And now we'll do the intro before we introduce our mystery celebrity guest. Here's the intro to this segment. Picks with Glenn's Picks with Glenn's picking games against the spread with the guests. Some librarty picks with Glenn's. You know, all my friends picking games
against the spread with the guests. Some library fantastic huh shoining us now on the ninety seven to one the freak Hotline one of my friends and music leaders. It is from the Polyphonic Spree, the Great Tim Delatter. Hello, Tim, Hey guys, how's it going morning? Tim? I thought I was afraid he was gonna say Nick Earle, But no, we got Tim. You got me this time sorry about that, Danny. Do you think Nick Earl would be good at picking football games? I don't think you could
get Nick on the phone this early. I'm still waiting for him to reply to a text of mine from like three months ago. He has so much heigh. Oh my gosh. Yeah, he's got he's got a lot of hair. You know. I take that back. Nick is probably up right now because he never went to sleep, That's true. He was. He was reconfiguring his pedal board all night. Yeah, that and probably building a new Fetzer valve in the in the back there. He's always building something.
He's good too. Man. Well, we're not here to talk about Nick. We're here to talk about you before we get to your picks. Dude. I didn't even know this was a thing until my oldest son sent me a little Instagram message and said might be worth checking out. And it was a clip of you doing a podcast with freaking Rick Rubin and I Kevin and I. I think I started it yesterday and I got up to I think I'm a little over an hour into it now. Yeah, I got about
thirty minutes left. So there were two things I didn't even know Rick Rubin had a podcast number two. I didn't know that you were on a podcast with Rick Rubin, and Man, I cannot believe how authentic and transparent and beautiful that conversation is. Wow, it was kind of a trip. Man. First of all, I mean, I knew he was a fan.
He would come to our shows when we played in Los Angeles, and he and I kind of corresponded through the years back and forth, but I really didn't realize how much of it a true fan of the band he wise. So it kind of caught me off guard there a little bit. And then especially when you know he got emotional about it, that was like, I mean, I'm just sitting with him, you know, Indian style, doing this podcast, and it was kind of amazing. But yeah, it was
a pretty uh genuine moment. It was that with him. I don't know if you've made it that far into the pod yet, Kevin, but there is and I hope I'm not spilling the beans too much, but you did bring it up, so I want to expound on it just a bit.
But there is a moment in this podcast where you are telling a story about a show that you guys were playing, and the electricity went out in between songs and you're you kind of look around the stage and you know, have a brief moment of panic and then realize, you know what, seventy percent of my band is playing acoustic instruments. We've got horns, we've got woodwinds, we've got strings, and you're in kind of a theater. Let's just
perform. And they end up performing about half of this tune, okay, And at the apex of the the big crescendo of the tune, the electricity at that moment magically comes back on and the chorus hits, and the lights come on and the amps come on, and it's just this very powerful moment. And he's telling this story to Rick Rubin, all right, and then Rick Rubin goes, well, do you mind if we hear this song? And I guess you know, Tim's got his phone and they plugged the phone
in. He plays the entire song for him. Diamonds is the song. Diamonds is the song. Yeah, And I guess it put Rick kind of he imagined himself being in the theater when that moment happened, and they come back, he is openly weeping like it affected him so emotionally and I think Tim even got choked up a little bit. Probably watching Rick be so affected by something that you were such a big part in creating. That had to be a really cool moment. Man. It was. It was awesome.
I mean, like I said, I mean I knew as a fan, but I didn't realize how much of a fan he was. And you know that I didn't have the the song on my phone. That's off of his phone. Wow, he just plucked there was a dongle there and he goes, well, I've got it, and I go, yeah, okay, you can play it, and so he played it. But yeah, it was a trip man. You know. That was in Malibu at his Shangri Last studios. And yeah, he's been doing podcasts for quite some time now,
and this is a new one that he started. Tetrigrammaton is the one that he's he just started and but he had one for the longest where it was kind of filmed. It was filmed and some of it wasn't. But he's been doing podcasts for a while. No, it's it's great now everyone's checking out when you get a chance. Also, look at the new album Salvage Enterprise came out into last month. It's great and beautiful and it's what you expect from you, honestly at this point. But there's it's there's some
surprises in there too. Yeah, and the story of the record is kind of intense and really good. But we've also got the holiday show, the annual Holiday Extravaganza, year twenty of it, and y'all are doing two Tomorrow night, yeah, and then one on Saturday night. That's true. And you know, I had mentioned to Rick that we do this holiday show every year. This is our twentieth year. And you know, after I got back to Dallas, his people reached out. They're actually filming the Christmas show
and he's putting it out on his YouTube channel. Wait, they're filming your Christmas show and he's he's hosting, Dude, that is awesome. He's they've got a camera crew filming it and they're going to put it on his YouTube channel. Holy crap, that's amazing. It's a trip. He's like, all in. It's great, man. But yeah, so two nights this year, for the first time in twenty year years, we're doing two nights and Friday night and Saturday night. And there's tickets still available for Friday night
and it's going to be a hum dinger. Those tickets are available at pre kindle dot com. And uh, we've got some a few surprises in there. And you know, if you're you're you want to get into Christmas spirit, there's nothing better than the holiday extravaganza. Twenty years of this thing, I think we've got it down. What what what do what do we expect if we end up at one of these two shows or both tim I mean, are you doing a lot of uh, standard spree stuff or you mix
it in some holiday tunes? And I don't want to you don't. I don't want you to spoil spoil the surprises. But kind of what what do you expect when you when you go to one of these, Well, it's pretty off the wall. It's it's like it's a kind of reminiscent of old seventies variety shows was the main concept from the beginning. So you kind of have a little bit of everything, Like we have the the the zoo come out and bring these animals that kind of he'll do it action with the audience.
And then we've got the tap dancing tap dazzler Grandma's that are all out there doing their thing, which has always been kind of charming. We've got a magician, we've got all the Charles Dickens characters roaming the audience. You'll leave home that night, you'll wake up in a couple of days and you'll still be finding confetti from the snow that's being dropped there. It's we dropped something like five hundred and seven hundred pounds of confetti each night, so it's
it's kind of a crazy thing. But the Spree does a full blown Christmas set about ten twelve songs, and then at the end of the evening we do a full blown rock show where it's nothing but the Spree full burn incredible and it's kid Bridley too. Right. Oh yeah, that's that was the
main thing. It's like, I wanted to show how it started. It was I wanted to show that could you know, my kids could come to and then their friends family, you know, their friends, their parents, they could come to the show, bring their kids and the parents can enjoy it and the kids can enjoy it. So it's kind of for both both parties there. And I can't believe it's been twenty years, man, but
it has. It started off in Lakewood Theater and we've we've resided at the Majestic Theater for quite some time now, so the city's behind it and it's it's pretty great. It's awesome. It's my favorite night of the year, Friday and Saturday night. I'm bringing my five year old niece for the first time. Oh yeah, she'll he's a perfect day. She'll kind of blow her mind. Yeah, she's she's gonna love it. Saturday, That's when
I'll be there. But we have a couple of pairs of tickets thanks to Tim and Chris Penn of course, with the with the Polyphonic Spree giving us two pair of tickets to give away today to Friday Night show. So I'll say this, JJ, just whatever, caller four and call her five if they want to go. Right now. We got a pair of tickets to give away to Friday night show just because the Polyphonic Spree and their people are
so nice, so cool. There you go. I'd love to bring newbies to the Polyphonic Spreme Holiday Extravaganza. Well how are you doing these days? Tim? Feeling good? Ready for Christmas? Everything good with the fam. I don't know if I'm ready for Christmas yet, I've kind of slow started, been really busy, but everything's good with the family. My kids will all be here in a few days, which will be great, so I'm looking forward to that. And yeah, I got these shows. I've been
rehearsing pretty much NonStop. We rehearse tonight and just gearing up for the holiday extrava games, and that pretty much occupies all my time. I'll be glad when that gets behind me and then I can get ready for Christmas. But overall, I'm doing good, feel blessed, and I'm ready for some more Cowboys absolutely, and that leads us to picks. We picked two games for really no reason or no payoff, but Cowboys and Bills. Who do you
get? So, I mean, I know Josh Allen, that's yeah, He's kind of a toss up. You can see where we could go either way. I mean, I'm going with Dak. I'm going with the Cowboys, no doubt. I'm thinking twenty seven. I think they're I don't know. I say this every year. I believe in the man, but something looks and I've said this too, We've all said this, but something looks different about this team, and especially Dak right now that I don't know.
Man, the dude looks dialed in. He doesn't have that kind of glazed over, scared look in his face when he has when he goes in the backfield. And I don't know, I'm I'm feeling it. So I'm gonna go Cowboys twenty seven covering, all right? Uh, what about the other game, Seattle Eagles. You know, Jalen Hurts is pissed they got their ass eat the other night. So I'm gonna go with the Eagles. He's gonna try to turn it on, and I know Nick is over their heads
blowing and they've got to make Philly happy this time going into Christmas. I'm gonna go with the Eagles. All right. Well, Tim, we'll see you this weekend Friday night Saturday night at the Majestic the twentieth Annual Polyphonic Spree Holiday Extravaganza, and also grab the new album Salvage Enterprise at any of your local records. My god, it's really good. It's really good. It is. It may be my favorite Spree album. Thanks you so good, dude. I hope you you should be very proud of that, dude,

By mister fuego bye, in fuego, mister fego. Danny, it is time from mister Malcolm. Fifteen and thirteen third place. It's always a wild ride with this one. My almost three year old son. He will be three in March. He has done very very well. We're
very proud of him. Sometimes some very controversial picks. Sometimes some controversial picks that work out well for him. Let's get to his now. This was recorded yesterday just before nap time. We're laying in bed, lying in bed, and we had just watched a little bit of what's the show that he's into right now. It's a show about an excavator and a trash truck and their best friends. No, it's called Stinky and Dirty. So we were watching Stinky and Dirty and we're ready to go down for a nap, and
I was like, you know what, let's get the picks now. So he sounds kind of ready for bed. Hey, what up, welcome? How you doing you good? You good? Yeah? Cool? I want to do some football picks, brot to they get you what I want here? Today, get you? What does that mean? You want hair to get me? Okay, can you do a couple of picks real quick? First, let's do the Dallas Cowboys at the Buffalo Bills. Who would you like to pick? Are they taking the bills on this one at home?
Huh? All right? Okay? How about the Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars? Ravens, Jaguars? Who do you want to pick? Y Jaguars? You need the Jaguars, don't you? Yeah? What can you tell me about jaguars? Oh? Wait, you like him? I'm going How do we let you climb your climb? Climb, climb? Jaguars like to climb. Yep, that's so true. Okay. Do you want to say hi to KT? Hi k T? Do you want to say hi to you? Jj hi jj to Mikey come home alive? Came home a wife?
All right? Very, good job? Anything else? Hi Katy? O? Good job baby? Unprompted, bye bye o. Wait day, have a great day, have a great day. I was ready for to be like what up? Bitches? Right? Hey, he knows he's going to be on the air, he knows how he's a he's a professional, like his old man. Have a great day. Have a great day, keV out of nowhere. Hi, Kevy, Oh, come come up Alive's kind of funny too, just like come home alone, Mike. He's been in
New Orleans for a week, so yeah, it's to be expected. Now, Danny, you are in second place, tied with the Glenns at fifteen twelve and one. Who do you at? I made the mistake of betting against Dallas. It never works out for me, especially since the bye week. I'm taking them. I'm taking them to win this damn game, come hell or high water. They're gonna find a way to carry this, to keep this thing going. So I'm taking the Cowboys. They got Tampa Bay
at Lambeau. Green Bay is favored by three and a half. That's what I've got them down as Yeah, I'm taking the Packers, Okay, yeah, I mean three and a half at Lambeau against a team that's meh, I'm gonna I'm always gonna go with Green Bay at home. I don't care who their quarterback is. They're gonna find a way. They looked like utter trash, yeah they did the other night, and I I think they will respond from that. That's kind of half the reason outside of their home field
advantage that I'm picking them because they did look like utter gardens. I think they're better than that. They let the Epping Giants beat them. The one of five teams in the NFC here are sitting there at six and seven, all fighting for that last spot in the playoffs. That's gonna be crazy race to the end. I'll go next because I'm next to the Stantings thirteen and fifteen, Dallas plus two and a half. It's the one time this year
maybe that we're gonna have Dallas getting points. Be interesting to see if they're favorite against Miami two on the road next, Miami could be the favorite. So I'll take the points there, Dallas plus two and a half, and I'm gonna go with kind of what Tim went with. If a team's pissed, I think you're ride with them. I got the Chiefs minus eight over the Patriots. I mean the Patriots sucking me on that, but the Chiefs have to be mad and they kind of need to win. Yep, So
k C minus eight for me, let's go to JJ. Yeah, Katy and I talked about this yesterday. I mean, we don't know what kind of Josh Allen will show up? But I expect this Dallas defense to get at least two picks. Man, give me Dallas in Buffalo, Dallas plus two and a half. Yes, all right, it's gonna be a great game. Excited. Uh, I'm gonna go with Denver and Lions. The Lions are kind of falling off a little bit. Another minus five at home. I think Denver might put it to him. Yeah, Denver, that
game is gonna be Saturday night. I think, Uh, what's the line on that? Do you have Denver Lions minus five? Okay? I have four on my on this thing that we're going off of. You good with that? Lions minus four? Give me the Broncos. Okay, Denver plus four? Yeah, I think yeah, I think they'll least cover that, but I think Denver might might take that. Okay, Yeah, Denver plus four will take. And then Mikey sent his in last night because he's in
New Orleans and Danny Buffalo minus two and a half. Okay, and then Arizona plus thirteen and a half the forty nine ers, yep, taking the points. I think Kyler could cover that bit close. So there we go. Another week will Malcolm catch the celebrities. That's what everyone's watching it. Maybe the Glenns are watching if they can make a run here. But will a two year old that knows nothing about football win this thing? I think we're all secretly pulling for this. A great tease, I know, I
am. That's all I want. I watch every week and on like I hope Malcolm steams win. Thank you to Tim de Lotter, Thank you Jeremy from Dallas. And uh, we'll maybe do it again next week, but maybe not. Uh, Danny Things Morning News. This new alcoholic beverage is coming to shelves near you. It will make you ask the question why
