(upbeat music) ♪ I was so dumb but I hopped on a plane ♪ ♪ I was drove right back to the 541 ♪ - See, you guys are part of the problem of giving Colorado this much traction for being such a fucking mediocre team. - I mean, I'm watching it on an illegal stream, so I mean-- - Oh, all right, good. All right, that's fine then. - I don't know if you know this, but Hulu has a lot of sports, and so I'm watching it on Hulu. Does that count? - How much do you pay for that Hulu? - It's my mom's account. Does that work? - Yeah, well, I mean. - So technically, I'm stealing it too. - So you're stealing from your mom? - Mm-hmm. - It's not what she gave it to me. - The weird thing to admit, but okay. - All right, stealing from pensioners? - Yeah. - Yeah, there's like, there's a lot of pensioners. (laughs) There's like a lot of levels to this, isn't there, 'cause I'm stealing Colorado football from my mom. Like, I don't know what to make of that. I don't know. Should I feel bad? Who should I feel bad for? - I mean, America. - America. - The Big 12 Conference. Should I write a letter, express written consent, or have my mom write a letter? Is that how it works? - I don't know. - WCP, WCP got signed up for who has live sports today, so. - Live sports, please. - Because we heard that Comcast was blacking out all the new teams on the Big 10 network, so. - Yeah, it's not a good look, but I don't see it lasting long. - Yeah, I mean, today's Thursday, probably fixed by Friday. (laughs) - You would think. - I'm surprised, like, it's a really weird thing to come out the week before the games are played, right? - Yeah, how did no one know this before? That's the big question, right? - I mean, usually when something like this gets announced, it's when somebody's trying to get more money. So I would assume, like, Comcast leaked this story because they want the Big 10 to feel shame and fork out more dollars to make it happen, so. - Oh, Comcast definitely did not leak this. I think you want to know the amount of people they've lost over the last two days. - Fair, that's fair. Apparently, like, I think WCP was saying in our Discord, this happened when the, or maybe it wasn't him, but this happened when the last time the Big 10 added new teams, like Rutgers and stuff in Nebraska, they also did the same thing and they fixed it like the day before, so. - I assume that's going to happen, but it doesn't matter to me. I got, I got a hoo baby. Sorry, I got my, I got my mom's hoo baby. - I assume you're a good king. - Yeah, we mentioned the illegal stream, like-- - You know, yeah, you're not. - I'm watching on the illegal stream, but-- - All right, all right, yeah, yeah, yeah. - You don't have any legal ways to watch it then. - No, no, and like, 'cause, you know, last year especially, because I cut the cord, I was either stream east or buff streams, and buff streams is crap, and stream east has been taken over by the feds. So I'm going to be bugging people for free streams, 'cause I don't want to look that shit up. - We really-- - I don't want to go under Reddit and find layers. - Like, wherever you're listening to this, loyal podcast listener, please do, whatever drink you have near you, please pour out a little bit for stream east, 'cause stream east did so much good work over the last five or so years, maybe more, I don't even know. I've watched so many, so many games on stream east, like 49er games, like just so many games on stream east, and it has been taken down by the federal government, finally, so, you know. I mean, when you do those streams, what device do you stream it through? Like a shitty laptop? - Yes. - A throw, what shitty laptop, okay. - No, not a shitty laptop, I do it on my laptop, because if you try to do it on anything else, it's really hard to close the ads that come up. - All the pop ups? - They just keep coming up over and over again, unless you, like, are super on top of it, so. - Okay, now here's a question. - I don't know. - Okay, real quick. - You don't do it to your Xbox or anything. - Well, that's what I was going to say. - I do sometimes, and sometimes it works out, but if I do my laptop, I got an HDMI cord, I just run that to the TV, and I can do it that way too, so. - Except, I've had a shitty, I've been doing this now for a bit, but my shitty backup laptop, I think, is officially. Done, so, I fired it up for this Colorado game, and it was McAfee ads, nonstop, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang. And I finally got it pulled, the game pulled up, and it was, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang. That's what I finally was like in the Discord. Somebody saved me, please, throw me a live preserver. - So, Booble says, "Meth streams is the site." And WCP says, "Stream East isn't dead." Like, the FBI took down the A domain, but there are others. - Others. - Yeah, okay. - All right, all right, we'll find those four in ones, like the dot NZs or whatever they are. Get those Stream Easts. - Okay, I don't know Twitch's, I don't know how on fall Twitch's, but would you be able to be like playing NCAA 24, and then you just have the game on your Twitch stream? - Oh, like talk about it? - Yeah, you couldn't have it on, but you could talk about it as it's happening. Like, you think they'd be that quick to shut it down if you just run the game on your Twitch stream? - Yes. - Yes? - No, Twitch is super on top of that. Like, they take down accounts that play music. Like, if you play music for like more than 15 seconds or whatever, they shut you down. Like, I know, 'cause in the setup for this, I do streamlabs now. In the setup, it has a countdown of how many, I forget what the term is for it. But like, how many times you violated, like playing music or whatever on your thing, and they literally keep track of it. And if you have a certain amount, then your account gets taken down for a while. - I thought it would be kind of like the YouTube rules to where if you're adding commentary to something, then it's like a gray area that works, kind of thing. - Right, throw your head in the corner while the game's on or something. - Exactly. - Yeah. Nope, nope, not without the express written consent of the NCAA and Oregon football. - I wonder if you could do this for me and King, you go on Twitch here, put the game on for us, and just don't go live. So then we get a sit move on Twitch without, yeah. - I wonder, yeah, like, 'cause we could just do that through like regular Discord. Like, we wouldn't need Twitch for it. - Yeah, Discord even, yeah. - Didn't like, I feel like Kurt did that for us last year with something. Or like-- - Yeah, what did you do it? - Yeah. - Do it for all our Discord or someone in Discord. - He like put, he did Facebook Messenger and like put his phone up and just like left it there for the end of a game once. Yeah, I think that's the thing. I don't know if Discord is on top of that, but I don't know. - You wanna look what? - Only one way to find out. - Right. - Yeah, okay. Yeah, 'cause we'd have to, I mean, it shouldn't be too difficult. Like, huh, I wonder if-- - I wonder how this is-- - 'Cause I know some streaming sites have built in guardrails for that. So like you, like, 'cause I know one it was, like when I was doing the Olympics, remember, I was trying to do that sticker for our Discord of Sabrina, like doing the shush, and I tried to do a screen cap, and it literally like the peacock site would not let me do a screen cap. It like blacked everything out when you brought up the thing. So I think they have some things in place for that, but-- - I kind of hate this new way media is now. It used to be, here's TV, TV has games, watch games on TV. - Yeah. - Now it's everything spread out across everything, and don't you dare try to share it with anyone, or else we're gonna come down on you real hard. - Oh, baby. - Fucking bullshit. Yeah, that's what they do. - Ski shaking. - They bend you over and come down on you hard. - Ski shaking is fist. - Yeah, make it rain on you. - Jesus, Steve. - I mean, like, somehow there's a war between cable and streaming, like, not between the entities, but between the people who pay for them. And why there is a war when both sides can't just be like, you want to know what? Both sides kind of suck. Comcast and DirecTV, they're like monopolies, and it's the worst kind of capitalism, 'cause I need one more cent per subscriber, or else the West Coast can't watch it, versus streaming where it's watching on Bipi and Boopo. But if you pull all together and you combine it with Boppy, it's a whole different thing. It's like, I just want to turn on my TV and watch stuff. I have apps. I don't have Comcast anymore. I'm not a chauffeur cable. Cable was a thousand times easier, and I don't want to hear anything different. I don't hear otherwise. Europe, it's a lie. It's a lie. I could get on my Comcast box and go, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Red Raiders football. And it would show me Fox Sports 3. Like, but now I'm having to hop on, you know, Fipi Foppi to find the one game a year of the Ducks are on. Oh, but it's a free trial for five days. So just get Fipi Foppi. Just, can we just stop? Stop, stop bundling everything and put a back on cable. It was better. We need to buy that. We need to buy that domain of Fipi Foppi before someone else. I mean, just like even HBO Max, man, there's a lot of great stuff on HBO. And they had Turner for a while. Maybe they still do. I can't remember. I know they've extended the free Turner stuff. Okay, that was a cool thing, but, but now I have to get Turner plus plus to watch Turner have the NBA for one more year. Like, what are we doing? Why are we making this so hard? Oh, you can't cable companies go back to cable. It was so much easier. It was easier. Yeah, it was easier. I think the one value in the apps is that you can watch all of the games. So like, just, you know, just the conference apps as, as, you know, as lame as they are and as, you know, not great as they are, like, you can watch every game now. On cable, you couldn't, you know, you're limited to just the, you had the network channels, you got the three Fox channels, you got the two ESPN or the four ESPN channels. And if your game happens to be on one of those, cool, you can watch it. If Oregon's playing Idaho, like, it's like the last few years, it's been on the Pac-12 network. But before then, when it was just, you know, when the apps didn't exist and it was just Comcast, that game's not on anything. Maybe it's not like OSN, like, Joe's game. It's like, Joe's a man. Yeah. Britain, Britain people, it's a shared experience. Oh, this game isn't on. Let's go to a terrible bar and watch the, watch the game. It's, it's a shared experience. Think what are we doing? See, the problem, the problem is it also was like, I, I was talking to my mom, I had to bring up to my mom. I was like, hey, you're not going to be able to watch the duck game on Saturday. You know, I tell her why she's like, oh, I'll just go down to, you know, one of the bars near my house and watch. I was like, here's the problem. A lot of those bars carry Comcast. So they're not watching it either. Yeah. You got to call ahead and find the one that somehow still runs like dish. Yeah. There's, there's no one craftier than a bar owner. That is true. The game on the TV though, I'll say that. Um, I think what we found out here is King is a big Joe Giancante and Anthony Newman guy like he wants, you want, no, you, you want OSN, admit it, you want OSN back. Joe, do you want TV and find the game? I don't care about Foxy Phippy. Like, please stop. Oh, you can give a 19th tile on your cell phone with another app. I don't want another tile. Foxy did you buy them all and call it Xfinity. Call it, call it Foxy Phippy. First of all, streaming is so great. You can stream the big tech network unless you're not on the tier. That also gets you a red zone. Oh, streaming is the future. Streaming sticks, the stakes. Don't tell me it's good. It's bad man. It's bad. I'm pretty sure. There's a million streaming services, put them in a one fucking screen. It'd be better. It's terrible. I don't want all the tiles on my TV. I don't want this more TV. I want a cable thing. 1037. Oh, 737 because it's an HD one one three seven because it's in four. OK, that's what I want. I don't want a million tiles. It's dumb. It's bad. It's things. Here's my critique of what you said, Braga. I'm like, oh, you get to watch every game now, right? How many games a week are actually worth watching? Sure, they're all on. There's only a handful on and usually they're on Fox and CBS and ESPN. They know what they're doing by putting the correct games on TV. Because that's games unless unless you're full. They need to watch the Western Illinois game kind of thing. You don't need to be able to watch all the games. Yeah, I'm pretty sure we have a clip from like a year or two ago of King saying the exact same thing about Comcast like just as angry. I hate it so expensive. Why don't they have all the games? What are you doing? Why are we paying so much money for nothing? Don't pay for screaming. So you don't want to get either. Stop running fair. Fair screaming. You would pay for screaming. You don't pay for screaming because you don't like screaming. I do like streaming. Would I pay for it if I wasn't getting my mom's for free? Probably. I don't know. I don't know. I'm going to continue. I'm going to continue. I'm going to take this tangent even far to be fair. To be fair, she uses my max account and my Netflix account. So I mean, we're we're a family. Maybe you don't. Maybe you don't know anything about that. Maybe that's what I get it. Everyone steals things. Maybe you're not. No, no, you are with a better trade. It's not a fast guy. That's what it is for my streaming services. For my two is, Hey, I have a Comcast account. Steal that steal. Are you? It sounds like you're talking yourself into getting Comcast. Again, Comcast. I don't like Comcast. I'm just saying, stop telling me streaming is easier. It's not. It's a line. We got to reconnect the cord. It's the biggest license. It's the record. Put it in the arc. They didn't rain that much. You're good with floats to animals, nothing. You can't have much animal shit in the bottom of a ship. You'll die. It's a line. Joan and the whale is real, though. That's one of my favorite Bible stories, by the way, like the the Noah's Ark thing. Because like just all of the the different theories about like, you know, getting accidentally bringing to male lions or, you know, like like all of the species that were on there. That died off because somebody fucked up. Some somebody heard it the wrong animal or, like I said, the lion just went around and ate everything. Literally ate everything. No, but to stay to stick on tangent here, what's even more ridiculous than all this streaming stuff is the, you know, MLB does it. And now NFL does it is the one off games where you have to get another service to watch that one game that week. That's what pisses me off more than this. Because like you said, if you get streaming, it's the same as Comcast. Just it's a different medium of it, right? It's the same thing. You know, you watch Fox and all that, but it's like, oh, Thursday night football, you got you have to get primed now to watch it. Oh, whatever that random like game or two a week they do for MLB. Yeah, have to get Apple Plus. That's that's the biggest bullshit thing of it all right. There's that. I'm curious about prime because I think I legitimately, I think more people have prime accounts than any other streaming service just because of like, just because they order things online all the time. Like like it's 60 bucks a year or whatever. Like you pay that like to save money on having shit shipped to you. So you like everybody has a prime video account, you know? Yeah, but fuck Bezos to where, you know, right before the pandemic, it was all right, you had that prime account. You got an extra like an extra day shipping, right? It came an extra early if you had that prime. And then you also got, you know, Amazon Prime video streaming services. And now, you know, the prime account means nothing because shipping takes equally as long as it did without it before. And now he runs ads on it on fucking prime. It's bullshit. It's absolutely. As I like ads, I don't find ads if it's just at the beginning before it starts. This is it. He wakes me up. It wakes me up. He's back. He's full of infinity, baby. He's full of infinity. Give me commercials. Give me commercials. I'm just saying, I don't mind him. Actually, I don't really mind the Amazon ones either because it's like two at the start of the thing and then they don't show you what you are. YouTube ads kill me. Those are worse. They're the worst. I pay for premium just because like they're they are the worst. Like I have that has been an intrusive thought of mine lately is to pay for the premium because it's like it's worth it. Welch is great commercial. I got to watch 20 seconds, click it through by the foot 45 seconds. OK, I'm done and then it's like explore Oregon. Oh, I can't get two minutes. I got to watch three commercials. I got to watch this. No, and you're and we're about to hit the political season. And it's it's going to get way worse. So if you're going to do it, if you're going to do it, do it now. You've been about to hit it. No, I mean, the political ad season is what I say. Like they hit it really hard on YouTube. So yeah, now is the time if you're going to do it. I I know King is probably been there with me where it's like, you know, you click on a video on a watch and add pops up that doesn't let you skip in five seconds, instantly click a different random video and then fail with try to get that. I will go do that instead of watching a 30 second ad, I will keep going back till I get the five second and I try to game until it's a fun little news. Yeah, refuse to watch full ad and like all the all the time it takes doing that ends up being 30 seconds. Yeah, I refuse. I feel better doing it that way. Yeah, I'm staying active, you know, like watching that Levi Strauss commercial. I don't even wear denim anymore. Nope. Nope. Denons. I do. I got to support the team, man. I got to support the Niners like goalie, boy stadium, I get it. I get it. OK, let's welcome to the podcast. We're like a half an hour in. That was pretty good, right? Alex King ski, Twitter handles are on the picture. You can find those join our discord that we mentioned sports brewery.

So, so those are fucking expensive, by the way. Fuck like any, any other basil growers out here? Any anybody out here making pesto like I am? Fuck pine nuts. Fuck pine nuts. God damn. Like $10 a bag. Get out of here with that Hunter Biden's America. Terrible, terrible movie. We have a movie podcast every Sunday. The movie this week is how to lose a guy in 10 days. It is on Paramount. So if you want to watch it, that's where you can find it. And you can listen to us talk about it on Sunday. This might be one. It might just it might just be better to just listen to us talk about it. Or you could drive to bend and go to Blockbuster. Yeah, the last Blockbuster and get a VHS of this. Yeah, because oh my God. 2003 movies, very dusty, very dusty. That was like a different time. I was watching it after like 10 minutes, like this movie looks like the fog. Like when you watch those 9/11 movies, where it's from, or like, you know, like first person accounts from like a mile away. Well, there's just like a film and a fog. That's what that movie looked like. It was a fuzzy movie as rippling abs in the beginning, which is just a little fuzzy because 2003. There was like several fan service moments with just with McConaughey's apps in that movie. It was, I mean, you know what? It was great. I mean, toxic, I mean, toxic, toxic femininity. I don't know. Yes, exactly. Why are we making men take off their clothes and all of these movies? Yeah, it's disgusting. How about when they'll respect us for what we are? Perverts, you know, smart, intellectual people who eat rocks. Bigger heads on the weekends, cause football. Hey, man, Matthew McConaughey's way more than just his wonderful, wonderful, glistening abdominal muscles. Yeah, we are doing this podcast, as I said, on Thursday night, live on Twitch. Right now, as we're doing it, Colorado is playing North Dakota State. North Dakota State just scored a touchdown, missed the two-point conversion. So Colorado's up 31, 26 with like two minutes left. So let's talk about this game. Cause I just earn less. You got something first. Yeah. No, no, no, about this game. So OK, North Dakota State is ranked number two in the FCS, right? They are. I think they lost four games last year. It was, but Oregon is playing Idaho who apparently is like number seven or number eight in the FCS. Yeah. OK, and I, we all realize this. Different programs, different expectations, different bench programs. Yeah. If with two minutes left, if Oregon is up by five or six at home against number, fired and landing, let's change it from two to eight, you know, North Dakota State. Idaho. So there's a little gap there instead of six. They're up by 10 with two minutes left. Fire day landing. Yes. If they're, if they're up by less than two, if they're up, not by more than 20 fire. And I know, I know, because I watched most, I watched this game before recently to not Mark Jones is doing what Mark Jones did all last year during Colorado games. I know he's kind of an outlier, but it, it, this would not, it's, um, I would not get much confidence from watching this if I was a real Colorado fan. They were losing at halftime. If the ducks were losing at halftime to an FCS school now, I don't want to know the collective just hit storm that would hit the internet. I know there, I know there's not a tarmac for home games, but fire Dan landing on the tarmac, find a tarmac, drive him there, fire him on it. Never should you be trailing at home to an FCS team at halftime. Never and like ever. So, so to your point, King, like real quick, because they, like North Dakota state came out hot in the first quarter. Like they, like Travis Hunter caught a touchdown pass with Travis Hunter's really good at football. Like we, we know, we know, yeah, yeah, um, at wide receiver and maybe not corner. Um, but North Dakota state was bawling with them, bawling with them the entire first F and like teams are going to try hard. And they usually try the hardest earlier in the game. So we know this like Oregon struggles against bad teams in the first quarter sometimes eventually they figure it out and win by 30. Colorado has not done that today. So, so I think, I think watching this game, I've learned a couple of things. Shoulder Sanders, good at throwing the football, Travis Hunter, good at catching the football and running with the football, they're wide receivers very fast. They're offensive line, peer garbage, they're running game, non-existent. They're defense still not good. So they're going to go against some like actual teams at some point soon. And it's not going to be good because Colorado, other than those few things, are not very good. You wouldn't, you wouldn't realize this. If you were listening to the game, they would make it seem like they're playing Georgia right now in their up three scores the way they talk about Dion in this buff's team. Coach prime, like the fact that he, the fact that people call him coach prime and will not call him anything else, like really rubs me the wrong way. Like it's, it's, it's bad. I mean, listen, we all understand the cult of personality. It's a brand like I get it. It's even more important walks of life than call the football coach. But it's, it's so corny to me that guys like Mark Jones, who call Sacramento Kings games. He's their, one of their announcers. And if you have, you know, league pass, he's not terrible. He's a little extra, but he's not like this. It's like, buddy, I understand. You had his poster on your wall when you were a kid. And maybe you got those turf shoes of his when you were a kid. I get it, but nothing he does. And I, some of the off the feels that I don't even care about, but the way he coaches and his philosophy, it's not. We, he's zigging whenever else Zags. Well, it's because he's lazy. Let me. Yeah. Yeah. This is not, this is not innovative coaching at all. The fact people will defend him for not recruiting on the road ever is an insanity. What, who, who's the best coach in college football coach right now? Kirby Smart. Yeah. Yeah. OK, OK, OK. So, so Kirby Smart, Ryan Day, a lot of Davos kind of weirdly in that. But you know what I mean? Like those guys, if Kirby Smart was like, I'm not leaving campus to recruit me more. People would destroy him and he has two national titles because that's not a winning strategy. But like I said, because we remember the NFC West and Andre, right? He is in and Dion Sanders punching each other in the face and it was fun. I get it. He's great. I'm not discretting it. There's just a free pass extended and some of that has been rained in. Like the hype for tonight's game was not anything like the hype leading into their first four games, five games last year. So it's died down a little bit. It's, it's just an insanity. People are like, that's not how you recruit. You have to recruit high school guys. Like the portal's cool, but you actually do have to get guys who will be there for two, three, four, five. You know what I mean? That's how you, that's how you get lines, like offensive and defensive lines. Which he doesn't care about. Yes, he doesn't know and he's not Nick Saban to where he has the pedigree behind him to Nick Saban didn't have to go out and recruit. The recruits come to him at that, you know, you win multiple national championships and put infinite guys in the NFL. Yeah, you can get away with it. You're not a, you have four win coach here thinking he's, you know, acting like Nick Saban out there, like, I'm not going to these kids, they should come to me kind of thing. Just even like Dion's thing going, oh, those parents don't want to see my nice house because it's too nice for them. It's like, that's, hey, that's weird. That's weird. And I'm like, also, are you aware of what other head coaches are paid? Yeah. I don't know what Nick Saban, Kirby Smart, Davos Winnie, Ryan Day, Dan Lanning, Kaylin DeBore, all these guys, Justin Wilcox, their houses are really fucking nice because they make five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12 million dollars a year. So Dion, I know you're rich. I know you're rich, but all your peers are too. And most of them, probably a little richer than you on a year-to-year basis now. I know he has Nike money. I know he's been famous for 30 years. He's got a guy in his coaching staff that I guarantee is richer than him in SAP. You know, SAP's house. No, SAP has gambling losses. I think SAP's got his money. Yeah, you know, maybe T.O. I don't know. Well, I mean, the amount of Copenhagen he's bought might, you know, shrink his house down a little bit, but... I'm saying, I'm saying. Yeah, it's funny you mentioned Wilcox, because even though Wilcox lives in Berkeley, I think he's still probably the richest person in his neighborhood, which is saying a lot... I don't know. Wilcox can't be getting paid that much compared to... Oh, he's probably like four million? What do you think? Three or four million Wilcox? Exactly. Yeah, he's a D1... That's the Wilcox salary. Yeah. Find out his, like, net worth too. Like the season, Wilcox signed a new contract extension, keeping him at Cal through the 2027 season. This is from Wikipedia. Helpful. Thanks, Wikipedia. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you, wait. How much does he make? Asshole. See? See? These apps, they don't fucking work, man. See, I'm with you. All right. I'm reconnecting the cord. For good. For good. Correct it. All right. Are you... Abrog, are you back on board with me and King yet from our argument two weeks ago? Wilcox makes, over the course of this new contract for six years, he makes an average of 4.75 million a year. What did I say, baby? It's a lot of money, even in Berkeley. More than more than... Even in East Bay? I'm just ironing. I'm just ironing. What were you gonna say? I can't ask you. You currently watching Colorado, Washington has yet to play. Are you back on King's and I side saying that Colorado is not vastly superior to UW? No. No, UW is terrible. Like, again. Have you, are you watching this game? UW doesn't, UW does not have a quarterback or a wide receiver like Colorado does. But they have a coach and a offensive line in some detail. Do they? Do they have an offensive line? Because they're replacing all of the starters on it. So I don't know. I mean, you think somebody's doing it better last year. So, now you're shitting on it. I know. Just like this guy. So, as I said in the discord, they play in different conferences. Like, Colorado is in a worse conference. They're going to win more games than Washington, because Washington is going to play like good teams this year. And those good teams are going to kick the shit out of them. Big pass interference on North Dakota State. That's the first down. That's going to be the ball game. I hate that was a little. I saw the head, the guy in the head turn. That shouldn't have been a pass interference. Yeah. And also, when Shador does that against D1 athletes. We're about 20 yards backwards again. Well, quite hard as well. And also, what cracks me up about Shador. We need to move on from Colorado. We do. We do. We need to move on to Utah. Could be a top three pick. Could be a top five pick. Okay, fine. He runs backwards like more than Caleb Williams did. And he's not fast or athletic like that, like Caleb Williams. And Caleb Williams will still run into trouble if he runs 12 yards back. Because it's not. Is Caleb Williams actually that athletic? He's sneaky. I'm touching the home. I can see one of yours. Why is Colorado throwing the ball right now? Why is Colorado throwing the ball? It's all they can do. And that's almost as hard as kids. North Dakota State has one time out. There's a minute and a half left in its first down. Why are you throwing it? Run the ball three times in the game is over. You fucking idiot. Dealing is such a dumb shit. He's a dumb shit. He's a bad football coach. Wow. That is so dumb. That's crystal ball stuff. Oh my god. I forgot what we were talking about. We're moving on. So we're moving on. Okay. Yeah. We need to talk about. You can let me fix this week by the way. We are. Yeah. I have. What are we doing? Are we doing trivia? No. I don't have trivia. I forgot about that. So my bad. Yeah. That's on me. Eamey. Sorry. I can make up for it with like a double trivia next week. I know we all want to know about Idaho. That's my bad. Well, I would have gotten steamrolled by King and Idaho trivia. Yeah. My grandpa played. I know. I had no chance. So when I was going to shock up a dub. He said the best record for a year. He was the career leader with 400 guards. I can't agree. Big a wing tee offense back then. Yeah. Yeah. He hit like two passes to a running back. When big fly. Love that. Yeah. We got to talk about cam rising before we do lines. Because cam rising has had five touchdown passes at halftime for Utah. I love what a Utah just. Southern Utah. Southern Utah? Yeah. Yeah. I love how Utah rotates. It's they play Southern Utah. Like snow college of Utah. And then they'll play some actual good to you. But they have like a rotation. It's just perfect. Yeah. I love directional Utah schools. That's for sure. How can you not see Colorado? That is what you're supposed to do against shitty teams at home. You drop 35 on them in like a quarter in change. And then your backups play the entire second half. That's what's supposed to happen. Yeah. Do we even want to like. They're throwing it again. Do we want to talk about the duck game? Is it even worth. Yeah. Like what's the talk about it? I'll give you. I'll give you three things. Who do you want to see on offense? What do you want to see on defense? And give me a backup that you want to see. So I'll say who I want to see on offense. Dylan Gabriel. Because if they're going to do what they haven't done. He's got to be really, really good. Because Oregon's not going to have like a top five defense. And what I want to see on defense as just a general construct. I just want to see how sticky the defensive backs are. And I know it's Idaho. Not going to tell you everything. And then who I want to see as a backup. I think it's I know is a bad answer probably and not helpful for this year. But Don Tabor. I just want to see. I just want to see if he is what he was. He could get some what's what's the new rule on. They might you could play that can't you could still keep a red shirt? Is it five quarters? It's like it's like five games. Like games. It's it's a lot now. Yeah. It used to be I thought they moved it to straight game or straight quarters. Not like oh you play you came in the game once for a series that count. Yeah. It was like unless unless we missed something it was like four games. That's what I remember it being. So it's it's very possible. We missed an update to that rule. But so fourth and three. Thirty eight seconds left somehow Colorado didn't run out the clock. Like that is incredible. Mario Christoball school of clock management here. Incredible. King's question. Personally, I want to see the most. I want to see Evan Stewart. I just want to I want to see a big receiver. See what he looks like a backup. If you call him a backup, I want to see how Whittington looks. Because he's probably the backup now, right? Yeah, he is. He is. Yeah. Coming off the ACL, right? Or was it a meniscus ACL? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And what was the third question to it? Just kind of on a defense. Like some general thing you want to see. Wait. So his offense defense and then what? So story you want to see backup you want to see and just a general thing on defense. One of that picture from rushing three or? I just I want to yeah. I just I want to see getting pressure on the quarterback. I want to see Maddie you and Birch. I want to see all those guys with D line and ends getting pressure. Because if they don't against I mean this is a great lit necessity should dominate. So that's what I want to see. I want to see Jordan James. Like I like because if he's going to step in and be the starter, be the number one guy, which which I don't know that that's actually going to happen. I imagine they're going to rotate both of them like quite a bit. But if he's going to step in and be the number one guy, I'd like to see him get like a buck 50 against Idaho. You know, I want to see him run hard. I want to see him be really difficult to tackle. And he should be able to do that against Idaho. One would think that's what I want to see. By the way, I really want to see Evan Stewart like at the ball. Yeah, that's really badly. The only reason I didn't say him is because you did. But like I like because I think we're being affected by the video game because we've all played with the ducks and we know how fucking fast he is on that. He's fast. Yeah, so he's big that I'm seeing more as the side. I want to see him just throw balls up too many end zone. That's what I want. Like a combination of Tez and Stewart, just their speed. I really, really badly want to see. And then what was it up the backups, right? I'll back up here. I don't know. Yeah, like I honestly don't know. I do want to see more. I'm sort of stealing your pick on that. Like because I think as we know, Oregon always needs a backup quarterback at some point every season and we think, you know, he's like a five star recruit. So we think he's going to be really good maybe. Oh, that's someone to helmet. So that's a big one if they call it. Let's see that review. No. All right, nine seconds left. So we think Dante Moore is going to be really good, but we'll see. I don't know, Jerry is out. We'll see. Yeah, I would like to see him come in complete like 10 to 12 passes for like 90 yards and maybe a touchdown. That's what I'd like to see. And then you guys want to see third. You guys want to see Moga or Nova said like at all? Really even. I mean, I'm good. I'm not mild. I don't think Mo is I'd rather see Moga than Nova said. Well, John kids want to assess. Nova sat throws the best ball. And I feel like I feel like Moga is going to find himself in a different position in the future. So yes, I think so too. Yeah, better than Nova said, I think. Yeah, but Nova said it's not going to see the field ever either. So neither of them are going to see the field at quarterback. So prayers up. Yeah. All right, Hail Mary, let's go. Oh, holy shit, he caught it. Oh, I'm probably like ahead of you guys, huh? Yeah. Yeah, he just might be just through it in the air. North Dakota North Dakota state caught the Hail Mary at the five yard line. Oh, man, brutal. If that was Nova said at quarterback there, he's getting that ball to the end. The balls out of the end zone. Are you kidding me? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Too much arm defense. I don't want to see Idaho throw the ball at all. I want to see under a hundred passing yards by Idaho. There's no reason that they should be able to throw the ball whatsoever. Actually, they shouldn't be able to run the ball either. Actually, no, I take that back as I'm thinking about the defense. I want to see the linebackers more because we know bossa. We don't know anybody else like who are who I guess they don't release. Yeah, well, it's like purchase food purchase is supposed to play. God, who's the other guy? I'm blanking on his name. He's like number four. What's that dude's name? King. Do you remember? Oh, like the other Jacobs. Jacobs, Jason Jacobs. Thank you, yeah, so I don't know. Like we don't know anything about Justin Jacobs or Blake purchase, so. Well, you got it. And then because well, Betcher was starting at the end of the year, wasn't he? So he was fighting as as you would know, if you watch the YouTube movies that Oregon puts out, you would know he's battling for a starting position. Yeah. And isn't there a five star freshman line back or two? Or is that coming in next year? The fast guy? Yeah. Yeah, we should probably know more about Oregon's roster. This is why you play Idaho week one. So you could get to know all the backups and stuff. Should be our answer right there. As we don't know anything about this team, other than what we've seen in the video game, we'll find out. That's what we want to learn inside of you guys out there. You're going to listen to another podcast. And they're going to say, you want to know what? I'm going to do really positive things about Devin Jackson. Second year or sophomore in the sideline back or ran a four to four. It's like, no, you didn't like. Yeah, bullshit. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you're making that up. I say he's fast, but OK, regale me in his how he's stopping the run on the inside gap. Like, yeah. Do tell me on holding guards. Do you tell me more from your practice reports? Uh huh. Sure. Right. Yeah. Right. Yeah. We all watch. We all watch the same YouTube videos you do. You're not allowed to watch practices either. So I will say, I will say going into the year, I am scared about the offensive line. Because of Bedford. It is an unknown kind of. Bedford, who we haven't seen. We just know he's supposedly a good transfer is just now starting to practice. Yep. Ever being hurt and that, uh, though I'm blanking on the guy's name. Call an Asian guy. Lulee or. Lulee. Yeah. He's like the starting left tackle or something, right? Nope. Yeah. But he's not. He's not put Dave or something. I don't know his name. I know you're talking about it. Dave and so we got to walk on starting. That could be a thing. That could derail them real quick. I mean, not against Idaho, but they get a couple more injuries. And those guys don't come back quick. Yeah. Good luck on October 12th. Yep. Yep. I guess I also want to see Sappington kick. I want to see a kick or that. He's been terrible. It has to. I have. Well, you're here. Your insides are telling you. He's mostly says he's terrible. Oh no. It mostly is taking. He says something negative. Oh God. System day kicking. You know it was just atrocious. Is he like is he like a mole? Is he like Oregon State mole? Like. Sappington. Yeah. His hat's from like 40. We're not bad. Yeah. But apparently every practice report is like, Well, I thought he was. I mean, this is all just hearsay. I thought it was like an actual kicking battle too. Going in like cam. Wasn't that like boil? Isn't he the other? Is is boil still around? I think so. Please no. He was he's a punter, right? You're talking about a punter battle, I think. No, I think the punter is that Australian kid that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he ain't losing his job. That guy is a stunt. I'm pretty sure boil was a punter. I thought he was a kicker down too. That's the big question going into this season. How do you replace Cam Lewis? I mean, there's the big question, right? I mean, why is no one talking about this? Bonix, Oregon will be fine. Cam Lewis, cash cam. How are you going to replace that production? Leading score in Oregon program history, you guys. How are you going to replace that kind of production? You don't. That's the question. That's the answer. Yeah. All right, we should do lines. We're going to run out of time. There's a shit ton of games. So yeah, I'm really glad I didn't do trivia because we'd be going for like three hours tonight. All right. All right, so. King, this is we need a. We need an introduction. So line lines, lines everywhere. Lines, Colorado stinks, Dion's doing lines. That's why I lost the toe. Key, please start the lines, lines, lines, lines. All right. So we have 15 games here to pick. Well, hang on. Hang on. 15. I think we should do a quick recap of how last season went. Oh, I'm pretty sure a king or I won if I remember. Right. Well, I mean, well. Pretty sure. Hang on. Hang on. Pretty sure. I got this. I got this. I mean, pretty sure. Well, actually. Tell me that. Not the one. I think you'll see. I think you'll find, if you look at the data, that. I got. I got shocked. I got. Booble actually said. Booble actually sent me this earlier today as like a refresher. I was like, oh, thanks. I totally wouldn't have thought of that. This guy's getting his number from fucking rasp mucin over here. I think he's extremely skewed. I think it's the most skewed numbers I've ever seen here. I'm going to reading his OAN numbers over here. Like, one of what's going on, man. The numbers are telling me I'm. The numbers are telling me I'm crushing. You guys have no chance of crushing. When it's by a lot. Nobody. Nobody knows more about picking games than me. I'll just read the final. I don't know what to say. I have a Delaware state against Hawaii. No one happened against the rainbow warriors. I was a hornet all the way. Look, I'm not saying. I'm just saying. If anybody needs to know anything about Idaho, you come to me. I'll just read the final tally from that. I don't need to read the star pick scores or anything like that. 84. Oh, that was me. King had 73. Ski had 68. So, you know, I mean, I think it was the winner. I have the winner. Seems like you were, yes, a little Enron accounting, but that's fine. I am. Cook in the box. Cook in the box. Cook in the box. So, by the way, like listener, if you're new to us picking games, which I don't know how that's possible, but ski gives us the line that he was able to find for said game. We pick the winner and then out of all of the games he gives us, we have a star pick, which gives us an extra point if we get it right. So, that's it. So, we'll start off first game. Like I said, there's three games today. So, we saved us three spots. But first game got FAU against Sparty. Sparty home, 13 and a half points against FAU. Give me Aiden Shiles, Jonathan Smith, and the Spartans. Yeah, they're going to come out and put on like a show, I think. They're going to make a point because everything's new, I think. I have Sparty as well. Yes. That's, you know what, you're not right off the bat, start picking right away. You're this fucking guy. I'm very confident in that. All right, now next game we got one of King's favorite schools. We got a directional Michigan school playing Wisconsin. Wisconsin's 23 and a half point favorites against Western Michigan. Give me Wisconsin, get them, get the Mac out of my fucking life. No, it was the chip. It was the chippies. I might take the chippies either. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Or the Eagles of Eastern. I'm taking whiskey as well. It just fits. They don't want to be writing these down. Yeah, I'm trying to get back. I have them all, all the games right there for you. I'm writing mine down because I believe you believe them. I write mine down because I like to keep track and keep this guy honest. Yeah, I just got to issue Google today. Look, you want me to bust out like my old notebook? That's not happening. It's, it's, it was in the fireplace. Yeah. Are you on Wisconsin too? This is weird picking big 10 games. Like this is weird. It used to it. Yeah, I know. I know. I'm really glad we didn't have to pick Rutgers because I would have been depressed. Like fighting Chianos. Got what a dog fight they were in half the time. Yeah, they ended up winning by 40. Yeah. Yeah, Wisconsin. I don't, you know, I actually think like they'll probably win by 21 or something like that, but I'm still picking them. That seems like a very Wisconsin thing to do. Our next game we got Yukon. They're playing Maryland. Maryland, 20 and a half point favorites. Mayor, you want to know what? Maryland. I was trying to make a case for Jim Lauren, Jr. and his Huskies to go to go in there and I just couldn't do it. How are you going to do it? After Yukon, they, you know, surprised people last year. You know, I think they were winless two years ago. They, they won some games last year. I think the trend's going up. Give me Yukon with the cover. You guys know that Yukon plays like 40 miles away from their campus. I did not know that. It's just like the middle of nowhere. If you Google Yukon's football stadium, it's even more desolate than the Patriots one in Foxborough. Yeah, I take a fucking train to get that fucking box. Little fucking trees. That's, that's the ducks playing in Corvallis. Like, that's, yeah, pretty much. That's crazy. I also have Maryland. Yeah. Give me Maryland. All right. Not confident about any of these teams so far, like at all. Here's one of the, this one's an actual, I'm not sure how good of a match. We got Penn State. They're eight and a half point favorites against West Virginia. Penn State. Lock it up. Star pick. True alert. James Franklin. All they do is beat mediocre teams by Jeff Apple point. Right. This has got, this has got Penn State winning by 10 for the point and half of a whole day. So give me Penn State. Same. By the way, I play, I'm in a CFB 25 dynasty with some buddies. And I use Penn State in it. And their running game is very, very good. They have two very, very good running backs. So it might be something to think about moving forward. Quarterback super duper average, but. This guy's got a big advantage over me, especially where I'm not playing NCAA bunch to know. You know, oh, I don't know. I just assume Penn State's got a decent running game as usual. So do you even research, bro? Figure it out. God. No, I'll give you this receipt. Illinois State, they're at Iowa. 22 and a half points. Are you? Iowa is my sneaky college football playoff team. But you want to know what? Illinois State covers. Oh, look at this. Illinois wins. Illinois State covers. We're Vegas. Are they the Cardinals? Yes. Pretty sure they're Cardinals. Yeah. Vegas is saying that I was going to score at least 22 and a half points. Like what, what in the history of Iowa is making Vegas think that? But you just got to think back to 2001, Brad Banks. Yeah, that's my problem. I'm not thinking back to 2001. I think you finished like third the Heisman. They got a violation for their quarterback. He's got to be good, right? Yeah, no, it's Kate McNamara. Yeah, it's got to be good. Yeah, not good. Yes, we get that. Give me eye. Give me Iowa. They're winning 24 nothing with two defensive touchdowns and a short field. Touchdown too. That's a good point. That's a good point. Like the defensive touchdown. That's a real ski. You convinced me. I'm going Iowa too. Still go with my red birds. Well, if they score a touchdown, I think you might have it locked up. King is wrong. I got to move. I'll fix this one, baby. Give me one. Score one touchdown, RJ Long, Illinois State. Speaking of that song. I wish I might want to go look and see what Illinois State's teen total is. It might be under a touchdown. I'm going to do that after I finish it once. Hey, Skier, Skier, we're going to get a cease and desist for that song. King just sang. I mean, that's like a professional song. Oh, the other red birds. They are the red birds. Yeah, yeah. I mean, the Cardinals. They are the red birds. So rather than didn't kind of works. Next thing we got Indiana State. They're playing Purdue. Produce 33 and a half point favorites. You want to know what? Boiler up. I believe in Ryan Walters. I believe in Ryan Jacobs. I believe in Jalen Jelks. I believe in Chris and Macklemore. Go Boilers. Those are all names. I believe in Harvey Dent. Yeah, I'm with you also, King. Cause I just think this is the game. Purdue always crushes a shitty team and gives them that false sense of hope early that they're actually decent, but they're not. Boiler up. Church. Is that a train? I know, did I just make a train sound? I don't know. All right. We got to run through some of these because these other games, some of these games are bad. You tip. Some of these games are bad as if these ones you didn't just read. Are also bad. Those are great games. Okay. Yeah. That's great. All right. Nebraska is 27 and a half point favorites against UTEP. I don't know about you, but I'm getting corny. Give me Nebraska. I got UTEP. UTEP with the cover. It's going to be like 24. Nebraska is bad now, right? Allegedly. Yeah. They got a quarterback who causes places. Patrick Mahomes. Yeah. They're back. Give me Nebraska. They're back. Bill Brasky. All right. Another fantastic game. We got FIU. They're going to Indiana. Indiana, 21 and a half points. Indiana. FIU is a fucking abomination. Even though they just sold their naming rights as stadium. It's going to be called Pitbull Stadium. Dolly, this worldwide. Yeah. Mr. Worldwide, obviously. So, FIU versus FAU, like we've picked both of them. What's the difference? Florida Panther, one's an owl. Florida Atlantic, Florida International. Okay. One's in Boca Raton and one's in like Fort Lauderdale. But they both let you think they were in Miami. You know, that's the key is they all figure in Miami. That makes sense. Indiana. Yep. I'm there with you as well. All right. Next goal, big game. We got Miami of Ohio against Northwestern. Northwestern. A two and a half point favorite against Miami of Ohio. They're going to be 15,000 people strong at that La Crosse field on Lincoln and the temporary bleachers for Northwestern. And brother, brother, you know, beat that. Give me the wild cats. Give me the wild cats. You don't walk into a makeshift stadium with stands there rolled in the day before on a field they laid down a month before and just think you're going to take down the Wildcats of Northwestern. No, sorry. Two and a half is a wild number against Miami of Ohio, dude. Like, I feel like that makes me want to go Miami of Ohio. So I'm going to do it. All right. So I'm taking the Miami of Ohio as well. Because it's not cold. It's not cold there yet. It's still good warm temperature. No, they don't get that like field goal to a touchdown advantage with it being, you know, sub freezing coming off the water there. Yeah, so give me Wally Zurbiak in Miami of Ohio for the win. Um, next game we got, uh, it's the battle of LeBron here. We got Akron, they're playing Ohio State. Ohio State, 48 and a half point favorites. Anybody else? Surprise. There's a line for this. There's a line for everything. And Akron's a math team. So, I mean, they're ARFBS, uh, OHIO. Give me the buck, guys. Will Howard, this is a game that Will Howard will look great in because he'll run it up the middle like 10 times for a hundred yards and three touchdowns. So this is close. I saw a stat of it's just under the benchmark though, but it was teams that are 50 points or higher favorites are only four and 12 in covering those in the last like two years. Yeah. That's the thing, right? I was going to say because like we're going to have to face this when we pick the Oregon game too. It's like Oregon's going to be like a 50 point favorite, but teams don't really run it up that like we don't see Oregon and New Mexico 72 to nothing games. You know, like I think Oregon did score 77 on state last year. Yeah, that's true. Like they don't even have to try hard. Well, like you're seeing it in like in Utah right now, they're up 42 nothing and like the tail end of the third. They might not score in the touchdown now. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I know. I'm taking Ohio State because Ohio State's probably going to score 50 in the first half and then just rest on their laurels the entire second half. I'm going Akron with the points. It's going to be like 42 or something, you know, like the backups are going to give up a late touchdown to give us a bad beat. This guy just loves the Mac. We know it. Well, witness, that's what it's all about. Yeah. All right. Um, another each one. Yeah, Fresno State, they're playing Michigan, Michigan 21 and a half points. Michigan, Michigan, Michigan, because Fresno State's defense was bad last year and Jeff Tedford had to step down for health related reasons like two and a half months ago. This is like a, this is a big time, like coming out to start the season statement situation that Michigan's in, you know, like, like when, when in the national title, having the shit with Harbaugh happen, like people saying it's like not legitimate, all this stuff, and they're going to come out and fucking line up Fresno. I mean, yeah, this is going to be like a 50 point win, I think. I mean, I don't think Michigan is very good. But like you said, new coach, first game after the title at home, you're going to try to run it up and look like you're on be like you're repeating kind of thing, you know, that's what they're going to try to do. So yeah, I think if they don't like actual concerns about Michigan, you know, that they lose like three or four games this year. And I like I said, I don't think they're that good. So yeah, it's would be. All right. Ooh, this is the battle of you guys here. We got UCLA Kingsborough and 13 and a half point favorites against Braga's bows. Anna Bruins, baby, big clap. I can't believe you're putting me in this position. Hawaii, I have to. I have to. It's. Yeah. Yeah. Never. This Hawaii. Yeah. Who is playing for UCLA? Like who's their quarterback? Do they have any running back? I think is it Ethan Garbers? Is he still there? No way. I feel like Ethan Garbers, I'd still be there. Isn't he Cal's quarterback? I know that he was watching his quarterback. Let's see it. We all Google Ethan Garbers. They got a hassle. They got Henry Hasselbeck, an incoming freshman. Yeah. Ethan Garbers, senior lock up UCLA for this cover up. Yeah. Yeah. I know. I know. I know that I got to go. You got to go with your heart sometimes, man. And I'm just going to pencil this team in for you here, Braga. We got Weber State. They're 25 and a half point underdogs against UW. So I mean, you said UW is the worst team ever. Yes. So Weber State usually covers, right? Correct. Yep. Yeah. Weber State. I'm taking UW because. You don't. Yeah, you know, because it's Weber State. UW's not going to be good, but it's a Weber State. I don't know. I don't know. All right. Um, and then pretty much the lone good game in the conference, week one, we got LSU, four and a half point favorites against USC. LSU. That is such a low line. Like LSU. Yeah. LSU, but like three scores, man. Yes. Yeah. I don't even know what you make of this. You know, the top two picks in the draft are the quarterbacks from each of these teams. I don't know who's on playing quarterback for these teams. It's Jackson Hart still there. Doug, it's a Doug Nussmeyer or Doug Nussmeyer's kid. It's a Nussmeyer versus Miller Moss for USA. Oh, Miller Moss is still there. Yeah. Give me a see then. He's a big Miller Moss guy, at least has some, yes, some experience, right? Nussmeyer's back. I feel like Nussmeyer backed up Joe Burl. He's been around for a long time. Garrett Nussmeyer is his. Garrett, of course. I don't trust a quarterback named Garrett. Garrett, he was back here with coach Joe. Oh, Garrett, oh, Garrett Nussmeyer just signed a huge, and a NIL deal with Powerade. What was the last time you guys drank up Powerade? Actually, I hate to say this. I buy Powerade because at a certain store in town, I just like the grape and it's like 68 cents for the Gatorade grape is like $1.84. But other than the grape, I haven't had any Powerade in like... That's just really responsible right there. It's all that. Yeah, so you can't not take advantage of the deal. Yeah, I like it more and it's $1.20 cheaper. I'll take the ridicule. Powerade's also signed a deal with USC wide receiver Zachariah Branch. So we got competing powerade here. Competing Powerade matchup. They're damn near giving you that Powerade. Powerade away for free. They are. With the 10 cent deposit back. I mean, shit. Yeah. All right. It's a couple of times together. It's like eating celery, right? Like you actually lose calories. All right, ducks are 43 and a half. 43 and a half point favorites. Ducks. Yeah, or sharpie. Yeah, big time. Was that your star pick? That is my star pick. Because yeah, I don't... Idaho is not going to score. And like I said, if Dante Moore comes in the game in the second half, they're going to want to see him throw the ball some. So they'll still try to score at least into the third quarter. What was your star pick, King? King's was Penn State. Penn State, yeah. All right. Class lines. All right, we did it. Lines. Lines. God, it's going to, we're going to have to, you know, figure out the timing. I mean, it's going to take 25 minutes, lift off 18 fucking games. We need to do it. No. Yeah. Well, once the pre-sear the non-conference ends, it gets more condensed. But the next two or three weeks, yeah, we'll need to write them off quicker. Well, we got to stop talking about Colorado for a half an hour. That's, that's what needs. It was on. It was just, it was on TV, you know. Yeah, I know. We're topical, man. We're topical. We're nothing if not topical. All right. Let's do our list. Yeah. The list this week comes from our discord. Give me one second and I'll figure out who it comes from. Sentry up. Free up. Free up. Free up. Free up. It was Fender. It was Fender. It was Fender. It was Fender. Yeah. The list comes from Fender in our discord. And it is the top three biggest tourist traps in the state of Oregon. So the top three things that people who come to Oregon are told, yes, you have to go do this thing. But they actually suck and are not fun and generally a waste of money. Top three tourist traps in Oregon. Well, I'll start because I think my first one here, a little controversial here. My number three is Breeze Rock. Who wants to go see a rock where a guy was wasted and not high on drugs? It's not even like a rock. It's just like a wall. A rock wall is all it is. Did ski just like steal my take? Like, is that what just happened? This is your classic take. This is my take. Hang on. No. No, I totally agree. It's waiting. You know what, dude? It's not on my list. But like, I couldn't agree more. Like, it is the weirdest obsession that I think people have in this area. Is that rock? Like, he literally died drunk driving at that spot. Like, it's, you know, I know people put up like little like monument things when people die in car accidents on the road and stuff like that. But the fact that it's like, I don't know, it's weird. It's just weird, you know? And can we bring this up? I mean, it's sacrilegious to say as, you know, eugenians slash Oregon fans. Pretty great in college, right? He was a bust on the Olympic level. It's not like he was like... Dude in the Olympics, pray. Yeah. Dude on the international scene, Steve. Beat the Europe. Dude in October. You're building Europeans. Come on, pre. Yeah. It's like he was like an Olympic champion either. It's like, yeah. You're a judge, you're great in the regular season. Yeah. You're still in Quinnic counts. There's a medal on the line. You ain't good, pre. We're doing methaman and how high. You're a killer. We're doing methaman and how high. Get him. Yeah. He's really, you see, McGregor, he's free. He's free, put Steve, pre-fontaine. You have a grainy ass. Give him a hall of paper. She didn't. In October. Do it again. Yeah. Do it again in the summer. Do it again, Ashley. Do it in Tokyo. Do it thick. Stop. Stop the assassination, Steve. Why didn't you do it? Lunar. Didn't he, um, didn't he get hurt by the boycott, boycott of the Olympics or something like that? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. That was pretty good. Yeah. Whatever. Why are we on faxing it in a way? Cross the line, Steve. Be a scab, Steve. Yeah. Honestly. Figure it out. Be an independent runner on the Olympic stage. Like all those Russians. Yeah. Exactly that. Um, yeah, by the way, he would be locked up. Like communism. We already thought he was a commie with his long hair and his mustache. Totally. He would actually be put in jail, I think. He would be put in one of those camps that the US government put together during World War II. And I'm like, oh, did you know that we did that? Oh, okay. Um, don't look that up. Don't look it up. My number three is the Oregon Coast Aquarium. That place. I went there last year with the 12-year-old. And they were doing construction on it, to be fair. And so a lot of it was closed. It is mostly boring. Like, you know, at least the Oregon Zoo is like big. And there's a whole bunch of different areas. Like the Oregon Coast Aquarium is small. It doesn't really have a lot to look at. And it's expensive. And all you're told, like when you go to Newport, it's like, oh, you got to go to the aquarium. Like, you got to take your kid to the aquarium. And it's like, uh, you go to the aquarium for a couple hours. You buy an overpriced stuffed animal when you leave. And you're like, oh, all right, I've seen that now. Fish are boring. Fish are a thousand percent boring. Yeah. Period. So someone told me a fish is fascinating to them. Ooh, a shark. Ooh, look at that shark. It's just plotting along in the water. Not doing shit. If you throw some food in front of it, they'll be fucked a lot. Yeah, but they don't do on us. Like, or on us are fun. Fascinating. Just don't throw the nuke at them, right? Yeah, don't throw the nuke in with a piranha. You're okay. Listener, listen to our Jaws podcast for that story. What's your 3K? I number three. It's a food place and it's more of a construct. It's the hipster taco joint. Taco vore. I like it. Yeah, but it's like, uh, there's a, um, uh, 4k no is the one up in Portland. You got to go to 4k no. You got to go to Taco vore from the South Valley. Yeah, there is hipster tacos. I like them both. Yeah, they're fine. Fincer tacos. No, they're fine. Oh, it's wrapped in a plantain. How interesting. Yeah, which is less overwhelming. Taco vore or voodoo donuts? Voodoo sucks. Like voodoo actually is bad. Like, oh, look, there's Captain Crunch on a coat order. It's how cute. Oh, fun. Eat that. Oh, you get to find it. Now that's the joke. Yeah, like bacon on a maple bar, like, okay. Like that was that was so 2004, man. Like the stuff they put on the donuts too, like the cookies and the cereal and stuff is so dry and old and stale. Like I don't get why people like it. It's weird. Here's my problem with voodoo. It's a donut, right? So you need a good base and actually have a high quality donut itself before you put all the shit on. It's a very average donut they offer you. So yeah. You go to like the donut place on highway 99. That's a better donut. It's a better donut. It's actually, this is really good. Segway into our listener number threes, because both Booble and WCP said voodoo donuts for their number three. So it is wildly overrated. Yeah. All right. What's your two? All right. My number two, you said the first part of it, and I'm going to say the Oregon coast, the beach. Go to the beach at the Oregon coast. Not fun or exciting or anything good. But there's this difference between going to the beach and staying at the beach. It's a big distinction. Yeah. But if you're a tourist, you're coming through the coast like, oh, let's go check out the beach. You stand out there. There's 80 amount of winds. You can't touch the water because it's 20 degrees. Now, if you're just off the beach, you know, a trail that maybe overlooks the beach. That's fantastic. But I'm not touching the fucking sand on the Oregon coast. I always feel bad for people who like visit the Oregon coast. By the way, it's not a beach. It's the Oregon coast because it's fucking cold and the water is freezing. I feel bad for people who come from like the middle of the country to the west coast, and they go to the Oregon coast because what they are expecting in their head is a beach. They're expecting like California and sun and not fucking 30 mile an hour wind and like 40 degrees. Even on that front, the California coast, isn't really that welcoming for swimmers until you get to like San Luis Obispo South because you ain't swimming in Monterey Bay. You ain't Santa Cruz. You walk in that water. You ain't swimming in it. No, it's Los Angeles and South. Look at the beach down. Nothing above is no. You know, if tourists just knew that go to Oregon coast, don't actually go to the beach and just hang around. Walk some trails. Look over the cliff sides. That's fine. Yeah, but don't touch the same. If you like the cold air in your face and mist, then that's what the Oregon coast is good for. Again, Oregon coast, not beach. We don't have one of those. We don't have one of those. Yeah, the shore. That's East coast, I think. I think that's, yeah. My number two is Powell's books. Ooh, I like reading. Miss me with Powell's books, dude. Like, it's so interesting. It's a bookstore. Wow, wow, hey, hey. That door to serve and it's used. I'm crazy. Beach, something red, this book, it's white page. And I'm a quiet, haunted palace. Like, thanks, thanks. I wonder, how many books do you think have been bought at Powell's that no one has even touched a page to read? Because they went there. Oh, yeah. I don't know. Right. And if you go to Powell's, you have to buy a book, right? Yep. Tourists go to Portland. They buy books. They're like, oh, I was in Powell's. I bought you this book. It's like cool. Oh, Fair Verona. Cool. All right. I love the cap. Yeah, by the way, thank you. By the way, like, a used book is the gift that I got the verses. That's what makes it special. A used book, like. This was in someone else's bathroom while they were taking shits. That's the alert. It's like, you know, I could buy this history of it. You know, I could buy this new on Amazon for eight bucks, right? Like, why did you spend $15 at Powell's for that? Because it's heavy. That's the charm. You need that. Wait to it. Come on. Oh, dirty. You need that. You need that. Steven through the pages is what you need. It's like a gym. Rotary. Every time you get a book from Powell's. Thanks for the vibe. Or at me, Jack London. Well, Portland. Made Portland a great city, but like, there is some useless shit in Portland. That's one of them. Same vein. My number two overrated tours trap in Oregon. Omsy. Math and science institute. They'll pay $120 to do some math and science. Hey, bud. Welcome to college. It'll cost you a lot more than have fun. Just wait, just wait. Thanks. Yeah, why are you skipping ahead and paying 80 bucks? Look, I'm going, look at this exhibit. Do math. Well, how fun? Not fun. Not fun. I went up to Portland last week with my kid. And the plan was to go up like Friday night and hang with some buddies. And then Saturday, the plan was to go to Omsy. And like, I didn't tell him about it. And the more like time went on and I thought about it, I was like, I don't actually think he'll have fun. Like, I don't think it's actually like, they have a submarine there. Like, so kids can go in a submarine, which is generally like a cool thing to a kid. But we went in a submarine when we were in the Bay Area. Like, he's been in a sub. He doesn't need to do that again. Like, we're, I think we're good. Like, if you're taking your kid to Portland and you want to give him some real life like experiences, just take him to Portland Meadows. Watch from the broadside bridge. Yeah. Watch the, yeah. Watch the degenerates bet the ponies at a dead track that nothing runs on anymore. It's quite the spectacle. Give him $10 on the, on the, on the west side of the Rose Garden Motor Center. Tell him find a place to park. Use them box, find a place to go. I love that science for you, baby. I love the books. Thanks for taking me on this excursion to do. Cool work. You might as well spend that money. Give by $10 worth of smack and stay. You never hear in a parking spot there. Oh, see, get over yourself. This, my boy, is what we call a mint julep. Go get your dad one. Yeah. Not my top three. It's an eye out of a mention, but since we're dumping on Portland, the world's smallest park in Portland. Get the fuck out of here with that. It's a weed, like a two by two weed in the middle of the street. Get the fuck out of here. Fuck off. Oh, look, there's a kid with a little bitch. Stay weird, Portland. Yeah. Fuck off. We're so wacky. We're so wacky in the valley. We don't want to pay for sports, but we got this tiny ass fucking national park here. You know, people. Isn't it cool? It costs $10 million to maintain. Did you give your two yet, gang? Yeah. Yeah. That's right. Yeah, that's right. Okay. Two's from the chat. Booble said goonies slash animal house locations. It's good. WCP story. Yeah. That's a good point. Actually, story has got pretty. I mean, let's be honest. It's the way we just went over this. No, no, no, no. No, the story is pretty. What did you say about the wind? That's key. It's like double the wind of like going to Florence. Yeah. It's like no. No, nothing is windier than Florence. Nothing. You can go to one of those bounce house trampoline places and they have the wacky hurricane thing you step in. Not as windy as Florence. Florence is the worst. That's what shaded all of us on the coast is that we went to Florence a billion times and it fucking stinks. Yeah. Because the north jetty is just nothing but dunes now. That was going to be my question. Like, is Florence actually cool? It's got like a small town. And old town's fine. Is it? It's got like a snow in. It's got one decent golf course. So that's something. Private beach is cool. A little north of Florence. Yeah, okay. All right. Question. What was last? Have you been to a story of semi-recently king? Talking of a story is great. It's probably been like four years. Do they have any attractions? Do they have any attractions for kindergarten cop there? Like, oh, this is the house or the school where Schwarzenegger was supposed to be in kindergarten cop. I don't think so. I don't think so. I didn't go then. I saw the cannon there though. That was something I pretended I cared. Ski, you would go and visit the kindergarten cop house. No, you wouldn't seem to fucking goonies house. Yeah, I'm not seeing it either. Two from WCP in the chat. World's tallest barber pole in Forest Grove. Is that a thing? Home of Joe Jansante. By the way, Forest Grove. Oh, yeah. All right. Nice. Fun fact. Nice callback. King again with his obsession with Joe Jansante. Hey, is Joe Jansante from the OSN network? Bring back OSN. A coward. I want my third tier. All right. Ski, what's your one, man? My number one, it's fitting since we've just been shitting on Florence. Biggest tourist trap is going to Mose. Mose is awful food. Awful food. It's by the way, you can get Mose Clamp Chowder now it out to the stadium in your face. It's bad. It's not good. Another clam chowder is fine. Well, it comes in a bread bowl. Whoa, so great. I hope it's a, I hope Oregon's wearing brown uniforms. It's a brown. I'm going to say when he's going to Mose. You might be in diarrhea in Austin Stadium. The worst people that go to Mose are the people that go to Mose and they're like, oh, have a BLT. Eat the fuck up here. Eat the fucking chowder. Eat fucking chowder. Jesus. Oh, the ocean is right there. He didn't see it. It's right there. I'll have the Turkey Club. No salt on those fries are there. I will say Mose probably overrated, but you know, just don't go there and order. I'll have the smash burger. Why? Why? Why? Let's see. My number one is sea lion caves. Sea lion caves. I haven't been since I was a kid. Because I remember how lame it was when I was a kid. Like you think like a kid would enjoy going into a cave and seeing like these really majestic creatures making loud noises in the cave. But I remember being really bored and leaving inside of 10 minutes. It's gross. Like the sea lions aren't always there either. They're very far away. Yeah, people pay money to go in there and you can barely see the sea lions if they're there at all. It's like, why does this exist? And you're told when you go to the coast, it's one of the attractions you have to see. Like if you're going up the coast, gotta stop in sea lion caves. Wow. They're the seagulls of the sea. They stink. They're loud. And if anyone's had fishes like on the umpquah or the sausla, all they they're the laziest fuckers. They just sit and wait for you to hook a fish and then come and steal it. Try to steal it from you. Kill them all. They're worthless. Aren't seagulls the seagulls of the sea? They don't live in the sea. All right. I mean, they're anyway, I'm not going to argue with the sea. And they're not real in their birds. So they're not real. Yeah, that's true. That's true. Good point. Yeah, sea lions very much real. And they stink. And they're not fun to look at. Because that's all you do at sea lion caves. You pay money and look at sea lions. Fuck out of here. No. My number one, I'm directing my eye here towards a completely different part of the state. Going to East Island. We're in a little league. In the summer. In the winter. You can get me. You stay there. Pretty. It's snowing. In the summer. Everywhere. Oh, look. It's Wizard Island. I mean. Wizard Island. Oh, now what? Well, Wizard Island. It's the deepest lake in the world. Oh, can I go swim that? No, no one's allowed to touch. Or you could barely look at the water. You definitely can't touch it. You keep those sunglasses on, boy. Because the, you know, the, the people that get your old display. So I'll race you. If you look at it too closely. Forest apartment. Whatever that word. It's cool. You just got to, you got to just glance at it. It's all you do. That's terrible. In the winter time to getting. Stay there. Get a cabin. Quaint. No. Got it. Summer time. Oh, I've had a chipmunk that's. Domesticated because everyone just feeds them pellets. It's, it's crazy going there. And like trying to have a picnic of any kind. Because chipmunks will swarm you. Like you will, you will be surrounded by chipmunks. So it, you know, if your kids want to see chipmunks, I guess Crater likes cool. I got Snow White. On Comcast DVR. Yes, but if you've seen it once, here's a news flash. It hasn't changed. So you're good. I got, I got chip and Dale, baby. Let's turn on chip and Dale. Rescue Rangers. What else do I need? All right, that's it. Our number one's from the chat. Booble says the organ country fair. I feel like drugs and old naked hippies and. Have you ever snorted Molly off a penis, Booble? Yeah, try it and then get back to us. Yeah. Just saying. Number one from WCP is sea lion caves. Yeah. Hey, but you can pay five dollars to put a penny in there to smash. Oh, you have to say sea lion caves. It's a great deal. And then you can buy a wallet for that penny. Like because they sell those too. Uh, honorable mentions from the chat. Uh, WCP says, uh, pretty much all things in Portland. All right. Uh, the blazers, the blazers. What do we do? Certainly. Yeah, blazers. Don't care about blazers. Get out of here. He also says country fair and he says the Shakespeare festival. I haven't. I've never done that. I don't mind. I, I've only been a couple of times. It's fine. Yeah. You have to be, you have to be cultured to go down there and listen to those thespians speak their old, tiny, fucking Brit talk. Drink their lithium water. Clearly WCP not, uh, smart like us. I'm saying I, I, I, I don't think I'd ever go again, but I've been. They don't got any engines at the Shakespeare. I'd appreciate the craft. Yeah. But don't even get any solder on Mount Ashland. What a terrible ski resort. That places. Jamie shred the no. Can't, yeah. No, no. There will be no Nars shredding of any kind. Honorable mentions from Booble, uh, Portland. What are we doing to Portland? Let's stop this. I think he said Bob. I think he said Portland. It's weird. And that's not a good thing. Fuck Portland. Bomb. More than I'm talking to him. He says fire. Yeah. Portland's on fire. Cuckoo Joe. I called him. I called him in and he said no. What are we doing to Portland? Come on. The streets of Portland are rivers of poop. Nothing. Well, that's true. It will happen. I mean, close out of the north. It's pretty gross now. They're not beating that allegation. Wow. He says. Big. For Portland guys. Big if true, Booble. He says Seattle greater than Portland. I mean, it's definitely bigger. Yeah. In population. Yes. The weather is worse. In Seattle. Yes. We haven't watched a Mariners game. But before we leave, I just want to say, I just want to say, I love how they're in year 25 of Safeco now T-Mobile. And they're like, why are we always hitting 189 at home for 81 games a year? I don't know because you have the roof open and it's 41 degrees in cloudy every fucking night. I don't guys. Why? Why can no one hit there? Weird. Weird. No one can hit there on the west coast. And you're in the worst weather on the west coast. If you can't hit in LA and you can't hit San Francisco and you can't hit San Diego, you can't hit in Seattle. Get rid of the bears. Put them in the bay. Sick of them. Downable. Bobby, would you agree with me? Bye, good night. Move the Mariners to Oakland. That's all I'll say. And a podcast. Again, movie on Sunday is how to lose a guy in 10 days. It is on Paramount. One of those apps that King hates. How to lose a guy in 10 days. Only a sidewalk or a chilis and apple bees. Let me tell you, huh. Don't present some kakiso. Cheese, give me those three buffalo wings. Please. The only apps I want are bundled and they have their mozzarella sticks and wings. And that's the only bundled apps I want. Yeah. So how to lose a guy in 10 days. It's on Paramount Watch. It listened to us talk about it on Sunday. Guys, go ducks. Go ducks. Sure. Thank you for watching. Thank you for listening. A good. Bye. (chimes)
