From the deep inside the bowels of the city market in Kansas City, Missouri downtown property
to the banks of the beautiful crystal blue waters of the Missouri River
it is the original two, Topher and Mark, given the 2024 football predictions for the season.
You thought they were done, didn't you?
Hehehehehehe
Anyone wonder what these two dullards look like?
Yeah, me neither.
More annoying than a 3am piss boner.
Kicking your ass with size 15 clown boots and a deep Tracy hat.
Let me mute the old one.
If I don't mute the old track, then we have to listen to it all the time.
Oh yeah, like last time.
Yeah.
But they can't hear it, they have no idea what's going on.
No, it's overdub.
Alright.
Do you have the games? I forgot to do a printout.
I do.
Oh good.
Let's see, first thing I want to say is it's the first of the bye week weeks.
This coming week Detroit, the Chargers, Philadelphia and Tennessee are on bye.
Oh yeah.
It's only 13 games.
It's weird, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.
Yeah, it's 13 games.
Okay.
How would you like to be a team that has a bye week then?
Wouldn't you be like, just like, man thanks a lot NFL.
Yeah.
There was one season that someone had to have a bye week every week, including the opening week.
Because there were an uneven number of teams in the league.
Oh yeah.
And I remember Jim Rohn saying, I guarantee you, whichever team winds up having to take that first week bye is going to pretend like it's the best thing in the world.
And sure enough, whatever team it was like, oh yeah, that's great.
It gives us an extra week.
A head start on the...
Yeah, he's right.
...the shit.
Speak the line.
Speak the narrative.
Don't get in trouble.
So here's the math problem I'm having.
We have 32 teams, right?
Mm-hmm.
So two teams per game, that's 16 games a week.
Mm-hmm.
This week we have four teams off.
So that's two games worth.
So we should have 14 games.
We have 13.
Oh yeah.
How does that work?
You know I don't have an answer.
I don't understand.
Okay.
Yep, last week we had 16 games.
So maybe I forgot to write down somebody, but this was on the NFL schedule for week five was these 13 games.
Okay.
And that's why we don't have a double header on Monday night.
So let me double check, but I can't figure out where that extra game went.
I don't know.
Good point.
Anyway, so we have NFL week five, that one, that one, that one.
There's Bears, even Commanders.
Ah, Dolphins Patriots, that's one I didn't write down.
Oh, okay.
So that one is going to be Miami.
So there is, okay, there is 14 games.
Okay.
Yeah, you had me baffled there.
I'm like what the hell, where did it go?
Okay, so that one's going to be out of order.
But that is a noon game.
Okay.
I'll try it again.
Everybody forget it.
We got it solved.
All right, brain fart.
Yeah.
Too much, too much party game.
Let's look that way.
Okay.
So you want to go right into it.
All right, first game is the Thursday night game, Tampa Bay at Atlanta.
This is going to be like the Tampa Bay and New Orleans game, I think.
I think it's going to be a nut tucker, real nut tucker.
I think that eventually you're going to see Atlanta emerging as the victors,
but it's going to be by 24-21.
Atlanta?
Atlanta.
Because I've got to write them down in the order they are.
All right.
I'm going to go with Tampa Bay this week.
Almost did.
24-23, one point game.
Of course, one of them is going to blow out the other one, you know this.
We're going to look like idiots like always.
I think we're both looking for the same game to happen,
but you're looking for it to go one way at the end,
not looking for it to go the other way at the end.
Exactly, it's going to be that one fumble or critical mistake
that's going to lead to the other team getting it.
Yeah.
All right.
So good, right off the bat we got one different.
Yeah, I like that.
The second game is going to be at 8.30 in the morning, central time,
in London, New York Jets at Minnesota.
Actually at London, but Minnesota is going to be considered the home team.
Yeah, yeah, they gave up the home game.
Boy, that's going to be tough,
but I think I'm going to probably go with Minnesota.
Yeah, I'm going to.
I'm going to say, boy, they're going to be disoriented.
31, I'm giving them a lot of points and I don't know why.
31 to 27.
All righty.
I'm also going to Minnesota.
Jet lag is going to be about the same for both teams.
I think Minnesota is for real.
I think the Jets are going to have some internal strife.
I think so too.
They're going to try to bounce back from last week,
but it won't quite.
I'm going 27-13 Minnesota.
That's probably more like it, but oh well.
All right.
All right, for the Newton games on Sunday, Carolina at Chicago.
That's an interesting one.
Yeah.
I look for the Red Rocket to be enough in there to take down Chicago.
Caleb Williams looks good, but not right ready yet.
No.
And we're finding out Carolina is not such a bad team if you've got the quarterback.
Exactly.
Yeah, so I'm going to go ahead and say the Red Rocket punches through again.
Yeah.
We'll give them 20.
No, no, no, no, no, no, 21-20.
Nice.
I'm doing a lot of one-pointers this year.
Close games, yeah.
Yeah.
I think I'm going to be a lot more closer games because there really aren't that many
blowouts.
No, no, not anymore it doesn't seem like.
And even if there is a blowout, the other team seems to come back always.
Yeah.
I think Chicago is going to be able to win at home 23-20.
Excuse me.
I like this.
We're already doing different.
Do some different things, yeah.
We're both getting a better feel of the teams too.
Yeah.
I can see Chicago at home having a decent game, getting a decent effort out of Caleb
Williams.
I could too, I could too, yeah.
And then Carolina kind of riding the high of last week could have a let down.
I can see that.
Yeah.
The things I say to justify my picks, it's amazing, isn't it?
No, I do the same thing.
It's just like I'm giving a lot of points to a team that's going to have jet lag.
Well, yeah.
It's probably not smart, but that's what I do.
All right.
Next game, Cleveland at Washington.
Washington.
Yeah, this is when I'm going to pick a blowout score.
I'm going to say 35-17.
Jaden Daniels strikes again.
I'm pretty close.
I was going 32-17.
Not only is Jaden Daniels going to beat their ass, but he's going to ass him up on the way
out.
When they're getting on their bus to go home, he's going to go rub his butt on it.
All over it.
He's going to give them a good assing before they leave.
I think 17 points for Cleveland might be a little generous, but I'm not going to change
it.
It probably is.
Yeah, me too.
I'm going to leave it there, but they may not even get that.
Yeah, I agree.
All right.
Well, that's the first one we got where the winner's going to hit.
No, let's see.
We got a couple of them where the winner's going to get double what the loser has.
Yeah.
Like you said, that's rare in the NFL, so I think two of them's generous.
Next up, Indianapolis at Jacksonville.
Indianapolis, of course.
I'm believing Indianapolis this season.
They may make the playoffs.
Yeah.
They may do that, nine and eight.
And they've got playoff experience as an organization not too long ago.
Yeah.
Flacco had a run last year with the Browns.
Yeah, that's true.
Okay, I'm going to say 27-24.
You're good.
What do you say?
I'm going to make a little more decisive, Victor.
I'm going 27-10.
That's probably more likely because Jacksonville's been so lifeless,
but I kind of feel like Trevor Lawrence is going to have to put up a fight somewhere.
I think it's going to be this game.
Yeah, he might at some point start thinking, you know, I need to start fighting for my job.
Oh, I'm guaranteeing you that's going on here soon.
Because, you know, it's not like they're going to pull him for the, you know,
and bench him for the backup necessarily,
but they're going to look for a replacement in the offseason.
Yeah, he's going to be trading in his replacement.
Well, he probably isn't. He's probably going to be gone.
If the organization you're on drafts a quarterback any higher than like the fourth or fifth round,
you better be nervous.
Yeah, yeah, because they're not happy with you.
Yeah.
All right, let's do the Miami at New England.
New England.
Yeah.
New England being a home team, but Jacoby Brissette is a decent quarterback.
Their defense isn't too bad.
Yeah.
Miami is lifeless.
They are.
Just lifeless.
Literally.
Huntley isn't doing anything either, just like Thompson wasn't.
Let me think here.
Oh, no, you go ahead.
I got New England 23-10, lots of field goals.
I'm going to say 18 to 12.
All right.
There's going to be a safety in there somewhere, needless to say.
Probably so, yeah.
In order to get a score of 23, that would be the three touchdowns in the safety or...
Six field goals, no?
Oh, well, I'm sticking with it.
Yeah, it's not easy to come up with 23.
But you can miss an extra point.
Yeah, there you go.
I'm going to go with that.
As odd as it is, I love it.
All right, Buffalo at Houston.
This could be actually a pretty fun game to watch.
I think there's going to be a back and forth seesaw battle.
Diggs is going to do the best he can to destroy them.
Oh, yes, absolutely.
He's got a chip on his shoulder.
He doesn't like Buffalo.
They essentially told him, you know what, fuck you.
We're going with Josh Allen.
So he's going to try to shove that decision up their ass.
Yes.
Just plain and simple.
I'm going to give the Texans the edge.
I'm going to say they're going to get 34, 32 Texans.
I'm going to go Texans as well.
Buffalo is going to try to get back on track.
It's not going to quite work.
But we're both going for a high scoring.
I'm going 31, 27 Houston.
Okay.
You got a two-point game and I got a four-point game,
so that's pretty close.
We feel exactly the same way.
Yeah, yeah.
All right, Baltimore at Cincinnati.
Ooh.
Yeah, division rivals, so they always play each other tough.
Yeah, yeah.
Baltimore just had this high of beating the shit out of Buffalo
in prime times.
Somebody that they were worried about in the playoffs.
Yeah, I'm going to go Cincinnati because Cincinnati has a great way
of neutralizing dynamic offenses while being kind of humdrum
but staying in the game.
That's true, that's true.
They've got a very particular odd way of winning.
They don't just come out firing on all cylinders.
I look for the game to be 21 to 20 in favor of the Bengals.
All right.
Yeah, this is actually a tough one to predict.
I could make a case for just about anything.
Hey, Baltimore could be on such a high that they're going to mow through them.
Yeah.
I guess the Bengals always seem to play down their opponent
instead of playing up to their opponent.
Yeah.
So that's why I go with low score game and I'm giving them the edge.
Okay.
I'm going to go with Baltimore in this one.
I think Lamar Jackson is going to cause them to have PTSD about Patrick Mahomes
and they're just going to flip out, I thought we already played this guy.
You know what?
And then not to mention Travis Henry.
You're probably right, but go ahead.
Well, I've got a 27-13 Baltimore.
Cincinnati will get a touchdown and a couple field goals.
Sounds reasonable.
Yeah, I mean this is getting harder and harder to pick, you know,
not because you don't know, it's because you know too much.
It's made up.
Yeah.
All right, on to the 3 o'clock games.
Las Vegas at Denver.
I think Vegas is going to have a comeback.
Yeah.
I think Min Chu is going to, Heidi, do you want to say anything?
No, it's a podcast.
Boy, she could have ran off any quicker.
She's probably heard of us.
Yeah.
Well, I know that podcast, no.
No.
Those are the two bastards that used to be douchebags.
Yes.
All right, so we're talking about Las Vegas at Denver.
Las Vegas 24-20.
It's, man, it's tempting to take Denver because they're at home
and Vegas is kind of having trouble.
But Bone X just isn't there yet.
Does Denver have a home field advantage right now?
Not right now.
No.
You know, they talk, well, a mile high of the air is thinner.
Okay, go to Wyoming, University of Wyoming.
Yeah.
Their football field's about 8,000 feet above sea level, so suck it, Denver.
No, I think they did that as an aura.
Yeah.
Oh my God, this is that mystical 10-mile high, you know, that stuff.
When I see the University of Wyoming playing college football on TV,
they never go on and on about the elevation of the football field.
No, no, no, that's just Denver doing that.
That's just Denver.
And that's doing that, trying to put something in their pocket ahead of time.
Yeah.
So, yeah, I'm going to have to go with the Raiders on this as well.
28 to 14.
Okay.
I think Denver's going to look okay.
I'm still waiting to see if Boeniks is starting to get more of the playbook at his disposal
or whether they're keeping it simple.
If they're keeping it simple, then he's not doing as well.
If they're starting to give him more and more complex plays, then that means he's catching on.
So I'm going to watch for that.
Yeah, that's a good point.
He's either turning the corner or he's not.
Yeah.
I'm going to say he's not right now.
Yeah, I haven't seen any signs of it yet.
I mean, he looks like pretty much any other rookie quarterback that's been pushed in to start.
Yeah, and I was kind of high on him at first.
I thought he was going to do pretty good now.
I think he's kind of going to be, I don't know, another Drew Locke.
Cayman went.
And it was odd because Oregon runs a pretty much a pro-style offense.
And Boeniks did pretty well in that last season.
I know.
But, yeah, it's not translating all that well.
Yeah.
Everybody in the NFL is faster than everybody in college.
Yeah, and then when you get there, you realize what they say.
Yeah, and it's night and day.
It isn't just a little bit.
It's like you hit the ground running and you're going to get squashed.
Yeah, it's like take your, the worst player you played against in college and how fast and tough he was.
Now you've got a whole team of those guys coming at you.
Yeah.
Because that's who makes it to that line.
Yeah, I agree.
Okay, next up we have Arizona at San Francisco.
Again, division rivals.
That's about the only interesting thing I think that's going to be about this game.
I'm going to go with, oh man, I actually think this is going to be a really good game.
Oh, okay.
I'm going to say Frisco is going to edge him out 32-28.
Nice.
I'm predicting a lot of high scores for whatever reason.
I don't know why.
The league loves high scores.
Yeah, you're right.
Yeah, I mean Arizona, they've got the equipment there.
They could put up 28 points, no problem.
It's just a matter of doing it.
I just got a feeling that's it.
I don't quite have as much faith in Arizona, so I'm going 30-10 San Francisco.
That's very possible.
San Francisco wants to stretch their legs a little bit, especially within the division,
and they're going to try to put up a bunch of points this week, I think.
That's why I'm going to 30-10.
I think that's going to be San Francisco's game plan is score a bunch of points
and then make them try to catch up.
Okay.
That was my thought.
Yeah, that's cool.
I'm sorry the table's wobbling so much.
I'm trying to keep my legs in between it so I quit, but man.
Next game, New York Giants at the Seahawks.
The Seahawks are definitely going to be angry.
Yeah.
They're going to be punching.
I think that you're going to see them win 33 to 12.
I'm doing weird scores this week.
Yeah.
I'm either going to hit it big or go down in flames.
Yeah, I agree.
Seattle is going to be... They got manhandled by Detroit last week.
That was pretty much all you could say is they just got...
In the minute they thought they were back in it, they got squashed again.
Yeah.
So yeah, they're going to be hungry.
They're going to be angry.
They're going to be jealously guarding the points they get.
Oh, they're waving their fists in the air right now.
Motherfucker.
Anyhow.
I'm going to go 31 to 17.
I'm picking 17 a lot.
Seattle wins 31-17 over New York.
I think 17 is a good number.
I mean, there's been a lot of 17s this year.
Yeah, two touchdowns and a field goal.
That's what that looks out to be.
I think this might be the week that a lot of offenses break through.
Yeah, good point.
They get comfortable.
It won't be nearly as hot as it has been.
Yeah, it's also the counter because everyone figured out the offenses over the offseason.
Now they're figuring out the defenses over this season.
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
This one might be tough to call Green Bay at the Rams.
That is going to be tough to call.
Yeah.
I'm going to go with the Rams because I think they've got to stop the bleeding somewhere.
I think that Green Bay is kind of reeling.
I think they're kind of having a little bit of self-doubt now.
They're kind of in the doldrums.
They don't know if Jordan loves the guy or not.
They thought he was going to get injured.
They thought he was going to come out throwing flames.
And that's not really what's happening.
No.
I think they continue their skid at least another week.
Yeah, I would say so.
And the two teams have playoff history.
Yeah, yeah.
And Green Bay doesn't always come out on the top there.
Oh, I agree.
So.
20 to 10.
That sounds like a good score.
I like that.
I'm going to go with the Rams as well.
I'll go 24-13.
All right.
Yeah, I mean, we both kind of feel like Green Bay is kind of lost right now.
They're trying to regain their footing.
Yeah, and Minnesota is looking like through the first quarter of the season,
Minnesota is looking like the class of the division definitely.
Yeah, no one's catching them, I don't think.
Yeah.
The Lions are going to try.
Yeah, yeah, they're going to try.
So I think it's going to be Lions and Vikings fighting for that division.
And Bears, oh my.
Oh, no, no, no Bears in it.
Lions and.
All right, so we got that one Sunday night.
Hang on, Wizard of Oz to all you youngsters.
Oh, yes.
Look it up.
There we go.
All right.
Sunday Night Football, Dallas at Pittsburgh.
This is a real tasty one.
Yeah.
Is it possible for both teams to lose?
We might find out.
I'd be okay with both teams getting an L at this.
I think that Mike Tomlin is going to outmaneuver McCarthy.
Yeah, it shouldn't be hard.
Yeah.
Justin Fields is going to run a lot on him.
Yeah.
I'm giving it to the Steelers.
Is it in Pittsburgh, right?
It is.
All right.
You know, yeah, the steel curtain is there.
Sunday night in Pittsburgh.
Yep.
Steel curtain looking up.
Yeah.
All right.
Twenty seven, twenty four.
Steel town.
I also think Pittsburgh is going to win.
Excuse me.
Dallas has been up and down so far this season.
They don't have an identity.
You don't.
Yeah, you don't know who's going to show up, how they're going to play on the road at night in Pittsburgh is pretty awful.
The terrible towels are going to be everywhere.
Yeah.
And these two teams have.
Do they still have them?
Yeah, they do.
Oh, they do?
Okay.
Yeah, they'll be everywhere.
The horrible hankies.
Horrible hankies.
The terrible toilet paper.
Stop it.
The terrible toilet paper.
Yeah.
These two teams have like Super Bowl history, but that's been so long ago.
Nobody cares about that anymore.
Nobody remembers.
No.
But that was they played each other at least twice in the Super Bowl.
More than I think.
In the 70s.
Yeah, yeah.
We're talking man.
Bradshaw days.
Bradshaw, yeah.
And who was the who is the Cowboys quarterback, ex Navy guy?
Staubach.
Yeah, Roger Staubach.
Yeah.
Starbucks.
Roger Starbucks where they got the name for the coffee.
Yeah.
I like that.
Yeah.
He's the coffee purveyor.
Yeah.
He had many a battles with the Steelers.
It's like that guy on Battle Star Galactic.
Staubach.
Yeah.
He said, man, I'm just going to go back in time and start a coffee franchise.
How come you got the mermaid?
Shut up.
Mind your own business.
Mermaids are hot, man.
Shut up.
Yeah.
Mind your own business, you fuckhead.
What were we doing?
I can't remember.
Steelers.
Yeah.
All right, I'm going to go with Pittsburgh.
Okay.
It's going to be a tough game.
You can beat Dallas, but you can't beat Dallas easily at this point.
You can't beat him.
Yeah, that comes later on in the year.
Yeah.
Twenty four to 13.
All right.
Pittsburgh over Dallas 24 13.
That's what I'm doing.
Okay.
And then the best for last, the Monday Night Football game, New Orleans at Kansas City.
Okay.
Kansas City is going to keep up even with their depleted white outs, even with their
depleted running back.
Their defense is still their defense.
Oh yeah.
And they are going to feast, I think, on New Orleans.
I do too.
I think it's going to be the same, same MO.
They're going to get behind seven to nothing or ten to nothing, and then they're just going
to stop it.
They're going to go, all right, we see what you guys could do.
They're going to rope it dope, like they've been doing.
Come on, keep hitting us, keep hitting us.
Is that it?
Okay.
Now I know what you got.
Yeah.
That's definitely how I see this going, is the defense is going to give New Orleans
a really hard time.
Derek Carr is going to make mistakes.
Likey, yeah.
I'm looking for two interceptions.
Yeah, I agree.
And the Arrowhead volume, the noise at Arrowhead is going to be-
It's going to be insane.
Yeah.
It's going to be nuts.
Because the idea of going up five and oh, yeah.
The hometown crowd is going to be all over it, definitely.
If it was a Sunday night, that might be just even a little bit better because everyone's
been off all day.
But Monday night still, it's going to be an amazing atmosphere.
New Orleans is going to come in and get gobsmacked.
I agree.
I'm going to say 24-10.
Okay.
Mahomes' first 300 yard game this season.
Oh, yeah.
Good point.
And multiple touchdowns, too.
Yeah.
I'm going to go 31-10.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
So I'm looking for a big passing day from Mahomes.
Hopefully he'll spread it out and a lot of different people will catch a few passes rather
than one person catching a bunch.
I look for Gray and Watson to be involved.
I also look for Hunt to be involved.
And this is passing.
Of course, Kelsey is going to have his share.
Smith-Schuster really didn't get on the field last week, did he?
No.
That's a great point.
Smith-Schuster is going to have to be on the field for us.
Yes.
He's going to have to contribute.
I don't know if they were just letting him kind of get to feel his legs under him again
or if they really don't think there's that much left in the tank.
It's hard to tell.
Yeah.
How old is he?
32, maybe?
He's in his 30s.
Yeah, hang on.
It could be something as simple as he didn't match up well against the Chargers.
A lot of times that's what happens.
Yeah, it's like, okay, looking at the Chargers secondaries, Smith-Schuster is going to get
eaten up, so we're not even going to start him.
Maybe it was that.
And also confidence thing, too.
I mean, he gets eaten up on this game and like the rest of the season, he may not be
the same.
Yeah.
So, Juju Smith-Schuster's age.
27.
So I thought he was in his 30s.
Okay, I'll look for him to have 70 yards.
Yeah, I would hope for at least that much considering he's, you know, 27 is like prime
age for a receiver running back, et cetera.
You're on your second contract usually and you've got a lot of years under your belt.
He had a horrible year last year, but he was injured.
Yeah.
He never was quite 100% from what I understand, not like I watch the Patriots.
But so I'm going to go ahead and say he's going to revamp a little bit.
He may not be what he was before, but I think he's very serviceable, 600, 700 yard guy.
Yeah.
So.
Get 70 yards a game, you'll hit that easy.
I agree.
Okay, we will see how we do on this one.
Yeah.
I like our predictions this week.
Of course, I liked last week's too.
Me too.
Yeah, I didn't want to say that, but I was thinking, uh-huh, we always love our picks,
but do they love us?
Yeah.
Yeah, maybe not.
I think it's a one-sided love.
Yeah.
The picks we make insist on adhering to reality as much as we'd like to pretend and do over
and go back in time.
Life smacks us down.
Sit down, guy.
Just go over there and sit down.
Don't worry about it.
It's okay.
You don't know that much.
We accept it.
All right.
Bullet points.
Love me some bullet points.
Me too.
This is getting to be my favorite segment after we bomb terribly on our picks.
Was Buffalo exposed?
I think so.
I think a lot of people learned some interesting things about Buffalo last week.
I think so too.
Yeah.
I think everyone learned not to underestimate Baltimore.
Yeah, that's true.
It's like Baltimore was kicking their butts up and down the field.
Yeah.
But yeah, that lets everyone know, yes, you can do that to Buffalo, even with Josh Allen
and everything they've got and everything.
It's not like they're decimated by injury or anything.
That was your regular Buffalo Bills team.
Yeah.
They just got clobbered.
Yeah.
Vaughn Miller, where was he?
He was in the field.
When teams hide injuries, like maybe he's got an injury or something and they're not
telling us, you're just letting everyone speculate that he can't play anymore.
Yeah.
I mean, is that really better than just coming out and telling us, well, okay, he's got this
massive bruise on his thigh?
Yeah.
I mean, just tell us so we don't... I always told my employers that, if you don't keep
me informed, I'm going to speculate.
I'm always going to speculate the absolute worst possible thing for you.
I love that.
Yeah.
It's like, where's this boss that we used to have?
Don't worry about it.
Okay, well, I'm just going to presume that you killed her and buried her in your backyard.
So that's what I'm going to believe until you tell me otherwise.
Well, fine, we transferred her to Wichita.
It's like, that's all you had to tell me.
I can tell you're not used to telling the truth here.
So yeah, if Vaughn Miller is hurt or tweaked or he's had a death of a close friend or something
that's keeping him from playing well, just tell us that instead of just...
Or maybe they found a good way to neutralize him.
Yeah.
But the thundering silence while we all wonder what's going on, it's always bad.
He got blown up at the line quite a few times, so we'll see.
Was Josh Allen harassed and brutalized on the field?
He had more green on him than white.
Yeah.
And then the Ravens, do they play a bit dirty?
A little bit, yeah.
I mean, they've been a physically tough team for a while, but yeah, there seems to be lately
more and more intent to cause physical pain.
I mean, not harm to like injure the guy and get him out of the field, but I want you to
be in so much pain that you never run to my side of the field again kind of stuff.
I've got one statement, one statement only.
Hardball is a hardball.
Yeah, of course they're playing a bit dirty.
Yeah, that's bad news for us because the Chargers have always been a slightly dirty, really
physical team, and now they've got the other hardball there.
Yeah, I know.
So they're just going to get worse.
They're going to get some guy like Biggin who's going to come in and pinch your nuts
at the bottom of the pile.
The Biggin' ball-biter.
Yeah.
I'll tell that story before we sign off, okay?
The Biggin' ball-biter.
We've got to refresh that one.
Yeah, we do.
That's too good of a story.
I tried to look that fucker up.
I'm not going to say his real name, but he's nonexistent or dead.
I don't know.
So anyhow.
Oh, hang on.
I got this one first.
Is Sam Darnold for real?
I would say yeah.
I would too.
He's looking like he's for real.
Yeah, it looks like in the right system he's a damn good quarterback.
He was ex-Lyons, right?
Lyons and Rams swapped quarterbacks.
West-Afford for Darnold.
No, no, no.
You're thinking of Goff.
Goff, yeah, okay.
No, Darnold came from New York.
That's right.
Yeah.
It was supposed to be the it, and it didn't work out.
Yeah, Darnold has kind of turned it around, and it looks like he can do some stuff if
he's led, and he has the right game plan around him.
Yeah.
Okay.
A little cliche.
Put him in a position to succeed.
Yeah.
So then, are the Vikings for real?
God, I hate to admit it, but I think they are.
I think they are too.
Yeah.
I think they are too.
They've got enough pieces in the right places that they can get it done, and they're getting
it done.
The thing that gets me is it seemed like they knew all along they could make Darnold what
they needed him to with the right system, and their defense is good enough.
It seems to me like they just did all this stuff and said, hey, next year we're good.
Yeah.
When nobody gave them that much credit, I didn't for sure.
Yeah.
When I heard Cousins left, I thought, well, okay, get a better guy in, and I saw Darnold
was like, oh man.
No, that's what I thought too.
I'm like, why?
Yeah, it was like a lateral move, but no, it wasn't.
It was kind of like when Geno Smith went to Seattle.
I'm like, well, why'd they get him?
Why don't they draft the next guy?
Well, they saw something we obviously didn't.
Yeah.
So, and New York didn't either.
Yeah.
So.
Well, bullet points, will Mahomes get back on track, or is this just enough, the new
normal?
He seems to be doing that a lot.
Yeah.
Just enough to win.
He's too young to be doing that.
He needs to get back to being the Patrick Mahomes that were, not the Patrick of his
first two seasons starting, but the one that we're used to seeing where he can pull off
some crazy crap when he needs to.
Yeah.
But this, this keeping the game just insanely close, it's not sustainable.
No, and also I think they're doing what they need to do.
This goes back to what we said in the first episode of this one.
Yes.
It's what they need to do to win and they're winning.
So they're like A plus right now.
Yeah.
The year that Mahomes had the over 5,000 yards, and this is with 16 games, and he had 50 touchdowns,
he didn't even have Tyreek Hill.
He had Schuster, Scanline, Travis, Gray.
I can't remember any other receivers.
Who was the running back?
Was it like Williams, one of the, Damian Williams or Darrell?
I think it might be Darrell Williams.
Yeah, we had a couple of Williams at the same time, Damian and Darrell.
I think it was Darrell Williams.
So he doesn't necessarily need that Tyreek Hill, of course.
No.
He needs the right combination of receivers.
So I'm going to say, yeah, he's going to be back when they get that combination again.
Yeah.
Damn, I just got buzzed by a bird.
I did too.
I would say.
They hate our show.
I would agree that if this is the new normal from the homes, then something's wrong.
Bingo.
Because you can't go from what it has been to just this and have it be, well, this is
it, just get used to it.
And if this is the new norm, then it's psychological.
Yeah.
Because everything else is the same.
Now, okay, I got to say this though.
Defenses are attacking him differently.
They are.
Yeah.
I think it may have some to do with it, but not all.
So if the defense is attacking him differently, and I'm going back to that one key pivotal
game, and that was the Super Bowl against Tampa, where Aveda and all those guys just
came straight at him and just started terrorizing him.
Yeah.
Well, it seems to be like that's what they're trying to do now.
And it does work considerably.
So do maybe the Chiefs have to change something up?
Is this Matt Nagy?
Is this Matt Nagy and his principles?
Yeah, I would say so because what I used to see was defenses said, okay, let's keep Mahomes
in the pocket.
Yes.
So they concentrate on the outside rushes, and then they would give pressure up the middle.
Yeah.
And Mahomes could just step up.
You're hitting exactly what he had.
Yeah.
And he still had time.
And he was murdering people.
Yes, he was.
Now it seems the philosophy is let's send people straight up the middle as hard and
fast as we can and get into his face as fast as possible, and we don't have to worry about
him scrambling to the outside.
So he could still sail that bomb into the breadbasket on the run.
When he had time, he hit Worthing for a 60 yarder.
No problem.
Not that much effort.
Yeah.
So I think the key to Mahomes is number one, protect him better.
Don't flush him out of the pocket.
If he's in the pocket, that guy is so lethal.
Yeah.
I mean, it used to be, well, that guy can run too.
They're having spies on him and everything they can to try to stop him from scrambling
because he's so good at that.
So now he's got to go back to being the pocket passer, but I think this starts with the run.
You have to have the run set up the pocket passer because that's how you get protection.
Yep, yep.
You got all these guys flying in at the quarterback and they run right past the running back who's
got the ball.
That slows down the pass rush.
They're not doing that next time.
They're like, man, every time hunt's eating us up.
So we're going to have to stop that.
Okay, we're going to have to step back.
You can't just go in and just assuming Patrick's going to have the ball anymore.
That's done.
You got to keep them a little bit more honest.
And I don't think they've really necessarily been keeping them honest.
Even with Pacheco in there, they haven't been keeping them honest.
And I think that's one of the things, and that's probably a flaw in the design of the
game of how they're going about it.
Because there are plays you can use to counter different types of things the defense is doing.
Yeah, they have counter punches.
If the defense is rushing straight up the gut as fast as possible and giving the homes
like two seconds, then the way you counter that is you go back into the shotgun to start
with.
That gives you more time, and then you start handing the ball off right away.
Or you get the ball immediately, pitch it outside.
Or you do what Elway used to do against the Chiefs all the time.
You stand back in the shotgun, the ball is snapped, Elway would turn to his right and
start running, but then he'd corkscrew around and keep turning and eventually he'd be running
left.
And that was his rollout.
Because he would start running left and make almost a complete circle and wind up running
right.
But by doing that, he gets outside of the rushers.
And Elway would run out to the left, find somebody open, and nails from anywhere from
six to 20 yards, over and over and over.
And Elway was not a mobile quarterback.
Not really.
He was all thumbs on feet.
Yeah.
So if you can't throw it fast or hand it off fast, then do that rollout and get away from
them and have somebody knowing that's going to happen and be ready for the ball when it
comes out.
That's what I would do.
I think they will do some screens.
Screens take so long to set up.
Just have the quarterbacks just immediately scramble out.
Don't wait.
Don't wait to see if the rush is coming.
Just know it's coming.
Do the old two backs in the field.
Yep.
Left or right, you pick.
Yep.
Filters choice.
You pick wrong, you're fucked.
Yep.
They'll even run some option plays.
Option plays would be excellent.
Yeah.
That loosens up the defense like anything.
Yeah.
Snap the ball to Mahomes and he just takes off running to the right.
Yeah.
And as soon as he's about to get tackled, he pitches it back to the running back who's
been shadowing him, and that guy cuts it upfield.
Or even do the Kelsey.
Yeah.
Kelsey can do very well in a running back situation, too, where it's kind of like a
lab roll instead of a handoff.
Lethal like that, too.
You've got to start, to me, incorporating some different ideas, and maybe they have
them already.
Yeah.
They're 4-0.
They don't have to bring them out yet.
True.
Yeah.
If it's a pass rush up the middle, then get out quickly.
If it's a pass rush around the edges to keep you in the pocket, then run draw plays.
And I'll put it like this, and I guess we can cap it off at that, okay?
Okay.
All right.
If you want to, if you're done.
Sure.
Okay.
Here's what I say right here.
I have no choice but to trust the Chiefs.
Yeah.
Two in a row, 4-0.
It's ugly, but they do it.
Yeah.
So I have no choice but to believe there's more there, but we're not seeing it because
they don't have to.
That's true.
They're unveiling just enough to get it done, and then I'll show it off.
Maybe that last year.
Yeah.
Last year, going down the stretch, once again, after that Vegas game.
Yeah.
After that, Flusher.
Mm-hmm.
And it slapped them hard enough to where they had to bring out some different ammo, and
they did it.
Yeah.
So I don't think it's going to take that this year, though.
I think that slapping last year did it.
Yeah.
So we'll see.
Okay.
Are you done with the Chiefs?
Just one last thing I wanted to mention is our oldest son, Jesse, mentioned that he had
heard that Taylor Swift was calling plays or helping design plays with Kelsey and the
Homes.
I think that was a gag.
They said that, but I don't know.
Yeah.
But when he told me that, I just started smiling, because that's exactly the kind of thing a
PR department would come up with to, one, make the Swiftie fans love it, and, two, make
the Swiftie haters blow their stacks.
And what they did is they put it in stuff like the online son.
Uh-huh.
You know, hey, hey, hey.
Just filtered it out there, here and there.
They clickbait all the time, so they ran with it, like, oh, good, this will get everybody
to listen or watch and read it.
Yeah.
So that's a good point.
I just thought that was a pretty fun little rumor they started just to see what kind of
traction they could get.
For all I know, it's actually happening, but it probably isn't.
But either way, I don't care.
I don't know.
I mean, is she that smart?
I think she probably is.
Look at her business decisions.
Smart, yes.
Football smart.
Who knows?
Probably not.
Exactly.
Who knows?
Next one.
CJ Stroud having some issues.
Is he going to change from that pass happy guy to a happy medium?
And what I mean by that is, is like, not doing the bombs so much.
More of a balanced.
Yeah.
More of a balanced offense.
I think they're going to have to.
You know, I think you're right, but that would be a real shame.
It would be because everyone loves seeing him throw that long pass.
Yeah.
I really like the wide openness and the excitement of it.
I guess he could become more of a mainstream type of quarterback, but still have the ability
to do the game winning drives.
I kind of see that for later in his career.
I think right now he needs to keep being the gunslinger.
Yeah.
And the team, I think, would be better to take advantage of his arm strength and his
confidence and his cockiness and everything he's got going for him right now.
Just take complete advantage of it.
He's never going to be in better physical shape than he is right now.
I agree.
The years are just going to hurt him.
Like all football players, they just get more beat up.
I agree.
I think you might see more of the pass happy come playoff time.
I think they're going to make it in the playoffs.
Maybe they're like the Chiefs and they're playing it close to the vest and hiding what
they're capable of.
I think right now they figured him out to a degree so they're just going with it, but
they're going to design different things to loosen up the defenses.
You know these other coaches are watching what Andy Reid is doing and they're copying.
Oh, he's still ahead of the game.
Exactly.
That's what happened already.
He's so successful right now that you've got to look at him and say, can what he's doing
work here in our organization?
So everything that Andy does to scout the opponent, take advantage of weaknesses, it's
all being copied.
Oh, yeah.
And if it works for other teams, they're going to keep doing it.
I've got a great example of that.
That would be Bill Parcell's Brian Billich.
Yeah.
Bill Parcell's invented the quarterback and the insane defense.
Yes.
That's what Brian Billich did.
Both of them won.
Yeah.
And they're about all.
Yeah.
That really actually was kind of the 85 Bears.
Yeah, it was.
And the monstrous 46 defense.
And Jim McMahon was really kind of average.
Yeah, he was.
He was flashy.
Yeah.
So people tend to think he was really good.
Yeah.
But actually, he was a pedestrian quarterback and he didn't last that long either.
No, he didn't.
Of course, they also had Walter Payton, which really helped.
Walter Payton and then William the refrigerator Perry.
Yeah.
And that's funny.
We thought the refrigerator was just this comically huge, massively overweight.
Just like, oh my God, how could anyone weigh that much?
Is he still alive?
I believe he is.
Oh, wow.
But his playing weight was like 325, 330, which is pretty normal now for alignment,
the defense of our offense.
But it's funny to think in 85, having a football player at 330 pounds was just comically overweight.
Yeah.
And people were actually getting on the radio and TV saying, well, they should help him
because he's so large, it's just going to kill him and he's not sustainable and he's
killing himself.
But that's the normal now.
Yeah.
It's funny.
Yeah.
And that's not out of the ordinary.
330 is an acceptable weight for alignment.
That's it.
There was an episode of The Simpsons where Homer wanted to intentionally wreck his health
to get on disability.
So he chose to overeat.
And the gag was that he got up to, oh my God, 300 pounds.
The Simpsons have been around a long time.
That must have been one in the 90s.
That was in the 90s, I'm sure.
But that was the comically huge, large weight that Homer Simpson got up to was, oh my God,
an entire 300 pounds.
They started in 88 with a Tracy Ullman show.
Yeah.
And that was such a big hit that Fox got the spin off.
The spin off.
And I believe that was probably about 90.
The Ullman show was already over with.
Yeah.
And it got spin off about 90.
So no telling when that was back then sometime.
Yeah.
All right.
Are we done with that?
Yeah.
I was just bringing up how the weight of a player has-
How it's changed.
Yeah.
It's amazing.
Could Stevon Diggs be a cancer?
Yes.
I don't know what's going on behind the scenes.
I mean, they look all right, but they don't look the same.
I cannot pin anything on that on Diggs, but I'm going to tell you what's going to go on
is that this game coming up this weekend is going to speak volumes of what's going on.
Yeah.
Stevon Diggs is going to have revenge on his mind, how he handles that is going to be the
key.
And can his old teammate get him out of his game?
Exactly.
Can they get in his head?
Yeah.
I think they can, but I still pick the Texans.
Yeah, I agree.
But yeah, Stevon Diggs is going to be a problem in Houston.
Brandon Iuke is going to be a problem in San Francisco.
Devontae Adams has the potential to become a big problem in Las Vegas.
He will be.
He's already kind of speaking in tongues, if you will.
He's saying some wind comments, you know.
Don't you think Devontae would rather be on the New Orleans Saints with his buddy Derek
Carr right now?
I would say.
I would say so, yeah.
He did everything else to go play with him now.
Yeah.
Yeah, next thing, yeah.
I just won't go into it.
I just.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Joe Flacco to the rescue again.
Yeah.
He should stay in there, Phil, until otherwise known.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
He should definitely plan on being back next season.
Yeah.
Somebody is going to need somebody to come in and rescue.
If it hadn't been India, it would have been Miami.
Yeah.
Yeah, he'd be playing there.
Yeah, Miami could use him so bad right now.
Yeah.
If he were twins, Miami would have his twin, because both situations are just perfect for
him to step in and help the franchise keep the ship floating.
You see, the fact that they just got really just nothing quarterbacks tells me that they
want to draft Hyde next year.
Yeah.
And that's going to look for the next guy.
Yeah.
So I can't necessarily say what they're doing is stupid.
It actually isn't.
It's actually the opposite.
They're like, all right, well, this guy is not going to be able to play that much longer.
And besides that, he never was the guy to take a team on his back anyhow, so he was
really good, but not great.
Look for the next guy.
Okay.
Does Sean Watson toast?
I would say he's toast.
I do too.
Gone.
I think...
He's already lost the team.
Yeah.
And the city is probably turning on him.
Because if he was playing lights out and having all these troubles, the city would be on his
side.
But yeah, they've given him every opportunity, every chance, and he's just not getting anything
done.
He's just being really pissy about it.
So I'm going along with the prediction that by Halloween, he'll be no longer a starter.
And by the end of the season, he'll no longer be on a team.
And by the beginning of next season, he won't be on any team.
I think that's Sean Watson's future is this season in the NFL is his last, and this month
is his last as a starting quarterback.
I think he's done after that.
I'm right along those lines too.
I would have said in the past, some teams like Dallas or Las Vegas would take a chance
on him.
But anymore, they're like, nah, there's just too much at stake.
And this guy has shown...
They've learned lessons.
Yeah.
He's a PR nightmare.
He's a legal nightmare.
He's a fan appreciation nightmare.
Who would want that?
He's viewed as a predator now.
Yeah.
Not good.
No.
And like I said, the football I grew up in the 70s and the 80s, he still would have had
a spot because, oh, well, he's doing well on the field and we'll just overlook the other
things.
But now you can't overlook the other things because all of those are equally important.
He's got to be a decent guy off the field.
He's got to be good in the press conferences.
He's got to get a good home life.
He's got to do well on the field.
Then you can market the snot out of him and everybody makes tons of money.
So if you can't do that with him, but you can with somebody else, of course you're going
to dump him and get somebody else.
My only statement about him is your quarterback should be able to pass a background check.
Your quarterback should be someone that you're comfortable leaving your grandchildren with
for the weekend.
Yes.
We might as well move on because it's not going to get any better than those two lines.
Is Dallas safe for now?
I don't think so.
As far as their season goes?
Well, I mean, yeah, yeah.
I mean, like they might be on track.
They're going to go to the playoffs.
We're pretty happy with them.
We don't know how far they're going to go, but you know, they're progressing all that.
Yeah, I think they're doing okay for now.
They're avoiding any kind of quarterback controversy or head coach controversy because everyone
just figures McCarthy's out anyway.
Yeah, they're figuring he's playing for like an offensive role somewhere, offensive coordinator
role or something.
Yeah.
And historically speaking, Jerry Jones does not fire a head coach mid season.
He lets them finish the season and then they're done.
He's a gentleman.
Yeah.
And it's better for the team.
It's just better overall.
And then you've got the off season to go find somebody and you don't have some lame duck
interim coach.
So I think Dallas is going to muddle through this season, but I really don't see them doing
anything different than they have been, which is fade down the stretch and then blow it
in the playoffs.
I agree.
That's what I see for Dallas year after year until they show me otherwise.
I think one more of those and there's going to be a revolt.
And I think there is going to be one more of those.
Yeah, I do too.
I think the big part of the revolt or a key component of the revolt is getting Jerry Jones
out of his own way.
Yes, they're going to have to some way, somehow.
I mean, look at them.
They've got that enormous city, that amazing stadium, enormous fan base, all the money
in the world.
Why aren't they winning Super Bowls?
Because Jerry Jones can't get out of his own way.
I believe that they surpass Houston and San Francisco and are the number four market in
America right now.
I think so.
Yeah.
So that big of a, well, I mean, not like the Giants, the Jets at least tried, the Giants,
but still, they are football down there.
Friday Night Lights is them.
They can pretty much dominate the state in a way that other teams really can't quite.
Yeah, and they're down there just blowing the opportunity, almost stepped on our court.
I was like, shit, I'm going to put that up there.
I was like, ugh, okay.
When it starts affecting season ticket sales, then you know it's a big deal.
I don't think it's ever going to like that, no.
But everything else is trash.
They're merchandising everything.
You don't see people walking around with Elliott jerseys.
No, I used to.
Yeah, I did too.
I remember seeing Raiders and Cowboys jerseys were the ones that I saw more right after
the Chiefs jerseys.
Chiefs were always the number one, but Raiders and Cowboys were like two and three.
Everyone's afraid to wear a DAC jersey.
Yeah.
They're like, I don't know what I'm getting.
Yeah, you get laughed at.
Yeah.
You know, it used to be you wear that jersey and you're like, yeah.
Now it's like.
Now it's, yeah.
It's like, how did he do last week?
I don't want to wear his jersey.
I offer him an ice cream.
Are you okay?
Come here.
Here, eat this ice cream sandwich.
It'll make you feel better.
Would you like a coloring book?
Mike McCarthy's going to take it to make his way book.
Oh, I found the absolute world's worst coloring book.
Oh yeah.
It was a Star Wars coloring book featuring all Empire stuff.
They're all black and white.
And that's the way the thing's printed.
It's black on white pages.
There's nothing to color.
I actually saw one.
It was like, there's nothing to color.
It's all black and white.
Why do they give you a charcoal stick?
That's what you color with, son.
They just give you a blank page.
It's making my fingers black.
All right.
Next one.
Yes.
Doug Peterson.
Toast?
Toast.
I would be surprised if he got a coordinator job in the NFL going forward.
Yeah.
I don't see the Chiefs getting him back.
I think he would have too much pride.
Actually, I think he's got too much pride.
He won a Super Bowl with Nick Foles as quarterback.
He went to the playoffs several times.
And he's regressed from there.
I think in his own mind, he's probably like, I don't have to be a coordinator.
I won the Super Bowl.
I should be in that.
I don't see even a head coaching job in college opening up for him.
No.
Unless it's like kind of a nowhere town, which he wouldn't go to.
No, he wouldn't go to.
Yeah.
I think combination of his performance and his ego that he's probably done after this.
I think so too.
Yeah.
I remember Doug Peterson.
Oh yeah, that guy.
Oh yeah.
Isn't that Carl's brother?
I think he'll be in the category with Rich Cotite.
Google it.
Or no, no, no.
Search it.
They don't do Google.
They search it.
Yeah, search it.
Rich Cotite.
All right.
Trevor Lawrence.
Trash.
I think he's...
Gone.
Not as a person.
Yeah.
As a quarterback and as a starting quarterback, I think what you're seeing right now is what
you're going to get going forward.
I think it'd be great to have a fucking joint booth on the ocean side.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'd go...
Got a hot girlfriend.
Got great taste.
Yeah, I mean, but other than that, no, you don't want him your quarterback.
No, I think...
Modern day Spicoli.
Only seven foot tall.
Yes.
He is Spicoli.
The future I see for Trevor Lawrence is bridge player, mentor QB, backup QB.
I agree.
But you're never going to...
I've already mentioned.
I don't think you're ever going to win the Super Bowl with the guy, so why would you
have him as the starter of your competitive team if you're never going to win the Super
Bowl with that guy.
I agree.
I think he's shown that by now that he needs a really damn good team, and then he can be
a part of that damn good team, but he can't make the team better.
Every time I see him, I get this.
My dad's a TV repairman.
I can fix it.
He got awesome tools.
Yeah, Brady made everybody on the team better.
Moe's makes everybody on the team better.
Elway made everybody on the team better.
Trevor Lawrence needs everybody on the team to be better so he can match them.
Yeah.
And then backup, mentor.
Backup and mentor.
Yeah, that's it.
And then eventually a quarterbacks coach for somebody.
Yeah.
That's a great career.
It really is a great well-paying career.
He can be very well respected.
I'm not even so sure he's going to pursue that path.
I wouldn't think so.
No, I think he's happy.
It's there for him, but I don't think he's going to.
Yeah, I don't think he's that much into it, honestly.
And when any more players get paid so much that if they're smart with their money, they
don't have to work after football unless they just want that lifestyle still.
Yeah, some people have it in their blood.
I don't think he's one of those guys, and that's not dogging him.
It just isn't.
That's not his thing.
But they could retire from football and live at our standard of living and be just fine
until age 150 or so.
He's in the perfect place as a quarterback.
I can see him be in a beach bum.
Yeah.
Like, make Jacksonville love you, and then when you retire, stay there.
Car dealership or two, open a motel or not a restaurant.
Those always fail.
Yeah.
But just be a fixture in Jacksonville as like, yeah, I was a great guy for a while, wasn't
I?
And then just be the face of Jacksonville football.
I think he needs to open up a chain of restaurants called 420.
It's 420 somewhere.
Yeah.
It just features battered fry foods.
Yes.
Okay.
Jaden Daniels, going to take the commanders on a lengthy playoff run?
Yes.
I think they are.
Yeah.
They may not make it to the Super Bowl, but I can see them being in the divisional game,
in the championship game easily.
Yeah.
I don't see the Eagles doing much from this point on.
I don't see the Giants doing much.
So unless the Cowboys can mount a charge, it's Washington's division to lose.
I agree 100%.
Yeah.
I think, I also think that they know this too.
Yeah.
I think that they're like looking around when we could finally, no Dan Snyder, we got the
guys quarterback.
They're not embarrassed of their franchise anymore.
Exactly.
It had to be just embarrassed as hell, like, oh, Dan Snyder, what'd he say this time?
Yeah, we're making that dickhead money.
Yeah.
And the way he was so contemptuous and dismissive of the team and the players and the sacrifices
they made.
He's the reason a lot of people didn't like football.
Yeah.
I mean, he was the counter of anything that you found endearing in football at all.
Yeah.
Everyone's so glad he's gone.
Yeah.
And if you watch the command, excuse me, the command, I can't say that word.
I had to cough it out.
If you watch the commander's game, they're having so much fun.
I know.
Even on the sideline, everyone is up and smiling and energetic and happy.
And it's like the long dark night is over.
That's what they could ride this buzz all the way.
Yeah.
They could ride it all the way.
And then whoever they face at the Super Bowl, that Super Bowl is completely different than
anything else as we found out.
Yeah.
Wouldn't it be awesome to have the chiefs and the commanders in the Super Bowl?
That would be excellent.
Yeah.
They can't say anything about us because we're named after William S. Bartle.
H. Roe Bartle.
Yeah.
His nickname was the Chief.
The Chief.
Okay.
The Bengals won.
Yeah.
So they're on the board.
Yeah.
The Ravens are this week.
I predicted a little bit of a renaissance.
I think the Ravens are going to be really high.
So anyhow, listen to the Bengals' schedule other than the Ravens.
Oh, okay.
Damn it.
Let's see.
Where did I put it?
Okay.
The Browns.
They should win that one.
The Raiders.
That'll be tough.
Giants.
They could win that one.
Eagles.
Definitely could win that one.
Cowboys.
That'll be up in the air like the Raiders won.
Chargers.
Yeah.
I mean, they could win all six of us.
So that puts them at seven wins and then the other ones are a coin toss.
So I could see them get to 10 wins and get in the playoffs.
Yeah, man.
That would be-
They could then be lost maybe 11 or 12.
Yeah, they could make that run right now.
That would erase the stink of the first part of the season.
It would.
Well, that's how come I'm thinking don't count them out.
Don't count them out.
Even if they lose this coming weekend, don't count them out.
Their schedule is not that horrible.
But if they lose those six games, if they lose two of them badly, people are going to
give up on them.
Well, if that happens, then forget it.
Out of this, I'm going to crumple up and throw away.
It's weird.
The perception of how you're doing can really affect how you're doing.
Yeah.
And then the team starts to doubt themselves like, oh my God, we had that game and we just
pissed it away.
It's kind of like a salesman.
Yeah.
If you believe in what you're selling, you're going to be really good at it.
Yeah.
This couch right here is guaranteed for 10 years.
It's got this new kind of coating on it and it's spill proof, it's child proof and it's
pet proof.
It's been proven.
If you're selling shit, you're kind of like, yeah, this is pretty good couch.
Yeah.
It's not a bad price.
Yeah.
It's better than some at this price range.
Yeah.
Bingo.
Really?
Yeah.
Or trying to sell a Pinto.
Oh God.
People don't even want those as collector cars.
Oh no, they'll blow up on you.
They're too much of a fire hazard.
Look it up.
Not Bean, don't put Bean after it.
Just put Pinto Ford.
Yeah.
Oh, there were ugly little son of a bitches too.
Oh my gosh.
I drove one.
I owned one.
Oh, I didn't own it.
It was a postal vehicle.
All I could afford at the time.
Yeah.
There was a while the post office was leasing just regular passenger cars and having us drive
some of those.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, I drove, let's see, a couple of years ago, I drove a couple of cars.
I drove a couple of cars.
Oh, yeah, that's when Dodge was going to come back on the K car.
Yeah.
I drove a Chevy Chevette, a Dodge Omni, those little teeny tiny hatchbacks not that much
bigger than a smart car.
I had a Ford Pinto.
Pinto. These cars were just crap. Oh yeah. It was so awful. I had an AMC Pacer. Yeah. Which was a
Gremlin with a bubble top. Yes. That thing was horrible. Uh, Lea Iacocca was behind the Intrepid.
The K car was before that. It's the, this is a family car. Nice square box car. Yeah. Gives you
A to B. Remember the Chevy Celebrity? Yes. It was just like. That was their K car. Yeah. It was like
a cigarette carton with a smaller cigarette carton on top of it. That's how boxy it was. And remember
the ad. It only takes 12 horsepower to cruise at 55 miles per hour. Oh yeah. And I thought 12
horsepower is about all it makes too. Yeah. Well, I was going to say just a little bit about Dodge
there. Yeah. Every time they had to come out with a gimmick to save their ass. Yeah. The K car,
then the Intrepid, and then, uh, then it was their trucks. The Hemi. It still is their trucks. The Hemi.
Yeah. They had the little kids saying Hemi over and over. Yeah. Hemi. Hemi. Hemi. It's like you really want a
wimpy little kid voice going. Hemi. I mean, I kind of want to kick that little bastard, don't you?
I mean, why not have some big tough guy going. Hemi. Yeah. Wouldn't that sell more trucks? Yeah.
And with a baseball bat in his hand. Yeah. Oh, wow. Here's a blast from the past. Remember the Amazon
fire phone? Oh yeah. Oh boy. That went up in flames. Didn't it? No pun intended. And,
yeah. Do you remember the advertisements for it? It was a, it was like a five-year-old boy and a
five-year-old girl, and they dressed them as if they were adults and had them talking as if they
were adults. And, you know. They got a lot of shit over it too. Yeah. The two little kids were the
ones with the phone and they were talking about the features of the phone and how they were, you
know, out-classing the adults and stuff. But overwhelmingly, the majority of people thought
that the Amazon fire phone was a phone for kids. No, you're right. Because that's all they ever
saw in the commercials, little kids holding the phone. People gave them a lot. I can't remember
what it was, but they got a lot of flack for that commercial. Can you remember what it was for?
Besides, you know, being viewed as a child's phone, there was something else about that commercial
that people didn't like, that they made a big deal out of it. I can't remember what it was. It was
the girl, the little girl. They were having her act like a grown-up woman. Oh, it was
sexual innuendo. Yeah, sexual innuendo. That was it. Yeah. Because the whole idea was,
we see them as little kids, but everybody else sees them as adults. And then it got a little creepy.
Yes. Some line in the commercial was just really wrong. Yeah, like, call me later or something.
That's a five-year-old girl. You should not be saying that with a five-year-old girl around.
Okay, that's what it was. Yeah. All right. I couldn't remember. I remember there was some
big hubbub about it. Yeah. It was like up in arms, whatever that means. I remember the packages
from Amazon. They would advertise the Fire Phone all over the packages because that's how desperate
they were to sell it. Oh, I remember that. Yeah. So when I would deliver an Amazon package,
people started thinking. They'd look at it and say, I didn't order a Fire Phone.
And I know that's just the ads on the outside. And I remember one woman picking it up and saying,
what? Who sent my kids an Amazon Fire Phone?
So not only was the advertising on TV not working, the advertising on the box wasn't working.
That goes as well as the all-time advertising blunders, I guess.
No kidding. There must have been a giant warehouse full of those phones that they finally had to just
crush and destroy and recycle because nobody wanted them.
Funny. Swing and a miss, Amazon. Swing and a miss. What do you want to go into? You got a thing or?
Let's see. I had some interesting things written down on my phone.
Because I have a Super Bowl Flub Up. I think maybe go into something else.
We could do these on the next one. All right.
Well, let's see. Like we talked on the way home, on the way here, Costco got ahead of the baby oil
thing really fast. Brilliant.
Yes. But I kept learning now that Diddy had like a thousand bottles of baby oil in his house.
One of the members of his entourage said, well, I'm going to go into the baby oil thing.
I'm going to go into the baby oil thing. I'm going to go into the baby oil thing.
And I thought, well, that's so perfect. They got a ton of great advertising.
It's just that one. I bet they're stock soared after that.
No kidding. And I mean, everybody is piling on Diddy now, which they should.
They should. Because the guy is a creep and a
pedophile and a predator, allegedly. Oh, yeah.
I got one for you. Yeah.
Remember everybody that couldn't wait to have their picture with him?
Yes. Now they're running so far away.
They're, oh, I didn't know him that well. That's good. But there's 150 pictures with you with him.
Taylor Swift is got her team out there scaring the internet and deleting pictures of her with Diddy.
I believe it. And I keep seeing some people keep
posting and saying, yeah, Taylor Swift is trying to delete all these pictures.
So keep passing them around. I love that.
Not everybody who knew him or had their picture with him is a bad person.
I don't think Taylor Swift knew anything about it.
I don't think she knew anything about it at all.
But I don't blame her for deleting those pictures.
Yeah. Because it's just like if you ever
seen with Epstein, you might have just ran into him at some dinner or something.
Yeah. But there's a picture with him.
There's a certain stigma that will be involved with that and be like, well, he was he talked to him.
Yeah. So yeah, I think there's a lot of innocent people,
but I also think there's a lot of people that did know what he was doing and didn't care.
Yeah. I can't wait for certain people to get taken down big time.
Allegedly. Allegedly.
This is all parody. Yeah.
We're not claiming anything's true.
But what I'm seeing. Except the Raiders suck.
Yeah. Yeah. What I'm seeing on my Facebook feed is there are a lot of people waiting
for Oprah to be exposed and taken down next. No, no, no. I did see that.
And supposedly there's like a connection somewhere in another country between them.
I'm seeing tons of pictures of Oprah with Diddy, Bill Cosby, Weinstein, Epstein.
And there's Oprah smiling, grinning, hands all over them, hugging them.
She's not clean. No, no, no, no, no, no.
And at the very least opportunist.
And remember when there was that effort, kind of half-hearted effort to draft Oprah
to be the Democratic nominee? Yes.
That would have fit in perfectly to get the pedophile ring into the White House
if they're not there already. I just.
Just the hero worship in this country is sickening.
Sickening. Nothing surprises me.
Nothing. I hope this whole
Hollywood pedophilia thing really wakes people up that this celebrity worship is ugly.
It's wrong. It's unhealthy.
Oh, yeah. It's a bad choice.
Probably the reason Ben Affleck filed for a divorce as soon as he took.
J.Lo was heavily involved.
Yeah. He saw some images the FBI gave him, allegedly.
But I mean, this, I don't know, looks like it might have some legs.
Yeah, it really does. And of course, there's also the counter that,
you know, this is to distract us from Epstein's client list.
You know, this is the sacrificial lamb they're throwing us to see if this will shut us up.
Well, I'll put it like this. For a long time now, at least 25 years,
I've heard of this alleged pedophilia.
Me too. Yeah.
And I, oh, conspiracist. Oh, no, they'd never do that. They're good people.
But this explains all the child actors that flamed out.
Yeah, they went insane afterwards. It took their own life.
It explains all the actors that are in and popular for a few years.
And then they just bolt and say, I'm done with Hollywood.
I'm done. And you're like, why? Why? Why?
Well, a lot of learning now.
They've been passed around, you know.
And think of that decades of weeding out the ones that won't go along
and keeping the ones that will go along. Pretty soon, it's everybody.
Yeah. It's everybody.
I think we need to hook the enema tube up to Hollywood
and just start pumping that thing as hard as we can.
They need to drain the Hollywood swamp. Yes.
Yeah. I think there's so many folds to this thing that by the time we get done with it,
it's just going to be not surprising, but kind of almost unbelievable.
I would be curious to see if the rest of the world is even interested in this,
how they're covering it. Are they covering it as, yeah, about time you guys wised up.
Well, I kind of look out like this. You're talking about the rest of the world.
They're looking over here and going, you guys are being the moral judge of everyone else.
You're looking at us having four wives and you're over there playing with kids.
Instead of- And then you protect them?
Yeah. Oh, go ahead. I'm sorry.
And plus, think of all the governments that the US has toppled.
Yeah. Guatemala, Chile, Iran,
just goes on and on. And those countries are just in shambles, most of them now.
The US went in and found a working country, crushed their leader,
and put in a figurehead that was friendly to the US.
And then when that blew up, the country just can't recover.
The reason Iran, one of the reasons Iran hates us is because the shah that we put in to control
oil prices back in the 70s. They got him out, but we harbored him when he was dying of cancer
and they wanted him. Yeah.
The US wouldn't give him back. And then he eventually died before it came down.
And they were furious over that because they wanted revenge.
That's part of it. Iraq, Hussein was part of getting in there.
And also when he went rogue, they got him out of there.
They're allegedly all this, but you know what? I mean, all of this just proves the point of
all the facade, all the talk, all this look over there and how far it's gone.
Yeah. You know, it's been working to distract us all with, you know, oh, look, new TV technology.
We all forget about what's going on. We'll all start clamoring over the news.
We'll start clamoring over the new TV, you know, high death crap.
It's like, oh, we got to have that. I don't give a damn about the price of food.
You can talk to a dead uncle hologram. Yeah.
Yeah. All this stuff that people are like, yeah, they unleash something like that.
They're like, they have something to go hold it back until we need a distraction.
What do they call it? Wag the dog or something?
Yeah. The tail wagging the dog. Yeah. Like, oh, look over there.
And you look at, I'm not going to name names, but look at political figures who make no sense
whatsoever, but still have rabid, enormous followings. There's a lot of them.
Yeah. And that tells the business community in the United States, look, there's tons of people
out there who will buy whatever we tell them. We just need to tell them the right way and they'll
believe whatever we say. And we got their money. Yeah. Yep. And that will distract us from the fact
that the roads are shit and government is stealing our social security away from us. And we're being
taxed to death. It's like, no, just keep distracting them with high def TVs and, oh, now let's legalize
sports gambling. And we're spending so much. Now let's legalize marijuana. They're making our dollar
worthless because they're spending so much. Yeah. They're not telling us that the rest of the world
is making a concentrated effort to eliminate the U S currency as an internationally traded commodity.
And our economy will just collapse at that point. Yeah. It'll be done. Yep. Cause we depend on all
that. Yeah, we do. So you know, all the money laundering goes on with, you know, the supposed
foreign aid. Well, foreign aid, that's all it was. You're the one that posted that foreign aid is
just like money laundering. No, I saw that, but I did too. And I agree with it. A hundred percent.
Yeah. Anytime you see some sort of a concerted effort to help something, it's money laundering.
Or, you know, send someone into a country and say, we want control of your, all of your copper and
zinc mines and your lithium production and your natural gas, but we need to keep it off the books.
So we'll pay it for, we'll pay you for it, but we're going to call it foreign aid that you never
have to pay back. So that's, that's how business deals are done. You can't go to a country and say,
Hey, we're buying all this crap from them. They wouldn't put up with it. And the U S citizens
would probably wonder why you're doing it, but you call it foreign aid. And then you just don't tell
people, Oh, now we have control of all these mineral rights and oil rights, et cetera. It's
the government's deciding that we don't need to know a lot of this stuff, which is really awful.
That is, and also you're wondering about everything collapsing. The elite don't care.
No, they'll move to the country that's doing well. Yeah. All these, you know, super rich people,
they have the kind of wealth that travels to other countries with them. You and I have the kind of
wealth that depends on the U S economy strictly and only, you know, I can't go to Canada and draw
an employment or a pension. You know, it has to come from this country. So we're the ones with
stuff to lose. Yeah. All those useless billionaires are the ones that when it gets crappy here,
they're just going to float off to the next country and start all over again. We use this country up
to nothing. Yeah. And you know, maybe that's why the universe is so empty and we don't see,
you know, signs of other intelligent life. Maybe every intelligent life gets to the point where
everyone's just so money crazed that we destroy ourselves and each other up for money. Yeah. I
mean, um, anything like that look for another war. Yeah. Only a little bit more serious this time.
Yeah. And if, if Iran gets into the conflict between Israel and Palestine,
yeah, that's man, it's, it's difficult to say Russia, Russia. Yeah. But that's Israel,
U S of course, not always. Uh, yeah. But it really seems like that's the next distraction.
They've got it loaded in the barrel, waiting to fire. And also something happens that they need
this to stop thinking about the war's going to break out the money deal. We have all the weapons
and you're saying we don't, our money's not worth anything. You want us to defend you. Yeah.
Yeah. Another point at which a war could break out would be in the election cycle, if one side
or the other was like, say the, well, the Democrats are in power now. So if, if the election's not
going the way they wanted, they could say, okay, let's go ahead and start this war and then vote
me in because I know how to handle it. And Trump doesn't. That's been, uh, that's been done, um,
several times before. Um, but I don't know if it has that, I think it's kind of been glamorized.
I don't know if it has that much success. I really don't know. I mean, FDR kind of used that because
he got elected before world war II broke out. But then once the war broke out, he was like,
Hey, I'm already in, I'm already running things. Just keep electing me. Ever since then it seems
like the, uh, the guy that went into the war usually was not the incumbent or it was on the
second side of his term. Yeah. You know, like Clinton did do nothing, nothing, nothing. And then
the last couple of years, yeah, Kosovo, Serbia and Bosnia. Yeah. It's because he was trying to
distract us from, you know, raping his interns. Yeah. Allegedly. Um, Bush. Yeah. When he, uh,
was it, no, nine 11 happened before. Yeah. Yeah. And then he got reelected on that. Okay. So that
worked there. And that was one of those things that, you know, oh, here's this opportunity. Let's go
with it. Now we've churned up this big cloud to dust. Now let's start doing our sketchy shit behind
the scenes and no one pay attention. And that was a great dangling Chad. Yeah. Or hanging Chad.
Hanging Chad. Yeah. So evidently those little pop out pieces are Chad's when you vote.
So the Clinton thing was he was trying to distract us from something that was happening.
Yeah. With Bush and nine 11 and the war on terror, et cetera, it was here's an opportunity. Let's go
ahead and do it. Now we'll figure out what kind of stuff we want to get away with while everybody's
looking over here. Um, they passed the, um, the Patriot act. Yeah. And that's the domain,
eminent domain. Yeah. You have no say over your property at all anymore, anywhere, because it's
a federal law. If they come up and go, we're going to pay you residential for this. And then they
change it to commercial use, lost out on thousands and thousands of dollars. Yep. So they can do that.
Uh, uh, so legally the way it reads, if I'm correct on this, and I think I am because I've
seen enough discussion and you know, read enough. Okay. A developer goes to whoever, uh, people in
charge goes, Hey, I need this block of houses and here's why. And this is a tax money. And this is
what we're going to generate. Yeah. I need you to rezone this after you kick everybody out.
Okay. Deal. And the domain, everybody has to go by law. They pay you residential. Then it gets
changed. Not to mention that could be the house you grew up in and you want to stay in. Yeah.
Yeah. Not to mention having to find another home in today's market value is fucked. Yeah. So there
was a, uh, a real life situation like that. It was, uh, it was fictionalized for a TV show as well.
The, you know, how a lot of these cop shows will use real life events and modify them. But there's
a situation where a real estate developer who had connections with city government was also friends
with a major biker gang and he would get the biker gang to move into a certain neighborhood
and then just crap the whole neighborhood up. And then he would get them to commit a series of murders,
usually, you know, horrible senseless murders of families and children, et cetera.
And then the developer who's hidden his connection with the biker gang would go to the city and demand
that the city declare that neighborhood condemned, which is the only way they can kick everybody out.
And then he buys it as condemned property, redevelops it with high price condos and starts
all over again. It condemns like a salvage title. Yeah. It's like you're never going to get any value
out of it. So, yeah. So that's what he was doing. He was creating the neighborhood that would get
condemned and then buying the condemned neighborhood for next to nothing, developing it and selling it
for millions, billions, whatever. And it was just, he was doing it over and over and over and over.
It was just, he was doing it over and over. So that is something that has happened in the US at
least once because it was used as a plot idea for a TV show. So that was an individual working with
the city government. The city government was just as corrupt as him. So after that guy was caught
and sent away, the city government was like, hey, we can keep doing this and now we keep the money
ourselves. Let's just condemn these neighborhoods and then we'll sell them off and get kickbacks.
Perfect route. I believe it's happening. I believe it's happening all over the place.
Anytime something really doesn't quite make sense, it's because you're not being told everything.
You don't see who's walking away with the piles of cash. Oh, I got a question for you real quick
that has nothing to do with nothing. Is the jam session on this Wednesday or is that when they
did they stop it already? They're still doing the open jams. It's just they're not serving
Thai food upstairs anymore. Are they serving anything or is it just chicken? They're serving
RC's food upstairs until they close. At eight or nine or eight I think. Yeah. Okay. But I think
the idea was during the holiday season, they're going to be renting out that upstairs place a lot.
So they need the Thai restaurant to get out of the way. Okay. And then after the holiday season,
the Thai will come back. Okay. The upstairs. And then they have the ability to cook the chicken
and everything up there. They probably take pre-orders or just have like a buffet. Yeah.
Here's your chicken fried steak. Here's your chicken. Here's your ham, all that. Yeah. Or a
special menu even. Who knows? Yeah. Okay. So I think for people wanting to go out and eat
for the jam, you better order by eight. You're just not getting Thai food. Yeah.
You're not getting rock and walk. You're getting RC's. Yeah. Okay. Don't try to sneak anything in.
But they do have nice balconies just outside that you can step out and have a smoke. I did
notice that. Yeah. Yeah. That's where all the smokers go to, you know, step out and smoke out
there. Yeah. And then come back in. Of course, they don't bother to check what you're smoking
out there. Just saying. Oh, no. I don't give a shit. It's legal unless you go a mile to the west.
Yeah. Yeah. Then it's not. Yeah. It's funny how many of the musicians disappear. Yeah.
And then you see them coming in. It's like, oh yeah, there's a balcony there. Yeah. Yeah. So
anyhow, I want to see that guy that did the Wayland Jennings, wanted to do the Wayland
Jennings, but did Skinner that sounded like Molly Hatchet. Yeah. Road rage. Yeah. Yeah. Road rage.
Yeah. Yeah. I saw him in the crapper. I was taking piss. He comes in. He's taking piss next to me.
There's a partition. So it's cool. Yeah. Yeah. There's no gazing going on. So unless you're into
that, nothing wrong with that, that's fine. So, okay. Unless the guy doesn't want you looking at
his pee pee. Yeah. Okay. Then it might be. Okay. Anyhow. And don't misgender him as a guy, you know,
just because he's in the guy's bathroom. It doesn't mean anything. Yep. And we're not here to judge.
Okay. So, so, so if he's sitting on a urinal, there you know. Yeah. All right. There you go.
Anyhow, all this is joking. Don't make him mad. Okay. So yeah, the, the road rage guy said that
the jam they do Sundays in the summit, the rusty spur, rusty spur. Yeah. They, they modify the start
time to accommodate the chief's game every week. Oh, that's brilliant. Isn't that brilliant? Yeah.
Cause I was at knuckleheads yesterday or Sunday for the jam. Close enough. The, you know, the
chief's game was starting at three 20 and about quarter to three, people started filing out.
And by about three 30, it was a whole different crowd in there. Nobody there. It was people. Well,
new people kept coming in. It's just people who don't care about football that much. Oh, that's
true. But all the people wanted to see the football, they all left and different people
took their places. Just like if you want to do shopping, do it during the chief's game. Oh,
yeah. Nobody's there. Yeah. Yeah. Grocery shopping is good too. TGNY is cleared out.
Ben Franklin. What about Woolworth? Woolworth is cleared out too. Even Woolco, the bigger ones.
I always stop by Sears. Oh yeah. Always get the cotton candy while I'm at Woolco. Yeah.
If it's Woolco, wouldn't it be wool candy? It was, it was. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Animal based. Yeah.
And while we're there, oh no, no, there are still Safeways, just not here. Oh yeah.
AMP. No, there are AMP's. There are. I saw that the other day. I think they're up in the Chicago area.
I was out of town somewhere and saw a whole fleet of Kroger. Yeah, they're everywhere. As a matter
of fact, Kroger's in disguise. They're not around here. But did you know that Dillings that was here
for a long time are Kroger? Oh, okay. And there's Gerbs. Gerbs. Yeah, there's one in Columbia. My
boys go to that one. Yeah. And there's one in Camden. It's all over in there. They're all Kroger.
That's where I saw it. It was in Columbia. I saw all the Kroger vans. Yeah. All of the Kroger brands
in there. Everything is Kroger. But as my understanding, I lost like a lawsuit or something. I don't know
if it's true or not, but it's like some sort of a union deal and they're not able to go under the
name Kroger in Missouri. Sounds like they're penalized. Yeah, something like that. Yeah.
So they're able to do business under that name. And then they have another one. They have one in
Colorado too called like Food Shuttle or Food Festival or something. I forgot. But I went in
there and I'm like, man, I wonder if this is like its own one-off or whatever. No, it's a chain,
but it's all Kroger stuff. Yeah. So interesting. So evidently they have all different kinds of
different offshoots. Yeah. Yeah. And I don't know if Safeway does with vans, but none of them are
around here. They're on the West Coast, I believe, and on the East Coast too. I found some in
Baltimore. Oh, cool. Yeah. I was there working and I go, Safeway. So I go in there and I start looking
around and still Lucerne Milk, which is Safeway, Lucerne Eggs, Safeway brand soda pop. Wow.
All that stuff. I'm like, wow. Here's a blast from past Janie from Milgram. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Milgram was a local one. I think so. Yeah. Yeah. They had like four or five locations. Yeah.
And I forgot there was some sort of a deal with Janie. I cannot remember. It wasn't bad. Yeah.
It's like how they discovered her. And they're like, yeah, she's perfect for what we want.
She was a singer. That was it. I think she was in like a nightclub singer. Yeah. And there was a
point where she, I think she got cancer and lost her voice and then came back and was able to still
do the commercials, but I don't think she can sing anymore. Yeah. She'd always go, hi folks,
this is Janie from Milgram. And then everyone knew to, hey, shut up. I got to hear if the tomatoes
are on sale. Yeah. It was amazing. Everybody loved Janie from Milgram. It was the perfect ad.
Yeah. And there was nothing to it. Yeah. Got a nightclub singer and she comes up and tells you
what's on sale at Milgram's. Yeah. She was what they called attractive in a non-threatening way.
Yes. So guys wouldn't be intimidated by her beauty and women wouldn't feel like they had to compete
with her beauty. She didn't have anything pushed up. She didn't have anything revealing. She was
really kind of just a kind of a average kind of short haircut, kind of a almost boring looking.
Yeah. Short haircut. I remember that dark hair, but yeah, she was, she was really pretty. She
really had a beautiful voice. Yeah. And the more you saw her in the commercial, the more it felt
like, well, I bet she'd be a fun person to hang out with. She just seemed like just the nicest person
ever. And it's funny. Of course, so does Tom Hanks, but yeah. He's got dual citizenship,
by the way. He's one of those guys that, that can go hide out in Greece and never come home to face
the music. Yeah. Cause they don't extradite. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But nothing to see here.
Yeah. Allegedly we know that's not going on. So, let's see. What else? Oh, oh, I was going to go
into this. This is back to Milgram's the Safeway, the Safeway on St. John in, in Northeast Kansas
city, where I grew up a part of my life as a wee youngster. That store was so big growing up. Now
it's a Jehovah witness hall. Oh yeah. That's a little bitty place. Now you see our huge stores.
Yeah. I couldn't believe it. I'm like that. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's surprising you get used to the
size of something and then something bigger comes. It's like, man, that was nothing. Yeah. We thought
this was great. Now we got this and next year, Oh, well, I thought that was great. But look at this.
I remember when TGY got a little bit bigger, I was excited. Wow. There's more room for big chief
tablets. Look it up. Yep. Man, that was some of the roughest nastiest paper, but it was part of
your childhood. Yeah. Yep. They had the, uh, native American warrior on the front of this called big
chief. And I probably don't have them anymore just because of the name. Yeah. Yeah. I imagine
that they was referring to his genitals. I heard. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Big chief. You want to write on
big chief. Yeah. I had an idea for, uh, fixing court delays. Uh-huh. Cause I was hearing about
something the other day when someone was trying to get some justice done and the other side,
I got some justice done. Let's see if we can get a little justice done. Hey guys, see if we're going
to afford some justice. Yeah. The other side has so much money that they're like, you know, we'll
keep this case tied up in court for 10 years. Yeah. That sucks because that's what they do. They drain
you. They exhaust somebody so bad. They just like, fuck it. I'm never going to win. Yeah. Go ahead.
So here's my idea. So you have two sides in a court case, whatever side is causing the delays,
they can have their delays, but in the meantime, we just presume that they lost and the other person
won. I'll have to act on that. So like if it's a lawsuit, it's like, I'm suing, you know, this
company for a million dollars and they're decided, they're just going to delay and delay and delay.
They can do that. But in the meantime, they have to give me the million dollars.
And then when the delays are finally over and we settle up, then they can get their million dollars
back. I've got an example, but if they want to delay, they've got to pay up now. I cannot say
the names for a lot of different reasons, but I know of a situation where a big trucking outfit,
the guy went through the center line and hit the car, oncoming car, I think is I-29. Yeah. Head first,
killed the lady, the man, they were older. They're older, probably 70s. He is dying from cancer,
but he is a couple of years off. So the trucking company? Yeah, yes. That's really all I can get
into it, but that's when I noticed, I mean, I already knew they were evil, but I'm like,
how fucking evil, because that money that they would win is not transferable. No, no, they're
just waiting for the guy to die and then the case goes away. It's done. Yeah. And she's already dead
because of them. There's a lot of other particulars I can't get into, but the driver may have not been
really fit to be driving on a lot of different reasons. Well, that's true, yeah. Anyhow, it
should be a cut and dry case. Should be like, all right, this happened, you pay her this much,
and right now, or not her, him, you pay him this much, not later, now, because this guy has a
timeline and he wants to give it to his children. So you guys fucking do this. Yeah. Yeah. It's
bullshit. It seems to make sense if the person, the side causing the delay is trying to avoid
having to go to trial and losing. So, okay, let's just make you lose right at the beginning. You can
go to trial and you don't have to pay up front, or if you want it delayed, then pay up front. But your system would be like,
okay, you're going to pay. Yeah. Oh, the guy died. Well, I guess he gets to keep the money there. We
can't go and prove any different because last we knew you were guilty. Or like the guy is accused
of arson. Yeah. And his lawyer is getting delay after delay. It's been like three years and you
still haven't gone to court. That's fine. Put the guy in jail as if he'd already been convicted of
arson, just in case. Yeah, just in case. Can't let him out. You don't want to let him out.
Yeah, if the side doesn't like that, then quit delaying. Yeah, it's like, all right, then go to trial and prove that you're right.
Yeah. Because if you're not willing to go to court, then you're going to have to act as if you're going to have to act as if you've already lost.
I agree. Of course, then we're counting on lawyers to pass laws against lawyers. No, they're not going to do that. Yeah.
Did you really sit down and listen to all that garbage that was being, do you actually believe one inch of it? I didn't think so. Hang on, game over.
