Ricky Smith? Nico? What's going on? Emerald Sin Welcome everybody. Brett
Launders here, Pete cow what's up? Everybody? Welcome to the show.
We got a lot to talk about this week, and I don't really want
to talk about any of it because my voice, my throat kind of hurts
not I want to get too a coughee fits. So I'm gonna lay back
a lot this week and let the boys kind of handle the show as I
just throw in my unfunny quibs here and there. But first, let's introduce
the man with the Golden Mask. He is the resident doctor of Straight Up
five. He is the house hack. He's the captain of the big red
whiffleball team Whiffle Batsy. I fuck it up? All right, good night,
everybody. That's a good show. We'll see next week. Have a
good week, guys, see next week. Take care? All right,
fine, doctor Ocho? What happened to your arm with the gut? It
looks smart? I started at like eight o'clock, so I'm kind of cramping.
Let me try and muster up something there. I love it. And
you're in the dark again, Always in the dark, Ocho. Nobody puts
too in the dark except for Ocho. So obviously Johnny is not with you
this week. Who says that? Uh? And you know when you in
the in the intro, you say he's so gifted? What if the guy
just works hard? Like did we do? We just diminish the fact that
he worked his ass off to be that good of a bowler? He doesn't.
You're so gifted. You didn't do ship, You did nothing. You
just took your thumb out of the ball, and all of a sudden you
be a He doesn't. He doesn't practice. He needs and I'm carrying a
lower average than everybody. He doesn't practice. So he is gifted to be
as good as he is. He's gifted as far as his looks are,
and that's not he didn't do anything about that. He is very hes,
very pretty man. Yes, he basically got hatched and it was like,
okay, let's make him a nine point four. And the reason he is
so pretty is because of good jeans, but also because of his he wears
good jeans. He does wear good jeans, he does. Check out Georgie
Georgie Shore for a badass haircuts, sweet Blends dot com that's blends with a
Z, and check out Ocho for Twin Peaks. Twin Peaks. You ever
been there? Actually it's every night. No, really, it's a chain
restaurant. I've never been. I just it was. It was a dirty
movie in the early nineties, which I loved. Also, well, the
restaurant isn't far off from the movie. There's a they put hooters for shame.
Let's just so good. Didn't you say you didn't want to talk?
I did say that, didn't I. Yeah, Maybe I'm just saying.
I'm I'm a student of the game. I'm always further a doing when I
need to do less, which is what I'm going to do, is just
don't That's that's true. Good evening, Brian are hair Good evening. The
bear is here? What's up? Bear? All right, let's bring in
the man of the name of the Marquis. He is the number one sexiest,
literally the the sexiest man in the world. It is, mister Johnny
Petreuglia Junior. What up, JP, Sorry for the delay in bringing you
in here. That's right, I was actually enjoying every minute of it.
Good. I'm glad I entertained you. And happy New Year to you all.
Happy twenty twenty four. Yeah it sucks so far because I'm still sick,
but you've been sixty is nineteen ninety six, Like, I guess,
just deal with it. I mean, hey, happy new year. Well
man, ninety seven is going to be a better year. Maybe I'll have
a week of not coughing my balls off. It don't make me cough.
Don't make me cough, you know it don't make me laugh, all right.
I mean, in your defense, there's a lot of people sick right
now. There's something nasty on around. Yeah. Yeah, bro, it
sucks like I felt like twenty twenty three was just a revolving door a snick
This year oation zero. Probably that's the problem. Fuck off, dude,
my kid, my kid kid, you know, well, your kid hasn't
been out in the preschool. I'm around some nasty folk. Yeah, I'm
around some nasty folk. It boosted my immune system. I've I've actually eradicated
STDs because of how nasty I am. Yeah, just drink a two liters
mountain dew. You'll be fine, That's true. Don't drink the mountain don't.
They're they're the bad ones. You do the do, okay. I
will definitely do the do the zero sugardo. By the way, I can't.
I can't do the sugar ship anymore. Nick, Nick d and in
the house, in the house as well, good eating everybody. Nick whooped
our ass a couple of weeks ago. Actually, you know, speaking literally
or figuratively. Nick throws a strike in the ninth and field and then three
strikes in the tenth. Every single time, it's every single time he he
gets sixty pins in the ninth and tenth for I don't even know if that's
sixty, but it's closed to it on the score sheet. You're right,
So no, he like the dude is just he could he could have a
he doesn't, I don't mean it like this. He could have a freaking
one O eight And he's going to strike in the ninth and put three on
in the tenth and just like that, Like that's that's how you turn it
up. Yeah, there's some bowlers that are closers and there's some people bowlers
that are coasters. You know, it's just like a just like a baseball
lineup. You know, you put your your your guys that get on base,
and you lead off your two holes, put your power right. You
gotta put your starting with. But he's not wrong by that other comment.
He just posted f y me. That was actually where I wanted to start
the show because I have I have some insider knowledge here about Oho. What
based off you talked to That's impossible, well the insider knowledges. I spoke
to Ocho directly via text and oh him last week recent League Knights you know
too. To bring in twenty twenty four, I'd like to have Ocho share
his story about his most recent trip to the bowling Center. I mean the
story is I walked in the same as I always do. I tripped over
the front door because I try to carry my bag in and the wheel tow
at the same time. Uh probably hacked raining. So I made the approaches
all sloppy and no I lucked out. I'll be honest with you. I
had they had a lesson going on our lane, and then the little gimmick
machine comes out and starts putting the oil on again, and I was like,
well, that's kind of weird. Don't they usually do this a little
bit ago? And now it's in my head like, oh man, we
gotta we're gonna have to adjust for this. My shot was just wide open.
Now I don't want to say wide open. You had to you had
to make a shot. Nick bowled on the same lanes and he crushed it
too. He bowled awesome. But uh it was, uh, well,
let's see, let's see. I they played differently because the lesson was only
on one lane. So that's the fun part when you kind of have to
play the lanes differently. So I was two boards left on the thirteenth plane,
two boards to the right on the fourteenth, two fifty seconds the thirteenth
and fourteenth planes. Correct, That would be when I get it right on
the seventh and eighth. Did I get it right? Though, because I've
said, like the fourteenth and fifteenth lanes, which I think is wrong.
If the fact you're calling the lanes the thirteenth and fourteenth is what's funny.
But yes, that's a pair the thirteen and fourteen. I uh, I
had my spiel, which is yes, here your wonderful league night on the
thirteenth and fourteenth lanes continue. No, so, uh, just I got
lined up. It's it's a matter of I mean, everybody knows when you
get lined up, you're you know, Johnny, you bowled in that tournament
and you were just unconscious. You just you repeated shots, and you know
where we bowld. They do have the speed. Whether it's accurate or not,
it's not I don't. I don't mean that. I normally like that.
I mean, it's not accurate to where the speed is measured, but
it's accurate where even where it is measured, it'll tell you the same speed
every time, so it will be accurate. It won't be the same it
won't be the actual speed though, because it measures it too far up the
lane. From what I remember Johnny saying, at one point, if I
kept my speed between like a half a mile per hour, I was in
the pocket and I just kind of bring my arm up straight. So I
had to, you know, move to the right on the fourteenth lane.
Two fifty six not a bad game. Two seventy eight because I missed a
ten pin, my eighth ten pin of the year that I missed on the
way you had an eleven strike two seventy No, I don't know, did
I I mean, if you you said you missed the spare in the two
seventy no, no, no, no no. I missed on the fill
ball on the It was a ring in town and then it would have been
a two seventy nine. So I thought, you went like nine out all
of them. Oh that would have worked. Huh yeah, oh drat now
And that's and that's my eighth ten pin that I missed this year. And
then, uh I, I kind of I chased it a little bit because
I was so I started wedging the ball in up tight, like super tight
on the fourteenth lane as we like to say, and that was the tighter
lane, and I said, you know what, maybe I just got to
move to the left a teen t dick to get ahead of it. And
good old John Ell said, I agree with that. That last ball you
threw, yeah, it was high flush, but it could have been a
four pin, oh man, where we both wrong? Left the two eight
And then I tried it again, thinking maybe I didn't get out of it
right, and then I left the two pin, and then I went back
to the right and you know, threw a few more strikes and we'll finished
with a two twenty five. It was a seven to fifty nine. I'll
take it. It is Ocho's best series ever. But that's because I'm a
professional, and professionals can do that stuff every once in a while. That's
a joke. I'm not a professional. Seven to fifty nine, I know.
I'm still I'm still confused that you only throw it a half mile an
hour YEARI bowling bumpers in between a half a mile an hour difference you mother
graud. Oh, everybody else knew what I meant up further freaking that makes
more sense. Yeah, yeah, he gave me the brady bunch of thumbs
up. Five. I did you saw me do it? I find I
find Johnny, thank you. It's actually a five for you, Roger meanie,
what's up, brother, greasy? Five is what it is? Graduate
I'm happy. Yeah, I didn't text you because you're usually a douche.
That's true. That's true. Well, you don't text me anyway. Well,
that's the other thing, because you're usually a douche. Speaking of New
Year's, how was everybody's New Year's aside from you being on your deathbed again,
rad Rob, I'm proud to say that I spent my thirty nine year
old ass with my dog sitting watching football and playing online casinos with my buddy
at the house and then worked at ten but actually got to watch the Times
Square ball drop on television for the first time in a decade, So that
was awesome. Or you usually are too smacked up? Or how's that working?
Like usually the live show is not it's not the same, And I
mean, oh, oh you're you're a legist, guys, that's I mean,
oh, son of a beast that New Year and you're like, funk
off it's nine right right that ship, So I can't welcome back. It's
cool to watch the ball drop on the East Coast again. Good thing you
didn't live in England well or Australia, right, what happened to day before
they start? Like they start like twelve hours prior to That's what I had.
That was my issue with Y two K, And I was like,
shouldn't Australia have blown up by now and like sunk in to the freaking like,
you know, the the bottom of the freaking Indian Ocean or whatever.
It's true because they were showing like all around the world just in case.
Every time. I remember Paris having the Eiffel Tower thing, and I was
like, is that supposed to happen? Or is this ship really gonna blow
up? Because we got plenty of freaking warning now is that actually a good
I think it's on Netflix. There's a y two K thing that just came
out about the computer that was supposedly predicted everything, so check that out.
I believe it's on Netflix. Rob. I think that computer gave you the
virus that makes you sick all the time. That's that's a good point.
So casually, so casually, like I'm a jerk about it, and he's
just so subtle. I feel like it just ward jed left she did.
It's fantastic. It's kind of like you just said, genastic. I can't
help it. It's gantastic. Liberty, liberty. I know you guys are
big sports fans. I'd actually like your opinion on if Florida State should actually
fielded a good team or not, and if they're being just cry baby bitches.
Johnny I'll start with you. Oh, you're you're referencing the sixty three
to three route because they because they sat, it was sixty three or was
it even more. I'm not even sure it might it was sixty three to
three. It was okay, So I don't ever know. I don't know
enough about college about college football. All I kept hearing was they sat,
or they benched, like eleven of their starters and or for what reason?
Was it? Again? They were pissed off that they didn't make They were
protesting not making the playoff the playoffs, Yeah, playoffs. Oh yeah,
so they're being bitches. Oh and that is so I didn't see. I
didn't know that. I think they did it. I think they did it
because Georgia would have crushed them regardless, like Georgia would have smoked them.
They probably would, they Johnny, they sat their players because they were pissed
off they didn't make the playoff selection and they were just going to complain about
while Georgia was professional as always went out there and played it because it is
a bowl game, it is on national television, and you know that's what
you do. You play the fucking game. Well, what would you think
if you're a scout, if you're an NFL scout, and you're like,
these guys aren't going to fucking like so for some of these guys, they're
last fucking college game. So here's the thing. I don't think any normal
coach would even want to endoor you. I did. I got a feeling.
I got a feeling that maybe they were doing, yeah, the protest,
but like because they knew Georgia was going to bury him, because the
Florida state has a couple of guys that are that can go pro soon.
I mean, maybe they were just like, you know what, let's sit
this one out. This is against a big dog. I don't want to
get beat the shit out of. And maybe this is just it's like it's
like it's like not being when you're a six and five team and not playing
in the freaking you know, the uh the tiny Bowlman Bowl or something like
that. John, let me give you a little bit of context. I
have enough context to tell you right now that I don't really care what the
situation is. I don't either, But they were in a bowl game,
like, I mean, nobody ever plays to make it to the AFC Championship
game. And then throws it and they were top five team. I mean
that's the other thing. I mean, nobody throws a bowl game. It's
still money for the school. Well it's it's money for the program, right
it's and it's it's still somewhat for still just to win a bowl. But
if you start allowing teams to say, well, we're not going to play
the game because we don't like what you have to say the way that half
of this fucking world operates now, whereas if somebody bitches about something, you
have to cater to it. If you start doing that, football is going
to become a fucking joke, just like calf in this country right now.
For me, it's just it's absolutely grotesque to have somebody who's a college kids,
let's say, as a senior, in his last game ever, he's
he's gonna enter the draft next year, and it will always be remembered as
the kid or the guy that was a member of the eleven that sat in
protest because they were upset with the ranking system, and Georgia has announced it
that that's where they sat or were they just like, oh, we're injured,
like I did they do that? No, they complained for three straight
days. We saw that, but I don't know that they would maybe someone,
Oh, I'm not sure Georgia was in the same position. They went
from number one tours five for one, lost to Alabama. No, but
my point is no, But they think we're stupid, is what it is.
They were like, they were good, they were gonna. They're not
not going, we're protesting. They're going, Oh, I got a bum
knee out of nowhere, basically, So I'm gonna sit this one out.
And I'm not doubting that the polls were a little bit skewy. And I'm
looking at the Chad's comment because he's exactly right. And by the way,
uh, good luck at Team trials, Chad that that was one of our
topics for later on in the show. But yeah, we're not I'm not.
I I totally think that Florida State did get snubbed. I mean again,
I don't know enough about it. I don't know strength to schedule,
I don't know the difference in the power rankings or any depth like a lot
of sports guys do. So anybody here wants to chime in. Obviously,
you know Roger has got a lot of knowledge on it, but Where the
hell was I even going with that power rankings and Power Rangers and yeah,
Popeyes, which is based trying to get at the point that I don't necessarily
agree with the fact that they didn't make it to the to the football playoff.
I'm so I do understand that. Also, Jim, No, I'm
in my sister's bedroom at mom and Dad's house. It looks like a hotel
room. Dude, Seriously, it looks like like you you you met,
You're in the suite of the hotel room. This is my sister's old bedroom.
She actually hand drew that thing on the wall, the bowling ball and
the pin. Is that what that is? You lay next to a lamp.
You've known Johnny and Johnny's death for how long? You've never been doing
the house? I'm sure if he has, he's never been in my sister's
room. Rob, well, let's just say no, that's terrible, that's
stupid. Throw you people, cripes. I'm glad you're back in Jersey and
so's peak. How thanks guys. She is in Clark Summit, Pennsylvania next
week. What's up with Mike val Is he living in Like every every weekend
he posts like val podcast. I mean every every week, every week,
and he posts like he's in Jersey. But I thought he moved to Florida.
I don't keep tabs on him that much. You'd have to ask him.
I thought you guys were tight. I know that with him being in
Florida that I know he travels home at least once a month because his daughter's
here. That's true. And I do see him randomly when he's here.
But other than that, you know, no, I haven't changed his diapers
in quite some time. Okay, maybe I'll text him later. I like
the random bumping in him, like at the wall when he's like, hey,
Mike, good to see you. See you later. Powell. All
right, I'm stalling because I haven't done any research this week. But apparently
we got a lot of stuff going on. We got the RPIs going on,
which mister Clark is at he that's why he can't be here this week.
We also have the Team USA trials, So Johnny, have you been
following any of that this week? No? Good has? You know?
I was deep into the holidays and the new year, and the only thing
I'm kind of upset about is, you know, I am used to being
in Vegas when all this is going on. So I have a lot of
a lot of friends that are in Vegas right now and me not being there.
I have a little bit of a little bit of depression over it.
Is this your besides the winter? Is this your first angst of like,
ah, man, I kind of wish I was back over there because I
know, like the winter ain't treating you too well because you're used to perfect
weather every Are you missing Vegas this time of your Johnny, Yes and no,
obviously the I mean, Vegas just became home over the last decade.
But I so I do miss it. But in the same respect, I
kind of like like the smell of snow again, and I like the changing
of the seasons. That's what makes you appreciate the damn warmer weather. And
you know it's the bugs have been that bad. So everything's okay here,
And everything's even more okay because Evelyn's back here now that's true and there's no
fucking tree fronts. My life is enriched. And and he didn't post this,
but she now hits the cutoff. Man, It's it was like,
officially, she totally hits the changing of seasons is why MENI left Jersey.
That's uh, yeah, that's that's a good point. I missed he walked
it all winter. That doesn't make any sense. I missed the snow.
We don't get in here in Tennessee very often, but we do. My
daughter loves it. She goes crazy, she goes out and fucking plays all
day. But we get more ice here than we do snow, which sucks.
And they don't know how to prepare the roads because they have no budget.
There's no plows down there. There's not even salt for crying out loud
if it snows there or even has an ice thing. It's freaking Uh.
It's a four week shutdown. Well between Popeyes is close and men. You're
like, oh my god, we're not Georgia. It's not that bad we
have I was literally referring to Georgia. That's because it's literally Georgia does shut
down for a week. They do. It's true. I've seen it.
Let's go over the what we get the Senior RPI. Is that what's going
on here, Johnny? Yeah, you got the Regular Regional Players Invitational and
the Senior RPI going on congruent lee and along with a team USA trials going
on right down the road at the Goald gruently good job with Aren't I a
senior? Can I get in these tour Why was my invite? Man?
Because I qualify. Now you're a junior. Now you're not a senior yet
I'm a d R and a senior. That's well, that's a good point.
Nate Garcia a friend of the show. He is actually in the RPI
this week. He was. I like their channel, Nate and least because
they actually live stream all the tournaments that they're in. So if you guys
ever want to see what goes on in a tournament, Yeah, it's a
fun watch. Actually, what's Chuck? Richie does a lot too, voice
of Bowle TV, Friend of the show as well. We have a lot
of friends on the show, but I don't have any actual friends in real
life. That's figure that one out. Thanks, thanks so much. That's
nice. I mean, just just we're true to remember, we're unfettered man
like we we we we uh, we do cutting edge stuff. Let's go
over the top twelve after six games, it's still early on. We got
Dan Noleton leading. This is the senior r P I list true, Yes,
the senior I would qualify then. Stephen Smith is in second. Eugene
McCune, father of Kevin mckune, the fast throwing righty that we saw come
of age last year. The TV mcewne is also the fast throwing righty who
bore Indiana wet. I just like to grow up in Munster, Munster,
Indiana. Yeah, that's that's great. Well, Rob Wood, you herman
or or cheese. I was going with the cheese too. Yeah. I
wasn't even thinking of the monsters. That's a good one, Johnny. I
was thinking the town's thanks. Uh, you guys are on fire today.
Man. In fourth, we got Tony Franklin, we got Charles Ferrell and
fifth, Michael Ritz in sixth, Rich Corwin and seventh, Rick Mentley in
eighth, Sean Hornberger in ninth, Gerald Vertigan in tenth. It's got Kritchfield
in eleventh and Michael Kendy in twelfth. I don't see uh, Troy Michael
Candy. Do we know Troy's balling this week? I haven't had a chance
to talk to him yet, neither have I. Chuck, do you have
any information on that or anybody else that's out there? Chuck, Chuck Boat
Buck Banana fanafoh Man. Never mind, he's aid the Patternger soft, it's
a strike fest. Well that's good. Actually, well, if they're in
the South Point Plaza, that's that's kind of understandable. I mean the Plaza.
If you can get into groove in that building, you will literally strike
for days. That's where I uh, that's where I averaged two seventy two
and a half for that the the Lucky Seventh Tournament in his own I mean,
I'm sure there's gotta be someone when you go five hundred over for seven
games by Roger think about I want you to think about, But did you
getn't win by two? You know what I'm saying, No, but you
did when you win, when you win against the field like that and the
closest guy to you is one hundred behind you over eight games, you know.
But yes, And then the guy behind him was one hundred and fifty
pens by the end of it, So you had one other guy that bowled
sensationally, he was still a hundred behind me. But there's a real big
difference between being in a groove and being in a groove and being on a
condition with the perfect ball. Just everything suited for you, Like for instance,
I guarantee the game's changing a little bit more so now, But there
was a period of time for a pretty long time where when eight hundreds were
becoming more often than just like once every you know, eight or nine months,
somebody bowls an eight hundred like it was in the seventies. So I'm
talking like from nineties to the present. If you asked one hundred people when
they bowled eight hundred, how much did you move your feet throughout the course
of the three game set a board, times are going to tell you it's
it's less than two boards with their feet. Now, that may be different
now because people go through a lot of different bowling balls, even in one
league session. I know I do it myself too. It's kind of the
changing of the guard. But most people when they lock into eight hundred,
they're in a they're virtually doing the same thing. They're they're just on like
repeating, You've repeat the exactly and so when you don't have any additional things
to worry about as far as what's going on with the lanes or the head's
going away, or what ball I'm going to go to and this goes away,
that building allows you to stay in the same spot a lot longer,
including the right side of the lane, and it favors two kinds of games,
people that either go dead up the lane or people that can completely circle
the lane with soft ball speed. So whatever patterns are out there, I'm
sure both the senior guys and the regular touring players are gonna maul him over
in that building. Thanks Steph. That's badass. Hey, ste what's going
on? Good? I don't I don't know necessarily what that means. Maybe
maybe the regional maybe he has two high credentials or something that's a good point.
Maybe he does well good that means, uh, you know, like
myself can get in, you know, given my status and you know I
just bowled, you know, over a six hundred series. Finally, Ray,
what's going on? He's part of the Fire Up Sports Network. Helly
ready he played inside of that. I remember just give Ray an Ultimate Inferno
up ten Gary Budra and the Ultimate Inferno. My god, Oh yeah,
he's another Ultimate Inferno. I saw him recently a couple of years ago,
and I didn't reckon. I wasn't paying attention, and he's like, dude,
what's going on? I was like, hey, hey man, and
he was like, it's Bouder and I was like, oh my god,
you got You kicked everybody's ass for freaking years on the Cleaners League, and
I mean kicked everybody's ass just piping it forward roll. Well, was he
a little more earl Anthony kind of almost like he just right up? I
don't remember. Yeah, Boudri could hook the whole lin. Well, you
didn't have to because he only strut. He had a very very strong,
but gentle wrist. Maybe that's what it was. I also knew nothing about
bowling when he bowled, So that's the other thing. Uh, Chad says,
wonder what would happen to trials today if you USBC took on the same
rule for your thing as the TVA did. Lots of Purple's were bending lanes
today. Yeah, I mean, again, it's it's gonna be a different
world with the with the lane breakdown at the professional level as compared to everything
else. But again it's we're gonna see when it happens. And of course
they would have broken down differently if you take that element out of play,
which is the most altering variable that we actually have in the game is the
consumption or the movement of oil from the euthane play, and especially from multiple
angles, multiple speeds, multiple surface changes on those on those euthane balls,
the integrity of the oil pattern itself is completely you know, it's there is
no integrity in the oil pattern anymore. So once you take that away,
you'll see lanes not be blended as quickly. I would assume you won't see
the heads go as quick you won't see mega crazy tightening down lane. But
again we so yes, my answer to what Chad just said is yes,
it would absolutely have changed the pace. I don't know how much it would
have changed the score, but it would have changed the lane play itself for
the block. And as we all know, as the tournament progresses, the
further you get into the tournament, the lanes already typically tighten up down lane
more and more so. Keeping that in mind in a place like the South
Point Plaza, which is already already known for having very very tight, tight
back ends and getting tighter as they goes on, it could make for an
interesting back half of the tournament. So there's a lot of games left,
though, I think they have two more six games, two more six game
blocks. You guys have Chad, you can throw that in there if you
want. You can check out the schedule we gotta it's all over bowl dot
com. But yeah, if you have that info here, send it in
the chat. Can ask a stupid question, Johnny regarding the Team USA trials.
There's no stupid questions, Rob, just stupid. Well, that's that's
true. I thought I thought the team has already picked. Are these for
like alternate slots or what's what's I don't even know how the whole system works
for what? Yeah, the Team USA. I don't really know either A
good I know that there's I know that there's a I want to say,
maybe the top six in each division. And then I think there's a couple
of captains picks if I'm not mistaken, which is based off, you know,
their judgment or their belief of who the best additions to the team are.
I know each day of competition they go on a points tally and it's
similar. It's it's similar to golf where you want the lower number because it's
based off your finish each day. So I'm euch a different pat and let's
say like Brandon Bone for example, because we know he's out there. There
you go twelve bowlers, top four taken on top amateur, and then and
then by committee there thanks chat. But like, for instance, if Brandon
Bone goes out there and on the five qualifying gays or the four qualifying days,
he goes out and he finishes first, third, fifth, eighth,
he acquires only the points for the place that he finished. His numbers around
ten or eleven. Gotcha. Yeah, So usually if you say keep it
under forty points over the course of experment, you're usually in contention, at
least to the best of my knowledge of what I've seen and observed. When
we had Team USA trials at sunset, when I had my store there with
bowlers, Okay, all right, good deal. I wasn't sure about that.
Thank you everyone for giving it for RATIONI I didn't know Ifcha was gonna
get a first or Steph was going to get it first. They're always right
on the ball. There Dan Young pulling for Galinski as well. I saw
that was having a had a good first day. I think he was sitting
in second place behind another good friend of mine, Deron Booker. So'd be
really nice to see those two guys especially, I mean Doron doesn't live in
Vegas, but he's certainly close enough to Vegas because he's always out there for
at least the bigger tournaments. But obviously Japeters, you know, living right
outside of Vegas. And Newson who doesn't want so I really like to see
him have a couple more strong pas and wear the red, white and blue.
That'd be awesome. Guys and girls and whatever you identify as. I
will have the poll for imbecile the year up next week. With the sickness
and all that, I just didn't feel like doing anything. So is it
possible that Don King ripped off the Brunswick logo? By the way, I'm
just saying, like, I don't know, shouldn't we do? Like some
there's I bet you there's some definitions they're missing that there. I know it,
but it's still I'm sure there's still some copyright discrepancy. So I know
we only got three. It doesn't matter he can't count. Well, we
know Chris Jericho ripped off Oo's name, So there's there's has been indie fed
hack a w hasn't ripping off the grapplers for five years now, with proof,
with proof, you had the dark romance. We had the episode.
It's proved the Dark Order was was copying and guys, and now our numbers
stole our physiques. Chris Jericho has literally called himself THEO now, which is
I mean, he can't say doctor because he's just an indie fed has been.
That's true, He's not not a doctor. Yes, that's so.
I'm glad you guys actually acknowledge that it's not time for the Imbecile of the
Week yet. But I just want to throw that out there. Although we're
gonna have a good one, Johnny, because you're gonna get fired up over
this one. It's it's about you, So I can't wait to unveil that
at the end of the show. Yeah, well yeah, it's literally about
you. Yeah. Is it gonna get me fired up? Like fired up
sports? Oh? I get it, man, this guy is a marketing
genius. Fucking a. We're literally we're on fire tonight, not not literally
temperature like Michael Jackson caught his hair on fire. Getting back to the league
night, Johnny, you you bowled several leagues. How are you bowling lately?
Not? Not really good? I mean actually I've been bowling fine,
I'm bowling with a lot more confidence since my good finish at Mike's tournament.
But last night, I you know I'm gonna I'd like to shoot on Ballero
for a little while for for last time before you do get in That uh
check out is from kinderdip oh Man, what a great Sorry, Hello,
sorry for bothering you. I want to offer a promotion of your channel,
viewers, followers, views, chat bots as there. The price is lower
than any competitor. The quality is guaranteed to be the best, flexible and
Givenian order management panel, chat panel, everything in your hands, turn it
on and off. Go to stream this guy. Now, why would we
do that if they're going to pay us less than everybody else. I'm also
simulcasting on my Twitch channel and trice is lower than any competitor. We don't.
We're not gonna You're not going to pay us lower. That's absurd.
Can I block these fires anyway? Get back to the me. Yeah,
no, that's all. It's all your fault. Go ahead, Johnny,
you want to rip on Butler as we did last week? What do you?
Uh what? I'm the most patient person in the world. Are you
really really really am you really have to be a real piece of ship to
get me worked up. I've seen it like nothing. Nothing bothers me at
all. I give it chilli, I give everybody the benefit of the doubt
all the time. Almost to a fault. Last night a league at good
old Brunswick Zone, Carolier, would you need to put up the de lern
or No, it's nothing like that. I'm just gonna vy because I never
event. I feel like venting. That's good, I'm gonna event. I'm
looking forward to it. Thirty nine and forty at Brunswick Zone, Carolier.
No, no, no, yeah, runs sorry, sorry, go ahead,
No, it's good, good, you're done. No, okay.
So every single time you get up on lane thirty nine when you shoot a
spare at marks that you missed it. So the menu button on the left
lane of the scoring table doesn't work, so you have to wait until you're
fleeing. Your screen flips to the other lane, so you could change the
score to fix it. But you can't change the score on the right lane
on the fortieth lane because the menu button or the other button doesn't work that
on that scoring Jesus. So hence you either have to not even shoot your
fill ball, yet then either you did that was the other problem. So
I go up through the desk and say to them, can you send somebody
down to maybe look at the scoring table, And they're like, we don't
have anybody, but we can fix the score for you up here. Now
the desk of Carolier is on like fifteen and sixteen, so it's short enough
walk, but it's a fucking annoying walk when you're bowling a doubles league and
I have to go up and I have to tell them to switch the arrows
and fix this. Do that. Then sure enough we get up in the
tenth frame and leave a seven pin and uh, my leadoff misses the seven
pin of the tent. So now I'm staring at her seven pin and it's
on my name and I can't anyway. Long story short, I think I
may have said that backwards. Oh yeah, I'm sorry. She had made
the spare and it marked her that she had missed it, so I couldn't
even go back in a race. The misspare to turn into a regular spare
so she could throw her fillball was thirty ninth lane or the fortieth lane.
Fortieth, So I go back up to the desk, and I said,
so now I need the arrows back on her name and I need this setback
up and next thing, you know, after like the fourth trips on,
I said, so, basically, you're not going to send anybody. No,
we don't have anybody. Can you move us? No, there's no
lanes to put you anywhere because there's parties on the low end and the entire
downstairs. Every score out and be like ninth spare ninth frame what now listen
having to keep score by hand, and I'm I'm just sitting here saying,
this is your they it's again, I'll look at the business side of it.
But from the bowlers standpoint, bowling in a center like that, it's
just not fucking fun anymore. The you are just completely when you treat your
customers like they're completely worthless to your livelihood, which maybe we are at this
point with Bolerro's future system or whatever they got going on, but either way,
it's ugly to be a bowler in their fucking bowling centers. And I
can't stand it. And it really like thing where you're figuring it out.
So that's a good point. Literally, don't know any porter, it's real
quick and then I'll be done going back to the road. I am not
drinking anymore, so I actually don't know the prices of the bar now,
but when I was it, Uh, you definitely don't go to a bolero
if you want to get get even buzzed, because you're gonna have to bring
a half a paycheck there to do it. I just can't believe they don't
have any porters there at all that could just run in back, or any
mechanics that can anybody that could do anything with the center that large. Yeah,
hey got one of my good longtime friends, Nicole, is the bartender
downstairs, a Caroleier, and she's also the bartender. Thankfully, she's so
good at what she does. She she's and and and her league bowlers are
so loyal to her that they understand that it's just her. But she tends
the bar, she takes the food orders, and she runs out and waitresses
and delivers the drinks and the food. I mean, I can't even imagine
how hard the kid has to work while she's there, because if I mean
thirtieth entire bowling alley, you're handling everybody by yourself. It's not like the
alley isn't full, like that's a thing. So that's not like you can't
accommodate. What is eighty lanes or something like that. They got how many
do they have? Eighty two? I was, yeah, I was way
off, But no, seriously, that's like you're you're setting yourself up for
failure because not having somebody to just at least prepare the scoring. I mean,
there's no there's no way you're gonna go without a glitch, and to
not have the staff to even do it is a is a pretty big kick
to the nuts when any bowling alley, any thirty lane bowling alley, is
at least staffed for the most part for mechanics, the bar, the scoring,
you know from what I know, but your first true indication of what
Ballero might be doing, then I know. Mechanics are very short lived right
now, There's there's not many left. There's a lot, I mean again,
which is why they're going to string ends because they don't want to employ
any mechanics because there's no need for them. Their whole business model, their
their whole emphasis on their business model has nothing to do with what we know
bowling as right, and like we we'll bitch about this all day. But
I guess the truth of the matter is, I think is Balero, according
to their stocks, it is not doing horribly. No, they're not anything.
They're actually doing okay, and they were up last week. I know
that there is some employees that I've actually spoken to there they do. I
know, Kyle Lear does quite a business. I know me as an outsider,
you know, from my perspective, I'm like, I see this massive
redemption arcade. I never see anybody in it. I see overpriced bowling lanes
and overpriced shoes, but the bowling alley's never fully But I do see a
lot of corporate parties. Right, do you see a full house of leagues
downstairs five nights a week. I do see an operating pro shop. I
mean so. But but again it's it's all the little nitpicky things that you
know as bowlers, you know, we we we're just used to it a
little bit differently, But all in all, it caters to an agenda completely
offline with the way a bowler perceives a bowling center should be. Maybe this
is the start of what we're looking for. Like we said, hey,
maybe the maybe they're onto something. Maybe they have this wonderful idea that it'll
be presented over the next five years. But maybe this is the start of
their idea, and it's like well through the lower guy once again and marking
them out because maybe they know people. They'll still get their corporate parties.
Possibly I don't know, man or again, it's just a write off for
some rich dude that is already sitting in his CEO spot and he's like,
if this takes a loss, we pay no taxes, and I'll be damn.
I'll guarantee there's a few of those bowling alleys that are going to be
tax right off, just as simple as was mentioned last week by I forgot
who it was in our chat that they have sold off a lot of property
recently, so you know, it is an investment for them. I don't
necessarily think they're that invested in bowling, which again to me, they shouldn't
own the PBA that they're not going to do anything to promoted or grow it
or build it. But that's just why never when all those MMA promotions came
out like elite XC and they had all these investors and then like they just
dropped off the earth and the UC absolved them or something like. It's it's
kind of like that, like you had to millions and millions of dollars and
they put on two events and one guy wouldn't make weight, and then all
of a sudden, the whole promotion is shut down. It's a it's a
it's a bunch of rich people playing like, you know, hey, let's
have a game of monopoly, but it's real money and it's not ours,
but it's theirs, and again he'll do whatever we want. Was a name
like bowl Arrow, you think they'd be invested in bowling, but they just
change their name to we don't bowl arrow, or we don't care about bowl
Arrow or whatever Carrow, we don't care. I like that. With the
Center, with as much rich history as Carelier, they have no clue what
the history is there. That's no fucking clue. Yeah, or they don't
care honestly, which is sad. Where else do you bowl, Johnny?
Is it strictly career? No, I've bullet Howling's on Monday nights, I
billet Chocko's up and Scranton on Friday nights. And then uh, you know
whatever, torn American stuff for running or involved with with Sammy V or anything
up here that I could possibly bowl. I usually just ask Eric and stuff
or just go with them next fall. Could we possibly see you and the
Doctor Ocho join up on Thursday nights at Halloweens? No, why why not?
Can flix with my my schedule and unless something entirely different happens. Then
Ocho shook his head. No why I like to hear this. We don't
like each other because it could flick with his schedule. That's why Wednesdays were
good. Okay, all right, I just thought you put this podcast together,
and now here we are. I thought it'd be epic to see you
guys bowl together. You would never see us ball together. We'd be bowling.
You ain't gonna call you. You'll have a freaking hangnail or something like
that. You promise everybody will show up and then you'll, oh, I
guess what happened? I got my finger? Are caught in the freaking mayonnaise
jar. That's thirty true, but that's thirty Mine happens all the time too.
The blue cheese and the mayonnaise jar always bad. It's time for everybody's
favorite segment. Hey, you guys, don't set just ring your call button
and Tommy'll come back there and hit you on ahead with a tack hammers,
you know, Lloyd, Just when I think you couldn't possibly beat any dummers,
here's the imbecile of the week. Some people are really stupid before we
get to the embuscile of the week. And this actually this week's embassile the
week comes from the comments on our YouTube channel. If you guys here on
Facebook are not subscribed to our YouTube channel, what the fuck? Like?
We literally doing it for like a year and a half now. Uh,
it is a straight up five podcast on YouTube, which we are. Actually
we got just about as many people watching YouTube right now as we do Johnny's
Facebook page. That's that's good, Thank you everybody. But before you get
into this jackass here, I should just call him the jackass in the week
because it's it's really more uh uh more accurate to describe the funk head we
got tonight. But let's go through some of the comments. Mister I'm sorry,
doctor, mister Ocho, there's no mister d K canees canies can canoe
anyway, he's uh has a lot of comments, all right, Dick knows
rights. Uh he has a lot of comments. I just want to shut
him out. These are these are one of our one of our few loyal
viewers here on YouTube, watching us and very much. Uh oh, I
live about fifty miles out of Chicago. We have lost a ship ton of
houses. Shipload of houses different than a ship ton. I don't know the
exact number where I bowl leagues the owners of businessman he doesn't even bowl.
And he also had a little bit of criticisms about using the lord's name in
vain. But uh, you know that's we've had there from somebody else on
the channel as well. So depending on who your lord is, so well,
I mean that's true. He also commented someone needs to produce a John
Maslem movie. I know Hollywood would most likely do it. He had some
fantastic stories. I can't I can't argue with that one hit the flip in
rosin which I don't know what that means. Hold on, is he the
only one that's commenting ly He's like one of the three people that come in
all right. I was like, man, that sucks that. He's just
damn it. I was hoping to see like a few people extra. But
I do like this. This advice here. If your opponent ticks you off,
lun punched the bastard, that's that's actually sound advice. I do.
I do condemne doing that. No, I'm sorry. Here's another great topic.
If you had kids, who would you recommend them to emulate? Oh
Joe, you can kind of answer that one me in everything kidding me fair,
that's fair, he says, Yes, Simon was a beast, but
how long can his back, left hip and knee with stan his style he
gets, the lower the line, it hurts my back watching him me personally,
I love to throw it like Chris Praither, my favorite golfer. Well,
he's really just touched on everything. My favorite golfer to watch was Freddy
Couples. Even to this day, both looks so effortless. Smoothest swing ever,
God, dang it, smoothest swing ever. Ain't con murdered the ball.
Oh boy, Riggles said, I hope your back is doing better,
Johnny. That was five days ago, Thanks Riggs. How is your back,
Jonathan good? I'm still waiting to find is there an imbecile here somewhere?
Oh yes, yeah, I'm just shouting out our one, our one
super fan that we have here that comments and all our videos a lot of
good comments. I've never even seen him before, Riggs says, Johnny,
I want you to bowl on certifiable string pin setters and tell us what you'd
find. I know you will tell it like you see it, do a
video valley bowl. I think he still thinks you're in Vegas, which obviously
you're not. He said from Vegas, he only had the ways to Cedar
City, Utah. Well, what I'll do is I'll find out if the
string pinner said at a string pin setter laying at Reveries and Howell is certified.
Because if it is, I can always take a video from there.
That's a good point. And I think they've had him for quite a while,
so I'm just gonna throw it out there. I'll find out what the
closest one is. I know I would happily do that. Dick No says
I never used the big red whiffle bat. I love that game. I
threw a nasty knuckleball, slider and curveball. Okay, christ that's christ Goo's
tough here. Last one from him. I'm lost. Who is doctor Ocho
and why did he always wear a mask? Don't worry about it. I'm
the guy that has these that you don't, and I'm not even in freeing.
Okay, that's the impasi. I don't want to throw him out there.
Yeah, I think I do plicet that one. Oh he had some
Actually, Dick No is a nice guy, but he don't have these and
our show starts in eighteen seconds. Boys, he can't. Apparently he's got
some audio advice for you. Oho oh oh, this is on the John
maza U either. No, this is not the Bob Learned show. He
loved it, but he thinks we should ask more simple, to the point
questions. I don't think we actually ask anything convoluted, but yeah, I
don't know. Thanks Bro, Uh and Ojo, you need to get a
microphone or you need to take off the mask for the shows. Uh,
try to even out mi gaing across the board. I have to keep adjusting
the volume of my monitors. Are you guys hard wired through Cat six Ethernet
or using Wi Fi? Yeah? I know we had some trouble, oh
Joe at your house with your signal going out, but seems to have corrected
itself in the last few weeks. You don't have that problem anymore. So
I'm wondering it was one time, maybe twice time a couple of weeks Lane
thirteenth and fourteenth. All right, Johnny, are you ready for the imbussle
of the week. Oh we didn't get there yet. He's mute. Yeah,
he's I don't blame him. I'm confused on what just happened. But
yeah, I was just shouting out some of the comments from Thank you our
viewers, Thank you Dignos for all your comments. There was so much good
ship there. I mean, I'd like to actually answer some of his questions.
We can if you want to. Let's well, let's do it next
time. In that whole seven minutes, I'm like, where's the imbecile and
everything? That's because you stepped aside and you didn't hear what and I were
discussing discussed. I don't remember it either. It's like, so shows the
embecile come on? Wow, rapes Wow. This week's week comes straight from
our YouTube channels. It is at Jeffrey Boring forty four to ten. My
dad, my dad would suck living under a shadow your whole life. I'd
get tired of saying it. Wait, my dad, my dad, Wait,
what does it say my dad, my dad, I would suck living
under a shadow. What I don't know. I think he's paying him a
compliment, isn't he Yeah, it's it could be take I see why Rob
thinks it could be condescending, but to me, it's not. Well,
God, damn it not. I'm gonna pick somebody else. No, I
mean, well, no, what they got the guys. The guy's saying,
it's something self deprecating, right, Like I would see he's saying,
Jesus, every time somebody talks to you, Johnny, he gets guys,
it's gotta be. But how's your dad? Your dad did this right,
right, gotta get fucking annoying after a while. And uh, even though
I was an asshole, but he's not. He's a great guy. I
guess the way I took is you're always talking about your dad, your dad.
You know he's the fucking greatest anyway. No, No, I don't
think he does. I think people ask him about his dad and that's what
happens. Yeah, typically it's it's usually one of the in certainly in the
bowling world. But you know, I expect that, I mean, why
would it be. Doney starts in forty eight seconds. By the way,
I can't wait. And to be quite honest, I don't mind living under
the shadow of a world famous professional bowler. It's kind of cool. So
something that a lot of people will get to experience. I guess I'm off
my game chopped up the way there. Well, we can go back and
make that other asshole to commented earlier, who was nobody was an asshole?
No, this guy here. Oh well, we don't know who kindergarten cop
is, so let's just to me. Doc Sullivan is still a fucking asshole.
So I mean, I like Jim Rodgers' idea of bowling a match on
the string pins. Maybe we'll do that for well, I apologize for a
shitty and of the week. That's that's that. We don't you know what,
Maybe it's our new Year's resolution. We don't want to ship on anybody.
Oh no, I do. I'm actually, like I said, I
can see how people can take that as like a negative comment there, but
I didn't necessarily kindred tp is. It's so the paper that's obvious. Dam
Chad Murphy is always that's it's too easy. It's low hanging fruit. We
can't do that. Chad Murphy would be the amples of the week every week
for the rest of his life and probably even in the afterlife too. Like
Doc Sulloman, cocksucker, you got anything else, guys, because I want
to go to bed. No, man, you go right out to bed
again. Very happy New Year to everybody. I hope you enjoyed twenty twenty
four. Hope it's a good year for you. I'm sure we'll have more
important things to talk about next week. I successfully made it through the Facebook
scrolling of seeing eight hundred people say as the fear comes to a clothes,
I just make sure that I get a couple of things off my chest as
I jump into twenty twenty four, And oh god, so I literally just
that was my resolution for the year. Get past all of the I'm jumping
into twenty twenty four to set the these go go fuck yourself. I've been
trying to achieve. Go I try. I'm gonna take care of me from
here on out, keep moving forward. Every so I go to the gym
every day of my goddamn life. I don't need to go there on fucking
January first. I don't need to. I am going into this year with
a clear head, Just get the fuck out of here, go be grown
up and be awesome. New Year knew me. Yeah, that's uh,
that's whatever it does. Do guy, the guy who just wrote Brad Miller
player of the Year. By the way he said new Year knew me.
Just just an fyi. If Brad Miller is the Player of the Year this
year, that means the Jets will be the Super Bowl champions next year?
Oh shit, too soon? Maybe not, maybe not aa Ron may come
back, who knows. Speaking of which, what the fuck happened to the
Eagles? They were dominant early and they just seem to suck now they're just
not on an NFL is parody. That's what freaking Tangla Boo wanted. I
think even Pete rosel would plan b free agency wanted parody. We got Buffalo
on fire. They'll have the one like the last six games to try to
make the playoffs. You know what's funny. So if the Steelers win and
the Bills lose, the Steelers will go Now Buffalo. If they get in,
they could win the Super Bowl like that's there's no doubt about it.
They can literally when they could run the table because nobody in the agency is
even doing anything besides Baltimore. There's now like I know, I mean now
with with all world quarterback Nason Rudolph, maybe they have a ship to at
least game one. Who do you guys want to see win the Super Bowl?
Out that'll be I would say I'll be done after this. But who
do you want to see win the Super Bowl? I'll say Buffalo? Yeah,
I want to say Buffalo just for the fans, like, because they've
been doing enough shit, right, I mean losing what three in a row?
Four in a row? I mean, are they losing that one time?
Out? The four straight? Four straight? They got freaking lost.
But Scott norwoodfield goal twenty to nineteen against the Giants. Then it was thirty
seven to twenty four when Therma Thomas lost his freaking helmet, and then it
was like fifty seven to something when leon Lett for you know, uh Don
Beebee whacked the ball out of leon Let's hand, and then it was third
to thirteen against Dallas again, although they were up thirteen to ten at the
half, but then Dallas came on and that was when Troy Yigman doesn't have
any recollection of the game because he got banged up against the forty nine ers
the week before. Fact check me. I know I'm right about twenty to
nineteen. I know the twenty four, fifty seven to twenty twenty one something
like that, and then it was definitely thirty to thirteen. I might be
wrong about the last one. Also, I think thirty to thirteen. Is
Lamar Jackson really that good? Like I know he had five touchdowns this last
week, but I mean, and he's not a bad player. He just
he doesn't do he doesn't win big games. He doesn't off check goddam it,
he doesn't win the big games on the NFC side, I'm looking for
san Franz. I let's see brock party go all the way. I really
do. I think you're giving me two answers. Very nice, Yeah,
what about you, Johnny. I want to see the Browns. Joe Flocker
was a good story. Right now, I'd like to see the Browns make
it to their first Super Bowl and win it. Joe fifty two to seventeen,
All right, So I got I got are scary right now? Who
I'm sorry, they're they're peaking. They're so scary. Yeah, now that
they're at the right time, like Miami had something to play for in the
for home field, and the Ravens just freaking them forgetting the jab Wars.
I like. I like Trevor Lawrence. I think he's cool. I like
him too, I like his flowing lops. Yeah, the problem is if
the Steelers winning, the Jags win, that knocks the Steelers out. So
we need the Jags to lose just in order so Buffalo can get in.
I think we often agree the Cowboys an't going to make a pass the first
round, so they do. They they'll just management to always use like sixty
three to three in the first round. Actually, well they might have to
buy this this year, depending on it. I think they'd right. Oh,
jos'sy, Well, well they're in first place now, I think they
are. They have a better division record, and they split with Philly,
right right, they both got did did Philly beat San fran or vice versa?
The San franc crushed Dallas? You know what, I don't know,
it's actually you know what it's it's probably it's gonna be division's first first head
to head then division anyway and doubt. Okay, so twenty to nineteen,
they lost Joe thirty seven to twenty four lost to the Redskins the Therma Thomas
game. Got that right? I got the fifty two right, I didn't
get it was fifty seventeen San fran beats Philly. Okay, thanks Mike,
So there you go. Uh. Fifty two seventeen was the game where Leon
let you know, had the right to the end zone and Don beabe and
then I was right again thirty to thirteen. You're really me being right?
Something's wrong with you? The Lions too, right? Did they got screw
again like they did every they did get screwed again? No, they did,
they did. They totally did. They totally did. The right guy
reported eligible and they and then the other guy said I'm not eligible, just
to clarify, which threw the reff off and said, okay. It's like
when Jerome Bennis called tails and Phil Luckett said he he said he that was
nineteen Yeah, Thanksgiving Dame was sixteen. All they lost nineteen sixteen. The
Charlie Batch and the Lions who became Steeler back up Charlie Batch. That might
be the very reason why they call headertails first, they have to do it
before it lands. You bet your big meaty bacteria in ass. That's true.
You're right about the Lions, Johnny. I would actually, but god
damn another fan base right that had sat through so much ship over the years,
like the Browns. I get it. Don Bebee you see that,
Dave wrote, it's kind of clever. Yes, it's clever. Yes,
we've done. Rob Jesus Christ. Just previewing the Bills and Dolphins gonna be.
You have a mustache. Bills and Dolphins are gonna be. Yeah,
that's a huge game to watch this weekend. I mean Miami, Look they
all right, So here's what it is for Miami. They're in any way,
No, they it be the two seed or the five seed. That
is a big difference in Miami being a warm weather team. They probably and
now Tyreek Hill's house is pretty warm. It's bad. It's terrible. Why
would I do that? I don't don't know. Do you want to explain
it then at least the joke. It's terrible. No, I don't know.
Okay, let you guys look it up. No, because Miami's known
for like Miami Tampa, they're known for like going in the cold weather areas
and not playing well. Correct. So if Miami's the fifth seed. You
know, they may have to travel to Baltimore or to I can't think anybody
else who's in the Kansas City. Ish. So Buffalo wins there, well,
eleven and six tenants, yes, no, no, no, no,
wait, Buffalo would lose. Oh yeah, that's right, they'd be
ten, they'd be eleven and six, eleven and six, and they'd get
the division if they win. Yes, which is fucked up because or there
or there could be out if Pittsburgh wins, wins and if and if the
Steelers played the Bills many times in a row, they'd win zero out of
twenty the Steelers, that is, you might be right. You may be
right with Mason Rudolph all World quarterback. You know, ou ja, who
would you like to see win Super Bowlisher? You Rob? Because I feel
like maybe you'll get some gys. I already said the Bells, say the
Bills. I'm sorry, okay, you picked the Browns. You guys don't
want pick anybody for the NFC, just for ships and giggles, and like
the said, who do you want to win the Super Bowl? You can't
pick two teams to win the Super Bowl? Only two? Because you did
I picked two late says out, Hi, Ray Fickle, please better clean
pair of shorts. Yeah, that movie wouldn't even I wouldn't even be able
to play today, just because of the ending of the of the movie.
He is still now Captain Winkie is pure comedy gold is comedy gold. But
I don't know how well that would play nowadays. Dude, they were way
ahead of the time there with with the trans movement and all that. I'm
just saying it wasn't nineteen ninety one or something like that, like Rave Think
Think and ihren Finkle. I think we can all agree we don't want Dallas
to win. I don't think they're not going to. Don't never win with
Dak Prescott just saying he's gonna win m v T er with that, I
think the next time I see Jacob Butcher, if I'm gonna steal his Cowboys
jersey, gonna I don't know. I just I just pictured him in a
ray Finkle jersey and it worked perfectly. I seriously think we got to get
him a ray Finkle jersey courtesy a straight up five podcasts. Get to the
art department, somebody will start forming it. Figured this out, all right,
I'm gone to fill a bus drink? Uh, Johnny O Joe,
great media order. Yeah, I can't even talk. Yeah, Meteoric show,
