So follow baseball as I'm Boring in the free Odyssey app, or wherever you get your podcasts. (upbeat music) - Shoot, yeah, we are. It's our number three of the G-Bagnation on 1053, the fan live at Shakertons in Arlington. Come on by, get you some of this Sagamore spirit rye whiskey. They are presenters here today in Arlington, and salute to everybody involved. Salute all the tollos that have made it through already. You're taking pictures. They're getting fired up for their 2024 G-Bagnation flag. Brought you by Whateberg. You can see images of that on social media. The funnel begin next Friday. Here's the chief with the Friday news down. - Okay, lots to get to here, including the individual with the most at stake this college football weekend, 877-881-1053. What is your must watch college football game for the weekend? You only get one. Is it Arch versus Louisiana Monroe? Is it OU's first SEC matchup? The revenge game for Josh Hypel in Tennessee, coming to town as a road favorite in a pretty large way. Or is it the, you got Utah, Oklahoma State, you got USC, Michigan got a handful of fun games here, so. - I just wanna watch Arch. - Just, I totally get that. I think plenty of people are gonna be like, "Dude, that's the appointment television, whether you're a Longhorn fan or not." Of course, it's Louisiana Monroe, so they're not necessarily the draw here, but everybody all lies on Arch. I totally get that. I totally get that. I can't wait to watch him for four quarters, you know? I mean, there's a lot of football to be played. I think you got people really excited about the future in the present of the Longhorns. But, you know, if you stumble a little bit in this kind of a matchup, then I think that would go the opposite way. So it's a very intriguing story and a guy with a last name that could absolutely put this state once again at the very center of the sport. Big searches in the building, that's a beautiful thing. Shaker, Tim Darlington, place to be right now. And I'll tell you what, no one has more on the line. Even more than Arch, even more than Quinn Ewers, even more than Josh Hypel, even more than Lincoln Riley, name that individual in college football. No one has more at stake than the K-State fan who is alleging that he is going to cram a five-layer burrito Taco Bell style, cram it up his cram hole. A pawn K-State losing to BYU this weekend. So that's a tough one to do that with, right? That's like how from your experience? No, I have no experience doing that. When you think about it, how's that going to work? How often have you thought about that? Don't until you just told us that story. Really? Yeah. Man, I've actually, you know, there's been a time or two, you start thinking about things. It's like a BP five-layer burrito. It just sounds pretty good, maybe. Well, when you start thinking about like the worst things you could do like the worst ways to use a five-layer burrito, I think this is basically at the top of the list. And on the heels of the FSPOO fan doing what he did and understanding the level of curse that he just placed on his own. Yeah, you want to be that guy. If you're going to be this guy that's stepping up to the plate, you better be serious about this. I mean, it is disgusting. The only thing I could see worse would be actually eating that five-layer burrito, chief. You'd rather eat it with your back hole in your mouth hole, that's incredible. Wow. If it's physically possible. You know, I don't know. Wolfchucks seem to have some experience in that department. He's got some conviction. No, there's no experience. I mean, it's just imagine. Think about it. That thing's going to-- I am, I have. That's not going to work. You need something with a little more substance. I mean, Eric, we did talk about this off air. Thank you. The cinnamon twist probably seemed like the better play. Yeah, if you're going to have to do anything from Taco Bell's menu item-- You need something that can hold together. I mean, feel free to touch that in too. Like, if you had to do something from Taco Bell, you know, like with this case, they got to do it. It seems to be going all in. I don't know. Crunchwrap Taco would work really well, I think. Crunchwrap Supreme would probably be pretty bad up there. Soft Taco. Soft Taco. You would go that over the old cinnamon twist. The twist doesn't sound like a very good plan. Now, you were a big fan of those rolled tacos. The takquitos? Yeah, they basically are expensive. Yeah, can you roll that up real tight for me? It would really just make it a tortilla. But the last thing you don't put any of this-- You don't want the tostano, you know. The Mexican pizza, we got a vote for the Mexican pizza. Wow, that's bold. That's-- I mean, that's five there. There's a lot going on there. Yeah. Man, it's very flexible. My goodness. So this guy-- I don't know, this is a bad idea from start to finish. Now, the dude who did this, though, hides behind the account that is Saint Bill Snyder. So it's a sort of an anonymous K-State fan. So I don't know, but this guy might have to delete his account or whatever. But just definitely something to monitor. Wait, wait, you don't have to do this. We've proven this. Like we haven't had the guy eat poo or eat head other stuff. So the Eagles fan did eat the horse stuff a couple of years back. And it worked out for him, because what did they end up doing? Yeah, they got back. They got back, but here's the deal. They got back. The FSU guy, he has now placed a-- their own three. That's fine. That's fine. No, that's not fine. Lose all the games. You go into a party that way. I'm not eating poo. You're going to lose all the games. Fine, that's going to happen. Get ready for a century. Yeah. Would you rather do the poo or the five-layer bit? Five-layer bit. Now, give me the damn poo. Oh, you guys didn't want to swim in poo river. Yeah. Now you want to eat it. Now you want to eat it. Well, wall check does. Hey, speaking of eating, I don't know if you've ever aware of this. There was a-- Let's make that very clear. We got some news-- Get you some of that butter, I'd just say. That would help. Here in the dump, we got some news culinary-wise. You know, the Thomas Brand of Bagels, they've now joined forces here, collision core style, with Fruit Loops. If you ever wanted a Fruit Loops and a Bagel at the same time-- Hello, the Thomas Brand of Bagels. What a time to be alive for you, because your dream has now become reality. I think we're doing too much with the Fruit Loops. What do you think about that one there? Is this a Fruit Loops-sized bagel? No, this is a-- It is a mini bagel. OK. So this is like probably, I would say, about 50% of a run-of-the-mill regulation bagel. So what you have is a bagel with chunks of Fruit Loops in it. Yeah, baked into it or whatever. Yeah, I like that. So I don't know, it's kind of-- Doing a lot with the old Fruit Loops. They're doing a lot, yeah. But I think it speaks to the versatility, the staying power. They continue to try and evolve. They're not comfortable with the status quo. Brodice, they're not just like, hey, we're Fruit Loops. We've made it, we can just rest on our laurels. They can, they've been around for 100 years. Let's take some-- let's take some risk. Oh, yeah, let's make a bagel out. On that on this, this is going to just cut the crap out of your mouth. I think coming out, it might hurt, too. Fruit Loops are one of those that you've got to let soak a little bit. Yeah. Just 90 seconds. They can be hard. Would you-- Hard. What would you put on this if you were going for it? Nothing. Just butter. Just butter. I was thinking like a new teller situation. Yeah, put a little-- Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Chocolate and fruity doesn't work for me. I get that. Yeah, OK. Wait, wait. Then the teller, you told us the story, all you've been doing is eating Nutella for the last week or two. My wife's been doing this thing where she toast the bread and then puts Nutella on it. And then she just walks in the living room and expects me not to want to have a bite. And then follow-up question, can you do one for me? Right. And I want to mean four. Wow. And we're just stacking them up now. So you mean like four slices of bread with Nutella on it? Yeah. Yeah, exact sourdough bread, butter, toast, Nutella. Two thumbs up. Why is the sourdough a factor in this thing? The sourd-- it's a damn good bread. She's making breakfast sandwiches with it. Oh, no, it's a great bread. But I wouldn't think of putting chocolate on it. Well, I'd go brioche for that myself. Thank you. OK. OK. Well, maybe we'll give that one a shot. If you want to have sourdough, have the sourdough, let him bread shame you over here. I don't think anybody's ever-- The hell sourdough shamed you before. That seems like a pretty top-tier bread. It's nothing better than the bread bowl. It's the sourdough with clam chowder in there. Thank you. And you love sourdough. I do, but-- But I would say that chocolate with the sourdough, I don't know. No, I can tell you try it. Yeah, well, Eric has like five of them a day. I can confirm, as much conviction as Walchuck has on the inability to put a five-layer burrito up is, I have much conviction. And I think it's going to just mush everywhere. I have the same type of conviction about how good that sourdough and Nutella situation is. Give it a shot. Bad news, sad news, don't mean to make us all emotional here. But Bobon is reportedly heading to Turkey to fish. What? His basketball career. Oh, dude. Brutal. All right, what are you thinking, Mavs? I just don't understand. I'm assuming you get players to have Bobon on your roster. No, Bobi. Yeah. All best, all best, buddy. I know. We've already signed our cheerleader guy that-- Then we signed Morris. Yeah. Morris. Oh, Marquis. Yeah. Do you prefer the toughness or the goofiness? I don't know. I mean, every locker room's different. I prefer the goofy. I miss my friend. I know. It's one of those deals where you didn't know when you were watching him that that was going to be the last time. Everywhere he went, he got like a best friend on the team and the entire fan base was like more Bobon content, please. He's just-- he's one of the goats. Also, basketball news-wise, yes, you will, and be got more money from the Sixers. So I guess he's there to stay for a little bit longer. Yeah, that was a bad thing. He's over $500 million for his career. I'm excited to see what type of new evolution he has to his injury creativity. Compose season time? You know, just three more years of understanding that we get to see him in a Philadelphia 76ers uniform. Just absolutely test the limits of what the body is capable of in terms of being injured. It was the facial paralysis this time around. Remember that one? Yeah. I was like, never seen this one before. My face doesn't work. Sorry, I can't perform when it matters. It's on me. I think Gout's in the future for him. There's no question. Gout would-- Gout would-- I think Gout's in the future for him. It's what? This year, it's Tyrese Maxie and Paul George with Embiid. I think Philadelphia fan might be like one of the sports fans that has a similar feeling of hopelessness to the Cowboys. Yeah, how's that? Whiskey's good. Shout out to that Rice Agamois. That's dominant. Hey, it seemed real dominant. Best basketball news of the day. The Grizzlies are going to be rocking their classic Vancouver Grizzlies throwbacks. Oh, hell yes. On multiple occasions next year. Yeah, it's teal. This is one of the coolest. It's a crazy logo. You used to have a hat of it, and then I don't know what happened to it. Yeah. I lost somewhere, but-- Those Memphis Grizzlies jerseys, and then the purple Toronto Raptors. And the retiring Vince Carter's number, they need to bring that back for that night. Hey, listen, I'm not going to push back on that. I think that's a great idea. I am looking forward to that. And then, of course, you have the news about-- What are you bitching about now? Nothing, man. I just said, oh, wow. OK, thank God. I thought another bad take was coming out of your mouth. Not really. If you missed it, much like we say goodbye to Bobon, we also wave goodbye to the Wojbom this week as well, because he decides to hang out. One final one. You know what? Might be the top 10-less today. Oh, is that right? Yeah, maybe. Top 10 Wojboms. I'm looking forward to that, Wojchuck, on a football Friday Live from Chicago. Wow, you actually did some work on this stuff. Mixing it in. Yeah, that's going to be a good idea. Hey, I think everybody's talking about Shoms, and there's no question bidding war. I mean, his bag just went up. But I think the ESPN winner here is going to be Wendy, our guy, Windhorse. He gets to now step up to the forefront. Because Wojch, he's had to not report on things over time Windhorse has in order to make sure that Wojch is still feeling like he's the guy, and you can't have a contradictory sort of report. If Wojch has something but you have something a little bit different, sorry, Wendy, you're going to have to scale back on that one. So I think this is big for Wendy. Congrats to him. There's your dump. Thank you. There he is. Eric Chia, follow a Friday news dump. As he mentioned, we're in Arlington. It's brought to you by Sagamore spirit, Ryan Whiskey. Then Wojchuck's top 10 is coming up next, buddy. What do you got? Yeah, we've got the best trash sharker in the NFL right now. And then the top 10 Wojchboms.

Here's Wollchug with his top 10. Zach with an H. You're woolly bully. Thank you very much. Top 10 Wojiboms in honor of the great Adrian Wojnorowski retiring from the Wojibombing. He's not going to be Wojibombing us. Unless it's like it gets a player that he's recruited for St. Bonaventure. And then he'll call us again. He was like, I got enough money. I just want to go work for my college. Say, I'm out of here, man, but-- I love it. I love the move. I think it's great. More people should do this. All these people that have made enough money to just do whatever they want now. And they keep doing the stressful thing. I'm like, yeah. What are we doing? It's my identity. Yeah. OK. Well, who knows what I-- I can't wait to ask Brodas that question in the post game. What is this team's identity? I know that's one of his favorites. Well, hey, I got that for the pregame. What the hell? Well, you better start putting in more effort to think about your own damn original. What's in magic, OK? Geez, my god. But from-- Got Tom or Noldian on this week who'll make you cry. Oh, Tom's a great guest, though. And I can't wait to listen to that. I hope I don't call him Andrew. You won't, but you might call him or Noldie. Here is Cam Taylor Brent, who ended up having one of the great calls last week where he was absolutely just being totally disrespectful to his aviary worthy, then had maybe the interception of the decade what he had, that one-handed interception snag. Nobody knew who he was. Now everyone is so confident. He's confident in the end this week. He's going up against the commandos. And this is what he had to say about that offense. Yeah, it could pose. They don't make a new one. So they keep it really simple for him. Nice college offense on the Kingsbury, the OC. So now a little more guys around here and there. But just keep it real simple for him. I heard his crowd percentage is very high, but he's on a very short route. You know, some intermediate stuff. Sweet though. Nice college offense, Kingsbury the OC. That's awesome, dude. That's a great line. It's a bar, and now he's earned our confidence. After what he did last week, calling his shot with Xavier Worthy felt like that was bulletin board material. Mahomes, Andy Reed, they're going to dial it up and make this guy have four quarters of a living hell with the speedster worthy. That didn't happen. And then what happened? Walcho's giving him the interception of the decade. And so this is a guy who clearly rises to the occasion. This is what gets him going, broadest when he's doing these survivor challenges. And he flips that mode, where even though he's disgusted or in huge pain, he just talks s to the little nitro gummy bear. And that's how it's to us. I mean, honestly, I hit him in the freaking face. Well, he was doing the same thing to the the the margarine or what hits you in the freaking face, Brian. But then broadest shows up and dominates whatever his task is. And it sounds like this guy's the same way. And he's calling it like it is with the Kingsbury offense. That's why Jayden Daniels doesn't stand a chance. Yeah, I think you're you're locked. I'm getting more and more nervous by the second when it comes to Brian and I's picking the 49ers. No George Kittle. George Kittle has officially been ruled out. What about Debo? No Debo. No Debo. No George. No Christian McCaffrey, but Trent Williams. Trent Williams is in. Brock Purdy. Purdy's in. Iyuk's in. Jordan Mason's in. Who Fung is back? Fung is back. See, there you go. San Francisco doesn't lose two in a row. Yeah, and I mean, he's tenant. The other they did, they lost three in a row last year, actually. I'm not this year, they're not. But there are plenty. It's a Rams team that is-- And we're banged up to them. Yes, that's what I'm banking on. Like that offensive line is banged up and battered. There are two starting receivers are out. I'm just hopeful that the less of the injured is San Francisco here, but I am very nervous about this, that I could be having to do, that payoff of eating a stick of butter. God knows what I'm going to have to torture myself with. Eric, we got a tweet. What is the name of the fancy Italian joint y'all mentioned from time to time on the radio? And I can't think, like, what is the fancy-- What? I went out there in Carrollton or something. Magiano's fancy Italian spot. It's a nice place. It's a nice place. It's not fancy. Right? I can't think of a fancy Italian joint we really mention. I can't even see one. Gosh. Like Kenny's Italian we mentioned a few times. All of them are good food. All of them are good food. No, don't speak of all of the garden. Why? Eric gets really offended. He lashes out. I mean, other than the bottomless breadsticks and the salad, what are we talking about? We're talking about swinging and missing. I don't know, man. Those breadsticks. I could live on those breadsticks. Campieses? Campieses is really good. Campieses is definitely the one that gets talked about. The one over on, yeah, Mockingburg. That's an OG. Cavinos and Dow, and Plano is a staple that I grew up going to right around the corner from the house. I don't know. We need to workshop this, Eric. I'm not sure what the fancy Italian place is. What do you think about the frozen pans of lasagna? Is that just horrible? Stofers? Yeah, I couldn't even tell you if I've ever even had one of those to be honest with you. Nice. I really don't think I do. Because I love them. Yeah. [LAUGHTER] I believe it. When you eat your spaghettios, I believe you're heavier now. That's what I don't do. You know what? Don't you dare take shots at Chef Boy RD. I'm sorry. OK? The raviolis are actually not bad. Right? They're pretty solid. He's getting it done. Not bad. Like those were made with love. All right, let's get to the top 10 Wojibom, shall we? 8, 7, 7, 8, 8, 1, 1, 5, 3. What's the biggest Wojibom you'll remember? We start off with your honorable mentions just looking in here. The Milwaukee Bucks have decided to boycott game 5. Sources tell you as P.N. Boycott game 5. I'm trying to remember what-- I think that was in the bubble. Oh, OK. That was-- I think that was a George Floyd. Oh, oh, wow. During all that, we also have Oklahoma City is trading all star-- excuse me-- Paul George to the Clippers for a record-setting collection of draft choices, which really was until Rudy Gobert got traded, and then it was a record-setting. I mean, Danny Ainge, he is just fleecing everybody. Yeah. If Philadelphia doesn't work with their trust the process, and then OKC doesn't work, boy, that's tough. At least the maps are going to work for their team tank. 58,000 retweets. The Cleveland Cavaliers have acquired Donovan Mitchell in a trade. Yeah. These are all recent Wojibom's. I feel like you've got to go back a good 15 years to get the ones where it was like, holy crap, who's Woj, and how does he know this? When he was working for the-- The Vahoo? The vertical or whatever? Yeah, Yahoo. That's the thing. They're not going to be on here, because he was-- it's all about the interactions. OK. Oh, it's like which ones took off the most viral-- Oh, yes. And what were the biggest Wojibom's? Well, then number one has to be the sources tell ESPN that Chris Paul repeatedly made fun of James Harden for having man boobs during practices. I don't know the last two seasons. I don't know that that one made the list. That has to be number one. But that's hilarious. The other one will mention is we got free agent forward, Kawhi Leonard, his and forward runner-ups, that he's planning to sign with the Clippers. That was back in 2019. That got 102.4,000 likes in 61,000 retweets from Woj. You think the Clippers regret that? Yes. Yeah. How could you not? Very good analysis. A lot of very-- Brooklyn is making a clean sweep tonight. Brooklyn will sign KD, Kyrie, and DeAndre Jordan, sources tell ESPN. That is your final on-roll mention. Just something outside looking in June 30, 2019. 130.6,000 likes, 61,000 retweets. Oh, I can't even remember how many games they played together. But it was so few and far between. It was a handful. Yeah. I mean, it was not many. It was just not many. There's been so many of those in the NBA now. Or these trades just-- I mean, heck, what about the-- what about when Brooklyn decided to get the Boston Celtics? Paul Pearson kept the guard net when they were at the end. Last legs. Like, just some dumb moves, man. Oh, man. OK, number 10. Houston has agreed to trade Russell Westbrook to Washington for John Wall in a first-round pick. December 2, 2020, 164,000 likes, 61,000-- Or 76,000 retweets for Loge. Yeah, dude, I just feel bad for anybody that's had the unfortunate reality of acquiring Russell Westbrook post MVP. I just think it's a losing proposition. Number 9, OKC has agreed to trade Russell Westbrook to the Rockets through Chris Paul, first-round picks in 2024 and 2026. Pick swaps in 2021 and 2025. Wow, I think that's going to pay off for him. I think that sounds like a good deal. Great value. If they could go back in time, they needed to trade Westbrook to the Rockets when they moved James Harden. Yeah, they should have. Number-- That would have been amazing or-- Build-around Katie, and Harden in Abaca. Yeah, that's what they should have done. That's Serge Abaca right there. Very, very impressive. They had the Girth and Tonnage. Number 8, the Trail Blazers are trading guard Damian Lillard to the Bucks. That ended up getting 180 likes in 88,000 retweets. And that's been a stinker, man. That is going to be a huge topic to start the season coming up here, is that going to, in any way, look like what they thought it would look like, what they hoped it would look like. But that was an ultimate backfire situation, and I'm interested to see how-- I mean, the honest stuff, dude, how much more time does he have on his contract? Not much. Yeah, and hurt last year, it'll be interesting if they can stay healthy, like how much better they can do. But it's clear that Drew Holliday is going to help you win a championship more than Damian Lillard. So on article, actually, that the NBA is in deep, deep fear. Giannis leaves Milwaukee. Happens to join your Dallas Mavericks. Wow. Now, financially, I don't know how that works. But there are some people inside the NBA that are nervous that that could happen. Does that happen when Kyrie's contract is up and maybe? Yeah, so the deal, for Giannis right now, goes through the 20, 27, 20, 28 season. But it's a player option. So technically, before that 20, 27 season, he could opt out if he wanted to. But he would be leaving $62 million season. It's a lot of money. Number seven, Jazz Sordanoven Mitchell has tested positive for the coronavirus. League sources tell ESPN. Oh, wow. Jazz players privately say the Rodrigo Bear had been careless in the locker room touching other players in their belongings. Now, a jazz teammate has tested positive. That was whoa. Number seven, Wojibam. Go Bears is so-- Honestly, it feels like a different time, different world, like that we went through that. Totally, dude. We were in surprise that night. Weren't we, Brian? We were. Eric and I were on air. We're watching Nuggets maps. And we're getting Chris Arnold calling us from the AAAC that they have canceled the game. They're canceling the NBA season. CA introduced us to the term social distancing at night. He was like, you're going to hear this a lot. Social distancing. Social distancing. Yeah, we were gathered, I think, in Jared's room. Yeah, it's me, Jared. Yeah, we had that-- For one of those freaking eyes? We were going to watch the-- yeah, we were going to watch the maps game and have a freak off. And baby oiling. Damn. And then you realize you had coronavirus. And you're like, I guess this is our last opportunity. Yeah, that is. Get your freak off. They're about to take this away from us, boys. Number six, the nets are trading hardened to the Sixers for Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, and Andre Drummond, and two first round picks. Top five, whoa, which bombs? Number five, this one, RIP. This is hard to read. Kobe Bryant was on his way to a travel basketball game with his daughter, Gianna, when the helicopter crashed. Those aboard the helicopter also included another player and parent. That was number five. Into the pimp up, we go for the Pelicans have agreed to a deal to trade Anthony Davis to the Lakers. By the way, I saw Ingram heart in three first rounders. I saw that they have some girl dad, Kobe, fours now. I was thinking about picking them up. That'd be my first pair of Kobe's, but I thought that would be appropriate. Top three, whoa, which bombs? Three is LeBron has agreed to a four-year, $154 million deal with the Lakers. Two, Kobe is among those dead in a helicopter crash outside. No way, dude. You didn't have to do it twice. Seriously. Yeah. But number one-- He's like Anchorman, like whatever the list says he reads. Biggest, biggest roach bomb of all time. The NBA has suspended the season. March 11, 2020 at 8.31 PM, 332.3,000 likes, and 203,000 retweets. Wow. Thank you, Oge. Thank you, Oge.

And it is brought to you by Reliant Air Conditioning, gimmick-free AC Repair and Replacement. Here's Brian. Thank you very much, General. Thank you, Reliant. Eric, is it too much to ask you right now to stand up and sing? No, I mean, it would not be if that's what you guys want right now. I would like Krusty's Corner. I'm making a request. I need 90 seconds of the National Anthem before I start Krusty's Corner here. We just need to make a public servants announcement that we will be having the National Anthem. You want to wait? You want to wait to make the announcement on it? Maybe like what you drinking and what you thinking? OK, I'll wait. You guys make the call, man. I'm like, I'll wait. I'm piano bar style today, bro. Hey, this is what we'll do. What you're drinking and what you're thinking. You got about 30 minutes to get your ass out here. Shakertons in Arlington. That's good. I'd like to hear it to you if I'll do the National Anthem live in person tolows. Please don't let me down. We need you. I need you. Shakertons in Arlington. We'll have Eric Niddell, 520, Chief 530. All right, I just-- I was-- I'm glad we-- Yeah, don't make me sing while Niddell's on the line. That would be fun. Well, Niddell is on the line. Eric Chiafalo will sing. [LAUGHTER] Damn music critic. No. That's pretty good. No, he isn't music guy. It has made sense for any-- and that's a guy who's heard many a National Anthem. I mean, let's be honest. He could actually see if I'm in the pantheon of some of the greats. I think he will be. I have confidence-- some of the greats. Hey, man. You never know if greatness is in store. What's your confidence level right now? Somewhere between Carl Lewis and Roseanne Barr? Yeah. I would say somewhere between what you say 0.6 and 0.06 and 0.08. I called you out because you were taking a simpier whiskey. Yeah. And I thought maybe it'd be a good opportunity, but I like what Wolchuck did by calling out the tollows, getting them out here, like to witness this. Yeah, give me a student section, man. Yeah, yeah. We're going to have this student section out here now, surely. All right. Let's talk about who's going to officiate your game this week. And it is going to be Ron Torbert is your official for this game. Ron. Ron. Now, if you guys watched the game that was played in Brazil, yeah, Ron Torbert was the official that night. Great. You get a flag. You get a flag. You get you slipped because we don't know how to prepare football field. You get a flag. I remember watching that game. Yeah, Ron Torbert, he called your week one match up in Brazil. He got week two off, so he is not called a game. This will be his first game back since his game there in Brazil. What I want to point out, just a couple of things about Ron Torbert through the years. No crew has called more penalties on offensive linemen than these guys. OK, so who's on red alert then for the Cowboys? Well, both teams are struggling with holding calls right now. Just across the board. Yeah. So usually, Ron's kind of not favors the home team here. He's usually a friendly visitor guy by Tyler Smith. Yeah. Well, Guyton. Guyton. He Guyton could be on call here. Hey, so let's do the maker a point of attack. Scoon maker, man. I'll tell you what, that guy was supposed to be a blocker. And every time I turn around, he's three yards in the back. You know, that guy had a pretty good game. I don't want to hear him. No, no, he had a good game. Hey, he caught the ball nicely. It's just funny that he was supposed to be the blocking tight end. It's funny. I don't find it funny. I'm just saying, though, you asked me who. Both teams have kind of up there on the holding calls already this year. I'm sorry that somebody tried to tell you Scoon maker was good. Yeah. Yeah. That was me. I tried to give you a Bobby. Yeah, Bob was a skinny guy. He just counts on the tight ends, my god. The Cowboys are-- Capen for Will. Cowboys, I'm always capen for Will. No, and Will McLeigh, I trust. You're a Will guy, you know, and you should be. He's done a great job. Absolutely. I love you, Will. Thank you for everything you do, Will McLeigh, I trust. Yeah. The Cowboys are 3 and 5 in the Dak era with Ron Torver as your official, 3 and 5. That's under 500, bro. I mean, honestly, like, these nuggets make a difference. Like, we saw it last week. That dude, they called the game, does not let the home team win. Yeah. I mean, there were some crap calls in that game. Sean Smith. Sean Smith. Go believe yourself, Sean Smith. Ravens are 3 and 3 on it. Reduces your win probability, too, as if Dak had thrown 40 passes in the game. That's basically what you're looking at with. I mean, if they hadn't gotten their ass kicked so bad and they had a chance, and I wouldn't-- Do you even blame the officials? I would have probably been like, this game was very poorly officiated. The problem was, they lost so damn bad that the officiating issues didn't even matter. All right. I told you the Ravens are 3 and 3 with this guy. So they're kind of waiting there. They don't love seeing him either, though. No, they don't. But better than us. Better than us. All right, just last year, just to give you an idea. Small sample size from this year. So kind of go back and look at last year and maybe with the crew dead. Offensive holding, 45 of them. That's his number one call. Defensive holding, they had 14. What does that tell you? 31. 31 less calls. Offensive holding, defensive holding. How about that? Defensive pass interference, he had 12 face masks, which is kind of a-- should be pretty simple to see, but-- Did you see it last week? Did you see it last week? Yeah. Roughing the passer, I always like to point this one out. He had six last year and delay a game five. He kind of comes from the school of letting you play a little bit. He's one of these guys. But we saw in week one, his history says, we'll let you play. But week one was far from let you play. I think we want to tight whistle as the Morfinesse team, don't we? Until the Cowboys become a physical team, we don't want refs that let them play. Because you don't get big boy. I think you're going to get big boy. All right, I got some questions for my guys. Got some questions here. Bring them. Dawson. Sir. At the end of this game, Dak Prescott will have outplayed Lamar Jackson. I think that's false. And although our guests back there at the 340, Jeff, covering Ravens, really painted a picture of despair for this Ravens defense. So I'm a flip flop in a positive way. Dackle out playing, Brian. We'll chuck. At the end of this game, you and I'll be doing the post game show. And you'll be talking about Dak. We'll have outplayed Lamar Jackson. I think Dak will have outplayed him as a passer. I think that the Cowboys will be able to hit some big chunk plays this week. But I think overall what will make the difference in this football game is Lamar's legs. And therefore overall, just entirety at the quarterback position. Lamar Jackson will have played the better game. Chief, then. Yeah, I'm in agreement there with Waltchuck. I do think the Dak to CD lamb connection should be pretty on point when you've seen what Mahomes and Rishi rice did together in week one. And then you see what Gardner Minshu and Devontay Adams were able to do together in week two. But ultimately, I think the defense for the Cowboys will let them down in a way that has Lamar Jackson running on them and ultimately being the victorious quarterback. I think we're judging the Ravens defense in games where they had to think about the run game. This Cowboys run game is so pathetic. It doesn't matter if your guys can cover or not, because a lot of it's going to be double teams. And you really don't have to double team anybody but CD lamb. Yeah, like, you know, it's a tough spot to be in right now to try to generate some positivity about where the Cowboys offense is. Willie, yeah, we're talking about the Cowboys running game. Give me the final rushing totals for them. I think is a team they run for 98 yards. On how many attempts? 20. Wow, that's a good day. That's a good day. That's probably-- I think I would take that right now. Heck, yeah, I would. 20 rushes, 92 yards, 98. 98 yards. I'll go 20 rushes, 50 yards. How about you, Chief? 20 rushes. I'd probably go about 60 to 65. Do you think Dallas is going to even try and run the ball? I think they will because they tried to start the game last week. Sure. And so I think they will at least come out trying again and they keep saying the thing where they haven't been able to really work it. I think they want to and I think they know how important it is to get the run game going with the way that defenses are playing them. So I do think they will attempt, but if Baltimore is going to punch you in the mouth in the first quarter, then they'll get away from it. But I absolutely expect that first quarter to be almost like, really, we're going to run it again on first and 10. This is Dax Call more than Shoddy's or Mike's? Actually, yeah, it seems like, yeah. Dax Prescott, I think, has been running the offense since the by-weight. True. I have last year. How about this with Dawson for the final one? Yeah. In the battle of the kickers, the Cowboys have the better one. Oh, yeah. Soccer man has done it. He has taken over for Tucker as the best kicker in the league. The accuracy, the distance. We've never seen anything like him. There's never been a better kicker than Brandon Aubrey. Willie, yeah, he's about to be in the Hall of Fame because he's going to kick this weekend a 72-yard field goal. Wow. Chief, how about you? In the battle of the kickers, the Cowboys have the better one. Yeah, I think that's one of the things as you're starting to talk about reasons for optimism in this game. The Ravens are a team that, for the last maybe decade, have had that weapon in their back pocket that is Justin Tucker. And so if the Cowboys can manage to keep this a close one, I like their chances more with the kicking situation. Justin Tucker, he's dead leg down. He doesn't have the range. He just doesn't have it. I think he saw his clutch factor, but that's got to be a 45-in-in shot. Whereas with Aubrey, there's not a spot on the field or a time in the game where you're questioning him. I think it's a no-douter. Aubrey, the baton, has been passed. Could you guys see a 60-yard field goal for the win? 100%, yeah. Yeah, I mean, I could see this if the Cowboys do win. Well, if the Cowboys, they scrape by with a game-winning type. But they're going to have to be able to keep pace on offense. So they're going to have to score offensively. I could see this being a close game. I mean, we actually saw this in Baltimore. If you remember the Des Bryant game, right? When he was a Raven. Onside kick-- no, no, no, no. As a Cowboys, it came down to an onside kick. It was very, very close. Cowboys narrowly lost that game. I could see a replica of that at AT&T Stadium. Sure. And maybe it does come down to Brandon Aubrey's leg. I think you need the takeaways. If you talk about a Cowboys win, take away in field goal range. Get you to 18 points. Thank you, gentlemen. Appreciate you. Thank you, Brian. Crusty's corner, most afternoons, 340. Brought you by Reliant Air Conditioning. The 5 o'clock hour is coming up next. 5.30, Chief's going to do his bet payoff.
