No. No. You you right, though. I'm I'm, you know, we have been we have been, you know, going up. And some Mai Tai's.

We've been all over the place, man. We've been all over the place, man. We had the had the Kansas City trip, and we had got back from Hawaii on Saturday. So I know it's been a rough life. You're jet lag free, though, right now.

Man, I'm I'm feeling much better off from that jet lag when we got back, bro. It was crazy. Yeah. And, bro, now you went from, shorts and tank top to long sleeves. Hoodies and wool and wool jackets on the inside and thermals and all kind of shit.

I like it. Well, I like your stuff. I was saying, I like jackets. You know? I look, man.

I got a fucking bitchin' ass peacoat I've been dying to wear. Gotta pull my peacoat back out. That's what you're saying. Bro, because, like, most people gotta pick and choose between hot and cold. Right.

I'm one of those people that, like, I feel like when I when it's in the summertime, I want it to be colder. And when I when it's temperature, I want it to be summertime. I always say to myself, like, in July, I'm like, when people complain, I go, think about this moment. Okay? More heavy.

I mean, what it's like That's what I say. Yeah. I'm like, you will yeah. You want it to be cold. Like, you're gonna be so tired of sweating.

Yeah. I mean, I tell people whenever we get to the middle of the summer and at 9:30 at night, it's 98 degrees, you're gonna be wondering or wishing for it to be where it was in January, February. Like, 50 at least or, you know, whatever. Or maximum. Yeah.

So that's a so, like, Victoria's both her parents were in the navy, her dad. So I actually have his legit naval peacoat, not like the stuff. Got a, like, thick joint. You got a real official That's all I need to wear. You got real official shit.

That is some US military grade. Like, yes. That's what I'm about to say. You got the official top of the line shit. I've only gotten to wear it, like, 3 or 4 times because this just hasn't gotten cold enough.

Yeah. So you don't need to pull it out. To rock it. Because yeah. Also, you know, it's, like, from my car to the apartment Mhmm.

There's only so many feet. So I want it to be cold for half a second Right. From my side. Whatever. That's crazy, bro.

Like, I can't believe you got a fucking military grade I did. I'll bring that to you. Sorry, man. That's crazy. Jesus Christ.

I wanna see that joint. It's insanely heavy. Yeah. But it's I mean, it looks good. People think it's like I always thought picots were like dress coats to me because they look sharp.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like, the long overdoes. Can just kinda be like It could be jeans or black leather. Yeah.

It can even almost be like a little trench type thing. Yeah. Someone goes like, last time I wore it like, oh, you're dressing up. I'm like, it's peacoat. Yeah.

But thank you. Peeko Burp. Very fun. That's a that's a future song I have. Oh, no.

No. They're I had to remember that. Yeah. We okay. It's trademarked.

Today is today is January 7th. Yes. Anybody that wants to sample that, royalty, please. Alright, man. Yeah.

That's facts. Yeah. So Facts. So you had a good New Year. Is this the first show of the New Year?

Yes. It is the first show of 2025, and we We got an interest. What's the name of the show, Trey? It is end zones 2 strike zones. If you do feel like, you might be a little bit of a, I don't know, person who likes to go against the grain and do strike zones to end zones, either way works.

It doesn't matter. It really doesn't matter as long as you find your way here somehow, some way. End up in the zone. If you end up in the zone. Exactly, Wes.

And that is exactly why he's the greatest producer on the planet and the cohost because he can come up with shit like that on a whim. We are we are live right now, and that's That's Like, come on now. Like, what are we talking about? Script. There's no what are we talking about?

So And so a big thing for everybody that's been listening, big thing to all y'all, man. Rants Yeah. Has really I think is the the album. I feel like some of it is probably like my friends because they like to laugh at my rants. They like to give them Dude, it was so good.

And just to recap, Trey just went on oh, it was so beautiful. It was fun. Even more beautiful when we actually get into the the intricate details of college football playoff. Yeah. So what's up?

So if you guys haven't heard, just go back to the last episodes where Trey's dressed in Miami Vice garb. Hi, man. And, no. He doesn't have an afro. Just so you know.

I was I was a little ticked off. It was so good. A little ticked off. Dude, that that's gotten the most plays. I was a little ticked off.

So we've got a huge fight more of your things coming up in 2025, but Oh, man. Let's focus on the now. The now. So let's just get started with some NFL news recap, playoffs getting started this weekend. Obviously, my Dallas cowboys did not make the playoffs.

Neither did my Giants. Nor did nor did your Giants. That was the We will be Commanders represent the NFC East in the playoffs this time around. Yeah. You know, it is what it is, you know.

I think that when it comes to the Cowboys, obviously, us, our fan base being what it is. And it's not even all of us, bro. That's the most annoying part, but every fan base has their their outliers or outliers, however you like to pronounce it. Where you're from? Outlier.

Yeah. But, you know, I just I just we get a lot of flack for stuff, and I get it. But, like, we're not even gonna be in the playoffs, and people are going to continue to make us a topic of conversation, especially with Mike McCarthy's situation right now. Not his extent his contract being up tomorrow, and then the Bears requesting to interview him. And then Jerry Jones saying, I want people that want to be working for the Cowboys, working here.

Yeah. And then Mike McCarthy would like to probably have a job so he can feed his family and take care of his family. But if he goes in interviews for the job, because the Bears requested for it, if he goes in interviews in Jersey, he's gonna be like, oh, well, you didn't wanna be here. And it's like, motherfucker, I'm sure he does if you would give him a contract extension you see now, old man. Yeah.

Isn't it, noncompete clauses? Are those still a thing? Because that sounds like a noncompete. In pro sports, I don't know. I'm not saying about in if this was anywhere else Yeah.

If it's anywhere else, it'd be like, oh, bro. What the fuck? Yeah. Just like, no. I have the right to work.

Yeah. Literally. No. If this is any other industry, it you would be correct. Yeah.

But the fact that the Bears had to put in a and as as of, like, 2 hours ago, Cowboys still haven't respond Jerry still hadn't responded to their request. So you're gonna leave this man out to dry and then also turn down his request and maybe go find other employment, either you keep him or you don't, and allow the man to go work somewhere else. Now you knew you were saying conference. You know what I'm well, we're in the same conference. It's not same division.

Division. It's not like the different but yeah. Different divisions. Yeah. Yeah.

So, like so you get literally. Not even in the same division, bro. You let fucking Dan Quinn go to the coach of the commanders and now they're in the playoffs. What are you what are we doing? Is it the cowboy bump?

You can't make this stuff up, Wes. I mean, I I can't even, like, come on. How long has Jerry Jones been 75? For, like, 20 years now. Bro, he's, like, 83.

I I could've sworn he was a lot older than that. It seems like it with the stupid He's been and like I said, he's been 75, 80 for 20 years. Bro, this that is crazy. Because that is so frustrating. I'm like, do you let Dan Quinn just walk and take some players that played for us last year with him, and you won't let Mike McCarthy go fucking feed his family and take care of his family?

He has principles. Okay. Let me make this stuff up. But, anyway, onto the people that actually matter because now I am Taste. Now I'm becoming what I just said I hated about the NFL and obviously some of the teams that I like.

Look, I think you're just coming from a humanist perspective. Well, I am. But also, I just it pisses me off because that's another thing about me being a fan of the teams I am is that this happens in all in in, you know, the other sports as well. Then we're not even involved in anything going on once the postseason advances or, you know, we don't advance, and everyone is just making it. And it's like, let's focus on the people who actually matter here, such as the charges versus the Texans, Saturday, January 11, 3:30 PM.

It's the Texans yeah. It is wildcard round. Seems the Texans always get that 3:30 Saturday game. They have not the I think they said the last 6 times they made the playoffs, their their playoff game was 3:30 Saturday. I think that's what it was.

I'm gonna look up that stat right now. It's It's like the last 5 or 6, I think. Something like that. And they've always they've had the 3:30 Saturday. Go just go look at their their playoff history and then cross reference it with the dates.

And I'm pretty sure that's right. But I that's what I thought I've scrolled past it. But while you do that, you know, like I said, Chargers, Texas, 3:30, Saturday. The night game of that is gonna be the Steelers and the Ravens. That is going to be a AFC North battle.

That'll be the 3rd time this season that these teams have played. What? Could have looked that up before. Obviously, we're live, but Live ish. Live ish.

Live ish. Well, when I say that, it means that he will really cut episode. Yeah. Yeah. I don't really cut anything out.

Right. Exactly. And I was saying I was right. Do multiple takes. This is all Right.

That's what I'm saying. Yeah. And, also, I was right. They did split this season. So it wasn't just tripping when I said that, guys.

Sorry. Sunday, January 12th, we have the Broncos and the Bills at noon up there in Orchard Park in New York. Bills will be the home team, obviously, like I said, in Orchard Park. And, man, I you know, Josh Allen, you know, he's obviously having an MVP year, could win the MVP. My vote would go to Lamar Jackson again, but, Josh Allen definitely I mean, if not Lamar, I would definitely have to give it to Josh Allen.

So, that will be a tall task for Bo Nix, Sean Payton, and the Broncos. But, hey, this is the NFL. Any given Sunday. Hey, Bo Nix, man. He was my lucky pickup Yeah.

For when Jordan Love Got I had no idea that was gonna play out so much for me. Oh, wait. What are you gonna say? Oh, no. No.

No. Oh, so, so the Texas have only been in the playoffs since for 8 times. Yeah. Each time 3:30. So it's 8, not 6?

Right. So they Damn. So even more than that. That's great. So 2011, 2012 Yes.

Okay. 15, 16, 18, 19, 23, 20. Insane, bro. What the fuck? And they play in a dome.

It's not like they have to do it for weather reasons. None nothing. That's fucking insane. Is it not 5 in the morning. Is that not crazy, bro?

Oh my god. Bro, I was mama's off by That is a very crazy step. You know what I mean? Like, I was just scrolling out the zombies. Found that out.

Bro, people do a lot of, like, point like, not pointless, but a lot of, like, miscellaneous research that we don't wanna do. Yeah. And that is one of those things right now. That's just a cool fact. That's a really cool fact that I scroll I was just scrolling x when I saw it.

And so yeah. And then fuck, I'm so glad you found that, actually. That is crazy. So 8 times, not 6. That's 5 times.

Gotcha. Okay. Shout out to whoever found that stat when I found it. Obviously, West did, but, like Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. What made me even what made me even think about that. Yeah. You know? Okay.

Packers, Eagles, rematch from week 1 in Brazil. Yes. Fucked up, man. Insane. Yeah.

Jordan Love, man. He he has been a he was a clutch fantasy player for me. Jordan Love, dude. He's a fan. And then, they're tight end.

What's his name? Tynion. No. Not Tanya. The other guy.

What was, I saw his name every day for fucking not Kraft. Fuck. Not Tucker Kraft, is it? Yeah. It is Tucker Kraft.

Yeah. Solid solid fucking Yeah. Tight end. For sure. Just it couldn't go wrong.

Yes, sir. Anyway, so yeah. Fucking Brazil, man. What what the fuck are we doing? Like, I get it.

It's a global sport. No. I mean yeah. Like, Brazil literally is just not American football. It's just they it is a pure soccer country.

Honestly. I don't even know how they got fans there. I I I don't know either. Like like I mean, like, I get the publicity and the marketing part, but I just don't would would you wanna go play where, like, people are fans? Yeah, bro.

It's always crazy, bro. Because, like, you sit here and you think about it, and, like, here we are on January well, you know, January 7th. But on January 12th is when they play. All the way back in September was when they played in fucking Brazil. And it's just like it seems like it was worlds away Yeah.

Or worlds ago. And then all of a sudden now it's like Dude they're about to play again in, you know, January. Yeah. Christmas seems like fucking 6 months. Christmas does seem like it.

Dude, I yeah. I was off of work for two and a half weeks. Yeah. You were yeah. You were out of there.

I was I was so bored. I literally didn't work from I didn't work for, like, 10 days. I didn't work from Christmas Eve until Saturday, which was 4th. Yeah. But I didn't work for, like, 10 days.

It feels weird then. So long. Yeah. Because I I was just, like, yeah. I aged a lot.

Yeah. Like, I went back in there, and I was just, like, what do I even do? Dude, I'm so glad I still had my notes Yeah. Like, of what I had to do. I'm, like, just I'm, like, what is this?

That was so glad I didn't even have to talk to any like, I didn't have to serve or do anything right away. Yeah. Like, that would have been just absolutely insane. Yeah. Gotta ease back in.

But anyway Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay.

You do gotta ease back into it. Yes, man. Commanders, Bucks, 7 o'clock, Sunday night. That one is gonna be an interesting game because Jaden Daniels, a rookie going up against Baker Mayfield who balled out this year. Yeah.

At you know, in Tampa Bay, so warm weather don't have to worry about any of the cold. That would be a pretty pretty good match. I think that sounds like a pretty good match. Yeah. Yeah.

And then Monday night, 7 o'clock. How many of these are cold weather games? Because just I'm just going by what the weather is. They're playing Buffalo just so consider well, Buffalo definitely. Would you consider Baltimore cold or not?

Fuck yeah. Yeah. Baltimore. Yeah. It's both the base of Baltimore, Buffalo, Philly.

Yeah. And then that's it. Still gonna say but I'm always saying that is because what's what's happening is what's going on, it's gonna happen this later this week. Mhmm. It's not already going to be cold without it.

It's just like a dick smack of cold blood. A dick smack. Anyway, sorry. I was just that was curiosity. That's crazy.

Yeah. And then Vikings Rams in SoFi in LA. Crazy that the that the Vikings finished I mean, we gotta figure out seeding again because the Vikings finished 14 and 3, and they're having to travel to LA to play the Rams who finished 10 and 7. And I get it. The Rams won the division, but, like, how the fuck do you win 14 games and you gotta go on the road in the playoffs?

And, yeah, I That just doesn't make any sense. Like, I I Oh, no. No. No. I'm saying that's the rules of the the the NFL playoff system is if you win your division, you get to host the playoff game.

But, like, I'm sorry. If I win if if I win, like, the Vikings, they didn't win their division because another team went 15 and 2. Think about that. Yeah. Like, that's just really doesn't make any sense.

I'm sorry. Yeah. I will that does not make any sense at all. Yeah. It's looks like technically they didn't, but it's like look at their record.

It's that is a banner season for anybody. Anybody else going 14 and 3 is ecstatic. Yeah. It's like or else you say it's the South Park, but your best wasn't good enough. Yeah.

And then like all of a sudden, like, we can't we have to fucking travel because we didn't win our division because another team in our division went 15 and 2. Now the Vikings could have beat the Lions on Sunday and won the division. I had to worry about this. I get that yes. However, in the event that that doesn't happen, I mean, come on, bro.

Like, the Vikings should not have to go on the road to play their 1st playoff. That's just not like, winning 14 games in the regular season is not easy to do, nor is winning your division, which again, I get. I understand. All that is I should yeah. It's like I get it.

It's the rule, but it's like, come on, man. Won 14 fucking games. Yeah. You went 10 and 7, and because everyone else in your division is dick, you won it. So, like and I get and then again, it is an accomplishment to win your division.

I totally I'm not downplaying that. But for another team to go 14 and 3 Yeah. And get to and have to go to and have to travel to you, I'm sorry, but that's just No. That doesn't make any sense. Yeah.

And there had to there there has to be, like, some clause. Like, you win x amount of games, you get, like, 3 rub and tugs on the way. Right. Like, it has to be like, you have to make it worth their while. Like, you have to give them something.

Yeah. Like Like, it like, just imagine have you ever just tried to do something with like, something awesome or whatever 14 times? Yeah. Just like I'm gonna eat 14 steaks. Okay.

That's a lot of fucking steak. Lot of red meat, bro. You're gonna You really start when you break it down Lot of red meat. 14's a lot. Lot of red meat, bro.

You're gonna clog the shit out of your yard. Right. So every for whatever. 4 months. Yeah.

14, man. Like, I'm sorry, but that's fucking insane. Yeah. So 14 games in yeah. 4 months.

That's Yeah. That's really good. Yeah. Like, come on, bro. But yeah.

So that's our, little NFL playoff preview, man. You know, we'll obviously let the cards fall. They may, fall where they may, after the games get kicked off on Saturday, Sunday, Monday. And so, we'll just continue to monitor that when we do shows. And from there, I mean, might even, might even be able to get a second show in this weekend.

That way, we can make some predictions, maybe. Fuck. Yeah. But alright. Sorry about that.

Next up is going to be a little bit of NCAA Football, a little bit of recap with the college football playoff, where that currently stands before the semifinal games this weekend. Obviously, 1st round was, Ohio State beating Tennessee, obviously smashing. Did absolute mess out of them. Obviously, that happened. So then, you know, we, venture out to Austin, Texas, where, you know, my Longhorns got it got it done against, the Clemson Tigers.

And then Notre Dame actually going out, beating Indiana to, advance was definitely a pretty, not one-sided because Indiana fought back at the end, but, Notre Dame definitely was in control, you know, pretty much for the entire game. Penn State beating, SMU, Dallas' own SMU. What a run they had this season, man. That was that's a heck of a season for them, man. They couldn't play offs and making it to the conference championship game and all that sort of stuff.

So definitely For the little Island Park College. Yeah. You know what I mean? Definitely a little to them. Definitely a little hat tip to them, man.

You know, they went out there and It's not the guys aren't bad. You guys kicked ass. Yeah. Like, y'all went out there and did your thing. You just ran into a you know, a team that's on another level than you are, so you can't be mad about that.

And then that brings us to the quarter finals that we saw, play themselves out. You know, again, Texas Longhorns got it done, beat Arizona State. You know what I mean? Beat Arizona State, went out there and got it done in double overtime. You know, Arizona State's scrappy football team, they fight.

You know what I mean? They're gonna go out there and execute and and do what they tell them. So, you know, it's, definitely a a good feeling going into the, semifinals with a chance to advance to play for it all. So, you know, tune in Friday night, 6:30. It's over at AT and T Stadium.

Obviously, the weather is gonna be what it is. So, we were gonna try to go You played in Dallas? Yeah. Texas. I'll do.

You it's a dome. It's fine. No. I'm talking about travel wise. I'm talking about for people in there.

No. I'm not I'm not talking about the team. Team will be fine. We'll find a way into that stadium. That game can get played, but They got that big ass hotel.

Yeah. I'm talking about people getting there, but, then, the counterpart, in that game, the Ohio State Buckeyes, who did beat the Oregon Ducks, the number one overall seed in the playoff, 40 1 to 21 in the Rose Bowl out there in California. Ohio State, definitely, they dominated that one. They I mean, they dominate Tennessee. A lot of people are not really giving Texas much of a chance to win.

But, you know, probably gotta play the games. We'll see what happens. You have your just so you guys know, Ohio State's trigger word right now? It is. So like I said, we'll get into that a little bit.

Yeah. We'll we'll we'll after the rundown after the rundown, we'll we'll we'll get into a little more of that that game more specifically. Notre Dame did beat Georgia 23 to 10 in the Sugar Bowl to advance. And then, on Thursday night or Tuesday night, I mean, Tuesday on 31st, Penn State beat Boise State 31 to 14 in the Fiesta Bowl to advance to what we now have set up on Thursday Friday on 9th 10th, Notre Dame, Penn State, and one semifinal in the Capital One Orange Bowl out there in Miami. That is going to be crazy.

And so why would it be crazy? That's gonna I mean Just because of the matchup? The matchup. The final four really is a group of teams that have a really have a rich history. You got 2 well, 3 blue bloods, really, if you wanna consider another day in 1, but mostly Texas, Ohio State.

You got that aspect of it. You got a, you know, large fan bases for the most part. Even non, non alums, people like that that just kinda root for the team, where they're from, regionally and everything like that. So you got that aspect of it. And then you just have the styles of play.

Right. So Notre Dame and Penn State, both of them are gonna play defense. Tough at the line is at the lines of scrimmage. Big at the lines of scrimmage. Not overly explosive at, like, receiver.

Somewhat at tight end, especially for Penn State with Tyler Warren. Running back, especially Notre Dame's, Jeremiah Love is a little banged up. He's their home run. They're a contract speed guy. Okay.

But we'll see what happens with him. He might not be a 100%. He might not play at all. Penn State has 2 physical one, you know, you know, pretty fast running backs that are gonna be able to wear you down and everything like that. But it's just gonna be a it's just the styles of play, man.

It's just gonna be in your mouth or, you know, smash mouth, in your face. Just Yeah. You know? Through your bra? It's gonna be a backyard bra, man.

It's gonna be Just lick them up from there. Gonna be crazy. Oh, yeah. Who's the most margin? Yeah.

You know what I mean? This is gonna be one of them type of games, man. Yeah. There's only one of them type of games. So we, we'll keep our eyes on that one Thursday at 6:30, man.

You tune in. This is Capital 1 Orange Bowl in Miami. And then, you know, Friday night, 6:30 over there at AT and T Stadium. Somebody's excited. Texas Longhorns versus the Ohio State Buckeye Show.

About that one. No. One of my one of my best friends is an Ohio State fan. So Yep. And then we got each other here a little bit.

So All I have to say is we got Matthew McConaughey, bitch. We got McConaughey. We got McConaughey. I mean, what we talking about? You know how fucking Yeah.

McConaughey got they got I mean, they got LeBron, I guess. But No, dude. You got McConaughey. Come on. Like, he He is what?

After seeing he this was, like, years ago, not years. When, like, True Detective season 1 came out. He did, like, a little speech when he he was at to the log horns. Mhmm. Give, like, this very quintessential McConaughey type of just kind of avant garde.

Just really just his philosophy. Mhmm. And like the team went beat the shit out of their the next the next time they played, and they beat the shit out of them by, like, 50 points or some shit. I'm like, that's the power of mechanic. Yeah.

It's but, yeah, mechanic, baby. Minister of culture is what he's called. Is he is he okay. He's probably not gonna be his fault. I know he's a professor.

He is called the minister of culture. He's the coolest motherfucker. Everyone else does hook them horns like this? Yeah. Matthew McConaughey.

Oh, dude. Fuck. Yes. Kanye always does it backwards. Yeah.

Always. Because because he's rock and roll, man. Come on, baby. McConaughey. Yes.

You know, you know, like I said, Wes, you know, let me, lean back and get you on a little bit of this. Back. Because, you know, I did go on my rant about Ryan Day and how soft he is and how, you know, bitch made it was of that program that react the way that they did to losing to their biggest rival. And I just you know, there's a lot of things that that go on in the world of sports and between fan bases and Yeah. You know, things that are said and things that are are insinuated and whatnot.

And I just wanted to be known. I still feel the way I do about Ryan Day no matter the outcome of the game on on on Friday. Right. Win or lose. And the thing about that is the reason behind it is because he's a front runner as are the Ohio State Buckeyes.

And I feel like if you punch them in the mouth, they will fold. That's what happened with Michigan. Right. That's what happened the first go around the season with Oregon. That's what happens that's what's that's that's what has happened in the last 3 games before this one against Michigan, is they got punched in the mouth and they folded like lawn chairs like their coach does.

And I feel like, personally, as long as we go out there and we assert our dominance and our will at the lines of scrimmage as well as on the perimeter blocking his wide receivers on corners and and making sure that the linemen get up to the 2nd level on linebackers. I think we can go out here and win this game even if they do have superior talent in terms of guys like Jeremiah Smith and Emeka Ekebuka, Tre'Veon Henderson, Quinshaun Jenkins, yada yada yada. The list goes on and on. They're always loaded. But you know what is the thing with them?

The bitch. That doesn't matter? The bitches. Ain't got no heart. Oh, that's true.

You got no fucking heart. Yeah. That's the ex I think that they've allowed these last two games due to the fact that they've been in the like, these last two games have come in the playoffs. And in sports that have a playoff system, they determine things, which is all of them. Unless you, do it in the playoffs, it doesn't matter.

So everyone is feeling like, oh, you know, they're doing this in the playoffs. This is who they've always been, blah blah blah blah blah. Is it though? Is it Is it though? Yeah.

Because I'm sorry. I understand the mindset of doing it in the post season is all that matters. I get that. But you are who you are. Right.

I'm you you are who the fuck you are. They're gonna be who they're gonna be. Will Spill the pill Howard, their quarterback. It's either Will the thrill or you get Will Spill the pill. And guess what's gonna happen?

We're gonna get Will spill the pill because it never fails. Right. Because as Stephen a Smith would always has has always said about my Dallas Cowboys, what does he say? Wes, he says, what can go wrong will go wrong. Well, that's Murphy's love.

But yeah. Well, actually, Murphy's love is anything that can happen will happen. But not just go yeah. But you just shut down and shut down. But you well, no.

You just subbing wrong, though. What can go wrong Well, it will go wrong. So that's the sub setting. It's going to happen. The out of this What can happen will happen.

So what can go wrong will go wrong. Within it. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. So what can go wrong will go wrong.

I think that, no Homer ism here. The Ohio State Buckeyes are a very talented team. They are very explosive team. They're also a very soft team, and you're being very, very you're it's like you're you're you're dissing them. You're being very passive aggressive about it.

I know. They can they got talent, like, we're not I know what you're saying. Your overall just your vibe about it. You're like, yeah. They're fucking soft.

Yeah. And it pisses me off. Be a gentleman about it. Because it pisses me off because their fan base, especially one of my best, like, we I've if you're if you're a dedicated college football fan like myself and a fictional, if you must Yeah. You've seen Ohio State at different times in their history Right.

It's such as and under different coaches. Right. And let me tell you something. What it looks like now ain't what it looked like before. Right.

When what it looked like before is what has given them the ammunition and battery in their backs to act like how they do now. Oh, yeah. They're like they're like, Nepos. They're like Yes. Yeah.

Like You're riding off the coattails of some other shit that doesn't have anything to do with what's going on right now. Because let me tell you something. Urban Meyer, your former coach, Jim Tressel, they wouldn't have needed 6 1st round picks to come back to school to beat Michigan. Of course. Yeah.

Of course, you're gonna be good at the 6 first rounders. But this is what I'm saying. Like, a lot of those guys would have been beating Michigan multiple times and left after their junior year because the type of guys that they recruit don't need 4 years to go become NFL ready. If you're really that type of player, a lot of these guys with the way it works, like, you go after 3 years. You don't need your 4th year or 5th year.

You now there's guys that do because football is just, like, physical development happens at different paces. That's that's fine. A lot of that happens with guys who are lower ranked in high school and stuff like that because they haven't developed yet. But the guys that they get are fully developed come 8th, 9th grade where they're on bars. You know what I mean?

These are the 4 5 high high four star, 5 star guys Yeah. That are, you know, pretty much 3 years and out going to the NFL. Yeah. That was how it used to be. They like I said, Urban Meyer didn't need these Chase Young and and the Bossa brothers to come back to beat Michigan in their senior year because they beat them 3 times already Yeah.

And they dominated and got out of there. Right. I'm you know what I mean? I'm I'm it doesn't look like that anymore. Now, again, have they played well this these past 2 games?

Sure. I acknowledge that. But The numbers can only get so far. Where where has where has these guys that came back been the past 3 years? Right.

That's the problem. And these were all highly ranked guys, Wes. These were 5 star guys. These guys are top of the recruiting rankings. Right.

Why is it that they couldn't figure it out their first 3 years and get the fuck out of there and then make room for the next freshman or sophomore guy that's ready to come up versus having to come back to try to beat Michigan and then lose to them again. That's I'm I'm just the the the the the logic that they're giving me doesn't make any sense. That's a really good point. So, basically, from what I've understanding is that you get the best guys on paper, they should be out by 3 years. Out by 3 years.

But No have to be. 4 or 5 in play, like I said. The players before them were Used to be out 3 years. Have to be the the top guys. They were just they were coached that well.

Yeah. And they were still some of the top guys too. Right. But they were still top guys. Yeah.

I'm just, like But they were coached well enough. They were picking out of, like, let's just say for, like, they were getting the top picking out of the top 20 instead of the top 10. Mhmm. You know, so you get a little bit more of wiggle room. But that actually makes sense.

A very very good point. I'm and I wasn't disagreeing. I just that's I your logic is way it's way easier to take from an objective point of view. It just looks different, bro. I'm just telling you.

It just doesn't It feels different. It doesn't make any sense to me. I'm like, bro, you always recruit well. Like, you always have the top guys. Why is it that when Urban Meyer and Jim Trestle got them, they were beating Michigan 2 out of their 3 years that they were there if they if they didn't go undefeated, which most of them did.

Right. And then they're gone by their junior year. Right. Or if they redshirted, you know, you sit your freshman year and then you Right. Play 2 years or 3 again and leave your redshirt senior, you know, that's fine too.

But, like, if you come in there and you contribute as a freshman a little bit, get on the field as a sophomore, and then as a junior, you go crazy, and you're out of there. Where the fuck is that at with these guys? I don't understand. Yeah. You're getting the same caliber of players.

Right. So what the fuck's the difference? No. That's It's something that is confusing the hell out of me. So it's kinda like what you said that it's kinda going back and tying this in my head.

So just trying to piece this, but you said they have no heart. Right? So and I'm a I'm a data bitch. So what what on paper, we do buy things on paper, it's always just it's just like computers. What do computers do?

They do exactly what you tell them. What you tell it to. Right? So it's just on by the numbers, it should be this. But then there's always this little bit missing.

Mhmm. Like, there's just that so it's like Things you can't account for. Yeah. Things you can't account for. And so what am I gonna say?

It's kinda cheesy. Where what is it? The heart. The heart. If you have no heart.

Because, definitely, you are absolutely correct. There should be in the logical universe, there's no reason. But the universe has no obligation to make sense to you. That's true. That's true.

So I'm I'm with you because I'm, like, I'm sorry to tie it in my head. I'm, like, oh, okay. I get it. No heart. Yeah.

He's if he's, like, just play. Okay. I mean, I just wanna point out that of the so let's see. Let's think here. So Bijon Robinson, Xavier Worthy, I guess you can count AD Mitchell even though he transferred, and Kelvin Banks, Cameron so I'm just I'm just that was just a list of guys off the top of my head that are gonna be 3 years in now for Texas.

Right. So we have we have 3 players, and then Ohio's got They've I mean, they've got they've got more I mean, Texas has more has a has a bunch too, but the difference is The 3 are talking about 3 and out. Oh, that's what I'm saying. Texas has a bunch too, but we're also actually gonna get those guys out in 3 years. Yeah.

That's the thing. So the problem that I have, with Ohio State is the fact that they don't allow themselves the ability to take criticism, because of the way that they carry themselves. Like flags. They don't. They don't?

They don't. They don't like flags, especially with big maze m's on them. They hate flags like that, especially when it's planted in the middle of the block o at at Ohio State. About the Iwo Jima, the Iwo Jima. Picture, bro, where they put yeah.

I mean whatever. That's all I could think. Man, they must really, really hate that statue, fucking cock. I got you. Man, I'm just I'm just so excited for this game, bro, because So when's the game?

It's Friday at 6:30. Oh. I just me and my friend have been going at it back and forth ever ever since we hired Steve Sarkisian in 2021. And he just start we just he you know, we do we're shit talkers. That's what we do.

Yeah. He was talking crazy, and I told him I we went 57 his 1st year and didn't make a bowl game. We're under 500. I said, don't worry. We're coming.

We're coming, bro. I'm trying I said I listen. I said I like what I saw from my team because they get guess what they did no matter what every game? Right. They fought.

They didn't lay down again. They fought. I said, look. They lost. Said we lost.

We went 57. Yes. But they didn't give up in any game. Yeah. You go 57, and you still make it that did give up, guess what they didn't do next year?

Come back. Yeah. It was gone. And each and every year, we have weeded out the players that didn't want to give optimal effort every year, and Jones. Jerry, take fucking notes, bro.

Call us. Take fucking notes. I can run back I can I can be the GM or you can put Will McClay as a GM, which he deserves? Be a Gus GM. You know what I mean?

I could just be, like, kinda in the just War Room looking at film, looking at fucking, goddamn the dash sheets and everything that you're looking at and be like, look, bro. This is what you need to do. You need to go for it. You're 83 years old, Jerry. You don't know what good looks like anymore except for except except for in certain positions, like the O Line a little bit, and even then you kinda fell off.

I thought you're talking about, like, where When he played o line. Oh, I was I was gonna say try to find his boss. Oh, well because he's old in the hang love. Christ. That's fucking hilarious.

Hey. You know what time it is. Oh, does that mean this must be part? It's music time. It's time to don't flush music.

Hell, yeah. Guess what just dropped 13 minutes ago? Dallas Cowboys deny. Mike McCarthy enabled, permission to interview with the Bears. So What a dickhead.

Jerry Jones is a piece of shit. Fucking cunt. Jerry Jones is a fucking piece of shit. Yeah. Again, in any other any other fucking business, it's is illegal to do Like that's so crazy.

They're called non compete clauses. Now, if you wanted to but usually with, like, well, not both NDAs or non competes, they used to allow you they would give you salary Mhmm. To not compete. Right. Exactly.

That's one thing Fucking is. Which sounds awesome to me because it it's, like, dude, I'm so good. You know what I mean? You don't want me to compete, but you don't want to deal with me. Come on.

I can't even imagine. But yeah, man. So, obviously, that's our little, preview of the basketball playoffs semifinals that will be occurring on Thursday Friday, with the Texas Longhorns. Okay. Yeah.

Being a part of that. So But kind of now that we're, you know, we're in our b block or kinda going into our c, what I'm seeing in my head, winding down football. It's gonna be 3 weeks. We gotta start building up basketball now. Oh, man.

So You wanna end on the basketball note? You know, I just thought I had just pulled it up, actually. Yeah. There we go. See what I'm saying?

So 2nd level. You know what I mean? Lakers are in town to play the Mavs. You know how I feel. I got my LeBron jersey.

I got a new one. So I I know I was gonna say, this is Lake Show? Lake Show, baby. You know, I like the squad. But, yeah, man.

You know, I feel like I I feel good about where the Lakers are at right now. We are definitely a team that is not at our peak yet. I think there's still room to grow as a team, continue to get better defensively, communication wise. What we're trying to do when it comes to the offensive end of getting, AD the ball more is the focal point of the offense. Just continue to try to knock down open threes again.

Feels like we are just never a good 3 point shoot. I cannot remember the last time the Lakers have been inside the top 15, even 20, maybe, of the best 3 point shooting teams in the league. So just continue to try to knock down the open looks that we're getting, continue to try to add some, pieces before the trade deadline. And like I said, right now, we're 5th, half a game behind Denver, who's in 4th. A full 10 games back, though, of OKC, who's in first in the west.

And then you got the Houston Rockets who have been a pretty big surprise this season in 2nd place in the west, actually. They earned What what what makes this so surprising? Just I mean, how young they are. Oh, they're like they they've been good for a while. No.

They they I mean, they they struggled a little bit after they left after after James Harden left. Okay. But they've definitely worked their way back to competitiveness, and they're 2nd in the west right now, tied, with the Memphis Grizzlies who are also 7 games back of OKC. Then you got the Mavs, 10 and a half games back of OKC, a half game back of the Lakers, for 5th right now. Obviously, the first, 6 seeds in the conference don't have to worry about the play in, while 7 through 10 do.

Your current playing teams right now are the Clippers at 7, the Warriors at 8, Minnesota at 9, and San Antonio at 10. On the outside looking in is the Sacramento Kings and the Phoenix Suns, who are 13 and 13 and a half games back, respectively, of that, first place, obviously, and then our half game and a full game back at the 10 spot. Portland, Utah, and New Orleans are the last three teams in the west right now, and they are not currently in too much of the picture. Portland is, I mean, it's, what, 5 and a half games back. So I don't think they're gonna be able to get to kinda climb that, but, look out for Sacramento, Phoenix, Golden State, Minnesota, and San Antonio down there at the 8 through 12 spots in the west to try to duke out who will get those last couple play in spots.

Right. And then over in the Eastern Conference, the Cleveland Cavaliers are gonna be number 1. They are actually number 1 in the entire league at 31 and 4. Mhmm. The Boston Celtics are second at 26 and 10.

They're 5 and a half games back. Yeah. They're very they're they're, you know, both of those teams are going crazy. Yeah. New York is 3rd.

The Magic oh, what was that? Oh, yeah. It was just like surprising. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

New York is 3rd. The Magic are 4. Milwaukee is 5, and Indiana is 6. 7 through 10 is gonna be Detroit, Atlanta, Miami, Chicago. Miami is notable at 9 right now because Jimmy Butler does wanna trade.

Right. The Suns are thinking about trying to, be the ones to go and get him. But we don't know for sure what's gonna happen there. The deadline isn't forward. Three and a half more weeks?

3 more weeks? Something like that? Yeah. I didn't realize the all star game was Yeah. All star game is always gonna be right after the Super Bowl.

Oh, no. I'm just saying February 16th. I'm just, like Yeah. Damn. Mhmm.

They always gonna do that right after the Super Bowl. Oh, you can still I was just I just because I just pulled up, if you go to nba.com, if you vote and pick your 5 for each, conference Mhmm. You can win tickets. Oh, okay. Oh, so that's a good here here we go.

In the west, you get front oh, let's see. You get front court and guard. Yeah. So you can pick literally anybody. Build your own 5 year roster in each.

Interesting. Okay. Yeah. I'm I don't know much. I gotta I gotta dive as much as you needed to dive into hockey.

Mhmm. I need to dive into NBA now. Yeah. I do need to, I need to dive back into hockey. The Stars are actually playing right now.

Are they? Well, how how are they doing this year? They are, right now, losing to the Rangers 3 to 1. That makes sense. And the Stars are Oh, what's 24 and 13?

Place in the Western Proverbs. 24 and 13? That's actually pretty good. 49 points. Yeah.

They're 4th and That's 4th? Oh, damn. Okay. Well, because the Avalanche are 25 and 15. The Wild, they're 25 and 11.

And Winnipeg is 27 and 12. Dallas, no shit. Wild, they're have 54 points right now. Damn. Yeah.

We we gotta brush up on our winter spot. I know. It's not so fucking small. Dude, I fucking know. But we will.

We'll get there. I mean Yeah. Season's still semi young. Yeah. We we gotta milk it as much as we can.

You know, season's still semi young. I mean, hockey's obviously in full swing, but But, like, there's still a lot of fun. Yeah. Because, like, what, basketball ends in what, July August? They I mean, hockey and basketball typically end around the same.

Okay. They normally like, hockey normally starts a little bit before, and then, honestly, it might even end a little bit after depending on schedule, though. Yeah. But they all they both ended June. Okay.

Damn. That's just that feels like that's a year round season. Dude, it does, doesn't it? Yeah. And it's also because partially the fucking off season.

No. That's true too. Because you think about it, bro. Like, so for example, the regular season for hockey ends on April 17th. Thursday, April 17th.

The the regular season for the NBA ends on Sunday, April 13th. Oh. So Well, there. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, man. So that's, that was the that was a hell of a fucking recap slash preview slash A little dip little, mini rant. It was a I was really rant. Gentlemanly rant. Yeah.

I just wanted to be a little more, nice to my counterparts this time around. But you kind of were like had like, the way you said it, I was like, man, he's like actually giving you credit, and it makes you sound worse. Yeah. Because they're fucking pussy's, bro. You're taking the herd qualities, but like, yeah, we get it.

Nobody gives a shit about that. No one gives a fuck, though. They think everyone care they think everyone's supposed to care, and none of us give a shit. We don't give a fuck at all. It's like it's like when you make fun of somebody, the word instead of, like, coming up with something creative, you just say if you really wanna hit them, you just go, dude, you're just very forgettable.

You know what I mean? It's just like, oh. It's just like Like literally. The less you say the best. Like that is actually facts.

Like Yeah. You're very forgettable. You're very forgettable. That's Oh, dude. That that's a sucker pun.

Yeah. I can be so you disappoint me. Okay. Well, I didn't want your approval so that doesn't matter. Or or or you know what?

You're just not a very memorable person. Yeah. You're not memorable. Or it's a really disengage somebody that's, like, trying to be all bravado and, like, mean to you. You want a hug?

No, dude. It's my favorite. You cannot go wrong with that because that will disarms asking them if they want a hug or do you need a hug? Or just saying, like, yo, dude. This buddy needs a hug, man.

I don't know what's sick. That's fucking crazy. It's good. Right? Yeah.

So alright. So what we have? We're taking this out. We should be doing you know what? I'll see what it is.

Hey, man. Yes. Actually, did you wanna do Thursday or Friday? Let's do Thursday or Friday. It doesn't matter.
