He's the guy that set up our knockout league. he's been instituting a couple of he'll take a couple games off the board now if the spreads get too wild we're trying to pair this down and get a winner

by the end of the season what's the numbies 39 left in the main knockout bracket which is a lot for this time of year and I think two weeks ago what was the big upset

Carolina bills Oh, the Rams? Packers. The Panthers beat the Packers. That was a big one. Okay. Maybe he had taken that off the board and then...

Oh. And then... It went the other way. Yeah, it went the other way. Yeah, the Baker lost. That was a big one, too. Oh, New Orleans? Yep.

Tyler Shoff. What's up with Baker, bro? You okay? I didn't watch, but... He's got to be hurt. He's hurt. There's no other explanation. Right.

He's just got to be gritting through it, you know? Yeah. So 39 are left. A lot of people picked The Ravens, the Browns, because they had the Titans at home. Like that, dude. The Titans at home. You lose to the Titans at home?

What are we doing? Tony Pollard. They're the Browns. Tony Pollard. I don't know. They beat Packers at home. They play really well at home. I know.

Miles Garrett's a menace. There's no outcome involving the Browns and Titans where you can be like, come on. It's the Browns and Titans. Now, I did thoroughly enjoy that. that two-point play. Just trying to figure out what exactly... Well, I mean, actually, I think... I've never seen anybody do it before,

but it's tough in an audio medium. I think the play would have worked if the back had just pitched the ball when he was supposed to. But, you know, it was like a pitch, reverse, and the back just forgot. And one of the greatest things about slow-motion replay in sports,

it's, to me, it's not physical feats. It's not, oh, my God, the body control. It's in real time, a guy realizing I fucked this up so bad. And you can see his head start to kind of turn. But also, like, why don't you just run a play? Do you hear us play that Tony Grosie asking? Love to hear from Tony Grosy.

Love to hear from Shador. He's their quarterback next year. He should be. Tony Grosy was, you know, on the Stefansky press conference yesterday. Kevin, hi. Was it a mistake? not to start Shadur earlier. Oh, yeah, I'm not going to get into those type of things, Tony.

I'm obviously focused on what's in front of us. And about the second two-point conversion, but Tonyo said after the game, you guys were reping that play back in Philadelphia. I remember seeing it myself. But the fact is Judkins was not with you in Philadelphia. So did he get breath? Friday on that play he did how do they do uh we ran the play so you know Tony

bottom line is just God bless that is we have not heard that since Ray Stone that's Ray Stone right there just I'm not moving off this position and I've got you in the crosshair do you actually practice this play that's bad that's what he asked you doors like no we didn't practice it we just thought we run into the game or he was like Was it successful in practice? You know, one of the problems Shadur is going to have, and this is why some guys can fool the media. Shadur has the look on his face at all times of shit-eating grin.

And I suffer from that, too. Like, he laugh, talks. Like, they ask him questions that he knows are stupid. And instead of being like, well, you're going to come out, he's going to go, blah, blah. Schuier's like, I don't know. What do you think? Just kind of laughing about it.

It's not becoming. doing the who's who was on stage or on the the stand recently doing the look with your eyes the god it wasn't nicky minage there's some uh rapper who remember i told you i was really into the the trial when it was going down watching cardy b carty b yes have you guys watched i i did after you told me she's become a meme but the uh well how did you know she's like just pointed her eyes Duh, like, that's your doer. All right, want to do some newsy? Here's Jake with the dumb zone news.

That's right. We're all Christmassy. I like that. Do you? Do you? Do you think it's gay? I think it's fantastic and gay. Yeah.

And Christmas is one of those holidays where you start hearing the word gay. and songs a lot, you know? It's pretty last night. For a little kid, this is a real holiday. It's glorious. Yeah. We'll start with a little bit of national news. The Donald Trump administration has made some alterations to which holidays will qualify for free entrance into national parks.

So apparently you can get in for free on any holiday, which is a cool bit because that's, like, kind of when people are going mostly I would think you're off of work like so they are giving you freebies on on peak hours that's good

MLK day that's been not free it's been historically the first fee free day of the year but it is now not free

and it is joined by Juneteenth so those two seem to have something in common. We have now added one, though. We've removed June 19th, which is Juneteenth, but we have

added June 14th, which is Donald Trump's birthday. Oh, no. Isn't that flag day, too? How would I know that? You'd know. Yeah. So is that the cover? Or are they calling it Donald Trump's birthday?

That's why this is free. If there's a cover, then I didn't read the whole story. But, yeah, no, I think it's, that's what it is. Which, you know, we do this for, this is kind of how I, this is a side road, but this is kind of how I feel about people getting up in arms about Dave Portnoy saying to kill Pete Carroll.

I don't think you guys covered that story yesterday. No. But Dave Portnoy, at the end of Raiders, was it Raiders, Broncos? Oh, we talked about them covering. Yeah, and Portnoy's like, someone should kill Pete Carroll. But of course, he now works for Fox. He can't do that. But why?

Like, is there anything that different about him saying that in anything else he said? My point here is, yes, it's gross. It seems gross to have Trump's birthday on here. But, like, what about all the other presidents we have birth, we take time off? What do you think MLK was a great dude? He wasn't. you think Lincoln was a great dude he wasn't don't you dare like come on

Garfield was he was the one perfect I feel like we're holding Trump to this present day thing of being like oh he's just he's the worst like listen he's just the next one he's just the next one now pretty brazen to do it while you're still in office a little bit of a

goose that vibe there so other free entrance days president's day which is like Washington and Lincoln together, right? Yeah, you get the basic ones, right? July 4th. July 4th, the 110th birthday of the National Park Service. Constitution Day.

What's that? I should tell my neighbor. One of my neighbors... Do we take that day off? One of my neighbors just has a bumper sticker that says, I heart the Constitution. September 17th. Veterans Day.

And Theodore Roosevelt's birthday. He was a park, bro. Is that why? He has the park because of him. Oh. Yeah. They took away M.L.K., Juneteenth, National Public Lans Day. And the anniversary of the Great American Outdoors Act.

Those are called Beards. That's, uh, we can't just remove the only two black holidays. Is there anything else we could put on the chopping block to not make this so obvious? Okay. Here comes. Why would he bother, though, based on everything else he's done? Yeah, I mean, I'm just, I'm focused on the 110th birthday of the National Park Service. That's a real zig when they zag.

Let's see here. This is a, this is the sort of, this is very throw-down news desk, but we had a story out of South Carolina. You guys know drone deliveries are all the rage now. And you would assume that, like, prisons have pretty tight drone security. But at a prison in South Carolina, some inmates were able to get, like, a Christmas meal flown and dropped in via drone. That's awesome. Steak, crab legs, old bay, weed, and cigarettes. Okay, so those stank and crab legs were the cover, the beard?

While they're coming in. Yeah, I mean, I think it's more of a while we have you here. You know, it is the holidays. If we just get to 100, we get free shipping, so what else can we add to it? Yeah. The prison spokeswoman Christy Shane said, quote, I'm guessing the inmates who are expecting the packages are crabby today. Was she, was that a pun?

Name? again? Shut up. Christy Shane. You're never going to be able to find the South Carolina Prison Spokeswoman's social. I lose both of them.

They turn into Chloe from 24 trying to triangulate some sort of satellite HACR-Y-S-T-I. Yeah. All right. She has a Twitter account. Here she is with the GameCock

mascot. Wow. Okay. Gimme. Gimmy. God. See, I'm interested in the news. So, apparently this is a thing now.

The people used to use catapults, it says, in this story. Which, it's like showing up at a fight with a mace. I'm going to medieval. Wait, they're catapulting a drone? No, they're saying this is. This is an update in the arsenal to move on from catapults, which they would use for things like packages of cell phones, whatever. And I think you can pretty much do drugs in jail whenever you want.

Like, I think it's there, you know? It can't be high quality, though. Now we've got fucking Snoop Dog over here. only the well yeah you wonder I mean who knows drugs in

states that it's legal do they just give you like a gummy to help you go to sleep? I don't think so I don't think so wonder why not they want the inmates to be calm right this might

require a check-in on Angelo but in Wichita Falls police arrested an elderly man 79 years old booked into Wichita County Jail over the weekend charged with

solicitation of prostitution 79 years old Yeah Now here was his You're out there trying to get Get a hooker Way to go dude Yeah

It's weirder than that Although it's not children So you're safe This particular 79 year old man Had been sort of cruising shelters and like the areas where the unhoused hang out and asking if he could watch them or them watch him well i mean that's just bargain shopping and job creation yeah yeah

that's just going to your outlet store right there i know that sex crimes are bad is this a bad one. But I feel like if we were to hold this up on the scale of being either exploitative of the unhoused or the Lewis C.K. scale, those women weren't being paid at all. Yeah. Is there a world where we can accept this guy giving a Wichita Falls homeless guy outside of, you know, mission faith?

Like, look. I don't think it's that bad. You're not going to have to touch me. You just got to watch. Wonder what the rate was. And is it higher? Which way? Now, yeah, if he's offering five bucks.

Offering five bucks just to stand there while he does it. They would probably take that. That's a cravings box right there. Yeah, you get three tenders of biscuit and fries and the good times and Popeyes on the big box. Where do we go for him to watch you? I don't have a house. No, but dude, it's the streets behind a dumpster in a car. Like, this guy's, he's in a car.

That adds to it. And he's 79 in doing this. this yeah now the numbers go game day men's health keeping him rolling i hope he's been there yeah keeping that libido active and with his 10% discount he was offering them money yeah he would offer the victim 20 dollars to let the suspect massage him massage yeah but you would also just do 10 like he'd pay you 20 20 bucks the highest amount for him to Rugnet O'Dore you. There's a lot of...

He would do it to you. Yeah, there's a lot of traditional incentives that are inverted here. Uh-huh. You know? But, and I tell you, I didn't even know that really existed until Boogie Nights. That might have been my first interaction with...

That you would just watch someone hammer away? Yeah. At their wiener? You can't hammer a wiener, right? No, I think you have to hammer a hog. Yeah. So am I supposed to ask Angelou if he would take that?

Well, first of all, I just wanted to make sure he hadn't been to Wichita Falls recently. No, I don't think so. But if you tell him about this, he might head right up there. Yeah, no doubt. Yeah, it could be like Indeed.com. Blake, where's Farmersville? That's out by me, a little northeast of Wiley. Keep going up with 78.

Their nickname? Farmers. So weak. That is pretty give up. The Farmersville Fire Inspector, the longtime Farmersville Fire Inspector, lost her home to a fire over the weekend. Okay, could happen to anybody, I guess. It could, but...

It's like when wire will had an electrical fire. Right. I know. I was trying to think of what, you know, other examples of this that wouldn't be so dire, but, yeah, that's a tough one, man. I enjoyed... It was fun. I was listening to the news story about it, and they're like,

she didn't even take a day off work. I'm like, well, yeah, what do you think she does? Of course, she cares now. It's her house. Yeah.
