[00:01:02] Speaker B: All right, so now let's take a look back at the card from this past weekend. UFC Vegas 79. Main event. Fizzev Gamrot. This main event kind of ended the way nobody wants a fight to end with an injury from Fizzev. How'd you see this fight going before the injury? [00:01:19] Speaker A: Honestly, on this one, I thought Fizziev was going to win middle to late round TKO. His third to fourth round TKO was what I was hoping for. [00:01:29] Speaker B: Yeah, he was the slight favorite coming into the fight. [00:01:33] Speaker A: And honestly, in the first round, he held that kind of advantage. [00:01:36] Speaker B: Yeah, it was a competitive first round, but I think you would say, too, it favored Fizzev slightly. Ten nine. [00:01:44] Speaker A: Right. That could also favor the drinks sometimes. But I think personally, he had more significant strikes or more powerful significant strikes. So, honestly, I agree with the preliminary scorecards, as you would say. [00:01:58] Speaker B: And at the end of the day, what does it matter? [00:02:01] Speaker A: No, because in the second round, I mean, honestly, Gamrot did come out in the second round a bit more aggressive, trying to do his work. Yeah. [00:02:11] Speaker B: By no means was he, like you would say, even losing the fight. It was just a slight advantage for Fizzev. Right. [00:02:16] Speaker A: And gamerot's smart doing that. He doesn't want to go too down too early. It's a five round fight. You don't want to be in the fourth round, being down two, having to win both or knock out just to have a chance. So smart game plan by him trying to come out strong, early. And then Fiziev threw a kick. The knee not the kneel, the knee buckled, turned awkwardly, he fell to the ground, and they stopped the fight. Gamerot TKO via knee injury. [00:02:46] Speaker B: Yeah, and I think today that he confirmed physiev, that it's a ACL tear. [00:02:52] Speaker A: Which is unfortunate, very unfortunate. Good timetable. And in football, that's a six season ending, right? It's a season ending. Six to eight month recovery window. [00:03:02] Speaker B: That's not even that bad for a fight. Honestly. No fighters go longer when they're not injured. [00:03:07] Speaker A: Sometimes he just takes the L here. It's just unfortunate. [00:03:10] Speaker B: Everybody wants he had the tough fight against Gaethje. He lost the fight by decision. And then he had a fight in like this. [00:03:19] Speaker A: Two respectable losses for him at least. Yeah, I would say moving out. Gamrock called charles oliveira out. Now Olivera has to fight Islam for the title. So I only see one way that working out. [00:03:33] Speaker B: Islam wins and Charles is off of a loss. [00:03:36] Speaker A: Correct. Because Gaethje's already lined up. [00:03:37] Speaker B: There's no way. Nothing bad in this fight. You don't get a title fight from this when you're in the lightweight division. [00:03:46] Speaker A: Even so, Gamrot said he wasn't ready for Islam. So, I mean, added to that, you're saying I'm not ready, so let me get somebody else. Give me the loser is all he wants. He just doesn't want to fight Islam. [00:04:02] Speaker B: Yeah, but yeah, that fight I only see that fight happening if Charles loses. [00:04:06] Speaker A: But other than that, maybe Benil Darush. [00:04:10] Speaker B: Maybe Darous. That wouldn't be a bad fight. [00:04:12] Speaker A: It's not going to be Poirier. [00:04:13] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't think Poirier would take the fight. He just said he wants, like, big name legends, pretty much. [00:04:18] Speaker A: It's either that or he's moving up. [00:04:19] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:04:20] Speaker A: Lightweight. So crowded, so hard to contend, and there's no such thing as a gatekeeper in the top ten. They're all just murderers. And I say that, I think, almost. [00:04:29] Speaker B: Weekly, but yeah, you can't say it enough. [00:04:32] Speaker A: Yeah, it's true. The comain event for UFC Vegas 79 was in some ways a two on one with Bryce Mitchell and Jesus in his corner fighting Dan e Gay. [00:04:45] Speaker B: Yeah, a little unfair when you got Jesus on your side, dude, when you. [00:04:48] Speaker A: Walk out with a Holy Bible and scream freedom at the top of your. [00:04:52] Speaker B: Lungs, it was honestly like, that is crazy. It was like a jaw dropping yeah, it was like, what is he doing? [00:05:00] Speaker A: I didn't know what to we've never. [00:05:02] Speaker B: Seen anybody do something like that, I don't think. [00:05:04] Speaker A: And we've seen various religions do their own sense of whatever they felt necessary. [00:05:12] Speaker B: I've never seen a dude come out with correct me if I'm wrong with the Quran and do that or the Tour or anything. [00:05:17] Speaker A: Yeah, I've never seen that. Granted, I also see Holy Bibles in every hotel room in the world. [00:05:26] Speaker B: But the way Bryce Mitchell won this fight, you might want to start doing that. Because if you got Jesus on your side, he came out and it was a close fight, back and forth. [00:05:36] Speaker A: But I'm going to say I think. [00:05:37] Speaker B: He was the obvious winner. [00:05:38] Speaker A: I'm going to say it with that second round doctor stoppage. He let Jesus take the wheel and I swear he was praying the whole time, like, listen, let me just fight. Let me fight, let me fight. [00:05:50] Speaker B: Yeah, his eye was pretty messed up and is pretty messed up if you've seen a recent video of him. [00:05:53] Speaker A: Yeah, look, it's a good clean shot when you just bloody the dude black and then bloody the dude's eye on. [00:05:59] Speaker B: But if you fight Bryce Mitchell, you know, his whole game plan is going to be to dominate you on the. [00:06:03] Speaker A: Ground and he did 15 takedown attempts. He scored five of them. [00:06:07] Speaker B: That's how he won the fight. [00:06:08] Speaker A: Correct. He won the fight with a lot of ground control. Like I said, five out of 15 takedowns a lot of Jesus. But overall, the judges, me and you both saw it the same way. 30 27. [00:06:19] Speaker B: Nasty is not a good it does not fit him. [00:06:22] Speaker A: No, you're right. 30 272-928-2928. But yes, thug nasty does not fit. Maybe we should do a poll. [00:06:29] Speaker B: Jesus freak. [00:06:30] Speaker A: What should Bryce Mitchell's new nickname be after his performance at UFC Vegas 79? [00:06:38] Speaker B: I don't know. [00:06:39] Speaker A: The Martyr? [00:06:41] Speaker B: No, he's not really a martyr. He's more like on the offensive. [00:06:44] Speaker A: Crusader is good. [00:06:45] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:45] Speaker A: I like crusader. We'll throw it up on a poll on Twitter or something. [00:06:48] Speaker B: See, he's moving up the rankings. I mean, what was he ranked coming into this fight? Like 14? [00:06:53] Speaker A: I think it was 14, something like that. [00:06:55] Speaker B: So he might be looking at a top ten fight coming up next. [00:06:59] Speaker A: Yeah, featherweight. Who do we have in the top ten at featherweight? [00:07:02] Speaker B: I mean, I don't think he's close to a title shot, so I wouldn't say, like, Max Holloway, Volkanowski. I mean, Brian Ortega hasn't fought in a while. [00:07:12] Speaker A: Yeah, that's two brown guys. [00:07:14] Speaker B: It'd be like, who's better on the ground trying to think? [00:07:18] Speaker A: He didn't have a call out. All he did was donate money to. [00:07:21] Speaker B: Dan Ege and also said that a direct energy weapon started the fire in Maui. [00:07:26] Speaker A: Yeah, he's a flat earther. Maybe there's a blog about Bryce Mitchell coming out this week. [00:07:31] Speaker B: That thing if he was you. He was talking to Michael Bisbing. He's like, Can I use this moment to pray? And he mentioned in his prayer the direct energy weapon in the Octagon. And Bisbing was just like, nope. Do it. [00:07:47] Speaker A: Gotta pull it, son. Yeah. So Bryce Mitchell moving up. Danny Gay, you never know what's happening with him. He could come back. He could make another run. [00:07:54] Speaker B: He's one of those guys, like, I don't think he's in title contention, but a lot of guys like, he's a tough fight for anybody. [00:08:00] Speaker A: Gatekeeper, I guess. [00:08:01] Speaker B: Next fight. We're going to cover marina Rodriguez, michelle Watterson, gomez. Maybe the most lopsided fight of the night. Rodriguez just literally, from the start, right away, just dominated this fight. Beat her up. I think it was a ten eight first round. Yeah, it was literally like first, like 15 seconds. [00:08:20] Speaker A: It was brutal. I thought we were going to see a first round stoppage. [00:08:25] Speaker B: It was very close. Michelle Watterson was beat up. [00:08:28] Speaker A: It was she escaped. She got a takedown early in the A. Look, admittedly, she's a fighter. [00:08:34] Speaker B: She fights back. She's not just going to give up. [00:08:36] Speaker A: Right. She was aggressive. She fought back. She tried, but Marina Rodriguez went into this rematch with a purpose. [00:08:46] Speaker B: She way different from the first fight. [00:08:47] Speaker A: Oh, dude, it was way more brutal. [00:08:49] Speaker B: Yeah. It was just like rodriguez was like, she's not on my level. Decided that and proved it. [00:08:55] Speaker A: She single handedly decided that their careers are going in two different directions, two very different directions. So it was a very brutal fight. Ten eight. First round, second round. Coming in. Doctor stoppage. They checked walterson. Gomez said, Look, I can fight. You're not going to be the one to stop it. Rodriguez is going to be the one to stop it. And Rodriguez stopped it shortly thereafter, finishing the fight by TKO. It was only Waterson's Gomez's second TKO in her career. But we were talking previous to this fight, you said it was her fourth loss in a row. [00:09:29] Speaker B: Fourth straight loss, and she's lost six out of seven. Her only win in that was the first fight against Rodriguez. [00:09:34] Speaker A: You know what I think? Female Ferguson. [00:09:38] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, it's kind of a lot, but she was never at. I don't think she was ever at the height Tony was at. [00:09:44] Speaker A: But it's hard for a woman fighter, though. [00:09:46] Speaker B: It's a different kind of know that's when I don't know. I would like to not see her fight again. No disrespect to her as being more of a fan of her. [00:09:58] Speaker A: Yeah, I'd like to see her she. [00:10:01] Speaker B: Doesn'T need to go out there and just get dominated like that. Nobody wants to see that. [00:10:04] Speaker A: Right, exactly. I'm a fan of her, so I don't want to see her get beat in a dominant fashion. I agree. It was a great performance for Rodriguez. Obviously. I think she deserves a tougher matched opponent in her next fight. I honestly couldn't even think of who that would be next. The women's divisions are that straw. [00:10:27] Speaker B: It's might be grosslo. Shevchenko again, it will be that first. The division's not deep right now, so you only need to be, like, on a two or three fight win streak to get a title consideration. [00:10:39] Speaker A: But that's the problem, is you have Grasso Shevchenko. They have to finish a trilogy. [00:10:43] Speaker B: But then you already already have, I guess. Buenos Silva. She kind of fucked herself with the drug test. [00:10:49] Speaker A: Yeah. But she'll only be out for six months, so the field might clear. [00:10:57] Speaker B: She's right up there, and I don't think Rodriguez is ready for that level yet. [00:11:01] Speaker A: No, she needs a top ten. [00:11:04] Speaker B: Rose fought at 125 her last fight against Frau. There's a first fight at it. [00:11:08] Speaker A: Right. [00:11:09] Speaker B: So she could stay there. You never know, because it was a close fight. [00:11:12] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:11:12] Speaker B: But I don't think any of those girls are I think Rodriguez probably needs one more win before she gets to that level. [00:11:17] Speaker A: Big pecking order for the title shot, especially with no clear winner in the. [00:11:22] Speaker B: Last bout, we saw four women. That legit can be like, hey, I. [00:11:28] Speaker A: Just beat the shit out of somebody. [00:11:29] Speaker B: I need a title shot. Like, I deserve a title shot, which is a good place to be. [00:11:32] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:11:33] Speaker B: A hungry field after, like, six or seven. The talent level kind of drops off in that division. [00:11:39] Speaker A: It does. So I'm excited the women's division is heating up. Or honestly, I guess we could say it's already on fire. Because if we'd have had a decision last couple of weeks with the grasso fight, we'd already have the lineup fights. [00:11:53] Speaker B: Because you know who's getting title shot and then who fights the next title shot. Right, exactly. [00:11:59] Speaker A: So good looking out for the women's division. I'm excited to see him go forward. [00:12:03] Speaker B: All right, so the next fight, brian Pooh Bear battle. AJ. Fletcher. Fletcher a Louisiana guy, so I think we both came into the fight rooting for him, and he had a good first round. I would say he had not solid, but it was a slight advantage. Ten nine. Probably him. Could have gone ten nine either way. Back and forth, both guys kicking, both guys punching. But second round, Battle forced the mistake, got him to the ground, and then from there got the choke. [00:12:30] Speaker A: Yeah. Battle losing the first round wasn't really an issue for Battle. His coach gave him a game plan, evidently, in his minute break, and he came out, used it very effectively, poured on some damage. I mean, if you're Fletcher with a ten inch reach disadvantage, shortest arms in. [00:12:52] Speaker B: The division, he has to get on the inside. And Battle is like a tall, lanky dude. [00:12:56] Speaker A: Right. So it was kind of a clash of fate as it was with somebody who can grapple. Like Battle getting some damage in on Fletcher. He forced the shoot, and then, of course, from there, forced a mistake getting the rear naked choke, getting Fletcher to tap. [00:13:13] Speaker B: Battle moves to five and one in the UFC. So he's definitely a guy. I mean, he's approaching that contender status, I think rank status, or at least a rank fight. Fletcher one in three now in the UFC. I mean, he's had close fights, but it seems like that's a tough way to start. I hope they give him another chance in the UFC, but I'm not sure where he goes from here. [00:13:36] Speaker A: No, I wholeheartedly agree. It's tough when you go one in three in anything, I guess, unless you're in baseball, that's pretty damn solid. [00:13:46] Speaker B: One, four, three. [00:13:47] Speaker A: Yeah, one, four, three, even. [00:13:48] Speaker B: One in three, one wins, three losses. [00:13:51] Speaker A: Isn'T very solid, so I don't know. There's a lot going on in welterweight, though. Top ten, we have Vicente Luque already challenged up with Ian Gary. [00:14:02] Speaker B: For the future, I'd say Brian Battle probably like he fights who's like, 1415. [00:14:07] Speaker A: Would be a Neil Magni. He's available to fight. Michael Kiesa just lost. [00:14:11] Speaker B: Both those guys just lost. So I wouldn't mind him fighting either one. [00:14:14] Speaker A: Or you could go up to a 13. Kevin Holland, who just lost. As he said, I just fucked that up. He may want to come out, get some domination. And it's not to say that Brian Battle is going to lose, but it would be a tough fight for both guys. [00:14:30] Speaker B: It'd be a tough fight, but it would be definitely a fight worth taking for Brian Battle. [00:14:33] Speaker A: Even a Sean Brady having to draw out from earlier in the year. But I think Sean Brady did just get booked. I left to confirm opening up the main card. We saw Ricardo Ramos fight with his crazy style UFC game character style, in my opinion. [00:14:52] Speaker B: Yeah, definitely like a video game. How you fight in video games? [00:14:55] Speaker A: How I fight, specifically? Anyway, taking on Charles Air Jordan, he really took it on. Like Michael Jordan this time. He surprised me. I picked him, but he still surprised me. He dunked on Ramos, like you just said, forcing Ramos to shoot a takedown early. From there, he saw a clear opportunity to just lock in that very deep rear naked choke. He cut off all the angles, did the right things, and Ramos lost in the first round. [00:15:29] Speaker B: Ramos looked like a guy. His last fight before this was June 2022. [00:15:33] Speaker A: Yeah. Taking a long time off. [00:15:35] Speaker B: He kind of looked like it seemed like Jordan had the advantage there. [00:15:40] Speaker A: You said a term I hadn't heard before a few weeks ago. What was it? Cage rust. What was it? [00:15:46] Speaker B: Ring rust. With the ring boxing cage rust, I guess you could say in MMA Oxygon. [00:15:53] Speaker A: Oxidation, something like that. [00:15:55] Speaker B: Just when you're out of the Octagon, you're not fighting for a while. Like, in a real fight, I like it. It's hard to remember. Get back in the flow of like, okay, this is what a real fight is like when everybody's going 100%. [00:16:07] Speaker A: Right? Yeah. This wasn't a spar, obviously. This was Ramos's first submission loss since. [00:16:13] Speaker B: 2016, which I think points more to that fact. Like, yeah, that time off didn't help in this case. [00:16:19] Speaker A: You need to stay active in the UFC to stay number one on top of your game, but number two, you need to stay on top of coming up, too. [00:16:27] Speaker B: The viewers but Jordan, this was a big win for him. Six five and one now in the UFC, so he officially more wins than losses, which never a bad sign. [00:16:36] Speaker A: Yeah, I like that he's had the opportunity to kind of redeem himself, all those losses. [00:16:41] Speaker B: He's still only 27 years old, too. [00:16:42] Speaker A: Right. I don't think he has a top five opponent coming up. Your number 15 in that division is Leron Murphy. [00:16:49] Speaker B: Yeah, definitely not. Top five, I don't think. [00:16:51] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:16:51] Speaker B: Ranked. [00:16:51] Speaker A: And number 14 is Alex Casseris. [00:16:54] Speaker B: I still think he's a couple wins. Six five and one. That's not great. He's got to get, like, two or three wins in a row before he gets a ranked opponent, I believe. [00:17:03] Speaker A: I agree. I hope to see him on Charles Jordan. I'm calling it now. We're going to see him on one of the December fight nights. [00:17:12] Speaker B: I could see that. All right, so the last fight we're going to cover from UFC Vegas 79, Dan Argetta, miles Johns. It ended with a Miles Johns. Was it unanimous or a split decision? [00:17:24] Speaker A: It was unanimous. [00:17:25] Speaker B: A unanimous decision. [00:17:26] Speaker A: I just don't agree with the exact score. I agree he won. I just don't think it was so like how the judges have it. 30 273-027-2928. I think he won 29 28. [00:17:37] Speaker B: Yeah, I would lean more 29 28, but I could see a way you could judge all three rounds for him. [00:17:42] Speaker A: Yeah, look, I'm not even arguing the win. I think it was kind of SHAFTY with how progressive and how aggressive Argetta was being the entire fight. [00:17:50] Speaker B: Yeah, because John's took a few hits. [00:17:53] Speaker A: Yeah, he got taken know he got not submitted. But he was an attempt. Right. Argetta attempted a few submissions, and some of know they were landing, but I agree, John's did more damage. Argetta wore more damage, which is significant when you don't have the exact stats that all the viewers and the fans have. So I side with the judges either way. I agree. One point differences. Yes. [00:18:23] Speaker B: Five and two in the UFC now. One four out of five. So he's on a little roll now, 14 and two now. So a nice win for him. Argetta, he came in to the UFC eight no and four UFC fights. He only has one win. So he's nine wins, two losses, one no contest. I mean, either way you put it, he had a no contest, and that's still not a good win percentage for him. He's got to win more, and he expected more out of himself coming in and defeated. [00:18:49] Speaker A: You're absolutely right. And look, if nothing else, he is his nickname, Dan Argetta. The determined is determined. So I do want to see him fight again. I don't know if he needs a better camp or he might just had an off night. [00:19:05] Speaker B: It might just been one of those nights. [00:19:07] Speaker A: Correct. So I'd like to see him fight again. But Miles, John, obviously, on the up and up, has a great record in the UFC. I'm excited to see maybe another December card fighter. [00:19:26] Speaker B: All right, so this week on the top five segment, we return to themes. Last week, it was another UFC Vegas card in the apex, so we really didn't have a theme for it. We just went with worse people. [00:19:36] Speaker A: And this week, we don't even have fights. But somehow we have a theme. [00:19:40] Speaker B: Somehow we have a theme because we're leaning more heavily into football this week since there's no fights. And considering we live in the south and where we live, LSU territory, we thought it would be a good idea. Top five SEC things. So that's Southeastern Conference. All right, it's a wide variety. Top five, it could go any direction, as I think we're about to find out. But again, this week, the second week in a row, we're going to do the draft. [00:20:04] Speaker A: I think I like that. Better. What do you think? [00:20:06] Speaker B: I do too. I like not having the same things. It's always more of a competition, right? [00:20:10] Speaker A: And then we're going to poll it on social media. I think we actually tied last week, had a missed poorly timed post, but I'll fix that this week and then we'll get it on Twitter for anybody to see it there. We'll put it in a couple different places. [00:20:26] Speaker B: Yeah. So this week you get the first pick. I got the first pick last year and took Hitler last year, last week and took Hitler as the worst person. What's your top number one pick? One one top five SEC thing. [00:20:41] Speaker A: My number one SEC thing has got to be LSU. [00:20:45] Speaker B: God damn it. [00:20:46] Speaker A: I like LSU. You put me onto LSU, I'll say a fateful time. The only season, or the season, I should say I saw LSU the most was 2019. [00:20:59] Speaker B: Joe Burrow literally changing my life that season. [00:21:02] Speaker A: That was crazy. I watched a few games with you. It was history, that team. [00:21:09] Speaker B: And then all the key players have had pretty good success in the NFL. [00:21:14] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm a fan of all of them in the it's, it's great. So my number one overall is the LSU Tigers. [00:21:21] Speaker B: I mean, I can't dog you because literally that's my favorite. If I had to pick one sports team and one sport to follow, it'd be football. It would be LSU football. So I can't can't even argue with that. One one. I think that's a very good one. One pick. [00:21:34] Speaker A: And look, I know they haven't won as many titles as Alabama or they're not always that dominant, but they are an hour from here, but they are. And we see a huge fan base. [00:21:52] Speaker B: At least top ten, probably top five programs. [00:21:54] Speaker A: Right. And even though I haven't followed them, it's still a top five, three titles since 2000. [00:22:00] Speaker B: That's pretty good. Three national, I like it. [00:22:03] Speaker A: Number one, baby. [00:22:04] Speaker B: Yeah. I'm going to defend LSU all day, so I really can't be mad at you for that one. One. [00:22:09] Speaker A: But does that help me win is the question. [00:22:12] Speaker B: I don't know because I got a pretty good one one, too. [00:22:14] Speaker A: All right, what you got? [00:22:15] Speaker B: Top five most SEC thing. I put the national championship in football. They've won 13 out of the last 17 as a conference. The national championship. They win baseball national championships, they win women's basketball national championships. Since the year 2000, the SEC in the top four sports, baseball, basketball, women's basketball, football, those are the four biggest sports in college athletics. [00:22:41] Speaker A: I actually think I looked that up. SEC has won the most. You're right. 43 total across certain sports. [00:22:50] Speaker B: Yeah, but in those four sports, 31 compared to the Big Ten, which is the next biggest spender in those 20 years since 23 years. Since then, 2000, they've won two nuts. [00:23:02] Speaker A: Very dominant. [00:23:02] Speaker B: So currently they've won four straight, 13 out of less 17 football championships. That's four in a row as well. Four straight they've won four straight NCAA baseball championships as a program, and they've won two straight women's basketball. [00:23:16] Speaker A: So we're going to say the NCAA national championship. [00:23:20] Speaker B: The national championship. That's the first thing you think when you think SEC. I believe, I think, no matter the sport. Okay, so you think championship. [00:23:28] Speaker A: I'm going to go out on a limb here and I'm going to scratch one of my things off. But just to let you know what, it was kind of on my list. It was NCAA football, goats as a whole. The SEC is the goat. [00:23:45] Speaker B: I get it. I get it. [00:23:46] Speaker A: All right, so I'm going to scratch that and take that as what you took as your number one. [00:23:52] Speaker B: All right, so I get another pick. Yeah, we're doing a snake. [00:23:54] Speaker A: It's always a snake. [00:23:55] Speaker B: So my number two, I thought pretty hard about this one, and I think this one sums up the SEC well. And I'm going to put tailgating. [00:24:05] Speaker A: Damn it, that's on my list, too. [00:24:07] Speaker B: I think tailgating. No, LSU has great tailgating. I've been to several SEC stadiums. They've all had great tailgating. It's part of the culture. It's part of the game day experience. If you say, like, I'm going to an LSU game, you're going to be there early. You're being there from 10:00 A.m. At the latest till the game ends, like at 10:00 p.m.. And I will say it's an all day event. And that's almost at every SEC school. All 14 right now, about to be 16 next year. [00:24:36] Speaker A: I'll back that up in a different notion even. Imagine when you're not going to the game and you're near an SEC school, you can't be on the road. Yeah, there's traffic so bad. I mean, if we're anywhere near Baton Rouge, we're going the long way because it's 4 hours quicker in most cases. [00:24:58] Speaker B: Yeah, it's crazy. You drink, you get good food, you banter anticipation all day. It's one of the best experiences, and I think it's synonymous with the SEC. That's my second pick. So, so far I have national championship. One and tailgating. [00:25:17] Speaker A: Two and tailgating. I like it. I like it. So my number two, I think I'm going to go with another team here. [00:25:27] Speaker B: Oh, you're going teams, okay. [00:25:29] Speaker A: I think I'm going to go with another team. Kind of similar in the fashion of in the last 25 years. They've been pretty dominant forces. [00:25:39] Speaker B: If it's who I think you are, it's literally since the beginning of college football. [00:25:43] Speaker A: Well, I don't follow. [00:25:44] Speaker B: Last 20 years. [00:25:45] Speaker A: Well, then let's redact and say they've. [00:25:47] Speaker B: Always been a great program. [00:25:48] Speaker A: Alabama is a fantastic football program and they embody the SEC. If you say SEC, they are a name that just pops into your head. [00:26:00] Speaker B: You think I believe alabama, Georgia and then LSU. [00:26:03] Speaker A: Right. Those are always in the mix. [00:26:05] Speaker B: Auburn, Florida. [00:26:07] Speaker A: Right. I take Alabama because they, I mean, they're the most successful and in my recent memory, I don't watch college football that often. I'm getting into it, I promise. But in my history, all I can remember is that Alabama has been good. [00:26:22] Speaker B: And they have been in the past since we've been alive, pretty much. They had a few years down and the Nick Saban got there and look at them now. [00:26:29] Speaker A: That's all she wrote. So that's my number two, Alabama. So number one, LSU number two, sticking with another team, going with Alabama with Crimson Tide, right? Yeah crimson tide I've been nervous to say that this whole time. All right, so snaking it to number three. My number three SEC thing is the securities and Exchange Commissions, it shares the. [00:26:58] Speaker B: No, I hate that. [00:27:02] Speaker A: They have all. [00:27:04] Speaker B: Right, you're in charge of money. [00:27:05] Speaker A: I'll change the term of my third to insider trading. Fair. [00:27:10] Speaker B: That's fair. [00:27:11] Speaker A: I do like me some insider trading. [00:27:12] Speaker B: I'll allow it. SEC being how I got there, if you will. [00:27:19] Speaker A: It's a subcategory. [00:27:20] Speaker B: We get it. You have a pretty bad list so far, to be honest. [00:27:22] Speaker A: We'll see what the polls say. We'll see what the polls say. So insider trading is cool. We've talked about it maybe before, but I know we've talked about it in person. It's fueling the politicians bank accounts across America. They seem to get all the know how before we do, and then once we get the know how, the stock flips in the other direction. So insider trading is great if you're at the top. So top three SEC thing, insider trading, what you got for number? [00:27:52] Speaker B: I took it. I took this top five as literal as possible. So I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing, but I like your SEC pick. The Security Exchange Commission. [00:28:03] Speaker A: Yeah. The range of what it exists. [00:28:05] Speaker B: I appreciate it. My number three is going to be rivalry games. Top five SEC things. SEC has some of the best rivalries. Alabama, auburn, LSU, alabama, ole, mississippi state, georgia, auburn, georgia, florida, tennessee, florida. Like, you can keep going on some of the best, most historic rivalry games. And when you think SEC, I think those matchups, especially football, but they go deep into baseball, basketball as well. [00:28:37] Speaker A: That was definitely on my list. Honestly, the reason I didn't pick it as my number three well, two reasons. I thought it was going to drop to four and I was going to take it there, but I was super nervous about having to name the rivalries. [00:28:52] Speaker B: Yeah, I knew I kind of had that one on you. [00:28:54] Speaker A: So I didn't do enough research to have them at least written down. I could have used the time to Google it, but I didn't want to stumble across anything. So my bad on that one. [00:29:03] Speaker B: You're good. So my number four as we go to the Snake, my number four Snake is the athletic talent. SEC number four thing is athletic talent. When. You think, especially football, but it goes baseball, they get number one first round picks. Basketball, they do the same thing. [00:29:22] Speaker A: Okay, so you're talking recruiting when you think, is that how you want to label it? Because you don't have a talent. [00:29:30] Speaker B: Athletic talent. The athletic talent in the SEC is, bar none, definitely the most depth out of any conference. As I said, any sport you can look at. And they have elite athletes, they have guys that are going probably first overall, if not first. Definitely most of them. Top, like, most of the top five is usually from SEC schools. Any draft, major sports, athletic talent. [00:29:58] Speaker A: See, I was thinking you were going to go something along the lines of not draft, like NFL talent, but what's the same thing. But I was saying, like, recruiting from high school. [00:30:10] Speaker B: Yeah, they get that, too, but they. [00:30:11] Speaker A: Get so many more five star recruits than any other schools. [00:30:15] Speaker B: I just think pure athletic talent. [00:30:17] Speaker A: I like that. So it's my turn for my fourth, right? And then I go fifth and you'll finish it up with your last pick, right? [00:30:25] Speaker B: Correct. [00:30:26] Speaker A: Cool. [00:30:27] Speaker B: So three picks total left. [00:30:29] Speaker A: My fourth pick. I've been toying with this one a lot. Kind of goes back. It's when you become a fan of somebody. It's when somebody changes things for you. Watching that 2019 season really changed. Made me a fan of somebody. I've done everything I could to draft him in every fantasy football lineup I could. [00:30:54] Speaker B: Are you taking Joe Burrow? [00:30:55] Speaker A: I've never gotten him. It's Joe Burrow, number four. [00:30:59] Speaker B: So you pick my favorite player and team of all time. [00:31:02] Speaker A: Well, it's your fault for not picking, and this is a draft, sir. [00:31:05] Speaker B: You had the team, you picked first overall. You ruined the mojo. [00:31:08] Speaker A: I believe you had four other opportunities to pick Joey Burr, so I'm taking the Bengals superstar Joe Burrow, future hall of Famer, future 17 time Super Bowl winner, Joe The Burr. Burrow. [00:31:33] Speaker B: I hate on you for the pick, but I can't hate on the actual substance of the pick. [00:31:37] Speaker A: And also like him in the NFL, they need to figure it out in the first two weeks of every season, apparently. But he produces. He's made it far, way further than people thought they were going to be as early as he made it with them. So props to them. [00:31:53] Speaker B: Sure. What you got for number five? [00:31:56] Speaker A: The fans. [00:31:58] Speaker B: Fans is a good one. [00:31:59] Speaker A: The fans for the I had crowds. [00:32:02] Speaker B: That's kind of the same thing. [00:32:03] Speaker A: Yeah, the fans for the SEC, they back their team through thick and thin, regardless of what you see on social media calling for Brian Kelly's head. They don't mean it. They only want it that night. But Monday morning, they love that coach again. They love Saban again. No matter the loss, no matter the win, they back their team loyal. They're always in the gear, at the tailgates, at the games. Fans are the driving force of all things. That's why fans are on the top five SEC things for me, as a. [00:32:37] Speaker B: Fan myself, can't disagree with you. [00:32:40] Speaker A: There you go. What do you have for number five to finish it up? [00:32:43] Speaker B: So my number five, I think, is going to take the cake. It could have gone one one. [00:32:47] Speaker A: Dang. So you waited? [00:32:48] Speaker B: I didn't mean to, but I see it on the list, and I think it could have gone one one. My number five. When you think SEC, you think these prestigious old Southern colleges, I think there's one thing every guy thinks of, and that's the women of the SEC, the best looking girls, bar none. They're known for it. Southern Bells. They have a specific that's I'm going to go the women. I think a lot of people can agree on that. [00:33:16] Speaker A: Just women, right? [00:33:18] Speaker B: Women. [00:33:18] Speaker A: Women. [00:33:20] Speaker B: I mean, could have gone one one. You could make the case. [00:33:24] Speaker A: I can't argue that I like women. [00:33:27] Speaker B: And the SEC has women. Exactly. [00:33:30] Speaker A: Well, damn. [00:33:32] Speaker B: Checkmate. [00:33:33] Speaker A: I wouldn't say checkmate, but you got me in a corner. [00:33:39] Speaker B: You're fighting for your life right now. [00:33:40] Speaker A: Fighting for my life. Trying to breathe. [00:33:42] Speaker B: So there's our top five. The second time we've done a draft. [00:33:46] Speaker A: We're going to post this one on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, with polls or ways to comment below. Otherwise, just comment below. Who you think won it'll be Christian versus Alex? We'll figure out something as time goes on. Like a punishment. Know how to figure out what happens to the loser. But that's our top five for this week. [00:34:16] Speaker B: All right, in absence of the UFC this weekend, we're going to introduce a new segment. And it's not really a new segment, it's just more expanded of what we've talked about before. We're going to go a full football segment where we preview both some college games and some pro games. We'll probably do a smaller version of this when we actually have UFC cards, maybe do like, one or two games each. Today we're going to do a little more expanded version of our football segment. So we're going to have five games, both college, both NFL, and we're going to kick off with college. How we pick these fights? Fights. I'm sorry, I already missed the UFC. [00:34:49] Speaker A: You know what's crazy? I wrote the brackets the same way I wrote the same way I typically write a UFC fight. So I almost have it. Like in this corner, you have Utah Utes exactly. In quotes, just like I would do a fighter. [00:35:06] Speaker B: So how we picked the games is we picked all the ranked matchups, ranked versus ranked matchups. So there were four of those this weekend. And then we also know just an honor, we're fans both coach prime. We're going to cover the USC Colorado game as well, which is eight versus non ranked Colorado. So the first game we're going to start with is a game that's actually going to be Friday night. So it's the first game that's going to be played. It's. Number ten, Utah. Number 19, oregon State. A PAC Twelve matchup the last year of the Pac Twelve as we know it. This should be a good one. Utah has won the last two Pac Twelve championships, by the way. [00:35:42] Speaker A: So this confused me a good bit coming in because I always like to know my fighters weight class, which is smart. I know what pounds they're fighting at and their weight class so I can keep track of where they're at in the division. Everything like that. When I started searching the conferences of who these teams were in, oh, they're. [00:36:05] Speaker B: All major shift in the next year or two. [00:36:07] Speaker A: Dude, that blew my mind. So I was like, oh, is this Pac Twelve? Is this Big Ten? So this is Pac twelve for now. [00:36:15] Speaker B: For now. Utah is moving to the big twelve. [00:36:17] Speaker A: So in my little research here, Oregon. [00:36:21] Speaker B: State got kind of left. They got fucked with Washington State. They were the two everybody else in the conference went on to bigger conferences and kind of left them alone and they had to rebuild their conference now pretty much with small it's not going to be the same. [00:36:35] Speaker A: It'll be similar to the Sun Belt. [00:36:37] Speaker B: A little above that, but yeah, more or less. [00:36:39] Speaker A: Okay, so I got the Utah Utes four and heavyweight. No, I'm kidding. Four and o. They've beaten UCLA this year. Weber State, Baylor and Florida. [00:36:49] Speaker B: They opened the season with the winning of Florida. They haven't had their starting quarterback all year yet. [00:36:53] Speaker A: I also read that he could be coming back this week. [00:36:56] Speaker B: He could be and he's been the starter for the past two years when they won the Pac Twelve championship. So he's like a game changer and their offense has been struggling. [00:37:02] Speaker A: So the Beavers are favorited -165 currently. [00:37:06] Speaker B: Yeah, I think a lot of that has to do with it being at Oregon State right. [00:37:12] Speaker A: I think with the top quarterback option if Camrising comes back, I think it livens up the passing game. They've already had a pretty strong run game. Once again, this is all on my research. They've had better success on the ground than they have through the air without Cam rising so far. [00:37:29] Speaker B: Exactly. They've had trouble throwing the ball. [00:37:31] Speaker A: If they can switch that up with Cam rising, I know even though he might have a little rust behind him. [00:37:36] Speaker B: I think regardless of Cam rising plays, I think Utah is an experienced team that has a lot of talent and knows how to win games. Oregon State, I like them. They're coming off their first loss against Washington State last weekend. It ended up being 38 35, but they were down by I think like 21 points at one point in the game. So Washington State kind of let the gas off the pedal. So I don't think they played as well as that. Score suggest. So we'll see how they bounce back. I think Utah is just the more experienced team despite it being on the road. Despite that they might not have their quarterback again. I think they find a way to win a close, ugly game. It's minus three Oregon State, I would definitely go Utah plus three in this because I think they're going to win outright. [00:38:17] Speaker A: I mean, honestly, lock the bets in as early as you can on this one. They have them as a plus 140 line for Utah. I pick Utah in this game and I'm seriously thinking about placing the bet on it. [00:38:31] Speaker B: Yeah, that wouldn't be a bad decision. I don't believe. A dumb decision. All right. So the next game we're going to move on to, it goes back to your top five a little bit and how it was your pick and I said it was my favorite team. The LSU Tigers ranked 13 coming in three and one, two and O in the SEC taking on Ole Miss Rebels, number 20 coming off their first loss. They lost to Alabama last weekend so they're owing one in the SEC. This is a big game for both teams. I think LSU has had problems covering the pass. Ole Miss is a good team that can pass the ball. It's the best thing they do. LSU's offense is great this year. I think it's going to be a high scoring game. [00:39:10] Speaker A: Right. Looking through everything, I saw that LSU leads Ole Miss here in every important category but they also lead in yards allowed. So not very good on that one. But that kind of shows what you said. They've had trouble against the pass. They've had trouble allowing people to score on them. I think LSU is going to come out and win here. They have a slight favorite money line. [00:39:32] Speaker B: Of -130 the game is at Ole Miss too. So in Oxford, right, three and one for LSU. [00:39:39] Speaker A: They've beaten Arkansas, Mississippi State, Grambling State. They lost to Florida State. Ole Miss also three and one. They beaten Georgia Tech, Tulane and Mercer lost to Alabama. [00:39:50] Speaker B: Yeah. Coming off the loss last week, I. [00:39:51] Speaker A: Mean honestly, when you lose to Alabama in no means is that a credit. [00:39:55] Speaker B: I will say they were up 14 three at halftime. Final score, no ten three or something. Final score was 24 ten. [00:40:03] Speaker A: But two weeks ago Alabama was also down to Alabama State, ten to three at halftime. [00:40:09] Speaker B: I don't think that's true. [00:40:10] Speaker A: Yeah, because there was a rain delay. [00:40:12] Speaker B: South Florida. [00:40:13] Speaker A: South Florida, not Alabama State. Sorry. [00:40:15] Speaker B: Big difference. [00:40:15] Speaker A: Big difference. So anyway, I think LSU is going to come out here when they lead in all categories. It's LSU favored by two and a half current over under 66 and a half. I have to agree it's going to be a high scoring matchup. But I have to add, if anything I prefer that if I Google SEC, the division is stable. You don't have the Pac twelve just being blown up. [00:40:40] Speaker B: Well, they're adding two teams next year. [00:40:42] Speaker A: Right. But they're just absorbing. Right. [00:40:45] Speaker B: They're not losing anybody. [00:40:46] Speaker A: Right. It's not just blowing up a whole division. Like when I'm searching for everything that should have been in my top five is they are a stable long term. [00:40:57] Speaker B: Yeah. Most of the schools have been there since the creation in like the 20s. [00:41:01] Speaker A: Right. There's no need to change. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. [00:41:03] Speaker B: Yeah. I'll never pick against LSU. I think it's, as I said, a high scoring game. I think it's going to be like 45, 38. Like that high scoring. [00:41:11] Speaker A: That's over 66 and a half. [00:41:13] Speaker B: Yeah. And I think LSU gets the win. [00:41:16] Speaker A: So next, what do we have? We have USC versus the Buffaloes. UFC, you're missing much. [00:41:26] Speaker B: I'm so sorry. [00:41:26] Speaker A: All right, well, let me do this. So we have the number eight ranked USC Trojans taking California, the non ranked Colorado Buffaloes coming off Mollywap of Oregon. [00:41:41] Speaker B: That's the nicest way you could put it. [00:41:43] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:41:43] Speaker B: Oregon totally dominated them. [00:41:45] Speaker A: Coach prime took the loss in stride. [00:41:47] Speaker B: He did. [00:41:47] Speaker A: He finds a way to flip everything on its head. It's crazy how he just absorbs hate. It's that old thing of like, I'm rubber, you're glue, whatever you say to me bounces off of me and sticks to you. [00:41:59] Speaker B: Good at that. [00:41:59] Speaker A: He just got it hooked. [00:42:01] Speaker B: You're not going to catch him slacking. [00:42:03] Speaker A: Buffalo got stomped. [00:42:04] Speaker B: The Buffaloes. [00:42:05] Speaker A: The Buffaloes. Sorry I missed the bills. Colorado. The Buffaloes got stomped. And honestly, it's a win for them this whole season. They had one win last season, so it's an up and up season. [00:42:19] Speaker B: Vegas thinks this game is going to be similar to that Oregon game. [00:42:22] Speaker A: Trojan line. At -2000 money line. [00:42:25] Speaker B: Oregon was 21 point favorites against Colorado. Like going into the game. USC 21 and a half point favorites against Colorado. [00:42:32] Speaker A: I would argue that this is the Buffalo's toughest competition. Yet. [00:42:37] Speaker B: Oregon's pretty damn good. [00:42:39] Speaker A: I think the Trojans are better. Now. Granted, I am tanking in my dynasty fantasy league to get Caleb Williams so. [00:42:46] Speaker B: That'S I have a hot take. I think Caleb Williams is severely overrated. [00:42:51] Speaker A: Well, I hope you're wrong. [00:42:53] Speaker B: Just throwing that out there. [00:42:55] Speaker A: All right. [00:42:55] Speaker B: But yeah, USC, Colorado, I still think. [00:42:58] Speaker A: How do you think this is going to end? [00:42:59] Speaker B: I think it's going to be probably not as dominant, but I think USC is going to they prove oregon proved just the Colorado just doesn't have the depth right now. They don't have the offensive line they don't have the defensive line. They have some playmakers, injured playmaker. If you don't have the guys in the middle, the big guys that can push like on the line, get some surge, you're going to struggle. They can't protect Shadir Sanders. I think USC, I'm thinking like a score like 35 ten. Yeah, it's going to be a 30, 517, maybe okay. [00:43:35] Speaker A: Now I will say I'm pulling for Colorado though. I've seen the trojans give up some points to some less than perfect teams this season. [00:43:43] Speaker B: Yeah. But I think the thing is what Oregon proved is Colorado has so much attention, which is good for them, right. But everybody's going to come in being like they're going to be on their a game, right. [00:43:52] Speaker A: Everybody has to come in prepared because that's the thing with the Buffaloes, they can catch you slipping and if they do well they may win the game. [00:44:00] Speaker B: Exactly. [00:44:01] Speaker A: So I still pick USC here. I think Caleb Williams is going to look to capitalize on the not crippled but the definitely hurt offense of coach Dion, coach Sanders, prime, Sanders, optimist prime, whatever you want to call them, prime. [00:44:18] Speaker B: Energy drink, however you say it, I'm taking USC. Me as well, unfortunately. I hope Colorado wins. I hope I'm wrong, but that would. [00:44:24] Speaker A: Be crazy if mean I'm going to put probably half a unit on there. [00:44:32] Speaker B: Probably not a bad decision. So we're going to move back to a ranked versus ranked opponent. We have number 24, kansas Jayhawks. Kansas, finally good at football after only being good at basketball for so long, taking on the number three. Are they back? Texas longhorns a big twelve matchup, early season, big time big twelve matchup with both teams looking like they could make a run at the title if things go well for them. This is an interesting game at Texas. Texas, 17 point favorites, which is kind of shocking to me. [00:45:05] Speaker A: You think it's shocking? Look, this is almost an outside looking in because I don't know anything about either one of these teams until I googled them today. But when you tell me a ranked three versus a ranked 24 is going to win by 17 and a half, I believe it. [00:45:22] Speaker B: Yeah, but the rankings this early in the season, we don't know how good these teams are. [00:45:25] Speaker A: Well, I'm telling you it's an outside looking in perspective. I don't know. So what I have is I think it's going to be a tough matchup for Jalen Daniels. [00:45:34] Speaker B: That's LSU. [00:45:35] Speaker A: Jalen not Jaden. Jalen is the Jayhawks quarterback. [00:45:39] Speaker B: You're right. [00:45:40] Speaker A: I know because I looked it up. [00:45:41] Speaker B: Oh, no. All right, so Jay got me on that one. [00:45:44] Speaker A: Jalen Daniels misheard is with the Jayhawks. He's the 24th ranked team, the quarterback of the team. Texas has scored less points per game so far while the jayhawks have had a better run game. Kind of better controlling with the run. [00:46:00] Speaker B: Texas play better teams, though. [00:46:03] Speaker A: I don't think that's going to be enough. I think Texas wins I think it's -900 for a reason because those upsets don't happen often they happen in college football. [00:46:13] Speaker B: But I think it's going to be a close game. I think it's going to be close in 17. [00:46:16] Speaker A: Oh, Texas. Also beat Alabama. Yeah, but in my opinion if you beat Alabama you are Alabama is not the same. No. [00:46:24] Speaker B: See? [00:46:24] Speaker A: How was I looking in again? If you beat Alabama, you are. [00:46:27] Speaker B: God, I think Texas barely wins this one, though. [00:46:30] Speaker A: Oh, so you agree with me? [00:46:31] Speaker B: No, let me hear it. I don't. [00:46:33] Speaker A: Say it again. [00:46:34] Speaker B: I'm taking Kansas plus 17 as your pick. No. That's how I'm phrasing this fair. [00:46:41] Speaker A: All right. [00:46:41] Speaker B: I think it's going to be a close game. Kansas could sneak it out, but Texas ultimately gets the win. [00:46:46] Speaker A: All right. In our last ranked matchup for college football, we have the number eleven Notre Dame Fighting Irish coming off a loss against, literally, Ohio State. [00:46:56] Speaker B: Literally last second. [00:46:58] Speaker A: Yeah. That was crazy, right? [00:46:59] Speaker B: Touchdown going in. They only had ten guys on the field, too. [00:47:01] Speaker A: Now is Marvin Harrison Jr coming back? He plays for Ohio State, right? [00:47:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:47:05] Speaker A: Is he coming back this week? I forgot to look at him specifically. [00:47:08] Speaker B: I don't know. It's probably too early in the week right now. [00:47:11] Speaker A: Yeah. If he doesn't come back, I'd have to argue that they're going to be seriously dampened. [00:47:17] Speaker B: We're not looking at Ohio State. We're looking at Notre Dame. [00:47:19] Speaker A: Oh, notre Dame. Damn it. You got me back. [00:47:22] Speaker B: Sam Hartman, quarterback coming off the loss, right? First loss as a Notre Dame starter. [00:47:28] Speaker A: Yeah. So they beat Central, Michigan, NC State. That's that North Carolina state. [00:47:34] Speaker B: That's North Carolina state. [00:47:36] Speaker A: Sick. Tennessee State and Navy, not in my opinion. A huge repertoire of schools. I've heard of be good in the past. [00:47:45] Speaker B: NC. State's, not a bad win. [00:47:46] Speaker A: Okay. [00:47:47] Speaker B: Navy discipline. [00:47:49] Speaker A: The Blue Devils, they beat Connecticut, they. [00:47:51] Speaker B: Beat Clemson to start the year. They dominated Clemson. [00:47:53] Speaker A: They beat Lafayette, Pennsylvania. [00:47:55] Speaker B: Yeah. Lafayette College. [00:47:57] Speaker A: All right. And Clemson. Which? Clemson's? Good. The other know, whatever. For me, at least, this is a pretty interesting one. They are in the ACC, correct. Or is this another division that's blowing? [00:48:09] Speaker B: Duke is in the ACC. Notre Dame is independent, but they have a deal with the ACC where they play five ACC teams a year about, but they're not officially in the ACC. [00:48:17] Speaker A: Dude, what is college football? [00:48:19] Speaker B: Notre Dame is the only one that's like that. [00:48:21] Speaker A: Okay. [00:48:22] Speaker B: They want to be independent so they can control. [00:48:26] Speaker A: I think that Notre Dame is going to bounce back here against after their loss. I think they have a better offensive line. I think their better quarterback is going to be the key to the victory here. I just don't think Duke is going to be able to hang with them. I think Notre Dame is going to move to five and one on the season. [00:48:45] Speaker B: Yeah. I think it's going to be a close game, but I think I have to agree with you. I think Notre Dame, they proved Ohio State's one of the best teams in the country, probably. I think Notre Dame proved like they're right there with them. They lost literally last second, so I think they're a good team. Duke, they haven't been good. They've been good the past few couple of years after not being good in forever in football. But I think this is just going to show kind of, as you said, a talent gap between the teams. Duke's a good team, but Notre Dame I think, is a top ten team probably at the end of the day. So I'm taking Notre Dame and now. [00:49:19] Speaker A: Running directly in because we're not fighting anymore or at least we're not fighting this week. Running directly into our NFL preview, if you will. First I wanted to say fight, damn it. First matchup, first football game we're going to take a look at. [00:49:35] Speaker B: First NFL game. We just covered college. [00:49:37] Speaker A: Yeah. There you go. We're going to talk about Dolphins at the Bills. [00:49:43] Speaker B: I think this is the best the game I'm most excited for. [00:49:47] Speaker A: You got bills at home. They've favorited by three. [00:49:51] Speaker B: They've blown out the past two teams they've played. Their last two wins have been pretty dominant wins. [00:49:56] Speaker A: Kind of rocky start for Josh Allen. [00:49:58] Speaker B: They had a bad first game, but the last two wins have been nice for them. And then they're taking on the Miami Dolphins. [00:50:03] Speaker A: Dude right. Crazy. [00:50:05] Speaker B: They scored 70 points, literally. The NFL record are 72. They could have easily got a field goal or even maybe another touchdown. They took two out after three quarters, which never happens in the NFL. [00:50:15] Speaker A: Both running backs scored four touchdowns last week. [00:50:20] Speaker B: A chain had over 200 yards. [00:50:24] Speaker A: Yeah, mostert he had over 200 yards. I think he had two receiving and two rushing touchdowns. Mostert had, I think two receiving and two rushing touchdowns. [00:50:34] Speaker B: Tyree Kill had a game. [00:50:36] Speaker A: It's crazy with Jalen waddle. Yeah. [00:50:39] Speaker B: I mean, Tua right now is looking good. He's finally, if he can stay healthy, he's looking like and he's left handed. [00:50:45] Speaker A: So that's just even better that he's proving him wrong because I'm left handed. [00:50:50] Speaker B: He's finally living up to what a lot of people thought he could be. [00:50:54] Speaker A: So over under 53 and a half. What do you think is happening on that? [00:50:58] Speaker B: I think it's going to be a high scoring game. [00:51:00] Speaker A: I mean, 70 to 20, that's 90 points. Yeah, but you think they're going to cut that? [00:51:05] Speaker B: It wouldn't be surprising if you did. [00:51:07] Speaker A: Would you have like 17 to 14 final score? [00:51:11] Speaker B: I don't think anybody could be surprised, but I would take the over if I had to choose between the two. [00:51:17] Speaker A: Look, you have the always, I say always consistent. He hasn't been as consistent so far this season. Josh Allen, he's thrown four interceptions, only five touchdowns, but he always gets it done on the ground when he can't get it done there. He hasn't run as much. Maybe the coach needs to let know. Open it up a little bit. But Stefan Diggs has shown up as usual. Gabe Davis is showing up great. Got a couple tight ends. [00:51:45] Speaker B: Yeah. I think at the end of the day the home field advantage is really going to kind of be the deciding factor. I think it's going be to a very close game. I mean, that two and a half spread, I think is perfect. [00:51:53] Speaker A: Who do you have for your pick here? [00:51:55] Speaker B: My pick is going to be the Buffalo Bills. [00:51:58] Speaker A: The Bills? Honestly, I'm going to differ. I think I go with the dolphins. [00:52:04] Speaker B: I mean, I could see it either way, but I like that we differ on that one. [00:52:09] Speaker A: So for the second game, jumping directly into it, which one you want to talk about next? [00:52:14] Speaker B: So the next game, I believe we're talking about your favorite team next. [00:52:18] Speaker A: This has been hard to talk about for a few years, man. Definitely never talked about it on a microphone. [00:52:25] Speaker B: The Dallas Cowboys. [00:52:26] Speaker A: No. The Indianapolis Colts. The Dallas Cowboys are your favorite team? The Indianapolis Colts. I picked them because my dad's a Cowboys fan. Shout out to him for making the mic stands and the headphone stand. Priest grew up a Cowboys fan, didn't want to be that chose the Colts, watched Peyton Manning, watch him win a Super Bowl, watch him go to the Broncos, and then it turned to shit from there for quite a few years. [00:52:55] Speaker B: What are you talking about? He had the best season literally ever in the Broncos uniform. [00:53:00] Speaker A: I'm talking after Peyton Manning left for the Colts, turned to shit quite a few. [00:53:05] Speaker B: I went on a Peyton Manning tangent. [00:53:06] Speaker A: Everybody does. I know. [00:53:08] Speaker B: You're right. [00:53:08] Speaker A: Andrew Luck, you know, he was kind of poised to just be the best thing we ever had, and then he just kept getting hurt and hurt and hurt. Then we got retiree after retiree after retiree. [00:53:18] Speaker B: We got General Andrew Luck. You saw that? [00:53:22] Speaker A: Yeah. That was pretty cool. The Confederate soldier or whatever it was. [00:53:25] Speaker B: Or the yeah, Union. [00:53:28] Speaker A: I like I like the Colts in this matchup. [00:53:30] Speaker B: He definitely could not get away with dressing as a Confederate soldier. [00:53:34] Speaker A: Well, I mean, if he was in Canada, he could, right? [00:53:37] Speaker B: Canada only likes Nazis. Apparently. [00:53:39] Speaker A: Apparently. So the Colts are playing the Rams at home. The Rams are at home this week. Colts are favorited by one. And that just kind of screams to me that the Rams are as bad as I think they are. Matt Stafford I don't know what happened to the team that won a Super Bowl a couple years ago. They just completely the game's actually an. [00:53:59] Speaker B: Indie, by the way. [00:54:00] Speaker A: Oh, it is? So I got that one wrong. [00:54:02] Speaker B: You got that part wrong. But I think that's why the Colts the favorite. [00:54:06] Speaker A: That would make sense. [00:54:08] Speaker B: Slight favorite. I think it's kind of a Pickham game, honestly, dude, I even put home. [00:54:11] Speaker A: Game for the Colts right next to that. You should have read further. Damn. Over under 46 and a half. I think this is going to be a low scoring game. [00:54:17] Speaker B: Is it going to be Gardner Minshew. [00:54:18] Speaker A: Starting that's still verdict out. Anthony Richardson still in the concussion protocol. [00:54:23] Speaker B: If he gets in, he's dynamic, and he could put some points up. [00:54:26] Speaker A: Jonathan Taylor is still not running. We got a whole bunch of backups. [00:54:31] Speaker B: Do you think Jonathan Taylor ever plays for the Colts again? [00:54:34] Speaker A: I think he probably plays in the second half of the season for the Colts, actually. [00:54:38] Speaker B: I think he might try to force a trade. [00:54:40] Speaker A: If he does, the Colts aren't going to get anything near a first round for him. [00:54:44] Speaker B: No, especially not in the middle. [00:54:46] Speaker A: Not in a running back market like this, anyway. [00:54:49] Speaker B: Yeah, I see this being a game. As I said, I think it's a Pickham game. I think it's a indie team with a new coach. They're playing hard. They're actually playing pretty well. Two and one, right. On the disappointing Rams team. I think the veteranness of, like, Matt Stafford, if that makes sense. [00:55:04] Speaker A: Yeah, no, I agree with that. [00:55:05] Speaker B: And Sean McVeigh, they're going to be able to give the Colts a run for their money, but I think the Colts, the young, hungry team is going to figure it out in this game. I actually have the Colts winning. [00:55:14] Speaker A: I think the Colts are going to win as well. I think if Minshew plays a second week in a row for him is going to just kind of make know feel a little bit better with the offense. But if Richardson plays back no, he never plays bad when he gets an opportunity. [00:55:27] Speaker B: He's had some games where he's played bad. [00:55:29] Speaker A: Well, I meant at the beginning. He always starts off kind of on fire. He gets two or three wins, and then it's kind of like, oh, I played the Chiefs. Oh, I'm on the Eagles. But we're not good this year. There's been a few things where he's just shown that he's a perennial backup quarterback. If we get Anthony Richardson back, I hope we get him back at 100%. I hope he doesn't try to come back too early, because we can stand to have a loss right here if we have to. [00:55:57] Speaker B: Yeah. Your division is not very good. [00:55:59] Speaker A: Right. [00:55:59] Speaker B: We're the only team with a winning record underperforming Texans. Don't look bad. [00:56:05] Speaker A: They don't look great. [00:56:06] Speaker B: I don't think they're going to be no, they're just young. [00:56:08] Speaker A: Right. So I think the Colts are going to win here. I agree with you. They're my favorite team, but I got to ride with them. [00:56:15] Speaker B: All right, so the next game we're going to look at we went from your favorite team to probably both of our favorite players or player. One singular guy. It's the Cincinnati Bengals and Joe Burrow taking on the Tennessee Titans. Bengals finally got their first win. They still didn't do it pretty yesterday for Monday Night Football against the Rams that we just talked about, but they figured out a way him and Jamar Chase kind of got on the same page in this. Game, which is a good sign. [00:56:39] Speaker A: What's going on with T. Higgins? [00:56:41] Speaker B: I don't know. He had, like, two or three costly. [00:56:43] Speaker A: Costly the is it still called the yips in football? [00:56:47] Speaker B: That's more of a baseball thing, but I think it applies to football as well. [00:56:49] Speaker A: Man. Joe Burrow walked into this season thinking we had I know it's early, but we walked in thinking we had three almost guaranteed thousand yard receivers. [00:56:59] Speaker B: Jamar chasing Tyler Boyd's. Not playing bad. [00:57:02] Speaker A: Right. But once again, where's T. Higgins? He's not catching balls that are hitting him in the hands. [00:57:09] Speaker B: Yeah, he had a few key drops for first downs yesterday, but I got. [00:57:13] Speaker A: The Titans at home. [00:57:14] Speaker B: Something you can check me, I guess. No. It is in Tennessee Bengals, but the Bengals a two and a half point. [00:57:20] Speaker A: Favorite in Tennessee over under 41 and a half. I think this is the click factor of Joe Burrow. I think that leg injury from preseason training camp or whatever it was, I think that affected him more than they want to let you know. I think he hasn't been playing at 100%. I think he's getting closer. I think he's going to start connecting with his guys better. I think that chemistry is going to be back since he's been back at practice, not playing in preseason. Not practice injury in preseason. He's practicing the first three weeks of the season. We're lucky he got the win last week. All field goals. [00:57:56] Speaker B: Just yesterday, they scored with touchdown. [00:57:59] Speaker A: Yeah, but I mean, they're not playing that well, man. [00:58:02] Speaker B: But they had success in this game. They just had to finish the drives. [00:58:05] Speaker A: Right. [00:58:06] Speaker B: There was definitely things you can build on. [00:58:08] Speaker A: I think we see a bingles victory here. I think they're going to start clicking well, and I think we're going to hit an over. Honestly, I think we're going to get over 41 and a half. I think we're going to probably see two or three more two or three plus passing touches. [00:58:22] Speaker B: I got a Bengals, and I think it's going to be like a 24 20 game. Bengals, I think they get it done, though. They'll move to two and two after the O and two start, hopefully get things on track. As you said, hopefully Joe Burrow and his receivers start finding their groove consistently right. [00:58:38] Speaker A: Jumping directly from the favorite person to the other favorite team. Right. We're going to go Saints versus the Bucks. [00:58:48] Speaker B: Saints versus Tampa Bay. Yeah, I think this is a honestly, this game could go any direction possible. I think the Bucks, after a great start to the season, I have one. [00:59:00] Speaker A: Thing to say about the Bucks. [00:59:00] Speaker B: Thursday night or no Monday night, they played yesterday. I think that kind of was like it was a game where Baker Mayfield didn't have a great game, and it was like, oh, yeah, we forgot about this part of the game. I think wholeheartedly that might have killed their confidence. [00:59:16] Speaker A: That Baker's coming out and Baker gonna. [00:59:18] Speaker B: Baker you think the Bucks are gonna win this game? [00:59:21] Speaker A: No, I'm not talking dude, listen, baker Mayfield. [00:59:24] Speaker B: You mean that in a bad way? [00:59:25] Speaker A: Yeah. Baker Mayfield ain't on his 9th or whatever, NFL team because he's good. [00:59:31] Speaker B: It's not as nice like his second or third, whatever. [00:59:35] Speaker A: He ain't running around to all these different teams because he's a solid starting quarterback. He's been proven to be. Not that. [00:59:45] Speaker B: Yeah, I agree. I think they know that, too. But the Saints, on the other hand, derek Carr might not play. Even if he does. He hasn't. [00:59:51] Speaker A: What was the injury? Was it a shoulder? [00:59:53] Speaker B: Yeah, it was something with his shoulder. [00:59:54] Speaker A: Called it. That sucks. [00:59:56] Speaker B: Might not play. Even if he does, he hasn't been great. [00:59:59] Speaker A: No, but then James Winston better with LASIK. [01:00:02] Speaker B: Jameis Winston is not better. On the bright side, they do have Alvin Kamara returning and Taysom Hill's still there. Taysom Hill's still there. [01:00:10] Speaker A: You got Jimmy Graham caught a touchdown last week. [01:00:12] Speaker B: Jimmy Graham. They're starting. I mean, they got playmakers and they have a good defense. [01:00:16] Speaker A: Michael Thomas decided to come back because he thought he had a quarterback, but now he still has to play with Jameis Winston. [01:00:22] Speaker B: But I think the Saints figure out. [01:00:23] Speaker A: A way to savage move by Jamis. [01:00:25] Speaker B: I'm always going to pick the Saints, and I agree with you. I think Baker, he kind of showed a sign of what's to come against the I know they played the Eagles, but it was a Baker's going to Baker game. [01:00:35] Speaker A: Yeah. Listen, if you're not the solid star. [01:00:40] Speaker B: You let a white safety read him and pick him on a wide open throw. The guy was wide open. Like, come on, you were so late on it. [01:00:49] Speaker A: So I think Baker's gonna baker. That's the tweet I'm tweeting this week. Baker gonna baker for a saints. W. Lastly, what's the last game we're talking about? [01:01:01] Speaker B: The last game is probably the game that's gonna be it's sunday Night Football. People are gonna watch this not even for the game in this game. [01:01:10] Speaker A: They're going to watch it for the blowout. [01:01:11] Speaker B: No, they're going to watch it for who's watching the game in the stadium. This is in New York City. Kansas City Chiefs. [01:01:19] Speaker A: I think this is going to be the highest female it's going to be. [01:01:23] Speaker B: A game, and you know it's the game just like the Bear game, where they're probably going to come in. I know the jets have a good defense. I think the Chiefs win by, like, at least ten points. [01:01:35] Speaker A: The line is minus nine and a half. [01:01:37] Speaker B: They're going to do some things, and they're going to have success. There's going to be a lot of females. Women. I hate when people say female. There's going to be a lot of women. [01:01:45] Speaker A: They are female, though. [01:01:46] Speaker B: They are female. [01:01:47] Speaker A: Well, some of them, some won't be. [01:01:50] Speaker B: And honestly, there's going to be a lot of dudes watching for Travis Kelsey because of him and Taylor Swift. [01:01:55] Speaker A: Yeah, like Dave Portnoy. [01:01:56] Speaker B: Dave Portnoy Will 100%. [01:01:58] Speaker A: He'll be watching either way. But this is like a double interest for him. [01:02:02] Speaker B: Yeah. And I think this is going to be a game again where the Chiefs kind of they seem to have gotten on a roll. I think they continue their role. [01:02:10] Speaker A: Yeah, I agree. And I don't think the jets are going to be the one to upset them. [01:02:13] Speaker B: Do it, like in a showman's way where they do know there's some exciting plays by the Chiefs. [01:02:19] Speaker A: Right. I think the Bengals could come out regular season and beat them, something like that. But not the jets. [01:02:26] Speaker B: Not the jets without Aaron Rodgers. [01:02:28] Speaker A: Right. This is just the normal jets. [01:02:30] Speaker B: Yeah. This is the jets with Zach Wilson. [01:02:32] Speaker A: Which is not the jets we wanted. [01:02:34] Speaker B: Yeah. I think everybody's still disappointed in that. [01:02:37] Speaker A: Oh, well. So that's all our picks for the NFL don't fade them because they're all right. We're both going five and O here. Even though we have a difference, doesn't matter. That game will end in a tie, and that's considered a push. So let's go. [01:02:52] Speaker B: All right, so now let's go over what we're betting this weekend. We're both coming off a tough week last week to say, man, as soon. [01:03:02] Speaker A: As you said that, I looked up and I saw the board. Look, I know we don't want to do it. Let's just burn through it real quick. [01:03:08] Speaker B: Christian, I'm just saying, the record, I went Owen five. [01:03:11] Speaker A: I went one and four. We didn't do great on picks three and three. Admittedly, there was an injury in there, so we could have gone four and two each, but it wasn't nice. If you faded us, you won a good bit of money. [01:03:22] Speaker B: Yeah. And as Forrest Gump says and that's all I got to say about that. [01:03:27] Speaker A: Right. This week's bets with no UFC gives us a chance to kind of sniff the coffee, if you will. Kind of cleanse the palate some five football bets. Five football bets. We're not going to lose. We're not going on a losing record again. This is our time to make a stand. What's your first bet of the week, Christian? [01:03:48] Speaker B: So you want to do our college bets first? [01:03:51] Speaker A: Let's talk about all the college, and then we'll kind of not break, but we'll give you, like, a college. I have two as well. So two college. Then. [01:03:59] Speaker B: My first one is going to be Malik Neighbors, the LSU receiver. Anytime. Touchdown. [01:04:05] Speaker A: Okay. [01:04:05] Speaker B: The ODS haven't come out yet, but he has caught, I think, in four games he has five touchdowns. So over a touchdown a game on average. [01:04:12] Speaker A: I like it. [01:04:12] Speaker B: He's been hot. It seems like he's getting better as the season goes on. He's projected a first round pick next year. I think it's going to be a high scoring game. As we said when we talked about the game. [01:04:24] Speaker A: Right. [01:04:24] Speaker B: I think Malik neighbors anytime. Touchdown is dude, look, even if the. [01:04:28] Speaker A: ODS aren't out yet all the time, even if it's a favorite, it's at the most like 135. [01:04:34] Speaker B: Yeah, it's not going to be crazy, right. So that's my first college bet. What's your first college bet? [01:04:38] Speaker A: I got Utah moneyline. They're underdogs technically, they're like plus 140s here. [01:04:46] Speaker B: That's my pick. [01:04:47] Speaker A: I plan on locking this one pretty early because of that. I don't want too much money going on this thing to switch them to a favorite. But I'm locking in the Utah Utes money line at plus 140 as early as I can because I think that offense is going to trump the Beavers. [01:05:02] Speaker B: Yeah, they're my pick, so I took them as a straight up pick. So I like, that my second college bet. I'm taking the Notre Dame Fighting Irish with the points minus five and a half against Duke. They're at Duke. I think Notre Dame, as we said when we talked about it, just has more talent and I think they win probably by a touchdown. Ten points. [01:05:22] Speaker A: Fair enough. My last college bet, I took LSU moneyline. There's slight favorites here. I know we said that we're not taking our favorite teams, but that's a benefit of me not watching a whole lot of college. [01:05:36] Speaker B: Yeah, that's only a rule for me. I don't care if you do it or right. [01:05:39] Speaker A: So. But I typically won't bet on the Colts, so that's one of my things. I also try to follow it, but because I'm looking at a just ODS game here, I think we're going to get an LSU moneyline victory. I think they're going to beat the ole Miss rebels. Like I said before, they lead in all the important categories. I think they're just going to key things up on offense. Kind know mesh better than they've meshed before, if you will. [01:06:04] Speaker B: Yes. That's not a bad bet. I think they're going to win. [01:06:10] Speaker A: So NFL, I'm assuming you have three NFL. [01:06:13] Speaker B: Three NFL. And the first one. I'm going with is the Bengals. Moneyline -135 man, they got to start clicking. I think they're going to go into Tennessee. Get the win. Enough said. [01:06:24] Speaker A: And Tennessee? Dude, I don't know. [01:06:26] Speaker B: They're a team that can hang with anybody. But they can also get they're not very good, but they're also not very bad. [01:06:31] Speaker A: Right. It's weird because you got DHOP over there now, but you have a weird quarterback situation, weird running, running back situation with Derek Henry. Where he's getting older but he's still good. You never know what's going to happen with them. I agree. I like Bengals winning. I think T. Higgins, Tyler Boyd and Jamar Chase need to know. Lock in at practice this week, figure out a way to get T. Higgins off the Yips, get Joe mixing the ball and we'll get some positive yards on offense. I agree. They're my pick, so I back you. My first NFL pick is Vikings covering three and a half. So I think they're going to win two. [01:07:10] Speaker B: Worst teams in the Panthers. [01:07:11] Speaker A: Not the Bears. They're playing the Panthers. [01:07:14] Speaker B: Oh, you're right, the Bears are playing. [01:07:16] Speaker A: But they're also owing three. [01:07:17] Speaker B: I'm sorry. Bears playing the Broncos, right. [01:07:19] Speaker A: So they're also owing three. Both teams owing three. I think this is where Justin Jefferson goes absolutely off this game. I think the Panthers are a sitting duck for a big L against what. [01:07:35] Speaker B: We know is he came in and played pretty well. [01:07:37] Speaker A: Right. But it's kind of like the same thing I said about Baker Mayfield. You know what you got when you have Andy Dalton, you know the limits. That's why he's been on the teams. [01:07:44] Speaker B: He's been on backup a he was a solid starter for like eight years. [01:07:51] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't care. I think the Vikings are going to shred them winning by more than four. [01:07:56] Speaker B: Think I don't like the Vikings. So respect your pick. I don't think they also just picked. [01:08:01] Speaker A: Up another running back to they still have the team. They have Alexander Madison as well as who'd they just pick up. What was his name? I'll remember it after we finished broadcasting, I'm sure. What's your next NFL pick? [01:08:15] Speaker B: My next NFL pick? Christian McCaffrey. Anytime. Touchdown. I don't think I need to explain that one. It is what it is. He scores. I think it's like in twelve straight games or something. [01:08:24] Speaker A: No, look, I 100% see what you're doing and I respect every second of it. After the week we had last week, we just need some wins. Cam Acres is who the Vikings just picked up, so that could be a helpful addition to the running back department. [01:08:40] Speaker B: I don't think he's a difference maker. [01:08:42] Speaker A: So, yeah, we definitely need some wins. So. A heavy favorite. Christian McCaffrey. I agree. I think he's going to get that moneyline. Touchdown. I picked dolphins bills over. I think this is going to be a high scoring game. They have it at like 53 and a half. [01:08:58] Speaker B: I like the idea of a high scoring game, but for some reason something's telling me it's not. [01:09:03] Speaker A: Every time I see a matchup like this, you know, the game I think of that ridiculous Saints game where he had like just touchdown back and forth. It was like the whole game. Yeah, I can't remember who they played. Was it the giants? [01:09:17] Speaker B: 49 ers one time and they just. [01:09:20] Speaker A: 48 to 47, like final scores. That's all I can think about when I see high level teams like this is matchups like that. Honestly, I think they're going to think I think the Dolphins are going to win. Think they got the over? [01:09:35] Speaker B: Yeah, I think it's a possibility. Under hit. So I wouldn't touch that bet, but. [01:09:40] Speaker A: Fade me if you hate me. [01:09:42] Speaker B: My last NFL bet, I'm betting against the team. This is going to give you some ammunition. I'm taking Cowboys moneyline minus 280. [01:09:53] Speaker A: Got to go tell my dad. [01:09:55] Speaker B: Against the New England patriots at home. Yeah, the line seven right now. I don't think they probably cover seven just because it's the Cowboys versus the Patriots. [01:10:07] Speaker A: Yeah, and you never know what Bill can cook up for one game at. [01:10:10] Speaker B: Least, but I think the Cowboys figure out a way to get it done. Minus 285. [01:10:13] Speaker A: I got the Steelers beating the Texans money line as my fifth bet. Fifth and final, I think. CJ stroud, like we talked about earlier, I think they're not a bad team. I think they're just young. They got a surprise touchdown last week, a long touchdown last week out of which, you know, outside of that, they probably wouldn't have won that game, but they did, so I think the Steelers beat them this week. Kenny Pickett? Najee Harris. George Pickens. I think they take the dub. [01:10:46] Speaker B: All right, so that kind of wraps up our bets for the week, I think. Now we're going to move on to Q A with an N. Is that correct, Alex? [01:10:54] Speaker A: That sounds right to me. What you got for some news? [01:10:58] Speaker B: So, some news. The first thing since the last time we recorded, there's been a handful of great fights announced. Patty Pemblitt tony Ferguson ian Gary Vicente Luque davison Figueredo rob Font alex Poton Pereira yuri Prahachkov steven Wonderboy Thompson Shavkat Ramanov. I mean, and there's even rumor. Peter Yon versus Song Yedong. And these are all from here to the end of the year, pretty much November. December. I mean, those are all fights that I think any fight fan would tune in just to watch that fight. [01:11:33] Speaker A: All right. Yeah. So, look, question based on your first one, you got Patty Pimblet versus who again? [01:11:39] Speaker B: Tony Ferguson. [01:11:40] Speaker A: Tony Ferguson. So Tony Ferguson's, Owen Six, he's, in my opinion, like, 1ft in the grave at this point. I don't even understand why he's still fighting. [01:11:49] Speaker B: It's a winnable fight for him, though. [01:11:50] Speaker A: But it is. He's fighting Patty pimblet. [01:11:53] Speaker B: We don't know how Patty's going to come out and fight. [01:11:55] Speaker A: My question to you, sir are you ready to fulfill your promise even though Patty's the one who backed off of the fatty? An 8000 calorie meal for his next fight? [01:12:07] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, I think not a meal a day. [01:12:09] Speaker A: 8000 calorie day. [01:12:10] Speaker B: I think we could easily get that. [01:12:12] Speaker A: All right, so that's that question about your news. What's your next fight? [01:12:17] Speaker B: Ian Gary, Vicente Luque, man, who do. [01:12:19] Speaker A: You think is going to win that? I think Ian Gary is going to just piece Luque up. I think Ian Gary is that dude. [01:12:24] Speaker B: I think he's better than Luque, but he's not, like, championship dude. [01:12:29] Speaker A: Okay. [01:12:30] Speaker B: And then I have Davison Figueredo. [01:12:31] Speaker A: Rob Font is Davison Figueredo. [01:12:35] Speaker B: He's moving up to 135. [01:12:36] Speaker A: Yeah, but is he going to waste the next four years of Rob Font's life? [01:12:40] Speaker B: No, I think that is a one and done quadrilogy. That's a word. [01:12:44] Speaker A: Quadrilogy sounds good. [01:12:46] Speaker B: I'd watch that Star Wars movie if that's done. I think that's done. And that's out of his life. Okay. And then we have probably the fight I'm most excited for, potom versus Yuri Perhotskov. It's going to be this one war. [01:12:57] Speaker A: This is a fight of cultures. If this fight was set 600 years ago, these fighters would look no different. Yeah, it's crazy. I'm so excited for that fight. I have no questions for you with that. [01:13:10] Speaker B: And then Wonder Boy. Shofkot Ramanov. That's going to be a killer fight. [01:13:13] Speaker A: I know. I like watching Wonder Boy fight, and I've been itching for it since his last fight was canceled. And he's just been kind of he. [01:13:21] Speaker B: Feels getting paid double for this fight, too. [01:13:23] Speaker A: Well, yeah, because he didn't get paid. [01:13:24] Speaker B: For the yeah, but Dana said fuck him pretty much in the press conference. [01:13:28] Speaker A: But so those are awesome fights. [01:13:31] Speaker B: Do you have any bit of news? [01:13:33] Speaker A: We need to stop having injuries in the NFL. Another ACL tear, mike Williams, he'll be out for the rest of the season. Nick Chubb out for the rest of the season. But Aaron Rogers wants to come back for the playoffs. Assuming the jets couldn't make it. [01:13:48] Speaker B: Yeah, but that would also be, like, one of the fastest Achilles recoveries ever. And he's 39, so he can say that. [01:13:54] Speaker A: But you can say what you want before you have surgery. Surgery, yeah. But you're on recovery. And then Nick Chubb didn't tear anything but his MCL. I know it's still bad. It's a five month recovery, but the way it looked on film, it looked near career ending. [01:14:15] Speaker B: Yeah, that's very good news for yeah. [01:14:19] Speaker A: He won't play again this season, but he could be ready for next season, so props to him. We got a lot of college football coming up. I'd like to just say with news that Dion handles loss with, I guess, great. He's we said it before, but he just flips it back around on you. So it's pretty cool. Even that when you win, you kind of lose. Dion for that. [01:14:44] Speaker B: He's rubber. [01:14:45] Speaker A: And then lastly, the only little bit of news I got, or the last bit of news I got everybody's talking about it. You got Taylor Swift leaving Arrowhead with Travis Kelsey. Rumors kind of confirmed they're dating. They're at least hanging out. I don't know if I'm more excited for the relationship or for the next album after they break up to hear the songs about what Travis is really like. I don't know. What do you think? [01:15:14] Speaker B: I mean, it's everywhere. Everywhere you open. Like Taylor Swift. Travis. Kelsey. If this is just a stunt, bravo to Travis Kelsey. [01:15:24] Speaker A: What would your celebrity nickname for them be? You know how they have, like, Brangelina or whatever? [01:15:33] Speaker B: Brangelina off the top. [01:15:35] Speaker A: You gotta tweet it when you think about it. [01:15:37] Speaker B: Then Kelsey Swift. I don't know. I don't swifty Kelsey something right. [01:15:42] Speaker A: There something in there. [01:15:44] Speaker B: It exists, but yeah, and I have one other bit of news. Israel Adesanya got charged with DUI, and the date of the DUI is literally like, less than three weeks before the Sean Strickland fight. So this dude was drinking in that's? Exactly. I don't even know what to say about that because I like Izzy. [01:16:03] Speaker A: Yeah, I like Izzy. [01:16:04] Speaker B: But he looked like he was drinking in camp, the way he performed. [01:16:08] Speaker A: Yeah. Slow as me out there, I guess. [01:16:10] Speaker B: Yeah. So that kind of wraps up the news. Q A and in or you have some Q A's? [01:16:17] Speaker A: No, I threw the Q A in the beginning just because we went kind of long this week throwing at you our first football episode or first half football episode. So, yeah, that pretty much covers everything I had to talk about. [01:16:29] Speaker B: Sweet. So I think that kind of wraps up the episode. What's the fight card? Next week, do we have a fight card or we have another week of no fight card. [01:16:37] Speaker A: Next week is next week's October 7. Next fight card is October 7. So whatever. Let's see. [01:16:45] Speaker B: Yes, next weekend will be October 7. [01:16:48] Speaker A: Sweet. So that fight card is going to be UFC Vegas 80. Dawson Green and then Dawson Bobby Green. Yeah. Grant Dawson, bobby Green. Then we'll review our NFL fan. I wanted to say UFC again. I like how I'm used to saying it, though. That's kind of cool. Then we'll, like I said, review our NFL college football picks. Thanks for listening. [01:17:29] Speaker B: It of. It.
