00:00 All right, Vivang, it's the rundown.
00:04 It's Monday, it's December 18th.
00:05 I'm Eddie, I'm hosting here.
00:07 We got Nikki Smokes, we got Benjamin Mintz.
00:10 This rundown is presented by High Noon.
00:13 The High Noon Alprez pack is here featuring the top four High Noon vodka seltzer flavors
00:18 as ranked by Alprez himself.
00:20 These flavors include passion fruit, pineapple, pear, and an all new flavor, tangerine, all
00:25 made with real vodka and real juice.
00:27 This 12 pack is only here for a limited time, so get it while you can.
00:31 Just look for the pack with Dave's face on it.
00:33 You can even scan the QR code on the pack and have Alprez virtually join your party.
00:38 Visit highnoonspirits.com to find the Alprez pack nearest to you.
00:42 Yeah, I mean, the tangerine, I don't know if you've tried that yet, Nick.
00:46 My favorite one ever.
00:47 Oh, really?
00:48 Yeah, it's number one.
00:49 It used to be pineapple number one, now it's tangerine 1,000%.
00:53 It's safely in my top four.
00:54 I still got pear ahead of it, but-
00:56 Really?
00:57 Yes.
00:58 Pear.
00:59 Pear's awesome, especially the way the High Noon pear smells.
01:01 There's something about it that makes it even better.
01:04 Where's tangerine on your list?
01:05 Is it top two, top four?
01:08 I would say right now I'd go pear, kiwi.
01:13 Wow, that's a crazy take.
01:16 Don't sleep on the kiwi.
01:17 That's a crazy take.
01:18 I'm telling you.
01:19 And then definitely watermelon, and then the last spot's a cage match between tangerine
01:23 and peach.
01:24 Wow.
01:25 You don't even have pineapple up there.
01:26 No.
01:27 I like pineapple, but it's just not my favorite.
01:29 What?
01:30 Yeah, so go get the Prez pack, though.
01:32 It's definitely my favorite pack for sure.
01:33 All right, obviously going to start with NFL Sunday.
01:37 Not to insert myself fully, but I do feel like the Bears play the most tension-packed
01:42 game or drama-packed game.
01:45 Obviously, from an outsider's perspective, Nick, you could-
01:48 Well, I mean, I was basically a Bears fan all Sunday, because I bet them.
01:52 I was rooting for them.
01:53 Some even say I rooted for them more than White Sox Dave did.
01:56 I guess he wants them to lose.
01:58 I wanted them to win.
01:59 I thought they played a good game, but I felt your pain.
02:03 I'm obviously not a Bears fan, but I'm a Dolphins fan, so I know what it's like to choke away
02:07 and lose games like that.
02:09 But the way you guys lost that game, that had to be heartbreaking.
02:11 And then Darnell Mooney having the touchdown right in his lap and basically kicking the
02:15 interception away, that's heartbreak.
02:18 Am I wrong when I say that I feel like Hail Marys are close to being- like they're more
02:24 attainable in today's age than they were back in the day?
02:26 Yeah, well, players figured out the tip.
02:28 Now you'll have receivers sitting on the goal line waiting for that tip.
02:32 Mooney was all over it, bro.
02:34 He fucked it up.
02:35 Yeah, Mooney's your prototypical wide receiver you would want facing the pile, because he's
02:40 not tall.
02:41 He's like 5'11".
02:42 So he's the guy you want facing the pile waiting for the tip.
02:45 And it went exactly according to plan, except he didn't catch it.
02:48 And Big Cat said that was like a gateway game for them.
02:51 Did you feel the same way?
02:52 If they won that game, are you all in?
02:54 Playoffs, we could win, keep Eberflus, keep fields.
02:57 And now is it back to let's lose every game and get a better draft pick?
03:01 Yeah, I mean, I think everyone was in the perspective of like, hey, if you've got a
03:03 chance to make the playoffs at this point, we're playing better.
03:05 We won two in a row.
03:07 We haven't won much before that, so you had a chance to go on a three-game winning streak.
03:12 Things were really coming together.
03:13 We were like starting to look more consistent, and then we just, you know, old habits, bad
03:17 habits die fast, old habits die fast.
03:19 I was just saying.
03:20 Yeah, yeah, yeah, old habits die.
03:21 We just reverted right all the way back.
03:23 So it is, like it hurt, but then again, like you do have to keep in perspective that it's
03:28 still a five-win team.
03:29 Yeah.
03:30 Like I have experienced way more hurt from that franchise than yesterday.
03:33 I think you don't tank.
03:35 Like I think y'all have got momentum right now.
03:37 Your defense is playing really well.
03:38 You already have Carolina, who's going to have the, even though they won yesterday,
03:41 they're still going to get a top two or three pick.
03:43 I mean, I don't know.
03:44 I think there's a lot of momentum with the Bears right now.
03:46 I know it's a terrible, brutal loss in gut, but like the way the defense has improved,
03:50 and you saw it yesterday for some multiple turnovers, like I'm a bigger believer in
03:55 feels I think than most, but I think y'all got things going the right way.
03:58 I just think Luke Getz, he's just a horrendously bad offensive coordinator, and y'all need someone
04:03 that's catered to feels and skill set.
04:04 Yeah, he's bad.
04:05 He's bad.
04:06 We just don't control our own destiny.
04:07 That's a bit like – We never will.
04:08 No.
04:09 Not at field.
04:10 Not at five and eight.
04:12 Are you guys still in the hunt?
04:13 Are you in the graphic?
04:14 Five and nine, no.
04:15 Oh, no.
04:16 You guys are dead.
04:17 Yeah.
04:18 That's what I'm saying.
04:19 We need a lot of help.
04:20 Don't get me wrong.
04:21 The three teams we faced, I mean, we faced the Cardinals, the Falcons, and the Packers.
04:25 That's why it was so attainable.
04:26 You win that game, you can go nine and eight, and you can always slide in.
04:31 That was pretty much the final nail in the coffin, but on the reverse, obviously, you
04:35 guys had two nice wins.
04:36 You absolutely fucking took a dump on the Jets.
04:39 And then Sam, likewise, you guys dumped on New York.
04:41 Yeah, and it was fun, too, because all the Tommy DeVito, all this madness.
04:45 What?
04:46 Are you anti-Italian?
04:47 I'm not anti-Italian at all.
04:48 You said all this bullshit.
04:50 I'm just pro watching the Saints kick the crap out of young quarterbacks.
04:53 Okay, but you said all this bullshit.
04:55 Well, I mean, the Saints were doing it yesterday.
04:57 I don't know.
04:58 What does this even mean?
04:59 But whatever.
05:00 The point is, is that all the DeVito hype and madness, that train derailed a little
05:04 bit yesterday.
05:05 And Saints 24-6 win.
05:07 I'm not letting myself get too hyped.
05:09 The Saints are 7-7.
05:10 They're tied for first in the NFC South with Tampa.
05:12 Tampa has a tiebreaker right now.
05:14 Huge Thursday night game at the Rams, who are also 7-7 Thursday.
05:18 I'm not still convinced the Saints are that good.
05:20 I think they've had a really weak schedule.
05:22 The defense dominates young quarterbacks.
05:25 So we'll see.
05:26 I mean, it's all on the line Thursday night, because right now the Saints are 7 on the
05:29 wild card.
05:30 If they beat the Rams Thursday night, I'll get excited.
05:33 I still have serious reservations about that game, though, just being truthful.
05:37 And we're kind of in the same boat as you.
05:39 I mean, our boat's a little nicer, a little more well put together.
05:41 It's a hell of a lot nicer.
05:42 Like, beating the Jets 13-0 doesn't get my dick up.
05:45 Like, Zach Wilson sucks.
05:46 Trevor Simeon sucks.
05:47 The Jets are not good.
05:48 The Dolphins are notorious for pounding shitty football teams.
05:52 But our next three games, at home against Dallas, on the road against the Ravens, at
05:56 home against Buffalo.
05:58 If we lose those three games, I will shave my asshole, pick up the hairs, put it in a
06:03 blender, mix some bleach in there, and I will drink it.
06:07 And I'm serious.
06:08 I've seen this movie way too many times with the Dolphins when they're in prime position
06:13 to rewrite history, and they just choke it away.
06:16 And I can't do it anymore.
06:17 So they need to win two of the next three games to win the division and clinch a home
06:21 playoff game.
06:22 And that's all I care about.
06:23 With all due respect, I think you should save the asshole-eating bets for, like, a more
06:27 meaningful position.
06:28 No, no, no, no, no.
06:29 This is as meaningful as it gets for the Miami Dolphins.
06:31 That or a playoff game.
06:33 I understand that, to consider if they're on Fraud Watch or not, because...
06:37 Us versus the Cowboys is the fraud bowl.
06:39 Like, we're the same exact team.
06:41 That's a...
06:42 What a fascinating game that is.
06:44 We're the same exact team.
06:46 One's in the NFC, one's in the AFC, and we're the same teams.
06:48 I don't think the Dolphins are frauds yet.
06:50 But if they lose the next three games, they're frauds.
06:53 I don't even want to make the playoffs if they lose the next three games.
06:56 I got to give you all credit, though.
06:57 I know that the Jets are bad and all that stuff, but, like, Tyree Kiel was out.
07:01 That line went down from eight to seven.
07:04 And y'all came out, look...
07:05 That's the effort you want to see them bounce back.
07:06 That Monday night loss was obviously horrible.
07:08 There's no getting around it.
07:09 But you didn't let it linger to the next week.
07:12 You friggin' came out, shut out the Jets.
07:15 You know, that was a state...
07:16 You know, I know the Jets aren't great, but that's still...
07:17 That's what you want to see.
07:18 You want to see that resiliency.
07:19 I agree.
07:20 And just fascinating.
07:21 That Dallas game next week, and I'm sure we're about to get into that.
07:24 The Dallas-Miami game next week is one of the most fascinating NFL games of the entire
07:27 season.
07:28 I agree.
07:29 I think easily.
07:30 From a full football perspective-wise, it's a fun year, I think.
07:33 Every week, it's like the Eagles are, you know, the top of the class for the NFC, and
07:37 then now all of a sudden they're not.
07:38 You know, everyone's down to the 49ers.
07:39 Now the 49ers look unbeatable.
07:40 They're the best team in football.
07:41 Cowboys are the best.
07:42 I think the Niners are the best team, and I don't even think it's close.
07:44 Yeah, but that shit just keeps fading and going up and down, you know what I mean?
07:49 No, no, and the AFC is wide open.
07:51 I mean, you look around the AFC right now.
07:53 I mean, I think the Ravens are the favorite, especially after the win last night in Jacksonville.
07:58 But you know, Buffalo's getting hot.
08:00 You know, you got Miami.
08:01 I mean, nobody knows anything.
08:03 You can never count out the Chiefs with Mahomes.
08:06 You know, I feel like the AFC is as wide open as it's been in a long time.
08:08 Although the Chiefs do look kind of broken, and I know they pummeled the Patriots pretty
08:12 much yesterday, but they just don't look right.
08:15 They're just one of those teams, if they get in, though, they could win.
08:17 It was like Brady with the Bucs.
08:19 Like that year, that whole regular season, they looked eh, and then Brady got in the
08:23 playoffs and he did his thing and they won the Super Bowl.
08:25 That's the same thing could happen with the Chiefs.
08:26 The other thing with the Chiefs this year that people aren't realizing, yeah, the offense
08:29 is definitely not as good.
08:30 I mean, obviously, you can watch them, you see the stats there.
08:32 This is the best defense they've had in 25 years.
08:34 And so, as bad as the offense looks and they don't look the same, their defense is keeping
08:39 them in every game.
08:40 I mean, Chris Jones is a mom, and they got some dudes all that day.
08:42 I'm excited for – I mean, obviously, I wish the Bears were in it, but I'm excited for
08:45 the playoffs.
08:46 I think it's going to be a fun one.
08:47 I think the animals just want to fast forward and get to the playoffs.
08:49 Yeah, but it's still great, though, because there's still a lot of good games before them.
08:54 I'm – So nervous.
08:55 I know.
08:56 That's good.
08:57 You've got that feeling inside late in the year, dude.
08:58 I mean, you know?
08:59 I want the feeling of I'm division champs and I know I have a home playoff game.
09:03 I don't like the nervousness of if the Dolphins lose the next three games, they might not
09:07 even get in.
09:08 I can't fathom that.
09:09 No, it's all in the line.
09:10 I can't fathom that.
09:11 Yeah, like I'm kind of invested in the Dolphins.
09:13 They're a fascinating team.
09:15 The Bills are a fascinating team.
09:16 Yeah, and the Bills yesterday.
09:17 Let's get into that for a minute.
09:19 That was the most – was that the most dominant effort we've seen in pro football this year?
09:22 It's got to be one of them.
09:23 Yeah.
09:24 I love them.
09:25 They came out at home and they beat the hell out of Dallas and James Cook – James Cook's
09:30 an emerging star.
09:32 And the biggest thing with them, I got all this heat on Twitter.
09:35 When they fired Ken Dorsey from office of coordinator and they promoted Joe Brady, I
09:39 got on there and I'm like, "This is the best move they can make is Ken Dorsey abandons
09:42 the run every game."
09:43 They forget James Cook's on the team.
09:45 They're in third and 10, third and 12.
09:47 Allen turns the ball over a ton because they don't stay ahead of the down distance and
09:51 they don't stay balanced.
09:52 And now they've committed to the running game and they're asking Allen to be in less
09:56 high leverage situations.
09:57 I know he's still going to turn the ball over, but it's definitely less.
10:00 And look what's happening.
10:01 I think he barely broke 100 yards yesterday and they won 31 to 10.
10:04 That's crazy.
10:05 And run the ball and play defense and like just – I don't know.
10:08 I just thought that was dominant effort.
10:09 So like everyone's frauds.
10:10 Four teams have got to make it to the conference championship.
10:13 Yeah.
10:14 And so I'm like, "Who's it going to be?"
10:15 I can't pick who's going to come out of the AFC.
10:17 I can't even pick the two teams that will play in the AFC championship game.
10:21 But I think that's good.
10:22 I think the NFC will definitely be Niners and then whoever wants to get beat by the
10:26 Niners.
10:27 The NFC thing though, like the thing with the AFC is the depth is so much bigger in
10:31 the AFC.
10:32 Like the NFC, I mean you're talking about wild card like I said, the Saints are like
10:36 in the wild card thing.
10:37 The only team that looks dangerous to me that could be a wild card in the NFC is the Rams.
10:42 I think the Rams are good.
10:43 Really?
10:44 I think the Rams are good.
10:45 Is the AFC championship good?
10:46 I mean, I just think they could win a road playoff game or two.
10:48 I like that.
10:49 If the Rams, if Stafford goes back to Detroit, you're telling me you don't think the Rams
10:52 would win that game?
10:53 That'd be something.
10:54 You know what I'm saying?
10:55 Like I just think McVay and Stafford, they've won a Super Bowl.
10:58 Like Stafford was banged up some this year, but when he's played, they've been good.
11:02 They're 7-7, but I think they're a good football team.
11:05 Good tip.
11:06 Moving on, UFC 296.
11:09 Sean Strickland got in a fight in the stands.
11:11 Patty the Batty, huge win.
11:14 Colby got smoked.
11:15 Nick, did you watch it?
11:17 Yeah, I watched it.
11:18 Colby's just an absolute fraud.
11:20 I mean, he's had so many chances to be a champion, he just chokes it away.
11:24 I hope President Trump denounces him and stops claiming him because he's just a fucking walking
11:28 embarrassment.
11:29 You can't call out LeBron like that and have an after.
11:30 No, you can call out LeBron.
11:32 LeBron's a scum, but you can't call out someone's dead dad and then fight like a pussy the entire
11:37 fight and get whooped.
11:38 Like you can't do that.
11:39 It was sad because it was uncharacteristically like him.
11:42 He's always like the guy who brings the heat.
11:44 He always brings pressure in fights.
11:46 He just looks kind of flat.
11:48 Yeah, he looks like what he is.
11:49 He's a fraud.
11:50 I used to fuck with Colby, but you only get so many chances to be a champion and you go
11:54 out there and you shit down your leg every single time.
11:57 He doesn't deserve it.
11:58 They should stop giving him title fights.
11:59 You got anything?
12:00 Man, I just think if you're going to run your mouth like that, you got to back it up.
12:04 I know that's what the UFC and the fight game is.
12:06 You're building the hype, but he talked a lot.
12:10 That persona only works if you're winning.
12:13 It gets tough fast if you're not.
12:17 I mean, hey, I'm happy for Patty.
12:18 I thought that was a dangerous spot for the being and he pummeled Ferguson.
12:22 I mean, I'm not happy for Patty.
12:24 It was my last leg of the parlay and I had Ferguson.
12:27 You went against Ferguson?
12:28 I was an idiot.
12:29 I just like the juice.
12:31 I was getting plus 235 and I got bought into the David Goggins hype and I paid the price.
12:37 I'm glad I got my foot in my mouth.
12:38 I know he's a Barstool guy, so shout out Patty the Batty.
12:41 That's on me for fading the brand like a loser.
12:43 A lot of people thought it was a no-win situation for him.
12:46 He was such a big favorite.
12:47 Yeah, but if he wins, he beats a guy who's lost six fights in a row.
12:51 If he loses, he loses to a guy who's a killer, who was top tier at one point in his career.
12:57 I'm surprised Ferguson didn't leave his gloves in the octagon and just retire.
13:00 He needs to retire.
13:01 Dana White said he should retire.
13:02 That was bad.
13:03 He got whooped.
13:04 Yeah, he's kind of in a bad way right now.
13:06 I don't know.
13:07 We'll see.
13:08 Obviously, everyone's focused on Colby.
13:09 Edwards, you've got to put a lot of respect on that dude, too.
13:12 I have to.
13:13 He's a real deal.
13:14 I mean, everyone thought that once he beat Usman the first time, that was it.
13:17 He was just going to lose the rematch.
13:18 He's defended his title very well.
13:21 Good card overall.
13:22 I saw they announced 300.
13:23 I'm pumped for that.
13:24 I think it's in April.
13:25 Is that MSG?
13:26 They have one coming up in Miami, too.
13:27 That's going to be a banger.
13:28 They're going to do it.
13:29 Do that?
13:30 Yeah.
13:31 Hopefully, they get Jones.
13:32 I don't know if Jones will be back in time yet.
13:33 I hope.
13:34 Or Stipe, but I pray.
13:35 I hope so.
13:36 I don't know if he's going to be back in time today, but I pray.
13:38 Next story here.
13:39 The US Senate has a gay porn scandal.
13:41 Apparently, a congressional staffer has been accused of filming amateur gay porn inside
13:46 of a Senate hearing room.
13:48 There was a video that shows a staffer was engaging in sex acts in the Hart Senate office
13:54 building in Washington, D.C.
13:55 One photo shows a man on his hands and knees facing the camera while wearing only a jockstrap.
14:00 The content was allegedly shared in a private group for gay men in the political scene.
14:05 Vince, what do you got on gay porn?
14:09 Look, I'm never going to judge what other people do with their life, but when you're
14:13 talking about doing it in the United States, the White House, that's probably not very
14:18 smart.
14:19 I actually read an article that got sent on it to just be a little more educated.
14:22 They're saying that it's possible they were doing it to try to sell it and make money,
14:27 and then that makes it a total ... The article I read was funny.
14:30 They were like, "Oh, people have been having sex in the White House for years.
14:33 Just nobody's ever tried to sell it."
14:35 Apparently, that takes it to a whole other level.
14:38 Shout out Bill Clinton.
14:39 Then, of course, the jokes were like, "Oh, well ..." The guy who got caught, his mom
14:45 is saying, "He's not doing well.
14:47 He's taking it real hard."
14:48 I mean, sometimes the jokes, they write themselves, no?
14:52 Yeah, man.
14:53 Sometimes they do.
14:54 What do you got, gay porn?
14:57 Look, you could stick your meat wherever you want.
14:59 It's none of my business, but it doesn't surprise me.
15:02 I think our government's just a bunch of pedophiles.
15:04 I don't know if they'll cut that out, but they're the shadiest bastards in the entire
15:08 world.
15:09 They do way worse shit than gay porn.
15:10 I can assure you of that.
15:12 I don't support it.
15:15 You could be gay, do what you want.
15:17 I don't support what they do behind closed doors.
15:19 I think they're all a bunch of shady bastards.
15:21 Thanks for clarifying that, Nick.
15:22 I like that mince.
15:24 I think you actually made a good point.
15:25 It's a capitalist aspect of it that they're trying to sell it and make gains financially
15:31 on it.
15:32 They were saying that changed everything.
15:33 The article I read was like, "Look, everybody knows stuff like this has been going on in
15:38 the White House, but to actually film it and try to make a gain off it, apparently that
15:43 takes it to a whole other level."
15:44 Yeah, there's a difference if you just want to go center court right here and have a nice
15:47 little-
15:48 I'm sure it's a thrill to try to bang in the White-
15:51 That's a little DT.
15:52 Think about it, though.
15:53 You're a staffer in the White House.
15:54 You're trying to bang in the White House.
15:55 You're trying to center court.
15:56 I can see that being a thrill.
15:57 You were taking some girl doggie style right there, mince.
16:00 It's different if you're trying to make money on it.
16:02 The best way to fight in-
16:03 I don't know who would pay for that.
16:05 You don't think so?
16:07 I don't know.
16:08 I don't know.
16:09 I'd pay to see that.
16:10 Yeah.
16:11 I think that'd be cool.
16:12 Like mince a raw dog in someone?
16:13 Y'all are all ... I got no comment.
16:14 I've been in enough stuff this year to where I need to recuse myself from this conversation.
16:20 Come on.
16:21 Come on.
16:22 It's a lot of them.
16:23 Come on.
16:24 I'm not going to say anything.
16:25 I'm not going to say anything.
16:26 I'm not going to say anything.
16:27 I'm not going to say anything.
16:28 I'm not going to say anything.
16:29 I'm not going to say anything.
16:30 I'm not going to say anything.
16:31 I'm not going to say anything.
16:32 I'm not going to say anything.
16:33 I'm not going to say anything.
16:34 I'm not going to say anything.
16:35 I'm not going to say anything.
16:36 I'm not going to say anything.
16:37 I'm not going to say anything.
16:38 I'm not going to say anything.
16:39 I'm not going to say anything.
16:40 I'm not going to say anything.
16:41 I'm not going to say anything.
16:42 I'm not going to say anything.
16:43 I'm not going to say anything.
16:44 I'm not going to say anything.
16:45 I'm not going to say anything.
16:47 I think that will be fun.
16:48 Look, obviously I don't know Tom Brady, but he seems like a guy that will be able to take it well.
16:53 He kind of, you know, he obviously is his own dude, and we all know he's all the time the greatest quarterback in history.
16:59 He's such a competitor and stuff.
17:00 But, you know, as he's retired, and even in his last couple years with the Bucs, when he got away from New England,
17:05 you started seeing more of his personality because in New England it was like super tight.
17:09 He never said nothing.
17:10 And that was like the Patriot way, the Belichick way.
17:12 It was like keep your mouth shut.
17:13 Just do your job.
17:14 But, you know, we're seeing more and more of his personality, and I think he can take it.
17:18 I think it's going to be really funny.
17:19 I think he'll take it well.
17:21 Nick?
17:22 I'm excited to see.
17:23 I just don't know how you're going to roast Tom Brady.
17:25 He's beautiful.
17:26 He's got seven Super Bowl rings.
17:28 I think there's plenty of stuff to roast him for.
17:29 Like what?
17:30 Kissing his son on the lips?
17:31 Yeah, like that kind of weird thing, like the Guerrero.
17:34 I think there's stuff to roast him for.
17:36 And I think this is the moment where we figure out if the roast has jumped the shark or not.
17:40 Yeah, if they step up to the plate and actually grill him or if they give him a pass.
17:44 Yes, if it's just like, "Hey, Tyree helmet catch," then it's like, "All right, the roasts are dead."
17:48 But given the names on there--
17:49 Maybe get him for like deflated balls.
17:51 Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:52 Like, sure, they're going to make some football jokes, but if it's just all football shit and it's nothing roast-worthy,
17:57 which is how they've traditionally been, the roasts are dead.
18:00 How would you go after him?
18:01 I mean, like I just said.
18:02 I feel like you could get the Giselle stuff.
18:04 You might go after him.
18:06 But see, I don't know if you bring ex-wife into a roast.
18:09 Do they do that?
18:10 I think everything's on the table.
18:12 Oh, yeah, everything's on the table.
18:13 Especially that lineup.
18:14 The lineup they have is great.
18:16 Dude, when they did Bob Saget, they were making fun of him about Mary-Kate and Ashley and stuff,
18:21 calling him like a creep.
18:23 And he was like, "Oh, that hurt my feelings."
18:25 I don't know. It was like a big thing. Go look into it.
18:27 Given that the name of comedian is on, I do think that it will be good because Sigura--
18:32 Chris Rock, obviously two real deal comedians.
18:36 We saw Sigura came up with Garth Brooks, so who knows what's going to come up with Tom Brady.
18:39 Exactly.
18:40 So it's a good list of comedians as well.
18:45 So I think it'll be fine.
18:47 But if it doesn't, the roasts are dead.
18:50 Last story here, the New Jersey Transit bull update.
18:53 Last Thursday we talked about a bull that got on the loose of the tracks, causing delays in New Jersey Transit.
18:58 We've since learned that the bull's name is Ricardo.
19:01 He escaped a slaughterhouse.
19:03 He was eventually caught, but instead of taking him back to the slaughterhouse,
19:07 he is being taken to the Skylands Animal Sanctuary,
19:09 where he will have 232 acres to graze and roam freely for the rest of his life.
19:14 He's earned it.
19:15 That's a happy story.
19:16 I mean, that is a happy story.
19:18 You know, Ricardo's really made an impression on the world.
19:21 Although I bet you not everyone's happy that Ricardo's happy.
19:25 Like if he delayed your commute that day--
19:27 Oh, Frank Teng didn't look happy.
19:29 Frank Teng didn't look happy about it.
19:30 That's what I'm saying. Could you imagine if Ricardo--
19:32 We did like a running of the bulls with Frank and Ricardo.
19:34 Yeah.
19:35 If you're in the slaughterhouse and you get out, you deserve your freedom.
19:38 For sure.
19:39 Oh, great.
19:40 Yeah, that should be like a rule.
19:41 That's like getting out of whatever, the toughest jails.
19:45 Yeah.
19:46 You know, like Alcatraz or something, you know, for bulls.
19:50 Yeah, like you've got to tip the hat.
19:52 I wonder if it's like teachable.
19:54 Like to tell the other bulls, like, "Yeah, all you've got to do is escape, and they'll save you."
19:59 Yeah, like who did Ricardo get word from?
20:01 And is Ricardo going to try to give him--like is he going to, you know--
20:05 Is he going to come back to the slaughterhouse and try to help other bulls escape?
20:08 That's what I'm saying.
20:09 You know, Ricardo probably had some friends in there.
20:10 Yeah, 100%.
20:12 100%.
20:13 His boys.
20:14 I wonder how he knew, though.
20:16 Like they don't like--they're not slaughtering them in front of the other bulls, I hope, right?
20:19 I mean, he definitely hears them get murked.
20:21 Yeah.
20:22 Yeah.
20:23 He probably noticed some of his friends were leaving and not coming back, too.
20:26 Yeah.
20:27 Or his young calves.
20:29 Dude, I'm in on Ricardo.
20:31 He didn't fuck up my community.
20:32 I fuck with Ricardo.
20:33 I was--oh, hell yeah.
20:35 Good for Ricardo, man.
20:36 He earned a great rest of his life, you know?
20:38 Would you ever let Ricardo live here, Ben?
20:41 At the office?
20:43 Only if we could bull ride him.
20:45 Yeah, I don't know.
20:46 I don't know if Ricardo and this beautiful wood floor would match.
20:50 Imagine you riding a bull.
20:52 Have you done that?
20:53 No.
20:54 Would you?
20:56 I would rather not, but I wouldn't say never say never.
20:58 Would you ride--
20:59 It would have to be--the monetary incentives would have to be pretty damn good.
21:04 What about this?
21:05 You got to pick one.
21:06 You got to ride Ricardo 100 times, or you got to shoot a porno on the golf simulator
21:12 to do live content again at Barstool Sports.
21:14 What are you picking?
21:16 I think I'm riding Ricardo.
21:17 100 times.
21:18 Oh, hell no.
21:19 I don't know, man.
21:20 I just--the porno thing.
21:21 The porno thing.
21:22 You get fresh pussy.
21:23 I know, but, man, the porno--I mean, I'm not saying--
21:25 Or ride a bull 100 times.
21:27 That's a no-brainer.
21:28 Yeah, I get what you're saying, but just--I don't know.
21:31 I mean, are they going to post it everywhere?
21:33 I'm a little paranoid about that.
21:35 It'll be on one site.
21:37 Nobody knows what it is.
21:38 It won't be titled, like, Ben Mintz or anything.
21:40 Is his face in it?
21:41 He's wearing the Hannibal Lecter mask that he wore yesterday.
21:43 That's kind of pimp.
21:45 Maybe.
21:46 All right, that might change a little bit.
21:47 I just--I don't know.
21:48 Like, once you're--I don't know.
21:49 That was not a dilemma I was prepared for going into this, guys.
21:54 I don't really know how to answer that.
21:55 All right, well, then, let's get into your real-life dilemma.
21:57 We've got a bunch of them.
21:58 Yeah.
21:59 Boys, we've got a few things going on.
22:00 New week, baby.
22:01 New week.
22:02 One day, new week.
22:03 Knock on wood.
22:04 You never--like, I feel like--you know, I'm careful to say, like,
22:08 this week has to be better than last week, but, like, sometimes you fall, though,
22:12 and you can keep falling.
22:13 I mean, I feel like I've done that in my three, three and a half years.
22:16 Yeah, but right now they kind of got you, like, walking around in bubble wrap.
22:19 Yeah, well, so--
22:20 Don't wake up, Mintzy.
22:21 So it's hard to go online.
22:22 We'll give the quick summary of it.
22:24 Wake up, Mintzy's suspended.
22:26 Not canceled, though.
22:27 We're not canceled, so that's a positive.
22:29 I'm banned from live programming for the moment.
22:31 So yesterday--I'm sure we'll get a clip of this--I had to--I showed up in my
22:35 Silence of the Lambs Hannibal Lecter mask and I had to sit in the back of the
22:38 stream and not talk.
22:40 [Indistinct chatter]
22:48 Ricky Williams?
22:49 Saints?
22:52 Camara, that's what Mintzy's trying to say.
22:55 What was it, three scores six times?
22:57 Camara had six.
22:58 Camara had six.
22:59 Was that the Christmas game?
23:01 Yeah, yeah, I lost fantasy.
23:03 Yeah, the Christmas game in 2020.
23:05 You know, so that's a thing.
23:06 My dumb ass--not only did I get wake up, Mintzy suspended, I had to run my mouth
23:11 about this terrible Green Bay play that Dave fired huge on yesterday, and then
23:16 Baker Mayfield comes up--not just plays the best game of the season, one of the
23:19 best games of his career.
23:21 He just torched those son of a bitches, dude.
23:23 I mean, it was--
23:24 I had the bucks, though.
23:25 Yeah, good for you.
23:27 But so then Dave was all that, so he just--I mean, I had a rough week with Dave
23:32 last week.
23:33 There's no getting around it.
23:34 Can I ask how the Packers came into your mind while Dave was ripping you a new
23:38 asshole?
23:39 I just had looked at the lines the day before and I really thought they were in
23:41 a good bounce back.
23:42 So you got ripped and you were probably like, "All right, let me at least give
23:45 Perez a winner so I'll be on his good side," and then they lost--
23:48 I was just kind of trying to change the conversation.
23:51 But I just picked a bad topic.
23:53 I was getting torched in the office and we had kind of an awkward--he'd lit me up
23:57 and then there's that awkward silence, and I was like, "You know what?
24:00 I went through the game just trying to--I really like this game.
24:02 I don't know.
24:03 I should have picked a different conversation, okay?"
24:05 In hindsight, that was not--
24:06 No different game.
24:08 That, too.
24:09 And then, yeah, so Dave just--I got it from all--I mean, last week--I've had
24:13 about five or six of these in my three, three and a half years at Barstool,
24:17 where it's just like all gone super viral and super wrong, like 2021 Omaha.
24:22 And then actually last year at the very end before Christmas was when Tommy Smokes
24:27 arrested me and all that.
24:29 I had that nuclear--I had like--it was like the exact same time a year later I'm
24:33 going through it again.
24:34 But what are you going to do?
24:35 You know, I'm still here.
24:37 I'll say this.
24:38 After everything I went through this year, you know, as we all know,
24:42 I got let go of my pen and stuff.
24:43 I mean, my skin's pretty damn thick, boys.
24:45 You know, I know I take it a lot, but I can take it.
24:48 You know, I mean, if you're not a resilient person, you're working for the
24:51 wrong company because that's what this job is.
24:54 You're going to be in the public eye.
24:55 When things go wrong, you just got to deal with it.
24:57 So it is what it is.
24:59 I'm here.
25:00 The sun came up today--well, kind of.
25:01 Still here.
25:02 Yeah.
25:03 The crazy thing is, Mincy, is if that pick hits, wake up Mincy could be
25:06 live today.
25:07 Yeah, that's true.
25:08 I didn't want it to be live again, man.
25:10 I think we've all learned that's not for the best.
25:12 We're going to get a dump button.
25:13 We're going to get a dump button.
25:14 We're going to come back.
25:15 We're going to group.
25:16 We're going to evaluate beginning of--look, dude, there's a difference
25:19 between suspension and canceling.
25:21 Yeah.
25:22 So I'm still optimistic.
25:23 But, Mincy, what about the people who are like, "Hey, just two strokes of
25:26 bad luck, like it can't happen three times"?
25:28 Do you think you deserve a shot at live redemption at some point ever?
25:32 You're only down 0-2.
25:35 Two out of 12 is a tough ratio, though.
25:37 Yeah.
25:38 17%.
25:39 You know, that's a tough--even though, I mean, Jordan shot 83% from the
25:42 foul line in his career, it was like 85%, something like that.
25:45 You know, you miss a little bit.
25:46 No, I definitely want to come back, but I would prefer it.
25:50 We're going to get a dump button and all that.
25:52 I'm just hoping that I'm not--who knows how long I'm banned from live content
25:56 here, but, you know, I'm going to roll with it as I always do.
26:00 But that would be unfortunate if I can't be on the football show.
26:02 It's a little bittersweet.
26:03 I mean, you're banned from live content has been good live content.
26:06 Well, it has so far, but what's that going to be in two or three months?
26:09 It's good in the time being.
26:11 I mean, I want to be able to go on radio with it, you know, like stuff like that.
26:15 It's a little bittersweet that we're standing in front of the wake-up Mincy
26:18 set this morning.
26:19 Yeah, it's a tough scene.
26:21 But, hey, you know what, though?
26:22 We're about to have the holidays.
26:23 We're going to regroup.
26:24 We're going to get our minds right, and we're going to come back with a new
26:26 energy in 2024, and we're going to crush it, boys.
26:28 And Chicago's freaking great.
26:30 Love the office.
26:31 Love the people.
26:32 I mean, I don't know.
26:33 I'm just really happy I moved up here, and things are good.
26:35 Good.
26:36 Bounce back.
26:37 Bounce back, Mincy.
26:38 All right.
26:39 A couple other things to get into.
26:40 I want to mention new year of college football.
26:43 Ole Miss is coming for every one of all your team's best players.
26:47 It's the freaking best thing I've ever seen.
26:49 We took the freaking all SEC, Florida, all Princely, all those bad-ass
26:53 pass rushers.
26:54 We go take Tennessee's top pass rusher in safety, number one linebacker in the
26:58 portal of Arkansas, number one receiver in South Carolina, safety from Oklahoma.
27:02 We think we're about to get the number one overall D-lineman for Maynham.
27:05 It's a new world.
27:06 I never thought you'd see a day where people are like, "Nah, man, I don't want
27:09 to play in the Swamp or Neyland.
27:11 I want to go to Oxford, Mississippi."
27:13 Lane Kiffin, unbelievable.
27:15 I'm glad to be a small part of it, selling these brick watches for the Grove
27:18 Collective.
27:19 Just nuts.
27:20 I never thought -- And you did the schedule release.
27:22 You basically are Ole Miss.
27:23 Yeah.
27:24 Hey, the schedule release was fun.
27:25 I think Walker was a little mad, apparently, that FaceTime.
27:27 You should take a little credit for all the recruits coming.
27:29 They probably just want to be your friend.
27:31 I kind of do, I think.
27:32 Like, I really got a good thing going with Ole Miss and the athletic department,
27:35 and I have a good relationship with Lane.
27:37 You do.
27:38 And, of course, in the typical Barstool fashion, that video comes out right as
27:43 it's rockin'.
27:44 Yeah, most of the time.
27:45 I mean, you can't make this stuff up.
27:47 The timing is always elite.
27:49 But I just never thought -- I've been an Ole Miss fan for a long, long time,
27:52 and you're always that mid-tier SEC, and you just never thought there would be a
27:58 day where Florida and Tennessee kids are leaving Florida and Tennessee to come
28:02 to Ole Miss.
28:03 Like, not -- Yeah, if it's their backups, maybe.
28:05 But when it's, like, top guys, it's like, man, I'm just going to enjoy this.
28:08 Lane train.
28:09 Yeah, and excited about New Year's, going to the Peach Bowl in Atlanta.
28:13 That'll be a lot of fun, Ole Miss-Penn State.
28:15 Come to the SIP.
28:16 Yeah, a lot of good things going on, man, a lot of good energy.
28:20 Anything else, Mincy?
28:21 I'm just going to try to stay out of Dave's doghouse this week.
28:24 You know, I just don't see how -- it's kind of one of those things where, like,
28:29 no matter what I do, I'm going to get flamed.
28:31 But at least I'm here.
28:33 You know, I'm in the office until the office is closed Thursday.
28:37 You know, I called -- I remember last year I think I went --
28:39 Office is closed Thursday?
28:40 I think so.
28:41 Yeah.
28:42 I went south December 14th last year, and I will not be doing that again,
28:44 that's for sure, because just opening myself up to --
28:48 To old habits.
28:49 Well, just not that, just, like, leaving a week early is not the message we need
28:52 to be sending right now.
28:53 I need to stay in here and take it.
28:55 And like I said, I love being in Chicago.
28:57 But, yeah, that's -- oh, yeah, I want to make sure we mention Billy and Donnie,
28:59 Uganda.
29:00 We got to give a shout-out.
29:01 Billy kept his job with the touchdown pass.
29:03 Did they win?
29:04 No.
29:05 Oh, shit, I didn't even know that.
29:07 Yeah, I don't think they won.
29:08 Oh, damn.
29:09 Is that a spoiler?
29:10 We're not live.
29:11 No, they already tweeted it.
29:12 But they tweeted it.
29:13 Oh, okay, all right.
29:14 Yeah, but Billy did throw a touchdown.
29:16 Got to give Billy and Donnie credit going back to --
29:19 Brutal.
29:20 Twice, you know.
29:21 Yeah.
29:22 I mean, got to give them all respect there.
29:24 Yeah, for sure.
29:25 Hopefully they get one next time.
29:27 I don't know if there's a third time.
29:28 They got to go back until they win.
29:30 They can't just keep losing.
29:31 They scored a touchdown at least.
29:33 Did they not score a touchdown in the first game?
29:35 No, they lost 14-0 first game.
29:37 But, man, Billy looked beat up, man.
29:39 He threw the touchdown pass.
29:40 He was showing like -- it looked rough.
29:42 Apparently they treat skin stuff.
29:44 They don't give you the alcohol on your skin.
29:46 Yeah, they just burn it.
29:47 Oh, well.
29:48 Dude, he looked tough, man.
29:49 Billy's a tough dude, though, man.
29:50 I got to give him credit.
29:51 But respect to those guys for getting out and, you know, doing anything for the
29:54 content.
29:55 I admire that attitude.
29:56 Absolutely.
29:57 All right, then, I think that's it; right, boys?
29:59 Yeah.
