Join me, Greg Rosenthal, and Jordan Rodriguez after night one on Thursday. Nick Shook joins me night two Friday and then Sunday to recap everything that went down over the three days in Pittsburgh. We'll tell you who won the draft and which players were my favorite picks.

Listen to NFL Daily with Greg Rosenthal on the IHard. Art Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me, Clivert Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, my basketball and college football journey, or my career in sports media.

Well, now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifers Show. This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated. So let's get to it. Listen to The Clifford show on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok's podcast network on TikTok. When a group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist, they take matters into their own hands. I vowed. I will be his last target.

He is not going to get away with this. He's going to get what he deserves. We always say that trust your girlfriends. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe, on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Cameras? No, no. Did you want to do cameras?

No, we'll do cameras. We'll do cameras in a minute. We'll do this and then we'll take a break and then we'll do cameras. That's a good idea. Yeah, because I got an embarrassing story for you. Ray, so I was in bed with another man. No, but I am one week from Las Vegas, Nevada. I am one week from smelling and hearing the ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, and the...

I am one week from that. Never heard of her. Oh, she is a beaut, and she has been waiting for me. She has been calling my name, and in one week, I go see her. So what is your strategy, are you thinking now? Is your wife going, is the first question? Incorrect. Wife is not going.

That's actually huge. Why? Because sometimes you try to entertain with, Beezer. Hey, just sit on this machine and play it with me. That's not how you make money. How you make money is having a plan and doing it. How you make money is how I taught her at the end of the trip. Hey, you want to do craps with me together and instead of just throwing 200 in a slot? What if we sat here for three hours and played one role, two roles, three roles, then we chill? We made so much dang money going with strategies instead of hoppity hop, machine, this, that. You got to go in

with an idea, an MO. I will say the one advantage of my wife not being there is I will be able to play craps more because she likes to gamble. But if we're playing craps, us being at the same table, she's probably going to do the same kind of bets that I'm doing. So you're not going to make any money or you're going to make the double amount. You know what I mean? Like it's not the same.

It's not fun because she's betting the same thing I am. Like at a blackjack table, you're getting different cards. At a craps table, you're getting the same dice roll. So it's like, okay, this is real exciting. Cool. I lost money. Did you lose money? Yeah, you had to have lost money because you were betting the same thing I was.

Games you can play with your chick. Rulette? None. You play solo. We're trying to make money. Thanks. Blackjack, you can play separate because there's different cards for every person sitting at the table. Are you an idiot roulette with your chick?

You want to lose $200 about two minutes? Oh, I did 10. I was being conservative. What did you do? Oh, I just did two. 50s. Well, nice. We're down to 75 bucks. All right. I'll just do one. Oh, I can't. Table minimums 20. I mean, it's a nightmare. I assume with all the lack of people going to Vegas about how it's been, they're begging you to come to Vegas. Like, they are giving you such great deals to come to Vegas

that the table minimums have to be lower. I don't know about that. I follow tons of people on X that are in Vegas and on Instagram. And all the media tells us, Vegas is dying. I don't know. Vegas is dead. I have this club promoter that works at Tao every Saturday and Sunday. It looks like 10,000 people there at a pool party. And he goes, Vegas is dead. And it's like people just raging. Dude, like the Flamingo, the link and something else, they have a package where you can go for three nights, $300 and they'll give you $200 in food credit. That's how dead they are. It costs $100? Yeah, just to party balls for three days. That's what I'm saying. Like, they are dead. desperate for people. They are giving away money and hotel rooms because they need people there.

And it's not like, I wouldn't say they're losing money. I think it's their quarters. They like telling their investors, if they have them, I don't really know how they're set up. Hey, we made money. Oh, look at our quarter last year. I think just in their heads, it's not as good as it was a previous year. It wasn't as good as it was in the 80s. It wasn't as good as last year. And when you you start losing money compared to last year, you can't continue down that trend or else you lose money the next year. Then you lose money the next year. Next thing you know, you've been losing money for three years straight. They are trying to get butts in seats, drinks in hand, and money in their pocket. You can try and go to the place you told me in Bezor to go to,

Staten Island, Ellis. Ellis Island. I will try to go to that. I'm going to, because it's supposed to be cheap. It's supposed to be fun. It's supposed to be awesome. And with no one else, like, I can just go by myself, boom, let's go. Pop there, pop here, pop anywhere. You have the perfect setup because you don't have the biggest duties. Bones from the big show is doing the most. You? What do you do just like you bop in backstage? Hey, Kelsey Ballerini. How's it going?

You're excited to perform? Great. Boom, you're back to the tables. Basically. I bop in, bop in, bop out. Bop in, bop out. Have they given you your schedule yet? No, not yet. Well, that's a problem.

Because you got to get an idea. Oh, do I want to do the crap? You can't fill in, do craps when you got to be somewhere at noon. You can't. Crapes ain't popping all. off at 10 a.m. No, no, no, craps is a nighttime game. It's very rare. The tables are hopping during the day. It feels weird playing craps during the day. It's just the same energy. It's just

different. But I don't usually get my schedule. Here's the problem is I start making a plan. I start making a schedule. I'm going to go eat at this restaurant. I'm going to go here. And I don't get a schedule to probably Thursday night. And it's like, oh, you got to be somewhere. I'm like, well, never mind. Cancel those dinner reservations. Oh, cancel that. Can't do this. it's like they wait until the last minute when I've already got things planned. It's sort of like when we go to Austin. And for I heart Austin. And I have my golf outing with Gary, Greg, Jacob, charged.

No, he doesn't play golf. Sorry, batters box. I know you weren't invited and you were offended. You got your feelings hurt. But had to see the boys. And it's like every year I try to plan that golf. And then randomly they'll hit me like, oh, actually we need you somewhere at 1 o'clock. What?

One o'clock. You said I was free till 6. But you're going to be able to multiple sessions. It's not like you're just going Friday night. You think you can definitely play some Friday, play some Saturday, and then are we squeezing some in on Sunday? Oh, we absolutely squeezed some in on Sunday before we head to the airplane. Last year, it was a bloodbath.

Vegas might as well have taken my credit cards and just charged whatever they wanted because they were kicking my ass. And as I was walking out of the hotel to get a cab or an Uber or a lift, whatever I took to the airport, I don't remember. I stopped at a roulette table. And the roulette table was hopping. It was hopping. And there's people throwing money, throwing money.

So I start betting. And I pulled out this little slip from my pocket. And if I still have it, I should still have. Oh, where the heck is it? Oh, boy. Don't tell me I lost it. Don't tell me I lost it, Ray. Well, we don't have video going so nobody knows.

Oh, you found it. No, I didn't find it. I want to show it to you. Oh, my gosh. Did my kids get. Oh my gosh. There was this girl that worked in the, at, oh, no, here it is. At Kiss FM in Austin, Katie Claussen was her name.

She goes, oh, we go to Vegas all the time, her and her husband. And she was like, this is what we like to play on roulette. And she drew this little map. You got to put that on the Instagram. She put this and she drew this for me. It has been in my wallet for almost 20 years. and I played it. And this was the first time.

Every year I'm like, oh, I'm going to play it. But I have my system. But my system had been losing. So I sat down with this table with my bags as I'm walking to the cab line. And I pulled out this card. And I played it. And I hit two in a row and brought back some freaking money. Let me see the other side.

Because what I'm looking at is three dots. That's it. That's the system. I have a system as a better system than that. It's $50 on 10, 11. and 12. It's $20 on 2324, and then it's $50 on 31, 32, and 34 and 35, I guess. I can't, that it's start, yeah, there's a crease in it. Sorry, 35. So you put it on the four corners. That is her system. And I played it. And boy, did I hit two in a row. And I really, and I'm still

kicking myself because there was a bunch of people playing. And I don't know. These guys, guys were throwing big money on these numbers. And number 32, there was a stack about yay high. I mean, there was people throwing hundreds, hundred. And I mean, they had all, everybody for some reason thought 32 was hot. And I was like, wow, they're crazy. And that's how I hit. It's 32. But I didn't throw anything just on 32 with them. I just had it on the all four. And they were all going crazy. It was banana. Ray, guys from Dubai. No, I don't know where they were from. They, they, uh, think they were from America, but. What games are you going to play? I'm going to play. Blackjack, blackjack, craps, roulette. The big

three. Slots. You're doing slots, too? I do slots. See, if Bayzer's not with me, I would never do a slot. I mean, I very rarely do the slots. Very rare. But every once in a while, you got to try them, man. You can hit. You've got to do the wheel of fortune because you want to spin that wheel. We And then there was a ping pong one that I played one time. The other ones, oh, and I play Buffalo. Yeah, I'd say kind of stay away from that one. Buffalo, man, your money goes quick. I know, but we went and hit it years ago.

That doesn't mean those machines. I don't like that they changed the location. No. Because the Buffalo was right next at the Cosmo to the cage. And then they moved the machines. That has to mix something up. They do that on purpose. And people tell me, oh, they don't hit anymore.

Yeah, I don't even, they move the Buffalo to the other side of the room next to the bar. What? It was right next to the cage. I mean, it was a cagey environment. You had people coming in, giving money, people getting more money, people yelling, people cheering. You had all the new people residents coming in, checking out. You had people that are leaving the place mad. It was the perfect setup to play slots.

Now they're in the corner, and I got to go like in a dimly lit room and play Buffalo? All past. Thanks. So, yeah, that's my plan. That's really my plan going to Vegas. Besides that, nothing really. I'll probably bet some sports. It's going to be amazing.

It's going to be a great week, but it's one week away. And I want to tell you that last week, I went back to school night, right? With the kids, you know, you go meet the teachers. Didn't really need to meet the kindergarten teacher because Baby Box 1 had the same kindergarten teacher as Baby Box 2. He's a year older. But out of respect, you want to go to the teacher's little speech and, you know, things like that. and who the heck is that? I mean, these podcast rooms, even with a sign that says on air,

we have somebody trying to break in the room every single day. It's really annoying. So anyway, I go in and my wife's like, all right, listen, you've got to get a guy's number. You've got to meet somebody. Whoa. She was like, you've got to meet parents. You never meet the parents. Yanky.

And so I'm sitting there. Hey, man, can I get your number? Baby Box 2's desk. And there's a dad and a mom sitting right to my right, the kid that sits right next to my son. And another, like his table had three parents out of the five parents that sat at the table. It was crazy in that session because they have three different sessions. Oh, you have two dads? And I don't know.

We brought up something about soccer and the dad starts talking. And he's like, oh, do your boys like soccer? Oh, yeah, they love it. We go to the National SC games. He goes, oh, we've been a few times, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, oh, this dude might be cool. Let me go ahead. And I was like, well, hey, man, if we don't ever use our tickets, let me text you.

I'll give you our tickets. Wow, that's quite an offer. Let me get your number. You're just going to randomly give a guy tickets for free? Or, hey, if we're not using our tickets, maybe we can come to a negotiation. No, it's, and here's the thing. He's like, man, that is awesome. Are your boys really into sports?

I was like, oh, my God, they love every sport, blah, blah, blah. And he goes, dude, I work in the athletic department over at Vandy. Wow, that's a transaction. And I said, oh, really? It goes, yeah, dude. So, like, we get tickets to any sporting event. So if we're not using them, I'll hit you up. What the pavia?

Give them to us. And I'm like, wow, okay, amazing. Like, this sounds great, dude. Let me get your number. And I said, I'll text you real quick. And that way you have my number. Area code. And so I said, what's your area code?

615. I don't think it was 615. I'm not sure what it was, but I texted him. I was like, hey, man, met you back to school tonight. I just wanted you to have my number. Cool meeting you. Hopefully we'll chat soon. Never applied.

That went well. Never applied. And that was a week and a half ago. I told you I shouldn't get guys numbers, honey. And so last Saturday, NSC had a game and I couldn't go to the game. National Soccer Club had a game. And I was like, all right, dude, let me text this dude. On my birthday?

No, no. I guess it was the week before. Oh. Sorry. Sorry. It was the week before. Freaking kidding. me. It was Labor Day weekend.

I would have went and got a house. And so I hit him up, man. I was like, hey man, just me again. I met you at Back to School Night. And I was like, National Soccer Club. We had talked about it at Back to School night and it looks like we're not going to be able to use the tickets tonight because we have other obligations. Just wanted to see if you wanted to take your family to the game with our tickets. And Ray, what did he say?

he called you? No, I never replied. And over two? Was he drunk at back to school night? I don't know, man. It was a little awkward. I did what my wife said. I asked the guy, hey man, let me get your number.

Thought he was cool. We talked about soccer, talked about this. And he's like, oh, you know, my kids, my daughters are into it to a certain extent. But then they get bored. He goes, but we go to a lot of, you know, the Vandy's, sporting events. I'm like, yeah, man, well, it's perfect. Like, we, we had sports in common. Like, we had that foundation. He even said, yeah, man, like, if I don't use the tickets, I can give you our tickets to whatever Vandy sporting event. And then when I actually

texted him, he doesn't text back. That's twice. Twice. How many, do I text him ever again, or is that it? Like, am I done? I almost think the way you guys hit it off that you entered the number incorrectly. And the way to get over that hurdle is immediately call and be like, hey, I'll call you and then you'll have my number and then you see if his phone rings. That way you know that it was perfect. The chances out of, what is it, four, three, seven, and three, ten numbers, and it's hurried and you got kids grabbing it, your legs, putting their thumb up your ass, you're going to enter a number incorrectly. I bet you're texting somebody else. Dude, I never thought about the call. It's just like learning somebody's name. When you're doing

a phone number, you're going to screw it up. Learning somebody's name, unless you repeat it to them, five times you're never going to remember it. So I'm always like, oh, yeah, I'll dial it in right now. What? It was Sarah? Cool. Or never, never mind. It's not a girl's name.

It's a guy. Dan, Dan, Dan. Before you were married. Yeah, Dan, Dan, Dan, call you. Oh, it's lighten up. Oh, perfect. Dan, Dan, there's so much room for error. Yeah, so maybe I am text.

Maybe I should text and be like, hey, man, am I texting the wrong number? Is this not you? You fake him with a butt dial? Oh, hey man. I guess I'm. butt-diled you. Sorry, dude. Didn't mean to call you. Or you just go, hello? And they're like, hello? And I'm like, you called me, dude? You called me? No, you called me? Oh, that's my fault, man.

Oh, hey, man, you want those tickets? Oh, you didn't call me? Oh, my bad, dude. Oh, my fault. So, yeah, so I'm sitting in this awkward, like, parallel where I'm just like in no man's land. I got the guy's number, put myself out there. And he's not giving himself back. He'd given nothing back to me, nothing in return. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I saw, You know what I saw? I saw us on a Saturday afternoon with the Pavia brothers getting smashed at a vandy game. They got to jail on that one. Yeah.

Yeah. No, I know. But that's why I thought, man, how crazy to be if we ran into them at a tailgate, me, you, Justin, out there with the Pavia brothers. We become best friends. Pavia comes over and starts hanging out on the pod. The Vandy tailgates don't get as crazy as you'd like them to. Oh, really? They're pretty tame.

I never really been. know where they tailgate. Like, where do they tailgate? Because they don't really have a big parking lot by the stadium. They don't. You're right next to the stadium. Unless they've changed with the new construction, the time me and Cruz went, you are the cool thing, three blocks from the stadium. But I think we're partying in the parking lot for engineering. We were on campus. I mean, there was people taking shots in like the nursing department parking lot. Like breast milk or like real shots? Shots, shots. But your Vee's, is on Vanderbilt campus.

Huh. Yeah, because I'm just trying to think of where they would put up tents and like, do they block off roads so you can put up tailgates in the middle of the road? No. There's some roads, but I believe those might have been alumni and stuff, but I'm telling you, it's small. But now it's big. The stadium looks big now. So it could be different. My advice right now is pretty old. I'll text on it. But hey, man, thinking about going to the Vandy game this weekend, where can I tailgate? That and... Since you work in the athletic department. You probably know all the answers.

And for whatever reason, I think we didn't drink at the tailgate. Huh? Me and Cruz didn't. You went, hold on. You were going to a football game tailgate, going to the football game, and you had no drinks? I think you couldn't drink. Where we parked, you were not allowed to have alcohol. Oh, times have changed, right?

Times have had to have changed. Right, no, no. That was eight, ten years ago. Dude, for you, I'm hoping it is this crazy scene, but. But I'm not going to the game. I don't have any ticket. We played Georgia. We played AJ Green.

And it was basically just the Georgia people throwing down. Vandy didn't really have that many tents. Oh. So maybe that's why he had, I don't know. But yeah, I just wanted to give you, I put myself out there like my wife asked me to do. Dude hadn't texted me back. Next time I got it. I'm going to call first, text later.

What is the place called? You're in like a weird place, not penitentiary. There's another word with a P. you're in penitentiary. The pavon. No. No, it's close to that. Close to that word. But you've got to think of it.

It actually impugnage your memory. Hold on. I'm in prison. Palladium or something. You're in... Peranium? You're in this weird place between heaven and hell. Yeah, I'm in...

I'm stuck in no man's land. No man's land is a way to say it. Is that the word? No, but that'll work. You're in no man's land right now. pump no not pomp no not pomp in circumstance

that's the graduation I'm in penitentiary penitentiary it's close to that that's prison I'm in a weird spot

a pickle that that works okay I'm in piccadilly but no you're in that weird place where he hasn't text back you've sent the text what is it purgatory

purgatory purgatory it was a pee it. You're in purgatory right now. I hope you get out. Thank you, ma'am. And I, I just don't want any school events, but if he doesn't text me before a school event, like, I can't talk to him. Like, I can't walk to him back. Hey, man, how you been? Man, how you been? Like, what's up, dude? No, I didn't text you, man. I got a new cell. Honey, you're here phone number. Yeah, I don't know. So, yeah. Well, we'll take a break. We'll come back. And, yeah, we'll do cameras finally.

Yeah, yeah. Finally, for the first time this week. We'll be right back. The 2026 NFL draft is here and the NFL Daily podcast has it covered from all angles.

They're like, dude, why don't you guys do this? And I said, you know what? I sat at home. I thought about it. I was like, you guys are right. You guys are 100% right. You're drinking prime. My kids would love you right now.

My kids would love you. Damn it. I wish I'd have got that when your kid was here. Yeah. No, but no. I decided, you're right. Monday. Coaches Convention 5 tickets on sale.

And listen, we're not going to have all the fancy descriptions up. Like, I've been telling my wife, like, look, she's like, I got to make them perfect. I'm like, no, we have to get the tickets up so people believe that it's happening. We can worry about putting the details in the next week or two. Then we will be able to put the details up. Just get the tickets up sale, up on sale, make sure there's payment plan options available. And that is all happening on Monday. Write a check.

Our butts can't cash. No, that's not it. I'm just saying we've got to get this train moving. My wife keeps making excuses about, oh, we got to do this. I'm like, no, they just need to know the tickets are there. They need to be able to buy tickets so Monday you can start buying your tickets to coaches convention five. If you want to meet Callaway in the flesh, coaches convention five. He is minus 10,000 to one odds to be comeback coach of the year.

So he is a heavy favorite. Yeah, but I don't know. The Weed brothers from Colorado, they have not been the last couple. No, they didn't come last year. so they could get comeback coaches of the year. For taking a couple off. Yeah, and then making a reappearments. Tall guy, he's not going to come.

He doesn't like Nashville is what I've been told by Miguel. So I don't think tall guy will be here. Cappy, oh, he'll be here. He's not comeback player of the year. I don't know what he is, but he'll be here. Yeah, Cappy has randomly hit me up about some gambling talk, but he just said, always bet the Yankees. Or who was that?

On 9-11. That wasn't even Cappy. That was our dude. That was our guy. Our guy that loves to gamble. Brandon. Brandon and his wife went to some run-down casino. Some run-down.

And then he goes, hey, always bet Yankees on 9-11. He was right. He won. He did win. I have never followed. I haven't had to look and see if that stat is actually correct if the Yankees always win on 9-11. But if he put it on Facebook, it has to be accurate.

I got to say props to us. Two Vegas ones, an abject failure. After that, Vegas and then Nashville to the, 2003, 24, 25, wow. To have another convention, I can't believe we've had five. We've only had four, but we're going to be having our fifth this next coming winter so you can buy tickets on Monday. I can't wait. So the first one was before the pandemic?

No, it was after. It was coming out of the pandemic. That's when it happened is when I was in the shower washing the left armpit. And I was like, dude, everything is starting to open back up. people have been cooped up in their houses. They haven't been able to go anywhere fun. We have to throw a party. And a party was thrown.

I mean, people are cooped up in their houses. I still came to work every day. My life did not change. I might be the only person in America that's life didn't alter one iota. Oh, yeah, you are. And then I did see, I saw something online. I am trying to confirm it that the win, Las Vegas. Whoa, it's going to be in Vegas?

Nope. is getting rid of the triple zero on the roulette wheel. They are banning that from their casino. Finally, I don't know what made them think that was a good idea to add it to the wheel in the first place, especially when you didn't tell me about it a couple years ago when I put some money down on the roulette wheel and it hit palm tree. And I had never seen a palm tree and I didn't know what it meant.

And they go, oh, no, we just added another green. We didn't have a number. So we put a palm tree on it. Wow, thanks. Take my money. Huh. Yeah, the greens, guys, Back when I was online gambling, so there was, there's European roulette and there's American roulette.

American roulette had two greens. European roulette had one green. Why don't we play European? That is amazing. So which one do you think I would log into and play? European, I hope. Right. So I never understood why anybody on these online gambling sites, no longer they're offshore.

They're no, they're illegal. Why would you ever play American roulette when you can play with? with one green and your dummy was playing with three. No, didn't even notice, man. I promise you, I didn't even look. I just walked up and the table and put my money on it. And I think that's what happens is people that don't know that are just there kind of casual, they don't really play roulette.

They don't realize that three is a disadvantage to them, that they are losing percentages on their chance to win. And they just, oh, yeah, I'm just here for a good time. Let's get drunk. Me and the boys, what up frat daddy? What up frat daddy? What up, loafers? What up loafers?

What up khaki shorts? What up khaki shorts? What up your Aizod shirt? I don't know what kind of shirt they wear, but they wear the colored IZod or whatever. Lamello ball shoes. Or the polo. Oh, dude, what's up, broskey? What's up, brosky?

Yeah, man. We're from Ole Miss, man. Oh, yeah. We're from LSU. Let's just play some roulette. Oh, hey, man, you got a sick, man. You got a sick. Woo!

College, bro, man. You know, there's three greens. Oh, that's how roulette is, man. No. And you guys may think that. this is just me. This is me being me. When I used to gamble, it was me in college. I was the only

guy. I would be in a room. This is me just to say, I don't really like the allure of everybody gambling at the same time, all these frat-daddies. I get to that in a minute. When I gambled, it was me in college in a room all by myself. Everybody's just drinking, a little bit watching the game, but I'm cheering

for USC. I'm cheering for Stanford. I'm cheering for Penn State. Come on, let's go. Whoa. What are you yelling for, man? Penn say? No, dude, I bet on it, man. Oh, really? Wow, how'd you bet on it? I was the only kid in the room that was betting these games. Billy, what? You did a parlay? Let's go havesies on the next one then. Now, with all these 30 frat-ddies in a room rooting for the same bet, all yelling, I always like how secret it was. Yeah, I didn't have that in college. Like, I didn't bet on anything because

there was no betting. Bro, the coolest thing is I went to a Christian school and I was on the phone. It was, I'm this old, where you would call the sports book and they would place it for you because I couldn't log in on the website. Because our school, it was Christian, it blocked all the websites. So I call them on the phone, and I'm walking to dinner. We had to go between 5 and 6. So it's like 5 p.m.

I'm walking to dinner with all these Christian dudes, Christian myself. Amen. I'm like, yeah. Yeah, I want to go, right, Michigan State. Go Michigan State plus 12. All right. Yeah, bet. Put 50 on it. All right, later. And my one friend goes,

Did you just place a bet? And I go, yeah, do you place it with my bookie. It was unheard of to bet back then. And now that everybody's doing it, it's just, it's a group thing. So the reason I'm saying all that, guys, remember, you don't got to do their bets. Bro, come on, bro.

Hammer the minus three, bro. Hammer it. Hammer what you want to hammer. Hammer her, hammer him. It doesn't matter. Love is love is love. Or hammer the bets. I don't care.

Whatever you want to do. Hammer the keyboard. On Monday morning. And yes, for the tickets. But also, just because people are hammering the three greens, you don't have to do it. No. You can step back. I'm going to wait and play in Europe.

I'm not going to play in America where there's two greens. So you don't got to bet the same stuff other people are betting. But you do have to go to the convention with that one. That's group thing. Yes, everybody wants to do that. You know, where we're saying, think for yourself, be an individual, do what you want. No, no, no. This is what you want.

I mean, I believe our boy from Sydney is coming back for the convention. He had emailed saying he might come to the convention. and that he said, I think you need a visitor from down under for the convention. I was like, bring it. Bloom an onion at Outback. I came up here for the racetrack and watched the soccer and watch the cross. I said it'd be really smart for you to give a write-up to your daily newspaper about the convention since you're a newspaper reporter. Can I tell you?

You're still a week out from Vegas, right? I am a week out from Vegas. Can I just give you a warning? Something that I did in Thanksgiving. I was looking back at pictures last time I was in Vegas. and a mistake I made, I don't want you to make the same. Please. Because I was so excited to go to Vegas.

This is unforgivable. So I'm a column better, and I told you guys on the podcast. So there's three columns. So it's like the one, three, six, nine, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36. Okay. Actually, that one might start it. It doesn't matter. Bro, I understand.

It has been a minute since I bet. I understand. There's three columns. I got the gist. So I'm a column better. and I was sitting there right before a Thanksgiving meal, right before, in Vegas with Beezer. She's getting mimoses at the bar. I have this image just burned in my memory.

It's just beautiful. We're at, what, it wasn't, was it Paris? It's the one with palm trees and stuff, and it, it might have been Paris. It might have been Mirage. But then it is no longer. It's not Mirage. It was Vegas. It was Paris.

Okay. So we're at Paris. She's getting drinks at the bar. I've never really had good luck at Paris. I've never really won any money at Paris, which is. It was Paris. I know. You just said that.

It was Paris because it was where I would stay with Michael on the couch. Okay. So it's Paris. Beazer's getting mimoses at the bar. And I go up, I'm having a blast doing the roulette. I did columns. So I did my first column and middle column. Boom, win.

I would do third column and middle column. Boom, I win. I was up to 250. It was great after the day before because we got rinsed. And I was so excited to gamble. I put, I'd say in each one of my columns, I was building it up, I had $50. So I had $100 on the table, and instead of putting it in the columns, I put 50 on the number 35 and 50 on the number 36.

So I would have won 50 times 36 if it would have hit, 50 times 36 equals I don't want 1,800. And the roulette guy spins it. And I was like, yeah, I want another column. Yeah! The guy goes, you didn't have that column covered up. you put it on two numbers instead of the two columns. Oh.

And so it went from me thinking I had won $50 because you actually put $100 out to win 50, 66% odds. And I had actually just put it on two numbers, so I had about 4% chance. And I missed that number by one number, salt in the wounds. And the guy goes, I had no idea why you were cheering. You had lost. I go, oh my gosh, dude, I put my money instead of on the columns on the individual numbers. I was that excited to gamble.

Yeah, that's like I was at Casino Royale one time. And it was Garrett was there. My wife, Garrett's wife, Ryan, more there. And Casino Royale, let me tell you. That is the lowest of low on the Las Vegas strip. Lowest of low. And they had a roulette table. This is how old this place is.

It had a roulette table and then it had two roulette tables on each side of the wheel. So it was split. Like you had one roulette table over here and it was all managed by one wheel. Confusing. Yeah, so you can have a bunch of people over here and a bunch of of people over here and you only spun one ball. And it got it. And it was for both tables. Not so confusing.

And I walk up and they're gambling. I'm like, oh man, I've been losing my ass. Lunch Vegas or lunch, Austin. So I go, all right, whatever. And I throw 50 on Red 21. Spin. Z. Z.

Red 21. Oh. Sorry, sir, that's an invalid bet. What? The maximum you can bet on a number is 25. That's not a bet. And you put how much? 50.

Oh, they let it hit and then took it away? Told me it was an invalid bet. Dude, how did you not sue that place? And here's what I should have done. That would have been 1800. That's the same thing I did. I had been drinking, and I probably should have raised hell and said, let me talk to the pit boss, and they should have just given me the bet for the $25.

Yes. But they didn't give me anything. And I was like, this is bull crap. I'm never coming back. Instead of yelling at him, I should have said, I need to talk to the pit boss. Give me the pit boss. Look, man, my money's on there. I didn't see the sign.

So my wife, just pay, you know, like, whatever. Save 25 is my wife, 25's mine, and we get all that money. Or just give me half of whatever it is because I put the bet down. So obviously I had to put 25 down there. And you obviously had a flight home to think about this instead of in the moment. You didn't think of any of that. And I didn't think of inebriated. And I didn't think about talking to the pit boss.

And they were like, man, that sucks. And we let us like, well, I'm not gambling here anymore. And it wasn't until hours later when I sobered up, like maybe the next day that I was like, why didn't I call the pit boss over and be like, hey, man, like, I got the money out there. Why don't you pay me for the max bet that you can bet and we'll call it even. But I didn't even do that. I just stormed off in anger. You got to love alcohol when I was in Vegas. for Thanksgiving games.

I was being cocky, and it was the Cowboys. They were losing so bad, I threw the bet ticket in the trash, just being cocky. And Beezer's there, and I'm all laughing everything. Then it started getting closer.

So I then reach in the trash can and get my bet ticket back out, and then it was a bad pass, I believe, at the very end of the game. So then I threw the bet ticket again in the trash can. So it was me playing with the trash can for like a matter of 10 minutes, all because I was drunk.

So guys, never do. to throw your bet in the trash can because nobody's watching you. No one cares that you're throwing it in the trash can. You're doing it for dramatic effect like Jimmy on Big Brother when he threw his sunglasses earlier this season. By far the worst season I've ever watched in my life. It is so freaking frustrating, but no one cares.

You're doing that act for yourself. No one is paying attention to you flipping your glasses going and I'm going to get some respect. Or someone's not watching you get mad at your bet and throw it in the trash can because you know what? people are losing their ass all over and then other half are winning. They're looking at the screen. They're not looking at you and the trash can. And also, watching other people make dumb, drunk mistakes is just as fun. It is.

And way better than you making those dumb drunk mistakes. So instead of putting everything on a football game, put a little bit. Watch the people that put everything on it. Instead of putting everything on a roulette wheel, put $20. Watch the people that put everything on it. Yeah. And I'll hang up. And if you want to see people make mistakes and drunken money,

mistakes at that. Monday. Tickets go on sale. Coaches Convention 5. Soar losers.com. We'll take a break. We'll be right back. The 2026 NFL draft is here and the NFL Daily podcast has it covered from all angles. Join me, Greg Rosenthal, and Jordan Roderig after night one on Thursday.

Listen to NFL Daily with Greg Rosenthal on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way,

this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show. This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated. One week, I'll take you behind the scenes of the biggest moments in sports and entertainment, and the next we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even music. The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast, it's a space for honest conversations,

stories that don't always get told, and for people who are chasing something bigger. So, if you've ever supported me, or you're just chasing down a dream, this is right what you need to be.

There's two golden rules that any man should live by.

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.

on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Ray, we got an email. One week ago tonight, you know what we did? We celebrated your birthday, Ray. We went to Pitts' House. We did a special podcast. We got an email. What's up, losers?

You said no one listened to the episode where you were live from Pitts' House, but I thought it was great. Listening to you guys being dudes over a couple of drinks, watching football with a die-hard fan of one of the, the teens was entertaining. You should definitely make that a regular thing. Maybe a live stream, question mark. One other thing you might enjoy.

I listened to you with my two boys in the car and didn't think they pay any attention. The other day, during the intro, my three-year-old yelled, Soar Losers! It was a proud dad moment. I often wear my original Soor Losers podcast shirt, and he knows the names of the each face. He says, Raimundo, Lunchbox, and He Who Shall Not Be Named. Keep up the good work. Josh from North Dakota.

Good stuff. That's a good guy. That is a great guy, Josh from North Dakota. Thank you. I appreciate it. And speaking of the pod, Baby Box went over to the neighbors, who is a fourth grader and third grader to play some soccer the other day.

And I don't know what happened. I wasn't there. What was your segue? Speaking of what? Speaking of the pod. Okay. I don't know. I thought you said, did you say speaking of a great dad?

I said a great guy. I didn't say that. This would have been an amazing segue. Speaking of a great dad. Ray, I'm going to tell you the story about myself. And Baby Box comes home. He's like, Dad, Dad, I'm not playing with them anymore. I'm like, why?

Because they weren't playing right. They weren't playing right. And I kept telling them, hey, that's a handball or that's out of bounds. And they called me a sore loser. He goes, and not like the pod we do, but a sore loser. We? And I'm like, who is this guy? You've done the pod one time?

And now it's the pod we do? Who do you think you are, son? And that's it. Well, wait, tell me that one more time. And I made my wife come over there and he goes, yeah, mom, mom, they were calling me a sore loser and not the pod that we do. And she goes, oh, really? And he goes, yeah, I mean, I do the pod. But a sore loser is like someone that's not good when they lose it, throws a fit and cheat.

And that's not me, Mom. And I was like, all right, bud, well, then don't go back over there and play. 10 minutes later, he went back over there to play. He just wanted to come and tell us they were calling him a sore loser. not like the pot. And I was like, man, this dude really thinks he's a part of this pot. That is the namesake, though, sore loser. Yeah, he's going to inherit this because, I mean, the eggs, I can't really pass it down

to your eggs. So when he gets old enough, he's going to take over the pot. But that was a pretty cool moment. I haven't heard Beezer do that yet, what that we do. I haven't heard her because it's our podcast. We sign the contract. I agree. Then we never had for a couple years, but then we had one.

And now we do. And now we're under contract to do pods. put them out so people will listen, and hopefully they'll buy their tickets, like we said last segment, to the convention. They go on sale Monday. Here's my question. Yeah. What was our biggest attended? Vegas. Like the first one?

First Vegas. Was the biggest attendant. Biggest. And so wonder when we put tickets on that convention. I think last year we were down because we put them on late. Yeah, we didn't put them up until like October or something. Okay. So then we're ahead of the game.

That's all I care about. Here's the thing. Every year, this is what I say. Every year I say, we need to make money. No, every year I say we are going to put them out earlier, put them on sale earlier, we're going to plan it better, we're going to have it booked, everything lined up. But then smash cut, I look up and six months has passed since the last convention. I'm like, holy crap, how has it been that long? Because you get so excited and enamored with it and it goes through your head and then boom,

you forget about it. These people, they're playing in the Super Bowl two years in advance. They don't wait until six months before and start being like, man, we should probably come up with some plans for the convention. That is not how you have a successful convention. But this year, it's going to be great. And we were going to put on tickets on sale in August. That was my original plan. August 1st.

After last convention, I told him, I was like August 1st, they had to be on sale. We missed it by a month and a half. I'm not organized. Give your speech about Lollapalooza. Oh, well, yeah. And then my kids are excited because they got the. little fair tickets, carnival tickets, I guess. I don't even know what it is from their school.

And it says, oh, because they did some reading challenge or they did something where they cleaned up the hallway. I don't know what they did. They cleaned up trash on the playground. So they got a ticket to the state fair admission free. And they both bring one home. We got to go to this. We got to go to this.

I was like, okay, I promise, we're going to go to it. We're going to look. We're going to take your ticket and we're going to get in free. And then I look at the ticket. Sorry, son. That's for the lower class. And it says, ticket is only valid Monday through Thursday. Well, how convenient is that? My kids go to school Monday through Thursday.

So we're not going to be out at the state fair at 8 o'clock at night on a weekday. Yes, I know, it's crazy. They got to get their sleep. They're grouchy after a long day at school. So now I have to go this weekend and pay full price for all of us to get into the state fair because my kids are so hyped about it. And I don't even know what it has at it. I don't even know what is going on.

I don't know what rides they have. But we are going to the state fair this weekend. State fair in Texas, if there was one in Austin, or it was a county fair or something. Maybe county fair. When I worked promotions, I would set up every day and it lasted two or three weeks. I would end my internship at the sports show. And I would go set up inflatable for this dang fair. And I would ask myself every day that I set it up.

Why are people coming here? But it must be for the kids. It's a lot for the kids. I know my sister, my dad has taken the grandkids when they're in Austin. I think it's to the rodeo fair. I don't know. And I know my sister's kids all won goldfish. Because they're like, can we play this game to get a goldfish?

She's like, yeah, no one ever wins that. They all three won. And my sister has done such an amazing job of keeping the goldfish alive that they're now so huge. She had to buy a bigger tank in the goldfish are two and a half years old. and she's like, how? Like goldfish don't make it this long. My brothers, his son's goldfish lasted three days. Batter the box.

Same thing as Kittle. Oh, man. Hey, same thing as Purdy. Same thing as Jaden Reed. But do you know who that is? He's the wide receiver of the Packers. He broke his collarbone last night. I thought we were still sticking with the 49ers.

Oh, sorry. Same thing as Brandon Ayuk. I think that's all that's injured. I don't know. McCaffrey's calf. Caffrey's good. Yeah. So, yeah, so we're going to the state fair, man. I'm excited about the state fair.

I don't really know what's going to be there, but I'm assuming they're going to have funnel cake, which is always a fantastic option. But people will go there earlier because I had to set up at 10 a.m. Yeah. Oh, yeah, it's on a set. Well, we have soccer games tomorrow, and then one of Baby Box's friends has invited him over for a play date

afterwards and to have pizza. and then they would make me take down our table and inflatable because they said people may steal it overnight. Who would steal that crap? And why can you not have a couple of security guys outside of a fair? Well, people will steal anything. It doesn't matter if they need it. They'd want it. If they see something that's unchained, untethered, they're going to steal it.

I looked at our promotions director in the eyes and I go, there's not one thing at this entire fair worth over $10. Why would anybody break in and steal any of this? That's a great question. It's the same thing with... Take it down, take it back to the radio station, then put it in the vehicle tomorrow and bring it back out here and load it up and inflate it again. Every day for three weeks about this fair you're talking about.

Yes. This is a nightmare. This is a nightmare. But you say why would people steal something that's worth nothing? It's sort of like back in Austin... They could steal our generator. That was probably worth a couple hundred. Yeah.

That's it. They would strip off of our generator. But it's just like back in Austin, we used to have these things called prize whores that would show up at every remote. Was there not a more PC name for them? No. Ray, they were actually called price gouging. No, no, they didn't price gouge anything. They came for the free CDs, the free movie tickets, and they would drive all over Austin for a free CD.

or a free hat, and they would be at every single radio remote you could name. If you're at Cricket Wireless from 1 to 3, and then from 5 to 7, you're going to be at the Walmart across town, you're going to see the exact same people. They drive through Austin traffic to come get this free crap, and you know who they are. How's it going, Betty? You know exactly who they are. So when they would come walking up to the table, I would slide all the crap off of it and leave one coozy. You actually got involved in cared?

Oh, dude, I cared because I want the real people. I want the real people that I've never met to come get a T-shirt. These people have got 50 T-shirts. And they'd be like, oh, you got any shirts? I'm like, no, man, sorry. And then they'd stay there. I don't know if I do. Are you a prize?

They would come up and then a new person would come up like, oh, here, you want a shirt. And they'd be like, oh, I thought you didn't have any of like, oh, I just looked down. I found one. Just realized we got one more. sorry prize whipper But you say Why would people

steal things That have no value But what turned out Is that these prize Ores Had a group text And they'd be like Hey I'm going to the

You know 711 on Lamar Are you guys going to be At that remote? Yeah I'm ready to And so While they would go To the remote

One of them that was in The group text Was going to their houses And breaking in And stealing all their stuff and he would always show up late to the remotes. Oh, is this serious? Serious, real deal.

What? Like, legit, he would go steal, break in their houses. But my question is... They had a crime ring within their own group tag? Yes. Because he knew who was going to be at the remote, so who wouldn't be home, who he could go steal the CD? I mean, what could you steal from them?

They can't have anything because they're obviously not working because they're at every single remote. Well, how did the cops bust them with a CD and coozy? It was like, wait a minute, man. You got more than one coozy. That's definitely not yours. Can I get some of those handcuffs? Yeah, you can't.

Get over here, you mother, fucker. Whoa. Well, yeah, that was what it is. And if you want to see what they, listen, you want to see a great movie, guys. I'm going to say a great movie. Hands on a hard body. It is filmed by a, it's about a radio station giveaway of a brand new car where you have to keep your hand on the car the entire time. That is gold watch.

That is a great TV show and it reminds me of the people that would show up at remotes every single time. And I can't wait. Like the fair, what's great about the fair is all the people. It's a great people watching experience. Well, and I bet it hasn't changed. I bet there's going to be a table. There's an inflatable and a generator and there's a radio station there. Setting up and there's some schmuck that's going to have to tear it all down,

schlep it into the vehicle and take it all the way. cross town and do the same damn thing the next day for two weeks straight. You're right. All in that little ticket that your kid brought home. It just brought all the memories back. Yeah, it's going to be a great day, man. But I will say I did hit on a girl, but she spoke Spanish. Oh.

So she started texting me. Phone numbers, I think I was texting. It was a Mexico number. Oh. So it was like, I think she had more digits. You guys can fact check me on this. but she would only text in Spanish so then with Carlos

I would have to type it into Google and see what she was saying I would have to translate it that makes it tough to date man but I could only see her at the fair oh because she was like a carney wow

hey step on up step on up let me guess your birthday let me guess your birthday yeah I wouldn't you have to guess your birthday but I never had never progressed because it was just a fair relationship the fair left town and that was it.

She drove out of your life forever. I think she worked one of the tents, but it's just like she always had to work. She could never leave there. And I could never explain to her in English. It was a lost in translation. She never realized I wanted to go on a date. I think she just thought I was asking questions about the fair.

She thought I was talking about a corn dog, you know? And you were talking about your dog. We'll take a break. We'll be right back.

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. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I don't know. I'm dead serious. Carlos would translate it in his phone, dude,

and realized what she was talking about. The only person I could get a number from is somebody I didn't even speak the same language as. That's great, man. I was low. I mean, I was bottom of the barrel. I can't even freaking find somebody speaks English to date. Yeah. Hey, lunch.

I was looking for the bet slip. I tagged you in on Facebook. I know the bear's lost, but you didn't have to hide it. Ha, ha, ha. Brandon Woods. I don't know what you're talking about. Man, I didn't hide anything on Facebook. The bears suck.

And here's what's sad is the Packers are really good. after watching last night. They're really good and it makes me sick. I don't understand how they can be so good all the time and the Bears just can't ever figure it out. Who MP? Who? Parsons? He was fine. But Jordan Love looked good. I mean, they just looked good.

Matthew Golden, who's supposed to be their stud rookie, they don't even play. Thank God we didn't get him, Justin. Props on not selecting him. He's the one rookie that doesn't get balls. He gets nothing. But yeah, I mean, hey, college football, Georgia, Tennessee. That's a big game. That's the biggest game of the weekend.

Christina Aguilera versus Stockholm. So that'll be in the afternoon, 2.30. Say that again? The quarterback, Joey Aguilera. We call him Christine Aguilera. And then Stockton, the backup guy. Oh, John Stockton's a little son? He's a quarterback for Georgia.

And then we got like a guy named Star Thomas. Squirrel White left the team. I'm still trying to learn the guy's names. See, that's the hard part is you don't know the guy's names. Like I'm watching, like they're showing clips of Kansas basketball, practice on Twitter. And I can't, I'm like, what's that guy's name? He's new.

I don't know him. What's that guy's name? I don't know him. He's new. It's tough. Well, you guys are well behind. The favorite is Houston. They're returning all their guys. The Big 12, you guys are about fifth in the Big 12. Dude, Houston has everybody and they got some great recruits. Oozon's back.

I mean, they choked away the national title, and they're the favorite this year. I get it. Yeah. You return the guy when it was a player efficiency. He was one of the top player efficiency guys in the entire March Madness and he's back on the team. Uzon. And they got to come to Lawrence.

You do not want to come to Lawrence. Dude, we are so stat. Is next year when they're going to add 100 teams for March Maddenous? Luckily, they're not doing it yet. It's going to be, listen, it's going to get out of control. Well, at least Tennessee Tech will get in and Middle Tennessee State.

Yeah, can't wait, man. P. University and Treveca. Oh, Tennessee State. Hey, the Concordia tornadoes are going to get in. The Sagan. What is there? S-L-U-S-L-U-S-Gene Lutheran University. I think someone's going to have to fact-check me on that. But I used to go up there and hang out with a chick that went there.

Sigeen University. I don't know. It was like a Christian school. We know there's a lot of schools in this country. I couldn't figure out for the life of me the shooting. It was on Utah Valley University. Yeah, I never heard of that. There are so many colleges in America.

So many. And they're all going to get into March Madness. Yeah. And some of them, I'm like, do they really have people that graduate from there? And, well, careful. My mom went to a school. John Wesley, it lost its accreditation. Really?

Yeah. So she graduated. And then she could never say she graduated from there on her resume because when she, after she left it went defunct and went bankrupt. and so they lost their seal of accreditation. Wow. My dad, he went to go visit a school in either North Dakota or South Dakota. I don't know which one. He drove up there with my grandpa and they checked it out and they're like, yeah, this is the second biggest city in our whole state.

Your dad was going to go there? Yeah. For a carpentry? No, for school. Maybe play some football. I don't know what he's going to do. Your dad was going to carry the pigskin? And he goes, he looked at his dad and goes.

Ain't for me. Uh-uh. Let's go. Grab your hammer. Hey, way too small, man. Way too small. It was like middle of nowhere, north or South Dakota. And he was like, this is the second biggest city.

Back to, let's go. And you need me staying with a dude in a dorm room and no chicks are allowed until weekends. Yeah. So I don't know. But what do you got? Oh, you're going to see Mansell this weekend, man. See a Manzel, me and Justin. I'm going to try to pull up.

Dude, pull up. I'm going to try to pull up. We're for sure doing it. Bones made me commit to it. And he goes, well, so you do it? Say you got to do it. And I said, I'm going to do it. So as a 40-year-old man, dude, I'm going to go down

with all the kids, the college kids, and get Johnny Mansell's autograph, get a picture, and see skis perform, man. I heard that kid's a real deal. Don't know anything about that. Never heard of skis. Well, he's coming up on the scene. He's a white rapper. He's like a... How long has he been coming up? It's been a 10-year come up. Okay, he's coming up. Yeah, he's next.

Right. But he, I mean, you never, most beautiful, voice of an angel coming out of this guy that looks like he lives in the middle of Nebraska and is a cornhuskers fan. Okay. Yeah, well, I'm going to, I'm going to see if we're going to the fair on Saturday or Sunday. And if I can make it, dude, I'm going to pull up to Johnny Mansell. And I had to watch freaking NFL highlights all week packages on YouTube, packages on NFL.com. Because I didn't have the package. You sure do like packages.

Didn't have the package. Now I'm buying the $10 red zone so I can watch that on Sunday. Because all I had was Jets Pittsburgh and then Titans in the afternoon. Oh, you're not going to see the Titans this weekend? They're playing the Rams, man. Matthew Stafford, Puka, Devante Adams. I mean, come on. Ain't got tickets, but I do need to go to a game this year because last year all I went to was a preseason game.

Yeah, I haven't been to a game yet. My kids want to go. Just tickets are too pricey, man. I'm not paying that kind of price. For this weekend? For any weekend. Dude, I tried to go see him play the Patriots last year. It was $110 a $110 a ticket.

ticket. Let's fact check you. I'm telling you, last year, upper, upper deck, the top of the stadium was $110 a ticket plus fees just to go see them play the Patriots. I was like, I'm not doing it. Rams Titans, $56. Where? There's your view. Okay. You're inside the stadium. How high up are we? My kids can't even see the field, man.

And you can see the construction bill. Yeah, you can. But at least that's the shady side, right? Maybe I'll take them on. What app are you on? Game time. God, I got to remember that. It's the best one, $58 each, including fees.

Oh, that's, okay. And you can wait right until game time. Or hence the name. And go right outside the stadium, take the boys. But they could jump, though. They could go up to 75, then you're screwed. Which happened when we went to Vanderbilt and Purdue, and we had to grease the guy at the turnstiles,

and me, Kevin and Beezer were able to just. sneak in then. His tickets got too high. It was like 200 a ticket. Yeah, and happy birthday. No Teeth Keith yesterday was his birthday kid. I tried to call you, but you did not answer. So happy birthday. And I know you're a little sad about Brock Purdy, but there's nothing finer than being a 49er. Kids celebrate the birthdays because there's too many deaths in this country, kid.

Thanks for the phone call. I celebrated with cake, kid, and a couple beers, kid. and a bet. Willie May's 49ers to cover without Purdy and with that Pierceaw kid and without Kittle. Kid. All right, boys, we got to do some locks. Here we go. It's easy. I mean, speaking of those Rams versus the Titans, that Rams defense is so gross and so disgusting. The Titans' offense looks absolutely putrid. Are they going to be able to move the ball better than they did against Denver, maybe. But I don't give a crap. The Rams can't beat them by a touchdown. They're five and a half

point favorites. Give me the Los Angeles Rams, Matthew Stafford, Puka, Devante. They have star power everywhere. Who do the Titans have? I don't know. Give me the Rams minus five and a half. Take it to the bank. Then the other one. Dude, let's go out to Arizona. And I know, I know, I know. It's weird to trust Kyler Murray. And this is the short bowl. This is Bryce Young versus Kyler Murray. Who can who's tall enough to ride a roller coaster. Neither one of them, but they play in the NFL. One plays, one, I don't know what the hell he does. The Carolina Panthers are God awful.

They are awful. Give me the Cardinals. Minus six and a half. Gosh, trusting them to win by a touchdown is rough. And take it to the bank. And then last but not least, guys, I don't know why. The dolphins are bad, right?

The dolphins suck. They got rolled. I mean, there's two games this weekend that I just don't understand. The dolphins suck. They suck. but they have to be better than what they showed. And they only had to beat the Patriots by one and a half points. Give me the dolphins.

Give me the dolphins to get it right. I don't think they're good, but I think the Patriots suck. Dolphins minus one and a half. Take it to the bank. New England going to Miami in the early in the season, cramps, the heat, the humidity. They're going to wear out by the fourth quarter. I've heard to deal with the cramps. You eat bananas and pickle juice, Lamar Jackson's,

said. Oh, okay. That's pretty cool. That's what he had to have on Sunday. Oh. He said that's why they didn't go for it on some plays because he needed pickle juice and coach knew he was cramping. I didn't know that. So inside info. Guys, I'm going to go college, give you a college lock. This is Baser approved and aloud. Thank you. Needed that little clarifier there. I don't know if you've seen this. I don't even know if it's UCF or USF. Oh yeah, USF, Southern Florida. That's a dang good bowl team boy and they get 17 and a half against miami carson beck who dated the cavender twins then they went and got a boob job he got robbed at gunpoint because he left his garage door open got his car stolen that boy is weak you go bring that i i've heard those florida games

weird things happen usf florida boys Miami Florida boys. Weird stuff happens when the floor, it's a Florida boy on Florida boy crime. Give me USF plus 17 and a half with Bynum. Kid might win the Heisman. They might make the playoffs as the small five. And lock it up.

17.5 USF. Bindam. Have a good weekend, guys. seriously, a team from one of the smaller five conferences has to get in the best ranked that wins their conference. It's either going to be Boise, UNLV, USF, or Tulane. And right now it's USF is the favorite. They beat my, they could win this game outright, much less get 17. I mean, they already outright beat Boise State.

Florida. Then they outright beat Florida. Flagway. Is there any way they're going to be able to keep it going? I mean, it's a lot to ask. Ain't got to keep it going. Lay the 17 and a half. Oh, lock it up.

All right. Goodbye. Don't forget, set your alarms Monday. Tickets on sale. Soor losers.com. Hope to see you in Nashville. What time are they on sale at? Oh, yeah, I forgot to say that.

Do it during the big show. I'll tell bones. Yeah, yeah, okay. Okay, yeah. Do it at 9 a.m.? I'll do it. See if I can get a plug during the big show. All right, 10 a.m. Central?

I'll ask bones if he got a plug. Okay, I'll do 10 a.m. Central. Ray doesn't plug mean gun, drugs? Or butt? Plug? No, it's a plug, I believe. Ear plug, nose plug? In the South, if you got a plug, that means you got a drug dealer.

Oh, didn't know that. Right. Or if you hit a golf ball in the sand trap and it gets plugged. Like, it's buried. For the Manzell event, I got us a plug. Ray, what the hell is that I mean? I don't know. All right.

We got to go. Maybe stanching guy gets you into that. Hey, let's get these stanchions up for Mansell. Y'all get back. Y'all get back. Hey, for Johnny at football, we need at least two stanchions. Hey, y'all want autographs and see Johnny, get the hell back. Get these stanchions up.

Hey, barstool, get these stanchions up. It's Johnny Manzell, for God's sake. The 2026 NFL draft is here, and the NFL Daily podcast has it covered from all angles.
