Little bit low you can just be the good guy be like hey I got two more cases coming yeah I mean I I’d already come with two cases myself but if we needed more than the two cases I’m bringing on the way just like that come with two

While one’s getting delivered there you go that’s that’s a great strategy too obviously we got Danny here also hey yeah hey all right so yeah it’s it’s Super Bowl week we got the boys in we we also had some breaking news Jersey Jerry just tweeted that his producer Lucas so

If you watch Jerry after dark uh he’s going to have to get a Taylor Swift [ __ ] stamp tap too MH so chaps said not a big deal not a big deal at all no it’s not why he even tune in apparently yeah I mean I I love the fact that he’s going

To do it and I think that’s actually the way to do tattoos like there’s so many people that go out and be like I got to get something that’s super meaningful my grandfather died and he served in World War II so I got first C tattooed on my

Arm that’s great it’s a good tattoo but also just go out and get a Teletubby like who cares is that how the Ronald McDonald came to be you’re just like give me Ronald McDonald no that was uh I lost a bet so me and my buddy do roll we

Went no he probably doesn’t like that I said his name but me and my buddy Sean dooll let me just put his first name out there too you want to spell it for us s Master Sergeant Shan dooll who is MIL police monitor at quanico Virginia

Okay in case you’re looking for him so he wouldn’t like that I said that so I won’t but we went when we were in a course to become uh what’s called a kennel master when you’re in charge of like all the dogs on a base we went to

The kennel master course and one night we went out and had a couple adult beverages MH and order like before we went back on base we went to McDonald’s and we had a chicken McNugget eating com like a contest who could eat the most chicken nuggets and if you lost the

Other person getss the design any tattoo that they want you to get oh no but it can’t be like a dick or an open puss or something like you can’t do any of that but you could do anything else so he was drunk he had the he had the McDonald’s

Cup in his hand and he looked at it and it’s the M the Ronald McDonald where he looks like he’s running and he’s running to throw the trash into the trash can like to recycle it and he was like that you got to get that your reaction let’s

Go I love that so the next day the next day we went and got it can you show the people yeah I mean and that’s you’re the best that’s that’s [ __ ] insane and he only picked like the the worst place to get a tattoo like pain pain pain wise yeah you

Got to pick location too so he was like I want it to be on your ribs did did you get to did he get to pick the size of it cuz that’s a massive bigger than a football size was me if I’m going to get run rald McDonald [ __ ] you I’m going to

Get it B you don’t want like a finger Tad of Ronald McDonald no I could have done that there was no size stipulation but I needed to get it done I got a funny tattoo story too so the first one I got was my mom’s birthday but then

Once you get that first tattoo you just want more open the to what you said you know I was looking for something inspirational meaningful so what did I do I resorted to the Bible and like I hadn’t read it I just I was talking to

My friends I like Yo which verse do you think sounds the coolest he’s like this one I was like like all right [ __ ] it I’m going to get it so I got it on the love [ __ ] it get that Bible so I got it on the inside of my

Arm and it was even though I walked through the darkest Valley I’ll fear no evil for you’re with me but when the guy put the stencil on he spelled the chapter uh from the Bible wrong but I had never read it so I didn’t know it

Was wrong I’m like yeah [ __ ] it that thing looks good like put it on there so I get it and I post a picture of it I’m like this like something looks wrong here so I look up the Bible verse I’m like oh my [ __ ] god this guy spelled

It wrong so then I had to go back and since the quote says darkest Valley I got like this Forge tattooed on the inside of my arm but it actually covers up like the misspelling of the chapter what was the chapter Psalms but it was spelled PE slam he spelled

It he just he boofed it it’s not the error I was expecting yeah yeah I know it was crazy what were you what Bible verse you think fit smokes the best oh yeah probably Genesis I got a Bible verse where on my thigh it’s a hot dog that

Has a Bible verse written out in the mustard and the Bible verse is Matthew 56 which says Those Who hunger and thirst after righteousness will be filled and I was like hunger let’s do a hot dog I’ll put I like hot dogs now again can you show the people uh you

Want to leave your okay sure take your pants off your pants off yeah I’ll take my pants off okay oh oh my butt cheeks came out that’s fine nudity is allowed I don’t think so right there can you see it unbelievable I can see it there you

Go it’s old raise it up a little bit oh yeah Dave get a little closer I got it I’ll help you out yeah there it is there’s the hot dog with the Bible verse that’s [ __ ] nuts there you go meaningful you got a little PE dribble

On your uh uh that happens charge it to the game that’s 41 yeah in regard did that just happen when you turned 40 brother I’d be pissing yeah mhm yeah you’re just leaking all day yeah oh yeah so are are you done getting tattoos you think I’ve actually

Thought about my older kid wants me to get one with her so we thought about it doing it me my wife and Kelsey so she wants to do like the Texas blue bonnets okay like she wants to do that and I told her pick whatever she wants to and

I’ll do it hm what about you you think you’re done um I’m done right now but I definitely want to get more like I always wanted to do like a a full sleeve yeah you’re doing on your right arm though I know I didn’t think that thre

But at the same time I don’t think it matters anymore like I just I love that quote from who was it Nick um the basketball player where he Nick this arm’s just for buckets stly for bucks yeah I love that I love that line now

Chaps I don’t want to when did you how old were you when you got that Ronald McDonald 18 okay so you’re you’re Peak Fitness yep no I was smaller on this still like I even when I was in the Marines I wasn’t huge I was like 155 to

170 and you are what now 215 that’s kind of where I’m getting at no offense none taken your body is much different oh yeah how much stretching has Ronald McDonald Had does it still look similar I think it still does and I’m actually shocked cuz this has got to be [ __ ]

15 years old at this point and it’s still has like decent color whereas definitely you know that’s Ronald McDonald Ronald’s got a little fatter over the years too he’s growing with you more realistic yeah and I don’t mind I mean I’m 41 eventually when I’m 80 I’d

Be wrinkly who cares like who cares two best tattoo sleeves I’ve ever seen one was a manager at the YMCA that I worked at when I was in college vegetarian dude which back then it was I don’t think it was as common to be a vegetarian

Especially as a dude probably not he had a sleeve on both sides that was nothing but vegetables like it was he had like he had like carrots and radishes and broccoli and all kinds of [ __ ] just Gardens on his forearms yeah on both arms like from the

Shoulder all the way to like his wrist it was nothing vegetables yeah it was incredible man like that and it was so V vibrant and so bright I love that one the other one was a dude that I met in okanawa and he had a train set like a

Train tattooed on his arm and then his shoulders he did like the um [ __ ] Road Runner where you go in through it like tunnel he did the tunel on his shoulder and then did it on the other one coming out and then the Caboose was on the other side that’s do sick that’s

Actually cool that’s like super creative I was like God damn that’s the best tattoo I’ve ever seen like yeah that’s that’s a sweet that’s that’s a sweet tattoo yeah both of them so if I if I didn’t have any right now I’m probably going veggies if you see like a Taylor

Swift album cover the number 13 on as a [ __ ] stamp you having that same reaction cuz that’s what Lucas is staring at oh Jesus well I was going to say so it’s one thing to get a Taylor Swift tattoo it’s another to get a tram

Stamp for a guy but if you have to get a Taylor Swift tattoo maybe the the [ __ ] uh stamp area is the best spot cuz then people will automatically know it’s a joke he could have just did it on his lip like I had a lip tattoo and they

Told me that it was only going to last two years and here I am 5 years later and I saw it on my lip yeah it’s a birthmark now what does it say it says yep thanks it was like a slogan we used to say back in high school but like if

Lucas had tattoos all over his back you could sneak the [ __ ] Stamp in there and it’s whatever but this kid does not have a single tattoo on his entire body I think you got to go like breastplate if you’re going to get one and it’s a

Number I think you put 13 right smack dab make it like 4 in Long 13 right there in the middle and people are like what the [ __ ] is that mean so it’s just a number 13 it’s not no I don’t think it’s I was going to say cuz you could

Play off 13 yeah it’s got to it’s got to have like TS or Taylor Swift third it’s got to have something on he’s got to do a big say like [ __ ] stamp Taylor’s version there’s something there tram stamp Taylor Swift TS TS or you can have

Like you can do an acoustic guitar and have Teardrops on it yeah but would you agree if if you saw a guy with like a Taylor Swift tattoo on his arm on his chest you’re like oh is he actually a huge Taylor Swift fan if you see it on

The tra are you’re like okay had to be a j yeah a really bad bet so oh you’re a Taylor even lose I don’t think I don’t think Lucas is losing he didn’t need to lose anything he did job well now he has

To now he has to uh get a trans is he is he officially fulltime yeah I believe so all right then what are we doing here he’s like Jerry’s uh dealer or no deal man he’s just in the booth talking down on them you can’t even see him you just

Hear their voice all time find seven more needles I don’t know this is this is this feels like a wild move for a non- tattooo cuz I’m I’m I’m the non- tattoo guy and like kind of what you were saying like people always wanted to be super meaningful like I don’t have

Anything that’s meaningful and I also don’t want to I I can’t pull off on Ronald McDonald’s what do you like maybe you should get a get a Lucas tattoo on your yeah get a tattoo of his tattoo yeah um like his whole body and then it’s just Lucas’s little thing him in

His short shorts I still think alltime wild tattoo is when steo tattooed himself on his back as a back piece yeah that was what I was there’s a there’s a clip it’s huge have you seen it no like ass to shoulders there’s a clip

Where uh Knox I I think it’s in in his like MTV behind the series or something like his recovery story but there’s a clip of him trying to skateboard isn’t that [ __ ] great there’s a clip of him trying to skateboard like right at the height of

His addiction issues and he put on like 1,000 lbs and he was super fat and they were all ripping on the on the tattoo for even gaining weight oh really Jes Christ even the Tattoo’s fat now but even that tattoo like his back tattoo face is bigger than his real face

Imagine just seeing that at the beach like yo that’s a sick steveo tattoo and then you’re like oh [ __ ] that’s actually St right there turns around it’s so detailed too because he thought about autographing it like yeah dude I rock steo [ __ ] Legend he is a legend yeah

If that’s what like heroin and [ __ ] does to you maybe I need to give it a shot he was he wasn’t in a heroin I don’t think it was just a lot of whiet whippets and aerosol cans Coke too he won’t even he won’t even eat whipped cream anymore cuz

The aerosol really dude whipits will [ __ ] your ass up even though it’s only like 30 40 seconds like it’ll light you up I was expecting to see more of that A Grateful Dead cuz that was the year before it was [ __ ] everywhere really I don’t think I saw it once I don’t

Think I saw it last year either it was [ __ ] everywhere just people walking around balloons and [ __ ] yeah it was really weird have you ever ripped it with it no I’d be no I wouldn’t like that I think you would well maybe and that me either here’s my thing I was

Thinking like drugs sound awesome that’s why I don’t do them cuz I would never stop but like that one I don’t like it sounds like it sucks to me it’s biggest if I wouldn’t want to do it um you ever rip like a vape or anything yeah but like times that by

3,000 and that’s what a whip it is but Vapes s a thing after I had a solid 15 18e base of nicotine yeah so whip it will be nothing for you yeah just try don’t talk Dave Dave’s almost are you 35 I am you don’t need to be experimenting

With new drugs yeah I know I figure I’m past that you know what I like what smelling gas I gas is an excellent smell I like that smell I would have a candle of gas M yeah yeah yeah yeah what other one diesel uh fresh cut grass oh fresh

Cut grass in a second ball I love the smell of a fresh beach ball I like new sneakers too if that was a candle that’s a good one what about you any we smells that you really enjoy I mean I laundry laundry is a great smell laundry fresh

Bedding all that kind of stuff mirp likea yeah we had we did a smells draft I’m trying to think of what else I drafted on that Chlor form I think I had leaves burning oh yeah I like that smell too that one’s it’s got to be from like distance though

That I think I literally said that in the draft I like when people are barbecuing and you can smell it big fan of that I was walking the dog last night I caught some a a waft of somebody grilling something like I got to fire up the smoker like it’s just it’s

Contagious it’s contagious speaking of fires and campfires and great smells fellas solo stove oh solo stove uh this is like the fire the Fireside hack almost because it gets rid of all the smoke so you get you get the smell you you get the warmth you get that feeling

They focus enough on the aspect that I like about it the most what’s that you don’t have to douse it with water and get everything like the Embers okay like because it has the ability to get choked out y you could choke the fire out you

Can reuse some of that wood you can do you can’t do that in a regular no you’re right that’s a good call you got to figure out what you’re going to do with all the ashes and how much how much acid can you really put in your flower bed

True there’s a finite amount whatever that amount may be CH if I’m going to someone’s house and they’re having like a fire I make sure I’m conscious of what clothes I’m going to wear cuz I know I can’t wear them the next two weeks going

To W A B and where you’re sitting around that fire like sometimes you’re just like well you it’s like musical chairs yeah or it’s like the three good sides are taken so I’m just going to stand somewhere else take Embers to the face no usually go to your kid’s girlfriend

Or wife got to sit directly into the smoke they’re too polite to be like oh that’s like the modern putting your jacket in a puddle and now they now they have these ones that are ceramic they also have these uh add-ons so you can have like a cast iron skillet like you

Day like that’s enough for us to get back outside but you’re going to get a little chili out there so you want to fire up that solo stove and that’s that is right around the corner so make sure you’re doing that and it makes a great gift too like everyone everyone loves I

Think that’s like just so Primal everyone loves fire yes yeah I love fire fire is awesome it is when last time you played with fire traps oh so in order to light um I didn’t have a solo stove my buddy didn’t have a solo stove and so we

Were lighting this wood that was really wet so it wouldn’t work that great and so I have a blow torch that I got that attaches to um like a little small propane thing like the little kerosene lit that thing on fire it took like 10 minutes bet you felt really [ __ ]

Manly and he was like it’s not going to work dude trust me I I’ve lived here forever I was like it’s going to work enough fire will dry anything so help me God and so let’s run that experiment I did it yeah it was fun can we go back to

Smells for a second sure I think the greatest smell taste combination from when you’re a child is brand new hose water people don’t know about smells and it tastes so good if you could have body armor should come up with a flavor that is W water straight from the hose yeah garden

Hose tell me if you’re from Florida you at the just drinking straight from the yeah like we’ play football outside we Sprint to the side of the house have the green little do you guys think the South invented drinking out of hoses we think the South invented 100 degree days yes

It every day you guys don’t don’t even don’t even we appreciate the H drinking more than anybody because we don’t get to do it often drinking out of a hose is one of life’s great Pleasures it’s a more of a pleasure when it’s over a hundred and you’ve been playing sports

For a long time it’s not even daily and then you might have we have now we we have some of those days a year where it’s pretty hot like gets I think last year it touched like 95 here so it does get hot but that’s like a 3-day period

I’m talking San Antonio hot we’re over a 100 starting in May and doesn’t end until October yeah you’re you’re seeing mirages and that’s that’s [ __ ] drink from the [ __ ] hose weather sometimes I just stand in a corner and wait for the oscillating sprinkler to hit my mouth

Yeah yeah like don’t move don’t expend any energy chaps we were actually talking about uh shower farts the other day how awful they are they’re always so bad and I remember you went on dog walk you’re talking about um when you first start training dogs they they have to

Smell underwater at first for some reason because it’s so no they can they can smell on top of the water okay is there I thought you had some sort of scientific explanation for why our fart smells so much worse in the shower Maybe I’m Wrong well one because steam like

Think about if you have a nebulizer which creates steam so if you have the steam that opens up your senses even more so than you normally wood you’re in a condensed box with the shower it’s going hot so you have the steam that’s going it opens up your lungs it opens up

Your your nose so then all those they come at one time like you get all those smells in a condensed place that also anytime that you have a high humidity place it’s also going to stink more yeah interesting now so I was thinking of was something about just like farts and

Water oh yeah that but like it farting in the tub little bubbles I’ve definitely farted in a lake and I don’t feel like I got that same effect oh because you’re not in ained area yeah that and I think the temperature is probably lower too yeah

Yeah so it’s not just the water the condensed Lake right cuz it doesn’t get over 60 right or 70 probably not over not yeah it probably can but rare yeah yeah I mean taking a taking in a shower far is just like you’re you’re probably puking within 3 seconds it’s too much

You’re too stimulated the shower’s on you got music playing you just farted now you got to puke it’s too much dude yeah hung over on top of it what you say you play music in the shower always sometimes yeah I do I’m weird like the first thing I do when I wake up

Is play music like I like that’s how I get through my routine if I do laer I play music like I played music 24/7 say music is the only thing that gets every part of your brain working is that right yeah I love singing in the shower too

Same even though I can’t sing I love singing oh me you just put on instrumentals and try sing rap over it in the shower no I like I like old [ __ ] like I’ll put Whitney Houston on cuz it gets me going if I’m shaving my head oh I want to dance with

Somebody I want to feel the heat somebody that gets me going Michael Bolton Michael Bolton got me going so much I ordered four of his vinyl albums I’m shocked he has four albums my wife was like you got a couple records that showed up and I opened them in

Front of her and she was like what the [ __ ] is wrong with you is everything all right she like you just spent over $100 on Michael Bolton vinyls I’m going through something babe is only got one song right When a Man Loves a Woman yeah I can’t believe he’s got four

Soccer had nothing to do with that you just like hang out with the fellas yeah the fellas were great everyone was pulling from like it was I owe you an apology by the way I wasn’t familiar with your game what are you what are you talking about I didn’t think Dave was

The guy that’s ordering shots for the table the whole time now like that that set the [ __ ] tone and I was loving it it was like 7:30 he like yeah we need a round of JL right now let’s get that going right now 7:30 a.m. yes yeah 7:30

A.m. it was electric I love it that is smokes that is he’s shots guy I love that I used to be the hardest go out guy the pandemic was what changed that for me or maturity and that and I realized how awesome it is not doing anything

Ever yeah really see I can’t do that my whole plan this weekend or last weekend I should say I was like I’m not going out Saturday I’m not going out Saturday and just sitting there doing nothing drove me crazy and then I ended up I

Used to be the exact same way until you literally weren’t allowed to go out and then I just got used to not going out and it I haven’t really changed back so I basically need another pandemic like when I was up until I was 30 I was like

Uh Tuesday through yeah you’re a wild man really oh yeah oh yeah when are you going Hony toning again um we don’t have a Nashville trip we’re we are the boys are going to Arizona um for a few days at the end of this month so desert

Drinking yeah that’ll get you right I feel like we didn’t really go too wild last time there though it was more like we just we just we kind of just circled around the solo Stu yeah yeah stayed at the Airbnb just drank it drank at the uh

At the place see that’s my ideal vacation when I was on my 40th me and my buddy we went to a cabin in Maine and we just stayed at like stayed there there was a river that was behind the cabin there was nobody within probably legitimately like a mile of us and we

Just sat there we went before we went out there we got a ton of beer we got a ton of food we put it down and we didn’t leave at all so that my favorite Bach party I’ve ever been to with my cousins and same thing it was like down

Somewhere in Illinois I don’t even remember where it was I was probably 2122 we probably had 10 guys that’s all we did and it’s the chillest Vib and I bet you have we had a great time you have more great memories from that trip than one where you’re going to like

Vegas and being tot and like I I felt like even though I I would drank way more in that setting than I would if I was going out to Vegas or something just cuz like financially couldn’t pull it I felt like refreshed after but it’s slow

Drinking like you don’t have to go when you’re when you go out I feel like you’re slamming yeah you have to you’re not taking it slow if you’re on the couch with the boys and you’re just sitting on the porch you’re sipping a beer a lot slower you’re still hanging

Out you’re barbecuing doing all that [ __ ] and it’s just a Chill Spot man like the older I get that’s what I want to do more I will say on that trip I so I had I used to dip all the time when I was

Like 17 181 19 and then I stopped and so now I was like I was probably 22 or 23 at that pater party and all the all the fellas were throwing lips in so I did one and big one had to like got to spin

So bad that I had to literally like I was laying down just looking at the stars took it out then I’m like all right I’m starting to feel better stood up instantly just puked everywhere and it was just I had that happen to me in

High school we had a a seven on seven tournament and like my coach obviously like every High School coach in the country they all dip so we just went to this Buffet this dog sh Buffet whatever so we get back to the hotel room and I’m

Like [ __ ] it like let me try this so I throw the dip in and the first 10 minutes I’m like yo this is awesome I feel like I just drank a whole bottle of sarra and then I had one of my offensive linemen just jump on my stomach and I

Just felt I swallowed the dip spit and within 10 seconds I’m sprinting to the bathroom I didn’t even make it to the toilet I threw up in the sink and I had to sit there and scoop out all my throw up with a coffee cup and throw it into

The into the toilet and after I was like I’m not di I see I wish that would have happened to me the first time dipped cuz I probably would have never dipped again oh you just you have the face of a Dipper yeah yeah you do yeah like if I

Met you on the street get that out of my face if he came up to me in the middle of the street be like do you think i’ dip my immediate answers yeah you have one in right now yeah I I like the pouches I don’t like the long cut it

Just like floats around in your teeth all day it’s [ __ ] gross stop that dve it’s disgusting it’s not floating around anywhere it’s packed completely tight alltime gross moment you accidentally drink somebody’s dip spit that that was that hasn’t happened to me I’ve done that a few times Dave spitter wasn’t an

Accident has been like a hazard in our office for the whole time we’ve been working together no one’s ever T drank it though but it’s been knocked over like a Russian rouette of coffee cups around legal to do it in what you’re drinking in at parties with the boys

Correct has to be clear clear container Bott to be clear yeah is [ __ ] yeah that’s a beer beard can all of that dude since the invention of uh I don’t do that I don’t I won’t I don’t need to go out with dip anymore right so

I’m not spitting when I go out so the hazard is lessened I’ve I’ve drank like ash water before like when I like ash a joint and actually drank it but dip spit like like what goes through your head when you drink not your dip spit but

Someone else’s I feel like I’d have a mental not only is another man’s spit but it’s disgusting it’s like motor oil yeah for me it’s suicide that’s what I think I uh first say who else saw that then it’s contemplating thoughts of death yeah yeah that shit’s terrible but no uh we

Were talking about bachor party stuff before Chief Eddie and I we had a clip that gained some traction where it’s like go to bachelor party girls are thinking what are they doing are they clubbing going to uh strip clubs like dude we’ve been playing pool basketball the past five hours yeah pool basketball

Is one of the most dangerous sports on planet Earth and no one talks about that’s violent it always violent there should be mandated referees even for like a bachor party I remember playing I was probably 177 and we were doing I have a brother who’s 10 years younger

Than me so it was my brother who was 78 and my dad against me to make it more fair my dad in pool basketball literally stepped on the back of my head while I was on the bottom of the pool and like smashed my face it like intentionally

Like he did it intentionally that’s within the rules I bet your mom was happy I don’t know if she ever found out about no uh no fouls underwat you got to just get up wipe the blood off your nose and get back after it was like pool basketball makes like

The bad boy Pistons look like [ __ ] yes that it is it is the most violent game if you’re not trudging through a p of a pool of blood after you weren’t playing they should make that an Olympic sport they kind did water polo yeah but like they’re actual athletes no but

They’re also like I think it’s one of the hardest SPS I would sink like a stone within the first two minutes you can’t be touching the ground right they so you need like you need to be able to touch the ground I think for pool basketball you got to be able to like

The water polo yeah [ __ ] those that’s a hard sport to play if they’re trying to make three onree basketball thing in the Olympics like they should just n just make it pool make it pool basketball yes that would be sick I also think three on three basketball would be cool but you’d

Also have to like change Who You’d pick like I I don’t know if I’d go with LeBron James in pool basketball I would go with like a stocky wrestler or like a like a fighter or some want somebody stock you because they’re going to be they’re more likely to sink well I want

Someone that’s good at like head somebody that’s a little bit of a fat so well first what would you make the regulation rim size like how tall is that it matters I think it’s got to be something that most people could dolphin out of the water be a little do you want

It to be something most people could dunk on you have to be able to dunk like I feel like so like LeBron would be great they have they have the plastic backboards that you fill with water that are like if this is the pool like the

Hoops like here at that point you can’t you can’t begin any small Guys small just not you might you might need to have like a rule where it’s like if you’re over 66 you can only play defense yeah you need a weight limit per team

Has to all be can’t be over this way yeah you know what would be sweet here if on the Friday runs if once a month we lowered the rims to 8T are we I would love that like would we or a barstol sports Dunk Contest would be incredible

Yes dude I think we should do all sorts of [ __ ] like that during March Madness for live streams like we should we should have like a knockout tournament for Monday you know what my idea was I told big cat I think we’re going to do it is that whenever we have the

Selection you know one versus 16 or whatever I think that we should get a bunch of different jerseys and if it let’s say Purdue gets a one seed and then you have like Mount St Mary’s from Texas like a small little school that’s the 16 I think you should have Mark

Titus and two of the other like best basketball players in the office go against like me and Mad Dog and spider that be hilarious so you could see like we’ll play like 10 or 15 minutes and you bet this spread if they beat us [ __ ] by 20 then the over or under that’s

Awesome right I like that Titus big hat and myself love no problem playing you I just use myself easy easy I would love like a five on five eight Court Rim game and we’re just like throwing lobs to each other like we’re LeBron and dwade in our Prime that would be amazing

That’s that’s pool ball Vibe right there yes Harlem glob I mean can you imagine dunking on somebody else in the office you never live it down never never like if you come up to moo and you’re just like [ __ ] boo who who’s the number one person you’d want to dunk on oh

Dan 100% I mean you dunk on Dan like a nasty dunk like nut like almost in your space I would go Brandon Walker actually CU he’ have the biggest meltdown ever he’d be pissed if dunked on him too I don’t think Brandon Walker would get on

The court oh he would cuz I mean he’d be able to dunk like that I think he would he never wants to play anything he never like he’s also 65 I think he’s like my age no he’s older than me 45 are you Ser I thought

He was 40 no he’s older than me I think he’s older than bigat too he’s the oldest guy in the office thought you thought Brandon Walker was 39 no I mean like relatively I’m I’m going to be 38 in a few months so he’s definitely

Closer to 50 yeah yeah he is he’s 45 on pretty sure Oh I thought he was I thought he was 40 I can’t wait for that to be a clip Brandon Walker’s almost 50 I Brandon walk were like that Chief just called him 37 we should be pretty

Close to DP 50 right because when I think yeah it’s around like a year or two after I started was DP 40 so I think it would be por no 50 coming up dang I wonder if Clen will go too what you go the first one oh yeah okay yeah because

I can’t wait to have sex one day that’s going to be so sick I’m looking forward to that for you Dan yeah yeah absent by accident but it is it is Super Bowl week maybe we should talk about that a little bit smokes you said what do you what do

You have going here so I bet the Niners to win the Super Bowl week four I got him at plus 500 and then I have I bet Christian mcaffry to win Super Bowl MVP before the playoffs started at plus a th000 so I’m all over the Niners are you

Hedging um are you a well here’s the thing so I did get like bonus bet and it’s 100 bucks so if I put that on the chief’s money line I’ll either lose no money or I’ll cash out a thousand so I think I’m just going to

Put that Free Bet on the Chiefs and then free roll the Super Bowl yeah [ __ ] yeah so I’m going to run with that are are you typically a hedger no never I hate hedging no and anytime I hedge I lose anytime I hedge my parlay wins and then

Anytime I don’t hedge my parlay loses so it’s like [ __ ] it like I’m never hedging I’m not even thinking about it anymore but if I was ever in that situation where it’s five to win 600,000 and my cash out would be 300 racks I’m conservative I’m taking the 300 oh

Without a doubt yeah like anyone who’s like oh you’re a [ __ ] you hedge it’s like brother that’s $300,000 [ __ ] dollars guaranteed cash no I’m not sweating out a 4-Hour [ __ ] football game for an extra 200,000 like give me that 300,000 now you do that if you’re

Poro yes if you got [ __ ] you money you don’t need it if I had 300 Interac in my bank account right now my life would change overnight yeah like I would get i’ get extra guac double chicken like uber e like I wouldn’t give a [ __ ] yeah

Now when you guys in September were you guys each confident that your team would have a shot confident I I bet us to go to the [ __ ] Super Bowl after week I mean what I’ve realized is is the Miami Dolphins will give me the same story every single year and every single year

I watch it I think the ending is going to be different and it’s not but even even so even if they added the best players in the [ __ ] world on this team as long as Patrick Mahomes is playing quarterback anyone in the AFC has no chance and I’m coming to terms

With that I don’t care I went through Tom Brady I’m going through Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes at the same time and burrow it’s crazy that those other two guys on the list are also like we’re just never going to beat Mahomes yeah exactly I mean burrow I think did beat

Mahomes once yeah once yeah but still at the same time and look I like he finish the job like he didn’t get the Super Bowl like who cares and I like Tu I think Tua is a good quarterback but Patrick Mahomes is literally the greatest quarterback I’ve ever seen now

Brady’s the goat because he’s got seven rings Aaron Rogers I think had more arm Talent than Brady did but Patrick Mahomes just has them both beat he is [ __ ] he’s got Rings right now he’s got the talent he’s got the legs he’s got the crazy arm angles he’s got

Everything and he’s nails with the game on nails like this whole Year everyone the cheese [ __ ] suck and then they get to the playoffs and he just turns into [ __ ] beast mode and I do feel like he just it’s like playoffs he he doesn’t really run during the regular

Season playoffs he’s like oh it’s third and seven I’m I’ll use my like he just he waits all year to unleash like that extra little Little Weapon so yeah I I just I I can’t bet against like as long as he’s playing I don’t think the

Dolphins can win to Super the first step is accepting it and it doesn’t even matter if they’re if they don’t have home field they just ran through everyone’s [ __ ] houses or if you took his best wide receiver yeah doesn’t matter yeah already won that Super Bowl and then they didn’t even replace them

Multiple times I think this year is Mom’s year like M Brady’s year whenever he had Dion Branch as the best wide receiver option super MVP though he was pretty good but that but he was not he went to Seattle and he trash like trash again I think that this could be that

Year for Mahomes because there’s nobody on the team except for Travis Kelce that you’re like oh that guy’s a top 15 Talent Kelsey had a quote unquote like off year this year like he he was playing very badly until that last game they just had where he went 11 for 11

But he was dropping the ball like crazy and they were still winning games cuz he’s I mean Mahomes is just that good I think how old is Mahomes 27 28 something like he’s still so young man he could pass Brady I think they I don’t think he

Brady I think is an outlier where he’s not gonna like I would he’s 28 he’ll be 29 when next season starts I can’t imagine he’s got 15 more years in him I think he does just the way the league structured now he might not even I don’t

Think he’ll need to have that many more years or whatever they’re going to have to turn over the whole roster 28 I think if you put they’re gonna have to turn over the whole Ro like Brady with the Patriots they turned over that like he

Won how many he won six of the Patriots right yeah the the first the first three were like a group of guys they got rid of everybody then they had like their undefeated year where they didn’t win it and the year they went to the Giants they got basically turned over that

Whole roster again by the time that they were winning in 14 and right where the Falcons and then the Rams one like they they had he had like three different eras in that team where they like turning over a roster and still staying awesome is like basically that’s what

They’re kind of doing right now kind of but like they’re going to they’re probably going to penko like Mahomes might not even need 15 years though he might might only need another three or four years if you give him five rings I think you have to just put him over

Brady I think so too I think so too definely but I I do think there is something also you can this kind of helps mahomes’s argument in a way who was B I guess he had Payton and Roth as Burger as his and Rogers but like rers

In the division yeah I mean fla was kind of cold at one Rivers Phillip yeah yeah I gu to me it was really just pton though that’s it yeah but [ __ ] on pton Manning pton got him a couple times in the regular season no he got him in the

AFC Championship yeah he got him whenever the oh yeah the Denver year yeah yeah that’s true but that year what I’m a firm believer that year that Denver won with pton pton is the was the worst quarterback ever to win a Super Bowl yeah well his arm was like bar

Because his it was his neck remember if they didn’t have that loadest loaded ass defense going Von Miller I just saw the uh clip of Stu calling into uh Colin coward Colin coward being saw that basically begging people to take the Broncos like you don’t need the points take a money line

Like you never get the number one defense getting points like this is free and like everything Stu said on that call came true I was like well I guess maybe Stu knows what he’s what he’s doing here um but yeah I don’t know so do you feel do you feel further away

From a Super Bowl now than you did in September brother all right so that’s what I’m trying that’s what I’m trying to get to because you obviously yes you say yes right yep are the Bears closer to a Super Bowl than these two teams because it’s like you have to

Sink all the way to the bottom of the pool before you can push yourself back up or you guys might be in like the sinking phase I could start I mean look considering you guys are in the NFC and you really don’t have any good quarterbacks there that’s huge and if

You guys do the right thing and draft Caleb Williams a guy who could come in and be a top five quarterback after maybe four or five weeks in the regular season the defense started to pick up for you guys in Chicago I think the the path to the Super Bowl is way easier

Than for me and chap I don’t even think that’s a debate I think for the Jags and now you got Herbert with Harbaugh too yeah I forgot about Herbert I think the Jags are going to struggle if when Trevor gets that 350 400 million contract yeah he is absolutely Shad loves him he’ll

Definitely get it I don’t think he he has not lived up to that number one pick no he hasn’t I don’t think that matters though but no one talks about like he does not get dragged as much as any other number one pick because he’s in Jacksonville dude imagine exactly why

Imagine think about how bad the Jags were before number one overall pick two years in a row except for 2016 they’re picking there’s two years that they didn’t pick inside the top five that’s crazy like a decade like and they know Justin Blackman was like number seven

But they are top 10 all the time now Trevor has them where you have a lead even though they collapsed they went to the playoffs last year when they weren’t supposed to I I don’t I’m a firm believer now except for Patrick Mahomes and maybe Josh Allen if you don’t win

When you’re on your rookie contract it’s going to be exponentially more difficult if you’re if you’re paying $6 million you have the ability to have 32 million more and some more now to put to other teams that get you a good number two wide receiver it get you a great

Linebacker all at the same time you lose that you lose that’s what happened with the Chiefs y they didn’t have you don’t have the money for everybody right I also think that that is probably the best argument for trading Fields you just have to restart that clock and it’s

Like you got fiveyear clock this years with the and maybe all the fields people are right they might maybe he turns into like a a better version that what we’ve seen But then you’re just going to have to pay him in a year yeah and it’s like well and then you’re only

Going to be you’re just going to pay him off that one year too right so it’s like all right had everything loaded around him theoretically cuz if Fields goes for 25 passing touchdowns six rushing touchdowns and let’s say 10 interceptions you like oh [ __ ] that might 3540 million a year whereas if you

Draft Williams he’s on a rookie deal he might he might double that 7 800,000 right especially if you whenever that happens if like let’s say you get Caleb Williams you trade your other pick for another DJ Moore type player like a really good player that’s up and coming

You have those guys I think you’re in the same position as Stout like Stout came in and by and large terrible team but once you start a quarterback that can play it’s a different game y I mean that that team they got a new coach new quarterback and they you know got

Drafted Will Anderson third transform their defense and it’s like they were good overnight and it’s like you look at the Bears the quarterback is a problem but they have two top 10 picks this year they have Co K’s good Cole K’s good they’re probably going to be able to get

A shefer said yesterday the Bears would get a second round pick for Fields so if that’s Atlanta that would be 43 like it you could have a situation where you have three to four new starters on your team just from this draft and it’s like all

Right well let’s [ __ ] now it’s like time to go I do if I I think the Bears will [ __ ] it up I don’t like the head coach but it’s like you can kind of make an argument that they are in a better position than two teams who are further

Along on the rebuild pth I I agree I feel like the Dolphins are kind of stuck yeah I mean we had a three- game lead with five weeks left and we still couldn’t get it done same with my beloved Jacks yeah yeah yeah we were both at one point talking about playing

Each other in the AFC Championship yeah we were like damn man we’re going to get a first round bu both of us and then the next thing you know wanted to kill myself gone fishing it was just so terrible man and when you have you guys

Know double doink like when you have one of those terrible end of the season there’s so many years from like 2012 2014 I don’t remember any specific moments about that I will always remember 2023 because of the collapse and that’s how I feel with this year too

Because I haven’t seen the Dolphins win the division since ‘ 08 and I haven’t seen them win a playoff game my entire life so at least this year if they would have won the division in 08 I was 8 years old I went to the game and we lost

27 to9 to ball tomorrow I forget it um but yeah I just remember like if we would at least won the division like all right we’re winning the division now you know like Buffalo is good but hey we beat them in the division we lost it to the Chiefs in Arrowhead like whatever

But we choked the division and then got stampeded in [ __ ] Kansas City and it was kind of just like here we go again like we’re just stuck in this mediocracy it sucks yep well all right fellas that was a depressing way to end Bri well enjoy the weekend thanks for coming

Mid the midf free the midf free uh at hellofresh.com so Dave’s on it I’m on it we’re all going to be on it you should be on it too what else you want to talk about today David uh you tell me I went to a Bulls game last night first any amount

Of live NBA basketball I’ve consumed in a handful of years and it was pretty fun Kobe white all of a sudden overnight he turned into a freak nice player he might a guy might guy he might be a guy he had what like I don’t know if he had he

Scored prior to halftime yesterday and then he went off like maybe had like nine points he ended the game with like 34 36 Lance how much of a guy he did not have N I know for a fact it was I thought he was scoreless he might have

Had a bucket maybe yeah he he wasn’t that hot in the beginning what do you mean by Guy Lance because I look at him and I still think of a guy who could be like the third option on a good team cuz if you put him on any of like the top

Like you put him on that Timberwolves team he’s not starting he’s not starting no he’s starting two Center he would be he would be a great guard for them to shoot the three and I feel like he would be a perfect guy with Anthony Edwards yeah absolutely because they’re both

Kind of combo guards um but like he’s the third option on that team it’s cat and Anthony and then him would you agree with that Lance yeah I think it’s it would be tight between cat and uh Kobe just because Kobe he he was attacking the rack really hot yesterday and he is

Lights out for three he hit seven threes yesterday it’s crazy so you could say that hey if if they’re big in the post you know let’s just kick it out to Kobe let him shoot you know and let’s let cat and R Rudy go bear get rebounds but yeah

I’ve been very impressed with Kobe white this whole season uh he’s he’s looked really good yeah it does feel like you know once Zach LaVine kind of got out of the way Kobe took that next step in his development but it does I I still don’t

See a way out for that team no Kobe’s just one of the guys you can maybe keep because he’s young and he’s up and coming everybody else you kind of have to tear it down dear he’s my favorite player he might not have it too much

Anymore he’s he looks kind of cooked V that that this whole era just didn’t really work it but and also at the same time with Kobe he might be the only guy with genuine trade value yeah probably so if you if you are looking to start a

Rebuild you the only the only player someone’s calling about it’s unfortunate because they they hired uh this this current front office right it was a a little prior to the start of the White Sox rebuild and I was like man I really think Jerry rinor might have like had a

Come to Jesus moment and and and figured out that yo I got to start winning for these two or and it couldn’t have been further from the truth this will go down and mind you like prior to Derrick Rose’s knee not working and just him his NBA career going just falling off a

Cliff I didn’t miss a Bulls game yeah I this is the most forgetful era of a team in Chicago I can ever remember yeah this is just a nothing they’re an anonymous anous ratings are way down but I do you know you look around and it’s like it’s

So like if they had kept Lori and they were just like we’re still staying on this rebuild track they just they just haven’t been good at drafting either yeah like you look at guys who were picked behind um you know where they pick so the Bulls in in

18 uh they took Wendell Carter like sgaa went 11 you know and it’s like they were kind of it’s not like they were looking at Wendell Carter as like hey like he’s the last piece of puzzle they really should have just been in best player available I’d agree and then you know

They have Kobe white the next year but like the Patrick Williams could have been theres halberton like they they just haven’t that’s the part to me like I don’t blame them necessarily for going for it with that core of get let’s get vu in let’s you know and that would be

The wend Carter trade but like you get vu in get toar in Pay LaVine because he’s looking like he he’s Lonzo he’s wildly talented he’s just a [ __ ] dick it seems like and then Lonzo I don’t and like and that was that team was fun for three

Months I don’t blame them for that but like Patrick Williams are like he that’s kind of a Miss at this point uh took Kobe w we a while to get going like they’re just I don’t know it just seems like that’s it’s very clear at this

Point it has not it’s not going to work yeah so you’re have to start all over why like why is it with Chicago sports that it never seems like any of our organizations have a plan B cuz nothing can ever go according to plan especially in the world of professional sports the

Only they have no contingency plans it’s like they they’ve tried writing this out for the last two three years and you’re talking about ratings like eventually a casual fan like myself for instance is going to just be like I can’t like I don’t care to watch this there’s just

Nothing likable about them Kobe White’s probably the only likable thing about this team I mean dear’s a likable guy yeah but but like I don’t know you probably wouldn’t have like an emotional connection to him at all I don’t have a no that’s the thing I don’t have an

Emotional connection to anything or anybody in that organization whatsoever the only team that has a shot at it is the Hawks where it’s like they are bad but they were bad and they got they got themselves Bedard they’re going to have a top three pick again this year which

Could be hopefully it’s that Macklin celebrating who is like a Jonathan Taves yep two point off I’ve been I’ve been and then you’re kind of ready to press go and I think you can even look at the league is hoping for that scenario to a degree too where the Hawks are close to

Being ready to press go because they just gave the winter CL classic to the Hawks and Wrigley Field for 2025 so there that was that was the first like coming out party for the old era they played at Wrigley against Detroit I remember that game rival I was there it

Was I’ve been to all the outdoor ones involved in the Hawks in in the area that was the best one by far and uh so yeah I don’t know I’m excited I’m hopeful for that but it’s like I do also fear like it’s so easy to [ __ ] this up

Like this is such a big summer for them to they got to they’re going to have to pay vasic they’re going to have to you know I think they’re going to have to spend at least some to get better players around Bart so he can develop

Properly and I I’m not sure it’s hard to get a read on what the organization wants to do because they they resigned all these guys so it’s like are you trying to build a culture who’s got which of their college prospects are going to start popping and coming up

Like Frankie nars look really good but it does feel still like 2025 for that winter classic might be too soon for them to be like actually relevant it’s like I’m just I’m I’m desperate for them to relevant cuz there’s like nothing going on in this town there’s nothing no

The entire time we’ve worked here we haven’t had a good team fulltime yeah uh double dink was our first day the socks W playoff run one one yeah where they lost in the first round yeah they won one game yeah so it’s it’s bad it’s it’s bad bad bad I

Um that was the General sentiment at the United Center 2o cuz you’re walking on the stadium the Bulls did have a nice comeback not that it how was the crowd I noticed when we were walking out just kind of Eve dropping on conversations like people were excited about the win

But it’s they know it does that win means nothing in the end you know because the over the overarching theme in that building specifically is that these organizations are just awful yeah and there there’s no lightel it would be nice to get excited for a win when you

Came back against one of the best teams in in in your in your league in conference 22 points at H halftime I think it was like but it wasn’t that it was like oh nice now it’s like we’re going to lose four or five you know yep

And the Cubs haven’t really made any big moves white socks haven’t done [ __ ] the white socks aren’t allowed to do [ __ ] um I have convers ation with people like and that’s the thing like I used to mine for info regarding the white socks I wanted to know what they were thinking

Who they were doing I would talk to people I shouldn’t be talking to they’d be giving me info they shouldn’t be giving me now I just don’t even care because I know I’m staring down the barrel of a 100 loss season yeah but I have been told by many people that they

Are literally not allowed to spend money they’re they can fill out the roster you know cheap one-year deals with plug-and-play guys and that is it the only multi-year deal they gave out this year was Eric fedi and that was a two-year deal in the second year as a

Player option or whatever so then why not why not actually blow it up for real and trade Robert and CE and just [ __ ] well CE CE is out the door um people are white socks fans are freaking out about the Corbin burn trade to uh to um Baltimore because they think that takes

Baltimore out of the running to acquire Seas I don’t think it does at all they still need pitching that’s still a that’s still a arms race in the East between um all all all every team in the East you got you know Toronto still trying to win even though I think they

Kind of blew their wad down their leg Boston I think they’re going to suck but it’s Boston they’re trying to win the Yankees obviously are are full steam ahead and and the rays are the Rays so and I do think that um Baltimore’s pitching staff is still super thin to

The point where they will eventually come to a deal with um the white socks on Seas that’s just what I say but it like the I would not be surprised if the White Sox are like have multiple free agents on standby just waiting for CE to be

Dealt because they got to clear his money off the books I mean after he’s going to make I think 85 this year um whatever his number is it’s an ARB number but um what one it’s only him andata ELO and and Robert that are making anything of significance this

Year and they’re still they have to clear him off just to sign other players which is it’s so backwards to me because the owner looked Us in the face and said I’m hiring Chris guts because we need to turn this thing around as fast as we can

I owe it to the fans to put a winner out there he’s literally and I’m not saying this like factiously he’s literally not allowed to spend money yeah he’s over budget right now per multiple people that I’ve talked to in the Baseball World the white socks are a laughing

Stock in that regard amongst many regards but they’re literally not allowed to spend money yep say the story is old as time so it’s old as time and I’m not talking about like significant money I’m talking about any money any money any money it it just

It makes it’s so it’s like I want to get excited so this is what I’m going to start doing this year like I’m I my ban for the white socks is still in existence like I stopped going to games after July or I don’t think I’m I think

I went to like seven games last year MH five of them in the first half of for the season Y and that was like a I’m making a stance I’m not giving them my money move I’m not I would never tell anybody not to go to games because I

Wouldn’t want someone telling me how to be a fan be a fan or spend my money I’m just saying I’m not doing that yep um but but like this year I’ll go to games just cuz I miss my friends there like I’m just going to go in one day with uh

Myck summer we’re just going to get as high as we humanly possibly can like I’m talking Pablo Escobar amounts of of marijuana going into our systems just consume a baseball game that way just on Mars yeah sounds like a decent time might have to wake up tomorrow or the

Next day and like look up the box score to see if they won or lost because I won’t know but that’s like the kind of stuff I’m going to be looking forward to I’ll be bring Chuck NES out there to like document it and stuff great but nothing about the actual team itself

Right it’ll just be like that’s the setting all right well look forward to that we’ll call that a show uh and we’ll see you guys next next week I I do want to uh give you some congratulatory words um for finally coming around on on not necessarily

Caleb Williams more just the first pick taking a quarterback whoever they deem is the best quarterback I’m sure it’s going to be Williams it took you a while but you got there it’s about time I think cuz I’m always hopeful and I I want it to be Fields because he seems

Like a nice guy and and like I think he is working hard it’s not like he’s a [ __ ] no and it’s just it just doesn’t it’s just time to go but I but it is on that note it’s time to go that’s the show thanks for listening

We’ll see you next week I’m very excited to put that to bed finally that’s the Show
