Chapter 2: Why are the Dallas Cowboys in disarray?
If you know me, you know I love nerding out on stats, baby. And when it comes to impressive stats, I think Chevy Silverado is the undisputed champ. We're talking best in class, 430 pound feet of standard torque, thanks to a turbo max engine. The most functional bed of any competitor, including an available multi-flex tailgate and capability ready to take on any challenge.
Think of it this way, if Silverado were a rookie quarterback hitting the combine, it would be game over. I mean, capability, versatility, and strength, that's MVP status. So head to chevy.com and score huge with Silverado today. Okay, let's go.
Yeah. Yeah.

And the Miami Dolphins might be, I'm not going to say back.
They're spoilers. They're spoilers. They win Monday Night Football. Tua looks good. And I don't know what the fuck to make of the Rams other than the fact that what the hell is going on with Sean McVay. Why are you kicking field goals on third down?
The Dolphins are technically not out of it. They're the perfect spoiler team. They might spoil a bunch of games, but if you look at the seventh seed in the AFC right now, we don't know. And this was a perfect weekend for it. All their competition for that final seed ended up losing. The Dolphins win. Tua comes back. Proves to us he can still make a tackle.
yeah credit to tua sticking his head in there that seemed like it was a bad idea but yeah mcveigh kicking a field goal on third down i don't know if that was the right decision or not they probably weren't going to win the game no that was the wrong decision and here's why if you are going to play the game of we should kick a field goal before we kick uh before we try to get a touchdown do it with like a minute and a half left at the minute you get into field first down
Yeah, but do it when you get into field goal range if you're going to go that route. Otherwise, why would you give away a down? The harder thing to do is score a touchdown. Why are you giving away a down there? Just go for it on third down and then kick the field goal. It felt like he got caught somewhere in the middle where he just didn't really make up his mind.
You have to be decisive that if you're like, hey, we got to get a field goal first –

Chapter 3: What are the latest college football updates?
But this is one of those, this falls under the category of you want your athletes to and coaches to give honest answers. And when they give honest answers, we should be like, that was an honest answer, not, holy shit, how could he say that?
I think it's a fair answer to give, but it's also knowing that you're a star player on the Dallas Cowboys, know that any piece of media you put out there is going to take an out of context. Correct. And then you're going to have to answer.
Actually, it's a great move for his podcast to be open and honest because not only do you get the initial news bump when you say something, but then you also get the clarification podcast.
Yes.
Where you go back on and address the controversy. You might ask yourself, is it wise for a star player to have a podcast and say at times inflammatory things? Or is that mostly the position that should be withheld for people that are media trained like the owner of the team?
Yes.
When he does his weekly radio hit and he does the exact same thing.
Yes.
They're just they're they're gorging the media. Like, they're just filling up the news cycle with things to talk about with the Dallas Cowboys. And somehow, Micah Parsons' quote about Mike McCarthy, Mike McCarthy's response quote about us handling it like men. We had a conversation like men do, which is a great thing to say. Like, how did you address this?

Chapter 4: What did Julius Randle say about his trade to Minnesota?
Yes. So we said there were people asking. Yeah. DJ more probably.
That's bad. The whole thing is bad. The players should want Caleb. It's correct that if the system's bad, maybe it's bad for his progress, but the players in the locker room want to win. The fact that they don't want Caleb as their QB is bad.
Caleb is broken right now.
Although it's probably just DJ Moore.
Yeah, and Eberflus has broken him to a point. I mean, you can see it when he plays. They stressed it all summer, like, hey, we want to take the aggressiveness out of him. his brain is locked up every time he drops back.
I think the players want, if a player did go to the coaching staff and say, we want to have Bajan play instead of Caleb Williams, do you think it's because that's the fix that they learned last year that worked in the short term when they put Bajan in and the offense looked a little bit better? So the solution that they have in their minds is let's get Bajan in?
Or is this a completely different problem that the Bears have this year compared to what they had last year?
They are – it's the same problem every year for the Bears. They are actually running essentially the worst anniversary year of all time. It's the 10-year anniversary of the 2014 team who – that was Mark Trestman's last year. And down to like a T, it was actually – when the season started to spiral, it was losing the Dolphins, Brandon Marshall and Robbie Gold getting in a fight in the locker room.
Always great when your kicker gets in a fight. Mm-hmm. Losing to the Patriots, that was the famous Lamar Houston towards ACL after sacking Jimmy Garoppolo when we were down 40 points. And then, so we lost the Patriots. Then the next week was the game that Aaron Rodgers threw like six touchdowns in the first half. So it went Patriots, Packers, and everything.

Chapter 5: What are the highlights from Guys on Chicks segment?
Brian Dable got hired by the Giants. He's probably going to get fired. Doug Peterson, already fired. Todd Bowles, that was kind of coach in place. Josh McDaniels, already fired. Matt Eberflus, going to get fired. Dennis Allen, already got fired. Lovie Smith, already got fired. Nathaniel Hackett, already got fired. Ten head coaching vacancies. and half of them have already been fired.
Yeah, I do like the idea, though. I think Josh McDaniels is a shitty head coach, and I don't know. At some point, another team might take a chance on him, but I like the idea of him getting back with Belichick. Yeah, that would work. Because Belichick can keep him in line a little bit. That would work. That would absolutely work. Because I feel like they do good cop.
They do good cop, bad cop, but somehow Bill Belichick is the good cop in that relationship. That's how shitty of a police officer Josh McDaniels is.
You don't understand. The Bears will never hire someone who's an alpha or a football guy. They won't. Because they just want to have Kevin Warren in an empty suit be the guy who's in charge somehow. This is never going to happen. They're never going to hire a guy who's like, this is it's my way or the highway. I'm running this. I'm bigger than the organization.
It just won't happen because that would be a good move. And they don't. It's a fork in the road. And if it's good move, they always go the other way. Memes, what do you think about Rex Ryan? Oh, some glory days? I could make a sick, sick hype video. Sometimes you got to go back to move forward. I would love Rex Ryan.
Yeah, you would. I mean, at this point, it does feel like that's the next move for the Jets, right? Is glory days.
Yep, and that fits into the historical. Hire Rex Ryan after you get rid of the Green Bay quarterback. Two AFC championships. White gets a tattoo of the next quarterback.
Yep.
Foot fetish comes back. And then you're back.

Chapter 6: How does Brian Kelly's coaching affect LSU?
utah stadium was too loud oh uh so so byu snaps it in the end zone uh they have a clear sack on them would have been a safety game over uh refs blow it dead there was an inadvertent timeout that utah was too loud and the refs got together and called a timeout oh that's bullshit that is bullshit
Okay.
I also had Utah Moneyline, and I went to sleep thinking it was over. Okay, so that is bullshit.
That is bullshit. All right, justice for Utah. BYU is going to lose a game. I'll say it right now. I'm going to predict it. Not a crazy prediction. They might lose two games down the stretch. I'm going to pull up their schedule real quick.
Isn't Utah, that's the school that has the nuclear reactor on campus where a couple years ago after a bad loss, a student said that they were going to go blow it up?
Yeah. They were going to detonate it? Yeah, that's right. BYU has Kansas, who's playing really good ball right now, at Arizona State, who's also playing really good ball, and Houston, who might be the turnaround team of the year in the fact that they were the worst team possible in September, and now they are very, very frisky. They're going to lose at least one game.
So it's been a great story, but BYU's been doing this, living very, very dangerously for a while now. Okay, anything else? I mean, the rankings, they're going to come out with the rankings. We're taping this in the afternoon, but there's nothing that can surprise me. I do think they should put more credit on SMU. That's my big thing. And I don't know. I mean... We'll see.
The SEC still has to work itself out because you have Tennessee, Georgia coming up. You have Texas A&M, Texas coming up. There's big games.
I wouldn't be surprised if Tennessee was able to beat Georgia. Yeah. Because Tennessee, they're not a great team. I just don't know about it. But Georgia's not a great team either. Georgia's offense is not that good. Tennessee's defense is pretty good. Yeah. No, Tennessee's defense is good.

Chapter 7: What are the predictions for upcoming college football games?
Episode one was very, very good.
Yeah, this one's better. You know what? I love it because this podcast wouldn't be careening towards year nine if we had kept that show.
There's more juicy stuff, too. I think episode one was good, but it was all relatively known. There's more details with this one.
Yeah, that was the best thing that's ever happened to us. By far. It sucked in the moment. It was a very bad feeling when it happened, but looking back on it, goddamn, I'm so happy I didn't have to work.
i just remember getting when it got canceled we got i got so high that i got trapped in a call of duty commercial it was like one of those when the new call of duty came out and they did like the three minute commercials and i was so high sitting on my couch trying to like numb away being canceled and i was just like the commercial got like two minutes in i was like did i change the channel where the fuck am i right now i remember what happened uh right after it was canceled you know how we dealt with her misery you guys are spoiling on the doc
Oh, okay. All right. Tune in to the doc. Tune in to the doc. Did I say the call to do anything?
Oh, shit. My bad. Did I say where we went right afterwards?
Yeah. All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right. Tune in to the doc. No spoilers. Good job.

Chapter 8: What is the significance of the Nebraska coaching change?
I also think that... What would your math tell you? 270... Well...
The only thing that I'd ask is if they had a registry. If they had a registry with, like, pots and pans, they fucked themselves. They should have just been, like, registry is cash. Yeah, right. I would expect for 270 people... I'm trying to do the math. Probably a lot of couples... I'm going to say I would expect at least 10 grand, at least a hundred bucks is what you like.
A hundred bucks is a typical, you know, depending on where you are in life. $100, I feel like, is the minimum you give at a wedding.
Is that not right? I don't know because the registry plays a important part in it. With a registry, even if the average gift on the registry is between $50 and $150, you get people that spend $100 on a gift, and then they don't necessarily put up nearly as much as they would have. That's what I'm saying. The registry is all, if there was a registry, then they fucked themselves.
If you're counting on this wedding to fund your honeymoon, then you just make a honeymoon fund instead of doing a registry at all.
Yeah. I'm saying minimums too. Like I've, I even when I didn't have money, it would be like 300, 500. Like if it's a close friend, that's what you do. Minimum is a hundred. You got to pay for your meal and the drinks. That's kind of what you do at $10 is the big, I would fucking send that back to the person.
Also, 270 people is too big for a wedding.
$10?
What do you give, Max? 100 a person? No, I give more than that. Yeah.
