Some librarty picks with Glenn's. You know, all my friends picking games
against the spread with the guests. Some library fantastic huh shoining us now on
the ninety seven to one the freak Hotline one of my friends and music leaders.
It is from the Polyphonic Spree, the Great Tim Delatter. Hello,
Tim, Hey guys, how's it going morning? Tim? I thought I
was afraid he was gonna say Nick Earle, But no, we got Tim.
You got me this time sorry about that, Danny. Do you think
Nick Earl would be good at picking football games? I don't think you could
get Nick on the phone this early. I'm still waiting for him to reply
to a text of mine from like three months ago. He has so much
heigh. Oh my gosh. Yeah, he's got he's got a lot of
hair. You know. I take that back. Nick is probably up right
now because he never went to sleep, That's true. He was. He
was reconfiguring his pedal board all night. Yeah, that and probably building a
new Fetzer valve in the in the back there. He's always building something.
He's good too. Man. Well, we're not here to talk about Nick.
We're here to talk about you before we get to your picks. Dude.
I didn't even know this was a thing until my oldest son sent me
a little Instagram message and said might be worth checking out. And it was
a clip of you doing a podcast with freaking Rick Rubin and I Kevin and
I. I think I started it yesterday and I got up to I think
I'm a little over an hour into it now. Yeah, I got about
thirty minutes left. So there were two things I didn't even know Rick Rubin
had a podcast number two. I didn't know that you were on a podcast
with Rick Rubin, and Man, I cannot believe how authentic and transparent and
beautiful that conversation is. Wow, it was kind of a trip. Man.
First of all, I mean, I knew he was a fan.
He would come to our shows when we played in Los Angeles, and he
and I kind of corresponded through the years back and forth, but I really
didn't realize how much of it a true fan of the band he wise.
So it kind of caught me off guard there a little bit. And then
especially when you know he got emotional about it, that was like, I
mean, I'm just sitting with him, you know, Indian style, doing
this podcast, and it was kind of amazing. But yeah, it was
a pretty uh genuine moment. It was that with him. I don't know
if you've made it that far into the pod yet, Kevin, but there
is and I hope I'm not spilling the beans too much, but you did
bring it up, so I want to expound on it just a bit.
But there is a moment in this podcast where you are telling a story about
a show that you guys were playing, and the electricity went out in between
songs and you're you kind of look around the stage and you know, have
a brief moment of panic and then realize, you know what, seventy percent
of my band is playing acoustic instruments. We've got horns, we've got woodwinds,
we've got strings, and you're in kind of a theater. Let's just
perform. And they end up performing about half of this tune, okay,
And at the apex of the the big crescendo of the tune, the electricity
at that moment magically comes back on and the chorus hits, and the lights
come on and the amps come on, and it's just this very powerful moment.
And he's telling this story to Rick Rubin, all right, and then
Rick Rubin goes, well, do you mind if we hear this song?
And I guess you know, Tim's got his phone and they plugged the phone
in. He plays the entire song for him. Diamonds is the song.
Diamonds is the song. Yeah, And I guess it put Rick kind of
he imagined himself being in the theater when that moment happened, and they come
back, he is openly weeping like it affected him so emotionally and I think
Tim even got choked up a little bit. Probably watching Rick be so affected
by something that you were such a big part in creating. That had to
be a really cool moment. Man. It was. It was awesome.
I mean, like I said, I mean I knew as a fan,
but I didn't realize how much of a fan he was. And you know
that I didn't have the the song on my phone. That's off of his
phone. Wow, he just plucked there was a dongle there and he goes,
well, I've got it, and I go, yeah, okay,
you can play it, and so he played it. But yeah, it
was a trip man. You know. That was in Malibu at his Shangri
Last studios. And yeah, he's been doing podcasts for quite some time now,
and this is a new one that he started. Tetrigrammaton is the one
that he's he just started and but he had one for the longest where it
was kind of filmed. It was filmed and some of it wasn't. But
he's been doing podcasts for a while. No, it's it's great now everyone's
checking out when you get a chance. Also, look at the new album
Salvage Enterprise came out into last month. It's great and beautiful and it's what
you expect from you, honestly at this point. But there's it's there's some
surprises in there too. Yeah, and the story of the record is kind
of intense and really good. But we've also got the holiday show, the
annual Holiday Extravaganza, year twenty of it, and y'all are doing two Tomorrow
night, yeah, and then one on Saturday night. That's true. And
you know, I had mentioned to Rick that we do this holiday show every
year. This is our twentieth year. And you know, after I got
back to Dallas, his people reached out. They're actually filming the Christmas show
and he's putting it out on his YouTube channel. Wait, they're filming your
Christmas show and he's he's hosting, Dude, that is awesome. He's they've
got a camera crew filming it and they're going to put it on his YouTube
channel. Holy crap, that's amazing. It's a trip. He's like,
all in. It's great, man. But yeah, so two nights this
year, for the first time in twenty year years, we're doing two nights
and Friday night and Saturday night. And there's tickets still available for Friday night
and it's going to be a hum dinger. Those tickets are available at pre
kindle dot com. And uh, we've got some a few surprises in there.
And you know, if you're you're you want to get into Christmas spirit,
there's nothing better than the holiday extravaganza. Twenty years of this thing,
I think we've got it down. What what what do what do we expect
if we end up at one of these two shows or both tim I mean,
are you doing a lot of uh, standard spree stuff or you mix
it in some holiday tunes? And I don't want to you don't. I
don't want you to spoil spoil the surprises. But kind of what what do
you expect when you when you go to one of these, Well, it's
pretty off the wall. It's it's like it's a kind of reminiscent of old
seventies variety shows was the main concept from the beginning. So you kind of
have a little bit of everything, Like we have the the the zoo come
out and bring these animals that kind of he'll do it action with the audience.
And then we've got the tap dancing tap dazzler Grandma's that are all out
there doing their thing, which has always been kind of charming. We've got
a magician, we've got all the Charles Dickens characters roaming the audience. You'll
leave home that night, you'll wake up in a couple of days and you'll
still be finding confetti from the snow that's being dropped there. It's we dropped
something like five hundred and seven hundred pounds of confetti each night, so it's
it's kind of a crazy thing. But the Spree does a full blown Christmas
set about ten twelve songs, and then at the end of the evening we
do a full blown rock show where it's nothing but the Spree full burn incredible
and it's kid Bridley too. Right. Oh yeah, that's that was the
main thing. It's like, I wanted to show how it started. It
was I wanted to show that could you know, my kids could come to
and then their friends family, you know, their friends, their parents,
they could come to the show, bring their kids and the parents can enjoy
it and the kids can enjoy it. So it's kind of for both both
parties there. And I can't believe it's been twenty years, man, but
it has. It started off in Lakewood Theater and we've we've resided at the
Majestic Theater for quite some time now, so the city's behind it and it's
it's pretty great. It's awesome. It's my favorite night of the year,
Friday and Saturday night. I'm bringing my five year old niece for the first
time. Oh yeah, she'll he's a perfect day. She'll kind of blow
her mind. Yeah, she's she's gonna love it. Saturday, That's when
I'll be there. But we have a couple of pairs of tickets thanks to
Tim and Chris Penn of course, with the with the Polyphonic Spree giving us
two pair of tickets to give away today to Friday Night show. So I'll
say this, JJ, just whatever, caller four and call her five if
they want to go. Right now. We got a pair of tickets to
give away to Friday night show just because the Polyphonic Spree and their people are
so nice, so cool. There you go. I'd love to bring newbies
to the Polyphonic Spreme Holiday Extravaganza. Well how are you doing these days?
Tim? Feeling good? Ready for Christmas? Everything good with the fam.
I don't know if I'm ready for Christmas yet, I've kind of slow started,
been really busy, but everything's good with the family. My kids will
all be here in a few days, which will be great, so I'm
looking forward to that. And yeah, I got these shows. I've been
rehearsing pretty much NonStop. We rehearse tonight and just gearing up for the holiday
extrava games, and that pretty much occupies all my time. I'll be glad
when that gets behind me and then I can get ready for Christmas. But
overall, I'm doing good, feel blessed, and I'm ready for some more
Cowboys absolutely, and that leads us to picks. We picked two games for
really no reason or no payoff, but Cowboys and Bills. Who do you
get? So, I mean, I know Josh Allen, that's yeah,
He's kind of a toss up. You can see where we could go either
way. I mean, I'm going with Dak. I'm going with the Cowboys,
no doubt. I'm thinking twenty seven. I think they're I don't know.
I say this every year. I believe in the man, but something
looks and I've said this too, We've all said this, but something looks
different about this team, and especially Dak right now that I don't know.
Man, the dude looks dialed in. He doesn't have that kind of glazed
over, scared look in his face when he has when he goes in the
backfield. And I don't know, I'm I'm feeling it. So I'm gonna
go Cowboys twenty seven covering, all right? Uh, what about the other
game, Seattle Eagles. You know, Jalen Hurts is pissed they got their
ass eat the other night. So I'm gonna go with the Eagles. He's
gonna try to turn it on, and I know Nick is over their heads
blowing and they've got to make Philly happy this time going into Christmas. I'm
gonna go with the Eagles. All right. Well, Tim, we'll see
you this weekend Friday night Saturday night at the Majestic the twentieth Annual Polyphonic Spree
Holiday Extravaganza, and also grab the new album Salvage Enterprise at any of your
local records. My god, it's really good. It's really good. It
is. It may be my favorite Spree album. Thanks you so good,
dude. I hope you you should be very proud of that, dude,
I am. It's one of those that you hope you get Danny in the
lifetime and and uh, I think we got one. So it's I'm pretty
thrilled about it. Also, if you're gonna beat the Holiday Show, you

it is time from mister Malcolm. Fifteen and thirteen third place. It's
always a wild ride with this one. My almost three year old son.
He will be three in March. He has done very very well. We're
very proud of him. Sometimes some very controversial picks. Sometimes some controversial picks
that work out well for him. Let's get to his now. This was
recorded yesterday just before nap time. We're laying in bed, lying in bed,
and we had just watched a little bit of what's the show that he's
into right now. It's a show about an excavator and a trash truck and
their best friends. No, it's called Stinky and Dirty. So we were
watching Stinky and Dirty and we're ready to go down for a nap, and
I was like, you know what, let's get the picks now. So
he sounds kind of ready for bed. Hey, what up, welcome?
How you doing you good? You good? Yeah? Cool? I want
to do some football picks, brot to they get you what I want here?
Today, get you? What does that mean? You want hair to
get me? Okay, can you do a couple of picks real quick?
First, let's do the Dallas Cowboys at the Buffalo Bills. Who would you
like to pick? Are they taking the bills on this one at home?
Huh? All right? Okay? How about the Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars?
Ravens, Jaguars? Who do you want to pick? Y Jaguars?
You need the Jaguars, don't you? Yeah? What can you tell me
about jaguars? Oh? Wait, you like him? I'm going How do
we let you climb your climb? Climb, climb? Jaguars like to climb.
Yep, that's so true. Okay. Do you want to say hi
to KT? Hi k T? Do you want to say hi to you?
Jj hi jj to Mikey come home alive? Came home a wife?
All right? Very, good job? Anything else? Hi Katy? O?
Good job baby? Unprompted, bye bye o. Wait day, have
a great day, have a great day. I was ready for to be
like what up? Bitches? Right? Hey, he knows he's going to
be on the air, he knows how he's a he's a professional, like
his old man. Have a great day. Have a great day, keV
out of nowhere. Hi, Kevy, Oh, come come up Alive's kind
of funny too, just like come home alone, Mike. He's been in
New Orleans for a week, so yeah, it's to be expected. Now,
Danny, you are in second place, tied with the Glenns at fifteen
twelve and one. Who do you at? I made the mistake of betting
against Dallas. It never works out for me, especially since the bye week.
I'm taking them. I'm taking them to win this damn game, come
hell or high water. They're gonna find a way to carry this, to
keep this thing going. So I'm taking the Cowboys. They got Tampa Bay
at Lambeau. Green Bay is favored by three and a half. That's what
I've got them down as Yeah, I'm taking the Packers, Okay, yeah,
I mean three and a half at Lambeau against a team that's meh,
I'm gonna I'm always gonna go with Green Bay at home. I don't care
who their quarterback is. They're gonna find a way. They looked like utter
trash, yeah they did the other night, and I I think they will
respond from that. That's kind of half the reason outside of their home field
advantage that I'm picking them because they did look like utter gardens. I think
they're better than that. They let the Epping Giants beat them. The one
of five teams in the NFC here are sitting there at six and seven,
all fighting for that last spot in the playoffs. That's gonna be crazy race
to the end. I'll go next because I'm next to the Stantings thirteen and
fifteen, Dallas plus two and a half. It's the one time this year
maybe that we're gonna have Dallas getting points. Be interesting to see if they're
favorite against Miami two on the road next, Miami could be the favorite.
So I'll take the points there, Dallas plus two and a half, and
I'm gonna go with kind of what Tim went with. If a team's pissed,
I think you're ride with them. I got the Chiefs minus eight over
the Patriots. I mean the Patriots sucking me on that, but the Chiefs
have to be mad and they kind of need to win. Yep, So
k C minus eight for me, let's go to JJ. Yeah, Katy
and I talked about this yesterday. I mean, we don't know what kind
of Josh Allen will show up? But I expect this Dallas defense to get
at least two picks. Man, give me Dallas in Buffalo, Dallas plus
two and a half. Yes, all right, it's gonna be a great
game. Excited. Uh, I'm gonna go with Denver and Lions. The
Lions are kind of falling off a little bit. Another minus five at home.
I think Denver might put it to him. Yeah, Denver, that
game is gonna be Saturday night. I think, Uh, what's the line
on that? Do you have Denver Lions minus five? Okay? I have
four on my on this thing that we're going off of. You good with
that? Lions minus four? Give me the Broncos. Okay, Denver plus
four? Yeah, I think yeah, I think they'll least cover that,
but I think Denver might might take that. Okay, Yeah, Denver plus
four will take. And then Mikey sent his in last night because he's in
New Orleans and Danny Buffalo minus two and a half. Okay, and then
Arizona plus thirteen and a half the forty nine ers, yep, taking the
points. I think Kyler could cover that bit close. So there we go.
Another week will Malcolm catch the celebrities. That's what everyone's watching it.
Maybe the Glenns are watching if they can make a run here. But will
a two year old that knows nothing about football win this thing? I think
we're all secretly pulling for this. A great tease, I know, I
am. That's all I want. I watch every week and on like I
hope Malcolm steams win. Thank you to Tim de Lotter, Thank you Jeremy
from Dallas. And uh, we'll maybe do it again next week, but
maybe not. Uh, Danny Things Morning News. This new alcoholic beverage is
coming to shelves near you. It will make you ask the question why
