The Bobby Bones Show - 25W: Around the Room: What is Your Best Physical Trait? + Why Eddie Has Already Cursed the Patriots and Rams + Former NFL C Mitch Morse on Harry Potter Influencing Him to Retire 

Episode Date: January 22, 2026

This episode of 25 Whistles has a classic “Around the Room” debate that turns into a full-on self-scout: what’s your best physical trait, and can you defend it? Then Eddie makes... his picks this weekend which means he’s already jinxed the Patriots and Rams, and the guys try to figure out if it’s an actual curse or just Eddie being Eddie. Plus, former NFL center Mitch Morse joins us to talk retirement, what he misses (and doesn’t), and how Harry Potter ended up shaping the way he thought about stepping away from the game.   Download the DraftKings Sportsbook App today: https://dkng.co/bobbysports If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, crisis counseling and referral services can be accessed by calling 1-800-GAMBLER (1-800-426-2537) (IL/IN/MI/NJ/PA/WV/WY), 1-800-NEXT STEP (AZ), 1-800-522-4700 (CO/NH), 888-789-7777/visit http://ccpg.org/chat (CT), 1-800-BETS OFF (IA), 1-877-770-STOP (7867) (LA), 877-8-HOPENY/text HOPENY (467369) (NY), visit OPGR.org (OR), call/text TN REDLINE 1-800-889-9789 (TN), or 1-888-532-3500 (VA).21+ (18+ WY).

And I like to order drinks.
Starting point is 00:04:06 I like a lot of drinks. I'm a big drink guy. If I'm ordering food, I'm sampling the array of drinks. And I'm not talking about like sodas, but if they have any kind of specialty drink, I'm getting it. Oh, I was frescas. You know what that is? Do you know what that is? Owas frescoes.
Starting point is 00:04:23 It's fresh water, but it's like pineapple water. Oh, I don't ever get that. Strawberry water. Oh, that sounds good. Like I went to Chick-fil-A the other day or ordered and ordered a regular sweet tea, then I ordered one with strawberry syrup. Is that good? And a lot of times, yeah, it's great, actually.
Starting point is 00:04:38 A lot of times. Well, it was an option. If I don't know, I'll get it and then get another one in case I don't like that one. This is a big drink guy. And so there's something here. I'm going to order for this Mexican restaurant. It's called a Harache.
Starting point is 00:04:49 What does that mean? Spell it. H-U-A-R-C-H-E. Everyone looks at Mike. Spell it against ours. H-U-A-R-C-H-H-E. What at you? Okay, but that's a sandal.
Starting point is 00:05:04 But it's a type of food, too. Is it not a drink? No. Oh. Is it under drinks? If it's Or Shata, that's a, That's a drink. What's an athletic surveza?
Starting point is 00:05:12 Oh, that's a beer, dude. That's, oh, oh, athletic brand beer. That's non-alcoholic. Oh, that's a brand? Yeah, non-alcoholic. Now you work out and you drink it. Oh, I didn't know if it was like health or like a, you know how they have like a, what they call it beer? Like a, like a, like a, McAlobalchre.
Starting point is 00:05:29 No, no, no. They have, they call it beer. It's like a kind of like a, it's not a root beer. Oh, oh, oh, oh, like a root. No. It has the word beer. Like a ginger beer. It's not beer.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Thank you. It's not beer. Okay. I don't know if that was like an athletics or vase. It was like a ginger beer. No, athletics are brand and they have all non-alcoholic beer. What about N.A. bloody?
Starting point is 00:05:49 Non-alcoholic Bloody Mary. Okay, I don't want any of this then. This is all bad. This is not got a good drink selection. Have you ever had a Bloody Mary virgin? No, because I don't feel like I'd like a virgin tomato. Really? Dude, a Bloody Mary is delicious.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Like really good. It's too savory. But I will even say that the vodka in the Bloody Mary kind of ruins the Bloody Mary a little bit. So I just don't like savory stuff. You don't like savory drinks? You don't like salty, salty drinks? Not really. I like salt. I'll go to Mexican places and I'll get a fruity drink and have a salt on the rim. There we go. And then I'll just lick it. Oh. And they're judging you. I love a salty rim. Give the drink back. Have you had or chata? I don't know what that is. That's like a rice milk. Yeah. It's, it's almost like, how would you just go out? I think I would be
Starting point is 00:06:33 nervous to order it because I don't know what it is. So I probably wouldn't order a or shata. It's pretty sweet. I mean, it's, I would, I would classify it like a, I mean, it's like milk, but it's, it's almost like an almond milk, but a, a sweeter almond milk. Like ice cold. Okay, I made my order. What did you get? What did you get? A burrito.
Starting point is 00:06:52 After all that. Well, you're not going to try the what I chew. He said, it was a sandal. Yeah, but it's called a sandal, but it's really a food. You're not ordering a sandal. I didn't want to order a sandal. I literally took that as a sandal. I didn't need it.
Starting point is 00:07:06 It looks like a sandal. Like the base of it looks like a sandal. Is it a fruity drink? No, it's a food. It's a food. He's telling you. No, I got a burrito. I thought I was on the drinks tab.
Starting point is 00:07:15 What's in your burrito? Dude, I'm so curious about your Mexican food order. It's so generic and basic because I can't have cheese. Okay, so you have meat, like protein? What's your protein? Chicken? Yeah, chicken and rice. Beans.
Starting point is 00:07:26 And beans? That's all I can have. Solid, dude. Put some pico. No salsa, no nothing? Yeah, salsa. It comes on the side. I order the triple salsa.
Starting point is 00:07:34 It's triple heat salsa or? It's three different kinds of sauces. Oh. And it comes with guac. So I get the chips. and triple salsa. There we go. Yeah, they're good.
Starting point is 00:07:40 And one's orange, one's green, one's red. The orange is the hottest. Yeah, that's probably a habanero. A baronero, yeah. Sosa. It's a place we go all the time called maize. Mice, corn. And you go on in the walls, all corn.
Starting point is 00:07:52 It's made the walls made of corn. It used to be a food truck here in town. And it was so. And I think it's still a food truck, but also they need it to a restaurant. Maybe another one. This one's like right up the road. Okay, no one. But it's awesome.
Starting point is 00:08:04 I order from there once a week. We go there once every couple weeks. But I'm glad you guys could experience that. with me. That was actually fun. Well, I just didn't know what the drink selection was there. You may want to think twice if you want to get a photo with Mr. Beast. So he
Starting point is 00:08:18 says that people asking for a photo with him feels like a death sentence. Why? He just doesn't like taking pictures of people? Basically. He said it's like a death sentence if you're not quick because you take photos in public, everybody's going to turn around and then lines for him and then
Starting point is 00:08:34 you're just there taking pictures the whole time. So he doesn't like to take pictures with people because he knows that'll equal far more pictures with far more people. You roll your eyes. Go ahead. Yes, it's so dumb. You can handle all that. Like, I think Theo Vaughn does a really good job.
Starting point is 00:08:46 I've seen videos of him where he walks out. He's like, guys, I'm just going to be real with you. I've got to be somewhere in two minutes. So if you want to take a group picture, we'll all do it. And then I got to roll. And then he does that. And then he leaves. The line, relax.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Honestly, I don't think half the people recognize Mr. Beast. I know, we know his name. I think you're old. I think that's a very old person thing to say. You're telling me I've never seen one of his videos But I know who he is You know what he looks like
Starting point is 00:09:11 If you saw him on the street Yeah Would I take a picture? Probably not But yes You're old by saying that Mike Super old dude
Starting point is 00:09:18 He's the most followed YouTube account He's very famous I think he's dumb to think That if he took one picture The whole freaking street Will stop me And he has a young fan
Starting point is 00:09:27 So you see a bunch of kids out They're all gonna know Who Mr. Beast is He says he's literally been kicked out of Walmart Because of it Oh he did it at Walmart And Walmart
Starting point is 00:09:35 I'm surprised he's at Walmart I think that's the part that I was surprised by. I mean, almost half a billion subscribers on YouTube. No, I get it. But you don't because you were like, he's not famous. No, he's way more famous. Name somebody. Like Arnie Texx, the guy I follow on TikTok, he cooks Mexican food.
Starting point is 00:09:51 He's legit, right? And I know I watch all his videos. But if I saw him on the street, I probably wouldn't even think that's Arne Tech's. But that's not Mr. Beast. He's still pretty big on TikTok, but not huge. I understand. What about I show speed? Never seen him before.
Starting point is 00:10:05 So he's super famous. He's not Mr. Bees famous because Mr. Bees was that famous plus he's so big that corporations wanted to get involved with him. And he's got food. Mr. Bees is wildly famous. The Paul brothers. No, I don't know. Speed is super famous. But Mr. Bees is a different level.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Logan Jake. Those dudes, I get it. Like, you can't mistake. Like, I still think Mr. Beast kind of still looks like a normal dude that doesn't. You see Jake Paul. You're like, oh, that's Jake Paul, no doubt. My problem in Mr. Beast is he doesn't look like a beast. To have a name like Mr. Beast,
Starting point is 00:10:35 I always feel he should be a little more beast-like. Yeah. Or a big dude. Yeah. He's not. Do we know how he got his name? Gamer tag. He started it out streaming.
Starting point is 00:10:44 Okay. What's your gamer tag? My gamer tag is, I think it's Bobby Bones, bones, because someone had jacked my name. And so I just made that up real quick. So that would be your Mr. Beast, Bobby Bones, bones. No, my name. My Mr. Beasts is Bobby Bones.
Starting point is 00:10:58 It's not even my real name. Oh, okay. That's true. That's true. Huh. Yeah. Mine is smoking Eto, because I had I got hacked.
Starting point is 00:11:05 I think producer Eddie was my name and that got hacked and then I'm smoking eddo now. But I meant by like smoking chicken. That's why I created it. Oh, everybody thinks you're yeah. Yeah. So I'll be like, what's up? I started playing MVP2K and they're like, yeah, you're smoking too, dude. I think you're like smoking dudes and games.
Starting point is 00:11:20 You know what I mean? Oh, that too. Yeah. Complex with that story there. How you doing? I'm good, man. I'm good. Cold, but I'm good.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Checking out. You're not betting. I bet last night on. Oh, you're back? It was just a late night bet. I think. No, no, there's not a, it doesn't count as much if it's late night. It's still a bill.
Starting point is 00:11:38 Like the value doesn't go down. Texas A&M, Cincinnati. But the significance was you weren't betting. Arizona, Cincinnati. Basketball. And was it an Arizona game? So it was way later. It was later.
Starting point is 00:11:50 And it was towards the end. And I was just like, oh, let me just throw this $5 on this and see what happens. And I hit it. Three in a row, baby. Three in a row. I'm back. And I just, to me, to me, dude. You're back.
Starting point is 00:12:03 To me that that New England's Patriots line, that's, that's too little. Like, what is it, minus four and a half? That's too little. Stay away from that. It's minus five and a half right now. Okay, so that's what I'm saying. See, it's moving so quickly. By the time this podcast over, it's going to be minus eight and a half.
Starting point is 00:12:17 We've got to get on that now. Stay away, Eddie. You are kind of a curse. Why, though? Like, why am I a curse? Because anytime you hop on something, we tend to lose. I don't disagree with that. But I don't understand why I'm the curse.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Oh, you don't know why. I don't understand it. You're not arguing that you're not a curse. You just don't know why you're cursed. I've seen it too many times and you guys remind me every single time. Yeah. Oh, great. Eddie's on this now.
Starting point is 00:12:41 We're going to lose it. And what do we do? We lose it. What's the deal? So do you think you'll stay if the Patriots win? Because we're going to go out to San Francisco. I'm 50-50 now. Are you only 50-50 because you don't want to say yes because if you commit to it, it makes a
Starting point is 00:12:56 no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no. No, I'm 50-50 because it's going to cost a lot of money. That's why I'm 50-50. It was a once in a lifetime. You'll already be out there, though, paid for. So the travel, no money. But I will have to pay for two nights of myself and the game ticket and then the drinks and the food for two or three days, which adds up quick.
Starting point is 00:13:17 It's your own. It's your own team in the Super Bowl, though. I know. Dude, sacrifice. You're like the drinks, man. I got a little ones now I got to think about, like the future stuff and everything. And it's just like when they're like three, you have to actually care about them. But I got to start that now.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Like, you know, start putting stuff into accounts for them. You know, $1,000. What's your advice about that? Dude, it just, I never like, it was. Yeah, how was that going for? I was paycheck to paycheck. I'm still paycheck to paycheck. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:13:45 But you know what, but you know what, though? They're not starving and they've eaten. But I'm talking about college funds. I'm talking about cars. All that stuff. Yeah. He's got a point. They're not starving.
Starting point is 00:13:53 They're living, dude. They're very happy. We're going to keep it that way. Did you know Jared Stedham was a top two recruit? Uh-uh. Behind only Kyler Murray in high school. when, Kyle Murray was legendary
Starting point is 00:14:02 in high school. So, Kyler Murray was number one, Texas A&M. This is Dual Threat quarterbacks.
Starting point is 00:14:09 Jared Sidham, Baylor, but he ended up going to Auburn. DeAndre Francois? Do you remember him? No. You would
Starting point is 00:14:18 have he saw a picture number 12 for Florida State. What about him would be? He was good. Like, he was good.
Starting point is 00:14:25 He started for a few years. He was number three. Brandon Wimbush at Notre Dame, Duane Lawson at Virginia Tech. Sherryon Jones at Tennessee.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Are these, was the only second because everybody else sucked? Yeah, I don't know those names. Winbush, he was a lefty at Notre Dame. Oh,
Starting point is 00:14:38 I'm sure they all were real people. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is 2015. But some of the guys. Joe Burrow was nine. Yeah. Is it a dual threat? To Ohio State, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:48 And Kelly Bryant at Clemson's. I remember Kelly Bryant. Lamar Jackson was at number 17. Wow. Louisville. Ranking has been nothing, man. But are we, are we scraping here?
Starting point is 00:14:58 Like, what do you mean? I mean, we're talking Stidoms, like, Did you know, like, well, we're looking for anything to be like, guys, he could really pull this off? Oh, I think it's just fun fact more than anything else. I'm not saying that he was a top two recruit. He's going to win this game.
Starting point is 00:15:12 I just feel like everyone's just like, let's scrape anything we got on him so we can make this a game. I don't think he can pull it off. I'm not a Patriots fan, so I'm okay with saying that because I don't feel like I can jinx it. I don't think that they'll pull it off. I don't think they're going to ask a lot of him. The Broncos. Yes, so I think he can probably pull off what's being asked of him. I think the problem will be if they get down.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Yeah. If they get down 10 points or so, it's going to be on him. Yeah. And then it's make or break by Stidom. You think I think Dobbins came off the IR. He's like eligible to practice. They haven't said he's playing or not. Do you think that would be a big factor?
Starting point is 00:15:48 They have Harvey, the rookie. But if they can run, obviously, that helps him. They are going to run. Yeah, they have to. They're going to run. And their all lines good. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:56 They're good. They're good. Offensively. They're great defensively. but they're good to good plus with Bo Nicks. How are the Patriots against the run? Been a lot better since Milton Williams. DeTackle, he came back, Barmore.
Starting point is 00:16:09 I mean, you've seen the last two games. They've allowed one touchdown, two playoff games. Hey, are you lying about your shoulder? What do you mean? So Kevin's still in a sling. There have been people... There have been Eddie. No.
Starting point is 00:16:21 He didn't say that. And he's not even looking at me. I wasn't even looking at him. I just heard the word lie. And I'm like, go ahead, Kevin. There have been people saying that you're using your shoulder and how long. that you've been injured as a way to garner sympathy, that you've been telling people at work,
Starting point is 00:16:33 it's going to be seven months. Seven months? I never said seven months. Wow, seven months? No. So was Eddie? He didn't say that. The physical therapy part of it.
Starting point is 00:16:46 So I went last week when I was at physical therapy, and I was supposed to get the sling off next week. Thank God. And I was like, hey, you know, when I get done with the sling, I got what, like a month left or something of physical therapy? He's like, dude, you're here until like June or July. I didn't know that. I didn't realize the entire process of physical therapy takes that long,
Starting point is 00:17:04 but I didn't say seven months. But, I mean, that is five to six. Six months. So you haven't said that to any girls in the office? I know, I know who you're talking about. I didn't say seven months. Because it ain't Bobby. It ain't Mike, and it definitely is not braided.
Starting point is 00:17:21 You don't know that. No, I've never said seven months. I said to June or July. I mean, that's seven months. Six months. You feeling good, though? Yeah, I'm ready to get out, man. I'm getting all kind of good range of motion at physical therapy.
Starting point is 00:17:36 I'm trying to be like Adrian Peterson. It sucks. Physical therapy sucks. It hurts. Yeah, it does. You're going every week now? Sometimes twice a week. You're still going too, huh?
Starting point is 00:17:44 Twice a week. I only, I got into this thing, I forget what it's called, but it's like an anti-gravity treadmill. And they say that because it takes 30 to 40% of your weight off when you run. And so I had surgery on my ankle. And what you do is you get in this hula hoop type thing. and you zip into it and they blow up the air. So it makes you hover a little bit?
Starting point is 00:18:04 I'm a little. And so I'm running and they have it on five and a half or so. And I'm doing one minute intervals. And I feel my ankle go shock right in my ankle. And I'm like, done, out, done. And it hurt bad where I thought I was done and re-injured it. And my doctor was like, no, no, no. It's going to hurt.
Starting point is 00:18:21 When that happens, stop. And so I didn't get on the treadmill again the next week. But now I do a lot of stuff where I stand on one foot and catch a ball. because I've got to like put weight to move in different directions. On the other foot or on that foot? On that foot. Ouch. Who's throwing you the ball?
Starting point is 00:18:35 The doctor? People just walking by. There you. Catch this. That's like Home Depot. Physical therapist. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:41 So if I'm going twice a week, I got to get it better. Are you, I'm like, I feel like an athlete. I'm like motivated. I'm like, if I need to get here three times, let me know I need to get this thing better. I've just put on probably 10 pounds because I can't run. I can't really do anything active. And so. I just don't want to be fat anymore.
Starting point is 00:18:59 Because it feels like I'm fat in my body because I'm not used to having this extra 10 pounds. You're not though. Yeah, you don't look. You look good, dude. Shut up, both of you. Do not think you're fat. You're not. You're not.
Starting point is 00:19:07 You, Mr. Bees. Hey, so is that your goal to not be fat like right now or is it your goal to be like, I want to get back to the pickleball court? I miss competing in anything. And also, there have been things that we have not done, like, go to Tennessee basketball and, and like, do that, shoot with them because I can't, I'm not going to go and be on a freaking crutch. So I just like to be back to normal.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Okay. But I got to be back to normal before my wife has a baby. Yeah, that too. Do you ever get, you kind of touch on a little bit, but like every time I feel a little hurt in my shoulder, I'm like, oh, no. Yeah, I'm screwed for another month. But then you talk to your doctor or the physical therapist. They're like, no, that's totally normal.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Like, okay. What was weird was it's so weak because I didn't use it for three months and it had to be surgically repaired. So like I'm doing calf raises and I start to get tired. Just doing calf raises. That's like the weeniest workout you could possibly do. And so, yeah, that's been weird. You're like out of breath doing cats?
Starting point is 00:19:57 phrases? No, but I just, my leg gets completely fatigued. Got you. Do you see a size difference in your legs? No, it's been three months. My arms. Your legs look good, dude. No, my arms, though, I've lost a little, really. Like tone? You lost some tone on that. Look, I don't have an extremely muscular body, but I had pretty good arms. For a minute there, dude, you're looking pretty good. Because I'm a pretty thin guy and my arms are pretty good. I've kind of lost a little bit. Yeah. That sucks. You'll get it back, man. What about you? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Oh, yeah, same. I mean, I'm kind of the same where, like, you know, you have your strengths and your weaknesses. I feel like my arms and shoulders are one of my strengths. Yeah. And so I'm like, what's your body strength? Like the strongest? No, no. What's like the, if some woman you didn't know had to look at your whole body and pick the thing they were most attracted to.
Starting point is 00:20:48 It can't be your wife because she knows you as a human and she'll be kind. She would be most attracted to, like any part, not just muzzle? Stop. Stop it. Because I mean, my, my biceps are pretty good. What's your best, what's your most attractive body part? It's easy. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:21:05 My eyelashes. The women love my eyelashes. I get, dude, I get it all the time. And they won't say like, oh my gosh, they're so hot. What they tell me is, gosh, you have great eyelashes. Like, every woman would be jealous to have those. I've never once thought about your eyelashes. Never.
Starting point is 00:21:22 You have big, thick eyebrows. They never say anything more eyebrows. Maybe they're so blown away to how thick your eyebrows are. And you catch them staring and like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, your eyelashes. Why can't you just accept that they like my eyelashes? They might. I just don't notice eyelashes at all. Yeah, well, the girls like it.
Starting point is 00:21:37 Yeah. Kevin, you? Mine are my eyes, the blue eyes. I'm just saying, guys, hey, my whole family has him. Dude, till this day, my dad is 65 years old and he still gets compliment on him. And they got handed down to me, my brother, my sister, my babies. What do they say? What do they say?
Starting point is 00:21:56 Damn, you have such beautiful eyes. Yeah, like your eyes are so blue. Oh, my gosh. I know. Thanks. All right. What you got, dude? Don't even don't.
Starting point is 00:22:06 What? What would I say? You don't know what I'm going to say? What do you think is my best body part? Because I know what I'm going to say. What do I think? Yeah. So it doesn't have to be external, right?
Starting point is 00:22:16 Like your brain. My kidney? Oh, no. You got a good brain. It's got to be somebody that they can just see physically. Yeah, no. Not see. Yeah, no.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Because I have what my quick answer is. is. Hair. My hair. Yes. You get powerful, dude. It's strong. It's powerful.
Starting point is 00:22:32 The girl that cuts my hair, sometimes she has to cut it like three times in a month. She's like, man, it's great. If I have something to do, she's like this grows like nothing else. And I bet to her it's fun. It's like it's a clean blank canvas, dude. And she can just do whatever with it. I don't give her any direction. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:51 She's like, what do you want to do this time? Whatever you feel. That's awesome. Because I know if it. ain't good, it'll grow back. All I have to do to get my hair to grow is like this. And it grows back. I just, I just squeeze.
Starting point is 00:23:02 And it grows out of my head. Dude, you know what? It's like I'm pooping. Do you get lightheaded? I do that and my hair grows. When I would get my haircut and like, I had a little bit of hair, I'd always do that too. Like, do whatever you want.
Starting point is 00:23:14 Like, there's only one thing we can do to this. It's trim it. It's not much, man. Like, that's why I decided to shave at all. Do you ever go to the barber for like your beard or anything? Never. No, I'm done with that. I got LASIC from my eyes.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Never have to go to the eye dog. So you could see that you're missing hair? Yeah, what does that have to do with your beards? I'm just saying I used to go to the eye doctor all the time. I had to go like twice a year. Don't have to do that anymore. And I don't have to get my haircut anymore, ever. Bald head's good on you.
Starting point is 00:23:38 Yeah. Thank you, man. I, dude, I'm kind of back to the hat because I just, I don't know. I don't. What's weird is I look in the mirror and I'm like, dang, I look just like my dad. You do look just like your dad though now because you're also getting older. Yeah, I'm older. What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:23:50 Like, because my dad was like 72. Yeah, but like. I'm not 72. No, you're starting to get older. And my version of him is probably from 15 years ago when I first met him and you. Maybe longer than that now. And he was bald, right? Yeah, bald.
Starting point is 00:24:04 Yeah. And you remember him at the age that you're at now, probably. You know what I mean? When he was my age, he had hair. Like, he still had hair. It was like bald in a circle. He needed a mustache. Was it a cold sack?
Starting point is 00:24:15 He had a mustache for so long. And I've thought about like, no, that looks gross. Why? People do it, dude? Some country artists? Yeah, Riley green. Riley green, dude. Morgan Wallin, they pull it off.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Why can't we pull it off? Because they're Riley Green and Morgan Wallen. Fair enough. How do you say green in Spanish? Verde. You'd be Riley Verde. All right. So let's knock out a parlay here.
Starting point is 00:24:41 We got Patriots minus five and a half at the Broncos with draft kings. What do you got? That's a no-brainer, dude. Okay. You're taking the Broncos? You got to take the Patriots. So Patriots minus five and a half. I mean, guys, it's like the Seahawks-Niners game.
Starting point is 00:24:55 murder row okay Patriots minus five and a half consider it done Rams at Seahawks Eddie Seahawks minus two and a half Let's say it on the count of three Rams plus two I was going to say that too
Starting point is 00:25:10 Golly okay right so you're taking Rams plus two and a half yeah you really want to make some scratch that money line You really want to make some scratch What you got? What's you thinking? He's scratching his head I like this
Starting point is 00:25:25 I'm going to go drag over 229 passing. So we'll do that. We'll do Patriots minus 5.5. Rams plus 2.5. Drake May plus 229 passing. Then you're loving those passing yards. Yeah, because most of them, I don't want to be the guess
Starting point is 00:25:42 most of the time I hit because I don't. I feel pretty good. I feel pretty confident in those. I think I hit more of those. Those are fun. What's your magic number? You're like 200? Around 200.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Depends. If it's CJ Stroud, like 80. But sometimes. I go to Drexie. I move it back. No, go. 80. We don't even offer that, actually.

Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield. And in this new season of the girlfriends,
Starting point is 00:29:26 Oh my God, this is the same man. a group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed.
Starting point is 00:29:44 I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. All right, we want to go now to long-time NFL center Mitch Morris, who played with Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City, with Josh Allen in Buffalo.
Starting point is 00:30:13 Then he ended up with Jacksonville. That's where he retired. And in Jacksonville, Eddie, he played with. Trevor Lawrence. That is correct. So Mitch was drafted by the Chiefs in 2015, played for 10 years in the league. Also, before we went on,
Starting point is 00:30:25 he grew up in Austin, which is where, you know, I kind of grew up doing radio. So he was a fan of the radio show. That's awesome. When he was going to high school. So that's pretty crazy. But you can check out his podcast, Monday mornings with Mitch, wherever you get your podcast.
Starting point is 00:30:36 I think you'll like him. Here he is. Mitch Morse. All right, let's bring on Mitch Morse now, who played for the Chiefs, the Bills, the Jaguars. He's got a podcast called Monday mornings with Mitch. And I assume that comes out on Monday. I didn't do the research on that. I just assume Mitch that comes out every Monday.
Starting point is 00:30:52 It does. And it turns out Monday mornings in NFL season where football contents, a diaper pale in regards to people coming and checking you out. But it's been fun, dude. Yeah, that was a safe assumption, my friend. I want to roll through your teams at first because you played for three teams. The Chiefs drafted you, right? They did, yes, sir.
Starting point is 00:31:11 And so looking back at 2025 for the Chiefs, you know, they have some decisions to make. They have some decisions to be made, which is one is Kelsey coming back. But what are they going to have to do to kind of get back in the mix next year? Wow, yeah. I mean, great question because if you had told me that their season went end like this and that kind of strife, I would have told you you're crazy because, I mean, it felt like they were just going to reload and revamp and get going. But, you know, it's interesting. So you see like a guy like Patrick Mahomes or I assume a Josh Allen here soon or Tom, like, so Tom Brady.
Starting point is 00:31:45 He's on the same team but had four, three or four different iterations of the same team. Like it's just going to have these influx of core guys and players. And you're going to have to go through this shift because from the outside looking in, I have no idea what happened. And, you know, I have the utmost respect for Coach Reed and that core of leaders there. They've done a great job and they've won big games and big moments. And I think this is one of those seasons of change. And if you had a pill that could tell you exactly what was wrong, you'd be a billionaire because no one really knows.
Starting point is 00:32:18 You know, with the Chiefs, they've drafted pretty well, except for the receiver spot. And that's the thing that you mentioned New England. and they had trouble drafting receivers as well. And you've got to draft well to consistently be good because that's where you're saving money, right? You're paying those rookie contracts. But you got a bunch of money going into Travis Kelsey. Do you want Travis Kelsey to retire if you're the chief so you have that money?
Starting point is 00:32:41 Absolutely not. Of course, I have some skin in the game. He's a tremendous leader. I mean, talk about a rallying cry for a team in a locker room. You can't refute his production this year was impressive, especially when everyone was kind of down, I'm going into his 13th season. I mean, granted, you have to look at it pragmatically
Starting point is 00:33:00 going into year 14, your depreciating asset in the NFL, but I mean, the Kelsey brothers have a proven record of being able to perform well into year 14 and 15. If you look at his brother, that being said, I mean, you could talk to a guy, you could have Canaan conversations.
Starting point is 00:33:18 You've garnered this relationship where you're able to have these conversations with Travis if he wants to take a pay cut or if not, or how he envisions his season or his career ending, rather. So, you know, a long, long way of answering that question, which I would say, absolutely, you do not want Travis Kelsey to retire. How did you know when it was time to retire? Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:33:40 You know, that's a great question. I was, first of all, we'd played overseas because the Jags play a bunch of overseas. And we were doing a two-week stint. We played the Bears and then we were going to play in New England. And where we were staying was called the Grove, it's this unbelievable kind of resort. golf place where a lot of actors stay because there's a studio where they film a bunch of movies right there. And we were staying there. And we just kind of got pounded by the bears. And I had played a terrible game and kind of coached kind of put me up on a poster board and kind of
Starting point is 00:34:09 reamed me. And rightfully so, I played terrible. But I had had tickets because it was right next to where they had filmed Harry Potter, like literally a mile away. So I go to Harry Potter. I'm walking through Harry Potterland. I'm on platform nine and three quarters. And I'm looking around. And I'm like, I don't want to play football anymore. I don't want to be a wizard either. But like, I, you know, it's just, I ended you go back and you had this conversation with your wife. And, you know, it's just I had found there's two, there's two schools of thought in this, which is quit while you're ahead or play one more year than you think. And I definitely went for the latter.
Starting point is 00:34:43 And I appreciate that because it gave you some clarity and some closure on this. But that being said, you also catch yourself on film. And you're like, who the hell is that? Because you're telling your body. Talk about depreciating ass you. You're telling your body, right, run this way, go this fast, reach the linebackers. And your legs are chugging as fast as they can. Your body does not respond like it used to.
Starting point is 00:35:04 So that's a very humbling experience in itself and definitely helps play a role into making that decision. Isn't it hard, though, to give up the money? Because, again, and I do an NFL show with Matt Castle. And we talk a lot about how athletes, you have a very limited window to make that really good money. How much does that weigh into retiring? though. Oh, I mean, the bills probably paid me a lot more than they should have. And I got, I got compensated well. I was very fortunate in my career. And, you know, to be honest, I was playing for less money than I played for since my rookie season at that point. I'm seeing friends, you know,
Starting point is 00:35:44 go through these traumatic injuries in the field, you know, whether it be, you know, I've already suffered six concussions. Do I want another at one and have that conversation with my family? Or I had a buddy whose leg exploded on the field, severed a nerve, and has permanent drop foot. And you got to play that into it. Is this point, am I playing football because I love the game still? Or am I playing it because I love being a football player? And when that intersection crosses and you're doing it and you find it, you find you might be doing it a little bit for vanity, you kind of got to remove yourself.
Starting point is 00:36:13 And it was it was a difficult moment for sure because that's your identity for as long as you can think. Like, I play football. People answer the phone. Cool. like that's inevitably going to change. But that doesn't mean you should keep playing the game if it's for the wrong reasons. So you go to Buffalo, which you just mentioned, is it a different kind of cold? Because it's freaking cold in Kansas City.
Starting point is 00:36:34 But then Buffalo, it just seems like it's a different animal up there. Do you have to get better at playing in cold weather? Well, I would say, you know, it's interesting. It's a great question. People on that, it gets colder in Kansas City. But the sun's out. And that plays a role because once November 1st hits and, beautiful Buffalo, New York and western New York.
Starting point is 00:36:55 The sun goes on holiday. And I don't know where it goes, but that plays a huge role on just your mentals. And, yeah, I guess the, the eerie affects snow is so prominent. And, you know, it grabs that garners the attention of the media and yourself. I mean, in 2022, we were going to, we were supposed to play at home. We had to move the game because it snowed seven feet and 24 hours. Oh, my God. And I'll tell you what, like the drywall inside the house.
Starting point is 00:37:22 started to crack because of the weight on the, uh, on, on, on, on, on the roof. Yeah. So it definitely, uh, that plays a role and, and, um, having to kind of nut up or shut up. And yeah, it's a beautiful thing, man. It's a great place to be. And I'll tell you what is, as much as it's cold and kind of grimy, it's, it's, it's a conducive for great football, great fellowship and just good family lifestyle.
Starting point is 00:37:46 You know, Sean McDermott was fired. I feel like Buffalo is a place where you have to get a guy to come in and actually be a part of the culture. Like you can't have a coach force a culture onto Buffalo. It's almost like Nebraska football. They would try with some of those wide open guys. They come in, run a wide open. It was just a little too wide open.
Starting point is 00:38:03 That's just not Nebraska football as much as you try. I feel like Buffalo is a bit the same. Like if you're not from Buffalo and understand what the Bill's mafia and Bill's culture is, like it ain't going to fit. And there have been talks of, you know, Dable. And we could go through all the possibilities. But what kind of coach does Buffalo need? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:20 The culture thing is interesting. I feel like you get, you know, the best way you can learn in any fast of life is being thrown into the fire. And there's no other way of being a coach in Buffalo, New York than being thrown in the fire. So that way you'll learn. I think the biggest thing for this team is they made a decision, right? You can call it right or wrong, but there's a decision made where they felt they were stagnancy or they just needed sometimes just a change of scenery. you got to find a guy who is either going to develop your quarterback, continue pushing that guy,
Starting point is 00:38:56 or you have to find another defensive mind. It's a fascinating thing. It's another one of those things that if you had a pill that could tell you exactly what to do, you'd be a billionaire because this is a decision they're going to have to solely make. And no matter what they make, there's going to be either criticisms or adulation for all this. It's going to be a remarkable thing to see. And hopefully they'd nail it because I got a lot.
Starting point is 00:39:17 lot of vested interest in that area. What about the Jaguars? You go to the Jaguars. Let's talk about them as a team. First of all, I guess we should talk about the juxtaposition of Buffalo versus Jacksonville. It's got to feel great to go somewhere where you're not having to double sleeve up, right? Yeah, it played a huge role in picking that team. I mean, Doug Peterson was my first ever offense of coordinator for the Chiefs.
Starting point is 00:39:38 That played a role in that. And then, you know, my wife had always kind of joked if we had played for another team that if we could make it below a certain ladder. she'd be very happy. And then when it actually push came to shove, she was mute because the biggest player in that free agency was actually Pittsburgh. You know, they offered more money. They were very interested and, you know,
Starting point is 00:40:00 they had brought me in and I was hoping I would hate it when I got there. And I remember calling my wife and be like, I got terrible news for you. This place is awesome. Mike Tomlin's a man, this is cool. But then as I'm there, Jacksonville calls. I go down and that son just snatches my soul, man.
Starting point is 00:40:16 the palm trees and then you kind of think outside of yourself it's year 10 you know of course you want to play for you know you got to put yourself in the best position but also for your family i mean they've they've been through it now these nine years in kansas city and buffalo kind of freezing and hunkering down for you it's kind of can you got to meet them halfway and yeah professionally it's stunk we weren't very good but it wasn't because we didn't try hard and we didn't have a good group of dudes it was just you know whatever you want to call it it just didn't work out but to be able to cross the intercoastal every day on your way home and see them and they're thriving. I mean, you do that 10 times over.
Starting point is 00:40:49 If you're a Jaguars fan, you've got to be pretty excited though, right? Liam Cohen comes in. Obviously, they kind of crapped out in the playoffs, but it wasn't that it wasn't a great team. I mean, Josh Allen basically carried that victory, snatched it from them. Trevor Lawrence had his best season. Jaguar fans pretty pumped up. Absolutely. It was really fun to be entrenched in a community where everyone was kind of lit up by the team.
Starting point is 00:41:13 Yeah, talk about it. total flip on the head. Liam Cohen comes in and interjects confidence, swagger, moxie, whatever you want to call it, and execution to a team that I was telling folks when I was there, you know, because when you're kind of stinking it up, people don't really take your word for a team. I'm sitting there, I'm like, we got some dues on this team who can play football, and then they just had the opportunity to let it fly, execute, whatever you want to call it.
Starting point is 00:41:37 I don't know what happened, but whatever happened was great. They were the most complete team, in my opinion, in the AFC. and anyone talking to folks in Buffalo and or in Jacksonville. I mean, this was going to be a great game. And shoot, Jacksonville's got it going on. Truly, it's been fun to see. When you're playing center and you're calling, whatever you're calling, you're pointing to something.
Starting point is 00:41:58 I don't know what you're pointing out. The quarterback's also saying stuff. Do you guys ever have to shut each other up so you can hear, your linemen can hear you? Because he's also yelling at the receivers. Like, is there a role like don't talk at the same time? Ooh, that's a really interesting question. I mean, I can bore your ass off with a 30-minute thing about this thing.
Starting point is 00:42:18 But I'll give you the kind of the quick synopsis of this is that each play, whether it's a runner pass rather, has a preordained set of things that need to be discussed about and need to be relayed information, right? Now, the quarterback's going to do 80% of that, and he's going to have final say on whatever. But as the center or whoever in the offensive line's job is to identify the certain things for a run.
Starting point is 00:42:44 It could be like if it's a base front or a or a subfront and maybe the Mike linebacker, if it's a pass, you got to go through all sorts of things as a five or six man drop. Yes, I mean, dude, it's time on task, thousands of reps. You take care of walk-through reps, use those as game reps. It's all the cliche coach BS is it rains true. Like you just got to get time on task. And then in the end, you just kind of work through that and figure it out.
Starting point is 00:43:09 If the quarterback is yelling, though, and he's just, changing, he's calling protection, change of protection for some reason. Are you waiting for him to finish before you start telling your guys what's up? Yeah, you shut your mouth, dude. You shut your, you shut your mouth and listen to what the quarterback has to say, because no matter what happens, that's the dude who has to have full reign of what's going on. And then also what he's saying could determine if I have to change what I'm saying. Like, it's just a beautiful dance you do between the two.
Starting point is 00:43:35 And it's fun to see when that thing's going. You kind of get in that flow state where if communication and execution, it's, it's, it's beautiful man. Which quarterback did you have best early chemistry with? When I got with Alex Smith, he was year 12 or 13. I was a rookie. And I was just swimming out there. I was trying my best, but he had the most grasp of what it took at the time to be a professional. It had done it for 13 years. Really carried me along to be a pro. You know, Pat was interesting because he stepped in and it was just electricity from the jump. He knew exactly what he wanted. And then Josh was the same. I mean, I think there's more similarities than difference. And then by the time that I got to
Starting point is 00:44:17 Trevor, I'd kind of done the inverse of what I had done with Alex, which was I was the older guy and Trevor was going into year four. So that was an interesting dynamic as well. But I would probably say Alex just because he was, you know, he was not, I don't know, father figure is a weird, wild way to say that. But he was definitely the big brother in that instance and really kind of guided me and held my hand through a lot of the stuff that I had no idea what I was doing. Would you ever have a quarterback get under center be a little too aggressive? Like they'd push a little too hard on your balls. You'd be like, dude, chill out for a second.
Starting point is 00:44:45 It's a great question. No, I appreciated that. You always wanted to know where they were. You want knuckle to taint. But no, the truth is, like, so I'd had a bunch of elbow stuff and surgeries. And so as my, as the years progressed, you know, under center usually you want to put that middle knuckle right on that taint. But I couldn't really do my full pro nation or supination, whatever you want to go out, Suva Nation, pro nation, sorry, when I'd snap it.
Starting point is 00:45:12 So by the end of my career, when I got to Trevor, I'm like, dude, put your hand on my left adductor or my left groin because this thing's getting there. No, you want to know, I'd rather be almost lifted off the ground by a quarterback than not knowing where they are. If you're running all shotgun, and I'm sure, you know, during your career, you had times where you were shotgun way more than the quarterback under center. Would you have to look back constantly to see where they were? or could you just blind snap it?
Starting point is 00:45:39 Yeah, you had to blind snap it. I mean, yeah, that's one of those things when you do hundreds of thousands of reps. You know, hopefully I'll never be able to lose that, right? Like, I mean, sometimes you, like early in your career when you don't remember if it's gun or under. But if you, this is kind of be weirdly technical and boring, but you got to also understand, like you don't want to change the way you hold the ball from how you snap it under center to how you snap it shotgun. So I had to make that change. because there's nothing worse than from like a play that shifts from gun to under where you're like messing with the ball.
Starting point is 00:46:13 And I have these little Wapperberger junior hands in general. So it's like really already hard to kind of hold the ball. Now you just kind of throw that thing back there and let us fly. Are there times where you would missnap it or a bad snap? But you wouldn't know because you weren't looking, but you just have to like tell by everybody what's happening around you. Sometimes you know that thing just slid. But yeah, usually you hear the fans.
Starting point is 00:46:36 Real excited. I'm like, there's no way they got to the quarterback that fast. Or if you're playing at home, you hear this just guttural 72,000 people holding their breath. Usually, you know, and then the defense is screaming ball, and they're kind of doing this weird dick dance around the ball because it's just, you know, defense is weird. Yeah, I mean, once a year you're going to have one. I can think of a few that keep you up in night where you just, oh, dude, there's nothing worse.
Starting point is 00:47:02 You'd rather give up 20 sacks and give up one bad, you know, snap. That sucks. Who would line up against you that you were like, man, it's going to be a long day? I mean, you want to know how I knew it was time to retire. Whoever was up there, I was like, damn. That's when I knew. I was going to retire. You know, there's different guys you think about in your career.
Starting point is 00:47:22 There's the anomaly, the guy when you're asked this question, you remove from the factor because it's just not fair, which is Aaron Donald. I mean, he was such a generational talent, maybe one of the greatest, if not the greatest defensive player to play it from the three technique position. That being said, I mean, in the AFC South, right where you guys are, Jeffrey Simmons is a profound football player. And he's just angry, which kind of throws another wrench into that. You have a guy, I'm too, I mean, and also when he got into the league, like my first start was against Vince Wilfork and JJ Watt. Like, I'm a young pup and Vince is there. And you're just like, oh, my God, this is the NFL.
Starting point is 00:48:01 This is crazy. Yeah, it just depends. There's a ton. There's loads of them. I mean, I got my ass kicked more than I kicked. anyone's ass, that's for sure. I don't know how I stuck around that long. Some of those guys, they would move around, right? So you would not, you would not know where they were lining up and they would, if they were moving these guys around, would it be like, oh, great, this play,
Starting point is 00:48:19 it's freaking Aaron Donald. Yeah, it sucks, dude. Yeah, you pray. You're like, please, you can't break the huddle fast enough and look around and see where this guy's line. And then, like, now there's this new deal where these, they have these edge rushers. Like, you think of Miles Garrett or Micah Parsons or, I mean, Rashon Gary did it once or twice, which is like, they line up in like a basketball stance over the center and they do this like pretend crossover and then they have this giant two way go and all you think about before the snap is I cannot give up a sack or this is going to be everywhere all the time it's going to follow me for the rest of my life my kids are going to see this one day mom's going to see this like so and then like it's uh yeah
Starting point is 00:48:59 I mean you talk about it was easy to retire by then it was nuts yeah I was I was done how do you end up going from Austin, Texas to Missouri. Ooh, I'll tell you how I go from Austin, Texas to Missouri. Well, after growing up listening to 96.7 Kiss FM with Bobby Bones of Lunchbox. Shout out. School shout out to the boys. This has been kind of a full circle moment. Of course, you grown up in Austin, you bleed burn orange.
Starting point is 00:49:26 And I remember I went for a small little school called St. Michael's right in Barton Creek. I commuted because we didn't have the cheese to live around there. but I remember my coach had brought, because they had little diss CDs back then. They weren't these huddle things or whatever. They bring it into like the coaches clinic for the Texas Longhorns. And they give it to Major Applewhite. And Major Applewhite looks at my thing and he sees where the high school is
Starting point is 00:49:49 and throws it in the trash in front of my coaches and walks off. And then by then I was just cool with whoever wanted to have me. Like so Missouri was the first one to offer. I was like, sick, let's go. And yeah, the tides have changed a little bit. And if I had to do it over again, I'd a thousand percent do it over again because I did enjoy my time in Missouri. And Texas stunk cheese. Well, I was there.
Starting point is 00:50:09 So it was cool. Yeah, I hate Texas. I just hate Texas in general. Like, I'm a Arkansas guy and I love Austin, but I hated the Longhorns. Oh, man, it's tough. It's tough because the thing is, as much as you love Austin. And it's got so much going on for it. The thing that pisses me off is like when Texas, when the Longhorns do well, Austin seemed to do well.
Starting point is 00:50:29 And I wish there was a disconnect because I can't stand them. Yeah. I love Austin. It's my favorite city, but I hate the long. Part of that's just being an Arkansas guy. Who was your head coach when you were at Missouri? A guy named Gary Pinkle. He was there for about, I want to say 13 years.
Starting point is 00:50:45 And before that was a Toledo for a bunch of years. He was Nick Sabin's roommate in college, and then they were GA's together. And yeah, good dude. Great guy. Still lives there and kind of we hang when we can. I have become friends with Barry Odom, who came in after. who was what defensive coordinator while yeah while you were there when i was there he was actually the one no he was dc no he was a linebacker's coach and then went to dc at memphis and then he got
Starting point is 00:51:16 the defense accordion job in missouri during our bowl game my senior year so he came out and then he took over as the head coach after but he's a great guy you know he's got his work cut out for him at peru but they got a bunch of good dudes over there let me ask you one final question when a back up quarterback comes in referring to what's happening in Denver this weekend. Is it up to you to have, hey, especially midgame, like, all right, calm down. I got you, like to let him know that you kind of got his back, even though he's kind of rushed into this? That is so dependent on the player, the relationship you guys have prior. It also depends on what your relationship is and the rest of the team. So say, I was a year eight or nine guy. Yeah, absolutely. Were you a captain?
Starting point is 00:52:01 and you have a seal on your chest. Is this a kind of guy who already runs pretty hot? And the last thing you want to do is getting his face, but like console him because then he's feeling slighted like a babe. Or is this a guy that you need to love up a little bit because that gets his confidence knowing? So there's just so many factors. That being said, they have a guy named Davis Webb, who's kind of a hot ticket name
Starting point is 00:52:21 for a head coaching gig here soon. He's the quarterback's coach there. And he is the golden ticket for the Sean Payton team to go to the Super Bowl. He'll get Jared sent him right to roll. Everybody check out Monday mornings with Mitch. How long have you been doing the podcast? Oh, man. I'll tell you what.

A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care.

Starting point is 00:58:11 All right before we go NFL records that will probably never be broken As we get closer to the NFL Conference Championship games We thought it'd be nice to look back At number one Biggest comeback I watched this one
Starting point is 00:58:29 Well some of it Same You couldn't have Yeah Well you're reborn Patriots, 28 to 3 in the Super Bowl. No. Dang.
Starting point is 00:58:37 That's not the biggest. Nice, dude. What year were you born? 91. Okay, so you'd have been two. So I knew he was lying. The biggest. Ninety-nine.
Starting point is 00:58:45 Oh. The Buffalo Bills found themselves trailing 35 to 3 in the third quarter against the Houston Oilers is Frank Wright gaming. I was watching it. I was watching it off and then I turned it back on and saw the end. You really did? Do you remember watching that for real? Yep. I remember not watching all of it because the game was over and I was turning the game back on.
Starting point is 00:59:03 Wow. And I saw the fourth quarter. That's good for you to turn it back on in that day and age before. Like you knew there was a comeback. No, the next game was about to come on or something. Or I was going to watch wrestling or something. So it was like a noon game. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:13 So something else was on. And I was like, wow, how about that? Fewest team rushing yards. In 1994, the Green Bay Packers held Barry Sanders and the Detroit Lions to minus four rushing yards. Wow. Fewest team rushing yards in a win. The Patriots in 2015 put out 14 rushing yards in a 35, 31 win over the Baltimore Ravens. I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:59:33 You remember that? Mm-hmm. I was alive for that one. Most career wins. Between the Patriots and Buccaneers, Tom Brady won 38 postseason games. Patrick went home's second with only 17. Wow. So these are all playoff records.
Starting point is 00:59:48 Yeah. Okay. If I didn't say that, I probably didn't see that. You didn't say that. But did you get the just? Yeah, you talked about the AFC. Chimmy-chip. Fewest overall points.
Starting point is 00:59:56 In 1970, the Dallas Cowboys took down the Detroit Lions with a score 5 to 0. Wow. There's a safety in there. Safety in field. field goal. Thanks, Eddie. Damn, man. I did the math real quick.
Starting point is 01:00:09 Biggest margin of victory. This one happened back in 1940. When the Chicago Bears took down, the Washington team that were the Redskins in, in the playoffs, 73 to zero. Oh my gosh. Crazy.
Starting point is 01:00:21 Most punts. In 1987, the New York Jets met. Cleveland is a double overtime game. The Jets punted 14 times. Dude, that would be a great pay. Awful game. When you do the drive,
Starting point is 01:00:32 how does the drive result? the drive result bets, all punts. Yeah, back in 87, hard to get a cell phone, though. It's good book you had that one. Hard to get Drive Kings here. Most seasons without a playoff win. Most, are we guessing, a number of the team? The team.
Starting point is 01:00:51 I'm going to go, I mean, the Browns. I'm going to say the Jets. The Browns have won with Baker. Oh, yeah. The Jets are not. since it's the Miami Dolphins.
Starting point is 01:01:08 Oh, wow. They have the longest active streak without a playoff win since the year 2000. Oh, dang. That's well sure the longest ever. Wow. That is the Cardinals who went 50 years,
Starting point is 01:01:18 but the longest current one is 50 years. Before Kurt Warner? Is that when they went? That's when they were... They won with Kurt Warner because they went to the Super Bowl. They won a playoff game of Jake Plummer?
Starting point is 01:01:34 I was watching the Frank Reich. That's right. your grandma's house and most career receiving yards what wide receiver has it Jerry Rice Jerry Rice you're right yeah yeah 2,245 receiving yards
Starting point is 01:01:47 during his postseason career that's crazy there you go all right who's gonna win game one Patriots Patriots Patriots the Pats you obviously think the Patriots are gonna win 100%
Starting point is 01:01:55 I think if the Patriots win dude you have to go to the Super Bowl you're already going to be out there It's a once in a lifetime deal dude I know guys You're already there it's a no brainer And you want all that money in our league
Starting point is 01:02:06 Yes. Oh, don't remind him. Now he's really going to cancel the trip. Yeah. They forgot about that. Can you imagine if we won like, you know, 1,500 piece? And then I'd be like, yeah, I could go. But yeah, see, I got to pay that off.
Starting point is 01:02:17 I got to pay some other debts off. How much do you think you'll spend on drinks? Because we were like, that was a priority. You're like, man, hotels. Alcohol? Like, it's in, okay, first at San Francisco, which is super expensive. Yep. Second, the Super Bowl weekend, even more expensive.
Starting point is 01:02:31 And third, I like to drink alcohol, so it's going to be really expensive. That's what I figured. because you hear what he say is like man I'm going to have to spend on hotels drinks food it's like that was second on the list or I could just yeah I could just pregame a lot but yeah
Starting point is 01:02:45 oh you're talking about at the stadium both really both because you can go to the convenience store and that's what I was just saying I guess I can just go to like the 7-11 not even 7-11 but have you seen those videos of people trying to smuggle alcohol into like cruises I did it once
Starting point is 01:03:00 they use like contact solution bottles and all kinds of stuff you can't take alcohol in That's part of their money-making deal. Yeah, I didn't know though if they were like hardcore about it. No, there's just like some videos of like the people be like, I can't bring this on, this straight vodka. It's funny.
Starting point is 01:03:15 They would go through their contact solutions? Yeah, well, there would be like something metal detector or whatever would go off and then they'd be in their bags. The video would start with them looking through the bags. I don't know why. Are you sure if it's like AI, you get fooled by every AI. Probably. Who knows?
Starting point is 01:03:29 Probably. Because if you're taking in some contact lens solution, bottle this big, you're not really smuggling that much in. If you show up with 10 bottles of contact solution, I think that's a tip-off that you're smuggling something in. Yeah, I don't think they, I guess it depends on which one. You smuggled on no cruise?
Starting point is 01:03:42 Yeah, it was like a six-pack of like soda or something and this three or four of them filled up with alcohol. Just retighten it. They don't check that hard. We used to do camelbacks like at music festival, straight vodka in it. Because they would allow water. Yes.
Starting point is 01:03:56 And they wouldn't check it. Yeah, but I think now they're on to that. Now they're probably just like, but don't you need water? You do, but they just like, all you have to do is smell it. It's ain't water. No, but I'm saying you go and you buy water while you're there,
Starting point is 01:04:09 but you just smuggled in vodka. To make sure I'll buy more water. What's your question? Did one person have a camelback with actual water? Yeah, did somebody have real water? You get water there. They have like water fountains there where you can like fill up whatever. But they allowed the camelbacks in.
Starting point is 01:04:25 When we were going to music festivals, they would never check them. Yeah. All right. Well, good story, guys. Thank you. Thank you. Smuggling. We may have an ice storm, big snowstorm this weekend.
Starting point is 01:04:36 Oh, boy. So we're going to be snowed. Hopefully we have, I have phone cell, so I'll be to watch the games. Yeah. There's that. Yeah. But yeah, there's no power. No games for on the TV.
Starting point is 01:04:48 And then how are you going to charge? I guess you can go to your car, right, and charge your phone. Yeah, it's a good point. Yeah. You got to get gas. Portable charger. I need to get gas. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:04:57 So do I. Do we think it's going to hit? Like, predict it now. How bad do you think the storm is going to be? Because right now, they're saying it's a once in a lifetime snowstorm. For me, it'll be once a lifetime, just because I've never been through a big one.
Starting point is 01:05:11 But yeah, I think, so what are they saying? Like 18 to 12? The numbers are crazy. Because I'm just trying to like, I don't think it's going to be as crazy as they're saying, but I do think it's going to be crazy. It's like six to eight inches, but it's the ice that's way worse.
Starting point is 01:05:24 That's trouble. Ice is trouble. Because ice knocks out power. Then yes. And it's Nashville, so we don't, like, they don't clear it very quick. I've already driven around and they have like salt. They've salted the roads a lot already.
Starting point is 01:05:34 As of right now? How bad do you think it's going to be, Eddie? I think it's going to be moderate. Like, it's not going to be as bad as they're saying. Will we lose power? No. I say we don't lose power. I don't think the whole city will lose power.
Starting point is 01:05:46 We'll probably have a few. The curse. You'll probably see a few where, like, oh, this area of town lost their power. If you live near Eddie, then good look. Oh, it's not us. You zoom out, and the only snowing ice is over Eddie's house. Then we know it's cursed. He's like that Charlie Brown.
Starting point is 01:06:04 character. That has a rain cloud over them the whole time. The sad one? Yeah. All right, we're out. Thank you guys. I don't know. We'll see you early next week. Go Patriots for you and also for us. Because we need to lessen our losses in our league. Other than that, hope you guys have a good, safe weekend. If you get hit by the snowstorm, I hope you have plenty of food.
