Annie Agar
Okay, first question.
- [00:01]
Jerry
I have a guess. It's literally a guess. What? Let's go. You gotta stay focused, bro.
- [00:07]
Annie Agar
Oh, no. Matt, I'm so sorry.
- [00:09]
Matt
Oh, and look who wins again.
- [00:27]
Jerry
All right, welcome to another episode of Throwbacks. Matt and I are a little giddy this year for this one, but, you know, however you're taking this show, don't forget to please like and subscribe all that good stuff on YouTube. Follow along on social media at Throwback Show. Matt, we did this last year.
- [00:45]
Matt
I just found a bunch of my phone. Dude, I'm already laughing because I just forgot about all the ones that I screenshotted. Go ahead.
- [00:51]
Jerry
So last year we had this idea of let's do our year in review inspired by the amazing Twitter account that might be the best Twitter. Like, if I could only follow one Twitter account for the rest of my life, I think it would be the old takes exposed, AKA freezing cold takes. Right? They were gone for a while. Now they're back. We. We do this in honor of you. This show is basically being brought to you by them, but we are going to do our freezing cold takes of 20, 25. Now, I just want to point out, take business as a hard business.
- [01:24]
Matt
We get it.
- [01:25]
Jerry
You're. If you're on TV five days a week, you're gonna have misses. I am not immune to cold takes. Neither are you. I remember I said, Tyler Halliburton's gonna regret doing the choke sign in game one. Freezing cold take. They went on to game seven in the finals. So we are not immune to that, but we gotta just take our shots while we can. Matt, you look so happy.
- [01:48]
Matt
Right, well, like I said, I didn't plan on saying these ones, but I just. My boy RG3 earlier this year, I'm convinced that the Indianapolis Colts are trying to tank for Arch Manning. And then it's a picture of just Daniel Jones laughing. And then from bar, for my friends at Barstool, Belichick officially accepts the UNC job. The Tar Heels football dynasty has begun.
- [02:11]
Jerry
See, you could almost say that one was comedy. And if I was to lead off with. With a Belichick related one, this is from the dude, Dan Lebatard, who again, he's on the radio at a hundred times a year, so whatever. But the quote is the there is a beast coming to college football. This is not a lazy old man that you underestimate because you're forgetful about what he did for the last five years. You were watching. I'd be terrified to compete against whatever he's coming my way. That's Dan lebatar on Bill Belichick taking over North Carolina.
- [02:46]
Matt
Well, yeah, it's only one year, but man.
- [02:49]
Jerry
Yeah, rough start for the take.
- [02:53]
Matt
So I got one. This is from. I got one from Paul Feinbomb, who just needs to get off air.
- [03:02]
Jerry
He's got a bunch of them.
- [03:03]
Matt
He's just got to get off air. Stephen A. Smith goes. Did Indiana make the right move with Signetti and Paul Vine, Paul Feinbaum? They did not. I'm still not convinced that Kurt Signetti is one of the top coaches in America.
- [03:17]
Jerry
Do you think he's convinced now?
- [03:19]
Matt
Probably not. He's just.
- [03:21]
Jerry
He's still gonna die.
- [03:22]
Matt
Like, he needs to go. He needs to retire and get his ass off tv.
- [03:26]
Jerry
All right, I'll read a few and then we'll get to our main. Our main entrees. Some of these, I don't know. Oh, okay. Ryan Clark. But this one's in 2020, so sometimes it takes a few years for a take to freeze. Okay, so this is a Ryan Clark in 2020. If Kyler Murray were the QB of the Baltimore Ravens, we'd have much more confidence in them to win a Super Bowl. If I had to put one QB and say, this team takes X team to the championship, I always pick Kyler Murray first. That was in 2020. So that was Kyler Murray, like one year in or two years, I guess. I guess. I don't really know. He was trying to. To do with that one.
- [04:08]
Matt
Wow. Yeah. What's. Lamar's won, what, two MVP since then?
- [04:12]
Jerry
Yeah. And do you know who's a cold take favorite? And we actually went back and forth with him on Twitter last year when we brought him in. He doesn't have. I mean, he has a couple of cold ones, but our boy Orlofsky.
- [04:25]
Matt
Oh, dude.
- [04:25]
Jerry
Well, his.
- [04:26]
Matt
His coldest takes are food related. Guys, shout out to Dan L. Is my guy, but he's got the worst food takes of all time.
- [04:36]
Jerry
Although.
- [04:37]
Matt
Although I do. I me loving candy corn is probably one of the worst takes of all time. I get that. I feel like everyone just comes at me when I say that. I genuinely love candy corn and Halloween.
- [04:47]
Jerry
Well, his take going into the NFL season was. I think the Steelers are staring, looking at their schedule, staring at 06 right in the face. And I think they went 5 and 1. It's like, how do you.
- [05:01]
Matt
That's why you can't predict. You can't predict the NFL, man. It's too.
- [05:04]
Annie Agar
I know.
- [05:05]
Jerry
It's the job. I get It. It's the job and you're just going off feeling. But that's such a bold like 0 and 6. They're not going to win a game in the first six. Mike Tomlin's never had a losing record. Not going to win one game in the first six. They had the jets and the Browns and the Bengals on their schedule and he predicted 06.
- [05:25]
Matt
Yeah, not his. Not his. Not his smartest tweets.
- [05:29]
Jerry
All right, we're going to get some of his food takes, but should we dive into some of the. Some of the main courses?
- [05:34]
Matt
Yeah, I mean, I got two main ones, so let's go. Yeah, hold on. Here's a. Here's a quote from Dan ORLOVSKI. December of 2024. I grew up on mayo sandwiches. I grew up eating mayonnaise sandwiches on Wonder bread. That was a main staple of my food. Loving simple grilled chicken with ketchup, mayo sandwiches on white bread and disliking strong flavors. Bubbles, soda and complex dishes per basic items like vodka sauce for finding joy like dipping cake and milk that. Dudes, dudes.
- [06:08]
Jerry
That's rough.
- [06:09]
Matt
Dan, we gotta get. We gotta get Dan on. I'm trying to get Dan on Dan. Dan's one of the hardest working guys in the sports industry, though.
- [06:15]
Jerry
He is. And like, I look, this is all done in good fun. I. If I had to be on TV or doing a show every day for hours a day, Lord only knows the cold takes that I would have. So you have to say things to do. But some of these now are just fun to look back on. So now we're going to do our NHTSA one because that one has. Has a crossroad element. We do. Crossroad presented by nhtsa. The next time you're out drinking, call a ride, share a taxi. A sober friend, a designated sober driver. The only decision that will change your world for the better is the decision to call for a sober ride. Drive sober or get pulled over. So Matt, who is at a crossroads with their freezing cold take our boy, Joel Klatt. Our boy throwbacks on Joel Clatt. He had the picture.
- [07:10]
Matt
He had. So Joel clad is not one to shy away from ruffling feathers. Joel does a great job, in particular his hatred for the SEC conference. But. But Joel. Joel. Joel's very smart. Joel's got a lot of takes. They're not always right. But he was on a podcast recently and I'm gonna. I gotta pull up the exact quote, but he was on a podcast and it was. The whole conversation was about Cinderella Stories in college football, right? And, and this, these group of five admissions into the playoff and should they be in there and all of these things and all of this thing. And like, I think we all agree like a team, a group of five team isn't going to beat Ohio State. So like his whole point, and he compared it to the NCAA tournament, one of the greatest sporting events over a, a span of a month that we have in our beautiful nation, right? March Madness, it's what we grew up watching. It's what I skipped school for sometimes on a Thursday to go see the teams play, to watch at home. You follow it on your phone. You always were watching and you had the Cinderella stories. So give me a second here because I'm going to pull up this quote. The NCAA basketball tournament is a joke. It's the dumbest tournament and the least fair tournament in all of sports. We put teams at odd, odd times on neutral sites in a one game affair that doesn't crown a true champion. And then he kind of went off about it for like a minute or two.
- [08:42]
Jerry
Yeah, he pontificated on it.
- [08:44]
Matt
Yeah. And he was like. And he broke it down. He's like. And, and his point was, in a one game affair, anything can happen. The best team doesn't always win. But that's the beauty of March Madness, right? And then he kind of walked back though, because he was getting absolutely blasted online. Which by the way, I think he did it on purpose, if I know Joe. But it's gotta be the worst take in a long time that we've seen, Jerry.
- [09:10]
Jerry
And the question now for him is like, he has walked it back a little. But the other option, the crossroad is double down some people. And that's where you get in trouble with these freezing cold takes is like you're so out there that if you walk it back, people might start to say, well now you're going to say something else. And just know if you're wrong, you'll walk it back. You could double down on it is what you could do. But he's not.
- [09:34]
Matt
He, he put his tail between his legs and he basically said, guys, I'm sorry, it was not, it was not my, my finest moment. I was like, bro, just either own it or don't or don't say that March Madness is the greatest. Like you don't need. It's, it's. March Madness is the, the best time of the year outside of like football and kind of where we're at now, right? When we have all of these, we always Talk about, like, the best sporting events, best sport watching days. Like the best time of the year, right. Summers, where it dies. Like, March Madness is awesome, dude.
- [10:03]
Jerry
Do you know how many bachelor parties I was invited to that were centered around going to Vegas for March Madness to sit in this before gambling was on everyone's phone, you know, being in a sit in the Vegas sports book with March Madness going on with a bunch of dudes, that was like the bachelor party for like the mid 2000s.
- [10:20]
Matt
And then. And then, like, still to this day, like, filling out. Filling out brackets. Like you. Like everyone has like an online thing filling out brackets and. And following your team. It's the same way I view. I know you don't like fantasy football, but still like fantasy football. I enjoy because you get to, you know, whatever. Same thing with March Madness. I do, like, 50 brackets in this one thing. I literally. I probably put like a thousand bucks in. It's 20 bucks a bracket and people make fun of me, but I'm like, I'm trying to win, like 50 grand.
- [10:46]
Jerry
Have you ever won one of them?
- [10:48]
Matt
No. Yeah, I've won a small one, but, like, not the big one that I'm in. There's like a thousand people that go in it, but I. But you can do it. Unlimited brackets. You can do as many as you want.
- [10:59]
Jerry
So this isn't like a crossroad moment. And I'm gonna say, you know what, man? I may have to make a judgment decision because you're involved with this take. Okay? And I'm gonna say, it's not a freezing cold take because the world thought this. I don't know if you're able to see it on my phone. I might have sent it to you, but that's Brady and that's you and the entire big Noon team picking OSU to be. You know what? I. I talked to some people who are on the front. No, you know what? It's not. It was under review from the freezing cold take board, and there's no way anyone was going front and center saying Indiana all the way. So that. That was just a case of, you.
- [11:37]
Matt
Know, how many times that we. I had a rough year with my. My points. I think I picked that one. There was like three or four games where I was just dead wrong. And, you know, the, you know, the upset game. If we all pick the same team, they're. They never win. It's always an upset. I did not see that one coming. I firmly believe that Ohio State was going to win that game.
- [11:58]
Jerry
I mean, Ohio State probably wins that game eight out of ten times. So.
- [12:01]
Matt
Oh, for sure.
- [12:02]
Jerry
The the review board took a look at it and that was not a freezing cold tank. You're safe.
- [12:08]
Matt
I think I've had now I've had worse. I've had worse.
- [12:10]
Jerry
Well, thank you to Nitza and Joel Klatt. We just look for more. You know, there was a few in the golf world that really, really looked bad. My guy Dan Rapaport, who I love, said early on for the Ryder Cup, Scheffler and Henley will be this year's Molinari in Fleetwood. I believe that. I think we're getting a tour de force from Scheffler this week. Best player on the planet at the peak of his power. Ryder cup scar tissue to avenge. Can't wait for tomorrow. I think it was over after nine holes. I think Sheffler and Henley lost after nine holes. I think the whole thing was on. Breakfast might be the most important choice you make all day. That's because at Wendy's 2 for $3 breakfast you could mix and match your very own perfect pairing of our delicious morning favorites.
- [12:59]
Matt
We with this breakfast deal. The choice is all yours. It's not someone else's. And isn't that how it should be? It's your breakfast after all, not Martha's. She can pick her own breakfast. This one's all you.
- [13:10]
Jerry
No matter what you choose from our sausage biscuit with that grilled breakfast sausage or the egg and cheese biscuit with that fresh cracked grade A egg and melty American cheese on a fluffy buttermilk biscuit. A small size of perfectly seasoned potatoes or a medium hot coffee to power through the morning. All you got to do is pick your ideal morning pair.
- [13:30]
Matt
You really can't lose because you're the one calling the shots. The choice is all yours. Wake up to Wendy's two for $3 breakfast just the way you want it. Limited time only during breakfast hours. U.S. price and participation may vary. No substitutions. Not valid in a combo single item at regular price.
- [13:48]
Jerry
You know those days where you start with just a couple of friends and maybe a backyard grill going and before you know it you've got got the whole crew there. Music playing and the game on. That's a twisted tea day.
- [14:00]
Annie Agar
Twisted tea is a real brewed iced tea, but with a kick 5% alcohol so it actually tastes like the tea you love. Just a little bit more fun. It's full of flavor, super refreshing and smooth because there's no carbonation. That means you can sip it all day while the good times keep rolling. And if you've ever had twisted tea at a tailgate, guys, it is a game changer. There's no heavy, bloated feeling, just cold, split, smooth refreshment that pairs perfectly with burgers, brats and the pregame buzz in the air from the first parking lot toast to the last whistle. Twisted tea keeps the energy up without slowing you down.
- [14:32]
Matt
So this weekend, keep it smooth, keep it flavorful, keep it twisted. Grab a refreshing twisted tea today. There's a reason Chevy trucks are known for their dependability. Because they show up no matter the weather, push forward no matter the terrain and deliver. That's why Chevrolet has earned more dependability awards for training trucks than any other brand in 2025, according to J.D. power. Because in every Chevy truck, like every Chevy driver, dependability comes standard. Visit Chevy.com to learn more. Chevrolet received the highest total number of awards among all the trucks in the J.D. power 2025 U.S. vehicle Dependability Study Boards based on 2022 models. Newer models may be shown. Visit jdpower.com awards for more details. Chevrolet Together, let's drive.
- [15:09]
Jerry
To close out the golf. Cold takes Jason Sobel whichever side you're rooting for. The real shame of the Ryder cup is that for a sixth consecutive time dating back to 2012, the event will largely be devoid of any drama late on Sunday afternoon. That just stinks. Basically said don't even watch on Sunday. It's not going to be close. So shout outs and then my like I guess Juan Soto has to say that in an interview after he gets paid all that money. But he said early on I think we have the best chance to win in New York here, meaning the Mets. So he got caught on the freezing cold.
- [15:50]
Matt
What is it? What is your. What is your most freezing cold take of the year? Did you say it or do you have one? The one that just is like said it.
- [16:00]
Jerry
I was gonna save it for my Wendy's take. So what you know. But let's do it right now. You have your number one. Do you have any more honorable men?
- [16:06]
Matt
I have one. I have one. I have one more but I want to hear yours course.
- [16:11]
Jerry
Okay. Well Wendy's fresh take of the week. It's actually not a fresh take. Sorry Wendy's. This week we're doing our coldest take of the year. So join Team Tendies and enjoying lineup like never before. Crispy juicy Tendies now at Wendy's. So I don't know what goes on with quarterbacks. I mean I've watched football just like you. You played the position. So you'd be, you know, I guess it's, it's hard to pick which quarterback is going to be good. You would think Kurt Banker. You familiar with Kurt?
- [16:40]
Matt
Yeah.
- [16:41]
Jerry
You're familiar with Kurt? Okay. And again, this just same. This was like.
- [16:46]
Matt
Don't come at me, Kurt. I'm just saying what you said.
- [16:48]
Jerry
I'm just saying. I'm just put. Bringing up a freezing cold take. Just finished my Drake May review. He's more athletic than Mason Rudolph with less arm talent and a lot less accuracy. He has a lot of backyard football in his game, but doesn't have the athletic upside that I think it requires to live in that world as often as it does. He's super raw with his footwork and pocket presence. His place, his ball placement needs serious improvement. Defensive recognition struggles a bit, but I don't know that he's being coached well. However, dude will stand in there and take a hit while delivering across the middle. He's a third down threat as a runner, which is a checkbox in the NFL. All in all, I see some potential upside.
- [17:32]
Matt
That was his review and this dude's gonna win mvp.
- [17:34]
Jerry
Maybe dude's gonna win the mvp. Now, I only mentioned that because remember how we talked earlier? You could either like walk it back because look again, we're all wrong, or you could double down.
- [17:44]
Matt
Tell me he doubled down.
- [17:45]
Jerry
What do you think Banker did?
- [17:48]
Matt
I think he doubled down.
- [17:49]
Jerry
This was last March. March 29, 2024. What hap. What's happening with Drake May is eerily similar to what's happened with Christian Hackenberg. Hackenberg, in my opinion, lots of hype followed up by a less than ideal season and a lot of people holding on to the old hype of Drake May. So we kind of double down on the Drake. So my man Kurt, you gotta walk that back. You gotta get in the game. I don't know what you said recently, maybe you're raving, but there has to be a caveat when you rave about Drake May. Hey, I, I was way off on this guy. Maybe he did that already.
- [18:26]
Matt
That's a good one. I didn't know he said that. All right, I got, I got, I got one last one for you. And this is from our buddy, Nick Wright.
- [18:34]
Jerry
The gift that keeps giving.
- [18:35]
Matt
The gift that keeps. I do love Nick Take Machine. He's a good dude. He is a take machine. And, and, and again, he's one of those where I think he truly believes everything he says. I think that's what makes. Yeah, so in July he goes despite my chief's allegiances. I gotta call it like I see it. I think the Bills are going to be excellent again. No surprise. Okay, they're good. And I think the Raiders are going to be the AFC sleeper that sneaks in the playoffs. Then he followed that up. He, he, he quoted his own tweet.
- [19:05]
Jerry
That's always good.
- [19:06]
Matt
The more Broncos fans proclaimed that quotation no, really, this is our year. Not the six, not the six other years we've said that were true. But this, this one. The more strongly I believe they're staring at a last place finish in the AFC west with Gino and Pete stealing a playoff spot. Wow, buddy.
- [19:27]
Jerry
And as we look at as we record this episode, The Broncos are 12 and two and the only team in the AFC to have clinched the playoffs.
- [19:36]
Matt
The Raiders are going to pick at the number first pick at the 2026 NFL Draft. Your Las Vegas Raiders select, Fernando.
- [19:46]
Jerry
This is what's so and again like Nick Wright take machine. This is what's so perfect about that is a perfect freezing cold tape because here's the exact reason why Broncos might come in la Broncos last Raiders might sneak in. They have the exact inverted record. The Broncos are 12, two first place and the Raiders are two and 12. He was completely north pole south pole Nick Wright, the gift that keeps on giving. Yeah, I don't think many people predicted the Chiefs would miss the playoffs, but no one was definitely saying the Raiders were going to.
- [20:18]
Matt
Yeah, yeah. Oh man, he's got some good. He does. You could just go on his account and just get the top 20 of the year.
- [20:26]
Jerry
Do us a favor before we bring on Annie Agar and twisted T trivia. If you have one out there that's your favorite, send us please at yes, tag us at throwback show and then also tag old takes exposed freezing cold takes. They're a wonderful account and they're the reason why I was able to get all that information right away. We left out a few. We didn't want to go too too deep. But those are just some of our favorites from 2025 and I think now it's time to sit back, have a twisted tea and bring on Annie Agar and close out some trivia because boy does your man. I, I, I got to get my act together. So let's bring on Annie Foreign.

All right, joining us for the final time in 2025 courtesy of Twisted T. Annie Agar. I mean it's you thought I said final time. That made me sad. Just for the year.
- [23:43]
Annie Agar
We have another one just in the year.
- [23:45]
Jerry
Coming right back. Shout out to Twisted Tea. I might be popping one of those when the ball drops at midnight. Grab yourself a refreshing twist of tea today. Last trivia. I mean coming off the vibes of a skunking of a straight up shutout of a complete game shutout. I gotta capitalize on that. Annie.
- [24:05]
Annie Agar
This might be the turnaround for you. Jerry. New Year, new you.
- [24:08]
Jerry
You know, can I make a bold prediction? If I don't win this week in impressive fashion, I withdraw from the competition.
- [24:16]
Annie Agar
And you are fit.
- [24:17]
Jerry
This is it for me. If I win and look good, I'm still alive, I guess.
- [24:22]
Matt
Pressure then destroyed.
- [24:24]
Jerry
Annie, you're in with seats.
- [24:26]
Annie Agar
Deal.
- [24:27]
Jerry
All right, bring in the.
- [24:28]
Annie Agar
Bring in the relief picture.
- [24:29]
Jerry
So before we get going really quick, you know, everyone's going to be posting all over social about resolution. Some funny, some dead serious. I used to take the resolution thing very seriously. Every year I'd fly home for Christmas for New York. On the flight back to la, I would just write down some goals, and then I get to look back at last year's and then check them off on the plane. Do we have any New Year's resolutions of merit that we feel like are worth mentioning to the. To the listeners right now? Matt, why don't you chime in there?
- [25:03]
Matt
I think this one is kind of, as a parent, not to get all serious. I think having two, two things, having more patience, having a third, having the third baby has really taught us to have more patience as parents. I think they. We always say that, like the third, you kind of just like, they just go with the flow. They're just like an extra body. Like, it really has taught more patients, but just to really lean into that more this year with my other ones because, you know, even though she's easy, Cason has his issues and tantrum. Like, they just. They're all different phases. You know what I mean? So, like, just to be able to handle. Have more patience and then my one every year. And I just always. Is always to be more present with them when I'm with them. Like, get off my phone, which is something. I have a really bad habit. I think we all probably do a little more now. So just to like, not have my phone by me all the time when I'm with them and give them all of me, which is what they deserve, you know, because I. I've said this before, and this is my last thing. The perspective I had on parenting has really changed because of Cole having one in college, going to college now, and one in diapers. So it's allowed me to really kind of take a step back and say, like, hey, like, I really need to embrace and cherish all these times and these memories, be present with them. So that's just something in 2026, I'm sure all the parents and, you know, out there listening, like, it's just. It's number one for me. So that's about it.

Annie Agar
That's hard to do with our jobs. Too, to be present especially.
- [26:30]
Matt
It is. It is hard.
- [26:31]
Annie Agar
You're always on your phone and on social media and.
- [26:33]
Matt
Yeah. So, yeah.
- [26:34]
Annie Agar
That's a good one, though.
- [26:36]
Jerry
Annie, what about you? Can I get a personal one? And then I think I know what this one is, but, like, your sports. Sports.
- [26:44]
Annie Agar
Personal one. This is actually a really big one. I've really told. I told my couple of my friends I'm looking to potentially buy a house this year.
- [26:50]
Matt
Yeah, let's go. Let's go.
- [26:52]
Annie Agar
I would love, like, I love Chicago and I'll keep a place there, but I want land and I want to be closer to my family because, like, you, like Matt was just saying, like, it totally puts it into perspective when everybody starts getting a little older and you're like, oh, my gosh. Like, I want to spend as much time as possible with them. And the drive back and forth from Chicago is just so much. And being with my brother and helping out, being able to help out them more would be really nice. So I'm looking to buy a place around Michigan maybe.
- [27:17]
Jerry
Yes.
- [27:17]
Annie Agar
So that'll happen. Hopefully in the summer. We're gonna get through football season first. So that's the personal one. And then sports wise, I mean, a Super bowl would be pretty nice going the season with. I don't know. I'm not feeling too overly confident about that, Mike.
- [27:31]
Jerry
But does even a Super Bowl. Does a Super bowl appearance do it for you?
- [27:35]
Annie Agar
No.
- [27:35]
Jerry
You're the packers, though.
- [27:37]
Annie Agar
This is actually a great question for you guys real quick sidebar. Because a lot of Lions fans said they'd rather not make the playoffs. Do you see this whole thing?
- [27:45]
Matt
No. But, yeah, it's a great question.
- [27:47]
Annie Agar
So in terms of super bowl, would you guys rather your team get there and just get humiliated or not even make it?
- [27:54]
Jerry
I. My. My team has made it to the super bowl and has been humiliated in 2000. Yeah, whatever. 2000 against Ray Lewis and the Ravens. And all I will say is, whoever's saying that they'd rather lose, that's BS you don't. The two weeks of, like, media just surrounding the game for the super bowl and they're just talking about only two teams, and one of those is. Is amazing. I mean, it sucks to lose, but even with, like, my Knicks, which I have not experienced any joy, like, everyone says, oh, you'll make the finals and the Thunder will crush you. I'm like, so should I just not want to make the Finals then? Like, I would have been fine if the Knicks would have beat the Pacers and got Walloped by the thunder. I still would have enjoyed it. So I'm with you.
- [28:37]
Matt
Yeah.
- [28:37]
Jerry
I think it's a spoiled fan base. That's like, I'd rather. That's why Lions fans are shocking.
- [28:42]
Annie Agar
I. I would, I would rather much, much rather be at the super. Especially we go like, if we're personally there. You know how much I will rub it in people's face that the packers are there.
- [28:52]
Jerry
Yes.
- [28:52]
Annie Agar
If they make it. I don't even care what happens in the game. But it's not looking great. But anyway, that's my sports one. All right. Jerry, what are. Do we got to know yours?
- [28:59]
Jerry
Yeah. So similar to Matt, like on the personal side, you know, we have the baby coming, so it's going to be less stress and just enjoy the chaos. Right. That's. But the big personal one off of that is I. The best thing I ever did was like go to New York with my older son. Just him and I. Right. That is a lifelong memory. And I have to do it with my younger son because he literally says, dad never taken me anywhere. So I gotta. I want to try to really find ways to spend one on one time. It's a great. Especially the two older boys because they're at such an age and everything is in the family setting typically in that, you know, like, oh, we're all. Rarely do you get like one of them for a day or even two. That's not just survival mode. So that's. That's a big one.
- [29:48]
Annie Agar
That's a really good.
- [29:49]
Jerry
The sports one is just don't become that sports parent that we all know because my son's really getting into basketball and it's getting competitive. Can I share? Can I overshare a moment that made me cry. This one made me cry. So one day after practice, my son's playing up in basketball all the older kids and he is small and I didn't even want him to do this. That's how small. He talked to Greg Olson about it and Greg even recommended just do it and if it's not fun, quit. So he was asking me like that. Some of these kids, like, they don't pass me the ball is because I'm really small and I had to have this whole talk with everyone's still learning, don't worry about it and whatever. We're walking into practice last week and there's a kid outside the gym crying and the mom's like comforting him and he's like, don't pass me the ball. My 6 year old on didn't know when it walked up to the little kid, put his arm on his shoulder and said hey listen, my team doesn't pass me the ball either. And it's not just because you're small, it's because everyone's still learning. And I, I'm like who are you? Where do you.
- [30:53]
Matt
That's awesome, dude.
- [30:54]
Jerry
I, I don't know where he gets that. That's all him.
- [30:59]
Annie Agar
Because that is so cool.
- [31:00]
Jerry
When I was a kid I would have been like haha, he's crying. If I would have sucked it crying at that age, I would have been like laughed at him probably.
- [31:07]
Matt
Like he's got a good soul, man. He's got a good soul.
- [31:10]
Annie Agar
That is so sweet.
- [31:11]
Jerry
But the, the sports goal is to not become that crazy. Like just. That's my big goal because I could feel myself doing it right. Like the team's three zero. These are six and seven year olds. What do you mean we're three zero.
- [31:24]
Annie Agar
At least you keep score some teams.
- [31:26]
Matt
My buddy, yeah, my buddy just sent out an email for Casein's 6 year old. You know like the youth basketball league here. He played last year and he's a good dude. So he's. He sent out the email like yeah, you know, the three main goals are learn the game, you know, improve our fundamentals and have fun. And I texted him on the side, I said bro, our goal is to win every game.
- [31:48]
Annie Agar
Yeah, it is.
- [31:49]
Matt
And he just goes lol, you're right. But like you know, I was like come on man.
- [31:53]
Jerry
Yeah, I got to go the fun route. At least your kid's going to be a. It's a part of the winning. My gonna be a vibes guy.
- [31:59]
Annie Agar
Yeah.
- [31:59]
Matt
Well the problem is and case and we've been on really good team so far. Baseball like pretty lucky. And so they lost the game last spring or last this fall and he just freaked out. He's like, I'm like so we're trying to, you know, trying to teach kids like you're not going to win every game, you're going to lose. Right. That's obviously effort and be good sports and all that kind of stuff. You can still be upset that you lose and be competitive but like at 5 like they have no clue what that means. Yeah, that's great dude. That he did that man, that's so good.
- [32:26]
Jerry
What sport did you play sports growing up, Annie? Like I did.
- [32:29]
Annie Agar
Yeah.
- [32:30]
Jerry
What was your sport?
- [32:30]
Annie Agar
I almost played softball in college. I was a catcher.
- [32:32]
Matt
I could see you as a tennis player.
- [32:33]
Annie Agar
Just really? Yeah.
- [32:35]
Jerry
What kind of sports? Parents Were yours, like, as parents?
- [32:38]
Annie Agar
Oh, guys. My dad played. He played for the Tigers for a couple years. I don't know if I ever told you.
- [32:43]
Jerry
Yes.
- [32:43]
Annie Agar
So he. And he was my coach in Little League for. Oh my gosh, the worst ride home. And I know people will resonate with this is when you lose a game and your dad is driving you home. And I purposely say, hey, dad, can I ride with mom? Because I knew the entire car I got lectured was just going to be a lecture of talking to, thinking and. But. But I'll tell you what, it was the best. Like, I learned the most from him. It was. It was perfect. Like I would want it any different. It was amazing. As brutal as it was, it taught me so much about just life, even in general. So, yeah, that was crazy.
- [33:15]
Jerry
That's just the car rides home, that is a. That is a universal experience, regardless of what. Whatever level of athletics you are. So some of those car ride. I mean, riding home after a win too was always pretty.
- [33:26]
Annie Agar
Oh, yeah, yeah. And then the mom. You know, moms are always there to say, great, you played a great game. My dad's over there shaking his head like, no, she didn't. So good.
- [33:35]
Jerry
See, my problem always was like, I was very into whatever the snacks were going to be after the game.
- [33:41]
Annie Agar
Oh, yeah.
- [33:41]
Jerry
I needed to know more so than what was going on. I'd be like talking on the field. Be like, you guys know they bring. They're bringing Dipsy Doodles after this.
- [33:48]
Annie Agar
That was my just cosmic brownies.
- [33:50]
Matt
Dunkaroos.
- [33:53]
Jerry
Well, everyone's into like prediction time. And I know we always ask before we get into trivia of what we like. And I mean, it's kind of hard to imagine. I don't. For the first year, I don't have any clue. I guess maybe the Mahomes Chiefs effects not being in it. Other than just like, I feel pretty strongly about like Bill's Josh Allen. I don't know anything else other than.
- [34:16]
Annie Agar
Such a weird year. I. I don't know because the, like, the whole NFC west west, other than the Cardinals is insane. Like, they could. But 49ers are still up there. Seattle, Louisiana.
- [34:28]
Jerry
Yeah. You almost have to take the west in the nfc even though. But you could.
- [34:33]
Annie Agar
Because they could all like, cancel each other out type of thing.
- [34:35]
Jerry
Too North. I mean, I don't know. I can't even really.
- [34:38]
Matt
I'm gonna make a bold prediction.
- [34:40]
Jerry
Oh, we like this. We like this. I think.
- [34:42]
Matt
And it's not. It's not necessarily bold because their record is really Good. But no one's really talking about them.
- [34:48]
Annie Agar
Okay.
- [34:48]
Matt
I think the 49ers are going to make a run in the playoffs.
- [34:51]
Annie Agar
Yeah.
- [34:52]
Matt
I think. I think they got a shot to get to the super bowl. I know NFC's tough, like Seattle Rams. They're just. They're 10 and 4 and no one's talking about them.
- [35:00]
Annie Agar
Yeah.
- [35:02]
Matt
And.
- [35:02]
Annie Agar
Yeah, there's a couple of those games.
- [35:03]
Matt
I think they lost a game with Mac Jones was starter.
- [35:06]
Annie Agar
So, like, without two of their best defensive players, too. Just. Yeah.
- [35:09]
Matt
I just feel like. And I do think. I do think this is the year for Josh Allen to. To get there.
- [35:15]
Annie Agar
Do we see a Bills 49ers Super Bowl?
- [35:19]
Matt
The NFC is going to be tough. I just wouldn't be shocked if the Niners are right there in the NFC title game.
- [35:24]
Jerry
What would shock you the most, though, in the nfc? I think we'd all be shocked if anything. But the Bills. Chicago would shock you.
- [35:32]
Annie Agar
Oh, God, please don't ever. Please don't even say that out loud.
- [35:35]
Jerry
That would hurt.
- [35:36]
Matt
That would.
- [35:36]
Jerry
That would bring a lot of hard times.
- [35:38]
Annie Agar
Nothing like that would ever happen. That'd be really hard. That. Just let them move to Indiana in peace and don't make a Super Bowl.
- [35:47]
Matt
God, what a disaster. That.
- [35:48]
Annie Agar
Is that crazy.
- [35:49]
Matt
Yeah. Kidding me. Get your shit together, Chicago.
- [35:53]
Annie Agar
I know. And why do. Why do it the week of, like, a huge game? Talk about this after the season. Stadium talking. Wait, did you hear about this, Jerry?
- [35:59]
Jerry
No.
- [36:00]
Matt
You didn't hear about it?
- [36:01]
Annie Agar
No. Kevin moving it. Bears GM came out there. He's saying they're not moving fast enough in Arlington Heights, where they're trying to move the Bears new stadium. So he said, I'm. It's not. I'm not opposed to moving into Indiana, so.
- [36:14]
Jerry
Well, he's just saying that to wake up whatever's going on with Arlington Heights.
- [36:18]
Annie Agar
But now Bears fans are all pissed off because they're like, why. Why are we talking about this now? Mid season. Like, this is postseason talk.
- [36:24]
Jerry
You have plenty of six and 11 seasons to talk about. Yeah, you want to talk about it now?
- [36:30]
Annie Agar
That's what I said in my twisted tweet video, actually. I said, you know, Indiana just saw good football. Let's not. Let's not ruin it yet.
- [36:37]
Jerry
Well, look, that's obviously like, not a whole lot to talk about in Cleveland, where I'm at with the team, but, you know, they're moving their stadium, and that's a huge talk because it's the first time ever, too. I really look like the whole. To Me, the whole downtown of Cleveland, like, the sports kind of is the financial culture. Like when LeBron left Cleveland cast.
- [36:59]
Annie Agar
Yeah. That's how Detroit is.
- [37:00]
Jerry
A lot of bad things start to happen with bars close down. And I feel like if the Browns leave the flats, then I wonder what happens to a lot of those businesses. So he was just trying. That was some passive aggressive. That's like my wife saying, like, God, I wish we had a healthy meal tonight. Saying like basically means like, I need to. I don't make.
- [37:20]
Annie Agar
I wish someone would help with the Christmas stuff.
- [37:22]
Jerry
Yeah, this is a passive aggressive thing. It ain't going to Indiana. I would be stunned. All right, let's see if I could basically remain in this competition, because if it doesn't go well, I'm out.
- [37:33]
Annie Agar
So twisted trivia, twisted trivia. We have a bit of a theme. Little Seahawks theme here.
- [37:38]
Jerry
Oh, gosh.
- [37:41]
Annie Agar
Okay, first question. Which team came into the league at the same time as the Seahawks in 1976? Oof. This is going to be more so a guess, because I would never have known this. I don't think majority of people know this.
- [37:57]
Jerry
I have a guess. It's literally a guess.
- [37:59]
Annie Agar
Okay.
- [38:00]
Jerry
Now Matt's gonna wait for a hint. So I. This is why I don't. I'm not gonna trouble.
- [38:04]
Matt
I'm not gonna get. I'm like, yeah, all right, then let's get.
- [38:06]
Jerry
So then let's. Well, but if you have a guess. Yeah, I see your strategy. Don't be mad. I have a guess, and I'm not gonna say I'm gonna get the hint just like you.
- [38:15]
Matt
Okay.
- [38:15]
Jerry
Do you have a hint, Annie or. No hint.
- [38:17]
Annie Agar
I have a hint. It's a team. The team is in the NFC South.
- [38:24]
Jerry
Okay, I'm going to venture a guess. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
- [38:28]
Annie Agar
Yes.
- [38:28]
Jerry
Let's go.
- [38:30]
Matt
That wasn't your original guess.
- [38:32]
Annie Agar
Okay, question number two. Who has the most receiving touchdowns in Seahawks history?
- [38:39]
Matt
Steve.
- [38:40]
Annie Agar
Oh, stop doing that. You too.
- [38:43]
Jerry
I thought that that was me. You're gonna think I'm lying at 100.
- [38:48]
Matt
Thank you, Adam. Look at the chat. Look at the group chat.
- [38:50]
Annie Agar
I cannot believe three weeks in a row. No.
- [38:54]
Matt
Eddie has been wrong every time because he said we also tied last. He was wrong. Thank you, Cole. That was a close one, though. That one was definitely.
- [39:01]
Annie Agar
That was a super close one. Okay, who has the most rushing touchdowns in Seahawks?
- [39:07]
Jerry
Sean Alexander, by the way. Wow. What?
- [39:11]
Matt
I was still talking while you just said the question. I was.
- [39:13]
Jerry
You got to stay focused, bro. She said a whole. Well, no, I'm.
- [39:18]
Matt
I'm reading. I'm reading. Eddie's. Just stir the pot. And then you said the question. I wasn't.
- [39:22]
Annie Agar
Oh, no, I'm so sorry.
- [39:24]
Matt
Honestly, sorry.
- [39:25]
Jerry
That was on me snoozing. No, it's not on any.
- [39:28]
Annie Agar
It wasn't like a quick question.
- [39:29]
Jerry
The question was who was. I wasn't leading Rush in rushing. Touch.
- [39:34]
Matt
I played against him.
- [39:36]
Annie Agar
We can negate that one.
- [39:38]
Matt
No, he can have it. Genuinely, I was not. I wasn't ready for it.
- [39:41]
Jerry
You can have that free point. We are going to do an investigation on the Steve Larget one.
- [39:45]
Matt
I have the Steve. I'm not worried about that one. Let's go. It's. This is every week.
- [39:49]
Jerry
It's.
- [39:49]
Matt
You've been up 2:1. And then I always get the last two, so it's fine.
- [39:53]
Jerry
Not last week.
- [39:53]
Annie Agar
Okay, we have a picture first. Picture. Who is the Seahawks player?
- [39:58]
Matt
Cam Chancellor.
- [40:00]
Annie Agar
Yes, that is correct. Picture number two. Who is this Seahawks player?
- [40:06]
Jerry
Tyler Lockett.
- [40:07]
Annie Agar
Nope.
- [40:08]
Jerry
Damn.
- [40:08]
Matt
Oh, that's Doug Baldwin.
- [40:11]
Annie Agar
Yep, that's true.
- [40:14]
Jerry
Probably play with him. Wait, that. That Steve Largent's under investigation, so definitely not.
- [40:18]
Matt
That'll. I'll win by the millisecond.
- [40:21]
Annie Agar
It's like a. It's like a ref makeup call. Because then I screwed up with you.
- [40:24]
Jerry
Do you notice, though, I'm winning a lot of the questions and Matt's winning a lot of the pictures. Do we notice a theme going on here?
- [40:33]
Annie Agar
He's not winning a lot of the questions either. So I'm.
- [40:37]
Jerry
I mean, I'm on a heater.
- [40:42]
Annie Agar
Two back to back weeks. That was.
- [40:43]
Jerry
I won five of the last six questions. You're going back to last week?
- [40:47]
Annie Agar
Yeah, we.
- [40:48]
Matt
It's like. It's like. It's like a seven game series, right? It's like even if I win four, three, I still win the series and move on. Okay. All right.
- [40:56]
Annie Agar
You could have your seven game series is what happens when you make the playoffs.
- [40:59]
Jerry
So I guess I gotta sit after that. Well, once we get official word on Steve Largent. Yeah, then we'll sit. But if it comes back the way Matt thinks it comes back and I will. If you want to tap in, Annie, I will. I will stand down as a defeated man. And then you get in the chair and let's put some heat on it. I'm not even against colluding to make him look bad.
- [41:18]
Annie Agar
Oh, amazing.
- [41:19]
Matt
All right, Bring it.
- [41:21]
Jerry
All right. Thank you, Andy. Listen. Happy New Year.
- [41:24]
Annie Agar
Happy New Year.
- [41:25]
Matt
Happy new year.
- [41:26]
Annie Agar
Happy 2026.
- [41:28]
Jerry
2026. 2026 is upon us. I cannot believe it, but it's going to be a good year. Thank you to everybody behind the scenes that makes this show happen, and thank you to everybody who's listening, and we'll see you in 2026.
