The fan Brian took down the little nitro gummy bear like it was nothing. It was really unbelievable. And you know, now we stand in the wake of that and ready to head into a tremendous weekend of sports. Cowboy St. Sunday at noon here on the fan pregame at nine. Wisconsin Bama tomorrow. College football here on the fan at 11. And of course tonight you have Jacob de Grum's return. - I think Will Chambers is on tomorrow for an hour by himself. - Okay. - So I'll tweet, I think he asked me to come on and talk a little bit. So if you wanna, I'll be on there talking, trying to help him out a little bit. - The Will Chambers Show featuring Will Chambers. - Yeah, but you never know how that little nitro is gonna wake you up in the morning. You might be a late scratch. - I don't, I'm just gonna, just gonna keep the right mindset about that thing Eric. - Yeah, the second you doubt him, he's gonna make sure he proves you wrong. - Yeah. - He's got that about him. He's got that FU about him. - That's what makes the great ones great. - Salute to Beyblofenberger, current G bag of the day champion, he tweeted just a few minutes ago, he's honored to be on the call for Highland Park versus Jesuit with the great Tom Walsh. Nice to finally get to work with the True Pro. - He wrote, "Tagged Brad." (laughing) - Tom Walsh. - That would be the, I believe that's the Jesuit broadcast there. - Yeah. - So you'll be the Jesuit broadcast. - Tom Walsh, yeah. - That's why he's a good one. - He's a good one. - Right there as well. Jesuit and Highland Park do not like each other. - Yeah, is this a, is this a Ranger Stadium? I wonder, or Gary Pasquay Field Pasquay? - I don't think it's an Islander. I think it probably is a Jesuit Stadium. - Boy, that my old neighborhood would be rocking. - Looks like they're. - I live right over there by there. That was my neighborhood, yeah. - Gerald J. Ford Stadium. Oh, look at the place I get at next to you. - Wow, there we go. - There we go. - All right, there we go. - Right there it is. - I had a really bad experience going to High School game there. That was like the worst stadium I've ever been to to call High School game. I think that was gonna get in. - Yeah, it was, they wouldn't let me park anywhere. I'm like, I'm here to call the game. They didn't care. I mean, I ended up parking through the Madeline and walking over there. I really can't stand this thing. - I'll tell you, Stadium, I enjoyed was down in Waco. - Yeah, playing, yeah, did a couple of playoff games. - Drive by it all the time going to Austin. - Allen Stadium was good to call it. - Oh, Allen Stadium's gorgeous. - Yeah, that's stunning. And I haven't been to McKinney ISD yet, but that also looks beautiful. - Yeah, I didn't get a chance to do the new McKinney Stadium. I did the old one. I did the old one too. - Right. - Yeah. - They didn't field where the Bell and Trinity playing was not a bad one. - Nice stadium. - Yeah, absolutely. - Paul and Melissa's got a gorgeous new stadium. - I mean, I thought CH Galaxy getting's pretty good. - Yeah. - There's a lot of good High School stadiums. - But we're talking about it. - Yeah, but it was a lot of fun. - Yeah. - All right, it's time now to get the baseballs. No, that's good. I mean, I like, it's amazing. - It's a Friday night. - You can be cruising around out in the middle of nowhere and see a great football stadium. - I'll tell you what, it was a blast working with Teddy Emerick though. I mean, Teddy Emerick is such a pro. How about this one night we were doing a game and the next night he was doing a game in Penn State. He was like doing the Ohio State game. - What a savage. - Like he, and he treated both game. I mean, like, you could figure like, man, I gotta worry about this Ohio State Penn State. - Yeah, he treated that game like the High School game. - I believe in it. - He was doing that the night before. - He cared crazy about that. - He did, he was, but you're right. I mean, I remember doing a game at Royce City like six to eight years ago. - Yes. - And that stayed in the exact stadium I was thinking about. - Yup, it's like, there was nothing else going on for Royce City, but that stadium was beautiful. - We head out there a lot 'cause the Sunnyvale School District plays a lot of those, you know, smaller towns out east of DFW. Time now to go around the bases, brought to you by Uber Eats. - Thank you very much. You got a lot of baseball content to get to.

So go to odyssey.com/105-3-the-fan/contests for your chance to win. Let's talk some baseball, shall we, around the bases brought to you by Uber Eats? Chris Young, thank God that deal's done. We've been talking about it for a while. He signs a multi-year extension to stay with the Texas Rangers, the reigning world champions. And I was, I was terrified that if it didn't get done, this thing could completely fall apart. I was confident it would. There's no reason not to, but it just would have been that thing where if it did, then yes, ownership 100% is fat and happy with one championship and they're going super cheap from here on out. - Yeah, you know, and in baseball, the GM is oftentimes more important than the manager. You know, this is a huge position in the game. You have to have an insane acumen for all kinds of different things. And it was not a coincidence that he took over and shortly thereafter you won a World Series. He is a winner. You could not afford to lose this guy. - I'd have gone out there in protest. I think if they didn't sign them, I'd be out there like picketing and stuff like that. I would be a problem, I think. - It would have been, yeah. It would have been a big time issue. And come on, Rocker, that was super exciting what he did last night. Now we got Jacob D'Grom the night. Should we do another over under K's bet? - Oh, I was kind of hoping that Dawson would show up with ribs on Monday if he could. - I'll do it. - He said he might. - I'll do it. - I don't want to put any pressure on him though, but I'm gonna put it on my weekend to-do list. - Thanks, bro. - Yeah. - Me and Wolfchuck will be talking about it as we walk across the field at six o'clock on. - That's 18 and 10 a day. It's so nice to be done at six. We can go home and watch Sunday night football. - We go watch Sunday night football. - I gotta get the car detailed. I gotta dig up some dead trees in my front yard. I gotta watch the Cowboys lose to the Saints and make three racks of ribs. - If you could just bring a couple, I'll take a couple. - You salvaged it with the three racks of ribs, but I wanted to punch you for the thing you said before. Hope that does not happen. - I thought we needed a loan from this. - I thought we were on the same page here, Wolfchuck. - No, we are. You're doing your part. - I know exactly what you're doing. You did this last week, worked out beautifully. So I'm happy actually that you're doing this. - Thank you very much for your service. - DeGrom over under for punch outs tonight. Six and a half. - Oh, is it six and a half? - Wow, is that what the line is? - Yes, now the under is the favorite, slight favorite at minus one 20 and the over at minus one oh five. - Why do any pitches or something, six pitches? - I think he's gonna have to go over, right? 'Cause after what we saw last night with the way the Mariners just swing and miss it. - Exactly like this line up, that's the thing. - Gotta go over on that, right? - I thought that maybe that, I thought I'd get to scoop on what their vision is for him here tonight. - I thought Rocker was gonna get in a little trouble. I thought he was gonna get in a little trouble and then we're gonna pull it. - Sure, well that's it. - That's why I was betting on. - He pitched his way out of it though. - That was worth it. That was a, I was lost, I was okay taking, you know? Seriously. - I just, he's gonna have three starts. I just wanted to be clean in and out, you know? No, oh my elbow, my wrist, a little shoulder, you know? Just get me to freakin' October with none of that going on. - Well, see why, what are we doing? - Are we going over? - I'm going over. - I'm gonna go over. - I'm going over. - I'll go over. - Why not, the way they swing and miss, sure. - Right, we're all over. - Yeah. - Chris Young's now headed to Japan. He's gonna scout pitching phenom Roki Sasaki, who is going to start Sunday. He's got a 202 ERA and 392 in two-thirds and he's over five professional seasons there in Japan. So this might be who the Rangers are turning their sights on. I mean, we saw this happen, of course, with you Darvish. They weren't able to land to show Hayo Tani, but maybe this guy ends up being one of the next Japanese pitching phenomps. - Spell the last name for me, please. - Sasaki, S-A-S-A-K-I. - A-K-I, I'm about to get a scout report on the sketch. - So last year we had 25-year-old Yoshinobo Yamamoto, who signed with the Dodgers, 325 and a half million dollars is a true free agent. So Sasaki, I think he's gotta wait till he's 25. I believe that's the rules there. - How old is he now? - He's under the age of, I think he's, I think he's year away, I think he's 24 years old. So that's why C-Y's getting a jump start. Go out there, you scout him. - 24-note 2001, so yeah, 23. - 23, okay. So we're about a year away. - He's gonna be 24. - I listen to the music. - He's turning 24 soon? - No, I'm sorry, he's turning 23 soon. - Oh, damn it, so we're two years away? - Yeah. - Okay, well either way, we're laying the groundwork here for a couple years down the line. - And you probably need to clear payroll before you can go after. - Yeah, and you're laying the foundation like hey, we're out here, we're interested, we're here guys. - This is why you love C-Y, man. Hungry. - Hungry, dogs hunt best, and that dude is-- - Yeah, he ain't going through this again. - No, no, he's putting the time in. This is like what the college coaches have to do. They gotta holler at you years before it's even time. Just to let you know, hey, I got my own-- - Like he's freshman in high school. - I like you, yeah, exactly. - And now at his peak, they're saying Paul Skeeds territory for this dude, in terms of pure stuff, but not in terms of command for Sasaki, yeah. - Just gas? - Yeah. The quote from fan graphs Aaron Lagenhagen is even if there are some initial struggles, Gary suffers a severe injury early in his MLB career, he requires Sasaki and the Majors will probably be one of the nastiest handful of pitchers in the league. So he's a guy that I guess he's already had. He came back from an injury, didn't see any dip in his velocity, and they think this dude's going to be the next phenom. So see why he's out there scouting him up for us. Hopefully this could maybe be a Texas Ranger in a couple of years. This story was crazy, I saw this yesterday. - Love sticks. - Minnesota Twins released minor league catcher, Derek Bender, after he was on a-- - Oh, yeah, I saw that. - He was on a bender. He told opposing hitters the types of pitches that were coming to the plate during it bats in the game last week that eliminated his team from playoff contention. - This is South Park, a little league situation. You just wanted to go home. - Listen to us, yeah. - Holy crypto, he's like, I don't want to continue playing. Here's what's coming. He was a sixth round pick at a coastal Carolina this past July, and he was playing for the Fort Myers Mighty Muscles, the twin single affiliate in the second game of the double header. - It was hot and he was tired. - I guess so, he's in the catcher's gear. He says, believe this, he tells multiple hitters for the Lakeland Flying Tigers, a Detroit farm team, the specific pitches being thrown by starters, Ross Dunn, according to sources. Lakeland scores four runs in the second inning alone wins the game six, nothing. - I wonder if Ross Dunn was doing something with his gal. I don't know. I'd be like, you know, hey man, Ross and my gal might have hooked up. - So why would you give him the pitches though? - Make Ross look bad. - But you're making him look good, aren't you? - No, he's getting rocked in the-- - No, you're talking about the pitcher or the pitcher. - Well, he's got some get back on the pitcher here. - Yeah, like pitcher dude's like done me wrong. Hey, he's gonna throw you. - I could see it, I wouldn't, you know, these young guys are full of testosterone and jealousy. You know, they do some really regrettable stuff in the world of relationships. But I think teammates had said he just wanted the season to be over. - Yes, that's what I saw as well. - Oh, okay. - He wanted to go, he was just sick of playing minor league baseball. - The catching gear, it gets hot down there in Florida. - Yeah, I can understand. - Well, now I mean, he's possibly ruined his damn career. I mean, he was a six round pick, he gets cut. - He'll be a great manager, won't he? - He doesn't like baseball, this is good for him. - Maybe the Astros will sign it, or the Angels. The Angels love guys who don't like baseball. Shout out to Anthony, you're end down for that. - I think a lot of guys, they get out of college and you show up in that minor league system and you're like, I'm not riding this bus for the next eight years. Well, they keep me stringed along. - Crash Dave's. - So they can have the framework for their really talented people to come up here and have games to play in. I'm not the one, dude, I'm out of here. It's time to go be a salesman with dad or something. - That's unbelievable. - Pharmacist. - And then we-- - That's how you know if you really love the game or not. - Yeah. - For the love of the game. - But to see why, Davey. - To go about it that way is pretty amazing. - It was a hilarious story, I got the update. I'm like, what the hell did this guy do? - That's the real one. - That's crashing out. - That is crashing out. - Yeah, but that's just like, I don't know. - Bleephole of the week, or? - I don't know. - He's probably bleephole. - Man, that's gonna be a slider. (laughing) - Slider of the slider. - Would you guys ever want them on your team? Like if the Rangers had a big need for catcher? - No, I think they did just draft a couple of them. - They did, they drafted more in the first round. - Yeah. - Totally out on them. - Yeah, I'm out on this dude. - Can't win with them. - Yeah, you don't love them. - The game get out of here. You're not built to be a Ranger. Rangers have a very specific type of player they're looking for. - What player? - They want Grinders. - Can you guys think of a player that really didn't love the game that was a good player? - Uh, I have to say-- - There's probably so many that are that we don't even know. - Is there somebody in your history of sport, you're thinking, this guy really didn't love the game? - Yokech. Yokech doesn't care. - That's a good call. - He's amazing. - Good call. - You think Yokech wins the championship and all he's worried about is let me get home and go to my horses. - That's a good point. Yokech is like, but he cares about the international team. - He cares about the international team. It means a lot to them. - It does. - It's so tough to be the best player in a league and be a champion in that league and not care. - But he really doesn't see what he does. - No, you're right. - That's definitely how he portrays it. But like behind the scenes, how hard he works, how much of a competitive spirit he has, and he gets in front of the cameras and he likes to act like Kyler Murray. - Could Kyler Murray, could Kyler Murray be one? - Yeah, Kyler could definitely-- - Like I am so good that I don't have to care kind of guy. - I looked up who are some athletes that didn't like their sport. Andre Agassi is apparently one of them. - Oh okay. - He's married to Steffi Graf, right? - Joe DiMaggio. - Whoa. - Wow. - Really? - Yeah, apparently didn't like baseball that much. - Jay Cutler's great at it. - Jay Cutler. - Yeah, smoking Jay Cutler. - Larry Sanders, the former basketball player. - Okay. - Yeah, Jeff Kent, the San Francisco Giants. - Yeah, he played a long time. - Team H with Barry Bonds had a, I think an MVP season and an iconic pushing fight with Barry Bonds and the dugout one day that he lost in epic fashion. - Yeah, Rendon, the one you mentioned earlier, Walt Chuck is definitely the poster boy right now. - Yeah, he is, I mean, he gets the bag after being awesome. - Oh yeah, he's talked about how he-- - And he's been open about like we need a short of the season, bleeped the sport, he doesn't care. Last thing here around the base is MLB is pairing with an apparel company to use helmet ads for the playoffs. So they're gonna have advertising on their helmets during the post-season. This is a deal that's gonna go through 2027 with Strauss, a German apparel company that entered the US market last year. - Oh geez. - Yeah, I already thought it was un-American to do this. - The helmet's gonna say Strauss or Strauss in capital letters. - So it's the same for everybody. - Yeah. - My goodness. - Yep, there you go, base time. - Thank you, Walt Chuck, I brought you by Uber Eats. It is a proper round trip for most nights at six o'clock, you're in the nation, where are we going next, Chief? - Hello, Friday news dump. We got bat news in Walt Chuck City and we just had the most entertaining drive of the year for the Colorado buffs. That's next year in the name. - Hey, Mike Villeini here, host the cash to ticket alongside my partner, Jim Costa. It's really simple. Are you tired of podcasts claiming they're a bunch of pro betters when they live in their mommy's basement? Are you tired of podcasts that claim they hit 80% of the games? When really, they just lose like most of us. Think cash to tickets, the spot for you.

Jump online to FranckleFirm.com. Fan after dark, coming up at seven o'clock. It's time now for a Friday news dump. Here's the chief. - Yeah, we are going to get the very first hosting opportunity for Carter Freeman. That's why he was gone here for a while. I had to go prepare his mind, body and soul for his first hosting opportunity alongside a whole Fred in there. - Oh, okay. - So he's here. - Yeah, it's Carter and Fred tonight. 90 minutes leading in to some de-gromination where we have the over on Punch Out six and a half. And we're gonna look into go two for two after what Rocker did for us last night. - I would be one-in-one. - That's true, that's true, brought us one-in-one. But hey, one-and-oh on the day with the way you took down Lil Nitro, you s-talked it all day and you backed it up. - I think Lil Nitro might have lost some of its pop. Maybe because it's sat in the locker sometime. I'm not saying that's a factor, but I'm saying it's a factor maybe. I'm not saying, but they might be saying it. - Well, you think if it's sat for a long time-- - I thought it would make it even more potent. - Usually that's the way it works. - That's my guess. - I have no, I don't even feel the effects of it right now. I really don't. - I didn't even get to see you throw it in because it was so quick that I can't wait to go back and look at it and just see how, 'cause it was like, it felt like it was just true. - Chomp, chomp, and then I just took it there. - Wow, and no pain at all now. No, nothing lingering back in the tongue, whatever. All good. Walchuck took down a pickled pig foot today. - I might do that next week if I lose. - By Big John, it eat the biomass. - So you looked at that that big foot today and thought I could do that. - I looked at that as a possibility because to me, if I thought it was all meat, and if the most of it's just bone, that's maybe seven to 10 bites, yeah, maybe? - Yeah. - That's not terrible. - So I googled, does hot sauce get weaker with age? And it said no. - Okay. - Yeah, might lose the flavor could change a little bit. - It was wrapped up pretty tight. - Oh, yeah, it was stored properly. - Yeah, pretty tight. - Thing is crazy, man. I can't believe the way you took that thing down. Okay, got a big time at bat news for Walchuck's hometown, but before we get there, I do wanna play this sound here in the Friday news dump. This is some football sound to Sean Jackson and Gerald McCoy were teammates of James Winston when he did the infamous eating the W pregame speech. This is them talking about it, the backstory, and there's even one more layer to it that we didn't realize. Take it away, DJax. - Oh, you was different? - Yeah. - I was saying, I'm the meme. Just look at that. I'm like, me and James, I look. That said, I was like, dawg, what is you doing? - Yeah, I remember, Cam Bray, Cam Bray said. - Tight end. - Yeah, he said, come on, Gerald, that's our quarterback. I said, let's shut up. I don't care about that. What you talking about? Why is he doing that? Which is a crazy part is, Kwan was supposed to give the speech. James pushed me out the way I got it, Kwan, hold on, hold on. - Gee, he did that. I was like-- - He was butty on my cheek. - I was like, bro, what is he doing? - He was butty on my cheek. - The thing is, it's weird, this is where we at. I'm glad I'm playing them more 'cause you just tell how it is. - We just told him, we got in a locker room, it got worse. - Gee, he did it. - Oh, we got worse. - Yeah, he did. - Right before we ran on the field, he was like, hey, this is one of them games. Sometimes you guys just pull it out, and show him who's as big as. Right before we ran on the field. I'm not lying, am I lying? Am I lying? - Yeah, I'm lying. - So that whole day, all y'all know is to eat the W's. Y'all don't know that whole day. We had no shot to win that day. - They were, they were-- - We had no shot. - It was not as well received by the teammates as it was the internet because we all loved it. And we literally ate it up. But his teammates did not like it. And I just loved the confidence of Jamis. There was a scheduled pregame speech guy, Quan. And of course, Jamis is like, no, no, no, no. I got this, boys. - Watch. - Watch me make history today. And then they went and got their asses kicked. The drive of the year so far for the Colorado buffaloes is a hit and run that ended with a pickup truck. This is on the field of Folsom Field. - Talk about crashing out. - You ain't kidding, dude. If you see a large police presence-- - Quan Alexander. - Quan Alexander. - Quan Alexander. - Yeah, yeah. - If you see a large police presence near Folsom Field, it's because we have been coordinating with Boulder Police to arrest a hit and run driver who fled the scene of a crash at Foothills Parkway in Arapaho and entered the stadium in custody and everything like that. But the photos are pretty legendary. This dude is shirtless. He's got what looks to be a newer Toyota Tundra with a bunch of stuff in his tailgate and the tailgate's open and there's just tire marks all over the field and he's out of his car shirtless with his hands up. Like I just, like a touchdown, basically he's doing the touchdown sign. - It's a grass field too. - Yeah, it's a grass field. It definitely is. So now I think they're on the road, right? At Colorado State. - That Colorado State tomorrow, yeah. - That works out for me. - The game in like eight days. - I just don't understand how you're able to drive a car. I guess maybe some gates were open or-- - Yeah, he rammed it and punched to the chair. - Yeah, he rammed the entry gate to get into Folsom Field, eventually getting out of the truck and surrendering to police. But before that, he hit a couple of trees and a sign and then at least two hit and run. - You're looking at at least 0.15. - Gotta be, dude. - And this was like in broad, this is like the morning. - Geez. - This is mountain time, right? - This is, I mean, yeah, that's a good call. - That's a bender. - That's a good call. Okay, so Wolchuck, planning officials say a bat found in the city has tested positive for rabies. - Oh, no. - So we should be our city? - Plano, yeah. - Plano, yeah. - The bat was found on throw bridge lane. - Okay, not near me. - Sent off for testing, not known to have contact with any humans or animals, but you obviously gotta be careful. All of a sudden, that little kitty that runs around in the neighborhood gets bit by the cat. You don't know the cat or by the bat. - Yeah. - Did they test all bats that they find? - Yeah, I think so because-- - For corks. - I don't believe, I don't know what our bat populations like around these parks, to be honest with you. I'd be freaked out to see that. That's like-- - At night, if you're-- - Bats are amazing. - Listen, fam, I'm telling you guys, if you're parking this garage right here-- - Yeah, you'll see 'em. - At night, you can see 'em in this garage. You just have to look up. It'll look like a little mud spot, but if you look closer, then you'll see like, "Oh, what's a flying rat?" - Oh. - Yeah, right here, right here at this garage, right here. - Oh my gosh. - That, I don't like that. - Man, I guess they're-- - I don't like that. - They're a mind their business kinda species. - They sleep during the day, too. - Yeah, we talk the same thing in the dumb otter. - Yeah, make sure that's good. - Make sure that rat cools and stuff. Jumpin' ladies. - I see, you know we got a bat. - I can see-- - You can't trust these. - You know that story about the otter Disney. - Had the raccoon in there. - He was chokin' him out. He was like, "Nah, bro, I'ma need that today. I'ma need all of this today, bro." - How 'bout some heartwarming, just good old fashioned, awesome news of the week to give you here in the dump? - From you? - Texas Roadhouse adds its famous, original honey cinnamon butter to North Texas Walmarts. - There you go. - And you can buy the rolls, too. And the rolls. - This is beautiful. - Yeah. - That honey cinnamon, it's wiggly buttery spread. Oh my goodness. - Yeah, I mean, really it's about time. All these places. Was it, did Waterburger set the standard with getting their catch-ups in there? Or was it your Chick-fil-A? - Chick-fil-A and a Waterburger definitely both-- - I think Waterburger was first there, right? - What am I doing first? - Yeah, who are birds who do the punch there? - I'll tell you what, you can go down to the condiments. - The condiment aisle now is impressive. - Yeah. - Of all the things you can grab. - It's loaded up with everything you need. - In a good way. - Yeah, yeah. - In a real good way. - We have a couple of other, what do you think about Pringles unveiling a couple of new flavors? - Flavors. - Three new, tell me which one sounds good to you. - Okay, so I was just at the store looking at Pringles and I remember it as a kid, they seemed magical. - Yeah. - They're different, they're in this tube, they got a different flavor to 'em. But I kind of looked at 'em and just passed. - Yeah. - Yeah, it was. - It's been a while since I voluntarily just like purchased Pringles, but again, they haven't evolved to like the push pop style to where, you know, we can, the chips should be coming to my hand, my hand shouldn't be coming to the chips if that makes sense. - Yeah, it's annoying. - You gotta just dunk it into them. - You get too many, you gotta slide 'em down. - Yeah, they start getting broken. - Yeah. - Have you ever not cut your hand trying to get some out? - Yeah, well you just get stuck in there, man. - It just, I've cut my hand a couple of times. I'm like, I guess you could just dump 'em, but instead of this, or you kind of drinking 'em or whatever, definitely done that, and especially towards the end, where that's usually the coming to. - But yeah, so they got the everything bagel Pringle is now out and about. We have the chili cheese fries Pringle, and then you also have the harvest blends with sweet potato. So that's sort of like a, I don't know, like a fall sweet potato, whatever pumpkin spice. - Always felt like the standard Pringle's the best. - Really, just the original? - Red. - Wow. - What do you, what do you guys-- - Sour cream and onion? - I was gonna say sour cream and onion for the-- - I love it. - The cheddar ones for little cheddar ones go hard. - Yes they do. - Cheddar good, the barbecue's pretty solid, and the pizza flavored. - When they do the, the pizza does, like it, they kind of nail that flavor. - I'm just getting a bag of lace, plain, original-- - What are you gonna hate on that? - Yeah, but we're just living in a Pringle world right now, so you can't just come in here with the lace like that. - I just feel like, go to me, just give me the regular yellow bag of lace. - Ultimately, I'm in agreement with you, but ladies didn't do anything special this week. - With the flage, but any sandwich, it makes the sandwich even better. - Put some hot sauce on them, joint. - Darn right. - Okay, speaking of hot sauce, we're getting some love that Taco Bell might have been first. With the sauces and the aisles. - Oh, is it a Taco sauce? - Yeah, Taco Bell did put the hot sauces in the-- - Kind of felt like, we were talking about, okay, I guess that's, I guess it's okay. - It's not as great, but solid sauces. - Yeah, I don't think anybody's been going to Taco Bell for their sauces, but when you're at the grocery store looking for a good taco sauce, not necessarily a salsa, you see that Taco Bell, and at all other options, I've often gone there. - You wanna doll up your ground beef, get some of that powder, like the Taco Bell has that seasoning in those little-- - Yeah, that's good stuff right there. - Those are the hacks that makes it a lot better. - Like a slant asshole. - I go with a asshole. - I go with a asshole. - Slap your mama. - I tell you, I made meatloaf for you guys one time, but I used the Taco Bell seasoning too, 'cause I thought-- - Really? - Yeah, yeah. - That was freaking amazing. - Give it a little kick. - That was-- - I like the lavatory myself. - Ooh, what is that? - That brand? - I have not loved-- - I'm sure if I saw this. - If I saw it-- - See if I can bring it up. - Where does it look like? - It's like, you know, it's got like a yellow top here. - Oh yeah, here we go. - Yeah, you're gonna see it right here. Lavatory right there, that one. - Oh, okay, yeah. - That one's funny. That's the best taco sauce in the game right there, boys. - What is it? - Lavatory right there. - Really? I have not seen that. You ever had it? All right, Lavictoria. - I will put it on my glass. - When I arrive at a new neighborhood, I'm like, okay, which one of these stores? - Lucius. - You help Lucius. - I hit you with all my glasses again, bro. - Lavictoria, yeah, the red taco sauce. - All right. - So you're doing the part time? - Yeah, I'm part time, bro. My ego won't let me do it. - Yeah. - Yeah, we're at the tacos. - Just rockin' life. - Where's tacos on the relation of like, is that one of those things you could probably eat every day? - Yes. - Yeah, 'cause there's so many different ways you could have 'em. - Yeah. - I'm just like, oh, it's like, not the various ones, but just like-- - Like a ground beef taco. - Ground beef taco every day. - Breakfast, chicken. - Every day. - Like a homemade, whole pastel taco. - Is she making an oven? - Yeah. - I can eat that every day for a year. - All right. I'm with you again. - Don't feel too bad, Lucius. I'm getting to a point where sometimes my eyes get tired and I can't see my phone. I gotta be just like, oh, I'll try to get it. - Yeah. - That's not too lazy. I don't wanna do it. - At least. - When I first started wearing the glasses, really all through middle school and high school. And then I got to college and I was like, forget this dude. I'm just gonna wear 'em now. - It's just so much better. It's so much better to be able to see. But yeah, that's a huge dub, right, Lucius? That's this week. - Yeah. - That's for him for the first time. - I've already had to like push 'em up around my nose. - Oh yeah. - I have to push 'em up. I still make it, I can't see face while I have 'em on. Like, I can't see, I can't see. Okay. - I gotta go to this doctor. You guys went for the LASIK. I'm tired of pushing up my glasses. I do, 'cause I sure people like, stop pushing your glasses up, bro. That's all I do, the whole show. I'll be honest with you, this is like that. God, I hate it. - It became like when I-- - I get a smaller face. I need to do one or the other. - When I first got the LASIK, it was like a couple of weeks before I stopped, just naturally at times, just like doing the push thing, like I was pushing up glass on my face, 'cause I was just so used to doing it. I've been wearing glasses for so long. - It's like Dave Hillman rubbing his eyebrows. Have you ever seen him in a minute? - Hillman, it'll sit in just like this rub his eyebrows. Like in the middle of like, I used to like freak out. - That's his move. - Like this move, he'll be talking to you all, so he'll just start rubbing his eyebrows. - I still think, man, with you wearing the frames, the goodbye brows, as a bet pay off there, losing an eyebrow or two, whatever. Next time you lose broadness, I-- - Look at him though, look at the frames that he's got. You would never even know, like, but-- - Yeah, but you're up though, bro. You'd never know if you didn't have eyebrows right now. - But the thing about it is, that's like a three month grow back, maybe? Is that what you're turning out? - You ever take? - You know. - It's probably different for everybody. - I think everybody-- - I think I think I don't want to. - I think I'd look redo-- - Is it one or both? - Well, you could do one for a while, but then if it was bad, you could do them both, and nobody would ever notice it. Mike Bassett walks around like that all the time. - No eyebrows. - He's coming to the bathroom. - He's coming to the bathroom. - He's like, "It's clean on that bottle." (laughing) - Get into your room. - Hey, look, that's Bassett. - Yeah. - Never gonna fool Bassett. - You know what's going on, Mike? You surprised what's going on, bro? (laughing) - All right, there it is, that's the dump, boys. Thank you. - Thank you, Chief. The fan after dark, you have Fred and Carter, that's gonna be your pairing here. Is this fan of history? Is this Carter-- - Yeah, I think so. - Coming out of the podcast. - It's got a little football for an hour and a half today. - He's had some segments here and there. I know I bet QL show he would do Carter's corner. He jumps on with K and C. We've had him on a couple of times, but I think this is his first voyage. - Yeah. - We're chatting with the fan after dark crew. It's coming up next. It's the G back nation of the fan. - Yes, sir. Thank you, Lucius. It is the G back nation, time to hand off the broadcast baton to the fan after dark. Fred and Carter tonight's configuration for the first time ever. - What's up, guys? - Good evening to you. - How you doing, Fred? - Man, I'm good. We're just, you know, Carter haven't worked together. So, you know, it's who's available on a Friday from eight to nine 30 or seven to eight 30. And boom, Carter, you know, answer the bell. - Made voyage hosting. - Great, yeah. It's a historic night here on the fan, Carter. So congratulations on that. How you feeling on a nurse? - I'm feeling good, you know. I've had two summers working with these bozos on that QL. So, you know, they've trained me pretty well. - We should, we should actually relive Lucius that tees from Carter on that show. - In the last month of the QL, I had to not only end a segment. I didn't have to end it, but I did. But I had to bring a segment back at one point because Eric was in the bathroom and Wolchuck didn't have his headphones in. I'm like, all right, it's time. - Well, that's pretty much like Brian Kelly at LSU blaming everybody for yourself. - Carter wanted to do it. I mean, I'm seeing they're usually, he can tell me like, hey, we're coming back. So, I'll be good to go. He didn't. - And you just went ahead and brought it in. I appreciate it for it. - I just, the TikToks you were watching were more important. I know it was Carter's corner too, wasn't it? - It was your segment. I figured, yeah. - You might as well bring it into your segment. - Whatever the F, it's cold. - That's exactly what they thought. - Whatever the F, it's cold. - Was it, yeah, I think. - That was Crowley's segment. - That was, yeah. - Is that what you're gonna struggle with Tulane this weekend? - I hope not. But after watching him against Houston last week, it's really hard to, I need to see the offense be really good 'cause even in their first game against Tulane or against Temple, a really, really bad team, the offense was fine, but it was very vanilla. And so they need to show me more exotic looks. Like the receivers right now are hurt for OU. Their top three didn't play last week. One of them will come back this week, hopefully, but the guys that are running out there aren't getting open against lesser corners. So that to me is the most concerning part. And the offensive line is really banged up right now too. - Who do you guys open the SEC play with? - Tennessee, a game I will be at. That's Norman. - Is it Norman? - A week from tomorrow. - Hey, how long has it been since the program was this toothless? - Two years, 22, we went six and seven. - Yes, but this is the same era of that. - Well, if you want to, if you want to get era, it was John Blake in the '90s before Bob Stupes got that Ranger Blake back, come on. - He's a legend. - I'll tell you what, the whole career. - I'll tell you what though, you look, you go to that indoor facility, they've got some banners in that place. - They do? - They've got some banners. There's a lot of-- - The boomers are mentioned. - There's a lot of winning in that place. - A lot of winning. - I mean, a lot of programs have, you know? - No, no, they had a literal small bad run, but man, I mean, not like Nebraska, Nebraska's had a long bad run. - They're back. - Oh, used bad runs were the '90s and like the '60s. But other than that, I mean, they are a perennially good team. Like, to me as a fan, like 10 wins is the standard. If they don't win 10 wins, it's a disappointing season. - Yeah, yeah, we were playing in the Alamo Bowl every year, though, that's one of those things, right? - Yeah, you know, we actually hadn't played in that game so the last couple of years. - I was just saying, for my sake and LSU, I have the feeling we're gonna be like, we're gonna be like 16th in the country and right outside the playoff thing. - Or like the music city bowl or something like that. - Yeah, exactly. Where the field is mismatched, you know, it's got like the Titans in zone with some other bad sponsorship, you know? And it's poor down-reshing with the Outback Bowl at Raymond James. - At what point would you second guess the decision to go to the SEC? - If we go on like a Texas-like run where we couldn't even win, they didn't win in the Big 12, you know? - Yeah, well, they did last year. - Yeah, for the first time in 14 years. - Sayonara, Big 12, that was tough. - See, that's my concern is that OU becomes Texas A&M. - And see, I don't think-- - Right, that's the feeling I get the OU's, that's the area of territory they're gonna creep into. - I don't think that just because like-- - Everyone of creep over there, dude. - But you don't. OU is the program of that state. Like they have the Thunder and Oklahoma States there too, but like that's the pride and joy of that state. They're about as like recession proof as possible. And when they went six and seven, 2022, what they do the very next year, they went 10 and three, they won 10 games. So they're gonna put all their efforts into making, keeping it and making it a good program in the SEC. And OU's won everywhere they've gone. So me as a fan, I'm not concerned. - Yeah, you're just gonna come dominate women's softball, I know that. - Well, yeah, that's just a standard, yeah. - That's just a given, only four titles in a row. - Yeah, we're not actually what matters. - It's fun when it is. - It matters for me, man. I want all those sports. - Oh, give him hell. Oh, you sucks. - Whoa. (laughing) - Go back to Denton. - Go back to you and see. - Caw, baby, we're about to get a big win at 11 a.m. tomorrow. If you want to love it, we can kick in that red radar ass. - I was gonna pick you and show him a good game. - I'm not at the bar. - I'm not at the bar. - Let's go Chandler Morris. - Is he a mo? - This is gonna be an embarrassment for y'all tomorrow. - Yeah, it could be a big Sunday, or really night for us. - Look, Chandler Morris. - I'll be getting trolled by my family, big dad. - He's a little more aggressive. - I know you quarterback for a while, and I'm not sad, he's not on our roster anymore. But it is crazy that this is his third school. - How many schools has he visited? - This is his third school. His first year at UNT, but two at OU and two at TCU, I believe. - This feels like the charm, though. - It's kind of like he feels like he's 28 years old. - Yeah, it's not. - No. - No. - Just taking shots at our guy like that, Ryan. - Just worry about your school. - Oh, I know. You're enough there to keep you busy right now. - You're absolutely right. - He's got to end it this week. - Yeah, exactly. You're right. - You're right. What's up? - Thank you, Yoss and tonight's show. - We're talking conspiracy theories, and I'll tell you why. 28 years ago today, Tupac died, and for the longest time, I was convinced he was still alive. - Okay. - Okay. - All right. - So, what conspiracy theory? - What conspiracy theory? - What conspiracy? - Hey, I did a persuasive speech in college. Got an A on it. All right. Hey, by the way, Chuck D with a Tupac still alive truther for the longest time as well. - Stop the day after 9/11. You're going to do this? - That's what I said two days. - There are calling in the moon landing. - The moon landing is fun. - He will argue with you like, and he'll be nice about it, but he will argue. - It was funny convincing some of the stuff to you. - And then you walk away and he's still coming after you with, "Okay, do you think about this?" - I had some fun playing along with it. - Yeah. - Yeah, he was-- - He's dug in. - He was way dug in like Bobby, and you know what? - Trey. - Trey. He was right about that. - Yeah. - That was good though. Well, you know, like I said, it's only because, I mean, you know, it's Tupac, so-- - Yeah. - And then he was giving up on the Tupac one? - I have. No, like I said, it took 20 years, but he finally gave up on it. But I went ahead and finally gave up on it. So when we had no more new music, that's when I decided enough was enough. - It did come out. It came for a while. - He dropped another couple of 200 songs after he died. - Wow. - So he was-- - Exactly. - And one of his verses was "Live in the Vita Loco," which again-- - Oh, Ricky Martin. - Wasn't going on in 1996. - So there were things that were happening, and AI wasn't big yet. - We're going to be started on this, guys. Really, I don't want to go down that rabbit hole again, but I'm just saying there's a lot of pelts on the wall when you start looking at it. - So I just googled conspiracy theories, because I have one I'm saying for 740. - Is it the Shannon Sharp stuff? - It's some of the most generic ones at the top. Number four, the Earth has been sucked into a black hole. That's a conspiracy theory. - Yeah. - People are thinking that? - A lot of stuff in this black hole. - Number five, Disney created Frozen as a distraction. For what? - To what? - War. - I don't know. - Well, here it comes. - I got to read the fan half. - Here it comes. - It's such a good one. - I'm here. - 30. - 9/10 first pitch that I with to Grom on the hill cannot wait to be back next week. Of course, Wisconsin and Bama on the fan tomorrow at 11 a.m., 9 a.m. on Sunday, you will have Cowboys a pregame show with a 12 o'clock kickoff, Saints in town.
