Also, it's take a shot. I just had a shot of Sikoro tequila. Mikey had a shot of Sicoro tequila right after a mister goodbar and the mister goodbar terrible. That you know, look, I love Secoro, I know it's good, but the combination was was total ast I took a talkback, he takes out, took a talk

games against the Spread with a guest celebrity. Oh, fixed with Alcoholism presenting its friends, picking games against the spread with agust celebrity. Everybody fast, It's fantasticall joining us now on the Freak Hotline. Oh, a very good friend of all of ours a great man. You know him from his work in Napoleon Dynamite and in both seasons of The White Lotus. Actor John Grys is with us. Hello, Uncle Rico. How you doing? Man? What's going on there? He is, You're the best waking up early for

us. You're on the West coast at six am your time, so you get up as early as we do. I get up early anyway, because I have a parrot. He likes to eat first thing in the morning, first thing the light cracks, He wants food. Are you really a bird owner? You have a parrot? Yeah? I do. I have a parrot. His name is Pablo. I don't smoke weed anymore, but when I did, I had a good two hour session where I'm like, there's a f an animal that learns our words and repeats them to us. Yeah.

What words does Pablo say? Not really that many? Like he just you know, says good boys, step up? How you doing? You know? That's so cool? What do you feed him? Important thing? I think I've always been confused, like what did they eat? Like the stereotype is a cracker, but what do they eat? Really? No, no, they you know, it depends on which you know, because parrots are all different species. They're not actually breeding their species, and he's gonna

collect his parrot from the Solomon Islands. He eats shoots and vegetables, mainly vegetables, but like you know, maybe twenty percent of his diet should be seed and then the rest of his vegetables. That's incredible. Well, thank you for taking the time to hang with us today. What you guys doing. We're apologizing to you because obviously it's a Ranger celebration here and we this is not a normal thing. But we have champagne and to kill you.

Yeah, and we are. Our whole goal today was essentially just to get absolutely hammered from six to ten am. Dude, I'm excited about I'm excited about the Rangers. That's what Kevin said. He said, you actually have been following it or like the Rangers? What's going on there? Just you know, look, I like an underdog. I like a team that hasn't won or hasn't even really I mean they what have they been in one World Series ever? Before this went to two and then had our hearts ripped out

in twenty eleven the Saint Louis Cardinals. So a lot of Demons there. Well, the Cardinals have done that to a lot of teams. Who are you a fan of I'm a Dodger fan, Oh, I mean, I'm a baseball fan, you know, in the American League. I probably liked the Blue Jays a lot of my girlfriends from Canada, so she's grown up like loving the Jays, so I I, you know, kind of just you know, I've also really really liked them, you know, for a long time. So but but I was really really rooting for the Rangers.

I mean, I'm first and foremost, I'm a baseball fan. You know, that's fantastic. You ever take the lady friend and get a hotel room at Skydime and you know, have the room and just watch the game. And no, we haven't done it there, but we've done like the bleacher seats at Dodger Stadium, like where we sat like in the first row in a home run seats, great seats there. We haven't been you know, she's originally from Newfoundland. We've only been Toronto just in the airport on our

way to Newfoundland together. We haven't really spent any time in Toronto. So so when we talked to you last time, we were talking about them talking about the white load us a little bit. But I was texting you and I was like, hey, mean, because we do we do this bit every week where we picked two football games and this obviously Dallas Cowboys Country, but man, the whole town is just celebrating when we're having her preyed tomorrow

tomorrow. Yeah for the Rangers, like we're having big times that we've never had before. So I appreciate you probably know about Corey Seeker more than more than we did being a Dodgers fan because we, uh we signed him and we were like, okay, yeah, we've all heard of Corey Seeger. We knew he was a big deal when he played in the World Series here. It was COVID times. We were maybe filling the stadium halfway. It wasn't even like a real World Series, it seems, so we didn't even

fully know what we were getting. So so you know, so true. I mean, yes, the competition going towards the finals in twenty twenty was still tough, but at the same time it was such an odd, you know, fractured thing. Yeah, he was. He was hard to let go. I was like, what you're letting Choy seeger Go. He's like he's a legacy. He's like he's like a team dude. You know, Rangers got a good pickup. And I love Marcus too and I've always followed

him so cool. Yeah, blue Jay's connection there too. Well, this is John Grys, the actor who's been in the White Lotus many things of of course, Uh, Uncle Rico and Napoleon Dynamite, played with Ryan Bingham before. You know he he's been around a little bit. Here's just so you know, John, you're here. You're picking for the celebrities this week in two games. One will be the Cowboy game will be another game.

Some of the celebrities that you're matching up with are Dick Valentine of Electric six, comedian Paul Vargiese the hot Dog Champion, Joey Chestnut one, Christina Ray Legends, and Mike the Mosquito Moscatos. There's a lot of huge, big name celebrities here. You were with him and the celebrities this year, Mike, I'm sorry, John, first place at eleven four and one. You have big shoes to fill here. The celebrities have been killing it and they're

in first place. Wait, wait, eleven four and one Bay. Yes, wow, unstoppable. Okay, so I have to pick every what is it? Uh? You know, it's like I pick all the games. I picked who's gonna win each games? In every game in NFL, NBA through the weekend, it'll be a Cowboys and Eagles, and then it'll be Chiefs and Dolphins. Those are your games. So do the Cowboys first. Obviously here in Cowboy County, all right, we have the Cowboys, uh

plus three plus three points? Cowboys at Eagles. Cowboys are getting three points. I'm gonna have to Ah, boy, that's a tough call. I think I think it's I think it's going to be the Eagles, So do ok that's fun. A lot of people I think they're both such good teams this year. But I just think in in Eagle Country, I don't know, I don't know, the Cowboys can be really upsetting. You know what. I'm gonna flip that. I'm gonna go to the Cowboys. Whatstic Cowboys

see they get some inspiration from the Rangers. Things are kind of coming up DFW around here. John, So yeah, smart'n. I'm gonna go with the Cowboys. And then on the other game, I'm definitely gonna go with the Dolphins. Ah Dolphins plus one before you do know, I did love him and I love him even more. John, when's the next time you're coming to DFW. You have any plans to come to Dallas Fort Worth? I yeah, I always look, I've got a lot of friends in Texas.

Obviously I go. I like, I go to Fort Worth and I go to Dallas a lot, So yeah, I'll be down there. I go to the Magnolia Motor Lounge, man, and there you go do a lot of good music there. I've seen our guy on the show here, Danny Bayliss, who plays in mini bands and hasn't mean you've probably seen him. He probably actually hasn't Katie dan'el and the guitar, I probably am. I've been down there. I mean, you know, I go to Austin a lot too. I mean you know, Texas is like my my homewoay

from home. Hell yeah, man. Jennifer Coolidge cool she's amazing. I just went to New Orleans. She had a Halloween party. It's incredible. She's incredible. She's been great for so long. But I almost like the I don't know if it's the white the White Elephant, the White Lotus resurgence for her and getting some award nomination a white Elephant because Christmas is coming up. That's right, that's right. Crimbo is right around the corner. What

were you for Halloween? I was the snow White Oh okay, hell yeah, but it was amazing. But here's the deal, Like, she is one of the most incredible human beings you'd ever meet. There's nothing fake about this woman. She is who she is, and she's just an amazing I don't know it. She's such a gracious human being. It's incredible. Well, it props to you because a lot of people, you know, did not even recognize maybe you and the White Lotus, the role that you played

in seasons one and two. Of course you know a lot of people like they didn't even recognize that that was you. And props to you for you know, doing that and then that role in the storyline. It's all incredible. So you're a beast in that man. I mean, it's probably because I didn't wear a wig like I did when I did. Right, that's fair, that's fair. You know twenty years ago about uncle recall obviously, is that twenty years how long ago? Is Laslow because this is Laslow from

Picks with Glenn's picking games against the spread with the guests, Celebrity Picks with Glenn's and all my friends. And that's where we go to this week's celebrity Glenn, Jose and Frisco. Hello, Jose, I'm sorry what you yourself in? That's that works? Good morning guys. What's up, Jose? You fired up today? Do you watch the

baseball game last night? Yeah? Absolutely? Man, Hey listen, I grew up in Mexico City, and in Mexico they only show fourteens, the Braves, the Dodgers, the Cubs, and the Yankees. So I grew up a cups and so think about it, right, and then when I come to take because when I was fifteen, dude, I fell in love with the Rangers. So not only did my Cups win the championship in sixteen. Now I can say that the Rangers wanted in twenty three, So super pumped up? Hat a boy? Can I ask you? I've always been

very intrigued by going to the celebration for Dia de la Momerte. Is it fun? Is it cool? I mean I don't want to even be stereotypical because it's safe, because I don't know, I mean, do you recommend that as a trip for a gringo? You? You know what they always say, man, you get to stay in the resort, right, go

outside of it. But I think it's super safe. Man. You know, people there are incredible, and if you do want to visit and or experience the beauty of Mexico, you have to go in the holiday Yeah, Los Mortos and you know, Christmas and stuff like that is amazing. Hey. Before I do my pick, though, I want to shout out to my kids, Marianna, Gabril and Andres. And I just sounded like Mario Lopez, but you cross Hispanics, you crushed? Did you have an afrienda

for Halloween? No? You know what? So my kids are half white? Uh so you know we've never done the friend that thing, but but I definitely wanted to do that next year. We did one for a dead dog this year. Oh yeah, you know, that's what I heard. I heard that. I didn't even know this, but apparently leading up to Halloween, like we celebrate different things, like, you know, celebrate the ones that died on accidents and dogs and things like that. I never knew

that, but I guess we're can start doing that. We did it for the dog that went missing and we assume it's dead. What does that mean? What is it? A friend? Yeah, so it's a little it's basically like a shrine. The candles, Yeah, and and tortillas and that movie. What that movie? The Disney movie. Oh yeah, mo Lo Coca, the cutest movie so good. Yeah, I've cried enough this week. I don't want to watch anything. Thank you for Disney movies. It's

in a week of tears. Jose from Frisco. You are representing the Glenns who are ten and six this year and in second place, So give your yes. Justin and Sherman, Jeffrey from Fort Worth, George christ from Austin, Mark from Flower Mount, and Danny from Dallas. Okay he did have Yeah, all right, you gotta do Cowboys. You're gonna do one other NFL game? What fire? So let's do you know what, Let's let's just go Cowboys. I think Texas is going to take it all this weekend,

So why not Cowach plus three? Cowboys plus three? Okay? And and then why why don't we double down and uh and pick the Juggernaut the Browns versus Arizona. The Browns take it all, okay in Arizona has two losses in a weekend. Yeah, and they just traded Josh Dobbs. It'll be Clayton toone starting for the Browns this week, the brother of North Texas sideline reporter Nathan Tune, who you can hear Saturdays. The ninety seven won the freak Browns minus eight. Thank you, Jose, Yeah, thank you

guys. Thanks Jose, I see you, dude. Let's go to Danny Bayless, who is nine six and one in third place. Daniel, it makes the most sense to pick the Eagles over the Cowboys at home, giving the Cowboys three points, which makes me do the opposite. I am also picking the Cowboys, as the previous two celebrity and listener pickers have done. I have no logic. I don't really even believe in writing the emotion of the good DFW sports vibes. I'm just doing the opposite of what makes sense

and that seems to serve you. In this segment. The second game, I am going to take the Baltimore Ravens over the sad Seattle Seahawks. And what do we have that as that? A plus six for Seattle. Yeah, Ravens favored by six. I think they will cover that. Baltimore minus six for Danny. I am next at eight and eight and Kevin is going in Cowboys plus three. I actually do think that the Cowboys will just win. And part of the reason I think that Jalen hurts second in the league

in turnovers, he is given the ball aways get. He's got eleven turnovers compared to our one Dak Prescott, who does not have that many turnovers just five. I think I think Cowboys winning this thing outright. I think they found something. I think We're in good shape right now. Cowboys plus three. I'm taking Rams plus three over the Packers not going well. Jordan Love has been told next ten game is very important for your future, buddy, So Rams plus three over the Packers. Mike, sir Roy, you are

next and you are six nine and one. Thank you. Uh. I'm gonna go with unlike Danny, I'm going with straight magic. I believe that it's a time and a place for miracles. So I'm gonna just bet on things that I want to happen. And I think if we just will it into existence, we proved it yesterday, it can work. Give me the Cowboys plus three to screw it, money line them, Let's go win that

game. And then yes, I'm taking the Miami Dolphins, who are in Germany against the Kansas City Chiefs. But it's Dolphins getting a point and a half. Let's go. Rangers win, Cowboys win, Dolphins win. All right, Dolphins plus one for Mikey eight thirty am Sunday morning. Thank you, Dolphins. Chiefs in Berlin. JJ also six' nine and one. I was looking at pitches of Jalen Hurts the other night. You are a good I'm hot. Yeah the other night. What time? Don't worry about

it. You bet ely down? What time? A mid day thing? That's he's gorgeous? All right, Cowboys Eagles, come on. I'm never betting against the Cowboys. Dak is eight and three against the Eagles. He's the best against NFC East teams. Give me the boys in Philly. It's gonna be a great game. I'm excited to see it. Two great looking quarterbacks out there on the field. Okay, I'm at their game. What are you talking about? Nobody is more quarterback horny, quarterback horny of their

franchisees. We do need her to rank all thirty two d from tomorrow tomorrow. Seriously, maybe next week, not off the ranger high. We're not gonna have anything for tomorrow afterday. Maybe we'll talk about the actual game last night tomorrow. No one cares about it, that's the thing. And so, oh my other game, uh, Vikings versus the Falcons. I think I'm gonna pick the Falcons. Taylor Honey Keys getting the start. Yeah yeah,

he is in The Vikings don't have a quarterback anymore. Yeah. Well, if the idiots can figure out how to get Bejond the football, Oh stupid, they are stupid. Wasn't he sick though last week? It was two weeks ago, a bit of a headache, But then they gave him one carry in the fourth quarter, so it's like, how bad was the Headache's hand, the young man the football. We'll get Malcolm's picked tomorrow. Coming up next, we will do our predictions from the Ghost Pepper Pavilion for

Cowboy, for the Ranger game from last night. See if anyone get some points. But Danny's gonna spind the wheel because you owe us, Danny, spend the wheel now, in the wheel now and I'll pay off next. Okay, we'll spend the wheel now. Yeah, I hit it. Come on, oh oh oh great, come up, come corioke Kamakazi koyoke.

And you're picking the song, well, it has to be a Bob Seger song in honor of Choreoke the World Series MVP Danny, So pick your Bob Seger song that you're gonna sing at the beginning of the next segment, I'll tell you what we'll pick up. We'll pick the song next. But let's just go ahead and turn the page on this segment. All right, that's next, more wheelspins. I promise you this show is not ending without me or somebody venmoing seventy one dollars to a random listener, maybe more than once.
