you change to the design okay I mean does you change the design every year yes I gotta check out the new design

yeah it's updated it's a little different than the the previous version's a little different shift in the aesthetic if you will

but I'm digging it did you check it out did you do the brick ad while I was oh yeah we definitely no I was I asked Jeff yeah we nailed

that brickette I was asking, Jeff, if you change the design every year of the T-shirt. We do. Change the design every year. Slight modifications in years past. This is the best one ever. Oh, dang. I like this.

It's a good shirt. I mean, I can see you fell in the pigskin to your nieces and nephews in that shirt after a nice Thanksgiving turkey push, getting ready for the, it's not the Red River shootout. What do you guys call that? Barnburn. You guys still play Texas after Thanksgiving? Yeah. What's it called?

Lone Star Showdown. I never even heard that before. Is that what I am? You sure it's called that? Yeah. Like 80% sure. You made that out. What it's called.

It's called something else. All right. Look at what do you think it's called? Texas game. Lone Star Showdown is Baylor versus Texas Tech. I don't know. I feel like it's called like backyard brawl or something. No, that's the pit.

That's Pitt versus West Virginia, right? Lone Star Showdown. It's a historic rivalry that resumed annually when Texas joined the SEC in 2024 after an 11-year hiatus. Anyway, broken clock. That's the right name. Not sold. No, I don't think that's what the fans call it.

I think that's what the commentators call it. Order confirmation. Order confirmation. Trades in on the turd shirt. Are you going to do the second half of the turkey pole where you actually do the poll? No, I'm just going to wear the shirt. Great thanks to giving shirt. Proceeds go to simplified America's Fund.

And with that, we're going to turn it over to three. Oh, my goodness. Well, all right. We're not going to end up having a staff meeting, but pretend. And I'll provide some. Jacks. Oh, very well, very well. All right. Great work, everyone. Government's shut down, but we're still charging hard. We're going to pay the active duty. We're not going to pay the reservists, though. Those guys are scumbags, but we're going to try to pay them. But different

pots of money. There's all these pots of money. Okay. We have hundreds and hundreds of pots of money, and they all do something different. But none of the pots are aligned to what you thought they were. No. No, no, no. Yeah, yeah. Very, very weird pots of money and how they're categorized and then allocated and then funded and then how they're cross-org and DTS and how, you know, we need a letter from 06 command to, I don't know, but yeah. So, wait, you want me to hit up the G8 about that big movement of people coming back from deployment? Yes, yes, definitely. Oh, sorry. sorry he's on furlough oh okay okay yeah i love all the uh yeah the positions of the military that are like there's some military folks that are in that office but then it's mostly civilians

and so like no one actually knows how to because they're all they're like oh the civilians that actually do the job uh they're not here the best part is it's like military still working we're paying the troops it's like yeah but they can't do anything because all the civilians that facilitated are on furlough. The amount of times I've tried to get something actioned, not me, my buddy. Right, right. Recently, and I've gotten a he's on furlough, wild, wild, crazy. We should furlough haircuts.

Oh, whoa, hey, negative, negative, negative, negative there. You tell your buddy, haircuts are a go, okay? Those are a go. We will not furlough a haircut. Everything's furloughed. everything's furloughed. It's crazy. Real quick, trashdick. I know we hadn't sat right. I, my buddy was in a meeting

today, way too long. And when the attention on deck, I mean, the things we say here that you guys probably think we're just being a bunch of silly gooses. Silly gooses are actually

all real. And it was, there was a meeting went to end. someone goes to call attention on deck i can't i it's like if someone said quick get up you get a million dollars it's it wouldn't be as fast as when the attention on deck is called but right as someone was saying standby attention on deck someone else because the you know trash six is like uh any save rounds all right nothing heard and right as the d and heard is getting finished it's but as the attention's coming there was a saved round and it was like even more chaos

everybody just falling over and we sat down and then you think they'd be like hey you guys just did it once you'll be good when I actually leave nope did it again a lot of tensions to the decks on the decks of the buildings that's the best place to have yeah let's just is on the staff meeting or it's bad the career planners furloughed he's also yeah everyone's furloughed so we'll try again next week don't up try to update your slides go ahead and like

manually update your slides they won't save in teams because the guy that saves the slides in teams is furloughed so you'll have to manually so print out last weeks and then I need you to hand annotate any updates

and then burn a copy of those and then we'll distribute those in mass okay hey real quick trash six for the facilities manager Hey, we've thought about getting some dumpsters out in front of the barracks, you know, as units get ready to switch out, you know, to go ahead and get rid of some trash. Yes, sir. This is a facilities manager.

We actually had dumpsters locked on from Monday. They've been here since Monday. Oh, okay. Okay. And commanders, are you all aware? No idea. Nope. Not aware.

Okay. Well, how long they'd be here? that you're aware. Oh, sir, so facility's manager, they leave in an hour. Okay, did we utilize those dumpsters? No, sir, they're still empty. Okay, it's not acceptable. We know that Marines are going to have trash in the barracks and we got dumpsters out and

nothing I hate more than an empty dumpster, all right? An empty dumpsters like an empty teep. All right. And empty dumpsters like, it's like a no training plan in the duty hut. All right. So secure the trash. trash. Somehow he still

waste 10 minutes without doing the staff meeting. It's pretty impressive. It was a productive 10 minutes. Man, I got, not this week. There's a story behind that. Let it lose. I can track the one next week. Maybe some of the listeners can have some empathy

and they'll feel better that they're not the only people skipping the gym. There you go. I contracted a Oregon Trail disease from daycare. No. No, I wish. Mumps? No, something that it had a bunch of fluids leaving the body on both ends. Oh, dude, I told you not to eat keesh.

I told you. That was the problem. I told you not to eat keesh. We're trying to do the greater population, a big service here, you know, public service announcement and just stay. the keesh. I can't help myself. You know, I go to a potlet, church potluck. There's quiches lined up. All 20 of them. Oh, man. A little, little spinach quiche. Oh, Spanish quiche. A little bacon on it. So, all right.

So now, no lifting this week. All right. Well, today's episode is brought to you by BW attacks. BW tax. Great guy, better at taxes. B2C.com. Good guy. Great at taxes. Better at taxes. Yeah, some say. I guess I must say that. Yeah.

They've always said that. We've always said that. Yeah. That's for sure. Never not. Well, all right. All right. Let's talk some baseball.

It looks like you're tracking the playoffs, even though. No, I'm tracking. No dog in the fight. But, yeah, I'm not tracking the playoffs at all at this point. I know. Yeah, Mariners. Blue Jays made that one exciting. Took it down to.

game seven had some good bombs going on. What's the guy's named? Carly Riley or something like that. Oh, yeah, yeah. Or Carl, Raleigh, I don't know, yeah. He had some bombs. But ultimately, Vladdy Guerrero Jr. is as hot as they can get. And

they won. They're headed to the series against the Dodgers. Dodgers is the home team because they have a better record. We're finally away from that stupid thing where it's like, who won the All-Star game? I think we've been away from that for a few years. But I just verified that um with two independent checks of course and uh yeah so yeah i don't know

the doctors look good otani hit three home runs in one game while also pitching i think seven innings and striking out 10 dude that is insane that was that's that so i don't follow baseball at all yeah at all and that's that story all year long no but like someone someone mentioned that like do you think this guy has the potential to be the best player of all time baseball he already is no no he no quite babe ruth ted williams like everybody got out of the way he's already surpassed oh yeah i think playing baseball today then he like she's already done in so like it's already done done like is does he have like who's a hitting record hang karen over uh we'll go with hank what do you think we got what do you think we got

you think we got jeff biggie's dad on here yeah well i thought it i thought so about the home Who got in trouble for gambling in baseball, but got forgiven by Trump? Wait, are you asking for hits or home runs? And that, I guess hits is Hank Aaron, all right? Hits is P. Rose. P. Rose has the most hits of all time. And Barry Bonds on paper has the most run runs. But we all know it's.

But, like, is he, is he on track? Because is he a young dude or is he older? I don't know. He said, So, So, So, So Hey, oh, Tani, son. Yes. Shohei, he is, uh, 31. Yeah, he's not. Okay.

So he's, he will have the time to like, to take down, like, those big, like, prestigious records. But as far as, like, what he's doing is, is just unheard of. And like, like, no one, no one does. this he's batting 282 on the year credible very respectable uh where the rest of his stats why did you just go away from me what are you done uh 282 he has 55 home runs that's he's also as a pitcher phenomenal yes yep and then he also has 187 strikeouts on the year that's insane which is a lot and now that he's on the dodgers this is stolen valor this is

100% stolen valor, but 10 years from now, there's going to be all these Hispanic kids named Shohei Rodriguez. I saw that on accent. That was pretty funny. That's true. So I went to use Ramirez. I can't remember. Actually, you can probably right.

So my company is Japanese company. Oh, I get it, man. Yeah. They were all about, they were just like the biggest Dodgers fans. Whenever I had to go up Chicago for a national sales meeting. It was just all the Japanese contingent up there was like, Shohay this, show hey that. So it was like, so I can imagine in Okinawa, I bet,

are they like going nuts for the Dodgers? All I understand is Arrogato Gizimis. If you just walk out and just scream Shohayo Tani. Which is thank you, then she's thank you very much. But every time they say Arragato, I just say Gizimis. Because it seems like it should be like a you say one, I say the other. But you have to sing it.

Al-a-ca-to-Gazinas. Like, as you put in your credit card in the machine and he goes, ding-da-dong, ding-ding-ding, ding-ding, ding-ding. Hing-ding-ding-ding-ding. Ding-ding. Ding-ding. Oh, I got to Zainz.

Yeah, I'm sorry. Lance Corporate will get that one. That's good. I was going to, I was going to Matt. Is Corey Kloober still playing? Cluber? Klobler. Cluber.

No. Corey. He went to my high school. Yeah, he was, I know, he was a, he was a, yeah he was on socks he looks like last time he played with 2023 yeah I think okay maybe so you didn't go to high school with him he was two years older me yeah he's only 39 he's a spring chicken so he went to high school with tray you track yeah yeah yeah compel high school everywhere yeah you tracking capel high school yeah that's where I graduated you had not you had a

opportunity to go to Stetson University and didn't? What's Stetson? That's where Corey went. Oh, yeah. No, he asked, he goes, that's in Ford. You're going to follow me there?

Yeah. Do you know Amanda? Is you going to follow me there? Yeah. Amanda the, is that his wife? That's his wife, Amanda. Yeah.

I'm surprised you went to high school there. He's from Birmingham, Alabama. Hmm. We got to get high school team then. Yeah. Anyway, uh, let's make this quick since Trey is a huge, fan of baseball who's winning in how many games i feel like so it's at l.a and they're playing

the canadian team right that's right toronto uh i feel like l a sweeps not an unpopular opinion right now i'm very torn because like i do not like the dodgers no one does and do not like the dodgers except like they've always had it out for the braves in the playoffs and it's never gone well And those two meet up. But I also don't want a Canadian team to win. America's pass on. I'm definitely more for National League.

I got to go Dodgers in six games. I'm going six games. Six. Okay. Dodgers in six, Trey. That's just a guess. I say Dodgers in four. Sweep.

sweep it up a new broom sweeps I was trying to see what the odds were for how many games but I can't really find it but I'm going Blue Jays and Southern my heart and my mind and if I was a sports better my pocketbook would say Dodgers

but I'm going Blue Jays Vlad's hot I like that he's like the David Ortiz of Toronto his dad played he used to like be on the field with his dad which is cool he's a great guy when he's time to say the jankies lose.

So, yeah, I'm going, I'm pulling for Vladdy, go Blue Jays. All our Canadian customers, you heard it here. I'm pulling for the Blue Jays. I mean, really neither team's American. So, let's just go for the Blue Jays.

That was a joke. I get it. I get it. No, that's a good joke. Yeah. I don't know. It reminds me, this reminds you of like Jordan and his prime. I just always remember, yeah, rooting against Jordan when he was on the Bulls. Just because I didn't want him to win. And so I feel like people rooting against Shohei Otani.

I'm actually not. I would like to say show, see Show Hey, Otani have a great series. And the Dodgers still lose. Also just him continue to do what he's doing. Yeah, I like him fine. I just don't like Dodgers. Same. Yeah.

That's what they call baseball. Speaking of baseball, we don't do baseball helmets, but we do do football helmets. Go over to green gridiron, gridiron green, Mr. Helmet, and get yourself a collectible helmet like Tray's got in his hand and Jeff Scott on his head behind his head. If you're not watching YouTube, you should be. Go to YouTube and you can watch us talk and figure out on my camera's blurry right now. Watch us talk. You'll love it.

Hey, we're popping tops. Go to pop and tops. Pop and tops. Love it. Yeah, Dan, that's great. All right. What we got next? Stick it with a sports.

What we really want to talk about? Do you want to get into our college football round up here? Yeah. You know? Tell me when it's time for Trey's picks. Oh, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, let me know that it's time for that.

Okay. All right, well, go around the horn here. Our team's, Trey, undefeated still. Hey, close call, but I'll take it. W's W, it's all it matters. Hey, man. Arkansas, do you realize, is like top five offense in the country? Dude, they can put up some points.

They can put up some points. Don't you all playing this weekend? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're going to lose. It's fine. I don't know. At tailing greens, uh, very, it is. They're talking about changing quarterbacks.

Yeah, it's, uh, yeah, number three, number three in the nation, though, right? For A&M? A&M, yeah. Yeah. After Miami loss. You got buy week, right? No, we got LSU at home. LSU.

Our LSU at. LOS who? LSU. Yeah, exactly. LSU? You know why I say that? Do you know why we say that? Because it rhymes.

That's why we don't like Kish. That's true. You know who does like Kish? People from LSU. Yeah. In the Bay. Oh, that Kish Lorraine. That Kish Lorraine.

Put a little gator meat in there. Yeah, got some of gaita meat. Yeah. some of the boodin kish quick chow talk before we get into the uh to the meat and potatoes of college football and this might take five minutes so sorry but i've been meaning to tell it for a while so sometimes when you're in uh my buddy's in okinawa all you really want it's like some good american chow and everywhere you go you're just getting arugatoed and gizimist so we looked at this place called warrens burgers it's up uh north somewhere i went to go and i went about a month

ago for the first time and you and you walk up and it was like I was with a group officers, and there's like a rope over the front door, like a club entrance, a yellow rope. And then there's like a sliding door that's closed and it has privacy glass. And there's an incredible amount of signage. Like all the signage you could possibly imagine, which obviously, what do I love to do, read signs. So I'm reading the signs. It's like, do not stress the owner.

He's recently had a heart attack. Did you park in the correct position? blah blah blah do not move the rope and come in until you know what you want to eat like there's tons of rules and then as i'm like reading all this and consuming it there's like a sign this is open and i've later found out there's a walkie-talkie and it's like hey pencil pencil nick marines you all ready to come in and i'm like what in the world and uh like yeah and they like opens the door he's like six one two 70 and he's got this big belly little little little silver goatee bald head and he's like uh is a y'all know what you want to eat and we're like

oh like what do you recommend read the sign you don't come in until you know what you want to eat and we're like oh okay let me guess that's a captain that's a captain you a major and that's a pencil dickhead lieutenant colonel and like unfortunately he was like correct and we're like uh yeah that's uh all correct no y'all y'all go ahead and come in i like the marines i used to be with two seven we used to beat the crap out of reservists like oh you're a marine no no but i used cook for him. You used to cook for 2-7 back in the day. And see that table right there? That's just for Marines right there. Only Marines can sit there. Y'all sit over here, though. And we're like, okay. And, but anyway, he's, he's just like, he talks. He makes burgers.

Burgers are good. Like, good, probably like, outlaw country music playing in the air. When you go inside and shut the door, you actually feel like you're an American joint, like the way, the way the whole thing feels. But what I want to get to is I've now been like four or five times, mainly just to take other people to experience like, like just everything he does and, and because the burgers are good. And, uh, and every time he's, hey, uh, you want to bring some Marines by on the weekend, I'll cook you up a pot of jambalaya. I'm from Louisiana. Louisiana. I'll cook you up some jambalai. Oh, last weekend. You missed it last weekend, major. You missed it last weekend. Major, you missed it last weekend. Major, you know, I close a five o'clock. I just sell my hundred burgers and then I close.

I'm old, man. I got, I got to get in the water and do some spearfishing. But I had them up. We made him a real nice pot of jambalaya. And, yeah, anyway. Just find that impersonation. I can hear the heart attack. Yeah.

The sweat that's just like on his brow, like on his lip at all times. Don't come in to you know what you want to order. The Google reviews are phenomenal. He like berates you for Google reviews. He's like, hey, well, you leave me a Google review. And we're like, oh, yeah, sure. And I appreciate a business center needing to Google review. Like those do a lot.

He said, man, I got some one-star reviews last week from some Cadina Cairns. They came up here in a minivan at 3.30 with a busload of kids. This says on the door, this ain't a family restaurant. Okay. You watch kids, you take take out. And I'm just like, man, this guy's got a lot of hard takes that seemed to like not be good for business. But it's kind of working for them. also cadena's an air force base

so he's implying that the wives yeah the air force members are cadena carrence and it's just like hilarious i thought that was a Japanese city yeah probably that too cadena carrens yeah gracious all right anyway back to back to my

I know you like to dovetail off those subjects but let's uh let's go ahead get back on track let's go back in you know snap back in adjust fire ship fire Well, you're born in a barn. You ain't going to come out of the bathroom like that. I know what he wants to smell your ass.

We eat and chow. Whoa, all right. Yep. Did leave the door open to the bathroom. Jam, blah. Five star Google. Yeah. Yeah.

So if your listener go on, what's it, Warren's. Yeah. Go ahead. Leave a Google review. Of what you think. You heard about it on the OK podcast. Yeah. I should get him a guest.

We got to get a potential sponsor. Yeah. You can get them as a gas. I'll go film from inside. I'd rather just have them as a sponsor. Yeah, potential sponsor. Hey, fingers crossed. All right, back to college football.

All right. Yeah, okay. B and M. It looks like they're cooking up some jambalai over there. Yeah, so far. So far, so good. We'll see how it goes this weekend. Texas Tech went down.

They did. I was a little surprised. I mean, yeah, surprise, but they? Mike, do you watch some, do you catch some Miami game? Yes. I watched. I didn't catch anything. Okay.

Just like a bit. But man, old Carson Beck, put it up a stinker. So. I know, man. And then blaming everybody else but him. Yeah. Yeah. That was kind of bad luck.

Yeah. Oops. Oh, missed. Old missed. Old missed. Old miss did all miss. Yeah. That's not surprising.

man. Georgia's just a good team. Yeah, they're coming down the track. I was asking who it was and now I'm aware. It's them Georgia dogs and red and black. Apparently there's some controversy around the words that's not a real controversy, but

it's like the old-timer Georgia fans say, what's that coming down the track? And then the new generation of Georgia fans say, who's that coming down the track? Because they say, L.S., who's that coming down the track.

I always, yeah, I always heard it as what's that coming down the track? Yeah, me too. I'm old core. I'm old core. I think it's always been what's that. And then Pat McCaffey probably screwed it up the first time he did it. And then that's his like made up story. Yeah.

I can do that. I can definitely. Clever move. Well played. Well played Pat. Do it about that Auburn game, huh? Find another way to lose, baby. And I did watch that one. I did watch that one. I watched that one on my phone. I watched that one on my phone and someone was like, what game you're watching?

I was like Auburn, Missouri. They're like, why do you care about that? I was like, War Eagle. You're tracking War Eagle? Clearly, you don't listen to the okay podcast. Clearly, you're not listening. You tracking War Eagles? Oh, is that their mascot? Nope. Nope.

Not their mascot. But yeah, no, I didn't watch. I didn't watch any of that game. I was just checking updates on my phone. And so I went to overtime. I was shocked and then not shocked when they lost it in overtime. So. Yeah.

I saw Hugh Fries asking for the AD to give him a vote of confidence. Did you see that? I did not. I did not. That's not a good look. I give him no confidence. They're talking about, yeah. And the coach is like, 80, what do you think?

How do you think I'm doing? Like, I don't know what you're there, brother. Crickets. Yeah. So I know the quarterback competition is open this week. Jackson Arnold's got to win his job at practice. And then, yeah, so then we'll see what happens. You guys get the quarterback competition open.

I think the GameCucks have the coaching competition open. Yeah, the backup head coach is going to get a couple reps in there. Yeah, he does. Yeah, they're coming for blood in South Carolina. Are they off the Beehmer Wagon? I mean, if you're in deep into the circles I'm in. Yeah, they're off the Beamer. They're definitely off the Mike Shula wagon.

But they're pretty far off the Beamer wagon. And then I do just appreciate the Garnet glasses wearing always optimistic. Like, oh, Beamer just needs 10 years. Turn this thing around. I think you're like eight or nine more seasons. I kind of appreciate that. Yeah. So if you went to turn around.

you went to Virginia Tech, you think no one would be too upset by that? Is that what you're saying? Beamer? Yeah. Oh, if he left? I'd say it's probably split, but I mean, even though we're like very good at it

and used to it, Gamecock fans still don't like losing. I feel like we would have like adapted to this is what we do by now. I'd say like three spur years, but I think if he got fired, people wouldn't be upset. I mean,

I'm sure there'd be some. I don't know. I feel like in this era. How would you feel about it? I would like to see the strength coach get fired. And the offensive coordinator, I think, I think I'm down for a year or two more, a beamer. I think he's a good guy with potential.

It could be off, but it's like, yeah. And you got to feel like, I don't know, Sellers is coming back. for another year, right? I... What is his draft stock? Like, is he going to transfer? They're saying his draft stock is still really high, man. It's still really high.

He's still, like, he's still good. It's everybody else on the team. It's the O-line. Like, the O-line is not good. I'm with you on that. Let's look right now. I'm with you on that, Jeff, but I read an article of the day.

Lenoris sellers. What would you say? QB prospect? Yeah. Draft status. Draft status. Draft stock. draft stock

I would say if he's third round or higher I think he's gone man I don't know because he's got potential to be a to be a first draft profile

I don't know I guess maybe it also depends on what all right here we go Nora Stellars overall rank fourth projected round first

and his stock has only gone up let's see interesting he was he started the season as pick number seven on august second he rose to pick number two and now he's down to pick number four that's still really good playing behind a struggling offensive line has contributed to some bad habits since he's dropping back too far and holding on the bar shows promises clean throwing most impressive arm strength ability to deliver accurate pass downfield yeah there's a lot in here crucial decision about whether to declare for the NFL draft or return for senior season your first round number one team picked

team fit new york jets oh yeah maybe maybe baseball for a little bit I would not go to the Jets or something I don't know us and the Jets

no oh man all right Trey why don't you take us into that okay podcast picks of the week oh I had one more game and now highlight. Oh, yeah, please, please. It was the BYU, Utah, Holy War. Hey, BYU won that one.

Again, I wanted to bring up another gripe about people rushing the field. So they rush the field. So BYU has won this game the last three times. They were the higher ranked team. Like, it was at, like, I don't understand why they stormed the field. Yeah. That'd be like the Marines storming the field after winning the second World War. Like, duh.

I was like, I don't know. It's a lot of, yeah, but like they've won the last three times. They were supposed to win that game. Like, it wasn't a close. It wasn't a close game. Like it,

Jeff old man, it doesn't check me in the boxes. Jeff, for like Russian kids. Have some fun. I don't even view it for let the kids have some time. I guess that is the only fun that the Mormon kids are having is Russian.

Make the state troopers. work. Make the Stap Troopers work. Protect that ball, coach. I got, I go last save round before we do the picks. Yeah, sure. No, no. Yeah, please. The alibis, yeah. So A&M got fined $50,000 today and got reprimanded by the conference for faking an injury. So do you know you can get, you get fined for like fake injury? Old Misk you hit with that last year or something. this is the first time it's been implemented that's been enforced

but the rule's been in since 2023 and I'm like in the Army did that for yeah and the Army you get paid

for faking yeah you get out of work you can just like yeah go your barracks room and sleep limited duty

I was I was kind of upset by that I'm like SCC just don't like A&M that's a bumer I mean that's also true yeah that is true

It's all right. It's right. Yeah. The Crumble cookie guy. You guys got overalls. You've been fine. Yeah. Overalls and money, baby.

Just reach out to the Crumble cookie guy. I guess he went to BYU and he paid the fine for them rushing the field. So. No, Crumble cookie. Yeah. Potential sponsor. I thought the Mormon Pope did. I think it's called Bishop.

One in the same. I think it's called Bishop. I don't think they have a book. Excuse me. All right. Should we do recap first? Yeah, recap. Last week.

And now it's time for Trey's Picks of the Week. Brought to you by the OK podcast. This is how we've always done it. We've never not done this. Every college football season, we bring Trace of the Weeks. Okay. How did we do last week? Okay.

So last week, we went nine and one. Very impressive. Tough to do against tall grass. Dang. I think I made one change, but I think for the most part, we kept it. Whoa, that was the one loss, huh? That was the one loss. Yeah.

No, we got it. We got it. So I thought we were betting, like we were on a heater all day. Like, we had everything, everything was picked. So we were the only one to pick. We were the only one to pick Vandy. Everybody else picked LSU. Suckers.

Yeah, I know. So I'm like, oh, we got this. This week we're moving up. notes and then who'd you pick do you pick b yu or utah i picked b yu i pick i okay so that was a note that we did listen to grant on because that's the one game that we missed so you're i guess you're right yeah sure to listen those notes we got listen back to the tapes new strategy just go with the grant's notes just open grants notebook for meetings it's not full of doodles so we got them all right last week except the the Utah as a team

I got to go Vandy also. You're sticking with Vanderbilt. It feels not the way to go, but it's what I'm doing. Okay. I had Missouri picked on that one, so. But we'll go for Vanderbilt. Now, Tray's getting mad.

It's a little bit annoying. Yeah, well. trying to listen to any of these trying to win this but okay we're trying to win it okay team okay we're okay

uh BYU you going to Iowa State BYU right number 11 undefeated I think they got to drop one of these right yeah that's kind of what I was thinking what's Iowa State's record

how many they dropped Five and two. They lost to Colorado, which, I mean, obviously everyone loses the Colorado. Which we picked that, by the way. Yeah, and they lost to Cincinnati. Not a bad team. Not a bad team. So they're on a two-game losing streak.

I'm going to BUIU, staying with the team. Yeah, okay. Okay, BYU. All right, we have Illinois fighting the line and I going to Washington to play the Huskies. this is this game is like a 50-50 split on the percentages right here I'm going huskies shout out of Craig Robbins team going huskies it's leaning 1% Husky so that's who I picked too

I actually picked Ellisie here. Giving them fighting Texas Aggies. Give him fighting Texas Aggies. We're fighting Texas Aggies. Man, so A&M has not won. I picked LZU. A&M hasn't won there since 94. Due for a win. Yeah.

I guess, yeah. Do for a win. Okay. So y'all picks. making a trash a truck man's going to ride in on a war eagle and they're going to win North Dakota State

Bison playing South Dakota State Jackrabbits Shout out Tanner Baird South Dakota State Jack Rabbit former player Both teams undefeated 7 and 0 Hey listen I'm going that South Dakota

goes against my inner what I should do North Dakota just dominated the FCS for years, right? And it's moved up. It's like a 75% chance. North Dakota is going to win this. Yes, according to this.

I listen to the Mastinomics Podcasts. I believe in miracles. I'm so upset, man. Jeff didn't smoke this week. Jeff didn't pick yet. I'm also a Mastonomics listener. So, oh, my boy. You're tracking crew.

You're trying to give up on a crew? I can't stop supporting them. You're dragging the crowd. I can't stop supporting them all of a sudden because the odds aren't in their favor. Oh, we're just going to give up on a crew because there's 75% odds. Okay. You know how many straightgo plates they've got at Massanomics, too. You know.

Okay. I bet you didn't think their horse dog gripper mat from James Horstall would work either, did you there, Trey? Okay. South Dakota State. Tanner and Tommy single-handedly. Here we go, Jack Rebitts. go. Let's go Jack Rabbits. Let's go Jack Rabbits. I hear a lot of their players listen to this

podcast. They're going to be fired up by this. Trey, you're going against the crew. Please. This week I was anti-cru. Yeah, make a note. I was anti-cru. No, made. Trey's not, Trey's going to not actually make stuff.

He's like, this is like, I override this. He's not going to pick any of the ones that we were on. He was no way. I didn't make a note. I got confused on who my head. You know what's when I changed last week? It was the one you lost. Me and you picked South Carolina.

Grant picked OU and I switched it back to OU. You're welcome. You're welcome. So bonus round. Bonus round seems like you forgot one of the biggest games of the week being played. You're fighting South Carolina. 21 tubas in the band Gangcox against Alabama. People said it couldn't be done.

in 2011 when Stephen Garcia did it, former guest, but he did it. It's true. Gamecox was going to win this game, and it's going to be a shocker win. And what I'm not by big score, what I mean is the Gamecocks are going to lead the whole game. It's going to be 7.0.

It's going to be 7.3. It's going to be 10.3. It's going to be, now they'll tie one time. It's be 10.10. Gamecox win 27, 17. And everyone loves Beamer again. You heard it here first. Wow.

You see that, hey, yeah, keep his way. Best way you keep your job security or maintain job security. You beat Alabama. Win. 13 and a half point favorite. Two touchdowns. I'm a Gamecock fan. You think I've never heard that before?

Okay. They're telling me it's raining in Okinawa. Shocker. All right, is that wrap up college football? Yeah, that wraps up. All right. Thanks for listening. Go Jack Rabbins.

All right. You guys see Rick Flair's 400-pound deadlift? Ah. Yeah, Rick Flair yesterday. What? Deadlifted 400 pounds. For the turkey pole? For the turkey pole.

Wow. If Rick Flair can do it, it's exactly the way he did after. Rick Flair, deadlifted. He was 400 pounds. I'm impressed. How old? He's up there. deadlift was 600 pounds but he just posted a video deadlifting 400 pounds at age 67

that's great i love that looks like the video might have been from 2017 so when i say recently all right i'll put you this way it's been viral on x so i assumed it was new it's only nine years old i mean it's it's october which means it's basically january it's basically 2026. Right. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway,

Flare deadlift. But I did want to talk about old people in deadlifting. And I use the term old lightly. Probably might have my mother listening right now. But I just mean, I've been shocked over the past year. You know, we got some cool strength coat, a thousand pound shirts. We try to get Marines, do a thousand pound club.

We kind of like sponsor it. It's got, you know, the battery logo on it with the godfather hand, holding up a barbell on the barbell strength coat plates. So a lot of Marines get really excited and come and do it. But then a lot of Marines will just, like, tell you, like, did you start talking about slipped and degenerative disc, and they hurt their back? And we've talked about this at nauseam before. But it's interesting.

It's like the younger person, like, I don't know. They just, the excuses just roll in and, you know, I'll log on to X and I'll see my mom pulling 240 and, you know, my dad pulling 300 with no, with no elbow. and people in the gym back at the Costa Mesa location, you know, deadlifting heavy and all this risk-first reward talk. And it's like, man, it's really not that risky. Like, just learn how to do it. It's not that tough to do it.

And I'm a believer there's more than one way to get it done and, you know, slowly progress it. But I just thought of that when Rick Flair was deadlifting 400 to 67. And the comments I thought saw, it apparently was nine years ago. But from the video that was posted recently and I was watching it, And it's like, yeah, because of steroids and this and that. And it's like, yeah, but 400 pounds isn't even like, that's not even crazy to me for even a 67 year old. Yeah.

You know, it's, uh, so anyway, go do your deadlifts. Go do your dead lifts. Six, seven year olds. And he's got to be still on steroids, right? I hope so. That'd be sweet. Yeah. He also was probably 67 nine years ago.

So he's probably seven. Yeah. Six. Let's look at Brickfler's current age. Yeah. Current age. Rick Flair's current age. That math checks out, Jeff.

Yeah, I've got 76 on the dot. Verified. That's good. We can do math and five. Home school math. Home school math at its finest. All right, what else we got on the slide deck there before we bring this thing down for a landing?

So many slides. We got some chow talk here. You kind of touched on the subject of Tao Chow talks, a little serendipitous. But murders. Oh, damn. Talk to me about burgers. Like, what sort of...

Are you, like, a big... How do you like them cooked? Are you, like, a lot of toppings guy? Do you want all, like, the crazy stuff? Like, bacon, avocado, eggs, barbecue sauce, burger, secret special sauce on a pretzel bun. And, like, what are y'all?

What are y'all? What are your thoughts on burgers? Trey? I'll get this train rolling. Yeah, I recently have... Actually, not even recently. I've always been a smash. burger yeah i knew you were going to say it new you like i'm a smash burger like i'm a big smash burger fan but also it's a first of all i'm a burger fan period love them no matter what they look i love all

burgers i also am a big fan of uh an egg on a burger over easy egg great topping great topping and sell warren but yeah i would say if i did if i could only choose one or probably be smash burger okay why why is this my smash burger I don't know, man. It's just something about them was stacking patties on patties that are smashed.

So, cheese in between. I got some opinions. I got some opinion on this. No, they're not bad ones. I'm not first time I'm going to take you to Texas. I'm going to take you to Texas.

I'm going to take you to Jackson. Thanks to Mark Ripettow for telling me about this place. Herds hamburgers around since 1916. If you're driving from Wichita Falls to Dallas to Dallas, you want to eat good in Wichita Falls. drive to Dallas. But if you, if you go in that way, you can go about 30 minutes out of the way, you can stop in Jacksonboro, Tennessee, little hamburger stand. They do smash burgers. It's just like a big thing of Chuck on the flat grate. You know, they're just cutting it off, like making

the patties as they go. You know, it's just like probably 15 pounds of meat and then throwing the cheese on. Heard's big fan. If you're ever selling Japanese products around Jacksboro a tray, get your butt over to Herds and get you a hamburger. I'll check it out. It's going there. I think. smash burger i do really like i would say this and i'm going to say don't like that's not true i don't like them but i would say least preferred is like a crazy designer burger with like an excessive amount of toppings like pineapple or avocado uh i'm okay with bacon on it but like i don't need a a piece of binton's bacon that's like could wrap around the burger three times you know what i mean

Like if I almost want like the bacon from a BLT on the burger, if I want bacon. I am a friend, fan of eggs on it. I think though, you know, I don't want to say my favorite burger. Herge is definitely up there. But this style, I think, is my favorite. And if it's done wrong, it's not good. It's actually like one of the worst. But if it's done right, there's a place in California, Orange County called Danny Kay's Sports Bar,

you go in there to watch games, and you get their burger. and it's like if all the ingredients came out of your backyard. It's just like a cold, non-toasted, like standard bun, like not overly like sesame seeds on it, just like what you'd get at the grocery store. It's like a well-shaped, just like normal patty, but it's cooked correctly, which a lot of times you're grilling in your backyard,

you're overcooking those things. It's cooked correctly. And it's got like crunchy lettuce that like your mom just rinsed in a colander that still has like a little bit of water on it. It's got a juicy farm-ripe, South Carolina tomato, a piece like Kraft American cheese, a little bit of ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, and that's it. And I love that thing.

I've actually dreamt about that burger since I've been over here. And it's simple, but I'm a big fan of just like the traditional, classic American. No need to church this thing up. Backyard burger. Jeff, you've got a penance. Yeah, no, I'm also. a big, big smash burger fan.

Yeah, when you get that, like, that nice kind of like crust on there, you get that, yeah, that little, little resistance as you're biting into the patty, I think is really nice. As far as, like, best burgers. I feel like the one that always would, like, stand out. So the place in Atlanta called Holman and Finch, it's like a restaurant, I don't know, not like super, super fancy, but like, higher-ish end and like the burger's like not on the menu but like everybody kind of knows about it and

they only make like i don't remember the exact number anymore but you know they make like x number per day then they're like sold out so like it kind of has this like mystique around it um but yeah it's kind of like you know a couple couple pieces of beef you know smashed smashed on the griddle some cheese some like kind of thick cut like house made pickles so it's super simple simple, but man, that thing's good. But yeah, it's solid. It's trying to mind this one. Finch and Finch.

Holman and Finch. Yeah, same same. I think they maybe, I feel like I heard somebody say that now at like Truist Park. So where the Braves play now. Oh, Fitch. Yeah, Finch. Finch. Homan and Finch.

Gastropa. That's a good looking burger. It's a good looking burger. It's a good burger. But I think they have like a. Holman and Finch, good food. Good drinks, good people. Good people.

They have a Thanksgiving pre-order ballpark now. Oh, I got you there. So it's kind of cool. It looks like, this looks fancy. I'm trying to think. They just open a place up down the road from us. That's pretty good with their smash burgers. But I think the best one was Austin used to have Hutz hamburgers.

Okay, okay. Which was probably, it was like an Austin staple. And I would drive from college station to Austin on Wednesdays. Just to get it. man. Ooh, I like that. They had a two, it was a two for one deal. Two for.

Bogo. Two for. We guys save rounds over there, Mr. Bougier. There's one more topic of there. I want to know if it's about owls or the place with women and chicken wings, Hooters. Ah, Hooters. Yeah, I saw an article. Hooters popped up.

I guess Hooters have been going out of business all over. And it's like owned by like Hooters American Corporation or something. it was a Forbes article and the four guys that originally started it in Florida who like still own 21 stores and are like booming but like sold the rest out to like American Hooters or whatever came back and we're like this is a travesty like they messed it all up and we're we have a moral obligation which is why I was laughing so we have a moral obligation to fix Hooters they're like the wings are going to get better the employees are going to get better.

I can only imagine what they mean. So Hooters, buy some Hooters stock. There's four guys in their 70s in Florida that are parking their yachts and brain and back. Man, we're going to fix it. There's a moral obligation. Four guys that are experts in Hooters. They're definitely in Florida.

Yeah. So Hooters. Houters is back. That's what we've always said. Moral obligation. Yeah, moral obligation. Quick up. Bowling.

update. I've been doing a lot of bowling over here. A new high, new range highs, 1-82. I feel like the floor is now like 150. So, you know, bringing the floor up, the top end's moving slow. I know listeners, I know real bowlers,

like, don't think that's good. But the goals to roll a two hundo for relief. Oh, you got it. We're amateur lifters. Amateur bowlers. Amateur bowlers. Yeah, I think on Saturday, people are like, want to go out and hang out in the rain in Okinawa and I was like nope

what times the bowling alley open 19 games later yeah we're really 19 games I think it was 16 16 16 16 yeah I played I played I played six

took a break when pushed chow came back and bowled one zero it's so awesome technically I played six and a half at the start because I ran out time but yeah a lot of bowling going on
