We always say that trust your girlfriends.
Listen to the girlfriends.
Trust me, babe.

What's up, everyone?
I'm Ego Vodom.
My next guest, it's Will Ferrell.
My dad gave me the best advice ever.
He goes, just give it a shot.
But if you ever reach a point where you...
You're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore.
It's okay to quit.
If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration.
It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat.
Just hang in there.
Yeah.
It would not be.
Right.
It wouldn't be that.
There's a lot of luck.
Listen to Thanks Dad on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Everybody, welcome.
We are doing a Thanksgiving show.
That's right, because we care.
and we want you to be able to listen to something
whenever you're tired to listen to your family.
Oh, blow the whistle, sorry.
Just waiting, man.
Hey, my bad, my bad, my bad, my bad.
You're good, you're good.
Yeah, taking a breath in
and you were just holding it.
I was holding it.
My bad, my bad, my bad, my bad.
There's a story that, first of all,
who yells at their television while watching games?
Me.
Do you yell at the television?
I think I yell at the couch
because it's the only thing that I hit.
Do you, like, turn into the couch?
No, but I will look down and be like,
I look at the couch, I think.
You hit the couch?
Yeah, that's the only thing I really hit in my life,
unless I'm working out.
Like, I'll slap the couch.
I broke my hand, punching a couch one time.
Punching a couch.
I was angry.
It must not have been the soft part.
No, it was the corner of like the end of the couch.
Yep, the wood part.
That's aggressive.
Why?
At a game?
No, my mom.
Oh, your mom, yeah.
I was like 30.
She told you not to, you can't do something or something?
She told me to, like, do something.
I think it was like clean something up
and I just got angry about, I don't know,
I had anger issues as a teenager and just I just turned.
And the first thing I saw it, I punched the corner of the couch and it happened to be the wood part and it broke my hand.
I went upstairs and act like nothing was a big deal.
Went to school next day.
Couldn't close my hand.
And I was like, yeah, I think I broke it.
And I did.
A little hat in hand, a little humble pie?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Learn my lesson the hard way.
Do you still have anger issues?
No.
No.
You just got rid of them?
It's called therapy.
It's like a virus almost.
Like it never really leaves.
Well, it's called therapy.
You learn how to deal.
with your anger is what it is.
When I was a teenager, a lot of trauma, I was like,
I was mad at my parents for, at the world.
Well, it's a safe place, man.
If you want to just let it all out.
Yeah, if you want to talk about something, it's a holiday.
We have a soft couch over there.
It's true. It's a holiday, family holiday.
There is a contest going on,
the roto grinder's armchair coach contest.
They're looking for the loudest, most passionate
football fan who thinks they can call plays better than the pros.
Fans can nominate themselves or someone they know
by submitting either a short video of their best coaching
moments or a 300 word essay showcasing their football smarts. The selected armchair coach won a $2,000
cash prize, plus fun extras like a whistle, foam finger, a gallon of Gatorade. All they have to do is watch
the game of their choice and share top reactions, yells at the TV screen, analysis, basically getting
paid to yell like they probably already do. That's so dumb. From rotogrinders.com, but what's
great about it is they're giving away $2,000 as a prize, yet they're going to get a ton of publicity
for even the site.
I've never even heard of it.
It sounds like a gay app.
Roto Grinders?
Well, you know what?
Grindrinder is the app where dudes meet dudes.
Grindr.
That don't act like you don't know.
Roto is like...
Roto is like...
Rottissory.
It means like football, baseball.
It's rotissory baseball is how all fantasy started.
Yes.
Okay, it's fantasy because every year I buy a Roto something magazine for my draft.
You do?
Yeah, it's at the grocery store.
Yeah.
Hold on a second.
Let me check my phone.
Is it 1997?
You know what?
They even have those still?
And it's also not up to date because they had to make it with paper, put it in a box,
ship it to the store.
It sits on the shelves.
They have one that you can get about two months before draft season.
Then you have an updated one.
They send a month before draft season.
And then you have one, which is like right in the middle of draft season.
So you just kind of like, you can buy all three and kind of see what they thought and now what they're thinking.
Why would you buy a paper magazine when you could just go online?
and buy even subscribe online and get real time edits i understand and it does give you that when you
buy the magazine there's a code that you can put online and it gives you all the digital version
of it dude you're living in the past no it's not it's not even that i like i read the magazine
it's tradition it's cost five dollars and when it's okay if it's tradition i'm okay with
it's fantasy season part of it's going over to the grocery store and buying the magazine
or aren't you any better than you think i'm not i'm not good at fantasy dude i don't know i suck at fantasy
Nobody's like, it's hard.
You're good.
Fantasy.
I'm having a good year, yeah.
Bobby's pretty good.
He's in the playoffs every year.
Yeah, I think I've won it a couple of the last few years.
But it's okay.
Our league, though, has kind of fallen off.
I think we mentioned this.
Yeah, our old league.
Yeah, it's the league we're in.
The one that we're all in together?
Yeah.
Okay.
I used to run it.
Like the commissioner?
It was legit.
He used to run it.
We used to draft in Vegas.
Oh, that's it.
I do newsletters every week.
There was a trophy.
Oh.
Wow.
I just got too busy.
And so we put it over to Mike Signs.
What were you doing?
Too busy.
Right, I know.
He does a fine job.
He's a good commissioner.
But I'm in another league where we've all paid a bunch more in, so it matters more.
Yeah.
And I don't even like doing two leagues.
I've said this before.
But I know a couple of those guys, but it was a high dollar league.
And I was like, this would be fun.
And so I focus on that one a little more.
But I'm doing fine at both.
I'm doing good of both.
Are you in the playoffs for this for our league?
Yeah, right now.
I think I play you this week.
Yeah.
Yep.
Have you guys looked at it?
My whole team's been hurt, though.
Yeah.
And I'm just getting by.
What's up?
I played Mike last week.
He had, uh, who went off, Mike?
Gibbs.
Gibbs.
Oh, Gibbs went off like 50 points, huh?
He still lost.
Mike still lost.
Wow.
Oh, we played week six.
I looked back.
I won by 0.7.
So the two times he's played me.
It's screwed me over.
They've sort of announced the Arkansas coach.
So as we're recording this,
it's all over people saying it.
I still don't know that it's officially official.
But Alex Golish, who we had on the show and who I was like,
hey, dude, come to Arkansas.
A lot of people are crediting me with convincing him to go look up payable in the fall.
As they should.
That's what you said.
It was his wife, man.
And if something happens and they're like, just kidding, it's not, then, yeah.
Okay, we misspoke.
I know, here's what I have known for a while.
He was the first one that was offered the job.
And had he decided because he was thought there was another job opening as well,
he was going to decide between those two jobs.
And we had a second guy lined up too, who I won't say, who cares.
So I knew it was going to be one of the two.
And you're okay with either, both?
I'm okay with whatever.
Again, I've not really associated any emotion to anything.
Can't be disappointed if you don't have any sort of expectation.
And I think that'd be fine.
We weren't going to spend a bunch of money on a, but who even was,
except for like Lane Kiffin?
Yeah, you didn't think you.
you're going to get land?
What are we going to do,
hire Lincoln Riley?
Who's getting who?
Penn State can't even figure out what they're doing.
I know, yeah.
And all of a sudden they're like going to scramble.
Auburn's got to figure out what they're doing.
And all those coaches like the John Summeralls,
the Alex Golish's, the Ryan Silverfield,
all those American conference guys.
Like, to me, they're all kind of on the same level of the shelf.
Yeah.
Some of them will end up being better than others, obviously.
Some have had different versions of winning,
but they're all kind of the same.
So I'm not going to jump to be like,
that coaching ours, so it's a terrible.
It's all good.
You think there's any way Clark Lee leaves Vanderbilt?
I don't.
Because, like, I mean, a team like a Penn State or Florida might want them for sure,
because what he's done is unbelievable.
But I think he loves Vandy so much.
He played there.
He's from here.
Yeah.
I mean, his home's here.
So it's kind of perfect.
But it is Florida or Penn State.
Penn State's last coach came from Vandy, though, which is kind of weird.
Yeah, that's true.
James Franklin was here when we moved here.
He was the coach of Andy.
I didn't realize that.
And they jumped up to Penn State.
I don't.
But I don't know. I have no insight on that.
I didn't even want insight on the Arkansas stuff.
I was getting annoyed with it.
So what do you mean?
Like people were just texting you stuff and you're like, I didn't want to know.
And I'd be like, nothing.
What do you know?
So they would just tell me.
Well, why would you ask?
What do you know?
Well, because then I would know what they told me.
I can't not know.
But you didn't want to know.
But at first I started off with nothing.
It was like, what do you know?
Nothing.
What do you know?
Well, we've heard they've contacted us.
So someone else texted me, what do you know?
Well, I kind of know this.
Oh, I only knew this.
from the first person that told me what do you know so then i was just sharing that information
so i'd be like what do you know so i'd have that plus the new what do you know next thing you
know i'm talking about to four or five different coaches were calling me going hey is your athletic
director like a weirdo is just that i don't even know i had multiple conversations with coaches
like asking for feedback about different things about and i was like i don't want to be this person
yeah because i don't want to be so attached because i don't want to like or not like the person
i'm done with that version there was time for a while when i was like i want to be in
I want to be able to go and like call the coach up
be like I'm in town
like Musselman who's now at USC
who's our basketball coach
who met to California he's a California guy
nobody got mad at him for going back he won at Arkansas
like him and I had a good relationship
I would go to he'd be like let's go to dinner
let's go whatever come up let's
I like that
but then it got kind of weird with our old football
coach Pittman never because it got bad
but because it wasn't going well
so therefore I'd be like it sucks we suck
and so they started to not like
that I was not saying nice things about the program.
Also donate a bunch of money
so they couldn't completely blackball me.
So I was like, I don't like this feeling,
so I'm just going to not get too close to the sun.
That's why I don't know Cal.
I donate to basketball.
Cal would be cool.
Cal was going to call me the other day
because I got a coach from his chief of staff.
It's like, hey, Cal wants to give you a call
and just say thanks for stuff.
I said, hey, man, I mean this in the most respectful way.
He doesn't have to call me.
This is not a hint.
he needs to grease. Like, I'm in regardless. So if he wants to call and just say hi, I'm all good
for it. But don't feel like this is like a booster who feels like it's so cool when coach calls.
I bet he respects that. Like, I bet he got that message and was like, cool. Well, you never call
me. So yeah. That never happened. Yeah, yeah. That's true. So I don't like, I'm not, I want to fly
too close to the sun because I don't want to get angry at people or not like somebody that make me like
what I love the most less. Have you ever had that with an artist? You? You've ever had that with an artist?
You don't need to say who, obviously,
but like somebody you maybe grew up
and then you kind of meet them in the industry
and you're like, oh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I can separate.
I had a really bad couple years with Casey Musgraves,
and she's still my favorite.
And now it's not a bad couple years anymore.
I've talked about it a lot.
It's 98% of that was my fault.
But it never affected how I felt about her music.
It was still my favorite.
And I think I'm kind of able to separate.
And the people that I really don't get along with, like a personality's clash, I never really like their music, though, either.
Well, that helps.
Yeah.
Yeah, for the most part.
I mean, but I've also, like, any human relationship, like, I've had good times and bad times with certain people.
Like, friends, you go in and out.
Like, I don't like their music anymore or less because I'm friends with them or not friends with them.
Okay.
I just never know if you got too close, like you're talking about, but in the music industry that you guys are so close in, it's kind of like you can't avoid it because it's obviously you're...
I just don't feel like I'm that close in it anymore.
I've separated myself from it a bunch
So I don't have
Yeah I'm not that close in it anymore
Like did you ever have a bad enough experience though
That you can't even
Like whenever the song comes on
You're like eh I'm good
There are people that I feel that way about
Where I'm
But I don't
I can separate art from artist
It's why every night I go home
I mean I go 30 minutes
Every night of R Kelly
Yeah good man
Because you separate the art from the artist
I love the music
Absolutely
He'll Cosby himself
It's on all the time
Well, Saturdays, I play the old Cosby Records.
That's great.
Nice.
But you can't watch the TV shows because looking at them's different.
They're not on.
No, that's Dr. Cliff Hoxtable.
So that's not.
That's harder, dude.
Is it weird that he was a gynecologist?
Yeah, it is.
Everybody, I'm kidding about that.
Oh, yeah, it's a joke.
Okay?
Everybody, I don't listen to R. Kelly.
I don't watch.
Yeah.
We clip it.
We clip it.
We clip it ourselves to get me in trouble.
Promote it.
But yeah, I think it's easy, Kevin, to separate the art from the artist.
Well, you're a small talk guy, though.
What is that what?
Well, I'm just saying, like, you can have a small, like, if you don't necessarily like an artist, but you grew up liking his music or you've liked his music in the past, you feel like you're good at being like, you know, you can still talk to him, have that small talk, whatever, and then just kind of go about your way.
Yeah, but there was a time when, and Bobby, you can probably talk on this, but like, there was a time when, like, it was cool to meet someone.
Like, oh, I really want to meet them.
And then once you get to know them a little bit,
you change your theory on that.
You're just like, I'm good.
Okay.
Never seeing them again.
But then you're kind of like,
because we've had people interviewing, like, ex-athletes on the show
where it's like, dang, I kind of wish I didn't know that their personality was like that.
I'd rather just know them as like this iconic player, you know?
I don't really have a lot of bad stories because most of the time when I interview people,
they come in and they're being their best.
That's true.
When people ask you, like, hey, how is this person?
Most time it's great.
Like, I don't have a whole list of that.
I have, like, personal stories that have happened.
But I think even Eddie has a buffer because I don't think Eddie's in as much as I am.
Right.
Where he gets to, like, be friendly with everybody because they come in here for the most part.
And I'm a small talk guy.
And he's also just a nicer guy.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing.
I do like small talk.
I know.
That's a good thing.
I do.

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...
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 I will be his last target.
He's going to get what he deserves.
Listen to the girlfriends.
Trust me, babe.

Saturday Night Live and the Big Money Players Network.
It's Will Ferrell.
Woo, woo, woo, woo.
My dad gave me the best advice ever.
I went and had lunch with them one day.
And I was like, and dad, I think I want to really give this a shot.
I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings.
I'm working my way up through and I know it's a place that come look for up and coming talent.
He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet.
Yeah.
He goes, but there's so much luck involved.
And he's like, just give it a shot.
He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and
It doesn't feel fun anymore.
It's okay to quit.
If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration.
It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat.
Just hang in there.
Yeah, it would not be.
Right, it wouldn't be that.

Okay, so Hall of Fame nominees.
We're at the semi-finalists now, the NFL Hall of Fame.
I see Whitten on there?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
So there are three quarterbacks.
Drew Brees, Eli Manning, Philip Rivers.
Hmm.
Wow.
So what's going to happen, though?
They're going to take these 26 down to 15 finalists,
and then the 15 finalists go to 5 or 6?
It's between four and eight every year.
Oh, so it does change.
Yeah.
And this is just the first year that these guys are eligible, right?
Not all are the first year.
Not all of them.
Yeah, some of them are up again.
Okay.
But some of them, it is their first year.
Drew Brees, Eli Manning, Philip Rivers.
I wonder how many we would say.
Let's see.
Let me do my list.
Sart.
So they're 15 finalists.
So I'm going to go, I'm not even going to do Hall of Fame.
I'm just say if I pick out 15 just before I even look at the whole list.
Drew Bree's yes,
finalist.
Eli Manning,
yes, finalist.
I'll come back to Philip Rivers.
Frank Gore, Fred Taylor.
I'm going to put Frank Gore as a finalist.
I'm not saying Hall of Fame
and in my eight.
My eight max, right?
Yeah, to make it.
Not doing that.
This is just 15 finalists.
Frank Gore in.
Larry Fitzgerald for sure in.
Terry Holt.
Tori Holt, excuse me.
Not going to put him there.
I think Tori Holt is somebody, though,
who's not his first year,
obviously, being up for it.
Steve Smith.
Man, Steve Smith was awesome.
He was awesome. He was awesome. He was so good.
I'm going to put Steve Smith in the final.
Heinz Ward, Reggie Wayne.
I'm going to put Reggie Wayne in the final.
Jason Witten, I'm putting him in the final.
Oh, boy.
Offensive line.
Now, this is tough because what the crap do I know about offensive line men?
Yeah, you might say a name that I recognize.
Yeah, there's a couple.
Like Willie Anderson.
I recognize the name only, and that's only because I know Willie Roof, and it's just a
Willie.
And there's a Will Anderson on the Texans.
Steve Winsnewski.
I don't know these people and I'm sure they're all awesome.
It's unfair for me to go yes or no on them.
So I'm going to put none in.
No one.
And I'm going to see where I end up.
I'm not smart enough.
I do not have the intelligence, the capability to accurately judge these guys.
Defense aback, Rodney Harrison.
Now, Patriot for sure.
But Rodney Harrison, to me,
Steeler?
No, Patriot, right?
Yeah, but Chargers.
Charger, okay.
But Patriot, like...
Oh, yeah, he's known as a Patriot.
Got it.
Yes, yes.
No, he's on as a TV guy now.
Right.
And now my association with him is just on TV all the time.
And he's known as a guy that let David Tyree catch that.
Pass.
But that was such a hard catch.
I know.
I'm not blaming him.
I'm just saying.
I'm going to say my affiliation with Rodney Harrison has become so much television
that I've kind of lost his impact as a defensive football player.
Do you like them on TV or just kind of...
No, I do like him.
Okay.
So I got to check out of that one.
I can't put him as a finalist.
I just know his TV stuff.
Dang.
It's understandable.
Earl Thomas, in.
Darren Woodson, the cowboy.
In.
Not ahead of writing.
Are you putting him in?
I'm not going to put him in the 15 yet.
I'm going to see where I am.
Oh, wow.
Luke Kekley, in.
And if the guy played six or seven more years,
put him in the first year he retires.
Break the rule.
Yeah.
Kobe him.
Although he didn't die.
Yeah, it's true.
Facts.
Luke Kikley, Terrell, Sugg.
in Robert Mathis.
He played linebacker and defensive line, right?
Yeah, he was the
Pass Rush Specialist
for the Colts. Is that what they
called him? Well, that's what he was known for. Sacks
and him and Frini. He played off the ball
and on the ball. No, he's mostly on.
But I think he would like, it just depends on
the whole defensive. Was he never listed as a linebacker?
Would you look? Yeah.
Vince Willfork.
I'm going to go, yep.
Absolutely. Ventatory, yep.
Wow. Patriots guys.
Well, dude, they won.
These guys going in now are the ones that won all those freaking super goals.
Because Robert Mathis is listed as a defensive lineman for sure, but I just feel like he played...
I mean, yeah, they might have like...
Like stood him up a little bit.
He was listed as a linebacker, yeah.
And outside.
I think it just depends on the defense they were running.
Like, I'll argue that, but I can't name a single lineman.
I'm like, no.
Marshall Yonda.
He was good for the Ravens.
I just remember because of his name, too.
I bet they were all awesome.
Yeah, that's true.
Okay, here's who I have Drew Brees, Elon, Man.
that's two, Frank Gore 3, Larry Fitzgerald,
4, Steve Smith, 5, Reggie Wayne 6, Jason Witten,
7, Earl Thomas 8, Luke Keeckley, 9, Terrell Suggs, 10,
Vince Wilfork, 11, Adam Vintetary, 12. So I've got
three, and then, so I'm just going to close my as a pick three lineman.
No, no, no, no, get Woodson in there.
Yeah, the Hall of Fame 50 member selection committee will vote.
So let's say who for sure gets in.
Drew Brees, for sure gets in.
For sure. It's not Eli Manning's first year up, though.
I believe last year was his first year, if I'm not crazy.
But some would say, I'm crazy.
I mean, he's going in for sure, right?
He won two Super Bowls.
He won two Super Bowls.
You need to be now.
Well, he didn't go in first year.
If I'm right, I could be wrong.
Was Eli Manning up last year?
Eli Manning's first year, 2025.
So last year or this year?
This year?
That'd be this year.
Well, 2020.
No, this is 2026 Hall of Fame semifinals.
Oh, gosh.
No, it says, no, it's not Eli Manning's first year.
Okay.
Oh, my goodness.
Yet I've never heard of any of the offensive linemen.
I'm rain manning you guys on some of this stuff,
but I'm like, no, Lomas Brown, never heard of them.
Definitely, definitely Manning.
I think Eli Manning can make it this year.
Let's see, though, because I'm going to say if we do eight,
Drew Breeze, Eli Manning, Larry Fitzgerald is a for sure in.
Yes.
Let's do our for sure for sure's.
Because Venetary didn't get in last year.
He was one that was up and didn't get in.
Like Luke Keekly has been retired.
He's probably been up sometimes.
It's the second year.
Okay, here's who for sure should get in.
Drew Brees
Larry Fitzgerald
Suggs
Or is he Hall of Very Good
I think Hall of Very Good
Okay
Obviously Keekley didn't make it his first year
So he can't be a guaranteed
What about Vince Wilford?
No you might
A little biased but I'd say yes
He was the best defense to tackle
For like 10 years
That was good
First year up
Yeah I believe
No
No.
Thanks, Brandon.
His first year was yes to everybody.
His first year was 2022.
Oh, gosh, he's been in for a bit then.
Okay, then I'm just going to go.
The only ones that need to for sure get in are Drew Brees.
Larry Fitzgerald.
That's all.
That for sure should get in.
Wow.
Because there's no.
There's no, his longevity.
He was a beast.
Third and all-time rushing.
Longevity.
Yeah.
For sure.
Like that was the crazy thing about him.
He was really good.
for a long, long, long, long time.
I don't think he was ever like a top two back, though.
Do you?
No, I don't.
But he was a top eight back for 113 years.
Like him and Joe Namath and 69 playing together?
Oh, my God.
That was crazy.
Biggest episode of all time, John and Unitas.
That was crazy.
All right.
I just can't guarantee somebody's going to get in
if they've already been up and didn't get in.
So I guess my only two are going to be Drew Brees and Larry Fitzgerald.
Reggie Wayne?
that's I'm borderline
That's right there too
Because he was probably top what
Three receiver for a couple years
But it can't be his first year
Yeah
It's a six year
Yeah if it's not your first year
I can't guarantee
Because you've missed it so many times
Yeah
All right that was a stupid conversation
Moving on
Cool
Hey by the way
I really like your hat
This is uh
Thanks for commenting on it
This I wear this one
I want to keep pounding
I didn't see it at first
Yeah, man.
It's camo.
It's camo.
But it does have a Panther logo on it.
This is actually a Luke Combs, Carolina Panther collab.
Oh, that makes sense with a camera.
It is, yeah.
Yeah, I keep palming.
Thanks, man.
What did you think about that game?
Didn't like it.
No, it wasn't a good game.
Frigant 49ers, this is a week later, or a few days later, but four and actually three
interceptions and still, it's been the first half.
It's crazy, man.
I won the game.
Yeah.
And got punching the nuts.
Dude
I would have
That's worse than spitting
I was crazy
Oh
Was that the fight at the end
Like physically hurt
It hurts worse
But I don't know if it's more disrespectful
Because
A purposeful spit
Is done with full intention
A punch in the nuts
Not this one
But any punch in the nuts
Can be accidental
A punch in the nuts
Like a tackle
Like you can actually go to like
Let's say knock out a ball
And you can hit somebody in the nuts
You're not going to spit in somebody's
Freakin face
Like you're not in mid-tackle
and while you tackle you accidentally go
too. Yeah. You can get a little dribble
on them. I think this spit. A little drool?
Like pee dribble? No, like
When they're tackling, they're spit bouncing around in there.
Oh yeah. But like a per... I don't know, they both suck.
But an intentional nut punch. I know, that was so intentional.
That's worse than a spit, right?
It hurts more, but I don't think it's more disrespectful than a spit.
Oof. I think spitting on someone is the absolute most.
You are such garbage to me thing you could possibly do because it doesn't hurt.
It is just the message
That's a good point
It's gross, right?
But I mean, how often
Part of the nut punches it's supposed to hurt
That's your manhood
Yeah, dude
And everyone knows how bad that hurts
So if I'm gonna even think about punching you there
They also do that in the bottom of piles
Even for somebody you don't even hate hate
Like if there's a fumble
People are grabbing nuts, twisting,
just trying to do anything to get an advantage
Yeah, but a full on upper cut was something else
Yeah, it sucked
Yeah
Chauncey Billis pleads not guilty
Hmm
Well yeah
You got to
You got to
You got to
You got to
The Thanksgiving Day games
Which this is coming out
Thanksgiving Day
So maybe over
Where are we watching this stuff?
Netflix
Oh they're not on regular TV
Is it Netflix?
I think Netflix has the
Black Friday game
See
Okay
When they start doing this
I'm putting games all days
I don't even know
I know
I know
No I think Thursday's the regular networks
Tooby will be streaming the Thanksgiving Day game.
That's one of Mike's favorite places to watch anything.
I love Tooby. It's underrated.
He likes that in Crunchy Green.
Crunchy roll.
What is it called?
Crunchy roll.
That's some good sushi there.
Yeah, I do like that one.
Tube will be streaming the Thanksgiving Day game between the Packers and Detroit Lions
and the Super Bowl.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah, the Fox and CBS for the first two games and then the night game is NBC
Peacock.
So what's the point of Tooby streaming?
So if you're not in front of a TV, you can just get the Tobey app and watch on your phone somewhere, maybe?
What was your answer to that, Mike?
I mean, yeah, just trying to get more people to go to Tubey.
You're there watching the game and then, hey, this movie from the 90s I haven't seen in five years, check it out.
The Loose Boys.
Late the Wealthen 2's on?
I can watch that after the game?
If there's any movie that I haven't seen that movie in a long time, Tubey probably has it.
You know what point break came out on one of those today?
That was such a good movie when we were young.
Dude, so good.
I watched the whole thing.
You know that movie?
Oh, yeah.
Kiana Reese?
Yeah, yeah.
Still holds up for you guys or no?
I don't know.
I haven't watched it in a hold-up time.
I just remember it being awesome.
I'm telling you guys, it was like a week ago,
and I just like, it turned on my TV and it was playing,
and I'm like, oh, I got to watch this.
It is good.
It's really good.
Do you go watch Stephen Wilson Jr.?
Yeah.
At the Ryman?
Yeah, so I'm at the Ryman.
I saw him at the Riemann.
Yeah, like Mother Mary.
Yeah, like Mother Mary.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Whatever all you guys are saying, that's what it was.
Is it the hands or the lady?
It's the lady with the virgin.
Oh, yeah, she's the virgin.
But what's the name?
Virkin de Wala Lupe.
Mm-hmm.
Birken.
That, just like we said.
So I saw that and thought, oh, that's cool.
Then I saw some, like, TikToks from it.
What did you think of the show?
Yeah, I thought it was great.
He also has, like, a boxing ring set up because he was a boxer when he was a kid, I guess, growing up.
So it's like a boxing ring.
And he even has a guy, like, dressed up as an announcer or a judge.
He's in, like, a white shirt with a bow tie.
And he lets people in the ring, like, to bring him his,
guitars and like guests.
He plays in the ring?
In the ring, yeah.
That's cool.
It's not fully closed off like the open or is in the front, but he, it's all surrounded
him and his band was awesome.
He was great.
I mean, I don't know much of his music, but I know a few of his songs, but just talent
wise, he was stupid good.
Really?
Yeah, like really good.
And his guitar playing is insane.
He confused me of some stuff, but.
I'm not so snob at music that I can just go to a show and enjoy anybody if they're good.
I need them to blow me away
or I need to know the songs.
Have you ever just gone to a show
where you didn't know who was playing
and then fall in love with that band or that artist?
I've seen a couple openers that were like really awesome
but I am not the person
that can just go and enjoy a concert of songs I don't know.
I need to know the songs
unless it's like, holy crap,
this is like, and I would need to even think
because I know there have been a couple instances
but none come to mind right now.
But any music questions you have,
you should ask Brandon
because Brandon is like one of the best
musicians I know.
So. Yeah. Can I ask you a few questions?
Sure.
Okay.
This is coming from like obviously I don't know music the way that you guys do like the
ends and outs of it.
By the way, Eddie and I are not on the same level as Brandon.
You're not.
No, well, Bobby and I are not on the same level.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
What were you going to say?
No, like Bobby's the lowest level. Then me, then Brandon.
Why did you have to even bring that?
I know.
I just say if he wants to tear his questions.
Maybe he has an elementary question.
If we're doing the like performance.
rankings, like stage presents?
Yeah, just like...
Oh, I'm number one.
I'm number one.
Okay.
Any sort of questions about
music like tech stuff?
Ask Brandon.
Okay, yeah.
I don't know if these are dumb questions or not,
but he's up there.
He has an old guitar
that he bought for like 400 bucks
he talks about off Facebook marketplace, I believe.
Wow.
But it's an acoustic guitar.
A what?
An acoustic.
Okay, so it's only because you've seen it
and you haven't heard it.
So we're not going to judge you.
That's not how it's said, though.
Okay, see this, okay
But
When you've cracked him
Wait, oh okay
It does look like it would be
Acoustic
It's called an acoustic
Oh really?
OU's like a O
Acoustic?
Acoustic, yeah
Acoustic, yeah
I've said acoustic my entire life
Nobody's ever correcting me
You're a big guy with tattoos
Stoned that out there
Take that as a compliment
Yeah, yeah
Okay, he has an acoustic guitar
And
but when he was playing it
Like it sounded like a
electric guitar
Oh yeah
So it's a classical guitar.
It's got nylon strings.
Okay.
And he's got pedals that he plugs into to give him like delay and overdrive and all that kind of stuff.
So he's trying to bridge the gap of, and I've heard him say this.
I'm trying to bridge the gap.
Oh, you should have just went with it.
He shouldn't have, yeah.
Oh, no.
Keep going.
He's huge like Kurt Cobain Nirvana.
He covered Nirvana one song.
Yep.
And so he wants to bring that classical nylon, Willie Nelson,
plays the same kind of guitar
and he wants to bring in that 90s grunge
together with country
So his pedals, like the technology
he's using is making that acoustic sound
a little more electric.
But if he just unplugs everything
then it does it just sound like an acoustic
guitar? Oh really?
I don't want to accuse you
accuse you. Acuse you.
Acuse you. He didn't want to accuse you.
Okay and another question
how to do with the pedals because he had them all over the stage.
Usually I see him right where the mic is,
but he had him off to the left and the right because he was running around.
He'd press it and then run to the other side just keep playing,
press another one.
So that's what it is.
It just makes it sound different.
So yeah, so if you're going into, say, like a chorus from a verse,
you got to kick in like a distortion or an overdrive.
Or if a delay is going somewhere.
You're saying words, though, that I don't think.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
So sorry.
Overdrive.
Yeah, overdrive.
My bad.
So overdrive kind of elevates the sound of the guitar.
It gives it a different effect.
Like, you know, you hear a clean sounding guitar.
And then you hear like a distorted, like, gz-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-h.
Like over-modulation, how we do our stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like something sounds like...
And if something's, like, delayed, like, he has a lot of delay stuff and, like,
yeah, you know.
I was going to say he's got a lot of, like, the reverb sound to it.
Yes, yes.
Yeah.
He wanted to probably either elevate that effect or just take it completely out,
because it's a different part of the song.
Okay.
So is that like its own...
Because it sounded different.
Like his music, his style just sounded different.
I enjoyed it.
I thought the reverb.
I thought the echo was great.
But is that like its own...
I don't know what I mean?
Like style, I guess?
I would say so.
I mean, I don't see a lot of country artists doing that.
You know, especially like in their recordings and live.
Like you don't see Riley Green up there with a bunch of pedals.
No.
Like he's just acoustic and acoustic.
But he's trying to really like, I think Stephen Wilson Jr. was in a lot of rock bands and stuff like that.
His wife is actually the lead singer of Sixpence Nun the Richer.
Lee Nash is his wife?
You know that?
That one.
He brought her out when I was there.
Lee Nash.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
That's his wife.
What?
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
Yeah, she sang with him that night.
She's been in here.
Dude, that's the most shocking thing I've heard in days.
Right?
And I've heard some pretty shocking stuff.
Pretty shocking stuff.
Yeah.
Especially about the Arkansas coaching service.
Yeah, yes, yes, yes.
Dude, the acoustics in here are great.
They are in the way.
Yeah.
A good show?
You love the show?
Oh, it was awesome.
And to your point, like, I didn't know much of his music.
And I'm kind of the same way.
I'm like, yeah, I don't know.
But it was just a great show.
My mom wanted to go.
She's in town.
Did she like him?
And she was watching the CMAs, watched him perform.
And she texted me.
She's like, hey, he's playing at the rhyme.
And like, do you want to go?
And it's like, yeah, sure.
Very cool.
She loved it.
She's a big music junkie.
Her mom's favorite band is the food fighters.
His mom.
Yeah.
Her mom?
His mom.
Her mom?
Did I say her mom?
Yeah, you did.
Oh, gosh.
My bad, dude.
It's how I see you.
It's Thanksgiving.
You can do whatever you want.
We can do whatever you want, man.

and Dad, I think I want to really give this a shot.
I don't know what that means, but I just know the ground.
I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come look for up and coming talent.
He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet.
Yeah.
He goes, but there's so much luck involved.

He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit.
If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration.
It would not be on a calendar of, you know.

Cowboys.
Yeah.
Win.
Dub.
Guys, this is it.
I mean, everything changed.
when they beat the Eagles.
Everything changed.
We're brand new.
This is a legit shot to make the playoffs.
We have to win.
We have to beat...
Can you pull up the Cowboy schedule, please?
Even if we lose today to the Chiefs, right?
Today.
Today.
Today.
Today.
We lose the game today.
I still think our schedule is easy enough to win at least four more games.
And if we win four more games,
if the Lions start losing a little bit,
If the 49ers can lose a little bit, we're in it, baby.
Yeah, you're doing some ifs, though.
I know.
There's a lot.
A lot of moving parts.
Okay, so let's walk through it.
Go, Chiefs.
Chiefs.
I'm just going to do what I think.
Loss.
At the Lions.
That's a win.
That's a win.
Have you seen the Lions lately?
Okay, you know what?
Win.
Put it as a win.
Vikings at home.
That's a win.
No, I'm not talking to you.
I'm doing it.
You're going to do all wins.
Go ahead.
No, I'm not.
No, I'm not.
No, no, no, you're all.
You're out.
Go.
Chargers at home.
Don't be stupid.
You know the answer.
I can't even play the game.
When?
At Washington.
When?
At the Giants.
When?
That's it.
You see what I'm saying?
You see what I'm saying?
I think they'll probably drop one of those games, though, between the Chargers and the lions.
They're possibly even both.
But I do think that they could win a bunch of these games.
Yeah, the problem is, though, when they get in the playoffs, they care.
Yeah, just get there.
Just get to the playoffs.
I know.
Because before this game, we were looking at we're not even making the playoffs.
And we made moves.
We changed our defense up.
We are making moves.
This is amazing, dude.
So 9 and 8, that's always a strong possibility you can get in.
But we saw the Bengals last year not get in at 9 and 8.
But 9, 7 and 1.
That one, baby.
From that tie.
Oh, I think we need the Packers to kind of take a dump too.
You need that because you're, dude, you're going to.
going to end up costing us so much money in our
Don't start. Don't start. Don't start because I'm
not the only one anymore. Now Baker's kind of hurting us
a little bit. What do you got to say about that?
That wasn't our second round pick.
Yeah. And it wasn't
between them and
anybody. Anybody. And I
understand. But you know, like the owners of the Bengals,
they didn't expect this to happen. No, no, no. I know. But I was just like,
hey, let's go with the Packers. And you're like,
no, Bengals. I had a feeling. Yeah.
And they still could win a bunch of games. Burroughs
going to come back and play. Yeah.
He's back, baby. Today?
Tonight.
Or Black Friday.
No.
Bears and Eagles Black Friday.
Tube?
To be?
Wait, there are three games today?
Yeah, there are three games.
No way.
I didn't know that.
It's been like that for a while for Thanksgiving.
Depending on when people are listening, there's already one on.
Okay, so we back, baby?
We back, baby.
The official statement from the Dallas Cowboys?
How shocked were you when they won that game?
You won money, right?
Yeah, I won a lot because while we were down recording at my house during the game,
I put $100 on the money line
when it was like plus $500.
Oh, nice.
I only did it in solidarity with Eddie
and they were down one touchdown.
They were down a touchdown
and the Eagles had the ball.
Dude, when we went back to the house
and the Eagles fumbled that punt,
I was like ball game
and the Cowboys couldn't score.
Yeah, and then I was like ball game back.
We lose.
Dude, Pickens is so good.
So good.
So good.
Which is another thing too.
Like my kids are doing their Christmas list.
They all want George Pickens' jerseys.
Which, awesome, right?
But I don't even know if he's going to be a cowboy.
True.
They could franchise tag him.
Yep.
They could just pay him.
I doubt they let him go free agent.
There's no way, right?
Yeah, you have to tag him.
So also with Pickens, I think what helps is
there's a wide receiver that's slightly better than him
that plays on the other side of him,
which keeps everybody from double-teaming him.
It's like a pass rusher who has somebody on the other side.
There's a reason that a lot of those guys,
other than Miles Gere.
But also Miles Garrett has a little help now too
on the Cleveland defensive line.
Yeah.
30 lines pretty good.
Yeah.
If you have another great pass rusher,
it's hard for them to double you all game.
So it does open it up to get a lot of sacks.
Same with these wide receivers.
If you've got two really good wide receivers,
that number two guy eats because they're doubling up CD,
but now they're having to like decide.
They're having to roll coverages and double up one or the other
before Dallas even figures out who's getting doubled
because those receivers are so good.
If you're George Pickens, man,
you just made a lot of money.
If you were in Pittsburgh,
you're just a crazy guy
who's going to continue to be
high potential,
high ceiling guy
that never made it.
Probably not worth the problems
you cause.
In Dallas,
one, there's enough problems.
You're not the only problem in town.
There's a lot of problems.
Yep.
And then two,
Cid Lam lines up across from you.
And he's awesome.
Although he did drop a big ball.
He's dropping balls, dude.
Don't get me started.
We've already done this.
Well, it was last year.
This is the last year when I was like,
Cidlam does not have great hands.
Yeah.
But he has great hands.
He's a great wide.
He's a great white wide receiver.
He's just dropping balls, like out of nowhere.
Piggins has a great hand.
Him and Rogers would have been fun in Pittsburgh, though.
Rogers isn't fun.
You mean playing together?
Yeah, just yelling at each other.
And Roger sucks.
Yeah.
He's going to play with his hurt wrist.
He is?
It's broken, right?
And then complain about it when he leaves.
It's like fractured.
Okay.
He's broken.
He has ruined his legacy.
Yeah.
He's been bad so long now that there's going to be a generation of folks.
football fans that only remember bad Aaron Rogers.
That's a good point.
Because I think you can play bad for a couple years, and that's fine.
Like Brett Farve, he was actually pretty good with the Jets.
He was actually pretty...
But he wasn't the same, but you can have a couple bad years in your latter years
and be fine because we remember all the good years.
If you keep playing for another five to seven years and you suck in all those five to seven years,
young people are just going to remember all the suck.
They're not going to remember any of the good.
No, I'm telling you, my kids, like the other day,
they were asking like, why does this guy still play?
Like, why is he, is he good or something?
Because I don't get it. There you go.
Because they never got to see him be awesome.
Yeah, I was like, he was good at one time, guys.
Really good.
All right.
Tom Brady's the one that did it right, man.
Like, he will just, not only did he just keep playing, he won a Super Bowl.
Well, he did it right is he went to a team that was loaded enough to win a Super Bowl.
Yeah.
But no one's even going to think about that.
No, no, that's true.
But I'm saying Aaron Rogers didn't do that.
He didn't.
And also he, he,
He played one play.
Yeah.
The injury just ruined everything.
Yeah.
But also he didn't play well
as last year in Green Bay either.
Because he had a wrist issue.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah, yeah.
And then he did the dramatic walk-off.
Tom Brady did the smart thing
because I don't think Tom,
I think Tom Brady was a
some, you know, he was a
soft shell of his former self.
But you go somewhere with
what Bruce Ariens was the coach.
The offensive line was good.
He had weapons.
Like he went somewhere.
He did pretty much what Peyton Manning did.
I think Tom
Brady was the coach of that team.
They would go to the sideline, and sometimes
you'd see Aaron and just be like,
whatever you want, dude. Like, Peyton Manney
went to Denver, and Denver was loaded.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. And won
Super Bowls. More super, over there.
Yeah, won a Super Bowl there. And that last year
was brutal for him physically. Remember, he couldn't throw
15 yards? Couldn't move his freaking head.
His neck was so bad. But he had some dudes around him.
Remember when his wife? The
story was, his wife was getting all of the
HGH.
vaguely.
Shipped to her, right?
Yeah, shipped to her.
What's H-G-H?
Performance and hands?
Human growth hormone, yeah.
Yeah, Mike, would you mind Googling that
so I'm going to pay to Manning Joe?
Sounds like a nice deal, though.
Because they never actually found him guilty,
but I think she was getting a lot of it,
and it was like, let's...
Yeah, and he was like supposedly using it.
Connect, I don't know, who knows?
But I would, I would be.
Yeah.
I had to shoot, I've hurt myself up,
hurt myself a couple times.
I've had to shoot myself up with stuff.
Like, do you actually do it yourself?
The shot and everything?
Oh, I can't do that.
You can.
You can because you pinch your stomach.
That like that little, because where we get our fat first, you pinch your stomach.
You don't really feel it there.
Or you can do your butt.
But I've had a couple, like, injuries where I was prescribed, like, peptides, some more HGH type stuff, just to get back to normal.
Mike, do you see anything?
Yeah, no credible evidence was found.
Exactly.
For what, though?
that they were sending his wife, Ashley Manning, this HGH.
Man, I don't think my wife would do that for me.
Yeah, you do.
If that's your career and your life and your livelihood, for sure.
Okay, what would be comparable to what we do?
Ooh, somebody else's voice?
Nothing, because you don't make the money
or have the kind of success or the Hall of Fame career.
I know, but my family depends on me.
So, like, what would she get shipped to her house?
that would help me in my work.
A recording of somebody else's voice.
You know?
No, because I still think you would be able to, like, edit.
Okay.
Like video.
I was seeing like a software or something.
Yeah, me too.
I don't really think you're known for your voice.
I just don't think my wife would do that, but I guess she would.
You're a pastor.
Got a whole on one at church.
Dude, it's so freaking annoying.
Like, he gets up there at church, and I'm never mad at church.
I love church.
I'm never mad at church.
Because you're gambling the whole time.
No, no, no, no, I gamble before I get to church.
Oh, that's true.
I get to church and, like, I'm in a good move.
We've already said hi to everyone.
We're drinking our coffee and the pastor comes up there.
He's like, starts talking about how he just started playing golf.
And I'm like, oh, that's cool.
We started playing six months ago.
He was out with some friends and it was up time for him to hit.
So he gets a, you know, a little eight iron.
He's like, it's not good.
It's not a great shot.
It kind of like to the right of the green.
But then it starts kind of looping back.
around. It keeps rolling and rolling. Next thing you know, I get a hole in one. And then he flashes
up a picture of him and the ball. And I'm like, did he just say he's been playing for six months
and he got a hole in one? Dude, immediately I was pissed. Dude, dude's lying for the sermon.
Oh, you think so? He's lying. He didn't have anything to talk about. He's like,
I know what I'm saying today. Yeah. I've never like, I'd get happy for people to get hole in
Once. If I'm with you, dude, and you get a hole in one, I'm like, let's go.
Water.
The fact that this dude's been playing for six months and gets a hole in one, I was pissed.
Did you walk out?
Was it also, had you lost some bets earlier before?
No, it was too early.
The game's hadn't started yet.
Because I get in moods to, well, I'll fight people on Twitter.
It's not even their fault.
I wonder if you're mad at your, if Arkansas loses, I'm like, I'm ready to fight.
It's starting to be a thing where my kids are like, if I'm in a bad mood, they're like,
oh, dad's bets aren't going well.
Oh, man.
I'm like, no, that's not it, guys.
It's not it.
They're going to say that crap in therapy when they get older.
It's the fact that you can't turn off the lights when you're out of the bathroom.
We knew we had to walk on eggshells when dad's bets were going on.
His parlay didn't hit.
Do we, Mike, do we have to do a parlay?
We don't have to.
Cool.
Take the week off.
Cool.
Take the week off so we can just enjoy some football.
This is good for us, guys.
Do a bye week in a parlay?
Let's do it.
Let's do one.
A Black Friday Parlay.
Well, so Friday and Saturday games?
Yeah, there's a lot on both days.
You want to do a four-gamer
and then just blame everybody who lost?
Hey, there you go.
Okay.
I'll go first.
Indiana minus 28 and a half at Purdue.
When in doubt.
I knew that was happening.
Oh, Purdue.
You're going to go against...
Coach Odom?
I'm like going against him.
You are?
By taking that big.
Dude, I really think of stuff like that one, I bet.
I don't want to go against Odom.
I just...
So I skipped that game.
I would rather not lose
in our little group of shame.
So I'm going to go with that one.
Kevin?
Yeah, I'm going to keep riding that sooner train
minus 10 against LSU at home.
Yeah, at Oklahoma, right?
Yeah, I don't think LSU can put it
more than 10 points.
Yep.
They should have redo senior night
for Coach Kelly and his son.
I know, just those two.
At Oklahoma because I'll let them in.
For sure.
You know, like when they do like the weddings
at hospitals and stuff?
It should do that for that.
It should be a tell me something good, where they get to redo senior night for LSU.
They reenacted.
He gets to walk out and get a ball with his dad.
What a moment.
Bard from the stadium.
That would be sweet.
Hey, Oklahoma, you know what to do.
Make it happen.
Brandon.
Oregon minus seven over Washington.
Okay.
Eddie.
I'm doing it.
And this is the one that's going to hit, boys.
The Texas A&M Aggies.
Minus two and a half over the long horns.
In Austin, right?
Mike, you going?
Nah.
Staying here.
Oh, that sounded really sad, Mike.
No.
No, I just think we're going to lose that game.
Okay, really bad.
Oh, you think you're going to lose it really bad?
Like, more than two points?
Three points?
I don't.
I think so.
I don't.
I think the sports world hates me so much.
Texas is going to freaking win this game.
Oh, because of you?
Yeah, I'll be the alone reason.
I have that kind of power.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah. All right, that's it.
Thank you all.
I hope you have a wonderful rest of the holiday.
Wonderful. Don't eat too much. Don't overdo it.
Maybe you've already eaten a lot.
Well, I'm talking about the leftovers.
Oh, continuing.
My problem is the pie, man.
Especially when I don't need the pie. I don't need another slice of pie.
But the fact that there's pie left, I always have to get some.
You have some of my weight. It's being dairy-free.
Yeah.
I would overeat like crazy.
That's huge.
Now I just am sad.
That's the change out.
Instead of being like
so full and ashamed of myself because I've overeaten,
I don't eat it at all.
I don't get it, so I'm sad.
It's like either way you're going to be sad.
Yeah, so I've traded shame for sadness.
That's good.
But overall, health wins in this.
Health wins.
I miss the shame.
Yeah.
Thank you guys.
We'll see you on Monday.
that whistle Eddie. Goodbye, everybody.
