You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Dunlabel Tarshow with the Stugat's Podcast. We just had a knockdown dragout argument early in the show about running backs and running back value. And so it's a real honor to bring on the person who killed the running back. Meena Himes. Meena, you clearly are as responsible as anybody for the way that this conversation in actual front offices has evolved, aren't you?

I think if we're playing Clue, I'm the accessory to the murder. I feel like there are a lot of running back value killers who cleared the way for me to make that argument. It's funny because I've spoken about this a bit on my show, Meant and Cops Show featuring Lenny and other platforms. And I'm getting both the, you're responsible, you nerds, you did this, all these GMs are listening to you, you have so much power.

And then I'm also getting accusations that I'm a bleeding heart, live for arguing that, it's a bad thing. So it's just kind of funny to occupy both musicians at the same time, which I think is actually where everybody should be is, it will not should be, but I guess what I believe is you can't make a logical football case that teams are wrong to do this, but you can also make a really strong economic case that there's some moral issues with it because of the way

football players get paid. So the moral stuff, I mean, I want to dive into this. It's been a while since Mina has joined the show though, right? Stugas, since last time you saw Mina. I saw Mina at the Super Bowl, but I think she's been on the show since, or has been on one of my shows since. Maybe. I just see you at the Super Bowl briefly. You were taking a cigarette break. I was. Yeah. That's what I tend to do when I'm not speaking. I smoke. So you got knocked up, huh? Greg, Pablo. Still, Greg comes.

As I do it. If I had to choose one of your names, yes, dude's not bad. Thank you. I'm gonna leave it alone. Thank you. That's what I was thinking. I don't know how you tell a baby though,

how you break the news that the namesake is, you know, some point he's gonna find that. I can't do it. It was so mean. It's tough to tell your son that he was named after a cigarette addiction. Yeah. I think Stuart is kind of back though, because we looked at those books that show you the most.

Oh yeah, what are your trends? I did this too. Three years ago, when violent was born, what math, what analysis, what analytics have you applied to your search? Well, I think, and a lot of baby possessors in the container, baby dads, I don't know. A lot of fathers of daughters. Because, you're gonna be such a great mom.

We have a job. So I think you guys have all looked at these too, probably, and you're a round, small children children and you can attest to this It seems like the trend now is to go to like kind of old tiny names, but not too weird like like Greg I don't know a Greg Greg or Greg are we gonna be all right? I was thinking more like Stuart or you know Arthur or, you know, Arthur is the only popular. Jettadon. Likes is like bumping these days.

Emma is a big one for women still. Emma, yeah, her true. Adelaide, stuff like that. Not like Jess. Like when we were kids, every kid was Jess and Mike. That is, you are persona non-grat on the playground if you're Jess or Mike. Yep. You're being called by your last name if you're a Jess or Mike. Yeah. Yeah. Which for Mike is the first name. So can we give? Yes. For me, it's a winner. I mean,

imagine that's imagine that last name. Well, the tough lot to draw is a kid. Thank you. Yeah. Can we give mean as some unsolicited advice? We are, as Chris said, a room full of people who have a child. And so let's go around the room. Can we get some a little bit of sound, some triumphant advice, proclamation, horns? We offer some stuff. Do you mean the fanfare that we always offer? Yeah, we got that. That's great.

My piece of advice, if I can start, Mina. I like to fully agree with you. So glad because I definitely asked for it. Yep, yep, yep. Here's what I've learned as the father of a dog. How has some man explained to you, the parent? Here's the thing about having a child. I can't wait. Here's the thing about having a child.

Okay. It's totally cool to be a basic bitch. Let me explain. You're gonna be a cliche. You're gonna post photos. You're gonna be handed eventually a little drawing made by a child that you would have laughed at to smist a year ago, two years ago,

but now in your basic but very real and your logical activation, you're gonna tear up and you're gonna want to take a photo of that. You're gonna show your friends that little drawing, that photograph, it's okay to be a basic bitch. You don't have to be the cool version of a parent. Get an iPad as fast as you can. Get an iPad in that kid's hands as fast as humanly possible. You're going to stop caring. You're going to stop caring what other people think real quick.

The second you go out to dinner. Every parent at the beginning, like, I won't be the one that gives them a tablet. I'm better. Give them the tablet as soon as possible. Blippi, two on that. Three in time starts now. I just had that conversation with my husband because I was out at dinner with some friends and they chalked her. I fell through. They brought their kid. I mentioned that the kid was, I'm not blowing the kid's name. Maybe he's a Lister. He was his list. He was three. He was very Ramuxus and they put like a fire

tablet in front of him and it was like honestly like cranking him. Yes. And I mentioned that my husband and my husband, who is spot I am blowing up was like, but we won't do that. I'm like, yes, we will. Nick, you're gonna do that. You are 100 million percent doing that. And it's going to be your idea. I guarantee you. You can't wait. You can't wait. Hopefully by then there's like better iPads. I would get three TVs, three TVs in the living room. And that's just a marriage thing.

That doesn't even account for the child, really. It'll just make everything easier. All the times that you were like, oh, this is an interesting point that Tony Romo made. Throw that out the window. You're never going to that Tony Romo made. Throw that out the window. You're never going to hear Tony Romo's voice again for another five years. You're not going to hear any of those voices. It cuts through. Sports exists now only for you on mute.

I have a take. I'm going to push back. I think of every sports announcer, Tony Romo, is probably the one that young children like the best because he makes like child like noises. So basic, so basic. I'm gonna go with Bill Raftry on that one. However, you are aided by being on the West Coast. The kiss. Yes. Pacific time sports is a gift for sure. I'll say take that. I'll say take full advantage of your husband because at the carry in this human being inside of you for nine months, the effort of putting them to work, mean, uh, putting

the work. He's just talking about sex. That's all you're talking about. All the rest of you. I'm not trying to have another. I mean, I'd like to go the other way. Enjoy every single moment of this, the good times, the bad times, because before you know it, okay, you'll be on cool to them. You they'll be 18. They'll be going off to college and you'll be in embarrassment to them. And I'm telling you right now, enjoy every, I don't give you change it a diaper. I don't care if you haven't slept in five days. Enjoy every moment because you know what? You'll miss it when they're gone. I also want to second that. Enjoy every moment while your all pair is handling all of that for you.

Yes, you can video. You can pretend to handle yours. The generational divide really manifested itself there because y'all are in the thick of it, right? Like the ship container, you guys are, you're in the mud right now. Stu is out. Yes. So he's able to look fondly back on those days because they're so far in the rear view mirror.

I have a question. If you guys were to power rank the parents on the show today, who would emerge as number one? I don't like this game. I don't like this game because I don't like this one. I don't know how I like this game. I just try to be confident in raising both arms. I mean, I'm a veteran. Dipper's were made a cloth.

I think it's me and Greg won, too, when I the order, by the way. I refused to I'm a veteran. Divers were made a cloth. I think it's me and Greg want to and either order by the way, right? I refused to go from there. I refused to believe you're the best parent in this room. I meant, I won't say that. There's only one child, so maybe he can have a parent in this room. So pivoting to the Tennessee Titans, I hear Malik Willis is having an incredible camp. Ryan Tannenhill trying to keep his job. He's got two young quarterbacks coming for Malik Malik Willis didn't look like he'd have a career in the pros after that rookie year, very, very difficult rookie season. And he throw, but reports that early out of training camp are good.

And then he's better than Lovis. What make you of the situation? I don't think it matters because the one, one takeaway from the Deandre Hopkins signing is that the Tennessee Titans want to win now, which is always kind of a fun existential debate to have as a sports fan, is if you're if you don't think your team can win the Super Bowl, and I don't think there's any Titan fans, sorry, out there who are looking at their team as Super Bowl contentors and they have seen this year, do you want them to try to win now?

I think is one of the central questions of sports fandom. Well, they do. They answered that. That's, I like it when teams make personal moves that kind of tell you how they think about themselves and in signing them because when the Titans drafted, well, love is it was also kind of weird because it wasn't the first round. So it wasn't like, oh, we want this guy to start now. There's a lot of questions. How good do they think they are? They got a bad offensive line, but they've got a good defense. Yeah, yeah, yeah, going out and signing DeAndre to me suggests that Mike Raible, who seems allergic to the idea of tanking to begin with, views his team as competitive. And I get it.

It's not a good division, even with the Jags. He is an incredibly good coach. And I think the defense is pretty underrated. You're saying the guy who offered to cut off his penis to make a super bowl is not in favor of taking a year off to re to rebuilt uh... i i feel like that we don't talk about that what about the i like realist part of the the conversation yeah i thought i thought you look good in liberty i thought you actually could throw the ball occasionally. And then the NFL, he didn't look like he could do that at all.

I was higher. I mean, I was disappointed by what I saw last year because I did view him as happy. I thought he was very raw, but very toolsy. I also thought it was a pretty crappy situation that he was thrust into. And when I watched the offense, it didn't really look completely tailored to his skillset, frankly, you know, by all accounts internally, he wasn't viewed as that. Well, I mean, you don't need to say by all accounts, they play Josh Dobbs with zero practice, which kind of told you everything you needed to know at the end of last season. But he was always a player who was going to take several years to marinate and become something. So I'm glad that, you know, there is positive buzz because it means that he's not being just cast aside after one bad season.

I mean, we have 40 seconds left. What's a reasonable expectation for the New York Jets? Reasonable expectation. Absolutely. A wild card team. I don't have them winning the division personally, but they're a high ceiling team because of how good the defense is. The defense is freaking awesome. I'm really like the beginning of schedules just so brutal. I don't know if you've looked at it lately

stew. No, I have. Yeah, they're one and five. How waste. Yeah. And so I think that it's going to be a matter of whether or not the defense can kind of carry them through that. And then how long it takes for the offense to gel and also whether, you know, whoever's playing tackles survives. We're keeping me in a back for another segment because I have to tell her when poop starts smelling.

Oh, boy. It doesn't smell at the beginning. No. What? Find out next Don Lebertard. Were you guys building out the a rod bathroom of your imaginations? Is that what I heard you discussing during the break towels with an A on them? You know the thing you slide the toilet paper on that's a baseball bat. Hey, like that. Still gots. You think

he actually calls it the throne? It's an actual throne, an actual throne. There's got to be a full length mirror in there somewhere I imagine somewhere in his house he has a replica of David but with his head on it this is the down libertar show with this to God I mean, I just started buttering myself. I don't know about you talk about this. And now, of course, we're talking about this. I have, okay, so I'm pretty, maybe, overconfident. I'm not overconfident, but I'm not the kind of person who agonizes what if this is, you know, all the things that can go wrong with a baby.

But there is one thing that really concerns me that I only found out about about a month ago, which is that baby boys pee vertically at first. Like you could just be bent over it and it'll pee in your face. I didn't know that. Oh God, someone's gonna clip it. Girls can do it too.

My daughter's pee'd and poop on me when she was really young. Yeah, I mean, it's,'s it sprays everywhere. I'm sorry Physically, how is that possible telling you just sprays? I'm tired. I was peed on were you holding her upside down like oh Just laying on a table. How nobody wants to tell me about this and I understand I'm sure Chris is plunging in the parent power rankings that we're assembling Chris is plunging in the parent power rankings that we're assembling Nice to meet you I don't have a kid. I'm very overwhelmed right now Yeah, but you I'm sure you've never peed vertically so I feel like he can play in on this topic was okay. She went to Iowa

Greg your granddaughter ever do that to you. I mean, no, he's never changed the diaper. Well, I think I changed one diaper And it was an unsuccessful proposition and and I didn't do it for you I was advocating for himself as the best fan of all time But I've never had a daughter So you know my first granddaughter being a granddaughter wait So, you know, my first granddaughter being a granddaughter, wait, oh wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You said that you were one and done on diaper changing, literally, you were done after one.

I'm like, a granddaughter, yeah, not with sons. Oh, okay, sorry. Back in the day, way back in the day, but yeah, my granddaughter, you know, it's, you know, I don't know, I never changed the diaper before with that. Okay, the codys or not qualifying for the top five. Bivinin quickly to the Chicago Bears.

Start to look better. What can we expect at a detail more in that offense? I really like DJ Moore. I really liked that trade for that reason. I think he's probably a top 15, 20 receiver in the NFL. True X can win outside big body, downfield threat, exactly what they've been missing. The question is now that you finally given Justin Fields that group of skill players that I think is at very minimum above average.

Can he deliver him at the ball time? Can he speed up his processing a little bit? Because DJ Moore will get open and he will come down with the football. So poop starts smelling. When would you say like months in, right? It starts off odorless. You have a kid and you're shocked at how not bad the smell is. It also depends if you're on if you have a formula, baby. Formula babies do tend to have a smellier poop. Yeah, I've took my hand to terms of our approach. Why doesn't it smell at the beginning? Because if I had a baby who's pooped and smelled, the number one thing I'd be Googling is why doesn't this smell?

Because it's such a clean diet. Then I have years of Miller lights in the intestines and Chinese food and low-refraggy eats to the arms. Yeah, like this is a pristine, It's like that new car smell after you. So when adults eat clean, does their poop not smell? I mean, it will have they eaten clean air. There are some vegans that I welcome their farts. Yeah.

When a palatro, those farts smell delicious. Mm-hmm. Half two. Whoa. Half two. Whoa. She drinks way too much bone broth for that to smell good. No way.

Just saying, this is a thing on the internet that men talk about that babies and test old tracks hasn't been poisoned by the fourth meal. Hearts don't smell bad. I am sadly speaking from personal experience, if the thing's that every sentence sometimes about me, which honestly, as far as like horrible, creepy compliments go, I'll take. What can we expect at the chargers this year? Good.

New-ass, Jim. Yes. A word, Nader. A surprising situation. It's time for them to win a few playoff games. Perhaps get to a super well. They're talented. Yeah.

I think the time has come. Are we putting head coach on the hot seat? What are we doing here? He's a hundred percent on the hot seat. A lot of people thought after last season, I would say if I was putting together my hot seat power ranking, he'd probably be near the top. That man genuinely cost me $80,000 and I will never forgive him. Here's the thing about the chargers. Justin Herbert is like quietly the most divisive quarterback in football.

Yeah, what's that mean? So, Mina, this is- I have a lot of theories about this. I someone who consumes a lot of his football news through my favorite football nerds. I need to be caught up as to where you guys are on him now. Where are you? We all really are pretty high on him. But I think he's divisive for a few reasons.

One, he doesn't have a Stan army behind him because he plays for the chargers, right? So, and then the quarterbacks that he's comped to, whether it's Tuberto, Joe Burrow, you know, the guy's his age, they all have very like strong internet armies standing behind them ready to argue that four power ranking versus a five is the greatest difference to humanity. So there's that. And I think there's, he has this quality

that incites debate, which is a lot of evaluations of him come with what two detractors appear to be excuses, what two supporters appear to be context? So a big problem last year for the Charters was that he didn't push the ball down field. Honestly, this has been a thing at various points in his career. So his supporters might say, well, his offensive line was horrible. He was playing with, you know, like broken ribs and a torn labor and Joe Lambert either play collar didn't ask him to push the ball down field. The detractors will say, why do you keep making excuses for this guy?

Why is everybody like, you know, all these film nerds like on his size and he maybe he's too conservative? What I like about this season is drafts are really fast, wide receiver. The offensive lines should be healthy and they got, I think, a better play collar in killing more. So Mike, Tantz, your question will know now. Like, you're changing the context, you're putting him in better circumstances, not too dissimilar from Justin Fields

who we're just talking about. So the excuse is, unless all that shit goes wrong again, it is the chargers, suddenly get taken away and we can evaluate him more neutrally. Meena, standing on the shoulders of giants like the Jags and the Lions of last year, who's the team this year that's gonna be sneaky good that everybody's gonna say,

oh, this team's not that good and you need the metrics everybody's gonna say, oh, this team's not that good. And you know, the metrics are going to be like, no, this team is actually really good. This is probably going to age terribly. I feel like the commanders. Oh, the commander. Didn't you like them last year, though? I mean, no. I so the defense was really good last year.

And I just did an NFC preview pod. And one of my big takeaways from watching week 18 was, Sam, how it looked pretty good. Very small thing, I apologize. Obviously, it was a fifth round draft pick. But if he can just be average in that offense because the defense is so good, I wouldn't be surprised if they win

a surprising amount of games. You buying the Lions? Yeah, largely because they're in the NFC North. If they were in the AFC, I think I would probably look at them a little bit differently. But I like the stuff they didn't free agency in terms of bolstering their secondary. Bringing Ben Johnson, their offensive coordinator back

was like one of the biggest coups of the entire offseason. And the thing about Jared Gough is, you know, sometimes I get, I'm pretty hard on him. Like I think he's a quarterback to me who's really like pressure dependent, but they have one of the best offensive lines in football and they're really deep. So I don't think he's going to be in bad circumstances this year. Meena, one of your main critiques of, I guess football in general is that there is no hive for Justin Herbert. As we contemplate what Justin Herbert can do to deserve simps, I do want you to tell this studio what you think of the Miami dolphins whose hive is extraordinarily toxic.

There are toxic elements. There are normal and positive elements. I never try to paint for the entire fan base. She is so afraid of the dolphins fanbase. You're afraid of them. I want to be clear. What am I about to say is not coming from a place of fear. I have not let the terrorists win. So to speak, not calling dolphins as terrorists. I think this is one of the three to five best rosters in the entire NFL. I've talked about this a lot.

Just talked about him. This team is so stacked. Everything that you do on a defense, I could talk about for hours, the personnel additions. I'm seeing a hiring with Fick Fanjio. It's defense that I thought was already pretty good at the end of last season, but it was in a very overly aggressive scheme that's going to change.

I think they are a top five unit just based on paper, the off season. My question for the dolphins, I think, is whether the offense, we're going to see this week, one of the charges, which is just the most toxic, ratchet possible. Perfect. What kind of changeups have come up with because this was like an unstoppable killing machine. The first half of the season then some great got thrown into the gears. So I'm curious to see what McDaniel's come up with this off season. Did you just say Dolva's our top five unit? Chris Cody has been punching.

I believe it. They're so good. They're so good. The roster is so and it's not just like the big names. It's guys like you can just point to if so many good players at every position group, not just the stars, but like guys like Zach Sealer, Dave Long Jr. The linebacker, they picked up. We do not hollan is a star, but he's not talked about like a star. I think he's going to be seen as a star after a year with a fan geo just so many. Obviously. Very fast defense. We're chatting with me to come. So some

meantime show featuring Lenny switching gears back to babies. Do you have a registry? Have you already procured a diaper genie? You're going to need that. Oh, yeah. God, I get a diaper genie. I have one of those on my registry. I'm going to confess. I don't know what it does. Can TFTI? Can you send me that registry link so I can feel like I'm a part of the upbringing? You can throw poop diapers in there and it keeps the smell. It's just a trash can. Yep.

It's a trash can that keeps the smell in there for a day or two, so you don't have to empty it. You're trash every minute. But there is no smell. That's right. Good boy. That's the genie part. Interesting.

Interesting. Just throw up anywhere. I don't know how to change one yet. So should the Titans be allowed to have Euler throwbacks? It just kind of feels insult. You know, we had this debate yesterday. I say yes, Mike says no. They should be allowed to do that, right? You know, I didn't think it was insulting, but then when they signed the under Hopkins and they showed him in the throwback, I was like, oh, he was didn't do like that felt like a little bit of a jab to me. But it's funny. It's how season, however, throwback has been like universally loved. And then the colds came out with Indiana. With Duke. Like, I mean, well, remember when they moved to Tennessee, they wore to Tennessee Oilers at one year, one or two years. Yeah. So that answers

his question. Also, remember, I like them. Also remember that Gwen of the Palatro once did a wellness trend that was actually called a reverse fart. What? She had to do that. I can do that. I'm like a turtle. I can breathe through there.

Woo-woo-woo. Is it like circular breathing? Like when you play the sax, like how Kenny G never has to stop playing the saxophone because you just select it in while he's blowing it out? Congratulations. I had to listen. You could do that for like hours and he played an instrument called the, he is a Seattle so to give you a visit.

Oh wait, is this, you have a lot of cousins who are just clearly like giant stoners. Yeah. What I'm saying is if you submerge me in the lawn. He's not going to be the stoner allegations when I finish this sentence. And my rear is the only thing that breaches. I can live. He played the didgeridoo and was in a band called the didgeridoo. Anyways. Thank you, Mina.

Hi guys, Miss you. Miss you. Love you. Don Lebertard. I don't want to be too extreme on this, but he failed America. Stugats. Okay, very good. VCC dan lebertar show with this Tugats.

[♪ OUTRO MUSIC PLAYING [♪ We haven't talked about that much soccer outside of the prison of Enbapé and casually referencing that it's messy day again. I do want to talk about women's world cup. Yes. Philippines. A Philippines I would love to give you an opportunity. Actually, you should have flexed on, on Mina.

I know, oh god, I forgot. This is South Korea, look so bad. First goal in Philippines history. First World Cup win in the history of the Philippines. Not trying to take the shine. Korea big L. I'm not trying to take the shine. Not you not from the Philippines.

No, because this is how you build a program when the United States re-engage their program, try to get serious, hired Yerkin Klinsman, he made a lot of overtures to Germany. And the United States is smart to reach out to anybody. If you look at the current roster, there's plenty of people that don't live in the United States, don't speak with an American accent. And yet they're playing for the US national team. But I read an article that the Filipinas are laden with US town.

Yes. No, there is a great story on Yahoo.com, what an old person. Second only to holding up a yellow newspaper clipping is me citing a story to Yahoo.com. When did that become old? Yahoo dot com. How long ago? As soon as my parents started sending me links from it all of the time, I still make a conscious effort to like those search once a month to see if the site's so worse.

It's checking it on Geo City sometimes. Just to make sure it's angel fire. Oh yeah. Alta Vista, I've asked Jeaves and web crawler. They shut down Yahoo Answers. But one of the answers I got by going to Yahoo Sports was the question of how is this team suddenly different I've asked you, Steve's and web crawler. They shut down Yahoo Answers. One of the answers I got by going to Yahoo Sports was the question of how is this team

suddenly different and good in the Philippines? And the answer goes back to a message board wide search basically. These guys, these Filipino Americans decided to find every, and this is just a classic exercise that I cannot support more. Every plausible American with trace amounts of Filipino blood. And this is just a classic exercise that I cannot support more. Every plausible American with trace amounts of Filipino blood.

And they assembled literally a roster of dozens of new faces. And they're only a small handful of native Filipinas on the team. But everyone else, it's from this new pool of Filipino Americans who are not good enough certainly to make the USMN's national team, Mike. But what they are good enough is to make goddamn history for their ancestral homeland. That is a really impressive result. New Zealand's one of the co-hosts of this tournament. I know in my bracket, I have New Zealand going pretty far into the knockout round, riding on the winds of actually hosting this competition. So to

see that result was shocking to me. And this could be a real good Cinderella story. But the whole process of like, how do we make our team better? It's what the U.S. men's national team has also done. Okay. It's how you microwave and. Yes. Yes. Yes. Well, take the people that aren't good enough to play here and put them on your team. Right. Because United States, thanks to things like Title IX and all the success of the teams that came before that kicked open the door, they have this really powerful soccer program in

the women's game. And not everybody is at the level to crack that national team despite all the injuries. And so people who want the experience of playing in World Cup, the United States men's national team has benefited from this plenty, where there's been plenty of Germans not good enough to play for the German national team. So they come here so they can experience one of the most prestigious competitions there is and to get regular playing time to also help their professional club career too, because this is all about getting better.

This is a tale as old as time as soon as FIFA opened up this portal to change your allegiance and go back further into your lineage. How was that Philippines genealogy search done? Like, great question, Greg. And this is my favorite part of the story. Thank you for reminding me of it. It was literally a couple of Filipino guys looking at rosters being like,

I think that person's Filipino. Just based on the name? Yes, based on name, based on photos, based on tips they got. It's totally unscientific. Because of course there's no database of who has trace amounts of Filipino in them. But what every Filipino has, of course, is a radar.

They will indicate, oh wait a minute, Dave Batista, Filipino. Wow. I wear the closest thing to that database, by the way. They actually use the eye test. They use the gift that every Filipino has, the eye test, the radar to say, Olivia Rodrigo, Filipino. Yeah, Eric Spolstra. Fact, Filipino.

Good for you. Thank you. Absolutely, Eric Spolstra. You look happy and healthy. Bruno Mars. Guys, I'm, I am riding a title wave of people who are being racially profiled for good. Guys, congratulations to you. Thank you. I've got some bad news. What's that? It looks like Stu God's got buck cracked on the quarterback three. Oh, no. Well, no. Yeah, I just saw it here. Somebody sent it to me.

It is weird that only Stu got's had that. It was. I think we should have looked twice at when Stu got's kept on saying he has breaking news. Yeah, basically first time I've been buck cracked. Yeah, I saw it and I was like, Oh, no, it's from dimes J with two Ys. That works for the source. Yeah. Have we know he's wrong? Really? Hmm. I don't wonder Danny Dimes made it. Came from Dimes J. Well, thanks for bailing me out.

I guess door opens up for Baker Mayfield season two. Let's go. And Joe burrow and still just showing. I was not excited about Daniel Jones. I have to be honest. Well, you have to worry about it now. Well, that's actually relieved. I believe we got butt cracked.

I had like one event. I had one job and that was to not believe a stochastic butt crack sports meme. This is the dystopian future that Elon Musk has provided us because you can just pay for a blue check. Well, he does that the way that he checks. Oh, wow. Yeah, the guy didn't have a blue check.

It was just a blue check. Yeah, actually, but no way that he checks. Oh, wow. Yeah, the guy didn't have a blue check. Yeah. Yeah. Actually, but no one does. Well, that's no, it's a Mike. No one does. So, which leads us? It's like, gosh darn mess. To a question I've had.

I can't read your tweets, Mike. Well, this is my question. He does the, he does a dead thing goes to threads. This is my question. How Mike Ryan, how's, how's threads going? It's sad. Yeah, it's bad. Oh my God.

I mean, we got off to such a hot start. Yeah, we're on an Elon and then it's just about a bunch of meme accounts that I follow on IG that I really care what they have to say. So there are things that need to be done for threads. I'm thinking Reels Pay was a way to get people in IG. Reels, let's way to get people in IG Reels. Let's uh, let's have some uh, reimbursement programs here for the people that are using it. Also,

just make a Twitter. Hell, not even Twitter's gonna be Twitter anymore. Just own it. They have to, they, they filed the name X and Microsoft actually owns the trademark for X. Apparently. Here's what I'm thinking. Trade. Oh. Yeah. Go on. Yeah. Threads just his Twitter.

And Elon can use X. X because he's been wanting to use X for a long time anyways. So give him X. Take Twitter. Make Threads Twitter. Because, come on, it's basically Twitter. This is not as good. The sad part about Threads for Mike is that Mike has a true poster's heart.

Mike lives to post. And he's surrounded by these people who are Instagram folks. I mean, they're not, being an Instagram person is different from being a Twitter person. A Twitter person is a sicko. If you click follow all, that was the mistake. Clicking follow all for your, like, now I'm following everyone on threads. I mean, it's so exciting.

Oh, I don't have to build up from zero here, but then you realize some IG pages aren't meant for Twitter like application, but I'm trying to build a brand on threads. Get in on the ground. You're trying to teach. The way that's two gods and Greg are in the accounts. Thank you.

Yep. Well, it's the only non-paywall social media that I have now because I have suffer free on IG, but I have a subscription model over there at Michael Ryan Ruiz and for less than a cup of coffee. Most people go with the $4.99 price point on IG. I'm going to $2.99. Flowburn. www.pablo.show.

It's free. Are you doing anything? Yep. For us. Definitely. When. You'll see. He you doing anything? Yep, for us, definitely. When you'll see he's on threads, guys. I have a new update for quarterback season two from a blue check mark.

They have approached Justin Fields. And Trees. I don't trust that. I'm not trusting him. No, I'm in the down. I don't trust this either. Well, I mean, it's a blue check mark. Can we settle to the debate, Tony, and I have been having?

What's more interesting for quarterback? He's citing Dove Climmon. Oh, what a ridiculous name, by the way. I just saw. It's a great Twitter follow. It's a nice follow, but did you see what I saw Lucy? I see that guy tweet all the time. I have no idea whether he's real or not.

He's cut out a great lane for himself, but also we have just totally agreed that Dove is a normal name. Dove? It's not. There are various headlines wondering Totally agreed that Dove is a normal name. Dove? It's not. There are various headlines wondering if Dove Climmon is, quote, a real person. That mother is not real.

It's like when we found out Big Game Boomer was a person. Yeah. Big Game Boomer, I thought, was who that person on the airplane was referring to. And that Big Game Boomer, think either of Big Game Boomer. Yes, I know. What is Big Game Boomer? is this thing that if you're a college football fan will piss you off because they put together all these charts that get aggregated that are rooted in zero actual data. It's just one person's opinion.

And though it's a chart. Yeah, it's a chart and it's like worst tailgates in America. My aiming number one and you're like, how did we come to this conclusion? How does it matter? It gets aggregated and shared, and it's in the mentions. What do you think about this, Mike? We're all big game boomers as you've got a bad tailgate. Oh, clearly, once all the tailgates in America, big game boomer.

And it's very frustrating, although I'm a fan mostly of what big game boomer does, it's a dangerous name to say quickly, by the way. Big game Boomer, big game Boomer. Are they on threads? Boomer? BGM. BGM.

Yes, BOMES. Yeah, although generally I'm a fan of it, I get really frustrated how people just take his graphs and think they're actually factual. A graph is soaring above the bar of believability. Like a screenshot of anything looks like it's a real thing. So if you're making a graph, yeah, your credibility is pretty high. But his graphs will be like, here are the top 50 cheerleading squats. And it's like, how did you come up? Where did you get those rankings from?

What's your criteria here? Yeah, salty as fan bases. It's in graph form. Yeah. What did you pull? 100 people surveyed. What, how do we do this? He's just laughing at us. Big game boomer is. Can't believe I got buck cracked. Can you know a journalist like you? Kind of happy about it. Yeah. The King of Journalists. Yeah. Thank you. The Voice of Journalism. What I'd be going on. Greg, you've been typing with two fingers the majority of the show.

Greg, I'm from most of the shows. You're just showing. You're just showing. You're just showing. You're just showing. Have you ridden a column during the show? Yeah, what have you been doing? I'll show.

Okay, I'll show you exactly what I was doing. I just typed the phrase, big game boomer, because I wanted to know what we were talking about. Why did you type so loud? And with just two fingers. You like type loud? This is loud. Yeah. That's loud. That's also not how you type. I would prefer you type so loud and with just two fingers? Do you like tight blood? This is loud. Yeah.

That's loud. That's also not how you type, I would prefer you type that way instead of what the... And you're posture when you type, it's just all annoying. I can type 60 words a minute with two fingers, that's not bad. Oh shit, you haven't done that, one's the last time you've timed yourself. Uh, I never have. And you think that's good? I type 125 for type 125. You think

a word a second is good. I'm clocking 20. You don't think a word a second is good. No, they f and the J. It all starts there. That's why they have a little indentation on the keyboard. And I'm somebody that doesn't type the way that they should either. But I type with two fingers. Have you, can you find the f and the J there? Yeah, I'm looking at it right now. Can you get better at this? What about the PCC-NU and on improved and levatar show with the Stugas. Gamble on by DraftKins.
