Speaker 1: I've had it assholes.

Speaker 2: My smoke thick, my jewels go. My shoes new, these hoes chose. My pistol work, my looks keel.

Speaker 3: All right, glasses are on.

Speaker 1: You already know what it is, man.

Speaker 3: All right, so what's going on? Well, coming to you from PsychoFore Studios in Dallas, Texas, it's the strikes of the NZOM podcast featuring the one and only Mr. Trey Ballard. And we're, we're trying this thing out right now. Oh yeah, I'm Wes, the, the producer. Yeah, so we're trying a dual video.

I'm doing a dual video on one camera. We get the lights set up. We got some fluorescence going on and we're trying to figure out our signature style. And we're thinking it's sunglasses because the sun never sets on a badass.

Always got to have the stunners on, right? So yeah, so we're trying out. So with the video, we're just, I'm trying out lighting. Trey's got the cool background. I got the, you know, kind of whatever.

Speaker 1: This is just like, you know, this is our thing.

Speaker 3: Yeah, this is our thing. This is for us. But you know, yeah, absolutely. This is for the whole community. Yeah. And eventually we'll have, you know, that's where I keep on trying to promote like Dallas sports, but broadcasting and things like that.

Speaker 1: I'm obviously not a full Dallas sports fan. I still do. Yeah.

Speaker 3: Well, we're doing it in Dallas.

Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So I do support the advertising for the Dallas. Yeah.

Speaker 3: So we, so we got, you got a lot of, we had the rivalry last week. So I'm going to let you kind of like take the reins, obviously. Yeah. What do you want to start?

Speaker 1: So we're going to start off with a recap of rivalry week last week. Rivalry week. Sorry. I know that for a lot of people that can be a bit of a tongue twister, including myself. So rivalry week.

Speaker 3: Yeah, that is weird. Yeah.

Speaker 1: Anyway, but obviously to start off, as you can see my beanie with the Texas Longhorns logo, you know, they did handle business in college station against the tech saying a Maggie 17 and seven, you know, you know how you had to get done.

And then obviously Michigan with the big upset over how state who was ranked number two in the country at the time 13 and 10 in Columbus, man. You just, that's a, that's, that's one, that's a tough pill. One that's tough. Notre Dame USC, Notre Dame winning 49 and 35 out there in Southern California. A lot of these Tennessee Vanderbilt, Tennessee winning at Vandy 3623. So the way it's been set up is that some of them were not actual rivalry games like Cal at SMU and Miami at Syracuse. Right. They had to kind of fill it in Purdue at Indiana, Indiana winning 66 to zero. Obviously, because Purdue is not a very good football team in Indiana is. So that was a result that was fairly expected.

Speaker 3: Yeah. Producing is one of the basketball school.

Speaker 1: Well, they both are, but Indiana hiring the new coach, Kirk Signetti last season out of James Madison has turned that program completely around. So they are now what I look at as a college ball playoff lock, which was not something people had on their bingo card between 20.

Speaker 3: Right. So what was the the eight people came out what two days ago and a playoff came out today.

Speaker 1: Yeah.

Speaker 3: So what was I was yeah, you never SMU still in there. Yeah. I usually have my phone and I'm not behind my computer. So I have nothing to look up right now. So I'm just kind of going off of memory. But is there any like shockers that you think for the playoffs?

Speaker 1: I mean, not really.

Speaker 3: It's just kind of like, like to me, just SMU. Being in there, maybe just because it's just the small ass school and then you have, you know, Oregon and they've earned it. Oh yeah. Not saying they're bad. It's just weird to have just compared to like these like big 10 schools or whatever. But yeah, that's all I'm saying. Okay. So yeah, you have those rubber weeks and then not to mention the riots.

Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean, because I mean, you finish it off with I was in South Carolina being Clemson at Clemson 1714. That's what's up. That was definitely one of those games where you beat someone on the road and you go plant your flag and you go. Let's go Cox Auburn did.

It cracks, you know, no game cost me. Yeah. Auburn did lose at Alabama, 28, 14 and the Iron Bowl, which was honestly an expected result given the talent of the two or at least they had coaching in the talent versus the other head coaching and talent versus, you know, Alabama versus Auburn. It was just kind of a mismatch in that aspect.

Right. Arizona State, Arizona. Obviously Arizona State much better than Arizona this season. So they won 49 to seven. Then you had Farmer getting, which is going to be Kansas State versus Iowa State. Iowa State did win 2921. And then you have the battle line rivalry between Arkansas, Missouri, which Missouri won 2821. And then we also obviously have Louisville, Kentucky, Louisville 141 to 14. We also have after that, Louisiana at Louisiana Monroe, which Louisiana did beat Louisiana Monroe 3723. So with all of that being said, the setup conference championship week. Man, what a what a set of matchups we have.

So starting tomorrow at six o'clock. You got Western, Kentucky, Jacksonville State for the CUSA title conference USA. You got UNLV and boys at Boise State at seven. UNLV ranked 20 in the college football playoff rankings and Boise State at 10. You got that for the Mountain West Conference title. If Boise State wins, they obviously are in the college football playoff.

If UNLV wins, though, that opens the door for another group of five champion to automatically get the bid. So that is a game worth watching to kind of see what happens there. You think Boise State will win, but you know, conference championship week is a lot of things that happen.

Speaker 3: It's one thing about college sports. There is literally no guarantee. There's nothing that's a lock. Nothing. Yeah. And it really is one of those not until that last whistle blows. How many fucking Hail Marys or kick returns even in basketball? The fight. What is the like the last minute takes like 45 minutes to play?

Speaker 1: It can be a lot of time just because fouling and free throws and all that sort of stuff time out. So yeah, it can take away. Then you got Tulane at Army also at seven o'clock. Tulane is favored by five.

This game is at is in West Point at Michi Stadium, but a lot of people, experts are saying that Tulane is going to be able to pass the ball on Army. So that could be a game where normally, I mean, you get three points at home. So if this game was at was in New Orleans, it'd be Tulane by about eight, maybe even nine. So yeah, I don't look for Tulane to probably go out there and their dominance.

Speaker 3: What would be just out of everybody that's got the bids, what would be the ultimate bowl game for you this season? If you like regardless of who has to win, if you were to say, hey, this is this is going to be the biggest game, who would you want to see play each other?

Speaker 1: Honestly, it would be a very low tier bowl game, most likely, but I would like to see USC versus Oklahoma.

Speaker 3: South Carolina? No, I was in Southern California.

Speaker 1: Sorry, my mind always goes to yeah. So the homeless former coach is at Southern California now.

Speaker 3: Okay, so you like to see them play you go. USC and who? Oklahoma. That, yeah. I can see that being true.

Speaker 1: I would like to see that game just because the, the lead up to it would be so.

Speaker 3: I would love to see SMU versus university, Nevada, Las Vegas. Against UNOV? I don't know why that just sounds like, hey, I have no reason why just because to me they're just smaller schools. But also, I wish UTEP was in there because I know I showed you clips of the show McRoover and when they give his resume, his last thing on his like resume because they said something like, you know, eight tourist deserts store like this ridiculous thing that goes and starting tie in for the University of Texas El Paso. So I got this thing for UTEP for absolutely no reason. Again, this is why I don't know anything about it.

Speaker 1: No, it's all good. And then Saturday, so starting at 11, we got two games. We got the big truck championship game. It should be Iowa State, Arizona State out of Jerry World at AT &T Stadium in Arlington. Then you got Ohio at Miami of Ohio at in Detroit at Ford Field. That'll be for the Mac championship, the mid American Conference championship.

And then, you know, you got Texas, Georgia in a three o'clock man. You know what it is. Oh, yeah. You know, Mercedes Benz Stadium, y'all tuning in on ABC at three o'clock. You know, we're going to go put on the show. Avenged that loss from the day before my birthday, man. It was that was a tough one.

Speaker 3: That was a tough week for you. A lot of things happen. Yeah.

Speaker 1: So, you know, we're going to go avenge that loss, man, and and and and right that wrong. So then we got Marshall at Louisiana, 630 on ESPN. That'll game will be in Lafayette for the Sunbelt Conference title.

So that'll be pretty pretty good in an interesting game. Then you got Penn State at Oregon for the Big 10 at Lucas Oil State in Minneapolis at seven o'clock on CBS. And in the cap off championship Saturday, got Clemson against SMU. The Dallas Garn is seven o'clock on ABC. That game will be at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, with the Carolina Panthers place.

Speaker 3: I've been to that stadium. Very Steelers Panthers. Yeah. But yeah, to see a lot of my friends, you know, Mark, I love you. You're one of my best friends, but Clemson fans. I'm a USC fan, but only by proximity plus.

And then of course, the whole joke, the whole joke of hearing a bunch of girls yell, I love cock. Yeah, you know, whatever. But they kind of reminds me of a story, not to go into too much of a tangent, but my buddy Buck, he was flying out to California and he had his USC.

Sharon just said cocks, you know, but like, you know, in South Carolina, that's just that's your USC. Well, he's waiting in the airport in, I think it was in San Francisco. Everybody's looking at him laughing. Yeah. They're like, he's like, what the f***? And he's getting angry. He's like, what the f*** are you guys like, dude, your shirt literally says cocks. And he's like, oh, what? And I'm just going to, yeah, dude, especially in San Francisco, that will throw up a lot of, yeah. So a lot of red flags.

Speaker 1: A lot of red flags. But not like there's anything. Yeah, but green flags. But yeah, so that we're looking at him like, you

Speaker 3: know, I don't know what it is about the South Carolina because you have the shots, clears and you have the cocks. And then I don't know. But then of course, my other home, my other one about with Clemson was when we had a river fest when I worked for the radio station, Ed Sheeran was one of the headliners. So this was like 2015 and he was just up and coming and his logo was a look like a Clemson paw because he's redhead. So he played the day before he got the Charleston, he played in Columbia and that was his backdrop was the pot. He had a British guy has no f***ing clue why everybody's booing him.

Not because of the music. And he's like, what do I do? I'm like, dude, you basically wore a red socks jersey inside Yankee stadium. I mean, like that's the only, or whatever you are a man city jersey inside of Arsenal. I don't, you know, I don't know. Yeah.

Speaker 1: So I got so anyway, then. And then so real quick, the jump to the NFL and fantasy. We obviously have a Thursday night game, two division rivals, Green Bay and Detroit. The game. Oh, yeah.

During love. Yeah. So the way I see it is I'm going to take. This is not legal betting advice. As obviously as we're in Texas, but I'm going to take Packers Money line. I'm seeing it.

I was seeing it at plus one forty five earlier. I just think that with Detroit being 11 and one in Green Bay being nine and three, being a division game, Detroit's a little banged up on the defensive side of the ball.

Speaker 3: I think that and I got, I got Jordan Love and what's his name, the tight end for the Packers. See, he's been crushing it. Tucker craft. Yeah. He's been he's been doing really well for me. Like having them together actually has been playing in my favor.

Speaker 1: So I got golf, Gibbs and a Mon Ross, St. Brown playing tonight. So, OK. You know, we were rooting for fantasy, but obviously, like I said, I would take the Packers Money line.

I just think it's one of those games that kind of evens up the division race and puts everyone in a position to be able to compete for it at the end. So right. Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, yeah. For for my fantasy, like the way I remember the rule is don't flush. Oh, the one over here. Oh, yeah. Just don't just don't flush, dude. Yeah. How was your flow? Did you have a good little bath and break?

Speaker 1: Yeah, solid. No, no kidney stones. No, not at all. I think that one real quick. Yeah. But yeah, not. It is a little short episode.

Speaker 3: Yeah, you got a busy month coming up. So we're going to be doing these

Speaker 1: quickies trying to get them in whenever we can. I mean, some of them might go a little bit longer. Like, yeah, I mean, I want to say I'm off next Thursday, too.

Speaker 3: OK, well, that's yeah. When everything else perfect. So yeah, we'll keep doing these and we'll have we'll be experimenting.

Speaker 1: Like we said, yeah, with more, you know, video. Yeah.

Speaker 3: So even if, yeah, when you get here, or we'll get here like way earlier and really try to set it up and not rush it. And we'll we'll play and play around with the multi cam and stuff like that. We'll be able to get the shit right.

Yeah, it's trial and error. This is like the beauty of it. Like when we look back six months from now, we talked about that. Yeah. So I mean, as we say, flex the drip.

Ex the jury. I mean, if you haven't seen it, watch trolls three, brozone. OK, it's just it's just too good. Kid Cudi, when you go to a place, you got to flex the drip is what he says. And he wears the Argyle, which I fucking love. But all right, man, this is always a pleasure. Always a great time. And if you got any last words,

Speaker 1: man, look, just saying, I appreciate everybody that tunes in everybody that will tune in the future as we continue to build this, man, just keep sticking with us, dog. We go. Yeah, we're going to keep improving.

Speaker 3: We're not going anywhere. Not at all. Yeah. We're going anywhere. So be beware and don't worry. We'll be having some some really cool merch. We're going to I'm that's going to be the big one, too. We're going to have our I was thinking varsity jackets, too. Every which would be dope to have. That would be cool.

Yeah, I think I think sunglasses and varksy jackets. But all right, guys, again, this strikes on the end of podcast. Trey Ballard, your host, producer West. That's me and coming from second floor series. You guys have a good one. And as I always say, big kisses. Yeah, big kisses. Hell yeah.

Speaker 2: Fuck with me. You know I got it.
