The Herd with Colin Cowherd - Show Me Something - Sophie Cunningham & West Wilson: Unhinged first dates, Summer House tea, Tom Brady rumors

Episode Date: January 17, 2026

The WNBA’s Sophie Cunningham and Bravo’s West Wilson kick things off with an aggressive iced coffee vs. hot coffee debate (because apparently hot drinks are a scam), and within minutes it turns into a full-on Kansas City Chiefs and Arrowhead dome meltdown that has West ready to throw up.From there, Sophie recaps the Sophie Cunningham Classic (packed gyms, elite hoops, big-time sponsors, and Columbia being dead when Mizzou isn’t in session), while also dealing with a suspicious combo of cold sore drama, mouth tape scars, and “toothpaste” evidence that the internet will absolutely not forgive. Then it’s rapid-fire pop culture and unhinged fun: ‘Summer House’ watch party news, Alix Earle and Tom Brady rumors, Arby’s Hot Girl of the Week goes to West’s mom (doctor cover shoot ICON), plus a viral list of “first date places women refuse to go” that sparks a heated debate… followed by appetizers-aren’t-for-sharing discourse, National Bagel Day rankings, and Joey Chestnut bagel-eating madness. To close it out, Hard Rock Bet brings the odds for the College Football Playoff Championship, and the crew makes their picks before signing off with one of their favorite episodes yet — and a call to get Becca Tilley on the pod. 00:00 - Start 1:00 - Hot vs Cold Coffee 5:00 - Cold football is the best 7:30 - KC Chiefs Rant continues 10:00 - Sophie’s mystery stains  12:00 - West’s Mouth tape scars 13:43 - Actual Sophie Cunningham Classic Recap  16:45 - SCC Future Schedule 18:00 - Do you like drinking? 20:00 - Lexi Hull Engaged… last year 21:00 - no CBA Progress WNBA  Negotiations 25:00 - Great ASW Indy 2025 Story  26:00 - West Wilson on liver detox27:30 - BRAVO WATCH PARTY 27:55 - West will be there! 31:00 - Alex Earle & Tom Brady Vacation 31:40 - Hot Girl Of The Week 35:40 - AD BREAK ARBYS 36:40 - Worst first date spots ranked! 41:50 - Appetizers meant to be shared?43:20 - TOP 5 BAGELS LIST 45:20 - Joey Chestnut DMed Sophie 46:20 - Jaylen Brown NBA Ref Beef! 51:16 - AD BREAK HARD ROCK BET 52:30 - NCAA FOOTBALL FINALS PREVIEW Get your Meat & 3 box at an Arby's near you today.

This is an IHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Hey guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas.

We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you.

you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and friends on the ice. Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Winning on Clay is an art. The rallies are relentless. And at the French Open, only the toughest survive. I'd know. I competed there for decades. Join me, Renee Stubbs, on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast for no-nonsense breakdowns of the biggest matches, the toughest players, and the moments that define Roland Garris. She can win.

She's an outsider to win the French fame. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lina Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any service. Listen to the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast on the IHart Radio app. Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHart Women's Sports. Will Ferrell's Big Money Players and IHart Podcasts presents soccer moms.

So I'm Leanne. Yeah. This is my best friend, Janet. Hey. And we have been joined at the hips since high school. Absolutely. A redacted amount of years later, we're still joined at the hip. Just a little bit bigger hips.

This is a podcast. We're recording it as we tailgate our youth soccer games in the back of my Honda with all the snacks and drinks. Why did you get hard seltzer instead of beer? Oh, they had a bogo. Well, then you got them. Listen to soccer moms on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So real quick, look at how my toothpaste got on me today.

Dude, okay, that's two in a row. You have a lip herpy and you have cum-ish-looking residue all over your hoodie. You're making all these excuses. It's toothpaste. It's shaft stick. You're a little freak. What are you doing in Houston? Sof, come on. Look at this white stuff on my shirt. My lips all fucking meat.

I realize that sounds so bad, but I promise you, when I went to go spit out my tooth face, this dipped in the water and then it was like going like that, you know? These high school girls were so excited to hear you talk about the Sophie Cunningham classic and like how well they'd, they date and you're just like, oh, look at me. Okay, okay, okay. I get my life together. We're back. What's up?

What's up, love bugs? It's me and Sophie, and we are back. This is episode 29. Ooh, shout out 29. Episode of the Show Me Something podcast brought to you by the wonderful men, women, children, High level, low level, part time, full-time employees at Arby's. What? Is it not like so cold in New York?

You know those days when you're like, it's not that bad. And then you turn a corner and the wind, the wind is like, jokes on you, you fucking idiot. Yeah. That happened to me this morning when I went to go get coffee. I was like, I was like, honestly, it's kind of chill out. And then the wind fucking took care of me. So you're an ice coffee guy regardless of the season. I can't drink hot stuff. You've met me. I just get sweaty. Like, it's not fun.

Even if you're cold outside. I've never in my life, unless it was an accident, ordered hot coffee. What about hot chocolate? No thanks. I don't, hot drinks. Hot drinks takes so long. Like, you order it, and then you can't drink it for 20 minutes. Seriously, like, if someone makes me like tea or something, I'm like, thanks, but like, all, Like, I'll see in 20 minutes when I can finally drink it. I think it's so, such a waste of time. That is actually hilarious. That's funny.

I was talking with my brother about this over Christmas and he was like, but it's nice because like, you can hold it in your hands and it warms you up, whatever. Like, cool. Congrats. Like, it doesn't do much. I prefer ice coffee, but I think when I'm cold, like a good, a good hot coffee. What city are you in currently? I'm in Houston.

Is it cold in Houston? Yeah, it's like 45 degrees. Dude, Sophie, you're going to Arizona too long, dog. Do you want to hear something? I- A Canadian right now is probably just laughing. Probably, but I will say, like, I'm not the only one. I was just back home in Missouri, went up to Indiana to work out for a little bit.

Then I came down here and someone was just out in Arizona. I was literally trying to explain this to them. And you guys are gonna think I'm crazy, but I promise you, even Joe, you know him. He's like, yeah, yeah. He knows all those types of weather things. It's like 65, 70 degrees in Arizona. And even he said he was like, but it's chilly.

And I was like, I'm trying to tell people like, you need sweats, a sweatshirt, and a jacket because it is chilly out in Arizona. I know that it says 65, 70, but I'm telling you it's a, it's a chilly version. So like 45 degrees, no, Thank you. It started snowing yesterday in my workout in Indiana. And I was like, all right, it's time to leave. But get it. Everyone needs one snow a year. No, but this was running away from the

snow. No, no, no. I'm not running away from the snow because if I want snow, I wanted to be like snow, like white. Yeah, no, I agree. Like flurries that were just like annoying. But like I really did kind of warm my heart because I was inside. But once I had to like walk, I was like, all right, F this. But if it was cold out, wouldn't you rather be cold in snow? then just fucking cold for no reason. Oh, yeah. Yeah, but that's, like, I don't even need to be here. To counter that point, there were days in Montana where it would, it would be 35 and it was,

you could wear a t-shirt because there's no humidity and the sun took care of a lot of like, whatever you're feeling. Yeah. And I do agree with you that like temperatures in different parts of the country hit way, way, way different. Well, even in Missouri, in Missouri, though, So remember like in high school, like even in college, like it was legit 30 degrees and people would be in shorts and like a sweatshirt. Like it's just different.

But I felt like cold. I feel like cold in Missouri like the same temperature in Missouri hits way worse than in Montana because we have that like wet cold in the winter and it makes your fingers hurt and your face hurts and your nose hurts and you're just like, oh god. Well, good thing that the the chiefs are building an indoor stadium where now you don't even have to worry about it. I will I will tell I will do it again. I don't think I talked about this that much last time, but football should be played inside. The fact that they're moving inside to me, I talked about how they shouldn't leave Arrowhead,

but building a dome, what the I just like, wussies, it's so fucking lame. Outdoors. It's so whack. I keep seeing all these, everything on Twitter and Instagram and TikTok.

And you see like, slow motion and Andy Reed's, Andy Reid's mustache has icicles and Mahomes breathing and you see the breath and everyone's in their coats and everyone's hugging and there's weather. To think that we would play a playoff game and a team's going to come in and get a warm, a warm, cozy arrowhead when they're visiting, like. You lose your advantage. Dude, people get louder. They're active. You get drunker when it's cold on purpose. You're louder. you're more active, you stand up.

Like, well, maybe we'll dedicate a whole podcast to me just doing this. And I'm sorry, we're only, we're five minutes in. And I'm, and Sophie, Sophie knew that this would happen. But why she triggered me. I love it. Football should never be, name, okay, football, it's kind of getting corporate, like the NFL. Name a cool college environment that people really rave about that's inside.

Fucking none of them. Wait, not a single one. Are any college football teams inside? Syracuse, actually the big, conference has like three. The who? The conference at Montana States. Oh, he's played in Dome.

My bad, I didn't hear you. Idaho plays in a dome. Syracuse plays in a dome. No one in Colorado. No one, I'm trying to think of the North Dakota. All the Dakota schools except South Dakota do. So North Dakota states in a dome, but nothing like, it's just so whack to me.

It's so whack. I just think, like, I'm not even just saying this. Yeah, I think that like, that is part of the sport that you choose. You know what I mean? Like, you know that. Yeah. Like, I think, who was it? Like, North Carolina and Duke or someone played basketball on a ship one year and they're like,

all right, that was, but like that will never happen again. That's how football is. Like, I get it. But like, you totally lose your competitive advantage. Like, down in the South is fucking hot. People who are like from the North, they struggle with that. And then vice versa. when they go up and playing snow, like, that is the advantage.

I don't get why people are trying to take that away. It's because of money. Like, it's all money. And I watched this stuff the other day. And it was, obviously it was Clark Hunt. And then there's a guy named Mark Donovan who like is a big part of like the franchise. But basically they're like, this is like for the fans. It's the fans experience.

And I'm like, just shut the fuck up and say that like you're going to make more money and you had to pay less to do the shit in Kansas like quit saying that this. This benefits us. No one wants to play inside. It's so lame. Dude, I'm so lame. And the chiefs are also not some like little pansy team that has like no history. They're new.

You move them into a dome. No one cares. They are like so historically involved with the NFL. And like they're just such a staple that to think that this team now is going to be a dome team makes me want to fucking throw up. And I don't want to talk about this whole podcast. I'm sorry. but like holy shit well I've heard the amount of people in the Midwest

who are friends of the Chiefs I'm not kidding and I'm sure that they'll be fine because like it is still the Chiefs but so many people are not renewing their tickets my dad probably won't it's it I like I don't think my dad's gonna one you it's just like not Arrowhead yeah that sucks two

that's kind of like six years from now I think that'll like I don't want to say anything knock on wood, but like the Mahomes era will sort of be he won't be retired in six years, but it won't be what it is right now. It's kind of like that will be, I think, a big like turning chapters, you know. Yeah. And then too, at least for anyone on the Missouri side, like my dad, it adds 45 minutes to his drive there and back. And like, I don't think my, I don't know, my dad's going to be like 60 then.

I don't think my dad wants to add an extra hour and a half to every fucking Sunday. No, I know, but I just don't think he is like, oh, this is cool. Let me just drive another extra. No, I know. And add an hour to my day. How is Bruce? 56 or 7 or something. Oh, oh.

I was like, damn, Bruce. No, no, he's in his 50s, but by, but like by that time. Yeah. No, I got what you mean. And imagine like, Airweds convenient if you're on the Missouri side because it's on the east side. You don't have to go through downtown and whatever. Yep. So now he would have to go drive through downtown on a game day, which I doubt's going to be fun.

And then all the way to this new place and wherever the fuck hands is. And then do it all the way home. Yeah. Downtown's in general and any type of event is just horrible. So that just sucks. I'm so glad that I ruffled your feathers. Fuck. Yeah.

I'm awake now. Sorry, guys. Anyways, this will happen like 100 more times. We got six years to keep talking about this. Um, Sophie, the Sophie Cunningham classic looks lovely. Dude. Um, are you tired or what did, was it, uh, did it fill you with, with fucking energy? No, it was, it was kind of actually this year, it was a lot more energy than not because we just had great people running it.

But I did. I'm telling you, I used someone's chapstick and I got a herpy. I have herpes. I couldn't, I couldn't see it. I couldn't see it. And then you, it just. now it's so there. Fuck.

So don't kiss me. I will say don't blame it on someone's chapstick. It's okay. I don't care. I don't care, but do you want to know something funny? I'm not kidding. Like, I think the mixture of like the change in, I'm so up in everyone's screen if they're watching this.

Yeah. For our listening audience, Sophie is two inches from the camera. Just about to pop a fucking, A lipper right on us. No. So what it is, every time I go into different climates, my lips gets so dry. And for some reason, I always get a cold sore. That sucks.

I'm sorry. Yeah, but I also like drank after a bunch of people and used a bunch of people's chapstick. Huh. Does it hurt? I didn't miss anybody. Say what? Does it hurt? Does it hurt?

No. Well, sometimes it hurts. Sometimes they kind of like. Yeah. sometimes they hurt do you have herpes too no what i right before bravo con i mouth taped like the week before you're a mouth tape when you sleep fuck no dude and and i and i ripped the shit off in the morning and it pulled all the skin off my lip right here yeah and i was like ow fuck and then it obviously scabbed yeah and i was like mother okay but all the girls i asked i said just aquifer aquifer

for out for and it'll and you'll go away in like 48 hours. It's fine, but listen to this. So real quick, look at how my toothpaste got on me today. Dude, okay, that's two in a row. You have a lip herpy and you have cum-ish looking residue all over your hoodie. You're making all these excuses. It's toothpaste, it's shaft stick. You're a little freak.

What are you doing in Houston? Sof, come on. Look at this white stuff on my shirt, my lips all fucking meat. That sounds so bad, but I promise you, when I went to go spit out my tooth face, this dipped in the water and then it was like going like that, you know. These high school girls were so excited to hear you talk about the Sophie Cunningham Classic and like how well they did and you're just like, oh, look at me. Okay, okay, okay.

I'll get my life together. Okay. So the class. Does a school win? No. Is there a winner? No. It's just like a guy.

So what it is, it's literally 32 games. And it counts to like everyone's record. But we had so many people. We had a team from New York come up and they were really, really good. They're like fourth in the nation. But we had like, I probably watched the best high school basketball game men or women that I've ever seen. at and I'm not just saying this so many people will say this gym was packed it was so cool it was like incarnate word that's yeah yeah yeah but current words always been so good yeah yeah but it really was it was so much fun and

the girls like the the the sweatshirts the everything off the court was just so elite this year and like it really was peaceful the gym was packed the food was good um oh speaking of that have you ever heard of blue hog barbecue no Is it Columbia? Yeah. Oh, I wonder if my dad knows. Let me see. He'd have to.

This is what it looks like. They gave me like this huge. Dude, blues hog, yes. What did I say? I said blue hog. He said blue hog.

Yeah, blues hog. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's like my brother's favorite barbecue. They used to have it at Buckinghams

over by Rock Bridge. Yeah. They used to have their their barbecue like on that like rack where you could just go grab your own, like local barbells. They like brought food. for everyone and they gave me like this huge thing like massive just full of like meat sticks oh yeah yeah i've eaten this whole thing oh my god it's so good but overall the classic was a total

hit it was uh it was just like the best year yet and it was so fun and i had like all my agents and stuff and like people from arby's were there um people from like pepsi and like all these people were there and I, you know, people are from New York, people are from Vegas, Philly, L.A., Virginia, and they all came to Columbia to like, you know. That's sick. They, hell yeah. What to put on, dog. Yeah, but a couple people went to booches.

But what I, what I think is so funny is like, the class, like, school's on session or anything. And so after Friday and Saturday, we tried to just like find places to go. Everything is completely dead. And so we went to the roof one night. And then I took him to Tap House and Tap House was solid. Like it was just a very chill, cool, typical. You can like, I mean, downtown Columbia, you could still bop and like back and forth.

But like it depends what your objective is, I guess. No, not, not this past weekend. It was horrible. Just because kids aren't in school. Yeah, it was bad. That's okay. Yeah. But, um, but it was fun.

It was good. Yeah. Uh, that's what makes Columbia great though, is that it is a college town. And would you ever bump it like the classic forward a little so that it happens while students are there and then Columbia is like a little bit more juicy? For sure. I think like we always pick the day depending on my schedule and now doing Project B. Like I have to, I don't even know my schedule yet. So I'm sure it will like vary. But of course like it I think it'd be more fun for people just like see the environment. of Columbia when when missou is in session because it really is so fun um yeah but we'll totally see and then i went from there up to indiana worked out for three days and like i'm on i think i'm i think i'm about to die actually i think my throat was bleeding oh i think i'm really going through it

yeah yeah dude chill out for a sec because the chiefs aren't in i'm not flying home for chiefs games this is i always i always keep january fucking blank so that i can go home for chiefs games um obviously not doing that now i just i told kev before you got on this is the most i've rested in two years probably i haven't drank in eight days i am like eating clean i'm working out like i'm sleeping eight hours like not to like rub it in your face no i just this is good right now can we talk about that real quick do do you kind of like not drinking Yeah, you feel good. Like you feel like you're it's nice to know you don't need to drink. Well, yeah. Yeah. Um, yeah, but I also like, I'm not like a fucking weiner when I do drink anyways. Like I can it doesn't like affect my like I wake up. I'm not a pussy and then I go handle business. But. Um, I do think I'm someone who like, um, like I'm easier all in all out. So like for me because I'm not drinking right now and. And.

then I'm also like eating healthier. I'm like, I feel bad if I don't work out. Like yeah, it's easier to like do everything else that's healthy when you wake up fresh and like you have the whole day. Do you know what I'm saying? No, a thousand percent because that's how I feel. Because like, and really like when you go out and drink and stuff like it, like you're having fun. It's a good time with your friends. But like the next day you do feel like depending on what your workout and shit is.

But I haven't been drinking lately and I feel so good. Like I'm waking up. earlier. You know what I mean? Like I'm going to bed earlier. Or no, that's not true. But I am waking up earlier. It feels like you do you objectively sleep better when you don't have alcohol on your system. I remember my mom told me this. It was like you think that like a night like a nightcap and you go home and sleep hard because you were drinking, but your body doesn't actually like heal itself the way that it normally would when it's filtering booze out of like your whole body. I was going to ask you how the fever girls are.

But guess who it popped up on my Instagram because we're Instagram friends. Who? Oh. Lexi Hole engaged. Let's go Lexi. Nice. Wes, she got engaged like a year ago. Why did it? Fuck. Why did it just hit my, why did it just hit my IG?

Were you stalking her? No. Wait, guys, what? Who got engaged? Lexi got engaged like before season of last year, like a month or two before season. in. Oh, dude, it's her fucking, it's her fiance's, it was her birthday, his birthday. That's so embarrassing.

Oh my God. I wanted to bring, I wanted to bring like fever energy to the pod way and I just blew it. There, well, dude, there is, there is like no, you dumbass. I was like, I did not know where you're going because of that, but normally, you know, like when you stop people and stuff, then you see more and more of them. Yeah, yeah. Maybe I was like. No, it was a birthday post for Hermann's.

And the second picture is like an engagement picture. And I was like, oh, my God, engaged. That's awesome. Yeah. Sick. Me and Cindy Colson were the only ones there this past week because. Everyone's doing unrivaled. That and like our CBA is so dumb right now that like it's heading toward the lockout.

So. Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, new? Huge news. We created our own podcast called Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast?

Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a... We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how did we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Oh, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band.

Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.

But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis, and I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on Clay. Jen she went. I mean, she went down at three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted.

She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lena Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. So no progress. No. Like just nothing. Honestly, nothing. We get like weekly emails from like the, the PA side of things. And it's just like, it's just so dumb. Yeah.

Dumb, dumb, dumb. Okay, but I will be up there next week for some stuff. And so I think. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I think that would be really fun. Yeah, yeah. I had to hang out. We need to do like more than just our little pod.

Um, Kev, what days are live shoot? I got to put it in my picture calendar. 20. You know how I stay organized, Sof? Kelly told me. Yeah, it's really cute. I put a calendar into Photoshop. Let me see. And I just add and I just add pictures. I don't know how to like show you from here. Do you have it on your phone? Wait, yeah, I'll just send like this. And like if you're in town, I'm just going to put a picture of your face. All right, you can't share this because some of these things are like, I'm not, but I'm texting you

these as we speak. What do you mean you can't share this? Well, I mean like some stuff is like, you know, whatever. Oh, I thought. I don't know what we were talking about. So like this is what I do. I just put picture and then like I just remember. Yeah, I just remember shit when there's like pictures in a cat like in a visual calendar and then I know what's going on. So that's how your brain works. That's good. Yeah. Like a birthday, my friend's, but I put my friend's picture on on the 24th. I actually really like that. But how do you do that? Just you just go to Google and you find like the logo of whatever you're doing that day and then I just put it in the date. Oh, I'm excited for some of your stuff. Yeah. I don't know what's like

what I'm like allowed to say not say but well I want to know super bowl. Um, are you are you? I think I think that I might go the fourth and fifth. Okay. But I also am going to going to NBA All-Star. And that's in LA this year, yeah. Are you doing All-Star stuff? I would be for complex if I went. I don't think I have anything like me specifically related. I would maybe be like a work thing.

I went to the office on Tuesday. What office? The MBA? No complex. I went to work. Oh, really? Yeah. Isn't that nice?

Yeah. Wait, can we talk about real quick? No, so three years ago, NBA All-Star was in Indiana. And we might have talked about this. Yeah. We might have talked about this in like one of our other episodes. I'm not for sure.

But I was there for like doing broadcasting stuff for E. And then West was there for Complex, right? Yeah. And we that was the coldest day I've ever been alive. So first of all, everyone who's in Indiana. It was not, it was supposed to be like kind of nice. And all of a sudden it just snowed like a foot. Like it was insane and it was so, so cold.

No one had clothes. It was icy. It was, the traffic was horrible. But West was there and you get to interview the All-Stars, right? So like the East side came in, the West side came in before they all compete and whatnot. And I got on West's shoulders to get like players' attentions to ask them a question. And there was, I think it was Damien Lillard. He just had a really long answer or something.

Yeah, yeah, dude. You also couldn't get that you were like, oh, but sorry. And I was like, Sophie, I was like, get this fucking question off. So I'm gonna die. That's so funny though. So we were all dressed in like sweats and hoodies and, you know, West sweats anyway, but I'm not petite. And I got on his shoulders and I looked down and I couldn't get Dame and I looked down. And West is on a like full on sweat, shaking his face is red and he's like,

there's a fucking question. And so I'm like, the last I was like, I was like, Damien. And so then I got it. And then like, West let me down immediately. And he goes, I think I just set my new PR. It was. Dude, to like set this scene. So you like for work, we usually get like I had a, I actually had a Damien Lillard interview like an hour after that.

But for scrums are like, it's when all these players sit in. And then it's just media like talking over each other to answer questions. And it's kind of like, it's just kind of weird. And like, you don't want to like. interrupt other people and be annoying. It's just like a weird place to be. So I was like, I think like Sophie's around here and like we know like, Sophie was playing for the Mercury then and we were like,

honestly, let's just try something. So I put Sophie on my shoulders to like just be like this cute blonde who was like nine feet tall just in the middle of all these reporters and ask everyone questions. And I think it was like who would win a three point contest or something. But we made a little video out of it and it was pretty cute. But but I was dying. Dying. Like I'm telling you like,

Legs for shaking. He was as red as like the little logo on his hat right there. Like it was funny as shit. Yeah, that was good. That was good. Wait, what's going on in your world? Like, are you, like, what are you doing? Chilling.

Like, I literally, like, January is, I am, I am like so thankful. Good. I've literally gone to bed. I've slept for eight hours the last week. Dude, what a way to start the new year, though. No, yeah, yeah. I'm doing a little liver. reset and I'm going to get healthy. I might even get abs before February. Like the world is

mine. What's a what's a liver reset? Like not like because I'm not drinking. I'm just going to let it like heal itself fully. Like I'm not even doing like sips of anything. You're going to need it more than eight days getting the full spa treatment. I'm going to go till the end of the month. You're doing dry January. No see I don't say dry January so pick me and annoying and I would never say that. Okay. And I also drank in Nashville for the Montana State Championship. But because my schedule is bleak, I am like, I can kind of hibernate and just chill and it's beautiful. Wait, so while you're doing this, are you like having friends come over and still hanging out? Are you like literally just being a little lonesome wolf?

It's easier to like not go out in my opinion. In the Bravo world, is there like anything like fun coming up? There's a watch party for our first episode, which you know what's fucking crazy? Something. What? We are just over two weeks away, just under three weeks away. Dude, I'm so fucking excited for this. Seriously.

No. Like, I just want to know. I just want to know and start watching it. Yeah. It just one week of time. It's a lot of episodes. But I think they're doing a watch. party a full week before.

And I think a few of us go and like... When is it? January 27th. It's sold out in like three minutes. I'm going. Jesse's going. So that's a full week before it's ticketed. Again, it's sold out.

It's like I'm not even promoing it because it's already full. But I guess people get to see the first episode before it comes out. And first episodes, I don't even feel like you can get real drama out of a first episode, you know? Because it's so many, like, you're like meeting people and it's everyone is on Like, actually, who am I fucking kidding? There was, I was drama the first one last time because my hug got fucking stiff-armed. And I was, and it was awkward and weird.

Yeah, yeah. But that's what I'm saying. I don't know. It doesn't even have to be drama, but it does like kind of leave you like, okay, what's, like, what's going to happen? Who's going to, like, do what? Like, yeah, you get a feel for like dynamic and like, uh, just vibes and like everyone's in the house.

So it's a good start. I like our show so much better than other shows because it's just so, it's so organic to me that like it's not all these forced things it's truly summer everyone goes to a house for the weekend fucking hangs around like everyone does that anyways yeah it just is i'm very thankful to be on a show that is as like organic and natural of a reality shows you could ever do wait what i was going to tell you is when do you film like when do you start like in like on the calendar year july fourth weekend to whichever one of the holidays is the ending of summer labor day or labor day when is that is that in september

it's like the end of august i think so it's like eight weeks okay listen to this because this year if we have a league we have a two-week break because of like euro cup or whatever and i was like what if i can oh those weekends and wait do you mean the do you mean the do you mean the world World Cup? No. Euro Cup. It's like, it's like, I don't even know what it is. It's like some worlds for Euro League, whatever. So like all the Europeans in our league, they go. And normally you continue to play. But this year, they like, I guess we're taking a break. It's like Olympic break, but for the EuroLeague. Huh. But I have like two weeks off and I was like, how fun if that is finally my time to come meet all your castmates. Could you imagine the WNBA would be so mad at you, but you can do whatever you want, right?

What's new? Nothing. Just fine for going on a TV show without their approval. Yeah. It's so dumb. But that would be fun. It's also the Hamptons is like a bitch to get to. Really?

I mean, I'd make sure you like had it under control. But you like, you fly to New York and then you either take a train or a car like way the fuck out there. Is there not an airport? If you have like big, big bread, I'm sure you could fly out there. But I don't know anyone who does it. it. Hmm. It's like sea planes and shit.

I don't know. I don't know why this, that thought, I don't know, because she was up there, I guess, or you were to last year, but what, did you see like Alex Earl and Tom Brady? Yeah. What happened? I mean, I don't know what happened, but I like, she was like rubbing his back and stuff. Do we think something happened? Kudos to both.

Dude, I'm not dissing it. I just want to know the tea. It looked like a fun time. I didn't really do anything. for this new year's, but I saw other people do it and it looked fun. I was chilling with fucking Paula. So I was- Oh, yeah.

Goopy. Is it, is it Arby's Hot Girl of the Week time? I think so. Do you have one on your mind? I have one. Go for it. Are you sure? Yeah, girl, or boy.

Oops. That's okay. I'm not mad. Guys, my freaking hot girl of the week is my sweet mother, Dr. Elizabeth Wilson for being on the cover of Boone Health magazine. Pick up your copies probably around Columbia, Missouri. I can't get it to focus. But look at cute little, like, she got her cute little scrubs on her doctor outfit.

She is cute. It says restoring vitality. Elizabeth Wilson, MD OBGYN, explains hormone replacement. therapy and how it's restoring cellular function and improving quality of life for women. And they gave her little cover shoot. And so that is my motherfucking hot girl of the week is Dr. Dr. Mom.

Dude, I like that. That's actually fantastic. You gotta get it, maybe I should, maybe I'll get her to sign one. Send it over. Yes, you should. Oh my God. That'd be awesome. Also the caption below.

Yeah, cover photo, dude. Please send me your color. Yeah. Relax. You're married and so is she. Oh, yeah. What do you mean? Kev?

Cold, cold sores white stains. Okay. Guys, it really is toothpaste. Also, page eight is why won't the weight come off if anyone is curious about page eight. So there's that. So that's, I don't like, Mom is page 16. Send page eight to Kev. So shout out Mama.

So shout out Mama. That's Hot Girl of the Week. Arby's Hot Girl of the Week. Let's go. I love that. Okay. So mine is very random. But I think it's awesome.

So I have become more social media friends with her than like anything, but I want to hang out with her. Becca Tilly. Okay. Do you know who that is? Look her up. No, but. Yeah, look her up. Was she on The Bachelor?

Yeah. I think so. Okay. Okay, Hot Girl the Week, Becca. What's up, Becca? Okay, so she's just, like, so cute and just, like, so fun. And she travels around with her, I think they're her fiancee now, because they're not married yet. But she's married to a woman?

Is she engaged to a woman? Mm-hmm. Yep. But, but what? What? No, I just, all the pictures were like originally with this bachelor guy and then I started seeing a bunch of her with one specific lady. And so that makes sense. Yeah.

She's so, so cute. And I just feel like she's like a funny vibe in there. I don't know. But I'm giving her a hot girl of the week only because I was like going through her store or whatever. And she like doesn't even look like it. But I think she's a hooper. She was like playing pickup and she was like, hitting threes, driving to the rim.

And I was like, dude, that needs to be like known a little more. She proposed in Japan. Yeah. Fucking rocks. Well, because that's where her, that's where her fiancee, I think has family there and is from maybe. Okay. But they're just like always traveling and I don't know. She just seems like a really nice human and so I'm gonna give it to her That's cute. Have you guys exchanged like what are you guys just like hearting each other's Instagram stories? No, she she So like on her story right now go to her her Instagram story

Yeah, if you guys can see it like look up. Oh, she is hooping. Yeah, I was like I was like I was like you're I know I think she's I think she's a lefty I It looks like it. And so then I was like, girl, what? And I was like, I knew you were Hooper. And she goes, oh my gosh, like help me. What shoes do I need? So I'm going to send her some Adidas basketball shoes.

Can you send me some after Becca? You get them first, but I still need a pair. I will throw out all my basketball shoes if I can just get a pair from you. Okay, cool. Some of your size. That is an unexpected hot girl the week, but it rocks. Yeah. No, I know.

But I just want to do it. Shut up. Shut up Becca. Okay, everybody. Arbys just pulled up with something. so serious and they definitely understood the assignment. For real, this new meat in three boxes putting in work for $7.99. Okay, so this is how it goes. You pick your sandwich,

so you either get a classic roast beef or a crispy chicken, but both are solid choices and there's no wrong answers here. And then it's like, oh, you thought we were done? No. Mozilla sticks, curly fries, and a peach cobbler roll, it's elite. I'm being so serious right now, that peach cobbler roll, quietly carrying the whole box, absolutely the star of the show. Plus, you get a drink. They're calling this the meat and three,

but math-wise, you're leaving with five things. Five items for $7.99. And this isn't one of those meals where you're hungry again in an hour. This actually fills you up. Or you can share some of these, classic Garby's favorites, stuff you can't get anywhere else.

So whether it's lunch, a post-workout grab, or you just want food that really hits? The meat in three boxes got you covered. Sick. Kev, pop culture, fucking feed us, dog. So, dudes. I got headlines.

Shout out complex for this first one. They did a survey. List of places women refused to go on our first date. So it's somewhat controversial. Oh, it's like actually. They're a little survey here. So some familiar names on here. Cheesecake factory.

Chili's. I'm not going to lie. My first date was Chili's. Olive Garden. This is a Kev, was it? Oh, it's favorite. Yeah, you got to start low. Kevin, your family owns a whole bunch of nice restaurants in New York.

Do better. It was first eight. And then the next you get bigger and better from there. Wells is on here. Places of the women won't go. Denny's, the gym. First off, I have obviously have to chime in here. Buffalo Wild Wings, great place for a first aid.

Great staff. And if you don't want to eat wings, there's a lot on the menu to kind of deviate. But I think eating wings with someone on a first date breaks down barriers. Oh, but that's balzy. I don't think a lot of females would do that. If I'm booking it, you're coming. No, but I'm saying, I don't think they're going to be getting like your traditional wing.

I think they would get like a boneless or like a moss stick. Okay, but I still think. Yeah, and then you see, like I want to know if the girl I'm going to first date with, if she gets, if she gets honey barbecue, you're too boring for me. If she kind of, if she steps it up and does a little spicy garlic, maybe a hot barbecue, maybe a Nashville hot, I can tell she's like, she has it. to go the distance. Guys, if you really look at this list,

this is, who even, who, what females are these? Because this is not, these are your typical first date places. Oh, also Waffle House is on here. That's fucking crazy. Let's go to Waffle House. I know, but look, also,

coffee date, ice cream date, movie night, bowling, a hookabar, a bar versus drinks. If 18, which is coffee dates, and, and 26, a bar, for drinks are on the same list. Where the fuck do you guys want to go? That's what I'm saying is like I don't agree with this. No, me neither.

28 is like a lot of things. Dude, look at the comments. Look at Walmart. You know who's not on here though. Shout out Manuel Watkins. Manuel Watkins, big wig at Walmart. Rick Ross way did. He said, I cancel every date with each and every woman who approves this nonsense.

Rick Ross, aka 10 piece, lemon pepper all flats. pepper all flats. Yeah, let's go, Rick. Yeah. This is, this is dumb.

I want to know what women these are because this is not right. Cheesecake Factory, honestly, it's like more of a, it's like, it's a stigma with cheesecake factory.

It's like in songs and like people always like tease about going there, but. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers and guess what? We have some big news.

What's the news? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a...

We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Oh, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was...

This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing. a bit for the podcast where people could call in and say, Hey Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

I'm Renee Stubbs. And on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on clay. Genschen went.

Yeah, dude, of course you would. Shut up, Kev. I can't believe.

Are you did chilies or Cheesecake Factory? It was Chili's. It was Bristol, Connecticut, okay? There's not a lot of places around ESPN. This is the timing place. I'm trying to give Chili's some more context. You know what? We probably got the sampler.

Okay, I did it big. We got the sampler. The cheese stick. Can I just say, though, guys? I think I'm more type of a girl where instead of going to like mainstream chain restaurant, like, if you would have taken me to like a local kind of dive bar or dive place in Connecticut,

that would have said more about you than this typical Applebee's Chili's cheese state. Connecticut's not like a like a dive bar capital of the world. Connecticut sucks. I do want people who are listening and not watching to know that this list of where not to take women, these are all on the same list. So like where the fuck do you go? The movies, your house, coffee date or bar for, for drinks, drinks. So what the fuck? Where can what can dudes do? Yeah. What's,

Hey, dude, they also have on their bowling sports events. I'd rather cut my nuts off than go bowling if we're being totally honest. But I'm just saying like gives you something to do. I actually, I don't mind bowling. Like, or go to a sporting event. Like, I don't, this is weird to me. I think the only thing that I wouldn't do that I do agree. Somewhere that requires a long drive. Well, I don't mind a long drive, but also family function on the first day. That's the one. No, no. I can agree with that. I wouldn't do that. How do you guys feel about coffee dates?

I feel like people do it all the time. I'm not. I'm not into it. But I think the reason you go to get drinks is to kind of like lower your walls a little and to just be vulnerable and it's like kind of cozy. Coffee dates, the sun's out bright as shit and you're like just making yourself more anxious. And like you're going to have to take a dump like at some point. Like I just don't coffee dates are crazy to me. It's just so intense in the middle of the day.

Yeah, but what- And the romantic part of it or like the lust part of it is also gone because you're probably not going to like go home after. Yeah, but maybe not everyone wants to have sex on the first date. I didn't mean that. Okay. Oh, damn it. Anyways, Kev, keep it moving. That was that was like male thing. And I had a- So this and this could be a date question. This could be bigger than that.

But hot take here. Bravo's top chef Tom Colicchio. He says appetizers are not meant to be shared. So your guys take on that. I don't believe that. I think appetizers are for the table. I've noticed maybe it's a New York thing. Maybe it's an age thing.

Maybe it's just a trendy thing. The more I go out to eat with groups, home style is, or like, excuse me, family style has been more prominent in the last few years than ever before. Maybe that's just people aren't like super nitpicky with like, I paid for this. Like, let me eat it because everyone's like kind of growing up and has a little more money.

But like, I would say everything is shared almost at this point. Like obviously, if you go to Steakhouse, you order your steak, you want your steak. That's different. I want to try stuff. Yeah. So this is this is part of Tom's like debate. He's like, you want to share stuff, but like you only like one app. And by the time you get it, you just get like the smear of the sauce and like a little cornmeal bite. You can say it about anything at life. It's how you look at anything like that then order more of that app. Yeah, you fucking dork. Yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't, we're not absurd to be shared.

We don't want to eat at Tom's table. All right, sorry, Tom, you're, you're kicked out of here. All right, moving on here. More food. Maybe I was hungry when I was doing this rundown. I don't know, guys. Hey, page eight, West. Yeah.

Bro, that's the second time. That's the second time Sophie's brought up page eight. West brought up the article. I feel you guys are trying to tell me something. All right. You're like this, dude. You're a stick. But, all right, maybe not after these bagels.

So today's national bagel day, woohoo. 40% of the USA eats bagels at least once a week. Here's their top five rankings. Let me know what you guys think. Like this. Number one, number one plane. Number two, Asiaga. Yep.

Number three, number three is everything. Number four is a six cheese. And number five's cheddar jalapeno. So very, very cheesy choices here. Dude, I'm all for all those. I think what I would add it in there because sometimes I'm craving like more of a sweet is like the cinnamon twist. Cinnamon, cinnamon. Cinnamon. Cinnamon.

Cinnamon, yeah. Yeah, I thought was a huge, huge. I go two. I go two or three cinnamon raisin, honestly. Yeah. I don't think that you have two, two cheese bagels in the top five. They're like,

they're like first cousins. I separate. Really? You have three. You have Osceago, six, and jalapino cheddar. Yeah,

okay. But I mean, still a fine list. And plain is, I get it. I don't like that. I don't like that. I don't order plain,

but like plane is the, is the, golden standard of like if a bagel's good it's good plain you know what I'm saying so like a good bagel shop in New York City like you're gonna be able to test how good of quality that bagel is if it's plain rather than all the bells and whistles that you would get to like maybe cover up your lack of quality bagel I agree with that but I will say I am someone who always has to have a type of cream cheese on my bagel like I don't do the butter I don't do the peanut butter or the jelly I need like some type of cream cheese and they have gotten some there are some really really

really yummy cream cheeses out there. Mm-hmm. Games changed. Games changed as we were kids. Blueberry cream cheese, scalyam cream cheese. Yes, vegetable. I'm a sweet guy, actually. I'm gonna go blueberry some of it, some like that.

Oh, that's nice. Fine list. I'm okay with it. Also, who is in a kitchen right now? I'm in the office. So kitchen plugs in our life. It's Andrea, actually. Oh, you know very well.

Hello. I'll tell her, keep it down. Oh, so last bagel related topic here. So at the end of the month, in Vegas, the World Bagel Eating Championship. I'm sure you guys already know, very invested. Joey Chestlut holds the record for 15 bagels with cream cheese in eight minutes.

How many bagels do you guys do you guys? I think I can eat in eight minutes. I think I could do 10. Wait, guys, I have something to admit. What's his, what's his Instagram? Stop, Joey Chestnut. What the fuck you've had to say so?

He followed me, like a couple months back. And I might have been out with, friends and drinking and I saw it. And I was like, Larry D. Hind and I said, you were my childhood hero. That's amazing. Yeah. And he said da-da-da-da-na. He was just like, thanks. Like, I'll be bringing for you in the fever.

Dominate, bring home the championship to Indiana. Is he from Indiana or does he live there? Kev. Let's ask. Let's ask the good folks over at chat, but I'm such a dwee. Because guys, remember how many hot dogs he ate? Like, I wanted to be in a food eating competition. He probably has a permanent resident in

Coney Island. Oh. Well, he lived in Cali now. Where was? Maybe he's just fever fans. Because he literally said, he said, that's awesome. Thank you. I'll be reading for you in the fever to dominate and bring a championship to Indiana next

year. So when he said that, I was like, oh, maybe he lives in Indiana? Nope, he's born and raised in Cali. I didn't know they bred eaters like that. That's cool. I know some eaters from Cali, boy. Ooh. All right, I got one more headline for you here.

This one comes from the NBA world, back of this. sports. Jalen Brown recently went off on the refs. He begged for the fine. He said, give me a fine after night where he wins the line only once. The NBA obliged. They did find him $350,000. So, listen to that. 35,000. Yeah, not $350,000. Got check here. Good fact, that guys. So what's your reaction to this? All right. I, I'm just, I feel very validating. because not that I need that, but the amount of guys, players, the amount of coaches, the amount of people associated with the NBA are also saying that refs are at an all-time low. And like people who like no ball and stuff like that, they look at the W side and like,

dude, like you guys like that, it's bad. Like it's really bad. And so now you're kind of seeing like the NBA and it's not great either. And so for like one of the best players who like arguably could be an MVP in the NBA, like for him to say something that that says, you know, you know, that I was right. And so I feel fine. I hate that his fine was $35,000 and ours and the W is around 200. But you know, he makes a lot more money than me.

Dude, I know. Did he ask for the fine on the floor or was it post game? Post game. Dude, but it is ridiculous. Like it is like the inconsistency is crazy. And I know that their job is freaking hard. But at the end of the day, they, you need to invest in people and in, um, certain things that make basketball so elite.

And that is the reps. So if you pay them more, they're more invested. They don't have to work other jobs. They're more refreshed to do the MBA or the WMBA. So it all comes down yet again to money and investing in a good product. And so I feel for these people like I truly do feel for refs because I'm I know that their schedule sucks. They're year round.

Like, I get it. So if the leagues were just to pay them more, then they wouldn't have to be working five other conferences and they could just be focused on a pro ref being a pro ref. It's not that hard. Did you know that professional refs? I think at least in the NFL, you have to have,

you have to make so much money or have so much net worth in assets because they don't want refs to ever be a need to, like, fix games to like make money on the side so like every every professional ref has essentially like very good income or like lots of money um anyways and i'm trying to think of any other occupation where they would like where your your net worth outside of the job like matters and that's one of them because they don't want people that would that would money and throw games that would a hundred percent make sense but like these leagues are like they they don't they shouldn't even have to go to outside sources like these leagues should pay them enough money where they're like hey i am proud

to be an NBA ref i'm i'm proud to be a wmba ref this is what i get paid like this is what i do this is what i love because at the end of the day they do love their job but i'm not kidding i was watching um a college basketball game the other day and it was a wmba crew and i'm like oh fuck like let me if we want to wait but if we want to talk about like why there's probably a shortage of refs, at least fucking, I would imagine anyone starts refting at a smaller scale and you work your way up. Dude, dealing with fucking parents today would be a fucking nightmare. Dealing with entitled kids who like, dude, have you seen all these clips of these little

kids who are miced up and they're in fifth grade playing sports? No. I hate it. It's cooked. No, it's so bad. No, I hate where social media, where NIL, we're the Transom Portal, where we're all. where all of this is taking sports. It's taking away the purity.

It is taking away the levels of sports. Like, I fucking hate it. And there are pros to it. Don't get me wrong. I'm not dumb. I know there's pros to that type of step, but there's also way more negatives. And everyone's worried about that.

No, go learn how to fucking work hard. Go learn how to be the ultimate competitor, to be a great teammate, to have discipline. Like, stop worrying about your social media bullshit. You're fucking five years old. I hate it. And it's mainly the parents, idiots. All right, that's all I have to say.

Hardrock Bed has brought us our odds. Indiana, Kev just zoomed out so I can't fucking read it, but they, it looks like 8.5 from the nine miles away that I'm reading this. Yeah. Is that 8.5 point favorites? Okay. I personally, I think it would be fun for Miami to win it at home at the crib, but Indiana has been fucking de-pantsing elite football programs and not blinked.

Alabama pulled their pants down. Fucking Oregon, they pulled their pants down. Like, LSU and Borough played is like the only other team, or like 2001 Miami Hurricanes. There's not a lot comparable to like how good they've looked in when it mattered most. I think Indiana wins by more than a score probably. I sent college football playoff actually asked me for my prediction the other day.

and I said I said I use 3420 see at Kilroy's after and you you kind of have to pick Indiana I just realized I don't have to

I have to yeah I mean I don't have to but yeah I just love how it's like such a basketball state like Indiana is known for like the college is known for basketball and so for the football team just to come in

and just like rock people's world right now they've actually been so fun to watch. Like in their team and like their chemistry and just how they all just like love each other absolutely love. So you know, I would. I think it's cool Miami. You know, it's in Miami. The weather's going to be nice, whatever. But I'm I'm all Indiana on this one.

Yeah. Yeah, they just look they look unstoppable. It's pretty unreal. I will say though, all the people who fucking cried that Miami made the playoffs. Now look at you. You dorks. Shout out. Yeah.

I would, dude, I would take. I think Indiana to cover too. That's like, I just don't know how you, after watching their last two games, I think the country would be in complete shock if Indiana did not win. Like everyone knows Indiana is going to win. I think so, but fuck. But then again, if you want to talk history or like if you were to ask everyone 10 years ago what school is most likely to win a national championship in the next 20 years, you would say Miami every time.

Dude, but I just feel like Indiana is in such a different mindset than everyone right now. Like they're just on a fucking role and like nothing is getting in their way. Yeah, no, I agree. I agree. And if I have to eat my words later, then I have to eat my words later, but I just don't feel like awesome. Have you gone out in Bloomington yet? Oh, bitch. Oh, did you hear that?

Yeah. Bloomington, Illinois? No, Bloomington. in Indiana where the University of Indiana is. Now. Have someone drive you down like for a weekend and just like, everyone deserves a good college town weekend. Bloomington's dope.

Bloomington's dope. I threw up in the backyard of Kilroy's in like 2016. So. Dude, we have a Kilroy's in Indianapolis. Yeah, that's like the one off from the one at IU. Okay, I'm gonna be honest. I don't know shit about Indiana. Well, anyone listening to this who went to IU and lives in Indianapolis,

offer Sophie a fun weekend, you know. Go watch the girls hoop. So that is our CFP predictions. And that segment is brought to you by Hard Rock Bet, baby. I don't want to like say this because like I would never say this a lot because then it loses value. This is one of my favorite episodes we've recorded. I think we just had some fun and there wasn't anything like crazy to talk about. And we need to get Becca Tilly on this.

I feel like I'd be best friends with her. Okay, a little, someone's got a little crush. No, I don't. She's engaged, dude, stay off. I don't. I don't have a crush. I just think that she'd be a cool vibe. Yeah.
