Alright, here we go into the happy hour portion of Gwen and Chris. Happy hour coming a little early today, that's because the Padres play a little early today, a 540 start against the Detroit Tigers Sam Levitz. Eco Water, SoCal, pre-game show, comes up about 40 minutes from right now. Until then, Scrabie and I, along with Tony Gwen Jr, rejoining us for our NFL pick segment, week one of Gwen and Chris NFL pick them. It all starts today, Scrabie. It's my favorite segment because I'm not a part of it. You really, yeah, I don't know why we never let you, but we just... It just has been that way. I don't think it works as well with three people, honestly. I think it's one of those segments, the way we do the picks has to be a two, but you do get into the playoff picks, but not, you don't make regular season. That's just me being a selfish. No, I think it's fair, it's fair to be upset about it. One thing we did forgot to mention today, as the Chiefs get ready to play the Ravens tonight and they're a little over an hour away from the start, Matt Ariza makes his long overdue debut in the National Football League. So good look for Matt Ariza tonight. I will say this, Scrab, if he punts, even one tonight like he did at San Diego State, everyone's going to go, "Wow!" Because you know not everybody's seen this guy punt the football like we have, and if he hits one of those 70, 80-yarders, it could be really fun tonight. Well, I think he's doing this in practice and people are like, "Oh, dang!" Yeah, we'll see what Ariza can do if the Chiefs are forced to punt tonight, which I think against the Ravens that is a good possibility. All right, let's get to, we got a little Chris vs. the fans, we got a prize to give away that Scrabie is kept to himself over there. I have, and the prize today, if you beat Chris and Chris vs. fans, you're going to win a pair of tickets to Saturday, San Diego State football game against Oregon State. That's a good one, what if I win, can I get the tickets? No, grab tickets at goastex.com. That's a game that I think a lot of people were going to want to go to. Yeah, I think so too. You know, people are going to go, "Okay, you beat Texas A&M." Commerce. Commerce. And you know, the fans, you know, there's 20,000 almost there, you know, so I want to see what Sean Lewis is going to do against a real team. Yeah. So, Saturday night, Oregon State. Oh, I'm hoping it's not like the first half of the game against... No, I better not because they'll be down 35-nothing. Yeah, pretty quick. It's pretty like that again. Alright, so let's just play the open, and I'll get to the rules. If you had one shot, one opportunity to take down the human all-man act himself, how would he do? Now is your time. Listen to me, this guy is dangerous. Now is your opportunity to win a prize. Well, I hope you know what you're in for. Chris vs. the fans, starts now on 97-3 the fan. Alright, the rules, you have to make it through three questions. Each question will get more difficult. If you get the question right, you move on. If you get it wrong and Chris gets it right, you're eliminated. But if Chris gets it wrong, then you move on to the next question. Or you win. If you're our first time. Bye-yah! Uh, I tell you what I forgot. That was enough. No, I know I forgot. Let us know that you forgot something. You forgot what you get? Yes. You get the first question for Chris. You thank you, Chris, if you tell us before you start. And Chris vs. the fans brought to you by Esti Fat Loss, lose 20 to 30 pounds in just 60 days.

He was. And thanks to all the other people that played because that was kind of fun. That was a lot of people stepped up. And, you know, that's not easy to do in front of a crowd of people. All the radio. You know, and try to do trivia on the radio. That's enough to come on, you know, right here on the phone. Yeah, those folks, nice going yesterday. Nice going. All right, here we go. Let's get started with Wyatt in San Diego. Hello, Wyatt. Hey, guys. How's it going? Pretty good. Pretty good. All right. Here we go. Question number one. What color is the eight ball in billiards? Oh, my God. Come on. What? It's grass. Sometimes you're telling me the questions are too hard. Number one. I know. Have you ever sunk? Have you ever played pool, by the way? Of course. Okay. Have you ever been lucky enough to sink the eight ball on the opening break? No. I thought that was to make you lose. No, you win. Automatically? Yeah. Because the eight ball should be in the middle, right? It's in the middle. But if you can-- I've never done that. I don't know. I think I did, but I was probably-- I did not know this. I was probably on a bender. Going back to the last segment. I mean, I know that if you hit it in before you get on the opening-- If you're a pool player out there, let me know that I'm accurate. I think if you sink the eight ball on the break, the game's over. Do you know Wyatt? Wyatt, do you know? I have no clue. He doesn't know. I've only gotten it after the break, but very shortly after, to where I live. Yes, yes. So, yeah. Like me. Like me. That's right. All right. Here we go. What kids cartoon show was Aaron Judge recently featured on? That was Paw Patrol. Paw Patrol is correct. Wow. What was it called? It's called Paw Patrol. Oh my goodness. And how would I know that? I have no children. Because it was all-- it was like on-- Should I have been watching? And watching? I didn't see it. His stats since Paw Patrol have been awful. He's been homered in quite a 51 for a few weeks, a couple of weeks. Hold on. I just pulled it up because Paw Patrol stats. Ever since he-- he's hitting 194 with no home runs and two RBIs since August 26th. Oh my goodness. Since his Paw Patrol debut. Oh, God. So, Paw Patrol is the reason they-- I would tell you. If I was Paw Patrol, I'd be concerned because those Yankee fans are capable of anything. Paw Patrol is pretty fun. All right. Very good, Wyatt. You're on to the final question. Wyatt, do you have kids? Is that how you knew that? I don't have kids, but I'm always on live. So, I saw a clip of it on Twitter where he like breaks his bat one short of 50 or something like that. Yeah. Yeah. Very good. All right. All right. Here we go. You get this right. Your Chris gets it wrong. And you're going to the Aztecs game on Saturday. What American League pitcher has thrown the most innings this year? What American League pitcher has thrown the most innings this year? In baseball? In baseball? No. He's thrown more than any NFL pitcher. Yes. I gave you the AL to-- You're narrowing it down a little bit. Oh. That's awesome. I'm going to give Cole Reagan's. I feel like-- Wow. Interesting guess. Interesting guess. Cole Reagan's. Yeah. In fact, if you know who Cole Reagan's is, I think it's pretty good. It's interesting. Stay there, though. All right. I'm going to take a pretty wild guess also. This is a wild guess. But I think it's a legit guess. The only two guys-- because if you'd have said nationally, you've got to say Chris Sale or Logan Webb. But you said American League. And I don't think Scooble has pitched that many innings. He seemed like he comes out early. The guy who was talking about staying in games was our old friend Seth Lugo. I'm going with him. You've got to be kidding me. Is that right? Wow. Oh, my God. I'm really sorry, Wyatt. I thought you had it. Oh, Wyatt. I thought you had it. You got-- I think he has got 182 innings. Seth Lugo. Yeah, the guy who couldn't pitch more than 50 innings. That's true. I love these analytics people. By the way, Adam just texted me saying, "Forget about the Madam Curse. It's the Paw Patrol Curse, and I'm right there with him." There you go. Right there with him. Yeah, Seth Lugo, he was-- he's been pitching great this year, right? What can you do? Yeah, he is. So. All right. That is ironic because he was like, "Mr. Omega, we ever get him over 50, 60 innings." Yeah. Exactly. He's going to need to take a break in the middle. Oh, yeah. His arm will fall off. People. All right. Let's go to Tom. Hello, Tom. Hey, Tom. Hey, how's it going? I actually knew it was Seth Lugo. He's been a star on my fantasy team. Uh-huh. Tom. He was ready for that one. Nice job, Tom. Nice job, Tom. Good job, Tom. All right. Here we go. We're probably going to put the next one wrong. Let's go. Question number one. Where did Derek Henry play college football? Fair question. Gee. Uh. I'm going to date Georgia. Georgia. Georgia. I know the grandpa. It's close. Alabama. And I think you won the Heisman Trophy. I'm sorry, Tom, but congratulations on Seth Lugo. I'm glad for Seth Lugo, though. Yeah. It is good to have him on your fantasy baseball team this year. All right. Let's go to Jose and Chula Vista. Hello, Jose. Jose. Good to talk to you, Jose. All right. Here we go. Question number one. Yes, sir. What country are the Packers and Eagles playing in tomorrow night? Is it France? France. I don't know why I do the dramatic cause, but I did. Stay there. Chris may not know this. Is it Brazil? Sorry, Tom. Sorry, Tom. Jose. Sorry, Jose. Yeah. Brazil tomorrow night where everybody's supposedly in danger. Everybody tune in. All right. Let's go. Luis and Lemon Grove. Hey, hey, I feel this way. I feel you, Luis. Let's go, buddy. Let's go. Let's go. All right. Question number one. Is this the Luis who, wait, who whipped me the other day? Was it this? Did you beat Chris? Did you beat Chris? Yeah, it hurt. Oh, good girl. He just whipped me the other day. No, I'm sorry, Luis. You won this week, right? Oh, yeah. He can't win twice in the week. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Sorry. Next week. Yeah. I'm sorry. Yeah. Next week. Next week. I only did that because I didn't want to lose to him again. Well, that's an honor, Luis. Yeah, it's an honor, Luis. Yeah. You got the rule. We do have a couple of rules and that you can only qualify once a week. Yeah. Luis won the other day and he was really good. Yes. I didn't realize that. All right. Here we go. One in Elka Hone. Hello, Dan. Hey, Dan. Hey. After fat, baby. After fat fat. There you go, Dan. We're off to a good start. All right, Dan. Here we go. Question number one. What Cincinnati Red leads baseball in strikeouts this season? Yeah. Picture or hitting? Hitter. Hitting. So, which hitter struck out the most? Correct. Which hitter is the most? Struck out the most. Back, you know, it's the shortstop, but I don't know if he don't say Gallagher. Gallagher. I almost want to give it to you for sure for coming up with a name. Yeah. That was pretty good. Oh, man. Yeah. It's old. Your old friend Ellie Dayla Cruz, I believe it was his name. Sorry about that, Dan. Sorry about that. But go Aztecs. Happy to hear an Aztec fan there. Yeah. Okay. Let's go to, I know that there's people on the line. They're like, "I'm probably up next, but we need to take some other callers. I'm sorry. Matthew. Let's go to you." Hello, Matthew. Nobody's saying anything. Just go to the next part. All right. How are you doing? Pretty good. Pretty good? Matthew, thanks for being with us. You ready to play? Yeah, I'm ready. Here we go. Here we go. I can be nervous over there. Come on. Who is the quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons? Starter? Yes. This week? Yes. Okay. Who's going to start for the Falcons? Oh, no. Okay. Let me give them a better question. Because that was off the top of my head. Who is the Padres seventh inning guy? Pitcher. Seventh inning guy. Misterata. Mmm. Oh, no. It's the A of A-S-S. Jason Adam. Sorry. Kirk Cousins is the Falcon quarterback. All right. You got one more maybe. All right. Yeah, because we. Yeah. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Let's go to Brandon and alcohol. Hello, Brandon. What up, Grady? I'm not working here. I can't hear you. We got you, Brandon. I can't hear you. Good luck to the players. So here we go. Question number one. What team? I ran out of questions number one. I tried to come up with it off the top of my head. I didn't want to play a Super Bowl with. What two teams? I'm sorry. The Rams and the Cardinals. The Rams and the Cardinals. Okay. Good job. I'm out of my own head. That's a Supermarket City working as a stocker in Iowa. Pigly Wiggly? I don't know. Okay. I thought you know. Question number two. Whit Merrifield started his career with what team? The Royals. The Royals is correct. And here we go to the final question. Number three. Go get it, Brandon. Where did Michael King pitch in college? Boston College. Boston College. What? Was that Ryan? Yeah. All right. Very good, Brandon. There you go, Brandon. That's a nice display of acumen there. Yes, stay right there real quick. Well done. We got to check traffic. Brandon will check in with Scravey. He'll get the details on his Aztec tickets to Sea Oregon State Saturday night. We'll come back with one final segment on Gwen and Chris. As a parent, you always want to set your child up for success.

For a Thursday, full show tomorrow, Scrappy, you got a, any online on a Friday Friday guest yet? We're still working on it. We're still working. All right. You're going to be sweeping through the clubhouse after the game tonight to try to set something up. Yes. Yes, I will. And then they'll kick me out of the club. I'll never forget. I'll never forget Joan Musgrove. You. This year. I know. I never got a chance to go in. It just, the timing was like, he had a great joke. His mom played a joke on me too. I wanted to go down there and talk to him about it. But then he got hurt and all that stuff. I haven't been in the clubhouse myself for a while since 20, since the playoffs. There's, we are always doing our show before the game. I can't go down there before a game. Yeah. And after a game, I got to get to bed. I'm an old guy. I can't be going down to the clubhouse. See, I like going down to the clubhouse. If I like on a Friday night because it takes so long to get out of the parking lot that I might as well go kill time in the club. Fair enough. Getting audio for Sammy left. Fair enough. Anything to do to help Sammy Lev. It's true. All right. Tony and I every year of like seven years in a row, we do NFL pick them each week of the season. Here is today's first installment for 2024. Okay, it is time. The National Football League season for 2024 kicks off tonight. Kansas City, Missouri. And that means it's another year of Gwen and Chris NFL pick them. And if you haven't heard our pick them segment in the past, we do it a little differently. I think than most shows where everybody sits down and picks the, you know, the winner of every game. Tony and I do it a little differently. We each pick three games. It's a three point game and then the next one's a two point game and then the last one is worth one point and we don't use the spread. And then at the very end, we each get one upset pick. The team we pick has to be underdog in the point spread. If they win, we get the number of points that team is underdog by. It'll all be come clear to you as we go along here, but Tony was the winner last year. The champ is here 115 to 106 was the final Tony was a pretty nip and tuck battle all season. I think the last week or two, I took a couple chances to try to catch up and you were able to hang on. But I don't think and you correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think either of us have everyone back to back years. We've just traded back and forth. Yeah, we've alternated. Yeah. So with the form holds, then I'll be able to win this year, but it's a long way. We do it all season long. I'll keep tabs on the tally, but away we go. Since Tony's the defending champ, he gets the first pick tonight or first pick for this weekend. So any game you want, Tony, who is your three point pick most team you feel most confident about winning this weekend? I'll take the bangles at home, the bangles, they are the biggest points spread. They're eight points over the Patriots, not people are not many people are expecting much from the Patriots this year. So I think that's a solid three point pick. I cannot choose the same games that Tony does for those who that is new to this process. I'll go with the next biggest spread, not just because it is, but I think I like Seattle over Denver. I don't, I don't know really why I don't love Seattle, but I do hate Denver. So I think I'll take Seattle at home in the in the great Northwest, that'll be my three point game. Now, Tony gets a two point pick, don't feel that great. Yeah, there's not a lot of, not a lot of obvious gimmies this week. Yeah, I, you know, I think the, the Murray thing is a, could be a problem for Buffalo. So I'm not feeling that one at two points. Oh, you know who I do feel pretty comfortable with. That's tough on two actually. The good thing is, there's no time limit on this. You can take all day to make your selection and another thing you guys may notice out there as this goes along this year, Tony and I don't take it seriously at all. Like it's the most important thing we do each week, I think, give me the Niners of forty Niners as your two point pick, Scravey will be celebrating that. You stole my two point pick. I felt pretty good about the Niners. I agree with you, Buffalo was a solid favorite at home over Arizona, but Buffalo's got a lot of questions to answer with a lot of new parts. I'm not really willing to put two points on them. All I'm going to go with the team I really like, even though their spread is not very big for two points, the Detroit Lions on Sunday night over the Los Angeles Rams. I am very bullish on the Lions as are a lot of people this year. Where's that game? It's in Detroit. Detroit. That's going to be fun. It's a game, but I just feel good about Detroit this year, so I think they'll win their first game. All right, one point game now, Tony, for you? One point. How about the upstart Bears? The Bears. He, well, one thing we've discovered about Tony, Jr. He loves himself some Caleb Williams. Yes, he does. Yeah. He picked him late in his fantasy draft. He's not just Caleb Williams. No, they've got some other guys. That's true. I've kind of, I've kind of, I've kind of softened my stance on Mr. Hiba Flus over there. You like him? You like him with his new haircut that his wife made him get? His hair. Yeah, man. I'm digging him a little bit. I like what they got going over there in Cheyetown. Well, they're knocks to present them as a capable team this year. We'll see if it pans out on the field. Bears are playing the Tennessee Titans. So that's, it seems like a good pick. For my one point pick, I'll risk one point on Buffalo. They should win, and I don't really see anything else that stands out to me. So I'll take Buffalo from my one point pick. All right, now things get kind of interesting. As Tony makes his upset pick, the board is wide open. The only games Tony cannot pick an upset in here are the ones he's already chosen. For example, he couldn't take New England now to beat Cincinnati. He's already picked Cincinnati. But you could take any of the games I picked or another game, Tony, for your upset pick. What do you like? Win straight up this week. I like, I really like this upset pick. Okay. Take time. All right. Give me the steel curtain. Oh, yeah. Wow. Is that include listening here? Give me the steel curtain. They're going to go into the ATL, smack them birds up, head back to Pittsburgh. My Tomlin and company with, oh, and again, another guy that Tony loves. Russell Wilson. That's right. Making a stealer day. That's what? Yeah, I was going to say, what's his catchphrase? Is he trying it again? You can't bring it over. You got to dig it over. It didn't work. That's right. I'd be surprised if he sold any t-shirts at all the last year or so. Everybody burned them if they did by them. All right. So that'll be worth three points since the Falcons are a three and a half point favorite. If Tony gets to Pittsburgh, he'll get three points. My upset pick is I toyed between two. I think Baltimore has a chance to beat the Chiefs tonight, but the game I like a little better. What are you feeling for some reason about the Carolina Panthers? They only won two games last year. They go into New Orleans against the team that I don't think is very good. And I think the Panthers are going to be highly motivated to show that this is going to be a different year. So I'll take Carolina to upset New Orleans, and that would be worth four points. Boom. All right. There are our selections for week one of Gwen and Chris NFL pick them, and we'll keep you up to date as the season goes along. And every Thursday, we will have our picks for the upcoming weeks games. Now, there they are for week one. All right. Very good. We have a little update for you though. Gwen and Chris here wrapping things up going to send it out to a Sammy Levitt, but the update is from Kansas City screaming, I'm no weather guy, but they're not playing this football game many times soon in Kansas City. Now it is raining beyond pouring right now in Kansas City. I mean, you can't even barely see the stadium. It is pouring so bad. All of the fans that were in the seats have been asked to go up underneath and they're not even allowed them to sit there. I saw some lightning. I don't believe there's been any announcement yet of the game being delayed. I'm looking at the Doppler radar right now. It's certainly under consideration, I would think, for the Chiefs, the Ravens, the NFL to, you know, delay this game somewhat. It's a small band that's moving through right now. Thank you. I'm looking. Thank you. What's that guy's name on? Al Roker. Al Roker. Thank you. Al Roker. But look, it's a small band of red and yellow. I mean, it looks pretty nasty. Red and yellow. It's two colors. Oh, well, that's good for them then. So it looks like it's moving through your saying. Yeah, knowing that I just said that the game is going to be canceled or something. I don't know. I don't think it's going to be. I don't think it's in danger of being canceled. But if you're rushing home to see the first kickoff between the Chiefs and the Ravens, you might end up having a little extra time. I'm just saying. I don't know. It's raining really hard there right now. No such, no such problems here in America's finest city, beautiful day, little warm. And tonight, the Padres and Los Tigres, in game three of a three game series. And Sam Levitt has all of the pregame information coming up. As the Padres look to pick up a game on the Diamondbacks, we lost earlier today to the Higante's walk off style win for the Giants, Bob Melvin helping out the cause a little bit there. And then the Giants are on their way here. They'll be here for the weekend. They will be. We'll be back tomorrow at two o'clock with a Friar Friday show. Make sure you're, uh, you're not late, we'll wrap up however it is the Padres figure out a way to win tonight. And we'll look forward to that. Scrabby. You all set. I'm all set. I'm ready for everything today. Baseball. Baseball NFL boy. Great night. All right. Stay tuned. More, uh, Padres stuff coming up actually next on 97 through the fan so long.
