Fade This Episode 29

Welcome everybody. It is the Thanksgiving week edition of Fade this. You know we missed last week, which is what's your best podcast? Too? They just kind of decide, like this week not god only thing it's gonna happen, but if it's Thanksgiving, that means football, so we gotta be here. Matt Jones, Drew Franklin's with me. Billy is producing. As

Is Indiana back? Indiana's not back. They'll never be back. And then just looking at this, I was thinking Atlantis with nothing but Louisville and Indiana fans is not paradise.

By the way, that guy on Louisville looks like Pete Davidson. He does what happened to Pete Davidson? Is he still on Saturday Night Live? Or I think he checked back into rehab recently every few weeks in the last year, so he was touring then just hanging out.

Yeah, it's a pretty good show. Not a lot of jokes, lots of stories.

Okay, well, wish him the best. Yeah, it looks like he's found a second home playing basketball.

That guy in Louisville looks like if you were playing a video game and creating a player and just used all the random accessories and hair colors you could, you could put on someone.

Yeah. Well, it looks like Louisville is back to being at least decent in basketball, So that should make things fun. Tennessee crushed them, so I thought they might be terrible, but they are up thirty and that's a lot of points. Thanksgivings tomorrow? Are you? Are you excited for? For Thanksgiving? You get to have your turkey and your stuffing.

Well, I have thanks Giving anxiety because I'm providing the turkey and I've done nothing to get ready for that.

You bought it, Well, at least have a turkey.

It will be thawed, so I guess I have done that part. But you know, you get these frozen turkeys and you got to set them out so many days and then you gotta brine them and what a guy get that gizzard out of there. So all of that right now is weighing heavily on me.

So I don't. So you buy a turkey, the first thing you have to do is like pull out something.

The Yeah, they usually bag it up for you in there. You just stick your hand and get it out of there. Why don't they take it out before? Some people like to use it make a little gravy. So that's what they use, the gizzard for the neck.

You're really getting out of there? Answer what is what is a gizzard?

I'm not really sure myself.

Like Mitch McConnell's jowl, is that what it is?

Yeah, it's just actually it's exactly like that. It's just kind of hanging there that that's what it is. I really don't know. The guy cooking the turkey knows very little about cooking turkeys.

Thank god we have YouTube.

A muscular, thick walled part of a bird's stomach.

For correct The whole comes out too half. What do you mean your grandma eats?

That's a tradition is she likes the neck part of the turkey.

Let the band eat neck. So at the at the Rutledge House, everybody just gets around the circle and Granny eats the neck.

We make two turkeys, one in the oven because the gravy. Yeah, and then we deep fry a second party.

That's good. So I want to go back to your granny eating the neck. Yeah, so we're not you're not supposed to eat the neck.

I don't know the customs, but it's like step away from the neck because that's Memur's neck.

So she calls dibbs. Yeah, her name is Memur.

Mimi is what we call her.

Yeah, so Mimi just goes, get out of my way. Kids, it's granny's neck.

Not only that, but they pick the skin off and they'll eat that individually.

Whose they the entire family extends. Good.

You gotta get a good skin, good and crisp if you did your turkey right.

But you're saying the average person doesn't eat neck.

I don't think the neck.

Average humans don't have gizzards, right. I'm not sure. I'm very because I will tell you I've been to anatomy class. I don't remember seeing the word gizzard is like something I only here associated with the turkey. You don't hear about the turtles.

Gizzard birds, crocodiles.

Crocodiles have it. Okay, does mem A like me? Like? So you just put your grandmother like in the corner of the room. She's just over there, chomping on the neck of the gizzard and her neck.

She's fine for the rest of the evening though.

Okay, well that's that sounds like a beautiful home, does I'll bring it to you and you can take it to her.

She probably love that, all right.

So you're gonna cook? What? What? What accessories? Like?

So you're giving me so much anxiety right now. These are all things I have to figure out. You don't know what what side they're They're in laws.

You know my house. I bet the grocery store is a little crowded right now. Yeah, thank you. I'm about to start shaking. I have so much anxiety about it. I have had in laws at my house, so you have none of the I have people who.

Have been in my house for over twenty four hours. I still haven't seen them. That's none of the like. You don't have any of the food, so you don't have like I'm hoping there will be some contributions buzz right now in my home. There are people. There's a dog, relatives in. Some have been here since Monday and I haven't seen him.

Your house is that big? Is it? Where they all stayed in my house. So you have a like you're able to host.

I mean, I don't have a mansion, but I do have a spot.

You know I don't. I don't think you. I don't think I've been to your house.

Can come over any time except for Thanksgiving, unless you want to bring a dish, then you're more than your house.

I don't think i've ever.

I've offered to make a breakfast for the crew, and even too well, you mentioned biscuits and gravy. I'm pretty good at that.

So okay. I have a friend whose name is Brian. You know Brian. I have known Brian since I was seventeen years old, so we're talking at we're moving towards thirty years. I've never stepped foot in a place where he sleeps ever ever, which is an amazing thing for someone you've known that long. I mean, I've been in a house of yours. I've never stepped foot. I'll go further. Never met a family member of his ever. Never met his parents. I think he has a.

Brother, never met them, man, mystery.

He's had multiple girlfriends, never met one of them. And the thing is he's a pretty good friend of mine, Like, if I were to have, you know, a friend's giving, he would certainly get an invite. He's been. He comes to the SEC tournament a lot.

Is this Brian in the room with us right now? Because it sounded like your imaginary friend if you've never seen any of his friend's girlfriends at home.

But think about it, like he say, he's a mystery. No, I'm kidding.

I know who Brian is, but he is mysterious.

That's mysterious. Can you imagine he moved away? Not sure the town he moved to know the general vicinity, but I couldn't tell you exactly what the town is. I had another friend call and ask him, Hey, I'm gonna be in your in your area. Can I can I come see you? He was like no. I just told him no. He was like, no, I got something. Any guy was like, I could go. I could see you coming or going. He was like, I'm busy both times. It's just like a catch me if you can situation?

Ask him about his Halloween parties that he doesn't.

It's Halloween parties. He doesn't invite us too. He only invites wrestlers and rockers, Like that's the only people you know, the wrestlers involved in company I own, the wrestling company that he works for, doesn't doesn't invite us. I see Shannon Moore on the one week road trip than I do the entire year, and it's not even close.

And I'm like, how you been? How is February?

And his reaction is always the same, which is, I don't think you would like it. I'm like, well, why don't you give me? Maybe I would, you know? And even if I don't, I mean I don't. So it's interesting, like you just don't know. It's just a lot of people you just don't. You just don't know.

I'll have a KSR dinner at some point, Mario cook.

I'm not making a turkey, but I'll come up with a little something I can't wait for. See on the back porch, drink some bourbon.

Matt's gonna cook us a meal in a year.

I'm gonna cook you at me. I'm starting that when we get back from our road trip. I have and now I have two I cook books. I bought, one of which is for basic beginners, and one of which is on the science of cooking, so I can really nerd out the basics head. This is the stuff you need, like equipment wise, I have like ninety percent of it. My mom she bought me that one year. It's stayed in the box for a long time. Then I got it out. Now that's ready to go. I wouldn't needed

Yeah, don't get discouraged if you mess up. I mean to burn something or mess it up.

It's just I just don't like knowing the basics. You know. You know this about me. I like to have everything of something, So if I'm gonna cook, I need everything you cook with. Like today, the New York Times put out the hundred Best books of twenty twenty four. There's a part of me that just wants to go buy all Now, I'm not gonna do that. First of I'm gonna say, my mom doesn't listen to this podcast. My mom will buy me the top when they announced the top ten in a couple weeks, my mom will just

The thing about cooking is once you get the basic concepts in, you're rolling. Once you just understand that you gotta get a little heat around something and get the middle cook through and if anything else fails, just throw butter in there too, that'll fix it. But once you just learn the basics, then then you can take off.

When's the last time you read a book that I read a book besides Bill Warren or whatever, Rick warrens.

I read a golf book recently called I'm trying to remember. It's obviously it's like Bob Rotella's golf is not a game of perfect Who is Bob Rotel.

That's Cow's Boy.

He's one of the best inspirational You read an inspirational golf, Well, it's more like psychology, like your mindset, and you read a golf psychology.

You need a psychologist for your golf game.

Oh yeah, yeah, because I practice more and I get worse. So I got to fix that. Well, you know, I can teach you a thing.

I don't think that made the top one hundred list. Maybe golf psychology book, but I'm glad you found one you like. I know you read sometimes, Drew Right.

I'm actually in a weird spot where I'm like forty pages into five books and I just need to commit to one. But the one I just took with me to Texas is about basketball. Mark Pope has even inspired me to read it. It's called Spaced Out. I think I mentioned it before I started it a long time ago, and I'm revisiting it. But it talks about like just spacing in basketball, how we used to just use the paint. That's about it. Now there's so much area involved.

I tried to read like one book a week. It doesn't always happen, but a try. I made a mistake on my book this week. I would always see this book in the bookstore. It was called like My Year of Wonderful Living or something, and it was about a woman in New York and it was like a young woman in New York. And I thought it was like a book about like she like parties for a year, and I was like, oh, this will be a lighthearted,

When people say this book's so good, I couldn't put it down. That sounds like one I'd be like, Okay, I'm just gonna put this down for a minute. I'm step away from that.

I can always put it down. I can always fall asleep. I am. I am doing my better call, Saul. Watch. You know, I'd never seen it such a great show. I don't know how it was long. I don't know how I didn't watch that. But if I liked Breaking Bad, I just don't know how. I never watched it. But have you ever seen it.

First couple of seasons? I don't think I finished it.

You didn't like it that?

It's fine.

I think it's great. I'm two seasons in right now. I think it's great.

I loved it, but I haven't watched the most recent season.

I don't even know why.

I just never got to it. So I've seen where they're five or so I think they're six. I've seen quite a few, but never got to the final one. But no, it is very good, Verry, just as good as Breaking Bad, I think, I think, so too different, but still very very good.

And uh, you got to get to watch the downfall of or you know, the switch from being Jimmy to being Tall is kind of a neat thing to watch.

Back to books, I have this shelf behind my desk where I displayed just some of my favorites, but I rotate them a little bit. I rotated the other day.

You rotate your bookshelf, well, because you know sometimes I'll do videos and it's behind meround. Well, it's kind of just this is what I'm into you all at home that aren't paying attention to what I'm saying.

These are how sophisticated I am. And just I would like for you to know Mitch Pleae has made the cut again.

Oh thank you. It is still it's a very sophisticated I moved the the Contue book by Gina.

What's his face up there? Well, yes, I don't know. Just since we beat Duke, I thought that would look good up there. But Mitch please is undefeated in the rotator.

And I'll give you a little behind the scenes on book two of the Matt Jones.

I would love a book to update.

So originally the idea was that I was going to write about like I was going to take a summer tour of wrestling, write about it and write about where we went and the stories and that kind of stuff. I just I didn't want to spend another summer, just traveling the whole summer like I did for Mitch Please. So I was going to do it last summer. I ended up going to Europe, right, So I had to I had to re meet with them and come up with with other ideas. Right, So I came up with one.

Does she not think you will not be able to appreciate it enough? Not knowing she just.

Thinks, like, forty something white dude in Spain is not a book people want to read. I would argue why not.

I think you should go back to her and say we've thought about it, and we're going to.

Run with the bulls. Oh, and give that perspective.

There's an idea.

I've been there. I've been to that town during the running of the bulls. But that's odd. Pamplona Is is on the way right, so we could time it to where we were there. While they were like, well that could be part of it.

I don't think she understood the concept. If you're she said, you're you're not Spain. It's like, well, that's the point where outsiders going.

A history of the Spanish, you know people. But she was into it. So we're gonna back back to the back to the drawing board. Okay, how about wrestling inspect owes, here's what happens, cash Flow, he runs with the bulls. Mister spectacular is actually the person.

In the ring, the matador.

The matador, right, all right, hey, j I'll do the walk me Tomlin, Haley Jack, that's the walk. All right. It's been two weeks since we picked. Yes, I have no idea what I did that week giving you up.

I've got quite the rundown here. In college football, Matt, you were four and eight a few weeks ago, while Drew was seven and five. In the NFL, Matt was three and five and Drew was four and four. So Matt, you were total seven and thirteen while Drew was eleven and nine, still clawing his way back. Matt Total, you are now ninety eight and eighty while Drew is ninety three and eighty five. You guys both missed the LSU UF game, the what cal Ripken did to Kevin Costner

I don't remember that. What were we?

I don't I don't either, But I also went back in totally the sports individually, Matt. In the NFL this season, you are forty one and thirty one, still very good, while Drew is thirty seven and thirty five. In college football, Matt, you are fifty seven and forty nine while Drew is fifty six and fifty.

Experts is what I call that.

That is a winning record against the spread, both sports, both people. Feels like maybe my editor should have us write a book about that.

I've seen people in the gambling community kind of make jokes about Faye this, and we just goof off and don't even talk about the games. Bring your records and set them on this table right now.

All you out there.

That are spend two hours talking about the games, and well, in the last seven years and night games they've come in and haven't scored twenty points. And you get too detailed. Bring your records right here to fade this. We'll talk about books and cooking and Kevin Costner and still make more money betting on sports than you will.

Agreed. I think the second all that, and we will pick games while walking in Spain for a month. Sometimes the only thing we know about the game is one of the coach's name, and Matt has been in the town. It's end, and we still get to figure out on this, right, and you break it all down, and that's that. I also, I think I can say this. I don't think they'll get mad. I had a producer call me Billy. They're doing a wrestlers style documentary on sports Camera, ah right,

What do you got twenty two minutes in?

Hey, it's not even a record. I think we were longer last time. Normally, I'm organized. I have exactly twelve they're chronological. I'm just reading straight off the app here, So, Billy, if you'll help me keep count, we're just gonna wing it. So this is college Yeah, so how about uh, since it's one of the first ones listed the Egg Bowl, Mississippi State Old Miss. Oh that's a big number. Uh.

Old Miss is a twenty six point favorite. They're out of the playoffs. What's gonna happen on a fun uh Friday?

Gay? Too many points for me to go on for the care Where is the game start for Oxford? It is in Oxford? Boy, poor Mississippi State. Can you imagine going into this game as a Mississippi State fan? I don't want to pick this one way or the other, but Missisippi State's awful. Old Miss really probably doesn't have a shot, but they got to play like they have a shot. I'll take Old Miss to cover the whatever that amount is.

Yea, Missippi State's winless in the SEC. Just as if we wonder what Old Miss motivation is? Does Mississippi State have any motivation? Those those guys probably just want to go home. I'll take Old Miss too.

Yeah. Normally you couldn't pay me to bet this game just because of the ridiculousness, but I I'll do it, but I don't. I don't love it, but we'll take old miss Do we know? Why do they call it the egg Bowl? Because I think of Mississippi, you know, I think of pregnancy eggs, but I don't think of I don't think that's what the game. I don't think that's what the game is about. So why why is it called the egg Bowl? I'm not sure. I've watched it many years and never even thought to look it up.

Originally it was named the Golden or the Battle for the Golden Egg. But why the Golden Egg nineteen twenty seven after an actual battle on the field after the nineteen twenty six bout horrified officials of both schools. The Golden Egg was meant to placate future violence, and it was the trophy meant to represent the best football team in Mississippi. Fifty years later, a newspaper writer dubbed it the Egg Bowl in nineteen seventy.

They so people fought in nineteen twenty six, and they thought to keep this from happening again, we'll use an egg as a symbol of unity.

Yes, that's it.

Mississippi has the fiftieth ranked education system.

That's what you're doing instead of playing rummy at the table with your family.

I don't know what my mom thinks we're gonna do, Like we don't. We don't have hobbies together. My mom would like watch the Brooklyn Tabernacle choir. Larry would watch Turtleman.

That's a good show. Turtleman, Well it was fake.

And then you know, I would watch I don't know like sopranos, So we just we Mississippinissippi State feels like a fair compromise in the middle. Once.

Next, let's just go ahead, get Michigan Ohio State out of the way.

Ohio State is a twenty and a half point favorite. All right, so High State's gonna win this. But I think Michigan's going to cover that. I think Michigan will lose, but I think you know, they have some pride. This rivalry runs deep, and twenty and a half's a lot. Give me Michigan to cover the twenty and that. Did you see Ryan Day's comments this week? I did not what he's saying.

Where he was like, other than my parents dying, losing to Michigan is the worst day of my life. It was like very dramatic. Even Ohio State people were probably like, whoa this is? This is a little extreme. Other than his parents, he said something along those lines like he I think he said this is the worst day of It was the worst day of my life. And he corrected himself like, well, other than a few people dying. But yeah, so you don't you.

Don't worry that he's fired up the holidays I'm taking Michigan also. Yeah, I can assume many points. Plus. They just had that big game against Indiana. They're gonna have the Big Ten Championship against Oregon the next week.

They're gonna win. They don't need to cover, they'll be fine and.

They but they do need to win to make the championship, right or else Penn State would make it. I think, oh, that's I think that's right. I think if Ohio State were to lose his game Penn State, I'm just saying they don't. They don't have to beat him by forty, then I want to get ready for Oregon. All right. So that brings to you the question of would you rather win the Big Ten be the one seed lose be the five.

I've seen more and more people getting on your take.

Who was the first person to say that?

Billy to say?

I said that back in September early, and I didn't even have to see the bracket. It was just common sense. And it's even more sure. It's even more clear now that the eight nine is gonna be like like Tennessee versus Georgia or something, or Tennessee versus Old miss or you know. I mean, I think this is a no brainer.

Shuffled around your take, it has a lot of legs. It's a popular talking point right now.

I think it's a no brainer. You get a home game, you know. Oh yeah, So.

Can I read you the Ryan Day quote?

Here.

We felt what it's like to not win this game, and it's bad. It's one of the worst things that's happened to me in my life, quite honestly, other than losing my father and a few other things. Quite honestly, for my family, that's the worst thing that's happened, so we can never have that happen again.

I wouldn't that's pretty accurate. That sounds awful. Yeah, I don't think I would like him. It's pretty extrame. And that's the only thing I know about him is that quote you don't have to bring in people's deaths to make a y or except for my dad, your mom's probably like, Okay, well you feel the same way when I Where do I fit this? Dad made you sad? But am I? At least would it be worse than losing the Purdue? Who's up next? How about a little

Also, Vandy had that little run when they were beating Tennessee occasionally, but I don't think it's gonna happen, even though they've had a pretty good season, although Vandy needs to win to make a bowl or No, they're they're.

They're six and five. No, they're good.

So yeah, No, I think Tennessee gets them.

Yea, they're gonna play. I think I saw they're gonna put them in the Music City Bowls. Their fans can all walk down the Yeah. Well, I mean they've got a few. Yeah. I like Tennessee a lot in this one. Now. You know, my friends say, Matt, I will bet all your picks, except when you really like a pick. So my tendency here is because you gave me this duck to call this the quack quack pick of the week.

Not just any duck. It has sunglasses on.

It looks like a blind It looks like a duck that's into some sort of fetish.

Like that's gotta what was that movie Fifty Shades of gray masks?

Like, no, that's exactly what it looks like. It looks like a duck that likes to be tied up. And Billy, I don't know why you have that.

The Kawana's Club of Lexington.

Well, let's don't blame the Kawanas Club for your duck fetish. Let's make it clear. There's a matching hat for you to wear if you're with your duck. And Billy also has the hands tied behind the duck's back.

And if you look on the top of most TVs in this room, you will find a duck.

Oh, well, there are a lot of ducks in here. And what's up with the fruit loops on the floor. You've been eating fruit loops. I walked in and saw that.

Oh, that must have been from my breakfast a couple weeks ago. I apologize.

You eat loops. You know that's going to kill you.

I am an occasional I like single serve serial guy yet.

But you understand that I learned this while reading about the speaking of Quack RFK Junior. So I read this article that I thought was a very fair and balanced RFK article. It was like, don't let the forty percent of RFK that's a quack get in the way of the sixty percent of things he says that actually are beneficial.

That's a shame. I'm gonna have to cross it off the list then if it's killing me.

When you get when you go get your fruit loops necks, look on the box. See if you see red three, red four. I think it's fine.

Is this the same thing that was in Skittles?

But I think they took it out of skittles? Here, let me look up. I'm gonna look up what because I don't want, you know, I don't want to. I don't want especially for something like red three when there's like many more reds. What is what is in what is red three?

I searched red three and it brought up a movie called Red the Third.

What is red three? Red three refers to a synthetic food dye it is in many candies. It's in candy corn and like candy corn fruit, cocktail, Morning Star, veggie bacon strips. That doesn't seem like something red three would be in ring pop. Oh, this is something you probably eat a billy strawberry flavored insure.

I gotta mark that off the list too. How am I going to get my nutrients?

But apparently you need to not eat red three.

I thank you for so.

Look on the back of your box the next time you get something. What else?

Double bubble. Double bubble has been around since like the eighteen hundreds.

Hostess ding Dongs, Peeps, Bready Betty Crocker fruit by the foot.

Oh, that's what I served at Halloween this year. All the kids in the neighborhood got Red three at the poisoned Oh no, what have I done.

There's so many adorable little kids and I'm just serving them all Red three. All right, here's what I'll read you quickly. Peeps, Okay, ding Dong's fruit by the foot, double bubble, dull fruit packs, jelly belly, candy, Dippin' dots. Oh, it's the ice cream of the future, but it will also.

What will our future look like without Dippin' Dots.

Pop tarts, frosted confetti, cake bites, and then it used to be in skittles. Oh, and it looks like it has been removed from fruit loops. Now you're not gonna diebell, So there you go. I can't even go back to my neighborhood. I'm never gonna see my family that start waiting. That is your health update of the week. What's next?

How about a little les. We're scrolling USC Notre Dame.

That's a big one. Yeah.

Notre Dame is a seven and a half point favorite on the road.

I'm taking USC, and I think you need to watch USC winning this game. I don't think they will, but I would consider it. This could not Notre Dame out of the playoff. Alabama's going to be up late at night. You know. In nineteen seventy two, USC forced Alabama to finally integrate their football program by beating them at Alabama fifty two years later. It might put them in the playoff if they can beat Notre Dame. I'm gonna take USC to cover the seven and a half.

I'm taking Notre Dame Lincoln Raleigh. I don't know what's going on there. I mean, how is he so bad? They should be good, They should be very good.

I think they're going to the Big ten. Was a mistake for them.

Well early in the year I lost money on him at Michigan in one other game. I just I can't do it again. Can't have them break my heart. So I'm going Notre Dame.

All right, but it's one of our first splits here. Did you see Jalen rose on inside the NBA last night?

Briefly it threw me off.

He was good, what do you do? Oh?

He was just there.

Well, he was filling in for Kenny Smith. Okay, but like you know, they always have a hard time. People have a hard time when they're filling in because like that's a chemistry. It worked with him. He looked looked at Shaq's hands. He was like, look, Shack's hands look awful. He looks like a ninety seven year old man. And he goes, you have one hundred and fifty jobs and you can't get lotion. I figured, even though I didn't get to see much of it, just because he's kind

I'll go first.

You're gonna go first? Yeah? Did you say South Carolina's favorite? Clemson? Clemson. I'm gonna take Clemson. But this is gonna be a great game and the winner has a shot at the playoff either one. This is like, it's probably the most important game of the weekend, isn't it.

It's one of the lowest spreads as I'm scrolling through here, But isn't it crazy? We I mean, Kentucky shouldn't have lost by as many as they did, but we were shocked that they lost to South Carolina And looking back at their schedule, I mean, they're a play away from beating Alabama. I think they lost LSU by a field goal. They're close to having an even better record in their eight and three.

To that point, you guys both took the under on the over under win total for South Carolina.

At yea five. I have to remind them that we'll start out.

That was your lock of the week.

How about my lock of the year before the season started being Vanderbilt. Let's remind people of that one to pull them out of the past.

So another one where we split. I'm taking Clempson, You're taking Sad. I do feel like this will be one of those where one of us is. I kind of think it's not gonna be close. One of these team is gonna be a lot better than the other way. If you want to make the case for South Carolina, you go look, CLEMPS has played one good team and they got blown out, and then they played Louisville and got blown out. So there's there's a shot that get blown out. But I'm gonna still stick with Clemson out.

They might have said it to you, but someone came by and he said, my son goes to Clemson. He was like, no, wait, it was Gundhy. Sorry I'm getting wrong. Well, his son went to Oklahoma State and he's like, even though he loves Oklahoma State, he loves Matt's Gundy impersonations.

You know tomorrow will bless the potatoes and then the Lord is going to help us. Way, what was it when a person wrote that was that was one of the best tweets I've ever seen when when Davo said that he was mad that they didn't get to have one hundred and five players and only had eighty five, and somebody retweeted he even said Jesus only had twelve disciples and he was fine. I think you can be fine with that eighty five players. That was a perfect tweet for Davo Switey. What's next?

Texas Texas A and M Texas is a five and a half point favorite. It's in College Station and having just been down there last weekend in Austin, people were fired up for this game already. They were A and M fans chanting at Texas fans and they still had a week before that game is played.

First time they've played since twenty eleven. The get in price the last time I saw was seven hundred and fifty dollars. Think about the thing of Kentucky and Louisville had not played in fourteen years, and then they play in the winner goes to the SEC champions.

Game, and that's an expensive ticket in a building that holds one hundred thousand people.

I mean, that's that's an amazing, amazing game. With that said, I'll take Texas to cover and win on the road. I'll take Texas. Also, I don't think A and M is very good.

A and M has been surprising, but I just think Texas has another gear that they can't match.

Yeah, Entucky costly, Kentucky loosened a little bit. Yeah, I mean Kentucky beat him up real bad. Yeah.

I left it all in the field there too.

What's next?

How may have we done? Billy six six plenty to go? Well, while I'm looking at it, let's just go and do the Iron Bowl sin Tuscaloosa, Alabama is an eleven and a half point favorite.

What happened to him last week?

I don't know. I mean, it wasn't just that they lost. They only scored three points. That's that's I mean, when's last time Alabama's only scored three points? Couldn't even I don't even have a guess. I mean it's probably been pre Sabin since they scored three points have to be a long long time, and Oklahoma was one in six.

Yeah, I caught some fine bomb and it was everything I wanted it to be. One of the calls was he was livid that they didn't get Dabbo. Why'd we go get this guy? When Dabo he was here, he would have taken it. We could have called him. Okay, But the natural reaction is, okay, Auburn one, Alabama lost, So you overreact to both of those. You said it's ten.

Uh No, it's eleven and a half at Auburn at Alabama, at Alabama. I'm gonna get Alabama. Then, I think the natural reaction is gonna be go too far in the other direction because of both of those results. Alabama still has a theoretical shot to make the playoff. They need a couple of upsets, but it can happen. So I'm gonna take Alabama.

I would take Alabama at even more points, like several more points.

I kind of think they're gonna kill them. They're better than what they did a week ago. They are at home and yeah, if either Clemson or SMU loses, I think Alabama's right back there in the playoff again. So I like Alabama.

How about Arizona Arizona State? Arizona's home team, Arizona State is eight and a half point favorite.

Do you think think the Arizona State coach is a psychopath? Absolutely? That was that was.

That was Danny Hurly behavior on the football. I thought he was going to hit him, Like I was watching, thinking he's about to lift his arm and punch this ref and it's going to be an incident.

It seemed like just complete chaos on the field with player, with fans everywhere. He is losing it. I'm going to say what I've now said five hundred times. We have all the technology in the world at our disposal, and we still make the referees look at that little tiny screens a BlackBerry that someone say, don't they give him a bigger screen? They just look up at the one in the show. I mean literally, the fans have a

I'm going Arizona State just because, I mean, even though he's a crazy person. Arizona's been pre disappointing. They've lost like six in a row, five in a row, six, something like that. They seem to lose every week. So I will take Arizona State to cover the eight and a half on the member.

Arizona was like some people's pick to win that conference. I think I was one of them. We don't have to go back and confirm it. They had like wide receiver that was supposed to be unbelievable.

Yeah, I liked them earlier in the year, but they've been a huge disappointment.

They rallied the troops here though, and give them a game. What's next?

We didn't do Arkansas Missouri rit No, this is number nine by Okay, Arkansas at Missouri.

The Battle of the Ozarks. Loved the Ozarks. We almost died there, great times. I don't That is the redneck capital of the world. It was a good scenery though. Remember in the Ozarks they didn't even shut down for thirty minutes for COVID. What's the old They actually encourage people to come get it? The kissing boots? What was that? We win?

That store that felt like it had been around for they had for certain No, No, that's the town in Kentucky. It was called it was something like that. Yeah, but it's like they were just selling stuff that was one hundred years old in there and hadn't changed the thing.

Yeah, Willie Nelson pinto beans.

That being said, Missouri is a three point favorite.

And where's the game Missouri? Did you see yelling across the way? Yeah, I think you're gonna take Missouri. Arkansas. They hate their coach. I think they just Sam Pittman. They don't like him. I'm gonna take Eli drink A Witz Smart. Disappointing year, but still a good team. Give me Missouri to win that. Have you ever seen the trophy for this? It's the two states put together. Yeah, like that wouldn't fit in any trophy case. I'm gonna take Missouri.

Yeah, I'm going Missouri to h Brady Cook. I've been believing in him forever. I feel like he's got limbs falling off. He's been hurt all year, but he's gonna have a big day on Senior Day. And we already know Arkansas, they've already they've moved on to basketball. They've forgotten all about the football team.

And with with Thursday and Friday off for the holiday, Luther Burden didn't have to work at the bank such o, thank so he's gonna be able to get to the game. He's not like any phone, he's not been ringing, so he's able to focus with Luther Deaton junior and he'll be able to uh to get it. So I'm going to take Missouri all right, me as well, Kansas State Iowa State. Big game here, very big.

Game, number twenty four at number eighteen. Iowa State is at home. They're eighteenth and they're a two and a half point favorite.

These are there are still nine teams that can win the Big Twelve right now. It's crazy depending on how it all all comes out. Iowa State is at home. They basically if they win therein the championship game, I think they get it done in Ames, Iowa give me Iowa State. I like Iowa State too.

It's had a bad loss recently, but I still think they're good and I think being at home will really matter and this one, Ames will be on fire. We were just leaving a day early. We could just slide through aims and go to this game.

That's true. Well, originally I thought the ESPN thing won't get canceled and we could have done that. But we have to do it, so I like it. Ames will be will be hopping.

How many more billions? I don't want to miss any of the big games. What if I'm not done?

Well, you haven't done Kentucky Louisville. Do you want to do that one?

I mean we yeah, let's do it Kentucky Louisville.

What's the spread? It was three and a half, but I'll make sure it still is. It's breaking my heart to do this, but we'll wait a minute. Is it still three and a half three and a half Louisville. Yep, I'm still taking Louisville. I just don't feel good about it. Plus this will make me if we win, I'll feel better. Well, I actually have Louisville by three as my pick, so

I'm going Cats and we've just won two many a row. I think at this point there's just a there's a mentality on each side. One is a loser walking over to know they're gonna lose, and then whatever juice Mark Stoops feeds his team for this game every year, they come out angry. They a lot of those players might

He'll get it done. You want to have one more hurrah, right, one last ride, one last ride.

And I feel like the Governor's Cup doesn't have a lot of life left just down the road, unfortunately, and I would love to just end on a ridiculous streak and kind of have those back.

I do think we're probably not that many more years left in it. If if the SEC goes to nine games, and then if they do that scheduling thing with the big ten, then I think the Governor's Cup may be headed to the dust bin of history. A lot Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and like Texas and Texas, A and m were for many years. All right, what's the last one? Who else is big? What do we need? Some of these ones? I'm looking at kind of state?

I mean, any Mormons this week?

We could do another Friday game. I got Colorado? Oh, okay? Who they play? Oklahoma State? Your boy Yon versus Mike Gundy? What is it?

They got a lot in common? Sixteen and a half.

Oklahoma State covers that you know, Dion, They lost their chance. I mean they have a shot at making the championship game. They have I have to have a lot. They have to have like four games go a certain way for them to make it. Dion All but in the locker room said, you know, you all blew it. Did you see his postgame speech? He was like, you could have done something.

Now you not started smelling yourself.

He started smelling yourself, which is a weird thing to say. I know Oklahoma States had some bad losses. I just looked up they've lost eight in a row. I didn't know it was that they was this game, but I think I thought they had at least a win in there somewhere. Yeah, I'll go Colorado.

Travis Hunter is gonna pad his Heisman campaign and they will cover that.

Can you when you say you smell yourself? Can you smell when you stink?

Yes?

You can smell when you yourself stink? Yeah that might bo Yeah can't you can? Yeah? See, I think it's it's interesting. I think that's harder like I can, but most people don't. Because people do. I know one person we work with it. I'm gonna assume they don't, or they wouldn't. They wouldn't voluntarily choose the way they do. But yeah, I think it's something like you just don't

Or the kids that smell like urine, which kids does, Like in grade.

School, you just walk around smelling kids.

No, it's like you can't not smell the kid that smells like urine when he walks in.

When was the last time this happened with you?

Specifically third grade? The guy's name was James.

Okay, jeez, James probably got trauma from this, Like James might listen to the show, like, you don't need to be like talking about James.

Well, I just got over this and you're bringing it back out.

A lot of James out there, kind of a come full circle. You know. The Book of the Year this year, what's that it's pretty much winning every award is called James.

Just James is the title.

It is the story of Huck Finn told from the story of Jim. I would like that. I've never even heard of That book just came out and it's one It just won, like the National Book Award. It is expected to maybe sweep the awards in a way a book hasn't done in many years. It's it is, Huck Finn told from the narration of Jim. When I get through the five books I'm reading right now, in two years,

I could write a book about James back in third grade.

Bout him smelling like you're yeah, all right, well please don't do that. If you want some holiday shopping done this weekend, why don't you go pick up some touchdowns. There's really say, they're on saleh grab some touchdowns while you're out. I'll take two Najy Harris's. They're on sale to the Draftking sports book. They have Doorbuster profit boosts, bet one get one promotions all weekend. Oh, I didn't know that. That's kind of exciting. So all Thanksgiving starting tomorrow,

I mean, there's a lot of James out there. I think it's ambiguous enough. He'll be okay.

I bet he's been going to therapy since third grade and just graduated from third grade therapy and thought he was over it, and now you're bringing him back up.

It's surely a parental issue.

I mean, I won't say where it is, but we recently were somewhere where someone that was there smelled really bad and I thought it was Ryan, and I didn't know it wasn't to his credit, but I didn't know whether to say it to him. And I actually got Mario involved and I was like, Mario, smell Ryan and see if it's Ryan. And he was like, oh, no, it's not Ryan, it's And then I felt better because I didn't want it to be right.

Just so both of you know, if it's ever me, I like to be told.

I would like to be told too.

I will not be embarrassed. I would like to correct.

I had a girl I dated say your breath stinks and and she was like, I like you, but like it does. And it allowed me to realize it and it was a simple fix. But had she not said it, I wouldn't have known.

Is it ruder to say you have bo though than bad breath?

It's in your presentation? It is. I come, hey, stinky face, like you do have to.

Just a simple hey man, you got a little dealder on you. I'd reapply or get you another swipe in there. Just let them down easy.

You don't. You don't have to like point and you know, say, hey everyone look at the smelly kid. Well, I mean what time you know, Ryan did show up to the show one.

I remember that it was brutal. That was like a laundry mildew situation. I can still smell that. It was as close.

Awful and I mentioned it on the air. My mom did not like that I did that, but it was I didn't think I could get through the show. I remember that day very well. That was odd, it was. It was a remote awful And he's right, it was a mildew thing it because mildew is the worst smell. My dryer at one of my houses doesn't work very well, and if I accidentally leave it, oh my gosh, it's brutal. That's what he was. His was like that day.

So he had taken care of himself just to shirty through on. Let's do some NFL, all right, we got a lot of fun ones this week. I'm just gonna do all the holiday games. We got three on Thanksgiving, starting with ear Bears playing the Thanksgiving Lions. Excuse me, Detroit is a nine and a half point favorite at home.

You know, there. There are studies that showed the the Lions and Cowboys get huge advantages playing at home and Thanksgiving because it's not just a Thursday game. It's a day game, so it's like double advantage. Normally, the Cowboys are good, the Lions are bad, but the lines are good. This year it is my Bears. They're coming off a tough loss. I'm going to take the lines to cover

Yll they're so good. Yeah, I'm going with the Lions. I thought when Hutchinson went down it'd be a little more significant men, but they picked Ray back up with big Z in there.

Yeah, all right, what's then? You got the Cowboys and the Giants. Maybe the worst quarterback battle in the history of Thanksgiving. It's going to be Drew Locke versus Cooper Rush. Crazy. Although Cooper Rush got a big win last week. He did play well, but this is good. I mean, can you Tom Brady had to leave his house and his family to go call a Lock versus Rush game.

It's it's actually sad looking at this on the Thanksgiving schedule and you have the two win Giants and the four win Cowboys.

Yeah, what's the.

Spread Cowboys minus three Cowboys or Phil Gold take the Cowboys.

They're gonna win that game, although they haven't won it home in like six months.

But Sunlight, Yeah, McCarthy might get an extension.

Jerry Jones is I mean, he is insane. He's gonna be putting Trump's cabinets before what doesn't matter, like you don't have to be qualified to have I mean, just what's left, whatever it's left. Let's just put Jerry Jones there. He'll be He'll be just as good as any of the rest.

Of them as someone who likes the Cowboys. I do not like that guy. And then you'll be watching it a game and it shows a sweet and everyone who has a position with the Dallas Cowboys has the last name Jones. It's just like the whole family.

Let me ask you a question. You know the ambassadorships. Do you know, Billy, what an ambassador is to a country? Yeah?

Yeah, yeah, for the most part.

So it's a legacy from back before you could like just call people on the phone. Basically you would send an ambassador every country and they were essentially the president of the United States for that country, right, Yeah, so because it took a long time to communicate. Now it's not as important in a lot of places, it's just

Yeah, where you want to go? So the Spain is out of the question.

Get Spain. Something might happen with Spain.

I might go like, uh, like Sweden or.

Not a lot of tension with Sweden. Now it gets cold there, it does.

But you know that a lot of good looking people around you.

But you're gonna be old at this point. I don't think, well, I can't have my ambassadors creeping on the Swedish women like it has to. You're gonna have to keep it still. We can't have a story coming out and you can't be at the Stockholm strip clubs. Okay, you're gonna have to So like, if you want to go there, that's fine, but I can't have you out, you know, on the street. It's trying to hit on Swede.

I can't make any promises.

But I'm not sending you Sweden. So now where.

Probably like Iceland.

That's no, there's the same problem. You're trying to go where there's hot women. First of all, you're married, conceivably at this point you are engaged right now, Billy, I am. So you're not going there.

Either, okay, Uh, then we'll probably take it a different direction, probably go a little bit more tropical than the countries you're freezing in all the time. I'm probably going to.

Like Portugal or right next to Spain, or.

You know, someplace crazy in Central America or close to it.

All Right, so I'm sending you to Paraguay.

That's fine. I'll strive. I'll thrive.

Billy is my Paraguay. What about you? You're my Paraguay ambassador.

I have two countries I love. I don't know if they fit your qualifications, but if if there's a place for me, I would love to go to Ireland.

It's close. I trust you enough that I would see. I just want to play a little bit of golf. Then there's the thing. You can't get drunk over there. I mean I can't, But I can't have stories that I pass out in the pub. You know, I'm not gonna say it would never happen. Then there'd be occasional times a week causing a scene as my ambassador. But it's more about the golf.

But if I can't have Ireland, you know, let's say I do get I'm there a week and I pass out of the pub, and you gotta ship me somewhere else.

Scotland's nearby, like I could like the same issue. All right, I'll send you to Ireland, Billy to Paraguay. You all, I promise you. If I've become president, I've already driven all over Ireland. I know it.

I know the roads like the back of.

My Remember Trump's Irish ambassador was the story I don't He was the owner of the Jets. Wood He john what he Johnson was there. That was why I remember he got so mad. They went over to England and he invited all of his Irish friends to come watch the Jets and they lost by like forty and he fired to coach the next day.

I've got some Irish friends in Lexton. They're some of my favorite people. I'd like to have a lot of Iland. There's a lot of Irish people in Lexington because the horse. Yeah, it was with one in Austin pretty late. We were almost passed out of the pub. Like you worry about you do not do that is my ambassador. Who's next?

What's the next game? We just did? We do? We pick Giants? Cowboys?

We you didn't?

Yeah, I was gonna say, even though I'm a Cowboys gual, I'll take the Giants to cover. Yeah, I just think both teams are so bad.

You're gonna take the Giants. I'll take the points. They're both full of disappointment, all right? What's next?

The night game is the Packers hosting the Dolphins in Lambeau green Bay is a what is it?

Three and a half?

Three?

Three? Excuse me? Pers green Bay at home? Three points hosting the Dolphins Green Bay. They're gonna kill them. Dolphins don't like to play in the and it's gonna be night. It's gonna be really cold, sposed to be like twelve. So give me, give give me the Packers.

Yeah, I mean the Dolphins cannot handle it whatsoever. I like the Packers here too. Do we want to do? Uh what's the Friday? Yeah, of course we're doing the Friday game. It's the Black Friday Games.

Chiefs by I don't even care because they lost on the Christmas Day. I know it doesn't matter. First of all, the Raiders are starting, Like Jimmy dan Connor.

H these games are close Chiefs they usually.

Are, but they but see they lost to them on Christmas last year and they're not gonna do it again. They're gonna They're gonna They're gonna destroy that. This is gonna be the Chiefs are giving them everything. They're gonna give them a big old smack across the face. Give me the Chiefs. Gardner Minshew got hurt.

Uh the fact that they're down to Jimmy dan Connor says Jimmy.

I mean Jimmy dan Connor hadn't been in the league and ever, and they're still gonna have to start.

So minus thirteen Drew.

Yeah, I'm with Matt though.

I mean, the Chiefs are gonna put on a show.

The only thing on.

They're gonna make a big, big splash here about winning. By Taylor's gonna be there, and this the fier sweater and this the first is this a prime? Because it's Black Friday, They're probably gonna be doing pop up ads with where you buy this hat During the game.

Al Michaels is gonna be showing off close. He's gonna be modeling. Yeah, give me, I like the Chiefs here. Plus it's in it, it's in. You know. Taylor's gonna be there wearing a saying a hat, give me, give me, give me.

Jason Kelsey will probably be up in the suite with yes, all right.

They won't have Brittany Mahomes anymore though they kicked her out. She's not been in there in a long time, you know, she uh there. There's rumors why some people think it was the you know, cause she's maga. I kind of doubt that's it. I feel like they would get past that. I think it's just Brittany Mahomes seems all. I know someone who.

And you know him too, has been in the suite next to them twice and it was like it is unbelievable.

The whole game now just rowdy and kind of obnoxious. She is, I mean she remember she poured the dump dump the drink on some fans a few years ago. And yeah, it looks like Taylor's only hanging out with Blake Lovely, which I would too. What's wrong with that? She seems more fun than Brittany Mahomes to me. What's next?

All right to Sunday? How about the Bengals game since we're leaving for our road trip from there. Bengals Bingles Steelers Cincinnati is a three point favorite.

Oh, I'm looking forward to being there, but we're not going to the game.

We're leaving, right, Amerson. That will be in the atmosphere.

Yeah, it's supposed to be rowdy, That's what everybody says, so uh, give me the Steelers. It's gonna be rowdy, and they're gonna They're gonna come back and they're there. I don't think they're gonna win. The Bengals are gonna win by one point.

Yeah, I'm a little surprised of that line. The Steelers have looked so good and the Bengals they just keep losing close games. So I think the Steelers will be like, I'll beat them by one Cincinnati will lose another heartbreaker here, So I'll take the Steelers to certainly cover getting three points.

I have some breaking news for you, Billy one. Ain't on.

No.

You remember I read you the rant that the person wrote about you. Yes, well they've written me back. Oh an update. All right, I'm gonna be the bigger man and apologize for my rage on Billy. I did hear your comments at the end of the show, and I understand his associate supporting him having a bad day and was just getting tired of hearing him on the show in the manner he puts things out. Everybody's got their own way of doing things, but I think he just rubs a lot of people the wrong way. But I

That's great to hear. I'm glad somebody's apologizing.

It's not gonna be you.

They will not be me.

Do you want to say thank you to him?

Thank you?

Yeah?

No, that was nice. I think we all make this sake.

Look at the Thanksgiving yeer, Phil, he's got a little smirk like he wanted battle.

Oh.

I definitely surrendered.

Don't don't rub it in his face. That was nice of him to do. Older people. They don't like him.

I know that's fine, and he did and taking it.

Who was a nice apology.

We've done four, Billy, we've done five, so three more.

Okay, we'll make sure we get to the good ones. I'll go ahead and do Eagles Ravens in Baltimore.

Ravens are a three point favorite. Old team. He was playing good. Figured it out in Baltimore. But see that's like twenty minutes away. Like Philadelphia and Baltimore are surprisingly close.

A little Saquon Derrick Henry here.

Yeah, I'm gonna take the Ray Ravens three point. Yeah. See, I gotta do the same logic I did with the Steelers. To me, it's a coin flip, and if it's a coin flip, give me the team getting the point. So I'm taking.

Them, doing the exact same thing. I keep picking Baltimore every week. Still like them for the super Bowl. But in this game, I'm gonna get three. I'm taking it, and.

It's a coin flip in the NFL, especially, take the team that's getting the points. I got the This could be the super Bowl. Yep, what's next? Oh, let's pick.

Another primetime games? Do we have two?

Drew I have I missed some. I was, I can go and do Monday.

If you want to do Monday Sunday Monday night, yep, okay.

Uh forty nine bills Sunday night, then that's a great game.

Yep.

Buffalo's a seven point five.

With ye give me buffalodown broc party. And I was always suspect on him. I always thought he was prety overrated and what were you going for?

Overrated? He was the last pick of the draft, but he.

Was properly rated in the draft. And he's been overrated since. I mean, he's party good, but he's not great. And because of that, we've people have acted like he's a top ten quarterback and he's not. And you're seeing with with it, with his weapons out, you're seeing what he is. Give me the bills.

I'll take the Niners. If that were just a few points shorter, I'd be with you. But seven is a big number. I'll take San Francisco to cover that. They'll lose, but they'll keep it within seven. Can I tell you an age thing with Mario please? You know he does these TikTok videos and he writes out it's AI generated, but then he checks the words, and he's done that now with the forty nine ers and the seventy six ers. He writes it as seventy and then sixers rather than

Yeah, It's like, yeah, that's actually what it is. So I'm hoping the next time one of these teams comes up, I don't see him because he did that with the last one. It said seventy six ers.

You can do six ers with the seventy six ers, not with the seventy. They go by that little bit forty nine ers. You gotta have the Yeah. Nobody goes yeah, six seventy. Nobody goes niners. Yeah, yah, I guess both. You don't put the seventy and the forty. Yeah, yeah, you don't do that?

All right?

One more, sticking with the ninth theme, Monday Night Broncos Browns Denver is a five and a half point favorite in Denver. Jameis wintzton how many times they say the altitude matters? Eleven and a half it's an ESPN game.

Any the way, I don't think it matters. I think they lie about that.

Are you talking about, like physically with breathing.

Yeah, well, they act like that. You can't get used to it. I was I've been to games at the Broncos Stadium and you can't tell.

Are you running up and down one hundred yardfield?

Now, let's not get specifics. I had to walk to my seat.

You know, golf balls fly further in Denver?

They do? Yeah? No, I mean, I'm not arguing against the idea of altitude. I'm saying I don't think it affects these highly trained athletes in these games.

What about when they leave Denver and they're like, Wow, that was different and talk about how it was different.

Do you just not believe them? I think it's what do you call it, placebo fugazi. It's all in the air.

You think Denver has a marketing campaign. When these guys show up, it's just in their head and they're losing their breath.

I mean, you've seen Yokic. You think that guy's in such good shape that he can handle it. Nobody else can. He's the fattest dude in the league. I will believe anything Jokich does. He's trained himself. I had a guy last night, you know, we were watching k Tucky play basketball, and for people who are elsewhere in the country, Tucky has a sinner who is not the best at dribbling, Mar Williams. He's working on it. And I tweeted out something like, I would rather not see Amary Williams at

Did you see a few nights ago when Yokich almost did that tip in full court, So there's like point three seconds on the clock, but they're oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he just punches it and it almost went in from that court.

Yeah, if that had gone in, I would.

Have believed that he's some created alien here to just master basketball.

The thing I like about him is the moment, the season's over. Like the second it's over, he is at a D level horse track in Serbia, not even hiding, smoking and betting on the third race with maiden horses.

Also, the moment the season ends, he takes his shirt off and he does not put it back all right until training camp the next year.

I mean, he's the dude that if he lived in Kentucky, he would not go to Keenland, he would not go to Churchill. He'd be at Ellis Park. He'd be at every He'd be at the Wednesday session at Ellis Park. Or he gets excited when they reopen the Red Mile. Yeah, Keenland's going on, but he chooses Red Mile because the traffic is so bad on your sales road. He chooses Red Mile. Can't smoke in Keenland, No high like you

The game, Oh who's playing Cleveland Denver?

Fake altitude is they don't even have mountains. I'm gonna take Cleveland to cover the five and a half. Jamis is on roll. He's talking about how God is like great and and he loves the snow, so give me give me Cleveland for Ryan Lemon.
