What is it that makes the all new Hyundai Palisade Hybrid an incredible suv? Is it the spacious interior that's comfy for the whole crew? Or the capability to go off road? Maybe it's up to 600 plus miles of range. What if it's all of that and more? What is it then?
- [00:17]
B
The all new Hyundai Palisade Hybrid?
- [00:19]
A
Is it the driver behind the wheel? No. Are you sure? The all new Hyundai Palisade Hybrid. So much more than just another SUV. Visit HyundaiUSA.com or call 562-314-4603 for more details. Dan Bernstein Unfiltered Unfiltered on 312Sports.

B
Happy Friday and welcome to Dan Bernstein Unfiltered, a 312Sports podcast. We did it. At least for a day. We have not been remanded to U.S. federal comedy prison. So good job. I think they were just afraid of my clown car full of comedy lawyers. Comedy criminal lawyers. So we did it. But just remember, that's our. Our stated goal is to remain free. And we're walking the city like the free citizens that we are. And today we're here to talk about some bears stuff. Big game coming up. What are you laughing at already?
- [01:20]
A
I'm not. I'm just laughing. We're just talking bears stuff.
- [01:24]
B
But we do. I know we're not lying.
- [01:26]
A
I know we're not. I didn't say you were lying. Stop being so defensive.
- [01:30]
B
We have a fun Cubs list that we're gonna do today and it is Feedback Friday.
- [01:35]
A
Lots of lists.
- [01:36]
B
Lots of things. Lots of lists. I'm always making lists on this Feedback Friday. Today's episode brought to you in partnership with my bookie. DBU picks are coming your way. I'm very excited about mine today because, you know, I put time in, I put thought in for DBU picks that are brought to you by my bookie. And we're going to have those a little bit later on in the episode. But I'm feeling good today. I'm feeling good. I've shaken off the goop. I feel good and I'm full. I think I had the an ultimate like peak Bernstein moment yesterday. You know, one of my defining characteristics, of which I'm proud.
- [02:16]
A
Yes.
- [02:17]
B
Is my ability to find bargains. Thrifting food is the way I look at it.
- [02:23]
A
Yeah, it's really weird.
- [02:25]
B
Like some people thrift clothing, which I occasionally do, but for me, I thrift things that I can eat borderline expired or sometimes expired because I think expiration dates are for suckers and they're guidelines, basically. Not even really. I think they're a scam. I think they're a conspiracy. And this is why I believe that they are designed to make us part with our money.
- [02:48]
A
So of individual that doesn't believe in conspiracy theories or the universe and its doings and happenings. You subscribe to the fact that expiration dates on food products are a conspiracy theory to help us part with our money.
- [03:06]
B
To help Big food.
- [03:07]
A
Okay. Oh, big. Okay, I'm gonna add big food now.
- [03:10]
B
To our list, I think.
- [03:11]
A
Big food, big landscape, big food.
- [03:13]
B
Yep. It's coming after us. So you can always find me at a grocery store looking over the discounted stuff. If it's the day old baked goods, if it's the expiring meat, that's. That's where I. It's my happy place. It's harder at Juul because you got to see the yellow sticker that says 50% off. You know, there's some 30% off, some 50% off. You got to kind of. They don't have its own. Their own section there.
- [03:37]
A
Plus there's all the horses at Juul.
- [03:39]
B
Oh, that's true. The parking lot full of horses.
- [03:41]
A
It's a problem.
- [03:42]
B
Work your way through it. And then. But then I can pick up all of my luggage because I can. I can grab a couple of those, you know, city 10 cent bags for my overnight trips because I need them for my toiletries.
- [03:53]
A
Correct.
- [03:53]
B
So I saw the single saddest baked good I've ever seen in my life and I adopted it and I brought it home. Like the ugly puppy or the ugly kitten that you have to add to your home menagerie because no one else will ever adopt. Was a stencil. Looked at it and I first thought, what is that thing? And I then looked at it. It was a strawberry coffee cake.
- [04:22]
A
Okay.
- [04:23]
B
And it was old. It was kind of condensed and floppy and it had fallen out of its original container. It was simply placed in a clear plastic bag that was twist tied. And they slapped a price sticker on it. It was like $2.20. And I said, I have to buy this. I needed a dessert. And I said, I'm buying this. And it was so unfortunate looking. I almost. It was limp and I. And I. So I bought it. I bring it home and I set it on the kitchen island. And my daughter comes home and Zoe screams. She literally let out a scream. And she went, oh my God, what is that? And I said, it's. It's a. It's a coffee cake. And she Goes, oh my God. I thought it was meat or I thought it was a fish that you caught that you had cut up because it looked like roadkill. And I.
- [05:12]
A
That's what your coffee cake looked like.
- [05:14]
B
I hadn't really thought of this before. It looked like she thought I'd like caught a salmon or something and left it on the counter. Half butchered.
- [05:22]
A
Or drove over it.
- [05:23]
B
Or drove over. She was terrified by it.
- [05:27]
A
So this was coffee cake, a pastry.
- [05:30]
B
Yeah.
- [05:30]
A
That looked like dead animal.
- [05:32]
B
Well, to your daughter. So she called it murder cake.
- [05:34]
A
Murder cake.
- [05:35]
B
So she said, oh, she goes, could you move that away so we don't have to look at it? And I said, fine, I'll bring it over here. I'll bring it to the coffee table. Coffee cake goes on the coffee table and it's fine. Murder cake over here and on the murder table. And it was. No, that's no, murder table's up in Beth's murder cave. That's where she watches the murder shows.
- [05:55]
A
Got it? Yes.
- [05:55]
B
Okay, check. So it was awesome, by the way. It was spectacular.
- [06:01]
A
I'm sure it was good. Mariano's does a good.
- [06:03]
B
They have good. It was good. So I just wanted to say that was peak Bernstein. And the second half of the murder cake is for tonight.
- [06:12]
A
Yeah. We do cinnamon rolls, cookies, a lot from Mariano's. It's. It's a good. Their, their donuts are good.
- [06:18]
B
I also think the, the day old, like gourmet French bread.
- [06:23]
A
Yeah.
- [06:24]
B
I use for croutons.
- [06:25]
A
Well, that's. That's smart.
- [06:27]
B
I use that smart.
- [06:28]
A
And that, that's acceptable when I do.
- [06:30]
B
Ponzanella or when I do gaspacho. That is my, that's my go to for.
- [06:34]
A
But deliberately going and looking for old meat. Old, old product is just, it's not old. It's weird, man.
- [06:40]
B
Do you like dry aged steak? All that is is controlled spoilage.
- [06:44]
A
Right. But that's the key word though. Controlled. It's controlled like out on the counter at Mariano's and you know, it's a $50 at original price of, you know, $45 for this roast. That's not controlled. That's just old.
- [06:58]
B
It's just differently controlled.
- [07:00]
A
Okay.
- [07:01]
B
In the drumster, you can't spell controlled without old or con. You know that one guy in the group chat who hits a five leg parlay week one and then you hear about it the rest of the season. Speaking of parlays, stay tuned. I've got my first ever parlay pick for you and you're going to want it and it could be you when you hit big with my bookie. And they make it easy to get in on the action. College ball, NFL super contest, survivor pools. It's all the spreads, all the player props, the in game lines, whatever you like to bet, it's right there under one roof. And because you might be new to my bookie, we have a little present for you. You just use our code, dbu, Dan Bernstein, unfiltered. And any bet you choose up to $500 is fully covered. Make your play. If it doesn't hit, you get it right back when you opt in using the bet back bonus token. So no better time to jump in. No better place to play. Football's back. Make some money with my bookie. Did you watch any of the football game last night?
- [07:55]
A
I did after football practice. I threw it on to see the score.
- [07:58]
B
Do you have a good practice? You guys flying around out there?
- [08:01]
A
We did. We actually had a really good, really good week of practice as we get ready to host McHenry tomorrow. No, both teams off. I mean, we're struggling to start the season. They are as well, too, so.
- [08:12]
B
Okay.
- [08:12]
A
Someone's gonna walk away with a really important victory tomorrow.
- [08:14]
B
All right. Okay. Well, good luck.
- [08:16]
A
Thank you. Yeah, we played 3:30. If you want to combine fish.
- [08:19]
B
Go Cats. Oh, that's right.
- [08:21]
A
Go Cats.
- [08:21]
B
Go Cat. Go Cats.
- [08:22]
A
Yeah. Oh, see, I got the sorry special go cat shirt.
- [08:26]
B
Oh, I just. I have my Beloit Sky Carp mascot, Poopsie.
- [08:31]
A
Oh, is that what that is?
- [08:31]
B
Yeah.
- [08:32]
A
Okay.
- [08:32]
B
That's Poopsie the Goose. The Canada Goose of the Beloit Sky Carp.
- [08:37]
A
Nice.
- [08:37]
B
Go Carp. Is that a thing? I don't know. Is that a hat?
- [08:41]
A
Go Cats.
- [08:42]
B
Okay. For you, it's go Cats. Yes. We saw a couple things relative to the Bears last night. I thought when I was watching that game.
- [08:49]
A
Okay.
- [08:50]
B
One was that was a bad team. Playing with pride, the Dolphins. I thought that they had an exceptional effort despite a massive talent differential.
- [09:01]
A
Yeah. When I turned the game on, really surprised. Like, I, like, reluctantly turned the game on, thinking it'd be at least a three, if not four score game. And it was a one touchdown game. And I was like, oh, well, that's interesting.
- [09:15]
B
They took advantage of maybe the worst field goal attempt I've ever seen in the NFL. I don't know. I don't know what the hell that was. I thought it was partially tipped or I thought maybe he had some sort of mental breakdown or something. I don't know what happened. But it really, if you look at it, it looked like me standing over a tee shot. It was just an absolute dead pull hook, straight open hips pull. So he owes me royalties because I can do that. Lining up a seven iron on a par three and yank that thing into the water. An NFL kicker is not supposed to do that.
- [09:55]
A
One of the worst ones you've seen.
- [09:57]
B
Yeah. Why?
- [09:57]
A
I'm not just. I've just, I'm just. Because I, again, I missed a majority of the game.
- [10:01]
B
Yeah.
- [10:02]
A
With practice. I'm glad you stuck with it, though. That's good. Good for you.
- [10:05]
B
I did. Because when you see an 02 team, there's a lot of, of false data. After two games, there's a lot of noise relative to signal. So I don't, I mean, I still think the Dolphins are bad, but I'm wondering if you get the dead cat bounce from the Bears here just out of a little bit of pride and being able to play hard at home against a team that isn't really that good. So I was thinking about that. I also saw the starting right tackle for the Miami Dolphins.
- [10:40]
A
Oh, I know who it is now. When you asked me earlier, I couldn't remember, but now I, I had no idea.
- [10:45]
B
And I'm like, yeah. And I said, God damn, look at you. Larry Boreham.
- [10:51]
A
Yep.
- [10:52]
B
How about you? Larry Boreham.
- [10:54]
A
How about that, Larry?
- [10:55]
B
Look at him. Look at you. Yeah, look at Larry Boreham. That's Larry Boreham out there starting in the NFL.
- [11:02]
A
What is the, what's the Dolphins current like injury situation? Because I know, I mean, it's a, it's a reasonable conversation to have on T02 team. How do they perform their third game, big game Thursday night against a division leading potential super bowl contending team. I, you know, the injury factor for the Bears is just what, what does it for me. And when you're, when your coach is calling out the effort and doing it in the media to send messages to his team, there's a lot more there than just we're just not clicking right now because we're all new and it's all new stuff.
- [11:39]
B
I think it might be him also realizing that this is going to be a longer process than he thought. And that's his way of telling us, hey, lower the expectations for me, please.
- [11:52]
A
Yeah. And you know, maybe that is the case, but that is really alarming to hear given the fact the general manager, again, the general manager is signed, you know, through 2029, has more drafts to make in his draft picks right now just have not been successful enough on the football field so that it's that's a huge. That's a huge problem. Huge problem. Especially after all the money spent in the off season where you thought you shored up issues that were glaring issues last year for a team that, remember, started 4 and 2 under Matt Eber. Flutes or flu, As I should say, apostrophe flukes. So I. Yeah, it's. I. That's clearly when our conversation yesterday with Courtney Cronin, that this is what Ben Johnson is doing through the media.
- [12:42]
B
Yeah. And if you missed that, by the way, on Forward Progress, go back and give it a listen, because she was absolutely terrific. And the response we're getting has been great. You're gonna hear a little bit of that today. And I'm learning, too, sort of who's. If you're a listener to dbu, are you also a listener to Forward Progress? And it's gonna take us forever to actually get the objective information on how much crossover and how we can tailor things to do so. Again, this is. This is the beginning of the beginning, and we're trying to learn all this stuff. So I never try to presume that just because you're here means you're there. There because you're there means you're also here. So that's. That's been difficult for me to try to. In my limited brain capacity to try to keep some of those things separate and understand that they're different. They're different products, even though we're the same people.
- [13:30]
A
Yeah. But if you are there, you should be here, and if you're here, you should go there.
- [13:34]
B
Yes.
- [13:35]
A
Get the notifications alert on your YouTube chann. So you know when we go live, because we go live for. For Bears post game, which we will this Sunday once the Bears Cowboys game ends. We will be live on our YouTube channel for forward progress. You want to be there for it. The first couple have been really fun. I will.
- [13:52]
B
The second one started too early.
- [13:54]
A
Too early. Well, it started too early based on our preferences as Bears fans, but it started on time, given the nature of the game. Keep that in mind. Yeah.
- [14:03]
B
Don't sleep on it. The fact that if it's out of hand, we might just be frustrated enough to just flip the whole machine on and go, which is what we did.
- [14:12]
A
So that's why it's key to click that little bell icon on the YouTube page so you get notifications for when we go live. You will get alerted that the. The show is going live. And you know, speaking of going live, too, we eventually, because people have asked for it and have mentioned it to me about this show by dbu, Dan Bernstein, unfiltered, going live at times. And we will do that. We will, we will go live for you and see we can have live interaction, you know, during the morning as we record all the shows and people have asked about our times that the shows drop. Now I'm just going to tell you, we're again, we're evolving and we're developing and things are, are progressing nicely for us on, on the non content side of what we're doing. DBU drops around 11:00am and forward progress. We shoot for 12 to 12:30 so that, that's where we're at. Okay. And eventually we, we will be at 11 and noon for the, for those two podcasts. That's how it's, that's how it's trending and we're heading towards and working towards this. There's a lot of moving parts that we're all getting in alignment right now. We're actually getting on the same page.
- [15:19]
B
Oh, we have to.
- [15:20]
A
And before we turn the page to move to the next step, we have to make sure that we're all on the same page.
- [15:26]
B
The page that I was on today in my morning Bears research was that of Kevin Fishbane's article in the Athletic.
- [15:33]
A
Okay.
- [15:34]
B
And we know that Fish does great work.
- [15:36]
A
Great work.
- [15:37]
B
And he pointed out the work of his buddy, Mark Potash. Check this stat out from our guy Pottsy. We gotta have him on, by the way.
- [15:46]
A
Yes, sir.
- [15:47]
B
Pottsi noted that the Bears since the end of 2021. What do you think their record is? So since the end of 2021. So 22, 23, 24. And this year. Wait, wait. Okay, okay. What is their record in games in which they allow 23 points or more?
- [16:10]
A
Oh, I'm going to say they have. I won't give you the record. Loss count, Win loss count. I'll tell you the number of wins they have. I will say the Bears in those seasons have won where they've given up more than 23 points.
- [16:26]
B
23 or more.
- [16:27]
A
23 or more. They've given up 23 or more. They are. They have three total wins since the.
- [16:35]
B
End of the 2021 season. In games in which the Bears have allowed 23 points or more.
- [16:42]
A
You're not going to tell me zero wins.
- [16:44]
B
They're.
- [16:44]
A
Oh my God.
- [16:46]
B
And 25. The Bears are O and 25 in those games.
- [16:57]
A
Okay. I'm not, I've never played in the NFL. I've never been a coach, a player, so I probably shouldn't comment on the actual games themselves, but is that a bad stat?
- [17:06]
B
OK. Dak Prescott on the Cowboys offense that scored 40 last week.
- [17:11]
A
Yeah.
- [17:11]
B
So let me ask you that coming in to face a defense that just gave up 52, do you think they're.
- [17:16]
A
Going to score more than 23 of the Dallas Cowboys? Yes, I do, in a heartbeat.
- [17:19]
B
Y.
- [17:20]
A
Like I said earlier this week that the Bears win this game on Sunday.
- [17:23]
B
Okay.
- [17:23]
A
Zero chance.
- [17:24]
B
Okay. What do you think the numbers say about games in which both teams score at least 30? The Bears at least in recent days.500 record. The Bears have lost six in a row and are 2 and 8 over their last 10. The last time, listen to this. The last time they won a game in which both teams got to 30 was what year?
- [17:55]
A
2018.
- [17:57]
B
2013. 2013 is the last time the Bears won. If we say shootout is both teams getting to 30, it was a 38, 31 win in Cleveland.
- [18:12]
A
Zero chance they win on Sunday. I'm just, I'm going to tell you right now, just be prepared, Lower the expectations, throw on your beer, your favorite Bears hoodie, T shirt, get your snacks ready for the game snacks and sit down and just enjoy football and you know, Enjoy Football until 3:30. Check out the, check out our post.
- [18:31]
B
Game show as usual. Enjoy football until the Bears get the Bears start and then you join us on YouTube live for both.
- [18:39]
A
They have zero chance of winning on Sunday. I'm going to call it right now. CD Lamb goes for 200 yards.
- [18:45]
B
Wait, wait for DBU picks. That would have been a perfect one to save for DBU picks.
- [18:49]
A
Well, I have, I have my parlay, my last parlay hit by the way, when I had my Monday Night Football combo of the Bucks and the, the Chargers. Okay, I have another parlay for you today. So. But I'm telling you, CD Lamb is going over 200 this, this weekend.
- [19:03]
B
If you need windows, call Chicago Window guys. It's Russ Armstrong. And you know what I did? I realized upstairs that we needed windows. You know what I did? I called Russ Armstrong.
- [19:13]
A
It's probably a good thing to do because he's your window guy.
- [19:15]
B
I called him yesterday and he's coming over Monday because I was talking to Beth. Our bedroom gets ridiculously cold in the winter. You know why is it the murder room? No, the only the area back. We're replacing those windows too. Okay. Because those are still original like 20 year old crappy baseline builder windows. And I was like it's cold in here. It's cold in here. But it's like, yeah, our windows up here are terrible.
- [19:42]
A
Does the murder room have windows that can only see out? So people can't see in, like what's happening.
- [19:46]
B
Right. Because they can't see all the murder.
- [19:48]
A
Right. Okay.
- [19:48]
B
In the murder cave, but murder cave.
- [19:51]
A
Sorry. I keep saying murder room. Sorry.
- [19:53]
B
Murder cave.
- [19:53]
A
Yeah.
- [19:54]
B
So think about this now because it's going to get cold when football is here. Think about that. The baseball playoffs are here. We got basketball, hockey starting. That means it's going to get cold. So if you're like I have been when you realize, oh, it's cold in the bedroom and I wake up, but I feel like I'm on a camping trip, you don't have to do that. Call Russ. Call Chicago window guys. They don't have to replace every window in your house. If you want to just do the bedroom and see what that's going to cost, he can do that too. And you know Russ's windows have a lifetime guarantee with parts and labor. And I didn't know that included this. That, for example, if you're out throwing a ball with your kid in the back and it gets broken.
- [20:34]
A
The ball?
- [20:35]
B
No, the window.
- [20:35]
A
Okay.
- [20:36]
B
He'll replace it for free.
- [20:37]
A
Nice.
- [20:37]
B
You don't have to wait for weeks to get a replacement from across the country. Russ. The factory is right here in Chicago. And when you have Russ at the house, he's not gonna do any of these cheesy, high pressure sales tactic. He's not gonna bug you and stay in your house and try to pull a sale out of you. He's just gonna give you the real data on what things cost and what his deal is and how he's gonna match any price and how he's gonna custom make the best windows. So for you, no matter what it's old windows, windows falling apart or just broken. Russicagowindow guys has you covered. New windows matter. Here's the number. 847302, 9171. Like I say, Russ gonna be at my house Monday and then his people are gonna install these windows. His people will install your windows as well. Check out his five star reviews. ChicagoNowNowGuys.com 847-302-9171 now you said when you.
- [21:28]
A
Wake up and it's cold, like you've gone camping. What if you camp in the summer.
- [21:31]
B
It'S still always cold.
- [21:33]
A
Okay, where are we at as far as, like, food that we can make now? Like, are we, Are we, Can we. Can I make fall food for on Sunday? Can I, Can I Do chili. Is that okay or no? Or is it too soon?
- [21:45]
B
I think always make whatever the hell you want.
- [21:47]
A
Well, I know. I mean, I do that, but I'm just.
- [21:50]
B
Wait, hold on.
- [21:50]
A
Like you.
- [21:52]
B
If I remember the Matt about a cola.
- [21:54]
A
Oh, shit.
- [21:55]
B
Fashion rule.
- [21:56]
A
Okay? Fashion.
- [21:57]
B
The fashion food is dress for the weather, not the season.
- [22:01]
A
Correct.
- [22:02]
B
Like it always bugged you 100% September 1st would. And people would have their LL Bean down vests on even though it was 87.
- [22:08]
A
For the weather, not the season. Correct. And yeah, dress for that day.
- [22:12]
B
So why shouldn't you also make whatever food you want to eat? Why are you asking my permission?
- [22:17]
A
I'm not asking your permission. I was asking your opinion of it. Dan, I. I don't give a rat's ass, okay. What you think. And not never would I ask for your permission.
- [22:26]
B
Fair enough.
- [22:27]
A
So what, though, is your opinion on it? Is it. Is it because we had this. We had this conversation, and I want to make chili Sunday, and I. Can. I make chili Sunday for the first.
- [22:38]
B
You can. Of course you can. Because there's so many variations to chili that you could make a green chili with white beans.
- [22:47]
A
You doing a white chicken chili? I think that's where. That's where I've landed.
- [22:51]
B
Okay.
- [22:52]
A
Yeah.
- [22:52]
B
Yes, absolutely.
- [22:54]
A
Okay. All right, then that's what I'm doing for. For bears.
- [22:56]
B
How spicy we.
- [22:58]
A
Yeah, I'll do spicy. Like, spicy. I don't want to sweat or cry or, like, snot all over the couch or scream. Right. I don't want to hurt.
- [23:07]
B
Constantly be yelling the entire time you're eating.
- [23:10]
A
And it's not even while eating. It's the next day.
- [23:13]
B
Yeah, I know. Well, I've been told, get the hot flushes. I've been told one of these general, like, generic probiotics.
- [23:21]
A
General generic.
- [23:22]
B
One of these, like CVS brand or Walgreens brand probiotic.
- [23:27]
A
It helps your tummy.
- [23:28]
B
Makes a big difference with spice. Several people have told me that I may try it.
- [23:32]
A
So what does that do? Oh, as far as the impact.
- [23:34]
B
Yeah.
- [23:35]
A
Not okay.
- [23:35]
B
Right. And it doesn't mitigate anything in the moment, but apparently just, you know, the next day is better.
- [23:40]
A
Yeah. So I'll go spicy, but not. Not too bad, because the kids will. At least. At least Hank will eat the chili.
- [23:46]
B
So it makes. And when you hear about the probiotic thing, it makes sense to me because what literally saved my ass in London from that madras curry were the lassi drinks, the yogurt drinks.
- [23:56]
A
Yes.
- [23:57]
B
And so that's probiotic. Right?
- [23:58]
A
Right. Isn't that but shouldn't you drink that? And you were like putting it up your rectum.
- [24:03]
B
I was pouring it over my head.
- [24:04]
A
And this doesn't work in Beth.
- [24:06]
B
One in each end.
- [24:07]
A
I need another.
- [24:08]
B
No, but I guess there is some science, there's some ancient science to the probiotic nature of the yogurt. Helping with the spice, I guess.
- [24:15]
A
Yeah. No, that makes sense from a scientific standpoint.
- [24:18]
B
Dan, The Cubs had their hangover game.
- [24:21]
A
They sure did, didn't they? Good grief.
- [24:23]
B
If you're gonna have a post D day drinking game and get there early.
- [24:29]
A
Yeah, that was the whole thing. It's like you want to get a hit. I don't know. I don't think so. Not today.
- [24:34]
B
Yeah, well, fine. I guess we have to. That was his like. And I was. I was out fishing and I was kind of watching along on the MLB app and I was laughing every time.
- [24:44]
A
I looked at like the.
- [24:45]
B
The Cubs were never batting. They were never up, so.
- [24:50]
A
Well, that's what happens when you, when you pitch that kind of game, right. It goes quick.
- [24:53]
B
Right.
- [24:54]
A
You can't turn around and like, oh shit, I missed it.
- [24:56]
B
It was over.
- [24:57]
A
Yeah.
- [24:57]
B
Oh, did they get a hit?
- [24:58]
A
Okay, yeah, they're all right. But that's.
- [25:00]
B
Go ahead. Have you have yourself a hangover game and enjoy it and rest up whatever arms you need.
- [25:06]
A
Yeah. So if you take a look at the. The playoff picture where we're at right now, still Phillies, Brewers, Cubs, only teams in the NL that have clinched in the American League. We have all. The race is still open now the American League East. The Blue Jays have a three game lead on the Yankees. We're getting down here with nine games to go in the season. So the American League is still. Is still wide open. The Mariners and the Astros are tied right now on top of the al. AL west wild card race. The Yankees and Astros and the Red Sox. Red Sox are game and a half now ahead of the the guardians. The Astros have jumped into the fifth. Fifth spot. So still hoping the Red Sox can overtake the Astros and make that first round, that divisional matchup against Yankees and. And Red Sox. That game yesterday though, Dan Hunter Green 93. He nine. Nine innings pitch, one hit, nine strikeouts, one walk. His game score was a 93 and that. That's tied for second highest game score of this season. There was two other pitchers that had game scores of 96.
- [26:16]
B
Okay.
- [26:17]
A
His was 93. Also tied with another pitcher through a game score of 93. If you're not familiar with games game score, it's a statistical number Developed by Bill James. 50 is what's considered average. And it takes the pitchers just like the sole pitchers effort and ability and impact on that game into account. So 50s average, 90s is, is unbelievable. So if you're in the 90s, you've, you've had quite the game. And at nine innings, pitch one hit, nine K's, one walk complete game four Hunter Green 93. So Colin Ray just give you an idea. Colin Ray went seven. He gave up four hits, one earned run, 11 case career high for him. His game score was a 76. So that's an outstanding outing. I mean anybody would, would take that outing 76. So just to give you that idea. But here's the question for you. Can you tell me Dan, some of the highest game scores ever in Major League Baseball?
- [27:12]
B
I'm looking at one right now.
- [27:13]
A
Okay.
- [27:14]
B
Because while you were talking I called this up just to make sure I had this. If I remember correctly, are you looking.
- [27:22]
A
At the number one game score ever of all time?
- [27:24]
B
I don't know if it's number one. It was the first one I went to.
- [27:27]
A
Okay.
- [27:28]
B
Because I don't know. We can do game scores retroactively, right?
- [27:31]
A
Yeah, absolutely.
- [27:32]
B
We can go back to perfect games and, and all of those. The one I'm looking at was the Kerry Wood game.
- [27:39]
A
Correct.
- [27:39]
B
The Kerry Wood 20 strikeout game. A game score of 105.
- [27:42]
A
Sir, you have just named the number one highest game score of all time. Kerry Wood. Nine innings, one hit, 20 strikeouts. He had a game score of 105. Can you name. I'm not going to ask you name the scores. That would be impossible. But can you name some pitchers? Other pitchers?
- [28:01]
B
Maddox.
- [28:02]
A
Greg Maddox is not in the top 10.
- [28:05]
B
Not the top 10?
- [28:06]
A
Nope.
- [28:07]
B
Pedro?
- [28:09]
A
Not in the top 10.
- [28:10]
B
Clemens?
- [28:11]
A
Not in the top 10.
- [28:12]
B
Seaver?
- [28:13]
A
Nope.
- [28:15]
B
Carlton?
- [28:16]
A
Nope.
- [28:18]
B
What?
- [28:19]
A
There is a guy, number two. Number two. A guy that is finally calling it quits. He said it's time. Time to retire. I'm done after this year.
- [28:26]
B
Kershaw.
- [28:27]
A
Kershaw's number two with a game score of 102. It was back in 2014, eight nothing win over the Colorado Rockies.
- [28:35]
B
Even though he's a homophobic piece of crap.
- [28:37]
A
Correct. There is one guy that is on the top 10 three times.
- [28:44]
B
Three times in the top 10. Koufax?
- [28:47]
A
Nope. Think about. So think about the Kerry Wood game. 20 strikeouts and the significant impact strikeouts have on game scores.
- [28:55]
B
Randy Johnson.
- [28:56]
A
Nope. Good guess though. He's on there one time.
- [28:59]
B
Nolan Ryan.
- [28:59]
A
Nolan Ryan is on the top 10 three times.
- [29:02]
B
Wow. I think all his no hitters. Right. Because he had. He had like 21 hitters, right?
- [29:06]
A
Correct. Two of them are no hitters, one is a one hitter. So he has scores of 100. One, 100 and 100.
- [29:14]
B
Wow.
- [29:15]
A
Yeah. So you have Kerry Wood, Clayton Kershaw, Matt Kane of the Giants, Nolan Ryan, Sandy Koufax against the Cubs, his no hitter.
- [29:25]
B
We didn't I say.
- [29:26]
A
Did you say Kofax? You probably did. I just want to tell you. No. So sorry. Brandon Morrow, Randy Johnson, Kurt Schilling.
- [29:35]
B
Brandon Morrow.
- [29:36]
A
Yep. Former cub, August of 2010, a one nothing complete game, one hitter.
- [29:42]
B
Wow.
- [29:43]
A
Against the Toronto Blue Jays, had a score of 100, Randy Johnson, 7, Kurt Schilling, 8, Nolan Ryan, 9 and 10. Warren Spine checks in at number 11 with a score of 100. So good. Good for you. Getting right to Kerry Wood. I mean, it's obvious here in town to think of that one.
- [30:01]
B
That's the only one I remember associating with a game score.
- [30:04]
A
Yeah.
- [30:04]
B
So that's why.
- [30:06]
A
So congrats last night, Hunter Green, a 93. So tied for the second highest game score of this baseball season.
- [30:11]
B
Outstanding. Yeah. Let's get to feedback Friday, because things move fast here in our little podcast space. And it is Friday. We like to bring your feedback. And there it is. There is our click. What flavor we got with some black cherry.
- [30:26]
A
No, I brought one from home. Raspberry nectarine. Okay, well, don't make that face. It's very good. Why would you make that face?
- [30:35]
B
I just wasn't sure.
- [30:36]
A
I'm sorry it's not roadkill Murder cake.
- [30:38]
B
Let me try it. Fight. Oh, no, but I still. I had the goop.
- [30:42]
A
Oh, you're drinking of the cup. Okay, you can. I'll just. You can keep the cup then.
- [30:45]
B
Raspberry nectarine.
- [30:46]
A
Yeah, it tastes fruity.
- [30:50]
B
It's good.
- [30:52]
A
They're all good. They're really. They're really good. I probably go through, I don't know, maybe 10 cans of Waterloo a day.
- [30:59]
B
See, I'm a spin drift guy.
- [31:00]
A
Yeah. I. I started. I started drinking that because of you.
- [31:04]
B
Yep.
- [31:04]
A
I mean, years ago you got. You got me on spin Drift, and then now I'm just. I'm all Waterloo all day. I mean, I'm always minimum 10 cans a day.
- [31:13]
B
Really?
- [31:14]
A
Yeah.
- [31:15]
B
That's. That's expensive.
- [31:17]
A
Well, it's actually, it's priced pretty reasonably.
- [31:19]
B
Too, because spin drift is expensive.
- [31:21]
A
Spin drift is very expensive with all.
- [31:24]
B
The real fruit and everything. And it's. But it's.
- [31:26]
A
Yeah, no, you can get it on Sale generally for like 450.
- [31:29]
B
I've been drinking a lot more coffee lately.
- [31:31]
A
You've always consumed a lot of coffee, though, haven't you?
- [31:34]
B
I'm drinking.
- [31:35]
A
Wait, are you doing the mushroom coffee, the dirt coffee, or regular, like, coffee bean coffee?
- [31:39]
B
I'm drinking. Here's. Here's why at the score we did. They didn't make coffee. They said that they had coffee. They didn't have coffee.
- [31:46]
A
It was never coffee.
- [31:47]
B
It was never coffee.
- [31:48]
A
No. Unless it wasn't on our floor.
- [31:50]
B
No, it was. It was over by BBC.
- [31:52]
A
Yeah, it's like, we have coffee. It's downstairs at the coffee shop.
- [31:56]
B
But then it was like, you got to bring your own or you got to go upstairs and buy it. Here at Hubbard. It's Starbucks coffee.
- [32:03]
A
Yeah. I mean, there's like a full barista with a cafe. I mean, you know, it's like.
- [32:07]
B
How hard is that? There's like the smallest things to make your life better, and I just. I've been taking advantage of it and drinking it.
- [32:13]
A
Yeah. You drink a lot of coffee while we're here.
- [32:14]
B
I know. And I'm peeing a lot. It's weird how that happens.
- [32:17]
A
Make a lot of poo poo, too.
- [32:18]
B
You know, you drink a lot of. No, you drink a lot of coffee. I happen to be on a diuretic, and people. You wonder why I'm constantly walking down the hall here.
- [32:25]
A
Yeah. And it's a good thing you were in diapers.
- [32:27]
B
I love that, by the way, because I was a sucker before that.
- [32:30]
A
Yeah.
- [32:30]
B
You know, walking around here, not having my giant diapers to fill in anger.
- [32:36]
A
Well, there is the Keurig machine here where you have to. You have to bring your own pods. Not Scotty pods, but your coffee pods. I keep forgetting to bring my pods.
- [32:52]
B
You don't have to. There's Starbucks coffee in the thing.
- [32:54]
A
I drink decaf.
- [32:55]
B
Oh. Why?
- [32:57]
A
I just. I try to avoid caffeine as much as I can. Although I'm not. Not great at it. I just try to.
- [33:04]
B
All right. Feedback Friday. First of all, if you missed it yesterday. Well, let me. Let me save that for a sec. There's a couple bits of sound we want to play. I'm sorry for hitting the camera. I want to say, first of all, in general, two more people came up to me while I was fishing yesterday walking around and just said, one guy said, hey, love the new pods. Listen to both every day. And his name was Jeff. A good guy just said he's really enjoying this. And thank you, Jeff. And another guy who Was out running. He didn't see, just waved and he said, I'm listening to you right now. And he ran by me. So that was cool. Thank you for that feedback. I want to say too, that I'm trying everybody's. A lot of emails coming in, a lot of emails flying in, a lot of emails. I cannot respond personally to every single email that comes in to dan@312sports.com, by the way. He's matt@312sports.com. I think there's also a feedback @312sports.com.
- [34:03]
A
Sure.
- [34:04]
B
And that I think we both get. But so I've been here and there trying to please, please, please don't feel bad if I can't reply to every single message. And to the commenters on YouTube, there's at least one that usually makes me laugh out loud. At least one.
- [34:21]
A
Yeah.
- [34:21]
B
And I know people are trying hard. There's a lot of big swings in there. And careful of going to comedy Prison because they can get you too. The US Federal Comedy Marshals. They're gonna be around. They're gonna round you up. We're all gonna be on the same bus like Dr. Richard Kimball, you know, hoping that an embattled looking for a one armed man looking at embattled guard played by character actor Richard Real. That's his name. The guy who gives him the key. Remember the guy with the white mustache? He's the Richard Real. Also the air marshal in the executive decision. And he's the jump to conclusions guy in Office Space. He's the guy that's like, I take the thing to the thing.
- [35:05]
A
It is.
- [35:05]
B
Yes.
- [35:06]
A
Yeah.
- [35:07]
B
He's one of those guys. R I E H L E. Richard Real, I believe is his name. He's a real good guy.
- [35:15]
A
He's keeping it, too.
- [35:17]
B
I see. That was a better joke. That was. That was. That was. That was the joke. That was the definitive joke that you made it. I didn't. And now I'm mad at myself.
- [35:25]
A
Well, it's generally how it goes on this.
- [35:27]
B
Yeah. Yeah. Well, where was I going with that?
- [35:31]
A
I have no fucking clue.
- [35:32]
B
No, I don't. I mean, comedy.
- [35:34]
A
It was coffee. Oh, Comedy police. Yes.
- [35:37]
B
And the commenters on YouTube.
- [35:39]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [35:40]
B
The YouTube is always at least. It's always at least one that really makes me laugh out loud. And thank you for that amid the various other base level replacement level right wing trolls.
- [35:50]
A
Yeah.
- [35:51]
B
So go ahead, knock yourself out. So thank you. Now, the response to Iraq poing.
- [35:59]
A
Yes.
- [35:59]
B
Has been remarkable.
- [36:00]
A
Yes, it has.
- [36:01]
B
And we asked, we said, how many Other instances, can you name of a celebrity having to be identified or the idea of a celebrity being identified in a commercial? And the number of the amount of thinking that's gone on in this has just been fantastic. And I had no idea that. Thanks to everybody who pointed out that there is a commercial in which somebody says, hey, Jon Hamm. Because their neighbor is Jon Hamm. Just so happens their neighbor. Like, that's another. You don't have to say it. You don't have to say it.
- [36:40]
A
It's Jon Hamm.
- [36:41]
B
It's Jon Hamm. Right. He's famous enough. So this was sent in by Sean, and Sean said, this discussion has set my mind ablaze. My mind is ablaze, he said. I have a lot of thoughts about this phenomenon. Phenomenon, he said, connected to the postmodern condition. The need to say the celeb's name occasionally has to do with the absurd disconnect that a celebrity has with the product they're endorsing. This disconnect causes some level of comedic response. The viewer whose brain is turned on to say, what the hell does Shaq have to do with car insurance? Is he friends with the animated general? Does he actually see the General, etc. And several people. That Sean isn't the only one who brought up a Minute Maid orange juice commercial involving Robert Loggia.
- [37:41]
A
Try some new Minute Maid orange tangerine.
- [37:44]
B
It's got calcium.
- [37:45]
A
Then I'm not drinking it.
- [37:47]
B
Oh, no. It's sweet. You'll like it.
- [37:48]
A
I don't believe you.
- [37:49]
B
Well, then who would you believe? I don't know. Robert Loggia. Whoa. Robert Loggia. Billy, your mother's right. Who? Admit it made orange tangerine taste great. This got as much calcium as milk. If you say so, Mr. Logia.
- [38:05]
A
Yeah, this is great.
- [38:07]
B
Enjoy your breakfast.
- [38:08]
A
New minute mate.
- [38:09]
B
Once. Tangerine with calcium.
- [38:10]
A
Yeah.
- [38:11]
B
Okay. That's brilliant. I didn't remember it. See, I think it'd be better that. It would be better if he used his line from the Sopranos.
- [38:21]
A
Yeah. Probably not in this commercial, but should I say it?
- [38:24]
B
You can, because you remember when he played Feech Lamana. Yes. In the Sopranos.
- [38:29]
A
Of course.
- [38:30]
B
And Feach was in prison forever. I forgot which season this was. But Feech Feach had been. Robert Loesch's character had been in prison forever. And he's out. He's fresh out. And he's hanging out at the Bing, and there's this non sequitur of a question. So when it's like, son, drink your orange juice only if Robert Loggia comes In. Oh, it's Robert Loggia. Hey, what's with all the shaved pussies? Now drink your orange juice.
- [39:00]
A
Orange tangerine, right?
- [39:02]
B
Orange tangerine, whatever it is. Yes, but I. And I don't know where that came from. But that's a real commercial. That is a real orange juice commercial.
- [39:09]
A
It's a great commercial, too, because, you know, the dad's like, it's got all the calcium in it. Oh, no, I don't want it. But this kid, like, actively.
- [39:16]
B
Why don't you like calcium? Idiot.
- [39:18]
A
Right?
- [39:19]
B
I don't know why the kid doesn't like.
- [39:20]
A
I'm not touching calcium.
- [39:22]
B
You know me and calcium. None of that stuff. I take calcium channel blockers to avoid calcium having any effect on me.
- [39:30]
A
Go to hell, dad. I'm not drinking calcium.
- [39:33]
B
You all right? I learned it from watching you with your calcium. I think leaning in. Leaning in to that sort of weird nature of a disconnected celebrity is great. I think it's also when people have brought up this part of Feedback Friday, people have brought up the backup quarterback bit. That's getting it. That's an example, getting it, right? That you have to say, it's Tommy DeVito. You have to say, it's Case Keenan. You have to say, it's Colt McCoy, whoever it is, because it's a backup quarterback.
- [40:04]
A
The thing with the. With Robert Loggia, the. My brain is so conditioned now for the Iraq Boeing that it irritates me, that irritated me that the kids said no, that the kid said his name like I would have preferred. He walked in and just goes right into his bit about drinking the orange juice. And if the kid would have said, all right, Mr. Loggia, then I would have been fine with that. But the fact that he called him out to start it just. It gets me. Robert Logia, like, no shit, we know who it is. And then the kid, you know, reinforces it with the. Sorry, Mr. Logia.
- [40:36]
B
I think that's an example of how it works. I like it. This email from Travis in Byron, who said, I wanted to run this by you guys. We're talking about the longstanding failures of the Bears, and when we try to figure out what it actually is. There's been consistency among GMs dating back to Jerry Angelo bad drafting my guy. One person who's maintained a presence throughout the various regimes is Bears executive scout Jeff Shiver. How much impact does this guy Jeff have in the draft? What are your thoughts on the job Jeff has done? And would replacing Jeff be a move that could lead to positive change? Honest answer, hadn't thought about it.
- [41:22]
A
Yep, good question.
- [41:23]
B
But if the White Sox are constantly firing their scouting director, maybe that was the whole idea. I always thought that the every incoming new guy could fire anybody he wanted. That's always been the rule. Right. Is this a McCaskey Protected Person?
- [41:40]
A
Well, I mean it's, it's hard to get fired in the McCaskey owned Chicago.
- [41:44]
B
Bears if you're a maid person.
- [41:46]
A
Maybe he is.
- [41:47]
B
Yeah, maybe he's a maid. Where they say no matter what, it doesn't mean he has to have his computer connected to the same local access network. You know, you can, you can say to the McCaskeys, yeah, we're going to keep him around, but we're not going to listen to anything he says. I have no idea.
- [42:01]
A
Was there, was there a team recently that just fired all their scouts or am I making that up?
- [42:06]
B
What happens in baseball a lot.
- [42:08]
A
Yeah, Tigers do it recently, within the last couple of years. Didn't. Or was it, was there something. Is there a story Twins?
- [42:15]
B
Was it Falvi? There was. Yes, there have been.
- [42:18]
A
But there wasn't anything recently that you can recall within the, like, I mean, the most immediate recent future or past?
- [42:25]
B
Yeah, there was and I can't. But I, I can't, I can't recall it. Correct.
- [42:28]
A
Okay.
- [42:28]
B
There definitely was something.
- [42:30]
A
Right.
- [42:30]
B
An example of a team cashiering all their scouts.
- [42:33]
A
Yeah.
- [42:33]
B
But I, all I can say is it's a very good.
- [42:36]
A
Jeff's been there and he's not going anywhere anytime soon. Yep.
- [42:38]
B
It's a very good. And I wish I had a better answer for you than I don't know. But the answer is I don't know. I also like it when we get feedback that is cutting against the grain of the prevailing sense when it comes to the Chicago Bears. So I'm going to bring you this thought from Tom in Edgebrook who says my feelings are counterintuitive. After the Bears got pantsed by the Lions, I feel optimistic and it's all about the quarterback. I felt depressed last Tuesday when Caleb Williams ability to connect on throws appeared broken. If that's the case and he has a system problem with accuracy, it's the ball game it's impossible to fix. Against the Lions, I saw him hit targets downfield. I saw a couple beautiful throws that weren't caught. Not reflected on the stat sheet. I saw him operate quicker. It tells me not to worry so much about the foundation of Caleb Williams as a player. Defense is horrifying. The run game's bad, but that can Be fixed with time or investment in players who aren't that hard to find. When your franchise quarterback can't hit a seven yard out, that's a panic moment. I'm not panicking. I'm not letting the scale of the loss obscure the fact that it's still one loss. Tomorrow's an opportunity for the Bears to get better, and I hope they will.
- [44:06]
A
So how many losses does it take ports appropriate to be panicked, alarm, concerned?
- [44:11]
B
Well, what he's saying, it's not necessarily the. The win or the loss. It's the play of the quarterback.
- [44:16]
A
Right. And why I was irritated going back to the Vikings game is that there were aspects of his mechanics in his game and his accuracy that I expected to be cleaned up better further along in game 18 of his career.
- [44:32]
B
I think that's fair, too.
- [44:36]
A
I just. I just. Man, I just don't see. I don't see it being. Being a good thing on Sunday. I just don't at all. I really don't. I really don't. Especially after those numbers that. That Mark Potash had in his story.
- [44:47]
B
That's pretty scary.
- [44:48]
A
And it's not scary. It's. It's absolutely fucking pathetic.
- [44:51]
B
Oh, and 25 since the end of the 2021 season in games in which the other team has scored 23 or more points.
- [44:59]
A
O. And it just, again, it goes back to this whole narrative that, oh my God, what a. What a storied franchise. What a great franchise. We're a great organization. No, you're an old organization. That's all you are. You're old. You have one super bowl win in the super bowl era. That's it. That's all that matters. And you have won. You've just existed a long time. 40 years ago. Yeah, you've been here a long time. God bless you for being around that long. Like, longevity is a great accomplishment. It really is, especially in sports. But, like, big fucking deal. Who cares how long you've been here? You don't win shit. And you're owing 25. And that stat is unbelievable. The Bears have zero chance to win on Sunday. 0. Unless Dak Prescott doesn't show and CD Lamb retires before Sunday.
- [45:48]
B
I loved this email as well. And this is the kind of email that you're only going to get on Dan Bernstein unfiltered and nowhere else. Certainly in the sports space. And it has to do with how we were eulogizing Robert Redford.
- [46:01]
A
Oh, boy.
- [46:02]
B
And again, I did. I tried to get clearance from the US Comedy Police and the US Celebrity Worship Police that were. We don't absolutely have to exalt the holy name of Robert Redford or be fined or punished or fired. Okay, okay. And we've heard of Robert Redford. So that's. That's. We had previously.
- [46:23]
A
Because I hadn't seen all his movies. Right.
- [46:24]
B
We previously actually heard him. No. A lot of people mad about sneakers. I have not seen Sneakers.
- [46:28]
A
I never saw it.
- [46:29]
B
And be very angry that we left that off the list. Haven't seen it. But take it under advisement.
- [46:34]
A
Get over it.
- [46:34]
B
This is from Brendan, who said, this perked up my ears. And it got me to thinking regarding our discussion of Robert Redford in the Great Gatsby, which I said was awful. He was awful. Movie was awful. The whole thing was awful. He said, do you think Gatsby might be unfilmable? He said, I do.
- [46:54]
A
Hmm.
- [46:55]
B
He said, I actually just reread it, he said, while putting my one and a half year old son to bed, thus ensuring he will have what undoubtedly will be a great vocabulary and deeply troubled relationships.
- [47:08]
A
That's what he reads to his kid. Okay.
- [47:10]
B
Well, it's the kid's one and a half, he said. It struck me again how gorgeous of a writer Fitzgerald was. I don't mean hyperbolic because there are things I dislike about Fitzgerald, but that dude might have just been the most talented writer of them all. Fitzgerald had a way of making prose into poetry. Kind of flowing lyrically along before you realize he just flattened you with the way he said something. He said. I'm thinking specifically of this moment when I had the thought, not for the first time, about Fitzgerald's talent. So this is just these sentences that he offers here. The sister, Catherine was a slender, worldly girl of about 30, with a solid sticky bob of red hair and a complexion powdered milky white. Her eyebrows had been plucked and then drawn on again at a more rakish angle. But the efforts of nature toward the restoration of the old alignment gave a blurred air to her face. When she moved about, there was an incessant clicking as innumerable pottery bracelets jingled up and down her arms. I mean, not only is that a hell of a piece of writing, but it's so evocative in its detail. It's precisely why this doesn't work as a movie. In a movie, very few people are going to notice the detail of a character's eyebrows. But that's what makes Gatsby fascinating. The details. Not only is the story great, but the writing is great with dialogue that only really works on the Page. He said, not one, not two, but three. Generations have tried to film Gatsby with the best looking actor of said generations being cast as Gatsby. And total duds, all three of them, and absolute suck fests. They've tried deviating from the book. They've tried being super faithful to the book. They've tried a combo all bad. I just remember the old joker. I think it was Woody Allen, he said. And then that F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda stopped by. They were just getting home from their New Year's party, and it was April. Okay, well, I want to close Feedback Friday.
- [49:25]
A
Yeah.
- [49:25]
B
Close it out with anybody who missed Courtney Cronin's appearance on Forward Progress yesterday. She was kind enough to take some time. And again, we have these moments. Like, that was just one for me of not being allergic to what might happen under the umbrella of the fcc because it's podcasting and we're unfiltered now.
- [49:47]
A
That's right.
- [49:47]
B
And we had a. This is. You talk about. About top rope, about asking, seeing you can crack the door open a little bit and then knocking the door completely off its hinges. That's what Courtney did yesterday.
- [50:02]
A
Can I swear on this podcast? Yes, of course. That would fucking hurt like a motherfucker if you got hit like that.
- [50:11]
B
There you go.
- [50:12]
A
There you go. Just lots of. Lots of reaction to that as well, too.
- [50:16]
B
But that's. That's how it's done. Yes, that is absolutely how it's done.
- [50:20]
A
Really nice description there for you as well, too. Just pop that door open a little bit and then just drive right through with a semi truck.
- [50:27]
B
It's. It's like. Chef Biody, can I come in?
- [50:29]
A
No, no, you can't.
- [50:30]
B
No, no.
- [50:31]
A
Get the hell out. Stay out. Yeah, stay out. You and Tom Brady.
- [50:34]
B
May I come in town?
- [50:35]
A
Pavement Chef. Take him out, cats. We're on this podcast.
- [50:39]
B
Yes, of course.
- [50:41]
A
Please do. That would fucking hurt like a. If you got hit like that.
- [50:46]
B
Oh, it's the enunciation, too. Everything is just right and just so clean. Awesome. You know what it's time for?
- [50:54]
A
Oh, yeah, I know what it is.
- [50:55]
B
Yes. For what it is time.
- [50:57]
A
The time we help the listeners.
- [50:59]
B
Yeah, we've been good this year. My bookie presents DBU picks Matt about a cola. The floor is yours.
- [51:10]
A
Yep. All right, I got a parlay for you this weekend in the NFL. That's the National Football League. We're looking at the Eagles, Rams and the Commanders. Raiders. Okay. The Raiders are traveling to Washington to take on the Commanders. The Commanders are laying three and A half. So we're taking the three and a half.
- [51:31]
B
Okay.
- [51:32]
A
We're giving the three and a half, I should say, and taking the Commanders and the other game, Eagles, super bowl champs are hosting the Rams and giving three. So we are laying the points there as well. Two teams traveling across the country always playing poorly, never showing up. Well, I think both teams, the Eagles and the Commanders, would win those games regardless of the location. But we're going to give the points. Eagles minus three over the Rams. Commanders minus three and a half over the Raiders. That's your parlay to play and win.
- [52:03]
B
All right. The DBU picks you get from me is a Bears game parlay to give you a little bit more skin in the game, if you like, if this kind of thing excites you. Because when I put myself out there and sort of, believe me, I was watching Bucky Irving for no reason on Monday night because that was my pick. So I'm doing this here. As I look at the matchup against a Matt Eber flu defense and understanding that there aren't any real surprises usually coming from a Tampa too. It's all about patience. It's all about exploiting the exploitables. Where are the exploitables? The middle of the field. Who can take advantage of the middle of the field? Previously underused pass receiving tight ends. Yeah. I also think that maybe that they're starting to feel a little bit of the pressure on not being able to find these guys. And you've got to make sure everybody gets fed, particularly one of your captains. Is Cole Comet. A captain?
- [53:07]
A
Kyra Santos, isn't he? Yeah.
- [53:09]
B
Well, they already brought in a guy to threaten him there. Jake Moody actually has to walk behind him holding a scythe. Actually, I'm coming for you. I'm going to give you this. Cole commit over 21.5 receiving yards. That's the over under for Cole Comet receiving yards is just 21 and a half. The over under for Colston Loveland's receiving yards. 13 and a half.
- [53:39]
A
Oh, wow.
- [53:41]
B
So I'm going to do Cole commit over 21.5 parlayed with Colston Loveland over 13 and a half.
- [53:54]
A
Yeah, no, those are looking askance. No, it just. It just makes me.
- [53:58]
B
I.
- [53:59]
A
It's. It's just disappointing that those are the numbers, though.
- [54:03]
B
Well, that wasn't the conclusion.
- [54:05]
A
I know, but it's. But as a Bears fan, I'm just like, ugh. Really?
- [54:08]
B
Yeah, that. That's the.
- [54:09]
A
Like you're. I mean, the draft pick of. Of Loveland.
- [54:14]
B
Yeah, it's One way to look at it is to be scared by what the estimate is. But there again, that is it is commit over 21 and a half and Loveland over 13 and a half receiving yards total. So those are the DBU picks presented by my bookie. Lock in your picks now with my bookie. Bet on anything, anywhere, anytime.
- [54:38]
A
All right, the five season long captains, Caleb Williams, Joe Tuney, Grady Jarrett, Kevin Byard III and Kairos Santos.
- [54:49]
B
Okay, so it's not good.
- [54:50]
A
Okay. And then of course, a sixth captain is chosen for every game. Yeah. And I think this weekend it's George McCaskey.
- [55:00]
B
I'm the captain now. Walking through the south lot dressed like a pirate, singing. Well, that's the Aiden Hutchinson commercial with the captain. Right. And the State Farm thing, because they got the pirate guy.
- [55:14]
A
Oh, yeah. You're Aiden Hutchinson.
- [55:18]
B
You're John Hamm. No, I'm not. I'm Aiden Hutchinson.
- [55:22]
A
That'd be a big stretch. Try some New Minute made orange tangerine.
- [55:26]
B
It's got calcium.
- [55:27]
A
Then I'm not drinking it.
- [55:29]
B
Oh, no, it's sweet. You like it?
- [55:30]
A
I don't believe you.
- [55:31]
B
Well, then who would you believe? I don't know.
- [55:33]
A
Robert Loggia.
- [55:38]
B
Whoa. Robert Loggia.
- [55:39]
A
Really?
- [55:40]
B
Your mother's right. New Minute Maid Orange tangerine tastes great. It's got as much calcium as milk. If you say so, Mr. Loggia.
- [55:47]
A
Yeah, this is great.
- [55:49]
B
Enjoy your breakfast. New Minute made orange tangerine with calcium.
- [55:52]
A
Yeah, I just love the kid, though. Like it's got calcium in it. I'm not drinking.
- [55:56]
B
I'll smash that shit away from me, woman. Especially now. I want my bones brittle. God damn it.
- [56:02]
A
How many times have I told you no calcium in this house.
- [56:06]
B
If you're waiting for Sunday to start betting, you're missing half the fun and half the money. College football's already cooking upsets, blowouts, wild covers. And my bookie lets you hit it all. Game lines, player, props, more everything you need before the pros even kick off. When Sunday rolls around, you're already up. Maddie's Vanderbilt Commodores are going to be out there.
- [56:24]
A
Oh, buddy. It's big game.
- [56:25]
B
The Green Wave, I think are getting 12 and a half at old Miss. But we just found out Ole Mrs. Starting quarterback is. Ole Mrs. Likely to be unavailable Mrs. Is playing. The starting quarterback of Ole Miss is probably not going to play. So that might change things. If you like Tulane with the nearly a couple of touchdowns there. My bookie has everything you need under one roof. You can bet on the NFL super contest survivor pools if you are new. Don't Forget the code DBU. And any bet you choose up to $500 is fully covered. Make your play. If it doesn't hit you, get it right back when you opt in using the bet back bonus token. My bookie is where betters win together. Because bragging is good, but cashing in is better.
- [57:08]
A
Yeah. So if you're new, use that code DBU. Go make your account at MyBookie. And if you're nude, you can also use DBU. Vanderbilt plays tomorrow. 6:30. They hosted Georgia State. The Georgia State Panthers laying 28 and a half over. Under is 53 and a half. They're. They're. Yeah, give those points.
- [57:26]
B
Go the over.
- [57:27]
A
Diego Pavia is having a game tomorrow, my guy. We are the official show of the Vanderbilt Commodores. Keep that in mind. And the green wave of Tulane, it's coming to get you. It's going to wash right over you. Yeah.
- [57:41]
B
It turns you green, makes you angry. No. If it's anything like Tulane, it makes you Jewish and drunk.
- [57:49]
A
Oh, it's the worst things you could be, right?
- [57:53]
B
Watch us over. You want to go get a drink? All right, let's go to Popeyes after. As far as my experience and my understanding of Tulane University, that's what happens.
- [58:04]
A
Oh, is Popeyes a regular destination after some beers?
- [58:08]
B
Well, he insists the Popeyes down there is better.
- [58:11]
A
Oh, but it isn't just that.
- [58:13]
B
The fried chicken is. Oh, I forgot to tell you. When Beth and I go in early October, it's the fried chicken festival weekend in New Orleans.
- [58:23]
A
Seriously?
- [58:24]
B
Yes.
- [58:25]
A
All right. Over.
- [58:26]
B
Under.
- [58:26]
A
Are you coming back?
- [58:28]
B
Well, the festival has to end sometime.
- [58:30]
A
But it doesn't mean you have to leave.
- [58:31]
B
I don't. Yeah, but, like, I mean, what are we gonna do?
- [58:34]
A
It's almost scary how much fried chicken you think you'll eat.
- [58:38]
B
I can eat a whole chicken in a sitting.
- [58:41]
A
So how many. How many whole chickens do you think you'll consume while you're down there? You're there for three nights.
- [58:45]
B
I don't know, but I already know where to go. Like the brothers.
- [58:47]
A
Two nights, three nights.
- [58:48]
B
Two nights, two nights.
- [58:50]
A
Over, under. We'll put it at four and a half.
- [58:52]
B
But we have also a couple of free meals that we're. That is like the Brennan restaurants. We got a thing for, like, a free meal at one of the Brennan restaurants.
- [59:00]
A
Okay. That's not gonna prevent you from eating more.
- [59:02]
B
They might still have fried chicken there. Right.
- [59:04]
A
So a four and a half is the over, under.
- [59:05]
B
I'll take the under. That's A lot of food, plus the breakfast. I'm not gonna have it. Why not? Why?
- [59:10]
A
You could have. You get a fried chicken for breakfast. You used to have it for every meal. It's the fried chicken. Why would you eat anything else?
- [59:17]
B
What do I do with turtle soup? Because I have to have turtle soup.
- [59:19]
A
You have it before fried chicken.
- [59:21]
B
Okay.
- [59:22]
A
Yeah. That's an appetizer.
- [59:24]
B
All right, that's a deal.
- [59:24]
A
You wet your palate.
- [59:26]
B
So wet the palate with the turtle soup.
- [59:28]
A
Yeah. And then you eat fried chicken for every meal.
- [59:32]
B
Sounds good.
- [59:33]
A
I want one fried meal. One fried chicken meal consumed in the bathtub of the hotel room.
- [59:41]
B
Pictures to prove it.
- [59:42]
A
I want pictures to prove it. Clothes on. We don't need you nude.
- [59:45]
B
Well, forget that.
- [59:47]
A
We don't need that again to happen. That almost got out last time.
- [59:50]
B
Yeah, I know.
- [59:50]
A
So, yeah, I need. I need. I need one fried chicken meal consumed in the bathtub of the hotel room and Beth to take a picture of it.
- [59:59]
B
