Speaker 1: You look. You look like you look very positive.
Speaker 2: I didn't even know where we're recording yet, I probably
Speaker 2: should sit up straight and like look like a presentable
Speaker 2: human being.
Speaker 1: You look fine. I think you look nice.
Speaker 2: I think you look you look every single time I
Speaker 2: record this my day and I'm.
Speaker 1: Just like, you look, you look.
Speaker 2: God just get me through this except for today.
Speaker 1: Look positive today.
Speaker 2: Maybe this is what today. I have to do.
Speaker 3: Ariel show after this, so not the day is not over.
Speaker 1: How did Ariel take that game on Sunday night Baltimore.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize Baltimore that big of a lead in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter.
Speaker 2: I just went to bed. I now on Sunday night football,
Speaker 2: if I have no action, I just don't care. I'm like,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna watch Landman and go to bed.
Speaker 1: I don'ts I didn't know that James Madison covered until
Speaker 1: I got into work on Sunday because I think I
Speaker 1: left work and it was like, oh, man, like thirty
Speaker 1: four to three or something something like that.
Speaker 2: Were the Bears Packers game. So that's the only reason
Speaker 2: why I.
Speaker 1: Know we needed we really that was probably our worst
Speaker 1: we play, our worst game of the week was that
Speaker 1: we really needed the Packer, the Packers, and they blew
Speaker 1: that game.
Speaker 2: Obviously that everybody who plays the Bears blows the game.
Speaker 2: Do we not forget? That's what all they've done all
Speaker 2: season long is somehow exploit teams that just play soft
Speaker 2: prevent defense.
Speaker 1: I mean, like, are you wait a minute, are you
Speaker 1: trying to get all the Bears fans to continue hating you?
Speaker 1: Is that what you're doing?
Speaker 2: They already hated me. I can't wait to crack And
Speaker 2: I did a show. We talked about you a lot.
Speaker 2: Actually this week. We did a show yesterday and we
Speaker 2: both said on the show, we cannot wait. The number
Speaker 2: one team we cannot wait to bet against in the
Speaker 2: playoffs the Bears.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, let's talk about that. I actually want
Speaker 1: to I want to unpack this a little bit. You
Speaker 1: do this thing where you pick a team that you
Speaker 1: say is overrated, and you bet against them, and you
Speaker 1: bet against them, and you bet against them. When you
Speaker 1: finally win. Yeah, eventually the Bears will most slightly lose.
Speaker 1: I understand that teaser. Are you gonna like, are you
Speaker 1: gonna say, look, I was right the whole time when
Speaker 1: they finished like fourteen and three and losing.
Speaker 3: No, I already said I was wrong about their under.
Speaker 2: Eight and a half wins.
Speaker 3: They're gonna win the division.
Speaker 2: Congratulations to them for the first time in my lifetime.
Speaker 2: And then all I said was, like, you wait to
Speaker 2: bet against him in the playoffs. I had the Bears
Speaker 2: and teasers last week, so I did not care about
Speaker 2: hours old of that game.
Speaker 1: I think you hate the Bears. I think you hate
Speaker 1: the Bears. I think your anti Bears, your anti texting that.
Speaker 2: I think about it. I had both sides in that teaser.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I teased the Packers early in the week
Speaker 2: when the Bears were a favorite.
Speaker 1: Well, you're just so.
Speaker 2: I didn't even care. I didn't care the game.
Speaker 3: It did not matter. It did not matter.
Speaker 1: Well it mattered to us. That was probably our worst
Speaker 1: game of the week. We did We did pull some
Speaker 1: money back on Sunday with Detroit lost to Pittsburgh, Right, yeah.
Speaker 3: Pa, Sunday, that was your biggest need.
Speaker 2: And I had the Lions and teasers, so I took
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh plus seven and I half. But I didn't put
Speaker 2: a single solitary dollar on the money line because I said,
Speaker 2: if I do that, then Detroit's gonna win by one.
Speaker 3: And they almost won by one.
Speaker 1: We actually, yeah, they did. We actually did well on
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon, which was strange. Jacksonville beating Denver was good.
Speaker 1: The Raiders covered, which was good. I just there was
Speaker 1: a play in the Raider game where they'd cut it
Speaker 1: to two and it was like third and twenty for
Speaker 1: Houston and the quarterback throws the ball twenty yards over
Speaker 1: the receiver's head out of bounds, and they called past
Speaker 1: interference on the Raiders and gave him an automatic first down.
Speaker 1: And it's just like, what are we doing? What? What
Speaker 1: are we doing?
Speaker 2: On Society the Survivor? And I felt so good at
Speaker 2: that moment. I was like, yes, I have the refs
Speaker 2: in my pocket. Brett. I mean, he goes the refs
Speaker 2: want the Texans to win this game, and I said, obviously.
Speaker 1: Well, we had a one of the guys that works
Speaker 1: for us, Casey. He's a big Raiders fan. He want
Speaker 1: them to lose so they can get a better draft pick.
Speaker 1: And I'm sitting back there watching this the end of
Speaker 1: this game with our risk team. And and then and
Speaker 1: then right after that, the fiasco that was the final
Speaker 1: Detroit drive where that that was like the definition of
Speaker 1: like the refs have taken over.
Speaker 2: Refs and they're like, oh, you don't think that was
Speaker 2: an offensive pass interference? I said, well, the first one
Speaker 2: sure as fuck wasn't well. I two on one drive.
Speaker 1: How about? And I wanted Pittsford to win. And I wanted.
Speaker 2: You hardly ever hear two called in the game, let
Speaker 2: alone two in one drive.
Speaker 1: I thought it was ridiculous. And then and then the
Speaker 1: funniest part to me, and again, we really wanted pittsbordh
Speaker 1: to win. That was our best result of the whole weekend.
Speaker 1: I'm not complaining. But the ref comes on and he's
Speaker 1: like the ruling on the field of a touchdown is confirmed,
Speaker 1: and the crowd goes wild. It's like, but.
Speaker 2: They look. They stood around looking utterly stupid for four
Speaker 2: and a half. For the five minutes, it was so ridiculous.
Speaker 2: I was like, does anybody know what the hell is
Speaker 2: going on? Do they know what's going on? No, they're
Speaker 2: just waiting for some person in a box in New
Speaker 2: York to tell them that, yep, that's a touchdown on
Speaker 2: the field, but don't worry, it's negated by a penalty.
Speaker 2: And then breakfast. I thought NFL games couldn't end on
Speaker 2: a penalty, and I'm like, I thought they couldn't either.
Speaker 1: There was something about it. It wasn't the clock wasn't running,
Speaker 1: because I actually asked that question to the guys and
Speaker 1: they explained it to me, and I was satisfied enough
Speaker 1: with what they had to say.
Speaker 2: But you're not gonna be able to reiterate it to
Speaker 2: me or our audience, so we'll just not worry about it.
Speaker 2: I don't remember the guys getting trying to google it.
Speaker 1: Like Ed Salmon's gave me an answer that I felt
Speaker 1: satisfied with. I wasn't digging that deep because I was
Speaker 1: happy here because.
Speaker 2: You were happy that the Steelers won.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, that's a fact. Uh. We didn't do well
Speaker 1: in the Sunday night game. It's a lot of money
Speaker 1: like throughout the day's Sunday on New England. I yeah,
Speaker 1: Baltimore really blew that game, huh. They yeah, yeah, and
Speaker 1: then we can I was watching, Man, we didn't do
Speaker 1: too well last night on the money. It's a new week.
Speaker 2: So I had some buddies that played the Colts at
Speaker 2: six and a half and I thought, all right, i'll
Speaker 2: throw well sheackle, I can't believe you bet on the game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you bet on the Colts.
Speaker 2: Six and a half. That's the LB Trophy. I've had
Speaker 2: an NFL all season long. Would it close? Four?
Speaker 1: Yeah, something like that number. I'm glad that I was
Speaker 1: with a friend of mine.
Speaker 2: I read the whole first quarter. I was like, all right, Phyllis,
Speaker 2: he's gonna cook. And then the whole second half.
Speaker 1: Like, well, it doesn't It doesn't help him that his
Speaker 1: kickoff returner fumbled a kickoff or that fifty points. I mean,
Speaker 1: what is he supposed to do? I luckily I was
Speaker 1: watching that game with friends that are a little bit
Speaker 1: more rational than you, because my one buddy, the game's
Speaker 1: about to start. He's like, dude, we got to bet
Speaker 1: something on this game. How am I going to sit
Speaker 1: through this stupid NFL game? And we started talking about
Speaker 1: betting Rivers touchdown passes and we were about to pull
Speaker 1: the trigger on over one and a half at like
Speaker 1: plus two twenty ish I forget something like that. And
Speaker 1: I was like, man, this is a bad idea. Man.
Speaker 1: The guy's older than we are. How was he gonna
Speaker 1: throw two touchdowns against forty nine ers and they get
Speaker 1: the ball and it's just boom boom boom boom boom touchdown,
Speaker 1: and then the next drive after the fumble again boom
Speaker 1: boom boom, touchdown again. My friend was like, nice call.
Speaker 1: You would have not handled it as well as he did.
Speaker 1: But I think it shows you the quarterback position is
Speaker 1: like almost entirely mental. If if a guy like Anthony Richardson,
Speaker 1: who's a physical specimen, he can't play better than Philip Rivers,
Speaker 1: who's older than me and just rolled off of his couch,
Speaker 1: were just shows at all between years?
Speaker 2: Well, I think there's that, But I think it also
Speaker 2: shows you how insane that not only the injuries have
Speaker 2: piled up this year from the quarterback position, but how
Speaker 2: like not deep any of these teams are. I mean,
Speaker 2: we have I know we're gonna get into this week's
Speaker 2: NFL card, which is just atrosity. We have what we
Speaker 2: definitely have three third string quarterbacks starting. Do we have
Speaker 2: four third string quarterbacks?
Speaker 1: Sorry? Probably?
Speaker 2: Well that's of course, Philip Rivers coming off his couch,
Speaker 2: who has still a relationship with Shane Siken, is going
Speaker 2: to be better than who else some college quarterback off
Speaker 2: his couch?
Speaker 1: Everybody apparently.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't have to practice squad for the
Speaker 2: Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know all these all these coaches
Speaker 1: want a backup quarterback that knows their offense. That's why
Speaker 1: they bring in Rivers. I thought he played okay, I
Speaker 1: mean it's not what is he supposed to do?
Speaker 2: The other team scored for one hundred and some yards
Speaker 2: over his prop bet for passing yards. I saw Ariel
Speaker 2: tweeted and I was like, wow, So, I mean, obviously
Speaker 2: he's doing better. But there weren't. There was that one
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think where I was kind of flipping
Speaker 2: back and forth between the game and a couple Christmas movies.
Speaker 3: But it was weird.
Speaker 1: There was which.
Speaker 3: Christmases and National Lampoon.
Speaker 1: Oh terrific movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we So I caught it where he just
Speaker 2: like completely underthrew a I'd call like a fifteen twenty
Speaker 2: yard pass to the tight end, and I.
Speaker 1: Was like four years old.
Speaker 2: That's my point.
Speaker 1: I gotta say, I'm impressed with Brett getting you to
Speaker 1: sit down and watch a movie. You're not a movie person, yeah.
Speaker 2: I'm not. I don't like movies. Are just like I
Speaker 2: don't like going to the movies.
Speaker 1: I like my own Yeah, before we started recording, I
Speaker 1: was talking to our producers, Johnny and Louis. They're terrific,
Speaker 1: and I made a reference to Henry Hill and Kelly.
Speaker 1: Kelly's like, I don't know that. How could you possibly
Speaker 1: don't know who Henry Hill is? Henry Hill good fellow?
Speaker 2: Oh, I know he's not a real person. I thought
Speaker 2: maybe he's a He's.
Speaker 1: A real person. He is a real person. Are you
Speaker 1: being serious? You're you're you're screwing with me, right.
Speaker 2: I haven't no idea what you're.
Speaker 1: Talking Henry Hill is, that's raylely OTA's character and Goodfellas, Okay,
Speaker 1: he is a real person. Oh, it's based on a truth.
Speaker 2: You're you're messing with me, right, No, I really have
Speaker 2: no idea who you're talking about. I watched Goodfellas and
Speaker 2: probably for thirty years. When's the last time I watched
Speaker 2: good Fellas.
Speaker 1: I watched it a couple of nights ago. I happened
Speaker 1: to be it happened to be on and I found
Speaker 1: it so funny that I like the scene when uh
Speaker 1: the Luftanza heist and Henry Hill's in the shower and
Speaker 1: they're reading it. Some say four million, some say six million,
Speaker 1: and then he like he hits the top of the shower.
Speaker 1: He's like, jem, you sons up a bitches. No. I
Speaker 1: took a picture of my TV and I sent it
Speaker 1: to Todd Dewey.
Speaker 3: Listen.
Speaker 2: We watched for Christmases last night. We watched National Implumes
Speaker 2: last night, and there was I've seen both of those
Speaker 2: movie multiple times.
Speaker 3: I've probably seen National Implunes like every year. And there
Speaker 3: was a part in that movie.
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't remember that, and Brett was like,
Speaker 2: what it was when the dog breaks through the door
Speaker 2: to go after the squirrel. And I was like, I've
Speaker 2: never seen that part of my life.
Speaker 3: And he's like, what.
Speaker 1: Are you just not paying any attention?
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what it is. I think that I
Speaker 2: don't pay enough attention to things that don't really appeal
Speaker 2: to me.
Speaker 3: I'm just there.
Speaker 2: I'm just there watching, but I'm not. Okay, think about this.
Speaker 2: Remember when you were like in high school or college
Speaker 2: and they were like, read this book.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm just I'm just reading words. I'm absorbing nothing.
Speaker 2: Yes, And I thought, but if it's an interesting book
Speaker 2: and I really am enjoying it, I can I can
Speaker 2: go back and say Okay, here's exactly what happened, here's
Speaker 2: what my synopsis is on the book, and here's what
Speaker 2: it meant to me. But if it was a book
Speaker 2: that I hated, it was like pulling teeth because I'd
Speaker 2: have to go back and reread and I'm like, did
Speaker 2: I even read this chapter? No? I was just reading
Speaker 2: the words on the page at midnight at the library,
Speaker 2: and I was not retaining anything. I think that's what
Speaker 2: it is with movies.
Speaker 1: You're comparing Christmas vacation to reading at the library at midnight.
Speaker 2: I am like, meaning that my brain dumps out.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Someone is like, tell me the quarterback for the Arizona
Speaker 2: Cardinals in nineteen ninety seven, because they're like, oh, you
Speaker 2: know so much about sports. I'm like, you think I
Speaker 2: remember that? You think I give a fuck enough to
Speaker 2: keep that in my memory bank. I could probably do
Speaker 2: it about k State, because like it was so much
Speaker 2: like prolific of my childhood. But things that don't matter
Speaker 2: gets dumped out, and movies don't matter, so they just
Speaker 2: get dumped out of my brain like I have to.
Speaker 2: I only have so many brain cells that can absorb
Speaker 2: so much, and there's way more important sit like schedules,
Speaker 2: like my schedule and everything else that I have, Like,
Speaker 2: I got to keep all of this shit in order,
Speaker 2: so don't fuck anything up.
Speaker 1: Actually that was pretty long winded, but I agree. I
Speaker 1: agree with you. I mean, that's that's how I feel
Speaker 1: about this college football playoff. Like there's only so many
Speaker 1: hours in the day. I don't care about Ole Miss
Speaker 1: and two Win playing each other.
Speaker 2: I didn't care less about watching it. I watched all
Speaker 2: Home Alabama with my dad. Pretty good game, even though
Speaker 2: I lost Oklahoma, no problem, but I would say it
Speaker 2: was a good game. Right. You could see the energy
Speaker 2: shift after I didn't. Oh, you didn't watch any of it.
Speaker 1: It was seventeen to seven when I left work. I
Speaker 1: didn't see that.
Speaker 2: I knew they were going to choke away that game,
Speaker 2: and they certainly did. But the bottom line is there is.
Speaker 1: What's the bottom line.
Speaker 2: Only so many hours of the day, and there's only
Speaker 2: so much stuff that my brain can hold on to
Speaker 2: and retain. If you saw my desk, right, like, I
Speaker 2: got notes. I got these notes. I got these notes.
Speaker 2: I got I got people owe me money, I got people,
Speaker 2: I got hoa notes. No, it's my outstanding invoices. I
Speaker 2: got I'm already planning my Italy trips.
Speaker 3: Here's my list for Venice.
Speaker 1: What do you do if somebody? What do you do
Speaker 1: if somebody owes you money? Do you have brettle? Like
Speaker 1: a knock on their door?
Speaker 2: Like right now, the West Gate owes me. Well, I
Speaker 2: won't tell you what the West Kate owes me because
Speaker 2: you'll be mad. But the West Kate owes me for
Speaker 2: two months and boyses because it's.
Speaker 1: Not like it's not like gambling, drug deals. It's like actually, oh.
Speaker 2: No, no, like Sam show. They just paid me one
Speaker 2: of the invoices from October. Like you just got to
Speaker 2: keep in mind, because here's what happens is you do
Speaker 2: all these shows and then forty five days later you
Speaker 2: send them an invoice, and then forty five days later
Speaker 2: you get paid.
Speaker 3: If you don't keep track of it, how are you
Speaker 3: gonna know if you paid?
Speaker 1: Well, you gotta you gotta stay on top of your finding.
Speaker 2: I'm like my own accountant now, Like without an agent,
Speaker 2: you're like your own accountant.
Speaker 1: So why did have you ever thought about getting like, uh,
Speaker 1: what do they call it? Like an intern?
Speaker 3: They would be good enough.
Speaker 1: Remember the episode of Seinfeld when he had I.
Speaker 2: Went to Walgreens and got like my prescription or like,
Speaker 2: like today I needed more wrapping paper, like those types
Speaker 2: of really annoying things. But that's what I have instant
Speaker 2: cart and Uber eats for.
Speaker 1: Remember Kramer had an intern Darren no a high t
Speaker 1: with a mister Newman. No, you don't remember that episode?
Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? Man?
Speaker 2: I don't watch Seinfeld's texting me so you must be
Speaker 2: listening to the show from the other room, going what
Speaker 2: are they talking about?
Speaker 3: Isn't this sports show?
Speaker 1: He's right, all right, I don't know what, but I.
Speaker 2: Live and I'm like, oh boy, I'm in trouble. I
Speaker 2: said something wrong.
Speaker 1: Zip through. I thought a college football playoff first round
Speaker 1: was an abomination. Get it right, fix it, get it right.
Speaker 2: Notre Dame would have been such a better Texas.
Speaker 1: Get these teams out of them.
Speaker 3: We don't need Game of five teams.
Speaker 2: And here's what somebody tweeted. And I'll say this, so
Speaker 2: n I l transfer portal college football playoff, the coaching care.
Speaker 2: So all of these things have ruined the bowl games, right,
Speaker 2: But all of those things have also ruined these Game
Speaker 2: of five schools. Think about it. If you're a really
Speaker 2: good quarterback. You're and you're you're playing out a twuo lane,
Speaker 2: you're playing at a GMU. You're going to get more
Speaker 2: money to go to Iowa. You're gonna get more money
Speaker 2: to go to Washington and so forth the next year.
Speaker 2: If you fulfill whatever boxes they need to check, you're
Speaker 2: going to get a better position. So now we're not
Speaker 2: only killing Bowl season where it was fun for some
Speaker 2: of these Game of five schools, Like I remember like
Speaker 2: a UCF beating a Baylor.
Speaker 1: Right, is it called the Game of five like Game
Speaker 1: of Thrones G five? I thought it was a group
Speaker 1: of five, group of five. I don't know, I'm asking
Speaker 1: you game whatever.
Speaker 2: There's they're not in the Power four, which is also
Speaker 2: sounds ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Why is acc consider the Power four?
Speaker 2: I don't know. Remember you're a beach than in the
Speaker 2: Splash contest.
Speaker 1: Yeah I got that wrong.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: So anyway, my point is is now we're just going
Speaker 2: to beat up on all these little schools because we're
Speaker 2: just gonna take their coaches, we're going to take their players,
Speaker 2: and they're going to just fade away into oblivion. I mean,
Speaker 2: John Summer literally donated one hundred thousand dollars to two lane,
Speaker 2: probably because he loves the place and feels so bad
Speaker 2: that he's going to completely gut their football program before
Speaker 2: he goes to Gainesville.
Speaker 1: I agree with everything you just said, and I'm I'm
Speaker 1: glad that we can move on past the like the
Speaker 1: charity portion of the tournament, like the let's make sure
Speaker 1: nobody's feelings get hurt personal tournament. That's over, and now
Speaker 1: we can have real games, real games with teams that
Speaker 1: can actually win the national championship, which I thought was
Speaker 1: the point of doing a tournament. Apparently, probably the point
Speaker 1: of doing a tournament is not hurting anybody's feelings. You know,
Speaker 1: that's your generation. Now we can do the real games,
Speaker 1: the actual teams that have a chance to win it all.
Speaker 1: The first game, Ohio State, they laid nine and a half,
Speaker 1: but they took ten with Miami, so pick your poison there.
Speaker 1: We did see sharp money on Oregon minus one and
Speaker 1: a half. We did see sharp money on Ole miss
Speaker 1: plus seven. That was at six and a half. I
Speaker 1: haven't really seen anything on Alabama Indiana yet that I
Speaker 1: can report the Rose Bowl game, but the other three
Speaker 1: we did see some money. It's tough. I talked about
Speaker 1: this I talk about it every year because I don't
Speaker 1: really have any new information. I just repeat the same
Speaker 1: things over and over again. It's hard to get bullpicks
Speaker 1: on the show. The lines, just the lines move so much.
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to be like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, all the sharp guys bet this team plus ten,
Speaker 1: Like well, okay, Like here's.
Speaker 2: The Toledo game right before kick today I'm watching. It
Speaker 2: was all the way down to what seven and a half?
Speaker 2: Now it's like twelve and a half.
Speaker 1: We took a lot of money on Louisville. I'm actually
Speaker 1: in my office on the Tuesday before Christmas and I'm
Speaker 1: watching the Boker Raton Bowl.
Speaker 2: That's you know how pissed i'd be if I got
Speaker 2: the best of the number eight and a half with
Speaker 2: Toledo gets steamed all the way down, and then on
Speaker 2: game day everybody comes back and just nails the other side.
Speaker 2: That sucks.
Speaker 1: They get I give you this one. They bet Hawaii,
Speaker 1: but they bet Hawaii plus two. Now Hawaii is minus one.
Speaker 2: I mean, it'll be fine.
Speaker 1: It was the NFL. I can tell you what you
Speaker 1: already know out there, folks. Games don't land one. It's
Speaker 1: impossible It's never happened in the NFL. It could happen
Speaker 1: in college.
Speaker 3: Can we do that prop bat next year?
Speaker 2: What's that thirteen and a half over under games at
Speaker 2: Land one in the twenty twenty six NFL season?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 2: How many of the line?
Speaker 1: How many have there been this year? Zero?
Speaker 3: How about fifteen or sixteen?
Speaker 2: I need to go back and count. I'll go back.
Speaker 1: I can't think of one.
Speaker 2: Hey, how can you have one of our producers go
Speaker 2: back and count? Louis?
Speaker 3: I'm gonna bring him on the screen.
Speaker 2: You can you go back really quick while you're just
Speaker 2: sitting there doing nothing? And uh and count how many
Speaker 2: games landed one in the NFL for me this year? Please?
Speaker 1: And then I'd like to also see Louie as well.
Speaker 2: Can we get he turned off his camera, I'd also
Speaker 2: turn off my camera. You just see me when I
Speaker 2: had to turn on my camera on Sunday before last
Speaker 2: call because somebody was late, and then somebody else, Ariel
Speaker 2: was having technical difficulties, so I had to turn on
Speaker 2: my camera.
Speaker 3: I got here and not.
Speaker 1: Somebody that's late. I wasn't late.
Speaker 2: Louis did not, for it was late and Ariel was
Speaker 2: having so we were six minutes late, between late and
Speaker 2: technical difficulties.
Speaker 1: You know that made that made me late for my
Speaker 1: show with Steve Cofield. I was because I do I
Speaker 1: do the Ariel Show and then I and then I
Speaker 1: go out into the sportsbook, I do a show with Steve.
Speaker 1: I was late for that show. Steve was mad at me.
Speaker 2: So that way to go, Louis.
Speaker 1: That was Louie's fault. Yeah, I think we should I
Speaker 1: think you should have put Louis on camera. Louis a
Speaker 1: beautiful man.
Speaker 2: Yeah you have to see me look awful and all
Speaker 2: my glory with a giant clip on my head.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, VR.
Speaker 2: Is like, whoa what are you doing here at eleven
Speaker 2: am on a Sunday?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Not great?
Speaker 3: Not great?
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve I said they've met a wifeless two. They've
Speaker 1: got the under fifty two and a half. I feel
Speaker 1: like I feel like I can give that one on
Speaker 1: the show because that game's tomorrow. You know, I'm hoping that.
Speaker 2: Just tell us, okay, but just tell us this. What
Speaker 2: have you seen between now and New Year's Eve? And
Speaker 2: if people want to take that information, they can.
Speaker 3: But here's what we saw.
Speaker 2: We saw a respond to your your fans are. I mean,
Speaker 2: you're the whole point is they want to look behind
Speaker 2: the counter.
Speaker 1: There are a bunch of cry babies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well guess what they're gonna really cry when they
Speaker 2: watch that on IT this week because I just gutted
Speaker 2: the show. We cannot sit here and talk about these
Speaker 2: garbage Christmas games. We cannot sit here and have third
Speaker 2: string quarterbacks. And the lines have already moved against you
Speaker 2: at this point in time, so you already missed the boat.
Speaker 2: You're gonna lay thirteen and a half with the Broncos
Speaker 2: like that seems pretty ridiculous. But also the Chiefs third
Speaker 2: string quarterback that I don't even know his name, pretty
Speaker 2: ridiculous himself.
Speaker 1: It is ridiculous they met, Uh, they did bet Virginia
Speaker 1: and the Gator Bowl, but that was at plus seven
Speaker 1: and plus six and a half the Missouri quarterback excuse me,
Speaker 1: enter the transfer portal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you gotta get You gotta get the information
Speaker 2: before you guys do, so you can get that.
Speaker 1: Number, doesn't it? Like I remember being no.
Speaker 2: He went to ball State. Never mind, I was gonna
Speaker 2: say je went to Miszoo. Why didn't he tell me
Speaker 2: that boat?
Speaker 1: I remember being a young man and on New Year's
Speaker 1: Morning they would have like the Gator Bowl, the Citric
Speaker 1: the Outback Bowl, and then it would all lead into
Speaker 1: the road.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the six six six.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was awesome.
Speaker 2: I haven't turned on my office TV one time in
Speaker 2: the last two weeks. There's literally nothing. Why would I
Speaker 2: want to watch the relya quest.
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer.
Speaker 3: I won't watch the pop.
Speaker 2: Tar Bowl, I think because I like Georgia Tech and
Speaker 2: I will watch whatever Penn State Clemson Bowl game is.
Speaker 1: Well, there was sharp money on Clemson.
Speaker 3: Yeah that's me but that but then.
Speaker 1: I was wrong. But now Clemson has a lot of
Speaker 1: guys out as well. Yeah, so now the Lion has
Speaker 1: basically come back to where it started. Clemson is a
Speaker 1: three point favorite. That is the Pinstrike Bowl at Yankee
Speaker 1: Stadium Saturday morning. So that was good information.
Speaker 2: Ceet and I hammered the ship out of Clemson. We
Speaker 2: told everybody we knew after we bet it. And then
Speaker 2: now Clemson is like I mean, I thought I thought
Speaker 2: Damo Sweeney had a tighter leash on those kids.
Speaker 3: I guess I was wrong.
Speaker 1: I think I got that tip from Sam Panionovitch. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I think I got.
Speaker 2: I think he got.
Speaker 1: It from I'm giving. I gave Sam a lot of
Speaker 1: credit for that.
Speaker 2: I shocker, you gave Sam a lot of credit when
Speaker 2: Sam got it for me.
Speaker 1: And I told everyone's like, dude, where'd you get that
Speaker 1: great tip? I said, Sam Pann got steamed as six sampan.
Speaker 1: Did you do you think did it?
Speaker 2: Do you think Sam's betting twelve dimes on Clemson and
Speaker 2: moving the market.
Speaker 1: I don't think twelve thousand dollars would move the market
Speaker 1: on these games? What it?
Speaker 2: Well? I max out my four accounts. Cet max out
Speaker 2: of probably his forty accounts, so and all in all,
Speaker 2: I'm got a lot of person and I got to
Speaker 2: bet half of it off because I don't even I
Speaker 2: thought I had all this great information.
Speaker 1: Now I don't Chris Thurston can move the market. Chris
Speaker 1: is a mover and shaker.
Speaker 3: I don't bet enough.
Speaker 2: My bad. Chris is a mover and sh I bet
Speaker 2: in every single one of my accounts, and now I've
Speaker 2: got to bet off most of it and lose the
Speaker 2: ten percent because now Clemson has ninety percent of their
Speaker 2: guys not playing either. What don't you just love ball season?
Speaker 1: It's been it's been ruined. I know I complain about
Speaker 1: it a lot, but it's it deserves to be complained
Speaker 1: about because I love college football. Ball season used to
Speaker 1: be my favorite thing to bet on when I was younger,
Speaker 1: and it's just been massacred. It does suck. There's a
Speaker 1: little bit of money on Nebraska. That line got all
Speaker 1: the way up to seventeen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I played seventeen in my contest. I will say
Speaker 2: I haven't given up on the contest just yet, because
Speaker 2: you can play some stale numbers. I will say that, Like,
Speaker 2: there's a couple of contests that I've been on when
Speaker 2: they were on Office Football Pool but now on Splash
Speaker 2: that I just rejoined because there's nothing. It's like fifty bucks,
Speaker 2: a hundred bucks, tw hundred bucks to join. So I
Speaker 2: did rejoin a couple of those. And let me tell
Speaker 2: you some of these stale numbers. Like I said, I
Speaker 2: had Toledo and then right before right before kick, I
Speaker 2: had my odd logic screen up and I was like,
Speaker 2: when the hell did this get to twelve and a half?
Speaker 2: Obviously since I was recording my shows this morning, but
Speaker 2: I'm like, do I then play Louisville minus eight and
Speaker 2: a half. Is that the play?
Speaker 3: I like the Toledo side. I guess not.
Speaker 1: Well, you've got to make a decision. You're talking about
Speaker 1: a Splash Sports contest and I want to talk about
Speaker 1: I want to talk about Survivor with you. But you
Speaker 1: got you got to make a decision. No, seriously, you
Speaker 1: got to make a decision. Am I just playing line moves?
Speaker 1: Or am I putting? Because if you're just saying, if
Speaker 1: you're just saying, all I care about is I just
Speaker 1: want to get the best the number, then yeah, you
Speaker 1: should switch your pick to Louisvio.
Speaker 2: I don't. I want to actually handicap the games, but
Speaker 2: it's been borderline impossible. It's like I said, the it's
Speaker 2: the same thing with the NFL Christmas Games. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: your guess is as good as mine. What do you
Speaker 2: know about the Washington Commander's third string quarterback?
Speaker 3: Talk to me.
Speaker 1: I know that his college coach was Jim Harbaugh, aka
Speaker 1: coach there you go at San Diego. I got one
Speaker 1: more play that's somewhat doable because the two wise guys
Speaker 1: bet it at minus two and a half and it's
Speaker 1: only minus three, and that is which is a difference obviously,
Speaker 1: but at least it's close. The other ones have moved
Speaker 1: like four or five points, so I'll give you that one.
Speaker 1: They bet Mississippi State minus two and a half. They're
Speaker 1: playing Wake Forest in the Mayo Bowl. I've been to
Speaker 1: the Mayo Bowl in Charlotte, North Carolina. I think it
Speaker 1: was called something else back then. I think it was
Speaker 1: called I think it was called the Belk Bowl. When
Speaker 1: I went, I think it was called the Belt in
Speaker 1: the South.
Speaker 2: And notice, there's a lot of weird things in the
Speaker 2: South that I've had to learn about and I would
Speaker 2: prefer not to.
Speaker 3: But that's another one, the Belt.
Speaker 1: Let's let's talk Okay, let's talk about the NFL, and
Speaker 1: let's talk about I want to I want to get
Speaker 1: up on my high horse and pontificate about the Survivor contests.
Speaker 1: You want to do that first? Sure? Every year, I
Speaker 1: love Kelly. Every year we talk about Survivor and we
Speaker 1: do the Survivor contests and Kelly's like, oh, we got
Speaker 1: to save them for Week fifteen, Week eighteen. We and
Speaker 1: every year I say, Kelly, we don't know what the
Speaker 1: league is going to look like by the time that
Speaker 1: comes around, And I just want to remind you of
Speaker 1: that as we look at these ridiculous Christmas Day games,
Speaker 1: we don't know what the league is gonna look like.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll admit I agree with you. It's good
Speaker 1: to map it out, and there's no doubt that this
Speaker 1: is a very extreme situation.
Speaker 2: I was gonna take it extreme.
Speaker 1: I agree with I. Of course, Washington is a team
Speaker 1: think back to August. Washington is a team people probably
Speaker 1: looked at for Christmas Day. Washington had played in the
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game the year before, Dallas didn't make the playoffs.
Speaker 1: They're at home, even though that Redskins don't have any
Speaker 1: home field advantage or whatever they call themselves. They don't
Speaker 1: have any home field advantage, but they are at home.
Speaker 1: They're a seven point dog. Kansas City played in the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl last year. They've played in five of the
Speaker 1: last I think six super Bowls as a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: five or seven. I think they're a thirteen point underdog
Speaker 1: at home against Denver on Thursday, and Detroit is a seven.
Speaker 1: I guess Detroit is a team that people probably would
Speaker 1: have planned on using for Christmas, right, I guess. But
Speaker 1: I think the main two would have been Kansas city
Speaker 1: in Washington, and look at the look at the state
Speaker 1: of these games. I don't have any sharp money to
Speaker 1: report on Christmas.
Speaker 2: I want to stay on Christmas really quick and back
Speaker 2: to Survivor. So my options this week for Survivor.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about Splash Sports survivors specifically, did
Speaker 1: we get knocked out of the College Survivor?
Speaker 2: You guys did?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: I did not.
Speaker 1: Oh great, we had Oklahoma or Texas A and M.
Speaker 2: I don't even remember. But I have six entries with
Speaker 2: you guys, one with the producers, one with Brett, and
Speaker 2: three on my own and I have one a lot.
Speaker 1: I'm completely knocked out. Well, we only had one and
Speaker 1: it's out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you had Texas A and M. I just loved Okay,
Speaker 2: But I use like a square assh or Old miss
Speaker 2: and Oregon because I was like, we gotta get one through.
Speaker 2: We gotta get one. We gotta see one make it
Speaker 2: to the second round, otherwise I look like a jackass.
Speaker 2: So me and everybody and thirteen hundred of us use
Speaker 2: that exact same combination, and those are who made it through.
Speaker 1: That's a pretty obvious.
Speaker 3: But now you got to hope they lose this round.
Speaker 3: That's why I was tell me.
Speaker 1: About your Splash. I think Oregon is going to be
Speaker 1: Texas Tech the more I think about that game. But uh,
Speaker 1: I interrupted. You tell me about your Splash spoorts NFL. Please.
Speaker 2: So there's one hundred and eighty eight of us left
Speaker 2: in the Splash Millionaire Survivor Revival.
Speaker 1: Start from This is not from the preseason.
Speaker 2: No started week seven, okay, and we've been three weeks
Speaker 2: of double pick weeks, and last week I squeaked by
Speaker 2: with Houston and New Orleans. So this week I have
Speaker 2: the Cowboys available. Well, I got a lot of teams available,
Speaker 2: but here's who the favorites are. The Cowboys, the Chargers,
Speaker 2: the Bucks, the Steelers, the Bengals.
Speaker 1: Charges are about one.
Speaker 2: Favor and the Raiders another one point favorite. That's what
Speaker 2: I'm saying, right, So, yeah, that's kind of where we're
Speaker 2: at with.
Speaker 1: Say them to me again. I wasn't listening say them
Speaker 1: to me the Cowboys, I'm.
Speaker 2: Sorry, Cowboys, Chargers, Bucks, Bengals, Steelers, Bucks, Raiders.
Speaker 1: So Quinn yours is going to play for the I can.
Speaker 1: I can tell you guys this. I mean, we like
Speaker 1: pre last week, we had people laying three and four
Speaker 1: and a half on the Bucks look Ahead Bucks at
Speaker 1: the Dolphins.
Speaker 2: Well, by the way, Louis just text me, fifteen games
Speaker 2: have landed one this year.
Speaker 1: I honestly can't think of a single one. Off top
Speaker 1: of mind.
Speaker 2: We just had one on Thursday night football.
Speaker 1: I don't watch Thursday football. I don't get that chom.
Speaker 1: I don't get that channel.
Speaker 3: You don't have Amazon, you don't pay for Amazon, you.
Speaker 1: Lie whatever whatever channel the NFL is on when I'm
Speaker 1: at home, I don't get that channel. I don't get
Speaker 1: that chang all right, so we did. I will say that,
Speaker 1: so Bucks could be an option, he said, I don't really.
Speaker 2: Like those Bucks teams. Baker Mayfield has been spiraling. They've
Speaker 2: lost three straight. They haven't covered their last seven. It
Speaker 2: doesn't matter because they've got the Panthers on deck for
Speaker 2: the division.
Speaker 1: What about Bengals.
Speaker 2: Bengals are use the Bengals.
Speaker 3: The Bengals are number one. I'm using Bengals, so there.
Speaker 1: The Bengals are a minus three forty favorite. Cowboys are
Speaker 1: a minus three thirty favorite. At the West game.
Speaker 2: I think I have to use the Cowboys against a
Speaker 2: third string quarterback if they go to Washington and lose
Speaker 2: to a third string quarterback. What what am I supposed
Speaker 2: to do?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Complain ruin Christmas?
Speaker 2: I might.
Speaker 1: You're gonna ruin. You're gonna ruin Christmas for bread because
Speaker 1: of a freaking Cowboys Redskins game.
Speaker 2: And a lot of people over.
Speaker 1: You gonna rule Christmas for everybody?
Speaker 3: Everyone Christmas, I know.
Speaker 2: I tell I'm like, maybe I should just use the
Speaker 2: box and then God, can I give you.
Speaker 1: A recommendation for Christmas Day? Don't watch the game? Who cares?
Speaker 1: Don't watch? Just I do.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be in the kitchen, cooking like I am
Speaker 2: every single holiday, drinking wine. I'm watching the game. That
Speaker 2: is my only like moment of solid so.
Speaker 3: I don't have to interact with everybody.
Speaker 2: Get out of the kitchen, put the zat matts down
Speaker 2: on the floor so the kids and the dogs can't
Speaker 2: come in, and I'm just corned in the kitchen and
Speaker 2: everybody has to leave me alone.
Speaker 1: Actually, cooking and drinking wine does sound pretty good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I do everyday, and then everybody else gets
Speaker 2: to do their own thing, and then dinner's ready, and
Speaker 2: then that game will be over, Like that game will
Speaker 2: be over by the time Dinners.
Speaker 1: That's a one eastern kick. Yeah, yeah, okay, that's actually
Speaker 1: a pretty good plan. I take it back, that's a
Speaker 1: good plan.
Speaker 2: We're doing a show really ruin Christmas. But like I
Speaker 2: should be less, I'll be not as angry. I mean,
Speaker 2: there's stille hundred and eighty some of us left. There's
Speaker 2: one hundred in hold on, one hundred and eighty eight
Speaker 2: of us left right, and only two weeks of picks.
Speaker 2: I mean there's some guys that still have there are
Speaker 2: some people that still have like four or five entries left.
Speaker 3: I mean they bought one hundred of them.
Speaker 1: But are we gonna do like a show Kelly and
Speaker 1: Murray show thing like a survivor for the NFL playoffs?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes we are.
Speaker 3: I haven't gotten that car yet, but we are doing
Speaker 3: a NFL playoff survivor.
Speaker 2: I was waiting until after Christmas to announce a because
Speaker 2: I think I annoyed the fuck out of everybody with
Speaker 2: my college football playoff one.
Speaker 3: But I may have.
Speaker 1: I was, I was annoyed.
Speaker 2: I may have set the standard a little too high
Speaker 2: by making one hundred dollars. So we're gonna make the
Speaker 2: Kelly and Murray wan twenty five dollars.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'll definitely do that.
Speaker 2: I'll try just every you know, like, here's a problem
Speaker 2: my brother.
Speaker 1: I'm doing with my brother because you guy us knocked
Speaker 1: out in the first week in the car.
Speaker 2: I did not your boy, Joff, which is why he
Speaker 2: sent me twenty five dollars. I was like, Joff, I
Speaker 2: don't need your twenty five dollars for your one quarter.
Speaker 3: Of the entry.
Speaker 2: He's like, I didn't know what to do because they
Speaker 2: were his picks. So I let him pick.
Speaker 1: Oh, they were his picks. Will and fuck him then
Speaker 1: make him triger?
Speaker 2: Neither did ct what else to do?
Speaker 1: Joff is a is a Northern Virginia yuppie. Twenty five
Speaker 1: dollars that's nothing to a guy like that.
Speaker 3: He should even have just sent one hundred dollars to
Speaker 3: me if he didn't care.
Speaker 1: I was walking my dogs on Monday on the golf
Speaker 1: course and I found fifteen bucks on the ground. Amazing.
Speaker 1: Isn't that great? I was so excited. I think I
Speaker 1: think we should do an NFL will and that'll be
Speaker 1: more fun. Because the first round of the college football
Speaker 1: Playoff was a fucking joke. It wasn't even like a
Speaker 1: real round.
Speaker 2: But that's why it's hard, because everybody that uses Oregon
Speaker 2: will miss. Now you can't use Oregon again, and you
Speaker 2: got to do a double pick. I don't want to
Speaker 2: use Georgia because I want Georgia. I mapped it out
Speaker 2: for Georgia to win the national championship. So I got
Speaker 2: a burn Ohio State, which is not my idea of
Speaker 2: a good time, or Indiana, which is not my idea
Speaker 2: of a good time.
Speaker 1: Either, do me one favor if you use Ohio State.
Speaker 1: If you use Ohio State and they lose, which they're
Speaker 1: not going to lose, but if they lose, don't ruin
Speaker 1: Brett's New Year's Eve. That's New Year's Eve, don't ruin it.
Speaker 2: First of all, this is completely different than the Millionaire Survivor,
Speaker 2: where there's one hundred and eighty eight of us left
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty thousand, and there's still like thirteen
Speaker 2: or fourteen hundred of us left. That's like losing week
Speaker 2: two in Circa or not West CA because West Kate's
Speaker 2: five k so that's a little bit more frustrating, But
Speaker 2: like that's liker. It's week two is one thing. Losing
Speaker 2: this deep because the Cowboys who have nothing to play for,
Speaker 2: versus the Commanders, who have nothing to play for.
Speaker 3: To have a third string quarterback.
Speaker 2: Lots, it's a lot different.
Speaker 1: Boy. Commanders is a bad name, isn't it. God, it's
Speaker 1: so stupid.
Speaker 2: I like football. Do you remember when I had this
Speaker 2: shirt that Kelly Lee bought me and said that was
Speaker 2: a good shirt.
Speaker 1: Actually, I do it. I do it.
Speaker 2: You know I probably did. I probably let somebody wear
Speaker 2: it and they never give it back to me.
Speaker 1: You know. I facetimed my mother the other day. My
Speaker 1: brother was there, My brother was I could see my
Speaker 1: brother on camera and he was wearing a Redskins shirt. Okay,
Speaker 1: and it's just like, dude, racist, I was. I was offended.
Speaker 1: I actually asked Mom to move so I couldn't see
Speaker 1: him in the background. I was offended. I don't. We're
Speaker 1: doing the show Tuesday because the holidays, which is actually
Speaker 1: kind of normal for Kelly and I. We do that
Speaker 1: every Thanksgiving. So I don't have as much as I
Speaker 1: know that, but I'm saying we do it every Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: So like we've we've faced this before where we do
Speaker 1: the show a couple days earlier because the holidays. It
Speaker 1: is Christmas. You're right, so I don't have as much
Speaker 1: to share this time as I normally do. But they'vet
Speaker 1: Cleveland plus four. Cleveland's now a three and a half
Speaker 1: point favorite home against the Steelers. Does that game mean
Speaker 1: anything for the Steelers?
Speaker 2: If if the Steeler Baltimore, Baltimore loses, Steelers clinched the division.
Speaker 2: We don't really playing with Tyler Hontley. And do we
Speaker 2: know if it's Malik Willis or Jordan Love yet for
Speaker 2: the Packards. I don't think we do.
Speaker 1: We We really don't. There's a couple of games that
Speaker 1: we have highlighted in our system. You guys want that
Speaker 1: peak behind the counter, right, I mean we So what
Speaker 1: we'll do with these games?
Speaker 3: Explain to me what highlighted means?
Speaker 1: About to I'm about to, Uh. We don't want to
Speaker 1: not have the game on the board because you don't
Speaker 1: want to not offer betting on an NFL game. So
Speaker 1: we have this game highlighted and it says lower limits
Speaker 1: at the counter, give lower limits, lower limits on the
Speaker 1: app because of the what Kelly mentioned, the situation with
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. Those are tough games to book. I wish
Speaker 1: the NFL hadn't put this game on the Saturday night slot.
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, I mean that that we
Speaker 1: lost big on the game. But that Green Bay Chicago
Speaker 1: game last week on Saturday Night with no competition from
Speaker 1: college football because they were doing this charity thing and
Speaker 1: it was Oregon boat racing James Madison. Everybody's watching the NFL.
Speaker 1: We did huge business on that game. We lost, but
Speaker 1: it was great business. I wish that the NFL had
Speaker 1: given us a better Saturday night game.
Speaker 2: Well, it was supposed to be.
Speaker 3: I was going to go.
Speaker 2: I was going to go fly to Kansas City to
Speaker 2: my sister because she's now a Chiefs fan. The woman
Speaker 2: who made me a Broncos fan.
Speaker 1: Why did you? What does that mean with the air quotes?
Speaker 3: She's a shit.
Speaker 2: She's never been a Chiefs fan. The reason why I'm
Speaker 2: a Broncos fan is because of her and John Elway
Speaker 2: when I was a little kid. And now she's this
Speaker 2: Chiefs fan now that they win Super Bowls and she
Speaker 2: still lives in Denver because she just wants to be
Speaker 2: an asshole. We were gonna go to the game, nice.
Speaker 2: I knew Denver was.
Speaker 3: Gonna win the game.
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes or not. I was gonna go. I said,
Speaker 2: we should go. It'll be fun. We'll go see at
Speaker 2: Helen for Christmas, will drive to Kansas City, we'll go
Speaker 2: to the game. I'll fly and meet Brett in Green Bay.
Speaker 3: Ariel can come.
Speaker 2: It'll be a blast. I'm so glad I'm not going
Speaker 2: to any of those trash games.
Speaker 1: That sounds like both of those games sound I mean,
Speaker 1: I know I'm old now, but those games sound so cold. Man, Like,
Speaker 1: you guys crazy, You're gonna go to lambeau Field. I
Speaker 1: got invited to go to the Redskins Packers game week two,
Speaker 1: Thursday Night football lambeau Field. I just couldn't make it
Speaker 1: work because of work, But that would have been nice
Speaker 1: because that's early September.
Speaker 2: Well, I've been freezing my ass off in September and
Speaker 2: Lambeau like had to go to Dick's and buy clothes.
Speaker 3: So yeah, right, why would.
Speaker 1: You want to go at the end of the Sember one,
Speaker 1: you's got.
Speaker 2: To drink more?
Speaker 3: John Murray, grow up.
Speaker 1: Oh. The last time I went to a NFL playoff
Speaker 1: game was Redskins Packers, that was their name at the time,
Speaker 1: and it was so cold that my brother and I started,
Speaker 1: like I think we stopped drinking beers, like late in
Speaker 1: the third quarter.
Speaker 3: You can't drink beer. It's too cold to drink beer.
Speaker 3: You have to drink hard liquor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's really all I have. Though it's tough. It's
Speaker 1: a tough week.
Speaker 2: Cleveland. Cleveland is all you have.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if you really want like accounts that
Speaker 1: we really respect on sides, yeah, I mean, I mean that's.
Speaker 2: What happened when when we went over the script for
Speaker 2: bet on It today and one of our producers is like, guys,
Speaker 2: I got a lot to do today. I go, Bro,
Speaker 2: you're the one that wanted Christmas Eve off. I gave
Speaker 2: everybody Christmas Eve off. That means we have to do
Speaker 2: the show early. The problem is is there's VR has
Speaker 2: no information. You know, he does this segment before you
Speaker 2: where he's like, hey, here is what I saw everybody bet.
Speaker 2: Then you come in and you say, here's what we
Speaker 2: saw everybody bet. The problem is none of those guys
Speaker 2: know anything either. The injury out, Yeah, the injury reports
Speaker 2: aren't out. They some of them picked off early numbers.
Speaker 2: Look at the look Ahead lines from the Westgate. Teddy
Speaker 2: and I do a show on Mondays, The look Ahead
Speaker 2: lines on some of these games with six, seven to
Speaker 2: eight points. The Broncos game seven points, Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: Well, we talked, we talked about we were watching the
Speaker 1: Kansas City game on Sunday morning, Cancelly lost to Tennessee,
Speaker 1: and we were talking about the line for Kansas City,
Speaker 1: Denver and Christmas, and a lot of the conversation, basically,
Speaker 1: in so many words, was how could they possibly score?
Speaker 1: That's how the number ended up being so high. Now,
Speaker 1: later in the afternoon, Denver's defense got carved up by Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: But think about in the morning, We're looking at that
Speaker 1: game like Denver's pretty good defensively, Cancy has a third
Speaker 1: string quarterback. They have nothing to play for.
Speaker 2: I think the score you will you either lay it
Speaker 2: with an awful number or you don't play it. You
Speaker 2: have no idea what you're gonna see from this Kansas
Speaker 2: City team. Everybody told me last week they quit. At
Speaker 2: least everything I heard out of Kansas City, it sures
Speaker 2: hell look like they quit. Gardner minsher Terras is acl
Speaker 2: in Tennessee. The Broncos are coming off a loss, and
Speaker 2: they fucking hate Kansas City because guess what's happened for
Speaker 2: the last basically decade. So if you don't think this
Speaker 2: is it's still gonna want to scull you know what?
Speaker 2: Them school whatchuck them?
Speaker 1: Oh? I didn't. I had never heard that expression hurt.
Speaker 1: I think there's some truth to that. But I will
Speaker 1: say that we've seen Denver do this before. They were
Speaker 1: at home against the Raiders that Thursday night game and
Speaker 1: they just like, no, I'm sure they I'm sure they'd
Speaker 1: love to kill the Bronco or the Chiefs. I'm sure
Speaker 1: they love to blow them out an arrowhead, but they've
Speaker 1: got bigger fish to fry. They've got playoff aspirations.
Speaker 2: You're right. And one of the things Marco said is
Speaker 2: he goes, Kelly, look at some of these defensive players.
Speaker 2: He goes, they don't play as hard these last few weeks.
Speaker 2: They don't want to get hurt before the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I agree with that.
Speaker 2: I never have ever thought of that as a handicap Situationally,
Speaker 2: like they bet two unders this week that I was
Speaker 2: told about. Krap gave me one on the show, the
Speaker 2: under in Philadelphia, okay, and then the under in Seattle.
Speaker 3: Can you confirm both of those?
Speaker 1: Who are they playing? Yeah? The Philadelphia Bills line did
Speaker 1: move from forty five and a half to forty three
Speaker 1: and a half. Yeah, not really anything on.
Speaker 2: The Panthers, but those are the two. And then Marco said, look,
Speaker 2: he's like most of these games that don't get it
Speaker 2: doesn't matter for either teams. The defenses are going to
Speaker 2: sandbag it most likely, so you don't want to be
Speaker 2: holding an underticket.
Speaker 1: I will be on Last Call with the lovely Ariel
Speaker 1: Epstein on Sunday to try to give your audience more information.
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't just make stuff up. This is
Speaker 1: what I've seen. It's early week, but I will on
Speaker 1: Sunday morning, I'll be on with Area and I will
Speaker 1: do my best. Do you want to do a mailbag segment? Oh?
Speaker 3: Sure, pickle IQ on Xcess.
Speaker 2: Since referees are the reasons why we watch the NFL
Speaker 2: your books, look at who the referees are for each.
Speaker 1: Game, we probably should. We should.
Speaker 2: I mean the refs are seen like those Twitter accounts
Speaker 2: are dedicated to here's this guy in his last nineteen
Speaker 2: games are eighteen and one towards the over.
Speaker 1: The refs just like they're such a big part of
Speaker 1: the game. Now they have to make everything about themselves.
Speaker 1: Everything is about them being featured. I don't know how
Speaker 1: people like it. I really I don't understand it. I'm
Speaker 1: being honest with you. I don't understand how people like it.
Speaker 1: Like I get gambling, and I used to play fantasy football,
Speaker 1: but I don't do that anymore. Like, how do you
Speaker 1: find this entertaining? I don't understand.
Speaker 3: I hate fantasy. We got fucking smoked again this year,
Speaker 3: injury riddled.
Speaker 2: I just.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the next question you're.
Speaker 2: I was thinking about how I set twenty five hundred
Speaker 2: dollars on fire in fucking fantasy goose stl favorite underdog
Speaker 2: in the college football playoffs, I'm going with Bama.
Speaker 1: What's your favorite underdog? Kid?
Speaker 2: I don't think I better underdog. Let's look, let's look
Speaker 2: at some of these lines that I haven't even paid
Speaker 2: attention to because I just don't care.
Speaker 1: I'll say that I don't I think Oregon is going
Speaker 1: to beat Texas Tech and the Orange Bowl. And I
Speaker 1: did say that I think Miami's.
Speaker 2: Going to get their asses kicked by I think Miami's
Speaker 2: gonna get their ass.
Speaker 1: So I have to say ole Miss. I don't even
Speaker 1: really like ole Miss, but you're saying you got to
Speaker 1: pick a dog.
Speaker 3: I didn't want to hear that. I need Georgia to.
Speaker 1: Like them, but you're making me pick a dog.
Speaker 2: And I like the favorites, So I like the favorites too,
Speaker 2: but I will side with our question, ask or goose?
Speaker 3: I like Bama. I think Bama can make a run here.
Speaker 2: Bama showed a lot of resilience in the Oklahoma game
Speaker 2: that you did not watch.
Speaker 3: They were down seventeen nothing.
Speaker 1: I saw the first quarter and then you mushed it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah you did.
Speaker 2: You're like, oh, I'm so glad we found a way
Speaker 2: to let Alabama in the.
Speaker 1: College Alabama should not be in the playoffs just because
Speaker 1: they beat another team that also probably shouldn't have been
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Kill they beat Indiana. I'll admit that
Speaker 1: I'm wrong.
Speaker 3: But all right, the worst shift ever. You're not gonna
Speaker 3: like my answer, but I got it.
Speaker 1: What is it?
Speaker 3: Going to the Loja Ball In nineteen ninety.
Speaker 1: Eight, your family took you to Hawaii and no alimable
Speaker 1: Wrong Bowl game.
Speaker 2: It was awful. Well, first of all, we lost the
Speaker 2: Big twelve championship, and Aunt Alan made me because I
Speaker 2: was such a bad fan it was my punishment.
Speaker 3: She's like, for Christmas, you're going to Alimable. I'm like,
Speaker 3: I don't want to go.
Speaker 2: And then by Drew Brees. That was the worst Christmas.
Speaker 1: I remember that. I remember that game.
Speaker 2: I remember watching this second Worst Christmas nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 2: Yeah Bowl versus b YU. Still really don't like the
Speaker 2: Mormons because of that. I was like twelve the Mormon eleven.
Speaker 1: The Mormon people. Yeah, you don't like the Mormon commands.
Speaker 2: When I was there, I was like, I don't like
Speaker 2: you in your suits at the game and we got
Speaker 2: our asses kicked. Nother bad Christmas Cotton Bowl, see lots
Speaker 2: of bad bull game. Those are awful presents because your
Speaker 2: your entire childhood present.
Speaker 1: You get to go to a new city and go
Speaker 1: to a board way, You're entire.
Speaker 2: It's all predicated on them winning, and then it ruins
Speaker 2: Christmas if they don't win.
Speaker 1: I think the worst Christmas gift is the NFL taking
Speaker 1: over Christmas with their crap games.
Speaker 3: Isn't it better than the NBA list the NBA.
Speaker 1: Leave the NBA alone, Leave the NBA alone? What did
Speaker 1: the NBA?
Speaker 3: Now we can watch the refs instead.
Speaker 1: I can't believe you don't like Mormon people.
Speaker 3: That was a really a Mormon.
Speaker 2: It's not that I don't like Mormon people. I just
Speaker 2: I just I remember being like, why are they in
Speaker 2: suits at a football game?
Speaker 1: Dad?
Speaker 3: And he's like, Kelly there Mormon. I'm like, I don't
Speaker 3: get it. Well, Kelly doesn't get it.
Speaker 1: I heard what I heard. Next question.
Speaker 2: The plant class guy, are there any notable needs for
Speaker 2: NFL honors like MVP?
Speaker 3: I know you don't need Matthew Stafford because you've said that.
Speaker 1: I would say, like all jokes aside, I can't really
Speaker 1: imagine a worst result for our sports book than what
Speaker 1: happened on Thursday night, Like the Rams winning or the
Speaker 1: Seahawks winning by one was the worst possible outcome in
Speaker 1: the game, because if you remember that line, it moved
Speaker 1: from like two to one. Seahawks one was the absolute
Speaker 1: worst outcome. There were like a million parts.
Speaker 2: You didn't know that Gamelan one.
Speaker 1: I just found that out because Louis h There was
Speaker 1: like a million points scored in the game. And on
Speaker 1: top of everything else, Stafford basically locked up MVP, which
Speaker 1: we get killed on. So I just and I'll say
Speaker 1: another thing too. That night I get home from work,
Speaker 1: I'm walking my puppies. I'm like on the complete other
Speaker 1: end of my community and I run into a customer
Speaker 1: and he's like, hey, you know he's a friend too.
Speaker 1: I like the guy. He's like, can I walk with
Speaker 1: you guys? And I'm like, yeah, what the hell you know?
Speaker 1: I'm zoned out with my dogs. And he's like, how'd
Speaker 1: you guys do on the game tonight? I'm like, I
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on in the game because I
Speaker 1: got my phone.
Speaker 2: You literally never reply. I asked you all the time. Hey,
Speaker 2: what do you guys need on this game?
Speaker 1: I don't watch when I go home.
Speaker 2: Nothing, You're the worst.
Speaker 1: And he's like, the Rams, he says to me, the
Speaker 1: Rams blew them out, went way over. I go, I
Speaker 1: swear this happened, and I'm like, okay, so we walk.
Speaker 1: I get home and I see that they're freaking Seahawks
Speaker 1: one by one and it went over and Stafford won
Speaker 1: the MVP, and I was like, this is why I
Speaker 1: don't watch his dumb league. What was the question? I
Speaker 1: think I forgot the question?
Speaker 2: Who besides Matthew Stafford? Yeah, do you need not need,
Speaker 2: need not need whichever to win him.
Speaker 1: It's good. That's a good like that question, let me
Speaker 1: look it up. I don't know exactly. That's more of
Speaker 1: a Casey question, you know, Casey. He does a very
Speaker 1: good job for us here.
Speaker 2: No everybody quit. All my favorite employees have since left
Speaker 2: the Wesky. But you Ed and Jeff Well, well, of
Speaker 2: course Art. I do love Art. But Art has been
Speaker 2: taking a lot of PTO on last call. Like, but
Speaker 2: he's been sending. He's been sending the needs in the chat,
Speaker 2: which is great, except for they were not that good
Speaker 2: last weekend.
Speaker 1: Art. Art does not take pto. Art is a worker man.
Speaker 2: We're taking PTO on Saturday mornings because he's supposed to
Speaker 2: in your office.
Speaker 3: Doing last call.
Speaker 2: Well, he's got stuff to do, man, I know, because
Speaker 2: you're not hiring enough staff.
Speaker 1: That guy's an absolute workhorse. I mean, I can't. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna listen to any anti Art stuff.
Speaker 2: I'm not anti Art, I'm anti you because you need
Speaker 2: to hire more people.
Speaker 1: Oh well that's not up to me. Uh, Miles, what
Speaker 1: the hell is Protector of the Year. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I thought so stupid. Uh, we're gonna lose on Miles
Speaker 1: Garrett defensive plarity I can tell.
Speaker 2: You that that's all righty okay. Great Turtle Sports on
Speaker 2: X said, would voters look past Rabel for Coach of
Speaker 2: the Year because he won it not so long ago?
Speaker 1: You think so, like a like a fatigue thing. I
Speaker 1: don't think so. I think what about the guy in Chicago.
Speaker 1: He's done a great job.
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson.
Speaker 2: God God does mattuh Dan Campbell Matt Campbell, same thing.
Speaker 3: They're both garbage without a good offensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a really good jobator.
Speaker 3: Sorry, whichever, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: Dan Campbell looks washed.
Speaker 1: The guy who's done a great job is the Jacksonville coach.
Speaker 1: Remember when he had his first press conferences and he
Speaker 1: said like duval and everbody thought he was like a dufist.
Speaker 1: He's done a good job with Trevor Lawrence and they've
Speaker 1: had a really good season. He'd be a guy. But
Speaker 1: the guy he won't win it. But the guy that
Speaker 1: really should get considered is Kyle Shanahan. You know, if
Speaker 1: if San Francisco win their next two games, they are
Speaker 1: the one seed in the NFC.
Speaker 2: Dude's amazing. I have won the Super Bowl and that
Speaker 2: was dead to right.
Speaker 1: We want to think about all the injuries they've had,
Speaker 1: especially on defense.
Speaker 2: I thought they're gonna win the Super Bowl. So I
Speaker 2: told my fantasy team to draft me a bunch of
Speaker 2: Niners and they all died.
Speaker 1: If they if he can win those two games, I
Speaker 1: think they play Chicago. I know they play Chicago on
Speaker 1: Sunday night, and I think they play Seattle the last
Speaker 1: week of the year. If they win those two games
Speaker 1: and they're the one seed, how could he possibly not
Speaker 1: be the coach of the year. I don't even think.
Speaker 1: And Robert Salah, the defensive coordinator, he deserves a lot
Speaker 1: of credit because he got fired. Yeah, he got fired
Speaker 1: by the Jets. He goes back to the forty nine
Speaker 1: ers be their DC. He's done a fantastic job without
Speaker 1: all these key players like Nick Bosa, Fred Warner. That's
Speaker 1: the that I think is the best coaching job I've
Speaker 1: seen in the NFL. Although Rabel. Rabel's done a great job.
Speaker 1: But he's what is it? Is it your this his
Speaker 1: first it's his first year. The wow. But he hasn't
Speaker 1: had he hasn't had the injuries to deal with the
Speaker 1: forty nine ers have had.
Speaker 2: They haven't had to play anybody He's played an easier schedule.
Speaker 1: I was about to say, you're right, San Francisco is
Speaker 1: in the hardest division in the league. If they win
Speaker 1: those two games, that would be my vote.
Speaker 2: There you go, Oh my god, I would love for
Speaker 2: San Francisco to get back to I. That would make
Speaker 2: me feel very vindicated that maybe I don't have as
Speaker 2: bad a karm as I thought I did. Because Week
Speaker 2: five or six, whenever, brock Party basically was like dead
Speaker 2: and George Kittle was already dead. I was like cool.
Speaker 2: And then Nick Bosa got hurt and I was like, wow,
Speaker 2: I guess I should never bet on a team to
Speaker 2: win this again.
Speaker 1: Isn't Brandon Ayuk like a wall like they?
Speaker 2: Honestly, I don't know, but everything that could have happened
Speaker 2: to that team happened, And I was like, wow, And there.
Speaker 1: Are two and there are two wins away from being
Speaker 1: the one seed.
Speaker 3: That's crazy.
Speaker 1: It's an amazing it's an amazing coaching job. All right.
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas, Kelly, don't ruin Christmas for bread. Don't ruin
Speaker 1: Christmas for bread?
Speaker 2: How would I wru on Christmas for Brett? San Francis
Speaker 2: thirteen to one.
Speaker 1: To go crazy? If Dallas is broken by going crazy.
Speaker 1: If Dallas loses to the football team. Don't do that.
Speaker 3: Dallas is not gonna lose to the football team.
Speaker 2: If anything, the Cardinals are somehow going to beat Joe
Speaker 2: Burrow because he's gonna like hurt his foot or something stupid. Again,
Speaker 2: just like last week, I was scared to take the Saints.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be fine. The Cowboys are gonna be fine.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be the Bengals that pull a Texans. The
Speaker 2: easy one is the one that always it's not easy.
Speaker 1: It's kind of true.
