The other day we were mailing it in for dinner. Dad didn't feel like cooking, which I usually do, like nine out of ten
meals, I make it home. But I asked him, I go, what do you want to eat tonight? He goes Chick fil A. I was like, you know what, let's go. We went to Chick fil A, and I'm trying to eat better. So I just got like a snack because I knew I was gonna make something healthy at home for myself, so I like the three piece strip, no sides, no drink or anything. He got a twelve piece snug with the medium fries and a mac a medium size of mac and cheese. Our bill was twenty two dollars for all
of it. He ate everything. Yeah, that's all him, all of it. I'm like, dude, you are a little person and you ate twenty dollars worth a Chick fil A. They eat and they poop. Man, It's incredible. Like he could probably put a massive Dent in the twenty dollars Philip Box given the twenty dollars Philip Box challenge from KFC. I was watching that commercial and like, you know, sometimes I understand the concept, Like I even get the pizza hut. I understand their concept when they're like,
it's the big box. We've got to slide it out the pizza and then there's gonna be breadsticks, and there's gonna be some some sweet maybe some wings. I was like, well, you just putting anything in the box. I don't get the Philip Bucks. Maybe a wing or two and some some big pieces of chicken. Get used to see what's in the damn thing? Writers Strike Over actors still trying to get that figured out. It's but
all the late night shows are back tonight. I know it's uh, you know, kind of a thing that people might take in virally more than watching. But the late night shows are back tonight. Does this mean this is the end of Strike Force five? I think it does. They're made a joke in episode seven about how the first episode is not very good. John Stewart comes on, the first episode is terrible. They're like, oh no, everyone's saying it gets better after that because it does this is really funny.
I'm kind of because I've been listening to that. I'm kind of interested though, to see what their shows are like, because they if they're having actors on, they can but they can't talk to them about anything. Nope, they can't even say the titles of films. The actors are resuming the agociations with Hollywood studios. I bet that gets done soon and you'll start hearing
big news on TV shows coming out in movies and things like that. Let's dive into the world of the NFL Week four Danny, because I would say this, it was not the best day of football, like all across the board, but there were a few things that happened that I took note of and think it are interesting, like the eight thirty am game in London, which was Jaguars and Falcons. Am I the only one who caught the toy
story broadcast. I had it on my tiny TV. I saw skid Mark Steve posted something about it, and then it seemed like it was mired and technical difficulties, and from what I was able to ascertain was they had the game, but they use some type of green screen or a grid to superimpose animation onto the players. Players were trackers. That's what it was there, and and then they had the animation almost like video game technology used to mimic,
but it was set in Andy's room on toy story. So like, for instance, the sideline marker is Slink, the dog that was the first down chain. The field goals were blocks like building blocks. Okay, the goalposts were building blocks. The every time the ref would spot the ball, it was the hanger you know from like the claw from the claws from the machine that would drop the football now and then the players and it would drop the ball. Then it was so good, and the soldiers were like the
refs were. They coached by Buzz and Woody. They didn't have that, they didn't have that mapped out. They didn't have good the sidelines there was there was too much like going invisible when they run off the field. Yeah, the clip that I saw it looked really bad. I mean it was you could tell it was an experimental type thing. Now, they did have
Booger McFarland and a guy named Drew Carter on the on the call. Would you like to hear hang on Booger McFarlane in just two or three years has fallen from having an automated wheelchair that circled the entire stadium to doing cartoon football on Disney Disney Bottom of the Bookmobile to the Toy Story broadcast series on Disney Plus. It was interesting to watch because it's a crappy game they didn't care about. I was like, okay, I'll stowed on to who it is.
I thought this was kind of funny. Though football is already a difficult sport. Wow, it's even getting more difficult with aliens and saucers flying around grew. I wonder if Aaron Rodgers is seeing these UFOs, wouldn't be the first time he's still now I watched, Okay, kids don't know what aluasca is. I don't know my kid knows what bean snappers is? Yeah,
I mean, what's aaska? Ask your dad. Booker's doing a good job leaning into the character of doing a game for for you know, children's audience and Drew Carter's life the first in twenty or first it did for the Falcons, like being serious, referencing things kids don't know about it to be doing this, Booker's actually trying, though, football is difficult, especially when aliens are on the field, and they get the aliens are flying around abother.
Football is already a difficult sport. Wow, it's even getting more difficult with aliens and saucers flying around, Drew. I wonder if Aaron Rodgers is seeing these UFOs, wouldn't be the first time he's still now Alwaska Booger took the babe started doing a built humor. We're gonna keep wow wow so dumb. It's kind of funny, though, uh not a good game. Jacksonville one, twenty three seven. Now. Next week's opponent is the forty nine ers.
Last week's opponent was the Cardinals. The Fortners and Cardinals did play yesterday. The first six touchdowns in this game were scored from players who went to Stanford. That's crazy. Christian McCaffrey had two, and then Marco Wilson had two for the Cardinals. It was thirty five sixteens the final but weird. It was the last I checked on that game before he got out of him.
The Cardinals were within a touchdown. It was twenty one three, and then it was twenty one sixteen, and then it was thirty five sixteen. Yeah, so it was like the middle portion. The Cardinals had the forty nine ers just loaded. Are the Cardinals onto something? I know that their record sucks. They did beat Dallas, but their losses are not embarrassing. No, they're not. They're not. And there was like a lot of talk about them tanking or or Skyler Murray gonna come out. Joshua Dodd has
been good. I don't think they're good, but maybe they're just not as bad as the world thought they were. Now who is bad as the world thought they were? The Bears and the Broncos. Unbelievable two oh and four teams or two oh and three teams duking it out. The Broncos end up getting to win, but because the Bears traded up to get Justin Fields, the Bears currently have the number one and the number two pick and next year's draft, which if Matt Auber foss their head coach, he used to be
the linebacker coach here. If he's gonna get fired anyways. Caleb Williams dad, KELEL Williams, the quarterback at USC. His dad's already been like, I mean, he may not go to the NFL next year, just kind of the seas like we'll just have to see how it lines up. He's basically saying, we're not gonna get drafted into a trash franchise. We'll just go out to USC for a year. I'm not just gonna go to a bad place. So if I'm the Bears, I'm right now I'm going it's
justin fields thing. We've seen enough. I'm getting on the phone with Caleb Williams and his father saying who do you want to be the coach? And they're gonna go dhonnt Or. They're gonna say Lincoln Riley or Cliff Kingsbury, whoever is, because he's up there at USC right now, right and the Bears go good, we're gonna ride it out with this guy. We're gonna
lose, and then we'll hire your guy. We're gonna draft Caleb, and we're gonna draft the best defensive player of the draft or the best wide receiver at number two, and that's what's gonna happen. So we're losing. We're just letting you know I would do that right now, because it's the play you have to make. God, you can't suck. Kind of various is that? Though? That seems like such Yeah, you can't take in football.
People can die, Yeah, you can't. You you'd have to work out a deal with the kid's dad to get a coach of his choice. That sounds crazy for not as insane as pumpkin people, but insane. Look around, okay, you'll see everybody. Look around. Bills beat the Dolphins forty eight twenty just crushed him. They did crushed boy. It looked like early on that we were going to have a forty eight to forty five game.
Yeah, and then it was like watching it was like watching, oh god, like a set of tennis where you get you break somebody serve, you know, and they and they just keep trying to get to get it back and they just never could. And that's what happened to the Dolphins, Like they broke serve or they got their serve broken, and we're never able to even get close to getting it back. But because they're who they are, you're like, oh, yeah, though they got this, they can
score it will and you know they couldn't. Bill. Bill's defense is pretty iff and good. Those are damn good. They are damn good. Philly beats Washington thirty four thirty one. They're to bleed that one over into the Cowboy game. I mean Washington tied that game with no time on the clock, makes the extra point that goes into overtime, and you're thinking, can they deliver the first defeat for stinky Philly? Go for two man and we
let it right? I thought it was riverboat Ron Ron rivera like riverboat, but didn't he The gambler let him go for two and they kicked him went to the ties. It's a bad plan, okay, guy who should be household name in a sneeze Poka nkua, but two Puka Puka nakua. Tell me more. Fifth round wide receiver out of BYU yesterday nine catches for one hundred and sixty three yards and the game winner. He has thirty nine catches through four games. How many catches did he have in his best year at
BYU. He's got thirty nine through four games in the NFL. How many catches did he have in his best year at BYU? Forty forty eight? He's already about to pass like his last two years at by forty three catches and forty eight catches, and he's got thirty nine and four NFL games. They just throw it to him all the time, and he's amazing, and he's got a cool name. Pooka Nkula, The three and one Baker Mayfield Bucks, Danny Boy, the retrenching of Baker Mayfield, the Reclamation Project,
if you will. Crazy. Who would have thought. I mean, they're probably not good still, but because he hadn't played anyone and the Eagles beat him, they crushed the Saints twenty six to nine. I didn't think the Saints were good, but I don't think they are that bad. They got Alvin Kamara back, he had thirteen catches. God, but they just couldn't get anything going. And the Bucks are twenty They win that game twenty six
to nine, and they're three and one. This's just crazy. I don't know one more before we get to Taylor Swift Madness and some more audio. The Bengals sucked now, and that's hard to believe. Derrick Henry had a rushing touchdown and a passing touchdown. It's his thirty fifth one hundred yard rushing game. He's four away from Earl Campbell for Titans greatness. How many one hundred yard games do you think Zeke had or has had in his career?
Derrick Henry is thirty five. They were drafted in the same draft, Derrick Henry second round, Zeke first round. A lot of people wanted the Cowboys to take Derrick Henry in round two, bet Zeke's got forty thirty two thirty two three less. I thought it would have been about equal, just to show that there was no bad pick in that draft. There was no way
any of that could have gone wrong. Sunday Night football, and I was pretty locked in because I was curious to see how they would handle it, because I had read a thing earlier in the weekend about how they discovered Taylor was at the game last week if you remember, Chiefs and Bears was shown to two thirds of the nation, okay, and it was a blowout game.
So in the pregame, Aaron Andrews and Greg Olsen are on the field just doing what they do, just act like there, you know, there to take notes or something, and Greg Olsen calls over to Travis Kelsey to tie in friends. All right, they work out together all this stuff, and he goes, hey, what's going on with this? Like Taylor Swift thing. A lot of rumors going on, and up until that point they had no clue that she would be there, and Kelsey tells Greg Olson as
she's actually she's coming to the game today. You know, He's like that kind of secret, and then Olsen tattled. Well, then Olsen's like, Okay, I'm gonna tell my producer. So the producer tells all the camera operators be panning these Arrowhead stadium, these suits, looking the sweets. Don't stop until you find her. Keep looking at the corporate suites. Tom ra and Aldi use the other sideline reporter. He's texting his daughter, like monitor
social media. If you see anything about Taylor Swift, please text me asap. Okay. Five minutes before player introductions, one of the camera operators for Fox identified Swift in the very back of the Kelsey family suite. You see. They found hers through mama on Donna, and then they saw Taylor and they're like, okay, what do we do now? And they didn't want Kevin and Greg to make that the game. But that game was much like the Cowboys and Patriot yesterday, a blowout. Were you looking for stuff to
talk about? They said, we didn't want to turn the game into Access Hollywood, but it was a terrible game. We just made sure that the times we did show or she was reacting, you know, not just showing her eating popcorn or something. Now, last night NBC said, thank you for giving us the outline. Fox. We're gonna do it our way though. Here's how they started the game last night with Mike Tarico. All Right, they go right to Tarico and Collinsworth in the bo She's dynamic duo of
Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey on NBC's Sunday Night Football. Oh and yeah, she's here, Taylor. Please in the house, and we thank you for having us into your house. Mike Dariko, Chris Collinsworth. Well, let's to start high Swifties. We'll be with you all night. No, there'll be a big part of the nights we go through. Let's get to the game here. Okay, this is actually pretty good to go high swifties.
Yeah, because you have to watch there's a bunch of girls who don't know you know, teenage girls or whatever, who don't know who you are, who don't watch football. There's plenty that do alright, how they tease the head. It's gonna be a big part of our night. Well, they go to break. Yeah, they do the big setup and then coming up next, is there coming back from brick right before the opening kickoff. Let's go to the set of the voice where we've got all our people there.
You've got Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton and Nile Horn and maybe it's Reba. I think this go around up, give me Phil, give me fire. And then I asked this question to you guys, what the hell has happened to Carson Daley's voice? A and B? How cheap? How cheap? And then after this we go to the opening kickoff. Hello, America footfall us plumbing right up. I promise Carson Daly's turning into Trump. Hello footballers, go listen. It's so amazing America football us clumbing right up. I
promise you. We all know this is not just any Sunday night football game. He's in the end zone, she's on the bleachers. She's had a lot of big catches. This would be the biggest tailor shifts. Finally put you on the map. We got a call from our friends at NBC Sports asking us to put Tonight's story in language that the legions of swifties would understand. Do you think we can help him out? Audience. Here we go this guy, Travis Kelsey, he plays to the Kansas City Chiefs. On
the other side, there are these guys, the New York Jets. They've been left with a blank space after losing their star quarterbacks. Sure they're gonna try and shake it off, but against the defending Super Bowl chances it's probably not likely to happen. Maybe only in their wildest dreams. The facts are that Chiefs have a fearless, magical mastermind who likes to throw the ball to the guy with plenty of style. So this is Sunday Night football. We
really hope something enchanting bos you feel like this tonight, Chiefs Jets. Welcome to New York everybody, sure, trek Well, we took care of the Taylor Swift song time right out of the gate, Carson Danley knocking that out for us. Taylor is here and ready to watch as the Chiefs and the Jets. Ridiculous. This is incredible is much the NFL is leaning into this hard? You know what's crazy? You know who else was in that suite? Uh No, I didn't Blake Lively, Ryan m Yeah and Hugh Jackman.
All of them were in that See I didn't like that Hugh Jackman was with them. By the way, Well, you know they're shooting the dam Pool three. I know, but the feud just needs to go on a little bit longer until the movie started. It's like, what, this is crazy, it's untime on. It's it's almost like a publicity to look more like it every day. Taylor's one calculated bitch. Let's not get that. She's probably a fine gal. Now, Chris Collinsworth, Yeah, I'll do
it real quick. Chris Collinsworth, No, next, Chris Collinsworth puts something terrible in the minds of America. My god that plus, do we have some proof that Travis and Taylor trailer if you will made the stinky extra Tavis, someone won the freak
