Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Delanie Walker’s Hot Streak & Christmas Energy

• Delanie went 6-0 last week, bringing his record to 34-13 since Week 10, making him the biggest story of the year among “the boys.”
• “The glory to it all is I never gave up. I canceled out the noise. I put my head down and I grind.” – Delanie Walker [07:08]
• Walker gifts the crew signed Delanie action figures ("kung-fu grip and all") as inspiration:
  “When they look to this, they'll know what greatness look like.” – Delanie [07:53]
• The boys celebrate their betting success and riff on the importance of grinding, staying the course, and not letting outside noise impact performance.
• Running inside jokes about everyone’s betting standings–Compton is in last, supposedly because “his whole family is sick,” which they joke is just an excuse for bad picks.

It's called Pass the Leg. My turn. Here's how it works. Start a group build, add your pick, then pass it to your friends so they can add theirs.

And don't forget to use your 30% pass the leg profit boost token. I will go first and then I'll rattle off Williams. I've got R.J. harvey, running back, Broncos. They are playing the Chiefs. Chiefs have clearly packed it in. William is going ceedee lamb against the Commanders. Had some scrambled eggs a couple of weeks ago. He's back. He's feeling nice. Commanders Delaney, where are you headed?

[B]

Well, I'll take that leg and I'm going Jameer Gibbs Lions versus the Vikings. And I'm going to pass that leg to Clay.

[F]

I got Jettas. Justin Jefferson, anytime. Touchdown against the Lions.

[A]

That's beautiful. If you like that parlay, if you feel it, you're a little nervous about passing your own parlay with your friends. And you're knowing to yourself as you watch this every single week, hey, the boys actually hit on their bet. The boys parlay last week. Round of applause for that. You're thinking, these boys might be hot, they might be fine. This parlay that we just put together is +1440. That feels nice. That feels like something that Clay tells you at a Thursday night stream. And you go, that. That sucker can hit. Can it? That sucker can go. A lot of things to go over today, boys. We have a lot of games, but we're not going to look past Delaney Walker and this Fett he's got on today. What's. What's going on?

[B]

You know, man, I was sitting at the house. Yeah, you were, you know, watching the games, just watching those. Check, check, check, check. And I'm like, damn, looks like I'm about to go 6 and 0. So I put on a hundred waters, blanket me. And I sat there.

[A]

No free shout outs.

[B]

No free shout outs. And I'll start thinking about previous weeks when I was down. But I wasn't out. The noise was getting loud. People sitting on the side of me. You're too slow, you're too fat. We gonna put you in the crowd. I ain't let the noise get to me. I put my head down and I grind. And you want to know why I have on a fatigue? Because that's what deer hunters do. They put their head down, they don't make a noise, and they wait for that 8 point buck to walk by. And when you get that thing lined up in those scopes, you pull the trigger. And that's what I did. I pulled the trigger.

[A]

How many times?

[B]

I may be doing this five times in a row. But the glory to it all is I never gave up. I canceled out the noise. I put my head down and I grind.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Because I saw greatness on the other side. And if you need help with greatness, you find that greatness. I know it ain't easy. It's tough. It's hard to find somebody to look up to. So I'm gonna take a page out of Clay Matthews book. Because like I said, it's hard to find greatness.

[A]

We had a gift.

[B]

It's hard to find greatness.

[A]

Your flower's got a grill.

[B]

Yeah. It is hard to find greatness. So I thought I would gift these guys an action figure kung fu grip of myself.

[A]

Is that a real signature?

[B]

Signed and everything, Right? Because when they look to this, they'll know what greatness look like.

[F]

Oh, this is fantastic.

[A]

We get to keep this for real.

[B]

You get to keep these?

[A]

Oh, my God.

[F]

Just know that this is great.

[B]

Limited edition joints, action figure, kung fu grip. And then this one is for Will Compton. He couldn't be here today cause he in last place.

[A]

And you. You. You said this. The box is inside. You actually signed.

[B]

I signed those and I signed the inside of them.

[A]

You signed the inside?

[G]

You open it up.

[B]

I open it up too. You open it up inside limited edition joints.

[A]

Can I pop it?

[B]

Yeah, pop it.

[A]

I can pop this.

[F]

By the way.

[A]

Usually trigger five times. You pull the trigger six times.

[B]

Six times.

[A]

And no one ever. No. I love the fact that you correlated deer hunting with grinding. No one ever does.

[B]

No one ever.

[A]

Glad you did.

[B]

No one ever does this. It is a tough sport. Okay.

[A]

It's. Oh, you hunt for sport.

[B]

Yeah, I hunt for sport.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

I'm looking at these stats. Delaney on the back. That's only 15. 16 and 17.

[B]

[F]

[A]

He said went nuts. Look at that.

[B]

[F]

[B]

[F]

They won't put that on.

[B]

They won't do this.

[F]

Any gang affiliation. We don't need.

[A]

That I love more than anything. Your speech is incredible. But you referring to this as an action figure with my favorite part of the whole thing clearly a bobblehead. Clearly. Dude, that is. That is awesome.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

God damn, I love it.

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

This. Yeah. Yeah, man.

[F]

You know, great speech, great action figure. We couldn't start to show up any better.

[A]

Clay, you listen.

[G]

Two and four.

[A]

Hey, Moneyline Matthews. You had a song come out about you. People are now whispering that you've drinking the Kool Aid a little bit. Like you see, you went off that one week and you decided to change the entire program of the show. Some people didn't like it.

[F]

Some people.

[A]

And you. Some people.

[F]

One people. No.

[A]

No. Some people. Some people. Some people. There's got to be another one out there, right? Which would make it some. You're Doing this.

[F]

Yeah, it's kind.

[A]

It's. Hold on. We got to write the ship here.

[F]

Okay, hold on. Hey, are we. Are we talking about that juicy succulent.

[A]

So glad you're Christmas.

[F]

15 leg parlay. I put on Thursday night's Rams Seahawks game. Cuz I hit buddy too.

[B]

You did.

[F]

Feeling good about myself.

[A]

On the Thursday night game last week, the last stream of the year, you came in with 15 and you made everybody write it up.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Checking boxes, checking your phone. I think your phone died. That's how many times you checked your phone.

[F]

Because I knew it.

[A]

You knew it.

[F]

I knew. I know we can't guarantee.

[A]

Can't.

[F]

But I guaranteed it was gonna hit.

[A]

You did.

[F]

And when it does, you.

[A]

That was at the camera on. And it was off the record. You did guarantee.

[F]

But to your point, 2 and 4, it's not up to the stage.

[A]

Just to show.

[F]

But they don't call me Moneyline for no reason. I put one money line on an underdog last week. One and.

[B]

Oh.

[F]

So what I'm realizing is the spreads are for chumps.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

All right.

[F]

Yeah, we gotta get back to the Moneyline way. Okay. Because there's noise telling me like, don't bend the knee to Taylor.

[B]

Yeah, don't bend.

[A]

Cause I'm out there.

[F]

Or you're just like, spread this, spread that.

[A]

Right, right.

[F]

And I'm like, ML this, ML that, you know?

[A]

[F]

There's two MLKs.

[A]

Talking about Timothee Chalamet, Jamie Foxx, Will Smith.

[F]

But listen, we're gonna. Hey, we play off each other real nice. You guys do six and. Oh, he took a little something from me. You know what I'm gonna take from him? The Juice. Cause he's going 6 and 0. I'm just hoping for a little touch of that. I could break 500 would be a great week, but we're gonna aspire for a great greater things.

[B]

Yes, sir.

[F]

Five and one this week, maybe six, zero. So let's get started with this Christmas Rapid fire.

[A]

Okay, you want to be rapid fire?

[B]

No. All right.

[A]

Jeremy Klump is going to run us through rapid fire real quick. He's going to say the game, the line and the total. And we're just going to answer what our answer is.

[H]

Yes, sir. Cowboys at commanders. Cowboys minus seven. Commanders plus seven, over. Under 50 and a half.

[A]

Commander's plus seven.

[F]

Give me the Cowboys money line right here. Tough divisional game. You already know it's going to be closer than most people think.

[B]

Cowboys. Mine is five and a half.

[A]

Love it.

[H]

And Will Compton has the Commanders plus seven. Next game, we have Lions at Vikings. Lions minus five and a half. Vikings plus five and a half over under 44 and a half.

[A]

Give me the Lions minus two and a half.

[B]

Lions. Mine is five and a Half.

[F]

J.J. mcCarthy in the Vikings money line here.

[H]

Wow.

[A]

Justin Jefferson. We should have saw it coming.

[B]

But JJ may not play McCarthy.

[F]

Yeah, I heard. X Ray said it was negative.

[B]

Oh, okay.

[A]

Now it's a toughness thing.

[B]

Yeah.

[F]

Yeah. Well, we know how that's going to play. Maybe I should change my.

[B]

You good? I just wanted to make sure you knew he may not play.

[H]

Will has Lions minus five and a half there. And then the last game on Christmas, we have Broncos at Chiefs. Broncos minus 12 and a half. Chiefs plus 12 and a half over under 36 and a half.

[A]

Chiefs have truly packed it in. Give me the Broncos -12 and a half.

[F]

Give me the Broncos money line.

[B]

Under 36 and a half. Whoa.

[F]

Under.

[H]

And Will Compton is also taking the under 36 and a half. Broncos money line is crazy.

[A]

Broncos money line is crazy. What is that?

[F]

No, you parlay those three, you parlay those three, it's a Christmas miracle.

[B]

That money, that 12.

[A]

Moneyline king.

[H]

Broncos.

[B]

I can't even read it.

[G]

Broncos money line is minus 1,000.

[A]

That's okay. You parlay those things up, you might hit minus 400.

[F]

Hey, easy money right there.

[A]

You feel me? Can't guarantee.

[F]

That's not a guarantee.

[A]

Can't guarantee it.

[F]

Easy.

[A]

Ooh. That Vikings money line is what really sent you off.

[F]

Sometimes you just gotta take a chance in life.

[A]

Sometimes you do.

[F]

It's like Philip river said, you don't know what's gonna happen. You gotta put yourself out there. And I'm scared a little bit. I'm scared. I'm nervous. It's okay to be afraid, but I'm gonna go after it.

[A]

Fear's like fire, dude.

[F]

I wanna be great.

[A]

You can use it the correct way. You can keep yourself warm. You can cook. You let it get out of control. That's how wildfires start. Oh, yeah.

[F]

You know, the fire rising.

[A]

Fires rising, fires rising. Delaney. We said before the show, every single game, you're gonna start off, let's do it. And if you want to taste something good.

[B]

Form Energy.

[A]

Form Energy delivers best in class taste with natural flavors and zero sugar. Form Energy has natural caffeine derived From Green Tea. Form comes in a variety of flavors. Available in Screamin Freedom, Great smash, Blue Blitz, Orange Fury. Perfect for those who put in the work. So if you're somebody who wakes up in the morning, gets their hustle on, gets a workout in, full day of work, still gives it their all when they come home, you are a form energy guy. Form energy. We do the work. Back to the episode.

[D]

What a matchup we got, y'.

[B]

All.

[D]

This is that classic HBCU vibe. Non stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lit. Chance echo drum beat, everybody showing that school pride. A game like this, yeah, it calls for an ice cold Coca Cola. Ah, crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there. Yeah, that taste always hits the right note. Just like the band at halftime. And just like that, we're back at it. Passionate fans, school colors everywhere. And in ice cold, cold Coca Cola, that's a winning combo. No matter the sport, no matter the yard. Everybody knows fan work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca Cola and keep that HBCU pride going.

[E]

So you're telling me that the AI that's meant to make everyone's job easier to manage just adds more to manage? On top of the thousands of apps the IT department already manages, Funny how that works. Any business can add AI. IBM helps you scale and manage AI to change how you do business. Let's create Smile to business IBM.

[C]

Breaking news everybody. Not everything is terrible. I repeat, not everything is terrible. The Ripple effect with Jenna Kim Jones is proof that the Internet, it hasn't ruined humanity entirely.

[G]

Clean the world. We have almost 10,000 hotels that operate our soap and plastic recycling program. And we have created and distributed 90 million free bars of soap to children, families, mothers in 127 countries across the globe.

[C]

It's like magic, you guys. So put down your doom scroller and pick up your faith in humanity and join me, Jenna, for the ripple effect. It's a reminder that you can start a ripple that changes everything. You really can.

[G]

Best stat of all is that the death rate to children under the age of five dying to hygiene related illnesses has decreased by more than 60% since the day we started.

Listen to the ripple effect with Jenna Kim Jones on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[A]

So the first game is Ravens at packers. Packers are minus two and a half. Total points in that game is 40 and a half points.

[B]

So y' all know how I feel about the packers, right?

[A]

How do you feel about the Packers? Just for clarity, if there's somebody watching.

[F]

For the first time, the packers do not play well on the road. And my man six zero. He called it and he just said it.

[B]

They do not play well on the road. But they are at home against the Ravens who do not run. Derrick Henry and those. The only thing about this one is Malik. Who is Malik going to be if we don't get Jordan Love? Who will Malik be? We saw Malik make some great passes last week. And I'm going to ride on this guy. I'm going to ride on him because he is a titan and I believe in him as a titan and I'm going to believe in him as a Packer. So either or Malik or Jordan Love starts taking the Packers. Taking the packers two and a half.

[F]

Can we just talk about before we move on, just to put, you know, a flower in the grave for the packers real quick. And that Bears lost last week, I mean, it's tough. That was a tough game. They, they, they, the packers, we squandered such a great performance for what they had to overcome. I mean, no Micah Jordan Love gets hurt early in the game. Malik Davis throws a 33 yard dart to Dobbs. I believe. Like they just look so good in an onside kick. Just swat that thing out of bounds. You needed a, you know, smart.

[B]

Yeah.

[F]

Yes. Like just swat it out of bounds. And then that pass, I mean it was, it was fun to watch as a fan. But then the noise, you know, dimensions started lighting up.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

Because I, I put it out there before the season. I'm hoping the packers and Bears play again in the playoffs. Cause that'll be fire. I just want to remind you boys of the year 2010. Packers went on the road to Soldier.

[A]

Field talking about 15 years ago.

[F]

Yeah. But it's relevant, right? Because those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it. Packers lose at Soldier Field to a last second field goal. It was tough. The boys were down. They win Week 17 against the Chicago Bears to make the playoffs as the sixth seed. They go on the road versus the Philadelphia Eagles and Michael Vick dub. They go on the road versus the 142 Atlanta Falcons in the Georgia Dome dub. And who do they see again in the NFC Championship game at Soldier Field? The Chicago Bears led by Clay Matthews in that packers defense. A rod in the offense. We went in there, we got the dub all the way to super bowl xlb. It's destined to happen again, boys. They split the season series. They're going to have to play again in Soldier Field. Put it on your calendars. Boys, NFC Championship game at Soldier Field. Bears with the win to the Super Bowl.

[A]

Can I ask you a question? Yes, sir. Do you find it kind of interesting that Aaron Rodgers says, I own the Bears? And because Aaron Rodgers won a game with the Steelers, the Bears solidified a spot in the playoffs.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Hey, Poetry, Aaron. Now it's poetry.

[F]

Who they play? The Lions.

[A]

He just.

[F]

He owns everybody in the nfc.

[A]

He owns everybody in the nfc as long as he's playing.

[F]

He just talking shit. Talking about being 42 years old, out running buddy to the sideline. I loved it because that's a rod. That's what he is. He's having fun throwing darts. But I digress here. I like the packers, too. Coming back home, is Lamar gonna play? Derrick Henry did have some success last week running the ball, but their backup play, Huntley, yeah, he played well as well. But I like the packers here. They've got more on the line. I think the Ravens season is over. I wouldn't be surprised if they faced a little adversity and they decided, hey, you know what? Let's get them next year.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. The Ravens, when they played the Patriots, the biggest takeaway was like, you should have probably used Derek Henry Moore. He was going off 128 yards and two touchdowns. Best performance since week one.

[G]

Yep.

[A]

And so I look at the Ravens, I'm like, you're clearly looking at a guy who's older. He's not what he once was, but he is still very. He's his ability to break away runs, to wear you down like he's a cat. The more you give him the ball, the better he's going to be throughout the game. And they can lean on that versus a backup quarterback. I am going to go the packers here. Big Malik Willis fan. I was kind of a Malik Willis hater.

[B]

Me, too.

[A]

At one point for a little bit, because I remember being in the huddle with him a couple of times. Cat didn't know his plays at all. He would just kind of. He would go cowboy a lot of times, just randomly, you didn't know what was going on. He goes to the packers, completely has a resurgence in his career. He's 2 and, oh, as a starter, when he has to come in for Jordan, Love. Every time he does come in now, it seems like he knows what he's doing. He knows what the checks are, he understands coverages, all those types of things. I like the packers in December. I like the packers at home in December. I like the packers at home in December. In primetime games, yes. Because they're 6 0.

[B]

Yes, indeed.

[A]

So I will be taking the packers in this game as well.

[F]

Would you say Malik Willis is the real life Jamie Foxx in any given Sunday?

[B]

Ooh.

[F]

He comes in, he's got the. He's not paying attention. He's vomiting all over. The Titans huddle. They get rid of him. He goes to a new team and now he's. You know that montage or that scene where the ball goes up and there. Oh, you'll play it while this is going on and then it's a montage. They catch it over and then they win a couple games and he's all. The Sharks are like this.

[B]

Yeah.

[F]

Maybe you need to rewatch it.

[H]

Have you ever seen that movie, Taylor?

[A]

I have not seen that movie.

[B]

Really?

[A]

What? I have not seen that movie.

[B]

Oh, man.

[A]

But I have seen that speech. I have seen that speech. No, not the speech.

[F]

The speech is great. I've seen the speech, the montage.

[A]

But there's a good couple late nights on a Saturday before noon kickoff game and I hit that speech on YouTube and I'm just double chinned up nude in a hotel bed watching things like it really is a game of inches, man. Tomorrow I'm going to find that inch. Not you down there, but on the field.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

So I haven't seen the game.

[F]

Check it out. And then let's. Let's discuss next.

[A]

The thing that makes me ner. Where did Will go?

[H]

Will is packers minus two and a half.

[A]

That makes me sick. It makes me want to go Ravens. I know, but does lightning really strike twice? Ryan Nolan on the back says Delaney went six zero. I agree. Delaney's on chat GPT right now figuring out what his next pick is for the game. Texas at Chargers.

[B]

My notes, he crazy.

[A]

Texas at Chargers. Chargers are favored minus one and a half at home. The total points in the game is 39 and a half.

[F]

What are you thinking, big dog?

[A]

Big D? What are we thinking, kid?

[B]

Man, this is. This is a tough one because the Texans, I want to say the Texans what? Is on a six game winning spree right now. Six games. But the Chargers is also on a four game winning streak, right? Is it four? They're on a six game, six game winning streak.

[A]

So both teams hot.

[B]

Both teams are hot right now. Both teams are hot. The stakes are for Texas is to win the AFC South. So this is big for them. They gotta come out, they gotta shine. The Chargers already clinched the playoffs. They trying to be the division leaders. It's gonna be a big game this Week. With that being said, who should I lean on? Who do I know the best? I know Jim Harbaugh. I know he's gonna get that team. Right? I know G wro. I know they getting everything going with that offense. And then your boy for the defense.

[F]

Tule.

[B]

No, no, the defensive coordinator.

[A]

Jesse mentor.

[B]

Jesse mentor. This is a interview for him to be a head coach somewhere else.

[A]

This boy needs to be maybe Michigan, who knows?

[B]

No, no, he ain't going back there.

[A]

It's too much going on.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. It's too much going on right now.

[A]

Would be great, though. Would be great. He would do great there.

[B]

He would do great.

[A]

He would do great there.

[B]

He would do great there. I think that NFL money, though. I think he want a little bit of that. So with that being said, Chargers is gonna beat the Texans. I'm taking the Chargers, man.

[F]

I love it.

[B]

Minus one and a half.

[F]

I'm tailing my boy over here. The last couple weeks, for whatever reason, the Chargers have been the underdogs. I've been taking money line after money line on the Chargers and they've been hitting. And I like them so much that I'm gonna take the spread at minus.

[A]

One and a half.

[F]

I'm gonna be a little adventurous.

[A]

Be a little adventurous.

[F]

Hey, just for this game, I'll get back to the money line.

[A]

Doesn't matter what the spread. But you're going to take it this way. I'm going to take creds for chumps, but not in this game.

[F]

You're right. We should go back to the money line here. I was getting a little crazy right there.

[A]

You're feeling the energy of the room. I completely get that you want to fall back a little bit. You're going to take Chargers money.

[B]

I mean, it's only 15 up.

[F]

You know what, though? No. I have that much confidence in Justin Herbert. Harbaugh. Hey, am I. Am I. Am I right in that? If they win out, are they the number one seed?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Yes. If they win, they the number one seed.

[A]

That is kind of crazy.

[B]

That's crazy.

[A]

Like, people keep talking about the NFC and how there's a gauntlet there, but there's the handful of teams that are gonna make it in the afc. Yes. I think you have an argument for everybody in there except for the Steelers.

[B]

True? I don't know.

[A]

A lot of true.

[F]

I don't know. Are we talking about the Steelers?

[A]

The defense is kind of cooking up a little bit, but I don't know. They just broken my heart. Once I get my heart like the Cowboys, I kind of like this and I punt on them. I'm an emotional cat. Clay, you know.

[F]

Well, why not?

[B]

The way the Steelers playing without Watts is crazy, though. Like, think about that.

[A]

Yeah, no doubt. But okay, so Texas Chargers, Chargers all year. What has been their biggest issue? Offensive line, injuries, their two tackles, They've been injured all year. These two defense ends, Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson, they are going to hunt all day. And I love your boy Herbert. He is a top five quarterback. I agree. I'm on board with all that. But both incredible defenses. You look at Houston last week playing the Raiders. Two weeks ago, the Raiders played the Eagles and it's like, yep, that's a good team playing the Raiders. They're putting up points the way they should put up points. Texans were. It was weird for a while where it was kind of close. They allowed him to score a couple times. Both these teams, I think offenses get absolutely deleted. So I'm going to take the under of 39 and a half.

[B]

I kind of like that.

[F]

Texans only had nine points through the fourth quarter. Offensive points, I should say. They had that Stingley interception. I thought the route was on, but after that point, I mean, it was a much closer game than I would have ever thought. That gives me cause for concern. Is their offense just like you had said. So I like the under, but their.

[A]

Offense has been a question mark all year. Herbert is dealing with some injuries. They're definitely getting the run game going more. They're throwing the ball better. You have to give them a lot of credit. But when you got two tackles, you're on your third and fourth tackle. That's when those two guys are just, they're salivating. They're just, they cannot wait to get after Herbert. He's going to make some moves with his legs. But then Nolan hit me with a weird station about the Texans. Texans defense has held their opponents to the lowest field goal conversion percentage of 63.6, which I don't know how that is even.

[F]

What does that mean? Blocked field goals?

[A]

No, they just. Apparently the teams they play, they're holding the field goal kickers to 63.6%. So I'm looking at all this information I'm gathering, I'm like, you know, I could definitely see Houston's defense completely canceling out the Chargers offense and vice versa. We got a low scoring game here. We got a boring one on our hands. But I'm gonna take the. I'm gonna take the under.

[B]

But, but the, you know, the Chargers kicker, he is kicker Is probably the best kicker point wise in the NFL right now.

[A]

It's gotta be Aubrey, right?

[B]

Aubrey.

[A]

Aubrey for Aubrey for the Cowboys. That got me 30 points in a week on fantasy football.

[B]

Well, I mean they kicking a lot of.

[A]

How insane is that? And we still lost kicker 30 points. This dude Delaney.

[E]

It was.

[H]

Texans are on a seven game win streak. Chargers are on a four game win streak.

[F]

But if you averaging them out, it's like, you know, same stage.

[H]

Yeah, Will Compton is a big believer of the Texans, obviously. So he is going Texans money line.

[A]

Oh my boy.

[B]

The Texans just scared me with that. The offense is inconsistent.

[A]

I know it's kind of weird and to be fair to Will, like he's got. He's got two kids and a wife that 103. He's hallucinating.

[F]

He doesn't know what he's.

[A]

He doesn't know where he is. You should have seen him yesterday. Stags under the eyes, breathing out of his mouth the whole time. Like what we got going on here, buddy?

[B]

You don't go to New York in December, I'm telling you.

[A]

I know but I'll tell you what. He had a nice little. He had a nice reason of like I'm doing this for my family. Clearly I don't want to go. But I think he's really set him up for maybe not going to New York other than for ESPN for the next decade. You kids are like dad, why don't we gone and he'll just pull up a whole portfolio of what happened in December of 25.

[B]

Especially the babies.

[A]

Yeah, dude. Baby are always stressful. Yeah, she's over one though, which is nice. Yeah, which is nice. Next game, Seahawks at Panthers. Seahawks are favorite minus seven and a half.

[F]

Delaney seven and a half. That's too much.

[B]

The line is crazy.

[A]

Going to overtime against the Rams and pulling it out. Crazy. Two point conversion, couple points. That game is 42 and a half. Where are you going, sir?

[B]

See the thing. See every game right now scares me because you got the Panthers.

[A]

Don't be scared.

[B]

The Panthers are a team you cannot count out. They are a team that will come out and show up and play as hard as they can into the last fourth quarter of the game and usually come out on top. But they are playing the Seahawks. The Seahawks may be the best team in the NFC west as we know for now they have beat the Rams. That has set them apart. They are playoff. They already in the playoffs. I think they got the number one seed.

[A]

That's their. It's their seed to Lose.

[B]

It's their seed to lose like Taylor said. But the Panthers, man, the damn Panthers. So with all that being said, I love the intro. I am taking the Seahawks minus five and a half. Damn.

[A]

Minus five and a half. Yeah. I love it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Clay, I'm just.

[F]

You're right. You're right about the Panthers. They're hanging around. We're looking for an excuse. Bryce Long. Bryce Young has continued to develop this year. I just feel like the Buccaneers defense last week and it took a Baker Mayfield, you know, last second interception to seal that game. The Seahawks different. The Seahawks defense is different. A lot of alliteration there. Yeah, a lot of Ds. So many Ds. You know what I'm talking about, right?

[A]

Delaney.

[F]

So many D's.

[A]

Batteries got low. Hamster stopped on the wheel. He's back. Get his homeless plane, brother.

[F]

This is a different defense, the Seahawks defense, and I think it's going to be a long day for Bryce Young. So I like the Seahawks money line here.

[B]

Ooh, yeah.

[A]

You like the team that's favored by seven and a half.

[F]

Money line, it's only minus 360.

[A]

You're right. Parlay that.

[F]

Parlay a couple of these right now. These are as close to guarantees the package bouncing back against the injured Ravens. The Chargers being the Chargers going out and getting his dub against the Texans and the Seahawks like I'm 30 right now. What are we talking about?

[A]

Clearly I like it.

[F]

What are we talking about?

[A]

We are all aligned. Except Price took an under on a game which we can both win. We can both win. Bryce Young, six game winning drives this season is the most in the NFL. He's having a Baker Mayfield type of surge late in the season. I really like that about him. This note has nothing to do with the game, but I think we should give Sam Darnold a little bit of credit here. Sam Darnold is the only quarterback other than who Tom Brady to win 10 plus games in consecutive seasons with different teams. So I mean, friend of the show. Got to give him some love on that. He's definitely resurrected his entire career. I look at the Seahawks, the game we watched, 15 leg parlay. I know I'm drained by that, by you hitting that. It's like, whoa, what a crazy high. I can only imagine how the Seahawks feel winning that game and overtime, getting a two point conversion. That was, you know, if it's going lateral, it's backwards. If it's backwards, it's backwards. I think that's how Greg Olson gave it to us. On bus one, Du Bois. So everyone agrees that just you got to. On a defensive standpoint, you got to finish every single play. Finish the ball in your hands if the ball's on the ground. Very emotional win for those guys after Sam Darnold, the last time those two teams played had four interceptions. What I'm getting at here is Seahawks up here. Panthers are in this position when the NFC south right now they just beat Tampa Bay, but no one's really talking about it. So I like the Seahawks playing a little bit down this week and the Panthers playing a little bit up, knowing they have Tampa Bay the following week, the last game of the season. So I'm going to be taking the Panthers plus seven and a half in this game.

[F]

I like it.

[A]

You like that?

[F]

I like it.

[A]

Put that thing in a bow. It's Christmas time. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

[B]

Like I was going to with the Panthers, but move the line at first.

[A]

But then I said, but you fucked with the Panthers by moving the Seattle line. So basically you and I take the same thing.

[B]

I know.

[A]

Yeah.

[H]

Will Compton is going with the over of 42 and a half.

[A]

I don't hate that.

[B]

No, I don't.

[H]

We have Clay's Seahawks Moneyline and Broncos money line in a parlay, and it's still only minus 247.

[F]

Wait, what? Bronco Broncos are playing for Broncos money.

[H]

Line for the Rapid Fire minus one.

[F]

Oh, that's a separate. That's a separate Christmas Day parlay.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

Yeah. Those three go together. They don't. They don't. We're not running.

[A]

When you woke up in the morning as a kid, did you have just one present under the tree? No. There'd probably be a couple. Even if one's just a pair of socks, right?

[H]

You're right.

[F]

Two parlays.

[A]

Pair of socks is too. If we're getting crazy, that's crazy. But yeah.

[E]

Okay.

[F]

Don't let it happen again, though. Plump. All right. Trying to. Trying to conduct the show here.

[A]

Trying to conduct a show here.

[F]

Continue on.

[A]

Sorry. Klump has been doing that lately. I apologize. Delaney Jaguars. Oh.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

You good? Yeah, yeah. If you want to take that.

[B]

No, I was looking at my notes.

[A]

Chat gbt.

[B]

No, bro. You see Chat GBT on here.

[A]

You had it on last week.

[B]

No, I did this.

[F]

Yes, you did. Obviously. It's right, though.

[A]

You do what you got to do.

[B]

Hey, I'm looking. I did have Chat gbto.

[A]

All right, let's talk about the Jaguars. They're at the Colts. Philip river started dicing up the 49ers early in the game, end up falling off late. Jaguars are favored minus six and a half. Total points in that game is 47 and a half. What do you have for us, Delaney Walker?

[B]

So I'm looking at.

[D]

What a matchup we got, y'.

[B]

All.

[D]

This is that classic HBCU vibe. Non stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lit Chance echo drum beat everybody showing that school pride. Game like this, yeah, it calls for an ice cold Coca Cola. Ah, crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there. Yeah, that taste always hits the right note. Just like the band at halftime. And just like that, we're back at it. Passionate fans, school colors, colors everywhere. And an ice cold Coca Cola. That's a winning combo no matter the sport, no matter the yard. Everybody knows fan work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca Cola and keep that HBCU pride going.

[E]

So you're telling me that the AI that's meant to make everyone's job easier to manage just adds more to manage? On top of the thousands of apps the IT department already manages? Funny how that works. Any business can add AI. IBM helps you scale and manage AI to change how you do business. Let's create Smile to business IBM.

[C]

Breaking news, everybody. Not everything is terrible. I repeat, not everything is terrible. The Ripple Effect with Jenna Kim Jones is proof that the Internet, it hasn't ruined humanity entirely.

[G]

Clean the world. We have almost 10,000 hotels that operate our soap and plastic recycling program and we have created and distributed 90 million free bars of soap to children, families, mothers in 127 countries across the globe.

[C]

It's like magic, you guys. So put down your doom scroller and pick up your faith in humanity and join me, Jenna, for the Ripple effect. It's a reminder that you can start a ripple that changes everything. You really can.

[G]

Best stat of all is that the death rate to children under the age of five dying to hygiene related illnesses has decreased by more than 60% since the day we started.

[C]

Listen to the Ripple Effect with Jenna Kim Jones on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[B]

I'm possibly looking at taking these Jags. Man, these Jaguars right now are probably second to the hottest team in AFC south behind the Texans. That's his word. That's what I'm saying. The Colts.

[F]

I don't know. It's a hot take, I think. I mean I'm so. I don't mean to break up Denver. I was just say Texans just squeaked by the Raiders. Whereas the Jaguars went on the road and beat 11 consecutive win Broncos. I mean, if we're talking about who's hot and who's not, who you think hotter. I'm just saying. Jaguars.

[A]

Rolling Jaguars.

[B]

And then you see the Colts, man, you see the Colts. You got Rivers out there. And kudos to Rivers to go out there to play the game he's playing, doing what he's doing. I am happy for him. The only thing that threw me off about Rivers was the C on his chest.

[A]

Too big.

[F]

He had a captain, but brother, there's no one on that offense outside of. Well, no, there is. They got left tackle, running back.

[A]

You're right. Quentin Nelson.

[H]

I don't think it was a captain patch. I think every player on the Colts had a see for the Colts on the left side of their chest.

[B]

Oh, for real?

[H]

Yeah, I thought the same thing.

[B]

All right. Hey, well, with that being said, since I was wrong, I'm taking Jaguars. And y' all know I gotta move the line just because the Colts move.

[F]

It up minus nine and a half.

[A]

To your money line.

[F]

Minus nine and a half. Wait, hey, hold on real quick.

[A]

Before.

[F]

Before you give this. I just some.

[B]

Go ahead.

[F]

Is Philip Rivers finishing out the season? I think the competitor that he is, he's going to want to see it through. Or do they go with Buddy. I don't even know his name. Who stepped. Yeah. Who stepped in last night from Notre Dame. I think that's huge as far as.

[B]

He played last night. At the end.

[F]

Yeah, at the very end.

[B]

Okay.

[F]

But you know, because the Colts are all but out of the playoffs here. Philip Rivers go back to Alabama or.

[B]

Damn, that man that made.

[F]

It.

[B]

Yeah. No, I'm still. No, no.

[F]

Have you been through Fairhope?

[A]

No.

[F]

Gorgeous.

[B]

Been in Huntsville where he live in Alabama.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

I mean, I don't mean to put in Florence.

[G]

No, I didn't.

[F]

No, no.

[A]

He's got fantascaloosa.

[F]

I've been in his house, but I'm just saying. Have you been through Fairhope? Beautiful.

[A]

I just named before. I've been to it.

[F]

Beautiful. Anyway, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Just something to think about when you're going to move that line up to minus nine and a half.

[B]

No, no, I was going to move it to minus five and a half this week.

[A]

Smart.

[B]

It's just because, look, I don't know what the Colts. Yeah, the Jaguars are hot right now, but you really don't know what the Colts. Because the Colts was a really good team and then they quarterback Got hurt and then they fell off. So they're still a good team. It's just that missing piece of the quarterback. Whoever can step in and make those plays for them. I think the Colts can get back on fire. But I'm taking the Jags -5 and a half, just in case. Insurance.

[F]

I like the Jags here as well. I love the money line, but I also. I love moving that line as well. The Jaguars line. Yeah. Cause I get a little nervous that they're gonna cover by more than six and a half.

[G]

Dude.

[A]

I feel like I'm just, like, hosting a show and these two are just talking through the lines, just moving them back and forth.

[F]

Hey, here's what I'm gonna do. If buddy boy plays back up to Riley Leonard. Riley Leonard. Win two Notre Dame.

[A]

Right.

[F]

Which just canceled their. Their rivalry with usc. Did you hear that?

[A]

Right?

[F]

What, they couldn't reach an agreement?

[A]

Yep.

[F]

Agreement on what? Money.

[A]

Extending the rivalry. Money.

[F]

I'm sorry. Oh, I think USC wanted to play earlier in the year, and so there's something.

[A]

Some sort of fine print. I don't know if it's money or not. Usually is narratives out. I heard there was talks about Michigan as well. That is now gone. And then one other big rivalry they had. They said, we're done with that, too. All lies. I'm making the playoffs every single year for Notre Dame.

[B]

Wait, so no more rivalry week, you talking about for these teams?

[F]

Yeah, they don't want to play us, see any more. Too difficult of a match, I heard. But yeah, I mean, maybe there's other reasons. Michigan. Too difficult. They just want to get these. Wait, they want to play, like, Central Missouri.

[A]

Scary spot right now.

[B]

Wait, did they just move USC to the Big Ten?

[F]

Right, but it doesn't matter names. Not in any conference. So they can play whomever, Whoever they want. They choose whomever.

[A]

So where are you going? Five and a half.

[F]

Hey, what's his name? Riley.

[E]

Leonard.

[B]

Riley.

[F]

If Riley Leonard plays, give me the Jaguars minus nine and a half.

[A]

Oh, you like? You see what I did there?

[F]

I told you, if Philip Rivers plays, just give me the Jaguars money line, okay? Oh, little insurance policy. Little insurance policy.

[A]

You took me on an absolute ride there. I'm thinking, oh, he likes Riley more than Philip Rivers. That he. All of a sudden he's with the money line.

[B]

Right.

[A]

Right after that.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Starts or plays?

[F]

Starts.

[A]

Okay.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

All right.

[A]

The Jaguars are the hottest team in the AFC right now. They're the only team to beat the Denver Broncos at home this entire year. The Colts Are in a very scary predicament right now. They're about to make history. First time since 1985 a team starts 8 and 2 and may miss the playoffs. That team was the Raiders. We said this on espn. People are saying we don't know balls sometimes. We talked about this early how the Colts feel like they're about to go on a skid. Since that. Since that claim was made on get up, the skid has taken place. I'm going to take the Jaguars. I think they're hot. The only cause for concern I have is you're now the top dog. You're up here. So last week, the Denver Broncos, they became the top dog in all of the afc. I started drinking the Kool a little bit. Then they drop a little egg to the Jaguars. Now I'm looking around. Who's my next girlfriend? Well, that's the hottest girl in the room. Let me go with the Jaguars a little bit. So that makes me a little nervous. But the Colts, where they're at, it's very hard to start a skid. We. We've been on those teams where it's like nothing and one thing's just not. Don't go right. It never goes right. So I'll be taking the Jaguars minus six and a half. Minus six and a half.

[B]

Clump.

[H]

Will also has the Jags minus six and a half.

[A]

All right. All right. Duvall, Duvall, Delaney, Walker. The Bears are playing the 49ers at the 49ers. Total points in that game is three, and it is 511 1/2 points. Sir, where are we going?

[B]

Great game. Great game.

[F]

Great game.

[B]

Great game.

[F]

Projected great game. Yep.

[B]

And the 49ers didn't let me down Monday night. Did not let me down. I was waiting on that leg just to hit that 6. 0. Christian McCaffrey, did you know, for real.

[A]

Did you know that you were on the. On the cusp of greatness?

[B]

Yes. Okay.

[A]

My fault.

[B]

I smelled it. So with the 49ers, man, doing what they had to do, taking care of business, they have a short week, a short week to turn around against a Bears team? Yes. Is the Bears offense as good as they could be? Maybe not. Is that defense taking away those balls? Are they number one in NFL for takeaways? Yes, they are. Will they have. Will the 49ers have one of their best receiving threats? We don't know yet. We still waiting to see what Kittle is going through, what injuries he is dealing with. So with that being said, if Kittle plays, I will take the 49ers if Kittle don't play. I'm taking the Bears and I'm moving that line till seven and a halfway.

[F]

Bears plus seven and a half.

[B]

Plus seven and a half.

[A]

So Kittle is worth negative four points to you. Negative four and a half points?

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

He the only red zone threat. If he's not in the game, he'll score in the red zone.

[A]

CMC.

[B]

I mean Chris McCaffrey.

[A]

Brock Purdy threw five touchdowns yesterday.

[B]

Chris McCaffrey is a beast when it comes to that. But I'm talking about when you need somebody to take people to heat off certain people. Kittle is that guy. You gonna have two dudes on him regardless. That's gonna leave somebody open. We know how good the Bears defense get takeaways if he's not out there. Trust me, them boys is going to be licking they chops.

[F]

Oh, I think the 49ers obviously have a lot to play for. We talked about the Chargers winning out and be the number one seed. The 49ers are in the same position. If they win out these next two games against all odds they will be the number one seed. Have a buy. And guess where the super bowl this year is. Santa Clara. So they could have a home game throughout the playoffs. Excuse me. The Bears amazing victory. Obviously a lot of momentum. It looked electric there at Soldier Field. But I'm not sold on their offense. You had the packers defense, had them bottled up all night. The time they really got in trouble is when the packers couldn't generate any pass rush. And there's not a team that's hotter on offense right now. On offense that is in the 49ers we saw Brock Purdy throw for five touchdowns. Even if Kittle doesn't play, they were still just mixing around Juwan Jennings, you name it. Tonjas, McCaffrey. I like the 49ers to win here. I like them to cover. Give me 49ers minus three.

[A]

Yeah, I like all that. I will be taking the 49ers as well. Interesting season storyline the 49ers have had. Brock Purdy starts early in the season. Clearly he signs that 200, whatever, million dollar contract. He goes out. Mac Jones comes in. Mac Jones does a phenomenal job against big time people teams like the Rams. Conversations start to happen. Should Mac Jones be the starter when Brock Purdy's healthy? I thought it was a ridiculous claim. However that was the narrative that was taking place. You called Mac Jones earlier in the year. This cat's a he's.

[B]

A dude.

[A]

He's made himself a lot of money. He's sitting there happy and healthy on the sideline right now while his boy Brock Purdy throwing five touchdowns in a game just last night. Because we're filming this on a Tuesday, Bears do have the second most yards per game as an offense. I think Ben Johnson really needs to be looked at for coach of the year. I think there's a couple coaches in front of him, including the one that he's about to play this week, Kyle Shanahan. When you look at the 49ers, not just this season, but the last couple of seasons, it's this team is contending, they have all the talent in the world on offense and defense. They get injured, they fall apart towards the end of the season, and then it's over for them. And that's kind of been the last few years. This year, they obviously had a lot of key injuries with Fred Warner and Nick Bosa going down on the defensive side of the ball. But Robert Sala, the defensive coordinator, he doesn't flinch at any of those things. The pass rush isn't as good, but the defense in the backhand has been, has stepped up and a whole lot better. And on the opposite side of the ball, you got Trent going down early. You had a bunch of receivers going down early, George Kittle going down. But now this offense is starting to get healthy, including Brock Purdy. Then I sit back and reflect on what's your relationship like? The 49ers, obviously. CMC Friend of the show George Kittle, friend of the Show Brock Purdy, friend of the show and then I linger on that name, Brock Purdy a little bit. And I think back to a couple of years ago. I'm thinking, fresh out of the league, trying to find my way. I'm on Kay Adams show. She's begging me for hot takes over and over again. I'm uncomfortable because these are kind of my guys. I'm not really out of it as much as I should be, but I am kind of out of it now. So should I bury the boys? Should I not bury the boys? I'm kind of just back and forth a little bit. I end up getting some intel from somebody saying, hey, Brock Purdy's not the guy. He just has aliens around him. I like a dumbass. Take that message. Say, I got this. Don't shoot the messenger. This is just what I was told. They go to the super bowl that year. They don't win, but they go to the super bowl that year. On the back of Brock Purdy. All those reasons that entire story rounds me out to where we started, which is 49ers minus three. That's where I sit on all this. Don't doubt I've already been proven wrong too many times to the point I have to be like, yeah, the 49ers are going to get it done. I can't take that many lashings. Yeah.

[H]

You know, Will took the over of 51 and a half in that game.

[A]

Good pick. I think that's a good pick.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

The boy, I hope he's seeing straight. I think he's hallucinating a little bit, but I like that pick. All right, this is second to last game before the true classic game of the week. Delaney, I feel like you've been on point today. Rams at Falcons. The rams are favored minus eight and a half. Total points 49 and a half.

[B]

So look, man, I've been in these shoes before when you a team that's already in the playoffs and you playing a team that has nothing to lose. I've been on the team that had nothing to lose.

[A]

And you lost.

[B]

But I'm saying.

[A]

Lost every time you.

[B]

Go out there and you sit in that locker room and you say, let's be the one to put the bad taste in that team's mouth. Let's be the team to go out there and smack them in the mouth.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

With the biggling now.

[A]

Let's be the team.

[B]

To make them definitely feet. Right. And with that saying, the Falcons can be that team because the Rams, it's a lot of noise outside of the building. You got families getting arrested, cats posting stuff, going on Twitch and joining all these.

[A]

Twitch.

[B]

Twitch. Is it Twitch? Yeah, I'm too old.

[A]

You're referring to Aiden Ross.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Him doing the anti Semitic. But he didn't know it was anti Semitic. But he was still anti Semitic.

[B]

Letting youtubers get you to do things on national.

[F]

Just flexing, that's all.

[A]

You just.

[F]

I made it. I made a career off that, that's all.

[B]

But you didn't rub your hand.

[A]

I love the fact I didn't. To be honest with you.

[B]

I didn't know what that mean.

[A]

I didn't know either. I didn't know what that like to be fair to Puka. Yeah. Unless somebody was like told him and they still did it. That's one thing. But if someone was like, hey, rub.

[B]

Your hands, I would have did the same thing.

[A]

I don't know. Yeah, because I don't know either.

[F]

You know what's crazy is how much it bothered him too. So much that he had like 10 receptions for 220 yards. I mean, we should take a moment of silence for him and hope that he bounces back, but continue on with all these distractions.

[B]

No, I'm just saying the distractions. Him trying to get Aiden and them in the locker room to do interviews during his before the games. And I just think they. They already feel like they there. Right. This can be a team they may look over. I'm not saying they're going to lose this game, but I do not think they're going to play the best they can play to their ability against the Falcons because this is a team they already looking past. And I told y' all before, sometimes good teams play to the bad team's level. So with that being said, that eight and a half is just too much guys out there. If you are a Mule or Jenny or a Mulet, you will know moving that line makes more sense. So we're taking the Rams minus five and a half.

[A]

You love five and a half, Clay.

[B]

Five and a half.

[F]

Yeah. I just think Kirko is just, you know, like, you don't know what you're gonna get on him.

[B]

You don't.

[F]

He's gonna throw for 303 TUDs or he's gonna lay an egg. But I think that offense goes through Bijan. He had another incredible week. I don't know, over 150 combined receiving. He was the leading receiver for the team. That just shows you, you know, how much of the offense he is. But I. I like the Rams. I thought. I think they got too much firepower. I think despite their loss last week. Would you just. Once Rasheed Shahid had that punt return for a touchdown. It just kind of collapsed on them. But I think the Rams, I mean, they still scored first in the playoffs like, or, sorry, India in overtime, like, they're still playing well. I don't know if they have a chance to win the nfc, I guess, if Seattle loses. So they're still very much in it. I think this is. I agree with you that plus or minus eight and a half is too much. So just give me the. Give me the Rams money line here. I'm not going to bother myself with spreads.

[B]

Nah, I feel you. I hear you.

[A]

I agree with what you're saying. It was like a lot of times some teams don't have nothing to play for, so they want to ruin somebody else's season. However, the Rams have a whole lot to play for right now, and that's Trying to take over that NFC number one seed, Matthew Stafford, the no look passes, he's playing at an MVP level. He's the front runner right now. Sean Wibe, his play calling is unbelievable. They had two backs in the backfield that are running the ball very effectively. We brought a Puka Nakua, he's got 165 yards plus in the last three games. I think he's the first second player in NFL history to ever do that.

[F]

CD.

[A]

Then you look at Bijan Robinson. He's got 2,046 yards of total scrimmage yards this year. He's 40% of the Falcons offense. So I look at these offenses. Kirkwood, Duggins, he's going to throw it for three, whatever, have a couple TDs, but he's also have a couple of interceptions. That's just screaming to me. Points. And so when you look at a line that's this big, I love the fact that you guys are, hey, we're hitting money lines. We're hitting five and a half. For me, this is an over game. That's over 49 and a half points.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

That's what I like. I like. I think the Rams defense has cooled off a little bit. Matthew Stafford, he, regardless of distractions, reading things, he knows how he's playing. He knows that an MVP might be right around the corner for him. He wants to show that off. Bijan Robinson, he's looking at the offensive offensive player of the year award. He's an incredible football player. Arizona kid can't disrespect it. And so I will. I'll be taking the over in that game.

[B]

Will.

[H]

Will has Falcons plus eight and a half.

[A]

Him and head coach go way back.

[B]

Yeah, I know, I know. He a good. That head coach is a good coach.

[A]

And Kirk.

[B]

Kirk cousin, his dog from when he was.

[A]

By the way, love how Kirk's just still doing his thing.

[F]

He'll be just cashing checks.

[A]

Cash and checks. He's on that like a Rod it plan. Yeah. Like 10 years younger.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

He's just still like, yeah, 36. All right. Obviously I'm gonna get the planet.

[B]

Probably still getting 10 million.

[A]

He's more of a fudget guy, though, you know.

[F]

You think they keep him around next year?

[A]

It depends. Is he.

[F]

Well, I mean, with buddy boy getting hurt coming off of ACL repair.

[A]

I know.

[F]

And you've already paid him. I'm making this up. 90 million or 60 million for two years.

[A]

Yeah. How much are you supposed to make next year?

[H]

Kirk's contract is four years 180 mil. He has a fully guaranteed 2026 and 2027.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

They're gonna keep him.

[B]

They gonna keep.

[F]

Well, they get the offset if he goes elsewhere.

[B]

Yeah, they can trade him somebody else.

[F]

But I think you need. As you see in this league, you need a backup.

[B]

You do.

[F]

Injuries are going to happen. Nothing derails the season. As we just talked about with the Colts, more than not having a. Comparable. Is that a word? Comparable?

[A]

Yeah, comparable.

[F]

Now, comparable is competent.

[A]

Competent.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Look at us. Nice job, Ryan.

[B]

College students, baby.

[F]

And then you see what Mac Jones does. So I mean, all that to say like, I think, oh, you're going to get paid.

[A]

He's going to get paid.

[F]

No, he signed a two year deal, I believe. Is that. Would you check Mac Jones? I think he's stuck.

[A]

Lot of guys. A lot of guys.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

He'll be on a different team next year. Someone will trade for someone has a choice. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[F]

You need a backup, Brock.

[B]

They got a guy.

[F]

That's what I'm saying. I'm just saying you got to have a backup quarterback.

[A]

I agree, but sometimes there's too much of a lucrative deal for you to say no to. You're just like now. We just hope and pray. Hope to God it happens.

[B]

Rams do. Rams. So I'm coming from Georgia. They got the quarterback from Georgia.

[H]

Stetson.

[B]

Stetson, yeah.

[A]

He's. He's the same age as Matthew Stafford.

[B]

I know.

[A]

He old as hell. He's a Covid kid, right? But no but, yeah, he was in college during COVID Allegedly. Yeah. So he's got an extra six years of eligibility. He can go back to college if he wants. We interrupt this episode to bring you True Classics. Specifically the True Classic Pima T shirts. They got that little curve on the side, grab the shoulders, grabs the chest a little bit. Your boy hasn't been in a weight room in God knows how long. But when I put that T shirt on, I think to myself, you know what? Maybe you'll be all right after all. You can find True Classic at Amazon and Costco, Sam's Club and Target nationwide [e-mail] what a matchup we got, y'.

[B]

All.

[D]

This is that classic HBCU vibe. Non stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lit. Chance, echo, drum beat, everybody. Showing that school pride. Game like this.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

It calls for an ice cold Coca Cola. Ah, Crisp and refreshing.

[A]

Come.

[D]

That's a game changer right there. Yeah, that taste always hits the right note. Just like the band at halftime and just like that, we're back at it. Passionate fans, school colors everywhere and an ice cold Coca Cola. That's a winning combo no matter the sport, no matter the yard. Everybody knows fan work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca Cola and keep that HBCU pride going, going.

[E]

So you're telling me that the AI that's meant to make everyone's job easier to manage just adds more to manage? On top of the thousands of apps the IT department already manages? Funny how that works. Any business can add AI. IBM helps you scale and manage AI to change how you do business. Let's create smarter business IBM.

[C]

Breaking news everybody. Not everything is terrible. I repeat, not everything is terrible. The ripple effect with Jenna Kim Jones is proof that the Internet, it hasn't ruined humanity entirely.

[A]

Let me start by saying it's a great day to be a gray shirt team Rubicon. You know, it truly is a team. Those folks, myself included, all had one desire, which. Which is helping folks in disaster. Trying to be a little bit of hope in a really, really bad situation.

[C]

It's like magic, you guys. So put down your doom scroller and pick up your faith in humanity and join me, Jenna, for the ripple effect. It's a reminder that you can start a ripple that changes everything. You really can. We give just that nugget of hope helping other people.

[A]

For some of our gray shirts, it's.

[C]

During a time when they need help and by helping others, it helps them. Listen to the ripple effect with Jenna Kim Jones on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[A]

Look good, feel good, play good. True classic game of the week. Every Sunday's got games, but one only fits just right. This is the true classic game of the week. We're talking about the Philadelphia Eagles at the Buffalo Bills. Bills. Josh Allen favorite at two and a half right now. Total points in the game is 44 and a half. Delaney.

[B]

Can anybody be better than the Bills right now? This late in December? Can any team be better than the Bills? Can the Philadelphia Eagles go up to Buffalo and beat the Bills?

[A]

Upset the Bills.

[B]

Upset the Bills. Is this possible? What's the weather going to be like in the in Buffalo weather report?

[A]

Clump on it. While he assuming cold, we're going to assume it's snowing.

[B]

Flurry.

[H]

That's Monday night.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[H]

55 chance of snow. Hey, Sunday during the day it is 80% chance.

[A]

Five and a half all day. Think about that.

[B]

That's a sign.

[A]

80.

[H]

80% chance of snow and you've been.

[A]

Hitting over 80% since week 10.

[B]

Hey, this was like a miracle. You know what I mean? It came to me. It was clear. I was at that staple. I saw it.

[A]

Yeah.

[H]

Last snow game in Buffalo.

[B]

I saw it.

[F]

Yes.

[B]

I saw it come to life, man. Have you ever heard the theory of home alone?

[F]

Theory of home alone?

[B]

Of the guy, the old man, being Jesus Christ.

[A]

What?

[F]

Oh, you know what?

[A]

I. I know what you're talking about.

[F]

I did see.

[B]

You know what I'm talking about.

[F]

I saw it on an Instagram reel. Yeah.

[B]

It is a miracle right now because I just learned that at the age of 42. So I am going to ride with the Buffalo Bills. The weather, the date and time of that game is going to make a difference, and I just don't see the Eagles showing up for it. Lane Johnson's coming back minus two and a half Bills. And Jalen Carter.

[A]

And Jalen Carter.

[F]

Hey, boys. I was so fired up for the Packers Bears game that I didn't even know the Commanders and Eagles were playing before I turned it on with four minutes left. So can someone tell me what happened? I saw the Eagles won. There's a fight at the end of the game. They clinched the division.

[A]

Yeah. Eagles. Eagles were down. They ended up coming back. Saquon Barkley had a couple of nice runs, but they played the Commanders.

[B]

Yeah. They played the Commander two weeks in a row.

[A]

They played the Raiders. They looked really good. They played the Commanders look really good. What's the narrative? Everyone's like, this team's back. Look at them. Their offense is figuring out all their issues right now. Now. Oh, they're throwing the ball. Well. Saquon Barkley's running the ball well, those two teams, Raiders, commanders. Muffins, right?

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

This isn't a continental breakfast, brother. It's time to get over it.

[F]

I like the Bills at minus two and a half. Nobody's playing better than. We've been throwing that a lot. Nobody's playing better than. Okay. Josh Allen is playing incredibly well. He'll get some MVP votes. I believe we are.

[B]

Stafford.

[F]

Okay. But he's playing incredibly well. If the weather is this, if it starts snowing, look for him to take over the game. Look for him to run, extend those plays. I just feel like the Eagles are too up and down and the Bills are just. They're. They're rolling right now, and they're still in it with the Patriots as far as who's going to win the AFC East. So give me the Bills minus two and a half.

[A]

Yeah. I'M going to be taking the Bills as well. I mean, the goal, the game plan for the Bills on the defensive side of the ball is going to be keep the Eagles out of the red zone and keep the Eagles out of the red zone. They're the most efficient team in the red zone this year. So the issue has not been them scoring points for 25 and in the issue has been getting to the 25 because they're very. They can be a very stagnant offense at times. They're not very creative in the running game. They're not very creative when it comes to their route concepts and how they attack other defenses. Bill's defense has struggled against the run this year. That gives me a little bit of concern. But Josh Allen, the way he's been playing Superman for so long, it's not a sustainable level of winning for me. But if he can do keep doing it for this year, this is the clearest path Josh Allen can have to the super bowl this year. Patrick Mahomes being out of it, but Joe Burrow being out of it. With Lamar Jackson on the fringe of possibly being out of it. This is going to be one of the only playoffs that you see Josh Allen's face and that's like, oh, that's the only recognizable face. Everybody else, you're like, who is that? Who is this?

[B]

It's all new.

[A]

It's all very fresh. I think the Bills understand that. I think the, the Eagles are kind of a pickled lipstick right now when it comes to, like, their offense, and people are really excited about them. Love that Jalen Carter's coming back spit gate in week one. And then you got Lane Johnson, who is an absolute war daddy. Like, if he's not playing the game, you know, something seriously injured for him to come back, that's just better for football. Big fan of his and the way he plays the game. But I'm taking the Bills minus two and a half year.

[H]

It makes me happy to say that Will is also taking the Bills minus two and a half. So you all took the Bills minus two and a half?

[A]

Yeah. I almost feel like I'm gonna. I should fall on the grenade right here and just take the Eagles plus two and a half. Even though I don't Eagles money. I'm out on the. I'm out on the Eagles.

[B]

How I'm out on them. Do we have a percentage on how many bets when we all take them, they either win or lose.

[A]

No, Jared should have that. It's not good. It's definitely not Good. Anytime you see any sort of media and it's all lined up with, with the graphic of the same team, it flips.

[B]

Yeah, I know.

[A]

You only see them posted when they.

[B]

All fail so far.

[A]

Yeah. But even like last week when we all took Oklahoma on get up, I'm thinking to myself I should just take Alabama right now. I should take. And it would have changed the game. I really believe that scene.

[B]

Was that all week they them all taking off. I'm like, dude, we too close to Alabama. Cause I'm getting just non stop.

[F]

You bet Alabama too.

[A]

You see the quarterback for Alabama 7 and 0.

[B]

Then I'll bet Alabama.

[A]

That's my boy. Quarterback for Alabama.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

He took that graphic it up and put it on the little wolf emoji.

[B]

Was he talking shit to you at the game?

[A]

He came on the show. No, no, he's, he's, he's like, he loves the show. No, no, I'm not, I know.

[B]

I mean like in the game.

[A]

No, he'd dab me up. He's like, I'm a wolf today.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

I thought, I think, I think because he, when he did that and got like got like all hyped up. I'm like, I know this. He messes with the show. I know he's like fans of ours.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But also I, he probably did see us be like we're not taking Alabama guys type of things.

[B]

Yeah, I know he like us but I just was like, it looked gassed up. Like he was like.

[A]

I saw that he had completely different energy about him from the SEC championship When we saw him to this game. Yeah, the SEC championship was calm. He was like, hey, good to see you guys. The whole thing very like relaxed this game he was like this juiced up and then they go down 170 and you're like, oh my gosh, Alabama sucks. They're terrible. Ever since they played Tennessee, they just ruined them and then they just came back and caught themselves a little dumb. They're a little too one sided for me to take the entire playoff though.

[F]

Are those next, are those next playoff games this weekend or do we have.

[A]

To wait next, next weekend it's on. Yeah, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.

[B]

Oh yeah, New Year's buddy.

[A]

That's gonna be some fun games to watch.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Be on the lookout for teams that had a buy looking slow looking.

[B]

I think they're same as last year. Always, always two weeks. It's crazy.

[A]

Except for Indiana and Ohio State. I think the teams that didn't have a Buy could skid a little bit here.

[H]

Ryan Nolan, got your stats. You are 8 and 11 when you all pick the same team.

[B]

8.

[A]

Yeah, I'll write all of us on that. All right. That is way better than I thought.

[B]

Yeah, I thought it was.

[A]

So fourth quarter, we kind of got that thing.

[B]

What's my parlay? If I was a parlay all my bets. So the. So the.

[A]

Cause the last time you were asking a lot.

[B]

Well, the last time he read it off, people took it and we hit and I, you know, I just had a lot of people.

[F]

They should wait. They should wait for the music. A lot of people think he's gonna be six zero.

[A]

We should parlay all of your picks. You are right.

[B]

And I turn eight $10 into $200. Cause most of the people rolled 10, you know, which is cool. Units is units.

[A]

Your unit is your unit.

[B]

Yeah, unit is yours. No judgment on your unit, no judges. That's what I'm saying. Unit 200 is a nice good unit.

[A]

Clay out here betting $790.14. I'm like, hey, why you betting that? He's like, I like it with my balance.

[B]

Cash, though. Yeah, cash.

[A]

How much you make on that 15 leg parlay?

[F]

4K.

[A]

You know what's messed up? Only every other week on this show we have this lucky. Better use the profit boost token and hit the 15 legs. And we read it out and clay hits a 15 legger. We don't even get a card like that.

[B]

It's only for college.

[A]

That's true. That's true. Boosting with the boys. Boosting with the boys.

[B]

Wait, but it's. We can use it though, right?

[F]

You can use it. It's just that, hey, even though we're one of the boys, we're really not one of them.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

You guys are one of the boys.

[F]

We're like one of the boys with a Z. You know, we're one of the boys.

[A]

Soldier boys. One of the boys, Zesty boys.

[F]

Is chill.

[B]

[A]
