Hello beautiful people. Happy Thanksgiving Eve and welcome to our humble abode, the Thunder Dome on this wide Wednesday, November 27, 2024. This program starts now. Football. It's amazing. And tomorrow there's a jam packed day of NFL football. Now a lot of people are saying some of the matchups are crop, but we do get Packers, Dolphins as a nightcap and let's enjoy the hell out of that. The Giants and the Cowboys, sure. It's Tommy Cutlets versus Cooper Rush in the middle of your. Thanks. And then the Chicago Bears who have been playing fantastic football as of late, even though every single time they're this close, they lose. Yeah. Yeah. Taking on the dominant Detroit Lions to kick off your beautiful Thanksgiving football festivities. And we can't thank you enough for allowing us to do this for a living. Today should be a fun one. Okay. Obviously J. Watt will be joining us in the next hour. 110 can't wait to chat with the future First Ballot hall of Famer. We also have First Ballot hall of Famer for everything. Joining us in about 14 minutes or so, the goat of college football, Nick Saban will be joining us because obviously we'll be off Thursday and Black Friday due to an NFL game happening. On Netflix. No, on prime on Friday. So Nick Saban instead of joining us on Friday, he'll be joining us today and it's a perfect day for him to be joining us because the new College Football Playoff rankings are out. And I'll tell you what, Heather Dennis was basically spot on with everything that was going to happen. And the thing that made us most pissed whenever we saw this was that two SEC teams playing and that two Big Ten teams playing. We don't need that now. SMU coming up from Dallas to play in Indiana would certainly be a beautiful thing to witness. And Arizona State obviously activate the Valley, Beautiful. Phoenix having to come play in Columbus is something. But the big conversation about all of this is SEC versus Big Ten. And the SEC folks have been saying why don't you come down here and try to win in these atmospheres. And Big Ten people haven't been saying for long enough but they're certainly going to start saying it now. Why don't you come up here to the cold ass weather and play your style of football? Big Ten football is a certain style. You know why? Because in December, November and January it's cold as shit. Yeah, sometimes you're not going to be able to feel your hands and you're going to be able to throw the ball over the yard. But you know what you'll be able to do, hand that thing off. And big bodies move big bodies and running backs move the rock. So we got a clash of styles, a clash of environments, a clash attitudes that aren't going to happen in this particular College Football playoff ranking bracket. But what will it be when it actually matters in a few weeks? We'll talk to Coach Saban after the chaotic SEC Saturday here in a matter of moments. And then Michael Lombardi, who normally comes on on Thursdays, will join us at the end of this particular hour. We'll obviously be making all of our picks for the NFL slate this weekend. And also our Ram Truck segment will happen today. And we got some good contenders that are taking on Mount Boom. Actually, my equipment manager, you know who, we all saw it out there at Berkeley. What an absolute dog. Toxic tables here at Boston, Connor and at Ty Schmidt. Let's talk about the tarps boys. IMG Academy. Sweet hoodie there, Tash. Yeah, not bad. And it's, you know, it's, it's a very nice hoodie, too. It's not one of these, you know, high school, obviously, IMG Academy, you know, big swinging dongs. So it's, it's a very nice sweatshirt, very comfortable. It's not kind of just your run of the mill, crappy high school, you know, sweatshirt. I'm not going to throw any brands under the bus, but this thing is very comfortable. I saw it this morning. I said, you know what, what the hell has sent us some gifts because we chit chatted about a few of their games. And also I believe the head football coach there has created like a top 10 pick in like the last eight drafts or whatever. So. IMG Academy is a wagon. Very expensive. Very, very. They got a lot of money to pay for those. Yeah, exactly. Very expensive. Very everything. Like. And let's go to the Boston Bruins tarp here. That looks like a special jersey there, not the basic Bruin tarp. What do we have there? Yeah, this is the jersey for this Sunday, the centennial game. I'd say you guys know what that is, but you don't because your hockey clubs haven't been around. The Boston Bruins played their first game December 1, 1924, 100 years ago. And so they'll be wearing these commemorative jerseys. They're beautiful tarps. Absolutely beautiful. Basically made for glory once again, something you guys probably don't know much about. Sako and the boys have been hot 2 and 1. When did they lose? Tough one last night. Again, they are still hot 2 and 1 in their last three since Sako took over. Going to have to figure out how to sauce the puck into that net. But, yeah, these jerseys that will be worn on Sunday are fantastic. They got, you know, the score from the first game ever, the Boston Bruins beat the Montreal Maroons 2 to 1. Of course, before they were the happy taunts, the Canadians. And they got some other cool little stuff on the bottom, like toughness, resiliency. I actually forget the exact goal scoring toughness. Shut out last night in the loss. Yeah, yeah, it was tough. Shout out. Tradition, grit, passion in heart. Of course, that's what the Bruins are built on. Yeah. Yeah. What is it? Traditional tradition. Grit, passion and heart. Wow. Yeah. That's what it's all about. Whose jersey is that? This is Charlie McAvoy. Chuckie Mac, of course, actually signed it. Very cool. Coolest thing that's ever happened to me with Boston Sports Club, without a doubt. Hey, congratulations. Wear it once and frame this bad boy and the Bruins for being around for 100 years. No big deal. Forcing the insufferability of your fans upon others for 100 years. Hey, congratulations. You're just. You're just lucky that Friday we don't have a program because guess who the Bruins are playing. I heard it's the hot Pittsburgh Penguins. Oh, the hot. Yeah, the hot Pittsburgh Penguins. The Ponzi Pittsburgh Penguins are calling them. No, Mark. Andre Fleury, the flower. Which is what you're referring to. The pansy. The flower. You know, the very beautiful and soft flowers. No longer on the theme, as you know. And I'll have you know, we ruined his final day as Pittsburgh Penguin. This is a different squad. This is a different squad. We're flying around on the ice, aren't we? I mean, Sitting Crosby's fighting people. Yeah. How are the Penguins? Really good doing back there? Great. Now we suck. Yeah. No, it's not good. Hey, you said the Bruins have been around for 100 years. How many Stanley Cups have you guys won? Look, I don't know numbers, okay? I'm not a numbers. Well, you know the 100 number. I'm not. I'm not a numbers guy. All I know is that we were one of the first six in that. Yes. These Centennial Tarps are glorious. Look, you six. That was the number six. Yeah. In 100 years. Yeah. Holy. It's a tough league, boys. I mean, we all know that six in 100, when there was only six of you, you couldn't win. You couldn't run up the score because the Detroit Red Wings were doing. I rem. Think about all of our championships. Yeah, six. We have 6% of lords down these cups. I mean, look, I don't know. How many of the Penguins have. Do they got like eight or something? Five. Oh, okay. How many years. How many years when I came in the league in? 67. Okay, do some math, brother. Sorry. Oh, you want to know why we only won six? Because most of our boys went to World War II to fight for America. I don't know what the hell you want me to do there. They're storming the beach. They're storing the beach. Thank you for your service. Did after that, Korea. And guess what they did after that. Vietnam. So sor. At the Boston Bruins player said, you know what? Yeah, we want to win Lord Stanley's cup and maybe, you know, in 100 years from now, but it's bigger than us. Yeah, exactly. They actually won two of their cups during World War II. Okay. And that's exactly our replacements. They put their brothers on the team, okay? They said, hey, look, we're gonna. We're gonna go fight this war. Wow. You boys take our spots. Here's the jersey. Same skates. Same skate, same jersey, same name on the back. And, I mean, those kids are freaking 15 years old. In honor of the Bulls. Fun fact. I just looked it up. The Bruins have been in the cup 20 times. Holy hell. Yeah, we get. We get there. We get there. We beat the absolute dog out of the Red Wings on Saturday, lad. So I would. I don't want to hear it. We have 11 cups, though, lad. Yeah, yeah, that's fine. Go ahead. Say. Say we can talk about. Say what you want to say about his 11 Cubs. They're Ricky Mouse. No, no offense. No offense. And look, we. I. We don't live in the past, you know, I think that's the difference. I could sit here and talk about what has happened, you know, I could rest on my. Well, you are 100 years of it. That's what you just said. Well, I mean, that's because this is tradition. This is a great. This is a passion heart. Okay? You got to talk about the 100 years, but I'm not talking about what's happened before. And the Cubs have won before. I'm talking about what's happening right now. Yeah, of course. And that's us playing with our sack. Joe Sacco. Yeah. And we're going to continue. Pull your sacks out. And we're going to continue to do that, lay our sack on the line for Sacco. You love that. You felt so good when you were Yeah, I did. It just. It just happened in my. In my brain right there. Hey, good luck, coach. Sack. Keep it going. Tackle. Let's put the puck in the net, boys. Can't be having 30 shots. No goals, man. Shout. Shout out last night. And I think your two wins come from what? One goal games and two goal one nothing. Two, one. Bingo. You guys are. You guys are Big Ten football. Yeah, we're figuring out right now. Okay, but once those gates open. Oh boy. Seven goals, eight goals. I. I'd be worried if I'm the Penguins because that is the game. You circle like, hey, we can get 10 on these boys. Let's do that. Nobody say we get 10 on these guys once we do that. Not on Black Friday. No way. Definitely on Black Friday. That's kind of one of the days that you look to. That game's in Boston. In Boston. Oh, Sidney loves going just doing some gardening. Not when they're wearing tires. He loves Quiet Barns. Yeah, he does. Loves it. It's like he's out of the pond all by himself. Quiet Barns Friday after Blackout Wednesday. You know how many assholes are going to be in that barn? So many. So many. So many. Probably going to be the loudest barn you've ever heard in your life. Sid might. You know what? Nope. Healthy scratch. I don't want it. I don't want you ever say that. I don't want to do it. Fighting people. Still, Sid and Sacco. Actually, Nick sent me a cool little story. Sid and Sacco have a nice little relationship. When Sacco was up for coach of the year. Soccer. Yeah, Sako. Right. In 2009, Sako went down to the the gym at 6am Guess who's in there. Who? Sidney Crosby. Of course. He says, hey, Sid, what do I got to tell my boys to get them playing like Sidney Crosby? And they exchange some thoughts, some back and forth. Actually, because of that, there is rumblings that no. Wants to play for Sako. No. Yeah, because the 6am Rendezvous. 6am Rendezvous, we said, geez, I need a coach like this. I've never seen a sack on a. On a coach like. Like sack. I feel like there were some liberties taken. That is the story. They ran into each other 6:00am okay. Okay. I don't know if there are leagues about him coming to Boston. I'm sure he wants to because how the Penguins are playing and we know that the Bruins would fight for him. But it is true that Sackle and Crosby had a nice little rendezvous in the gym 6am in Vegas 1 year. Okay. Well, congrats to the Bruins celebrating 100 years. Hell yeah. On Sunday. Here's to the next 100 in the next hundred is cycle. Yeah. And hopefully you guys remain at six forever. That won't happen. Not coach. Not with Sacco. One half of the Hammer Cowboys. AP Tony's here. And 12 year NFL vet, former host of a hockey show. Yeah. Super bowl champion, ladies and gentlemen, AQ Shipley. What's your shirt say there? What's your shirt say there? Talk turkey to me. Oh, that's good. Clever sweater. That's good. Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving, yeah. So what type of turkey do you want to talk? Dark turkey. You like the leg? Yeah, I like deep fried. Or you don't like the. I don't like the white meat. The bland white meat. The flavorless white meat up there. That's right. The. Yeah. Choke on it. Yeah. Why do people do that? I don't know. I don't even know how they operate. I don't know. People. You know what they love? What do they love? Don't you dare. Mashed potatoes. Love them. They love them. They love mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes are so good. And once again, I am not burying stuff. Stuffing. I like stuffing too. Both can be good. And mashed potatoes happen to be fantastic. Now you can say. Well, it's not about the mashed potatoes. About everything on it. All right, so it's about everything that go with the mashed potatoes. Okay. Yeah. There are many things. Ice cream's good, right? It's great with hot sauce too. You know, it's very similar. You made chocolate ice cream and hot sauce. Chocolate syrup, of course. Hot fudge. Hot sauce. There it is. Hot sauce. Hot sauce. Hot sauce. And ice cream. Also a place. I mean, there's a chance. But these are all these people that say these things about what they like. It kind of gives away. Like, we can't take you serious. You can't. Because I don't. Especially in food. I don't know how taste buds can be so different. Like there's people that absolutely love that white meat. Like they'll have a leg turkey leg on the. On the plate and then a stack of just like, look at the wood chipping white meat right there. And they're like, oh, give me that. And I have no idea how that's possible with the same. That's because they dump a pound of gravy on it. Just like the mashed potatoes. Exactly. So it's actually the gravy. It's the gravy they like. They could eat Anything. Yoga mats. It could be paper. Bingo. Cardboard. That's right. You put enough gravy on it, they'll eat it. And we just, like, say to your taste buds, like, just come on in, water's fine. Grab a leg. Grab a drumstick. This week, this Thanksgiving, go ahead and bite into something that's tender, tasty, tasty, feels. You don't have to dump it on. No, you can eat it by itself. Now, Grant, it's terrible for you. That white turkey meat is much better for you than that. Without a doubt. But let's not talk about everything else you're eating that's going to be terrible for you anyway, so you're already in. Nothing wrong with a little, no matter what you eat. Happy Thanksgiving. Hope you have a great one. Watching football. First game is going to be good. Bears line is going to be good. Absolutely. Especially with how the Bears have been playing. Last game going to be good. I think, you know, Tua and the Dolphins for an entire offseason have basically had to have a full conversation about, like, we can't play in a cold. We can't play in the cold. What is the weather being projected? First of all, happy birthday, Joe Nardo. Happy birthday, Joe. Rest in peace. Happy birthday, Joe. You don't mean that. Miss you, Joe. This man's very dead, but he. If he was alive, his birthday would be right now. He is the greatest weatherman in the history. Amen. They actually think that this man right here created a Doppler? Pretty sure. He just didn't want to call it the dinardo because they thought people wouldn't be able to, you know, act normal around him. Sure. So he called it Doppler instead. But Joe Nardo's birthday. Happy birthday to Joe DiNardo. Rest in peace, Joe. Joe said it would. It did. And that's why we love Joe Nardo. Joe Nardo. Fun fact. From the same hometown as a Q. Shipley in Pittsburgh, Moon Township. AQ Shipley's a hater of Joe Nardo because AQ thinks only one big name can come out of Moon Township, and that's me. I've turned the corner on Joe. Oh, really? They have turned the corner. Way to go. You're forgetting about a bitch. No. Glad he can enjoy it. Oh, wait. No, he can't, because he's fucking dead. His family can. His family. Will you say happy birthday, Joe? Happy birthday, Joe. Will you thank him for representing? Go give him a hug. Thank you, Joe. Kiss him on. Maybe a kiss on cheek, you know, Maybe a kiss on cheek. Is, yeah, don't do all that. You've kissed worse. The fact that you're gonna do that, I do appreciate and respect. But what is the weather for this weekend or tomorrow in Green Bay? Kickoff gonna be 28 degrees and it's getting colder throughout the night. And the reason why this is such a big convo is because the Miami Dolphins went up to Kansas City last year during the playoffs and it was ice cold. And they stunk. It was bad. Everything looked different than what they had looked like that got them into the playoffs. Then they showed up in a cold and there wasn't enough of this. Not at all. They couldn't do enough of this. The heated seats weren't heated enough? No. The jet that just shoots about an area this big. This big. Everybody crouch right and everybody has to get into not enough. Now, the Dolphins have heard that all offseason. You guys are soft. Guys soft. Can't handle cold. Can handle the cold. Now they have an opportunity on Thanksgiving with the world watching one half of the Hammer Cowboys, gumpy, massive Dolphins fan, how do you feel about the boys heading into ice cold Lambo? I feel good. This feels like a different team this year. You talk about Joe New Smith, Jalen Ramsey, Dodson, who they just added, played for the Bills. I think this is a different team. I think they can get it done in the cold this year. Okay, So I think this conversation is a good one for college ball as well. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, the greatest coach in the history of college ball. A man who's a living legend, actually in fantastic on television. He was cold as shit last Friday in Columbus. But on this Thanksgiving eve, I assume he's doing just fine. Ladies and gentlemen, Nick Saban. How you doing, coach? How's it doing? Hey, I'm fantastic. Thank you for making this work on a Wednesday because obviously we don't have a show on Friday. We'll be down there in Texas. You're the man for that. Let's talk about what we were just chatting about. I think you heard the end of that. The Miami Dolphins lose to the Kansas City Chiefs last year in the playoffs. Ice cold. Everybody says this team can't handle the cold. Now they got a Thanksgiving game going into Lambeau, and they get a chance to kind of exercise the demons and showcase that they are the newest College football playoff bracket, projected bracket. Now, granted, this can all change with the conference champions and everything like that. Has two SEC teams playing against each other again, and then two Big Ten teams playing against each other. And I don't think we'll ever get to the end of the argument. Who's sec? Big Ten? Who's the better? Who deserves more? If it ends up this way, this would be a travesty. Coach I think this would be the biggest travesty of the 12 team playoff if it played out this way. Coach I agree. I also think that, you know, we've had this discussion before that by given the conference champions when they're not the highest ranked teams to buy, what it really affects is the path to the championship and when you don't see the teams based on the quality of the total season performance. So, you know, the number one seed should have technically the easiest path of the championship. And that doesn't really happen when you allow conference champions to get seated in the top four when they're not one of the top four teams. So I'm with you 100%. But I did have one comment when you were talking about, you know, Miami playing in cold weather and guys blowing on their hands. I just wanted to give them one coaching point that I got when I was a baseball player and I had a really tough coach and would blow on our hands when it was cold. And you know how it feels when you hit that ball and you got cold hands and we'd blow on our hands and you know, his coaching point was don't blow on your hands. You're not allowed to blow on your hands. Stick them up your ass. That's the same outcome. You're saying it's the same outcome there. Either way, that is the warmest part of your body, right? Don't they, don't they say that warmest part of the body, the cold is a real equalizer. And we had just started chatting about it this week, really, and I think, you know, anybody that's followed college football or got a chance to go around college football understands that the vibe across the entire Southeastern Conference is different than anywhere else. And if you've never experienced it, you obviously can turn on a television and watch any of these SEC games outside of Vandy, any other year than this year and it is a romp. It's all they got. It is their religion. It is their passion. It is their sport across the board. Now in the Big Ten, obviously, Penn State fills up 100 some thousand. Michigan fills up 100 some thousand. Ohio State fills up 100 some thousand. Oregon will be able to pack out whatever they want over there. But across the board, it's not. Everywhere is this insane environment so tough to win, obviously on the road in the Southeastern conferen, the cold, though, being an equalizer as kind of the battle there for some of these Southern teams having to come up and play in the cold. I think that is what the Big Ten would respond with in that argument. Like, yeah, maybe our environment is 100 some thousand and that's because our environment doesn't even make it conducive to happen. But the cold weather, I think is the equalizer in this entire thing for some of these Big Ten teams. And if we end up with no Southern teams going into the Big Ten, Terrence, boy, that would be. That would be a big miss. That would be a big. And then on the flip side, Big Ten schools having to go down into the south, that would be a travesty if we didn't have that, don't you think, Coach? Legitimately, you coached in the Big Ten and the sec. That's two different. Literally two different worlds of football there. I don't think there's any question about it. But I do think that the weather does impact the game. You know, the ball is harder to throw, the ball is harder to catch, it's harder to hold on to. You know, you have these rules, like I had a rule all the time, which my guys hated, that if you were a ball handler or a ball carrier, you couldn't wear sleeves because I always thought that sleeves made it slicker. When you put three pressure points on the ball, the ball would slide out easier and you'd be more susceptible to turnovers. All right, so it does have a huge impact. And the other thing is, is, you know, these young guys that play in the Southeastern Conference now, very few of them have ever played in cold weather. You know, at least in the NFL. Like when I was at the Dolphins and we had to go play in Buffalo and New England and the New York jets in December or January, the players at least got exposed to that to some point. And you had players on your team from all over the country, so some of them were used to it. Well, these guys in the Southeastern Conference are probably not going to be used to that. And it could have a huge impact on the game. Yeah, I think so, too. Especially with what happened. I mean, it's literally showcased in a lot of different situations. You talk about the Dolphins getting to play in AFC east matchups up in the cold weather climates. Then whenever they got to Kansas City and it was literally frozen, they look like a completely different team. That is a. That is an equalizer for a team that might not be as fast a team that might not be able to throw it as much and for an environment that doesn't have hundred some thousand. Last weekend on Saturday, it was full chaos in the sec, brother. I mean, full chaos. After that Indiana, Ohio State game, I thought, indiana's out. I thought, man, there's going to be. They gave the committee an excuse to leave them out. Like they gave them a reason to argue. And then everything unfolds in the SEC the way it does with a lot of teams that were kind of down there. And then Colorado loses and then army, who's obviously also in the conversation, loses. But the sec, full chaos this past weekend. What does that mean, you think? Does that mean that every week that you win is a big win in these major conferences, or what do you think is the big message out of what happened on Saturday? Yeah, well, I think what, you know, the playoffs have been a great thing for college football, but I also think the playoffs have made people more outcome oriented. Like if a coach stands up and talks about getting in the playoffs and you got to go to Oklahoma and play, and I'm just using Alabama as example, and you got to beat Auburn and the Iron bowl, your focus needs to be on what do I have to do to play well in the game that I'm playing in. Like, what's important now? What's important now is the game you're playing in now, the play that you're playing, the quarter that you're in. And all these teams are good enough, especially in the SEC, it's such a deep conference, you know, that a 5 and 5 team is a good enough team to beat, you know, probably anyone in the conference. So you can't ever let your hair down in any kind of way and not be psychologically ready to play play. And I think, you know, when you watch the game, things that are indicators that guys don't have the right mental intensity to play is missed tackles, guys missing blocks up front, guys dropping balls. You know, those are kind of lack of concentration things that come from not having the right mindset. And that means you didn't approach it right in practice for that week. And then when you show up for the game and you think you're just going to show up and win, you know, it just doesn't happen that way. So, you know, should be a lesson for everybody. But I think we have more roller coasters, you know, in college football right now than we've ever had before. I think part of that is, is the players are temporarily committed. That's totally different than be totally Committed to your team and to your performance. You know, these guys can be thinking about, well, I'm not getting enough playing time, I'm not catching enough passes, where am I going to go next year? I mean, all those things are distractions in terms of what your performance is and what your focus is on the task at hand and what commitment to it is. Yeah, because you're not really playing for school. Not now. I'm not saying this is every, not everybody, not everywhere. Because obviously there's some places that have people all in playing the right way. Oregon hasn't lost. Obviously they've had no hiccups. There's other schools that are dominating and everything like that. But we were talking about this, I think with Aaron yesterday, about him catching up with his COW teammates from 2004, 20 years ago or whatever. And they started telling stories of what it was and he was like. It was an immediate reminder that we were like playing for each other, you know, like. And that was what college always used to be. College always used to be that way. I think that's why a lot of us older guys, we're old, screaming at the clouds. Like when these kids started sitting out of bowl games, we understood the business decision, but it was like, this is one last time with the boys too. Like it was almost a. It's a completely different mindset. And I think it's all because what the world is right now. So I don't hold it against them. But how do you get people to stay committed, committed to team? I don't. I don't know. You know, and the boys, I'm not 100% sure. I don't think there's any question that I agree with you 100% that what we've created is a system that promotes self indulgent behavior. In other words, how does this affect me? And you know, we used to be on a team where the first thing you thought about is how does it affect the team? And if you made a mistake or whatever, it killed you because you were letting your teammates down. I don't know if you can blame the players for this, but I think we can blame the system to some degree because it promotes this. I mean, everything about the system promotes this. You're not as committed to your team. You can leave whenever you want. You got guys getting in the portal in the middle of the season start and then. Yeah, and then you got guys worrying about where they're going to go based on how much money they're going to make or how much plan time they're going to get. So, you know, a lot of these things have a. And These guys are 18, 7, 18, 19, 20 years old. All right. So it's more difficult to handle those things when you're that age. I don't think I could have handled it when I was in college. I mean, it was enough for me to handle what I needed to handle and behave well enough to get by in those days. So I just think it's really, really difficult for these guys to stay focused at the level they need to stay focused at. And, you know, the real bottom line of it all is everything's based on performance. So what kind of value are you creating for yourself if you're not committed to doing being the best player that you can be, you're not creating value for yourself. You're not creating value for your future. It's going to affect where you get drafted. So, I mean, all these things are like, you know, anti development, I call it, which is not a good thing for college players, both football and human. You know, I mean, that is. And I think about, if I was at this age, with this time, with this access to money, there's no way I would remain focused on kicking footballs. No chance with this thing right here. What? And I can make a dear. Your beard disappear in a half a second. Okay, cool. All I gotta do is do this, put it up on the Internet, then I can sell merch. It's like there's so many. For a lot of people, you know, sports was an avenue to change the trajectory of your family tree. Okay, So I was one of those people. I think there's a lot of those people that are in there. A cush was one of those guys. Like, that was the main goal. That was the. Hey, this is what we're working towards. This is how we do this. And I wasn't perfect by any means, but it was like trying to get to the money, money. But now you can get to the money and you don't really. That's like. If these kids are able to remain mentally tough and focused, it's almost like they're way better than we ever were. The kids that could do that. Right? But I could see how the distractions would get. It would have got me like that. I mean, there would have been no, you too. Probably 100. I mean, there is no chance. So good on these dudes that are able to stay focused. But I do think we're losing some, you know, I think we're. I think we're losing some shit Any question about it? And you know, one of the great things about sports, all sports all being a part of a team, you know, that's. That's a hell of an experience. How to work with other people, how to buy into principles and values, how to trust and respect and those things, how to trust and respect your teammates, how to have the kind of work ethic you needed to be to be successful, to reach your potential, to persevere through good and bad times, to learn from failings, to deal with success, to overcome adversity, to pride and performance. I mean, you got all these things that were great virtue of athletics that we all learned. And I. If I didn't play on teams when I was growing up and in college and have the opportunity to be involved in a team, I could have never had the kind of successful career that I had, you know, as a coach or even in business or anything else. Because those lessons are not something that you can learn everywhere in our society, but you certainly can learn them by being a part of a team. Yeah, everything you just said there about sports is why we love it. You know, that's why. That's why. That's why we love it. I mean, and I don't know if you mentioned it there, I tried to listen to all the gospel you were preaching there that we love. And the church of sport is a beautiful one. Working when you're tired too, like, that's a whole, that's a whole nother thing. Like, well, I'm tired. Well, the game don't care. Like the game's gonna happen, happen. You have to play in it. So you either figure the out or work through it, or you're gonna not be, you're gonna get embarrassed. Yeah. So it's like all those things I think are crucial to development of humans. And to your point, without it, I would nowhere be nowhere near the human. I wouldn't be. I'd be flipping. The driving force that we all had too pat was none of us wanted to be irrelevant. You know, nobody wants to be irrelevant. I mean, if you think back when you were kids and we would pick baseball team, you know, and they put the bat, who gets picked? You know, everybody wanted to get picked. I. Nobody wanted to be irrelevant. So now what is the value of being somebody that somebody wants to pick? I mean, have we destroyed that? I mean, would you pick yourself if you're out there as a player that's leaving your team after four games or in the middle of the season or whatever? I mean, would you pick yourself? I Think nobody wants to be irrelevant. And nobody talks about the dudes that just. They say they're hitting transfer portal, and then guess what? You live there now. Yeah. You know, everybody hears the story of, like, somebody hitting the transfer portal, getting signed somewhere. Cam Ward gets paid big. He's down in Miami. They completely change their entire franchise. You hear that story. What you don't hear about is the wide receiver that maybe didn't get enough balls one year somewhere and hits transfer portal thinking that the grass is going to be greener. And guess what? Fucking desert, brother, is no grass. Yeah. You know, so it's. It is a. It's a wild time in college ball, but somehow you got to remain focused at this part of the season, though. There are some big situations that could brew. Con Man's got a question for you. Yeah, coach. This didn't happen to your team, but a lot of these teams that are going into the rivalry weekend really have nothing to play for but to ruin their rival season. As one of those coaches who was coaching one of the teams that, you know is still playing for something, still can go get it, still can go to the playoff. How do you address your team when, you know, going into this week, like, hey, this is the other team's Super bowl, like, if we don't have complete focus, then our rival is going to hang their hat on their entire off season because they beat us during this game. Yeah, well, the one thing that I always try to do and it was always difficult in this game, you know, when we played in the Iron bowl, you know, at the end of the season, and, you know, sometimes we had a lot on the line and we needed to win that game, and it probably meant more to them because it would be something that would save their season, but yet we were playing for more than just that game. So. And understanding the importance of these rivalry games to the fans and bragging rights for the year and all that, but the anxiety that's created by the multiple of it is a big rivalry game, which means a lot. But the consequences of that means something in the future was always something that I tried to manage because, you know, to me, having too much anxiety is not good for performance. So you wanted the players to be able to stay in the right place psychologically so they could go out there, compete and have fun and not worry about the outcome so much that it affected their performance. You know, you've heard me say this before. You know, our team, team, and whatever year we lost to Tennessee, and the last play of the game, you Know up there lost to LSU on the last play of the game. Our team, I hate to say we choked and I don't mean it that way, but there was so much anxiety because those guys were so concerned about winning those games that they made mental errors at the end of the game that they typically would not make because the anxiety overcame them in terms of focusing on the results. So the thing that I always try to do is, hey, play one play at a time, like it has a history of a life its own. Stay focused on that. That's what creates value for you. And you're not going to dominate the competition on the first play of the game. It's going to take 50 plays to do it. So you got to keep grinding. You know, that's the way I always tried to play. I try to get them to stay in the moment as much as I could. Good. And I always thought that was helpful. And the teams that didn't do that didn't have success. Okay, so on that note, AQ has a question for you because this is a new setup with the way this 12 team playoffs going to operate. Yeah, Coach. Every single team is going to have about a month layoff going into this. What did you always tell your teams when you have that long of a layoff and how did you keep them staying sharp during that whole process? Yeah, well, I was different than everybody else. You know, in my early days as a coach, coach, I always tried to practice the team from the momentum of the end of the game to the next game, which was like you say, it's a long time in between. And we played horrible. I mean, we were horrible. Not bad, horrible. All right. So then I got to the point where I just said, let's approach it like a one game season. And I would look at the date that we were going to play and I'd go back to where we could have 10 or 11 practices and then whatever time was left in between, I just said, hey, you guys lift weights. You can have seven on seven amongst yourself. The coaches aren't going to be around. I don't want you to focus on this psychologically until we start practicing, you know, 10 or 11 days before the game. We'll do a little conditioning to try to keep you in shape. And that's how we approach it. And we played a hell of a lot better. All right. Because if you practice too long for a game, to me your team is going to be flat by the time you get to the game. So like a lot of things we did ask Backwards. That probably was asked backwards, but it worked. Yeah, because team gets exhausted of it, I assume, you know, Exhausted. Yeah, you just. Anytime people get bored with stuff, you know, and I'm not saying athletes get bored with competition, but if it's just the same thing every single day for a month, you could see how people would get sick of it. 10 to 11 days before the game. Sounds like a genius idea. Still getting a little extra bonus prep. We're keeping the guys in shape. And they don't hate us. Yeah, they don't hate us by the end of this. That's not a bad play. AQ told me one time that Paterno did something where like the starters for that first two, three weeks or whatever only did individuals and then underclassmen who weren't starters. They did the team stuff. And then once, just like coach said, they're like 10 days before the game, then they got back into that normal practice. It was like training camp almost. That's. I mean, you only played a few of those games. Yeah. You know, that's all. How many, how many years were you at Bama? 17. How many years were you guys in, like a big time game, do you know? I think 11. Well, 14. It depends on how you figure it. We were in the playoffs 12 times. Okay. And I think so. You know, people talk about the seven that we won, but I focus on the five that we lost, whether we got him or, you know, in the, in the playoffs, in the first round. And most of the time it was something that we could have done better. You know, it was something that was avoidable. And that's the hardest thing, you know, when you're a competitor or whether it's a coach or player. If you lose because of something that you could have avoided through better preparation or, you know, better knowledge and experience. And I always felt like, except for one time when, you know, we played Oklahoma and Miami in the Orange bowl and then we had to go to. Out there to California to play Clemson. And we got out there four days before the game. So it was a tough trip. There was eight days in between games. We were as far away as we could be. The travel was tough, the preparation was tough. And then we got out there and it rained and there was no place in San Jose to practice, so we didn't get to practice. And we just. We got our ass handed to us. That's the only game that I felt like we just got beat. Okay, so should have 11 national championships. You know, that's. That's the thought. You've done good, Coach. We're so thankful. We get to talk to you every single week. Legit. And the fact that you're. You're a hilarious dude, too. I get a chance to do dinner with this guy on Friday nights. Lucky to do that. What a time. You're a hilarious dude. How about O's? Hey, how about O's? The Mentalist. That was wild, wasn't it? Yeah. That motherfucker's a demon. He is, isn't he? He might be, Coach. Legit. That guy might be a demon. Yeah, you're right. I FaceTimed those from dinner because we had talked about O's to Coach Saban over the last couple weeks. It's like, hey, you needed this thing. This thing. Yeah, but he didn't get. He didn't get the score of the game, right? You said 34, 27. Bingo. 38, 11. I was paying special attention to that. Hey, he would say, I assume, well, they're going to play again. Like, that's probably, you know, he'll probably say that they'll have a chance to play again. But if the Niners don't get going soon, I don't know if they're going to be meeting each other again in the future. All right, let's talk a little bit about the playoff judgment again. And, Coach, obviously your thoughts are very important on this. Tone has a thought. Yeah, Coach, there's some teams out there, like Texas, Notre Dame, Penn State, Indiana, who a lot of people were saying, you know, they haven't played anything, anybody or beaten anyone good yet. If you were on the. On the committee and say their strength of schedules are pretty even and their records pretty even, what would you look at if you were determining the ranking, like, when you're watching film or something like that, what would be most important to you? Well, you know, I hate to make comparisons, but I actually think they get it closer to right in basketball because they have all these RPI things and, you know, strength of schedule, who you beat, how many good teams you beat, not necessarily how many you played, but how many. How many you beat. I think that should be a real consideration. But I do think, as we boil down to this, you know, like right now, hard to reward a team with three losses, especially the kind of losses that Ole Miss had and like, Alabama's had to, you know, pretty 500 teams, I want to call them, so pretty average. You know, teams where, you know, you got, you know, you got some other teams that maybe they didn't play the same competition, but they didn't lose games to average teams either. So I think that matters. And the only team that could have an argument to get in with three losses, if Georgia actually plays in the SEC Championship game, they really shouldn't be penalized. If they. They would happen to lose the game, they would end up with three losses. But I don't think a team that didn't play in the championship game that has two losses should get in, especially if they played a good game and it wasn't a blowout. So, yeah, we want to put. We want to put the college. We want the College Football Playoff committee. I think Reese does, too. Every week he asks him, like, hey, can you just say that if you play in the SEC Championship, you're good, good, or if you play in the Big Ten championship, you're good. Can you say that, that these are the two leading conferences this year? And they said, we'll just judge. You know, obviously we hold championships in high regard. We will watch how they play in those games. So I think what they're saying, Ward Manuel saying without saying anything, is like, if they look like a good team, we will reward them for being in the championship. But if they get steamrolled in this thing, it's like it will be held against them. It's kind of. We're trying to read through the lines there, there. But I think they will get rewarded if they end up playing in the championship. I think naturally humans in that place will reward that, I hope at least. But the subjective part of this that you can never fix is the conferences are not equal. They're not equal in depth of good teams, nor are they equal in the quality of the best teams. So to give you an example, let's just take Ole Miss. So I stay away from this whole Alabama thing. So if Ole Miss played In the Big 12 12, what would their record be? That's the kind of subjective issues that we have in college football. That's never going to change unless we take the best 40 teams in college football and put them in a league very similar to the 32 teams that are in the NFL and then the competition level is probably going to be, you know, more equal. So that now you could actually say beating good teams because you're playing good teams all the time. You know, I've always said that we should play all. Nobody should play Mercer. Nobody should play a one double A school. Everybody should have to play these top 40 teams. And then you'd have a better idea of, okay, who are the best teams here. But consistency and performance means something. And that's why in Ole Miss and Alabama's case, they didn't have consistency in performance. They lost two teams they probably shouldn't have lost to. So there should be a penalty for that as well. But then the counter argument, not that SEC needs more counter arguments, but like in the NFL right now, a week after you play the Lions, teams are like 0 and 11 or something like that. So it's like you in the deeper conferences, we'll say Big Ten and SEC right now, like big games. Every week means something too, as opposed to like a big game, JV game, big game, JV game, which some of these things are. And once again, I just got baptized in the college football world like four years ago, so I'm just kind of watching it. But if it did, since it is going to a revenue share model, seemingly go into a salary cap model, is seemingly what everything is kind of going towards April 8th, we'll get to final ruling on it. Do you think there's ever a chance for that top 40 league to ever happen? That would be a lot of people agreeing to a lot of shit, right? Sankey would have to talk to Matiti. Matini would have to talk to all these other people. It would be. The NCAA would have to get. That'd be a lot of people that would have to agree on something, right, Coach? A lot of people would have to agree on something. But you know, like I always say, it's not about the money, it's about how much. But if you had a league like that, they would be able to have a better TV contract, more revenue. And a lot of decisions are getting made in college athletics now, which is different than it used to be in the old days about what are the financial consequences of all this. So I do think there's a possibility, although I agree with you, it would make. It would be a ton of changes. Yeah, it'd be a lot of people having to agree to a lot of things and a lot of people having to succeed a lot of things. And then obviously a lot of people getting used to breaking brand new things. It'd be crazy. And we just, we can't lose what college ball is though, you know. But one of the things that is going to happen too is even if we have revenue sharing, how many actual teams out there can afford to do $20 million to pay players and still be able to function, you know, in the programs that they have? So they're either going to have to drop sports or not be able to compete because they can't afford to pay. Play the play, pay the players. Geez. I thought that money was just automatically popping out of thin air. That's what I thought was, what the hell? I didn't know that. I thought that money was just showing up that I actually never even thought about how the money's getting. I'm just like all of them. Everybody's. Everybody's getting the same. It's like, no, you got to produce that now. It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wild time to be alive, Coach. Can't wait to see you down in Texas. Happy Thanksgiving. What are we doing for the holiday? This will be the first time in a long time that we don't have 25 players over for Thanksgiving, which I always enjoyed. It was a great experience to spend time with players in a non football atmosphere, but it's also something we're looking forward to for the first time to just have family. To just have your family there. So that's going to be great. But I wish you guys a great Thanksgiving. It's a great holiday. It's time for us to all have gratitude for all the things that we have have and not focus so much on what we don't have. So it's a good thing we're grateful. Is out for you. Ladies and gentlemen, the goat. Tell miss Terry and the family we said happy Thanksgiving. Nick Saban. Thank you, coach. It is a good mindset. Head anymore. So know about. Well, you don't have like AQ's calves. You ever seen this guy's calves? My God. Holy. I want them pop through the jeans. He's got to wear those belt bottoms just so he can get his calves. Got to be implants. You should just need a sweatshirt earlier. I want that thing, too. Oh, yeah. It was like this. Yeah, it was just like that one, but it had different words. Yeah. Kind of celebrating trade deadline day. Gotcha. Yeah. Teams got better. Teams got worse. That's right. Our team got better. Whenever coach Saban, you know, decided to join us every single week. We got to do the entire last season of his career. Yeah, yeah, Right. We're on the field for the last game of his career. Yeah. Last couple plays. Yeah. Running down a sideline with him. That is a moment. There has to be a camera somewhere that captured that for sure. I'm literally right next to coach Saban as we're going into overtime. Yeah. Good luck, coach. There's no way we're supposed to be d butt running behind AJ Dragging his. You know, I don't want to Run. What are we okay, we're on the field. There's no way we would have made it if we would have went around. No shots. College bowling, this B part, some of this. Yeah. Incredible. Pastor Dean is awesome. The Rose bowl is crazy. Getting in, getting out. Need a chopper. I don't know how that works, but that place is beautiful. Yeah. Yeah. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man who's a multiple time super bowl champion. He's a former general manager, he's a TED talker, he's a live show host, he's a podcast host, he's an email newsletter founder. Ladies and gentlemen, Michael Lombardi. Yeah. What's up, guys? Happy Thanksgiving, everybody. Happy. Thanks. Appreciate you having me. Happy Thanksgiving to you. Thank you for moving up a day. Obviously we're going to be off for two days, so we're trying to get all our friends in. We're so thankful that you're able to make time for us. Turkey, ham guy, what is your go to? I'm a fat guy. I eat everything. I mean there's nothing on that plate that I'm not going to eat. You know, I mean, come on now. I mean I'm not a. I'm not. The only thing I'm not touching is the p. Is the pumpkin pie. You can have that. I'll eat apple. I'll eat any other kind of pie but the pumpkin. You can have combo. But you know, I'm a carb guy, so the stuffing is going to be a tough thing to stay away from. Bingo. You know the deal. You've said it. You've already said lasagna. Yeah. What type of lasagna we got at the Lombardi family on. Well, there's only one kind. It's the one my, my wife makes an incredible lasagna. It's with a bechamel sauce. It's got meat in it. It's really good. And that's the best way to start. I mean you just eat your way through it. Then you drink your way through the night as we. We watch to navigate under 40 degree weather which he hasn't been able to do so well. And we get to watch how. How great is Lambeau Field on Thanksgiving night to see the pageantry of that. The fans all. I mean, I couldn't think of a better setting to end the night than in Lambeau Field watching the Dolphins play the Packers. It might have a Steelers brands type snow, although they're not calling for. You never know. You literally never know. Whenever the weather gets. It'll be 27, I think a kickoff then in the afternoon. Tommy Cutlets is not looking likely to play for the New York Giants. They say Drew Lock probably going to be the starter for the Giants taking on the Dallas Cowboys. And then let's talk about that first game there. 12:30 in the middle of everybody's meal or hangout time. Caleb Williams and the Bears, who've been playing well, just can't win a close game against the dominant Detroit Lions. How do we feel about that game? Lambo, what are your thoughts on that? Well, I think, look, you know, this Detroit team has been so good, but the one thing we haven't seen them is dominate on Thanksgiving Day, right? I mean I think that they are a team that has been that have one on that haven't been able to cover their own three straight up on the holiday. They're two and one against the spread. So I think to me this is kind of an important. Now they're going into the game with injuries. David Montgomery says he's going to play, I'm on St. Brown says he's going to play. But look, a ten and a half point dog. I think this Lions team has been so good, they don't take anybody lightly. They play to a standard. You just had Nick on and Nick was so big about this in terms of when he was coaching and what he wanted his team to do. It's a Belichickian principle. We play to a standard, right? We play to something that's bigger than the one loss record. Bill Walsh wrote a book called the Score Takes Care of Itself. That's what he's talking about and that's what impresses you most about this Lions team, I think for the Bears because they've got to play better defense. You know, look, Matt Eberflusse's scheme is all predicated on can we get four guys to bother the quarterback because we're going to play zone. Last week they play Minnesota, they sack Montez Sweat sacks him on overtime, sack Sam Darnold for a six yard loss. What happens? They throw two checkdowns and get a first down because they're playing zone and there's too many easy throws. The great Bud Carson, a former defensive coordinator, head coach of the Cleveland, the Browns, he used to say all the time, if you don't harass the receivers or harass the quarterbacks, they're going to throw it too good, they're going to throw it too well and they're going to be at 70%. And that's what happens to these Teams that run this scheme, it's crazy. I feel like this is no offense to anybody. Okay. This is no offense to anybody. None taken. But you could be a really good D coordinator if you have four guys that can get to the quarterback. I mean, that's kind of like. I don't want to say anybody, but if you have some football knowledge and you have four great D linemen and you can get to the quarterback, you can do a lot of that frees up a lot of things for a lot of players and a lot of teams. Which leads me to. Is that the Niners problem, You think? What is your thought on. Is that the Niners issue? You think that's exactly what the Niner issue is. Look, they've had so many great players in that defensive front, but they've lost them right to me. To run the Niner scheme, to run the Jet scheme, to run the Indianapolis scheme, to run the scheme that these teams of Eberflut, Chicago that are zoned teams that want to be able to drop seven, read the quarterback's eyes and then break on the ball, they. You have to have at least two blue chip players in the defensive front and at least three red chip players. You got to be really good, right? You got to be really good. And unfortunately for the 49ers losing hard graves, they don't have a three technique. See, here's the problem. The hardest thing to find in football besides a left tackle is a three technique. A dominating three technique, right? Why are the Eagles so good? Jalen Carter in shape and he's playing great. Three techniques are hard to find because the Warren saps of the world that you have to slide the protection to all the time, those guys create more problems than the edge rushers who you could chip. But when you've got a slide and then you have another player inside who can beat one on one blocks, it's tough. And I think the Niners losing all those players, they have Bosa, but then they don't have any really red chips or blue chips in their line and that affects their cover. Feels like it's easy to read if a defense is good or not by if their defensive line is good. Now on the offensive side, it's easy to tell if they're good, if the offensive line is good. AQ has a question for you. Lambo? Yeah, Lambo. I watch film every week and I it. It's. I find three great offensive lines and then after that it's like a. It's a crapshoot to find 4 and 5. Right. Why do you think there are so few offensive line that are very good right now? I think a lot of it is by the collective bargaining agreement. I think because when you started in the league and when I started in the league, you know, we had Kirk Feren's coaching our offensive line and we could go inside and take guys like Orlando Brown and Wally Williams, guys that weren't drafted, and put them in that indoor facility and work on their fundamentals and get them better and really coach them and get an off season program into it. I think a lot of it has to. The fact that we're having a hard time training them. And then Bill Parcells used to say this all the time. We can only take from colleges what they give us. Right. And in college everybody's at a two point stance, nobody's rolling their hips, nobody's coming off the football, everybody's just side blocking and we're not getting development. And so the process of it, getting an offensive lineman is further behind now than it ever was, even when they were running the wishbone in college. Right. And so we drafted Shaq Mason in the fourth round. He never passed protected in his life. And that was a good thing. You know why? He didn't have any bad habits. So when you take a guy like that, you can teach him. And I think development has been really bad. And I think the obvious is there's just not enough players. I think you've got to look differently. You've got to find some defensive linemen that aren't very good, that were wrestlers in high school, that were also played offensive line in high school and get them over to the offensive line. Yeah, wrestlers, seemingly offensive linemen who have a wrestling background are good because leverage and they know everything like that. How are you as a wrestler in high school? I won my first match and then I lost 17 straight and I went right back to basketball. Yeah, AQ is an anomaly. Okay, he was terrible at wrestling, but he's chip, I love your honesty, 100%. You should have lied. And we would have believed it was a damn good basketball player though. We wouldn't have. Yeah, he's high school hall of fame basketball player, but his wrestling record is shite. Absolute shite. All right, last question here because we're running up against it. Ty has one for you. Lambo. What about the Black Friday game? Chiefs, Raiders, Obviously last year the Raiders beat the Chiefs on Christmas Day. But this Raiders team this year is just a complete shit show, just awful. And then the Chiefs on the other side I mean, they're still winning, but kind of the same deal. They haven't put everything together. They escape Carolina, who's playing a little bit better. But how do you see that game on Friday shaking out? I don't think Andy Reid has to do any motivation because Antonio Pierce took care of that for him on the off season. Because remember when Antonio Pierce said they've got the magic formula to beat Patrick Mahomes? Right. We're going to find out on Black Friday. I don't think that's true. And they're playing worse defense this year with Antonio Pierce as their head coach than they were last year when he was just the interim. So to me, there's problems in Raider land. And look, last time they played in Kansas City on Christmas Day, Aiden O'Connell didn't complete a pass after the second quarter. After the first quarter, there was no more completions by him. And he's going to start in this game. I think this is going to be a route for the Chiefs. I think the Raiders are in. What we're going to see over this week are the two teams who might be picking first in the draft, the Raiders and the Giants. Okay, wow. All right. Before we get out of here, that seems like a futures bet. Do you have any picks for the weekend that we need to be on? I do. I love that. You know what I love? I love the Chargers this week. I really love the Chargers. Everybody thinks it's going to be a short week. I think Jim Harbaugh will get his team ready. I think if Quentin Johnson catches a couple passes, that game's closer. Even though I was on the Ravens in that game. But I like the chart. Anytime Atlanta plays a tough minded team with physicality, they struggle. I think this Charger team bounces back. Okay. It's a long flight over there. You talked about being on the Ravens. 70% of the money. We were on the Ravens. I was on the Ravens. The entire Hammer Don show was on the Ravens. The Monday Night Football Countdown show, everybody on it was on the Ravens. It's wild that that hit. I'm thankful it did, though. Happy Thanksgiving, Lombo. We love you, man. To you guys.

And I am so lucky and thankful that I get to hang out with this group of dudes outside of you every single day. Ladies and gentlemen, talk to the table at Boston Connor and that Ty Schmidt, con man. Great centennial sweater. Thank you very much. I don't know if you've seen the newest news out of hockey, Ty. This happened during the first hour. Brad Marshall. Yeah, the captain. The captain of the Boston Bruins. He's potentially on the trade block. Shut up. What is not the news. There's a massive if. That's before Chris Johnston. Who? I certainly don't know who the hell it is. But if this is out. He's a good reporter. He knows. Thank you, Chris. Thank you, Mr. Johnston. I love Chris Johnston. I've probably seen his work. I didn't know it was him. That's on me. Hockey is awesome. Pittsburgh Bingo. That's 12 year NFL vet, host of a hockey show that he just quit out of nowhere a few years back. Super bowl champion, AQ Shipley. Reunite him with Sid. I mean, they're boys. They're hometown boys. He's supposed to be a Penguin too. Look, read that first sentence. If the Bruins don't turn things around, you can cut it right there. Could become a trade kid. You can cut it out. If the Bruins don't. If the Pens win on Friday, that's potentially be the final nail in the cup with the team. Yeah. You know for a fact Sacklow's got these boys going. Okay, so we can. We can do the. If this, if that, if this. I'm not doing it. Chris Johnson's doing. Exactly. Yeah. And we can. And we can stoke that flame. We can act as though this is real. Sakos got the boys flying around the ice like they never. Guys can't score that for now. Just like I said. Wait till we put up six in the first period against the Penguins. Just like The Dallas Stars did. And then don't put, don't compare yourself to Texas. What happens, what happens when we go to Strong island tonight? Show those islanders what the hell real puck's all about. Oh, you're going all on the island? Uhuh. Yeah. We'll be on the island tonight and we'll beat the out of those poopy Islanders and then we'll come back to. And we'll come back to Boston. Speaking of beat the out of somebody Shout out to Biz. Shout out to Biz. I heard him tell the story. I, I listened to him tell the story on Spit. Chiclets. Yeah, he put his finger in his face. Nobody was looking around. About 15 seconds, I come, oh, hey bud, this is over. And I guess he gets into a full brawl with six to seven people. Six people end up getting arrested. And this goes from inside bar to. He loses shoe outside at one point. This is in Phoenix, so I think it was in a rock area. Goes through a parking lot again, he's fighting six people into the front of a CVS around a dumpster, Loses his other, loses his shirt. Gets them in, comes some guy comes in, buckle guy, started the entire thing. Goes into cvs, cops show up, they arrest this crew straight out of a movie that all got their asses beat by one guy. Look at their faces. Obviously they're all disheveled and they're taking mugshot pics. So they're not going to be pumped up at all. But just know that Paul Bisonette, Biz nasty. Hosts of Spit and Chiclets, Former hockey guy, former tough guy, Stick gloves for a living. Sweater guy for a living living. That's out of a movie. Yeah. And Biz being the perfect guy for that to happen to. Thank you for your service. Biz. It's like Family Guy inside the restaurant. He didn't have a scratch on him. This is what he looked like. This is what the one guy who fought them all looked like. And that's why hockey is awesome. Okay. That is just what it. And then he even said he wishes he could forego all the charges. Just go 1v1 against all of them behind some barn somewhere and just one after another handle. It's like six dudes trying to fight one guy. They all get arrested. They all end up looking like Jay Leno. Wow. Jay Leno fell down a very steep hill that was 44ft. And they don't look like J.J. looks like he got beat by Biz, actually. One on one. Yeah, he got beat by four. Business bingo. It was six business on one. Jay Leno. Yeah. Is what Jay Leno's face looked like. But we're happy to hear he's okay. Hell, yeah. Hopefully one half of the Hammer. Cowboys AP Tony's here. Houston's. I assume the which is the place in which this all started. Have I ever been to Houston's? Where's Houston? No, it's. It's right on Scottsdale Road. It's a good. It's a good place. Is it bar lounging? It's upscale American bar food. I guess there's a bar and then like a good restaurant at the bar. They don't serve people who don't have seats in. Those six golfers, they needed a drink and now out one and they start finger pointing at the general, man. Can't do that. Can't do that. Business house. No. That's disrespectful. So I become friends with the staff. I know these people stopping by Houston's all the time. Is anybody gonna stop these? Okay. All right. Everyone's looking. When Biz is walking over there to them, do you think in his head he's going, I'm about to up six dudes? Yeah. Is that his? Absolutely. Yeah. Four Houston's, by the way. Like, brown. Yeah. It's got a jersey on underneath his jacket. I'm sure. What a dog. Hockey's awesome. For the French onion soup. What's that? He said he fought for the French onion soup. They probably got that cheese right melted. That's what started. He actually one of those guys knocked over his on the way in. Yeah, I'd fight for that. Server was bringing in the French onion soup up here. Behind. Behind. Polo gun. Boom. Now you did. Yeah, now you did it. I love those stories in real life. And then he. He beat six dudes. Ass asses. And they go to jail, not him. Yeah. That's good. That's a victory. I think the world's coming back. That's. That's America. Hey, that's that. It is good. Shout out. I love that. And everybody's disagreed. Yeah. Yeah. Actually the seventh guy deserved it too, but he just kind of backed out. They learned a lot about that guy in the group that got away there, huh? Anyways, joining us now is a man who I hope has an opportunity to have this moment sometime. He's a college football national champion. A Super bowl champion. What? A Ryder cup winner. What? Former president of the state of Ohio. God. Just imagine somebody coming up, like his kids and their friends. It's like a group of six Dudes and polos that just got done golfing, and he gets a chance to get up and see red Cheesecake Factory parking lot. Did you take all the grilled chicken here? Who's going to eat the bland ass rice, you or me? That's what I thought. Saw some all down. Ladies and gentlemen, A.J. hawk. Yeah. Thank you for that, Hawk. We know you would do that. We know you would do that for the Factory. Yeah, I mean, it would be funny to get into a big old bra. Cheesecake Factory and have it spill into the parking lot. That'd be amazing. And then into another business's parking lot. What was everybody else doing? What's everybody doing when he was. When biz is taking on all these dudes, there has to be a video somewhere. There has to be. He said it would. He said in his video, like, there's surveillance footage there. He's like, it'll come out. I mean, is he. Cuz is he just. Bang. Is he like knocking one? Squaring him back up? Is he like. You've obviously, we've seen, like Bruce Lee videos, like back in the day, taking on groups. And obviously Steven Seagal has. Has taught us how to take on. Yeah, no doubt. Yes. Detroit PD guy. All this bingo. We've. We've seen all these recreations on the Internet. What's it like in real life with six drunk whites fresh off a golf course who are in need of a drink right now, coming after. What is the plan of attack? How many kicks do you think? You think he got any kicks out, too? You think sidekicks? He said he would. He was saying he would hit him and he'd kind of like have to back up because he said they all didn't jump him at once. So, like, take care of this guy. Oh, back up. I see you coming. Like, he had a good plan. It sounded like. Well, he said he did get kicked twice in the head. Yeah. Once in his shoulder. He said, right, back up. Obviously fought a guy. Think about those. Buckled him. He saw the bald guy coming, buckled him. Got a good right. Buckled good. He's in the moment. Yeah, it was a good. The guy that started the whole thing, he beelines through the holes. What do you think those six drunk guys are thinking? What is this? Kill this guy. What are we doing? Who is this guy? They'd be so embarrassed. They'd be so embarrassed. Normally we beat the out of this guy. Obviously, it's a little different today. Spending time in jail for that. Getting ass beat by one guy. And then you spent a Couple families. I think I saw a couple of simple last names. There's a couple of ones that were different in there. That's a tough time at the golf course. Yeah, they all shot a hundred, too. No doubt. How many sleeves a balls were lost by those guys? The thought of them throwing punchers, looking at each other like, what is this? It's still going. What's wrong with him? Who is this guy joining us now, ladies and gentlemen? This is a guy who maybe has been in this situation before. We don't know. There's a chance he's in the bull ring of honor for the Houston Texans. We have only three people. He's a future first ballot hall of Famer. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Wednesday, and it's J.J. watt. Did you know in the city, obviously, that you play for the Cardinals and have a home and everything like that, that you could potentially go hang out at a restaurant and get an opportunity to beat the hell out of six drunk dudes? Did you know that this happened? I wish. I wish I knew earlier because this is about three minutes down the road for me. That would have been a lot of fun. Could you imagine you and Biz imagine JJ showing up, just walking out of his car in business, like any one of them. That's what I don't get, man. I'm trying to picture, like, there has to be some footage somehow. The CVS has to have a camera. Houston has to have a camera. But six dudes on one, like, I, I, I. Biz is a badass of badasses, obviously. Of course. How the are you not take, like. Is it like, okay, you take attorneys like a line like they're playing lightning in basketball. We're like, all right, my turn now. My turn. Or are they like six dudes just around the guy? I'm so confused. Just spinning around. I don't know. Incredible. He had to have kicked, right? At some point. He had to have kicked. I assume there was. He lost both shoes, so probably barefooted kick, too. Like, you see. I wonder how many times he thought to himself, aldo, oh, my God, Rock. Because that hurts. That hurts in the middle of it. I'm sure you don't feel it, but he woke up the next day, boy. Yeah. My God. Dogs are bar. He looked good, though. I mean, he looked good. Handsome. Yeah. Taking six guys on now, seeing the mug shots, like, you're like, okay, now I can see it a little bit more. Like, they're. They didn't exactly look like the Peaky Blinders out there, you know? But they actually. They did look like they're kind of out of them. They look like they've eaten. They've eaten their fair share of food, and they look like they think they're tough. I would say that. Yeah. But they don't look. Clearly look like they can actually brawl. Oh, very fantastic restaurant. And can definitely attest to the people. There's a hillstone. Andy Houston's here. Both the same family. That restaurant is worth fighting for. It's a good restaurant. Okay. Oh, yeah. B, we appreciate you. Hockey is absolutely awesome, and I think that's a great testament to what hockey is, by the way. Yeah. Amen. Okay. Willing to just go fight a group of friends for a restaurant hockey guy? Yeah, that's good for hockey. What happened? Did no other patrons pop up to help out after the fight started, by the way? Like, I get that maybe this is the first one to defend, which is ridiculous in its own right. Where's everybody else? But then once a brawl starts, like, somebody get in there and pull some people off. So Z has learned more. He did have to get a vitamin Toradol shot the next day, I guess, to relieve some of the. Some of the pain in which he felt because he did get kicked in the head and armed a couple times. He said he was shocked. I guess he did say that Nobody else jumped in. He was like, what? All right, you're just watching some. To get his ass kicked. Like, what the going on? How cool would that be if Jade was rolling into cvs, you know, just happened to park the car. Yeah, just he Biz James, thanks for coming. Oh, wow. They said it was three and a half minutes, I think is the length of time that's so long. He had to be. Yeah. Those dudes had to be so gas. Oh, my God. I assume everyone saw the fight and was like, I don't want to ruin this story. He's handling himself okay. The one on six is a cool thing. Is that biz over there? Yeah. It's basically. He's good. He's got it. Let him go. He's got it. Should we film it? No. Casually roll over into the parking lot, too. Like. Like, they had to get out a door. That's not easy. The movie fight, like, wall crawling. I think he's. I think he's probably, what, backing out? Yeah. One of these. Someone get that door. He had to be the first one out, I assume. And then they were following. He was. He said, like, there was, like, a little, like, statue in, like, the. Like, the entryway where the doors come in. He was like, I managed to duck under that thing, get outside, create a little separation and then space. Yeah. Bring them all into my web. And he was just like waiting for him out there. Kind of brought him all into. The greatest guy that this could happen to. Yeah, yeah. Great storyteller. There's no better voice to tell that story. I mean, the hockey voice, like the accent, it's just. That was perfect. What do you say? Took some, gave some more. Something like that. What a legend, dude. Spitting Chicklet's also very influential in the hockey world. Oh, yeah. You know, like, I. I think they're a massive piece of the NHL. And obviously the NL ratings last year were the biggest they've ever been. I think you could say the projection and trajectory of that particular podcast has certainly helped out with the whole thing because the boys come on there and they actually open up. We're actually cold facetiming biz right now to see if he answers. Probably not. Very busy man. 10 jobs and he still figures out ways to beat shit out of people. If he does, we will certainly have some follow up questions. Let's talk about your world. J.J. watt. I seen a tweet that you put out where you said Saquon Barkley and this offensive line equals chico, I think is what you said. It was your exact Saquon plus Eagles O line equals cheat code. And I think AQ Shipley would certainly, you know, acknowledge that because he's been putting over the Eagles offensive line for a long time. But to your point, most rush yards before contact this season and Hembo sent this over after seeing your tweet. Saquon Barkley is in first, obviously in the NFL at 116 yards before contact. Jeez. Damn. And in second, Derrick Henry was 773 yards. So 773, 1016 before contact. Does that make them the best team in football in your eyes? I said the other day that I think the Detroit Lions are the best team in football right now. And that's because I had eyes on them on Sunday and I seen what they did. And if you look at how they've kind of played, they beat people. They. They really do. But this Eagles team, obviously, with what they do, is certainly in the running for. They might. This might be another super bowl year for the Philadelphia Eagles. Do you agree with that or who do you think? Best team in football? I think it's very tough right now. Best team in football to not say the Lions. I mean, the Lions are playing incredible ball both sides of the ball, they're just drumming people. I mean, left and right, as many points as they want to score, whoever they want to get touchdowns too. So I think it's tough to not say them, but I do think this Eagles team is humming. And I think a few weeks back or earlier on, you know, you're starting to look at that division and you're like, wow, the commanders are really coming on. Are they going to take this division? But the Eagles are just storming back in and saying, no, no, this is ours. We're going to take this. And it's, it's true. Like, it's not like you can just put any running back there and they'll be great. I mean, yes, that offensive line is phenomenal. And yes, they open up some incredible holes and they've got some good schemes to open things up, but Saquon is special. And then you add him to that whole line and that's when you create something truly great. And it's incredible to watch. I mean, we're seeing obviously something similar with Derrick Henry and the Ravens. The Ravens have had a good rushing attack for a long time. Derek Henry's good on his own for a long time. But you put those two things together and you get something incredible. That's the same thing we're watching here. It's, it's really, really fun to watch. Well, and Jalen hurts, has to love it. And Jalen hurts, helps Saquon Barkley, obviously he freezes a safety who's down the box or accounts for another man, so Saquon's able to get it and get it, but like, Jurgen's coming. It has to be. Sorry, it has to be so much fun for him, like for me to watch it from afar. A guy who's, you know, been on a struggling team for a while, always been a great player, always left it on the field, just never had that team successful. To see him go and to know how much fun this has to be week in and week out, scoring 75 yard touchdowns, winning all these games, it just, it has to be so incredible and he has to be having the time of his life. Look at offensive lineman sprinting down there. Look at that. Landon Dickerson at 350 pounds right there. Yeah. 25 yards down the field. It's like Jurgens has come in for Jason Kelsey and they've obviously Jason Kelsey goat conversation for offensive line and center and all that, but they lose him and everybody thinks, are they still going to be able to do. Are they going to be able to do he's been great. And the team. Nick Sirianni loves running the Rock. He's been fantastic. Their whole group is. And they got Jordan, my lotta back at left tackle. He's healthy. Finally, their whole group's healthy. Cam Jurgens had a play this past game where he had a. He had a nose guard to his right, slanted across his face, passes off the thing, spins around, still picks up the linebacker on the screen. That broke it for 25 yards. I was like, it was a pretty impressive play. Same position, different style. I'm curious your thoughts because I, I think this is. I think strength coach is more so college than NFL, but it's still extremely important. NFL, but I think offensive line coach is hands down one of the most underrated position coaches, coaches in general in the entire league. I think that's a place where not enough teams put emphasis put just that needs to be the perfect hire. And it's not somebody you can just put in there and hope that they do a good job. Couldn't agree more. And Jeff Stoutland of the Philadelphia Eagles is, I think, in my opinion, the best in the game. He's made it through three different head coaches. Now at this point stays in Philly as a mainstay, but he is fantastic. Hank Fraley in Detroit, former player, used to play for the Philadelphia Eagles under Andy Reed. Same thing. So they got two of the best and guess what? They got two of the best offensive lines. Yeah. And best offensive lines lead to the best teams. Normally that is. That is kind of how we're learning and seeing through a Q's eyes season. I love that Lions team. And you talk about it's hard not to say they're the best because they're beating the out of people. It's like the record after you play the Lions tough. It's like a hangover. You got like a Lions hangover against another team with a great offensive line. Like, I don't like to admit it because I'm a defensive lineman and obviously we have our battles with the offensive line, but when your team has a good offensive line and they have good chemistry and they have that good rapport and they kind of have that, they're badasses. They'll beat the shit out of people on the field, but they're also fun guys to hang out with off the field. They'll slam some beers with the boys. When you have that, that's when you have a great team. And it really is like that nucleus does make such a difference in the entire team. I Just looked it up. Looks like it's 1 in 11. The week after playing the Lions, Tampa got a win. Okay, so it is like a hangover. I mean, it's, hey, good luck. You just got your ass beat by this team and then you're going to have to recover and play another game next week, which is the NFL season. Season. It's hard not to say this is the Lions. This is the Lions here. Yep. And speaking of the offensive line, my favorite thing that they can do, it'll be third and six, third and eight. They will run the ball. It doesn't matter. They'll convert. And if they don't, guess what, fourth and two, they're going for it no matter what. So there's always a chance of the run. That's what opens up the play action. Pass. That's why golf is so good. It all circulates so much. And to you guys, point Lions, Eagles would be an absolute smash mouth football game in the playoffs. Explosive. It'll be awesome. That's the most demoralizing thing, I think, for a defense, and JJ can probably speak more to that. But it's like when it's third and two, you're almost expecting pass. When you play the Lions and it's third and seven, they might just run a casual inside zone and pick up eight. And it's like, what just happened? Yeah, I can't pack the box. So you have your third down teams, you know, hey, let's send in this. Let's send in this. Well, actually, they might just. Yeah, run it down. Last year in the NFC championship against the San Francisco 40 90ers, it was third and nine. Golf check to a run. And Gibbs ran it outside. First down, no problem. Yeah, Jade, you guys can't stop it, huh? It's, it's, it's frustrating because we're like, all right, we finally got him. Third and long. Third and seven, third and nine. Like we can run our exhaust. Let's let the dog. Let the dog off the leash. Let's get in the pass rush stance. Usain bolt out of the blocks and then son of a. Just right underneath you and you come back to the sideline. Your coach is like, like what? Retrace. Get like, hey, hey, it's third and eight. All right. I don't care what you say, I'm rushing the passer. I'm sorry, I'm not expecting a run on third down. I'm gonna be getting after that. Look at old quick finger foxy right there pulling up a third day run. Yeah. They had a couple of them that game. All right, Foxy, put it on the line back. Just throw it on. Hey, make a tackle, huh? A.J. can you make a T tackle for me one time, please? Yeah, it's their job. I didn't know that's what happens on the defensive side of the ball. That makes sense, you know, D lineman blaming linebackers. I assume linebackers blaming safety. Safety's supposed to fail. Yeah, that's right. We just passed the buck back. I like that move. Not bad at all. I like Lions and like Eagles. Nfc? Very. Yeah. I mean, the Vikings and I was gonna. That's. That's what is so impressive. Like, the Lions are like historically dominant right now, and they're playing in like a historically good division. I mean, they got two other teams that are 9 and 2 and 8 and 3. They have to keep going. And they're still, you know, like, there's. There's no talk of, like, hey, you know, like the Vikings or the packers, like, they might. It's like this is the Lions division, but, you know, they only got a game lead right now. Yeah. And I mean, a two week slump, you're no longer division champ, no longer home playoff. Right. It's like. And then you can have home field advantage if you just win your division. Right. Yeah. Is kind of what happening in the NFC North? Obviously the Eagles can catch up and do their thing. Let's talk about the Fox. You got boots on the ground up there. You got. What's the. What's the vibe like in Detroit right now? Are people starting to kind of expect this or is this still euphoria? Is this like where people are just out of their minds loving it, or are they kind of like, yeah, this is who we are now? Yeah, it's a little bit of both. I would say it's definitely expected to win now, which has never happened as a Lions fan in any of our lifetimes, but also, like, have to enjoy this. The biggest thing, though is just you don't want to see any drop off. You don't want to see any injuries going into the playoffs. And also, like, the expectation is a Super Bowl. There is nothing else more that we need, like, want less than a Super Bowl. So that's kind of just changed the entire mindset of the franchise and the fans. I will say this about Lions fans versus other teams that just got good that have been bad for a long time. I think Lions fans are the most reasonable. I hope so. That's because they're talked about. Yeah. They also don't really know what to do with it yet. Like the Lions fans I talked to, not the ones that Foxy knows this past weekend because the city was filled with them. They're like, we're nine and one. This is incredible. I'm like, no, it's not the angle, buddy. You guys are the best team in football. Forget about the record, okay? You guys are the best. You're saying they don't even know how to talk shit they don't know how to do. You're trying to make them insufferable. Yeah, I'm trying to help. I'm like, no, no, forget about the record, man. You guys are the best team in football. Go with that. But I'm just talking about inter. Internet. Like, oh, yeah. Interactions. They're awesome. Like, there's other teams that have not been good, that get good, and then their fans are, like, the worst. Oh, yeah. No, I agree. I agree. Their fans seem to be phenomenal. I'm trying to get boots on the ground. I want to get to Detroit for a game. I want to see what it's like. I might. I might pop up there for Thanksgiving. Who's performing at halftime? Let's make sure we get a little bit more money invested in the halftime show. Remember what happened last year? He had no shot. What? They put that little plastic. He was walking on paper. It appeared, and allegedly we were told this. I don't know if it's true, but that wasn't on the Lions. That was actually on Jack Harlow, which is bad news, too, because if it's on Shabuzi, you know what Shabuzi is going to do since they're not letting him play any other song. No, he needs to play others. Well, guess what? They're not letting them. They're saying no. Go sing the Whiskey song. He's not going to do anything. He might just stand on the field and shoot. Showman. Yeah. He puts on a great performance and they won't let him. He knows damn well he's got, like, five other songs that are all hits and nobody will let him sing them. No, nobody will let him sing it. It's always Give Me the Tips. This good news song that he has out right now. Banger. Absolute banger. Last of My Kind. Last of My Kind with Paul. Whatever. Last my Time. Like, I like Last of My Time. No, it's a bang. Like, he has hits, hits, hits. And every time, like, what? I mean, come on. It's being. It's a great song, but Thanksgiving halftime is multiple songs. Yeah. A Couple. Yeah. Except for Shabuzi. No, no, no. I'm trying to remember, is Thanksgiving halftime longer? Three songs. Three songs. It'll at least be three songs. Really? That 15 minutes, right? Because I think they'll, you know, because they start out on a song and then they change the song and they change the song better. See Dolly? Three songs you could fit because it's 12 minute half time, right? 12 minutes, yeah. Thanksgiving longer because of, you know, Thanksgiving. Will it be longer on Thanksgiving? Yeah, I don't know if it is. I've played in it twice. I don't remember it being longer. CT played it two times. Calm down. I'll give you cp. How about that? Already got it. That'll be two heads with CTE colliding is what Tone just said there. Jack Harlow setup was terrible. Yeah, terrible. Least pulled it up. We just had the. The clips there. Got it. Remember this? It's kind of sweet. So dumb. And then remember what Dolly had in Dallas? Dolly looks sick. Dolly had a star. I just went to. I just went to a Christmas festival lights thing with cola the other night that was significantly better than that. Yeah, well, you live in. Go down there near Houston. Yeah. You know, you live. You live in high society down there. You got good Christmas lights. He goes to the billionaire's houses. He actually does. He wrestles in her basement. I gotta drive to that street, which is where J.J. lives. Oh, so you're gonna. He said he's going to your neighbor's basements. Yeah, that's what he said he's doing. Drive to that street. He actually has a massive cars come and go from that house. I don't know what's going on. Yeah, they're all in the basement, but make sure they're all getting out there. Yeah, make sure they're all getting out of there. We're not worried about them going in. We're worried about how many are coming out. That's the big conversation. He's got a massive pickleball tournament Tomorrow morning. Morning, 8:00. Thanksgiving pickleball tournament at the club. Where? Arizona country club. Oh, oh. 8am Tomorrow. You're flying back in AC midnight. It's gonna be like a turkey trot. It's all right. I just. I just burned the candle. I'll be good. Partner. Is it partner? Partner. Pickleball? Yeah. Two on two. Who's your partner? Who's your partner? Should a buddy of mine that kids go to. Jeff Bezos. Got it. Oh, it's not Jeff Bezos. Brian Smith, perhaps? What are your Odds, like, do you have odds? I feel good about it. I feel good about it. Oh, good. Is there division? So, yeah, like it's. It's based off rating. So, like you're playing against guys of similar. Similar level. What's your rating? Like a 42 loser. Out of what? Out of what? Out of what? Now? Like. Like pros are like in the fives. I think they have a pro. I'm sick of the. Yeah, well, I think one is worth a lot. It's a. It's a big deal. Yeah, 0.1's a big deal. So like 5:2 is like top superstar. Who's that guy with that long hair that we remember? Peter Johns. Great. Pretty good. When he went out there, I mean, that was before the craze and he remember he had like the bag. Stone racket and everything. I forgot he was showing up. What time's the schedule? Game tomorrow. That's right. So are you cooking after this or is the cooking happening while you're at the tournament? Does the family come or is this just you? It's. Have you heard a little miss barbecue turkey? No, catering it in. Catering it in. Smoked turkey, catered in. Smart. Good move. No cooking. Yeah, no cooking. So you play better in this tournament the longer you're away from your family on Thanksgiving. But the more I sweat, the more I can eat. Ah, so it's a fine balance. Fine balance. Sauna. Fine balance. Yeah, I got sauna. I might have that thing cooking too. How many games potentially are we playing tomorrow morning? Three, four. Man. See, that's the issue. You're doing this show. You're in Indiana. There's some old. From the Arizona Country Club. He. Right now he's in tub. He's dinking too. Well, he might be in the middle of his kitchen work, but he is certainly getting a cold tub. He's getting a massage. He's got his. He's car blowing the night. Yeah, he's getting a full night's rest because he knows bed at 8pm no doubt. Yep. Former professional athlete AQ Shipley's coming in here. You got a target on your forehead. Yeah, I'm gonna get back around 12:30. We need these results. We need these results tomorrow. Airplane. Probably pop my back in the first. First game. Stream it. Stream this. Yeah, Put your phone up. All right. Make sure we get the full. Yeah, full. Full thing. Full thing. Let's not be kicking anybody in the head. Well, I was gonna say if you lose, though, don't viral video. Make a viral video. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Swift kick. What a moment. Do it. How'd that guy not come back at him? How do you not come back? Knocked out. He was dead. Knocked him buddy. I mean, his buddy. You need to send biz over there to help him out. Biz was the one who kicked us. It's a problem. That's a problem in today's world. We need to. Need to bring that back a little bit. You need. If something goes down, you need to get the shit kicked out, you know, and then go to jail. Just like what happened to Houston's. Yes. That was awesome. Yeah, that was great. In 2024, I mean, that's exactly how you would hope. Some hand. These six are hated by everybody. We all hate these people. They got their asses beat, and they're the ones getting punished. Now they're all going to try to sue biz. You know, they are trying to sue biz. Good luck. They are. That is certainly going to happen, especially if they know and find out who Biz is. They're going to figure out a way. I think they know by now. I think they know. I don't know how long they're in jail. The guys got out of jail. Probably not long. I would assume out. How about them in jail and everybody in jail going, one guy. One guy did all this. Good Lord. Holy. We got fat fish in. In room four here. Oh, my. Think about that conversation between them. Just afterwards, it was like, dude, why didn't you grab his legs? Like, we would have taken the top. Like what? But then he spun that one time it right in the face. Was there multiple guys? Did you see two guys? A lot of silence. What happened? Two, three guys there, right? I think I saw. No, I was all one guy. Just shaking your head no. All right, let's. Where did the seventh go? How come there's only six of us in here? Who the hell is Carl? I didn't see him get punched in the face. I saw all. You get punched in the face by one. Two guys. What was that one guy? I didn't see Carl, though. Yeah, he hit. Probably right idea. That group of friends. They got to move, right? Yeah. They're out of there. They got to move. They can't go in public for a while. Yeah. What are their names? No, no, no. Let's move back to the NFL. Con man has a question for you. Yeah, jj, Speaking of Houston's, what's going on with the Texans here? Obviously, you know, the. The Titans have a very good defense, but Houston's been struggling as of late. Are you worried at all about the Texans or because it's the middle of the season, kind of that little stretch where teams can struggle a bit? Are you not worried at all and they're going to close this thing out strong? I think they'll close it out strong. I believe in him. I believe in Tamiko and what he's doing and that entire staff and all the players down there. There's no question it's a rough patch at the moment. Just little things. It's, you know, this game, it's a tough one. You know, you get eight sacks, seven up in the first half, you get a pick six, a couple fumble recoveries, and you still don't close out a division opponent at home. It's just that's not the type of stuff that before the season any of us thought was going to happen. Obviously, we have all these high expectations, these high hopes, and these are the type of games you expect them to close out. No problem. Problem. I would much rather it happen now than later. I'm hoping that it's a learning experience. There's no question that, you know, there's some issues with penalties for sure, some offensive line things, but middle of the season is when you get all that stuff cleaned up and get it corrected. And I believe D'Amico is the right guy to do that and carry him into the playoffs stronger than they are right now. A lot different this year than last year, you know, and obviously injuries at different places. As you. You chatted about numerous times in the past. It's at AFC south wild right now, brother. And AMC south is always wild, man. It's always wild. Like the AFC South. I feel like, like the NFC south is a little bit similar where it's like these teams are always kind of fighting. You never know what's going to really happen. I still believe that the Texans have a very firm grab. I mean, we have. We're 2 and 0 on you guys. We're the closest team. Obviously the Titans and Jags are out of it. So, I mean, it's. It. Let's not act like it's like a grab bag here. Hey, the Colts brother are playing. Yeah, what about. They hate you. You hate them. What's going on? That has all been. You guys made up. That's all water. It's perfect. Thanksgiving time of the year. Everybody hates each other, but we're all going to come around the table and hash it out. Festivus for the rest of it. Now, actually, this Thanksgiving, it's all water and a bridge. True. You Know, which is actual Thanksgiving mindset. Yeah. Sunday, I look around, I'm thankful and I'm grateful, you know, for everything that I have. And I'm lucky that I live in Indianapolis. And yeah, this Colts team, sure. Some things have happened and pictures have been posted on thumbnails and a lot of has been talked about, I assume, which is why that thumbnail was chosen to be what it was. But other than that, all good. Hey, I'd be upset too, if I was them. Tough one Sunday, though. Can't lose the next one. Well, the lions, you know, 1 and 11 after playing Detroit Lions. Now we got to the New England Patriots. Colts should win this game. They should. Colts are going to win this game. But will they Colts are going to win this game? I don't know, man. Yeah. Think about it. Yeah, they're moving on and moving forward. Yeah, they are moving forward. Ain't that right, J. J? You better watch it because they got the Patriots and they got to buy. Then they got three teams that are not good. Right? Yeah. Is that kind of how it goes? Well, the Broncos. Yeah, the Broncos look pretty good defense. Yeah, we thought that's a big one. We thought we had a lot easier schedule than the Broncos all of a sudden become couple rookie quarterbacks going in. It's a real, real team. This is a real. The Broncos are real deal, brother. Bo Nick's their future. They're without, what, 40 some million on the salary cap because of Russell Wilson. And they got it Cortland Sutton seemingly scoring touchdowns at will at this point. I mean. And Bo Nicks has got it. Oh, line o. Line's good. Yeah. You can stop going in Denver, man. That's a place like. I like Denver. I love it. They're building that brand new practice facility which looks unbelievable. It's already a great spot right there. It's. I mean, they get rolling. Bo keeps playing like this. Like free agents will want to play there. It's a great spot. I mean, Peyton wanted to go there. Like, allegedly. There was some other deals that were much nicer at other places. But then once he got out to Denver and he saw where he could potentially live and where his family could grow up and what the building looks like and everything. He's like, I love this place. Yeah, Bo's a real deal. Bo is real deal. And I think we saw his development throughout the season, and I think early nobody was expecting anything from Bo or the Denver for Broncos, not only because of his performances, but just because, like, these dudes have a quarter of the amount of money they're allowed to spend to create their, their entire roster. And at this point, Bo's gotten better. Sean Payton's gotten better, obviously with how he handles the offense and who he puts where and then the defense is going to be great. That's just kind of what we know now with Vance. It's like this team's. Now they happen to be in the Chiefs division, so. And the Chargers. Yeah. And the. If the Los Angeles Chargers continue to and do what we all expect them to do. No J.K. dobbins. That sucks. Yeah. Gus Edwards coming off one of his best games of the year. That AFC west is a loaded, loaded like the Raiders stink. They're the only ones, though. Yeah, they're the only ones that seemingly don't have it figured out. That J.K. dobbins news is a bummer. I'm bummed out about that. It was reported, I believe this morning or last night. J.K. dobbins has sprained knees. I think Schefter's report is he's week to week moving forward and he'll be out against the Falcons as they are two and a half point favorites in Atlanta this weekend. JK's having resurgence. JJ. I mean, this is a, this is a hit to this Chargers team that is a pound rock team. And J.K. dobbins became their pound the rock guy. How much was he averaging before? You heard seven yards of carry against the Ravens number one running defense. So. Oh, no yards. Good yards per carry. These types of injuries late, important. Yeah, you play good defense. You play good defense, keep points off the board. You still have Justin Herbert sling that ball around a little bit more. Be. Be all right. I mean, it's a tough division, like you said. It's not that division is, is brutal, but it's when you play good defense, you can do a lot of things, especially late in the year. And Jesse Minter has that defense playing good ball and they'll be hard. Okay. I like to hear that too about the Chargers. We love that team. Let's talk about another injury that is very significant potentially to all the football. AQ has a question for you. Yeah, we talked about the Philadelphia Eagles offense earlier. Let's talk about their defense. Brandon Graham tears his tricep out for the year. Might be career at this point. He's had a hell of a career. But when you were watching the game the other night, he's, he moves inside, he's playing three technique. You're getting production from somebody other than Jalen Carter for once. Right. How big of a loss is this huge man? Huge. Because, like, he's also just like a heart and soul guy of that team. Not only is he playing fantastic football right now, I mean, he's getting stripped sacks, he's playing. He's playing like a young guy out there. He's making impact plays in the game, but he's also just kind of who you associate with the Eagles and he's everything about that organization. You associate him with the Super Bowls, you associate him with the big plays and, you know, inside that locker, him. The love that they have for him, the love he has for that organization, he kind of bleeds that Philly green. So to not have that guy out there is extremely tough. You saw it when he was talking about it, how. How much it means to him and that I feel like, especially in Philly, when you have that connection with the city. Obviously Jason Kelsey had it. There's a few major guys that have had that in the past. But when you have that connection with the city of Philly, who's so hard to win over over, that is a deep and real and special connection. And he's a tough, tough loss form. But it's also one of those where you feel like the guys are like, let's go out there and win a form. Like, let's get. Let's get this guy another ring. Yeah. He's a dog. Brandon Graham. He's the longest tenured. Right? What they say. Yeah. Yeah. I forget what the history is after. Oh, oh, right. On the team right now or overall. Overall. I forget what the. There were some tweets that were talking about that you're talking about, like, legendary Philadelphia ever. No. Somewhere in the list. It was. I didn't get all. Yeah, I would imagine he's probably somewhere on the list. Okay, J. Thanks, bud. I know the big thing last year was, like, the only three they had left were Fletcher Cox, Jason Graham and Jason. Yeah. Yeah. So. And they were all on list. Okay, Shut up, J. Everybody's on list. Well, yeah. Which list? Rhyme with bitty. What is it? Or. Or Pepsi. No. Pepsi. No. What's it rhyme with? That's. That's roofies over here. That's. That's. Oh, man. List. Yeah. They're great. They are. Listen, right, we need to learn more. I'm still b. I hate. I'm still reeling from that comment last week. Watch the. When AJ Age was just rattling off letters and, oh, he just immediately went straight to Rufelin. That was a wild. That was. I wasn't Ready for it in the news for a while. We're talking about HGH and I think the gh really. AJ didn't hear the first one. And he goes gh. And you said you had some people in your life who were roofied themselves. I don't know if you can or not. He anonymous, but those stories you can share because I'm so. There was an NFL legend that was doing that. Actually, I don't want to say any names. Oh, yeah, there was a. A legendary NFL player that was allegedly purposely roofing yourself. Yeah. I mean, that's when he gets to the point of advantage. You're just trying to get so up like you're just trying to figure out ways to get teleported up. Yeah. To tomorrow. Yeah. Yep. Time travel. Yeah. Let the body do what it. Yeah. And that's when everybody knew there was potentially a problem. But yeah, I've heard of people, actually. So when age says he's heard of people. I've only heard of one person. I didn't know the person personally. I've talked to two people that did it and they. They claim it was their greatest feat in the history of their life when they were able to get themselves out of a car fully inebriated. And they said like, I was so much. I realize I'm so much more powerful than I even thought I was. See, that's like how. But they didn't do it like these people. I'm not saying these people. Role models. They're not role models. No, they are not clearly models. Obviously nowadays. They said it was scary. They said it was very scary. Obviously. I think like that was the big fear, the rufl in there for a while. Okay. Watch roof. No doubt. Watch roofies. That was crazy. There was a time where you could not. Oh, you had to napkin on top of the drink. Yeah. And it's like, well, who's. And that's still the situation. It should be. Right. You would hope. I mean, you would. You would hope there. These. Nowadays, I mean, obviously Roofy's terrible, but like all these drugs can potentially kill you. Oh, yeah. You know, like all of them nowadays, it's a whole different world. And J. I know you don't know anything about that as you were trying to sculpt yourself into a 6 foot 7, 250 pound 0% body fat guy. But you know, in some good time circles, people use that. It's very interesting to learn about. Well, nowadays, I think that's the biggest issue going on there. There's like, like hundreds of Thousands of people dying from these drugs that are just laced with fentanyl. And it's over. It's like, this is a very real thing that has kind of taken out. I don't want to say a lot of a generation, but, I mean, there's. I don't want to say attacked either, but. Because they're making decisions to do it, but it's like, can't do it. There's just. No, can't do it. Can't. Got it. Which is good, I think, in the long run, obviously. But it's crazy that that has become the thing in this world. I know. It's. I. I have a daughter, obviously. We all have kids. It's like, I have no idea what to even. Hey, it should be good. No. So eat that. No, don't eat. Don't. Whoa. That's good for. Well, now I'm here and we're getting poisoned by this, and it's like, what? Who's. That's how Roger's best friend is going to help us out. Hell yeah. It's crazy, though. That's like the. It's like the Halloween candy thing. I've never understood that. Wouldn't it be super expensive to be put. Putting stuff into kids candy? Like, who's doing that? Well, exactly. The real thing is anybody ever. Some men just want to watch the world burn. Yeah. There are some sickos out there, man. Which is crazy that. It is very real. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, on this Thanksgiving, let's be thankful that the world's getting better. Oh, yeah. But we gotta deal with. We have to deal with. That's right. Accordingly. Make the world. It's not a worse place. Come on. Yeah. Let's do. Let's handle things. Like biz. Speaking of handling things, there's something brewing in there. There is. I read a little something that said something's brewing big time. Ty, do you know what's brewing? Yeah, I think it might have something to do with Miles Garrett basically saying like, hey, listen, J.J. watt and T.J. watt bumping their gums has kind of fueled me to become the player that I am. And then you kind of put the stat out, like, hey, listen, I. I don't want any beef with Miles. I'm simply just stating the facts here, showing the stats. So I'm just curious, like, when did you guys start hating each other's guts? Are you guys gonna, like, Box Allah, Tyson and Jake Paul? How's. How's this whole thing and what's going on here? What happened? I mean, I'm Curious. I've never. I've literally never said a single bad thing about the guy. What happened? Well, he just basically said, your reaction. How you guys handle it. Bummed him up. Find one negative comment I've ever said about the man, please. I literally only speak positively about him. I would love you to find a comment. The tweet they put in the story actually is maybe one of the most kind and worded things I've ever seen a brother say to somebody that won an award over one of their brothers. I don't know if we have it. Do we have it? Yeah. Boom. Everybody is asking for my opinion on defense player of the year. I get it, okay? I'm fucking JJ Watt and I'm in the media. Want a bunch of these? Want a bunch of these. The problem is I have no interest in tearing down mg, which we can only assume for argument's sake, that's Miles Garrett. Left out the K, so it's not Machine Gun Kelly. Sure. Okay. Good call, Miles. Oh, here it is. He clears it up. Miles. The M and M G, right here. Next sentence. Miles is a phenomenal player. I'm a big fan, and he's had an incredible career so far. I can acknowledge that this is. With all due respect, I can acknowledge that while also wondering, wondering what more could my brother that I grew up with could have done to win another defensive player of the year? Then you put out, Obviously, these per 10 snaps. This is also from a year ago. Like, where. Why is this being brought up now? I'm very confused because after those bananas against the Steelers, he says to a bronze insider or something along those lines that, like, yeah, if you would have motivated that, you know, because normally people are happy for people, but it didn't feel like you guys were happy for kind of the gist of it. Yeah, Yeah. I mean, I've come on this show and praised him before. I've gone on CBS and praised him many times before. I've tweeted many positive things about him, like, the guy's an unbelievable player. Have never once in my entire life said, he is not a phenomenal player. So I. I don't. I don't know what more you want me to say. Literally, really only praise the guy. Thank you for clearing that up. Hell yeah. Same, same. The other, like, TJ's never said a negative thing either. So, like, I. I'm. I'm very confused as to why. Like, there's zero negativity towards Miles Garrett. He's a great football player. Might just be finding something that's very nice. Yeah, he's just looking for a chip. Looking for him. No problem. I mean, I apparently did it for the Jets a few weeks back. Whatever anybody needs it know. What do you say about the Colts? No, no, no. Patriots. No, you. You do it. You do it for the Colts. You got. You do it plenty. You. Sounds like you piss them off. Doesn't work, though. I try. I lost my. I think I just spit. Anybody see that? There's a little projectile spit coming out. Getting worked up. Yeah. Talk about getting worked up. Was your suite ever in jeopardy? I mean, I feel like. I feel like your fandom might have been in jeopardy in the limbo for a minute. What do you think? You think like me choosing not to get it again? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Certainly, certainly, certainly. What's Houston situation? Yeah, yeah. What's going on down in Houston? Are you. We're seven and five. We're two. Zero against you guys this year. What, you're gonna try to manufacture an argument? No, no, no, no. Opposite, opposite. You got Sweets available. Sorry, that was immediate defense. I mean, that's because Ty kind of came out after you there a little. Well, I mean, I wasn't coming after him. Kind of just relaying what. What people. Other people are saying. We are happy that you all get along. Guys are all great football players. A lot of great defense. Player of the years in that conversation. When you're in that conversation, you're in hall of Fame conversation. And we don't need beefing. No beefing. You know, we want love special on Thanksgiving. With that being said, Miles Garrett guy would not want beef with ever. No doubt. No doubt. But then you remember JJ Was saying with J. J. When he's posting that photo from his garage. Huh? Where his lats look like a cape. You remember that? Yeah. Don't want beef with that guy. Man, he was glistening. You remember that, J? Yeah, yeah. He just always has a squirrel suit on. Yeah, yeah. Do you still look like that or. No, it's Thanksgiving. You eating a little bit too much? No, I'm. Tomorrow I'm gonna eat every single thing on the plate. But I work out to earn that, so. Yeah, I look like that. Don't worry about it. We asked. We were talking about this earlier. Earlier. Do you think you're one of the biggest. What's the word? Holy. Where are you going? Holy. Holy. That's old. Yeah. The channel on your chest. That's £30 ago. That's £30 ago. I think that I'm the exact same weight now as I was in that photo. Do you look the exact same? Composed slightly differently, but no. Yeah. I mean, Jesus must be done, like, after work. Thankful. Must be done. Thankful to be JJ Watts body. Geez Louise. Good for you, dude. Anyways, you think you're one of, like, the most tough guy tough guys of all time? No. No. One time on this show, you said, if I walk into a room and I don't think I could beat everybody's ass in there, that's a problem. And that's why I work out the way that I do. Do you. Do you remember saying that? And now? Absolutely. Yeah, I believe that. Yeah. But, like, I'm not like, the guy that's, like, walking in, like, oh, I'll. I'll fight anybody here. Let's start a fight. Like, I. I will if I have to. Like, if I saw biz the situation going down, I'm stepping in helping biz. But no, I'm not, like, I'm not like, the tough guy tough guy. Like, but I also. When you're retired, people start to forget real quick. I don't know if you feel this or not. People start to talk a little more and you're like, hang on a second. Now you need a reminder. Like, do you need a real quick reminder? That's real tough guy, tough guy respond. That pisses me off. Yeah, exactly. What can they say to you people? You tell me. Random people are saying things to you like, that change. You look a little weak. No, but there's like, there'll be little Connor, like, whoa, whoa, easy. Connor called you fat, right? That's not true. I never said that. Right. I think. I think my son could take Connor. Oh, yeah, he could do Connor. When's the last fight you've been in? Was it when you're playing hockey for old LA over there? You played lacrosse? A lot of fights in the cross. Honestly, couldn't even tell you I'm a lover, man. I don't know. You can't have a bullet. Not fight, man. You can't have a. No, it's 20, 24. I mean, he's a lover. It's Thanksgiving. These are good things. These are positive times. I'm co. Speaking of positive times, let's go to Ohio, make announcement out of Bengals building, which I think is a big deal. Good. Let's remember who the Steelers play this week before you give your answer. Okay, J. We don't need any motivation for the Bengals this week, but they got their ping pong tables back in their locker room this week. They earned Them back after the chart. I just said don't la. Don't motivate. No. I love the ping pong tables in the locker room. So do all good teams have ping pong tables in the locker room? And do bad teams not have ping pong tables? Is that how works? No. I hate these conversations every time they come up because, like, it'll be like, coach took basketball hoop out of the locker room. They're getting real serious now. Or like, ping pong tables. The camaraderie is the best because you could. You could have it either way. An unbelievable team could have a ping pong table in their locker room and you might never know about it. Or that people write articles. Their team chemistry is so good because they play ping pong together and that's what bonds them. You could have the exact opposite way. This team stinks because all they do is play ping pong in the locker room together. Like, Newsflash. There are 24 hours in a day. If you go to your meetings, you pay attention. If you go out to practice and you work hard. If you do your work in the weight room and you study your film, there are plenty more hours in the day to be doing other. So I'm sick of everybody who's like, oh, you can't be like, you can. You can play ping pong if you want. And it is a good thing for teammates to play with each other. Now, if you're only playing ping pong, then there's a problem. If you suck and you're playing ping pong before you go to your meetings and before you do all your work, then that's a problem. But no, let's not say that ping pong is the reason anybody stinks. Good for them. They got their ping pong. How are you at ping pong? You're a pretty good player, I assume. I'm okay. Bruce Ellington was a teammate of mine who was very, very good at ping pong. He taught me some tricks that were very helpful. So my brothers and I are very competitive. Ping pong. Yeah. You could be just a backboard with your reach. You know, you could just get it back over the net. I do play double handed, so, like, instead of going backhand, I pass to the left. Yep, me too. Yeah, so I got two forehands. I don't. Are yours good? I have a real bad left forehand. No, I. I palm it. So if it goes to my left, I palm it. I can't. I can't grab the handle. So I just palm. Oh, my God. Wow. I'm just peppering your. I mean, that, that. So every time I'm just getting a fat back over the net and then it's bang. Good night. But with spin. There's a little spin like I put spin on when it comes back. What a great sport. Table Pat does it in pickleball, too. It's a weapon. Yeah, I am a. I'm a past battle, but I like that. I like that a lot, though. I'm not. This isn't a give up shot. This is a. What's your serve? Like, what kind of serve are you putting out there? You tell me, brother. You know, you tell me. Yeah, I love ping pong. I. I thought I was. Okay, one point to win. What's your serve? Howard? How do you. I'm going top spin to your backhand. Throwing high top hand, top spin to your backhand. Then you're palming that thing. That thing's popping straight up in the air. And then I'm literally crow hopping into this thing. Boom. Right? Like, that is probably what I'm doing. Bjorn Werner showed up from Germany. And I think in Germany they play table tennis, like, a lot. Like, I think that is like something a lot of family. Bjorn Werner showed up at the Colts building and he humbled me so quick. And then I realized you could get better. And I bought the ping pong machine. Machine. You know that thing that shoot. This is. Oh, no way, dude. You got the thing that fires them at you. Yeah, yeah. Shut up. Swear to God. Yeah, still got it. I swear to God. Yeah, yeah, still got it. But that's what Bjorn Werner did to me in front of the whole team. You know how some of those games go? Everybody's watching. You know everybody's watching. It's either right outside of a meeting, so everybody's either walking by, stopping, seeing how things are going. The cornhole boards, another great, great addition to the locker room. I didn't even know that sport again existed. And then gets dropped in a locker room. It's like, well, you guys are in meetings. Guess I'm working. Yeah, I'm working. Oh, you had to be doing it all the time. That's special specialty. Oh, yeah, treatment. Okay, done with treatment. I'm gonna go through a cornhole for hour and a half, two hours. And then when they come out of the meetings, some people are gonna want to play. We'll see how it goes. We'll see how it goes. I should be pretty dialed in, but those are great for the building. I don't know how teams Don't. Don't have them. Like, what do you do? It's the best. Like, mini hoops are big nowadays. Mini hoops have become real big. Well, it's a lot of talking, too. It's like, you know, for me, punter, so if I do well in that, obviously you earn a little. A little bit. But also the amount of talking and moments that are happening, you have to have those good times. Just like Thanksgiving. Have a great one. We'll continue on YouTube, ESPN plus and tick tock Live. We'll make our picks in our Ram Trucks. We'll see you on Monday. Have a good one. Yeah, we did, J. Yeah, we did. Nice. That felt pretty good. Should have gave more of a happy Thanksgiving send off. They knew it. We talked. We talked about it. Yeah, should have gave. All right, J, before we let you get out of here, we can't thank you enough for joining us. We settled the Miles Garrett beef. We paid tribute to Brandy Graham. We talked about the Houston Texans. Oh, yeah. Then obviously, we just chatted about festivities inside the locker room. Yeah. We talked about old school stuff that happened back in the day that can't happen happen anymore. And we talked about Thanksgiving. But now we talk about what other people want to talk about. It's become a nice little Wednesday tradition. Yeah. Put out a good morning, beautiful people tweet. Happy Thanksgiving Eve. How you doing? It's Wednesday. That means J.J. watts coming on. Do you have any questions for the future hall of Famer? And Connor will scan through them. All you got to do is put the hashtag Ask J in there and send your questions away. It got up to the number three trend on X this morning in the United States. Yeah. Whose body is that? Whose body is it? Go back to the Ask Jade graphic, please. Body is. That's you? What? That is your hand. I mean, I am pasty white. There is no question about it. But those arms are not my arms. No, that is a photo. We don't have the capability of taking your head off and putting on somebody else's body. No. What are you talking about? Look at those fingers, too. I don't know how these fingers got so many sacks. Look at those things. Look at the biceps. Ooh, getting a little flabby. Huge. Oh, guys. Getting a little flabby out there. Jeez. Thanksgiving. What the hell is that, man? That's J.J. watt. You're J.J. watt, and this is AskJ. Connor. A lot of entries. Yeah, Fantastic ones. A lot of Thanksgiving ones. A couple about trade deadline day that people were still curious about. But skipped over those a lot of Thanksgiving. Okay, so we'll do the football ones first, then we'll get into the Thanksgiving ones. First question here from James at 15. Higgins overall thoughts on this year's rookie quarterback class and who do you think will be the best player long term? Hashtag ask. J. The long term question hasn't been brought up a lot about these rookie quarterbacks. J. Who do you think is going to develop and become the best long term quarterback of this rookie class? That's a really good question because deep I am a big believer that coaching and organization and everything around you determines how good you're going to be. Obviously we've seen Caleb this last couple weeks or this week in a different. With a different offensive coordinator. What will he look like down the stretch with that with possibly a different staff in the future? Who knows? That is a massive determining factor. I don't know. Jalen. Jaden, sorry. Started out the year so strong. A couple little stumbles here, but we'll see. And obviously Bo playing extremely well. If I was going right now and you made me pick, I'm going Jaden Daniels. Who? I'm sorry. Jaden. Jade. Really? Because Cliff Kingsbury. I don't know. Like, I just, I like, I like the way he swings it. I like the confidence that he's got. I like some of these late game like, like that at the end of this last game, that pass of Terry McClure was incredible. And like the Hail Mary, obviously it's a Hail Mary, but still just, he's just got something. He seems to have a little bit of that juice to him. He does have the Danny, the swag. He got the moxie that you're looking for. I think maybe. I mean that that pass was so awesome. The one that Terry McClure and then missed the extra point. Brutal. But that, that play was insane. Absolutely brutal. I mean just absolutely heartbreaking. 33 seconds left. Down seven. What are you going to do with it? Rook? Let me drop a dime. And then this was on bad D yesterday for everything. DB from Darius Butler. I guess there was only like five guys on the Cowboys defense that kind of had a loaf or a in this entire thing. Whenever you broke down the film on what who was supposed to cover what. But yeah, you're right, I guess to have the composure, the moxie to drop that in the dime. And also for us, I think we're watching. We thought maybe he would. Yeah, right. Absolutely. We thought Jane Daniel maybe so quickly he has become a guy that we have Faith and belief in. I think he'll be good. I think there's a chance. Drake May is good. Yeah. Now depending upon the situation, you know how it goes. B Knicks with Shawn Payton like looks really good. That's a situation where we know that Sean and a quarterback have done well together for a long time. Cliff Kingsbury, how long will he be with Washington? Jaden. Then up in New England, how long will that offense remain that way? So for me, if I was to project 10 years from now, even though this is Ask J. I apologize. I do apologize. I would say you should have the most amount of faith just through history in Sean Payton and Bo for sure. Probably. Especially if they're going to continue to get more money. Yeah. As they go. But I think more people than one can make it this year. Great question there. Thank you for using the hashtag Ask J. I think his name was Holland. James Holland. Higgins. Higgins. Higgins. Higgins. Was it Higgins. Thank you. Had a baby. Jimmy Higgins. Jimmy Hay. All right, let's go to the next one, shall we? Connor went through and picked these. This is from Shaker is Izot. Shaker. Jj, You've somehow managed to burn the Thanksgiving turkey. Now it's up to you to pull off a last minute rescue. What's your go to backup dish to save the holiday? Hashtag Ask J. AustinConor. J.J. watt, you are Scott Calvin in Santa Claus. Brother. Bingo. Okay. And you can't say that you're just going to take it down to Perkins. Yep. You can't say you're going to do that. So what are you doing, J? And how are you in the kitchen? And will you be contributing tomorrow? I mean, you took my hand. I was going straight. I'm spending an absurd amount of money on doordash. I mean, I am just going to town on whatever restaurant is open, whatever, whatever fast food, donut shop, anything. I'm just absolute smorgasbording my kitchen counter with every food in town that's available at the moment. But if I can't do that, then I'm going through my own covers and I'm trying to. I mean, we're going straight to the freezer. I mean, there's got to be some, you know, waffles or something in there. I don't know, make up some chicken tenders. Putting every box of cereal on the counter. Put smoke out. I mean, we are just. I'm giving people options. Yeah. Bacon. Bacon and eggs. Like anything in the house is being offered. And I am just cooking whatever we got. And then you can say that you're trying something new. This thanks to you. Yeah. You know, as long as it doesn't smell. As long as everybody doesn't smell the burnt turkey, you can probably get away with it. If you were to doordash everything that was open. I don't know what all is open. There's quite a bit of Chinese. No, there's quite a bit. I'm going to eat for Thanksgiving tomorrow. There's a lot of places open. Excuse me. Are you really? Yeah. I'm going. We didn't want to. Where you going? Permanent. We didn't want to cook. We didn't want to host. We're gonna take the whole family out. Kind of love that move. Where do you know where you're headed? Yeah, it's called ihop. Nope. James. James. What are you Signed move. Like, there's definitely a part of me that loves it because it's like, yeah, you know what? Just. Just do what's. What's comfortable for you. Just do what's happy. But let's create some tradition. Let's create something. Show that is. This is. Yeah, but, like, that's it. You can do this. Like, you can do that. Prize sampler. Are you going to Fs piping H? A place called Pizza Cooper Hawk. Cooper's Hawk. Yeah. That's open tomorrow. Yeah. Good restaurant. Great. Is that could become a family tradition? Actually, I. Why is that place open tomorrow? What the. All right. I feel like that's becoming common also is places are just like, holidays and Sundays or whatever. Like, doesn't even matter anymore. Like, we are just open all the time. Chick Fil a. We can use a little more tradition. We can use a little more tradition. I appreciate Chick Fil A and what you guys have decided to do on Sundays, and I respect it. But also, Bob, spicy chicken sandwich on a Sunday afternoon would hit so hard. Yeah. So hard. Oh, my God. Remember the Lord saying anything about Chick Fil A having to be closed on Sundays? I don't remember Jesus saying he can't have delicious food on a Sunday. Me neither. I don't remember the opposite, actually. God bless him. Yeah. Amen. God bless him is right. And that's why we love it. Six days. They're crushing everybody. Oh, yeah. Six days of business. They're crushing everybody. Look how much money they're just leaving on the table. But they don't care about that. No. Well, what about ties? What about tides? Are we trying to pay some tides? Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Let's go to the next one. I'm getting frustrated, Chickfila. I know. They don't need to hear that right now. No, they don't. Let's go to Rudy. Bueno. Everything's good with Rudy. Hashtag ask J. Watt. Sport is the white family playing on Thanksgiving and who wins? P.S. how the hell do your massive arms fit in the toilet? To remove the sheet, you stand up. This is. I don't understand this. You sit down. Wipers are wild to me. I don't know how people do it. I think it's. What's that? I think he's talking about snaking the poop out of it when it's clawed. Chopping it up with his fingers. Okay, smart. We could get into a full conversation, I guess. There's people that sit down and wipe, too. I don't know how that. A lot of people. You go in this. How do you. How do you get in there? How is there even. Front wipe's a problem, man. I know some people that have front wipe. That's a problem. Can't do that. Can't do that. You know, our friends at Dude Wipes have really taken care of the wiping situation for people. But those who do it while sitting, I. I don't know how. What? Walk up a hill one time. Let's get some legs. Let's get a little bit of base there. But let's get back to the question that at hand. It's a Thanksgiving. What? Family celebration. Everybody's there. Nobody's a professional athlete anymore. Okay. Nobody's a professional athlete anymore. Everybody can kind of do whatever. There's no fear of getting hurt. What is the sport? And how's it going down? Yeah, no, it's. It's football. We play out in the front yard. Uncle Bill never wear anything but a short sleeve shirt, no matter if it's snowing. Negative tent. No matter what. No pants. He wears pants. No shirt pocket. He's talking little cakes when he goes to make a catch. He's not playing center, I hope. Yeah. Little Bill. Little Bill is full time. Center for center is fourth and short. We are not snapping the ball three yards backwards. We got a half inch to get. All right. Sorry, Uncle Bill. We. We appreciate the fact that you're talking silent count. You got to goose him. You got to goose him for the silent count, too. So. Uncle Bill, you're gonna win, though. You're gonna win that game. Definitely. You got a guy that. That, that. Is that tough? Definitely. Yeah. Geez, aq. Yeah. Why didn't you play like that when there a time you were trying to play without pants. Yeah, there's lots of times clock, of course. All right. Uncle Bill's tough, though. He doesn't care about the cold. He wears a T shirt and pants. And pants. And pants. Yeah. Uncle Bill, not full time center with no pants. Okay, so you guys actually play football? You like a sack lunch? Are we talking hot route? Yeah. Are we down? No, no, we play. We play. We play some real ball. It's fun. Obviously we haven't been able to recently, but it's. We. We played the turkey ball. It was awesome every year. So. So five, four on, I don't know how many watts. I just learned about Uncle Bill. He sounds like a legend. Absolute legend. How many watts are there? And what is the. Is it five on five, four and four? I mean, we have. There's kids in the family also, so it's, you know, you got. I think it ended up being probably five on five or six on six. You got a couple little kids on each team. And so you're. You played some. You can kind of tell which plays are legit play plays and which plays are like, all right, let's let the kids run around. But you, you do try and keep it competitive. And there are some real plays that go on. I mean, people. Uncle Bill's glasses have come off before. Oh, no, he's been. No glasses. Geez. Yeah, Uncle Bill's taking a business after a golf round. The. How old's Uncle Bill? If we had to just give a ballpark so we can kind of picture what this. I mean, now I'm trying to. I'm trying to figure it out now. 70. I don't know. However old the normal uncle Bill is. 65. I don't know. If you guys were to play this year. Uncle Bill's getting in there. Yes, he would definitely play. Bill Watson. I love this guy. William Watts. Holy. Yeah, I found a couple. Williams Makes a lot of sense. All right, let's go to the next one. All right. Andrew. Andrew J. We can only assume last name starts with J. Boom Jackson. Boom Jenkins. Boom Jordan. Boom Jensen. Could be any of those. Happy Thanksgiving. Andrew Jackson Jenkins Jordan Jennings. Hashtag ask J. Give us your ideal Thanksgiving meal using $25. And obviously you have the $5 items on the left there. They have $4 items and $3 and $2. Then a $1. And on the bottom, there are some stipulations on the bottom as well. Hawaiian rolls, I believe are a dollar. Gravy is two dollars. Okay, so do you want to take away Any of your dollars early to grab some Hawaiian roots. That a winner? Go ahead. They are a winner. There's no question. I'm just trying to do my math here in my head. I'm. I'm just going to go down. I'm going to go just dark meat. I'm going to go sweet potatoes. Hold on. Go. Casserole. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. So that's $4 plus 9. We're at 9. Oh, casserole. Okay. It's not 2, cuz I'm open for a green bean casserole there. Y. So that's 10. I love cream corn. So I'll go with the one there. Value add 11. Oh, I got some cash left here. Don't forget about the gravy corn. I'm gonna go Texas because. Because I don't want to. I don't want to go. Oh man, I can go with a lot here. Pecan pie. Okay. Come at 12. 12. Yep. Yeah. Look at. Hey, pecan pie is your favorite pie, right? Me? Yeah. Yeah. No, but it's up there. Okay. Just want to let you know it's a $1 pie in this person's eyes. I know. That's ridiculous. I don't know what this like cream corn. Being a dollar is insane. Yep, yep. Casserole being three is insane. Casserole. Being below corn is nuts. 10, 4. But I think corn is just like a traditional. For sure. Brussels sprouts will ruin Thanksgiving if you cook them in the house. It smell like death. Agree. We keep those out. Four bucks. That's wild. That's. Why is there a single person on the planet that's taking beats at all? No. The hell no Weirdos. Dwight Schrute. Bingo. Yeah. That's why they're one buck. But they're the same price as a wine roller. That's kind of. It's ridiculous. I mean, Andrew, I don't know if you made this or not, but you need to reorganize your family if this is how it's going at your house. Mr. Jackson Johnson. Jordan Jennings, please. We get a little bit revalued in this entire thing. For me, the apple pie is a winner. Gonna have to have that. Just dark meat, obviously. Good. But also had a ham in there. Sure. You know, so that's seven bucks. So you got. You got two meats. Yeah, I got 11 bucks out there. That's seven. So you got 11 bucks out there. Stuffing. Stuffing for sure. 17. That's 16. All right, well then I'm getting two Hawaiian rolls, cuz I'm a gentleman. My wife. Oh, it's 25. Yeah. Oh, my God. This guy sucks. Oh, I was going up 15. I was going 15. Pretty easy to do. Yeah. You can get everything for $25. Yeah. This guy's being generous. It's time. He's good. In my head, I got room for eight Hawaiian rolls. Yeah, definitely. I think seven bucks. Maybe get down to 18 bucks. Oh, 25 changes the whole thing. Sorry. Extra gravy. Is anybody paying three bucks for extra gravy? No, thanks. I don't think you need extra gravy. That implies you already have gravy, so I'm good. I don't need extra. How about them giving gravy for free? That's a big one. That is huge. Because if you talk to mashed potato fans, that is basically what the meal is. Don't need it. Have you seen that thing that says it's been going around the Internet that says it's like the national thing, that a Thanksgiving meal for 10 people costs $58? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Have we talked about that? We talked about this. I didn't see this. Yes, I didn't either. You did. No, I didn't. The way you said that. I know. I know that you did. Yeah, I saw that. What happened? Is there an angle to it I missed missing? Am I missing an angle? Well, I do believe this is potentially a. It's not that bad statement being made by one particular and then everybody being like, nah. Yeah, I think. All right. If I read the tea leaves accurately, whenever I saw the statement, too. When I'm paying 18 bucks for a coffee in the morning, you know, and I saw 58 bucks for Thanksgiving for 10 people whole. Holy shit. What am I doing? Yeah, what am I doing wrong? What store am I. I'm at the wrong place, I can tell you that. Yeah. I think everybody agreed. I think there was only one group of people that potentially put that out, and that was the people that. And then everybody was like, I don't think so. Fair enough. Fair enough. But that's one thing. Maybe don't talk about it. I want to make AJ Mad. Yeah. Oh. Oh. You don't make AJ mad. For what? What am I mad about? Yep. All right, J. Have a phenomenal Thanksgiving. We appreciate and are grateful for you, buddy. Hey, I really appreciate you guys. Every single day, every single Wednesday, we get together. Your audience is awesome to me, and you guys have been awesome to me. I'm very thankful. Hope you guys have a phenomenal day tomorrow. With your family, some great foods and great memories. I appreciate y'all very much. Thank you. Oh, yeah. That was very kind. I love that tough guy, tough guy saying stuff like that. We can all put our fork and knife down here. Here. Absolutely. Ladies and gentlemen, J.J. watt. J.J. so mad about the tough guy, tough guy. No, no, not true, not true. The word was hardo, but hardo has a negative connotation, so I didn't want to do that. Sure. Tough guy, tough guy tough. You're like a tough guy, tough guy to what he was. He's called Tommy tough guy. Like, oh, okay. A Tommy tough guy. See, that also has a negative. It does. So as I was presenting the question to him because we talked about the biz situation and we talked about, like, oh, that's like a J.J. watt dream. How many of those people out there, you know, we obviously mentioned your name as well, but then we remembered JJ's statement from if I'm not able to walk in a room, beat the. Out of everybody, that's a problem. Because we're like, why are you lifting the way you're lifting? If you're not going back to football, why are you still fight doing everything? I need to know. It was his answer, and that got mentioned earlier today, and it was like, yeah, he is tough guy, tough guy. He's a tough guy's tough guy. Once again, his first, like, action movie, but the way he looks, hopefully soon. Is he in red one? He has to be. Was it him that retired for. Let's get to a break. Let's get to a break. We'll get to a break. What do you mean, Tom, to what he said about people checking him? Like, about how people forget sometimes that happens with AJ every now and then from us. Yeah, yeah. Like, when he comes in here, like, give him a shoulder. Just walking by him. Holy. Yeah. All of a sudden, that hurt. Yeah. And he saw you doing this too, so he. Yeah, yeah. Tighten that thing. He was hitting you while you were hitting him. We didn't know. This is like when BRS walks up to me. Yeah. Bingo. Seeing that massive paw. Oh, I'm seeing. Seeing it, buddy. And I know this is a test. Flexed everything on the right side of my body. Boom. Hey, how you doing? That guy was trying to move me right there. That set the precedent for the entire conversation, maybe our relationship. Admit you say, do. Do I know you? What's that all about? How do I. How do I know you? Have you got the bottom of that? I have not. I. I am curious how, like, how did it. How did it end? How did the. That conversation? I think very. Punched him in the face. Yeah. Yeah. Knocked him out. Is he gonna be next year? Yes. 100. It'd be hard. That's like a lock, I think, in everybody's eyes, right? Yes. Especially after how, like, the Harbaugh has went this year. How about Bill Belichick? See, he had coach next year. I hope so. We're not allowed to ask about it, I guess. No, we're not. Want him to get the right contract? Yeah. Yeah. That was great. That was great. Okay. Okay. Okay. What was that all about? You got it. Okay. You got it. Yeah. You're right. Sorry. Everybody's talking about. Yeah, okay. My apologies. You want to coach or not? Okay. Answer a question. Any of them. This ball goes in. If this ball goes. Goes in. This ball goes in. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. It's gonna be the greatest Thanksgiving of all time. Okay. Come on, now. Can't wait. Drain it. Y. Look at that. We knew it. Thanksgiving. All right. That was cool. That was coming out, man. It's going to be such a good Thanksgiving. Great shot. I felt a little pressure with that ball in my hand. Yeah, cuz we need a good Thanksgiving. Need one. Turns out it's coming. Love that. You know, coming on the other side of this break, we're going to wrap up everything from the week. We're going to make our picks. We got a Ram Truck segment. I mean, there's a lot. A lot. And then obviously there will be at least one more debate about mashed potatoes and stuffing. Sure you don't want to stick around for that? Cuz we got a new talking head and this guy's an eater. I don't know if it should. They weren't even the same row in that graphic. Yes, they were. Can we just. No, they weren't. Yeah, they were both five bucks. Yeah, but they weren't in the same. The same. Oh, cat. They can live next to each other. They can coexist. That's what I've been saying this whole time. Yeah, definitely. As long as it doesn't touch my stuffing. See, you're trying to fight me on your point. And I go there. Yeah, you go there every time. I don't. I'm okay with stuffing having an appearance at Thanksgiving. Yeah, exactly. Having a presence. Yeah. Yeah. You said stuff and you meant mashed potatoes. You said. Yeah, clip that, clip that. There's a big article, I guess, on the Internet. Jameis Winston hates mashed potatoes. James Winston is not a fan of mashed Potatoes. Please don't bring mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving. I'd rather just have a baked potato. Okay. So that's the only potato worse than mashed potato. Good poll, though. Baked potatoes are $1. There are so many great potato options. Hash browns, buddy. Great. So good. Potato chips. What hash browns do you like? Do you like the shredded ones or do you like the McDonald's? I like. McDonald's is the best. Yeah, I agree. The chickfila. Both good. I don't think you can miss with hash browns. They're all good. Always good, I think. Hash browns, right? Fries. I like most fries. Steak. Steak. Fries stink. You know why? It's not because they're like, if they're done. Yeah. Because they have mashed potatoes inside of the fries. And that's why they stink. That's why everybody hates them. Oh. It's more like baked potato kind of mash, though. I enjoy a twice baked potato. So good. Yeah. Cheesy potatoes. Yeah. What about scallops? Scallop potato rotten. All gross. Twice baked is just mashed potatoes inside of a shell. Yeah. What are you. What are you guys talking about? The cheese is going. There's so much in it. You. Yeah, but that. It already comes way better. It's already comes that way. Like it's a part of this. You can make cheesy mashed potatoes. Okay, very good. If cheesy mashed potatoes is the conversation. If bacon. Cheesy, buttery. You're back. Gravy mashed potatoes or the conversation. Deal. Okay. I'll have put it on a plate. But just a blob of just. I don't know who's making your potatoes. Potatoes. That's. But no one's doing that at Thanksgiving. The issue is with Sam. She makes great mashed potatoes. I guess. Yeah, she does. And I just. I guess I just. I don't know if they're asked, though. It's not worth the stomach space. It's not worth the calories. It's not worth taking up stuff in space. It's not as if you have all day to eat. Are you guys getting one plate? What are we. What are we talking about here? Yeah, definitely. I'm not wasting any of it on. Well, think about who said it. Foxy, tiny little tummy. Yeah. So I would know. You guys get full on Thanksgiving? Do you get full on Thanksgiving? I eat a lot. No, I get full. You said or get full. Get full. Like F, U, L, L. Yeah. Yeah. Multiple times. You just gotta push through it. Yeah, but that's why don't let mashed potatoes take up any room. That's dumb. You're not living well. The best part is the day after when you just throw the stuffing and mashed potatoes and turkey all into a skillet. Just mix it all up and it's just. No, the sandwiches the next day are so good. Hawaiian roll with the ham, with the stuffing, with the cheesy potatoes. Boom. You ever do the stuffing? Waffle? What's that? It's where you take stuffing, mix it with a little bit of egg and put it in a waffle maker. Really? And make a waffle. But it's all stuffing. How good is that turkey on it? Everything on it's unbelievable. Nothing better. Agreed. Especially on mashed potatoes. You're not making a mashed potato waffle ever. I disagree. Well, no, cuz that wouldn't work. That'd be a hash brown. So good. Yeah, it's a latke. So good. Hash browns are good. Why aren't hash browns just the standard Thanksgiving potato? Cuz mashed potatoes are fire, that's why. And, and you know what was brought to my attention attention earlier? Why do they serve mashed potatoes in every restaurant in the goddamn country but they don't serve stuffing? Because it's sloppy. It's cheap. Because it's cheap. No, not true. What you thought there was some no answer coming back. Why is it an option? Because it's cheap to make and they can upset stuffing. Are you telling me stuffing costs? Stuff is just bread with a little flavor. Sorry we couldn't afford the stuffing tonight. The all it is Stove top is going to figure it out. Oh yeah. That's so expensive. Not going to be able to. Not going to be able to get that in every restaurant. Are you talking about the slop? You're talking about comparing slop. What are you talking about right now? I'm just saying everyone loves mashed potatoes. But you have some war. You have some grape with mashed potatoes. I don't know what it is. Who hurts? I don't know what it is. You ate some mashed potatoes that tasted so bad when you were a little boy. I'm never doing that again. Yeah, and it's lasted. It certainly has taken up space. I wasn't able to eat as much ham and stuff. I said what am I doing? I had to ride home. What am I doing? What have I done? Why did I do that? I wasted the one day so bad. Did you not eat the mashed potatoes on chicken nugget day in high school? Never. No. Way. Dude, you were missing out. What are you doing? That slop you guys were putting on, Your people are dipping their nuggets in those mashed potatoes. Oh, my God. You kids were disgusting. Those cured disease. That's the goat. That wasn't actual potatoes either. I hate to break there. Well, yeah, I'm not. I'm not standing on a cliff for Plum Mustang. Plum Mustang? Wait, I thought you. No, no, I went there, but I stayed on a cliff for that. The only thing it's talked about coming out of the Plum Mustang cafeteria is the Mexican pizza on Wednesdays. Yeah, I know, I know. That was the greatest. You should have those on Thanksgiving. Mexican pizzas. Why not? Steak, octava, ham. I've been pushing steak on my family for tomorrow. How about this? I'll push steak with you if you just get rid of the mashed potatoes. Why would I do that? Trying to make Thanksgiving better. Do that. That's not making Thanksgiving better. All right. Fistball goes in that hoop. You never eat. There's no chance. I would never put that on a ball. You don't even want to put that. Oh, that's a far shot. Nobody makes it. No way. I'm never tyres. How it back, by the way? Way back, Ty sound the way back. No chance. Not. Not even a. Not even an inkling of. This should be cool. All right, how about this? We all agree Mashed potatoes no longer Thanksgiving as bulk. No, dude. All right, agree. All right. A.J. agrees. Yeah. Thank you. You agree? Sure. All right. I mean, I saw the first shot. I'm not betting on this shot. Oh, see? See? Oh, that's exactly why we don't bet. Yeah, that's how we don't bet. Cheap potatoes on the table. Always with the stuffing. That felt pretty good with the stuffing. That one looks great. It was loud. That second one I thought was in. So did I. Stephan literally went crunch through the hole. No net. That was pretty cool. That's how Darius shoots, by the way. Darius Butler shoots like that. He does it just like. It's like a liner that somehow splashes and. It don't make any sense. He jumps so high when he shoots too. He like full jump. Still athletic. And then, like. And once he starts making them, he doesn't miss either. All game reps. Yeah, unless Bone drops a bottle in his backswing. Birthday boy. Bone certainly caused quite a controversy in a game of 33 yesterday. Connor was pretty pissed. We were going. That was a great game. On the way back. You can't make noise while you're shooting. Getting Hot. It was a little bit noise situation, but it was noise here. It just so happened that no one was talking. The TVs were off. It was pretty locked in. We're pretty. It was a good game. Very intense part of the game. Silence in the gym. Because this is title for the rest of, you know, Thanksgiving. Yeah. Yeah. And it was very. It was. It was actually fun to be in a moment where you're like Connor and DBA on fire. Rolling, Locked in, Locked in. We were at the bottom of the inning though, so we got a chance to answer. Yeah. Oh, but we had six potential. Dropped something in your. He dropped something as you were going up for a shot. Connor and them hit every single shot. So they got bonus shots. And they're on their way back. There's 12 more points on the board. They get to the top right before. I mean, as Connor is setting up the shoot, Debone with his bottle. Conor throws brick. Obviously we tip it in and then debut good save him. If he makes a shot, they get to go to the next spot. Obviously. Bone drops it again. No, he didn't drop it. Literally, as soon as Darius shoots, he goes, you Debone. It's like, well, that's another miss. Bang, miss. And then me and Fox go and just catch fire. We just absolutely catch fire. But that's 33. That's 33. Thank you, Debone. Happy birthday, Debone. Happy birthday, Bone. Happy birthday. Thank you for the distraction, T. Bone. So you want to be a marketer? It's easy.

Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you as well. Happy Thanksgiving to you guys at the talks the table at Boston. Connor and I. Schmidt. Thanksgiving con man. You know what you get? What's that? On Friday night, the Bruins get their asses kicked by the Pittsburgh Bang. I don't think so. I don't think so at all. Especially just because of the state of things right now with the way we're going and the way you're going. Two completely different. Hockey mar is potentially up for trade, says Chris Johnston. No NHL news. No. Yeah, yeah. No. Yeah, that's what. No Chris Johnson. Chris Johnson says that the Bruins don't turn things around. Yeah. Brad Marshawn could become a trade candidate. You know where he's heading? Not Pittsburgh. If the Bruins don't turn this around. That's where it ends. Because the Bruins are turning this thing around with Joe Sackle. So I don't know why the fuck we're talking about hypothetical. Hey, guess what? If the world doesn't turn things around, it's going to end. Same exact fucking thing. Okay. Same thing. Boom. You're right. Boom. Never thought thought about that. You know who doesn't need to turn anything around? They just need to keep on going. Who's that? The Hut. Yeah, well said. They actually sent a gift for you, Ty. With this glorious Thanksgiving eve. No one out Pizza's Hut. And now Pizza Hut is actually. What are they offering? Yeah, no one out winds the Hut. What either. You know, I mean, what better time to gather amongst friends and. And have a delicious, full bodied red tomato wine from Pizza Hut. Yeah, I'm not a huge wine guy, you know, I'll go through my, you know, kind of AB and Flo if you will and enjoy a glass, but I just figured why not? I mean, it's. It's Thanksgiving. We got a lot to be thankful for. We might as well. And Pizza Hut has been good at everything they've done. Yeah, exactly. Who doesn't love tomato wine with a little bit of vegetable oil or whatever it is in there to add the color? Who doesn't love. I mean, it looks delicious. Is it quick beer? No, no, no, no. It looks like a blush wine. Looks like a blush wine. Like a cherry seven up, if you will. I know AQ Rose. I know AQ saw this and said, oh, give me a. Oh, you. Are you offering up? Yeah, I think so. Wow. Is this communion? That's very kind of you. Oh. Oh, no. Doordash Done. Oh, I can't wait to try this. So it is a. A bold tomato. Yeah, it's a. There you go. Aq. You got it. I said a full bodied red, which is a, you know, tomato wine. And it's got the kicker here. Tomato wine's not a thing. It's got vegetable juice for color. And I love vegetable juice. Yes. And certainly whenever it's just added in for color. Who. Who doesn't love that? Yeah. So Pizza Hut. The wings are fantastic. So good. Don't get talked about enough. I think it was Wing. Has. Is the name Wing Street. Wing Street. Because Pizza Hut is on Wing Street. And the wings are delightful. The boneless wings, which are just chicken nuggets with sauce on. Good. Still play. A lot of meat in there. A lot of meat in there. Not just. It's not all, you know, sizzle. There's some real meat in there, some real steak in there. I would their fries. Delightful breadsticks. They even had these little chocolate brownie things. Oh yeah. So good. The cinnamon things. Every. The pizookie. Unbelievable. The cheese on top of the breadsticks. So good. It's a meal in of itself. I would trust Pizza Hut making anything. Okay. Because I love it. Smells good, doesn't it? Always have. Since I was a little boy all the way through. Now I don't know if wine is in there till now in their world. Ty, why don't you let. How are the legs? I mean it. It smells delicious. Got a bit of a Okie afterbirth, if you will. After birth. Okie. No, I. You know what? That's better than anything you're gonna find in Napa Valley. Okay. And you've been. And I've been. I've been. I mean, I wouldn't say I'm. Look at I.Q. he kid. I mean, he just. It's. It's delicious. Imagine getting an oregano after. Oh, really? So it tastes like pizza. It does a little bit. It actually. You know what it kind of tastes like. They took a big New Yorker, took a couple slices, threw them in a blender, got that kind of goop, dumped it in one of these bottles and then added a little vegetable juice for color. It's delicious. That's a drink dream. That's a dream. So this is a thing. This is not a bit, right? No. I don't know. Not a bit. Seen pictures of them. I don't know if it's actually available for purchase. I have no idea. But I appreciate the fact that Pizza Hut and might I remind you amongst Pizza Hut and their competitors, they're the only ones that have fryers in the building. That's right. So whenever their fried stuff comes, whether it's the fries or the. The boneless wings. Or the wings or anything like that, they're actually. Actually frying them in there. I don't know how that helps with the wine. They actually have several vineyards in Napa Valley as well. What's the ABV on that bottle? Do you know? Oh, yeah. It's like 13 point is 12.7%. So your average wine. Yeah. Yeah, it's not bad. Connor, you a wine guy? No, I'm not a wine guy. You should taste. I got to try this. You should taste. Dig. Digs. Feels like a wine guy. Why isn't he trying it? Well, he just wanted to open it, actually. It was a full thing. Yeah, I opened it. Why is the bottle. Why is it such a baby bottle? Do they have normal bottles? It's very expensive. I'm. I'm not mixed with olive oil. I'm allergic to vegetable juice, so it's not doing anything else. How was it? I mean, what the. That's the best one. Exactly. Right? I can't. But I can't believe that we're saying this is like a. What's everybody saying? Way better than Napa. Oh, yeah. You think I was kidding when I said. Well, the tone in which you said it was in a tone that you would normally speak whenever you. Something. But you're saying we're talking about the hut here. Yeah, brother, that is legit wine. And they dip their bottle like Maker's mark. It looks like. Not bad, huh? If that was available in college, that would have been the only thing I drink. So I'm not a big wine drinker. I don't like the flavors, you know, and how everything tastes afterwards. You talk about the afterwards. I'm with you 100%. I don't like the after thing. That's why I'm not a big cigar guy either, because I don't like my mouth the after. I don't like hanging out with it for the rest of my day, you know? Tequila, same thing. Happy to be out of that stage of life. Because tequila's with you for the rest of the day. This feels like it's just a drink. Feels like you're just having a drink here. Yeah, exactly. Where is it available? Irvine Winery. Is that what I saw? Is it dry or sweet? It's like Mad Dog 2020. Crazy enough. Foxy. It's dry. Perfect mix of Both. Yeah. Foxy, you're a big wino. Why don't you come have some? I'll try. Come on, Foxy. I'll pass the bottle back. Yeah, yeah, pass it to me. But then no one else. No one else would get any. That's. Yeah. Where do they grow it? Where do they grow their grapes? Yeah. Good luck finding, because the gift box is sold out and so is the wine. They grow their grapes in Italy, same as their tomatoes. Those wine glasses are sweet, though. The Pizza Hut wine glass, I like that they're metallic. Got the maker's mark top. So that does. Foxy is a wine guy. Remember, he's been Italy. Just took a big old swig. It's not bad, Foxy, right? Yeah. What? Yeah, dude, it's great. What are you doing? You son of a. Oh, sorry. It's not a 400 bottle of wine. When you guys. When you guys said it actually tastes like pizza, it's not what I expected, but it actually tastes like pizza. Yes. It's the hot. Yeah. Ooh. The aftertaste is starting to be pretty good, though. Foxy, we don't want to hear it. Okay? You don't know. Foxy got engaged in Italy. Yeah, I'm starting to believe that. I do. I love wine and I love red wine. Dry red wine. This is the most unique dry red wine. Unique is a good way to say it is in my life, isn't it? Very creative. It's a must try. Whole back room. Have a taster. Here you go. We swings. We doing swigs back here. Come on, guys. You go. There you go. Don't drink it all. It's very good. Make sure you smell it first before you don't smell it. That is the thing. I don't think you should smell anything that comes from any bottle. Probably don't drink at all. Not bad, Nick, huh? Nick. Welcome back home to Sicily, brother. That's right. That's right, Nick. Walking the streets of Rome right now. It tastes like I'm back working in the pizza shop. Exactly, exactly. The aroma that radiated through your nose and through your skin now goes into your mouth and into your soul. It does feel like that, doesn't it? Yeah. How'd they get it to taste like pizza? Oregano pizza, brother. No one out pieces the hut. Come on. And now nobody out winds the hut. Good luck. Sorry. Nobody's gonna be able to get a pizza wine better. No. Sorry to these bozos who are bought, you know, spending 700, $800 on a bottle of wine. Dig? Just Put into our group text that has people that are not in the building that are experiencing this alongside of us from afar. Dig just said, I can't stress how bad this wine smells. So he. He didn't want to say that in a microphone, I think, but. Correct. Foxy already took a dump on this one. Yeah, didn't he? Didn't Foxy? He took a dump on it. He did. He took a big old steamy dump on this wine. It doesn't. What does it smell like? What's it smell like? Throw up. What? What? What? My breath. Pizza so bad right now. Well, there's olive oil or garlic vegetable juice. Nonetheless, you should. You should eat their food. I was gonna say me and the family are gonna drink this wine. Sure. We're not. Yeah, I probably won't either. I'm glad I tried it. Yeah. It was good, though. We got to experience it. Yeah. Yeah. That's probably why together bottle. Yeah, we did. We did it together. I think you gotta drink a whole bottle on your own. It's all about job, everybody. That's what it's all about. Good job, aj. You didn't have any, bro. I'm gonna get some. Honestly, I'm gonna try actually sending some of your hats, so. Can't wait. Can't wait. Spread along with your kids. Yeah. Make sure actually get the taste. Shout out to Pizza. We appreciate you joining the team. Thank you. Big boneless wings bundle. Hell, yeah. They're really pushing the boneless wings, I think, right? Yeah. It feels like every single time one of these pops up, it's a boneless wing thing. They are good chicken nuggets. They are very good chicken nuggets. A lot of meat, you know? You know, sometimes you get these chicken nuggets, and it's all. All topping. Not a lot of me meat. They got good, juicy meat. They do. But, I mean, that's a great deal. It's a great deal. Get the bone in wings. If you're going to pizza hug, get the bone in wings. You will not be disappointed. They are so good. They are the best. Like, I guess local places probably have good wings in each city, but I think they stack up with, like, you go to, like, any, like, restaurant around here. Like, their wings, like, actually do stack up for sure. Like, where you go get wings from real meat. Good texture. Yeah. The sauces, obviously, if you have hot sauce or buffalo sauce or barbecue sauce or they have all the assortments of sauces. They have all the options. Sauces are good. And the wings have a good texture. It's not like a soggy. Good meat on it. Good meat on it. You know, that's why everybody's worried about Jersey Mike's. Yeah, exactly. You know, Just got sold. It's true. Yeah. Fear not. What's that? Had it today. Yeah. But we got to get it before it gets, you know. Well, they bought it. There's some big throwing abs. Corporations. What? Who? I don't know who bought it. Who bought it? Do you know who bought it, aj? I actually don't know. I didn't even know it sold. I just hope they keep putting oil and vinegar on their subs. That's what made it special. It makes it great. And hopefully they keep putting a lot of meat on everybody. I think the company that owns it just like tried trying to buy everything, it seems like. Right. Is that that company? Oh, is it one of these big conglomerates? I think. I don't know them. You say that it's basically. Hopefully not, but it's pretty much gonna turn the rock. No, it wasn't the rock who opened it, was it? Oh, who did this? There's a pebble. No. Black rock. No. White stone or something. A lot of stuff, Right? A lot of stuff. That's probably okay. Yeah. All right. Hopefully Jersey Mike's isn't. Don't get rude. They better not. Better not hot. And Pizza Hut needs to just keep being Pizza Hut. They will. And try that one. Hey. They need to not get distracted by a big number. Yeah, you're right. You know, cuz they're. I think that Jersey Mike was like 8 billion. Yeah, it was. That's a big number. Yeah. We need Pizza Hut to not get distracted. Pizza. You just keep being Pizza Hut. Right. We need you to keep being. Keep being innovative. Hey, make some wine. Yeah. Give it a shot. Have some fun. You know the little chocolate brownie exploder thing. Wings. Yeah. Keep doing it. Delicious. Fries in the fryer. Crispy, good taste. Fire with topping. Yeah. Can even get topping on the fries. Lemon pepper on the fries. Oh, lemon pepper fries. All of a sudden, the best thing you're eating. Let's make sure we're staying there because we don't need that wing to have this much meat. It didn't have this much meat. No. It happened to a lot of places. It did. There were wing places and they had meat on it. And then what happened? They sold out, and now we got no meat. Because you can save so much money that's on wing streets doing no. And that's why no one, and we mean no One how? Pieces. The hut. Or. Or out. Winds. The hut or out. Wings out. Wings. The hut. Out. Out. Breadsticks. The hut. Out. Out. Fries. The hut. Out. Desserts. The hut. I mean, list goes on and on. Nobody with the hut. Really Done. No one out. The hottie. The hot. Either. They don't. They don't. Thank you. Pizza. Hell yeah. That wine I couldn't do without. Did you finish your cup? Yep. It was great. Show us. You guys want the bottle back out there? Did he finish it? No. Finish it. Somehow the aroma has filled this 7,000 square foot room. The blood of Christ. Amen, brother. It does have a pungent smell. Yeah. Cuz I watched you right there. I don't know. I don't know if everybody saw that. We should have zoomed in when you smelled. He went. I didn't expect it to smell like that. What can it. Does it really smell like. It smells that strong? It smells like you're in the back of the back of a pizza. It does. That's. That's amazing. I love that smell. Amen. All right. You should drink it more like the dumpster outside the back of the. What was that? You should finish that so we don't. We're all getting punished because you won't finish your drink. Ty gifted you. Yeah, there's some left in there too. Be. Thank. Good aftertaste. Right there is a little bit delicious, but I'm not gonna leave that. You lucky. Thank you so much for doing. Hey. Hey, Q. So let's, you know, let's not punish everybody's nonsense for the great stuff. Hurry up, dude. I know you want to savor it. This would be a. This. This would be a great deglazer of the pan for Thanksgiving. Sure. Oh, like a nice, you know, nice tomato reduction. Yeah. Deglaze the pan, you know. Yeah. Because alcohol, wine. Yeah, they do put it in there. This one I have a little. That good. I know. Chasers. That's good. No, I just, you know, bum that, you know. Yeah. So pallet cleanser. That's what Samaya would do. You uncultured swine. He only got one bottle. Can't we get another bottle? Get a hundred more. His whole body just. Whole body. He almost shook out of his chair. It gives you that vinegar. Like if you take a shot of apple cider vinegar, like it gives you that. Like. That's good. People like. Oh, okay. It's like the. It's like a central nervous system. Smelling salt. Yeah. It's like smelling salts. Okay, so get you jacked up. Right. People maybe need to be drinking this pregame. Not a bad idea. Not a bad idea at all. You just got to go. I'm glad they're taking chances. Good for them going out there. Yeah. I don't. I would like to know. I would like to know how it came about. Yeah. Some Pizza Hut exec was out there in Napa Valley doing the day tour stops at a spot. What do you mean? Guy goes, you work at Pizza Hut? I love Pizza Hut. He goes, I love wine. I've always. Some smaller. I've always thought that you can pair a nice wine with Pizza Hut pizza. Why don't we make one for you? We'll see if you like it or not. Make it taste like pizza. And guy half tuned up or lady half tuned up already. I love that. That's genius. Let's do it. Where's the close Pizza Hut? I love that they're doing it, though. They know. Think about the amount of money that that probably took whenever person. Oh, so much, so much time. It's probably five years in the making too. Man or lady comes in and goes, this is what we're doing. I agree to it already. So we have to do it. We got a wine coming right down the pipe. Yep. It's gonna taste like pizza. Everybody's gonna love it. Let's do it. How much money is that gonna cost? Holy. All right, let's do it. I like the pizza. It's still that free, you know? Yeah. Because if they were potentially bought by. That ain't. No, no, no. They're not trying new products. Sick on the pizza. All right. You can go yourself with the wine. Yeah, that is. That is how that would go. Yeah. Shots. Pizza. Oh, yeah. Did you finish that? Yeah. Come on. It's finished. He wouldn't lie to us. Aq, what time you show up for an 8:00am game tomorrow or match? I'll get there at 7:45. Oh, okay. Stretch the calves real quick. You're here. You're gonna lose. This is where it's gonna be. It's gonna be stretching calves. All right, I'm good. You're dead. You're dead. What about your spine? Yeah, I might do a little. Oh, you're good. Careful. You're not good. You're going to lose. You're not taking this serious enough. No, I am. This is a thing. What do you wear? Do you wear a singlet? What do you wear? The is wrong with this guy? We didn't know how focused you were. That's compression shorts and A T shirt. That's it, huh? You wear shorts over your compression shorts or just. No. Okay. Like shorts like the bike compression shorts are hanging out underneath. Like I wear the Nikes, like white compressions. And then you're wearing Lulu cut, like. Yep. So it's out a little bit. Bottom. Yeah, yeah. Showcase the quad a little bit. Yeah, of course. What sh you wearing? Not dong. I don't maybe. I don't know. You know the ones I wear. No, you don't. You're wearing hokas out there. No, the speed lands. You know the ones where I. The ratchet twist them up. You're wearing those in public. Oh, yeah. What are those built for? Channel. Exactly. What are those? It's the cam Haynes ones. A.J. you know. Oh, I gotcha. What do you call them? The water. They're called Speedland. Oh, yeah. Also known as the goofball ones and the goofball twos. Remember we got. We got two versions of these things. I got black and red ones and the blue with the elk. Oh, sorry. And three, he walks in here with a different pair of these shoes. It's awesome. And he's doing it for a reaction. Obviously I'm doing them because of the mother comfortable shoes I've worn. But you know, those aren't. Those aren't good for side to side. Aren't those good for like running 50 miles in the woods? No, the ones I got, I got the. They got the low bottoms. Oh, okay. Cranks them up. I do like that. I hate tying shoes, so. I love anything you don't have to tie. Yeah. Just in case you ever got to run full speed. Fight six. Guys hate tying. Do whatever you got to do. I mean, I hate tying shoes. This guy. I do. I still do. I. I'm always trying to knock know it's the worst, man. Never times where I just wear Crocs 80% of the time. And also to speed dry land. Speed land just boa constrict them. Speed lands. The dry lands are the real deal. That's hockey training. That's terrible. Dry land is what they call it. That's when they're just running sprints on the field. Good luck at Drylands tonight. What are you doing? We're running. How far? Forever. Hockey sucks. Yeah. That got to be the most cardio conditioned sport. Right? Soccer. Soccer's up there. Right. But hockey's sprinting all around. Hockey's physical too. Yeah. You can get away with gliding a lot. Yeah. But in soccer, you can get away with basketball conditions. The only good Thing, though, with hockey is you don't have that pounding on your joints, like your knees and hips. Your hips, I know, are definitely hockey players, but your knees don't take that pounding of running. Every hockey player I've seen has the ass trunks of a. Of a bowl. And I don't know how those guys get comfortable with how your feet feel in skates either. I agree. Like, I. I do not get that. It's the most uncomfortable thing ever. Not only your feet. Like, this muscle locks up as soon as I put the foot. Like, I used to. Roller tibialis. Is that what that is? The tibialis? I used to roll tip in the front. Do you roll that? How do you. What do you. You can roll that, but I think you just got to do it. It takes. You got to skate over and over and over again before it gets. Because, yeah, I'm with you. When I used to blade all the time. No problem. No, no, no problems. Because you did early on, though. No, it's like. It's like putting pads on. You gotta, like, condition your body to it. Yeah. So as an adult, I. Somebody. I think Tone got rollerblades because he was gonna rollerblade to work or whatever, so. Oh, man, I would love to see that. With this little book bag on. One time. One time on a pile of gravel. Yeah. He was looking. He had headphones. He was planning on dancing, you know, down the sidewalk. Instead, the. Grinded a couple rails. The old nemesis of rollerblades. A stone or two. Yep. Really got him. Or the sidewalk. That's up a little bit. One. One little section of the sidewalk. See it? Yeah. That was a cool time. Bladen. Bladen had a run there for a little bit. Oh, yeah. I know people roller skate. You guys probably didn't live through, like, the ripstick craze, did you? What's that? Is that this thing? That's. Yeah, that's the. That's really. That's turns. That. That one was awesome. It was serious legs. Yeah, I didn't see that one because you just. It's. It's not like blading, but you. You're just pumping your feet kind of like almost like elliptical. It has two. No, no, you're. It's like a skateboard, but you can actually, like. You don't have to, like, kick, push. You're just sideways. Am I rolling sideways? Sideways? Yeah. Yeah, it looks hard. It looks very difficult. Skateboard with two wheels instead of four wheels. Oh, my God. No, no, no. I think that's one that would have Stuck in a hilly town like Pittsburgh. That one you can really go and you're just. That's all like you don't have to. How do you stop? You just roll that thing back like you're going sideways. So like for. Oh, you turn that thing sideways because like rollerblade. You turn that back foot. Yeah. You're just dragging it. Thing stop. And you're. You're literally shaving the wheels at the same time as you're stopping. Same thing with that. No, you're just going sideways. Like almost like skiing. Like snowboarding. More snowboarding. There it is. Snowboarding because you're sideways. Yeah. Yeah. The hoverboards were sweet there for about what a two month period. Yep. Those are really cool. Those change the world. Remember kids still love them. You have them in the locker room. They're all in on the kids. Yeah, they got in the locker room and then people were pissed. They were in the locker room cuz people were eating. And then. Then they disappeared. I didn't see a lot of. Yeah, Mike Tyson took that tumble. He wasn't the only one. Yeah. Oh no. They had the. The thing came out that the like charging port was like exploding. Yeah. It was a bomb. I feel like that was somebody attack backing them probably because maybe how many of these are blowing up now granted, who knows? Those could be accurate because the way they did plug that in with the amount of power. Those are fun. So fun. I had for a while about a year I was. I had to run with them. I mean I fell off multiple times and a lot of times you. You fall and you have to sprint out of it. You know like something happens and all of a sudden you go running and that thing goes flying into the wall. Yeah. I used to have a good time on that thing. They were big on training camp. Yeah. People loved them. Yeah. Save the legs. Just cruise down the hallway. Yeah. But all you need is somebody to crash and get rid of them. All of them. Season's over. What was the razor people. Kids scooters love it. Shins were just eating, riding rails on that. They were sweet though. I had a great run. Oh, it's almost like by for Christmas season. Yeah. I guess this conversation is very real. What is the big thing this year? Age. I don't know. Is there a tickle me Omo. Is that coming back? So that was obviously big. The 1995, I think. What was the ty. Beanie Babies. Beanie Babies. Beanie babies. They had. I don't know if there is a thing like Turbo man or anything that's big that's going around. I can't believe that neighbor was acting that way. No, he's dead. Rest in peace. But the way he was talking to Arnold's wife, I will never appreciate. It's ridiculous. He was showing up. Oh, he's at work, huh? Trying to make your life better. I'm just. Suck on this. I don't like that. They did say that right in front of the kid. I want Turbo Man. I want Turbo. We all want Turbo Man. Sin Bad. Sin Bad plays a great role. You see that? Sinbad ever play a genie? I don't know. Is that Shazam, Kazam situation? Is that what you're talking about? I guess that was on a. That was on a meme that was like, hey, Mandela effect. They're like, you remember Sin Bad as a jinny? He never was. No, he never was. I feel like he was. See now there people saying that there's a lot of things. Things we remember that aren't actual. Like what? He's a genie. He's a genie. That meme was completely wrong. Sin Bad is. That's not a movie. Is that a movie? Yeah, that's not a movie. Wasn't that Shaq's movie? Oh, I mean, that's a. That's an accurate VHS tape. You'd have to go through painstaking detail to recreate that thing. I think this is a movie. It's a good movie. Yeah, I watched it. It was great. You knew when that Flintstone symbol came up that it was going to be an absolute banger. Three ninjas. Others. Touchstone. Touchstone, that's my man. And check that thing going in and then dropping down. Nothing better. And then I think shutting and a little number popping up. Sure you want it? Man, that's crazy. What they used to do way back. They used to have to actually. Oh, yeah, crank that sucker when you take them back to, like, Blockbuster or whatever. Well, why are people so interested in, you know, technology? And why does everybody have ADD and everything? It's like, do you remember what it used to be like? Used to be nothing. Just mashed potatoes everywhere. Easy. That's what technology. You run a war on mashed potatoes going on. It's the not cool. Technology was just mashed potatoes. That's not true. That's what it was. It was just mashed potatoes. They're just potatoes. Perhaps. Who. What is mashed as purest form? Well, what is any of it? It's just potatoes. That's what I'm saying. Potatoes. Like og Grown in the ground. Okay. Technology brought you mashed potatoes. A DVD per se. No, One person, one Irish guy stepped on a potato. All of a sudden, guess what it was, was they weren't. They weren't stepping on potatoes. They're eating those things like apples. Yeah, you're right. But that guy got sick of eating through Thea. He stepped on. And then everyone was like, holy, this is so good. What a genius. Yeah. And then they made other food and then they continued to develop the potato. Actually, it's. Who. The Irish. You know, now that you said that, yeah, they did make other food. Yes. Okay. A lot of really good food, like Guinness. Well, that's a. That's a food you can choose for it to be a food. Shepherd's pie. Oh, so good. The shepherd's pie and corned beef cabbage. So good every day, huh? Everything you mentioned sounds terrible. All those foods are not good. Excuse you. Okay. Mashed potatoes, bangers and mash. Mashed potatoes. The Irish. Yeah, but the mashed potato. Because all they had was potatoes. That is the. With. Yeah, but they didn't have to mash them, Snake. They did. That's right. Goddamn right. All right, let's get. Let's get out of here on two great things. We started a segment with our friends at Ram Trucks five weeks ago, five weeks ago, six weeks ago, whatever it is, five or six weeks ago. Showcasing massive hits in football. Now, they had to be legal hits. Okay. Can't be illegal, can't be headhunting, can't be cheap shots. Got to be sound football hits that absolutely destroy somebody. They're obviously a part of football. These plays, these plays are something that used to be celebrated that had kind of gone away. Now we wanted to bring back the physicality, the toughness, the grit and showcase what football is alongside our friends at Ram Truck. So we started hashtag Ram tucked. We've seen a lot of plays throughout this college football season get, you know, turned into potentially contend for a 2500 heavy duty rebel Ram. Anytime you hit the gas pedal in that particular diesel powered truck, all you hear is it's like you're riding on clouds when you're in this thing. Great interior, great technology, easy to find, easy to use. The toughness that you need can get you out of any situation. This thing is a glorious truck and we will be giving it away to one college football player who wins the hashtag Ram Truck contest. There's been one winner since we began at a mount union. We'll showcase at the end this week. There are Three great contenders. There was a lot of plays that were mentioned to us while they were watching college ball. Somebody gets on X, use the hashtag Ram trucks and then says when the play is, what game it is, what time in the game and who it was. We scanned through them all. We found three finalists. They will take on Mount Union. Winner will be deemed the king of Ram Truck this week and they will have to defend their crown another week. Then once the season is over, whoever is the reigning king will win that 2,500 heavy duty rebel right now. Hell yeah. Let's get to this week's contenders, shall we? Let's go to Florida Ole Miss Gator. Rapid. Damn tall Jordan Castell. Boom. Shoulder. Letter of the law. Broke up a pass. Obviously helps the defense and boom. Brings the pain. A flag was thrown. They thought to themselves, that can't be legal. But then after review, they looked at it and they go, perfect form, head out of the way, shoulder to ball and sternum. That's a Gator Ram chomp. Now let's go to Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt taking on lsu. This one's called the Vandy Ramador. This guy thinks he's got it all fixed. What? Oh, no. What? Boom. Boom, boom, boom. Bryce Cohen. Two people, one Ram troll. Blows up a play, blocks a dude into a dude. That's real deal. That's unbelievable. I like that. That's the first one Stone two bird situation in the Ram truck that needs to be taken into account whenever the voting is done on X at the post that is threaded to this one. Now, for the first time in the history of the Ram truck segment, we have an equipment manager out of Cal. After a chaotic win. A massive game win, the reunion was taking place with the 2004 team. Trevor. Trevor from California. Equipment manager sees a guy steal the ball, tracks him down through the crowd and boom. Belly to back suplex. Bitch. Get out of here. You think you're going to steal a ball under my watch? You think I'm going to be distracted by all the people that have rushed the field? You think you're going to be able to walk out of here on Trevor's watch Watch? I don't think so. They showed the clip to the team in a team meeting the next day. This is the reaction. What up, though? What up though? Fast forward replay. Trevor's in the gray. Got him circled in team meeting. Get it, get it. I mean, that is a Ram truck. Yeah, if we've ever seen it. Those three will be taking on our reigning champion out of Mount Union. The Mount Boom. Play that has been seen by millions. Williams D back Weston Arthur, clean shot on a quick pitch, loses his helmet. Mount Boom has been the Ram truck champion since week one. Will any of the other plays be able to top the Mount Boom? Will any other players potentially win a 2500 heavy duty rebel Ram? Wow. That is right outside of Thunderdome right now. Whenever we walk past it, we say wow. That majestic piece of prestige is certain something that I'm going to miss at this particular office. But it's going to go in the hands of somebody that plays football the right way. It's going to go in the hands of somebody that is tough, somebody's physical, somebody that isn't scared to lay it on the line for their teammates. And that's basically in a nutshell, what the hashtag Rams contest is all about. Good luck, boys. Good luck. How about Buddy in the. Buddy, that was awesome. Hadn't seen that yet. That. That might be the one. Yeah. Because are you putting both Ram trucks in it? That's 2x2 1. That's 2x. That's double stuff. You know, cuz you got the front and the back there. Yeah, it is. That is double stuff there. And then what about the equipment manager? Yeah, what a hit. Heart. What a good one. Cuz he took that moment and he could have just batted the ball out of. He could have just checked him for ball security could have done that. But instead he goes, we got to make sure this knows never to do this again. Yep, full athleticism. Great sprint breaks through the people. Great grab, twist, flip hips, toss. What a play. Fumble. Hold on ball. I think is what he said. Ball Security's job security, bub. For all of us. This one I think has a real change. Yeah, there's ab story behind it. What's that? There's a story behind it. There's, you know, that gives a little extra. Yeah, it's a moment. Yeah. And the Calgary them might catch up to it. The Mount Union folks have been in. Well, the Florida Ram chomp. Gather some juice with the Florida folks because of everything that happened with Billy Napier this past weekend. What Florida Gators are doing. Yeah, who would have thought? The Florida Gators. Boom, boom. Jordan Castell to win a rebel ram truck. 2500 heavy duty big boy too. Yeah. One of them's gonna rolling around and Gainesville down there. All right, good luck to all. Vote on X. There's a tweet, a post that is threaded to this one. We need you to vote over the next 24 hours while you're Thanksgiving. Show your friends. Have them get on. Have them vote. Check it out. We'd like to know who is the ram trucked king of this particular week. And speaking of kings, ladies and gentlemen, it is time to find out who is the best performing offensive line coming out of week 12. Let's go in the trenches with our friend, super bowl champion A. Q. Shipley. Here we go, boys. Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving. All right, so each week you've been ranking the top five performing offensive lines from the week before. Week 12 is the week that we're talking about here. This is not a culmination of the entire season. This is of week 12. Who are the top five performing offensive lines? AQ, who's at five? The Minnesota Vikings. Vikings, wow. They just signed Daniel Jones. They just signed Daniel Jones. Aaron Jones, the other Guy, right, had 102 yards rushing this past week. Big performance. They lost. Their left tackle should be back. But in this particular play, because it's the first play of the game, Cam Robinson is at left tackle, but we're watching Brian O'Neal the right tackle. Let's watch him pull around as he pulls around. Oh, nice little block by 11. On the edge. Gets it started. Take him out. Oh, geez. Bury him. Play on him. Keep him moving. 15 yard game. First play of the game. I'd like to hear what d but would say about that. What was he supposed to do? He kind of just at least take him on. Show some we know something. What if they take out your knees? You're going to be all mad about it. That's all right. I'm okay with it. I'm old school, but it's awesome. I mean, their offensive line is doing a really good job. They have been great all year. They're obviously in the contention of being one of the better teams in the nfc. They still play the Detroit Lions. Let's not forget that. And they can take that thing over. Yes, they can. Last game of the year. Okay. Yeah. Thank you, NFC North. Thank you. Yeah, Absolutely. Flexing if we can. All right, who's the number four performing offensive line of week 12? AQ Shipley. The Baltimore Ravens. Wow. Big win problem. Over 200 yards against his brother. I mean, they had a heck of a heck of a game plan against them. It didn't start the best, but check this out. They get out of the huddle, it's 4th and 1. Let's look. Defense is confused. Joey Bosa, not even set. Derwin James, not even set. On the edge right. 4th and 1. Get to the line, get them so they're not set. We can catch them off guard. We're just going to run simple power. Pull the backside guard, kick out with Ricard, and boom, we are going. Derrick Henry doing what Derek Henry does. Smack sack guy in the head. That's it? Yeah. How is that legal? That's all right. We can do asking. How about the Chargers not being ready? Yeah. It's like. It's one of those things where it's like you want to get your call. And most defenses, it's like they're waiting. Right, A.J. you talk about this all the time. It's like you're waiting to see where the tight ends are. You're waiting to see where the strength. Strength is. So we can give your what, left, right, call, whatever it is. And by them hustling the line of scrimmage, getting set right away and getting the quick snap. It gets them. It catches them off guard. You see that hand right there? Oh, let me get out of there. That is that A.J. right? Yeah. Trying to call left. I'm sure they're setting it to a certain tight end. And both these tight ends are on the line. And you see, they all kind of came out of the huddle, like, hunched. They were all, like, real, like, muddle. Huddled together, too. To not give it away. Exactly where going. Why does everybody do this every time? It's a bad spot to be in if you're especially Derek Henry on the other side. Yeah. And you can sit there and say that, like, with Ricard lining up strong left. Like that could be strong left. And you can run a counterback the other way. So it's not like that's given anything away. And you still got Lamar, and you still got Lamar to worry about, which he can always do the fake handoff, keep around and. Exactly. He's one on one with the DB. And what you got, two tight ends, two backs, 22 person personnel. Old school. Old school. Strong sides this side, though, right? Because of him. Because of that. Yeah. Yep. What are you supposed to do, AJ who's supposed to make that play? Well, I mean, obviously you're getting. When, like, Bosa's not lined up yet. You got to get some kind of penetration with your D line if you want a chance. If. If not, there's no way you're stopping him for no game. Chase. I mean, 22 is in a really tough spot coming down, trying to make that tackle. Yeah. And 22 on the other side's in a real good spot. Because he's massive. Yes. What he go for 140 or something? Yeah, 140. He's unbelievable. He's awesome. Number two running back in the league by a wide margin. But the guy number one is, he's actually in first and fourth place. Yeah. Did you see that? Saquon. Saquon Barkley is the number one rusher in the NFL right now. And if you just count his second half numbers, he's number four rush in the NFL. Well, I mean when you said that earlier about yards before contest and he had 250 more than Derek Henry, that was insane. Let's talk about who's the number three performing offensive line in a week 12. You guys saw him up close in person this past week. The Detroit Lions. Wow. Detroit Lions. We've showed this play a couple times. It's different a little bit this time. Right. They always run the zone and then they use either the backside tackle or the backside tight end demand which creates that big gap. Look what they do with Saint Brown. They send him back as a decoy. But watch what it does to 33 as he comes in the box. As 33 comes in the box and St. Brown comes back as the insert. He's just decoying. But watch 33 hesitate just right there because he sees St. Brown. And what does that do? Creates a big gaping hole right up the middle. Just that little hesitation and now you got a 15 yard wide hole to just run through untouched for 15, 20. And secondary has to make a play so fast. So good. They're so, so good. That Lions offense, it really is. Ragnall has no boob either, right? Yeah. It's crazy. It's crazy what he's able to do. He's so tough. And like I'm. Like I said every week it's like you see this play and they just wash people. 20 yards this way, man. Block the backside and they have the biggest holes you've ever seen. So everybody knows this is coming. Yeah, but it's like how do you. Because something is off of this, right? Like if you sit there and fill the gap on Gibbs, guess what's coming off of it? A play action to St. Brown because he has. He has dual responsibility there. Yeah. Or a quick inside handoff to Brown. Yeah. Jeez Louise. Lines are cooking. They are cooking. Ben Johnson is certainly a name to look out for in this next coaching. The defense playing great as well. We don't talk about him as much, but Aaron Glenn's got those bites going as well. That's right. Six points this week. Not too shabby. Yeah, it's not too shabby. And the blowouts, they've been continuing to shut people out, too. And that's without Hutch, without an alone, amongst others. What do you have, 10 scoreless quarters or something like that? Yep, 10 scoreless quarters. Only 11 points in the second half allowed in the last five games. And it was all to the Packers. Not too bad. They're good up there. Yeah. Best humility. Yeah, certainly. They've been on this one every single time. Let's go to the number two performing offensive line. Somebody in this office. Somebody in this office is going to be pretty happy about this one, Ty. We got Green Bay packers number two, baby. That's right. That is exactly right. Matt Leflore, in my opinion, has done the best job coaching. He probably won't win coach of the year, but he's done as good a job as anybody. When you take what he did early in the season with Malik Willis and when you take what he's able to do from week to week, he's running duo all last week. This week, he goes with this orbit motion, right? We're going to go this little orbit motion, then bring him back. And then we run this and we hand it off and you got the counter action behind and he just beats the out of the San Francisco for now. Look at that hole, boys. Jeez. How good is that on the nine? Because your head in a blender because you have no idea what is happening. And they ran this particular motion comeback. Different people, different times. They're doing it with Christian Watson, number nine. They're doing it with Tucker Kraft. They're doing it later with, you know, they're running 30, the backup underneath and handing it to Jacobs behind. I mean, it was unbelievable what he was able to do with this game plan. Unbelievable. You have to work that a lot right for the timing of this whole thing. Yeah. And it's. It's all the motions. It's all the stuff. But the best part about it, this whole segment is based off offensive line. It's the same to them. There's three people that have to change roles, but it's never the offensive line. This is literally just inside zone with the receiver going behind. And then you got Tucker Kraft coming back and cutting off the backside. And look at the block he gets too, by the way. Just real quick, I appreciate the offensive line. Think about Jordan Love here on this play. Jordan Love has a sentiment in motion. Yep. Has to snap it at the right time. Yep. Then he's faking this way. Then he's handing it off back this Jordan Love on this particular play does a full 360 spin. By the way the ball handling. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sweet. That is pretty sweet. Oh, what a spin right there too. 71 gets Devondre Campbell and Fred Warner. It's unbelievable. And let's also talk about this one quick note, right. We all notice where this game's being played. It's a home game. Probably can't do all this on the road because then it. Then it's timing the snap with silent count and all the other stuff. And now all this stuff with him sending it and he's quiet and you can make it and it's all verbal stuff. It's a lot easier to do. Ah. So whenever your stadium gets taken over by the other team's fans, it is a bit of a disadvantage. A bit of a disadvantage. Yeah. Cuz you can do this. That won't help. Green Bay doesn't happen, right? No, never. Never. Well, last year the. The Lions early on actually did. There was a lot of Honolulu bloo. But that I think that was still kind of when people were like, hey, we don't know about this packers team. And then they went on the run, made the playoffs. And I think this year it's been back to normal. Okay, that's good news. All right, let's go to the number one performing offensive line out of week 12. Wonder who it is. And he surprised you guys. The Philadelphia Eagles. Congratulations, Coach Gane St. University and the Eagles offensive line could have shown a multitude of plays, but Instead we got two plays from. You couldn't pick which 70 yard touchdown was better. So we start with the first one. Let's watch Landon Dickerson on the backside helps Jurgens. Then Jurgens gets his nose. Guard or lime? Linebacker. I'm sorry. Linebacker coming. He gets him pushed front side right there. He's going to push him to Jurgens. Now Jurgens knocks him out to the frontside. A gap. Gets the nice little seal block. Now watch Landon Dickerson climb on this back. Puts his ass on the ground. Little cut to the outside. Let's go back, check out. That's huge. Real quick. 18 right. Look at 18 come in from the outside here. Watch this. This is the block that springs it. It's always receivers hustling right. It's the one because that guy can make this play. Boom. Right there. Cut outside. Hump block. How good is that? Got his hips involved there and then untouched for 70. This team's good team's. Real good. Team's real good. Then we go to the next one. No, it's the same one. No, same one. I want to see the. This tight end. That's an interesting. Is that Godard? Yeah, that's got it. Love his stance. Yeah. Love his stats. He's. He's on the backside 90% of the time, just so you know. Whoa. That giveaway. What are you saying? They can do all kind of stuff, but they. They want him on the backside. They want him just kind of steel blocking or they'll split him out half the time. They bluff him, get him on the second level. Hey, Q Should share a little bit of a tall. Yeah, you guys got a little bit of a tower. That's all right. The other five guys are blocking the shit out of people. Doesn't matter what he does. Amen. Amen, brother. Yep. And then we come back and we get the little lead play to the front side. Check this out. We get. Who, by the way, has turned into an absolute monster. He was the question mark coming into the season. Former first round of the New York jets move him inside to guard. We bluff the front side. Oh, that's called a log. Right? We spill, we try and get the log. And it's trying to throw off the second puller, who's coming around as a second pour. He reads it, goes around it, kicks it out, and then. Dude, 70 more yards for another touchdown. He knew, too. That's awesome. When an offensive lineman gets to celebrate his work like this, dude knows that he just made a massive play. Look at him celebrate. Huge play. Yep. Got him, Got him, Got him. You're gone. See you. Jared Verse. Two there. Good player. Jared versus. I mean, that whole young Rams defensive line, they're very awesome. I mean, we talked about that earlier. I mean, they are so good. Jared Verse got my lotto. We. We showed that. Yeah, he did in the. In the office earlier. I mean, he got my lotta one time, but he caught him. He caught him. He caught him really good. And he's having a hell of a year. But my lot being back is huge for the Philadelphia Eagles. How about these offensive lines? Congrats, boys. Oh, yeah, boys, those are the best teams in the league. That's basically what you see. Yeah. Baltimore, Detroit, Philly, Maine stays up there every week. It's the other two. We got to figure it out. Okay. Always. All right. And you said that it's good. If you had to do a top 10, you wouldn't be able to do it. I mean, you can Figure it out based on week to week, but it is pulling teeth sometimes trying to find it. He said some of these offensive lines have like a good week one week and then like crop the next week, right? Yeah. 100. Only a couple very good units. I thought Lombo nailed it earlier in his. In what he said and he's. Yeah. You were doing a full song, you remember? Oh, yeah. While Lombo was talking about, you know, the development from college isn't really helping with the entire situation in the NFL. They need to find wrestlers and everything. And AQ was going, I like when people see the game the same way I see it. Makes me. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He said. I mean, he was literally saying the exact same. Same stuff. All right, well, I want to let you know, great work there, bro. Congrats to those offensive lines. And that's how we need to judge who's going to win and who's not going to win, you know? Yeah. You got no line, you got a chance. If you have a no line, you have a chance. If you don't, you don't have a great chance. And if you have a D line, you got a good chance. Trenches, baby. O line. D line. Howie, that's coach Tyoni. We just gave him a tell, I think. Don't love that. But he's not the only one seeing it. All right. Hey, Q. Yes. Kansas City's never on there. Does that worry you at all or is it just because Patrick Mahomes is so good? So it's funny you brought that up. I think their interior 3 as is as good as any in the National Football League. I think that both their guards are probably going to make first team all pro. Their center is going to be second team all pro behind Rag now. Right. So their interior three is incredible. They've had issues at the tackle position. They just brought in my boy DJ Humphries, who I played with for a bunch of years out in Arizona Cardinals, which is standard. Andy Reid. Right. Like, hey, let's see what we got for nine, 10 weeks and then let's get our guys for the playoffs. And then guess who's also coming back here very shortly. Pacheco. And when that dude comes back this weekend for the playoffs, he's playing on Friday. Is he playing this week? I believe that was the Post read some. Yeah, he is. They're expecting him. Where was it? Isaiah Pacheco and Charles Amenue will play for the Chiefs on Friday against the Raiders as long as they don't have any setbacks. Andy Reid said So Adam Tiger, Oman Hughes, the guy who got hurt in the Super Bowl, I think last year. Right. ACL or Achilles, one of the two. Oh, on the sideline. No, that was during law. That was the Niners. Do you remember that? Jumping up to go in? Yeah, that was crazy. Oh, my God. The Niners got to ask themselves, what the hell? Snake bit. Yeah. But to answer your question, once that. Once they get Pacheco back and if DJ Humphries now solidifies their left tackle position, now they got their group, they got their guys to go with the playoffs. And when the playoffs come, he's going to pound the rock. Adam Tiker, ESPN NFL Nation reporter, reporter who covers the Kansas City chief, said Isaiah Pacheco and Charles Many will play. There you go. Unless there's a setback, which we will obviously know before we get out of here and enjoy a hell of a Thanksgiving. We'll be off the next two days. I actually. I'm doing something crazy on Friday. What? Yeah. Crazy's an understatement. It's crazy. Yeah. Zany, if you will. It is zany. It will be. Zane. Yeah. A bit wacky. Oh, no. We got to do all of our picks. Maybe we don't do it this week. I mean. I mean, it's over. Why don't you just do Thanksgiving? Yeah, we'll do Thanksgiving Day. Pick. Yeah, that's smart because we don't know what's going to happen to these teams. Yeah, a lot of those players, you know, are questionable. We don't know if they'll play. Lines could change. So then we'll get. We'll also do the Friday game, too. Yeah. Chase Raiders. There you go. That feels like the right decision. Okay. Bears at Lions. Lions favored by 10. Aq. Shipley, who would you take there? I will take the. Where's the game at? It's in Detroit. Yes. I will take the Lions. Lines minus 10. Yes. Yeah, A.J. i will ride with AQ here. Lines minus 10. We know Dan Campbell doesn't take his foot off the gas either once he gets the lead. Kinker agree. I just seen him this past weekend. We agree on that one. Giants, Cowboys. Cowboys favored by three and a half. They're playing against Drew Lock and the Giants. Giants getting three and a half on Thanksgiving. In Jerry World, who knows what the sun will be like. True. Who knows what anything will be like down there. Dallas fresh off a beating of the commanders where they are feeling themselves. They're back. Nice little reminder is what we're hearing out of the Dallas Cowboys. I believe Big Mike McCarthy laughed at the thought of Jerry Jones giving him a contract extension at this particular point. So who knows where the state of either of these teams are. AQ Shipley, who do you like? I like the Cowboys because I liked what they did with Michael Parsons. Finally putting them over a guard, getting some mismatches and I think final. You think it's been Zimmer's fault? No, but he's had him on the edge and they haven't been doing a lot of the stuff that he's. All the stand up stuff he did with Dan Quinn he hasn't been doing. But this past week he did. He got some sacks and I think the Giants have quit since the way they handled Daniel Jones. Malik Neighbors did come out and say something. Everybody's soft as shit in there. And lot of other discussions happening. AJ A lot of discussions in Dallas too, just like six days ago. So it could all change. Easy come, easy go with these discussions about who has a good culture, who doesn't, who do you like? I. I'm going to have to go with the home squad here. Give me the Cowboys at home. Big Mike is. Seems to be having fun. I think it is press conferences, you know, they don't have a whole lot to lose right now. They're playing free. Give me the Cowboys. Bruce. Bruce. Yeah, Bruce. Bruce. Who's on your team? Malik Neighbors is. Really? Yeah, but he's passed there. He is pissed. He did walk it back a little bit. What he said? No, he said, you know, I should have worded it different, not call everybody soft as. But anyway, Dave or he said he rewatched the film because he was pissed he didn't get the ball in the first half. He's like, what the am I supposed to do if I don't get the ball till we're down 30 nothing. And he rewatched the film. We only ran like eight plays offensively in the first half and I think DeVito got sacked on like basically every drop back. Drew Lock's got no chances. Yeah. Oh, no. No chance. Why is it only three and a half? That's why. I don't know. Both teams stink. I want to pick. I want to pick Drew Lock. I just want to let everybody know that I would like to pick Drew Lock right now. Think about him rapping then, because that's all I'm thinking about. Call that bitch my bodyguard. Yeah. Yeah, that's my body. And they got embarrassed and now they know, hey, this one's on Prime. Yeah. But Drew Lock didn't get embarrassed? No, but also remember, well, kind of. Maybe he got paid. He was embarrassed that Tommy DeVito was starting over. Starting over? I was gonna say he. He wasn't good enough to start over. Tommy Colas. So, you know, that's also something to. Pretty embarrassed. What's his name? Tommy Colas. How do we get to that? Tommy. What colors, like the car, the cuddly supreme. Tommy Callus. Like call it a chicken. Chicken. Call it exactly, exactly how Tony says it. Who are you speaking like there? I. I don't really know. Just, you know, someone who lives in the Jersey area. Sound like Tony. Big Costco. Yeah, Big Costco. Big Boom. Aj. He lives in Boca Raton. He does. Ever compare Tony Soprano to Big Boom agent. Listen, Big Boom, he's still working with that boot on his foot. He's putting in work. Listen, Big Costco would never compare himself to Tony Soprano. So we don't need to bury. He would. Big Costco compared to Tony Soprano. Big Costco is a worker, though, not a broken foot. Went through an entire match. Went off the top rope. He did. He's dog. He did a shoulder tackle off the top rope with a broken foot. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Big Costco, more power to you, bud. Like Kurt Angle. Everybody thought you were just bringing a boom. And Daniel Hansen that's battling through. Yeah. Put on a show. A couple power booms. Yeah, Big time. Sit down. Power booms. Yeah, he. I saw somebody say they were getting booed. No, no, no, no. That was boom. Boom. Boom, Boom. This guy sucks. They're talking about the other guy. QT Marshall. This guy sucks. They're talking to cutie. Yeah. Boom. Not booze. You got it. It's hard to differentiate exactly. That happens at wrestling sometimes. I'll take the Cowboys. Dolphins, Packers. Packers favored by three and a half at home in the cold. What's the weather supposed to be? Has Joe Nardo talked about this? Adam Schefter has projected that wide receiver Romeo Dobbs a concussion. He's out. Jair Alexander knee and Edrin Cooper hamstring are all out. Then Alexander and Edrin Cooper didn't play on Sunday and Romeo Dobbs got his concussion on Sunday. So I think early too, right? Expected. Yeah. Who do you like? AJ AQS. We'll go with a Q. 28 degrees all the way to 26 degrees. Allegedly. But this could all change. With the wind chill, it's going to feel like. Yeah, like 16. Okay, thank you. The good news is it's 40 degrees warmer than their game against Kansas City last Year. Sure. I still take Green Bay. Okay. You got the packers without Dobbs. Jaira Alexander, who do you like? AJ I like Green Bay. I think it's going to be a magical night at Lambeau. I know Lambo was talking about that earlier, but. Yeah, give me Green Bay minus three and a half. Gumpy, let me tell you a little story here, fellas, please. Okay. Please do we talk about the cold and Tua can't play in the cold. I get it. He's only played in below freezing twice in Buffalo. 17 for 32, 34. Two tugs. Last year in Kansas City didn't look great. 20th, 39, 199, 1T. One interception. I know everybody thinks it's terrible. It hasn't been that bad. That's Neil Brown saying, we're not doing 10, we're five and five. But I do appreciate everything you just did right there because I'm taking the Dolphins plus three and a half. I think packers win. Three and a half is a lot, I think, for this game. Okay. Raiders, Chiefs. 12 points at the Chiefs. Hey, Koosh, who's playing quarterback for The Raiders? Aiden O'Connell. He's back. Yeah. I'm gonna take the Raiders to cover. Really? It's a division game. It's a night game. Good atmosphere. It's at 3:00. Okay. Perfect. Even 3:00. It'll be dark. It'll be dark. It'll be dark. You get it? 3:00's an interesting time. It is. So allegedly, they didn't want to get past 6 o'clock or something like that. There's some Friday rule. There's some Friday something. State championship games. Think of some deals. High school football thing. I have no. I legitimately have no idea, but I think. Oh, there was that rule. Yeah. Somebody talked about 6:00 on Friday. They were trying to get the game done by something like that. Is it a TV rule or is it a, I think, Kansas City high school rule or something? I don't know if football rule. Unwritten rules. Yeah, I don't. There was something bizarre. We agree. Put that thing on. Yeah. It should be 20. The only game on. On that day. We're also back to the Chiefs not covering. They haven't covered in six games this year. When they're favored by six or more. Yeah, 12 is a lot of points. I also think with a backup quarterback, game plans are simpler. You lean on the run game a little bit more. Let's try and keep the ball out of my homes. Better defense Raiders. Their running game fucking stinks. It's okay. That's okay. Lean on it. Too much. That's okay. Aj, who do you like? So as AQ was speaking, I was thinking, yeah, I'm going raiders all day 12. Seems like a lot, but. Pacheco back. Yep. Chiefs. Give me the Chiefs minus 12. Yep. Taylor Swift definitely gonna be in the building too. No doubt. Maybe. I don't know. Does she have any shows this weekend? We should ask. She was just in Toronto earlier this week. I think she is in Vancouver. She has six shows straight or whatever. Oh, damn. Okay. I thought they were done for this. She's not going to be there. I saw she's making homemade pop tarts for coaches of the Chiefs saying, thank you, congrats on a win. Have you talked about Max Crosby? Third fastest, 100 tackles for loss. No. Is that right? Is that what you were saying? J.J. watt, I think. And Reggie White, Max Crosby. She's not in Vancouver until December 6, actually. So she got this weekend off? Yeah, I believe so. She's definitely. Yeah, we assume she's gonna be there. She will be there in Vancouver for Little Santa. But there's an article here. It says Donna Kelsey and why Taylor Swift likely won't join Travis Kelsey on Thanksgiving. And Donna rules also. That's on Thanksgiving. We're talking about the next day. We're talking about Black Friday. You're right. Right. But Happy Thanksgiving to all parties. Yeah, exactly. We hope they get to enjoy because Donna Kelsey was on the Today show talking about her dinner rolls. I bet you she has good dinner rolls. So good, man. She had chocolate chip cookies too, right? Yep. Brought him to the Super Bowl. I know. Everybody's jacked up by Kylie Kelsey getting a podcast. Jason Kelsey released a garage Beer song last night on. On social media. He was all in. I might win a Grammy. All in. And it's totally. He danced too, in there in the middle of the thing. Just big burly singing, drinking a beer. Make sure you watch. It's like two and a half minutes. Make sure you watch the whole thing. So the garage beer, we've had it before, right? Yes, it's from Ohio. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Bobby Carpenter. Good. Columbus garage beer doesn't taste like ass. Yeah, that was the Bobby Carpenter. Yeah, there's plenty of Bobby clips. Yeah. Jason and Travis from Ohio with an Ohio beer. I appreciate it. Yeah. Hopefully it works out. Cheers to all parties. I got the Chiefs minus 12. I would pick the Chiefs, though, and they would not cover basically every week for about two years. Yeah. In These last six Raider's been bumping their gums a lot, though. The Kermit the Frog preseason. I'm a. Oh, yeah, yeah. I forgot about that. Yeah, all of it. Got to remember all that. You know what else we have to remember? What's that? How lucky we are to do this. Hell, yeah. That's right. Yeah. Tomorrow's a good time to do that. And there's some people maybe, that don't have the greatest setup for Thanksgiving tomorrow. Well, please know that. Go on the Internet. There's a lot of people under football show up for you. Hell, yeah. I hope next year's Thanksgiving is better than this one. And I hope this one's the best one you've ever had. Hope you have the opportunity to, you know, kind of isolate your thoughts. And just like Nick Saban said, instead of thinking about what you don't have, let's think about what you do have. Hell, yeah. And if it's not everything you want, let's make sure next year is even better. But if it's right now, it's everything you have is everything you got. So you might as well enjoy the out of it. That's what gratitude's about. That's what Thanksgiving is about. When you eat that stuffing that tastes so good. Oh, so good, delicious. And you have that ham that's just so delightful, especially if you put it on a little Hawaiian roll. Then you eat that turkey leg, not the dry ass, white turkey. And you look around at a bunch of people that you love, and you see the pies that are laid out and waiting on you. Sweet pies. You should think to yourself, you know what? It's a great day to be alive. Hell, yeah. Yep. Could be dead. We all have friends that have passed away. We all have family members that have passed away. You have no idea what's coming tomorrow legitimately. And Thanksgiving's day. To put perspective into all of that, I'm grateful for all you grateful for you grateful for you guys. Sir. And I'm thankful for the fact. You heard me. I'm thankful for the fact that mashed potatoes are going to have a tiny little spot on my plate. Still a spot. But I'm going to put them on the plate. You don't appreciate you. That's gross. Appreciate you. That's Thanksgiving. That is Thanksgiving. Not everybody celebrates Thanksgiving. You know that. No, I think down poor. Wrong. The Pilgrims would have wanted you to put it on the plate a little bit. The Pilgrims. I got a lot of questions about how they. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Yeah. A Little bit big, big following orders. Crowd massive. With that being said, great holiday to say thank you. And that's what we'll continue to do. We're thankful for all you that watch. There's no reason for you to watch this show. The fact that you do, we will never be able to say thanks enough. We're piecing together something for the spring to come out and see see people come do shows in places and also having people live in here. I don't know how many people we're gonna have in here, how often we're gonna do it. We certainly gotta try it one time and see how much we hate it. Yep. Yep. A lot. We will probably hate it. It'll be a good time, but it'll be a lot. And we'll say, all right, let's never do that again. But no, the live shows are coming in the spring and the reason why they're coming is because we would like to get out and say thank you to all of you and put some, you know, names and faces together that we've seen around the Internet. Even the people that say terrible things about me, I hope they show up so I can see them in person. Like bmo. I said some mean stuff to me yesterday. Jesus Christ, it's Thanksgiving. Yeah. Why you call me a punk? Butch? Guys name was bmo. He's on here. I blocked him. It was fun. Also, don't be scared to do that. Real life, you can't do it. You know, I guess you get a restraining order. But that requires a lot of things on the Internet. You don't like somebody, just block them. Yep. Never see them again. It's great. Anything to make your life better, more fulfilling. Do it. Hell yeah. Let's have a great holiday. Hell yeah. We're back on Monday. Can't wait to be down in Texas A and M on Saturday. It's good. Go. Oh yeah. Zero percent humidity, I've been told. Wow. Nice. Boom. Nice. That's cool. Can't wait. That's December football. I believe it. 6, 570. If it gets up to like 5%, you know, it's not that bad. It's fine. Kind of feels pretty good. But when it gets down to zero, zip, boom. It's like, thank God money. What am I going to wear? Well, probably something that makes me look like an It's Texas ass. One of these big old went in realm big one of these big rig big one of these. I'm not doing a chaps thing again, cuz I was told they could slide they did. They stuck. Remember that? Aq? I do remember that. Yep. Ass up. Yep. I look like one of them turkeys are. Yeah. You salute that big flag while you're huge flag. And how many around the top? A thousand. Like 150 or something. American flags everywhere. You, like walk in, you're automatically like, pledge allegiance. The United States of America. Amen. Amen. That's what you do when you walk in there. It's gonna be a great weekend. Be a friend. Tell a friend something nice. It might change your life. We're in this thing together. Team on. Have you done a giveaway? No. Oh, he's not making it anyways. I mean, what the. I'll make a basketball. Let me shoot the basketball. Do you want to do one or do you want to just get out of here without any embarrassment? I enjoy the embarrassment. Because one of these days, guess what's going to happen. What's that? Today it's going to fall. You think today it's going. I think today's okay. Okay, let's do it. What are you doing? Are you throwing a ball? But you shot all that basketball, so. Look, I'm throwing a ball. Basketballs are all still here. Collected during the break. They came back? Yeah. And they are going in the hole. Tomorrow's a football holiday, though. Yep. Yeah. Oh, boy. Yep. There you go. So quick, so quick. Why? I'm doing a basketball. You're right. Football, football, football, football. Which. Which hoop are you going towards? All right. Aq. Your friend AJ from Ohio. You battled against it. Ohio State in the NFL a couple times. Big 33. Big 30. Did you play in Big 33? Did you guys win? No, we lost. To who? Ohio. But was it AJ's team? No, it was Ted Ginn. I'm older. Ted Ginn was the star of that team. Well, you're one year older than him. I'm like three years older, I think. Really? Really. What? High school class? Class O02. My high school class. Holy. Yeah, for me, way old. Yeah, I'm 05 in the center's in the semifinals, by the way, in case you're wondering. Here in Ohio. What, tonight? Centerville? No, I believe probably Friday, I think. But yeah, they're final four. Big deal. That's that rule right there. Yeah, probably high school football, six o'clock thing. What? The NFL win point playing Mueller. Oh, really? Mueller just had a close one against Saint X last week. Yeah. Oh, same. Big deal, man. It was. I guess Sanx had to lead at halftime, I think. Oh, yeah. Big second half. Out of Molar. Molar's a powerhouse. Yeah. Perennial. Yeah. Molar's a wagon. They're taking on the Elks. Oh, yeah? Are you going? I do not believe so, but I'm supporting. Get some action on that game. Listen to it on the radio. Probably. Yeah. Honestly, M. I definitely follow on Twitter, they. They update it. Why don't you go. The game? Yeah, semifinals. You live close to it, right? I'm going. Ohio State game, Saturday. Oh, this is Friday. The game. How's the conversation been over there? You guys should win, right? Three, four scores. Yeah, we'll see. We. I hope so. Why don't you. Yeah. Why don't you just. There. 3, 4, 5. All right, let's pick that game. Ohio state favored by 21. Yep. Yep. All right. I got. I got a. Ohio State minus 21. Oh, yeah. That's bold. Thank you. Who do you got? Ohio State minus 21. Okay. AJ who do you got? Yep. I got Ohio State to win for sure. Minus 21. Okay. That's not good. All of us on the same side. Yeah. No. Oh, no. Yeah. Who do you got? Ton. I. State minus 45. Oh, my God. How about Utah? Ohio State 58? Nothing. Wow. Boston. Connor, who do you like? Ohio State by as many points as they'll give me. Maybe 65. Sure. Wow. 62 and a half. If they don't win by that much, maybe. Disappointing game. They don't win them by that much, then kick them out. We are so sorry, Ryan Day. We don't. You don't deserve this out of the playoffs. I hope you guys win so much like I hope you do. Cuz Michigan's not expecting to win this at all. So if they win, it's just a bonus. But if you guys don't win this game, my heavens, it's over. It's all she wrote. Might burn down. That big Jesus on the side of 70 that we're driving across. They might burn. I burned down once. I went down once. That's the second one. You see? You see now really, it's. It's a little bit smaller. Yeah. The first one got struck by lightning, I believe, and burned up. Oh, boy. That's what they said. It's Big Jesus. Big, Big Jesus. Big Jesus. Arms up. Hell yeah. That's a reminder when you're driving past it, like, wow, this is the most boring road in the history of the United States of America. It is the Same picture for four hours. Same one, dead straight 70. Then you see big old Jesus over there and you're like, you know what? Praise be. I'm not riding alone today. Bad at all. Praise me. God bless. God bless you, too. There we go. God bless you. Why don't you talk turkey to these people? Why don't you put that football into that hoop right over there? Thank you. And win 30 people 500. On his Thanksgiving Eve for the people, AQ Shipland. Oh, good throw. I liked it. I didn't think it was possible to have pit stains through one of these types of sweatshirts, but he's certainly proven he's done it. I get it. He's pulled it off somehow. Boston Connor on this Thanksgiving eve, Is there anything to say to AQ Shipley as he tries to win 30 people $500? Look, if. If you're serious about helping people, about reversing your karma, do exactly what you just did. Just step in and throw the ball. And remember, this carries into tomorrow. Hell yeah. You got a tournament tomorrow. Yeah. Where there's a bunch of people preparing for one guy that's super bowl champion AQ Shipley. But it starts right now with you making this throw. Yeah. Talk turkey to us, brother. Yeah. Come on. That's good turkey right there. You're God. You're God. I know you didn't have enough juice on it because exactly what Ty said. You're guiding that thing. I'm not acting fire. I'm worried about you overthinking for this pickleball tournament. I'm not. I'm just throwing it right now. Ty, can you maybe some words of advice for a friend, AQ as he tries to win 30 people 500. Absolutely. I know you think. Think you're throwing it. Everyone over here. We're watching. You're guiding that thing. You're guiding it. All right. You put this in God's hands. Toss that thing. Praise be. Praise be. Okay. And if you don't make one of these, there's a chance you're going to get kicked in the face tomorrow at that pickleball tournament. You're that guy. Exactly. Because you bat the guy's paddle out of his hand. You're like, oh, you're an idiot. Yeah. And then boom. X soccer player kicks right in the head. Bang. Sleep Ship sleep. That's what they call you. Night Night Ship Z's. You better hope biz isn't coming to this pickle ball tournament. Oh, boy. Drop your ass. Well, he could help you, though. Yeah, I would love for AQ or J. What if the all the superpowers that live out there all just happen to show up at that CVS at the same time, like, what's up, Biz? And just. It turns into a 10 on fought like, 10 on 6. Flip the numbers. Flip the. Yeah, that would have been a moment. AQ actually just run him all over in his car. Wouldn't even get out. What? Biz. Sorry. I got you. Sorry. Got you. I had to catch you with a leg there. You look like you're up against it. Him beating up seven dudes. Awesome Beast. We're thankful for you, Biz. Good on you, Biz. All right, Aq, you put that football into that hoop right over there, maybe you'll make the world as proud as Biz did. 30 people can win $500. You just gotta spin that. Oh, that was a good throw. That was it. That was a good throw. You wasted those first two guiding. That was. That was good. Take a little off it. Evan Fox, who was a very cultured man who did not enjoy the wine from earlier today, has some words of advice for you, AQ Shipley. Actually, I have no advice for aq because AQ has been so bad at this football shot every single week. I actually can't believe how bad AQ has been. He's a professional athlete, and he has not even been even close to putting the football into the hole. So, aq. Yeah? I don't have any advice. You stink. Oh, my God. Prove him wrong. Yeah, Talk turkey to him. Yeah, talk turkey. Talk turkey, tool. Yeah, that's that turkey. Oh, my God. He was right. This guy sucks. You proved him right. Come on, man. Check this out. All right. Okay. Oh, is that right? Watch this. I'm gonna miss the whole backboard. What's this? Hey, Gumpy, who has a massive Thanksgiving game with his Miami Dolphins, has something to say to you. Yeah, aq, you're gonna do it. This is the one. It's been five weeks. You haven't hit anything. Wow. But before Thanksgiving, before you put the crown on your plate with everything else you love for Thanksgiving, the crown, you're gonna make this shot, bro. Nobody's eating nobody. Nobody's putting crown on their plate. Aaron said yesterday, loves crown. It's part of his diet, I think. What is the crown? Is it a sauce? Kind of like a gelatinous goop? It's a nice jelly. It's a beautiful jelly. It's a natural diary. Goes well on mashed potatoes. He does like the crab. All right. He likes for the good of the crown. Talk turkey to us, pal. 30 people, $500. This guy sucks. Good throw. I mean, they're hitting the rim. Okay, you're wasting it, man. It's a big moment for people. It's a big moment for you. I'm trying. Think I'm trying to. First couple. You are. You're God said go. Austin Connor, who's wearing a Centennial Daniel Bruins sweater, has a word of advice for you, AQ Shipley. Just completely everything you're doing, every change, it. Take a drop step, take a hitch. Set. Go. Set. Hut. Hut. Hut. On five, maybe got air forces on. You look good. You're talking turkey to these people. Yep. 30 people, $500. All you do is put that Duke into that hoop right over there. Boom. Jesus, this guy sucks. That one's in the locker room. Man, that was good. That was the best one. All right. The hell is going on? Yeah. Fire that pig skin, boy. Hey, I just want to have. Here's a piece of information for you before you do this because you seem like you're. You're not talking turkey to anybody. You're talking down on your side. Yeah. 49ers linebacker Fred Warner will play his ninth consecutive game Sunday night versus the Bills with a fractured ankle. Okay. What? So maybe you could put that football in that hoop right over there. If Fred Warner can play a football game with a fractured ankle, you think you could put that ball in that hoop? I think you can. For Thanksgiving. 30 people to win. $500 for Fred Warner. Come on. It's Joe DiNardo's birthday. Come on. Happy birthday, Joe Donardo's birthday. Well, thank you. Don't like him. He came around, he said, oh. Oh. Good throw. Oh, man, you're never going to make it. This is crazy. This is nuts. It's unbelievable. It's almost like a curse. I can waste the time. I get a basketball. Got one basketball shot. One shot. Waste of time. Ladies and gentlemen, this high school basketball hall of famer, AQ Shipley will attempt to do the moonshot, the stage shot. All he has to do is put that basketball. How's the NBA doing this year? Great. NBA's rolling. WEMBY. WEMBY is coming alive. Here we. The spurs are coming. I heard Charles Barkley's line about Wendy and wait in San Antonio. I'm happy to hear he still got his basketball. Did I see Jalen Rose on that show instead of Kenny the Jet? Yeah, he was filling in for Kenny last night. Okay. Love the Shaq. Still doing his thing. And I love that Ernie and the boys are coming over to ESPN for the good of everything in the basketball world. You know. Oh, that was so good. Do you know you could hit that. Keep it going. I know. I've seen how long. Yeah. That was really cool, man. Oh, yeah. WVU is up three on number three ranked Gonzaga right now. That's what we do. Okay. WVU's basketball team, we got a whole new crew. The coach brought his kid and they just fill up buckets. The Freeze. Yeah, you're damn right. That's his name. The Fries. Yeah. They're playing against who? Gonzaga. Number three ranked in the country. I don't think any of these rankings mean anything from the games that I'm watching. Well, yeah, Kansas was ranked number one and they were getting four points against number 11, Duke yesterday. So it does make a lot of sense. But they won. That's the main event, baby. Connecticut loses to Colorado and to Memphis. Memphis. Memphis seems like a wagon. They weren't even ranked, right? No. Yeah. Unranked and they got 14 pink polos rolling around over there. Yeah. They are fully in invested Auburn. This might be a good college basketball season. Memphis plays Auburn tonight in the final of that tournament. Well, good luck to. I assume Memphis is winning that game. Auburn's. They got Bruce. Auburn's favored by nine. They got Bruce as a coach. Yeah. Auburn had a guy who had 23 points and 19 rebounds last night. Is he a freshman? I have no clue. He plays inside and he could shoot it. I think his name's Broom. He's unbelievable. All right. For the good of college basketball and for Broom and for the broom and for McWhite guy. Sure. Yeah. And the Connecticut team that needs. Find it. Two losses out there in Hawaii. That's not good. No. For Michigan State. Are you guys ever going to be good again? We'll be good. We have Jason Richardson's son on the team. He's a freshman. He's Jerry. He's the guy. All right. For the good of college basketball and for the good of Thanksgiving. How about this one? You make that shot right there. Thanksgiving is going to be good for everybody. I know I made it early. Yeah, we already. We don't have to do that with this. We already did. We already did that. I don't want to put Thanksgiving on this ball. Come on. We already.
