Are we was was thatapping or keep zapping? Blessing zapping. No, keeps blessing. Was that God bless football? Mike Fuentes. We talked right before this. It's Mike Fuentes. God bless you, Mike Fuentes.

All right. Welcome to God bless football this week. So Stugatz is out in Lake Tahoe playing golf. And I thought it'd be a fun little treat to have a little reunion With some of our friends that we haven't done a podcast with together in a long time and Charlie Kravitz Charlie Kravitz good to be together again Up its and Charlie Kravitz is in town. So it seemed like as good a reason as ever to do one And I I don't regret it yet, but I do feel like I will soon enough.

So- It's early in the proceedings, Billy Gill. It's fair, Billy. Not for nothing. Billy, you threw it to me beforehand to keep this on track. And I'm going to tell you right now, I already bow out on that. I'm already out on trying to keep this on track. Let's just have some fun.

Yeah. So here's what happened is we sat down like 15 minutes ago and we were supposed to get going and we've just been talking for 15 minutes. So I said, Mikey, I need you to do me a favor. I need you to keep us on track today because if not, we're going to be derailed very quickly because as you all know, this is God bless football. So we can't just be talking about Muppets or whatever it is that Lorenzo wants to be talking about. Even though he wants to be talking about those things, we can't be talking about those things because it's, you know, God bless football. So we have to talk about football. What if there's a football tie-in to the Muppets? Lorenzo, if you have a football tie-in to the Muppets, feel free to check it. Challenge accepted.

All right, so go look for a Muppet football thing or whatever it is you want to talk about. Guys, very exciting things. I have for the first time in what, probably nearly three years, and I can't believe that we can get to a banner segment on BBBBBB. Mikey, here's something that I don't know if you know, and it's a confession that I have to make to you. And I don't wanna say it's a shameful confession, but it's a confession nonetheless. So, and I don't know if you guys know this, Charlie Kravitz, I don't know if you know Hume, I don't know if you know Lorenzo, I don't know if you guys know this, Charlie Kravitz, I don't know if you know Hume, I don't know if you know Lorenzo, I don't know if you know, I this past season,

we were doing Monday episodes of God Bless Football, and I created a segment in our Monday episodes of God Bless Football called Billy's Big Board Bets Brought to You By, and I did that just because the acronym was BBBBBB. And BBBBBB was the name of a podcast that we did together years ago, Mikey. So it was a subtle shout out to this podcast that we used to do along with Eliz and the theme of that podcast was very early on got off the rails was baseball, big brother and basketball or something like that. Basketball? Yeah, I think it was basketball. It was baseball, basketball. Basket and basketball or something like that.

Basketball? Yeah, I think it was basketball. It was baseball, basketball, and- Basketball was two of the Bs. That's a cheat, man. That's a cheat. It was baseball, basketball, and big brother because we had just finished wrapping up our ESPN's number one challenge podcast and the big brother season was starting, so we were

gonna do a big brother podcast. And then one episode in, no one watched it and we said, you know what? Let's not. Let's just punt on that. And then we didn't really talk about baseball or basketball either, and it just became kind of like a general podcast. So all that is to say, this is a little BBBBBB reunion today

and Mike Ye is gonna be here along with us, and Mike Fuentes is here as well, but he can't talk because he doesn't have a microphone. He has to push buttons. Yeah, he's doing the working thing. So I can't- That won't stop Lorenzo from tossing to him. Exactly.

Multiple times. Fuentes, for democracy. What? Helldivers, man. Come on, come on. What is Helldivers? Only the best game of 2024. What is it?

It's basically Starship Troopers. You're fighting big giant bugs and Terminator, automatons with your boys, and you're doing it for Super Earth, for democracy. Fuentes knows what I'm talking about. Well, it's good you keep going to him so he can explain it. By the way, if you want more of Lorenzo, you can check out his Bibbidi Bobbidi Buzz podcast

where he talks about all things Disney. Please, if you're a vigilante lawyer out there, if you could just file a lawsuit or look into that on Lorenzo's behalf. Yeah. Yeah, file a cease and desist. Even if it's fake paperwork, just track down Lorenzo's address,

send him off something with official letterhead, give him a bit of a scare. Simple. We love that. Non-profit salary these days. I'm not like you big timers doing big things on your podcast. Mine is a passion project that I do with a friend off to the side.

There's no income coming in, no revenue. We're not getting ad sales yet. I'm not partnering up with a famous golfer. I'm not with Stu Gotz. It's just, don't mess this up for me, people. If you wanna check out what Charlie Hume is doing, check out The Smiley Show with Smiley Kaufman. It's a great podcast.

Yes. Great podcast. Yeah. So anyways... Thanks. That was actually fun diversion. I was actually supposed to be in Tahoe this week with Smiley and would have loved to say hey to Stu Gatze out there.

But as it happens, instead I'm sitting here with you on God Bless Football. So even better. I was gonna say, you say this as like a downgrade situation. Yeah. No, no, no, no. My voice crescendoed up. Can I ask... God bless football. So even better. You say this is like a downgrade situation. No, no, no, no. My voice crescendoed up. Can I ask? I went to upgrade. Let me ask you a question.

How is it because you, as I've followed you on socials and I'm not sure if the fans of the show have followed you on social, but you seem to be playing golf every weekend around the country. So how is it that this is the one golf tournament you weren't able to make it out to? It's because I played so much golf leading into this week that I couldn't

possibly make it to yet another golf tournament. That is it. That I don't know if that makes sense or not. I just got back from Scotland playing 13 rounds of golf over the span of eight days. And that was, I did shoot 70, my best score ever to par. Two under at Kings Barnes. It's good work out there. Yeah, I actually, Smiley banned me from going to Tahoe. He's like, you were playing too much golf. You need to spend some time with your family at home. And so I'm doing this for my family.

I have a new mission. It's to get some relatability to you. And I'm failing miserably at doing that right now. Do you have any swing thoughts for the audience? We'll get to that later. So look, here's the deal. I'm actually, Billy, I'm trying to go at doing that right now. Do you have any swing thoughts for the audience? We'll get to that later. So look, here's the deal. I'm actually, Billy, I'm trying to go in the other direction. I'd like to sound as out of touch as possible,

despite the fact that Charlie Kravitz is now Old Money Charlie. Yeah, there's a double Charlie situation. That's official, that's happening. There's some confusion because this was Old Money Charlie on the Levitarch show years ago, and people think that that's Charlie Kravitz now that he's in town.

Anyways. He is, he is Kravitz. All white people look alike to me. Okay, so I have and I can't believe that we can go to later today. I also have a list of the USA Today's NFL offseason grades. I have SI's ranking of the 12 teams that could actually win the Super Bowl and I saw that Bill Barnwell put out and Charlie you're friends with Bill Barnwell. Love him. I saw that Bill Barnwell put out a list Charlie, you're friends with Bill Barnwell. Love him. I saw that Bill Barnwell put out a list of, he's ranked the 32 teams based

on running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends. So those are all things that we can get to. Also, Mikey A has a new game of more Mike Lee that you guys might enjoy. So I don't know if you guys want to play that. Maybe some college sprinkled in this time. Okay, and Lorenzo. I like the sound of that. Lorenzo has told me that he has his seventh and eighth B's of the episode, so we'll probably get to that at the end of this episode. We're doing it big this time around. Seven and eight B's. Wow. We're back. God bless football. Beautiful.

Lorenzo, what do you make of Mike Gundy comments? Mike Gundy? He's a man. He's 40. Well, he's probably like 48 now. 56. 56? Yeah, Mike Gundy is 56 now.

Oh, man. What we're seeing, Billy, can you give us the headline on Mike Gundy? Because what I took away from that was basically said that he drives drunk often. Was that off base? Was that off base there? Thousands of times. Okay. So what ended up happening, Mike Gundy's running back was pulled over and got a DUI because

of instead of a.08, he was driving with a.10. When asked about this, Mike Gundy said, and I'm paraphrasing, I looked it up, I put it in a calculator to figure out his weight and how many beers it would take. I think he said it was three to five beers that he must have had. He's like, I've done that thousands of times

and just gotten lucky. And then he went on to try to correct himself later on and he said that he's done things a lot of times, he's done thousands, he's had thousands of mistakes that he's gotten away with and he tried to kind of distance himself from that. Lorenzo, your thoughts? I was joking there for a minute, but no, no, Mike Gundy, you can't have road beers and you can't be drinking and driving, period.

I don't care if you can pass the sobriety test. Like, no, what are we doing here? You were the one talking about being a man, I'm 40, come talk to me. That's not very responsible for a man of 40 or 58 or 18 or 19. Like, no. No, sorry. Well, that's a pretty vanilla take, Lorenzo. I think you can do better than that. I'm not going to advocate for drunk driving here on any podcast because that's a pretty vanilla take Lorenzo. I think you can do better than that. I'm not gonna advocate for drunk driving here on any podcast, because that's not what I believe in. Thank you, thank you Lorenzo for being responsible.

Lorenzo also has his voice modulator, if at any point Lorenzo wants to change his voice, we can go to that. Nope, this is a serious conversation. Well, no, not for this, I wouldn't say it for this, I'm just saying, because for those people who are missing Zobot or ZJ or any of those, Lorenzo can make an appearance. You wanna do my I can't Believe for this episode?

Castle Lens are a follow-up question first. Sure. You're probably our most passionate fan of the group. Passionate, in what way? You have some hot takes about the teams you support, you get a little bit irrational. Gundy's not suspending Ollie Gordon, who's his best player, who had 21 touchdowns on the ground last year.

If you were an Oklahoma State fan, how happy would you be about that? Can you put yourself in the fanatic mode of that? You gotta have some slap on the wrist. Set your morals aside and become an Oklahoma State fan. If you played for, so where'd you go to college, FIU? The few, the proud. So if he played for FIU, how would you feel?

He's the best. Some people think he's the best running back in college football. He could be a Heisman favorite this season. Gotta slap him on the wrist. Gotta give him something. Well, what he said the punishment was gonna be is he's gonna make him carry the ball 51 times in the first game. There you go. That's, yeah. Tough love. Are they opening against like a cupcake or something like that? Yeah. This one feels like the classic like two quarter of suspension against the cupcake. I think it's, you know, get on with our lives. I think it's South Dakota state, but they were undefeated last season. So still not a cup. Not a gimme.

Not a gimme. The Jack rabbits. Do you know that off the top of your head? I did indeed. Are you just flexing on the random college? Mascots that you know we're on Stu gots his show that that's what we do the Jack rabbits and it's our show Stu gots isn't here. Yes Okay. All right. All right. It's Billy show if anything. Nah Me and Mikey and so this is your audition to see if you want to be a regular on this show and Flent is when he can talk. Yeah,, Flint just can't talk today, unfortunately. When he's not playing Helldivers.

Some of the fans may be happy about the Flint is not talking situation, if we're going to be honest, but it's not for me to say. Guys, you want my I can't believe first time in three years we've done an I can't believe. Please. Yes. Yes. Can't believe it's been that long. I can't believe that on Tuesday,

after months and months of saying he wasn't gonna do it, Arch Manning announced that he's going to be an EA college football 25. Can't believe it. What was the size of the bag that they funneled to him? Who got to him, yeah. Yeah, yeah. How much money did it take, do you think?

I think they were paying everybody like $600 or something is what they said. Right but what did Manny get? How much did Arch really get I guess is the question here. Mike Fonda is saying he got $50,000 I don't know if that's a report or that's his opinion. I'm going higher than that. Each player got $600 approximately according to the athletic which I mean they have they have gobs of money. It's EA sports All right, they backed up the Brinks truck for archman I don't know like do you think that this is a thing that he demands a lot of money for is this a thing that Like him and his team are like you don't want to miss this like everybody is part of this

This is gonna be a big thing people that don't even necessarily know you let's say because they're not big actual college football fans, but they're gamers or whatever, will play with your school and they're going to play with you. Like you're going to make it up as being part of this game and you'll miss the boat if you're not in it. Did someone get to him and just be like, dude, you're trying to be too humble? Like you're trying to be like, oh, I don't want to be above the team because I'm a manning. And they're like, no, just be part of this and just be Part of what we're doing. So just stop it Here's the thing that I don't know that you guys are aware of but Mikey was there for this interview So we spoke to Eli I want to say like a year and a half ago and he thank you job, but chamber

Yeah, we got him through jobber chamberlain who's a job was a regular on that's that's a name. I've not heard many years Java was a regular on the show. He'd come on every week He'd make football picks. And he also was friends with Eli Manning. So he got Eli Manning on. We talked to Eli. And Arch, I think had just committed to Texas at the time or was going back and forth, whatever.

And we were talking to him about NIL because NIL had just started. And Eli told us that Arch was not going to be taking any NIL money. I was about to bring this up. to be taking any NIL money. I was about to bring this up. He quietly started taking NIL money. Oh, he definitely did. No.

After he got the good press. No, no, no. That was two years ago. That was two years ago. It was last April when he was at Texas for the spring game. He was like, won't be taking any NIL money. Zero. Well, July signed his first NIL deal.

Now it's remembered he's making more than Brock Purdy from NIL. So here's the thing that happened that you guys might find funny is that like, so Eli at the time, the way that he described the situation with NIL was, you know, we want him to not be worrying about all that stuff. Like, I go out there and prove it and earn his own money

and not just take money because then there's added pressure. He already has a name, he already has that, right? So Eli was saying it as like, this is like a humble thing, he's not gonna take it. And when the clip that he was on there, the clip that went out and like was a minor story or whatever, right? From Eli saying it, backfired because then everybody

was saying like, this is typical white privilege, he's not taking money. Like it was kind of like a crazy backlash and it was actually negative towards him. That was fun. Those comments were fun. Yeah. Wasn't our best week.

Are you guys gonna, you guys are gonna play the game, right? I mean, I've pre-ordered the game. I got absolutely, I haven't played, I keep, I actually been trying to get back into video games for the better part of like a year and A half and I just couldn't do it all the way Although I did buy my old ps2 playing a little tiger o4 that game's a blast

But I'll say this like I think I'm I think I'm coming all the way back for this game Well, so here's the thing the game comes out July 19th, but if you pre-order you can get early access I believe July 16th So next week you can already play this game and it's kind of like the talk of the sports, I guess, gaming world. Everybody's been so excited for years wanting this game. I'm at a phase that I don't have a gaming system that is compatible to this game.

It's not coming up for the Switch, Billy. Yeah. So like, am I going to buy a PS5 or something to play this game? Yeah, you are. No, I'm not. Like that's exactly what you're going to do. No, cause I don't think. Honest question. Dynasty. Honest question. Can it live up to the hype. Like that's exactly what you're gonna do. No, cause I don't. Honest question. Dynasty. Honest question.

Can it live up to the hype? Like it's just been so long and it's been talked about for so long that we're considered Billy, I'm in the same boat as you. If it's not out on the Switch, I can't get it. Yeah. Unless I spend $500 on a new PS,

whatever it's up to. I didn't know Mikey was a Switch boy. Yeah. Am I gonna spend 500 bucks on a game and it'd be worth it? I just you can't replace I mean just the the feelings watching my boys in Carolina blue running out of the tunnel at Kingdom Memorial Stadium with the with the American flag in the front. I mean that alone is going to be worth the price of admission. Like I'm there for that. Now I'll probably play it for like a week and a half and get bored and get on with my life.

But that first week's gonna be pretty electric. I feel like I'm just not, and this is not like, it sounds weird but like I feel like I'm not in a place in my life that I have time to just play college football all the time. That is my concern to an extent because if you remember the old 2014 EA NCAA football, as it was called back then, it was immersive. You had to recruit players, you had to keep them on

the roster, you had to build the program up from scratch. I like doing, as we mentioned, the aforementioned FIU, building them up from meager beginnings as little Caesars bowl champs, make them national champs, but now you've got an IL factor in there, you got a 12 game playoff system that who knows how it's gonna play out in the game. You've got so many other wrinkles to it now that I don't know, I think it's going to consume our lives yet once again. I'm here for it. I don't have the time for it, but I'll figure out some way to do it. I'm excited.

Bring me the mascot games too. I want the mascot game in there. If it doesn't have it, then it's not a NCAA football. As far as Arch Manning, by the way, he's going to get like, if they didn't give him a nice little sweetheart deal to get in, they're going to give him like all the perks, he's gonna get like, if they didn't give him a nice little sweetheart deal to get in, they're gonna give him like all the perks, all the ultimate team cards, like, you are the guy, this is your gold platinum card, that's so rare again. Do a voice modulator.

Yeah. Don't just change your voice. Arch Manning, this is your platinum ultimate team player. No, I don't like this one. I don't like that one. Hold on. What about... Arch Manning. You're the Ultimate Team Player. Nope, that's not it either. What about this one?

Oh yeah, there we go. Arch Manning. Ultimate Team Player. Yes. Also, question for you all. What happens if Arch Manning is not the highly touted talent that he is being touted, like being promoted to be, right? He's a bus?

If he becomes like a, if he becomes a somewhat mediocre college quarterback, a Tim Tebow. Tim Tebow? Tim Tebow was like one of the best quarterbacks in college history. Well, all right, I'm saying, but not, not- Change your voice for these questions I've been

So how about this do a burning burning five questions for like five years six years? He's red shirt in six years. Hold on. So so so wait, wait, wait, wait change your voice and have like those burning Hard questions. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Stays for like five six years of at Texas, just collecting a paycheck, getting NIL money and you know, just sticking around because the pros, he's not gonna do it there. He's not gonna succeed. He's a tentacle, right?

What do we think? I feel like I'm on the intro of like a bad rap song or something like this. We're about to hit it. The beats about to drop and are about to hear some, like, you know, bubbly sound effects in the background. God bless you. So you think he's going to be like a miss like a Bo Nix? Yes.

Yes. What happens? Like, I mean, what happens here is just going to be there. He's going to 12 pick Bo Nix. Yeah. He's going to do. Is he rated higher than the starter at Texas? When yours, yours. No, I don't in the game.

Yeah. Do we know like what the game readers are yet? I think when yours is like the fourth or fifth, fifth highest rated quarterback in the game. You know who the highest rated player quarterback in that game is? Who's that? Carson Beck. Shador Sanders. We got should door Sanders we got a real

we got a real Ronnie James situation going on with the player ratings in this game hmm should your Sanders is the highest s-93 I'm return to the game yeah I want to refund so this article that I'm looking at was written one hour ago but I don't arches arches not on here yet or at least he's not in like the top eight that they have here. So I see Shadour Sanders, Carson Beck, Quinn Ures, Dylan Gabriel, Jalen Milrow, Jackson Dart, Jalen Daniels, and Kaden Salter.

Jackson Dart's an incredible quarterback name. Yeah. He's a throw on darts. Yes. He's got quite the vibe too. I think he does this, he's got like long hair with like a little blonde streak on one side He's got he's got a very It's very strange seeing a Southern California vibe II guy playing for Ole Miss. Mm-hmm

Well, didn't he went to USC first, right? He did he did he transferred out of USC? Yeah, so did you find any Muppet football? Connections that you wanted to get to yet or not really? You gotta expect better me. Well, I mean, you had like three or four days notice that we were gonna do this. I don't know exactly what you have prepared. I've got a list of football players who have appeared alongside the Muppets. Oh, how many do you have? Well, we got a lot of New York Giants. How many do you have?

Paul Banks, Terrell, nope, that didn't answer the question. Mark Ingram, Shailen Dettah, the answer to the question. You didn't answer the question. But we're going to- Mark Ingram, Shailen Dettah- Are we doing a call, John? Hold on. All appeared on Sesame Street. Well, hold on. You got Tiki Barber, who showed up on season 40 of Sesame Street.

Hold on, don't rush through it. Drew Brees, Reggie Bush as a New Orleans Saint. Slow down. Laverneous Poles, also a Sesame Street appearance. Slow down. Terrell Davis, Tony Gonzalez, Ben Graham, Mean Joe Green wasn't on Sesame Street. He was on a thing called Muppet Magazine. I didn't even know that existed. I looked that one up. So was John Matuszak of the Raiders and oh the man genius. The man genius was on Sesame Street. Not a player. Muppet Magazine was a

magazine. Did you read Terrell Davis there near the top? I hear you say Terrell Davis's name. Right. Remember Terrell Davis? He was Terrell Davis was sick. Perot Palomalu did a little feature with Elmo about hair and sock puppets. He built a little sock puppet of his own. Jason Taylor, Hall of Famer Jason Taylor, when he was with the with the Washington football team. Oh that's that sucks. What? Season 39 the Washington football team. Oh, that sucks. What? Season 39 of the Sesame Street. How about that? So you know who was on the cover? Also, the Muppets were co-hosts, sorry,

the Muppets were co-hosts of Monday Night Football, if you remember correctly, a season or two ago? What? The Muppets? The Muppets were on Monday Night Football. Two seasons ago? True Disney synergy. They crammed them down the rest of America's throats. Jon Moffitt Who were the commentators? BD I was thrilled about it. Jon Moffitt What's that? Jon Moffitt Who were the broadcasters?

BD I believe Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy made appearances in the booth. Jon Moffitt I meant adult broadcasters. Human beings. BD I don't remember these things. I know they went down to like field on track Billy with Gonzo. I think Gonzo the great was down there. Fozzy was doing like there's no way Joe Buck was tossing the Fozzy like that just didn't exist. This is pre Joe Buck. This was uh Joe Tess might have done it though. Joe Tess might have sounds like a Joe Tess and now we go live to Beaker and Bunsen honeydew. That's actually not a bad Joe tests That's pretty good. Did you see Joe tests? I sort of football related is now a WWE announcer as well. He's added that to his resume that holy moly coachman

Routley, yeah, it's holy moly still on TV. I don't think so go. I don't know it is a good show That's current. I think it's on Netflix. Is it? Yeah, but those are those are like reruns, right? I don't know. Holy moly actually sent me one of not me but I ended up with it sent the show one of the best like Promotional gifts that they they send so like when shows are coming out or whatever They'll send you like here's like a mug or whatever, like with our logo on it. I actually get all the time, and Lorenzo has become the greatest beneficiary of it,

is I will get almost annually the Simpsons promotional material before their Halloween episode, because I think that that's like their season premiere every year. And what always ends up happening is, I don't think I'm even allowed to say this, but like I will share it with Lorenzo because I know how much the Simpsons mean to him.

And he's in the media, so. I look forward to every October because of the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror. 95% sure I wasn't supposed to say that. It's like Christmas in October because Billy Gill sends me all these wonderful promo gifts. This one was a clip He's a member of the media with heartwarming Simpsons like x-ray on it. Okay, put that and it comes loaded with candy

I don't gonna get in trouble for telling anything. I gave you could be it's mailed.

That's another segment we do send us stuff. It's been a while since send us Muppet stuff. Since the dawn of mankind, we've cooked our food over an open flame and debated the best way to grill. One thing not up for debate, grilling and beer always go together. And not just any beer will do.

Whether you BBQ Texas style or just celebrate Wednesday with burgers and dogs, you need a beer that tastes great and is less filling. And here's a little secret that I'm gonna tell you as a grill master myself. Sometimes you have those burgers, those dogs on the grill, you toss on some seasoning. They're getting hot, they're getting dry. Why don't you quench their thirst also?

Pour a little Miller Lite on them. They'll cool down, they'll be extra delicious. Only adults obviously can consume those burgers. With a Miller Lite in hand, grilling doesn't just taste great, it tastes like Miller time. To get Miller Lite delivered right to your door, visit MillerLite.com slash GBF. Or you can find it pretty much anywhere that sells beer. Celebrate responsibly.

Charlie Hume wants to talk about tape. He wants to talk tape. And a new segment.

A new segment we call Talk Tape. Talk Tape baby. Yeah. Nice. PT. I feel like a recurring thing. Maybe you can come on, you know, next week or a week after,

you can talk some tape with you. When Stugatz is back, we'll ask you to make him some, you know, golf tee times or whatever. He'll get some flavor out of you. And you can watch golf tape too. Swing video. That is true.

A lot of different tape you could, you could talk about. Been grinding a lot of that tape lately. I've got to grind the tape. You watch your own golf tape? Have to. Do you? Have to. Must.

You're a golf guy now, right? I'm terrible. I love it. Really? No, no, no, don't, don't. He's got a great swing. When are we doing our golf? Forsum.

Okay. So talking about for years now. Mike Ye, let me loop you in on this golf foursome that Lorenzo would like to do. Okay. Lorenzo wants all of us to go to him and play golf with him in Buffalo. Great courses, great weather right now.

He also told us about this. That's awesome, I assume he's buying the flights. He's doing none of that. Also, the invite- Mike Ye, you forgot the part where I mentioned I have a non-profit salary these days. That's awesome. I assume he's buying the flights. He's doing none of that. Also, okay I forgot the part where I mentioned I have a nonprofit salary these days. That's not true You you have money Charlie who's down there Miami right now with Billy who can afford it You got a modulator. Excuse me You have a module you have a module money to me that it took about six years for you to figure out

But you have thankfully figured it out or not Thankfully because it was more fun when you couldn't figure out what you're doing But you have multiple sources of income. You're also a wedding DJ if people want to book Lorenzo to To DJ their weddings in the greater Buffalo area reach out to him and from what I hear you're a trivia night Host free agent at the moment. So Interrupt a rampant copyright infringer as well. That's true Boogeyman so on the ones and twos Hey everybody get

on dance floor we're gonna play a solid hit from the 70s so ymca with the village people you gotta say we're throwing it way back um can I can we were setting the clock way back wait hold on this is actually great because so I don't think you know this Mikey used to be in the wedding industry as well Oh, yeah, get out of professional dancer Mm-hmm. I'm not kidding. I don't know why you're laughing. Wait, really? Really put your DJ voice back on so we can we can coordinate here It's a it's it's you so Mikey a you would agree with me being a DJ If you were if you were told that you can't dance at a wedding

That's like that's that torture for you. You're a dancer. Dancers like to dance. I look forward to weddings because I like to get with my missus and we just cut a rug on the dance floor. 24 karat magic comes on, we're there. Valerie, we're there. If the music is not on par, we're not there and it's a horrible wedding. So being a DJ, you're providing the dance groove, but you can't dance yourself. Although, a little bit. The alcohol and the DJ make the wedding. That's right.

The most important vital parts to any wedding. People care too much about the food and the cake. No, no, doesn't matter. Alcohol and DJ make the wedding. You need to find a Mikey for your situation, so. Yes, you do. Because like, Mikey's situation. Mikey, yeah.

So what Mikey would do is he would go with the DJ and I believe you would get the dancing started. So like, you were the crowd, the party starter? I was the guy, yeah. Love it, I love it, the hype man. So what would you do? The hype man. How would you hype up Mikey to then hype up the crowd, Zo?

Well, I have a technique that I would employ because I too was the wedding hype man I believe I got in rave reviews from both Charlie Hume and Billy Gill's weddings Like who's that guy on the dance floor? That guy was he was sweaty as hell, but he ruined on that party Did you make them play Baby Shark at Billy's wedding? Yeah, after the last song. I can't all be the straight hits, you know? After the last song. And then so are we. So they, like, when you're at a-

Also, people love Baby Shark. When you're at a wedding, when you're at a wedding, then you consult with the DJ, like, you want the first dance to be in the landing. I would never play Baby Shark at any of the weddings. What would be like a non, whatever, and then they're like, what do you want the last song to be? Like, that's like a, you know, last song, whatever,

and you give them the last song. So we gave them the last song, the last song played played and then all of a sudden baby shark starts playing and Lorenzo is in the middle of the dance floor that happiest boy i've ever seen in the world he was so excited and your nephew i believe was was thrilled about it yeah there was a child there that was very excited about it i mentioned it it was right during the the nationals run which for the world series absolutely nothing at my wedding. That was their rally song. Yeah, but you lived in Washington,

so it meant something to you, but to no one else at the wedding. You're a baseball fan, you should know this. You should appreciate good rally songs. At my rehearsal dinner in Washington, we had like a banjo artist, whatever you call that. And Lorenzo was out like grabbing people and like, you know, just pulling people from the crowd and dancing with them to the point where I

had numerous, numerous family members asked me if he was like paid entertainment. Like if he was, if he was with there with the banjo person and it was, uh, yeah, he was delightful. I was pleasantly surprised. My, my wife had visiting family from Spain ask me who Lorenzo was at the party. And then my wife, when we were on our honeymoon, we were looking at pictures and videos and said to me,

I feel like we were at Lorenzo's wedding. Whoa, well, first off. Like we just threw Lorenzo a party. I feel like we were at his wedding. First off, I didn't had a very mild, very intimate wedding. So I, yeah, I like going to weddings, man. I like to. Yes, you did have a-

I try not to- He loves love. You had an intimate wedding, but that doesn't mean that you then make my wedding yours, cause you chose to have an intimate wedding. No, I did no such thing. I did no such, I still have, Billy, I still have our photo booth picture

of all four of us up on our refrigerator. You're welcome. I actually happened to love both of your weddings. I thought they our photo booth picture of all four of us up on our refrigerator. You're welcome I actually happen to love both of your weddings. I thought they were very tasteful. Very I've only been married once What well you and Charlie, you know, gotcha. What's both? We're still waiting on on the other the other Pressure a little pressure on old money Charlie over there. Yeah money. Come on. You get the money. You get the cash I told you this off air, but I saw a comment on YouTube that was like, wow, old money Charlie looks like shit now. That was so funny, as they just didn't know

the difference between us. I think you look great, Gravits. Yeah, Mikey, you've failed us, you've gotten way off track. You wanna play more Mikely? Sure. I'll just get right into it. All right, so this is the way guys,

for those of you who are new to the proceedings in the audience and for the Charlies and Lorenzo, this is the way more Mikely works. Mikey will give us a scenario and then we tell him which one of those two options is more Mikely. Somehow I think Lorenzo's gonna answer first and last. Yep. All right, so we're gonna start with you, Charlie Hume then.

Okay. Who are you more likely to draft first in your fantasy draft? A running back or a wide receiver? This is a good question because I feel like it used to be there was there was PPR and non-PPR shout out Alison Turner. But then there's this like this trend that's happened in the last couple years is half PPR thing that's going on. I don't quite know how to feel about it. I feel like- That half point.

I'm usually most inclined to go receiver because mostly as I play under the PPR, but with the half PPR thing and the general scarcity of good running backs, I think I might now lean in the running back direction these days. Dilly? The Duke? I'm going to go with a wide receiver because I've drafted running back first and the last two drafts it's always burned me.

So I'm going to go wide receiver this season. It also depends what pick you have, right? But that's like a whole nother thing. Well this is if you have the first pick. The first pick? Who's who's like is Christian McCaffrey the undisputed? Is he kind of still the guy? Some people are starting to climb on Bijan. With Arthur Smith.

I'll look at an unnamed fantasy rankings for 2024-2025. Christian McCaffrey is top of the list overall. Did you call him Mr. Christian McCaffrey? The next running back is Bijan, Mr. BJ Robinson at seven. There's six, five, no, five other rival series before him. So I'm all about the running backs right off the top. Have you seen the drop off after like the 10th best running back? It's slim pickings. And the more and more teams that go to committee,

you have to go running back. They're hot commodities. That's my method. I don't agree with whatever Charlie Kraut said in the break that I only draft based on bi-weeks. That's absurd. Although you should look for it bi-week because you're gonna have a bad time

if you have too many on the same by week Do you running back it sounds like you do that sometimes I do double running back It also does help when you have a farm system of your wife's players on her fancy First why not both this this is one of the greatest fantasy controversies of all time Dude, I forgot about that. Who's derailing the show here? Oh, me. Shut down to running back for wide receiver first? Why not both? This is one of the greatest fantasy controversies of all time. When Lorenzo and Sarah tried to rig the league, and then subsequently tried to gaslight us into thinking

that we were being mean to them. Oh, yeah. Unbelievable. You all are bullies. It was insane. You were the bully. Hold on a second. Not enjoyable to play fantasy with. Time out. You. Not enjoyable to play fantasy with.

Time out, you were not enjoyable to play fantasy with. Me? Time out for a moment. You bullied Elis, Lorenzo. Time out. The nicest person ever. Time out for Elis, really. Time out for a moment.

Mikey. This is what happened. We had a family. Impartial ruling here. This is what happened. We had a Friends and Spouses fantasy league that was going on. Sure. Awful idea. And we had a Friends and Spouses fantasy league that was going on. It was us, it was our friend Allison, it was her husband, it was all of our wives,

Elis was in there's a there's a couple people in it, right? So what happened was is, like any fantasy league, we're just kind of like talking crap to each other the entire time, and then some people's spouses were taking it more seriously than others. Not to say who was, who wasn't. Some people were taking it more seriously than others, some people were trying, and some people were just existing to gift their spouses all of the best players in the league. And what happened was...

This is awfully rich. This is just lies. There's a waiver. I haven't even... Well, there was a trade proposal. I have yet to say a single thing, so I don't see how you can say there's been any lies. Not a word has been said. What was the trade proposal aspect of it? Allison Turner's husband tried to trade Lorenzo for Justin Fields. Yes. Justin Fields was picked up. This was Justin Fields' first year, and this is like-

The year that he had all the big running games. Yeah. He was breaking off EBRs. Halfway through the year, he was like QB1. Yes, exactly, but the first half of the year, no one rostered him. Sure. Essentially.

So Lorenzo, who was in last place, rostered him. Lorenzo rostered him because he had the first waiver wire pick, but wasn't playing him, if I remember correctly. But what was me that was down there in the bottom? Excuse me. I needed to do something I knew it is my team in the arm with me. You had him benched. You weren't playing him Yeah, cuz I wanted him for trade value. Excuse me. You turned down trade value to give who'd you trade him to? My wife for nothing in exchange. No, not true.

Not true for A.A. Ron and who else was, who else was? He made the trade for nothing. He turned down legitimate trade proposals and this was also done and he subsequently admitted and he will now say that he didn't admit this. He subsequently admitted that the only reason he picked up Justin Fields is because his wife's waiver wire order was too low to actually get Justin Fields so he picked up Justin Fields immediately traded Justin Fields to his wife who couldn't pick up Justin Fields And then I and then denied all of this wrongdoing and it would we and called to yell

Correct call to yell at us for me Call to yell at us on speakerphone without us knowing that his wife was on the phone with him and then made a whole thing out of it. You guys are bullying her. You start making names. It got to the point that our league commissioner was threatening and was so flustered and frustrated with this situation that our league commissioner was a moment away from deactivating the league in the middle of the season. So there's literally two ways to ruin- Which would have been the absolute best ending to this story.

There are two ways to ruin a fantasy football league. Oh. One is to have a league full of zombie owners where no one checks the league, which is fine because we're all friends, doesn't matter, it's just a banter anyway. The other way is to collude and make it not fun. With your wife. But with that said, this is the banter anyway. The other way is to collude and make it not fun. With your wife.

But with that said, this is the greatest content possible. So you colluded, ruined the league, but gave us great content. And follow up. Listen, it was bound to happen. If not me, one of you would have traded with your wife and then would have been like, oh, you guys are colluding. You guys wouldn't have crossed anyone else's line.

No, and what ended up happening is Charlie ended up playing his wife in the championship and they took home the money for first and second place. So it didn't even matter and Ran his wife's team. I did not Guys respect more Mike we've ran her team guys respect more Mike Lee so we're playing more Mike Lee Mike Was also disbanded after the season and we never played in the season. I don't think I like more Mike Lee anymore.

This game is very all right. How about if I bring it back for you for more Michael? OK, he's OK. More likely to sign with an NFL team. Fozzie Bear Animal God. Why are you hearing him? See how I did that? I want to know what's it's got to be animal, right?

Hmm. I mean, animals and animal. See how I did that? You know what? It's gotta be animal, right? I mean, animal's an animal. Explain. I mean, you could line up animal on the edge. He's gonna be tough to be coachable. You know what I mean? That's gonna be the biggest hurdle. He comes with some character issues. Yeah.

You gotta figure that piece out. A lot of penalties. A lot of penalties. Yep. On sportsman-like conducts. I would also think that Fozzie would be not the best to be coachable either. Fozzie seems like someone that's hard to get things

through to Fozzie. He's on the line for me. He's in the trenches. He's gonna block. Fozzie is or Animal is? No, Animal's a pass rushing. He's coming in. Well, this isn't, but hold on.

This isn't a Muppet League. They're playing against NFL players. So Fozzie will be on the line. Obviously. So you think Fozzie will stop someone on the line? Fozzie is a bear. And a puppy. Fozzie is a bear.

A dancing bear. He's literally a dancing bear. Yeah. Is this like the live action version of Muppets? Like is Fozzie an actual bear? There's- Does that change my answer? Nope, nope, nope.

That's not how Muppet rules work. Muppets are always in the real world, people. Not how Muppet rules work. Like have you not seen Muppets Take Manhattan, Muppets, the Muppet movie, Muppets are always in the real world people. Like have you not seen Muppets Take Manhattan? Muppets, the Muppet movie, Muppets Christmas Carol? So that I asked this question. They're just there. They're part of our world people.

Wait, this is a good question. Should there be like a meta like live action version of the Muppets? Absolutely. Even though they exist in the real world. So they'd be like another Muppets movie where they were there like a real life Approximations of what they are as Muppet cartoons. I think I'd watch that. Human puppets? Like a real frog for Kermit. A real pig. So who would you pick? Oh Animal. Okay. Animal. Well you also screamed at Charlie for doing that exact same thing. That's what we do.

I want to make sure he's sure about his answer. I too think, I think both, I mean, Fozzie Bear, good mechanics, very big build. Do we have another more? Do we have another more, Michael? More, Michael. I have one more, Michael. You ready? Yes.

More, Michael, to make the playoff, the college football playoff their first year in the new conference. USC, Oregon, Washington, Texas, or Oklahoma. more likely to make the playoff, the college football playoff their first year in the new conference? USC, Oregon, Washington, Texas or Oklahoma? Let me write these down. USC, Oregon, Oregon, Washington, all of those three went to the big 10. Texas and Oklahoma went to the SEC. Who is more likely to make the college football playoffs out of those? Out of those?

Multiples can make it. Yeah, but who's the most? Who's most, Mike Lee? I like USC's chances. Ah, USC, you gotta go play some big 10 away games when it's cold, get punched in the mouth. I don't know about that. If they do it, they're worth going to the playoffs.

There's 12 teams this year. Kravitz has something. Kravitz has something. Yeah, I wanna hear Kravitz's. I was with I was with uh Charlie Hume there. Soft soft USC pack 12 team going into the big house. No shot. Um candy ass. Okay. With that said, I'm picking Oregon. I love Oregon. I love that pig because they it is cold. It's cold up there in Oregon and they're going to do great. Yeah.

I mean the Big Ten is not going to know it hit them when they see all those points. Yeah. I mean, the Big Ten's not going to know what hit them when they see all those points. Yeah. Plus, they've never seen uniforms that flashy in the Big Ten. Ever. Same thing. Chrome helmets against Ohio State and Michigan. It's going to be mind blowing.

Big noon start, big glare off the helmets. The other team's got no clue. They can't see anything at all. The idea of passing on first or second down. It's going to be mind blowing in the Big Ten. I'm starting to fall in love with Oregon. Yeah. You brought up being a soft team for USC and you brought up the weather, but they also play Oregon. They also play... Lorenzo, did you watch USC play last year? No. USC does not play defense. Or have an offensive line. Other than that, they're great though. Lorenzo, now you say your piece. They got...

Ooh, Oregon-Iowa next year. That's gonna be fun. This argument was just, they got? I don't know. Who do they got? I just beat her out. I have no idea who's on the USC roster. I just like their, I like the V for victory, the Trojans, go Trojans. The guy that comes out and throws the, like the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the speed nobler boy. That's the, that's the sword. Tommy Trojan. The Spears Florida State.

He's getting mixed up with the Florida State guy. Golly, Lorenzo. No, it's Seminole. Yeah, but he does the spear into the field. There's a spear. My college rankings are based on their mascots. I like the big buffalo. Until the season actually ends. And you don't even know the mascots.

He likes the big buffalo. I meant a Trojan with a sword, not a spear. What are your thoughts on Uggah? Yeah, what do you think about Uggah? Ooh, actually, I have an important question for you, Zoe. So you are a fan of Muppets and Puppets. How do you feel about live animal mascots? Love them.

Oh. I love the aspect of danger that comes with them. Sure, others, and as Ron McGill, I'm sure he hates it, but I love the fact that you got a freaking tiger on the sidelines just waiting, just salivating, seeing everybody walking by. There's no tigers. Actually, Mikey the tiger, I think is no longer sideline, but like you got

Bevo a frickin bull just like waiting to just trample people you got a bulldog that thankfully is pretty tame But I mean yeah It's part of the chaos and anarchy of college football that there's live animals Lorenzo Rodriguez if PETA is interested in contacting. No, I, no more lawsuits. But Mike Gundy can't have three beers. Huh, interesting. Very inconsistent from you Lorenzo. Did you expect anything else? For the record Mike the seventh is still around. Yeah, why'd you kill that dog? Yeah, but he's off, he's not on the field. They have him like in a cage off field, right? Does he come on? Yeah, he, do they bring him back on to the field anymore They have him like in a cage off field, right? Does he come out?

Yeah. Do they bring him back on to the field anymore? I thought they stopped doing that. Okay. We can talk about this on our own time. Guys, do we have anything else before we wrap up the episode this week? Lorenzo, you still have your seventh and eighth Bs. Charlie has a serious football question and Charlie Hume wants to talk some tape.

How can tape? Yeah. You want to talk some tape? Let's talk some tape. This is a football podcast after all. So I've just been seeing this on Twitter, all these videos floating around, I guess it's from the Giants being on Hard Knocks

and they have Brian Dable talking shop with all these quarterbacks. I saw one with Jaden Daniels. The one that piqued my interest, of course, is the Tar Heel was the Drake May snippet. That is making a lot of fan bases regret not taking my guy earlier. I don't know how many, I mean, I guess itel was the Drake May snippet. It was making a lot of fan bases regret, not taking my guy earlier. I don't know how many, I mean,

I guess it really was only a handful of teams that had a chance to, but Kravitz, you saw this. These clips are electric, right? I'm a Commander's fan. So I am the target audience. And I had a wave of dread watching that clip in the Jaden Daniels clip. You had Drake May immediately break down audible on the board, no to do against man

coverage. And when it got to Jaden Daniels, he redrew the play and Brian Dable asked him where to go with the ball. And he was like, I'm just gonna throw a touchdown in that play. Dable was like, oh, good answer. But it was really, I don't know where the hell I'm throwing the ball in that play is the answer. Hmm.

Yeah. Drake was done a true disservice by the North Carolina, well, how far do I wanna go score a shirt on this? They really and truly like, Drake may should have won the Heisman and made the college football playoff both years there. And he was let down in a number of different ways. So Drake, we're sorry,

but you're still the greatest quarterback in school history. I have a big bone to pick about the Heisman too. I don't think it's the spirit. I thought Marvin Harrison Jr. should have won it this year, but I don't think it was the spirit of the award that you had Jaden Daniels and Bo Nix, and I can't remember who the other third really, oh, Michael Pennings Jr. as the top three candidates, all of whom shouldn't have still even been in college football. It's not the spirit of the award. It's not the most outstanding sixth year college player. It's wrong. Hmm.

I like that. It's a good take. So? Does Zilslaw has headphones on? I don't know what he's doing. Oh, sorry, I was preparing for the seventh B, sorry. You don't have it done? Well, there's an added component.

Can I ask one follow-up from the table thing? Yeah. There, it hasn't come out yet, but he swears he could run a sub seven second 40. He lost a lot of weight, didn't he? He was also a college safety. Am I wrong to think it's ridiculous that he would run over a seven second 40?

How old is he? If he played safety in college? Yeah, seven seems really slow. He is 49. Has he any significant surgeries on his legs or anything? I don't know who I think would have the answer to that question. Just kind of throwing it out there.

Just Google Brian Dable knee surgeries. Yeah, okay. Thank you. Thank you, Charlie. Yeah, got you covered bud. I think he could go sub seven pretty easily. A 40? I think he might go sub six.

What does Rich Eisen run when he's like in his suit? A six three. Let's see. Maybe six two even. Yeah, I thought it was like a six or a seven, yeah. Yeah. Rich Eisen's 40 time. Oh, okay, it fluctuates.

So I have in 2017 it was six two, in 2018 it was five nine seven, in 2019 it was six flat, in 2020 it was 5.98. And I don't know why. So if he's running five nines, Dable has to be around there. I think he's selling himself short.

Sub six could be the goal. Last season, I guess, Eisen's getting slower with age. In 2023, he ran a six two. Yeah, Dable is gonna be quicker than that. I wanna see Dable run it in the like official combine uniform. All right. So it's your time to shine buddy.

Seventh B and eighth B. Wow, boys, it wouldn't be a B, B, B, B, B, B, B, foray here or outing if we didn't have seventh B. Hold on a second, before you go any further, Mikey, how do you think this went today we have one minute left mmm well I mean I thought it was pretty good I thought we went off the rails a little bit little bit I probably should have stayed away from that muppet question it's okay seconds like here we go sorry 50 seconds this is not enough to honor the second we'll

take it pretty good seventh and eighth beventh B is it's the bear and no I'm not talking about hit Hulu shows I'm talking about a very special bear. Anybody? Bozzie bear? Chris Felica? Not Folly? Golden bear? Nope. Great bears though but you have 50 seconds. Remember only you can prevent forest fires. Smokey the Bear? Smokey the Bear is 80 years old this year. Wow. It started in 1944 as a public service mascot. Some don't know the history of Smokey the Bear, but in 1944, what were we in? World War II, and there was an unfortunate fire

that started as a result of 9,000 hydrogen balloons that were sent over from Japan and started a fire. Unfortunately, there were some casualties, but a big, big preoccupation in the United States about fire prevention. And who do we bring in? None other than Bambi. Bambi was first the face. Bambi the 8th B? That's another B. There you go.

OK, so we have a 9th B. Bambi's got two B's in B. You can just take care of both. Bambi was the first mascot assigned. This is unbearable. People about to tell people about stopping their forest fires and just fire prevention safety until the Disney contract expired. And then in came the creation of Smokey the Bear. There was a fire in New Mexico in the 1950s and the lone survivor was a still tiny cub who became Smokey the Bear. There was a Smokey Bear that went around Wait, my tea off question after that is as far as pitchmen and pitch animals is smokies on the Mount Rushmore for sure.

No, well, not even close. No way. All right. All right. Give me. No, I mean, flow from progressive is definitely on there. Smokey is a top four mascot of all time. Yes.

Not a choice. You know, he's saying he's saying pitch persons or animals. Pitch things. Pitch beings. Pitch beings. Tony the Tiger. Tony the Tiger is like your A-1. Mickey Mouse.

Mickey Mouse, Tony the Tiger, Toucan Sam. What is Mickey Mouse pitching? Disney. That's an awful... Nah. You have a podcast. Bibbidi Bobbidi Buzz. Mickey doesn't need to pitch them.

Sue him. Sue him. Where's the beef lady? Sue Zoe. It's a good't sue him to pitch the sue is the beef lady. Oh, Sue's a good one Mikey a Where's the beef? Hmm flow the Ronald McDonald the bear. Yeah, Ronald McDonald. Yeah Mr. Clean there are these people are on Mr. Clean. Yeah, I mean guy. Mr. Clean is a is a what about the Michelin tires guy? Yeah, great. I'm bounty guys a great one What about the Michelin tires guy? That's a great one. The Boudy guy is a great one.

The Budweiser frogs. Budweiser. Yeah, so not even close to accurate. I'm not sure Smokey is top 20. Not even close to top 20. Can I ask you, what is Smokey's product? He's alerting you

to the dangers of fire. The prevention of forest fires. Awareness. That's not a product. He's selling you awareness. Yeah, safety. He's more of a cautionary tale. A green environment, healthy and free of wildfires.

Is Smokey and Mount Rushmore of bear mascots? No. Yes. I don't think so. Let's get into that one. Top bear mascots. What other bears are there what about the cold in the golden bear golden grab their hair and bear and seen bears a lot of people

misspell Berenstein bears yeah don't know don't do that no don't get on that don't get him started on that one yeah who gummy bears no me bears but who's the pitch who's the pitch bearer for that gummy care bears who care bears? Yeah, that's true Mm-hmm a lot of areas anyways, what's your eighth? What's your eighth be? This is well, this one's not as Not as fun as Joey hugles the bear Ronnie James.
