I'm not going to read the whole email. You'll have to listen to my other podcast for that. But I got an email from a woman who's like, I'm old enough to be your mother's. And also like here are my like not grievances but like here are my like here is my listener feedback and i'm like i'm not even mad like i sent an email that was like thank you for this feedback like we genuinely do appreciate it because she was like the episode it was the ssp it was the one you were on oh boy yeah you know what it's relevant hold up one second oh boy what'd she say about me

uh it was not kind oh boy hold on one sec i gotta load the shit no not the spam i want this where's my scent inbox this is this is live live tom berating uh i don't know where it went i thought i responded to it hang on on. Oh, Mary Sue. The episode really tried her patience. Too much testosterone. Well, I can't help that. I may be the only listener who is more than old enough to be your mother, but a lot of your internal conversations are incomprehensible to me.

I'm not familiar with Philly restaurants, grocery stores, or night spots, so I often find myself trying to look look it up finally i've i've been trying to join your patreon for a month i'm going to i'm going to like shout out this woman live on the air for like i don't know i like i don't know how old she is i assume like late 50s early 60s yeah but i'm very touched by the fact that like like someone that like could be peers to my parents like here's my fucking feedback yeah because it's like i i you know like i i'm not going to change the the the intense philly what's that word philly centric no the like hyper provincialism provincialism yeah right i'm not going to change the philly provincialism but i

do think it's funny that this woman like cared enough to write us an email yeah that wasn't just like you suck go fuck yourselves so i'm gonna going to mention that. I mean, we do go. It's not just Philly, too. We went into Bucks County shit there. Yeah. With Fairless Hills McDonald's and all that. We go into like, and she was like, I don't know what a Wawa is. It says that in the email.

I'm like, I don't know. Well, because you're so blessed. Oh, yeah. The food's bad, dude. We have a DM about that. I know. I saw it. The food is meaningfully bad now.

The food is meaningfully bad now the food is meaningfully bad now like i got wawa i forget the last i got i'm sure i was uh in location redacted uh because there's a wawa there uh and like i just was like i this is borderline inedible and i'm a fat boy dude like yeah it's it yeah no i i totally get it like it's it's gnarly the only thing that it's like edible to me is like the breakfast sandwich oh the are you talking the sizzlies or the like the hoagies because the hoagies the breakfast hoagies are not are not edible with that like that powdered egg shit no no the sizzlies because the sizzlies are still real egg sizzlies sizzlies go i like sizzlies yeah sometimes i end up taking the egg off halfway through what why uh do we really have to go into tom's weird

issues sometimes i get weirded out by eggs okay i mean that that kind of makes sense like i i guess i guess my question was not like why would you remove it it was why would you remove it halfway through yeah like because i'm done with it i'm like i don't need any more eggs oh i don't need any more oh i've done a million times yeah no you're not you know that's not fucked up yeah yeah no it's like all right this is not fucking egg for me no no no that totally makes sense to you that totally makes sense it also tracks with your bizarro world consumption habits it's oh my god it's so i have like someone over the house that doesn't know or like someone makes something for me like Like, Oh, that's so sweet of you. Like all my idiosyncrasies.

to my old practice um let me look up the name i'm going to type it in the chat so that people can't like dox you um but it's in like kensington i'll believe that uh no i go to temple I go to Temple. I go to... Hold on. Hold on. Oh, you said... I'll just cut this part out. Wow, look at that. No. Oh, do you have problems with them?

No, actually. I don't, but I know a lot of my seniors are through there. Yes. There's a doctor there who's a total prick. I had to change doctors. I had to change doctors.

He'd be an asshole. I also had a, what do you call it? The phlebotomist. Well, it wasn't a full phlebotomist, but like the nurse, I guess, who's drawn my blood. And she didn't heed my warning where I said, hey, by the way, I do pass out sometimes. And I slumped over and she called the crash cart. She thought, like, have you,

you know what a crash cart sounds like at a hospital, like when they think someone went in the car to get arrested, code blue or whatever it is. And they called, like, I didn't know that a doctor's office had it. So she hit the fucking alarm. And two doctors with a fucking AD run in. And I'm like, they're like, you okay? I was like, yeah.

I went into the tunnel and came back out. No, I... And I did hear the doctor give her a little bit of a... You should have fucking... I'm glad that you called. You should have listened to the patient right I will

say my favorite thing is the temple health phlebotomist I like I love them because they're just like if I deal with any of your bullshit I'm going to cut you with a fucking parking lot okay

yeah you do work for temple health right like like i get it right it's like it's it's very noble like temple for all its problems as an institution is the provider of last resort in a lot of cases education sure one of them health another yeah and uh i i imagine those people have seen some shit. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Especially the Episcopal campus. Oh, Episcopal. That's where I used to go. And then my doctor was like, are you smoking weed? And I was like, no, I don't use weed. He's like, I'm going to do a drug test. I'm like, I'm not going to come see you again. Wow.

Go fuck yourself. I don't smoke weed. I don't like weed. Do you want to know? We'll get to sports. A funny little story. I know someone who popped a drug test because he took an edible. Pissed off.

But I didn't smoke it. Liam is face palming. It's not even face palming. This is face palming. I do the pinch the bridge of my nose thing a lot like it to the point where it's become kind of like like almost involuntary where it's just like where i'm just like all right like we're just gonna get through this like yeah you should do it like the anime someone out there draw liam doing

it in like like with you have the glasses you can't see behind your face. And there's that whoosh thing behind you. Sure. Have you never seen anime? Anime eyeglasses guy thing? Oh, my God. Oh, I typed in enema. Get help, Tom.

All right. Let's talk about sports. So the Eagles barely beat the Carolina Panthers. it was not pretty why aren't we passing why aren't we passing dude kellen morris i understand that but like why aren't we passing uh no i've never seen that before um i i don't i don't know man what did j Hurts have? He had something like 100 yards passing. I think it was 118. Yeah. Yeah, it was kind of rough.

Hang on one second. Let's see. Let's grab the stats real quick. Talk about it. Yeah, so what happened was we beat Carolina 22-16. We were outthrown by Bryce Young. Yeah, who was putting together a hell of a drive at the end of the game I was genuinely like oh no this is going to be like

his come like oh shit he's this is going to be it welcome to the NFL like right like this is this is his like oh shit he got his shit together the Panthers are going to start coming together right let me see if I can save by not a holding call.

What's the holding call? No. Was it OPI? I think it was OPI. Yeah, saved by OPI. 14-21 for 108 yards, two touchdowns. Yeah.

This team... Here's my question, and I think it's a legitimate question to ask when Saquon gets hurt. Oh, we're fucked. We're fucked. We just got Kenny Gainwell, who is a guy. He's the difference if Saquon gets hurt? Oh, we're fucked. We're fucked. We just got Kenny Gamewell, who is a guy. He's a dude.

I agree with you. He's not bad, but he's not Saquon Barkley. He's not the best running back in the league. Yeah. It's been kind of frustrating to watch this. Again, no score in the first quarter from this team.

They come out. They forget their football team for a full 25% of the game. We needed a literal comeback win against the fucking Carolina Panthers. That's not really acceptable to me. They were 3-9. And maybe this is me Monday morning quarterbacking.

Who gives a shit? That's our job. That's true. I know a lot of times it's like, alright, you run this and set up the pass. I think in this case with Saquon, you pass to set up the run. Yeah, I'll buy that. Force him to cover Devonta and AJ. And then when you

think, least expect it, you're going to just send Saquon out with some bullshit. I want him to get running yards and stuff like that, but I don't want this guy to have no hamstring left right exactly i i am i i think a lot of it is also like this is an answer in search of an answer in search of a problem to a point but like the passing game is i don't know it's lethar. Lethargic is a good word. Like not, not there meaningfully.

Like I, I don't know how much I trust an offense. That's just run the ball down their throat forever. Right. We were out. I will say we were out gained by the Carolina Panthers. Yeah. Out gained only by 10 yards.

We should have hung 500 yards on them like the fucking lions did it's not there yeah that worries me too like that's that's the big thing that's the big thing that that worries me right is um sorry text me a big thing that worries me is the Lions are massacring bad teams. We're barely beating. Yeah. That sucks. Yeah, it sucks. And WIP tried to make a whole big thing because A.J. Brown was like, what's the hardest part of this team right now?

He just goes passing. And they were like, how hard is it when you can't get it? And he goes, it's incredibly tough. A.J. Brown is like a guy who speaks his mind right and like yeah they're like oh is there beef between jalen hurts it's like no and like i'm sorry i'm gonna get i'm gonna sound like an asshole here for a second yeah going back to jalen's time at oklahoma or not even oklahoma alabama there have been complaints about like hey the passing in kind of atrophies under this guy. We have made those complaints.

Now you just have Saquon to bail you out. So it's like I think that they should keep Jalen. But like, I also believe that like Saquon Barkley is patching over a lot of the like what would be glaring weaknesses in any other team. Oh, we're we are looking like last year yeah worse yeah if if we don't have saquon yep and i know and a good roster construction does shore up your your gaps but you can't rely solely on one guy you want to know how much how much uh yards per pass we got uh yeah go ahead 3.3 3.3 love that. I love that. I love slants. Yeah.

I mean, they have their use, but... We average 6.7 yards per rush. Yeah. I mean, if they know we're going to run it on every play, again, like... I mean, we have this gift where you can get people to bite on play action because of... I mean, shit. I mean, and you can even do read options. There's so much because Jalen can run too.

Exactly. And yeah, no, A.J. Brown, yeah, this dude is another, you know, what, a top 10 wide receiver? Mm-hmm. Top five wide receiver? A.J. Brown? Yeah. Top three wide receiver.

Top three? Top three. Get this guy some looks. Throw him the fucking ball, dude. Why are we, like, what are we doing? Like, why are we, like, and the thing that baffles me, right, is, like, this team is like, oh, we're going to, like, it's third and short.

Fuck it. Air it out. And it's like, you killed the drive, dude. I have no problem if it's, like, second and four where they're, like, real, where you know the defense is like alright they're gonna like load up the box. Fuck it. Air it out 40 yards to A.J. Brown or Dallas Goddard

Take the shot. Take the shot. I don't have a problem with that. It's second and four. I absolutely have a problem when Sirianni thinks himself stupid because the guy is not a fucking good head coach and Jalen does get in his own head. There was the example of a drive play.

That means you have several players running an out pattern, running out to the sideline for those football dweebs. And Brown was open. Multiple times.

And you see... Well, the one, I don't think Jalen even threw it. He just threw it out of bounds. Allen was open. Multiple times. And you see... They saw the check down. And, well, the one, I don't think Jalen even threw it. He just threw it out of bounds. Yeah. He held on it too long. And you see, he cocks back to throw it and doesn't.

It's like, he was open. Right, he was open. He must have misread the defender being further back. He did that last year too, though. Yeah, but... Are we... Can we win a Super Bowl, Jalen Hurts? The answer is yes, but you can't win a super bowl jalen hurts and the answer is yes but you can't win more than one yeah well i mean you can win with jalen hurts if saquon's healthy

yeah because you can just it's like the old packers offense where they were just like i'm gonna give the ball to aaron joe and run it down your fucking throat and but yeah like how long i mean yeah like like jalen hurts and he's got a contract too. Like he's not – he's here for a minute. And we like Jalen Hurts. We do like Jalen Hurts. He's frustrating sometimes. But we also need more out of him. Yeah.

This is not a situation with like – there's two things that I believe, that like Jalen Hurts could absolutely get better, and also this is the best we can get. Like I am so unwilling to risk like like i am not someone who's like oh like i believe sort of contradict yourself where i'm like you might as well draft a qb at random because nobody knows how to draft the qb so you might as well just like fuck it like fifth round pick some dude who went to ball state sure why not um jalen hurts is like he is he's a he's a good quarterback i don't know that he's a great one right he has moments of greatness bonus is greatness 30 of the time he is he is absolutely

spectacular but the other 50 is just kind of like yeah you're like you're pretty good right but i also don't think the eagles could draft like they're like there's no such thing as like a surefire QB absolute guaranteed hit we're like it's called the Cleveland Browns right like Trevor Lawrence or Trevor Lawrence who was drafted number one overall with like all this hype and then like he kind of stinks and like yeah he's on the Jaguars but he

still kind of stinks right yeah how many how many number one QB picks have probably the position that's had the most fucking stinkers many number one QB picks have? It's probably the position that's had the most fucking stinkers. Yeah. Number one QB. Okay. Number one overall quarterbacks.

All right. Let's do it. All right. So, okay. What is this? Okay. Caleb Williams, quarterback. Bryce Young, quarterback.

Trayvon Walker, for some reason. Defensive end out of Georgia for the Jaguars. Trevor Lawrence, quarterback. Joe Burrow, quarterback. Baker Mayfield, quarterback. Kyler Murray, quarterback. Miles Garrett. Jared Goff.

Jameis Winston. Jadavion Clowney, defensive end, Eric Fisher, tackle, who has retired, but it was really good. He went to Central Michigan. Andrew Luck, retired. Cam Newton, retired. Sam Bradford, dead.

Matthew Stafford. It's all DEs, quarterbacks, or tackles. Yeah, so here's the number. I found a USA Today list. It's the number here's that like i found a usa today list it's like number one uh quarterbacks like quarter all the quarterbacks will be drafted with the first overall pick bryce young trevor trevor lawrence joe burrow okay kyler murray like you said baker mayfield but then they get into the guys who are like or jared golf was a good pick but like james winston and jim marcus russell like yeah alex smith alex who got it was the

three-time pro bowler at least like yeah that yeah it's like it's like suddenly like they used to not draft cubies first overall well like they you go back and it's like at least it wasn't that consistent we're like peyton manning who was the last guy I can think of where he was like, this dude is like a surefire NFL caliber talent, no doubt. Right. Yeah, he's like top three to ever play the position. We keep going back, and it's like – I mean, there's quarterbacks. We're talking like the 40s and 50s when drafting just wasn't real.

So it says since 2000, 17 passers have been selected number one. But before that, I mean, there's as many as from 2000 as there are going back to 44. Right. And it's got Terry Bradshaw in 60. No, it's 73 or 70. I'm like, yeah, you got Bledsoe and Aikman and Vinny Testaverde. Vinny Testaverde. You've got Jeff George and then you do get a hit like John Elway. And then you get no QBs and then Steve Bartkowski.

Or like Jim Plunkett, who at least has two Super Bowls to his name, but like. Angelo Bartelli, the first one of the Boston Yanks out of Notre Dame. Yeah, Notre Dame. Actually, the first overall,

first overall draft pick for the Philadelphia Eagles, Jay Berwanger, winner of the Heisman Trophy at the university of chicago never played a doubt of football for the eagles berwanger i don't know dude i just like i just don't trust you to draft a good qb anymore like i think that the the the college game and the pro game are meaningfully like this now right where you get that that stupid, like we've talked about this a million times, you've got that stupid hypothetical, it's like well,

would Alabama beat Cleveland? No, they'd lose by 90 fucking points. They'd get run off the field in the first minute of the first quarter. The pro game is so fast and so hard and so difficult. Conditioning, like everything.

In muscle maturity, you have guys who are 28 30 right and who've been muscle and muscle memory and all this other stuff like i'm watching like ashton janty highlights right because it's amazing right right but how many of these any any any bounces off guys all right yeah you could bounce off of a safety um from utah state right but you're not balanced like like like yeah like a 20 21 year old safety you're not bouncing off of a 28 year old safety in the nfl right he's got you yeah right and like and and boise state like has like a lot of good blocking and stuff like that for him. But it's like, yeah, the translation to the NFL, it's another filter where you're taking, how much, 168 teams? Everyone.

134. 134? 134, yeah. And the best guys from each of those teams. Well, right. Exactly, right? It's like – They are all NFL players.

It's the thing i always say about like like when people like even like just in the hypothetical you go to college and even if you don't go to like the best but we'll say our beloved temple house as an example which is getting like at best three stars right we're not getting five stars that's yeah it was still we're getting there uh there's still the best dude on their team yeah they're still good football players they're better than us they're better than us and then you talk about a place like alabama everyone was the best player on their best high school in the country yeah travel ball so deal and then you go to the nfl this is what i've said it's

like do you remember when like luka donchic was like oh euro ball is so much harder than the nba and it's like that's true why don't you have why don't you have three natties why don't you have three rings dude right you don't even have one it's like the game is so much faster the game is so much different you simply do not understand that. It's guys with genetic gifts on top of drive. It's not just one thing. You can be really

great with natural talent. In college football, you can get away with just natural talent. You can also get away with just being really smart about it. But it's the combination of everything that makes an NFL player. Putting it all together. And that's... it but it's the combination of everything that makes makes an nfl player you know putting it all together and and that's you know um yeah i don't know how we got onto this uh this track uh talking about aj brown beef but the wip to get back to that like wip we're still gonna offer

better analysis uh than they are. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We also don't have Howard Eskin. Yeah, well, we'd rather swallow glass and have Howard Eskin. Yeah, so – No, this weekend they're playing the Steelers, and that's going to be a challenge. The Steelers. Although the last time Vic Fangio coached a defense against the Steelers, the Dolphins won by 50 points. Oh, wow. It wasn defense against the Steelers, the Dolphins won by 50 points.

Oh, wow. It wasn't against the Steelers, actually. It was against Russell Wilson. Fangio has been Russ's kryptonite, for what that's worth. As I've said on this show, as I'll say to anyone who listens, I will never count out a Mike Tomlin coached team. The man knows devil magic um his teams find ways to win in in ways that are excruciating to watch uh i don't mind the steelers i think mike tomlin is a doofus but i don't mind the steelers it'll be a good game uh we'll see hopefully we win

i just i don't want i you like, it makes me a bad thing. You kind of almost want a loss to be like a reset. Yeah. But like, I want them to beat the Steelers. The Steelers also like are really weird because Mike Tomlin coach teams play down to their competition, but also play up to their competition. So like they lose games, they should win and win games they should lose. So I think it'll be a gut check of which of the Eagles are actually good

because Mike Tomlin coach teams don't make any fucking sense. Yeah, I mean, I do think it's I do think, like, yeah, it could be like a come to Jesus type of game. One sec. Yeah. Yeah. No, for sure. What was I going to say? i just say though uh watching uh

zach bound run around he's pay him howie yeah that that he's been great he's been fucking great i love a good i'm a i'm a you know defense first you know i played defense, you know, I played defense, linebacker, like just a stout linebacker, the guy who's like in every play that I love to see it there. I grew up in the era of Jeremiah Trotter. So yes, it's, that's what you want.

I mean, I want to see that. Love it. Let's go on. Philly's. So we signed Jordan Romano. We did not get Juan Soto. We did not get Juan Soto. We did not get Juan Soto.

Juan Soto went to the fucking Mets. With the most expensive contract ever. 15 years. In sports. $765 million somehow. Yeah. Three quarters a billion. Get that bag.

I mean, yeah. Fucking pay up. Taking $765 million of Steve Cohen's many billions is a thing I'm fine with. Yeah, it just sucks that he's on the Mets. I hope this is some sort of elaborate sabotage job. I wonder what his low Mets is going to be. 0 for 3 in the World Series against the Red Sox somehow. Well, I think it's the Red Sox, the World Series.

They got the pitcher, Croucher. What's his name? Crochet. Crochet, yeah. Yeah. I did something. Maybe he's caught in flagrante delicto with Mrs. Met or something like that.

See the eyebrows there. Spread their cheeks, Mrs. Met or something like that. See the eyebrows there. Spread their cheeks. Mr. Soto, can you help me work on my swing? We don't have to tell Mr. Met. Oh, that loser? Don't worry about him. He'll be busy. Mr. Met. She's got, you know, he'll,

he'll be busy. Mr. Met has to sit in the cock chair. Yeah. Yeah. I was thinking like they got Mr. Met, like maybe Mr. Met, maybe Neurodivergent, they got him like a new Lego.

So he's just like really happy. He got the Shackleton Lego. What? So he's just distracted putting the, putting the endurance Lego together. Well, while she's like, like they're all on the same road. He's just like, the endurance Lego together? Well, while she's like,

they're all on the same road. He's just like, not now! Shut up! Don't get my Legos wet. Wet Legos. They're going to smell if the fluid gets between them

as I'm putting them together. I don't want to be on this podcast. I can see you just give up. But speaking of Phillies, speaking of dicks, the gallon into the Hall of Fame. Finally, maybe try doing it while they're alive. Yeah, let's

try doing that. But no, that's a little long time coming. That's good to say. How do we think the Phillies compete with the Mets this coming season? It's good to see. How do we think the Phils compete with the Mets this coming season? Bad, right? It's bad. I mean, they have our number every fucking time.

They do. It's bad. And now they have one, so it's bad. We didn't pick up anyone at the winter meetings. No, we just didn't do anything. They're shopping Alec Boehm, which is whatever. According to Dombo, no, they're not. Yes, they are. Yeah.

Fucking, well, they wanted Andrew Painter, apparently, for Crochet. Dombo was like, I don't want to trade him. I think he's going to be good. I hope so. I hope so. I hope the guys in the farm

system come up. And definitely are good as Juan Soto. Yeah. Dust is good. Established. What is Juan Soto? Like fucking 23 still? He's young as shit.

He's 25, I think. 26. Jesus Christ. Yeah. Oh, man. I can't wait for baseball. It's going to be so nice. I'm actually kind of dreading it a little bit. Yeah. Oh, man. I can't wait for baseball. It's going to be so nice. I'm actually kind of dreading it a little bit.

Yes. Yes, me too, man. I think it's February 12th, pitchers and catchers. I can't believe he was only on the Yanks for one season. Yo, he's been like a journeyman. It's kind of funny for such a – because he's just like going to new teams and just like racking that value up i i always think that uh the person like the the comp uh comparison i always had basketball that i thought would have been really funny was would be like uh quite lettered because he went

from like the spurs who drafted him or i think the pacers drafted and traded him away instantly uh to the spurs to the raptors to the clippers but i always thought it would be funny if he continued this legacy of like going to a team for a year winning a title and then just dipping just leaving like becoming like the best player ever in the history of like the atlanta hawks right like bringing them a title or like like instantly like uh i don't know like name a team that you don't give a shit about right right and just like instantly like oh yeah Reggie Miller never won the pace as a title but I sure did yeah

it's like yeah he just leaves like he's like you know like the Batman right like like flying away to that was my time to exit yeah enjoy your victory I must find a new team he's just walking like sadly in the back in the you walking sadly down a road.

The Incredible Hulk music. Yes, exactly what I was thinking. My fate is to help you win, not to enjoy the win. I'm doomed to wander the earth. Yeah. The wandering kawaii.

I also wanted to make that joke, but I was like, I'm not doing a wandering juju. It feels a little lowbrow. Alright, so you want to talk about Army-Navy? It's going to be great. It's going to be good. I think it's going to be actually a good one this year. It's going to be a good one. Yeah, with the

Pirates versus the 101st Airborne. Yeah, it's going to... The jerseys do slap. Sorry. As our one jingoistic thing of year go navy beat army yeah yeah i gotta agree um although the army uniforms this year are better uh and uh yeah army army what uh for the last uh um and their ranks poll the other ranks still 24 are they 22 uh no the ap ap they're 19 damn dude yeah yeah all right i don't give a shit um yeah so who we got for uh oh rank it here we go all right hold up one second college football football. They're ranked 22 by the CFP committee.

We might do a deep dive on another deep dive on how messed up college sports has gotten after this concludes. This shit show concludes. Because Alabama got left out and they should have been left out. Oh, no. They should have been left out. Oh, yeah. I mean, let's...

You want to go into the bracket a little bit? Yeah, we got... Yeah, I have it up now. Let's talk about it. So we've got... Oh, shit. Yeah, we're at 630. That's fine. All right. I wasn't sure if you had a hard out. Hang on one second. I can just...

I'll be a little late. It's fine. That's all right. And we only have one voicemail, so... And my beloved co-host has not responded. Well, that good. Good for us. Come on.

It means no go. In Spanish. It also means new in Latin. I know what it fucking means. The understanding was that it would just mean new in Spanish as well. That was the understanding. And people who think that that is funny should be

dumped out. That was in the Uncle John's bathroom reader. Yeah, I bet it was. That's where I learned a lot of things that were... You know, I don't want to admit it, but a little bit. He went to judge. Let's talk about this bracket.

All right. We got Clemson versus Texas. Why is Clemson here, dude? They lost the fucking ACC. They stink. Yeah, Texas is winning. Three loss. Clemson does not belong.

Like, yeah. No. I can't see why Bama is a little mad at that it's but bam also lost to vandy banda lost to vandy and six and six oklahoma like clemson at least lost to like like you look at their losses and it's like okay man like i i want to be i want to be i want to say that i'm on the right no they beat smu SMU. They won the ACC championship. SMU lost it. Oh, that's right. They beat, you know,

they lost to South Carolina 17-14. They lost to Louisville 33-21. Louisville at the time was 6-3. They finished 8-4. Okay. And they opened at getting their

a new hole given to them by Georgia 34-3. So we got that. Texas is going to win. Tennessee, Ohio State. I'm rooting against Ohio State. I'm rooting against Ohio State.

I don't really want to be rooting for the Vols, but here we are. Good old Rocky Top. Good old Rocky Top. I can't really want to be rooting for the Vols, but here we are. Good old Rocky Top. Good old Rocky Top. I can't. Fucking Raj took it out. I love that he does that. Yeah.

He only takes out – he never touches the first four, though. He's lazy. Yeah. So Arizona State gets the winner of Clemson, Texas. It's going to be Texas. Texas is going to the Cotton Bowl, where I think they will probably lose to Oregon. Yeah, I wasmson, Texas. It's going to be Texas. Texas is going to the Cotton Bowl, where I think they will probably lose to Oregon. Yeah, I was thinking that too. I guess Tennessee, just fuck you, Ohio State,

loses to Oregon. Yeah, I think that that's probably right. As Oregon did beat Ohio State, see them again. I do think a Tennessee-Oregon game is also a much more interesting matchup. The cool thing about this 12-team bracket, which I think that they

are probably going to do two years of and then they're going to expand this to 16, which is insane. That's how they do it for FCS ball. 128. That's how they do it for FCS ball. Fair. They do do it. We've got SMU

with Lions. SMU's losing that game, aren't they? Yeah, but we're rooting against... We're never rooting for Penn State. SMU and Temple have the same colors. Red. Pony Express, baby! There we go.

What's the pony what's the pony's name their mascot doesn't have a name oh it's got a weird name i think peruna yeah it sounds like a fucking a fucking uh like finnish god i know it's listen man or or uh dog food yeah it's it's actually apparently a prohibition reference but who's to say who knows uh i think penn state actually does probably i've changed my mind does probably lose this game because james franklin can't coach uh they could they could lose they could lose i do think think. I would love that. I know Boise State has the buy. Yeah. Boise State is going to get

to the Orange Bowl. There is no stopping Ashton Genting. There isn't. I'm not going to say yet, but I have a vision of the Natty, but I'm not going to say yet because we have to talk. Alright. This game. So SMU, I will say if we get SMU Arizona State,

Natty, I will actually be pretty pleased. Just like absurdly weird games. Yeah. That would be a weird game. I mean, I'm kind of hoping Boise State, Oregon. I mean, that's a rebatch. Yeah. Boise State lost to Oregon by three this year.

Yeah. Get their get back. I like that. I am kind of State lost to Oregon by three this year. Yeah, get their get back. I like that. I am kind of looking forward to this is the game I'm looking forward to the most the first round. I'll also watch. I'll also take Indiana Tennessee because that's weird as shit. So Indiana

plays Notre Dame and the winner of that gets the right to lose to Georgia. The All-State Sugar Bowl. I'm rooting for Georgia to lose to georgia uh the all-state sugar bowl i'm i'm rooting for georgia to lose i don't care for georgia i don't care for smart i don't care georgia yeah me too i want carse back to cry more uh he's probably out for the next game wow it really is auto-focusing hang on let me oh there you go you have to give it a second to focus.

I would love to fucking see it. It would be a rematch of when they beat the Klan. One of the 18 different origin stories for the name of Fighting Irish. Fighting 69th, right? That's one of them. Another one is that they fought

the Klan when the Klan rolled up the South Bend. Oh, okay. Indiana is full of the Klan still. Also tracks, yeah. So yeah, Georgia Boise State, if they end up playing that's a good matchup.

Interesting. I don't know who wins. Georgia might have the only defense that could stop Ashton Janty. Well, good news. I don't think I'm recording WTYP. Oh, okay. We'll just do it on this episode. I'm Rusty Rostiak. My pronouns are

But Fordham did give USC a run. Good. Yeah. Wow, the West Coast really is good at water polo. Yeah, it doesn't shock me. Long Beach State versus Fordham. California. Damn, it's like all West Virginia.

I'm texting. I'm texting while recording. I see you texting. I see you texting. I was looking at the notes for a second. Yeah, Liam just showed me his cell phone. All right, voicemails. We got one voicemail from Isaac. They, them.

Let me click on it. You ready for the voicemail? I am. All right. Hey, Tom. Hey, Liam. It's Isaac. Hey, Liam.

They, them pronouns. I've called before about the Detroit Pistons. Hey, Tom. Yay, Liam. It's Isaac. They, them pronouns. I've called before about the Detroit Pistons. Oh, buddy. They're doing better. But this call isn't about them or the fact that I've gotten back into being a Detroit sports fan because... I'm so sorry. Well, because the Lions. Pain and suffering are not new to me.

I've gotten into football. Can you guess why? It's because of the Lions. Hey, man. Record-breaking year. Amazing. Hell of a run so far. I just saw an awful fake on Elon Musk's X.com, the everything app,

that some dumbass on ESPN said that the Lions need to stop playing like they are because they're on top now. Just really want to vent about how fucking stupid that is, because why would you stop playing the way that makes you the best team in the NFL? Wanted to know your thoughts on it, if you've seen similar dumb shit. I don't know if it's just because I've internalized the Detroit versus everybody mentality.

You're right, Tal. Absolutely. It feels good to have a team that is so hated by especially everyone else in our conference. Cheers to you Bears fans and Packers fans. Fuck you, Tyreek Stevenson. And also just kind of a general level of hate by the rest of the general public. Yeah, that's all my thoughts. As always, go Pistons, fuck Penn State,

but I will make Monty Williams pay for his crimes. Fair enough. That's juicy. Tyreek Stevenson is going to get benched. He stinks. What was is going to get badged. He stinks. What was I going to say? I have the link in the show notes which it was Teddy Bruschi. Yes. Former New England

Patriot. Yeah. There's no more ankles and kneecaps to bite you're on top start playing like it and coaching it no fuck you what what a stupid take like please send in dumb takes we need we need them but like yeah why i'll put the link in the show notes you You can listen to yourself. Stupid. Just stupid. Yeah, let's stop doing what works. We're going to keep doing what works. Yeah, it's fucking dumb. More on take.

More on take. That's absolutely idiotic. I love guys who just feel like they need to make a take just to take it. Right, exactly. Exactly. Stupid. You're not in the NFL anymore. Shut up. Yeah, be quiet. Right, exactly. Exactly. Stupid. You're not in the NFL anymore. Shut up. Yeah, be quiet.
