You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. God bless football Chris Cody God bless football Mike EA God bless footballs do gods why are you asking Mike EA like Mike EA is a staple to the show you are not Oh, I did it that way you said it to me with a question mark. I thought that's just how we passed the book along here Uh, and that is how we right I'm not believe Billy is uh he's in Jerry Doody. That can't be true. He's been summoned to Jerry Doody, and you guys were talking right before we came on the air

that you would not want Billy to be someone who was, if you were in trouble, and in court, you would not want Billy to be a part of the jury. Is that fair? Usually when I look at somebody, I can tell whether you're someone who would love Jerry duty or would love to get out of jury duty. And belief is in this weird space where I can't, I don't know.

Is he someone who loves jury duty or is he trying to get out of this thing? I'm not sorry. I don't know that I don't want Billy on my jury. The question is, if I did it, if the evidence is overwhelming against me, I want Billy there because he's going to pro-Kenn Proud to find a way to be a contributor.

He would ask a lot of questions, but just not helpful for the case. So if it's a slam, talk that you're guilty, Mikey. Yeah, your tell me, Billy's going to find a way for you to be innocent. That's what you want out of your shirt. I mean, what is that? What? I'm trying to get off here. Yeah. So how does this show work? You just talk a bunch of football.

This sounds amazing. Yeah, we talk about football. That's what we do. Oh God bless it. Yep. We God bless football. Lucy's going to join us to talk some college football because college football, the second the NFL kicks off on Sunday, you have an epic game Washington and Oregon.

It gets buried. Yeah, it's done. By Monday, college football has been flushed out of your system. A probably a better slate than NFL because we had some fun with NFL yesterday. But in terms of marquee matchups, there wasn't a lot to offer you. I mean, Nance was calling Patriots at Raiders. I know. It's sad. And we'll get to we'll get to Balochek. This Balochek, Balochek's done. Like I'm going to like I'm calling it right now. We're here. Balochek is done, but we will get to that in just a second, okay?

Because you're right about that. Because you have the big game, Oregon and Washington, a classic game in college football. Yeah. And we'll talk about that with Lucy. But in the NFL, you did have a few major upsets yesterday. You had the jets beat in the Eagles. You had the Browns beat in the 49ers. It was a great day in terms of NFL football.

Well, yesterday was a great day in terms of NFL football. Well, yesterday was a great day. I mean, those two teams specifically just winning with just terrible off fences. Right. Like, I mean, I mean, I know it's, it's obvious to this one, but the jets and Browns defenses, it's all the dolphins have to worry about this point. I mean, we were just talking off air how all the good AFC teams are kind of, there's some holes you can poke in almost every AFC team, but the jets and browns defenses are crazy. Yeah, they're really good. Um, how do you feel as a dolphins fan?

I would say that you care about the dolphins more than anyone on, on our show. I appreciate that. I mean, especially on air, we do have a bunch of diehards behind the scenes, right? But on air, I would, I would agree with you. They're my team. Um, every dolphins fan today is doing the, wasn't worried down in 14, nothing thing. Yeah, I'm calling BS on them.

Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna do it too. I'm gonna sit here and then, I wasn't worried, Mikey, were you worried for me? Down 14 other? No, I wasn't worried for you. I wasn't worried for you at all. Just like I wasn't worried when the Jets were down 14, 3.

I was like, we got this. Can you put that on a ball? Were you worried for Chris when the dolphins were down 14? They're nothing in the first quarter of the Caroline. I was the only thing that made me a little worried. Did you see the play the dolphins had on third and one early in that game? They tried to get too cute. They like tried to throw the ball backwards.

Right. It was third and short. You just run the ball. It's it's actually if there is a weakness for this dolphins team, it's short yardages. Like they don't really, maybe Jeff Wilson can come back and help me breaking down. I love it. It's got plus football. It's all right.

It's all right. We're talking about football. It's okay. It's okay. But that play was just one of the worst plays ever. But overall, I mean, yeah, I'm do what can I say? This dolphins team. What what's that can I read you? I have millions of stats here that are just saying how the worst plays ever. But overall, I mean, yeah, I'm do what can I say this dolphin steam? What what stack can I read? I have millions of stats here that are just saying how great this dolphins offense. Okay, well, get to them. Just hold on a second,

though. You were not nervous. Like 14, nothing. It's Carolina. You're not feeling to have any game. You're not, you're not nervous. I looked at them live to bet them and they were still minus 190, right? Down 14, nothing. I was like, it's not even juicy enough for me to take. I wanted to jump in because I still felt like they were going to win, but the number Vegas was still telling you down 14 nothing. This is a huge favor in this game. All right. So your confidence, right? Go ahead, Mike. Chris, not for nothing against the Panthers. That's when you try the cute things. That's where you try. Hey, let's see if we can't throw it back and then throw it right and then

throw it down the field. That's when you do it. But you want to do it against the cheese. I feel like you want to save that stuff for like the, the, the, the Germany game or the Eagles. Like, why are we busting out this trick play? Now it didn't even work. So now it was whatever, man, I, I'm nitpicking. It's got to the point where there's nothing bad to say about this dolphins team.

So I'm just like reaching it straws for something negative. I can say the most positive thing about the dolphins. This is someone who is not a dolphin fan. Okay. I'm a jets fan. We'll get to them in a second. Okay. But I had a large. My biggest bet yesterday was on the dolphins. Yes. The dolphins at home have been money all season. They blow teams out at home. And I am telling you down 14 to nothing. And I had the dolphins minus 13 and a half. I bought it down for 14. Well, I didn't need it. But it's, it's always makes you feel good when you buy down that hook. Mikey, I could tell you, I was not nervous for a single second, even watching them

go down 14 to nothing and really being down 27 and a half to nothing on my bet. I was not nervous at all. That's wild. And that is, that's it. That is when you have a good football team. You're flying by the dolphins fans who weren't worried about winning the game. You weren't worried about covering your bet down 14. Nothing. I was, no, I was down 27 and a half to nothing. And I was not sweating it at all. To your point, the dolphins, the dolphins are on their best home stretch. 17 games, they're 15 and two the last two years. Right. I know. Where's that comfort? Where does this all come from? I don't know. To a, a McDaniel die. Hard like you, Chris. Yeah. I'll do the

advantage. Because this is, if you look at this team, the offense of stats, we've seen some good offenses in years past. The cowboys have had good offenses. But the dolphins are leading in rushing and passing. I, I crunch the numbers on this, do you got? Yeah. Well, hold on a second, cause, you know, usually when Billy perks up, okay, Mikey A and I know this, we just, we go to Billy because it means he's interested in something and

it means he's hot on something, it's never stats. And it's certainly never Dolphid stats. This is weird, Mikey A to have someone who cares about football in here. I know. It's crazy. It's all Billy cares about is sending a shit. I mean, that's it. I just wanted to look up like what other offenses have led the league in both and there's

never been the Cowboys in recent years had like the second and passing ninth and rushing right. The Cardinals with Kurt Warner second and passing eighth and rushing. Sure. We haven't seen a team lead in both rushing and passing since like the 80s. Right. Like it's just the dolphins are do it's not like they're just the best offense. They're the best offense. We've seen in decades. No doubt. It's just I don't know, I'm happy. You're so happy. I didn't even think this was possible a couple years ago. Do you have more stats for us? I mean, I have the dolphin. There's only four teams in NFL history that have accumulated 7,000 yards. It's only happened four times ever through this point in the season. Yes. No, no, no, total for the entire season. For the entire season. And the dolphins are on pace for 8400 yards. All right, Mikey.

If, if, if you're an NFL coach, if you're a football coach, what you want to do right now is you want to find some way to get low down on Mike McDaniel's staff, because it's going to be the Sean McFaytree. Yeah. Anybody who had a cup of coffee with Sean McFay was getting a head coaching job. Right.

Mike McDaniel's about to get the same treatment. Wow. So how does that work? You just find Mike, you, you know, hopefully, if I work? So you just find Mike, you get a cup of coffee. You get a cup of coffee and you get a job. You get a head coach and job. It's amazing. I think you're right.

It's just so good right now. And then Jalen Rams, he's ahead of schedule. I could go on forever. Right. You're getting, but this is all setting up too nicely for you. It is. I feel like something has something crash coming. There's a crash coming.

There's a concussion in our future or something. No, don't say that. Take it back. I'm not saying I'm just doing it. You didn't mean to tell me. No, I'm just saying. There's injuries and just like, I'm scared. This is too perfect right now.

You don't want to peak in October. How long have you been a dolphin fit? Your entire life? Is this the most excited you've been since you've been a dolphin fit. Your entire life is this the most excited you've been since you've since you've easy since you've been a dolphin fit. By far, this is the best team you've seen as a dolphin. Ten times. Yeah. The the the the next best feeling I've had as a dolphin fit. Right. Because you know, it feels like something's off a little bit and buffalo. They, you know,

eagot a victory over the giant. It feels like the AFC is really setting up nicely. And I'll tell you what Chris, it's, to me, this is what it feels like. If the dolphins have home field advantage in the AFC play, if they're the one seed, no one's beating them. I don't care if it's Kansas. See, I don't care who comes down to Miami to play this team. If they're playing you at home, they're going to beat you. I don't think they're going to lose a game at home this year.

How about that? I mean, you see your, your, your, this guy gets it. I said they wouldn't lose, I said they might not lose at home until Christmas. Remember, I remember I was mocked a few weeks ago. Yes. Remember a few weeks ago, I was like, they won't lose on American, they did lose to the bills.

Right. So that kind of went away. Right. But it's just dude, yes, the, the, the answer to your question is yes. Yes. I didn't ask a question. I mean, it just adults. Everyone, all the adults and fans of the control studio,

they agree with me. They're just like, yes. Do you guys agree? Yes. But I didn't ask a question. Did you guys agree? Hold on. Do you agree that I didn't ask a question?

Yeah. No. I'm debatable. That's right. Wow. Mikey, did I ask a question? I don't remember a question. I was just into the whole football talk.

I was excited. I know. It's an it's early evening, early afternoon. It's early. Uh, you know what I'm enjoying? You know what I'm enjoying more, not more than this dolphins thing is the Patriots just being terrible. Right. And once a week we get bellicics, spiking something. Yeah. Give me it all. Put it in my veins. I gotta tell you, this is when you know it's over when you are losing to Josh McDaniel

and Brian Hoyer. Oh, and you're doing so in embarrassing fashion. And then here's the other thing. When you're most loyal soldier, Teddy brisky is ripping you on a pregame show. Did he do it? He did. Did he fire him? He said, Bill has made this all about Bill and not about the team.

Brisky has he's never said a bad word about Bella check. Ever I was shocked. I had to rewind it to make sure it was true. I mean, nothing put a smile on my face. Then when they were going for this, like the option style offense, yeah, this quarterback, that's not a quarterback. Right. It's just so good. How about that cover if you had the Raiders, which I did.

Safety on the final play of the game. I was great. I love Mac Jones. Don't you dare bench Mac Jones, Bill Bela check. He's so weary. He just like, Mac Jones is just like in, out, in, out. He has nothing. He has no answers right now, Bill Bela check.

It's team Stinks. I know it's great. It's, it's, and that's not Bela check. Oh, his team stinks. I know. It's great. And that's on Bell Check. I mean, it's on nobody else but Bell Check. Seriously. I know. Well, I mean, the Brady not being there doesn't help.

Well, that's on Bell Check for running him out of town. Well, he's old. No, he ran him out of town. He won a Super Bowl after he ran him out of town. And then he drafted Mac Jones. All that's on Bill Bell Check. You got to have answers. You got to be ready. He wasn't ready for life after Brady Yeah, but I think the larger point is he never should have been in such a hurry to get rid of Tom Brady

Yeah, they want a Super Bowl. Chris the Bucs did the Bucs The Tampa Bay Buc in years The Tamp of Babe Bunk in the Ears! I just, I see Bellicx spiking a tablet in my dreams. It's what my dreams look like. What was it last week? It was the challenge flag? There's just spiked something different every week. I love it so much. All right, we'll talk college football with Lucy next. You're welcome. Nice. Well, I like being thought about. I was thinking about it.

I thought about you, son, during the Jets game. You did think about me. I was like, three and three. Not terrible. I was like, this dude got's going to be doing the thing. Right. Got a shot. We do have a shot.

I mean, we're in the mix. Mikey, do you feel like we're in the mix, the Jets? We are in the mix. We're absolutely. By definition. We're in the mix. Why are you thinking about me? I was thinking it. Thank you in the mix. Yeah, absolutely. By definition, we're in the mix. Um, why are you thinking about me? I was thinking of, thank you for reminding me. Yeah. Uh, I was thinking about you because you guys have the Eagles this week. Yeah. You being the dolphin. Thank

you. And so I was, and now there's a little juice off of that game because, you know, the jets, the jets beat the Eagles. And so I'm wondering, I think Chris wanted, Mikey, I think he wanted the Eagles all to himself. He wanted the dolphins to be the team that, you know, handed Philadelphia their first loss of the year at Philadelphia, by the way. And now he's been stripped of that opportunity. I was happy for Mercury Morris. I, well, yeah, the dolphins are cracking up with the champagne very early in the season, by the way. Yeah. But I was, I was thinking you wanted that game because now you have the Eagles coming off a loss, an angry, focused Eagles team, you know, I just think that that it's still

a test for the dolphins, whether the Eagles are five and one or six and out. So I don't think I really wasn't living in dying by that. Right. And they're not in our conference. If like, you know, the chiefs I want to lose because of the conference schedule. So I wasn't really, I still think it's a test for the dolphins because the dolphins schedule,

you could say, say what you want about how good the offense has been. The records of the teams they beaten, not great so far. So outside of the bills are they lost to, they need to have an impressive win. So I'm excited for this and I think that they can get it because who of the Eagles beat sound? Is that how we say you beat someone sound? I don't know. Who would they beat well? Like they like they've played every it feels like even the teams they play

that are bad like the jets not not to be a jerk, but it just seems like they played a jerk game. They play close games against everybody. So I'm just I feel like it's a good test for the dolphins because I think they can go and pass the test. The Eagles are beating the the Patriots, they're beating the Vikings, they're beating the box, they're beating the commanders, they're beating the Rams, you're right. And they lost the Jess. And it's a lot of close games. Yeah. The Eagles are good.

I'm not disrespecting them. That offensive line is legit. We're going to get to a real test for the defensive line because the dolphins defense line has been solid. They've been getting sacks. So we'll see if they can do it against Jason Kelsey. Jason Kelsey, by the way. Yeah. Can I go on a little rant, a little A little Jason Kelsey rant. Please do you're tired of them?

It yeah, I'm a little tired of because everyone's doing the thing now where it's I'm a Jason Kelsey guy. Yeah He's the one. Hey as somebody who is as average and give me this people. I'm average looking okay I don't like it when people are condescending towards and build up an average looking person. Right. They're doing this thing with Jason Kelsey now where they want to have the hot take of he's the one I like. Right. And it's like, can I tell you my wife is guilty of this? You're being condescending? Yes. You're being condescending. Tell my wife to shut up. Go ahead. It's just like it's it's insincere. You're trying to do the trendy thing of being into the guy that nobody like I like this guy

because everyone likes the other one. I see I'm onto you people. All right. No, say to Abbie. Just say to her. I like Jason Kelsey as much as the next guy. But he is being hyped up too much doing all this Kelsey stuff. Both Kelsey's.

You know what? I'm taking the hot take. I'm tired of all the Kelsey's. Wow. Most people are just tired of Travis. I'm tired of both of them. Put it on the pole. You tired of the Kelsey's?

Yeah. Well, now Donna Kelsey, that's the one I'm most tired of Travis. I'm tired of both of them. Put it on the pole, you tired of the Kelsey. Yeah. Well, now Donna Kelsey, that's the one I'm most tired of. I mean, Jesus. I mean, he's still got his concern. I mean, he's not wrong. Look at me, Louis. Look at me, Louise. My wife is, I find my wife doing the same thing

with Jason Cal. He's a center. Right. He's a center for pride. And he's like a friend. Likeable enough. Super likeable. I love the guy.

But it's just people are just flying by like just like, oh, he's the one I would choose. It's like you're just saying. This is what happens when you put people all over the place. Okay. And you never stop talking about it. It's going to have I'm telling you right now. It's going to happen if it hasn't happened already to pat McAfee. It's going to happen. Okay. Yeah.

It's going to happen. It's what happened with Deont Sanders Saturday night live. I mean, 16 minutes. What does he have? And now Saturday night live is doing sketches on Deont Sanders. It's like Keenan, not a great impression of it. But it was still funny. Yeah. Like the writing was good on it. The impression could have been better. Right. Chris, to your point, you know how insulting it is to be an offensive lineman, a big man with a beard and everybody's talking about how attractive that one is? That's what I say.

You understand? I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm

like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, Kelsey. Yeah, I prefer no you don't it's too much for Travis. It's too much exactly It's just like they're flying by and they're just like I'm on to you people. You don't all believe what you're saying right Right, but fam does make you a little bit more attractive. Does it not sure right? Why do you think I do this show? I was watching not that kind of fame You know how we have a weird type of famed like yay. I know our fame is weird.

It's just a bunch of bros. You know how, you know how, well, whenever there's an offensive line that jumps, you know how that when there, there's an offensive line in that jumps, you'll see seven defense alignment point. Yeah, of course. And they get the flag. Right. I think defenses should practice doing this when there's not a penalty in an offensive

alignment. You just say, okay, this third down play, we're all going to, with six seconds left on the play clock, point at the right tackle. Because I feel like a referee who sees seven defensive players, point at a right tackle, it's just going to assume, they're not going to assume that they planned this out. They're going to be like, oh my god, I must have missed something. Flag on the play. Boom. You can't review a penalty. I'm just saying, it's one of those things you this out. They're gonna be like, oh my God, I must have missed something. Flag on the play. Boom. You can't review a penalty.

I'm just saying, it's one of those things you bust out. You save it for the most important time of the season, but I think if it's executed perfectly, I think you could draw a penalty. I think you could fool these refs. That's what Omaha means. There you go. And everybody knows to point to the right tack.

Let's do that today. At some point this week on the main Levitard show, can you just point to someone at some during the show randomly and scare them? Sure. If seven people pointed to me in the middle of the show, I would just... I would freak out.

I felt like seven people have been pointing at me in the middle of a show. And all seven are Levitard. Yeah. It's a weird feeling. What else got you in the NFL yesterday? It was kind of a low scoring day. It was an interesting day though, because you had those two upsets.

That was the, that was it. But you're right. There is no, there doesn't appear. Maybe it's the dolphins. There doesn't appear to be a dominant team. Even the chiefs are not as good as the chiefs of been in years past. I mean, I still think the Niners are good. The Eagles will see on Sunday when the dolphins play the Eagles.

I think the interesting team that we're not talking about, the Lions, or that sneaky team right now, on the bucks. I can't figure like what do we, that's what we're team, right? If there's just a team out there that it's like, are they good or was that a fraudulent start to their season? Like are the bugs actually good? The box of one of those teams. Creams ago. How do we feel about the cream school jerseys? I love those. I love them in theory. I did not. Something about them yesterday. They weren't sitting with me, right? I was just like, no, they weren't they weren't the original cream cycles. They were a remake of the cream cycles.

You know, it wasn't it wasn't the same. There was less white. It seemed to, it seemed less, it seemed more plain looking like I needed some white in there to make the cream pop. Right. I want that cream to pop. I'm looking at it up right now. Orange, not enough orange cream cycle. Yeah. Man, do I love a cream sickle too? Do you really? I do. Like the treat. Those are your favorites. I go to St. Oman chocolate. I glare. I mean, I wouldn't say it's my favorite. It's just it brings me back strawberry shortcake. Yeah, that's the one. I would say that's my favorite or we're talking like ice cream truck style like I see you're pop. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I go to strawberry shortcake. I go to St. Omen. Creamsicles like when I was like it brings me back to a time.

Creamsicle brings me back to when I was six. Like I wouldn't probably eat one nowadays, but it just brings me back to a time. Mikey, I'm gonna blow your mind. You know they don't have toasted almonds down here? They don't. They don't make them anymore. What do you mean? They don't make like good,

you're not making toasted almonds. No, I refuse to believe that. They come on the blobs every day. When it comes to this stuff, I am there. I am in the trenches. You know, they stop making them and they apologize for it. Why?

Like what was the reason? I was there reason back in three years and charge a charge of all my all of them in limited edition. They can mark them up even more if they want. I'll still buy them. Has Darius slayed in a bit of giant for 40 years? Yes. I mean, that's just that's all that guy. I was like that. I feel like I was in high school and that guy was

was a giant. He played with a money to her I also I Why'd you just pointed on? I mean, this is a good job. That's a good name. It's a good name. But only if you jump off sides, we pointed on that Did anybody else during the NBC broadcast preview of pregame? I'm like kind of in my kitchen half listening to the pregame. I'm like, kind of in my kitchen, half listening to the pregame, and they're like, Taylor is starting tonight. And I was like, wow, they're taking this Taylor Swift thing

a little too far. I was like, I get it, NBC, that you want, but it just didn't, I had the visual of Taylor Swift starting a quarterback for the Giants last night. Better than Daniel Jones. That would have got some ratings. No doubts. Speaking of Taylor Swift,

the Tyrod Taylor threw you off. Yeah, I was just like, Taylor starting a quarterback tonight. I'm like, this is gone too far. Right. This is just for Taylor. Really serious. She would have been at the jet game with Travis Kelsey, not just showing up when it's in when she's in her, her box. She would have been at the jet game because Travis was in Travis at the jets game. Yeah. That's what he said. That's what she was. She should have been there with. Yeah. She was at the chiefs game Thursday night. She was not at the Jack game with Travis watching her brother, watching his brother Jason play.

The real one. So it's not fully committed, Mike, is what you're saying. That's what I'm trying. She's only committed when it's convenient for Taylor, right? Another winner in all this. We were talking Jason Kelsey, big winner in all this Patrick Mahomes wife, getting to sit next to Taylor during these past games, getting this dance

with her. I'm seeing clips. It's just, you know, I think she needed a little PR help. Like people, the internet had gotten on her and the brother in the past. So I just feel like this is all good for Patrick Mahomes wife because she wasn't the most popular on the internet. I think this Taylor connection is really helping her. But you're not tired of her yet.

No, no. She's instantly more like, well, to me, sitting next to Taylor. But all the Kelsey's, you're tired of. And just some tired, no, no, no, no, see, I're not tired of her yet. No, it's like she's instantly more like, well, to me, sitting next to Taylor. But all the Kelsey's, you're tired of. And just some tired, no, no, no, see, I'm not tired of Jason Kelsey. I'm tired of how everyone is patronizing Jason Kelsey and being condescending to his, trying to, oh, he's the one I'm attracted.

It's like, don't do that. Right. I'm onto you people. Right, Abby, oh well. Yeah, she's full of it. She's just zagging. She's zagging when everyone's ziggs. Why? Cause it should be Travis. Because everyone's going Travis. And she like the people want to be like, that's the

one I like. Yeah. But Jason, you know, they took different paths. Jason, you know, Travis is he's he's single. He's he's living his best life. He's he's doing what they just have two different vibes. Like kelp Travis is like, so I understand why is his hip. Right. And and the other one is just more every man, so I understand why this is hip. Right. And the other one is just more every man. But I understand why my wife loves Jason, you know, he's a father, he's a good father. And he seems like a great husband,

he's a great person, he seems like a loyal person. Like I get all that. You're getting many people for liking the nice blog. Like Kelsey's do this thing that the code he's been doing for years in their podcast. I have my daughter come up to the podcast thing and talk to my dad my, my dad. And it's just, it's adorable as our podcast gets.

Right. It doesn't get the traction that the Kelsey's get. Right. But I'm telling you, we've been doing that move of bring my kid over, have a cute moment with grandpa, because that's as likable as Travis gets is when he's talking to his niece. Oh, no doubt. Yeah. Uncle Travis. Oh, Travis.

Come on, I don't go. Travis. Oh, I'm melt. I'm melt when it happens. Are you tired of the kids yet or heavy? Yeah. You said it. I asked you, no, now I asked you a question.

That's a question. I know what I answered. I'm not ripping kids. But yeah, come on, get your own podcast. Oh, they'll have one. That will be bigger than ours. God bless. He's taking.

We found Lucy. She's with us. We'll talk some college football because it gets buried the second the NFL starts every Sunday at 9.30 a.m. Weird. Lucy, I want you to share with the audience what you just shared with us about the the the Oregon game being on at the same time as the Iowa game. Please share your thoughts with the audience. Oregon, Washington was an amazing game. Oh great. Depending on who you are, Iowa was constant may have also been an amazing game. They happened at the exact same time and they should not be considered the same sport and they should not be in the same conference at all. That under though. At time Chris is here, he goes like,

no team is more loves by gamblers than the Iowa guys. Wait, so how many picks has Lucy given you this year? Oh, dozens. Really? She's well above 500. I mean, I think last week was like her first. That's like what really bad. That was like the only week she didn't crush it though.

This week she had a winning record. Before that, I think we were like nine and four for the, she's just well above profit so far. And it is every week. She basically, she kind of like, uh-oh. What happened? Flambom? She puts a caveat on it every week.

She's always like, please. This is what football does to you. I mean, if you'd like to do this to yourself, the Iowa under is there for you. And I take it every week and it's, oh, it's a joy. Okay, so she's well above 500. Wait, but you're well above 500. Do you take the Iowa under is there for you. And I take it every week and it's, oh, it's a joy. Okay. So she's well about 500 wait, but you're well about 500. Do you take the Iowa under every single week? Every single week. Wisconsin is a gimmie. You can give me right now I would put money on the under the head for the next five years against Wisconsin.

I don't need to know anything about those teams. I would absolutely take that. I believe it's Iowa Minnesota this week. That's another game. Every remaining game on the Iowa schedule, I will be hammering together. She had me on North Carolina minus three betting against my local hometown team here, but it hit, baby. All right, we'll get to Lucy. Lucy or Goosey in just a second here, because Carolina, Meg or may not be one of the teams that I ask her about this week. Where are you right now, though? Lucy? I am actually back in Iowa. I am in Coralville. We were out here for the Iowa women's basketball team. They played a football state of game in the football stadium. 55,000 people showed up in a broker record. It was unbelievably awesome. It's one of the coolest events I've

ever been to. Nice. 55,000, huh? Yeah. for it's there've never been that many people ever at a women's basketball game. And it was amazing. Obviously, Caitlin was great. The crowd was awesome. It was just an exhibition game, but it was one of the coolest experiences I've ever had. And Thursday, you had the Colorado Friday, you were at the Colorado game. Yeah, for the first half. I may have made a crucial error and left early. Yes. Without the, obviously, wasn't planning on Stanford coming back and winning. No one was, right? So it went, it went kind of bad for me. Yeah. But that's my own fault. No excuses. That's on me. Listen, I'm going to get you off the hook right now because I left early. Do you remember the heat won a second NBA championship against the spurs? Yes.

And right now and hit the shot. I left before the shot, Lucy. I left before overtime. I left before regulation was over. Everyone's been calling me Lou Gottz all weekend. Now you know why? Did you try to get back in? Did you try to break back in? Did you try to break back in? Like Stegots did.

No. No. So here's the thing. I did not try to break back in because no, I knew the ticket policy. I knew they were not letting me back in. Everyone else tried to break back in. So I was walking against the grain because everyone heard a roar from the from the arena and started to run back in. And I kept telling people as they passed me, you're not getting back in. You're not getting back in. You're not getting back in. And none of them got back in. I mean, I got to my parking spot, which was a great spot right up this game. I got home. I watched the game. I taped it, you know, but I regret missing that. But Lucy, I did tell you, I told you this would happen. We discussed this. They

built up D.O.D. so much that 60 minutes goes out there. They do a piece on D.O.D. Great. The second they stumble, I told you people were going to come down on D.O.D. He went from 60 minutes to Saturday night live doing a sketch on him. I told you, we built them up too much, Lucy. You know that. No, 100%. I mean, we talked about it then. Like, I still want to like I still want to give D on credit because Colorado is better than I thought and something that kind of took me by surprise going to that game I had never been to a Colorado game. It actually never been to a pack 12 game before and the atmosphere there like truthfully wasn't great. Like there were 55,000 people there. They sold out the stadium, but you it was a tough

sell like it didn't have the football tradition that I've seen going to ACC games, the big 10 games for so for him to get world class athletes there is incredibly impressive and they've already exceeded my expectations for this year, but he was never next Sabin this season Colorado was never someone worth betting to win the national championship which so many people did. It was one of those moments where people like they dove in head first and it was like you need to wait a second. This is a dip your toe in type of situation. It's going to be a rough year for Colorado. And that's Stanford game. I did get to see the second half. I watched it. Just not in person.

Right. As you say, SNL, like it's a bad thing. Like that's when the you jump the shark. He's that's just like you still he's on the rise still to me. Yeah. When I see SNL, that is just like you are your popular. Right. Is what that says? Are you doing the whole like Zion shoe thing? Like any publicity is get posted. I'm just saying I don't look at him being spoofed on SNL as like up. That's that it's over the hill now. And to me, that's just the star is still rising SNL. I think I agree with you. I think it's more of when I said, like, don't, don't, don't jump in and don't jump in on Colorado. Like if you want to be all in on Deon, that's totally fine. And his star power is to continue to grow. It doesn't

matter if Colorado loses every game the rest of the season. He's on every commercial during every college football Saturday. Like he is going to continue to grow and rise. his Colorado will inevitably improve. It will happen. But for people to come in and say, you know, year one, he was going to be the best, you know, coach of all time and all these things. It was, it was a little ridiculous.

And I think Dan said pretty much all of those things. They were making fun of how he can sound ridiculous sometimes. Yeah. Like about he just, no matter even if they're losing. Oh, listen, I love Dion. Like what he's done during these losses is better than what he's done during the win. Like the way he treats his kids, the lessons that he's teaching his kids off the field,

it's fantastic. Like he really, he's a great guy. I'm just saying we, I'm not blaming Dion. It has nothing to do with Dion. Kinda like me which Jason Kelsey. It's not Kelsey I'm mad at. It's the people's reaction. Like Lucy said, the media mostly Dan built them up so much,

and now we're taking them down. And that's unfortunate. I'm not certain we should be doing that. This early. Yeah, maybe I left early in protest of Dan. People bring that point up. It's a fair point. Are you ready for Lucy or Goosey?

Are you ready? I don't have, I'm in a hotel, so I don't have anything to hold up. So I'll do L for Lucy. This one looks like a G. Okay. Nice. Very clever.

Okay. Here we go. I just got a few for you. Carolina, North Carolina beat the Cains. They're undefeated. That team looks really good. The defense look really good. North Carolina, Lucy or Goosey?

I'm going to go Lucy on this one because I was not super sole on Carolina. The only one I was impressed by was App State. And I think they still kept it a little too close. Can say very good. App State team. The reason I'm going Lucy on this is I watched that Miami game. I was so impressed by their defense. Drake may looks pretty bad in the first half.

And Carolina's defense was what kept them in that first half of the game. And that has not been the case. Carolina for the past few years has been the reverse eye. What were their offense is amazing. And your defense is like a crime against humanity. They're much vastly improved this season. Carolina is very good, but they do have duke remaining on their schedule. They'll get somebody probably tough in the ACC championship game. I'm excited for this Carolina team though. They are good. All right. Let's go to Alabama here. One loss that lost came a few weeks back They went back to Milro as their quarterback. He's played well. Alabama one loss Lucy or Goosey?

I'm gonna go Lucy. I talked about what the issue with Alabama was a few weeks ago. I think Jala Milro is fine I think every once in a while, he'll have a crazy overthrow on ball to a receiver where you're like, oh my God. And then the next play is the pass of his life. Right. It's he's a freshman. There's going to be growing pains. There's going to be adjustments.

The only thing that still concerns me is the Alabama offensive line. They've got a guy on there who was committed to Iowa. Didn't go. He's a turn style right now. And it's I watched the Arkansas game. They had three sacks in the first half, given up against them. Alabama is not protecting Millro whatsoever. And they're just lucky that right now they're in a year where the SEC West and the SEC isn't as tough as it is because they have a major glaring obvious

weakness and is that offensive line. Everything else that agreed. All right. Let's go to Oregon. I know they lost this weekend. I know you're Lucy on Washington in the top four. They all rolled this weekend. So I don't need to ask you about those, but Oregon lost. I think both those teams, for me, they're two of the four best teams I've seen in the country this year. Both teams should be in the college football playoff. I don't know if that's the case, but Lucy or Goosey on Oregon. I got to go Lucy on this one. I know Oregon lost. They lost because of a miss kick. I wouldn't even say they lost because of a miss kick.

I'd say they lost because of some coaching errors. Dot Dan landing was more aggressive in spots where he should have been playing it a little safe and not aggressive enough in spots he was playing it safe. Organ is a phenomenal team. I think that if that game were played in Eugene, Oregon would have won that game. Their defense looks good. Both Nix is amazing. Those were two phenomenal football teams,

and I'm hoping, and I don't think it's going to happen because the Pac-12 is right now about to enter the thick of their schedule, where everyone will cannibalize each other. But I hope we get lucky enough to have Oregon Washington and the Pac-12 championship game. Lucie or Goosey, Desmond Howard chanting big PENIX energy on college game day.

Um, I'm going to go. He changed the pronunciation to what Chris? The Phoenix. Okay, good. Yeah. I'm going to go hard. Moosey is the G. Lucie on that.

What? Yeah. That is, that is the Pat McAfee, a full effect taking over college game. Desmond Howard would have never done that two years ago And it was just like the crowd was just like not behind it just he's gonna Then he just like kept dancing, well, he was just like awkward. And then almost of course I don't hate him.

And it's just, I wasn't looking because I was cringing. You were, it was hard to watch. It's hard to look when you cringe. You're right. I'm thinking about it. So you're, you're goosey on that. Yeah. Yeah.

Very goosey. Okay. It's goosey on all of college game day. Uh, Phoenix Jr. won the, uh, he won the Highsman trophy. Yeah. Sorry. Petics. He won the Highsman trophy. He won the Highsman, right? There are highsman moments. He had his Highsman moment, right? He absolutely did. Caleb Williams, again, snoder, day and this weekend looked absolutely terrible. So as, as, you know, Michael Pinnex Jr. Rose Caleb Williams fell, which helps his case. I think it was really important for anybody who had been watching Washington football this year knew what he was capable

of, knew what he was doing. But people don't watch Washington football because they're late games, they're on the West Coast, they're sometimes televised on a network you can't find. So now that it was a national stage against a great team that everybody watched, it feels like he has the clear heistman favorite and there's really not even someone else you want to throw into the conversation right now that's not him. All right, we have 30 seconds here last one. Oregon State, Lucy or Goosey? Oregon State is interesting. It's a tough one. I think they're a good team, but I'm going Goosey not because they're a bad team, but because they are in a conference that is simply going to be impossible.

If Oregon State were playing in the big 12, I know they wish that was the case. They would win that conference. But right now you share a state with Oregon. You have Washington State, Washington. You have the most insane difficult teams around you that Oregon is Oregon State is a very good team. They don't have a ton of talent, but they recruit in a way that they know what works for them. They get what they need. It's not the five star, but it's a real developmental program. It's just not going to be enough against these teams that have so much talent are just light years ahead of everyone. Time. Anyone in any conference. Just time there.

It was time my 12 seconds ago. Lucy, we love you. We will talk to you later this weekend, of course, next week, right here, on God bless football. Bye, guys. Bye. Mikey, how do we explain to Chris Cody here who's done a great job filling in for Billy Billy's uh, yes, he has Jerry duty. Um, how do we explain and we all agree that we do

not want Billy? Well, we do want Billy on the jury. Well, we're not certain. But Jerry's out. Hey, well, to look at you, I'll be here. I'll be here today. But you're short early in the afternoon, my friend. I gotta tell you this early evening. I love it. What does Billy do here with the bats? I have no idea. Billy's big board, something Mike Yagspot is to Chris because the audience has grown to love Billy doing this. Now Chris, Chris has the responsibility of providing them with three picks on tonight's gate. Yeah. So it's Billy's best bets big boards brought to you by. And then we got to find that sponsor. We got to insert a sponsor here. Right. This is what you're going to give.

Yeah. Go ahead. Go ahead. That's just that. You're going to give three picks for tonight's game. Yeah, it starts in a few hours. Yeah. Yeah. Now, Billy's big. We all bet them. Billy's big bet board is going to be called this week. Chris's can't miss conception. Really? I don't know. I just just trying to do a CC thing. Yeah. Could you think of a good name? I just can't miss kick. Come check out these conceptions by Chris. All right. All right. Kirsten likes it. That works. Okay. All right. The first Boppy right, right, but you don't have a big border or anything. Do you? You try to make this border? It's a big screen. I have a computer because it's C. Right. Computer. Uh-huh. All right. Michael Gallup under three and a half perceptions. Really? Yeah. Huh?

Not a big Gallup guy. He's gonna be more walking more like Michael walk. No, all right. No, no, just let the bad jumps in there. My key. Let it sit there. Oh my God. The second pick increases cool conceptions on his computer. Eccler, over 13 and a half longest rush. Wow. I like that. I'm talking about that. I'm talking about that. I'm talking about that. I'm talking about that. I'm talking about that. I'm talking about that. I'm talking about that. I'm talking about that.

I'm talking about that. I'm talking about that. I'm talking about that. I'm talking about that. I'm talking about that. I'm talking about that. I'm talking about that. I'm talking about that.

I'm talking about that. I'm talking about that. I'm talking about that. I'm talking about that. I'm talking about that. I'm talking about that. I'm talking about that. I'm talking about that. I'm talking about that. I'm talking about that. I'm talking about that. final. That's one rush, by the way, right? Right. His longest of the night will be over 13 and a half. All right.

The third pick on Chris's cool conceptions on his computer brought to you by, brought to you by cool, cool, a good. Yeah. All right. It starts with a K. CD lamb to score it because I was trying to find see. I got it. It's right. CD lamb. See, D. Lamb to score a touchdown. All right. CD Lam, CD Lam to score a touchdown. Book it. Michael Gallup under three and a half receptions, Echlor to rush over 13 and a half yards, his longest rush.

CD Lam to score a touchdown. Book it. All right. That should be the name of the segment. Book it. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good segment.

Right. Yeah. We do that. Didn't we do that already? We have. We've done it all. We did a segment called book it at one point. Listen, when you have done this for as long as I've done it, okay, 20 some odd years, you've done every segment. There is no new segment for me, okay? Speaking of top five quarterbacks through week six.

Let's go. That's why I'm here. Is it week six? I have no idea what we're, what week are we in? I get three to three to jets, right? We've got, All right. Here we go. Number five, Jared Goff. I am with you, Chris. I think the Lions, if there's a team that is going to surprise either the Niners or the Eagles and bounce them out of the playoffs and find themselves in the net and NFC championship game, it's going to be the Lions. I'm not certain the lines are at the best

most complete NFL team in the league this year. I'm looking at some and try to look up some super balls here. Let's see where they're at. Oh, the lines are probably up there, which I cannot believe I'm saying that in my lifetime. The lines would be one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl, but they are. They are, they're by the dolphins, the chiefs, the the Niners, the Eagles, and the Cowboys, and the bills are all ahead of them. So they're still like, they're like ace in this list. So like, they're good value there. I agree. Like if maybe the Jags too, I'm trying to look, if you're looking for value, the Jags

are good play too. Jags and Lions would be the value picks for Super Bowl winners. We'll see what happens with Trevor Lawrence. I think he was injured, Bull and I know he's getting looked at today. So we'll find out what happens with him. Number four, a rookie has cracked the top five. I love this kid. CJ Stroud. Wow. He's good. Rookie. Mike, yeah, he's good. I mean, Sims has never said things about a rookie quarterback that he said about CJ Stroud. He loves him. I love him. He's good. The Texans are pretty good. I don't know. I'm not

sold. I don't know if he'm not sold. I don't know if he's top five. That's just a little strong. Six. Okay. Just a little strong. It's a little strong. All right. Number three, he plays tonight, Justin Herbert. Yeah. He's good. Do we add the sounder in post because without the sounder, these lists. I blame point this. I blame Billy. I can just do it. Let's point fingers. Yeah. I'm like here since fall. Who's fault is it?

Can we take phone calls yet? I mean, that was the whole reason Billy wanted to do this was take phone calls. We haven't taken a call. There's six weeks. Number two, Kirk Cousins. Oh, there it is. This is just hits. It feels better. Yes, does. I know the Vikings are two and Oh, there it is. It just hits and feels better.

Yes, does. I know the Vikings are two and four, but it's not Kirk's fault. I can tell you that he's having one of the great all-time seasons for a quarterback and a team. That is two and four. There you go. That's a good copy out there. The day he retires, he starts just walking to camp. Five years. We'll take him exactly five years to get there. and then he'll be it. You don't think so. No, I don't know. Think so. First battle. All right. Number one up. Two up. Mikey, why are you getting mad? He's the best quarterback in football right now. It's the joke that's the thing. That's the guy that got you mad. That's a gallop joke.

Carolina Panthers plus 50,000 So this is a guess you know better Yeah, he doesn't care I had to rewind Mikey towards the end of the jet game when it was over I had to rewind to make sure what I saw happened Uh, did you have this? I had to make sure did the jets actually win this game I had to rewind it. I wanted to make sure They did by the way they won the game. I could not believe it

Mikey is that the most shocked you have been as a jet fan watching watching the Jets play because for me It's it was I could not believe we beat the Philadelphia Eagles. I called my daughter Yes, is that the best Jets win in a decade? Cause it might be. I mean, Monday night football, open the season wasn't bad. Uh, yeah. But I mean, against Buffalo after rogers gets hurt. Yeah, but Roger still got hurt.

So that was sitting there. That's what I mean, that makes that win almost more impressive. No, I know. I understand what the game was supposed to be versus what happened. Right. I mean, I understand. I understand what Chris is saying the first game. It was, it was, you had the punt return for a touchdown, walk off over time, beat the

bills. They're clearly the two biggest wins in franchise history though. Like we can, like, not franchise history. They want to be trained. You guys are doing that here. It's just like, game. I was a big fan of the game. I was a big fan of the game. I was a big fan of the game. I was a big fan of the game.

I was a big fan of the game. I was a big fan of the game. I was a big fan of the game. I was a big fan of the game. I was a big fan of the game. I was a big fan of the game. I was a big fan of the game. I know that the offense line is, as Dan says, the best unit in all of football, but outside of that, they've been kind of beatable this year.

A lot of close games. I guess. There's no dominant team in the NFL. They're just, I mean, there it is. There's one. I mean, and they're missing like six guys on defense. We're not even close. We haven't even hit our stride yet.

Minus four in the turnover margin we are. Right. But you lost a buffalo. Yeah, that's fine. Yeah. I lose sometimes. Yeah. That's a good loss you're saying.

I do think the dolphins are the best team in the NFL. Dude, it's just that offense. Like, I don't even care if they're defensive. All their defense has to be is slightly above average and they can win this. Well, if two is healthy. Right. There I said it.

Got a football. Got blessed football, Mikey. Can we do it again God love football. God bless football, Mikey. Can we do it again? We just do it like in the minute, or do we do it at the end of the segment? What? Just tell each other God bless football again. You can do it whenever you want.

God bless football, Mikey. Yeah. God bless football. Yeah, God bless football. Doesn't work as well at the end of the segment. That's why we open it. Yeah. No.

Oh. You're the best. What else do I have here? First ask me, what do I have to do to be prepared for God bless football? Just watch football. What are you doing for me? Yes. What's the homework assignment here? Watch football? So God you don't even have to.

Come on. What are you looking up now? Just, you know, I got notes. Just, you know, okay, I did get the big PENX energy. Did I do that yet? You did that, yes. I love when Red Zone cuts away from like perspective. Right.

Like there was, I think it was the Patriots Raiders game where Jim Nance is like, like a play happens and he's, I just burped and he goes, he goes, I, this reminds me of when they played two years ago. Raiders, and then in the middle of the sentence, you just hear Scott Hansen go, we go now to the commanders versus Cardinals. And it's just like, you wanted to hear the end of the sentence. It was just like, it was just a funny example of red zone having no time for any perspective. We don't give a shit, just give me football plays. I was like, it was just a nice tapestry that Jim Nance was weaving.

That's what he does. And I was just like listening to it. And all of a sudden it's like no time for this. I need commanders and cardinals just got in past 50 yard line. But that's on you for watching the red zone. That's the red zone. That's their job. They're not interested in Jim Nance's stories.

But can't we just say if you want to see, if you want to hear Jim Nance's stories, watch Jim Nance cut the cuts. But can't the cuts be just a little less aggressive? Like they're just cutting them off mid sentence. Like let me let him finish. Let me I want to know what happened to the red zone. What happened two years ago when the Raiders played the Patriots? I'm curious.

And it's just like, nope, Cardinals commanders. They just passed the 50 yard line. I need to see Josh Dobbs right now. I have a Chris Cody observation. I'll throw out there. How angry are you if you're a London NFL fan that Germany is getting chiefs dolphins and you got you got those garbage games. Like you got to do it.

You got Jackie. You got Jack's bills. That's a decent game. Yeah. I mean, was it though? Yeah. No, but Germany is a pretty terrible. Germany's killing that Germany. Yeah, Germany gets Dolphins chiefs. That is what a game. And put the kids to right, even though it's every time is the game. And we'll wake the kids up and put it down for an early nap. Put them again to bed. Wake them up, especially early so they can have a weirdly early nap.

What time do your kids wake up? Up till four or seven a.m. So I think for that game, you got to wake them up at five. Yes. So they? Up till four and seven a.m. So I think for that game, you gotta wake them up at five. Yes. So they're ready to nap by nine a.m. nap a.m. nap a.m. Well, nappy poo. You do that. My kid doesn't nap anymore. You're not getting up at five. They don't nap once they're past like two years old. What they don't tell you. They don't tell you that part. You didn't know that.

No, no, no, no, no. I always assumed kids nap. Right. I don't do it. Do you nap? No know that? No, I was assumed kids nap. Right. I don't do it. Do you nap? No, I do. On today, I'm going to. You nap. Well, no, you're not.

No, you're not. Tonight, when I go to sleep. I call sleeping at night. Napping. It's weird. A little brain game nap. God bless football, my gay. Whatever there's silence, he's uncomfortable.

He just worked out God bless football. The dolphins are good. Let's go, baby. God bless football, Chris Cody. God bless football, my gay. God bless football, Mike Ye. God bless football, Stu Gouds. Ha ha ha ha.
