Who am I supposed to be watching? And, uh, you got Leafs Habs tomorrow night? You got a bunch of games. What a day tomorrow is.

You can get late night golf, all of it. So dialed in, you're right. Palm Springs, Nick Taylor's in the hunt. You know, there's a lot going on out there in the sporting world this week. So it's going to be a fun week. And again, the NFL platform, there's always an every incredible playoff moment on TSN is powered by Bud Light a refreshing taste that's easy to enjoy tuning game day for pulse-pounding action. Luke will come up here in just a moment and Luke's got to figure it out too I mean I know Alice brother

and I were ice-cold last week but we're the champs man Alice brother and I have been rock stars when it comes to picking winners just the last 12-13 weeks exactly like we were due for an off week you guys need to snap out of this the thing about pro athletes is we understand when we need to step it up he is fully aware that we are in desperation mode yes like when he talks about the hawks, seahawks driving, like Russ snot running out of his nose, all fired up back in the day,

that's what he's gonna be like on this show right now. Yes, I think he will be, he'll be ready. And we're gonna look ahead to the games as well before we get to the picks. Al's brother will join us in a little bit. But I was trying to think of what I would consider the most shocking laws. And I think it's gotta be Chiefs, right?

Like it's probably gotta be Kansas City, like off a bye at home, playoff game. No question. Like it's gotta be Chiefs one, Lions two, and then I guess- Would the Lions shock you though really? Like regardless of their season, would it shock you if they punted on one it wouldn't mean i can't say sh shocked isn't the right word there might be one

lost that would be shocking and it's kansas city chiefs that's right there there might be one there'd be very surprising losses that would include detroit i fully expect they win the game but couldn't say i'd be shocked same thing with the eagles i think the rams they win the game, but couldn't say I'd be shocked. Same thing with the Eagles. I think the Rams could win that game. I think they absolutely could win that game. Just the shocking.

If Kansas City lose, I mean, are they the favorite, favorite or not? Like is it, you know, I mean, is it Detroit? Detroit's got a bigger spread, if that's what you're asking. The Lions are nine and a half, minus nine and a half on Fandall right now, and the Chiefs are an eight and.5 point favorite. I'm talking to win the Super Bowl though. If you had to pick today, it's still the Chiefs. Is it not just based on what they've done in Patrick Mahomes?

It should be, yes. Right. Regardless if you think they'll do it or not, if you're just trying to be objective and reading the tea leaves and looking at what has happened and who they are And the fact that they have home field throughout. Yes, Kansas City's the the safest bet now Actually, I was getting I was rattled there cuz I was trying to make a point, and I heard Billy Vanilli and it's all good. Now I'm back in a great mood. This is awesome stuff. It really is obnoxious when that thing stops you in your tracks. You're mid-sentenced and you just get cut off.

Mid-sentenced. Just cut off completely. You shut up now because Luke is here. Here's Luke Wilson. Luke, you answer this for us because we just collectively concluded there's only one loss this weekend that would be defined as shocking and that is if the Chiefs lost outright. Only one team losing would be labeled shocking. Would you agree with that? Disagree? If you disagree, what other losses would you consider shocking if they were to happen? I would disagree and it would be the Lions. And I'm not trying to take anything away from the commanders because it's obviously been

like an incredible incredible year based on where they're coming from, rookie quarterback, new head coach, I mean the whole shebang. But if this team goes in here and beats the Detroit Lions My jaw will be on the floor like that's called if you're the Lions you got to puke all over yourself to lose this one Yeah, all over yourself. Okay, that's reasonable. I guess what we were driving at Oh Oh drew drove it Originally and then I jumped on board at noodles. was built by i guess the history of the lions you know that that defense in the injuries and yet that that's it would be very surprising i guess is what we're sick but i can

reason was shocking i mean there are nine and a half point favorite at home coming off a by and it'd been great for a couple years yet totally okay boy i'm not going to lie to you. I'm pretty jazzed right now. I'm pretty jazzed. I got off a flight from Seattle today. My driver's license expired and they wouldn't let me renew it online. So I get out of the airport, YYZ, quick 24 hour trip, have to pay property taxes in my new home in Ontario. I go there. I get an absolute bloodbath with the people there

because they won't accept, God knows what, I won't get into that. And in the parking lot, my tires are sliced, I end up driving home, I'm like, I've got no PSI, so then the ultimate sweat comes on just to get the Canadian tire. I'm talking, I'm like, I think I might ruin my car, didn't, got the thing patched up, got issues,

and I'm sitting here, absolutely jammed, and I said, this is great karma, because it's been so terrible today, that I'm going to go, the rampage is about to begin, Part C, I'm going, we're getting all six points this week. I just know it. I know we are, Parts, I know we are. Wow.

That's how it goes. And they were just dogging us, Parts, on how we haven't been getting it done, and that is true. But the one thing about being on team pro athlete is recognition. We know we haven't been good enough and we will start the rampage this weekend parts. Let's go. Let's go. So, I got a lot to break down there quickly.

Let's take two minutes on your last 24 hours. Why can't you get an Ontario driver's license? Why do you have to go to Seattle? Why do you need a state of washington license arm i don't live here after the season done i'd say my okay residency is still in seattle i see almond

yeah so that the answer that one all right i got you and someone actually slashed your tires are you know i don't know if they'll but what happened also you know generally when you're driving you get like a low tire thing it's like oh you know there's a couple PSI gone so I'm driving home and the thing comes on and this is again I just left the airport driven 40 minutes and I'm like oh that's weird I got you know the tire light on so I click over on my car to see like what's the PSI and I'm expecting like maybe a 25 it says 12 I'm like whoa kind of nuts yeah then I park at my

house and when I get outside all I hear is this thing's gonna be a zero very quickly so I spun it around to a Canadian tire that was eight kilometers away had one PSI with about four kilometers ago and then I'm like you know I'm committed I'm so i just wanted around to it game i was eight kilometers away had one p s i before four kilometers ago and i'm like you know i'm committed i'm committed now i i did make it there well listen that's perseverance actually i i really appreciate that i think that

possibly could be very good for you guys this upcoming weekend alice brother will join us in a few moments and you guys don't know the two games you get a pick at alice brother and I will make our two picks But you know, it really is a tale of two days Isn't it Luke where you've got the Chiefs and and Lions at home massive favorites one seeds coming off a bye and Then on Sunday, even though the Eagles are pretty big favor. They're six and a half point favorite I think the Rams can win that game. I Understand why the Eagles are favored I I would pick the Eagles to win the game but I

think the Rams are capable of it and then the nightcap Ravens bills is a is a coin flip and the line would indicate that it just feels like we got to get through tomorrow and then it's kind of go time on Sunday with those two games it does but it almost seems like too good to be true. You know, in the sense of to have both those games on Saturday in both games, and you'll see where they fall. I don't want to tip my hand here. Seemed like a pretty easy pick in my opinion. But then all of a sudden you're like, man, this is the NFL.

The moment everybody kind of knows something's going to happen, I just feel like the polar opposite goes down. So I'm with ya, it does seem like that. And I was surprised with the Rams line as well. I think the Rams are probably the most dangerous team that's not really considered a legitimate contender left, if that makes sense. Yep.

And it'll be really interesting to see how that plays out. Uh, personally, I would have read, it's just unfortunate to have the cookie crumbled, but I think the better matchups in the NFC would have been the Rams versus Detroit and Philly versus Washington. I think that would have really set us up for two great ones, but here we are. We'll see. And I think the most exciting thing is that, and I'm not just saying this, we'll see how it plays out, but I think the Lamar, Josh Allen, Bill's Ravens has a chance to be one of the greatest games of our generation.

Part C, are you not getting a vibe? Because I was talking to Hayes about it. I get a lot of reading a little bit and people you talk to do a lot of people think Baltimore is going to crush. Do you buy into that? I do buy into that. It's tough because I get in this market, obviously it's very bills heavy. I'm known as the quote unquote bills hater, but I think most Bills fans,

you know, this year they've gotten me a few times, and generally I feel like I've just been honest, which is not the easiest thing to do in the Toronto market, but I look at this Baltimore team and I say to myself, like let's start with Lamar. You know, if Lamar has the wins that Mahomes does right now, people are talking about Lamar. You know, if Lamar has the wins that Mahomes does right now, people are talking about Lamar as the greatest quarterback of all time. You know, in that window for him winning and becoming that guy is dwindling. And it's just the reality of the situation.

Am I saying that he's the greatest pocket passing quarterback of all time? Absolutely not. But the man this year just passed Mike Vick. Like Mike Vick is a name, when I was a kid that is larger than life. He passed Mike Vick for quarterback rush yards. He could potentially win another MVP. And it's like he's got literally everything you need checked off as far as things to do in this league

except for win a Super Bowl. And you sit here and you're like, man, you have now a generational guy in Henry, the offensive line has played well, you have the best run defense in the NFL, wire to wire. The weakest part is their pass defense, and it's gotten significantly better on the back half of the season.

So if there's, you know, if there's a team, you know, that is ready to win a Superbowl right now, it is by far the Baltimore Ravens. Like I don't know what else you can do at this moment. They've played well down the stretch. That's a bumps early. Like I said, they run the ball better than anybody if arguably 1a compared to Saquon Henry I think are 1a 1b and you have the greatest quarterback runner of all time and on the flip side you're playing outside and you've got the best run defense in the NFL like that is an absolute recipe for success in January yeah that's kind of why I think people are on that bandwagon well I can understand that and they played earlier in the year and the success in january yet that's kinda why i think people are are on that bandwagon when i i can understand that and they played earlier in the year in the ravens

destroyed buffalo uh... but listen i i'd i love the ravens i love the way they're playing there's a reason it's one and a half it's a it's a coin flip game i mean it is and everything you just said is accurate in terms of where they played out the stretch i still i i what i've been saying this week work is if you ask me who do i have more

faith in having a great game josh allen of the march accent i'm just saying you gosh alan i'm saying i would agree that i would i would totally agree with that statement to me alan also need to man and and i need to make up for what Derek Henry is going to bring to the table, and also what the run defense of the Ravens are going to bring to the table. Like I think that the challenge of winning this game is much, much harder for Josh than it is Lamar, which I think a lot of people, that's kind of why a lot of people also lean Josh as MVP.

Even though Lamar's stats are better. It's like when I look at this game, if Lamar and Josh Allen play equal, I think the Ravens win. Josh has to basically out-duel Lamar and everything Lamar's got going for him. I'll say this. One thing that's not talked about enough with the bills this year is I believe that

their plus minus ratio and turnover margin is number one in the NFL. So if there's a way where, you know, they can create a fumble, even if they're giving them some run yards or pick Lamar off and end up plus two and Josh plays like Superman, they will win this game. even if they're giving them some run yards or pick Lamar off and end up plus two and Josh plays like Superman they will win this game. So again, this is why I'm saying like To me I look at this and it could be a dud it could balance very clear But I also think that this has the makings or the alignment of like a absolutely generational football game. Generational. He just did it to Luke. Generational talent.

He is my partner, Al's brother. Al's brother, I love the hat, I love everything about it. I got the Hazen bow down here, I forgot my championship hat. It's upstairs in the family room so the kids have to stare at it every day alzheimer how are you feeling before the big weekend i feel fantastic i really do you know i'm excited for this weekend's football matchups and uh... i feel good about our picks hazy b went back and forth i think we talk things through i feel confident i can real confident

right let's uh... let's begin with which games we are choosing to play here Al's brother do you want to take the board? We are taking one of the Saturday games, correct? Which game are we going to take? Yeah, and and I want to take the Washington and Detroit game I think that's the game that we want to take because I feel strongly about one side over the other Are we are we going right into it? you know i had a little bit x make your announcement all right we are proud to select in this one the washington

commanders all my i didn't know i don't know there's no i don't know the number i'm telling you no it's gonna happen we can write this week in white this and record and fix the podcast because I don't think you guys are being serious right now Listen, I was I need to hear this. I need to hear this and then I got something to say after I need to hear How do we get here? How do we know your else brother? I'll explain how we got here. Okay. I believe in Jaden Daniels. I think he is him He is lived up to the moment all season long. The guy has shown up late in games

He last week in the playoffs he drove down the field got a game-winning run and ended up getting that team in a field goal Position he is him and he matches up Extremely well against this Detroit defense that is still very banged up Extremely well against this Detroit defense that is still very banged up Involuntary in both the run and the passing game you look at Detroit and how much they've struggled this year against rushing quarterbacks They've allowed the second most yards per carry to QB's this season The commanders are the second best run blocking win rate team that can also pass block pretty well But Jane Daniels to talk about again the matchup here He's fared well against the Blitz this season with 110 passer rating five

touchdowns no picks against five or more rushers Detroit has the fifth highest blitz rate this year and they also run more man coverage than anyone else in the league Jane Daniels nine touchdowns just one interception against man coverage this season he matches up extremely well against this defense that has not played well at all this season. They are still incredibly banged up and then I look at another X factor and it's your boy, Luki. Backwards hat, Dan Quinn against Jared Goff. This is gonna be a matchup because Dan Quinn has dominated Jared Goff in his career. Goff as a lion is 0 and 2

Against Quinn's defenses. He also lost in the playoffs years ago when he was with the Rams against Dan Quinn's defense in Atlanta And this guy is gonna be without Kevin Zeitler big-time guard for the Detroit Lions I think Quinn puts him in a mental pretzel. I don't know if the commanders win this game but nine and a half and you have massive spread i don't think i a's on bypassing you i want to go to my party thoughts and what they just did okay i'll be honest with you party in your life if i thought we were going to stop with this one so i was full on deck lines on like there's no way i want to think he's not

saying they can be acquainted full on deck Lions. I'm like, there's no way, I wanna think she's not saying like, she's Dan Quinn can, I don't know how Dan Quinn is going to slow this offense down. So do I think Jayden Daniels can score points on this defense? Yes, but the Lions, like they have the ability to score every single drive. And that's where I would have went,

Lions all day, Lions all day, Lions all day, cause I expect Detroit to put up 40 40 and yes, you heard me correctly. 40 points, but I will say this. I, again, I was sold that we would get this game because I think that that line is very, very greasy. Um, so I did reach out not to Dan, but to a another member. I'll, I'll leave it at that who's a very close friend and he's biased but he gave me he was like listen I think we

got a shot to straight-up win he's like I'm not just saying that so I was gonna come on here and ask you if you want to trust a player on the team or my pick and my pick would have been the Lions the player and the commanders what thinks that they can win So I I don't know. I think it's I think it's insane to be honest with you I don't see how they're gonna stop the Lions like the Lions would have to puke all over themselves and not win this fight No backdoor covers available to with nine and a half right else, but that's a massive number the back doors alive What about the total it's 55 and a half? How's brother? Where do you lean?

Yeah, I mean like this is how you have to play this. I cannot believe you kicked this game. Well, wonder how it is man. I feel strongly. We gotta get it back together here. I feel good about it and I actually like the under in this game guys. I do. Oh my god. I love how both these offenses could put up points hear me out Forget it happen go to commercial and we started over you guys don't have to do this We got a rifle through these quickly else brother. Where you at?

I think that we're gonna see both these teams run the football efficiently and when you run the football it turns clock you turn Clock not a lot of possessions not a lot of points That's really the really the crux of my argument, which is also why I think 10 points is too much. So that's why I think we see the Lions win, but commanders cover and stay under the number. 27-21 Lions, under the number with a cover. Alright, our second game. Al's brothers, these guys are going to go nuts when they hear this. Go who go ahead which game we taking and who do we like? We are gonna take the game of the century as some are calling

We have that's right. We have the stones to do it We got the stones to do it Baltimore Heading into Buffalo and we are on the bill bills plus points Buffalo bills will taking the Buffalo Bills. We'll be jumping through tables Sunday night with the rest of the Bills. I want to go to commercial and forget we ever did it. Are you kidding me Josh Allen, that offensive line? Have you seen Lamar's literally never won two playoff games in a row. Literally. Now. Never. He's going to be freezing on Sunday night. Freezing. What are they called? On Sunday night. Josh Allen is going gonna go out there and absolutely cook their offensive line is gonna step up for a fight

It's a massive game. The the atmosphere is gonna be incredible. I know what Josh Allen's bringing I know what he's bringing. I think he's gonna bring a lot of life. I think they're gonna win the turnover battle and Listen, the Ravens are a great team. It's a tough game to pick. We have the stones to do it That's why we're champions right? I was brother right But that's why we led the charge and won the regular season by a touchdown and we punted on right 18 So we could be ready for this game bills And I will say this the biggest difference between the game that they played earlier in the year where the Bills got ran over No, no, you know, they did there's no ifs ands or buts about it

where the bills got ran over. No, no, you know, they did. There's no ifs, ands, or buts about it. The bills are without seven defensive starters, including Matt Milano, Terrell Bernard, and Terrell Johnson. They're three undersized guys. You're out of your mind. They're ready, man. No. The disrespect that you're showing King Henry in Lamar is outrageous. Since Matt Milano returned. it's outrageous but we're on the bills now malone has just begun the ramp page has begun okay over under here al's brother quickly where do you where's your head out in this game the total is fifty one and a half on fandle weather game under fifty one and a half under yeah that's probably the right play I would agree that's the right play

okay so that leaves you guys with chiefs Texans, Chiefs minus 8.5 and Eagles minus 6.5 against the Rams. Let's begin, Chiefs Texans. Who do you like and why? Part C. Feel free to come over the top on this or push back, but I have to go with Patty Mahomes. I know the number is big, but this is where I'm coming from. You look at certainly DJ Straub, let's start there, he has had a very poor year relatively speaking. Okay, not, he has turned the ball over and he has not been accurate. He has not been an accurate thrower. Even last week in the win, you know, you have to pick six that helped him out. There's a lot of throws he missed early. Now he made some plays with his legs but I sit here and say okay you're going up against a run defense in the Chiefs

that has been very, very stout, and Joe Mixon is a great back, but that offensive line has not been great. So you're gonna need CJ Straub to sling the ball around. He's still a young guy. He's gotta see Steve Spagnola's defense. He's also very, very well rested. I think he at least has won potentially two turnovers.

Can he turn back the clock to his rookie year and absolutely light it on fire? Sure. But has that happened this year? No, it has not. So I love that matchup for us. On the flip side, Mahomes knows what's going on here. Okay. This is a guy who's trying to chase Tom Brady. This is a guy, this is a tune up game in my opinion. That's why the line is eight and a half. You're going to sit here, Andy Rees had a ton of time to prep, Patrick Mahomes is out of time to prep. I don't understand how they don't come out here and absolutely break the doors off this team. I got Patty Mahomes all day on that. That's how I'm feeling, Partsie. Tell me if you're

on board. You're gonna lock that in or what? I kind of like it. The one thing I've noticed about the Chief this year, we're obviously locking it in, but no matter their opponent, they seem to find a way to beat them by three or less. Exactly. They play games all the time. Al's brother, please with the commentary. Partly, can I remind you when Al's brother chose to Atonga-Wailoa to cover against the

Chiefs last year in the playoffs for the same reason? The worst pick in overdrive history. We can't be fooled. This is playoffs Chiefs. We cannot ride with CJ Stroud in Arrowhead in January. We just simply can't do it. Okay, Chiefs eight and a half. What about the total? 41 and a half is the line over or under? Okay, the part C. I actually, this is going to be very, very big sweat, but I actually

am leaning to the over. 41 and a half to me, I like this game. I think the Chiefs put up somewhere around 24 or 27 points. So I sit here and say, could this be like a last minute, greasy backdoor total? Yes, get this thing to, you know, 27. My math is right, does 27, 19 do it? Yeah. I think so.

Oh yeah, way over the number. But that doesn't give me my eight and a half. Yes. 28.18. Yeah, you might want to figure that one out first. Okay, I do like the 41.5. I think the Chiefs are gonna, especially with some picks, I think the Chiefs will score close to 30.

Okay. So that's where I'm at on this, but that's gonna be a very big sweat. I'm gonna tell you right now, we're gonna need a miracle like to get over that thing rights of cheese and i don't know if that's it's now so i love it else brother now the final game the weekend eagles minus six and a half against the rams

totals forty three and a half would you like to spread first uh... party this is uh... very very tough one for me and i will i will love to hear some pushback. I'm not sold on anybody. My gut does lean Rams cover. I think that Philadelphia, just from a grit standpoint, has some issues right now. And what I mean by that is, and I know he says he does it all the time,

the idea that we're reading books on the sideline is just like, my personal mind can't get over that I can't even imagine being a playoff game and reading a book on the sideline You know our work forms. Who cares it did but now we sit here and we go You know, Jaylen hurts is What Jaylen hurts are we gonna get? You know and do I think they can win sure but you take Saquon out if you can, which is gonna be very, very tough.

How does this thing go down? And then the next thing I'll say is, Matthew looked pretty elite last week, and obviously the Eagles have a very, very good defense, but they still have a very young secondary. So is Matthew Stafford, is he able to find a way to keep this thing within a touchdown? My gut would say yes, but I do think the Eagles win. Matthew Stafford, is he able to find a way to keep this thing within a touchdown?

My gut would say yes, but I do think the Eagles win. So if you're kind of on the vibe where you're like, man, I think the Eagles blow this out of the water, I have no problem. I have no problem going the other way. You tell me. It just seems, I don't know, part of me thinks like the Rams. Nobody gave him any credit all year. I don't know how much they deserve, but they just kept hanging around in that division.

Part of me thinks it's going to be like they're going to turn into a pumpkin once they get to Philly and they're going to get slaughtered. But I understand. Stafford is your guy and we'll give them props to at least cover the spread. All right, so you're on the Rams plus six and a half totals 43 and a half over under God I hate these over under so much, but I'm gonna go I'm gonna go over again. I'm gonna go over again. I Think this is it. You know, I think that this one comes to season 43 and a half I think we're sitting here at 24 21 field goal one field goal wins it and recovered against the forty five i i think that's what the final score is going to be

so the picks are in that hazen bro on the commander's plus nine and a half of the bills plus one and a half of ron the under on both of our games you guys are on the chiefs and the rams and you're on the over both your games lock it someone's gotta get points this weekend right some yes we have to do something we have to get away from the one to one school can't be one one and I gotta be

honest I know it's supposed to be an advantage getting to pick your games I don't love I hate it I hate it because so much I hate having I think it's a disadvantage to have to pick the two you want because then you start overthinking it. You feel like a dummy if you get it wrong. This is the lack of confidence group I've ever heard.

Both sides are just like kicking stones going, I hope this happens or whatever. Where's the confidence? I'll tell on what happened that will you have been i think the both teams are speaking my rivals here but generally here like if you pick a spread you kind of sit there and you're like oh i missed this spread but like you'll go thicker mistic a car like we had a bad turnover not often this year and there's a few times you're a few far between you just miss by 20 points? Where it's like both of us last week just got our teeth kicked in. We were brutal last week. There was no sweating to spread

into the fourth quarter really for anyone. Nothing. That changes. she has in case in the first quarter or cut word on the already or order and i didn't even fight back i know thank you but the uh... people who is well best of luck to everyone involved and we'll catch you guys on the group chat tomorrow i'm just happy to have backward hats dan and v Vicky Fangio and Josh Allen. I feel like static this weekend. Easy beat.

the money. You know what got you? The tweet that said they're digging into the extra signing money. That's what it was. They acquired it today. I know. I know that's what it was. And I said there's just no way that this guy is signing with the Jays. He's signing

with the Dodgers. And that's exactly where he signed. Like the Dodgers just get everybody and they're the best and the greatest and everyone else is chasing. Like it's almost gotten to a point of a little bit of ridiculous. Like I like a team loading up. You want to blow the cash, go ahead, but it's like they're signing like who else is going to win next year? Like just give them the trophy, man. Well, and if it's a Japanese player who's coming over, he's just going to the Dodgers now.

Like that's what it seems like. You know, Tani Yamamoto, now Suzuki. It's like, yeah, I'll just go to the Dodgers. And like, what the hell with the Jays? I guess I can't do this. What are they doing? Like, what are they doing? what are they doing what are they doing what try well you know you're pitching again i know you're trying but

like again it's the dodgers and the jays and they lose again like what are they supposed to do when i don't know when you've got otani freddy freeman mookie betts yeah clayton kershaw la and it's like they go and sit down, what do you think is going to happen? I know that. I got it. All right.

Maybe this will help you because you need something like this, okay? Let's help people, okay. This is basically Brian Hayes writing in, Dear Hazy B, I've been very dedicated to dry January with my wife, but she's out of town with a few of her friends. The boys and I are getting together for the Maple Leafs and the Canadians game. What's the play here, guys? For your information, my wife is a big FaceTime

out of the blue fan. Hope you guys can help me out, Mike and Vaughn. Oh, man, dry January has taken down a lot of people. People are very committed to dry January. Dude, I know people that do it for a day. Well that's it, exactly. It becomes like a running joke. I got through a week.

That last part is really important. The FaceTime out of nowhere thing. And if you're crippled, she will go. Exactly. Like, there's no getting away. had a nowhere thing and if you're crippled she will go nnnn. Like that's there's no getting away guys everyone thinks oh they probably didn't know I've been drinking everyone knows immediately the second you turn that FaceTime on at 1130 if you've been boozing since pugtub. And your face is just if you've got furnace face and your eyes are crossed you're done.

Be red and you're staring at a fly on your nose that's right actually what's happening i would say you'd just be honest and say i'm gonna and i'm having drinks and we got through more than half of january i think that's a good cop push because you get a face time the and you're gonna catch me anyway so i did you have to calculate if this is something that you and your wife

like if it was a serious thing where you and your wife for like, look, we've been getting after the booze a little bit too much and we've got to slow it down. So if you did it together with your wife, you might want to think twice about it. If it was one of those things you kicked around on a Saturday morning having a coffee, say, I might try dry January, then fill your boots, do whatever the hell you want. If there's a connection with the wife where you did it together. Very important to keep that alive. I understand that.

Exactly. One thing I will ask, and we don't have the details, sounds like his wife is out of town. Who's to say she's not ordering a bottle of wine out for dinner or wherever she is? I don't want to judge or make assumptions, but you know she's having red wine with the coach. That's what I'm saying. And it could be one of those, hey, we're both kind of doing it, and let's just pretend that we're not. We'll just both lie to each other and so well

That's what you do like you hold up the soon as she facetimes you just hold up your four-fingered scotch And you say I thought you were gonna facetime me with the wine and say we I wanted to have fun But what if she didn't noodles then you're in big trouble if you're like hey I figured you were going out so you must have and she goes Didn't the assumption can get yourself into big trouble. That's what it is You know like that's you start assuming that you think she what she's gonna be up to and she's not Now we've said you got to hang up or you just flush that face. You could flush the face time. That's old school, right? Technology's jamming up a lot of people these days

That's old school right? Technology is jamming up a lot of people these days. It is. Flush the FaceTime. Let's help this guy out too. This guy sounds like he's got a real attitude problem. Mick. This guy's name is Mick. Dear Hazy B heading down to the Bill's Ravens this weekend, our buddy Mick has four season tickets. We go to every playoff game with Mick. Issue is Mick lives for the tailgate, floors it every time, has been kicked out of three games so far this year. playoff game with mick issue is mick lives for the tailgate floors at every time has been kicked out of three games so far this year

how do we keep the mixer on track the ultimate conundrum because it's his tickets right like he's the one inviting you and you know the guy that they don't even care about the game it's about the tailgate right and for a six thirty kickoff due to have it to be starting by noon at the latest in Buffalo. Right? Like he's going to be in trouble.

He's going to be in big trouble. I don't think you have the right to say anything though. He invited you. You're his guest. It's his tickets. Like I honestly, I think you just go out there and say, Mick, have a great time, but I'm going to be in that stadium watching this ballgame. It's going to be a phenomenal football game.

Live your life, Mick. Thanks for the ticket. Just make sure I get it before you don't want to be tied to having Mick get you into the stadium. What if he gets, gets you kicked out? Like all four of you guys are gone because you don't even want to deal with him if he's a pain in the ass in there. I think you got to have a heart to heart with them and say, you got to keep it on the straight

and narrow. We love the tickets, but you're a buzz, like you're a buzzkill on the opposite end of it because you're pissing people off. Biggest game of the year too, right? And nowadays too, you're seeing like all these fights in the stadium, like maybe he drags them into a fight or something like that. You don't want any of them. I think you do have a conversation with them and say, listen, you know what?

We love that. Let's have a great time. Let's let's, you know, you almost make a joke of it. Let's stay in the game. We're not getting you kicked out. We're having a good time. Like four of us, like to me, I think you, as a group, you got to rally around him and make sure

that he doesn't, you know, act up. I don't know. Like walk him in there like Bernie Lomax. Like just, I don't know. There's a lot of that. Cause again, 630 game, night game, but it's such a big game Don't you want to be in the game? Like I would just be thinking I have a couple of beers and you know Burger dogs whatever hanging out, but it's like I want to be in that stadium by 6 o'clock ready to rock

Yeah, like I want to get wasted freezing cold weather anyway I know you get adjusted who Who wants to do that? Right. Massive football game. Like it's not a game in September against Jacksonville. This is the Ravens are in town. It's a divisional game. Figure it out, Mick. Let's help this guy out. Fresh legs hockey. Dear Hazy B, my fiance is hell bent on a specific song for our wedding dance the issue is and i can't believe it is the exact same song my ex-wife and i used at our my first wedding what on earth do i do

you have to put an end to that it cannot happen they don't hazy b yes you do you let her have fun you say if that's the song you want but i will say this if it gets back to her it was the song at your first wedding you might as well locked the door and run for your life and never come back to show you a smoke your ass was going to break there's a lot of carryover from the first wedding

to the exact, right? You just you get the one uncle that go hey, I haven't heard that song since your last wedding And you're like dude, shut up uncle Mick, you know I'll drunk Mick with just a like just his drunk will be like same song You know, I heard this. I don't know man. I think you got to find a way to... I think you'd be honest. She knows you were married once. It's not a secret.

You just say, I think this is bad karma for us because the last time it was played, it went south. Although... Yeah, but the minute that you bring it up to her and say, this was played at our last wedding, she won't want to play it anymore. She'll go, okay, well, thank you. But the minute that you say you bring it up to her and say this was played at our last wedding She won't want to play it anymore. She'll go. I will thank you like to me. I think it would be let's find our song like it Right she has it set in her heart. Maybe this song or whatever is it the what song would be so great noodles in your opinion What is it that you know the not yet sure so I know that I know what your legs don't work anymore or whatever Yeah, yeah, yeah, like to me. That's a wedding song. No rates. Yeah, I know which one you mean

I don't know the name of it, but yeah great anyways, but to me I if it's if it's a classic like that Then you talk about it But I think she deserves the truth because you're marrying her and you would want her to be in a bad spot be upset with the idea i'd be honest with her and i mean if the first dance that's a big one you got it you gotta hit that one you know guys you're getting the language in the question she's howl bent on the song

i know that but uh... you know what song could possibly have that much meaning or be such a grand slam first dance song it's thinking out loud. What if she says screw the first wife, like it's my song. All good then. Let's go. Then that's no problem. I think if you're the groom you're like hey whatever man.

Like unless he's got weird vibes too. There could be, listen guys are allowed to have some emotion and stuff. He may be like honestly I've done that before. I don't really want to hear that song again. It's going to give me a weird kind of flashback. You know, I think for his sake, maybe that's what we got to consider here for his sake. Step in and be like, I don't want that song again. Like it just, it wasn't, it didn't work out for me the last time it was played. Let's forget Ed Sheeran, let's play something else. Just presuming it's Ed Sheeran, but it is a good song. It is.

Alright, there you go. That was pretty good stuff, man. I thought there was some variety. That was a variety of Dear Hazy Bees. You got to straighten out Mick and Buffalo, man. You got to straighten out Mick. I'm concerned about Mick's behavior. I mean, we just don't want to see any of these.

On Instagram, every Sunday night or every Monday, you go through the reels and it's like, I was we just don't want to see any of these like I just I it's the on Instagram every Sunday night or every Monday It just you go through the reels and it's like the fighting is gotta stop Fighting should be like three years in jail and you're never allowed in a sporting event again ever. That's how you stop it Crazy. Well, it's just yeah the interactions the language, you know, crazy at sporting events That's always been the case and I was dude wasn't there a guy in Philly that got the crazy at sporting events. That's always been the case. Well, dude, wasn't there a guy in Philly that got fired from his jog? That guy was an idiot, though. He was using some language on the woman. But the one thing, Jamie, is nobody heard what was said to him. I don't know if he talked

like that, but no one knows if she was yelling at him. It's crazy that people can't even leave their house and go to a sporting event. But it's just nonsense. That guy deserved to be publicly shamed for the way he was acting. That guy has kids, that guy. He was being a complete jackass. I'm surprised that wasn't a fist fight because I do believe the husband was filming it. Recording it. Yeah, recording it.

This guy's talking to his wife like that. Like I don't know. That would have been a full out brawl. You'd think you'd step in there and be like hey man like I get off I get you're in enemy territory or whatever but I don't know I mean I do actually think from that standpoint stadiums and stuff have actually softened a lot because a lot of society is aware of that like there's cameras you know like yeah're there you used to go down to some sporting events back in the day And it was it was a black zoo

Just my just my personal opinion I think you're an idiot if you go into a place like Philadelphia and where the other teams had in Jersey and stuff just country But why do you want to set yourself up for any you just will try to blend in and cheer for your team? You are inviting a little bit of like a don't bring the gear leave the gear at home and just wear your street clothes isn't that the beauty of being a you know at these games like a you shouldn't if

if the tomorrow night you're going into montreal territory if you're a leaf and you should be able to wear a leaf jersey and it should be a fun a fun event for both sides that's the beauty of sports. The point is you can't trust people anymore. People are morons. I understand that. You can't trust anyone to do that.

Well, again, it's always been like that. Always. It's just now it's being exposed. Like, crazy stuff has been said and done forever.

You got Roki Sasaki out in LA with the Dodgers, right? You just missed out on them just missed out just a bit I was Ross and mark I would say you guys leak one more time that we're interested in a free agent. No way Can't do it. Yeah do it worst PR move ever for that to ever happen again

It is the boy that cries wolf But I guess you can't control it because the player that's getting assigned as an agent and he's going to let everyone know who's interested. And they're trying to get them. There's nothing wrong. We're trying to get our time here. Nothing sinister here.

But sooner or later, they have to answer the question, why do you always miss out? Why do you always miss? Yeah. Is it because of the weather? Is it because of the country that we're in? Why is it that you're always missing out? Let us carve a path forward at least.

Exactly. It'd be tough if they gave the Kevin Adams speech. You know what I mean? Like that. Yeah, no palm trees, taxes and all that. But listen, it puts a spotlight. There's still guys out there to get this off season and Vladdy's contract.
