(laughing) So, with that being said, let's talk my favorite Christmas movie of all time. Am it a lot of junk band Christmas? So, I'll start with this one. So, I was talking to Bradford, a little band that I had never seen before. So, there's a lot of things about this movie that why I scored it the way I did. And ironically, Brad had the same score that I did. I could not believe it. Who'd you Morocco? As they, (laughing) So, very sentimental this movie for me. Yes, this is dated, but it just comes from a time, free agenda and, you know, a lot of, for me, a lot of portable lines. You blow 'em mean, jug, Wendell. Look at the birds up in the trees. River Bottom Nightman song at the end. (laughing) Classic River Bottom Nightman band. Favorite, Chuck, the whole deal. So, my score for this and Brad's score. Thomas, got the pen and paper ready? - Yep. - My score. - Seven one. Isn't dated, yes. Sentimental gives it a little bit more points, quotable for me. It does have a cult following. If you go online, you can see a whole, I believe, Facebook page dedicated to it. They have t-shirts for the River Bottom Nightman band. There's Christmas or whatever it's out this year. I just saw 'em from Emmett Otter. So, it is a thing. You've never seen it to half an hour. You'll never get back, but it's worth watching. Seven one, me and Bradford. I'm gonna kick and tell the professor, Emmett Otter's Chuck band, Christmas. - You know who was excited about this pick was my wife, Kelly, because she loves this thing. So, we watched it and I got a million notes from this from actually from her. So, I mean, I didn't even really have to watch it, but I had seen it before, but I watched it again. I really thought it was a cute movie. It's had some good, it's got, good. You come out watching it and, I mean, it's got the good, I guess you'd call it values, it teaches you a little bit. And it's, the movie was based on the characters in Russell Hoban, back, all the way back in 1971, of the same name, and of course, Andy's favorite, Jim Henson, brought all the characters to life. But some of the, like, thinly veiled nod to O'Henry's short story, "Gift of the Magi." And the story, really, was the true gift is sacrificed on behalf of the ones you love, I guess. And it's a couple things that you may not know and Andy, I know you're a big fan of "The Puppets." So, there's a, where is it, there's a, the family donated. Jim Henson's family donated "The Puppets" from this show to the Center for Puppetry in Atlanta and they're on display right now. So, you know, if you ever down that way, now you have something to do down there. And other than that, the one thing I'd reading up on this, to try to get some background on it, the one thing I didn't realize was that while Disney owns "The Muppets," they don't own the characters from the show. So, I thought that was pretty interesting. And then the other thing I thought was really kind of bittersweet was the song, "When the River Meets the Sea," which was sung by Ma in the movie, they played it at Jim Henson's funeral. So, I thought that was pretty, pretty cool. But my score overall, I gave it a 7-2 on that one. It's good, I gotta bear, 'cause I don't know what we're gonna watch later on, what we're gonna pick for movies later on. So, I'm not gonna throw out 10s like Brad does, like every movie, you know, but I'm gonna go with a 7-2. - Okay, it's quality, quality spoiler. See, now, technically they're not puppets, Thomas, they're Muppets, it's one of them now. You know, men like Muppets, Aussie Foggsies like puppets. (laughing) It was just, it was just keepin' at that. (laughing) Dial M for men. (laughing) And then, hit us with some M and a lot of them. (laughing) - What was that? - He's a church. - He's a church. I turned Phantom. - Go to me. - All right. (laughing) - Definitely feel good movie. It's a ride back to our childhood. So, when you're watchin' it and, you know, for those that never grow up, you fall right back into the four or five year old that was watchin' it back then. So, the memories are strong. Held up, you could tell it is dated, but the characters are great. Watchin' it, now I was an adult. I was like, kinda gettin' a kick out of the scenery. I was like, really, really good in it. I didn't know if everybody knows this, but if you're into the lore, Frank Oz played Chuck. Well, did Frank Oz play Yoda? So, there's that. That's gonna bounce you up a couple of points right there, but only if you're into the lore. (laughing) My score is comin' in at a 6.7. - Not that far off. - Nope, solid childhood fun. - Yep, yep, it's timeless. That movie means enough, but if they did that with some new school CGI, it would probably do it some justice. Keep it the same, but it could use a little bit of an upgrade. And when it's going on you? - Well, I have to say, I really enjoyed it. I have not seen that movie in probably 40 years. I mean, it's been a long time since I've seen that. And I agree with everybody. It is, it's a little bit dated as far as the, with having the puppets and that type of thing. But the thing is, it's like, we grew up on that. That was Saturday night. Saturday night, what was it? 7 o'clock when the puppets came on? I mean, that was, like, but you were in your seat for that. So, I mean, I thought that the story was great. It definitely was kind of like that feel-good story. You know, it talked about sacrifice. You know, and there were some good lessons in there about, you know, at least we have each other and that type of thing. You know, I forgot that Kermit kicked off the whole show. I totally forgot all about that until I was watching it this morning. I was like, oh, wow, do you even know that? I totally forgot all about that. And, you know, and I just thought it was great, you know? And I loved, I loved the bands. It was great. I mean, I especially loved the, you know, the guitar that was in the shape of a star. And, you know, how it kind of, I mean, it was blanking in everything like that. I thought it was great. I mean, it was entertaining, you know, it definitely just, you know, especially coming into Thanksgiving and the holiday season. I thought it was great. And, you know, all about, you know, family and that type of thing and family matter. So that's a good thing. So I'm going to give it a solid seven and everybody's on it on the same page. So we got to kick to the man that's going to pick next week's movie of first reveal. I'm a lot of first shag. Well, first off, unlike Eddie, I owned the DVD. So I watch this thing multiple times every goddamn year. And I love the blooper reel, by the way. The blooper reel is great. You can ask. You guys haven't seen that go on YouTube and put the blooper reel in. It's pretty funny. It's pretty funny. Yeah. And then before I get my review, can we talk about the Riverbom nightmare bang? Can we talk about the fish? It's basically just a goddamn go-go dancer in the background. Like, it's like one of those chicks in the friggin cages. Like he has no, he doesn't do anything to the floor of the band. He just sits there dancing around his fish tank. I didn't get his part, but that song still banger all these years later. I still love that song. But as for a score, same thing. And it was nostalgic. I mean, honestly, it's not a great movie, but nostalgic rides. Like last week, I was watching it. My brother was in towns. We were actually, you know, going back to when we were little kids watching it. So I gave it a seven six. I went a little high, but for nostalgic reasons. There you go. It balances out the sample score. So it's going to be close. It's going to be a I'm going to say seven. Thomas, the average six nine seven, seven point one. There you go. Everybody on the same page. The grass doesn't grow in the places where we stop and stand. That's how it is. So it sends out the t-shirt. So Shaggy, with that being said, let everybody know what your pick is for next week. All right, to keep with this Christmas thing, I'm going National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Here we go. That's out of the vacation movies. That's probably one of my favorites, if not, absolutely. Yeah, it's right up there. And one fact, they're rebooting that book. I saw they have part two or something. Yeah. So we'll see how that goes. It's supposed to come out sometime next month. So yeah, I think it's a Netflix thing or one of those primes. I think it is. Yeah, I think so. So Christmas Vacation for next week is the homework. Are you glad Brad would know what we're doing? Phantom? Andrew? Yeah. The Phantom has the problem. Oh, Jesus. Is it up in the bathroom? Not that bad. I'm watching last week's episode. We're going through our Asha Shank reviews. Banger scores, tens, nines, nines, nines, nines. Then we get to the end. And our total is like 8.7. Yeah, I'm thinking, Baba. And I'm like, we had a 10 in there. I know at least four of us, or five of us, came in in the nines. Two scores, I think we're only in the 8s. But my conspiracy theory, Tom, do you got your tinfoil hat? I think Brad fucked it up. Because Brad threw a little joke 6.4 in there. And that's where I-- I don't know why I think it don't point to the calculations. So it's just like, fuck, that thing should be a nine point something. It is. I have the score. I redid it. I actually texted Andy earlier in the week. And I said, something didn't seem right, so I redid it. And-- Hey, I went to Vulcan. I'm not a mathematician. But I pulled that one out pretty fast. Wait, sign him out. So Shashank's overall score was a 9-1. 9-1 for Shashank, 7-1 for Emma Potter, is only two points separating those two movies. That could be the conspiracy theory going forward. So when you watch this episode and you see a 7-1 flash and a 9-1, it's made up for the difference. I think what it is is the real conspiracy, it was Brad given Rogue One a 10. I think that was his alter ego gator. I think he was trying to pull it down. I think he was trying to pull it down, just saying. I think I'll sleep on that in the theater. But that's from all of Brad's alter ego up in the WD-40. It's supposed to whip it, it's not with WD-40. [LAUGHS] Allegedly, allegedly. Kids show. It's a kid show. So, all right, let's move on from the movie reveal. And let's get into something that we're trying to put committed value, some watch along. So we had a request. We did Georgia Championship Wrestling last week. And we're going to do some vintage old school wrestling promos. So let me cue that up. And probably have to throw in a clever edit in here somewhere for the fellas. And can everybody see that? Yeah. Yeah. No, again. [MUSIC PLAYING] Logged to Austin, I know. No volume on my side here. What's going on? Log it. You got to do your own commentary. It was insane. I really think he's-- Who do you think this was back in the day? Andy, who do you think he was feuding with? Who is that? Oh, that's Austin, I know. That's Hogan stole the Hulkamania from it. Oh, no kidding. Because he used to say, "Idomanians" or "Unawired." Oh. Are you trying to tell me that Hogan steals everything? [LAUGHTER] He's trying to tell me. He just borrows it permanently. I mean, he took everything. He turned stuff from superstar Billy Graham. Yep. He took stuff from-- I think he took stuff from Dusty. Yep. I'm not a good lip reader, but I think he's saying he's going to throw someone in a figure four. I think so, too. But it's the last biggest leg lock. What do you think of that belt? How ugly that belt is? When they say belt, that's a belt. That thing says Levi's on the side. [LAUGHTER] Hey, a hammer on that thing. 1980. 1980, right there. January 27. I'm the unit Atlanta. Yeah. This was right around the time I got cable. Right here. This is-- Yeah. You were fancy. We know what side of the city you were living in, by the way. You got cable? Yeah. Well, he was on the main track there in the old fair of the Haven. Oh, Bruza. All he does is going to do the hoot-hoot-hoot type thing. I don't think any of these guys are going to go in and slowly talk. [LAUGHTER] Official expressions. Make it all. Yeah. It's already here I'm talking a promo. I wouldn't know if you're talking a promo. What did he say? And we didn't hear it. Copyright, so we can't do it. Oh. Back then, you never know who he was fighting. They threw him in with-- they had some weird feuds for him. Yup. [INTERPOSING VOICES] Let me tell you something. For five months, I've been trying to get a chance at that belt. But I got it. And everybody's looking at me and going for Ohio, right? I want to give it to you like it's the only mighty gospel. When I get in that ring, I'm going to be walking tall. I want to clean that ring. I'm going to be walking the same way. But the voice doesn't match the body. Yeah, it's true. [LAUGHTER] It is 1980. [INTERPOSING VOICES] If Dusty's got the belt, it's the summer of '81. [INTERPOSING VOICES] Dusty's still swimming off the top button, too. [LAUGHTER] The tie's coming in. That must be the height of basketball season for Dusty. [LAUGHTER] Oh. Oh. [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] You don't know. The last time I was here last week, you didn't talk to me like it. You didn't like me. Nobody like them. [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] It was like somebody smacked the shit out of him. [LAUGHTER] Guys, bleeding his nose. Oh, that kind of stuff threw it off. I didn't want to do that. I didn't want to do that. [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] I went north, I went south, I went east, I went west. And I woke them all. I beat the thieves and the fans supposed to be in the world. [INTERPOSING VOICES] I challenge him on that as a TV. I will beat your butt, boy. I will take him down here, right here, in front of you. He is invited to come here. And if I don't be, I'll never rest again. [INTERPOSING VOICES] I'll be sitting back here watching the party guys. They never wrestle in again from us. I'll never rest again. Who's the lead's town match? He looks like he's already in jail. [LAUGHTER] Looks like Stone Cold with hair and a beard. And a perm. Yes. Stone Cold might have ripped off a little Dr. D. [INTERPOSING VOICES] Oh, absolutely. [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] [INTERPOSING VOICES] As a fortune teller. (Laughter) (Inaudible) He needs to buy a 1973 podcast t-shirt. That thing is like that. (Laughter) Oh, thank you. Now you know it's near you. When the shirt comes off in an interview... It was in a full room fight pack. (Laughter) I feel like it's getting real. Oh. Oh, wait, because he ain't buying. He ain't buying a podcast and he'll be a mess. But I don't want to go far. I don't want to get started with a website that's here. And I don't want to get started. I don't want to know why they don't get a bike. (Inaudible) You look like a dancing. (Laughter) Oh, Gary Hart. (Inaudible) (Inaudible) Who's managing Muda? Kabuki, I should say. Kabuki? Gary Hart, I always thought he was a really good manager. Yeah. I thought he was a better politician. Wait, Ron. (Laughter) Is that Lawrence, Andy? The announcer from world class? World class. (Inaudible) No, Mark Lawrence, is that his name? (Inaudible) (Inaudible) Yeah, I love Sir Alfred Hayes. Who's with him? That's Gene Anderson. Oh. We love the Anderson's on this podcast. Oh. It was a man that's in shape right there. (Laughter) There's Oli. But you won't say that, but these guys, they put their hands on you. You'll know what. I think I'm fighting that guy. I think I'm trying that guy. What about this one? Nope. (Inaudible) (Laughter) Ron, just make sure that Dennis's face is in the way. Ooh. I love the comb over. I thought that was going to go different. (Laughter) He's pretty useless there. He hasn't said more than two words. He just stands there. Stared out in space. It could be in the Booker's brother. (Laughter) Look at that shirt. Goddamn. You've got a belt buckle. Bigger the champion should belt. (Laughter) That belt ain't getting around his waist. Nope, he ain't putting that one on. (Laughter) He's wearing that belt, but it must be somebody holding it in back of him. (Laughter) You can appreciate how back in the day where the announcer actually got to hold the mic. The guys don't take it from him. Yeah. Well, that's how they try to keep it closer to keeping it like a cave fave and keeping it like a real sport. Because if all the real sports interviews, they always hold the mic. They never let the guys grab the mic, you know? The best part about all these things. It was like, if you're watching it in Georgia, it's all like advertisement for Georgia wrestle and it's like going on like in town. Right. Right. I say the dream is the cream of 17. (Laughter) If they just tell me the truth, he say now. He say, "Holly race won't one more shot. He won't, one more shot. He won't, one more shot. He won't, one more shot. He won't, he won't. He said, "What, he's got the two thoughts." Well, how many, he's don't get it. Just your own, how many races. The ladies don't get it. (inaudible) All right, Larry. Harley race is a bad dude I never mess with. Oh, yeah. (inaudible) Oh, yeah. (inaudible) (inaudible) (inaudible) (inaudible) (inaudible) Oh, boy. The Terry fuck? Yes, sir. Damn. Thank you. Always, he's always good for a good form. No, it's like, with no, with no audio. It looks like he's singing. It does. You got a bunch of heat on. (inaudible) I have the audio turned on. You guys can't hear it? Nope. No. Really? I haven't turned on. Oh, good. The black of the blood. Oh, the old blood. The old X on that. (inaudible) (inaudible) (inaudible) I still say he's singing like a rhinestone cowboy. You got the same shirt on the shaggy. Don't you forget about it, baby. (inaudible) I love how they, the dates. Yeah. Every other week, you're the only. That they did run that, that place along. They were there all the time. That was like their home base almost. (inaudible) Oh, shit. Roddy Piper? Yes, sir. They believe guidance. Oh, don't you know? (inaudible) And volume now. Yeah. A little bit. In order it might be too, Andy. Remember how last week we were telling you that the, when the video is playing, I remember if it's like that for everybody. It's like, it's playing like it's in slow mode. Yeah, it is. So I don't know if the signal, if the Wi-Fi signal's not strong enough to broadcast it, then it's maybe it's cut out the volume because it's so far behind. But when you're watching it at home, you're probably watching it live and it's probably just playing through with the volume. But we can't hear anything. Yeah, it's like frame by frame. (inaudible) Turned up as loud as it'll go to. Yeah. No volume at all. It worked. The victim spoke. Yeah. (inaudible) That's it. Oh, it's on. We're done. And there it goes. Yeah. Weird. All right. Sorry about that. I'll fix it. Work it. Work it. Work it progress. That could actually be a really funny segment. If we could get that thing to play through, we could actually just listen to it. And then comment on it after it's done. I think it'd be freaking hilarious. Yeah. We'll save the Survivor Series review for next week when Bradford is back with us. And let's get rolling on some Tom's shitty pick. All righty. Tom's shitty picks is brought to you by Brock Street Brewing Company. Located at 244 Brock Street South in Whitby, Ontario. Everything is brewed in house, including their iced teas, their beers, vodka sodas, and the hard celthers. So if you're in the Whitby area, go check them out and tell them the 1973 podcast sent you. So thanks, Clemson. You've screwed me this week. I had a good record going, you know, and then they had to come home. I was out all day, come home and look at the scores and see they lost by three points to South Carolina. Just goes to show you that Davo. It was as long as he has a superstar quarterback like Trevor Lawrence. He's fine. But when he actually has to cook somebody up, he's not so good. So this coming week here, it's going to be tough doing a college game, which I've been doing probably for like the last eight, nine weeks, but you really don't know who's playing who's too much like haven't really had a chance to, uh, to pick one because next week's all the conference championship. So I'm going to go back and just pick a quarterback. This week, just pick a player in fantasy football. And I don't want to really go superstar because too easy. So I'll go with a Baker Mayfield tomorrow against Carolina. It's a revenge game for him. He was cut by Carolina. He's coming in. Carolina's defense is terrible that they average 32 points a game and giving up 32 points a game. They've given up 21 passing touchdowns and 11 games. So I think Baker Mayfield's the way to go this week. I think he gets two or three touchdowns easily. I think K dot and if you're looking for somebody else, if you need a tight and K dot and I think it's going to have a huge game. So Thomas, you guys want to talk maybe some Michigan football, some, some stuff that happened possibly today. You're going to have to bring me up to speak because I'm going to let the two Michigan guys tell everybody the story. The opposite of the frickin year. Mission comes in six and five taking on 10 and one frickin Oklahoma Ohio State. What rank number two in the nation and ranked number two in the nation and they frickin beat their ass 13 10. In Ohio. It was crazy. Was that the whole story what happened after the game because I hadn't seen the game but I've seen them. I saw what happened afterwards. Oh yeah. A hundred times on TV. Yeah afterwards. The Michigan guys try to play at the flag on the Oh and the Ohio State. And also I'm really they had a little fight in them that they didn't have during the game and grab the flag and start fighting. Then the cops started macing the guys. That's very interesting. Yeah. You know, it's funny. You watch the game and you kind of put yourself in the play issues. So you go to Ohio, you win the big game. Play at your fucking flag in the center of their field fucking a right. I'm all about it. Let's do it. But then when they're doing it in the back of my mind with the Ohio State guys come charge it afterwards. Like say you fucking do it in the field. I'm like, well, that makes it. Yeah. I'm playing that flag in my field. So I'm a game on both ways. Yeah. What's up with the fucking cops, macing people. It's a football fight. I think they only miss the missing guys. I don't think they miss you. So I'd say nice. That was brutal. So that was brutal. I don't blame the cops either. Those football players a lot bigger than they are. You're going to do it. You're going to do like the like the referees do at the opening kids stop fighting in the game. They just go lean on the lead on the boards and just let it happen. Yep. Yep. No, that's not the job to break up fights games over. Well, looking ahead, though, it's going to be interesting to see if there are any suspensions because it'll affect Ohio State a lot more because they're going to be in the playoffs. I don't know. I don't really know. Are they in the big 10 championship game or did they get knocked out? No, they're not. Oregon versus Penn State. Yeah. Yeah, Penn State. Yeah. So that'd be interesting to see if there are any suspensions for the playoff game. And it makes me wonder. I want to ask you guys a question, do you think some of these teams that know that they're going to be in the college playoff championship, the playoffs? Do you think that they could actually throw? I don't want to say throw a game, but you see a matchup like the possible matchups every week. They do a thing on ESPN with the ranking. Do you think some of these teams are looking to see who they match up better with and possibly lose a game and slide down or something? I don't think they might lose in a home game. I don't think they want to risk being out of the top 12 because some of these teams, they lose games and they drop like seven spots. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I thought that the game, I thought it was a great game first and foremost. I thought it was a heavyweight fight. I thought the defense has played really, really well. And I thought it was a great game. And, you know, Ryan, taking you back on your point, there's no need in a football fight because nobody's really going to get hurt. Exactly. Because the thing about it is that you were not going to fight and really hurt somebody in football. Well, there's a good, there's a pretty good clip out there of number 62 for Michigan stomping on somebody. Now, I don't know if you actually got him in the head or not, but it was up. It was in the upper body region and the guy had gotten thrown down by another Michigan guy and he came from up the top of the screen and came down and put a stomp on him. Well, you know the thing about it. Okay, knock down. You don't get shot. You're getting shoulder pads on. No. Stop being a bitch again. The thing about it is that, you know, I bet you, I like to know, was he one of the guys that was just standing around because that's what always happens with when there's a fight that goes down. I don't know how the guys that want to fight the rather bad ones that didn't get a chance to fucking play. They're all the ones they haven't been playing. Well, I mean, my thing about it was the kid from Michigan. I mean, it looked like he was skipping with the flag. It looked like he was skipping and, and so, and one of the kids from Ohio State, like just basically threw his body into him. And then all of a sudden it kind of, it built a little bit and then number 33 ripped the flag off the, off the pole. And I mean, look, you want rivalries like that. That's, that creates that friction. And like this, you know, I mean, the NFL is so antiseptic now. Like the guys like hang out, they're laughing on the sidelines and, you know, they're getting their asses handed to them. And the score and they're laughing and joking at the end of the game. They're out there shaking hands like and being buddy buddy. I liked it back in the day when it was like the greatest versus everybody else in the league. And, you know, I mean, it was, it was real friction. They all hang out in the off season now and everything like that. I, I like it. And then to follow up with your question, I don't think that they're going to want to take this so much money involved. I mean, for as far as the players and the coaches and the ballgames and old field advantage now, they're not going to want to give that up. And, you know, I mean, look, all five of the suits played sports. And, you know, you don't go out there and tank it, you know, you know, you know. Now the interesting thing with this whole thing, Todd, what, what is it Ryan Day? Ryan Day. He better watch himself now because he's one in four now in the last five against Michigan. It doesn't matter how well you do against everybody else. We all know that that's the B game for a reason. It's a 24. What's that? He's 66 and 10. Yes. And he doesn't win national. It's like by little losses against Michigan. Their main rival that those those boosters don't care about anything but that game. Well, I mean, he's not a local Ohio guy. He'll be able to tell you more. But we could coach that team to 66 and 10 to get a little pocket pressure. Seriously. I mean, bottom line is, is that I mean, they have a perfect person to slide into a spot to get Chip Kelly on his style. You know, slide him right into Ryan Day's position. But it's just don't. It's like the dude 66 and 10. That's just who I mean, who, who are you going to get better? What are you going to do? Bring a bill of check. He takes. My rival. Well, there's that. There you go. Shaggy. That's his old. That's his alma mater. Yeah. Yes. You did say skipping with a flag, right? Yes. I just wanted to make that click. I did. Go back and watch it. Watch it. All right. Next week, we're going to have another recount. I mean, the thing is, the two Michigan guys did that. They don't disagree with what I'm saying. Nope. Okay. Just just putting it out there. Yeah, honestly, you ready to pick some lawful ball games. Yeah, let's do it. All right. Now I'll review last week. Andy went 10 and three. Ryan went nine and four. I went me and Shaggy, both one eight and five. Brad went five and nine and Edwin three and 10. Five and nine. Oh boy. Now the standings, we have a new leader and it's an old leader. Andy is not in first place. He's 122 and 57. Brad is 118 and 61. Ryan is now 118 and 61. I'm 115 and 64. Ed is 111 and 68 and Shaggy is 105 and 51. I'll take it. Before we get going, let me just say that when I had a conversation with Bradfish. Ed would be proud of me because when he told me that he could not participate this week. I told him what did I tell him Ed? Stop the intervention. Come on. Right. So it's equal opportunity for me. That's the Gen X way. If I'm not sure. I could give two shits about it. So Thomas is that being said? All right. All right. First game of the week. That's going to be a great one. Thursday night Detroit Lions at home against the Green Bay Packers. Andy. Give me the lions. All righty. Phantom. Lions. All righty. Ed. I'm going to go with the Lions. Even though the Packers get a hell of a run in the game. All righty. Shaggy. Where are they playing? It's in Detroit. Detroit then. All right. I'm going with Green Bay. Green Bay. Green Bay looks like they're finally starting to hit a little peak. Detroit lost a couple more guys on defense on Thanksgiving. They lost their starting linebackers out for the season now. Hutchinson's already out. I think Green Bay is going to eat this one out. I think it's going to be a really good game though. Game two. Go from a really great game to a really shitty game. Tennessee Titans at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Andy. Oh, I don't know. I'm going to go with the Nissan Titans, please. All righty. Shaggy. I'll go with Jaguars for Shids and Giggles. All righty. I'm going with Tennessee as well. Trevor Lawrence is going to try to come back with his shoulders hanging on by a thread right now. And Max Jones is horrible. All right. It's all show up Tom. Yeah. Third game Miami Dolphins at home against the New York Jets, Andy. I don't know. Give me the dolphins, I guess. All righty. Phantom. I'm going to go jets. All righty. Ed. I'm going to go with the Dolphins, please. All righty. Shaggy. Dolphins. All righty. All righty. I'm going with the Dolphins, please. Next game, the Minnesota Vikings at home against the Atlanta Falcons. Andy Vikings. All righty. Phantom. All righty. Ed. I'm going to go with the Vikings. One week, bad week, the next. Yeah. I'm going with the Vikings as well. Sneaky move. They signed Daniel Jones somewhere along the line. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up playing quite a bit there with. I was glad. What's his name there? Darnold is he's starting to make a lot more mistakes and a lot of turnovers. All right. Next game. I've been getting Jonesing. New York Giants at home against the New Orleans Saints. Andy. I don't know. Give it the Saints, I guess. All righty. All righty. All righty. Ed. Even though that there's an inch this year, I'm going to go with them because the Giants are a dumpster fire. Oh my God. I can you can you imagine giving up your best. The basically MVP in the league, you know, who's killing it in Philly. Just saying. Shaggy. I'll take the tanks. All righty. That's a sweet for the podcast because Giants right now are the worst team in the league. Next game. Give it up. Eagles at home against Carolina Panthers. Andy. Give it the Eagles. All righty. Phantom. Eagles. Ed. Eagles, please. All righty. Shaggy. Oh yeah. Same choice. Eagles. All righty. Yeah. This game Philly should win by double digits easily in this one. Next game. Could be a good game. Pittsburgh Steelers at home against the Cleveland Browns. Andy. That used to be an old school rivalry back in the day. Give me. Pittsburgh. All righty. Phantom. Andy flushed a toilet because we're getting rid of the Browns Steelers. All righty. Ed. Well, the Steelers have some to prove because they lost that game on national TV in a snowstorm. So I'm going to Steelers. All right. Shaggy. I agree. It's a revenge game. I'm going to Steelers. Yep. That's another clean sweep. Should roll in this one. Next game Tampa Bay Bucks at home against the Las Vegas Raiders. Andy. All righty. Phantom. Bucks. All righty. Ed. I'm going to go with the other place that has a space Odyssey 2001. That's also known as the Bucks, please. All right. Shaggy. I'm going to get a dumpster fires or rares right there too. So I'll go to the Bucks. Yep. I'm going to go to Tampa Bay as well. Even though the Raiders played decent yesterday and probably should have won that game. Probably. Probably. Next game. The Arizona Cardinals at home against the Seattle Seahawks. Andy. Let me see. Wait. Give me the goggles. All righty. Phantom. Seattle. All righty. Ed. Cardinals are playing really great great this year. Kyla Murray is playing out of his mind, but I'm still going with the Seahawks. All righty. Shaggy. I'll take Brian Bosworth Seahawks. All righty. I'm going to go with Arizona in this game. Except before before after he got run over by poor Jackson on Monday night. Oh, wait before that. Wait before that. Okay. Allegedly. Next game. The LA Rams at home against the Buffalo Bills. Andy. Hey, we have the bills to pay the bills. All righty. Phantom. Bills. All righty. Ed. I'm going to go with the bills. All righty. Shaggy. Wait, who the bills playing? Rams. Oh, bills. All righty. They're supposed to get like two feet of snow overnight tonight into tomorrow. So it would be interesting to see if they actually play tomorrow with the. Well, they will. Against the 49ers. Fucking cold enough up here. Yeah. You should. So. Next game. Where's it going? I mean you're there. San Francisco 49ers at home against the Chicago Bears. Andy. Oh, give me Rob Hoffman's favorite football team. All righty. Phantom. Sam. All righty. Ed. I mean, you know, at least San Francisco can have proper time management. The clock, by the way, just saying. All righty. Shaggy. So they fired the coach. I mean, again, new coach, I mean, I'm going with bears this week. Just got a new coach for one week. They didn't just get a new coach. They got Thomas Brown is their head coach. There you go. There you go. I'm going on a limb. I'm taking the bears this week. Let's go. All right. Sunday night game. Also Caucasian. The Kansas City referees. I mean, Chiefs at home, it gets LA Chargers. Andy, you know, I'm going to take the Chiefs. All righty. Phantom. I'm taking the Chiefs because no matter what they win. Yep. Ed. I'm going with the Chargers. Even though I know the. But they got to lose at least one more game because like, you know, there's going to be a lot of chatting online about how everything's fixed and everything left. So they got to make makeup moves like one more game. I mean, come on. Jagi. I'm taking charges. I just can't. I can't pick the Chiefs. I'm taking KC, but I think it would be a good game. The Chiefs have not covered yet. They've their own for the season and covering. But the Chargers lost Dobbins. That's a big loss for their running game. So I'm going to go with Casey in that game. Final game Monday night. The Dallas Cowboys at home against the Cincinnati Bengals, Andy. Oh, man. Jesus Christ. Give me a bucket of bangles. All righty. Phantom. Cooper rushes. Wow. All right. Ed. Go with the bagels. All righty. Yeah, I'm going with the bangles as well. All right, AC. That's it. That's the week. All right. So almost at the hour mark. So let's let's bring this thing home around a third base and. Times it's some shout outs. And what do you got this week? Well, I'm a couple things.
