The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show. By the way, the Clippers and the Lakers. The battle of la. So called battle Luca and Lebron and Austin reeves combined for 99 points as the Lakers beat the Clippers. LA's won five in a row. Eleven of their last 13 Lucas scores 20 in the first eight minutes, 32 at halftime. Finished with 43 with 13 assists, nine rebounds. LeBron added 25 and Reeves had 31 and nine rebounds. James Harden had 29 for the Clippers, who have lost 11 of 13. I've talked about the pace that some players play at and Luca very similar to when Kawhi was playing at a high ler. High level. So Kawhi, it almost like the game came to him, slowed to his pace, and Luca does that as well. But Luca at 6, 8, and, you know, guys who guard him talk about his strength, that he loves to use your body against his. He'll. He'll find the separation. He doesn't move fast, he doesn't move quick, but he moves with purpose. And sometimes you can see guys who are, you know, fast, quick, and they're moving all over the place, but it takes them a long longer time to get to where they need to get to. LeBron, you know, knows where he's supposed to go. He can be efficient. Certain players, they're efficient with. I need to get there. Joker is that way. I'm not fast, I'm not quick, but I need to get to there. And then when I get to there, then you have to play to my strengths. And that's what Luca does. And it's very like you're watching and you're going to, how's he doing this? And it reminds me of the guy when you go to the local YMCA and you got the guy that you don't think is a player, but you got to have a guy that's going to be able to be the 10th guy, and you go, all right, I'll take him. Well, that's the guy who probably played Ivy League basketball, and he's 10, 15 years older than everybody else, but he moves at his pace and seems to find if I get there, I'm going to take advantage of you. And that's what you get with Luca. I mean, I'm still amazed because Joker is seven feet tall, and his shot, you know, he probably shoots it. You know, he's eight and a half feet tall when he's shooting that. Luca, you're still watching and you're going, how can somebody not lock that down? You know, when you get the guy who's a counterpuncher, and that's exactly what he is, that you're going to get a guy, you know, who's going to be younger on you, more athletic on you, but it just feels like understanding the science of the game, and it's A lost art really, because I think we get caught up in. Man, you see that guy jump. Yeah, but he can't shoot or you know, maybe doesn't understand angles and basketball is all about angles. But I, I do fall in love with that. When you see certain players, you know, Tim Duncan couldn't jump, wasn't the fastest, quickest guy, but he got to points on the basketball floor and then it was to his strength. And that's the amazing part of some of these players that we keep going, well, that guy's got to be good. Look how athletic he is. Or he can jump out of the gym. I mean Mac McClung can't play in the NBA. He can dunk. We got athleticism, but getting from point A to point B and Stephen Curry's the same way. When we were in Tahoe and I stand next to Steph, I'm eye to eye to Steph Curry and we probably weigh around the same. Maybe I may weigh a little more, but in a similar shot. Oh, but I mean the list goes on and on. You know what I mean? But you're thinking, how does that guy do what he does? It's understanding what you do well and what somebody doesn't do well. My, my goal every time down the floor is to put you in a position that you don't want to be in. And your goal is to put me in a position that you want to put me in. I always loved it when you know, you play against a left handed guy and then you are going to force him to go to his right. Now we don't do that to a right handed player necessarily. But that left handed guy, somehow he has no idea how to go to his right. And I'm going, I think we're past that profiling here. Left handed guy, he has no idea how to use that right hand. Right handed guy, of course he can go to his left. Yeah.

A (9:36)

Paulie, you can make the case that the top three players in the NBA are Jokic, SGA and Luca. Right now if you're saying the top three guys, there's a couple others, but they all play with measured, controlled place pace and they're not explosive guys. They meander around the court, they find their spots. They have very similar games, different sizes.

B (9:56)

Yeah, you watch sga and he is efficient, you know, mid range jumper, that ability to get to the hoop. He's not a deep shooter but, but it's, he, he brings the game, the game slows to his pace. Yes.

A (10:13)

Marvin, there's a guy that I Compare Luca to. Maybe not in the way they play, but body type, and they can get their shot off.

B (10:20)

Paul Pierce. Yeah.

A (10:22)

Not really athletic.

B (10:23)

Yeah.

A (10:24)

Besides Kevin Durant, the only other person that I saw that gave LeBron the most problems was Paul Pierce. Paul Pierce got his shot off whenever he wanted to against whoever.

B (10:34)

Yeah.

A (10:35)

It didn't even matter. And, you know, LeBron's the most athletic guy the NBA's probably ever seen matter. He got to his spot and he got his shot off.

B (10:43)

It is fascinating when you watch these guys. And because I'm watching, I watched Seton hall against USC last night, and that was a good game. That's a good game. Yeah. Good game. USC was down most of the game, and Seton hall played really hard, but you're watching the both ends of the court, you're like, damn, these guys are athletic as hell and flying all over the place. I mean, but then you go to the NBA and you'll see these guys who slow the game down, and, you know, you're going up for a shot and they're flying by, and you. You take your jumper there, just finding a way, like, figuring it out. And then once you do, once you unlock that, because every year you got to add great, great offensive players. You're always adding, what am I going to do? You know, Jordan said, I'm going to go down low. I'm not going to go to the hoop. I'm going to post you up. Everybody has magic, learned how to shoot, you know, his kind of set shot there become. Became a better shooter. You all have to add because the defense is always going, okay, oh, my God, you. You just added that. It's like a pitcher who adds. Like, if Paul Skeens adds another pitch, you're going to be like, damn. You know, we thought we caught up. At least we understood what to expect. You know, Clayton Kershaw, when he added another pit, you know, those kind of things, that's the great players do. You get to a certain point now is when the game really starts. But watching Luca and Luca in shape, he's going to put up. He'll probably have another one of those 60, 20 games that he had a couple of years ago. Yes. He's just. Luke is just baffling to watch. He really is. Because you just don't understand, why is this working? So now I know. I know not and not in. Like, I know that that sounds negative, but it's just kind of like, looking like, how is this dude doing that? Like, he could. It feels like he could play this exact Same style of game until he's 55. Yes. Still be effective. Well, that's what I've said about Joker. It's not like he's slowing down because he's slow. It's not like he's not gonna be able to jump. He can't jump. So what's it going to be? It'll be just motivation. Does he want to continue to play? And he's one of those guys where somebody will say, hey, did you hear about Joker? What? Yeah, he's done. And I don't think anybody's going to be surprised. You'll be like, all right, well, you played as long. Longer. I thought he would. Yeah. Paulie.

A (13:09)

I wonder if the style of these guys like SGA and the slow paced.

B (13:12)

Will trickle down to the youth level.

A (13:15)

Because I can't imagine a, a 15 year old going, I'm going to meander around the court and work my way into pockets like sga. I don't know if that would be allowed or they'd have the wherewithal to do it.

B (13:26)

Nobody can be like Joker. Like that's. We always go, oh, that guy's the next Larry Bird. No, no, there's no next Larry Bird. Oh, he's the next man. There's no next Magic, there's no next Michael. These guys have all created something unique. And I can't imagine somebody going, I'm going to slow things down a little bit here. Luke is playing how he has to play. This isn't, you know, hey, premeditated. I'm going to slow it. I mean, this is how he play Joker. This is how he plays sga. This is how they play. I don't think they play to disrupt you because you're going fast at frenetic pace. But just watching scores, you know, like Iverson, you know, it's just fascinating to be able to watch that, watch Steve Nash play. And you're like, how does it. That doesn't make any sense there. You know, what Dirk Nowitzki was doing, that wasn't done before that. You know, you're just, you're seeing. And that's what makes basketball so great, is there's not one style, you know, with quarterbacks. It used to be you got to be 6, 5 and you got to have a, you know, a gun. You know, I gotta be able to throw it 80 yards. No, you don't. And basketball's the same way. It's all shapes and sizes and how somebody gets it done. And how WES Unsell was 6, 7 and he was a center and a former MVP. 6, 7. Moses Malone couldn't jump one of the greatest rebounders of all time. I mean, basketball's littered with guys where you go, huh? And Luca Joker, sga. That's just another wave coming in of, huh? How did they do it? Yeah, Marvin.

A (15:09)

Yeah, it's crazy. Good basketball players be good athletes. The NBA draft is the most fascinating thing to me because you'll get a guy that averaged eight points at Arizona and he's drafted fourth overall. I'm like, wait. But this guy averaged 25 at wherever and he's undrafted.

B (15:25)

Dan in LA. Hi, Dan. What's on your mind today? Hey, Danny, can you. Can you hear me now? Now I got you.

A (15:32)

All right, well, I want to say.

B (15:35)

Happy thankful Meat Wednesday. Kind of on the back of Buddha. Hopefully the Traegers in the middle, lighter at the proper temperature.

A (15:43)

So I had a burning question from the other week when I was watching.

B (15:46)

Clooney on the talk show Kimmel, he was talking about working with Sandler and his jump shot in his game.

A (15:53)

And I was like, I wonder what Danny would think. Who has the best jump shot between the three of you? Clooney.

B (15:59)

Sandler.

A (16:00)

Are you?

B (16:00)

Because I've seen Clooney in person hit.

A (16:02)

Like, you know, 70 footer off of a truck bed, and I'm like, that dude can shoot.

B (16:08)

Who's the best shooter there? Well, the fact that George Clooney went to the same church that I went to growing up, he probably was there praying to have a shot like mine. I'm guessing my shot is definitely better than Sandler. George has a nice shot. A nice shot. Is it better? No, it's not better than mine, but. But he said he was a good athlete. Played baseball, high school. I think he went to the Reds tryout. He might have been at the Reds tryout that I went to. They had, you know, all these people from around the state. He was in Kentucky. And you go there and you have this big, massive tryout and they cut people, and then they cut people and they cut people. But George, good athlete. Good athlete. Yeah. Paul Sandler's a good pickup ball player. He'll get you the ball down low. He does the pick and roll. He has a nice little hip hop.

A (17:01)

Move that he has, and he just kind of puts it up from 10ft.

B (17:03)

He's a good passer. Sandman is a willing passer. He's not a good shooter, but he's. He's kind of gritty and gutty. Yes, Marv, you hate his dribbling. Yes, I do. Because he carries the ball.

A (17:14)

Yes, he does.

B (17:15)

Yeah. But he will play pickup anywhere in a Hawaiian shirt, anywhere. When I was taking him to dinner a few weeks back, and he said, danny, I'm gonna play a pickup game and I'll meet you at the restaurant. I said, okay. I mean, it's kind of a nice restaurant. All right, Danny. So he's got his Hawaiian shirt on. He's playing a pickup game. He's the only white guy out there. And, you know, Sandman is trying to hold it. I mean, these guys are probably 25 years younger than him, but Sandman hangs in there. He loves it. And he'll bang around with you. And then, of course, he gets done playing, like three games, comes in with his Hawaiian shirt on, these baggy shorts, his tennis shoes, and he's just played three pickup games. And so he said, danny, did I overdress? I said, yeah, yeah, you overdressed, Sandman. You overdressed. All right, poll question for the second hour of the program. Then we'll get to Mike Golik Jr. Set to join us. Seaton. Yeah, we got a couple up to start the show. Okay, who do you want to win, the Cowboys or the Chiefs? Right now, The Cowboys have 57% of that vote. That's a wild statement on the Chiefs. Okay, which Thanksgiving menu do you prefer, the original or a more modern menu? This is crazy, because right now 50.6% of the audience have the original menu. Wow. Which seems crazy to me. There's eel is on there. Anyway, we also put up a sort of a March Madness bracket style tournament of Thanksgiving sides right now. Stuffing leading the way with about 40% of that vote. Yeah, I'll give it another shot. I'll try. You know, cranberry. I don't know if we have cranberries. Cranberries. You only have it one time. You have it at Thanksgiving. I don't think you ever have cranberry any other time, but hopefully you guys come around to this feast that we're going to have. That is from 1621. Marvin.

A (19:23)

I'm not big on 1621 in general.

B (19:25)

But I guess I'll be there. Probably a few different demographics. Might not be big on the 16 for sure. Yeah, Pilgrims are big on it, though. Yeah, they are. That Johnson, they didn't really care. That John Smith guy, they made out like bandits. Yeah. Yeah, they did. They did. All right, we'll take a break here. Back after this Dan Patrick Show.

Mike Golick Jr. Co host of Golic and Golic on FanDuel Sports Network, former Notre Dame offensive lineman and back on the program. Great to see you, buddy. Give me the most must win game of the weekend for you.

A (23:59)

Oh, the most college or pro? What do you want?

B (24:01)

Either one. The most must win is who I.

A (24:05)

Would say the most must win this weekend to me feels like the the game for Ryan Day, like Ohio State's accomplished a lot. This team would still be in the playoff even with a loss, but considering the recent run they've been on and everything else that's finally mounted in his favor, this is kind of the last remaining box to check. And it's it's strange because this year I feel so much better about Ohio State, provided their best wide receivers are healthy. Even though last year going into this game they were favored by more. It was a far worse Michigan team than the one they're going against this year. But I just think the matchup in a bunch of the key areas, specifically Ohio State's defense and what Matt Patricia has done versus a freshman quarterback for Michigan, even at home where he's been better this season, it feels like a tough one. So I think if you're Ryan Day, hey, you've got the fan base back on your side after the run you went on last year. If you really want to stamp your place now in the lore of this rivalry and at the helm of this team. I think you got to win this weekend.

B (25:04)

You imagine if Michigan won?

A (25:06)

Oh, it's. I mean, and the thing is we went through this last year where people were legitimately. It felt like around Columbus starting to talk about Ryan Day's job in a way that feels insane for all the rest of us that see what Ohio State has, what he's accomplished. But you understand those games mean more and those pain points in these rivalry series are always tough to come by. So, yeah, I don't know what it would do.

B (25:30)

He's.

A (25:30)

They're not going to do any of that because he won the championship and still could this year. But it just would make things really awkward at the Thanksgiving dinner table this year and next year if it happened.

B (25:39)

Now you, of course, were an offensive lineman at Notre Dame and probably, you know, keep an eye on Notre Dame far more than most of us. But I'm wondering, wondering if the style of running the football to a national title, can they do that?

A (25:55)

I think they can and I think doing that is easier because you also have a quarterback that's now been able to stretch the field in a way that's different. Like last year. Dan, looking at Notre Dame when Riley Lennon was the quarterback, that was a. Hey, there are no frills and no questions about how we're going to do this. We're going to hand the ball off a bunch to these running backs. Our quarterback, when we get into fourth and one is going to be a human battering ram and he is even going to erase the edges. I think back to the Georgia game last year in the CFP run for Notre Dame where Riley Leonard gets to the perimeter and against SEC caliber, NFL caliber athletes like Jalen Walker, who is going to go on against the Falcons, he's erasing the edge against them and finding the perimeter. So that team was there were I said it was masters of the obvious Last year for Notre Dame and everything they did this year, there's a little bit more sleight of hand because CJ Cars come in and stretch the field for this team. The explosive play rate, their ability to hit downfield with players like Malachi Fields, the transfer wide receiver from Virginia, I think have put defenses in a conundrum and look no further than what USC decided to do against Notre Dame when it came to South Bend. Notre Dame with two prolific running backs, runners up for the Heisman right now and USC said, we would rather not have your passing attack beat us. So we're going to put Two safeties deep. We're going to play back and try and take away the passing attack. And as a result, Notre Dame handed off the ball over and over again and broke their will in that game because USC had to do the math problem and ended up guessing wrong. And that's the ability Notre Dame has this year that makes it different. But the engine that still makes it all go is Jeremiah Love. And I absolutely think he's a great enough player for them to ride to a title.

B (27:35)

If Lane Kiffin would answer the question, what question would you ask?

A (27:41)

Hey, what are we doing here, bud? Like, I think outside of, you know what, Dan, the obvious of what are we doing is, why now? Like, why would you force the issue on this now? And are. Is he at the helm of that? Because we've seen plenty of instances of coaches that we knew were kind of rumored for these certain things play out what they've got going on. And the way that this is all played out really publicly with Ole Miss, to me, I always feel worse for the players. Like, what a disservice to the players on this team right now. Everything that's happened with this situation, whether it's the Ole Miss brass that forced the ultimatum, whether it was just too much to bear internally. You got a team that's in the top 10 of college football that we haven't talked about on the field and God knows how long, because we're all wondering if their coach is even going to be with them after the rivalry game this weekend. So I just wonder, especially with the opportunity ahead of them in a college football world that's infinitely more accessible in terms of who can win the title. You had one of those teams, and now it seems like everyone involved might be willing to. To walk away from the table and let that team go into the playoff with an interim head coach or a head coach that knows he's going to be gone to greener pastures. The whole situation, it just is bizarre. And I feel bad for the players who have put so much into the season and have had that certainly upended by this, but could potentially be even more upended after this weekend.

B (29:02)

Yeah. And I wonder if it comes out if he tells the team prior to that he's leaving. I would say put it on the players to vote if they want Lane Kiffin to be their coach after this for the playoffs, even though, you know, I. The committee may ding them if Lane Kiffin is not their head coach. And.

A (29:20)

Yeah, yeah, sorry. Sorry about that, Dan.

B (29:23)

I.

A (29:23)

But no, I saw that point made and I. I don't know. We've seen the committee ding teams for interesting things, but I do think that's the right approach. It should be on the players, if it comes down to that decision and if they're comfortable enough with that and say, hey, you still give us the best chance to win this season, especially considering a bunch of those players could follow him if he goes. This is the day and age in college football we live in, where you can pluck the core of your roster and help reset the foundation elsewhere. There might be a little bit less, oh, you're leaving us here, than there used to be. And so maybe with some of that mercenary mindset, these guys could be more comfortable with that the most.

B (29:59)

We're talking to Mike Golick Jr. Co host of Golic and Golic on FanDuel Sports Network. Yeah, just trying to figure this out of these. How did we get to the point where you're. Somebody's talking to somebody about your next job during a season? I. I know what happens, but why did it have to happen this way? Why couldn't this wait until the end of the season or at least when you get into, you know, the playoff? Like, I don't know, it just. It feels like coaches don't want distractions, but the coaches created the distraction, and that's what, you know. There has to be a better way to do this, Mike.

A (30:37)

There does. I think all of it, to me, just boils down to, like, the pressure. Now, don't get me wrong, like, some of the way that this has been framed around Lane Kiffin, like, he's got a role in this, too. This is not just something that's happening to him. So I don't want to use this as, like, a way to make him a victim of circumstance that he is, at least in part, helped create. But I do think this all stems from the pressure to win. Now, in college, that leads to the massive bias that we've seen, because all these coaches understand, hey, especially in this day and age when you can come in and overhaul a roster in one year with the portal, I got to come in and show you results now. Because if not in two or three years, these places you wind up like Brian Kelly, having to fight for your buyout with the school that's trying to go back and fire you for cause, for ways that don't make sense. And so what does that mean? I have to get in? Because the transfer portal window did used to open during the playoffs in December and now open in January. So we've got to get a head start on that class, I've got to get a head start on recruiting the next group of guys. They're going to be in high school and just get the things going here at a time where we've created more postseason than ever before. So it's going to affect more games when you pull out and do that. And so I think all of that, that urgency of, hey, if I'm going to take this next big opportunity, forever's got to start tonight. Like we've got to get going on this now because if we don't, we're already behind this ever churning machine. And if you fall behind too far now all of a sudden you're the guy with the massive buyout getting ready to go on college game day.

B (32:05)

Help me understand this. I know we want to protect the NFL players. We've changed the kickoff rule. Do we not want to protect the college players? Why don't we have the same kickoff formation in college as we do in the NFL?

A (32:18)

Dan, it's a great question and I have no idea. College in so many ways is resistant to doing things anywhere close to the NFL level. Like weird little bits of minute details. And I'd agree. Now maybe the people at large in college, although it's not like you've got an NFL PA in college that can commission studies and the NFL Central body, like no one runs this in college football and so no one, maybe the conference heads can do it within the Big ten of the SEC or the acc, but like there's no one here that's going to amass the data that cares enough about it to then try and get it implemented across the whole sport. Like this is part of the difficulty in college football of having no one in charge of anything that's going on. Because you're right. If that the highest level of football is something they felt was necessary in one of the most violent plays of the sport, then yeah, it would to me make an overwhelming amount of sense for player safety reasons, for continuity reasons, for these guys going to the next level. Like your job's to win games in college. But I do think if you can do it in such a way that helps prepare guys for the biggest job interview of their life, hey, that's probably not a bad deal either overall structurally. So your guess is good as mine.

B (33:31)

At your peak, could you take down a turkey dinner?

A (33:35)

Oh yeah, absolutely. I, at my, at my peak, I was a bottomless pit. I was a bunch of raccoons in a trench coat, not just one. So yeah, no I was. I was about that life.

B (33:46)

But then you got your dad and your brother Jake is even bigger than ever, you guys. Yeah.

A (33:52)

It was a competition for resources at the table every year in the Golic family Thanksgiving, like, there was no for manners or decorum. You just had to get in there and get what you thought was yours, establish dominance at the table, or else you were going to be sitting there with a plate that was lacking around everybody else who was enjoying themselves. So I like to think that was where the competitive fire was born. Not on any athletic field, but just having to scrap it out for food at home.

B (34:20)

Happy Thanksgiving. Good to talk to you. Thank you, Mike.

A (34:23)

Happy Thanksgiving, Dan. Appreciate it.

B (34:24)

That's Mike Golick Jr. Co host of Golic and Golick on FanDuel Sports Network. Couple of phone calls in here. Let's see Jay in Delaware. Good morning, Jay. What's on your mind today?

A (34:37)

Hey, good morning, Dan. Dan, say Happy Thanksgiving, and I hope you guys have the best holiday with your families. And like all of your callers, I'm very thankful to listen to you guys every morning. Real quickly, I think the MVDPC most valuable Dan Patrick caller over the weekend last weekend had to be Pandora. Her rendition last weekend was way better than what you guys have recorded. Fritzi, the way he talked about those curtains, I would hate to see that.

B (35:08)

Room under a black light.

A (35:09)

This week and for the games tomorrow, then I want chaos. I want the Cowboys to win, I want the Bengals to win, and I want the Lions to win mainly just for their fans because they haven't won very much on their premier Thanksgiving game. So that's it, Dan. I hope you guys have a great holiday.

B (35:29)

Thank you, Jay. Thank you. I mentioned in the first hour, I spent a couple hours last night on the phone talking to a couple of college football sources. And I was saying, what went wrong with Brian Kelly at lsu? And one of my sources said he doesn't recruit. Like, he's not a touchy feely, hey, I want to be there. He's just not that guy. And he spent a lot of time golfing, spent a lot of time in Florida golfing. And I thought, wait, he wanted to win a national championship? He wanted to go to LSU because he couldn't win a national title at Notre Dame. And my source said he just seemed disconnected from the kids. He doesn't. He's not a big recruiter. I don't think anybody likes recruiting. But it felt like he was maybe not all in at lsu, which is what's really surprising. And I don't know if they try to come up with cause to not pay him all of his money. And Brian Kelly's come out and said they're trying to sabotage him and I don't know any information about that, but he just didn't seem like he was all in on that job. And then I asked one of my sources, I said, hey, you got Chip Kelly, who just got fired at Las Vegas, the Raiders. Can you see him getting back into college football? And one of my sources said if Brian Hartline, who's the offensive coordinator at Ohio State, leaves for a job, then maybe Chip Kelly goes back to his old job at Ohio State.

Who had the best week in sports and we will slide into the weekend. Nothing like Kings Hawaiian Slider Sunday enjoying the NFL games with family and friends and you have my permission to do a slider Sunday on Thursday with Kings Hawaiian Kings hawaiian.com you start to look at the matchups this weekend. It feels like there's so much attention on Ole Misses and Mississippi State because Elaine Kiffin that at Ohio State in Michigan is an oh, by the way, Ohio State is favored by 10 at Michigan. Now you start to look at some of the other matchups. Now Ole Miss is favored by seven at Mississippi State, Oregon and Washington is sneaky for me because it's at Washington. Oregon just had the big win against USC. They're favored by six and a half. UCLA, USC. UCLA is getting 22 and a half. I did ask about who's going to get that UCLA job and one of my sources said it will be a coach who has been a head coach. And I said okay, it's not going to be an assistant coach. They're not going to do a Desean Foster hiring again. But USC is giving 22 and a half. I don't think there's anything Else big game wise at least. College NFL. You certainly have the packers and the Lions and that could be the which one of you is a real contender? The Chiefs and the Cowboys is obviously great. The Bengals and the Ravens. The Bengals are getting seven but Bengals got the Ravens twice here in the next few weeks. The Texans at the Colts. Texans are playing well and and this is with David Mills Davis Mills in there but they're getting four and a half at the Colts. The Browns. The Browns are only five and a half point underdogs at home against the 49ers. And Shador Sanders another week now he's playing at home trying to think if there's anything else that really stands out here. The Bills at the Steelers. The Bills are favored by 3 1/2 at Pittsburgh. I'm guessing Rogers is going to play. The Broncos are favored by six and a half at the Commanders. That'll be Sunday night. But you start to look at some of these games. The Vikings, they're ten and a half point underdogs at the Seahawks, Jags and the Titans. Like this might be one of those games the Jags lose against the Titans at the Titans because there's always going to be one or two of those games with a team where you go I can't believe they did that. Whether it's good or bad, that might be one of those games with the Titans against the Jags. Rams -10 against the Panthers. Panthers are six and six. That's you know, they've overachieved this year and maybe they're a year ahead of schedule there. They still have a Bryce Young conversation here. I like him. I just don't know. You know is, is he a right handed to a. So I don't know. I don't know what Now I did throw for like 450 yards a couple of weeks ago and look, I go back to when we met him at the super bowl in New Orleans. Like you just a nice kid came in with a backpack and you know you're like he just looked like the school bus dropped him off. Sliding into the weekend, there's nothing like kings. Hawaiian slider Sunday enjoy the NFL games with family and friends, a watch party or tailgate special and pick up a pack of Kings Hawaiian this weekend. Who had the best week in sports? Dylan, I'll start with you. The best week in sports turned in by I'm gonna go with the Dallas Cowboys. Dan erasing a 21 nothing deficit to.

A (44:28)

Beat their arch rival Eagles. And transitively anyone who live bet on.

B (44:32)

The Cowboys when they're down 21, nothing. Also a great week. Did you? I did not. Okay. Of course, because then you would have won. That would have been a smart bet. The gambling podcast. We will tape that after the show with Dylan, Shea and Irving. And of course, bad Larry Seaton. Best week in sports. For me, best week in sports has been Lane Kiffin. I thought he's actually handled all this really well. And these are situations that can get pretty sticky. Dude's about to get handed a massive bag of cash no matter where he goes. He's played this part of his career, I think, very well. Marvin.

A (45:07)

Oregon football. They beat USC over the weekend, and then they jumped Ole Miss in the CFP rankings.

B (45:13)

All right. Yeah. Sixth. Paulie. Best week in sports.

A (45:16)

I'll go with Matthew Stafford.

B (45:18)

He's almost 38 years old, and it's.

A (45:20)

His MVP to lose. Thirty touchdowns, two picks.

B (45:23)

And if you look at the rest of the Rams schedule, Panthers, Cardinals, Lions.

A (45:28)

Seahawks, Falcons, Cardinals again, he could add a lot more stats.

B (45:33)

It's his, more importantly, getting home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Michelle in Illinois. Hi, Michelle. What's on your mind today?

A (45:43)

Well, I have a question for you guys. So my husband is having a medical procedure the day after Thanksgiving.

B (45:51)

So not surgery. It's a procedure.

A (45:54)

He's having, like, an MRI on certain parts of the body where he has to do a bunch of prep the night before. He can only be on a liquid diet tomorrow. So he's wondering, does he go to the Thanksgiving dinner when he can only drink water and get up early to do the procedure the next day, or.

B (46:18)

Should he just stay home? I would stay home. Who scheduled this, Michelle?

A (46:27)

Well, I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, so he brought this up to me yesterday. I knew the procedure was the next day, but I didn't know he brought all these boxes out of the cabinet, and I got to drink this and do this, and he's like. And I can only drink water.

B (46:43)

And I have to get up at.

A (46:44)

3Am to start prepping.

B (46:45)

Oh, my gosh.

A (46:48)

So what do you guys think?

B (46:49)

That's a sad story. I would let him stay, asking what he wants to do, but I would. I would let him have the opportunity to stay at home and just drink water and pet the dog.

A (47:00)

He brought it up to me, kind of maybe easing into the fact that he's gonna stay home. He just wanted to put it out there to see probably what I would think.

B (47:10)

Yeah, he has my permission to stay home. And thank you, Michelle. Happy Thanksgiving. Renate in Austria.

A (47:23)

Hello?

B (47:24)

Is it Renate? Renate, yes. Oh, okay. And. And you're in Austria? Well, I'm from Austria, but I live in Las Vegas. Oh.

A (47:39)

So for. Yeah, okay. You guys were just here.

B (47:43)

F1 gay. Max Verstappen. Alrighty. Yeah.

A (47:49)

So a lot of people don't know.

B (47:51)

Red Bull is from Austria. So they played the Austrian anthem in Las Vegas again. All right, well, congratulations on Max verstappen. Long time. 160, 54.

A (48:07)

These are European measurements. So it basically equates to 5, 2 and 120.

B (48:18)

But the reason why I'm calling you is about cranberry sauce, because you were saying people only bring out cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving.

A (48:27)

Not in Austria. We have beef rouladen that gets served with cranberry sauce. We have wiener schnitzel that gets served as cranberry sauce. And try this. You get the pear halves in the.

B (48:41)

Can and you chill them.

A (48:42)

You put a dollop of cranberry sauce.

B (48:45)

In it and you eat it with any fried meal.

A (48:48)

It is fantastic.

B (48:50)

Well, thank you and thank you for those suggestions and happy Thanksgiving. Yeah.

A (48:56)

Paulie, you never see a lot of Austrian restaurants around. You know, on a Friday night you.

B (49:00)

Say, hey, let's order some Austrian takeout. You don't see that a lot.

A (49:04)

German restaurants, not Austrian. Not sure the difference.

B (49:07)

Yeah, I was going to say, what is the difference there? Joe in New York. Hi, Joe. Hey, guys.

A (49:13)

Happy Thanksgiving to you.

B (49:14)

Early, I wanted to add to the.

A (49:16)

Stuffing conversation because I'm right there with Seaton. It's kind of my 1A, 1B. Have you ever tried oyster stuffing?

B (49:24)

It's basically a traditional stuffing, but a.

A (49:27)

Dozen or dozen and a half fresh shucked oysters and they just kind of.

B (49:30)

Cook into the stuffing.

A (49:32)

It's a New Englander tradition and it's pretty good stuff.

B (49:36)

Well, thank you, Joe. We're having mussels today, but not oysters today. Is that right, Dylan? Yeah. I thought about oysters, but I realized shucking them intermittently was going to be kind of tough, so I did the smart play. Although I'm out on oyster stuffing. My wife a couple years ago got the oyster shuckers. She thought it would be great. And then I think she stabbed herself in the hand. And then it wasn't great anymore. I said, hunter, just let people do this. Like the people who are really good, just let them do it. It's okay. I've done the same thing a couple Christmas Eves ago. Couple martinis, oyster knife through the hand. Really kind of ruined everything. Yeah. Is that cocktail sauce? No, that's my blood. Final hour on this Wednesday. I went out and inspected the Thanksgiving feast. Looks great. It looks great. And when you think of a Thanksgiving feast, I think of Ross Tucker. He will join us coming up in about a half hour from now. More of your phone calls as well. Dylan's in for Fritzi, Seaton's here. Marvin, Paulie, yours truly. Final hour after this.

A (50:43)

Honestly, honestly, honestly, no one wants to think about hiv, but there are things that everyone can do to help prevent it. Things like prep. PREP stands for pre exposure prophylaxis, and it means routinely taking prescription medicine before you're exposed to HIV to help reduce your chances of getting it. Prep can be about 99% effective when taken as prescribed. It doesn't protect against other STIs, though, so be sure to use condoms and other healthy sex practices. Ask a healthcare provider about all your prevention Options and visit findoutaboutprep.com to learn more. Sponsored by Gilead.
