow. Yeah, I'm not really sure what I'm, yeah. So they both bring the ball behind them when they're going to throw. They both throw, yeah. they both plant their leg.

Can I get a screenshot? They both have towels. TJ pull up. Tua looks terrible as a right-hander, by the way. Can I get Tim Tebow cock in the ball back to throw it? A guy who famously had the shittiest mechanics, if you were to do a still shot of him, throwing the football, I feel like it would look pretty similar to where Tua has it. Another NFL thing real quick.

I'm tired of acting like the Patriots being bad as new. Last night on Twitter I saw a lot of people saying, oh, welcome Patriots fans being average and Patriots fans being like it. So this is what it's like to be average. They've been averaged for like four years now. Yeah. They've been averaged ever since Brady left. They've not been good.

I don't know why we're acting like this as new. Why we're shocked when they come out and they're not good anymore because they're not good anymore. I don't think I'm allowed to say. I don't think I can work at this company and say what I want to say. Why not? He's not awake yet. It's the New England delusion, obviously. Yeah.

Yeah, I guess it is. I mean, Mo Lewis, Drew Bled. so tried to pick up a first down on third and long in 2001 and because of that people in new england genuinely believe that they are special it really did lead i want that me i want the domino's meme where it's like yeah it's third and long against the jets and drew bludso tries to pick up a first down and because of that like like tom brady deserves all the praise in the world right but what what i what i find fascinating is because tom brady stuck his hand under another man's asshole for 20 years in New England,

these people in this part of the country genuinely believe. They genuinely, this isn't a bit, they seriously genuinely believe that they themselves are special and that their football team is special. The jerseys are special and, like, there's some inherent, like, magic to them and their point. Yeah. He did.

No, I mean that seriously. Like, it's a fascinating sociological thing at play. That franchise was around for a long time before Brady. Very bad. And was never good at all. I think the older people in New England get it. And they were like, that's why they were losing their minds. Well, they also lived through the Red Sox not being good forever.

And then like this generation of Boston fans, it just thinks they're born to win titles. Yeah, exactly. It bleeds over to the Celtics, which is hilarious to me as well. They're big three only winning one title. Doesn't get talked about it. You would know it was only one the way they talk about it. You would think it was four or five. Is that the greatest one year?

Is that the greatest one championship dynasty? in sports history, the Celtics NBA championship. USC football. Like, if you look at what they actually won, people think it was a three-year dynasty where they won titles. That's true. That's a good answer.

That's actually a good answer. The first year... They won two, though. No, the first year... They won two. The first year, they did not win the BCS, but the media voted them. The first year, they won one and the media voted USC. Second year, they won the third year, they got beat by Texas.

So they won two titles, then? They won one and a half. But they didn't win, they did not win the 2003 championship. They were awarded it. Well, I mean, that's how college football worked forever. But it wasn't how college football worked at that time. College football had decided to go to the BCS model where one played two and the media just circumvented that. So you trust the media over AI?

I don't trust the media. That's what I'm saying. You don't trust the media. Never. So you trust AI over me. Oh, I bet you're going to go get your fifth booster today, aren't you? You trust AI. This fucking sheep over here. Do you see what Tyler O'Day did?

What do you do? Do you see the Empire State Building? celebrating a new vaccine? Yeah. Was that real or a typo? What was happening with that? I think that was real. What was it?

I mean, the tweet's still up, right? The Empire State Building went, you know how they do the colors for the Empire State Building? Yeah. They did a certain color because to celebrate the, yeah, blue and cyan tonight

in partnership with IHeart Radio in honor of a new vaccine. Partnership with I. It's not even means. What does any of this? What is it? None of those words go together. Why blue and cyan?

Why I are a radio? What vaccine? Scroll down. Scroll down. I don't know anything It does kind of look like a needle Yeah is that the idea I don't know what's going on

How did I Heart Radio get in there? What vaccine? Why is Empire State Building celebrating vaccines? I don't know anything About anything Although the comments I could probably read for days Goodbye, I know Goodbye, I heart radio

See ya Yeah, bummer No she's gonna be listening to Delilah tonight You know what's fucking crazy Is I was listening to so much Gyheart Radio. When's the, you ever heard Delilah?

Yeah, you ever dedicated a song? I have not, yep. I never dedicated a song, but when I was 15, I did call in and get the top nine at nine and I want a gift card to the local pizza place. And I shouted out my girl there. So there.

When you think of songs playing on Delilah's program, what's the first song that comes to mind? I have my answer locked in. And I think when I say, you're going to be mad that you didn't think of it. You know, I got a little Michael Bolton going on in my mind. It's I Hope You Dance.

That's right. It's I hope you dance. That's correct. She played it at the top of every hour. Yes. She's playing it right now somewhere. It's like the meme is five o'clock somewhere. Delilah's playing.

I hope you dance somewhere right now. What else in the NFL? Delilah, a real person. Whoa. Go ahead. Keep going. Listen. Is Delilah just a radio algorithm?

Do you know what she looks like? like? No. I could. Hold on. I've never thought about that. I have no idea what she looked on. I know less about Delilah than anybody in the world.

Before we look this up, let's lock in our guesses. Would you bang Delilah? I'm a hard no. I'm going sneaky yes. Ebo? I'll say yes. I have to say yes. I'm saying it's a sneaky yes.

I'm saying it's a. Should we bring her up and then? Because. Hmm. I just, I just want, yeah, we got to see what she looks like. Deli. Oh, yes.

That's a yes. I think sneaky yes is the exact right answer. Yeah. Fucking Deliola. Well, stop scrolling down. You're ruining it. What else in the NFL? All right.

Tequio Spike's seat. Did you see Tekeo Spike's seat? I love it. I love it so much. I don't know when teams are going to realize they got to treat their old players decent in front of their fans don't like it when you but this is just objectively hilarious somebody in buffalo said tekeo spikes is here old linebacker legend we got a seat for him but look at that so is this in a suite because he's 30 yards behind the end zone if it's not tekeo spikes it's some

other dude that paid a ton of money but that's tekeo spikes that's it's got it played for you i'm just i'm fascinated how this even exists but if if if you're bringing him in and you're honoring him on the field put him up in the suite of the 50 yard line put him up with your GM or something where what's even his chair right there what is he in a classroom that does that does look especially bleak

that's a night school right there yeah that happens to meet at the stadium they're going over a autocad uh that was a good poll that was a great great great point thanks would you if you went back to Mississippi State and they gave you a shitty seat I would burn the place to the fucking

like this yes yes I would burn the place to the fucking ground. I should get whatever seat I want from Mississippi State. God knows I'm not, oh, God, that was, Mark, that was rough. That was rough. Listen, this whole show has a remarkable record in college football, right? I'm undefeated. You undefeated, Ebo?

Yeah, undefeated. Are you undefeated? Are you undefeated? Never lost. Huh. Huh. Oh, look at that. 80% of our show.

How many of you have played a ranked team? How many, we played, uh... We played road conference games. I played road conference games. You got two power five wins. And Connor. I played the other day, yeah. Yeah, I personally.

I did. What happened to that game, for real? You told me LSU sucks. You got under, I did not. I said they were overrated. I still think that. But here's the thing. How did you lose at home that bad?

Mark, here's the thing. Guys, here is the thing. The thing is here, and I'm about to tell you what the thing is. Would you like to know the thing? Tell me. Here's the thing. All right. The worst, the worst thing.

The worst day for a college sports fan is the day your college football team loses for the first time. All right. It sucks. Everybody's going to go through that this year, but it sucks. But LSU, like, walked into our house, told us to get down on a knee and just shot us in the head immediately. Like, they didn't, it was not, it was a painless death. And, like, they were so much, like, they could beat us by 90 if they wanted to. I'm surprised you don't play the, our coach died card more because I do feel like that's a valid.

I've played it on unnecessary roughness. Yeah, I do feel like. Our coach died. I don't know why we're playing. Literally fucking died. No, not that, but just like, yeah, I mean, it should be expected for Mississippi State to not be competing for national titles. Our coach literally died. You know how LSU beat us?

They haven't a live coach. Exactly. There. We do have to talk about Brandon polling after calling out Carolina Mark and Big T for celebrating the first out of a playoff game. The first play of the game, Mississippi State picks up a first down and Brandon like act like they hold like the college football play. But this was a playoff game too. So, no, this was a regular season. He goes first down.

that's and then and then they didn't get a yard the rest of the half hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on i see what's going on here because first of all great point ebo that is that is hypocritical that you get a first down and in a game that you're going to eventually lose 41 to 14 that does feel a little premature to be to be clapping especially when you should on big tea for that uh but ibo if we're being completely honest i know what you're trying to do here which is deflect from the the double high five double high five oh my god tj j tj but i will not i will not apologize for trying to arrive my guys after I bet Mississippi State's Memorial.

I'm sorry. Listen, I don't know. You probably shouldn't even even been on the show today. I know, yeah. You should not have been on the show. Jake Marsh saw this and laughed. That's how bad.

It's stuff. Did you go with your left hand? I don't know. I blacked out. I don't know what the second. It was not natural at all. I blacked out. And it was unpleasant to watch.

TJ, short notice there. I don't even know where you would find that. I don't remember. I think it's been struck from the internet or something. We tweeted out on the movie. mostly sports. The Evo double high five? Yeah. Yeah. That's what, uh, well, as TJ's pulling that up,

um, nobody cares about me and we don't, you need to watch that. To come to your defense, you were saying that about Big T, and you said that was reason why you weren't a big Braves fan. But baseball isn't football. Yeah, and also you are a big, you know what? You know what? Give Brandon a point for that. That's a great point. That's a great point. That's a great point. People think baseball is football and it's not, okay? Football, you can celebrate every first down. I just can't. And you're, You were a big miss. You were saying, you're a big

Missing a big bruce fan. What happened here? What play was this? I don't remember. I think we finally scored a touchdown. Oh, touchdown. That's a high five.

I think I was trying to intercept the high five from Jake Malasek. So I was like, I want to go for two. You must fell out of your seat. I do need the cartoon sound effects. So Joe Burroughs just finished. He's finished as a quarterback.

I think that's all the... I mean, he's obviously hurting, or is he? Because, like, when the game... I did notice, like, the second the game ended and it was time to shake hands. Oh, his limp got turned up to 11. But yeah, has Joe Burrow earned your trust in the way that, like, Patrick Mahomes,

I think, has earned everyone's trust. And the Chiefs, they lose at home to open the season against the Lions. I think... They don't look great. against the Jags. They do win on the road. The Jags are a good team and they went on the road. But also like everybody's going to, the Chiefs could start 0 and 4 and everybody would be like the Chiefs are still a Super Bowl contender. Is Joe Burrow that for you? Do you trust him?

I don't think so. I think as an NFL quarterback, we probably overrated him a little too early. Like he got to a Super Bowl and he earned that respect and everything. But it's not like he's followed it up with these jackets. He was good last year. He was really good last year. I don't know that he's got, he should have earned Mahomes level trust. I think his college career has bled into his NFL career a little bit and has given him trust above where like they're 0 and 2 this year like this should be he should be entering the exact prime of his career right now and it's two games so who knows it's two games but I don't think he's my home's level trust

or even Aaron Rogers or anybody like that I saw the stat I wish I would have paid more attention to it because now would be the time now would be the time to share that but you did see it though I saw that's the only important thing there's something in like quarterbacks who made their first trip to the Super Bowl and lost like never go back. Dan Marino never went back.

He made it in the second year. There's a stat like that that was like you think that these guys that lost in the Super Bowl are like, that's all right. They'll be back and then they'll win it next time. And then they just never go back. And that's like a consistent theme

throughout the NFL. But also whoever put this stat out could have just been full of shit. That's the problem with the internet these days. Do you like two Monday night games? Of course you do. What time did they kick off night.

6.15, central time for one, and 7.15 central time for the other. I think I like that. Yeah, I like that because if one sucks, I don't like them at the exact same time. But yeah, that's staggered enough that you can, if one of them sucks, you can watch the other one. I got a schedule for you to read. You ready? Yeah. Hit me with it.

At 0.2, are the bears starting to think Caleb Williams? Oh, yes. The bears. Because Justin Fields, Justin Fields. Okay, hold on. I think it's been plenty of time now. Don't get me started on this. I don't know that he's that guy.

First of all, Justin Fields is that guy. It's just the Chicago Bears are a horrendous franchise. And they, Justin Fields on the Chicago Bears has not been a good football player. I will concede that. So do you think Justin Fields drafted by the Seattle Seahawks would be a good football player? Yeah. I do. I genuinely believe that.

I think that the Chicago Bears are dragging Justin Fields down and not the other way around. That's what's happening. You don't think it's a mutual dragging? No, I don't. I don't. Like me and my wife last night? Chicago Bears have, I'll read that schedule to you because I do think they're, read the schedule.

O and 17 is starting to become a thing. Oh and two currently. Yeah. What's the schedule looking like? To go O and 17, you have to start O and two. And they are that. They are at the Kansas City Chiefs. That's O'N3.

Versus the Denver Broncos. They're not good either. They're not good either. And their quarterback kind of stinks too. The Broncos are really good at losing close games. So I feel like if this was, if the bears can just hang around, and the Broncos will hand them the game. I think the fake comeback, or the comeback that falls just short,

is the biggest cockties in sports for fans. Dude, how frustrating was that? Because you get the Hail Mary and then nothing. I screamed bloody murder in my house when they, the old ball and chain was upstairs cleaning. Is it because there was a bloody murder in your house? No, it was not. But my lady is from Colorado.

She's a Broncos fan of her. She had given up on the team. They throw the Hail Mary to tie the game, and I lose my fucking mind. I'm like turn the TV on now you got it and by the time they turned the TV on they had they fucked up the two-point conversion huge cockties uh commanders at commanders they're not bad they're two and oh right yeah they're two and oh yeah yeah uh we're just reading the schedule right yeah okay Vikings at home they're probably desperate at the time raiders at home they're

winning what they're not going oh and seven yeah they're they're winning three you've told me three winnable games yeah they're the raiders at home at chargers at saints panthers at home they're winning that. Yeah. Maybe, I don't know. At Lions, at Vikings, at Browns, Cardinals at home, they're winning that. It's not a tough schedule. It's not a tough schedule at all.

Speaking of, the Giants saved their fucking season. Like, they were done. If they go O-N-2 and lose the Cardinals, they are Dunzo. D-U-N-Z-O-Dunzo. Dunzo. Yeah. But they didn't, they saved their season. I stopped watching that game.

I didn't really see it. By the time they'd come back, I was, I didn't really see how it happened. You're not a ball watcher? The Cardinals stink. It's hard to watch eight games at once, Brandon, as it turns out. You don't have the Red Zone? I do, but I got the Sunday ticket thing, and I got the quad box going. I don't think that's great.

I don't know how I feel about it too much in. First of all, you can't choose your own. And secondly, I just, I don't know. I need to be able to, I would rather be able to focus on one game. And then if I see a score I know or a like, I'll go over there. I don't want Quad Box to be throwing it off. I don't have the TikTok brain of like needing Week one I went quad box out of the gate

As the first game started Yeah, and I was I was killing it for the first like hour and a half I want to say like every time the game I had the audio on went to commercial I'd flip it over to I never heard a commercial never once I was just I was all over it Yeah I don't know dude I can't do it anymore I stink at it and I can't watch any of the games I feel like I'm watching none of it And I'm trying to watch all of it I don't I think I'm out on the quad box I think next week I think this weekend I'm gonna try to to lock it. I'm going to go back to the early 2000s where you just watch one game.

Just whatever CBS wants to give you. Yeah. That was a wild time in our life where we would wake up and whatever CBS or Fox decided to give us that day, that's what we're watching. And you didn't really know either. Yeah. Oh, it was a hell of a time. If your local team was playing, you knew that was going to be it. But yeah, I never like if growing up in indie, if the Colts were on a buy, I was like, I don't fucking know what game this is going to be. I've crossed my fingers. It's the one. It's Brady versus Rogers. Good luck, everybody. not and then it would just not be that uh what else one else i think the nfc might be better in the aFC explain i think that's i think that's an interesting development because what top three in the nfc

top three in the nfc are cowboys niners eagles that's easy that's an easy one top three in the aFC or who it's as of right now like i said it depends on how much you want to trust the teams that aren't great out of the gate like the chiefs have not looked like the chiefs we know and love yeah there There were doubts about the Chiefs heading into the season. I think most reasonable minds just say, eh, who cares? It's Patrick Mahomes. It's Andy Reid.

It's Travis Kelsey. They'll be good in the end. But the Chiefs don't look. The Chiefs don't look like a juggernaut. I would go, the Bengals are 0 and 2. Chief Dolphins bills. Ravens are up there.

The bills. Yeah, the bills blew one Monday night, but they can't. I know they look great against the right. But like that's, that's going to be the bills, though. Chief Dolphins Ravens bills? Somewhere, somebody in that group. Yeah. But like who's who the.

Dolphins look pretty good, obviously. The Ravens look pretty, but like, I think the NFC, the lions win in an arrowhead. That's a point for the NFC. Yeah. The Rams were supposed to be dog shit. They're like more competitive than we thought. The Buccaneers are two and O. Cowboys.

Cowboys are good. Yeah, Cowboys are being dominant. Cowboys Niners and Eagles look as of right now, like they could all, like the Eagles, the Eagles aren't even that great yet, and they're two and O. And I would say the Eagles are the worst team out of that group so far. So far, yeah. But they can all three win the Super Bowl. Not at the same time.

That would be illegal. Not this year. No. They couldn't all three win it. No. No. Right. That's against the rules.

There can only be one. Did you watch winning time on HBO? Yeah, I did. That's a no. Explain. No, of course I... Not only did you watch winning time on HBO. You know, I got a callback for this show, Brandon.

You knew this. I auditioned for Kurt Rambus and I got a callback. I was almost... Six one. I was almost cast as Kurt Rammis. And then they went a different direction, and now... the show is canceled. So these are just facts. I'm not saying one calls the other. I'm just saying

winning time was a very successful show in season one. I auditioned for Kurt Rambis. I got very close to getting the role. I ultimately did not get the role. How do you know you got close to getting the role? They told me it was down to me and the guy they got it. That's pretty close. Yeah. It's pretty close. And then they told that to eight different guys. you're not an actor I pretend to like doing this show with you every day yeah season two the magic isn't gone yet

yeah and then it got canceled were you watching it you weren't watching it I wasn't I read the book which was by Jeff Perlman every sports book he writes is great and he was begging for me to watch it by tweeting out hey you guys should watch it but I never did I tried to watch it a couple times

and it was just too grainy two 70s corny yeah Adam McKay They lean too far into that. Let's make it look a certain way. Yeah, Adam McKay was, was, yeah, people seem to be split on it. I really enjoyed it. But some people were like Adam McKay is farting into a glass jar.

It was like they watch Bucky Nights or something. Say, hey, we would like this to be on a basketball court. Yeah. Without the tities and penises. There were tities. There weren't as many penises, though. Fact check that. I think there might have been.

I volunteered to show my dick. You did it in the audition, right? That's fine. in case you need to see Kurt Ramis's dick at any point. If you're doing a documentary about the Lakers in the 80s, the one dick you're probably not going to have to worry about is Kurt Rambuss's. I guess AC Greens too. He has never really got any action.

I volunteered to just be a background, just walking around in the locker room, seeing with my dick flopping around. I volunteered when I was at the ringer, we were owned by HBO. Yeah. Partially, I don't know what the deal was. But I thought when I moved to L.A.,

I was like, listen, somebody on Game of Thrones has to walk around in the background with your cock flop flop and why not me why not me and I really I really thought I might be able to to get a role doing that in the end I did not and that's why I left the company is AC Green the strongest man in the history of sports I'm going to say no I'm going to say uh the Wagner van magnuson who's the who's the Wagner Wagner Magnus van Magnus van Magnus van Magnuson so Agnes Van Gogh. A.C. Green.

You know who I'm talking about? Yeah, A.C. Green. And played for the Laker dynasty in the 80s. And A.C. Green was famously a virgin until he got married like five years later. So he just went through the entire Lakers dynasty and never even tried to get any pussy. It's amazing. Yeah. Do you believe it?

I think I do. Why would you lie about that? Right. Why would you say, you know what I'm not doing? Fucking. Who's the... I'm sorry. Vagnes Van M.

Vagnus Verr... That's not a name. Vagnes Ver Magnus. Look this up, T.J. You don't remember this guy throwing... I remember him, but his name is not Vagnes.

Magnus. Right. Magnuson. This guy. This guy is the strongest athlete we've ever had. This guy used to carry cutouts of Africa.

Do you remember that one? It was like a huge stone that was cut in the shape of... I remember they would drag planes and stuff. Look at this guy. Fucking one hand with a full keg. You don't know that keg's full. That's a good point.

that guy that guy was the ESPN2 god that guy was ESPN2 did have a did have a squad back then I have when I close my eyes and you say the words ESPN2 I picture hot sauce and I picture what's his name Magnus Ver Magnuson I throwing kegs over a wall I picture the early X games too like the early early X games yeah where it was just like five guys in the parking lot yeah um no one

no there were no scores because no one knew how to score Yeah, just watch this. That's all it was. It was really jackass is what it was. A guy did a trick and then it would pan to the judges and they'd just be like, that was pretty fucking tight. It was sick. It's fucking tight.

I just hold up a sinus that's tight or not tight. That one was tight. That's how they judged everything. What else is going on? Evo, can you explain this Blue Jackets versus Spitting Chicklet story? Yeah. So on Chicklets, they were telling a story about how the captain of the Blue Jackets, the first thing he had to, or his first introduction to the new coach was basically going in

and the coach asked him to airplay photos and stuff on his phone to see what type of guy he was, like what type of dude he was. They said this on chicklets and then the team came out, Babcock was like that misrepresentation of what I did. The captain came out, same type of like a little denial thing, but then it came out yesterday that Babcock was on. So maybe he's been chicklets right? So the implication here is that Babcock was asking for nudes of

these guys' wives. Is that what we're... Maybe, but... Can I throw an idea at you? Let's throw an idea at you. Let's throw an idea. I don't know what these guys are about. I don't know what I like Connor. I like Evo, but let's throw some... Yeah, go ahead. We should do an Airplay Day. Let's throw an Airplay Day. Somebody has to put their photos on the screen. Let me see here. Let me... Maybe not right now, but in due time.

Yeah, that'd be fine for me with all my kids, right? A lot of my camera roll is just videos of people who work here because... Delete that one. Oh, yeah. I'll delete this one. I think my past 30 things in my camera roll, maybe more, are just like yak clips. So I got to fix that. I mean, we can watch like a bunch of Frank to tank stream clips.

I have them all on my phone. So, you know, the guy got fired or the guy, they're splitting ways there, Babcock and the blue jackets. I thought the chicklets exist in a bizarre universe. And actually, they don't exist in a bizarre universe. They make sense. Chicklets is a podcast that is very successful because fans like them. They get players and they talk about hockey like they're real dudes because they are real dudes. But hockey media is this weird-ass place where there's a bunch of hockey media that appear to either hate hockey

or hate the people who play hockey or hate the fans of hockey. And it's like they found hockey so that they could push their morals on the audience. There is not a bigger divide between the play. players and their attitudes towards basically everything in life. Right. And the fans of that sport and their attitudes towards basically everything in life. Like, I feel like hockey fans are the biggest fucking dorks in the world. And the players, like, if you put, if you put hockey fans and hockey players together in a big

group and let them, like, hang out. See, I, the divide would happen very quickly where they would just. I think hockey players and hockey fans are a lot closer, but hockey media has no idea what hockey players and hockey fans are about. Maybe it's just the hockey fans on the internet that I see. But they are, they are. the biggest dweeps on earth. But this refusal of hockey media

to give the chickless guys any credit, like the one woman last week was like, I don't know how you can trust that podcast or something like that. Like they got it from players. They got the information. They're more source than you are, bitch. They are way more source

than these hockey media people. I just, and they push back on them. They're like, you know, can you trust these guys? Yeah, you sure fucking can. You sure fucking can. Going through my camera roll, so shout out my buddy,

old producer Jim Cunningham. What's Jim up to these days? He's at Fox. That fucking son of a bitch. I send him, I have a bunch of pictures of black dudes wearing jerseys of white athletes. He's fascinated by these. So I take pictures in the wild. Well, you know what?

Now I'm also fascinated by him. Yeah, you're going to be fascinated because it's a rare thing to see. You see a black guy wearing a dirt. Like a Larry Bird jersey. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

What a great thing. So I'm going through my camera roll and I was walking around. Chicago and I saw a black dude wearing a Steve Kerr Bull's jersey and took a That's amazing. That is amazing. I have a lot of that in my camera. All right. We got chat in the hat. Yeah.

Well, so we have to talk through what exactly we want to be doing with it. But I went through all the submissions and I have them written out. The first question, Brandon, is should you and I know what is going in the hat or is it better for her to be a surprise? And I guess to answer that question, a lot of, it puts a lot of trust in these three that You're right, we shouldn't know. I think we shouldn't know, but what, Connor? Well, I was just going to say,

there are some in here that I think would be very funny if you had no idea of what you were pulling out and it just happened. Give me an example of some just to set the tone of what the submissions were. Yeah, let's just pick one at random. We're pulling it out right now in theory. This is a practice run.

Okay. I'll just scroll a little bit on my phone and see what my thumb lands on. Dress like Brandon Day. that's that's pretty funny that's okay what did you think about my gift wheel idea not gift wheel gift hat

I like I like that idea so Mark originally said at 20,000 subscribers by the way we're 114 right now we need to get those numbers up 118 118 let's go if you're watching right now subscribe to get those numbers up at 20,000 subscribers

he was going to take the boys everybody to dinner but I said hey let's make it more interesting so we're going to have a lot of hats on this show we're going to have a gift hat and we throw in dinner, maybe air maxes, sneakers. Yeah, I don't know. Just gifts. A bunch of gifts.

And then whatever he draws out, he has to buy the whole crew. I, whatever I draw. You're not drawing. You claim 20K. I'm in 30K. So every, I think every 5,000 subscribers, we alternate. Yeah. I get the, every 5,000, 30,000, 40,000.

You get the 25, 35, 45, 45. Okay. If the show still exists at that point. And I do. But then, but then I want, I want two wrinkles. One, I want there to be a ton of gifts in there, but I want there to be one piece of paper in there that says the boys have to buy gifts for us.

Correct. Reverse gift. It's the reverse card. Yeah. And then I want one that is we buy gifts for the fans. Like there's one where like we pick like five people at random who watch the show. Fan gifts. Yeah.

Because we have to incentivize then to subscribe. We can do fan gifts. We have to do. Right? Yep. We can do that. So we, we pull. Yeah.

Yeah. If we pull the fan one. thousand we go into the gift hat right it let's say we have eight gifts in there yeah we have we should have more than that we have 80 gifts in there yeah and then we have one floating reverse and one floating fan one floating fan yeah you know what and maybe the fan is just like give the fans to give the fans too yeah uh well yeah i'm i like that idea and then we draw and if we draw that then we draw that then we draw again for the what the gift would be and then we we just pick some people at random and that shit there's one more thing I want to talk about before we go.

One more thing I want to talk. Can I get Chey's tweet up, please? Stephen Chey is a robot. Stephen Chee is the most... I hate Stephen Chey. He's the worst person we have at this company. Stephen Chey puts out parlays and stuff, and, you know, he's good at making...

I believe he makes picks, not choices. So he's good at it. But Saturday night, and I'm going through the ringer with collar, Colorado and I'm working on unnecessary roughness and I'm getting ready. And at 104 a.m., I believe, he tweets out, there are no shortcuts to greatness. And I thought, my God, what is Stephen Che up to?

This son of a bitch is. He's probably grinding in the weight room right now. He's grinding in the weight room. This guy is cutting weight. He's doing something. This guy is building. My God, get out of his way. He was just coming up with his parley for the next day.

And objectively, when it comes to gambling, correct me if I'm wrong, Ebo. There's no bigger shortcut to greatness than throwing $5 on a parlay to try to win $5. I think it's everyone's, yeah. That's a definition of a shortcut. A parlay is absolutely a shortcut to grace.

Because I only have to win one bet. Right, to get all this money. Yeah. Finding a massive number with a plus buy it and throwing a little bit of money at it is the definition of shortcut, right? Could you imagine if this company had somebody that threw together a three-team moneyline parlay

on Saturday that cashed at plus 1375? that guy nobody knows what any of that means unfortunately well you know what if you followed me then you won that because i i hit it i hit florida money line i hit missouri money and um this was a ohio these were choices can we go through the choices again from the weekend because i i thought i you had um michigan money line yeah beat bowling green 31 to six you don't have to say the scores ohio state money line 63 to 10 and then noturday money line Is Buckeye Brandon back, by the way? Are you ready to say the Buckeyes might actually be decent?

We'll find out Saturday. I was going to ask you, listen, listen, they sleptwalk through a couple of games, but they didn't sleepwalk the other day. And Western Kentucky, they're not bad. They're not good, but they're not like Youngstown State. They're decent team. 6310 is pretty impressive. I'm not, how fired up are you?

I'm not brave enough to say we're going to beat Notre Dame, but I don't be a person. Everyone was, like, worried about the quarterback for Ohio State this year. And the quarterback, to me, was the least of the problems. I was like, I wanted to, you want me to say it? Yeah, so we're going to beat Notre Dame. Good, good. I just found out I'm going, by the way. I'm going to the game.

So, that would be fun. Did somebody else have to inform you of that? Yeah, because I got a ticket from somebody else. So that's how that worked. I was not going to go to the game and then someone's like, you want to go to the game. I'll be here. I'll be here streaming it because I work for a little. Oh, that's cool.

That's cool. Well, unfortunately, I'm not the biggest Ohio State fan at this company. So otherwise I've literally and figured. Otherwise, I'd be here with you. Because the other one's fat. We got it. Yeah, okay. All right.

What else? Anything else? There's an $80 million F-35 fighter jet on the loose over South Carolina, so just stay safe out there. What? That's definitely in the ocean by now, right? They don't know.

What's the story? There's an F-35 that was flying pilotless and just got away, and they don't know where it is. The pilot is safe. He was taken to a hospital. Who cares about the pilot? What about the plane?

No idea. This is right around where I used to live. Oh, this could have been you. This could have been. It could have wound up right in my back. backyard. The plane. North Charleston's right off the Atlantic Ocean. Like, it's definitely in the

ocean. We have no idea. What do you mean we? You're not involved in the search, are you? We as Americans. Yeah, exactly. There could be people where it just landed up in their land and they were like, we want to put onto this. This is just stock footage, right? This is. I think this is just what

that plane would look like if you were concerned. This isn't the actual plane showing off. No. It would be funny if the plane was just mugging for the cameras like this. What's up, bitches? So at some point

it's going to run out of gas and crash. And that point is already happy. I know it said the transponder is working but how can we not find a plane?

Yeah, that is something that fucks me up to. How can we find everything? The Malaysian airline thing is when we can't find planes that's somebody's lying. What's your Malaysian airline?

That's a Tommy Walker prompt, I think. Tommy, oh, Tommy read all about the Malaysian airline disappearance and go. So,

So let's build the show a little bit, okay? Why don't we do at the 11th or 930 halfway through the show? Let's do what are the white women up to on Tuesdays. Okay. And then Wednesdays will be Tommy Walker Day. Okay. And then we'll do chat in the hat Thursdays. Just only Thursdays?

Or do you want to do those more often? Chat in the hat every day? I don't know. I guess it depends on what's in the hat, you know? Well, the chat's in the hat. if we start pulling shit out and it's like give a thousand dollars to we're going to go broke immediately i'm not trying to do that every single day um i feel like chatt in the hat is more of a concept you can't really define it you can't put

boundaries on it it's a it could be a friday thing that feels like a friday thing i think it is every day i think it's in every day i think it's an everyday to do one chat in the head every day yeah all right we'll start that tomorrow don't forget to we have to at some point to tweak it to our immaculate grid yes w nbaa yeah do it right now do it right now wmba oh i got to you something while he's pulling that up tonight me and Titus play each other in trivia and the dozen individual tournament we play each other in trivia mono imano and when are you recording your next one next round oh shit um all right so that was the wmba macon let's see i'm not having a status quick that that logo on the top right is just not a logo

Oh, man.

Look at that. God, we're so fucking good at those. What was the percent on Candace Park? I didn't say it was so good. That's less than Bernie Griner. Bernie Griner was 95, right? We're getting better.

Fellas, we're getting better. We're so good at those. We're on to come up. One of these guys are going to fucking study for it and just ruin the curbs. I was trying to give Indian, I saw Indiana fever up there and I was trying to think of, and as it turns out, wait,

I got nothing. I knew. a fever, hmm, I knew of fever wings. Who? Tierra McCowan, she played Mississippi State. I bet that was right. Well, run it back, do an incognito tab. What does that mean?

It means you can, like, reset the, you can, like, reset. That might not be right. Who cares? We got our one. You can't throw it out there. We got our one. I want to see if you right now. I don't know if I'm right.

I don't know. I think she plays for Dallas now, but who knows if it's stated or not. Yeah, throw it, throw it. So we did Candace Parker. Do the fever wing, do the one of the one, the dead middle. Yeah, Parker. Candace Parker.

All right. Macau, MC, C-O, W. Yeah, that, T.R. McCown. Wow. Walker. Let's go. Let's go.

Yeah, Fred. I'm not trying to high-five you ever again. No, no. Get that hand away. Oh, yeah. What was that? That was the adaptation of the double high-five that I invented to try to fix.

Somebody. Somebody beat 39%. Season 2, Brandon is a different animal. Wow. Oh, my God. That is a point. Brandon got a W today, I think. I won the whole show?

I think you might. Damn. I think you might have. Yeah. What the review of the tape, but, uh... Man, WNBA grid is a perfect way to end the show. Don't be great. Like the vibes are off the charts now.

If you do the WMBA grid today, tweet it at us. Tag us, don't tag basketball reference. Tag mostly sports. Two for nine is what to beat. Two for nine. Well, what was our score? What was our rarity score? Did that?
