Now in a pause stretch, now start another hot streak, the last 15, 20 games of the season and storm into the playoffs, Todd. I heard-- I think it was Chris was talking about that. And I don't necessarily subscribe to the theory that the Diamondbacks have gotten too hot too early and there's no way they're going to be able to sustain it for the rest of the season. Certainly, they will probably go into a lull. They just dropped two or three to the New York Mets. So they're not going to just keep winning every game. But you just, you would like to keep winning. I don't think it's a bad thing necessarily to have a hot streak in August. It doesn't mean you'll be-- It doesn't mean you'll be-- It doesn't mean you'll be tremendously. It doesn't mean you're going to be cold in October just because you were hot in August. You could be hot. It's just not how baseball works. Sometimes hot streaks are longer. Sometimes they're shorter. Sometimes the cold streaks run longer and sometimes they run shorter. First half of the season, they couldn't get on either a hot or a cold streak for the most part. Remember? Like, felt like-- Yeah. Win, win, lose, win, lose, lose, win, lose, win, lose, win, lose, win, lose, lose, win, lose, win, lose, win, lose. They're kind of right in that section right now again, where they're neither hot nor cold. But they've done a good job of avoiding the five game losing streaks that plagued them in the first half of the season. That's what this weekend to me avoid the five game losing. 100%, man. Got to win at least one, hopefully two, and keep at least the 500 train going until you get to the final month of the year. Have we considered bunting more? Steve has. He sent me another video to pass along to Mike Shilt. We can't do that again. I didn't. We passed it along last week. I told, I asked, I got the clarification from Shilty last week. Practice bunting. Steve, they practice bunting. They don't have any more time in the day to add a grading system and more bunting to their schedule. They have a system in place. We bunted the other night. We did not win the game. You're going to win some lose some. They have shown the ability to get bunched down, bunning for hits, sacrificing-- Tyler Wade almost had a bun hit yesterday. Tyler Wade almost had a bun. Good play by Paul Goldschmidt. He tortured the pod race. He did. He sent hits in the series after he sent like 220 coming into the series. Ouch. Nate always has. Always has. The third highest OPS ever against the pod race is Paul Goldschmidt. Our pal Steve, he sent you another video. It's on our Ben & Woods as well. He-- I think we're good. I think we're set on bunting. Jerkson got his bunting down. It didn't help them win, Steve. It didn't help them win at all. There's a flaw perhaps in your theory there. But also, like, they've shown, and we have run it by the skipper Mike Shilt. And I promised you that I would do it now. We did. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So he didn't seem that enthusiastic about upping their bunting practice. All right, so we're going to have take on Woods here in a couple of minutes, 833-288-097-3. If you want to try to qualify for the trip to Las Vegas, I think the last chance to qualify since the calendar changes over the weekend. So this is your last shot to get in for the two night state resorts world and we carry under wood tickets. But we do have a couple of minutes to kill before then. Paulie, what do you have for us? Ladies and gentlemen, we needed to switch up the vibes, keep things fun, light, positive on a Friday. It's taken about three and a half, four months. But we do have for you today, right now, the fourth installment of things Ben likes. I can't believe it. I don't even remember saying that much later. Oh, but you did. I like the tanginess of the cranberry. I like reflecting. I like all 10 rock and roll too. You know I do. I like and I like my standard, very uninteresting haircut. I do like hearing people talk about how well it's going for the Padres. I like numbers. Oh, I like the bits. I like to be educational. I like when I get up, have a glass of cranberry juice cocktail. I like Adam Major. I do like butterscotch. I like your tweets a lot. I still like this deal. I like to live my life after another famous Benjamin. Benjamin Button. I like when the Padres take 203 from the Dodgers. I would have liked to have tried something else. I like Darren. I've always liked Darren. I like watching LeBron and Anthony Davis. Sex by the fire at night. That's what I like. I like Jake Grover. The last couple of days, I really like his swings. I do like horses. I like the Padres lineup. I like when things just flow perfectly. But I like Indian food. I just like a good, honest answer. I've liked what I've seen from Donovan Solano so far. I like that idea. I like 18 games in 18 days. You know what I like where the Padres are? I like the new one as a team. I do two of us together. I like to picture people actually in a recording studio. I like the way the Padres play baseball. What I like is the variety of the wings. Yes. I liked everything about this week. Sex by the fire. I like that. What is that? What's that? That was from-- Oh. Was that a rap? It was Ben Reed's raps. It was that Bruno Mars song. Oh, God, dude. Freakin' Paulie. I like Paulie just text us here. He's like, all right, it's ready. Fourth installment, like you are kidding me. Sex by the fire at night. That's what I like. Overrated, I think. I don't know that I've done it the only time. The one that killed me and I have no idea where it came from, why we were talking about it, what Ben could have possibly meant. I like to live my life after another famous Benjamin. Benjamin Button. Incredible. What does that mean? I'm keep looking younger. Oh, is that from a spot? I think that was from a-- I don't remember what it's from, but shouldn't we all like to look younger as we age? I would love to. It's literally physically impossible for me. Look older by the day. That is staggering. The worst one there was I like 18 games in 18 days. Are you out of your mind? I like 18 games in 18 days. I think that was because it's content. It's good content for us in the show. Oh, OK. Yeah, well, I guess it's why I said it, but at this point, everyone's dying for a day off for the San Diego Padres. I do like horses. That is incredible. Incredible work, Paulie. Thank you for that. Holy cow, Benny. Well done. Well done. Time to start-- It's time to start new one, episode five. Well, and the thing is, if you pile that one on to the rest of them, it's going to be, at some point, an hour and a half of just things you'd like. You can get up, go number two, come back, grab a cup of coffee. I mean, how long is it now? The one you have. It's like six minutes, yeah? You put them all together, like all four, eight minutes. It's probably like four, five, four, five, five minutes. It's a long time just to say things you like when you think about it. Yeah, it's actually what's the total runtime, either both of them. Yeah, it's probably probably good. You probably get them all together and see what you get. I don't want to hear it, though. Then Ivan points out, we have one for Woods. I love Paul skiing. I love Paul skiing, that's it. That's all you have. I don't love a lot of things, but-- Yeah, that was great, Paulie. Well done. I love Paul skiing. It's a very short segment when we play things Woods loves. I love Paul skiing. I don't get me wrong. I love Paul skiing. He has some videos on Instagram that I lie in bed at night and I show my son. That's true. Told you, there's one that he says. There's no reason not to believe in yourself. My son is so down on himself. I wonder why, because of what his dad is. And I just show him this video on Paul skiing. There's no reason not to believe in yourself. That's good content for a young man, right? There's no reason. It's hard to believe that your son could be down on himself when he's literally the most popular kid in San Diego. It's weird. It's weird how it works, man. But he is. He beats himself for a while. He definitely takes after his father. It's crazy. He beats himself up. And so I showed him that video. And yeah, we were playing last night and I said, he wanted some grounders. And I said, there's no reason. He goes not to believe in myself. So it's sticking with him. So thank you, Paul skiing. I do love you, but I love Jackson Merrill Moore. And I want Jackson Merrill to win the rookie of the year. How about that? All right. You want to play some take on woods? You ready to go? I'm ready. Let's get to it. It's time for our Friday edition of Take on Woods. It's time for Take on Woods. [MUSIC PLAYING] Woods. [MUSIC PLAYING] Woods. [MUSIC PLAYING] All right, Take on Woods brought to you by Valvoline. It's done oil change. It only takes 15 minutes. You don't have to get out of your car for directions and discounts. Go to socowoilchange.com. That's socowoilchange.com. Paul, you picked someone on our list here. OK. Let's try line two. Is this David? Good morning, gentlemen. Good morning, David. All right. You're the last contestant this month trying to qualify for the grand prize drawing of the tonight's day at Resorts World Las Vegas and two tickets to carry Underwood Reflection at Resorts World Theater. It's her critically acclaimed production. It is on now. I think they've extended it through the spring. If you want to go, you can get your own tickets at rwlossvagus.com or at access.com. That's a access.com. But to win them, you're going to have to beat her tightwoods. Five questions of musical trivia. You get the advantage of the category. Four knowledge of the category. Here are your choices, David. Sister acts. Bands or artists with sister in their name. Asian Nation song titles that feature a single word ending in A-T-I-O-N, Asian, and our new category, Little Shop of Horrors, song titles or musical artists beginning with the word little. So sister acts, Asian Nation, Little Shop of Horrors, David. What would you like to play? Let's go for the first one. Sister acts. OK. Today we're looking for five different bands or artists with sister in their name. So not the song titles, but the actual bands or artists. They'll have 60 seconds. If you don't know an answer, you can say pass. We'll come back to it. There's time left on the clock. First question is the two-second song. You do need to give me that song title and the artist with sister in their name to score that point. David, you understand? You ready to play? Yes, let's do it. All right. Woods is in isolation. 60 seconds on the clock. David, your time begins when Paul plays the music, the category sister acts. Good luck. Let's take on Woods. [MUSIC PLAYING] I got this. We are family. Correct. June, Bonnie, Anita, and Ruth formed which girl group known for hits like I'm so excited and jump. I want a rock. And we're not going to take it. We're two mega hits for which metal rock band formed in 1950. Correct. Which American rock band is best known for their 1997 hit single All for You? Bono called them the best pop band in the world in 2004, shortly after which band gained fame for their disco version of Pink Floyd's comfortably numb. All right. Let's go back to June, Bonnie, Anita, and Ruth formed which girl group known for hits like I'm so excited and jump. All right, time is up. You got too correct. You got We Are Family by Sister, Sledge, and Twisted Sister. It's June pointer, Bonnie pointer, Anita pointer, and Ruth pointer. Those are the pointer sisters. Sister Hazel sings All for You. A lot of people in the chat got that one. And the last one is called the Scissor Sisters. That's a tough one. Woods gets that one, I'll be impressed. We'll see if two holds up. Stand the line, David. All you can do is wait and hope at this point, because it is now in Woods's hands to determine the winner of today's game. All right, no category for Woods. He'll figure it out as he goes. 60 seconds back on the clock. Your time begins when Paul plays the music. Good luck, Woods. Let's take on David. [MUSIC PLAYING] It's-- I'll pass-- I'll come back. June, Bonnie, Anita, and Ruth formed which girl group known for hits like I'm So Excited and Jump? Pointer sister. Correct. I want a rock, and we're not going to take it. Where's your sister? Correct, which American rock band is best known for their 1997 hit single All for You? Sister Hazel. Correct. Bono called him the best pop band in the world in 2004, shortly after which band gained fame for their disco version of Pink Floyd's comfortably numb? Sister Taint. Incorrect. So let's go back to the two second song. That's all that's left. [MUSIC PLAYING] I love this song. What's the category? It's just something, sisters. [MUSIC PLAYING] How am I blanking on this? [MUSIC PLAYING] I don't know. I'm so tired. You did win three to two. Oh, my god. He got the two second song that you didn't get, though. That's We Are Family by Sister Sledge. Sister Sledge. And the last one, tough one, Scissor Sisters. I had not heard of them before. Oh, I love Scissor Sisters. You like Scissor Sisters. [MUSIC PLAYING] They're so good. What the hell happened to that band? Well, you snuck in the victory, nonetheless, in the category, Sister Axe. The Scissor Sisters-- [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] It's the name of the band. I know. [MUSIC PLAYING] Again, please. The Scissor Sisters. [MUSIC PLAYING] It's delightful. They enjoy arts and crafts. Yes, that's what that means. That's what that means. That's what that means. Ooh, man. I don't know why that tickles me so much again. The Scissor Sisters, the name of the band. Bono is a big fan. What's his big fan? His matter of factness. That's what it is. That's what it is. If I said, hey, have you ever heard of the Scissor Sisters? It wouldn't be funny in the slightest. The Scissor Sisters-- Not even the little bit. Holy crap, that's so good. Oh, man, that's great. Thank you, Betty. All right, don't do that. David, thank you for playing. Came close, but we have our now drawing contestants that are left at the end of the month, probably about five or six winners over the course of August. It's a good month for me. It was, you had a good month. OK, don't do this is coming up next. I have one of the worst sports bets you will ever see. Oh, this was a bad one yesterday. And I'll go Nick Castellanos for commissioner of Major League Baseball. What a great idea, actually. He would never get voted in to be the commissioner with this idea that he had. Commissioner, we'll get-- But this is good. You guys will like this. It's coming up next. We've been at Woods after traffic here on 97.3 of a fan. You spent it over here. Now at T-Mobile, get four 5G phones on us and four lines for $25 a line per month when you switch with eligible traders, all on America's largest 5G network.

Don't do this. It's time for Don't Do This. What were you thinking? Three stories from the world of sports that make us all shake our heads. Why am I-- How many times do I have to tell you? I'm sorry I fudged up, guys. You idiot. You moron. Don't do that. The apple sometimes does far fall from the tree. Don't do this. Do not tweet that. With Ben and Woods. I like a Nickelback song or two. On 97.3, the fan. I got a couple of DDT stories for you here on a Friday. And I will acknowledge all professional sports leagues and teams to a certain extent are a little paranoid about their secrets getting out. Padre is included, all of them. It really is universal. However, at some point, it gets kind of silly. And what I'm talking about is the NFL is getting a lot of criticism for-- I don't know if you've seen this. So they have imposed a series of stringent limitations on Tom Brady in his role as a Fox broadcaster, because Brady is applying to invest and become a minority owner as well of the Las Vegas Raiders. But they say, hey, even while you're in this process, because you're now in ownership, we can't let you really do anything that a normal broadcaster does. He is not allowed to enter other team facilities, even during the week, attend any practices, or even be a part of any broadcast production meetings, like when they go and sit in the conference room and talk to the coaches and stuff to get insight for the game, like behind the scenes stuff. He's also restricted from publicly criticizing game officials and other clubs. Because the fear is that Brady might somehow communicate strategic insights to the Raiders during his broadcast. Well, if you can't do any of that, you can't really be a broadcaster anymore. So like an official makes a horrible call. Like, you know, completely blows a critical call at a critical moment on the national TV game. And Tom Brady just has to smile and go, yeah, I can't say anything about that call. I mean, it doesn't make any sense. You know, OK. I thought it was a great call. Maybe you want a great call. Do you want that? You want to be an owner? You want to be a broadcast? That's true to you. You know what I mean? You know what's making him be an owner or a broadcaster. Buy your team. No, you can't do everything in life. Right. That's true. It's it's there's there is there. It's such a thing as a conflict of interest. What's Fox paying him? Like a hundred three hundred and seventy five million dollars was the contract, I believe, for Tom Brady. Something like that. Something ridiculous. Good God. Brandon said, Ben, you're a bigger basketball fan. When magic was involved with the Lakers front office, you could barely say anything on ESPN. Yeah, I mean, there's it's a conflict of interest. Got 10 years three hundred seventy five million dollars. So you're telling me if he's on the Fox call for. So basically, all you can do now is show up on Sunday straight to the booth. Show you go. He's calling a bills at Patriots. He is not Tom Brady. Is not allowed to roam the halls of Gillette Stadium. No, go any more production meetings. Talk with coaches. Made apparently for a game. I mean, maybe he's just a giant Raiders mole, just a big spy spying on everyone mean for the Raiders. Instead, I mean, where did he play his career? Where did he learn it from? Where did he learn it from? It's feasible, possible. You have the other one to this. Yeah, OK, so this this may go down as one of the worst sports bet. I can't wrap my head. So what makes a bet bad? Well, everyone loses bets. I mean, you know, pick team, they lose. Even when you loop bet a lot, that's a bad bet. But you're going to lose bets sometimes. What makes a bet bad is when you bet an insane amount on a heavy, heavy favorite in order to win a very small amount of Monterey and then they lose. They lose. So last night, in the second round of the US Open, tennis in New York, bet MGM says they had a better who put $25,000 on number three seed Carlos Alcaras at minus $10,000. That's 1 to 100 odds. So if he wins, he wins $250. If he loses, he loses the entire $25,000. He was taking on nobody from Netherlands. Botic van de zen de shulpe. What were the odds of saying again? Minus 10,000. There's 1 to 100 odds. So for every $100, you bet you win $1. If Carlos Alcaras simply straight up wins the match, not only to Alcaras lose, lost in straight sets. Oh my god. Botic van de zen shulpe mopped the floor with Carlos Alcaras, the four-time grand slam champion. And this better, lost his entire $25,000 trying to win 250 bucks. I'm even betting at minus 200, they're like, it's not worth it. Minus 200 murders you, and you're like, all right, it's the Dodgers against the Marlins or some no offense. Skip, I'm sorry. Dodgers against the White Sox. Sorry, I'll never do that. Watch him out. Marlins have almost pulled even with the Rockies. I know, yeah, it's right. It's Dodgers White Sox, and you're like, all right, yeah. I mean, it's like minus 300, and you're like, I can't do it. Throw it in a parlay. Yeah, throw it as one of your parlay games, certainly. But don't, don't go straight up. One of our tier ones yesterday tweeted me a couple of years ago. I had 5k, 5 grand on a baseball game. On the cards money line over the Marlins, Ryan Helsey came in with a one-run lead in the ninth, gave up a two-run bomb. The cards lost three to two, I will forever hate him. He said, also, the night before, I had 5 grand on the Padres right before they blew a 6-0 lead to the Diamondbacks. 10 grand, two baseball games, both in beyond vicious and brutal fashion. That's too much money to bet on a baseball game. It's just too many variables. I mean, you just never know when a guy gets odd, whatever. Like, there's a healing problem. Go, what are you going to do with it? T-E-T-E-Z-O-0, 4-6. I can't even a chance, so if he had won, it would have been a $250 payout under $10,000, right? No, $25,000 bets. Correct. Either you win $250, or you lose $25,000. Can you imagine how miserable it would have been watching that match, losing the first set, watching him lose the second set. You did. I mean, he's come back from two sets down before he's the king of five setters. He's going to do this, right? He's not going to lose to Botec van de Zenschulpe of the Netherlands, right? No, he lost it. Can you think of any matchup, like, obviously not, like, in professional sports, like a real matchup, not the Celtics against a varsity high school team? Right. But, like, a real matchup where you would take minus $10,000 off? No. I can't. I mean, again, I'll throw it in a parlay or something, but I can't-- Alabama against the worst team in college football. It's not worth it, man. Yeah, it would be one of those Alabama against, like, an FCS school cupcake to open the season. And you're not win. Not like giving 50 points. You were just straight on. That would be something like that. Bet $25,000 to win $250 or something like that. That's just-- you just clearly-- you're in it for the judges. You know, the casinos, the casinos go. You have $25,000 you don't need $2,250. We know we're probably losing $250. But if there's enough idiots who keep doing this, eventually we're going to make all our money back and mensome when they lose that one time. So that's $25,000 he lost. Just paid for 500 other guys who are trying to make the same thing happen, you know? Imagine somebody putting $100 on the other guy, though. Nice little day for you. Yeah. Really nice little day. I didn't hear of anyone actually betting on both. Why didn't this idiot do that? That could have gone the other way. Yeah, gone the other way. That's crazy. You're dropping $25,000. Dropping to their $200. This is pretty cool. They only win $50 if you actually win the $25,000 bet, though. Let's do do this here for-- D-D, mega-doo-doo. So Nick Castellanos did a little pre-game thing with that. I don't know who this guy is. He's like a baseball content creator, Alex Tantam. And he asked him, hey, what would you do if you could change the game a little bit? This is pretty interesting. The game. I would change that ownership doesn't have any severe consequences for losing for an extended period of time. So just like if we're in the big leagues and we don't perform well, we get demoted or cut. If their organization didn't perform well, somebody else would have an opportunity to buy it from them. Just keep it to where nobody can really own the game of baseball, because the game is above true ownership. I think that's brilliant. Punishment for owners that aren't committed to winning. I don't know how you enforce it. I don't know how you-- Well, they do it in English soccer quite well. It's called relegation. relegation. And if you don't perform well, you actually get bumped down a league, and it costs owners a ton of money when that happens. So they'll never do it here. No. But they do do it, and it works quite well in other parts of the world. Dick Manfart is sweating bullets right now, Bob Nutting. But that was an interesting story. So Jerry Reinsdorf is sweating. What actually makes Nick Castellanos' idea-- John Fisher. --reasonable is that you're not telling the owners, you're just losing your investment. We're just telling you, OK, you now have to sell market value. Sell. You have to sell the team. It's not like you're going to lose all your money. You're still probably going to make money. But you're no longer going to be part of our sport. If you're not going to-- It's attempt to compete. --attempt an invest in your team. That's great. Even Reinsdorf would make money selling the way it saw us. Yes, for what he paid for this. It's an absolute-- Absolutely good rails. I mean, if you're trying and you're like putting payrolls out there and your team stinks every year, and you hire the wrong people, that doesn't mean you have to sell. Artie Moreno probably gets through, because he actually spends money. It's foolish money, but he has spent money. Exactly. But, you know, the guy in Colorado and John Fisher, certainly, what do they do for John Fisher? And Pittsburgh? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think that's pretty frightening. I know. Can at least say, I'm trying. I literally am trying. I'm trying. You know, Tampa Bay, they don't spend, but they've been smart enough to put competitive winning team. So they're OK, too. But if you are both cheap and bad-- Yes. --it's time to move on to someone else. I think that's great. I love this. That's pretty smart. I like where his head's at. Let's don't and do do this for a Friday. That was don't do this. With Ben and Woods, 97.3 the fans. I was actually so delighted yesterday when I got the text. I think it was Paulie, who said, I want to bring back something that Ben did last season. Oh, I love this bit. So we're going to bring it back in our next segment. It really helped a lot. It helped. I'm so glad. Yeah, it's very helpful. I thought no one really appreciated it last week. No, I appreciate it. I've set it up again. The ultimate college football Saturday. This is his favorite thing. I love it, too. I love this. I think it's brilliant. Are you ready for football? Get to that and more coming up next with Ben and Woods on San Diego's number one sports station, 97.3 the fans. College football season is just going to hit us. Sure did, man. Out of the boot. Well, we're usually kind of looking forward. Like last year, we were looking forward to it to get out of the doldrums of covering the Padres every day. This year I went, oh, my God. We were on the livestream last night and I said, my beloved fighting Irish play on Saturday, I haven't even looked at their depth chart. I have no idea who's back, who's not the portal. You just kind of wait for all the dust to settle, you know? And so I'm-- And I said to you, I don't think anybody knows who's on their teams anymore. And you said, well, you know, the diehard Texas fans, they know everybody. Yeah, Bama. But Georgia. With the turnover now, the portal turnover, and I'm not saying it's a good or a bad thing. It's good for players to have the freedom and flexibility to go where they want, make some money. But in terms of being able to follow your team, much harder, much harder. Way harder. You know, San Diego State's entire roster is pretty much new. They have like half a dozen players back, I think, from last season, from Brady Hogue. And when you have a new coach that's going to even multiply the turnover, obviously, in any program. But it makes college football. I mean, it's already all about the coaches. This makes it even more about the coaches and less about the players. Maybe with one exception. And I did watch some of the Colorado North Dakota state game on ESPN last night. And while I think it's going to be another tough season for Deon Sanders in terms of wins and losses, his son and that two way wide receiver slash defensive bank Travis Hunter, they're both unreal, unreal. You could just tell physically the kind of plays they make. Shadoor Sanders grew for 445 passing yards and four touchdowns. And I get he's not just hype. He's no, he's talent. He's got talent, but I think Travis Hunter might be the more talented of the two 132 yards and just seven catches. So I mean, so fast. I saw someone tweet. He's clearly never been like not the most athletic player on the field. And by the way, that may still be true when he goes to be in a film next year. He may still be the most athletic, fast, agile person on the field. He made three touchdown catches. They were all spectacular in their own way. The last one though is unreal. They just kept getting better and better and better. And Colorado still needed to survive a Hail Mary on the last play. It was caught, but just at the five yard line because the quarterback couldn't quite throw it far enough to hold on for a 31 26 win. So team wise, they got some issues, but individual player wise, those two are worth the price of admission and could both go in the top 10, even top five of the draft next year in 2025. Yeah, I got that, got that dub, a little bit of a nail biter against the not great opponent. The defense is very porous, very, very porous for the Colorado Buffalo. It says they were last year as well. No, North Dakota states a really good FCS school like championship, but they're not, they're not a SBS school. They're not like these other teams. And they still hung with Colorado the whole time. Dubs of dub, dubs of dub dubs and with that. They had some dubs of dubs at the start of last year. And we saw how it ended for them last year. 100%. But that brings us and we'll get to after traffic, our ultimate college football Saturday, your marathon. I put your schedule together for what you should and should be watching on Saturday first, first week. Like a little travel agent. We'll get to that right after. Check a traffic here on 97 three the fame. So full schedule of games week one, I think they had 20 plus games last night already to get started. But you got a lot of games on Saturday. And my, my promise to you is that I will try to be as unbiased as I can in picking what I think are the best match ups. 9 AM West Coast all the way through the night game. If you want to sit down and prioritize your college football watching, I want to give you the best schedule possible. This one sounds like an ad for ABC 10, but it really wasn't that close. The best games are mostly on ABC this week. So if you want to start your day, 9 AM Saturday morning. By the way, college game day, I think Johnny Manziel is the guest picker. They're going to be Texas A&M in the morning. So if you want to wake up early for that, then at 9 AM at Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, I hear Adam Kluge's ears perking up right now. Number 14 Clemson versus number one, Georgia. Pretty good matchup, maybe the matchup of the day in week one starts your day on ABC at 9 AM. Then at 12 30, a roll right into a Florida rivalry matchup. Number 19 Miami, the U at Florida on ABC as well at 12 30. Then at 4 30, you can either stick with ABC and watch Woods's seventh ranked Notre Dame fighting Irish at biofield led by quarterback Riley Leonard. There you go. Riley good old Riley at number 20, Texas A&M. But you said Texas A&M is actually favored because they're at home by Irish field goal. Irish getting three points, three points. Or if you'd rather, you can switch over to NBC at 4 30. Number nine Michigan post Jim Harbaugh era first game for the defending national champions taking on Mount West School Fresno State in their first game at the big house at 4 30. And then if you're really a die hard, not a lot of great games at night, ESPN after dark, but it's going to be at number 21 Arizona hosting New Mexico at 7 30. If you're still watching by then, you started at 9 AM and you follow all the way through the end of the New Mexico Arizona game, you are a college football junkie. No doubt about it. You have a problem in my in my younger days, pre family, no problem. Sit and rot on the couch, get dominoes and watch seven football games back to back to back to back to back to back no problem. There's no way. You can get to watch the Irish. I mean, you just never know what the day is going to bring. So if you're curious, I don't, I don't think it should be a good game. We mentioned they're favored by like 34 and a half points, but if you want to see what the new Aztec offense looks like, they're playing at five o'clock at Snapdragon Stadium, I believe on true TV against Texas A&M commerce in that game as well. Sunday game. There is a Sunday game. Yeah. Number 23 USC at number 13 LSU that is also on ABC. It's the only game. So you have to watch that one. And then there's a Monday game as well because there's no NFL Monday night football this week. Boston College at number 10, Florida State already 0 and 1 trying to bounce back from their loss in Dublin at home against Boston College. That's an ESPN game at 4 30. So a fairly, this is the one weekend they have to themselves with no NFL. So they're taking advantage. And the rest of the matchups that are pretty much cupcakes versus powerhouses, those are the ones that if you're at all interested in like decent college football matchups, that you probably should be prioritizing tomorrow, like West Coast dominant schools like Oregon, Washington, they're all in the big 10. Yeah. Yeah. Oregon, Washington, USC UCLA. There's really, I mean, Washington's playing at home. So they got, I think it's like an eight o'clock game and I don't know how good Washington's going to be, but they're in the championship game last year. All those teams moving to the big conferences, like you're going to see them earlier and earlier in the day, right? Sure. Yeah. Well, they're going to have to make more East Coast road trips. The weirdest two are Stanford and Cal in the ACC playing like Yep. Cross the way like in the southeast of the country, no more Pac 12 after dark, no Saturday nights aren't going to have a lot of great games. My guess would be this season, who's the top ranked team, Georgia? Yeah. Well, they have like 14 players arrested. Does that affect? Doesn't, it doesn't hurt them at all. That's how it goes. They're that good. They're that deep. Adam's going out and getting arrested right now just to help morale with the team. It's just to be he wants to be like a Georgia bulldog, but you never know. It's, you know, what at least a few of these ranked teams pre season are not going to be that good. Top five right now is Georgia, Ohio State, Oregon, Texas and Alabama. Nice. All right. Totally. So weird. New top five followed by Ole Miss Notre Dame Penn State, Michigan, Florida State. I mean, if those 10 teams like Ole Miss is the most, oh, Ole Miss, they snuck into the top 10 of those teams. Yeah. That's about it. Everything else is like you the actual normal college football football. It was last time Georgia wasn't ranked Alabama, Ohio State. It's been let alone outside of the top five. It's been, it's been ages. Yeah. When was the last time Georgia and Alabama weren't ranked in the top 25? My childhood. Yeah. When we say Georgia, now Georgia only stepped up in the last 10 to 15 years. Alabama, it's been more like 20. At this point, Saban era has, you know, now no more Nick Saban. Who knows? Will they be able to? Adam says Clemsey. Keep it up with Kaelyn DeBore. Yeah. Adam says Clemsey. Oh, that's right. Kaelyn DeBore. Kaelyn DeBore. Coach at Alabama. What a load of pressure that is replacing that guy. My buddy, when I was up in Seattle a few weeks ago, he went to the University of Washington. He loved Kaelyn DeBore. He understood why he left. He like, dude, he left for his dream. It would have been better. We won against Michigan. 100%. But he goes, he just did an interview. The week I went up there, like two days before I landed, he did an interview with Softy up there in Seattle. Did he? First time back on the airwaves since he just like up in the left, within a week of losing the national championship he goes, dude, it was spicy. Softy, get him? Oh, yeah. They tried to pull that. He doesn't want to really talk about this or want to talk about that. He's like, well, I'm not going to do it. Right. He's like, you're either going to come on and answer all the questions, or you're not going to answer any of them. That's fantastic. You're the longevity, though, of Alabama and Ohio State of being good. Sure. Like LSU, you know? Coacheau, but they dropped off for a while. Auburn had their moment in the sun and, you know, they kind of fell back a little bit. Clemson kind of fell back a little bit even after Davos had been so good and won two national championships, but Alabama and Ohio State pretty much top five every single year. Yeah. It's impressive, man. They're factories. So it's going to be fun, man. I love-- I just like that. I like putting college game day on. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. It'd be a nice distraction from the Padres, too. But I mean, what time would the Pods play tomorrow? Padres are a day game. 1 o'clock tomorrow. Yeah, I'll be locked into that and not college football. That, I do promise you. So you will be missing the middle day game, which is before your Notre Dame Irish play. They don't play until 4-3. You go double-header. Yeah. Padres right in the middle day. Perfect day. Fortunately, you have no kids or family to speak of. And knowing my wife, I'm sure she's planned something to give me that time to myself, knowing her and how important that is to me. I'm sure. Like, I'll be unfettered for six to seven hours in the middle of the day. No problem. Of course. Yeah. You'll miss Miami, Florida, which I don't think you're that. I don't care. Broken up about. Oh. [LAUGHTER] I don't-- [LAUGHTER] I probably won't be watching that. I probably won't be watching that one either. Now Adam has three kids, and he says he'll be camped in front of the TV all damn day tomorrow. Just watching it at home, or does he get out to the local Georgia bar where his fellow alums gather to watch the Bulldog's play? I think he's got to be at home, but he actually gets the chance to sit and watch the game. I like to think of Adam having a few too many pops during the game, getting a little mouthy about his team. Had who on the TV? Yeah, just yelling at the TV. Yeah. I can't even imagine Adam watching a high-stress game of his favorite team. We never watched a game with Adam. Have we not? Not that I didn't remember. I don't think so. He said he's going to be boozing at 9 a.m. You met like-- That's at Georgia. I never joined-- Georgia has a big college football game. I want to just sit-- Adam wasn't in front. Was he? I want to watch Adam watch the game. Yeah, watching Adam watch the game will be good. Were you ever in a frat? Yeah, but it didn't work out. [LAUGHTER] Great. Adam shocked. Great. Oh, great. You got kicked out of a frat for grades. Yeah. It kicked out of a whole school for grades. That I understand. Adam wasn't a fraternity. And A, what is it? What fraternity? He was A-E-P-I. I never even heard of that. A-E-P-I. That feels like too many letters. Special. Thought there was only three Greek letters in a fraternity. Which one was yours? As a sigma alpha epsilon. Yeah. It was a national-- What were they like known for? Is this at Texas Tech? What they were known for here. I wasn't good at seeing you stay. Yeah. [LAUGHTER] Think about the worst people you know. [LAUGHTER] It sounds right. Think about the worst people you know. [LAUGHTER] And then throw me at 18 right now. That's the one that had the major drug bust at seeing you stay with. Oh, yeah. And they got kicked off fraternity row. Yeah. Yeah. And you got kicked out of that fraternity. [LAUGHTER] Because everyone else were-- there were Einstein's all passing their classes with flying colors. Yeah. This is also like 1994 also. That's a SIG-APs have a reputation everywhere. SIG-APs? Or say-- S-A-E's. I was an S-A-E. Well-- Is there a difference? Is there a SIG-AP and a sigma alpha epsilon? Correct. Or they're totally different? Correct. Just put those letters in. Apparently, it's problems. I-- that's-- you want to talk about times in my life that I completely ignore. Those are them. That's the time of my life. It was just not good. This is one good. Wow. What was the typical day for you like? Sleep all day in my dorm room. And drink all night, every night, seven days a week. That's it. Party, I didn't go to class, I didn't take school seriously, and all it was horrible. I was a horrible, horrible person. When you turned out OK-- I did. I mean, it took a lot of-- Where's the cautionary tale here? It took a lot of work, though, man. A lot of work. A lot of looking in the mirror. Because those days were just-- I was a train wreck. And Paul, were you in a frat? No. No. I didn't need to pay for friends. Oh, boy. You would if you lived in Lubbock, Texas, in the middle of nowhere. Do you like girls? Because that's a good way to meet them. All right. It was awful. Well, this fryer is asking, what is a fraternity? That's a long question. That's a long answer. I don't want to talk about it ever again. All right, we've got Jordan. It's six years, by the way. Jordan Schusterman says for this family party. So, never once. Never once. Never once.
