Eddie (3:55)

This is a podcast called 25 whistles.

Bobby Bones (3:58)

Talking football. And they all wear a whistle yet. Stupid. But why did you expect. It's a podcast called 25 Whistles. 25 Whistles. I buy a bunch of stuff off TikTok shop. Hey, hit that whistle. Thanks. I had a TikTok shop phase. Then I phased out of buying stuff on TikTok shop. It's very easy to buy stuff and they have all kinds of stuff on TikTok shop. But I did get both Eddie and Mike a Christmas present off TikTok Shop this year. It's not in yet. But that's the other thing about TikTok shop. You never know when it's coming. Yeah. Yeah. Or what country it's coming from, or if it's quality. So they have some stupid stuff on there, but they have a lot. So I don't wanna tell you guys what I got you, but I did get you guys something off TikTok shop, and now my algorithm's all screwed up.

Eddie (4:45)

Is it that hat organizer? Cause I saw a cool hat organizer on TikTok shop. Okay.

Bobby Bones (4:50)

It's nothing you would ever think of. I just saw it and thought, oh, I think that this would be good for Mike. I saw Mike's first. Never in a million years would you guess it. Same with you, Eddie.

Eddie (5:01)

And then you were like, I should probably get Eddie something too.

Bobby Bones (5:03)

No, because I never feel an obligation to get anybody a Christmas gift.

Responsible Gambling Announcer (5:07)

Same.

Bobby Bones (5:08)

So I. Except for my wife.

Eddie (5:10)

Oh, that's different. And my kids.

Bobby Bones (5:11)

Yeah, we do a family thing with her family. Where instead of everybody getting everybody or the white elephant, which is stupid because nobody gets anything they really want in a white elephant. We do draw a person's name. My wife put them all in. AI said draw for us. And I got my sister in law, Blythe.

Eddie (5:27)

Oh.

Bobby Bones (5:28)

Which she's easy.

Eddie (5:29)

Oh, she is. You know what she'd like?

Bobby Bones (5:31)

Yeah.

Eddie (5:31)

Okay. Yeah.

Bobby Bones (5:32)

So those are the only two obligation gifts that I got. But then if I see something that I think you guys will like or one of you like, I just grab the gift. So TikTok shop. The whole story came out of the New York Post about how it's making a ton of money and it's very much impulse buying. It's very much at the register type buying.

Eddie (5:52)

It's so easy, man. And then the people demoing are just like so good at it that it's like, oh, all I have to do is click here and it's mine. It's easy.

Kevin (6:01)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (6:01)

Phones have made it very easy with the double click. If you're doing Apple Pay have made it so easy to buy stuff.

Responsible Gambling Announcer (6:06)

Dude.

Eddie (6:06)

The crazy ones is when you're watching like Amazon and during the commercials they're like, if you're interested that you can.

Bobby Bones (6:13)

Now buy it from the screen when you're watching it on television.

Kevin (6:15)

Yeah, I see that every, like the Thursday night games, maybe that's where I.

Bobby Bones (6:18)

Saw it last time too. The QR code from something as easy.

Eddie (6:21)

As like Windex too. Like I could use Windex.

Bobby Bones (6:24)

I like it. What I hope is they're building these ads specifically for me because back in the old days you had a channel and just big broad companies bought ads hoping they'd catch a bunch of the population that wanted them. Big sweeping ads, McDonald's. But then as cable channels started to happen, there were specific channels for women, channels that are about sports channels. So they would then take specific products meant for just that audience and target them. And it's becoming even more targeted, obviously through our social media because we have cookies. And I always say, yeah, take my cookies. I don't know. I don't know what that means. You can have all my cookies. Accept them all. Yeah, I do. Yeah. I've accepted every cookie for the history of time. I'm freaking Spunk Meyer over here. So, yeah, I do like targeted ads though.

Eddie (7:08)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (7:09)

Because it knows what I want. And I think they also like targeted ads, meaning the sponsors.

Eddie (7:16)

Because you're going to buy it, you have a better chance of buying it.

Bobby Bones (7:18)

Because yeah, they're able to target people that probably Want their ad like men in this demographic. Anyway, the whole story was about how the TikTok shop is now impulse buying. Which impulse buying to us is always when you're at the register, does that.

Kevin (7:31)

Come up in your feed? Like Instagram? Cause I'm not familiar with it. Or is it like a whole different little tab? You have to click the TikTok.

Bobby Bones (7:38)

Both.

Kevin (7:38)

Both.

Bobby Bones (7:39)

So you're scrolling videos, you'll see an ad like, I saw one last night. And if they're really good, they'll be so compelling in the content immediately that you don't look in the bottom corner. Because if you look in the bottom left corner, you'll see the little block that says ADD gotcha. Or you'll see this person earns commission. But I watched one where this dude, his hood was up and he. Another guy pulls up and goes, hey, do you need a jump? And he's like, no, man, my girlfriend does this and had 800,000 comments or no. 800,000. No, maybe likes. Yeah. And so I was like, that's weird. Just how he said it. He was like, I don't need your help. My girlfriend always jumps me. It turns out it was an ad for a jumper box, like a portable jumper box. And I was so compelled by what the content and the guy being angry and going like, this dude's girlfriend is the only person he takes help from, would jump in his car that I never looked down in the corner. And so I'm sure they sold a ton of jumper boxes. Yeah, but you can make ads for things you don't even own and sell them and make commission. So they don't own that jumper box.

Eddie (8:38)

To sell, but they're making a commercial for them.

Bobby Bones (8:43)

Yeah. And you get a percentage for everyone sold if they come from your link.

Kevin (8:46)

Interesting.

Bobby Bones (8:47)

Then also you can go to TikTok shop and just buy stuff too. In search. Like, I bought a bunch of dude wipes from TikTok.

Brandon (8:52)

Oh, cool.

Bobby Bones (8:53)

Because they sell them in huge boxes for cheap. So I buy a bunch of dude wipes from TikTok.

Eddie (8:57)

And that didn't come from like a video that you saw that was like, you going into the shop.

Bobby Bones (9:01)

No, it came from a video. Like people do lives and just sell them. And I never bought one during those. And I thought, oh, I should get some dude wipes sometimes, see if they're actually good. And they're. They're great.

Eddie (9:09)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (9:09)

And so then I went in a TikTok shop type dude wipes and got them.

Eddie (9:13)

Yeah, you're right. The way they start the video is usually how it gets me. Like, there was one guy, like, trying to chop an onion. He's like, oh. And I had just cut my finger chopping an onion, and I was like, oh, that'd be. Oh, I wonder why he's chopped, man. And then it's like, oh, I can click on that, and I can get that chopper. That's pretty cool.

Bobby Bones (9:27)

Yeah. But you never know if it's really gonna be quality or not.

Kevin (9:29)

Yeah. I was gonna say, can you see, like, ratings or anything?

Bobby Bones (9:31)

Reviews. Yeah. But then you never know if they're real.

Eddie (9:35)

Like, who's writing those reviews.

Bobby Bones (9:36)

Yeah. And a lot of stuff comes from China.

Kevin (9:39)

Got it.

Bobby Bones (9:40)

I mean, the app's from China.

Kevin (9:41)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (9:42)

So that hat.

Eddie (9:43)

Remember that hat I got you where you can write whatever on it?

Bobby Bones (9:45)

Yeah.

Eddie (9:46)

And used it one time.

Bobby Bones (9:47)

Well, no.

Eddie (9:49)

And I'm not. I'm not complaining. I'm just saying that was free to speak. That was a dumb TikTok.

Bobby Bones (9:52)

Speak freely. Yeah, it's garbage. But the idea was good. It's a hat that you can write something and on your phone and, like, Bluetooth it over to the hat. But you have. The hat is heavy because it's got to have some sort of lighting on it.

Eddie (10:04)

LED screen.

Bobby Bones (10:05)

And then you got to charge it all the time. And inside the hat is, like, the charger that hurts your ear. In theory, it's funny for a bit.

Eddie (10:11)

But that's my point. Like, I saw it. It looked cool, but, like, in reality, it's.

Bobby Bones (10:16)

It's not. And that might be what happens with you guys. Gifts.

Eddie (10:19)

That's okay.

Bobby Bones (10:19)

Yeah. But I did. I do have one on the way.

Eddie (10:22)

Thank you, man.

Bobby Bones (10:24)

For Mike and one on the way for Eddie. I just need inspiration. Like, I saw that Scuba Steve was waiting for Saturday because Nike's doing a huge drop for these Jordan elevens. Jordan elevens. Like, a specific type of shoe. And it's so hard to actually get the shoes because the bots do them on the drops. I have a connection. I reached out, got the shoes before Scuba even tries to get them on, but I didn't know if it was this Saturday or last Saturday. So He's a size 13, too. He's got a massive foot. So I bought him the shoes for Christmas, but I can't wait for Christmas to give them to him, because he may get the shoes on Saturday if he's there trying. So I brought him in today, and I was like, you ought to get the shoes, because, no, it's Saturday. And he was like, oh, then you.

Kevin (11:02)

Gave them to him.

Bobby Bones (11:02)

Yeah.

Kevin (11:02)

Oh, cool.

Bobby Bones (11:03)

This morning. Came to him this morning. But I was, you know, so I was motivated because I knew he was looking for those and then I knew a way to get to them. I have something I think you guys are going to like, but it might be garbage.

Eddie (11:15)

It's all good. Thank you.

Bobby Bones (11:17)

You don't have it yet? It may not be here in time.

Eddie (11:20)

So I'd get it after Christmas.

Bobby Bones (11:22)

That's how it would work. Or you can come to the house.

Eddie (11:25)

Well, my gift hasn't gotten here yet, but it says.

Bobby Bones (11:27)

Okay. Hey.

Eddie (11:28)

No, no, no, no.

Kevin (11:30)

I'm surprised it took us this long to get here.

Bobby Bones (11:31)

My girlfriend goes to another school.

Eddie (11:34)

Gonna like her.

Bobby Bones (11:35)

Yeah, yeah. She's in another school. Trust me. Okay. We did this segment on the big show about this 40 foot blowup Santa Claus. We. We showed the video and Eddie's had like a 10 or 11 foot Santa Claus.

Eddie (11:48)

12.

Bobby Bones (11:49)

Okay. I didn't. Sorry I shorten your hands. It's a 12 foot sand and it's large. But this guy was selling very similar. It wasn't a TikTok shop. His was on Twitter, but he was like, I need to sell these. I have too many of them. And it was a gimmick just to sell them. But then I watched the video. This is a 40 foot Santa. Yeah.

Eddie (12:06)

It's gigantic.

Bobby Bones (12:07)

I tried to see if I could even put it at my house, like where it would go. It would hit power lines.

Kevin (12:11)

Oh, wow.

Eddie (12:12)

Yeah. That's huge, man.

Bobby Bones (12:13)

Because we don't have an hoa. But if I were to put it somewhere, it would either have to be behind a gate and trees that you wouldn't see if I were to put it in front of the gate at our house. It's into power lines.

Eddie (12:26)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (12:27)

Because I think that would be hilarious. 40ft is as tall as the house. This is the biggest sand I've ever seen.

Brandon (12:33)

I'm looking at one.

Eddie (12:34)

It's humongous.

Brandon (12:35)

They're so big.

Eddie (12:36)

Like. Like Kevin. It goes above the house. Like it's a two story house.

Kevin (12:40)

The ones that you looked at are.

Bobby Bones (12:41)

The ones that you looked at 40 foot one. The video we saw compare.

Kevin (12:44)

Oh, my God.

Brandon (12:45)

Look how big these people are.

Bobby Bones (12:47)

And they have to use stakes and ropes. Like.

Eddie (12:49)

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like multiple.

Kevin (12:50)

Yeah.

Eddie (12:51)

Mine has four little ropes. They're not ropes. They're like little strings. Holds it down. Not this one.

Bobby Bones (12:56)

It's 40ft freaking tall.

Eddie (12:58)

Wow.

Kevin (12:59)

Like Godzilla.

Bobby Bones (13:00)

I was looking this morning to see if we could fit one. I think it be the greatest Prank on my wife. She just pulls up.

Eddie (13:04)

Oh, you were going to do it without telling her?

Bobby Bones (13:06)

That's the only way to do it.

Eddie (13:07)

That's. That's risky.

Kevin (13:09)

That would be hilarious.

Eddie (13:10)

Risky.

Bobby Bones (13:10)

It'd be hilarious.

Kevin (13:11)

Hilarious. Yeah.

Bobby Bones (13:13)

And I can't. There's. It doesn't go anywhere. It hit a power line. So there is a story, though, about where we live that homeowners can keep their holiday decor up all year.

Brandon (13:22)

Yes.

Eddie (13:23)

I mean, I used to do that with my lights. I wouldn't leave them on all year, but I would leave them up and not plug them in. And then come November 20, you know, whatever, plug them back in. But then they'd never work.

Bobby Bones (13:32)

I feel like they wouldn't work after a while.

Kevin (13:34)

Yeah. Go through the heat.

Bobby Bones (13:36)

Summer and all that.

Eddie (13:37)

That was a dumb idea.

Bobby Bones (13:39)

Homeowners can now put up holiday decorations anytime they want. Under a new ordinance. They push the change after getting complaints. He believed the complaints were rooted in bias, including one about Hanukkah inflatables. The new Community Holiday Expression Exemption and Rights act, or cheer, protects residents rights to decorate as long as the displays are safe and in good condition. So I guess you could leave your portable Santa up all year.

Eddie (14:02)

Dude, no. Dude, I'm telling you, the neighbors. I remember the first time we had it, one neighbor was walking her dog, and she was like, how long is that gonna stay up? Cause I think it was already January.

Bobby Bones (14:12)

But legally.

Eddie (14:14)

Legally, they can't.

Bobby Bones (14:15)

Neighbors may not like it, but they can't take it down according to the new act. Thought that was kind of cool.

Eddie (14:20)

There's a house that I drive by where, like, they might have at least 50 inflatables all over the yard, but when they turn them off, it just looks like a bunch of dead reindeer.

Bobby Bones (14:32)

Americans will spend 1.4 billion hours setting up new devices this holiday season. That's about 8.5 hours per adult. You have four kids. I assume that's a lot of your Christmas.

Eddie (14:43)

It's not really devices. It's assembling things. Assembling. Whatever, dude. Like, if it's a trampoline, if it's. It's been like four wheel, little electric four wheelers at times.

Bobby Bones (14:56)

I think all that counts, though, into this. Dude, it's brutal. Just. Just assembling.

Eddie (14:59)

It's the whole day.

Bobby Bones (15:00)

And, Brandon, your kid's getting older. So are you doing this now?

Brandon (15:03)

Yeah, like last year, we did the first big gift. We got them this, like, Target cashier station. Like, it's. It looks legit, and you can roll your you know, you can go up and shop, and there's, like, a cashier station and stuff. I'm like, oh, dude, this will be easy. Took me seven hours to set this thing up.

Eddie (15:23)

Crazy.

Brandon (15:23)

I was like. And it's, like, really good quality, but it just takes forever.

Bobby Bones (15:27)

Did he ever play with it?

Brandon (15:28)

All the time.

Bobby Bones (15:29)

Oh, still does.

Brandon (15:29)

Yeah, still does.

Todd McShay (15:30)

And.

Brandon (15:30)

And the swing set. We got him a swing set outside. Outside.

Eddie (15:33)

Oh, those are the worst.

Bobby Bones (15:34)

Oh, dude.

Brandon (15:35)

Seriously, the worst. Hire somebody or get just a bunch of buddies to help.

Eddie (15:40)

Yeah, but you hire someone that makes the Christmas present way more expensive. So bad.

Bobby Bones (15:45)

But also, if you hire somebody, they're probably not gonna come on Christmas Eve night, correct?

Brandon (15:50)

Well, yeah. So we got it for his birthday.

Bobby Bones (15:52)

There's just a big tarp outside, and the kids like, why is there a tarp covering something? Don't look at it.

Brandon (15:55)

Yeah, no. I started assembling it in my garage, right? Like, just piece by piece to where I could get to it. Then I didn't realize I couldn't get it out of my garage.

Bobby Bones (16:07)

Oh, no, you built it way too big inside.

Brandon (16:11)

And I didn't even think about it. I closed the garage. That's, like, closing up on. I'm like, oh, my gosh. I had to disassemble, and I called my brother. I was like, dude, you just have to get over here and fix this. It was so bad, but I had.

Bobby Bones (16:25)

To put together a bassinet. I don't put together a lot of stuff. We'll just hire people.

Eddie (16:30)

Yeah, smart.

Bobby Bones (16:32)

Because if I put it together, there is a chance that it's. I'm not gonna trust it. Even if I did a good job, I'm not gonna trust it. Therefore, I'm never gonna feel comfortable. And then it's also, maybe I don't do a good job putting it together. So I feel like it saves me time and energy. Emotional energy, worrying about it just to get people to put stuff together for me. Big stuff.

Eddie (16:51)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (16:52)

But we did the bassinet. We did the stroller slash car seat thing. But the crazy thing about the stroller slash car seat thing is there's so many different, like, versions of it. Because, like, when a baby's this month to this month, it's a bassinet on top. And then it's. You have to keep these pieces, and then you switch it out in three months to add something else and take something out. Don't forget.

Eddie (17:15)

Yeah.

Kevin (17:15)

As I get bigger, I got a.

Bobby Bones (17:17)

Feeling I'm just gonna buy a new one every time, right? Seriously, Because I'm not gonna trust that I'm right on this. I still am not convinced that I did it right when I did the whole stroller slash bassinet, car seat contraption. It's just way too much. It's like shampoo that washes your body and your hair and three in one.

Eddie (17:35)

Yeah, I think I saw one that was six in one one time. Like, what are the six of the shampoo? Body, whatever. Hair, skin.

Bobby Bones (17:43)

Yeah, that's interesting. I don't have to put anything together, but I guess we're putting that together.

Eddie (17:47)

Yeah, same thing, dude. But. But Christmas is different because everybody wants it that day. Like, they want to play with it that day. And, dude, the worst is, like, two years down the road when your wife's like, yeah, we're gonna get rid of that. Can you take that to the dump? And I'm like, all the memories of me putting that together for a whole day, like, and now I'm just throwing.

Bobby Bones (18:06)

You all the anger. So you saw. And I saw this clip too. Again, Maybe it's just recirculating the Rudy clip.

Eddie (18:12)

Yeah. Well, there's no video of Joe Montana talking about Rudy, but it's audio.

Bobby Bones (18:17)

Yeah. And I think it's on. Pardon my take. I think he's talking to Big Cat about it. Yeah. And pft. And so I. But again, I saw it recently, too.

Eddie (18:24)

Again, you have talked about this story for years and how Joe Montana has said that Rudy really didn't happen the way that the movie says it happened.

Bobby Bones (18:32)

So we have a clip on this mic. This is them talking to Joe Montana, who played at Notre Dame at the same time that Rudy played, same team, and talking about if it's true or not.

Todd McShay (18:39)

You know, I mean, the Rudy story made a great movie, and a lot of it was embellished. And, you know, we.

Brandon (18:44)

When I run into Rudy on the.

Todd McShay (18:45)

Road here and there, we laugh about.

Brandon (18:47)

It because a lot of things that happened.

Todd McShay (18:49)

Yeah, he got in. He got a sack. Was the crowd chanting? No.

Brandon (18:54)

Well, did I throw in my jersey?

Todd McShay (18:55)

No. Did he get carried off the field? He got carried off by three of.

Brandon (19:00)

The biggest pranksters in the team.

Todd McShay (19:03)

And they who said, had we known no one had gotten carried off.

Brandon (19:06)

We had never done it.

Todd McShay (19:07)

But, you know, Rudy worked hard. I won't lie. He is a walk on. He came in and got his butt kicked every day. And it was great to see that he got in and got us back.

Brandon (19:15)

And a lifetime memory for him.

Todd McShay (19:17)

And it became a movie. It's like a lot of movies they all get their movies.

Bobby Bones (19:22)

You can tell Joe Montana really wants to say other things.

Kevin (19:25)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (19:25)

You can tell he's holding it back. I didn't know no one had ever been carried off that says that. They say that in the movie he was the first one to ever be carried off.

Eddie (19:33)

Yes.

Bobby Bones (19:34)

And then Joe Montana's like, they were pranks. They probably wouldn't have done that if they'd have known.

Kevin (19:37)

Why I got to be a hater, though?

Bobby Bones (19:39)

Well, they were asking him about it.

Kevin (19:40)

Yeah.

Eddie (19:40)

It's not a hater.

Bobby Bones (19:41)

Yeah. But, like, do you want him to lie? Because what he said, too, and I've heard the long version of the interview, he's like, we didn't go in with our jerseys and be like, coach, yeah, if Rudy can't play, I'm out. That never happened.

Eddie (19:52)

I want him to dress in my place.

Bobby Bones (19:53)

Yeah.

Kevin (19:53)

I think all of us kind of knew that that was.

Eddie (19:55)

No, I thought that was real.

Kevin (19:56)

You thought every bit of that movie.

Bobby Bones (19:58)

I thought most of it, probably, but I was much younger when I watched it. Yeah. Now I realize everything's a lie. Yeah. Yeah.

Eddie (20:04)

That's a sad part of life.

Bobby Bones (20:05)

Everything's. The older you get, the more you realize everything's a lie.

Todd McShay (20:08)

Yes.

Eddie (20:08)

Not everything, but most things. Just so you have a little bit of hope.

Bobby Bones (20:12)

Generally, everything is. Unless I prove otherwise.

Eddie (20:15)

Correct.

Bobby Bones (20:15)

I don't mostly go into life going, I bet everything's real unless it proves it's fake. It's like, I don't trust anything unless I develop trust.

Eddie (20:23)

And how often do we really investigate to see if it's really true?

Bobby Bones (20:26)

I do. I look up every movie now. You just couldn't do that back in the day. Like, when I watch Roofman, Channing Tatum, the first thing I did was go through all of it so at point by point and see what was true and what wasn't. But I do that with movies that are based on actual events, and they do dramatize them, for sure.

Eddie (20:41)

Roofman was fairly accurate. Yes. Well, the details. It's fairly.

Bobby Bones (20:45)

It's good, though.

Brandon (20:46)

Yeah, me too.

Kevin (20:47)

The streaming now.

Bobby Bones (20:48)

Yeah, that's what.

Kevin (20:48)

I watched it.

Bobby Bones (20:49)

Yeah. Okay. Got a couple things.

Brandon (20:52)

This actually says that Rudy Rudiger claims that 92% of the movie is accurate.

Eddie (20:58)

How do you come up with 92?

Brandon (20:59)

Course it does.

Eddie (21:00)

92%.

Kevin (21:01)

Well, Joe Montana says 15% is the 8%.

Bobby Bones (21:04)

Like, all the big stuff, though, 100% of the movie, but the 8% is the jersey. Carry them all.

Kevin (21:11)

Highlights.

Bobby Bones (21:12)

You guys want to talk about Sean Moore for a second?

Kevin (21:14)

That's crazy.

Bobby Bones (21:15)

Just the quick version of it, because everybody knows we're not the only ones talking about this yesterday on Twitter. I just. He's fired. And I think, well, that's a weird time to fire your coach. You probably would have done it three months ago because you want to get one of the good coaches in the old coaching carousel. And then it's like, Sharon Morris allegedly got his executive center pregnant and it said forced her to have an abortion. But then I read plan B, and those are definitely different things. But then what did happen for sure is the cops went and arrested him because he had busted into her house and threatened her to kill her and threatened to kill himself. It just felt like he was crashing out hard. Do you know? I didn't see it.

Kevin (21:56)

Well, okay, so I was.

Bobby Bones (21:57)

You were. Kevin shaking his head. I thought everybody knew all that.

Kevin (21:59)

I didn't know, though. I knew, like, part of that, but I didn't know the whole house. Going into the house, and I was reading, trying to read this morning. I just couldn't find anything that.

Bobby Bones (22:05)

What do you want to know?

Kevin (22:06)

I know all of it. Well, I just want. I didn't know anything about the house. Like, him going to her house and, like, why he was arrested.

Eddie (22:13)

And this is recent.

Bobby Bones (22:13)

Yes. That was last night that they got.

Eddie (22:15)

That he got arrested.

Bobby Bones (22:16)

Yeah, it was last night.

Kevin (22:17)

Or detained is what they said.

Bobby Bones (22:18)

Yeah, yeah. Went to her house last night. Oh.

Kevin (22:20)

Oh, I did. Okay.

Eddie (22:21)

See, I didn't know that.

Bobby Bones (22:21)

Threatened her. Threatened himself, held a knife to his throat. And his wife was able to track him because they have to find my. On their phones, their iPhones.

Kevin (22:30)

Wow.

Bobby Bones (22:31)

So he was crashing out hard.

Eddie (22:32)

So last night after the news broke. Huh? Because news broke, what, 2. 2 o'.

Responsible Gambling Announcer (22:38)

Clock?

Kevin (22:39)

So, okay, so after he got fired is when he went over there.

Bobby Bones (22:42)

Seems like it.

Kevin (22:42)

Gotcha.

Eddie (22:43)

Dang.

Bobby Bones (22:44)

It also seems like they knew it was coming for a while because there were a lot of very ominous, yet somewhat generic tweets from people in sports that are like, this is not it. There's one more big one that we hear is coming without saying what it was. Then there were some people that had burner accounts that were posting specifics like, Sean Moore's getting fired because he knocked somebody up. And they're like, weeks ago. But nobody believed it because they were just burner accounts.

Kevin (23:10)

Wow.

Bobby Bones (23:11)

So obviously they've known something.

Kevin (23:14)

And they said they had been investigating since beginning of fall. Didn't really find much. But then recently they found all this.

Bobby Bones (23:20)

So Michigan, allegedly, the investigation started from a doordash driver bringing plan B and dropping it off at, like, the office. If still they and someone like reported.

Eddie (23:30)

Send it to the gutsy man. That must make you feel like you can just do whatever you want.

Bobby Bones (23:35)

And I think this is hot Take. Had he been winning a lot of games and beating Ohio State, he probably could have done whatever he wanted to. And I don't think they'd have probably turned him in, right?

Kevin (23:46)

Yeah. Yeah. If this was 30 years ago, I bet.

Bobby Bones (23:49)

No problem.

Eddie (23:49)

For sure.

Bobby Bones (23:51)

Who knows? Yeah, it's carte blanche. You're a successful coach. You do whatever you want. Yeah. Wild story, huh? I haven't seen much of an update today because we've been at it since early this morning from doing the radio show, doing St. Jude, all this stuff. Mike, have you seen any update at all? I haven't yet.

Eddie (24:06)

Do you think he knew that it was coming?

Bobby Bones (24:08)

Oh, yeah. People are already tweeting about it. Oh, man. Yes. Like the worst part of his day a couple weeks ago, probably wasn't losing to Ohio State.

Kevin (24:15)

Yes.

Bobby Bones (24:17)

Yeah, I'll read. Straw. Moore was fired by Michigan Wednesday afternoon for having an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. Was later detained by police and is currently being held at the Something county jail. Not for sure. The area there. Inappropriate relationship with a staff member. This is. I'm going to read this from the Athletic. Do you subscribe to the Athletic, Kevin?

Kevin (24:37)

You know what? I don't. But it's funny you say that. I was literally thinking about it, I think yesterday or something because I click on so many things and I can't read it. But I love all the people that work there. Like, I love their work.

Bobby Bones (24:46)

It is one of the few things I subscribe to in that vein where you have to pay. That's behind a paywall because eventually all news comes out anyway.

Kevin (24:53)

Yeah, it's.

Bobby Bones (24:55)

It's. It's great.

Brandon (24:56)

It's worth it.

Kevin (24:57)

It's great at home.

Bobby Bones (24:57)

Yeah. No charges have been formally filed. The investigation is ongoing. Police have not released any additional information. Following a university investigation, credible evidence was found that coach Moore engaged in inappropriate. Someone's in my gate. Hold on.

Eddie (25:10)

All right, Santa. The big.

Bobby Bones (25:12)

It's not. It's Amazon. I'm letting him in.

Eddie (25:14)

It's your wife setting up Big Santa for you.

Bobby Bones (25:16)

Can you imagine? I lost my place. But Moore, 39. He's only 39.

Eddie (25:23)

Yeah.

Kevin (25:23)

That's.

Bobby Bones (25:24)

Just completed a second season as head coach after serving as an assistant coach on Harbaugh staff. His firing came with a little warning. Moore's in the process of assembling his staff for next season. Another thing I read too was them speculating that they didn't announce until after the signing. All those kids signed.

Kevin (25:40)

I saw that after signing day.

Bobby Bones (25:42)

Yeah, Michigan started 4:3 in Moore's first season. Also that first season they knew the cupboard was pretty barren when Harbaugh left and.

Kevin (25:52)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (25:55)

Nine left. Yeah, nine. You know nine is Eddie.

Eddie (25:59)

No.

Bobby Bones (25:59)

Oh yeah, that's his name. When he plays football his. His name is nine. Always the character. It's like who he goes into.

Eddie (26:08)

Nine set. No, that's not Cam Newton.

Brandon (26:13)

What's a current.

Bobby Bones (26:13)

He would have played at Michigan.

Kevin (26:15)

Think of the number.

Eddie (26:17)

Tom Brady was a nine.

Bobby Bones (26:18)

He would have played at Michigan and left when Harbaugh left.

Eddie (26:21)

So nine. Blake Corum. Nice.

Bobby Bones (26:23)

Okay, you're now getting there at least. Oh, it's current in the right.

Brandon (26:28)

Yeah, yeah.

Eddie (26:28)

McCarthy.

Bobby Bones (26:29)

Yeah, he's nine when he plays.

Eddie (26:31)

Okay.

Bobby Bones (26:32)

Yeah, he did have a decent game last week finally. Yeah, yeah. To be fair, the. And this is right after Connor Stallions. That situation.

Kevin (26:39)

Yeah, Michigan's man, they've had a crazy three or four years.

Bobby Bones (26:42)

Well, they got out of the Connor Stallions when pretty, pretty luckily very. I mean Harbaugh got 10 years of not being able to coach college as he's going to coach the friggin pros.

Kevin (26:51)

Yeah, he's like cool.

Bobby Bones (26:52)

I did take a picture of the odds for who's going to be the next coach at Michigan. This is just odds. So no, number one. Is.

Kevin (27:07)

Can I guess?

Bobby Bones (27:07)

Well, I thought I did. It's not Coldplay. It's a different odd.

Kevin (27:12)

Well, Chris Martin.

Bobby Bones (27:14)

No, I thought it was. I thought I had the odds but go ahead. Who do you think it is?

Kevin (27:17)

I was going to say Gruden. No, he's got to be up there.

Bobby Bones (27:19)

No, like the top guys were Jed Fish who's at Washington. Yeah. The offensive coordinator at with the Chargers because he left Michigan to go with Harbaugh to come back. I believe that was another one. Kaylin DeBoer at Alabama was up there high on the list. I thought I had screenshotted that one.

Eddie (27:44)

What was the Coldplay thing?

Bobby Bones (27:45)

You screenshot billboards Year end top tours 2025.

Eddie (27:47)

Oh, nice.

Bobby Bones (27:48)

Guess who number one is.

Eddie (27:50)

2025 Taylor Coldplay.

Bobby Bones (27:54)

I just said it.

Eddie (27:54)

Oh, I thought you. I thought yeah, that is the top man. I'm bad, my bad.

Bobby Bones (27:59)

I read you the wrong one. Yeah. So I thought I had that. I do have the odds though of the Chiefs and the Cowboys making the playoffs.

Kevin (28:08)

Here we go. Here's our Weekly segment.

Eddie (28:10)

Cowboys got to be better odds than the Chiefs.

Bobby Bones (28:13)

They're about the same. But here's the deal. I put the odds in as if both teams go 4 0, right? So if both teams go 4 0, the odds they make the playoffs. If they don't, they ain't making the playoffs. So best case scenario has to be the case scenario you put in when you do the odds. Because you can go 0% as soon as they lose another game. Everybody with me?

Eddie (28:37)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (28:38)

If they go four. And oh, the Kansas City Chiefs odds to make the playoffs, 49%.

Kevin (28:43)

Wow.

Bobby Bones (28:44)

Now they have to go four. No, there needs to be some losses by specific people, which is what that is. If The Cowboys go 4 0, 52%, 52. They're both about a coin flip.

Eddie (28:55)

Let's go, baby.

Bobby Bones (28:56)

But both. Still. I looked at the Cowboy, or excuse me, the Chiefs odds, because I bet them at plus 385, meaning if you bet 100 bucks, you're going to win $385. So 485 will come back to you. I bet them at that to make the playoffs just since that bet and they haven't played since. It's now like +515, which means it's even worse. Yeah, but those are the odds for the Chiefs and the Cowboys to make the playoffs.

Eddie (29:18)

I like it. Especially because the Eagles aren't playing great.

Bobby Bones (29:22)

The Eagles are not playing great. That's right. That's a pretty difficult. Last Monday game, we didn't talk about that. How could. We weren't on.

Eddie (29:28)

We did not talk about that.

Bobby Bones (29:29)

Yeah, I have another picture because I just take a bunch of pictures of stuff. Cowboys are at 5 or excuse me, the Chiefs are at 5. 50. All the jobs. I saw Cole Cubic tweet this. Someone hands you the list before the season and tells you all these jobs will be open this same cycle. Florida, lsu, Auburn, Penn State, Michigan, Virginia Tech, Stanford, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Kansas State, Cal, ucla, Iowa State, Kentucky, Michigan State.

Kevin (29:53)

Yeah, it's crazy, crazy.

Bobby Bones (29:54)

All those jobs open this year. I thought I was going to get one of them. There's somebody open.

Eddie (29:59)

It's your chance.

Bobby Bones (30:00)

Break down and give me a job there. So, yeah, it was a weird day yesterday. It's weird how things happen and then it becomes like a core sports memory of the year. I remember when Kobe died. I remember just popping up on my feet like Kobe. Right. That's weird. In a helicopter crash. And then it takes a life of its own. And now I remember it specifically. I don't know that I'M going to remember specifically where I was when Shrone Moore got busted for. But still, that's like it's one of the biggest sports stories of the year.

Kevin (30:25)

Yeah. Because it's out of nowhere, out of.

Bobby Bones (30:27)

And such a weird time.

Kevin (30:29)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (30:30)

What's going to be hard is whomever takes his job, it's going to be harder for that school to replace that spot than Michigan replacing their spot because Michigan's arguably a top five job.

Kevin (30:42)

Yeah. Still Michigan.

Bobby Bones (30:43)

And there are a lot of coaches maybe even in the playoff now that would possibly leave meaning a Kaylin deboer after the season's over. I don't know that. And they have a lot of money. Obviously I don't know that a guy like Signetti is going to go, but if there was a job he would leave even Indiana for right now. It's a job like that.

Eddie (31:03)

It's a huge jump.

Bobby Bones (31:05)

I don't think he will, but that's one of probably the three, the two or three jobs that I would think he would actually make that move for. Yeah.

Kevin (31:12)

That seemed like a program he would love to just lead and be a part of. Man, he would kill that.

Bobby Bones (31:18)

It would almost feel like Oklahoma City's under now. Or they just don't lose. You're just like there's no chance they're going to be bad. They have 800 million bucks on three players that those three players are in with the Thunder for the next four and five years and they've lost one game.

Brandon (31:32)

That's insane.

Bobby Bones (31:34)

And not only that, they have for sure the Clippers pick. And if the Utah Jazz are outside the top eight, they have that pick. So if the Utah Jazz are 9, 10, 11, 12, they're going to have two lottery picks.

Eddie (31:45)

Wow.

Bobby Bones (31:45)

Two new rookie contracts and what's probably the greatest draft class in the past 20 years overall. One of the deepest. And they did it the right way.

Kevin (31:54)

Not the KD way.

Bobby Bones (31:55)

It's hard to hate except for they're just winning. They didn't go and just buy big players. Yeah.

Kevin (32:05)

I haven't watched any of them this year because they're just dominating.

Bobby Bones (32:07)

They drafted them or traded for them before they popped. Now they have Shay because they made the trade and that's also why they have the Clippers draft pick. They got a bunch but they have shade because that's when they sent off Paul George. Paul George.

Kevin (32:22)

Clippers are in shambles right now.

Bobby Bones (32:24)

And again I'm very Thundercentric family. Yeah. My father in law watches every Thunder game and has for since they moved To Oklahoma City. Like, he's a massive fan. My wife watches most games. We don't watch west coast games because that's too late. But we. So I don't watch all the games with her. It's weird. My house is like that. Like, she's watching games and I'm over, you know, dicking around.

Eddie (32:48)

Yeah, she's watching the OKC Thunder play.

Bobby Bones (32:53)

So. Yeah, it's crazy. We. We do have coming up in a second, Todd McShay, which we do get into the playoff, I think. Why don't we take a break and we'll come back and we'll go to Todd McShay in just a second. We got to do a parlay. We're going to do an NFL parlay this week.

Kevin (33:07)

Cool. Really?

Eddie (33:07)

A little different.

Kevin (33:09)

There's, like, no Cult.

Bobby Bones (33:11)

Yeah. There's no.

Eddie (33:12)

There's only army one game.

Bobby Bones (33:15)

I mean, you guys can jump in on this.

Eddie (33:20)

Look at the lines.

Bobby Bones (33:21)

All I know is last week when the college game happened and it went to that second set of games, all of our parlay was still up. So when you went to the app, my face was the first one that you saw? Oh, yeah.

Eddie (33:31)

It was awesome.

Sophie Cunningham (33:32)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (33:32)

Except we missed, like, everyone. Everybody got.

Kevin (33:34)

Yeah, but it's still cool. Still got the promo right there in the front.

Brandon (33:36)

And there was like, 800 people who at the time that I looked at it.

Eddie (33:40)

That better that you did the bet?

Bobby Bones (33:41)

Yeah, I saw it. It was more than that. It was. Must have been later up before. No, no, no, no.

Kevin (33:46)

Like 8 million. I saw 8,000.

Brandon (33:48)

Right.

Bobby Bones (33:49)

I saw 8 trillion, actually. Kevin, do you want to do your team?

Kevin (33:57)

Yeah. Cuz look at that disrespect. We're dogs at home.

Eddie (34:01)

What?

Bobby Bones (34:01)

1.1 and a half are you going? Patriots plus one and a half years.

Kevin (34:04)

Plus one and a half.

Bobby Bones (34:06)

Okay.

Eddie (34:07)

Eddie, man, I could go all the way down to Sunday night, and there's a game I'm interested in. It's the Cowboys minus five and a half. This is very important, very important.

Bobby Bones (34:18)

Against the Vikings, but in Dallas.

Eddie (34:19)

In Dallas. So let's go. Cowboys minus five and a half.

Bobby Bones (34:26)

Are you plugging this in? Yeah, I'm circling it to see what the odds are.

Kevin (34:29)

Oh, oh, no, no, no.

Eddie (34:30)

You want to plug it in? I got you.

Bobby Bones (34:32)

If you plug those two in. Because I think to get up, we got to be like +330 or something.

Eddie (34:37)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (34:38)

Is that what it is, Mike? Yeah.

Eddie (34:40)

Right now we are at 262.

Bobby Bones (34:42)

If I just did the Chiefs money line, what does that put us at?

Eddie (34:48)

Let's go. Chief's money line is minus 250. So it equals plus 393.

Bobby Bones (34:54)

Okay. Chiefs moneyline. They're playing the Chargers. We need to win that one.

Eddie (34:59)

You got away with the money line. I would have loved a Cowboys money line.

Bobby Bones (35:03)

I only got that money line because you took this.

Kevin (35:06)

I know.

Hi, Dr. Laurie Santos from the Happiness Lab here. It's the season of giving, which is why my podcast is partnering with GiveDirectly, a nonprofit that provides people in extreme poverty with the cash they need. This year, we're taking part in the Pods Fight Poverty campaign. And it's not just the Happiness Lab. Some of my favorite podcasters are also taking part. Think Jay Shetty from On Purpose, dan Harris from 10% Happier, and Dave Destino from How God Works and more. Our goal this year is to raise $1 million, which will help over 700 families in Rwanda living in extreme poverty. Here's how it works. You donate to GiveDirectly and they put that cash directly into the hands of families in need because those families know best what they need, whether it's buying livestock to fertilize their farm, paying school fees, or starting a small business. With that support, families can invest in their future and build lasting change. So join me and your favorite podcasters in the Pods Fight Poverty campaign. Head to GiveDirectly.org HappinessLab to learn more and make a contribution. And if you're a first time donor, giving multiplier will even match your gift. That's GiveDirectly.org HappinessLab to donate.

Tune in to hear how she broke into the Boys Club, what it takes to be pro and why just being grateful you're here shouldn't be the price of entry.

Bobby Bones (39:49)

Maybe the industry thinks that we just started skating five years ago cuz that's when they maybe started paying attention.

Sophie Cunningham (39:54)

It's a no fluff conversation about putting in the years, stacking clips and receipts and still having to prove your worth while the industry catches up. You break down the door sick now.

Bobby Bones (40:48)

Our talk with longtime NFL draft analyst Todd McShay. He spent nearly two decades at ESPN covering the draft. One of the best. He's one of the best. Todd has his own show called the McShay show, which is fantastic. I listen to it. You can listen to it wherever you get your podcast and you can follow Todd on socials. Che13 thanks to Todd for coming on. Here he is, Todd McShay. All right, we have Todd McShay on from the McShay show podcast, which I do listen to religiously. I was listening to the episode Todd, whenever you guys were watching the reveal of the bracket and you guys had gone on pre and you watched it live and then I, you know, like myself. But I think I just followed your lead. To me, I was a little irritated at how there were two G5 schools in that. They obviously couldn't predict that because they messed up year one too because they couldn't predict that. What would you do moving forward? Not even this year. How would you fix the 12 game bracket system now? Because we can't have two G5 teams in next year, right?

Todd McShay (41:42)

No, we Can't. Honestly, it's the disappointing part for me, Bobby, is that we have all these really highly intelligent people who spend a lot of time on this. Right. Why does it take failure for change to occur? Why can't we have more vision?

Eddie (42:00)

Right.

Todd McShay (42:01)

Why didn't we foresee that there would be a problem with having the, the top four seeds or the top, the, the conference champions, I should say from last year becoming the top four seeds because ultimately you're going to put in a team that maybe doesn't deserve a buy in that first week and then we fixed it after, after failure.

Eddie (42:18)

Right.

Todd McShay (42:18)

A year ago and then the sec and then so you fast forward to this year and you say how did all these smart people not realize that there is a potential if a Big 12 or an ACC, as, as was the case this year has a down year and a five loss, Duke team winds up winning the conference championship and we could wind up having two G5s. So the first problem is there's got to be a bar and a standard for, for how we're selecting the 12 teams. And when I look at it, there's two things that I would change. First off, it shouldn't be if, if the ACC or the Big 12, I don't foresee it ever being the Big 10 or the SEC. If one of those two conferences doesn't have a champion that's deserving of being in the, of deserving of being in the 12 team playoff, then let's go to the next highest seed. Let's make, let's, instead of giving it to a conference champion, let's open it up for an automatic or for a, a, an at large bid. There are seven at large bids. If we had an 8 8th at large bid because there was a conference champion with five losses and it wasn't ranked that high, then we could have had Notre Dame in as well. So that's the first part. The second part to me is I'm cool. If a G5 program has a special year like a Boise State, maybe even even last year when they beat in Oregon and they're ranked high enough where you say you know what they deserve to be in, but there should be a higher bar to get in. And again, let's just open up an automatic or a, a an at large bid and some years we'll have a G5 program in because they're having a special year. They won undefeated, they beat a Power 4 program and you look at them, well, they're ranked 10th. So they absolutely deserve to be in but if they're not ranked in the top 12 and they didn't have a special year, then let's open it up. Because this year we could have had Notre Dame and BYU instead of Tulane and jmu. And how much better would this playoff be? When I'm looking at the brackets now we've got Oregon versus JMU. It's like a 17 or 21 point spread. Then we've got two lane Ole Miss, by the way, a rematch of a 45 to 210 or 15 score. 45 to 10 score. What are we doing? This is not best for college football and it's not the best 12 teams.

Bobby Bones (44:43)

Yeah. I think with the ability we have to run scenarios through even AI, I was surprised that those members of that board, of that council didn't run every, like, hey, AI, run and tell me everything that could go wrong with how we have this set up. And it didn't pop up that well. You could get two teams because it's pretty limitless as to what AI can do. You see, the NFL do it with scheduling. Like, why did they just not use the technology that we have to predict it? You mentioned JMU. They played what, one Power Four team and lost? I think it was Louisville by 14 points. To Louisville. Yep. If you don't beat a Power 4 team, maybe moving forward like I feel if you don't beat one, maybe you shouldn't even be in the tournament.

Todd McShay (45:23)

I don't disagree. Let's just set the bar higher. However you, I think, you know, figuring out what if we just set it at 12, if they're not ranked in the top 12, then the G, the G5, you know, gives up their, their right to play in the College Football Playoff and that opens up another at large bid. I mean, I think it's that simple. If you want to make it the top 15, then we could do that too. And neither, neither of these teams would have been in. But I think we just have to raise the bar for that G5 program getting. It's not the NCAA tournament, which is what, 64 teams now or whatever it is, where you've got all of these teams and it's great to have a Cinderella program in there and, and maybe a handful of them. But when you're talking about 12 teams and we'll get to 16 teams, you know, in the, in the near future. But when you're talking about 12 teams, there should be a much higher bar. That's my only complaint.

Bobby Bones (46:17)

They voted to punt. What they're going to do with the tournament for next year to make any changes, obviously. Do you think because of what happened there will be changes that go into next year's College Football Playoff?

Todd McShay (46:28)

I think there will will be changes preventing us from having two G5 programs.

Bobby Bones (46:34)

What about adding teams?

Todd McShay (46:35)

I don't honestly like a Pete Thammel or someone would be better equipped to, to discuss that right now, I'm honest. I'm starting to shift the focus to the NFL draft. I, my understanding though is it's probably going to be 2027 before we see a, a 16 team playoff or beyond. I don't think it'll be in 2026, but, but we'll see if, if something happens where they, they affect immediate change for next year.

Bobby Bones (47:00)

What do you see draft wise for Mendoza? Is he won the number one quarterback and is he the number one pick?

Todd McShay (47:07)

I think he very well could be. I really do. And I wanted to see Saturday night, man, I really did. He played. It's interesting because some of his best tapes in terms of NFL evaluation are not the ones where he's like 21 of 23, like when he was brilliant against Illinois. They're the tapes where he kind of struggled a little bit early on, but he fought through it. He showed toughness, resiliency, made NFL throws in critical situations, delivered in clutch moments. I'm referring to specifically Iowa. Oregon on the road, Iowa on the road, Penn State at Happy Valley, and then now in the, the Ohio State Conference championship game in Indianapolis. So these are all four games against really good defenses. Even Penn State has really talent, you know, high level of talent on the defensive side. Iowa does and is extremely well coached. Oregon does and I think we're about to see. I think Oregon's capable of making a little bit of a run in this college football playoff because I think their defense is vastly underrated. So those are the moments that as an evaluator you kind of hang your hat on and you say, I'm seeing it against really good defenses and I'm seeing him rebound from some early struggles. I'm also seeing him against the best defense in the country in Ohio State when the moment was huge, coming through and delivering. And I'm seeing it without his best receiver in a lot of those games, whether it's, you know, Elijah Surat has been in and out of the lineup or Omar Cooper who, who's been in and out of the lineup and including the, the Big Ten championship game where he was, he was knocked out of that game pretty early on. So I wanted to see him against Ohio State before I did this all chips in, right. And, and we saw it and I know the numbers weren't perfect and he had other games where his numbers were far superior to what those numbers were in the Big Ten championship. But as an evaluator, I saw a lot in that game. I think he is the first quarterback drafted. I think he's absolutely the Heisman Trophy winner. I think when you look at, I actually just printed out the draft board today the Giants have the first overall pick. I think they're in a prime. If the, if the draft were to be held today, we'll see how the rest of the NFL season plays out. But if the Giants had the first overall pick, you got Vegas sitting at two, you got Cleveland sitting at four with two first round picks. You've got the Rams with that Atlanta pick sitting at nine with two first round picks. You've got the jets sitting there at seven. Just a couple picks before the Rams with two first round picks this year and multiple first round picks next year. So, and the big question to me is, and I think it will be determined in the College Football Playoff, will Dante Moore of Oregon join this class? I don't think Ty Simpson will from Alabama. I think we've seen enough in his game where he needs more game experience. He's a one year starter. Moore only had five starts at ucla sat a year developed under Will Stein. But what's intriguing is I talked to an NFL scout who had talked to Dante Moore's parents, the agent, coaching staff, everyone was convinced he was coming back for next season. But that's before he's kind of rejuvenated. His season has gone on a little bit of a run. And most importantly, Will Stein has taken the head coaching job at Kentucky. So he's the wild card with all those teams I mentioned that need a quarterback in the top 10. And with multiple teams, three of them having multiple first round picks, there's, there's, as always is the case, a high demand for the quarterback. If Mendoza goes one to one of those teams, trading up for the number one spot ahead of the Raiders at two as it currently sits, it could be Cleveland from four, it could be the jets from seven, it could be the Rams from nine. They'll be trading up for Mendoza. I believe he'll be the first overall pick and likely in a trade for, for that pick. After that though, all those other teams are sitting there saying if it's not Dante Moore, if he's going back to school, if it's not Ty Simpson, he's going Back to school. There's no other first round quarterback in this class and that's going to be fascinating to watch how it plays out between now and that January 14th date for underclassmen to declare. And it could be extended if Oregon is still in Oregon or Alabama are still in the playoff.

Bobby Bones (51:19)

I'm curious about other quarterbacks because it felt like going into the season it was the year of the quarterback with an U.S. meyer who has to go and declare, but also Lenore Sellers who everybody was high on and South Carolina did not perform like I think people had hoped they would. What, what is your grade on those two guys?

Todd McShay (51:33)

Nussmeier's tough because I don't think we saw a healthy Nussmeyer all year long. Coming into the year of the, of the seniors and the eligible prospects, I thought he was the best of the group. Hasn't had a run game in two years at lsu. Came into the season this year. There was talk about the knee and some tendinitis there. He had the abdominal strain and never got a lot of clarity. But we will during the draft process. So you kind of have to go back to the best of Nuss Meyer when he was healthy and that guy has first round ability. I could envision as we get closer to the draft and throughout the process now that he's healthy, you know, when he starts to work out for teams, combine pro days, individual workouts. More importantly, as a coach's son with his father, now the OC at, at New Orleans, he's been a quarterbacks coach, he played quarterback in the NFL. He's been around ball his whole life. So when he gets on that board and starts to meet with teams, I think he's going to really win them over. So I'm not ruling out completely. Maybe like a Jackson Dart type late first round team trades in like the Giants did last year. But I do think Nuss Meyer currently is constructed is probably a second round grade. Lenora Sellers might be the most talented of all these guys, but he's just not ready. And there were moments this year where I saw some improvement and I thought he was trending towards being a first round pick. If I were advising Lenoris, Lenor's parents, Lenoris himself, his agent, he needs another year in school. Now is that at South Carolina? That, that's his decision. I think a lot of people will be banging down the, you know, on the doorstep of, of of the Sellers family, if you will, to try to talk him into going somewhere else. I've heard rumors about Miami and Indiana and some other programs, we'll see how that plays out. But Lenoris, of all these guys, not he's the most talented, but he's the one who needs more game experience and more development, probably more than anyone in this class.

Bobby Bones (53:32)

What did you see in Drake May 2 years ago that now when you watch him, you feel like you kind of nailed it?

Todd McShay (53:40)

The ability. He was a, he was a harder evaluation than he should have been because that offensive system, a lot of RPOs, a lot of quick game getting the ball out, it wasn't structured the way you see football structured on a Sunday. So. And he didn't have the supporting cast that others did. You know, you got to remember that Caleb Williams, the offensive line wasn't great, but he had weapons and more like Jaden Daniels had weapons and offensive line play and developed, you know, at LSU over his two years and went from like a third to fifth round prospect to the number two overall pick. So when you got to Drake May, you're looking to say he doesn't have the cast that those other guys has have. He doesn't have the, the offensive system that you kind of, you know, with at lsu, it was Brian Kelly and it was a system. It was Dembrock, I think was the offensive coordinator with at Caleb, it was with Lincoln Riley and he had already sent Baker, he had already sent Kyler Murray, you know, like it was trusted. So that made it slightly more complicated. But my gosh, like, I'll be honest, I knew he was going to be a damn good football player in the NFL. I didn't know that he was going to get to this level as a passer this quickly. And it's been awesome to watch because you see a guy who's always had armed talent and has made some special throws and can extend plays and has the strength and the mind and the mobility and all those things. But I thought it might be a two or three year development process, kind of like a Josh Allen, right, as a passer and he in year two has just taken off and it's been, it's been really cool to watch.

Bobby Bones (55:22)

The McShay report is great. I imagine you're working on that all the time, right?

Todd McShay (55:25)

Bobby Bones (55:50)

Todd McShay (55:59)

I appreciate it. It's, it's a labor of love and, and I've, it's been awesome watching in just one year the growth of it because we do, we pour and I have a lot of support with editors and, and with, with mensch behind the scenes who's my co host on the show. We, we pour a lot into it.

Okay. I didn't want to cheat because I do have, like, certain people that were on that list.

Bobby Bones (58:39)

Yeah, we did the Wikipedia pages because there were also events like Charlie Kirk's death that made it, like, overall deaths. It's not that these are actual celebrities. Are you guys ready?

Oh, there you go.

Bobby Bones (63:42)

Yeah. Number five, Drake. Really?

Brandon (63:45)

Okay.

Bobby Bones (63:46)

Lady Gaga, Elon Musk, Olivia Rodrigo, Selena Gomez, Cristiano Ronaldo are in the top 10. Adele, Cardi B. Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Billie eilish. Round out 15. You had LeBron, Scarlett Johansson at 17.

Eddie (64:03)

Shakira.

Bobby Bones (64:03)

Shakira at 18. Ed Sheeran at 19. Nicki Minaj at 20. You had Kardashian at 21, Beyonce at 22, Kendrick at 23. Now, a lot of that Kendrick searching was probably last year's super bowl. And there. Or the controversy where people are like, I loved it. I hated it.

Eddie (64:20)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (64:20)

Dua Lipa at 24, Travis Scott at number 25.

Kevin (64:24)

Why was Lady Gaga on there?

Eddie (64:26)

Curious people, man.

Kevin (64:28)

I mean, that's dated.

Brandon (64:29)

What's around the world, Right?

Bobby Bones (64:30)

But also, didn't she have move? Mike did.

Eddie (64:32)

What is on Wednesday?

Bobby Bones (64:32)

The TV show. Netflix.

Eddie (64:34)

She's on Wednesday.

Bobby Bones (64:35)

Yeah. I don't know.

Brandon (64:36)

She's always up Joker too.

Bobby Bones (64:38)

Maybe that's what you just say to get out of the segment. I don't know. She's always up to something. I don't know. There's a list of the oldest players in NFL history. Obviously this is because. Which is pretty exciting. The Colts. I mean, there's no other reason to watch them. They kind of suck now. But Philip Rivers is coming back at 44.

Eddie (64:57)

Is he going to play?

Bobby Bones (64:58)

He may start.

Brandon (64:59)

I love it.

Bobby Bones (65:00)

The last I heard was they were just going to evaluate him in practice.

Eddie (65:02)

Yeah, that's what I saw, too.

Bobby Bones (65:04)

So Warren Moon was 44 in his final season and he's about 15 people. Warren Moon was 44. Steve Deberg, 44. I don't think kicker should count.

Eddie (65:14)

No, they can play till they're seven.

Bobby Bones (65:16)

Because they, like, seven of these are kickers.

Eddie (65:18)

Sebastian oldest. Sebastian Janakowski, he was old.

Bobby Bones (65:21)

He just looked old.

Eddie (65:22)

Oh, he wasn't old.

Bobby Bones (65:24)

Morton Anderson was 47.

Eddie (65:26)

Oh, yeah.

Bobby Bones (65:26)

But George Blanda, this is 1975. He was a quarterback and a kicker. Oh, that's cool. He is the oldest ever at 48 because he was playing quarterback. I think he makes the list. So 48. I'm eliminating the kickers. The second was Tom Brady at 45.

Eddie (65:37)

Dang.

Bobby Bones (65:38)

It's crazy that it was still Brady playing without retiring, just switch teams. But still playing at 45. Who's older than Philip Rivers is now?

Kevin (65:44)

Right.

Bobby Bones (65:45)

And Rivers has been gone for five years.

Kevin (65:46)

He was up for the hall of Fame.

Bobby Bones (65:47)

Rivers this year, like Brady would have already been in the hall of Fame.

Kevin (65:51)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (65:51)

If he had retired at the same time that Philip Rivers retired.

Kevin (65:55)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (65:56)

I saw a thing that Philip Rivers was playing in college against Chris Winky.

Kevin (66:02)

Oh, my gosh.

Bobby Bones (66:02)

At Florida State. Yeah. They played against each other in a bowl game. It was like Florida State, North Carolina.

Eddie (66:06)

Chris was old.

Bobby Bones (66:06)

North Carolina State.

Kevin (66:07)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (66:08)

Yeah. Chris was old to begin with. He was like 27 because he played minor league baseball. And then one. The Heisman, I think. Yeah.

Eddie (66:14)

Wait, and Kevin, didn't you see Philip Rivers?

Kevin (66:16)

Yeah. Last year down in Alabama.

Bobby Bones (66:19)

At a gas station.

Kevin (66:20)

Yeah, at a gas station. Ran into him. I was like, holy crap, that's Philip Rivers.

Bobby Bones (66:25)

Yeah.

Kevin (66:25)

I'm not bad mouthing anybody, but he did not look like he was in plane shape. That's why I'm interested.

Bobby Bones (66:30)

He didn't really look like he's in.

Eddie (66:31)

Plan shape at the podium.

Bobby Bones (66:32)

Oh, yeah, I know.

Kevin (66:33)

He even said he's like, well, I've never been light on my feet, so it's all good.

Eddie (66:36)

I think they asked him too, like, what?

Todd McShay (66:37)

Wait, are you.

Bobby Bones (66:37)

Yeah, they did ask him that. You never ask a woman or wait till the. Rivers. It's okay.

Eddie (66:40)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (66:42)

Next up, third on the list, eliminating kickers, is Bobby Marshall. Defensive end, 45 years old, but his final season was 1925.

Eddie (66:50)

Defensive end, huh?

Bobby Bones (66:51)

1925.

Eddie (66:52)

Yeah, I get it. But it's still old to play football.

Bobby Bones (66:54)

1925, leather helmets. Yeah.

Kevin (66:56)

See, the first year of NFL football.

Bobby Bones (66:58)

Benny Testaverde was 44 when he retired.

Kevin (67:01)

Dang.

Bobby Bones (67:02)

Steve Deberg, Warren Moon, also 44. I'm rooting for them. They're a 14 point underdog. Yeah, but that would be so funny. If he comes in and actually plays. I will. I guess my metric is, is he better than Aaron Rodgers? His second year with the Jets. That's a good comparison because year one and also Rogers is five years, maybe four years younger, but. So he's old, but he's coming back from injury. So that if he's better than Rogers then. Or Flacco now. Yeah, he's older than Flacco.

Kevin (67:39)

Yeah, yeah. Because the Rogers injury. Add a year or two at that age.

Bobby Bones (67:43)

Yeah.

Eddie (67:45)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (67:45)

Cool.

Kevin (67:47)

Hope he does well.

Eddie (67:48)

So Notre Dame guy, they're not going to give him a chance. The Notre Dame, Riley Leonard, it's just kind of. That was his one time.

Bobby Bones (67:54)

Well, he's got a hurt leg, so he's. Oh, he's hurt.

Eddie (67:56)

And Anthony Richardson's hurt.

Bobby Bones (67:58)

Now, he may play and he's been practicing, but he was questionable earlier in the week. And I watched some interviews at like his locker and he's like, I don't know if I'm going to start or not. But Riley Leonard also has a relationship with Philip Rivers. They're from the same town and Philip Rivers has like mentored Riley Leonard.

Eddie (68:11)

Oh, that's cool.

Bobby Bones (68:11)

And also Philip Rivers has played for the Colts coach before. And they asked him, they said, hey, what's it like having someone that's older than you. You're coaching. He goes, I've coached him before. Like he was older than me when we played together before. So it ain't really that. That weird. But yeah, that's fun. Anything else for you guys? Anything on your mind that we didn't get to.

Kevin (68:31)

Yeah. Do you guys see in and outs here?

Bobby Bones (68:33)

I thought about going yesterday.

Eddie (68:34)

Oh, Kevin, did you go?

Kevin (68:35)

I went to see and I was like, nope, no, thank you. I don't feel like waiting in this line for God knows how long.

Eddie (68:41)

What were you going to do over there? You're going to.

Bobby Bones (68:43)

My wife's pregnant. And so she's like, man, I'd like some in and out. And I said, oh, yeah. They open it, we look both of them up. One of them is 25 minutes. Is one Antioch.

Brandon (68:52)

That's.

Bobby Bones (68:52)

That's. Yeah. And then there's one in another town, Murfreesboro.

Kevin (68:57)

I don't know that one.

Bobby Bones (68:58)

Murphysboro opens.

Kevin (68:59)

Mount Juliet.

Bobby Bones (68:59)

Mount Juliet.

Kevin (69:00)

Juliet. Yeah.

Bobby Bones (69:01)

And so that was like 45 minutes away. And so I was like, I will go like, whatever you want. I'll go. I'll go sit in line. And she finds a tick tock of the line, the rap, and it's rap, rap, rap, rap, rap, rap, rap, rap. I'll go sit in it. And she's like, ah, it's okay. By the time you get back, it'll be four hours. I was like, it will be, but I'll go sit in it. So I thought about. I thought that we were going to. And I like in n out. I actually really like in and out. I just feel like nothing can live up to the hype of in and out. Right. But it is really good.

Kevin (69:27)

Fair. Yeah, yeah, it's very good. Yeah. I went by and. But they had it like, I mean, dialed in as far as traffic control and these lines and how long it was for people. I saw somebody that I know went to one last night and she said she only waited 30 minutes. I was like, that doesn't seem right.

Bobby Bones (69:42)

It looks a lot more daunting than I think it probably is because sometimes you'll see the chick fil a and you're like, man, it's out on the.

Eddie (69:48)

Road and you're in and out, but.

Bobby Bones (69:49)

If you actually get into it, it's like 12 minutes.

Kevin (69:51)

Yeah, they have it dialed and they are like chick fil.

Bobby Bones (69:53)

They.

Kevin (69:53)

They do move fast. In and out.

Bobby Bones (69:55)

I see. I saw they stopped doing order 67 though. I saw that they did. They go 66 to 68. Because everybody just waits for them to go. 6, 7. And they just go right.

Brandon (70:04)

Yeah. Can't do it.

Eddie (70:05)

That's funny, though.

Bobby Bones (70:06)

Eddie, anything on your mind before we go?

Eddie (70:08)

Oh, I was going to talk about when Whataburger opened here. I remember the same thing. They had people wrapped around the building. The. The line of cars is ridiculous. But I went anyway. And I walk in the restaurant, and there was no one inside ordering. I got my food in five minutes.

Bobby Bones (70:23)

How'd you park, though?

Eddie (70:24)

I just parked. It was by food spots, just by a Lowe's. So I parked at Lowe's and walked over.

Kevin (70:28)

They had people parking across the street from In N Out yesterday to walk in, and there was like 100 people outside. It was just. It was fun to see, but I was like, yeah, I'm good. I'll come back next week.

Bobby Bones (70:37)

Brandon, anything on your mind, man?

Brandon (70:38)

I just hope you guys have a merry Christmas.

Bobby Bones (70:40)

Oh, thank you, Brandon.

Kevin (70:41)

You know.

Eddie (70:41)

You know what Brandon said earlier today? He saw me and Kevin, and he was just like, man, you guys are in a. Or was me and Mike. He's like, you guys are in a good mood today.

Bobby Bones (70:48)

Oh, good. I thought it was Rachel Slur.

Eddie (70:49)

No, no, no, it wasn't.

Bobby Bones (70:50)

Oh, my God.

Kevin (70:51)

Like, all the ice on us.

Bobby Bones (70:52)

No. Oh, no, no. Did you hear what he said?

Eddie (70:56)

Y did.

Bobby Bones (70:57)

Yeah.

Eddie (70:58)

He didn't do that.

Bobby Bones (70:59)

Did you?

Brandon (71:00)

Not that, you know, no comment.

Eddie (71:02)

But then Brandon's just like, oh, no. You guys are a good man. Like, are we not ever in a good movie? He's like, not really.

Kevin (71:07)

No, not really.

Bobby Bones (71:08)

A lot of times I think you come in and we're tired. Oh, yeah. From the day.

Brandon (71:11)

And that's why I was like, man, you guys.

Bobby Bones (71:14)

Or it's not even tired. It's like we're so focused.

Brandon (71:16)

Oh, yeah.

Bobby Bones (71:17)

Ending that the focus is probably keeping them from being mean. Unlike me. I'm always in a great mood. I'm like, always. I have a plenty of time to, like, take time with people.

Eddie (71:24)

We can't shut you up. Yeah. Yeah. You're talking so much joyful.

Kevin (71:27)

Just carry the mic everywhere you go.

Bobby Bones (71:31)

You guys laughed too long at that one. To be honest. You laughed a little too long at.

Eddie (71:34)

That one because I just pictured you talking to everyone. Hey, guys, I got a joke. I got a joke.

Bobby Bones (71:39)

Yeah. For those that don't know, this is the most efficiently run. I don't want to say radio show because we're doing, like, eight things at once.

Eddie (71:48)

Yes.

Bobby Bones (71:49)

We're doing a radio show live. We're doing podcasts. I'M doing a countdown. I'm doing a night show. We're moving guests in and out to record. We're doing this show. And so if it's not, we're gonna be here 17 hours.

Eddie (71:59)

It really is no time wasted.

Bobby Bones (72:01)

When Eddie had to go to the bathroom a minute ago, I didn't. I never tell people they can't go to the bathroom, for the record, but I will purposefully have a couple breaks. I'm like, guys, you should go to the bathroom. Because if not, I'll just keep going. And I purposefully don't drink a lot of water in the morning so I never have to get out of my chair to pee. So Eddie goes, hey, man, I'm gonna go pee, but I'll be fast. And I won't even wash my hands. They take off right now.

Eddie (72:24)

I was joking. But yeah. So you got the idea.

Kevin (72:26)

So you did wash them.

Bobby Bones (72:27)

I didn't watch.

Kevin (72:27)

Okay, good.

Bobby Bones (72:29)

All right, thank you, guys. We got a game tonight. A big game tonight.

Pandora Jewelry Announcer (72:33)

Right?

Bobby Bones (72:35)

We in our money league need the bucks to win bad. We are down a lot of money.

Eddie (72:38)

We got the Falcons.

Bobby Bones (72:39)

Yeah. Yeah.

Kevin (72:40)

It's not as much as I thought.

Bobby Bones (72:41)

Isn't it like 1600 15.

Kevin (72:43)

Okay, but I'm just saying, like, last week it was a thousand. And the weekend that we had last weekend, I felt like it was gonna be in the twos.

Bobby Bones (72:52)

Here's what I'm gonna say, though. It's not ugly. It's ugly now, and it could get uglier. But if you don't get teams to the playoffs, it gets really ugly. I know.

Eddie (73:00)

You just sit there and watch.

Bobby Bones (73:01)

You have to win. You can just. You can just figure out how much money is going to be by looking at the bracket because there's no way to stop the money you're losing.

Eddie (73:08)

And it goes all the way to the Super Bowl.

Bobby Bones (73:09)

All the way to the Super Bowl.

Kevin (73:10)

Includes the Super Bowl. I will.

Brandon (73:12)

I'm going to put the GoFundMe link.

Bobby Bones (73:14)

Thank you.

Brandon (73:15)

In the clips.

Eddie (73:16)

But this is why we want the Cowboys to win the super bowl, because no one picked the Cowboys to win.

Bobby Bones (73:21)

I was talking about the Chiefs earlier, and it's like, I care more about the Cowboys. And I'm like, I hear you. But he was like, I don't care about the Chiefs.

Kevin (73:27)

What about the Patriots? We have money invested.

Eddie (73:29)

It's just money, boys. Comes and goes.

Bobby Bones (73:31)

Okay, I'm glad you said that.

Kevin (73:33)

Save that clip.

Bobby Bones (73:34)

I'm glad you said that. We are down 1500 there. Chandler. Scott Chandler played for The Bills in the league, he's down 4, 500 bucks.

Kevin (73:43)

Wow. And they were the big winners last year.

Bobby Bones (73:45)

Yeah, they won. I. I think I was second. I made a good living last. Last time, but it's just. It's a crapshoot. You.

Eddie (73:53)

So last year you made a good living.

Bobby Bones (73:55)

Yeah.

Eddie (73:55)

This year when you included us, if.

Bobby Bones (73:57)

We had the Packers. Yeah.

Kevin (73:58)

We'd be in good shape.

Bobby Bones (73:59)

In good shape.

Eddie (74:00)

We don't know that yet.

Kevin (74:02)

Well, we do because they've won.

Bobby Bones (74:03)

Stell's team is up 3, 900. Matt sales team, they're up 3900. There's another. Yeah.

Eddie (74:12)

I mean, we're not going to be playing the guys. If we would have picked that because we can do it many different ways. So we're not playing that game. So.

Bobby Bones (74:20)

Sure. We can also say if I didn't pick the Patriots.

Eddie (74:22)

Yeah. Or the Chiefs.

Bobby Bones (74:24)

Right.

Eddie (74:24)

It'd be different.

Bobby Bones (74:24)

Yeah.

Eddie (74:25)

But we're not playing that game. It's okay. It is what it is.

Bobby Bones (74:27)

But the difference is I said, hey, dude, we should go with the Packers. And you're like, no, we should go with the Bengals. Like, you, You. You argued and you won, and you would have got the credit. And I said this at the beginning. If the Bengals end up making us a bunch of money, I will go say, thank God you saved us, because I would have made the terrible decision.

Eddie (74:42)

If you picking the packers, that's not on the horizon.

Bobby Bones (74:43)

That's not on the horizon. So that's what's up. So root for us. We need some wins from the Bucks, the Patriots, the Bengals. The Bengals, the Chiefs.

Eddie (74:52)

That's it.

Bobby Bones (74:52)

And, well, yeah, those four teams, please, all win. Eddie, blow the whistle. We will see you guys next week. Bye, everybody. Theme song written by Bobby Bones. That's me. And performed by Brandon.
