In sports if you want to be the best there are no off days flying cars here in 2024 no maybe not welcome into the no off days podcast I’m Scott Smith we got Chris KO BK is in the booth hey Happy New Year my friend 2024 looks good on

You um yeah I mean we we are finally here doesn’t seem 2020 there’s just certain years that just feel like they I just didn’t think I would live to see it you know remember when we were like in high school and they would bring like the elementary kids through and they’d

Say here’s the class of you know 2020 and you said H how could that be possible kind of fistic we’re going to be robots by then here we are 2024 well I should say congratulations too because over the game there over the weekend there was a there was a big game you

Know and uh it was the fantasy Super Bowl in our fantasy league and and your angry manatees wanted what this back-to-back years yeah uh three out of the last four but who’s counting and won it by uh about 8/10 of a point too congatulations against our former

Weather guy Tyler Allon yes he’s still sobbing somewhere I think he’s in Memphis now that’s what he gets for leaving us still waiting on my money though Mark Wilson commissioner if you’re out there you know you got my vinmo it takes a while check hasar I

Hope that that helped you you know kind of get past the other the other game that took place over the weekend uh we’ll kind of dive into that in a moment um are you a big resolutions guy do you set do you set any New Year’s markers

Yeah I do usually I make them vague so that they’re easy to change in Midstream and you don’t admit them publicly I always say I’m going to read the Bible more which I don’t put a number on it but I I’m usually pretty good about that

One and then I usually say I’m going to exercise more and I usually don’t do so well at that one this year though I delve to learn Spanish oh yeah so ask me how that’s going in a few months d uh where are graas I don’t know I’m just

Starting very good what about you uh I think every year I just am committed to be a less crappy version of me you know can I do that um no yeah I it’s funny I asked my wife the other day I said you know do you think I could ever ever get

A six-pack and after a long after a long pause she said sure honey so I didn’t get the most confidence from that said is that your resolution no that’s I should I should be resolved to do that but I think losing weight you know being a little bit more healthy would be would

Be good um yeah so there’s that let’s welcome in Brian King BK you you a big uh resolution guy got not too not not too big just try to be a better person okay yeah so do you usually follow through with that one or is that one

Where we you know review at the end of the year and we’re like ah missed the mark on that little I try to but each year I think God you know there’s things I could have done better things I wish I could have done differently you know

Yeah 2023 wasn’t your best year it was not yeah it was not I was I missed the playoffs I’m kidding you cut that guy on tra cut that guy off in traffic yeah I mean let’s get it under control a little bit on the roads you know um um very

Good well Happy New Year to you same to you to you uh I’m curious what we might have in this first program here of 2024 uh why not let’s talk a little bit of college football we haven’t done that in a while have we it’s been a week Atek

Feels like two to me but uh take a look back at the bowl games y’all do you were you able to watch many of them over the uh two weeks there as much as I could Bear yeah the semi-finals of course but uh everything else I just yeah I think

We’ll Riff on this in a moment but the bowl games are just it’s it’s just so bad something’s got to change quickly well I consumed a lot of them Brian but that’s also because I like to gamble so that always makes the games better yes they were all interesting to me okay

Yeah all right and then at the end of the program end of the program we’re going to take a look at headlines 2024 brand new year let’s take a look at a new batch of headlines this would be um nodpod Gazette I npod Gazette cranking out another year of good hey

Congratulations to that publication I mean after all these years I I I didn’t think they’d make it to the the Millennium here so many ownership changes staff downsizing that they continue to produce quality questionable journalism I don’t think anybody actually gets paid on that staff so the

Volunteer work there is uh is amazing all right very good BK we’ll catch up with you in just a minute if you’re listening and you want to watch go to fox13news.com noodp if you’re watching and you want to listen or subscribe take out your phone you can zap that QR code

On the screen in the bottom right hand corner and there you can find all of our shows please subscribe fox13news.com SL nodpod what a matchup we had in both of those semi-final games Chris I mean I I know that it hurts your heart and I’m going to allow you the space to grieve

Openly if that’s what you need to do but as just a college football fan that really had no rooting interest you know that those were the best semi-final games I think we’ve ever had and um I I I don’t know I feel like you know in

Some way the committee kind of got it right I mean you got there are issues but like I think that um man man to have both of these games come down to a final play one last heave into the end zone one last attempt I mean it was just it

Was good it was nail biting all the way and um too Heavenly uh you know I think either one of these teams could have represented well in the national championship on both of these games so um I’m pleased but uh you know I don’t need to wallow much more I’ve spent the

Last few days wallowing uh you see for our audio audience I am wearing Maze and blue today because I lost a little friendly bet with a fan a friend of mine who’s a Michigan fan so uh he I was isn’t going to put on a jersey but so

I’m wearing um amze and blue here but yeah it hurt I mean um would love to see Alabama have thrown at the end zone instead of quarterback draw but you know I think the better team won in that one if I’m being honest about it I think

Michigan uh was the better team at the line of scrimmage which is you know we did our picks um previously going into the semi-finals and I picked Alabama because I said what a lot of you know so-called experts believe that Alabama’s built for those kind of line of

Scrimmage games and that Michigan hadn’t seen a defensive line or an offensive line like Alabama’s but Michigan was the more physical team and that’s what kind of surprised me the most so I think even though Michigan made some big mistakes on special teams uh that kept Alabama in

It I think Michigan was kind of the better team had the better quarterback and and prevailed ultimately and so but I do want to show you um this little uh for our audio audience this yellow shirt I’m wearing is actually a a sloth on a bicycle which is this is me going into

2024 I’m I’m a sloth and I need I would thought that that was a wolverine but no that is indeed a SL sloth on a bicycle but yeah I thought like you said two great semi-final games and I still believe that would have been the right

Thing to do to put Florida State in I can’t say uh what would have happened if we had put Florida State in and you know then you wouldn’t have had all these opt outs you would have had four weeks to get Tate rodmaker ready with Florida State’s defense I think they could have

Given Michigan a good game too but you know it’s hard to argue with the result results though and uh and that’s really what it comes down to I think fsu’s bow finish um you know predictably awful after all those opt outs but you know I don’t know maybe I would have had a

Different feeling had they as you mentioned kind of you know went in there with a somewhat full cupboard minus Jordan Travis but I also think Georgia kind of made an exclamation point as to why maybe they deserved a chance to be in there too and they they had a handful

Of opt outs as well but I just I can’t wait for that 12 team playoff so as you look at uh this National Championship Showdown um you know I love it because it’s you know I I we’ve had you know SEC domination for years and I know that

Unbk love that but you know I think it’s nice to kind of reset the field a little bit have kind of an unusual cast of characters although Michigan has you know been in the the semi-finals here in recent years uh I love the contrast and styles you have you know a Washington

Team that is just you know big offense Big Time passing attack and aerial attack and uh against the Michigan team the this unrelenting defense and you know tough ground game game uh I love you know both of these kind of the coaches are kind of polar opposite in

Terms of how they come across at least to the media both of them are probably heading to the NFL here shortly um or at least in the next couple of years um but as I look at at how this kind of plays out it will be tough because I do think

That neither one of these teams has faced anything like what they’re about to face uh but you know I could pull a little bit you know when I look at Michigan’s running attack which it’s good it’s not it’s not excellent um it’s but it is pretty good um you know I saw

A Washington team beat an Oregon team that had a much better ground attack than than Michigan and uh they beat him twice you know Texas I think that they’re you know they’re pretty good defensively they’re not Michigan but we saw you know 37 points scored against

Them um in a big time moment so I just think you know you got you got a great Showdown here and I can’t wait to see how this plays out we’re going to have our pick segment coming up later on and we’ll kind of dive into what exactly we

Think is going to go down but uh I don’t know your thoughts on on the matchup I love again like you said the contrast in Styles number one offense in the country Washington versus number one defense and more importantly to me I think the number one pass defense that Michigan

Has that’s one they really got after jayen milro and that was the defensive line getting pressure um Washington’s offensive line better than Alabama’s I think it comes down to can they give penx just a couple of seconds to to unleash that Cannon of his and get the

Ball out to those Playmakers I know we’ll do our picks later in this this podcast but I I think that it if if uh Michigan can get the kind of pressure they got against Milo I don’t think they will I think Washington’s offensive line is better but also I think Michigan’s

Secondary is better than anything that Washington has faced and so and and you mentioned Michigan’s running game you’re not sure how strong it is I I think it is and I think we’re going to see I think it’s good I’m just saying I think that I think Washington has seen better

I mean I thought Oregon’s ground game was better than Washington’s um but you know that there’s other components you know Michigan strength is not their offense obviously yeah I mean they’re going to win by by beating you you know mercilessly defensively but I’m want to

See if they get how much they get JJ McCarthy’s legs involved we saw him come up with some huge plays at the end of that Alabama game and maybe that’s kind of an X Factor too it’s to me it all comes down to how can you bottle up

Michael penx can you can you rattle him he just seems so unrl you know a new word here in 2024 I like it uh but you know this guy he he rarely throws interceptions he has 10 sacks nine interceptions all season long I mean he his elusive in the pocket and just I

Mean even in that semi-final game I me there was so many throws that were just I mean they were just so pure like you could not have thrown that ball any better and even like when he’s like you know moving backwards or you know kind of navigating his way through the pocket

It’s not just like take a three-step dropping fire like I mean this guy on the move when he’s kind of you know I guess ad liing a little bit I mean he’s still throwing darts all over the field and so I’ve just seen it I’ve seen it consistently all season long

That if Michigan gives him just the slightest window I I just have a feeling this guy’s going to make it happen so you know Michigan that is their strength I mean they got I think they’re top 10 in sacks and interceptions in the nation I mean 33 sacks let’s see 16

Interceptions so yeah I mean that that’s that’s The Showdown to me it’s it’s how can you get Michael Pennock off his game because you know running back could be injured for that game for Washington and and if you know you could turn them this was my prediction last week was that you

Know that that I I thought Texas could make them one dimensional but I think even if you know if you do that and you you know eliminate the the ground game I still think penx is the issue my question to you is do you think the Heisman voters got it right because

When I watched this guy play last week and you know in the conference Championship game and really toward the tail end of the season it’s hard for me to find another player that means more not just to his team but you know that is a bigger like big time player in the

Big Time moments than Michael pennick yeah uh you know Jaden Daniels is he he’s athletic he’s put up good numbers but LSU is 10 and three and and I know it’s not the Heisman is not a team award but if if you lift your team to the highest highs and you’re there playing

In January that should account for something right I mean should we slide back the Heisman vote till after all the bowl games and after the the championship is done no I know it’s popular now to think that penx was robbed and should have gotten the Heisman but no I think the Heisman

Committee got it right I think we just I know it’s a shouldn’t always be a stats driven award but it largely is I don’t like trying to make it um the best player on the national championship team which is what it has been too many times

In often years I’m fine with LSU here’s my biggest thing is Daniels had you know passing numbers not quite okay fewer yards than pinnick but more touchdown passes fewer interceptions four four ints to pinck is nine but here’s my biggest thing is that Daniels used as legs to run for over

1100 yards he so he was really he was their entire offense and yeah he was the hardest guy to stop in college football I think a lot of people too reacting to this pinck performance which was outstanding against Texas I think we had a lot of casual football fans that were

Tuning into the semi-final game and there is an East Coast bias and so they probably hadn’t seen penx play a lot and they’re like oh this but you have to remember too that uh pennx disappeared in several games this season like they won one game where they scored zero

Offensive touchdowns there was a stress there about four games where he was inconsistent and he was off he wasn’t like he didn’t lead his team to Victory Every Game LSU won it’s because of Jaden Daniels so I think it was one of the easiest Heisman decisions in years that

They also lost three games you know yeah well they would have lost seven if not for Jen Daniels no I mean you yeah you sure you could say that but I mean my point is is that like there’s something yeah you’re not going to be perfect on

In every performance but I I do think that there is a team component so it’s not all or nothing it’s not yeah the best you know the best player on the national championship team I don’t want it to be voted on by that but I do think

It means a lot when you are clearly the best guy on one of the best teams in the nation and the reason you’re that good is not because you’re around a bunch of blue chippers not that not that you know Washington doesn’t have good players he

Has they have a great receiving core but I mean you just watch this guy play and it’s hard to argue with it and and I’ve been watching him all season so I think your East Coast bias that could have something to do with the Heisman vote

Too I mean us for as much as uh you know it has to do with people jumping on the bandwagon late but I don’t know I mean I I just don’t think you can make push the date of the Heisman back and because then it becomes let’s just call it a

Postseason MVP award but but don’t do that that’s what I’m saying I I think it take the full account of that player and the the full season into the picture and yes yeah but the guy who’s still the guy who’s still playing is going to have just the recency advantage I I just

Don’t think that’s the the best way to do it call it playoff MVP if you want to do it that way that’s why casual fans aren’t voting right in the Heisman so it’s people but there are a lot of actually there are way too many of Heisman voters there there should be

Educated voters I mean that if we want to redo the system then that’s what I’m I think that it should be the full Full Count of of what they’ve done the entire season and if you ignore what they’re doing here in the postseason and what they’re doing to to bring their team up

I just think you’re missing a big chunk of what what they’re all about I mean the winning Factor you know just the the the ability to lift your team um H I don’t know penx has it to me anyway so uh maybe uh to your point that would

Have incentivized Jaden Daniels to play in his bowl game if the Heisman were still on the line maybe he would have opt it out well you know a Yahoo article kind of echoed a lot of the sentiments that we recently brought up and what kind of changes need to be done to these

Bowl games in order to incentivize players from you know opting out I mean you had around 500 opt outs I would say probably 80 90% of that is transfer portal guys and so you know the the Yahoo article kind of pointed some of the things that we discussed in you know

Moving early signing date back moving transfer portal date back I think those are easy and and no brainer fixes they also talked about incentivizing bowl games I didn’t realize that the NCAA has actually they are the ones that are are blocking bowl games from offering nil

Deals to players so the NCAA would have to loosen its grip on that uh but to incentivize players players to to get a cut of some additional dough if they play in these bowl games and you know maybe even have it to where the winning team those those winnings that would

Traditionally go to the program will go to individual players as well I I think that makes sense because honestly Chris these bowl games some of them were so awful and it’s like what are we doing here I mean what why are we even playing these games the Orange Bowl fsu’s

Performance um that it’s a joke to me there’s no sense in playing the game who who were these games for who are they for just to get to get to get practice Reps for next year’s team is that what it’s all about you see the ratings for

That awful Orange Bowl 11 million people still watch that garbage that’s who it’s for it’s for TV contracts I’m not saying I’m not saying that’s what we want people are going to stop watching people will care less as they see that list that ticker of opt outs people don’t

Care I mean look at some of these games Georgia beating FSU by 60 points Ohio State losing 143 to Missouri just they’re a different team Notre Dame over Oregon State 40 to8 Miami losing to Rutgers Miami you know losing a bunch of their highend talent I mean it’s just I

Don’t see the sense in even playing these games I don’t like the the fact that we’re the the only reward is backup time now wait a minute those games still meant a lot to ruter and Missouri who did who didn’t have guys opting out no

They most of them did most of them did have Missi didn’t have Missouri had almost Missouri had everyone playing all there a lot of players you can’t just say let’s not play bowl games because there could be a lot of teams that want to be there I don’t want to not play

Bowl games I want the bowl games to be the teams that played during the regular season to be the same teams that show up in December and in January that’s what I want to see I don’t want to see some skeleton of a team that has no right to

Be on the field yeah I think I mean that those are embarrassments and I think for the fans that pay money to go to these games and travel and tune in and watch and even for the networks I’m not there’s no pity party for the networks but they’re paying big dough to watch

What you know like at the end of the at the end of the day it’s just an opportunity for a commercial for you know Tony the Tiger or something you know it’s like that’s all that that really is and it’s not about the football and so we have to figure out a

Way to change that I mean look I I know the Oregon Liberty game and obviously I’m an Oregon fan but Oregon had one opt out and it was a it was a backup running back I mean b Knicks well Liberty had no opt outs right and Liberty had no opt

Outs so we saw was that final score it was a lot to a little and everybody knew that and I didn’t like the matchup because honestly Oregon had really nothing to gain and everything to lose in that one but but the the point is is that bonck didn’t have to play in that

Game a bunch of Oregon players didn’t have to play in that game but they did and so that’s nice when you get that kind of Buy in but as we see across the college football landscape that’s never the case and it’s going to increasingly become so if they don’t change it I do

Like the 12 team playoff but you know honestly if if this is what we’re getting with bowl games if they’re just going to continue to take this downward spiral then expand the playoffs to even more teams because I want more meaningful games when it matters most in

These bowl games honestly I just I hate to see them turn into jokes and that’s what it felt like to your point we’ll have 12 playoff it’s going to be so much fun we’ll have 12 playoff games this coming season there will still be 35

Bowl games that will mean even less so I think you’re right we’ll see more of this I I pulled out a couple of examples of teams and you pulled out one in Oregon that kept their players interested that that had you know that will to be there and that but I agree

With you that that’s going to become fewer and farther between it’s going to be tougher to keep these guys engaged and I think one of the solutions other than expanding to even a broader playoff field is what we touched on earlier and it’s you’ve got to if if we’re moving

Toward paying players which we already are then whether it’s the TV networks or the title Bowl sponsor you got to incentivize these guys to play all right coming up on the other side the NFL playoffs of course right around the corner who’s not hot and who is not

Heading into the postseason we’re going to discuss when the nod pod Continues welcome back to the no off days podcast we are in week 18 of the NFL season which means teams positioning for the playoffs what teams are looking good as we get to that playoff Finish Line and what teams are kind of limping toward the finish so uh Chris we’re going to do

A little hot or not segment uh teams that you think are are positioned well for a nice little playoff run based on what we’ve seen the last couple of weeks and teams that you know honestly you wouldn’t be surprised to get get see knocked off here um in maybe the the

First round of of the the the postseason okay team okay okay I like it sorry I was tripping over my peas right there did no all right so you know I think uh we could throw out the the first two Hots and I think they’re pretty easy

These are the teams that are the uh already locked in as the one seeds and that would be the Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers the Ravens have won six straight games uh meanwhile the Niners have won seven of their last eight and that loss was to Baltimore so is that a

Potential preview of what we’re going to see in the Super Bowl I mean the the Niners have had a little bit of limping along the way still managing to pull out victories uh you know injury to Brock pie that kind of hobbled them a little bit but um man these two teams they

Still you know you look at that roster and the way they’ve been playing down the stretch and I think you like what they uh where they’re at I I’ll go a little off that and I’ll I’ll pick a hot team that um you know I’m not sure how

Long they’re going to make a run but I think they’re playing well right now and that’s the LA Rams okay I mean they’ve won six of their last seven that loss coming in overtime at Baltimore uh in that stretch Matt Stafford 16 touchdowns four interceptions I just think you have

A veteran quarterback you have a team young team that has grown throughout the course of the Season you found some really key contributors throughout the course of this season that is Ken Williams uh puka akua uh you know you get Cooper uh Cooper cup back and of

Course they have you know maybe the best defensive player in the league in Aaron Donald I just I mean man the way they’re playing right now I I wouldn’t be surprised if they can keep some of these guys healthy down the stretch and it looks like they’re going to keep a bunch

Of their starters out this week against San Francisco that they might be able to ruffle some feathers how do you feel about them possibly it looks like if things were you know as they are today they would be playing at Detroit we would have Matthew Stafford’s return

Yeah that would be quite the show a lot of a lot of high emotions in that one um that’d be a good one wouldn’t it I yeah it sure would I mean that’s the storyline that the NFL wants I think a little goof against his former and

Stafford against his former so um are you wanting me to call that right now we’ll do that later but I I like your hot one that was one near the top of my list um you want me go hot or not let me give give me yeah I like that about you

2024 it’s your choice it is an election year after all um so let’s go a not one in stay in the NFC not hot the Philadelphia Eagles my my birds that were flying so high they’ve lost four of their last five they offense looks so just blah they lost to the Cardinal

Somehow um and just going into you know they they had at one point like four weeks ago they had like the 90% chance of winning the NFC east and and maybe still a shot at locking up the number one seed it was kind of between them and

The ners falling off a cliff since then so yeah I don’t know what they’ve got to do there to get this turned around but Eagles not hot not a good trajectory um let’s go with another hot from me um I like the bills I mean the winners of

Four straight I don’t think that the teams that they’ve really beaten recently are World beaters but uh their defense is playing better the the defense over these last four games has forced seven turnovers uh Josh Allen has kind of kept the the turnover thing down a little bit uh his numbers have not

Been off the charts but I mean look you have a chance to play for the AFC East title uh this week and uh that says a lot compared to where they were you know just about a month ago where you’re like is this team even going to be in the

Playoffs so they’ve turned things around and the fact that they’re being led by their defense to me that could be something that that gives them a little bit of a Spur into the into the off season I like it even though I’m going to probably pick against him later in

Our pick segment but I think it’s a good call let me give you a hot one this one’s on a heater who saw this team at 11 and five at this point in the season and that’s the Cleveland Browns yeah the brownies wow they’re headed in the right

Direction um their defense is is so good and then you got Joe flacko with this wonderful incredible yeah he’s 75 years old but he’s still doing it he’s still younger than Brady who’s considering coming out of TY but no you don’t want to get that started but yeah I like the

Browns I like let’s see where they would be I had this pulled up a second here a second ago here so they won four straight they would play at Jacksonville If This Were to be played today and boy I like the Browns in that match up I

Like that match up too yeah no Joe Flaco for coming off the couch I feel like he’s he’s progressively gotten better which is good and he’s been has has Flaco did he has he won has he won a Super Bowl uh yes with the uh Ravens the

Ravens right he did so I don’t know maybe you know maybe a little Renaissance I’ll tell you one thing he’s done he’s ruined guaranteed contracts for all these other I’ll give I’ll give you a knot um okay the Kansas City Chiefs yeah so you know they start the

Season six and one they’ve lost four of their last five in these last nine games or their their four and five over the last nine games uh but here’s the biggest concern for me is that half of their games this season they’ve scored 20 points or less uh they’ve lost their

Last three games at home I mean this is just it’s not trending in the right direction obviously we know one of the big issues is like uh who’s Patrick Mahomes throwing the football to that that’s a big problem but I mean they’re going to have to find it somewhere I

Mean this this Kansas City defense is going to have to you know play off the charts or you know I don’t know where they’re going to find it but you know Patrick Mahomes is hard to bet against and they’ve been there I mean you kind of think like once they get to the

Postseason everything’s just going to click and you know it’ll just be what they’ve done the last few years but I don’t know they’re not trending in the right direction right now and if if they don’t win their division um then that’s going to be a problem um yeah no and

That would be unimaginable to see them already well let me see let me see maybe I’m maybe I’m uh missing something here uh looking at the standings uh yeah so they’re they’re definitely they’ve already won their division so I don’t know what I’m talking about but but they

Would have to play they’ll have to play a road playoff game which is something we haven’t seen them have to do in is there a chance they could be a four seed cat Mahomes era yes uh is if Jacksonville wins I don’t know I don’t know there is a chance they could be

Here I have it uh yeah not looking good uh I’ve got one that’s I don’t want to call them uh hot is there something a tepid okay not David terer cuz that would be cold uh cold like a cold beer poured on your face yeah but kind of hot

You know and and headed in the right direction although they still might not make the playoffs and that’s the Steelers the Pittsburgh Steelers have won two in a row against teams they were supposed to lose to the Bengals and the Seahawks on the road um their chances of

Making the playoffs they they need some things to happen for them to get in but they’re the kind of team that you wouldn’t want to face in the playoffs youon Rudolph helping that offense get going um well yeah I mean they’ve they’ve had a nice little run there so

It looks like they need about five things to happen for them to get in but who knows um yeah do you have any more hotter knots uh let me you know I think the Dolphins are not hot right now but it wouldn’t surprise me if they got hot

Again but they are their their offense has been a little clunky lately and with Bradley chub getting hurt that really kind of worries me about their defense that hurts a little little bit I wouldn’t say that I don’t know I think they turned that around a little bit

This week that that’s kind of a little tease to our pick segment um one team is hot but for a different reason uh the Detroit Lions they’re they’re hot because of how last G last week’s game ended uh feeling like they were robbed of a win against those Dallas Cowboys uh

Is there a better way to signal to officials an eligible receiver it just seems so Antiquated to have the player go over there and I I mean there’s I don’t know how many times this has ever been complicated before I know the lions were trying to do a little trickery send

Three guys over one guy tells the ref but you’re banking on this referee In the Heat of the Moment with you know all these tens of thousands of screaming fans for him to understand just you don’t want a breakdown in communication right no so is there a better way can

Can like the head coach say hey hey official this is what we’re doing why is the player the one that’s tasked with telling that to the official I don’t have that answer I don’t know why they do it that way um I will say has this

Been a problem before do we see this happen a lot where there was a player who so in my so then my maybe you don’t need to address that’s right why do we need to address something that only the Lions screwed up yeah well oh you just angered a bunch of

People in btown our big audience out there wait so wait one more thing on that but I’m because I’m still not I haven’t done all the Deep dive on what happened so who who was at fault did we did they ever determine it was the official I mean so look the the players

And you know Dan Campbell doesn’t want to come out and you know directly Point blame because they don’t want to to of course incur a fine for that but yes you kind of somewhat read between the lines like the the TA Taylor Decker who was the one that caught the two-point

Conversion uh he went over there am amongst a handful of other you know there were two other offensive lineman Skipper and Su pan Su and um so that was the whole point okay we’re going to send three guys over one guy is going to declare this was something that they had

Gone over in their pregame meetings with the officials before sometimes they do that well they always do that they drop like trick plays and say this is what we’re going to do so that the officials are aware of this before the game takes place and so Dan Campbell says hey we

Went over this with the officiating crew and he missed it and he he thought that it was you know Skipper that was declared eligible and it was actually Decker so yeah yeah I mean that was the confusion and I just think look here’s here’s here’s the takeaway is that Dan

Campbell if he’s the motivator that I think he is he is going to milk this slight for everything it’s worth and I think you see a motivated Detroit team coming out because of that saying hey look even the officials are against us they don’t want us to win these games

That that they cooked it you know against us of course against the Cowboys too America’s team so you know I you know use it you you know take a page out of you know every great coach’s Playbook and find some yeah some chalkboard material um all right so you look at the

Carolina Panthers and David terer and uh obviously we’ve all seen by now the uh Infamous drink that was thrown into the stands of the Jacksonville Jaguar I’m sure a very innocent Jaguars fan that probably was not saying anything uh but obviously this is this is an owner of an

NFL team why is he in an open air box by the way like why would he’s a man of the people why would you if you if you are known for Tepper Tantrums uh why would you subject yourself to jering fans in an away St I like that he wants to feel

Like he’s a part of that environment I I kind of like that do you like his reaction no I don’t like his reaction W yeah but I can’t say if I was worth 20 bill I wouldn’t be you know baby about it too I don’t know so I saw I saw um I

Don’t know who it was I saw somebody I follow on Twitter said that because he’s worth $20 billion that $300,000 fine was the equivalent of a $15 fine for a person that is worth $1 million yes it’s not even a parking ticket so like for us

You know us us you know lman on the totto pole here like what what is that you know like are we it’s like a $5 fine you know I believe that was the great Greg alond if I saw the that would make sense yeah yeah absolutely so um yeah no

I here’s the thing this Carolina franchise what David terer is doing and the fact that he’s making more headlines uh than his team and their performance on the field this is a problem you know the NFL is still a recruiting business you want free agents you want coaches to

Come to your you want fans to come and see your product like you have to as the owner you’re you set the tempo you set the the tone for how your organization is running you see the the teams that have great management typically have a good product on the field and fans show

Up that’s typically what happens um but I think he just kind of sour the well with you know I I don’t know the guy personally but his reputation precedes him and it’s it’s not good uh they have had three coaching changes in the last four years and two more at the soccer

Club he owns in the last two years well there you go I mean you can’t you can’t make this guy happy like if you’re a free agent and you’re deciding in the offseason and you know Carolina says hey we’re going to offer you $20 million a

Year come over here but any other team in the league offers you 15 what do you do so what do you do if you’re Jim Harbaugh and they offer you 20 I think that’s that’s pretty clear to me I I mean well a guy like Harbaugh is going

To have options right MH I I just think any other situation may be uh more appealing I mean the money goes so far but you know look they signed uh Frank Reich to a big contract and how long did that last him I’m sure they paid him a

Lot to go away but yeah I mean this is just it’s a bad situation it’s a bad look for the NFL he is now the new bad guy uh replacing Dan Snyder there um but yeah it’s just not good I mean again it’s it’s a recruiting business all

Right coming up on the other side we have talked about some of these big games now we’re going to lay our cards on the table it’s our pick segment coming up next uh along with a little game that’s going on in Houston next week that maybe you’ve heard about at

NRG Stadium we have the great Haley Hines from Fox 13 News joining us on the other side when we continue on the notot she won’t throw a drink on us no well hopefully welcome back to the no off days podcast she is an anchor here at

Fox 13 news in Tampa Bay and she is one of the biggest fans of this year podcast the off days podcast don’t hold that against her Welcome to our pick segment Haley hin come on out there she is oh the big Reveal Your yeah oh thank yeah i’ I’ve

Taken a few tumbles here we want to thank you for being a part of the show and we have uh a little something as a gift oh my goodness we know that you you have quite the reputation as as a baker uh but uh you’re not alone who B this we

Didn’t we didn’t bake it that was actually baked by the uh the tberry family that would be Jeff and Judy tesb uh they have a quite a machine that they operate here in the uh around the holidays and this is a their famous cranberry bread W I am really excited

About this although I’ve heard it’s actually filled with Tes berries instead of cranberries so um well welcome welcome to the show welcome to the show it’s been a long time we’ve been trying to get you uh to be a part of this and uh you you have been Faithfully listening

Can let’s tell people the truth I want 2024 to start with truth truthfulness on this podcast this is not her first appearance on show can can just go ahead well we had uh offered you or begged you to come out here before and do our pick segment with us that

Happened to be the week that Scott had his Harding bison were playing for the division 3 National Championship let’s get it right always trying to slide us you know and one of their alumni is of course the uh the famous Duck Dynasty Roberts Willie Robertson and so Scott

Had put in the word late and and thought Willie could come on the show Willie was not giving us a yes or no you were kind enough to do it and then right after your segment ended we got the zoom from so now you’re going to get picks from uh

Four weeks ago uh that’s what’s going to happen no no we’re going to well we appreciate you receiving the second invite and that’s why actually we felt the need to give you something this makes it all better was either this or Chris was going to Veno you some cash

Yeah we could do both all right are we ready to kick off our pick segment all right let’s do it here uh we’re going to start in the NFL uh Haley where you know nine of the 14 playoff spots have already been clinched uh but there’s some big games this weekend so we’re

Going to start here uh close to home bucks at Panthers this is Sunday game on Fox by the way 1:00 uh the Bucks come in 5 and a half Point favorites who do you like in this game yeah I mean even though they’re favorite you know the

Pick is always the buck I’ll always go with the Bucks you know our home team um but but in my opinion they’re already winners this week because you’re not seeing their owners tossing drinks at fans it’s a good point I’m going to go on the class vat here they win already

Yeah by the glazers I don’t think have ever I can’t recall a moment when they’ve ever engaged fans in such a hostile way all right that would make these games more interesting if the owners throwing stuff uh you yeah we got to pick the Bucks and it’s not just because we’re

All you know Hometown Team guys I you know the Bucks are playing for everything including maybe some coaching jobs and the Panthers are are the Panthers they’re uh they got nothing to play for except for pride and I don’t know how much of that they have so Bucks

Win buy a lot I’m saying well you know I’m a little worried about Baker Mayfield’s rib injury and how severe that might actually be um but you know I’m goingon to say that sheer determination alone will probably get this team across the Finish Line with as

Much as they have at stake uh and not to mention the superior town I mean I think the Bucks are a good team I think they fi refine their Mojo and hopefully get Baker out of the game a little early so he can rest up for his playoff run so uh

Bucks win that one um Rams at 49ers 49ers three and a half Point favorites a 425 kick uh this is uh I I don’t know if you guys know this but this is not going to be Matt Stafford against uh against Brock pie this this is Sam darnold

Against Carson Wentz so yeah throwing a wrench in this let me change my pick then real Qui but I don’t I don’t I think no matter what happens both these teams are in the postseason I don’t know the seeding changes either so we got that actually played into my picks

Because you know the Rams are dealing with some injuries some of their starters have to uh sit out this week but I love the idea of of other people stepping in and you know this is their moment to shine and and you can see what

They have so you know a lot is on the line let’s see what Carson Wentz and the other guys can do so I’m going to I’m going to go for The Underdogs going with the ram all right Rams on the road little upet I mean they’ve been playing hot so I

Usually always agree with Haley because she is my 11 p.m. co-anchor on FOX 13 and she is usually right and she always does her research uh I’m going to go with the Niners in this one though uh and I know you know a lot of the starters are going to be wrestling and

That kind of thing but the ners have really owned the Rams uh they’ve won the last five against them and I think that that’s going to continue and I’m going to pick the ners to to win for much the same reason I agree with you Chris um

They’re just I think a deeper team I don’t think the the Rams can afford to lose the the likes of Aaron Donald and Kiren Williams and Cooper cup and you know not to mention Matt Stafford and still be the same team but I think they are going to be a dangerous team once

The playoffs roll around but I’m going to go Niners at home all right Packers at Bears Packers come in three and a half Point favorites and uh they’re playing for the final wild card spot how do you see this one going down I mean it looks pretty close but but I saw that

The Bears have not won at Lambo field since 2015 so it’s a streak that that I don’t think they’re going to break it I think the Packers are just going to slice through the uh Bears offense like swiss cheese you know just get those Lambo leavs yeah they’re going to cut

That cheese all right in a good way in the best Chris you got speaking of what is that supposed to be you know haly can vouch for me I never smell bad maybe like coffee musky coffee and depression musk is not positive uh yeah I’m going

To go with Haley on this one I like the Packers they have are playing for their playoff lives I mean the Bears would love nothing more than to spoil this would be two years in a row they would knock the Packers out of beat them last year okay the last okay division rival

Would knock the Packers out uh I like the way Jordan lob’s playing um and I think the home Field’s going to be crowds going to be fired up there at Lambo I think the Packers win a close one I’m goingon to I’m going to go with

The uh the underdog in this one I think Chicago comes into Lambo and as you mentioned much like last year having their playoff hopes dashed on that last week of the regular season uh on their home t no less so the frozen tundra has

Thaw for sure I I just like the way the Bears are playing right now I think their defense is they’re winning the turnover battle Justin Fields has every incentive to ball out I mean he’s he’s playing for not just this year but next year and on into the future where is he

Going to be be be playing I think how he performs in Green Bay could have something to say about that so um yeah I think that the Bears win and barring I think some other Playoff gymnastics I think you know if Arizona beats Seattle and Atlanta beats New Orleans even a

Green Bay loss they could still squeak back into that seventh spot but uh but I’m going to I’m going to go Bears and Lambo all right bills at Dolphins this is your Sunday night matchup bills come into this one three and a half Point favorites in Miami in Miami and Miami of

Course is uh is playing for this is this is for the AFC East okay just looking at history bills have already beaten the Dolphins early in the season but I’ve said it before I will say it again I encourage anything that could lead to more bills Mafia celebrations Antics and

Of course table diving I want to see more of that so if if a Bills win we’ll make that happen then go bills okay all right that’s good that’s as good as reason there’s been a lot of that lately I mean they’re on a roll I everything

About this game says to pick the bills these are two teams headed in opposite directions it seems Miami so banged up on defense they’ve lost Bradley chub for the season he’s their best quarterback pressure looks like jayen waddle won’t play again bills have won four in a row

For that reason I’m going with the dolphins I just feel like they’re going to be playing loose um it would be so nice nice for them to win the AFC East for the first time in 15 years and I’m not just saying this because I picked

The Dolphins to win the AFC East at the beginning of the season but I think that Josh Allen they’re so inconsistent on offense I think he’s going to make a couple of mistakes and I think the Dolphins are going to get it done yeah

Um you know Miami I think is they have a lot of incentive to win this game of course if they lose then they’re facing you know probably Kansas City at Arrowhead if they win then they’re hosting the seventh seed so I mean there’s a big difference here it’s hard

To beat a team twice especially a team as talented as Miami they’re a much better team at home and for those reasons I think Tua and the boys go off I got the fins winning that one all right let’s turn our attention to next week and it’s the granddaddy The Natty

The Washington Michigan showdown in Houston uh Michigan comes in fiveo favorites on a 7:30 Monday night kickoff who do you like winning the college football national championship Haley uh so at this point you probably realized I I come with great in-depth analysis on I love your analysis cuz it’s kind of a

Ying to our y you know stay in our lanes here but I like you’re kind of thinking out of the box yeah I’m going to go in a different direction here so let’s look at the animal kingdom the Wolverines they have better odds on the field right

But in the animal kingdom they have the greatest dods huskys beautiful domestic fluffy dos Wolverines they’re Scrappy and ferocious you don’t want to mess with them so in the animal kingdom I’m going to go Wolverines they’re going to crush I think that kind of symbolizes their head coaches too a little bit I

Harbaugh’s a little bit more of a wolverine right yeah he’s made be do a rabes shot for all we know yeah um yeah this is going to be such a good game I feel like you notice I’m wearing the colors uh the colors of the

Maze and blue I lost a bet with a Alabama I’m you know myama team lost to Michigan you had you may not knew that so um I look at this and look at this and I think I’m going to go with Michigan because I just feel like um as

Good as Washington’s offense is with Michael penx and those three receivers their running back is he was hurt at the end of last game and he’s a big part of their offense but I just feel like Michigan their defense especially in the secondary is better than what we saw

Texas put up against Washington last week and I think Michigan’s just going to get it done in the trenches at the line of scrimmage they’re going to run the ball bleed the clock and I kind of it was curious that Texas kind of gave up on running the ball when they were

Averaging over six yards a carry against Washington I think Michigan’s going to stick with that formula and you know make it kind of bully ball and mich is going to win a National Championship in a close game Michigan does feel like a team of of Destiny honestly and you know

Watching this team perform and you know take out Alabama last week and just kind of the road that they’ve had this year go overcoming all the obstacles and all the off the field stuff having their coach missing a few games I mean there is there is a sense where you know it’s

Hard to pick against them they do have a really good defense I think both of these teams are in store for something that they have not seen yet this year uh but all that being said can can they knock Michael penx off his spot can they really get to him and fluster this

Quarterback who has been just so good all year long I’ve picked against Washington consistently this year being a Ducks fan and uh they just continue to surprise me and take their game to new levels I think Michael penx is having a Joe bures season uh back to his LSU

Senior year and I just I don’t know I can’t pick against him this time I think that he’s so good that even really good defenses he finds Windows he his timing his elus in the pocket I think uh it’s going to be uh it’s going to be a

Washington win and I think if they get that early lead they can start to pull away a little bit so I’m going to say Washington in a pack 12 winner of the National Championship in their final year some somewhat of a storybook uh ending for that conference so there you

Go well hey good picks thank you you know I I I love it I mean we didn’t agree on everything but I hope that you at least enjoy The Parting Gift that we have given you share that with with hubby Evan and uh you know enjoy tells

Me I’m going to get the whole thing CU that’s typically that’s typically what happens because he’s a picky eater is that why yeah he’ll he’ll say toothberry tber any Berry for that matter I know that I know that Haley has a good nose for picking out false headlines but uh

We’re going to have to do that alone that is our next segment as we uh welcome back the nod pod Gazette real or fake story headlines coming your way next on the nod pod don’t go in there As I take a sip from my uh nodpod coffee mug now available in the show store is the store open now no I’m just kidding it is not open but that is one of our resolutions here in 2024 to have a nodpod show store where you can buy all

Your swag and you can order an espanol what kind of things what kind of products would you put in the uh we’d have Tes uh tokes cranberry uh bread that we just offered I think you have to put a tkes uh album out you know where

All of his music is available yeah we might have like one of my sweaty two tight band t-shirts in there like people want to rock that I want to see a Brian King bumper sticker you know I think that would be good too honk for BK or

Something break for BK uh speaking of the devil let’s bring him on in BK we we didn’t get your thoughts on the uh the big uh game on Monday night down there in Houston so what do you think is yes let’s hear this prediction uh huskys

Wolverines by the way BK and I were right about those Huskies last week I whiffed I completely whiffed on both of my picks I think that uh Washington I mean their offense is just you know formidable that those wide receivers are insane Roman is insane that said I was

Just blown away by Michigan’s defensive line and I think they’re just going to be in Pen’s face all that’s the key if I mean they they are be someone mentioned it they’re going to be onedimensional even if uh Dylan Johnson’s back that’s just going to be a passing team team and

I think that might be good enough I don’t know I mean I mean it’s going to be interesting they made Bama onedimensional and that happened so I mean so I’m going I’m going Michigan as much as I would want Washington to win I think Michigan’s a better team really

Impressed what do you think the weirdest thing uh harball will say at the podium amongst the confetti flying okay you know something there’s going to be do you think he cries do you think he um bites he bites somebody on the face do I mean like what what do you think happen

Something he walk up there I think he’ll walk up there with like eating a cheeseburger because he said that’s all you did with the NCAA and wearing a Birmingham stallions T-shirt oh from Conor stallions and then just he might do that yeah I know why

Now I know why he’s like he is I heard his parents the other night that was insane yeah did you hear that after they they won and it’s they were just like him and they were like who’s got it better than us I mean it was it was like

Great I kind of love it like his positivity is uh you can’t get the guy down no and if you were sitting next to him in the game you’d had to change your seat so oh yeah yeah that was kind of but they they was cute it was cute see

How proud they were real quick point on that like how remarkable is it about both of these harau brothers to be where they’re I mean you have maybe the number one team in the NFL and maybe the number one team in college football both being led by a Harbaugh boy yes that’s that’s

Incredible honestly I don’t think we really appreciate that enough but the dad was a hell of a coach too Jack was great coach Washington Kentucky yeah well kudos to them but I’m picking Washington still all right so uh what do we got on the big the big headlines here

New Year how about some new headlines okay you ready for these yes I’ll read them off to you from The nodpod Gazette and you tell me if they’re real or if they’re not so real you ready yeah first one over the holidays race car driver Valerie Bas Valerie Bas decided to let

Me get my glasses on cuz this is not going good he’s had Botox he decided to Bear all in the name of a charity the Formula 1 driver made a calendar of his bare backside each month showing a different posee to sell to the public initial printing of 10,000 copies of the

Botas calendar sped off the shelves forcing a second printing it’s supposed to be pronounced oh I see this is funny because his name is spelled b o t a SS B that’s what he sold to calendar as okay but it’s pronounced it’s PRC V botes Bas okay um look I I gotta say

Fake or I got to say real because there’s I just can’t imagine Brian coming up with a calendar of you know F driver showing off his buttocks um I just I don’t think that that would BK would feel comfortable doing that I don’t know he’s told us some Tales

Before about we’re leaving 2023 in the past yeah no I agree with Scott there’s just this is too this makes sense if his name is really spelled that way b o t SS of course he would try a stunt like this and it is absolutely true there he is oh

There and we got some pictures on there’s some pictures of it may through July I like how he’s coily eating a piece of fruit there in that middle one as he oh you caught me you caught me on my evening Orchard Rong that is his Adam

And Eve photo shoot right there he has made $150,000 and this was all for uh I think prostate cancer awareness and stuff so I mean it f off the shelf so yeah good for him I guess we’re doing he’s riding a bicycle right there yeah that that can’t be enjoyable for the

Seat yeah and that’s some that’s some rough terrain too boy burn that seat okay here’s the next one mind if I borrow that bike for this photo shoot cats are all ears how about this one a company in California has developed an AI earpiece that unlocks language barriers between cats and

Humans oh go the device the device translates human speech into unique signals giving felines the ability to understand simple language right now it can only process five words but cats are able to use the limited vocabulary to communicate with their owners see now 2024 AI man yeah uh Chris I’ll let you

I’ll let you take this first well and thank you very kind of you this is a new Scot in 2024 all right we’re done with you okay my opinion now just kidding I believe cats can already understand everything humans tell them and they just choose whether to do what we’re

Telling them or not so I’m going to say that this is false yeah I think uh in much the same vein I think if cats could communicate and we knew this we would find out all their little e evil motives uh right away and and I would have heard about

That by now uh that these little uh devil beings um are communicating with human beings aat guy no yeah no I’m going to say that’s a that’s a fake story there PK uh 100% fake God man you guys are good here this new year yeah we

Got our sniffers on hey by the way what do our what did the little side columns say there yeah uh Scott’s got big plans for 24 and KO tries to fill his spare time sorry KO well that was very I want to read these stories what are my big

Plans and what are you doing with your spare time KO tries to fill I’m trying to fill it I guess because there that’s we not well no our football yeah that’s very actually too close to the truth there yeah I know it’s kind of all right here’s one uh getting a Mullan

Hey did you hear that the XFL and usfl merged this week yeah so the two teams combined they’re going to have a season that’s coming up uh they’ve agreed on a set of rules and some one rule is turning heads I don’t know if you heard

This once a game get this if a team has a timeout they will be able to get a doover play meaning they can elect to replay to down regardless of the original outcome of the play the rule is being called the time warp rule it will

Be allowed only once per game per team I love this so it’s a doover rule where if you mess up you know like say you missed the field goal you trade a timeout trade a timeout once a game to do it I I mean

I love the Ingenuity of it uh I I just think it’s a silly rule I mean that’s what if this is like a game-winning play at the end yeah I I don’t think it should my Mulligan for the very end here you would always save it to for the end

Well would you I would well maybe not if my Kicker is shaky if I got shaky legs McGee back I don’t think it should be used on a kick like not on a you can’t get a do over because I don’t like this rule I’m going to say it’s a fake

Headline I mean I know that they’re trying to reinvent the game but I just don’t think that that progresses the game at all I mean don’t you want to do things that you think that the NFL will adapt I mean or like will draw in more F

I don’t see how that would draw in more fans I think it would become frustrating I think it would make it tough too on remember what drives a lot of of the world we live in now sports betting and I think this would throw off a lot of

Sports bets so so I think this is false god man completely false yeah man you guys are on it so air I thought that was pretty good I came up with that that it would be an interesting rule no yeah I would say don’t use it though on field

Goals you can’t like that’s not but I envisioned like the offensive team did a do over they made the field goal and all of a sudden the defense says wait a minute we got a timeout we’re going to do a do over and let the but yeah or

Like let’s say like it’s fourth and three and like it gets a quarterback run and he runs right into the guard you know like maybe they do it again and you pass it to a receiver or of a a bad wait a minute what what did you hear what he

Just said moving that was that was torn from reality oh boy okay here’s one more Mickey’s House of hores and you probably heard about this how with the turn of the year the Mickey Mouse the Steamboat Willie and all those early drawings of Mickey Mouse became public domain

Meaning that the public could use those free of charge and use their basic interpretations of that drawings for their products and sell them for free of charge without paying any uh things so I didn’t know this is that like a big like is that going to bring in a bunch of who

Cares about well Wasing no time this filmmaker has already made a horror flick called Mickey’s Mouse Trap where a group of kids sneak into an amusement park and are chased by a Mas kill addressed as Mickey Mouse the slasher movie is set to be released in March so

Wait I thought it was just limited to the this photo of Mickey driving the steamboat no you can take that photo in the image and those are the early drawings of Mickey Mouse this is name image likeness for Mickey and you can basic now the now the Later drawings of

Mickey those are still you can’t you know those are in public domain but you’re saying if this article’s true this old the first Mickey this is public domain uh you know any characters based on this likeness of Mickey would be you could do anything with right okay but

And this is uh sorry I I missed the detail is this an animated movie or is this a this is a real movie wasting no time yeah real horror flick okay mhm yeah I I just see uh lawyers all over this there’s I just don’t to see how

They could because it’s not going to be a perfect replication of steamboat Mickey and it’s going to become a little too uh you know it’s gonna sour the name of Mickey Mouse and as you try to draw in kids to come to Disney World uh they’re going to be scared that Mickey’s

Got like a a giant like butcher knife I got to chop your head off come here kid post for the picture yeah I just think Disney would like never let that fly and I got to imagine they have some of the better lawyers in the world so uh yeah

I’m going to say fake man um okay I’m going to say real because we saw this last year with Winnie the Pooh did you see Winnie the Pooh was in a slasher film called Winnie uh let’s Winnie Winnie the Poo Blood and Honey yeah and because he and piglet their images were

You know public domain now and so some and I think there’s a sequel in the works so I I would not put it past someone out there to make money off of this so I’m going to say true it is completely true can you believe that and

There the trailer is out it’s I think it’s only going to be an online movie so it’s not going to be a mass theater release mass murder yeah okay I’m got to look up this but you should look up the uh trailer it it’s kind of creepy was actually call

But a guy running around chasing kids with a uh what is going what is wrong with our society where we’re taking these innocent animated things that were were part of our childhood and now we’re turning them into serial killers this is a reflection of our culture people we

Have to stop doing this give Winnie Pooh back his pants and back to he never wore pants yeah I know Christopher Robin get him stuck in that tree with honey and and you know this is just it’s awful this is the this is the LA Times head

Not as reputable as the not Paz LA Times headline Steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse goes public spawns horror films that’s the world we live in now oh my gosh yeah okay oh boy oh well I’m going to watch it I’ll watch it though did you watch

The the Poo killer no no no the trailer was too violent for me I mean who who wants to see piglet with with bort tusks yeah like he did he had bortusk he was really Tigger was like this vicious like saber-tooth tiger was his word yeah I don’t know but

Eeyore’s tail you know was actually wasn’t the only thing pinned on him he had yeah it was grotesque this is not how I wanted to start out 2024 I mean The nodpod Gazette headlines are fine it’s just uh that’s that’s a little sour this will still be better than the bar

Lost my faith in humanity still be better than the Barbie movie though okay all right well I appreciate it BK happy 2024 to you guys you never look better um okay so that was a good show and uh I is this going to be our last discussion
