Bar stool sports Titan Brandon Walker Mostly Sports Welcome to Mostly Sports Oh Sorry Should have done that before the show

Welcome to Mostly Sports presented by Modelo I'm Mark Titus He is Brandon Walker Today Today it is Thursday October 1st Octugley is here baby

Tiggly has What? You can't, I mean, we're two seconds, I haven't even read the ad. You're right. I haven't even told the people about Modelo. And Modelo's delicious and wonderful.

I'm not, I wasn't twisting. And you know, you know. Mark, if we don't sell these shirts, we're financially. We're never going to recover from this.

We would look ridiculous. Do you want to look ridiculous? I still have an eyeliner on from the thing we shot last night. As do I. So I think I do want to We are brought to by Modello We'll get into the baseball stuff here in a second

We're brought to by Modello First I want to tell you that this crisp, smooth Modellos For the traditions that make college football Saturday sacred At the tailgate posted up in the same lot With the same crew since back in the day at the bar Sitting in your lucky seat with a Modello in your hand Saturday after Saturday or in the stands Not spilling a drop of your Modello

Through every fan quake Because it's not just game day, it is tradition And those who keep it alive deserve a Modelo Modelo, the official beer sponsor of this show and of college football playoff. Drink responsibly, beer imported by Crown imports, Chicago, Illinois.

Stock up now. What do you want to talk about, Brown? The Braves and the Phillies is hell of a series, Connor. Dude, it's something. Hell of a series. Hollywood couldn't script this. I don't know why they would want to.

Yeah, you're probably right. It's a first round, first round playoff series. So let's just go very quickly through the four, and then we'll decide which way we're going to go. Obviously, Cubs lose to the hottest team in baseball. all just basically get beaten to sleep both games. And then the Red Sox also get steamrolled.

Even more steamrolled than the Cubs got steamrolled. Yeah, they did, yeah. But they got steamrolled by their arch rival in a series that looked like, you know, a lot of people were on the Red Sox. But then you got the White Sox steamrolling the Astros. And there's the Phillies and Braves playing two classic games with late, inning heroics and whatnot. Where should we go from here?

Should we just do, should we talk about the Cubs? I mean, Yank Tiggly is about to start over. Is that how you do it? Yank Tiggly? Yanky. What did you say a Tiggly, dude? Octanky, okay. Octankey.

It's been Octanky for years. Octanky. Yeah. Sep Tanky was. You're really telling yourself. Yeah, what the hell? You don't know ball like that? I thought you knew.

So it's not brave. I don't know. Where's the, where's the, where's the, where's the, where's the, the, where's the, the hickley coming from? The Phillies are trying to get back to Octitizens Bank Park. That's right. Yeah. Everybody knows that.

It's pretty, it's pretty straightforward here, Brandon. Uh, no, I mean, Philly's Braves is obviously the best series. It's the only series that went to 3-8. Those home runs by Swarber and Harper, yeah, those are two hit. They were bombs. Thanks. That Swarber Bomb was a Swarber Bomb.

And then the bone one, I thought, was going to be like a bloop or a fly-out to write, no problem. And it just carrying, it kept carrying, kept carrying, and it winds up. Also, the broadcaster Matt Viscurition had no idea that was a home run. Nobody knew that was a home run until it actually hit the stands. But yeah, Schwarburne Harper, those are no doubters. So where's your head at? You feeling it?

I could feel it a little bit of my balls, yeah. You weren't feeling it yesterday. It wasn't that. I said in the show yesterday we were probably going to win. I did think, however, when it came to the seventh inning and Bryce Harper had that horrendous misplay in right field, it felt like that was going to be the end. It's been a rough right field for this series.

Well, I think the shadows. The shadows have been causing some major fucking problems, but it won't tonight because it's a night game. But I thought that when Bryce misplays that routine fly out to right field, Braves wind up scoring two in the bottom of the seventh inning, Philly's offense hadn't done anything since the first inning. I thought it was dead. And then for Schwerber and then for Harper to redeem himself right after that to tie the game,

unbelievable. Unbelievable. And now you do kind of start to believe again. That seems like a moment. Now the calendar turns October. It's red October. I don't know about that. I said that on Web yesterday.

I'm like, it's Red October. And he said, we'll never do Red October again. I think Red October was like a real thing in 2022. But it could become a real thing again. Correct. It's dead right now. I'm not saying it's not October right now. But it could be resurrected if we get this win.

If there is that magic that comes up. Yesterday there was some magic that we haven't seen in years since 2023. And I'm hoping we could keep that magic going. I don't think that's long enough ago to say years. can't say years. Well, three years. Sure. But we had...

Just that you're framing is that you didn't see the magic last year. In 2024. Right. Yeah, but... It's been two magic years. Years, I think, has to be like... A decade. Yeah.

We're talking decade. We haven't won this game in years. Yeah. Okay. Oh, no. Oh, boy. The team can say all they want... Red October is here, folks.

The team can say it all they want. They need to show me win today. I'd even say That's a win against That's true fandom right there They gotta earn my If we make it to the NLCS I will be all the way back in on Red October

I'm still all the way back in I won't be back in on Red October If they make the next series I'm all the way back in on the team What are you saying? Red October I just don't think has been the same since 2023 Connor if you win today

If you win today You are What is it the second third time That a team that lost the first game In this best of three I believe second Second? Like never happens. They went to this format because they're like the one and done thing.

You know, we've got to give these teams more wiggle room. It's a long 162 game season to have it end in one game. You know, that's not fair. Let's do three games. And then the data said that every single series, it's three games. The team that wins game one just wins it. So it's like, why don't we just do the one game? But you have a chance to make history, kind of.

I know. You're telling me that the Phillies would be staring history in the face would overcome it on the road against the division rival as the calendar turns in October and you're going to sit there tonight after they win and say, I don't know. I'm not. It's not Red October. Red October's here. I'm in on Red October, Conn't. Fuck it. I'm, fuck it. Give me Red October. Swing it. Listen, I'm open. I'm in on the team. Give me the ball. Give me the ball. Connor, Brandon, you want to, here.

Red October's ours. It's ours. You don't get it. It belongs to the desk. If we win tonight, I'm in on the team, but the phrase, rat October has had a stank to it for the past couple. a year. A stank. A stank. And I don't want to officially label it. But tonight would undo the stank is what I'm saying. Perhaps. The stank is off. What are we saying? It's on a game by game basis. They're not going to win. They're not going to win. Come on. They can't beat the brave starting pitcher tonight. Yeah. They can't beat him. It's a bullpen game. They can't beat the bullpen game. You're not going to beat the bruce. Forty six years since the Phillies have won a winner take all playoff baseball game. Is that right? The tweet I saw this

morning. I don't know if it was a late 1980. Yeah, 1980. I don't know if that's true, but uh, 46 years last time. 46 years. But we, we beat the Braves a couple years back to back

in the playoffs a couple years ago. I'm hoping the same is true tonight. I was years ago. It was years ago. But it's closer than 46 years ago, so we'll see. 46 isn't that long. Yeah, that's that's...

You gotta believe, Connor. I think you guys are misdetermin order to say. I believe in the team. I'm jacked up for tonight. I will be watching it back at home. The mojo is great in my studio. apartment. However, yeah, the whole Red October thing, I don't know, they've run that back year

and year out and it's been different for the last couple of years. And I want to make sure that it's in the right place. Why don't you watch you here with Max? They're actually doing, I heard potentially audio on the baseball game tonight. So if you watched it here, no. It would be Are you not watching in the cave? I'm watching in my studio apartment. What's wrong with watching in the cave? Are you allowed to do that? I thought if you're, well, I think he might be. Have a get out of jail free car because I got an NFL stream tonight. Correct. So there's a game of a century with the Browns and the Steelers.

Yeah. I'm not a Browns or a Steelers fan. Yeah. I'm an Eagles fan. The Eagles aren't on tonight. So I'm watching it home. It's going to be a full cave tonight. So I'm watching home.

I heard the audio might not be on that football. You got to believe, though, Connor. I absolutely believe. You guys are going to lose, but you don't have to believe that you're... I'm rooting like hell for tonight. That was a magical moment. And let's see if they can run with it. I think they will.

Your boys win tonight. Your boy's seven and one on predictions of this wildcard, by the Would you like to Yeah? Here. Yeah. I thought the Astros would win yesterday,

but could you inject me with true serum real quick so I can say it what I would like to say. Well, yeah, yeah. It's a big needle. We got to go in the ass.

We got to go in the ass. It's a big, it's a huge needle. I'd be theoretical true serum. The truth serum's got to go in the ass. Have you ever gotten true serum before?

It's a big needle. It's a huge needle. In the ass? It's got to go ass. The truth comes through the ass. It's like five and a half inches. Um, all right.

Go ahead. I am kind of fronting right now, putting baseball up front. All I want to talk about, all I want to talk about is Mike Tomlin's Minecraft City. The reaction to it, the energy he had when displaying it, which was to say not any energy. And then there's this bizarre counter response online where the Minecraft truthers, and the hardos are saying, yeah, there's no way he built this and yada, yada, yada. It was. People are, what are they accusing him of?

Someone else building it? Faking it. Yeah, yeah. But those people are crazy. It's always, it's just fascinating to watch this. Why would an NFL coach lie about building a money? But it does, it boggles the mind that an NFL coach would have the free time to do this in the first. But over 12 years.

Also, why would he lie? What is the motive to lie? Over 12 years, maybe you can find some time. Yeah, they have hobbies. Men can have hobbies. He didn't do it in August. You know, he didn't do it. And it's just the detail, the apartment.

So I have so many. The man loves rooftop amenities. And the risk I run as I get older and I say like I don't get things. People, I don't mean this to be a hater because I'm not hating on Minecraft at all. I just simply don't get it. I watched this and I was like, this is impressive. No question. I don't understand the game, really.

Is this considered, is this crazy because an NFL coach did this? Or would this be crazy if I told you a 14 year old Korean boy built? this would you be like holy shit I would assume there's there's probably 50 Korean 14 year old Korean boys that have done this to this level but even to build it out

at this level is a very high level of dedication right yeah like this isn't something that like this high level for anybody what what percent I'll be talking of Minecraft players that build something like this this is like in the 95th percent I'd say 95 percent over 12 years

I would say more likely than not most people are not keeping up with one word for 12 years. Yeah, they move on and build other worlds. Or they like forget about it. Like I think most people's experience with Minecraft is like every few months, they're like, we should play this for two weeks, and then they play it for two weeks, and then they stop playing. Yeah.

It is, if you think about what the early, the Minecraft screens are right when you start and how it's just, you got to build block by block, and you got to dig and all that. It's pretty crazy. But like, I don't know. It's amazing. And this is just scratching the surface. He said he's going to do a deeper dive later. I think Mike Tomlin.

There's only an 18-minute video. I think we're on the verge of super duper stardomber start him from Mike Tomlin. Yeah. I agree. I think he's great on Sunday nights. They'll probably add him to some games later. I think he's very engaging. And now he talks like an actual person would talk and not like a coach analyst would talk.

And then he does shit like this. I think we're on the verge of superstardom. I feel like his persona when he was coaching. And it might just been because he was coaching the Steelers. his persona was a I don't know if hard ass is the right word but he just had like tough minded minded like the way you'd answer a question no nonsense conference that's a good way of putting it a no nonsense tough minded coach uh of a franchise that feels no no no nonsense and tough minded all this city that's no nonsense and since he's no longer been the coach of the steelers now he's the same guy and

i imagine like you said he's been doing this 12 years that's that's who he's been this whole time but uh i feel like we're starting to see that more brandon he's just like a he's a goofball He's a goofy nerd. And it's so much likable. I love watching him on TV. I love that he put this out. It's one thing to say, I built this crazy city. It's another thing to be like,

I'm going to make a YouTube video talking about it and put it out as content for people. The lesson here is that even the most no-nonsense guys we have are capable of some nonsense. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And me and you are almost nothing but nonsense. Well, yeah.

I would say it kind of lends itself to being that the no-nonsense guy, his discipline in his life kind of translates to his other hobbies. But he's using it for nonsense. I think, I don't know if it's nonsense as more of like a creative outlet to, he's a structure guy, right? I'm going to do something that I regret already. I'm going to put on my Connor Griffin hat and I'm going to say something about, something about all this.

This feels like some Connor would say, men should be allowed to have hobbies. And I don't like the idea of men saying, I have this hobby and people are like, time out, stop the presses. This doesn't require a hug, Connor. This doesn't require a hug. Connor, I'm on a roll. This doesn't require a hug. Let me.

We'll do that. But like not like, let me. Yeah, let him get it out first. Let me finish it. And then we'll do that. The men have, yeah, you don't need to, you don't need to bring everything to a screeching hall to talk about like, is he, is he, is he, you know, oh my God. This is, it's, it's a man.

A man has a hobby. Sure. A man. A man can have hobbies, Brian. Joy is doing it. Yeah. You should be allowed to have a hobby as a man. Now, you want a hug?

Let's hug. I was just going to do a DAP-up, but I would love a hug. I'm just not sure this required a hug. I feel like are we a hug and a chest pound? Yeah. That was big. That was a great sentiment by Mark. And that is absolutely something I would say.

That being said, I'm starting salsa dancing next week. Now, do you qualify? Hold on people. Hold on. It's one of his resolutions, right? One of my resolutions. I'm starting it. Men can have hobbies.

Men can do things. Starting it in what way? Like taking classes. Right. So I've taken ballroom dancing lessons with my wife to please my wife as an anniversary gift in like 2008 when we were like two or three years in. She wanted to take ballroom dancing lessons. So we went as a couple and took ballroom dancing lessons. You'll be taking salsa dancing lessons by yourself. Yes. You did it to appease your wife. I'm doing it to find a wife. Yeah. Not necessarily. I don't know which one's dumber. Not necessarily at this class, but to have the skill that could then be used. You're looking for a big booty Latina. Yeah. It would be. He's looking for Latina. Yeah, is just dating.

You're looking for, you're trying, this is the first step in trying to get a big booty Latino. It would be an offshoot benefit if it did come around. Yeah. And I like to pile on Connor as much as anyone, but I think, I think this is a good move. Yeah. I think this is a smart move. I think dancing is something that other guys are like, what are you doing?

Yeah. What are you doing? But then if you ever go to, I mean, Brandon, you've been to a honky tonk. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I've lost three girlfriends at honky talks. Yeah. I didn't know how to dance.

Yep. Three different women. I took to honka-dunk. You have one that had a badonka-a-dunk? Yeah. That's right. That's the one that I still think about. The other two, the relationship is going to end anyway,

but the one with the badong-a-dunk-a-donka-don. They, listen. They had a double-dunk-a-dunk-dunk-a-dunk. He wrote a-haw-a-dunk-dunk-a-dunk. He wrote a song called Hockey-Talk-Bad-a-Donkoddunk. That's right. Line dancing is great, too. I'll do that as well.

Dude, the guys that know how to line dance. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. They're swimming in it. Yeah. And all the dudes that show. up and they're like, they're tough guys and they're just gonna like sip on their beer

and lean up against the wall and everything. And they're like, that's gay. I'm not doing that. And then you look out on the dance floor and those dudes that know how to line dance are having sex with your wife. Yes. Right on the dance floor.

And there's nothing you can do about it. One of the biggest piece of advice my grandfather ever gave me when I was an infant was you got to be able to learn how to dance. What times are you going to do this? I'm saying. He said verbatim what my grandfather told me as a kid. Wait, hold on.

So what were you saying about the men dancing? on that line you just said about the guys dancing on the dance floor or what? What, they have sexually to survive? Oh. Stop. Oh, hold on. Stop. Now, hold on a second, Brandon.

Because I have outwardly talked about how I lose women to guys who know how to dance. I've talked about this a lot. And now all of a sudden, Connor is looking to learn how to dance. Like, I am a near perfect man, but like one of my flaws is when I'm in a relationship with a woman,

I oftentimes have that relationship in because she dumps me for another man who knows how to dance. And I've never, in 40 years of living, I've never been able to figure it out. You're 40, goddamn. And then now Connor comes along and he's like, you know what I should do?

I should learn how to dance. Mark, you're giving him the playbook and he's running the plays. That's very interesting. Connor Stallions. Stop. That's a hell of a pun, actually. There's some layers to that.

It was pretty good. But not true, not true. You're going to be studding out on the dance floor? No, no, no. So are you going to learn all manner of dance? It's also just the first quiver in your, in your... Not all manner, no. The arrow in your quiver or...

And then I think I'll cap out at line dancing, which is very fun. So Latinas and rednecks, that's what we're going for? I think that's a good. There's a, like a cross-section. Yeah. So what's your current hobby portfolio, Connor? That's a great question for everybody. I would like, yeah, everybody go around

and the room and answer this question. I have a question of where we draw. Is going out to dinner and eating good food? Is that a hobby? No. No, that's, you have to do that to survive. Yeah, that's not. That's like a...

What if it's gourmet? Oh, you're saying being a foodie is a hobby. Fine dining. Like at what point does food become a hobby? Like when you learn how to cook? If you actively... When you want to learn how to cook? Yeah.

Are you spending your off-time researching restaurants and menus and planning it? out, oh, I haven't had Thai food in a while, and I'm going to go to this beautiful tie spot. You have to make a lot of effort to do it. Eating as a hobby just sounds bad, though. Yeah. I know what you're saying, but yeah.

What's your portfolio look like, Connor? Beach volleyball. Of course. Hopefully going to add dancing to it. Collecting DVDs. And then I would also say I'm currently rewriting Star Wars Episode 9. So that is a video that I'll be putting out eventually, but I am rewriting what my plans for Star Wars episode nine would have been.

Some writing. What does that mean? That's like fan fiction or like this is for the show? Is this for... No, no, no, it's not for the show. And it's not necessarily fan fiction. It's in my brain. And I...

No, no, no, stop right there. Shut up. What did you just say? Not necessarily fan fiction. You're taking a piece of media that has been created and published and put out for the world. you didn't like the vision they had for it you're going back and rewriting the fiction because you're a fan of it

how is it not necessarily fan fiction usually fan fiction turns into like porn and that's not that's not what I'm not true at all no I don't ask me that also you're just TJ the porn expert you're a porn guy it's in my portfolio you're just doing this for love of the game

this isn't coming to anybody you're never going to no eventually I might like make a video and then post it on what my plans would have been if I were hired to... Instead of fucking JJ Abrams. Don't give away anything, but what's one avenue you would do

in episode 9 that they didn't do? Darth Plague is the wise. Wow. That would have been in it. But they didn't use that. Felt like a layup for them to use it and they didn't. I don't know.

I don't either. You ever heard of the tragedy of Darth Plague's the wife? No. Of course we haven't. Me and Mark both get pussy often. Yeah. So no.

All right. What's everybody else's portfolio? getting pussy often. Okay. Cody said watching Wheel of Fortune. That's not, that's not bad. Watching, watching game shows as, like, that's a hobby. Cody asked me the other day if I watched Wheel of Fortune as though it was like,

like an HBO, prestige, like episodic, like episodic, yeah. Game of Thrones. I'm like, yeah, I watch it. I'm only on season eight right now. Don't spoil it for it. We're binging through all the seasons. I've had a lot of Wheel of Fortune phases in my life where a month will go, and I watch it every day.

The game show, because I don't know if this is true of every market, but when I was growing up, and every market I've ever lived in, they do the Wheel of Fortune Jeopardy back to back, you know, like whatever channel that's on. Is it always on like the same channel? Usually, yeah.

Yeah, whatever. They're sold by the same company, so I assume their package. Whatever, whatever, yeah. It's the old bell curve thing where I think like the morons, like Will of Fortune Moore, the middle enlightened people.

Yeah. Think of Jeopardy as the more elite show. And then I think when you're a real genius, you realize that Will Forts is actually the best show. It's actually better than Jeopardy. I think real genius is realizing they are the perfect peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Yeah. That they are the perfect counterbalance,

that this one's going to really take my brain to places. And this one, I'm going to scream with that fat bitch for buying a vow after she got her first $500. Yeah. Makes me so mad. Yeah. They just love buying vows.

Vowls cost money. Vowls fucking cost money. Yeah. The way they play the bonus round, I scream at the TV every time I watch. 12th 14. It's buying vowels, dude. Not if you know it's there.

In this economy, just fucking buying vowels? Like, okay. Like, say there's a phrase and the first word is one letter. Mm-hmm. And A is already off the board. So you know the first letter, it's I. You don't have to buy the I. Buy the I.

Because you know it's there. Right, right. Brendan, the bonus round, they give you R-S-T, L and E. Every single time. Every single person goes up there and asks for C, D, M, and fucking O. Like, there's going to be a Z and a fucking P. And they're not going to give you the easy question. They already gave you the easy ones.

That's right. That's right. That's right. Anyway, the Cubs season ended last night. Couch boys not going to Alaska. Oh, no, Connor might still go. Oh, I still have the Guardians. Wait.

The Guardians is my other. You are in trouble, brother. Who's mine? You have White Sucks Brewers. Oh. Oh, these are the Alaska teams right here. Mark, you're not in a great spot. I do think the Phillies lose today, and that helps.

Oh, Ibo's done. TJ's the worst. I mean, TJ's got to be the one that's... Yeah. I kind of wanted to go to Alaska, too. I'm good. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Ebo, you're feeling. You're feeling great. You're not going to Alaska at all. I want to go. I wouldn't mind going, actually. I enjoyed Alaska, but remember the stipulation is we just go for a day. Yeah. Oh, that's right.

You can't be... You can't cheat it. You can't go up there and be like, well, I'm here. I might as well, extend the trip. No. Got to go. Dip your toes in. Get out.

You might be. not even have time to dip your toes in. That would be awesome if we could somehow book the flights. So you have a connecting flight to Chicago through Anchorage. Chicago to Chicago tickets. Connecting to Chicago. Sir, we're coming from Chicago. Yeah, the Cubs last night, disaster, as I predicted, lifeless.

I will say, and this is an important note, the game did end at midnight on the dot central time. The Cubs did play October baseball. The record reflect that they did make it to October. Well, now, they were on the West Coast, though. So if you do time zones, it ended at 10 o'clock, which was clearly September. I'm just a devil's advocate there. I'm just asking questions.

Devil doesn't need an advocate, Brandon. He's the most powerful evil force. That's ever been. It's ever been. created. He needs no advocates. He does not need your help, Brandon. Sorry. No, it was, I mean, I kind of said everything, like, I knew

it was coming, and I said, I did. Why did the offense stop? I said my piece yesterday before the game happened. The offense has been bad for a little while. I don't know. I think too relying on home runs, Brandon, I think a lot of guys get up there trying to swing for the fences. We don't have the guys. Other Nico Horner, who, funny enough, was the best

bat last night. People have been really disappointed in Nico all season. But this series. He's the only one that really did anything offensively. Only extra base hit in the entire two games was in the ninth inning by Nico Horner hit a double that ultimately meant nothing. Not going to win many games like that. So yeah, I mean, it's a failure of a season. It's disappointing

season. I said this yesterday. I got a lot of people met. You know what I learned yesterday? A lot of young people don't, young people in general don't know that the world existed before they existed. I think we've learned that at Barclay. We've learned. I, I learn that again yesterday because I went on my soapbox talking about how I missed the old playoff format where there's one wild card

and three division winners, right? That's kind of the, I felt like that was a perfect format and my argument for it is that I love in a 162 game season, I don't think you need an expanded playoff. I think having a limited number of spots is a good reflection of what the season is, which is a marathon, and in order to be

good for 162 games, you have to, if you're that good, then you're deserving of a spot. If you're not, then you had your chance over the course of 160 years. And I feel like, I miss the divisional rivalries in modern baseball, yada, yada, yada, all that style or all that system was perfect to me. And I said that I missed it. And then I got a lot of people that were just like, hey, you fucking idiot.

And the old system, the Cubs would have made the playoffs because two teams played one game for a while. They just don't realize. That's not the old system. That's not the recently old system. That's the system from years ago in Connors' parlance. But we see these young motherfuckers around our company. We work with people that if you ask them,

what's the movie Jurassic Park about? I don't fucking know. I wasn't even born yet. I was born in 2002. I was only six, dude. I don't remember. I don't know. I don't fucking know that.

But anyway, all that is to say that the Cubs season was a failure. My fear, as a Cubs fan, is that the ownership, the front office will look at this season, Brandon, and they will say PCA had an all-time, great season. Best offense in baseball. best defense in baseball.

Almost won 90 games. One game away from winning 90. And, you know, maybe if the weather, I don't know. If Alex Bregman, we'll pin it on one excuse. If Alex Bregman doesn't get hit in the face, maybe they win 90 games. And 90 is a certain benchmark where you feel good about yourself. They're going to look at all this and say, we made the playoffs, yada, yada, yada, it wasn't that bad.

It was a bad season. It was a bad season, Brandon, in my estimation, if you're favored to win the division, and you lose it by 14 games, you lose it by 14. games, Brandon, and then you score one run in a playoff series over the course of 18 innings. I don't know how you can frame it any other way that this was a disaster. But my fear is that lessons will not be learned. The Cubs will just kind of do more of the same.

We will be favored on draft kings going into next season as the NL Central favorite. The Cubs as an organization will be like, we don't really need to win the Central. There's like, there's fucking three wildcard spots. Why do we need to win the Central? Why don't we just try to win like around 90 games again? Then the bats will go cold and that'll be that. So anyway, that's where I find myself, Brandon. I find myself.

Top three hitters for the Cubs in this series were 0 for 10 million with 9 million strikeouts. There was only one hit from the top three spots, and it was when Tyrone Taylor pinch it last night. Oh, wow. He pinched it for Michael Bush in the three spot and then got a hit, and that was it. Otherwise, Bregman, PCA, Michael Bush, zero hits in these two games. Do these? So we had a, the Orioles had a very similar experience in 2024. We played the Royals and got swept and we could only at home

and we only score one run, I believe, in the two-game series. Do you think that feels worse than losing a wild card game? Because you got humiliated twice or do you think the losing the one-game wild card is so soul-snatching that it hurts more? No, I mean, after what I just experienced, I would have preferred it one game because I knew going into, I wasn't even trying to be like a Doomsday guy going into last night. Like I generally try to stay positive and say it's baseball,

anything can happen. But you just knew what was coming. The Padres, by the way, these Padres, boy, what a club. Yeah, they're good. They are very good. And playing, and they're hot at the right time. They are so hot. They are so good.

The bullpen's insane. They're crazy, dude. They got a lot of bats. Everything's going good out there. Yeah. Yeah. Like a good. Sheets comes in to pinch it.

Just, fuck. and smashes the ball a mile Well, as the crowd is chanting Holy sheets, yeah, yeah, that was, I mean it was objectively a very cool moment. I hate to admit, but yeah, but I think I would have preferred

just have it be one game and just get it over with, especially because I'm a sleepy head today. I'm really just Dragon. Yeah, I'm dragging. And I would have preferred last night to just go to bed at a reasonable hour. I have to stay up and watch

the slow motion car wreck. Yeah. That's the worst feeling, dude. PCA losing the challenge in the first at bat, and then was it the next at bat they win a challenge? It's like, all right, you're already, that feels like you're losing already. We're risking it.

So we had a debate on Thursday, Wob, after the World Cup, that I think spilled over to hear about the manner of losing, and like, is it better to lose a heartbreaker? You know, like a last second shot, rips your heart out, or is it better? Because the point of talking about it was the U.S. World Cup game, we were just outclass, like Belgium, just kicked our ass and it was just over almost from the start and it's like okay it's it's over

it's fine i don't have to worry about it i don't have to like have the high and loan everything and i was on the side of i actually would prefer that than having it be like oh my god dude if the ball would have just if it oh my god if it just would have hit that one little square right there would have gone this oh my god we were that close to winning um but as i was going through it last night with baseball i realized uh baseball is the one sport where i feel the opposite brand it because there's not a clock and when you're stuck in that hell of knowing that like your offense is not going to do anything and you're just like held hostage. And there's no like you can't just, you can't sit down and just be like, okay, this sucks,

but in two hours it all be over. So let me just like lock in it. You don't know how long it's going to take. And you just have to sit there. And you're just like, I don't know. As the other team is going to keep pouring in runs and I just have to continue to sit here. So I think I'm, I think I'm being pulled your direction, only with baseball, Connor. Only with baseball.

Let's start. But the other sports, there's at least a clock. So you're like, just fast forward the clock. Let's get out of here. and let's be done with it. But, yeah. Last night, it's like, this game's over, what are we doing? And then Padres are like, we're hitting homers is what we're doing.

And we're bringing in Mason Miller is what we're doing. And we're going to, yeah, show his entrance on TV. And I'm like, just getting it over with. And Red Sox fans are sitting here feeling the exact same way today. Yeah. The Padres are interesting. Way worse. They kind of gambled away a lot last year, like in terms of their farm system.

But they still have impactful young players. How'd they get Mason Miller? Do they trade for him? Yeah. Was he a draft pick? Have you seen this guy pitch? I'm going to fucking come over that desk and stab you. Have you seen him pitch?

He's so good. He's a righty or lefty? Righty. And when did he come up from their farm system? Because why did they keep him down for so long? I think they pulled him up last year. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah, they had, yeah. All right. He's a prospect. Ebo, you're our baseball guy. You can't see this shit coming? Mm-hmm. I would have had Cam Schlotler on the show, by the way. Quanza Jones.

I would have said, let's have him on the show. Well, you had that up. Oh, oh, if we're just being honest, if we're just being honest, he had that opportunity to say that. Pulled the group chat. PJ pulled the group chat. Who's in that one? Who's in that group chat?

I think it might have been. Brandon, he goes not on that chat. Yeah. Brennan. That's the other chat that I'm not in. We have a chat without Ebo on it? Yeah, but is it a bobblehead? What do we have a chat?

Brennan, Brian, Brian, Brin, Breon, Ebo's not on that chat. And we didn't tell him he's not on that chat. Brandon Mark and Josh. That was the secret trat. That's just us? And me. Yeah. Tough.

You would have had Ken? Yeah, absolutely. Well, tell us, give us a guy that we should have on. Yeah. Yeah. Give us a baseball player. He said. Pete Crow Armstrong.

Okay. We should have that guy. All right. Let me write that down. Pete Crow Armstrong. Ever heard of them? Is spelled like it sounds? Pete Crow.

Exactly like it sounds. Armstrong. Yeah. Armstrong. All right. All right. Write that down and circle it. We'll do something about that.

His name is like a. a Nick and KB they used to do the puzzles where you know his would obviously be a crow probably yeah

with strong arms strong arms yeah don't know what Pete would be probably penis could be a Peter yeah yeah a penis penis bird muscle

where does he add on the short first name penis bird muscle I might be a wrestler short first name long last name oh best example of a man with the

like uh like t j hushmanzada is the answer that's he's pretty good pretty fucking good yeah you know what it's t j hushman shodd this is also not somebody i've ever given thought to but now i will the rest of the day yeah correct this is this is the rest of my motherfuckinsky i j presensky yeah oh by the way i thought yeah he saw he's on wump wump today did you fucking buried him did you bury oh my goodness is it done i don't want to get

ahead of myself and there's a lot of dominoes to fall from here you know like it's we're just now seeing the dust is still in the air brain and we got to let it settle to see how everything shakes out here I think he's done I think he's done you have ruined you I think I think

AJ Presensky is out of the business for good I think he's got to be huh yeah Mark Titus killed AJ we had him on we had him on Wob and I uh I confront him and I was I was right we played the old clip he said that the pirates

will finish with a worse record than the Mariners. And he was wrong, Brandon. And what did he say? What did that fucking fool say? He kind of got me. He pivoted to, uh, I was wearing the Ohio State sweatshirt and then he just pivoted to one of, what did he say? I was like, would you like to apologize?

And he's like, no, would you like to apologize for choking away the lead at Texas? Yeah, no, that's, you can't allow that pivot. You didn't do that. You weren't there. He said, would you like to apologize to Holly Rowe for the backlash she got? Oh, that's pretty good. Because Ohio State choked away. He just kept going on.

I was like, damn, this is good. This guy. This is a good pivot. Before you know it, I felt like I needed to apologize to Holly Roe for the... It's not to do that now. Yeah, for being slided by Texas players and coaches and then getting backlash on the internet. She interviewed Arch after the game against Tennessee, right?

They're good. Yeah, they made out, right? I need you guys. It's always when we're on a roll. We're always on a roll. I fucked up. Oh, no. What happened?

You were there. You know who. what happened. I know, but I'm doing it for the audience, Greg, we're doing a show. I fucked up, guys. But again, you got to say it to the audience. I wasn't. I wasn't here. What happened? My dumbass asked Big Cat in front of everybody if I could move to Chicago. No, you didn't. Yes, I did. No, you didn't. Your dumb ass said Big Cat, question. Yes. And then you said, that's it. That's what you said? I, my brain fruits. I told you I was going to freeze. He just said question. He's like, you in front of

everybody with cameras around. You went up and said, Big Cat, question. Yeah. At that moment when I said Big Cat, I was like, oh, I'm fucked. Greg, yesterday, I gave you some advice. What was it? You said, ask him. But not in that space.

Greg, what did I say? This is the problem with you. You don't know what I said. It was yesterday. What did I say? You just, you're correct. I said tomorrow morning, get Big Cat in his office and ask him. man to man can I move to Chicago?

And what you heard was in the lobby as he's walking through from the bathroom to wherever he's going. Probably was in a hurry, I imagine. In a hurry, just getting here after dropping his kids off of school or something. And you said, question, blank face. Yeah. How did it go? Terrible. Terrible.

So now what do you do? Is that why you're here? Because I'm freaking out and I know I can come to you two. Yeah, but you didn't. During our show. You didn't listen to Brandon's advice, so why would you listen to it now? I know. I know. I'm fucked, guys.

I think you might be. My advice, what did I tell you to do? Just move here. Yeah, don't ask him. Just keep showing up around here. That's quite the strategy. I'm not even kidding. That's how half the people here got jobs.

Like, I'm literally shaking right now. I have an idea, Greg. And this is just, hear me out. What if he, you know how you can, what is it called ghost quitting? Or what would you call it, quiet quitting? Quiet quitting, yeah. It's along the similar lines to use, it's quiet move here, but you suggest he just move all the way here and just not tell anybody, right?

I suggest he kind of moves one city at a time closer. Oh, just inch closer. And maybe St. Louis and then Moline. Carbondale is that at a time? Like a four-year process? Like four or five years, you just a little bit. Can we get a mask? Greg, are you in Kansas City?

No, actually I live in Rockford right now, Rockford, Illinois. I think slowly you just get closer. Yeah. Thoughts? Sure. What did, here's my problem. Yeah, we'll start your Kansas City. Yeah.

Columbia, I think Columbia would be really good. Yeah. St. Charles? No. What do you mean? No. No, actually, yeah, I'd rather do that than St. Louis. Okay.

Okay. Effingham. Edwardsville, maybe. Effingham's beautiful this time of year. You'd love it. Oh, and obviously Springfield. Springfield, yeah. Champagne?

No, I can't live there. It's Illinois. I hate Illinois. What was Springfield? Not Illinois? No, University of Illinois. Oh, I see. Yeah.

Why do you hate the University of Illinois? They're a rival. And what? Kansas City of the rival. Missouri? Yeah, look it up. Missouri and Illinois are rival? Yes, we have a game every year called bragging rights for basketball and we're starting

the rivalry up again next year in football. He's not wrong, but also Kansas is your rival. That's not the point. Okay. The point is, you fucked up. Big time. But here's the thing, Greg, and this is a conundrum for a lot of people here at Barstall Sports. A lot of people are here because they fuck up so much.

Yeah. And a lot of people are valuable because of their fuck-ups. Yeah. You might be, no, you are a fuck-up guy. You fucking up is the best thing that you could have done. Really? Yeah, because I think Big Cat's going to be like, we need more of that in this office. Sure.

We got to have Greg around to fuck up. Okay. Yeah. So. Thanks, guys. I needed this. So what's your, what's your next move, you think? I think, I'm moving. I think Titus's basement for a month is the play. I think you move in with Titus.

You live there for a month. Can you change a dirty diaper? If it, if that's the case, yeah. Can you change my baby's diaper too? I'll have to, I'll have to, look it up. So you, could you change my baby? I mean, so you, would you want to do you change my baby's diaper or just mine? Uh, yes.

Okay. All right. Yeah, I'd want you to. Yeah, we need all the help we can get. Okay. Yeah. Greg, I'm not even kidding. I think that's what you do is you just move here.

Here or you're like, Jesus. Well, I didn't know if we were still going with, like, I live in Columbia. Jesus. Greg, move to Chicago. Do your show from your apartment. Okay. But once every couple weeks, like, pop into the office. Just be here.

And then you're here. And then everyone's like, what are you here for? And you're like, we're doing a thing on poor decisions. Right? And then a few more weeks go by Now you're here like twice You have like a two day stent And then a few more

You know And then just keep doing that And just like slowly appear more and more often Greg we got guys in production That I ask almost every day What are you doing here And they've moved here They've lived here for six months

You understand? Yeah That's a hard no No I understand Actually you know what you should do You should just come on the yak And hash it out with Big Hat I know we were going to

He loves a strong person. I know, I know, I know. You got to grab this by the throat. I know, but. And don't call him Big Cat. Call him Danny Boy. Yeah. What, what, what's going on, Greg?

What's the problem? Me and Smokes are leaving at two for Kansas City. Smokes can't change his flight. Wait. You're flying? Yeah. Your flight's at two. Yeah.

Okay. Are you asking them for money? No, no, no, no. Smokes is going in Kansas City? Yeah, we're going to Kansas City. Do you change your flight? I think so. Okay, so why do you, let smokes fly?

Just be in Kansas City for two hours? What? Three hours, four hours? I think he's going to be there for a couple of days. He'll be fine, won't he? See, he's an adult that you can handle, right? He will have had sex four times by the time you get there. Yeah.

Okay. All right? I think you change your flight. That's bold. I think you change your flight. Why do you think it's bold? And I think you come on the yak. If you change your flight to confront Big Cat on the yak and tell him that you're moving here?

And I think you walk in and you're just direct and you're kind. You don't like, it's not a fight. You just walk in on the yak set as we're doing the show and we're talking about like, what's your favorite? I'm not crashing the yak. What's your favorite type of crack or whatever? We're just riffing on that. And you walk in and you sit down and you're like, listen, we're going to figure this out right now. Okay.

You're not going to crash a yak. I can't crash the yak. I'll get Dan. here right now. Oh no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You'll me, you'll go find him. You can go find him, bro. My heartbeat just went to 140. Uh, we'll hash this out right now. We got it. We got it. Greg, you relax. I can't relax. Speaking of a big cat, just hang on, hang on right there. Hang on right there, Greg. Speaking of big cat, football is back. You've got the games. Now you just need to figure out what you're eating. That's why you order parted my cheese steak. Uh, we've got a variety of mouthwatering cheese steaks, chicken tenders, loaded fries, desserts, and all the good stuff you want on Game Day delivered. quickly straight to your door. Yeah, but we got something for the show.

We wanted you to come in here. If you're busy, it's all good. All right, thanks. He's not busy? So turn on the games, crack open whatever you're drinking and let pardon my cheese steak handle the food. This season, make game day easy. Order part of my cheese steak on pardon my cheesesteak.

I know this is huge. This will tell us her to. Oh, no. No? No. No. I mean, what we're, he's, he's. Greg, Greg.

We were trying to tell him to, to, Greg, do it. Go. What's up, uh, what's up, Brandon? Hey, Titus. Hey, Greg. Hey. TJ. Hey, Joe.

Hey, Joe. What's up? My little baby back bitch. How you doing? How you doing, bitch? Don't do the kiss. Yeah. Daddy's here.

Mm-hmm. I own Connor. So bad. Well, no one's ever owned. I can't respect. is a man. I'm now best friends with Cody. Also, I told Cody he's getting fired if he doesn't order the chicken parm. So he's ordering the chicken park. He's got ordered it. So what happened to us? We didn't want to do this. We were doing a show. Greg crashed our show to ask our advice on what to do

with you. Another bad timing thing. Correct. He just crashed our show. I froze. You didn't freeze. You walked in here. That's the opposite of freezing. And then you said, what do I do? I froze the first time. And we're trying to talk you into doing the second time. Ask him, Greg. Greg. No, don't ask me right now. It was bad. I needed like a buffer. It was so, so bad. It was so, so bad. He just came up to me and he said question. I know. I thought that I said, what? We're trying to make it right. Greg, make it right. And he said, you know the question? I said, what are you talking about, Greg? Craig, make it right. And it was in the middle of like 100 people and I was in the middle doing talking to Max. He's walking through

busy. Like, that's not a good place to corner him. Now you have his attention. Go. I got to go. I got to go. God damn it. Greg. He literally had the moment. If he had asked it right away, I would have maybe answered. Use your timeout. Time out. 30, 30. I want 30.

He's gone, guys. I want 30. No, I want 30. I want 30. Now I'm going to the free throw line because you didn't have any timeout. Ask him now, Greg. Can I move to Chicago? Fuck, Greg.

What was that? I froze again. You're always going to freeze. Yeah, I'm a failure. What have I done? Nothing. What other than fuck? up.

Yeah, but that's the content. That's good. Rince he fucks up. He's a star. Greg, you got to say something, though. We gave it to you on a silver platter.

But he said, don't ask. But that's why you ask is because he said don't ask. That's the point. Is you do ask, and then he gets a little

miffed by it, and then you have a little tug of war, and he gets some shots in, and then you get some shots in and you're just, you're sparring, you know, and you're just kind of going back and forth. You went at Connor,

you had a chance to, his attention. was elsewhere. You could have just, I don't want to stop. I don't want to interrupt you, Big Cat, but focus on me right now. Do you want to roleplay with Connor? Connor, get back over there. You're Big Cat now. You could be Big Cat. Now, you have to pretend in this scenario that you won the Wisconsin Penn State game and then you won the Eagles Bears game. This time had your hat on backwards. Yeah. All right, what's up guys? What's up, Big Cat? Hey, Brandon. Hey, Mark. Hey, Greg. Hey, Ebo. Hey, Connor, you fucking pussy ass bitch. Uh, hey, T. T. Hey, T. Hey, T. Hey, T. What's up, Greg. Uh, what's up, Greg. What's up, Greg? What's up, Greg? Hey, Big Cat, I know I fucked up, but...

Oh, we're not... No, we're not doing this. We're not doing this. Are we good here? No, but... Can I get at it? All right, yeah, thanks. No, wait, I would...

Greg, ask him. Ask him. Can I move to Chicago? Wow, you really asked him. You were really direct right there, and I think you really had some gusto with what you said. You know what? I'm going to think about it.

And I'll give you a call later tonight. Insult him, Greg. Insultive. Too slow! Oh! Welcome to the motherfucking Thunderdome. Welcome to the motherfucking thunderdome, Greg. Big leagues.

Oh, my God. Get your ass out of here. Oh, fuck. Get the fuck out of here. Get out of here. Get out of it. Take a hike. Oh, shut the door behind.

They said, you can have this helmet, but also please wear. jersey on Thursday. And I said yes. But I was worried when I got it out of the box and I looked at it and said XL that it might be a little small, might not fit. Yeah. But thankfully

it fits perfectly. Thank God. I was worried there for a minute. But yeah, it's just it fits great. So you're, you wearing pads? Are you wearing pets? Is that a, is that a real guy? Or did they

know how to customize that? The unfortunate reality is, believe they did customize it to my name. I believe they think I'm 78 years old. 78. Yeah. It's a weird number. So,

I, the PAC 12 logo being on the jersey. Yeah. That makes me smile. That makes me happy. You like that. Yeah, I like.

I didn't know you were like that on Utah State Jersey, but you do like it. No, I'm speaking of the PAC 12, surviving, surviving, just knowing that the PAC 12 is still exist. And Utah State's a good program,

you know? Very good program. And the PAC 12 has some decent programs. Yeah. And that makes me happy. Yeah. Okay. I like that.

I like that. I like that. 12 because it died there for a second. A quick death. Now it's back. What do you got? I am wearing, what does that say? That says the.

Graneros, Grenieros. Graniero de Wisconsin. Nice. Who's on the back? Javier Made. I don't know. I just made up that name. It could just be made.

Could be Jesus made. Is that Jesus made? Jesus made. Jesus made? Jesus made is the number one prospect in baseball. Is that so? Yeah. I didn't know that.

Jesus Made? This is Jesus made? Well, we're all Jesus. Oh, well, then definitely is Jesus made. And he plays for the Vruers. So it is Made? It is Hesu's Made. Yeah.

Wow. I was just fucking around and I almost, I was almost right. Yeah. This is a Jesus made, uh, whatever. Bosco gave this to me yesterday. Bosco did. Yeah, Bosco, I don't know how he had it or why he had it, but he walked in the, to our studio and was like, got this for you.

And I was like, like, thanks, Bosco. It's a bold choice. Timber Rattlers hit me up on the way back from camp. They're family. Oh, yeah, they're all. We all got some timber rangers. Yeah, we got to get some. We should maybe mostly sports night at the park or something.

Oh, my God. Mostly sports night. Now we're talking. How do we got? We're right here at the beginning of baseball season. Let's, let's fire that up. Where's the Timber Ritlers? Appleton, Wisconsin.

Appleton. Which I believe is an hour. 10 minutes from Brandon Tess. No, I think that's north of Milwaukee. Is that on the lake? That's on the lake north of Milwaukee. Is that on that lake up there? Is that Winnebago?

That's when you're talking about Winnebago. Is that on Lake Winnebago? Where is Appleton? I don't know where Appleton is. I'm going to say Appleton's on Lake. Yeah, okay. So it is north of Millville. Close, yeah.

Wait, that is, no, it's, I don't know where that is. You're going in too far. Yeah. The north of Madison? East. Okay, it's south of Green Bay. A little north of Oshkosh.

Yeah. So three-hour drive. Yeah, we could do mostly sports night there. Oh, yeah. I think we would have. I do a show from, I don't know that I've respected Lake Winnebago as much as I show. Big old lake.

Big old lake. And there's their ballpark. Oh, that's a nice, that's a nice ball yard. Scroll in a little more. That's a nice ball yard. Right field, behind the right field wall. Little seats? Is that, is that, like, a little river or no, that's a shadow.

That's a shadow. Rubbery. I see. That's a swamp. You wanted to pick some bag in practice. I want to put one in the water. I want to put one in the water. I want to get on a kayak in that little creek.

Mm-hmm. Try to catch a dangers. Nice sunny day. here for the old. That'd be a great series. Collect the infinity stones of home runs. Neuroscience group field is probably one of the better minor league parks too. And it is octuro science.

Right now, so what better time to go up there. They do. Desperately trying to get in that ballpark. Are there some water? They do minor league championships, right? Of course they do. Yeah, they do individual league championships. They don't do it the way they used to, right?

Didn't it used to be if you were in the first half, second half? They don't do it like that? I'm pretty sure you just, when you're, you play the, international league plays the, what's the West Coast one? Pacific Coast League. Coast League, yeah. Oh, that's a good looking ballpark. Reading Phillies one.

That's a solid ballpark. That's a dugout. That's a dugout. That's a dugout. That's a dugout. No question about it. Let me ask you the question, this question. A lot of minor league parks, maybe in AAA are just, they're big,

they're almost major league parks. They're really nice parks these days. Do you like the signs, the local business signs? I do. I do. Yeah, I do. like that a lot. What level is it? Are they? They're double A. Double A. Okay. Yeah, I like that a lot.

Double A is still grimy minor league baseball, whereas AAA can be. AAA is usually in like a tier Nashville or Indianapolis. Speaking of the signs in the ballpark, Brandon, uh-huh. Should we, if we want mostly sports nights, should we just go ahead and buy some ad space? In this one or are moderate league parks around the country? I don't know. I don't know how much it costs. Yeah, like, like high A. What is it? a high A outfield wall.

Can we get a piece of the... I'm going to say for a season of your sign on a high A outfield wall that's going to cost $1,500. $1,500? Yeah, I don't think it's going to be too much. I think we do that. I think we should do that. We should do it. We should shoot high. I want to be on... We should go for like a hit here type of sign, like a home run.

Yeah. I want to be on... You think the Timber Rathers would hit it here and it's Connor Griffin's face. Yes. I have a three-prong marketing approach for this show. Number one, outfield walls and minor league ballparks. Sure. Number two. place mats at diners. And number three, the divider in the grocery store thing.

Yes. The stick. The stick that says these are not my items. These are the guy in front of me. And what about the gas station screens we're already on? Gas station screens. Yeah. Yeah.

We already figured that. I do want a billboard somewhere in this country. And I want it to be in a random rural place. Yeah. That has to be earned by our fans to go forward. find it. Like, like, I'm not saying West Point Mississippi, so I'm saying like, if we had a billboard outside of Topeka, Kansas, but didn't tell. Why don't, uh, Talequah, I can't see that. Talaquah, Oklahoma? I don't know how you say it.

I don't know how you say it either. Talequah. But that's not, that's almost not random. It's not random enough. You want, I'm like just spend the horses. 50 states spend the horses, then you get a, you, you, you get a state, then you spend the horses for cities. That's how random I want to go. But we can't do it. Because then people will know it's coming. That's true. How much is a billboard on like an interstate? That's expensive.

You have to dabble an injury law to get that. Or you have to be the wheat sore on the side of state lines that's... You have to be Alexander Schoonerah. Yeah. Vermont doesn't do billboards. Did you know that? I didn't know that. I think it's Vermont.

One of those New England states. How many? It's Vermont. There's no billboards. But nobody's driving through Vermont to get in there, right? The only people that were... drive through Vermont or coming from Maine to go down or coming from down to go to Maine, correct?

Or actually, you don't have to do. You don't have to go through Vermont. No. So nobody's driving through Vermont. Yeah. Well, it might be why they don't need billboards. But I think it's right. Vermont, Maine also, and then Hawaii and Alaska.

Oh, wow. How about that? Four states, no billboards. Well, I mean, Hawaii and Alaska make a lot of sense because. Yeah. No interstates because you can't. Yeah, you can't drive to Hawaii. You could drive to Alaska.

Yeah. Actually. Then you have to drive through Canada, which gross. Yeah, no one wants to do that. Although that part of Canada has got to be the most stunning piece of earth we have. Dude, all of Canada everywhere I've been, basically, except Winnipeg. Winnipeg stunk. Winnipeg was bad, but Canada's pretty beautiful.

I like Canada a lot. You know what else I like a lot? Touchdowns are taking center stage at drafting sportsbook.

We are building our Thursday night parlay. We were one play away last week. One play away. Jordan Love. Jordan Love just would not use his legs.

He was one play away both times or a couple times. Lieutenant Dan out there just would not. That's good. Just had no legs. No legs at all. But that's all right. We move on. We move forward tonight.

We have Steelers. Browns. The Browns are one of the surprises of the NFL, I would say. Yep, two and one. Many people thought they'd be the worst team in the league. And so far, they are, they are not that. The Steelers will be without Joey Porter Jr.

They just traded to the Cowboys. But they're going to be without him anyway. Steelers keep trading guys to the Cowboys. What do we got? What do we want to throw up there? Can I say something? Everyone's walking around like this is going to be the worst game ever played just because of the two names on it.

I'm feeling a little contrary, and I feel like there could be some points. In the Century. Well, I mean, the Browns have had some low-scoring. games, but they've had segments of those games where their offense moves the ball very easily. And I think they're going to put together. Now, the Steelers have been all over the mat. They had the, where they look like the worst offense in football, then they look like one of the best. You want to take the over?

Yeah, I also like the, I like two young receivers on both teams. I think Roman Wilson 20 plus receiving yards is good. I also like Casey Concepcion. I think he's just waiting to break out. So both, his, his total's 40 plus. I don't think Juckins has scored a touchdown yet. So I would think, through three, what is it? Is this, their own two or O and three right now?

This is this third week? Is the fourth week they're going into right now? Yeah, 40 plus. He doesn't have one yet. Yeah, so I like, I think I like Judkins touchdown. You know, for these barlays, you've got to have one or two that are just obvious that you just got to do. So I'm going to throw Judkins touchdown in there. I can't quit it.

staring at it right now and I want to do it again. Which quarterback you? I'm doing Aaron Rogers 2 plus rush. It just takes one, Brandon. Well, that one. Aaron Rogers, because sacks don't count as rushing yards. So you can take as many sacks as he wants. Just one time. All it takes one time. One time.

Just kind of roll out and see nobody there. And that one, I mean, last week we did Jordan Love was like nine or nine or ten or something like that. This one is truly just one rush. That's all it takes. It takes a sneak. Just one sneak. Or maybe just two Just get to the line and be like, oh my God, I have a ton of space right here. It's third and three, and there's no one.

Obviously, I'm going to run this. I'm just going to stick it out real quick and pick up the three yards. Throw that on there. What else we got? Final, give us another one. Jalen Warren had a really good game last week. I like going over rushing and receiving yards. I think it's 94 and a half.

Combine those. Also, do we want to throw in? Like, there's going to be. Is Breyer-mooth healthy? I think so. I feel like he's a prime time touchdowns guy. I would like that. I was going to say one of the quarterbacks to throw a pick,

whichever one we think is more likely. Deshawn? 94.5. Do we go to Sean or a Raji pick? Why not both? Both quarterbacks throw in there. The horses are going to decide. Put them both up there.

Let the horses decide which one is going to throw a pick. Okay. I like that. And then if we get them both, we're just rooting for defenses. And then... Wait, we could be in for a dude. I think that's it.

I think that's, uh, Roman Wilson, 20 plus for... You could not be serious, T.J. There's no way. There's no way you keep doing this. Cleared it again. Oh. Holy fucking. Oh.

That was an angry banging of the table right there, T. Because I didn't do anything. Did you push the left arrow, T.J. To try and go left. Yeah, he did some. Stop trying to go left. Then you did do something. Stop trying to go left.

Oh, my God. That doesn't make sense. All right. It was, who's your receiver? Roman Wilson 20 plus. Concepcion 40 plus. This is a disaster. Concepcion.

Catastrophe. Both quarterback. Juckins TD. Control Z doesn't do anything. Stop saying that. Watson. Watson, I, and T. Rogers, I.N.T. Mm.

Two plus. Who was your player, Connor? Jalen Warren over rushing, receiving, 94 and a half. Yeah. You got to get. Rogers rushing. Have to. And then Jalen Ward.

Do not go left. T.J., if you push the left arrow, so help me God. TJ, I'll cut you. 94.5. That seems like a lot in this game. All right. Connor? Take it away.

And a one-a. And a two-a. And a three-a. Hawkewana. You got it. Harka. Emmer off. Frisky, frisky race right here.

I really like the options we got. Looks like Roman Wilson 20 plus receivers. It's just some interesting dynamics to this, that it could be potentially very intriguing later on. A lot of high and T's in the rushing yards. Half the way through. Looks like rushing receiving yards for Jim LaMorris. Come on, Rogers.

Rogers' rushing yards. It looks like. Rogers rushing yards. Over two and a half, taking a lead as well. but Roman Wilson 20 plus receiving up there in the front. It looks like it's going to be Raji in there. I think. Roger's in there. No.

Yeah. Two rush yards. I don't know. Mine got in. Roman Wilson 20 plus. Rogers over two and a half rushing yards. Warren over rushing and receiving and then Concepcion with 40 plus receiving yards. That's a winner.

How is that not a winner? Those are our top four. Are we just doing three? It's going to come down to. We're doing four. It's going to come down to Rogers rushing again. Yeah. But he's doing it.

It takes... How many rushing yards does he have this year? He don't even have to rush. just has to fall over. Like, take the snap and then just fall over forward. That's, you're basically, you just did it right there. Gambling problem. Call 1-800 gambler or 1-800-My-Reset.

What do we have to do, Connor? I'm just wearing the Chase Utley World Series 2008, Jersey. Chase Utley, the man. I was wearing it to watch the game yesterday. Flying Hawaiian. Flying Hawaiian. Love that guy. Shout out, Jane Victorino, by the way.

For what? Who's he? He's a stoolie. We watch this. He's just a fan? I think he's a coconut. That too. Oh.

What was that noise? I just realized I missed the horses. You did miss the horses. Ebo? Yeah, this is Jeremy Chin. I'll give you $1 if you can guess how much of this jersey cost retail. $1. I believe you got that for $999.

I did. What is the original MSRP? $1.29. More. $149.99. More. $179. $175.0.

But as soon as they leave the team, you can get it for $8. Yes. This is a really nice jersey, by the way. Is it? The stitching of it. I don't know if people could see it on a camera. It's a fully stitched. Oh, it is.

They didn't, yeah. Numbers are still ironed on, which is crazy. Yeah. But compared to the regular. Big stitching. The logo looks stitched. It's like they kind of just stitched. Ironed on and then.

Like, this patch is ironed on. Blutman, you're on the show. What jersey did you wear? I got my airport jersey on. That's what you wear to the airport. Are you all right to be in the city? I don't know at airport we're at O'Hare. The airport.

We're at the airport. Not midway. Not midway. We're at the airport. What's his name? TJ. I got the Cody Belly on. He had a home run last night.

Do you guys see that? Grand Slam. Some of you copped out a little bit. Me and Mark are exploring the wide world of jerseys, and you guys are just wearing your team. Well, this is a home-by-3 jersey. And you put the chin. You have the name on the back, TJ.

Yeah. One of our nice sponsors sent it to us. Bellinger 35. Yeah. You're not a Yankee until you get your name on the back of the jersey. That's what I've always said. Mr. Late September.

That's what they call, Cody Bellinger. Yanktonber Fest. Mr. Septanky. Mr. Septanky himself. Yanktober. All right. College football this weekend. You boys are flying out.

you will not be here tomorrow, so I want to talk to you about this slate before you go. Yeah. Obviously, Florida, Missouri and Ohio State, Iowa, and Alabama, Mississippi State, those are the big matchups. Brandon, I'm going to ask you this again, because last week I felt like the heavy hitter matchups were all the talk, and then there's some results like Wisconsin beating Penn State and others that ended up being a huge deal. Is there any game that stands out to you as like, I know this isn't two-ranked team? teams. I know that everyone will be watching maybe Iowa versus Ohio State, but this team right here, you should keep an eye on because they might be on upset alert, even though they're playing an unranked team and most people probably aren't even paying attention to it. Is there any game that jumps out to you that maybe the rest of the world isn't locked in on?

There's one that's just tickling my titties a little bit. One that shouldn't be an upset alert, one that shouldn't, you know, this is a team we've had ample opportunity to give up on. and it's a team that we've had ample opportunity to say they're the best thing ever. But if you're asking me what could be an absurd upset that would upset the Apple Cart this weekend and what would be like we're not expecting it, but oh my God, wait a minute, this is a tie game in the fourth quarter. I think it's Miami at home. Miami has what, spent four weeks just playing the drags of college football and nothing. And not to say Clemson's much higher than that.

but if you if you asked me to think of a team who is ranked who could find themselves in deep water unexpectedly. Yeah. And make the entire college football war ago, what? That's the one. Yeah. Don't think it's going to happen, but that one just smells a little bit. Shoot me straight.

Is Clemson bad or they just not the standard that Davo has had set? Are they like actually a bad team or are they just bad for what Clemson? Their defense after the LSU, and even in the LSU game, they threw what, pick six and had a lot of turnovers, benched quarterback. Their defense has played fairly well the past three weeks. Obviously, it's not LSU, but they didn't give up one offensive touch end last week to Cal, just a 35-yard fumble recovery. Tate Reynolds might be really, really bad.

He's also a freshman starting a quarterback. So Clemson might find their footing as season goes, but defensively, they will give team fits throughout the year, and they'll be good enough to probably get to eight, nine wins. But, yeah, like, yeah, because they're not in the national, title picture, it feels like the bottom has completely fallen off. It's just not the reality, right? But it's also so ugly a watch. Yeah, they're not bottom of the

ACC bad, but they have joined the rest of the hobos in the middle of the ACC, which you just never thought they would do that. That's one that would stick out to me. Texas Tech finding themselves in deep water against Colorado wouldn't be the most shocking thing because Texas Tech seems like they are

a team that plays down a little bit Colorado quarterback change, right? Jack Wilson's brother. Yeah. So I don't think Colorado's very good, but I don't know how good Texas Tech is, and that's a road trip. So there are games like that.

I'm trying to think. Georgia Vanderbilt's nothing. What about, I'm going to throw this out there. Yeah. Just for the sake of conversation. Sure. We have not talked about the defending national champion Indiana Hoosiers much on this show.

I don't know how much you talk about them on the Brano Walker College Football Show. It always is on past my bedtime, so I don't. Sure, sure. And there's no way to watch it after the fact. Yeah, you could just watch it on YouTube. I know your little girl used to be a big fan of it during the summer. Yeah, during summer.

The hours. Yeah, but now it's. Right. Yeah. It's on every Monday and Thursday at 6 p.m. Central time. Except for. They did not look particularly great against Northwestern. No.

Now I'm not here to say that Ruckers is going to beat Indiana, but. Can you imagine? Wouldn't it be something? the Rutgers is. I think he needs one. Indiana games bear watching right now. Yeah. You need to just see, all right. Like I guess my, that would be the point I would make is like I feel like now's the time we're supposed to start paying attention to the. Yeah. Their schedule's been terrible, Brandon, but, you know, I said this to you not too long ago. How many college football seasons can you remember where the defending national champion you just simply didn't talk about? You didn't really watch their games in the first few weeks. And that seems to be where the public is at with Indiana. Well, Indiana did that to themselves, though. They did. did do that to themselves. But at some point, we as a football viewing public have to lock it on Indiana.

And I think struggling a little bit with Northwestern got my attention where I'm like, all right, well, now we got to, we should pay attention to Indiana and kind of see what this team is made of and all of that. I think it's more about next week when they go to Nebraska thing. Is that next thing? Nebraska, if they win this week against Maryland, will be 5 and 0. And, you know, it'll be crazy over there. But if they go to Rutgers and win by 7 to 10 points, I think the consumer.

really have to really have to be there. Now, there's also a possibility in Northwesterns really, really fucking good. Yeah. Connor's going to find out tomorrow. And we find that out tomorrow night. That's the biggest must win of your life. Yeah.

Especially the Flyers last night. Oh, Flyers. Oh, my God. Did you see that? I was watching. I was like, brood. I felt bad. I felt bad.

Oh, oh, no. Oh, Lord. Yeah, it was really. What happened last night? The Flyers lost seven nothing. Oh, Pittsburgh Penguins. Season. Playoff rematch.

Yeah. And it was 7-0 after like a minute and a half of hockey It was immediately 7-0 Which I've never even seen Yeah I think when you're looking at Indiana mock A good way

Oh shoot Hello Casey I want to say good luck on Saturday Oh why are you saying Why did you say it like that? Oh no I want you to be happy Thank you

She's looking down on me She doesn't think we can win at all Yeah I do too I picked you to win Okay I just want you to be happy Thank you. Appreciate that.

Thank you. I'm going to have a blast. Handshake. Interesting. What's she doing? I don't know. She popped in last year, too. She's playing like the reverse inner card where you've been shitting all over Texas A&S.

Yeah, she's anti-shitting on me. You know what? Kill them with kindness. Your guys are going to win, aren't you? Kill them with kindness. You guys are going to go kill them. I actually, I don't know if it's the stupid part of my brain turning on, but I'm like, they could win.

Who is to be state? Yeah. We could win, yeah. Yeah, yeah, for sure. They will win, I think. I'm leaning Will. William does think they will win. They're going to win.

I have seen this Alabama movie many times in my life, and the script never really changed. When in what's the last time in your... Have you beat Alabama in your adult life? Yes. We had a weird stress in the late 90s. We beat in four out of five years. But the last time we beat in was 2007. What?

You were an adult in the 90s? Come on, man. Oh, that's so mean. The first time I saw us, well, first of all, okay, all right, let's just go back through this. 1980, we beat them when they were number one. We beat him six to three. I was a year and a half whole. So that one doesn't count.

Crazy. We didn't beat him again in my life until 1996. I was 17 and I was dating a beautiful young lady with just. Easy now. Well, I was, Brandon. I was 17. Easy now. See how this look.

I was also 17 year old Brandon. I was also. Easy now. Mark. easy now Brandon they were easy okay so so

17 we beat him in 96 then we hold on let me get it then we beat him in 97 and then we beat him in 98 wow they beat us in 99

and we beat him in 2000 beat him in 2006 okay and beat him in Sabin's first year 2007 you haven't won since 2007 and have played them we didn't play them last year

but we play them most every year we played them like over 120 times let me ask you us how many times since 2007 have you had Camario Taylor and Fluff Bofwell? Zero. Zero. Now, we did have Dak Prescott and Josh Robinson one year, and we lost.

How many times since 2007 have you had Liam Blutman and Cody Ferdinand in the house? Zero. What are you getting for dinner tomorrow? You thought about it? Probably chicken parham. You are getting chicken barn. A little chickie, chicky, chicky parm, parm. You can't get chicken parm too.

I thought you were getting catfish with me. We'll see what I get one. How do you feel, as we're talking about dining etiquette yesterday, How do you feel about ordering the same thing as someone else at the table? Some people say you don't do that. Why? I like to have a variety of food on the table. Some people are like, if you order the chicken parm and now it's my turn to order and I want

the chicken parm, I got to pivot. I got to do something else. I'm like that. I'm like, you can't be like, I want the same thing that guy's getting it. How many people are at the table? Four. There's to be four different plates. Now, steaks are acceptable.

Steaks, I do feel like. Everybody can get a steak. Whatever cut of steak. But if somebody goes, if you. get the, you know, the chicken parms a great one. If you get the chicken parm, I can't, chicken parms off the board. Yeah. I do sort of feel like it's that way. Yeah. That's how I view it. Especially if I'm with my wife or kids, I'm like, all right, well, if you're going to order that, I'm going to order this. And then you're obviously going to give me a bite of that.

Yeah. Although my wife's a big, I'm not, I've been married 20 years and I'm not good at sharing the food. Yeah. My wife is good. Do you want a bite of this? I said, no, I order this. Yeah. I don't want to buy to that. I order this. So, so, but she, you know, she wants to share everybody she wants to share yeah yeah ordering food is like a draft now Liam I got to ask you a question kind of is man think of it yeah that's a it's a dinner draft you never thought we should do that more I'm just giving you a heads up a lot of people think that way well hopefully I could get my guy um Liam are you willing to eat gas station chicken gizzards we tell me what the gizzard is again tell the audience you'd be better off if I didn't yeah I figured I the chicken on the

stick I was intrigued by that's cool Gizzards are interesting. I'll try one sure why. You'll try a chicken gizzard? Yep, we'll do it. That's the thing. They talked about Liam not being a try stuff guy. I think Liam does eat a lot. He just has particular ordering habits. People don't understand. I'm a selective eater. I'm not picky. I hate beans. I hate whipped cream. I hate. What's other stuff I don't like? Why are you asking T. He'd be TJ and I go dinner. All right. Beans. Let me do this. Cream.

The Bowman college cards are out, right? Yes.

Rain's good. Brave the weather. Rain will help Mississippi State win. Won't help you, though. Why? Well, we're covered. I don't care about it. We're going to be sitting in a cover.

You get a few rain drops on you? You're going to whine about it? I love that, Blumman. It's weather. I'm so excited for her to watch you guys going on this week. I like rain. Do you? Oh.

I like sitting on a porch and watching it rain. Brennan. Driving back from North Dakota. That's a life is pretty good. No, no, no, no. Time out. Driving in the rain sucks. He loves it because he's not the one driving.

He'll be sitting in the passenger seat, just taking it all in. Now, if it's raining out at home, I'll go sit there. I'm white knuckleing the fucking steering wheel. Driving in the rain fucking sucks. Yeah, I never drove in the rain. You're doing a Luke Bryan song talking about how much you love rain? No. It's like the rain, dude.

Yep. Fish. Nine. Whatever it is. 18. You're thinking of JJ McCroth. Which, by the way, is he, what's his timeline? Do we need to monitor him? He's practicing. I saw the footage of him practicing.

Well, he played. That video sent people into a fucking tizzy. What did he do? He threw the ball. Did he actually hit a receiver or do you throw it like he always throws it? Brandon, I know you're trying to do your thing. You have no idea. He just threw it.

Oh, I'll always saw. This is the whole video. Oh, yeah, good video. This video has like 50 million views on Twitter. And it's all just, it's either people being like, I fucking hate this guy or, oh, my God, we got Peyton Manning. He's a lightning rod. I got to say, the Giants got to bring back that red alternate jersey that they used to have in the Eli Manning days. They also have to bring back the great pants full time.

I don't know why they do white now. What were you going to say to Jay? I was going to ask a baseball question. What do you guys feel about the champagne celebrations after every instant? Like, there's another Murakami clip of celebrating again. But they just celebrated two days ago. Yesterday hungover. Somebody said?

Yeah, yesterday hungover. I'm Japanese. He's drunk today. What do you, where do you guys feel on? Is this like a boomer thing? thing for me to feel weird about that? I think it's a natural instinct to say, it's a natural instinct to question it when you see it. It's a natural, I think everybody, when you see a wild card, especially like if this is your second

and like a few, which for the White Sox it is, right? Like they did one when they clinched the playoffs and now they're doing one again. It was three days ago. I think it is your natural instinct. And then I think it's a matter of whether you talk yourself into it not being a problem Or if you just like stay there. And I've talked myself into it not being a problem. But my natural instinct is like, what are we doing? But then I talk myself into like it's a long season. They play 162 games. You got to do something to like, yeah, celebrate each step.

Also they went on the road. Yeah. And for the whites. In context might matter. I do think I would. I do think it would be really fucking cool if there's a team that like won and didn't. do it. That would be cool. That would hit. Like if the Dodgers, yeah, the Dodgers win their divisional series and they're like, nah, dude, we got bigger goals. That would be cool. But the White Sox. It's all a bunch

of young dudes for the most part, right? And the franchise hasn't won a playoff series since 2005. Of course they're going to champagne whenever you can. Let them have fun. But it is, and it feels it's unique to baseball, right? Like this doesn't happen in other

sports. No, you don't want to playoff game and celebrate like this. No. You don't want to play a off series in NBA and do this. Unless you're Wimby. Then you start crying on the court. I say pay the players. And lose your mind in Oklahoma City because you think you just won the championship,

but not so fast, Wimby. Would the White Sox become the first MLB team to win the World Series while being celibate? Who? Just because the Pope was for him? No, they were saying celibate for Sean.

For Sean Burke. For Sean Burke. He was one of their. Because he doesn't have anybody. Yeah. He basically said, yeah. I don't have family. Don't have kids.

This is all I got. So they were on the field saying Salavit for Sean. But then he got, and their players were tweaking Selvitt. Then he got so many DMs from girls in Chicago, right? Yeah. Probably. Yeah.

Did you see the White Sox pregame dugout routine? Can't say that I did. Mm-hmm. Whoa. How long does it go? I do. I think the White Sox. It's not finished?

What the, they might have it. Like, They got something on this team. What they have is like they're too, they're too dumb to know that they're not supposed to win. Yeah. You know?

They have crazy. That's working in their favor. I think this is a group of guys that doesn't realize like the Astros are, when the Astros play the White Sox in a, in a playoff series, like they can't feel the moment. They're supposed to win. Yeah.

They don't feel the pressure. They don't feel the. Interesting. Yeah, they're just like too stupid to understand how this is supposed to go. So pressure doesn't get to them. They're like the. idiot Red Sox, right? Yeah, they're the idiot.

Red Sox were down 3-0. Yes. Yes. That's how they are. They got crazy vibes on that, too. That's so funny. I mean, like, this is after a wild card series, you're doing a slip and slide in the, I don't know.

But that's awesome, right? Yeah, yeah, that's. Having fun. Yeah. This is a Maliceck take. Malicek would hate that. Malicek hates the playoff series. And that's how you know that you're on the wrong side.

Yeah. If you can say it's a maliceck time. All right, pull up the grid. I haven't heard from him at all. Anybody got any ideas on how to approach the grid? I threw out the blurt. We learned quickly. That's not the move.

Disaster. Just trying to shake things up. Around the room. One at a time. No, no, no. What if we had a draft? You draft your square. You can't do that.

We're trying. We're spitball in here. Yeah. I think our stratat. Like, then Mark was drag on. Yeah. What would I do? What would I do?

What if we cheat? What if we cheat? Now that's an idea. Now we're talking, Ebo. That's a good idea. All right, pull it up. Let's just look at it. Why don't we just yell at each other as we, yeah.

Oh, all right. This looks. The Andre Hunter. Kevin Garnett. Everybody relax for a second. I thought we said we were blurting. Nobody said we were blurting. Vince.

Relax. All right. Hold on. Vince. Hold on. Vince. Vince. Bottom middle.

Hold on. Everybody relax. There's no, right. It's not. We have all the time in the world. This is doable. This is doable. All right.

We have all the time in the world. I think the most obvious is Vince bottom middle. Well, actually the most obvious. There are three obvious ones here. Kevin Garnett, top left. And then Kyrie for Celtics Cavs. Kevin Garnett, Kyrie Irving, Jouan Morgan.

Hold on. Hold on. Oh, but could it be? Oh, okay. Yeah. So Kevin Garnett, top left, Kyrie, middle left. But could it be Kevin Garnett rebounds? So I was going to say Kevin Love.

Kevin Love, LeBron, and. Uh, uh, Elijah one. Didn't we learn that with the Raptors? Yes, yes. Bottom right is Elijah one? Did it have to happen with him? I don't know. No.

Because his was 10,000 rebounds. Oh, shit. This is a career accomplishment. So could that team in a single, fuck. Okay. So that's probably more like, uh, you want to do Blash? You want to do?

Gasol? Gasol? Okay, so where do you want to do Kevin Love if you're doing... We're doing LeBron, middle right, correct? Did LeBron... Did he... No, no, I don't think he's ever average 10. I think he's always around 8 and a half.

Fuck. Yeah. He might have got to 10, but I don't... You could do... Did Mobley do 10? Jared Allen? Jared Allen or Mobley? But they...

Do they eat into each other? I don't feel like Evan Mobley is a big rebounder, is he? Am I off? base on that Great defendant Now wait a minute Tristan Thompson But also being a great defender

Kind of takes you out of rebounding Yeah Harry Irving I thought he can test Harry Irving middle left Let's go there Is Evan Mowably pulling down 10 rebounds of game

I don't I don't know That seems low Issaia Thomas There's no way people are doing Isaiah Thomas over Okay Okay

So if we did Garnett If we didn't do Garnett Top Left Who would we do? That's Cherokee Cherokee parks, of course. Cherokee parks.

You go Leightner, top middle. I think Leitner is top middle, right? I don't know, it might be. Chris Bosch. For top left? No. So it's Garnett. If we want to do Garnett top right, what would we do top left?

Sam Casell played for the... Did, uh, motherfucking... Oh, Ritcherton? Ted... Motherfucking... Kevin McHale. Oh, Kat didn't get 10 plus. Oh, Gobert.

Oh, Go Bear far right. Who? Go Bear. Go bear. Go bear, dude. Go bear. I forgot about Rudy. Go bear.

Yeah, he's very, you. Yeah. I don't like Gober. We need a garnet here. This is obviously a garnet. Yes, that's got to be garnet. And that's. Gobert.

That's good. All right. I'll take that. And then you want to go Kevin Love, middle right? Yeah. I don't think. Love has one. Kevin Love for sure did it.

Kevin Love for sure. With Cleveland? Yeah. For sure. to do it. Okay. Had to. If he didn't do it.

Kevin Love was a rebound. I quit. Yeah. I quit. If he didn't do it, we're off this grid for like at least a week. He did a sports sign. It's where he boxed out a sumo restaurant. Kevin Love Middle right.

Yeah. That's easy. He's got to be on there. Let's get our 65% and let's move on. Oh, God. 18? Is there anything better than DeAndre Hunter Middle Middle. It's going to be the Bron.

DeAndre Hunter and Middle Middle. Is there anything better? The Andre Hunter feels right. I do think Leitner is. Kyle Corver. I was Corver Corver

Corver I asked if there's anything better You want to go late in her top middle I think you're Teague Teague Teague Top middle Teague Top Middle Teague Top Middle

Jeff Teague Jeff Teague That's a big number too Tague At the TIG time Markasol for bottom right Yacum Pertil Oh that's good

That's good Surge Baca Hawaii wouldn't have done it or Bosch Kauai wouldn't have done it No No I don't think so Tens a lot

Not a lot of guys Lucas Two years away From being two years away Guys there's an obvious Celtic Raptor And I can't formulate it in my mind

Is that Did you say it so Do you know I say Thomas No Roger Blutman is screaming Over Where did Dino

Raja I think I'd say Thomas I could be wrong I thought Isaiah Thomas Is it because a dinosaur Is it because a

Raptor is a dinosaur Oh Oh Um, I think bottom right. Bottom right is, uh, Abaka. It's Bosch. It's Gasol. It's one of those three.

Hakeem? I don't think Hakeem did it. I like Gasol. You want to go to personal? You were thinking Gassal, weren't you? I mean, Bosch, Bosch feels like a guy who for sure should have done it. And his high is like 9.9.

Yeah. All right, to Gassal. Do Gassal. All right. go to Bacassal. Mark. Right? Yeah. How did that big motherfucker

There's only four people who did it? It was Kyle Corver. It was Corver. It was Corver. It was Bois. Motherfucking. Bosch. What did Bosch average? It was Bosch a whole time. He did it multiple times. It was Bosch. Basch. Teague, Gobert.

Jared Allen was the Helio Lennox. Oh. Jack! You gotta play Shaq. Who did we play there? Cairo. Tyree. It's V.

Shaq v. Karee? That's crazy. It's Shaq and Vince, dude. People love Shaq and Vince. They love Shaq and Vince. The two worst, Shaquille O'Neal's stints.
