God bless football, Billy Gill. God bless football. Billy Gill.
God bless football, Mikey, eh?
God bless football, Fuentes. God
bless football, Stu Gotts. July.
Technically June. Yeah, it's June.
Headed into July. It's it's that
time again but Billy made a very
astute point that once hockey is over, it does not take these websites long
to just flip the football.
Yeah, everything's football already.
It probably was already, right?
Yeah, yeah.
You tracking these things or?
I mean, I look and then I see like,
oh, this is a lot easier to find than it was before.
And like, it's not like hockey's over.
I guess it's just because we're getting up
to mini camp time because I like respectfully,
and I say this as the home of the Stanley Cup champions,
how many people care about hockey?
It's a great question.
I don't have an answer for you.
Not a lot though.
Enough.
The ones that do care a lot.
They really care, the ones who care.
Like Roy, he really cares a lot.
Yeah, if you care, you care.
Right, if you, put it on the Right. If you can't, that's, yeah.
Put it on the poll. If you care, do you care?
But I think Billy's right about that.
I think Canada, they care about hockey
the way we care about football.
Like somewhere, someone in Canada
is doing God bless hockey, no?
Yeah, well, care less because.
Should be us.
Canada hasn't won a cup in 30 plus years.
We're sitting here saying how much we ate hockey and you want to do a show called God bless hockey. I'm in.
Yeah, because we care about football, but we did.
God bless football.
That's true. That's that's that's a very good point.
I missed last week.
I was told that a new segment was debuted last week.
I'm upset that I missed it.
It was Billy's Story of the Week.
Do you have another story this week?
Are we doing it again this week?
Yes, I do actually.
So we had a new segment debuted, Billy's Story of the Week,
and then each week that I remember to do it.
That was a very key phrase.
Every week I remember to do a story of the week,
there will be a story of the week.
And then at the end of the month,
when I've done multiple stories of the week,
there will be a story of the month.
Oh wow. And that story will win a big
prize. So you're taking all the stories four weeks in a month. So we're taking
the four stories. Well, if I remember. If you remember. Right. It could be one, it
could be four. Yes. It's one will be an easy decision, story of the month. But if
you go four, we will take those four and we will decide which one is the story of
the month or you will decide. Let's get to, let's finish out a month
and then we can figure out how it works out.
We got the election coming up.
Let's get two.
Let's get two before we start worrying again.
In fact, wait, hold on a second,
because I'm now just realizing,
and I'm glad you brought this up,
and we could have done this off air,
but I'm glad we're doing it here
so that the audience understands this too.
June, July.
This is exactly right.
This is gonna be our last episode in June. So do we decide the story of the month in June today or next week? June, July. This is exactly right. This is gonna be our last episode in June.
So do we decide the story of the month in June today
or next week?
Oh, wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Has to be today.
Okay, why don't we do this?
I'll give you my story of the week early on
and then at the end of the episode,
we can think about it as we're doing the episode
and then at the end we can reveal
Billy's story of the month.
Okay. Yeah, big reveal and a big prize. I don't have last week's story. I'm not
armed with that information. Okay, so I'll give you, I'll give you just a little,
since you missed it. A refresher for me and Mikey A2. Exactly right and the audience in case you missed
last week's episode. So just so we're clear, you're going to give me, because I missed last week,
you're going to give me last week's story of the week, then you'll do another story of the week,
and then at the end we're going to choose the story of the month. At the story of the week, then you'll do another story of the week, and then at the end, we're going to choose the story of the month.
At the end of the episode, we're going to choose the story of the month.
Got it.
I'm just going to quickly tell you how it works.
So we've already set it up.
Last week's inaugural, Billy's story of the week, came from Baton Rouge.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay.
Les Miles, former head coach of LSU, is suing LSU because LSU agreed to vacate 37 wins over
improper benefits paid to a former player, former player family member, something along
those lines.
The wins were from 2012 to 2015.
As a result of the 37 wins being vacated, Les Miles' win percentage went from above 600 to below 600,
making him ineligible for the College Football Hall of Fame.
Oh man.
So Les Miles is suing, saying that they are doing damage
to him by not having him be eligible
for the College Football Hall of Fame,
which he may have not gotten into anyways,
but he's now no longer eligible to be on the ballot
because as a coach you have to have a 600 or above percentage, and now it's below that because of the vacated
wins.
Okay.
I didn't know that you had to have a 600 winning percentage to make the College Football Hall
of Fame.
That's actually pretty interesting.
I think Les Miles would have gotten into the Hall of Fame, won a national championship,
and had the winning percentage of over 600, and now he is suing LSU.
Now were these inf. Now, were these
infractions, were they, did they happen while Les Miles was in
charge? They did and the issue. Sue himself. I mean. So he, so
he said he wasn't interviewed for the investigation. No one
reached out to him. So he wasn't part of the process. So they
agreed to vacate the wins without him being part of this
process at all. Also, I'll tell you this. Another person who
had win percentage over 600,
and you guys can fact check me on this,
Howard Schnellenberger also had a situation
where his win percentage was over 600.
He was eligible for the College Football Hall of Fame
because of his time down in Miami.
Then as a result of kind of building up Louisville
and building up FAU, his win percentage dipped below 600.
I don't like that.
So he was ineligible for the College Football Hall of Fame. I don't like that. So he was ineligible for the college football hall of fame.
I don't like that.
You have a coach who built something at Miami,
one of the great coaches of all time,
and then he takes a couple of chances
at some smaller schools, tries to build those schools up,
and now he can't get in.
I mean, what's the point of taking chances in life?
We had someone look up Les Miles.
If Les Miles, I believe Les Miles needs to win like three.
Two wins.
Three out of four games. Okay, Two wins. If he wins two,
two more games, he gets it back over 600. Is he coaching right
now? No, he's not. Then we were talking about where can he call
to get those two wins. So anyways, you're all caught up.
Now, you know how the story of the week works. I feel like
less miles can call just about any school like, you know,
middling school and probably get a job. That's what I said
too but then the problem is. But you gotta win. But you gotta
win. I understand that but so where would you choose? But that's
the thing. It's tough. You pick a you pick a school that's
desperate for a coach or attention or whatever but they
need two cupcakes to start the season. So, you get the two
wins and then he bounces. Then he bolts. Yeah. And be good
enough to beat said team. Exactly. Yeah. Because you
can't lose because then it goes even further down. But it has
to be a school that's enamored with the idea of hey hey, we're going to get less miles like UCF.
OK.
No.
But would they get rid of who they got for him?
Exactly.
I don't know.
How about USF, South Florida?
I don't think they're any good.
That's a problem.
They're not good enough to get two wins.
He's got to get two wins and get the hell out.
Yes, basically.
USF is like, USF's right around the caliber of school
that they may be in the traveling
the first two weeks of the season.
The problem is that USF is-
Or paycheck.
USF is the team that gets put on school schedules.
That's what I'm saying.
So they get the shit kicked out of them.
That's potentially-
They are the tune-up school.
I'm pretty certain USF had a lead at halftime
against Alabama last year.
It was the craziest game I'd ever seen.
All right, so USF is, well, here's the problem.
USF starts the season hosting BCU,
which is Bethune-Cookman.
Okay, thank you.
That's one, that's one, okay.
Thank you.
That's one.
I thought you added an extra one to BC.
I thought you said Boston College.
I was like, oh man, no.
I was like, the Eagles?
Yeah, that's tough, that's a tough game.
Well, hold on.
Here's the problem with USF.
Week two, Alabama.
So he has to leave the half-time win.
He has to go there.
Get him early without saving.
New coach.
So he has to get the Bethune-Cookman win.
Or he gets into Bethune-Cookman resigns.
Yes.
Bethune-Cookman resigns, one nothing.
Heads to another school after that.
Next year, follow Bethune-Cookman.
You're making this a two-year project. You can knock it out in two weeks. You want the Hall of Fame or not Heads to another school. Next year,
next year. You're making this a
two-year project. You can knock
it out in two weeks. You want
the Hall of Fame or not? That's
that's. How badly do you want
it, Les? So, anyway, that was
that was Billy's story of the
week last week. Uh can you look
up Colorado State? Just the
schedule. I feel like I feel
like they would take him as
their head coach. He can get two wins and get out of there and have this done wrapped up in two weeks.
And he's back in the hall.
By the way.
First game at Texas.
Oh, that's a loss.
Oh no, no, no.
Damn it, damn it.
But.
What do we think?
I'm telling you.
But hold on, week two at Northern Colorado
so we could do a USF and then a Colorado State World Tour.
The rare midweek hire.
Who is, who's week three?
Colorado.
That could go either way.
Yeah.
I don't know how you feel about Dion this year.
I don't know, it's gonna be interesting to see.
Did you guys see the story?
This isn't Billy's story of the week or month,
but this is just a story that came out.
Did you see that Dion made the Colorado Buffaloes
go to his son's rap show,
and that kind of sealed the deal on a lot of them,
deciding, you know what, I think I'm, I think I'm leaving
this program because it was mandatory for the team to go to
see his son perform. He made it mandatory. Yeah, he made it
mandatory. So, then a lot of people like that's final straw.
I'm transferring out. Yeah, not good. Anyways, that's how the
game. That's how the game works. Okay. How do you feel
about this segment? I love the segment. I uh I'm just trying
to figure out the score Unless Miles should be upset.
He really should.
I understand these infractions happened while he was in charge.
But the fact that LSU, what they decided without asking him,
without including him in this discussion, they decided,
hey, Les, you're not going to the Hall of Fame.
Les should have a say in that.
Well, I don't think they were considering any of the consequences
when they made the decision to vacate the wins.
I'm pretty certain they enjoyed the national championship
while it was happening when Les was there.
Well, they did. He deserves better.
They didn't vacate a national championship.
I know, but they vacated wins that keep him out of the Hall of Fame.
I mean, listen, I would love to be a lawyer to represent Les Miles.
It seems like a slam dunk case.
It doesn't.
But what's the outcome that he gets? They get the win. They're not going to get the wins put back on. So, he must be like a slam dunk case. It doesn't. But what's the outcome that he gets?
They're not gonna get the wins put back on,
so he must be like a monetary thing.
Can we have Carl Douglas on next week
to see how he would defend this?
That's a good question.
What are the consequences?
Sounds like Billy's story of the week
is gonna drag out three weeks.
Of the decade.
Front runner here.
This segment may have been too good.
You started too strong.
I don't think we'll get another story like this.
Well, okay, good question.
What is the story of this week, you ask?
This week's Billy's Story of the Week.
Okay.
Coming soon to a television near you.
Holiday Touchdown, a Chiefs love story.
The Chiefs and the Hallmark Channel have made an agreement to have a Chiefs football themed holiday movie made this season
Why?
I'm assuming this is a Travis Kelce Taylor Swift thing
Let's get the attention and the Chiefs have I guess given permission to the Hallmark Channel to use their team and their likeness and their
Logos and everything so holiday touchdown a Chiefs love story coming soon to the Hallmark Channel. Wow
They're getting married, huh?
We talked about this last week.
You also missed this actually last week
because we had more Mike Lee.
Sorry, I missed last week.
Yeah, it was a big episode.
Big episode.
Damn.
You also missed Share Bear.
What?
And Brandon Seiler.
Get out of here.
Yeah.
We haven't spoken to Seiler since week one of Leznier.
He actually had a really good story, if you want to go back and listen to it. Story of the week. No. So
he so Tyler story of the week. He jumped off a yacht and lost his national championship
ring and then like to get a replace, you have to ask the university permission. So they
give you a code. Yeah. So then he called the company, gave them the code and found out
that that was for unlimited ring replacement. So he bought a bunch in case he lost it again.
Okay. I have a question though.
And he gave Share Bear one of the rings for his birthday,
but took it back.
Yeah.
He only let it out on the day.
He gives them to people for their birthday.
For the day.
And he takes them back and holds them.
So for their birthday,
they can wear a ring just for the day.
But no, he promised Share Bear that he gave him the ring
as a gift for his birthday,
but then he said, I'm gonna,
you're gonna get a tipsy or whatever
I'm gonna take it back and hold on to it for you and never give it back to him
Give it back to the guy who lost it
Classic Siler
He was and he was holding his pickleball paddles for hostages is a crazy episode. Anyways, you missed a lot. I'm upset. I missed it
So, what are we doing now you told your story those are two stories at the end the episode I missed a lot. I'm upset. I
to decide. I'll sit it out. I don't care. You guys can vote. All right. We're doing this. I have a question. Really? Breaking down. You're gonna play Santa Claus because if Andy replays Santa Claus changes my whole outlook. You would think that there
should be at least one chief cameo, right? Oh, how about this? Let's play a game. Which chief would make a cameo in this movie?
They're not going to get Patrick. How do you know? It's well, if Travis asked Patrick, then they'll get him. No no Travis is not in the movie. I understand. Well, he is he is
Yeah, he really is his movie. Okay, I mean his love story. I seen Andy Reid in those commercials. He's got acting chops
About our boys spags play Santa Claus
What would he do though, I don't know he's the the angry stepdad. It's way defense against them getting married
He's the kids football coach. I
Miss spec I do too. I was just thinking
We had so much fun with him last time he was on I showed up his draft board by his draft
All right a draft board behind him bill is gonna laugh at me. He's gonna get mad at me
He's gonna roll his eyes a spags invited me and you to a day at chief training camp. That's not true.
I swear Billy.
I promise.
Yeah, but Stugats, here's the thing.
I didn't say yes, Billy.
I'm just telling you.
Have you ever heard the story of the boy who cried wolf?
No.
Okay, well long story short.
He saw a wolf and he cried?
Well, he lied about it a number of times
and every time he said wolf, wolf,
the townspeople would come to save him
and there was no wolf.
He was just doing it for attention
because he was bored. And at the end of the story, spoiler alert, there to save him and there was no wolf He was just doing it for attention because he was bored and at the end of the story spoiler alert
There was a wolf and he was crying wolf wolf and no one came to save him and a wolf ate like all the sheep
Or ate him or something. I don't remember exactly how it ended wolf ate a bunch of things exactly right
You know what I learned is the three little pigs also depending on where you read it has quite gruesome endings
Depending on where you read the story. There's lots of versions of these kids' fairy tales that have really dark turns.
Are you saying depending on where you read the story or when you read the story?
No, where you read the story.
So why is it different in different places?
I don't know. I guess it's like one of those like public domain stories now or whatever.
So like anyone can do it.
So like there's versions of the story where the wolf can't get into the brick
house right at the end the house made of bricks is the house made of hay the house made of sticks or
you know wood or whatever then there's the house made of bricks he can't get in that house and then
the wolf on some versions of the story will go down the chimney to try to get into the house of
the three little pigs and once he tries to go down the chimney, they have some water boiling in the chimney,
and in some versions, the wolf will burn his backside
and then hop up the chimney, run away,
never to be seen from again.
In other, more gruesome versions of this story,
and if you have children, maybe, turn away for a moment,
they cook the wolf and then eat him.
Wow. Yep. Quite gruesome. Those are two vastly different stories. They are vastly different stories, Look the wolf and then eat him.
Yep. Quite gruesome.
Those are two vastly different stories.
They are vastly different stories
and we're on a very big,
I wanna read the Three Little Pigs thing
before bedtime now.
Right.
Which one to read?
Well no, I have like-
Gotta check the ending.
I had, exactly right, I had like a physical copy of it
that we like checked out of the library
and that's how we kinda got on on this kick But then we returned the book
So then I just like on my phone very quickly Google like three little pig story, right?
And then like they'll have pictures some will some won't and I'm like live editing
What's happening on this story as I'm going ahead? I'm like no changing the end. Yeah, I'm like not gonna read that part
Nope, you're improvising
Exactly, right. I'm changing words. I'm saying you know what we don Nope. You're improvising on the vlog. Exactly right, I'm changing words,
I'm saying you know what, we don't need to know that.
Let's just, ran away happily ever after, the end.
Daddy, what's in that pot?
Exactly, no, I mean, every time.
I had Billy coming down with a book,
it's Billy's story of the week.
Every time the cauldron makes an appearance,
the wolf just burns his butt,
and then we make a funny sound,
like and then he went, ooh, ooh, ooh,
and then he ran away. And that's how I try to clean up the ending.
Still leading to nightmares so anyway. All right well we have a afuentes top five will
determine Billy's story of the month coming up towards the end of the show. Well so back to the
boy who cried wolf. Spags did not invite us to Chief's training camp. I don't believe that story
because you've told so many fake wolf stories in the past.
Spags bags.

Why do you laugh like a little kid
that's misbehaving at school?
Cause I am misbehaving at school? Because I am.
Misbehaving. I just don't understand it.
I don't know.
We delay the start of the show because you want to just be laughing with Mikey A and the break.
I mean, Funtess was wearing us out with a story.
Well, okay, so we have a lot.
Not for air story. Not for air story.
That was another story.
Billy, you've known me for nearly 20 years now. Are you you just are you waking up and just hoping every single day man?
This is the day that Stugatsa is gonna grow up. No, I've given up on that. I wake up and I'm like
Yeah
Anyway, so you gots I have big news for you you do. Yeah, we have a game of more Mike Lee we can get to that's not
The big news. Oh, you have a game that you want to do you today? Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if yeah
Mm-hmm Mike Fuentes has five stories that are not being talked about enough in the NFL that he just stole from the NFL calm
He also has a top five. Yeah, it's not five. Yes. He wasn't trying to steal them from
I'm doing this guy a favor. Yeah, people see these articles
He's upset that people aren't talking about these stories Eric Ed homes really upset. Yeah, I don't know
So I have a surprise just for you.
OK, great.
Guess what?
What?
Zach Wilson.
Yeah.
New haircut.
Get out of here.
Let me see it.
Let's see.
I am terrified this guy is going to he's going to make it to the hall of fame.
Oh, that's terrible.
He looks like a quarterback now.
No, he does.
That's terrible.
That haircut.
Really?
Yeah.
Mike, you like it?
Looks like Justin Herbert. Justin Herbert's biggest. Yeah, he doesn't throw
like Justin Herbert. Well, Justin Herbert's biggest. He's
got the hair. If you remember when Justin Herbert shaved his
head, that was, I think we called it the worst thing that
he could have done to his career. I had totally forgot
that he did that. Yeah, he shaved his head. He looks
terrible and I don't know that his career has come back since then.
I have a question for Mikey A.
More concerned about Zach Wilson or Sam Darnold
coming back to haunt us?
Sam Darnold.
Oh, it's gonna happen.
Sam Darnold's gonna come back.
It's gonna happen.
With Kevin O'Connell?
Justin Jefferson?
That's gonna happen.
You're going to Mikey A,
you could have just very easily said,
which is more Mike Lee,
who's more Mike Lee to come back and haunt us and then had both of them and Mike you
could have that might have been one of them because guess what Mike E never
gets to play more Mike Lee because he's always the host and it would have been a
nice treat for him to play I'm sorry let's play it right now we'll get to
your top five stories that no one's talking about that you stole from NFL.com. We'll get
to your top five. We'll get to I wouldn't be surprised if but
let's play on Mike Lee. More Mike Lee. Sorry. Yeah, get it
right. Alright, the Stanley Cup is in South Florida. Yeah. So,
which trophy is more Mike Lee to come to Florida next? The
Lombardi or the college football
playoff national championship trophy?
Lombardi.
Lombardi.
Yeah, Lombardi.
I mean, Canes or Dolphins?
No, Florida, it could be any Florida team.
Oh, any Florida team.
Florida State, no.
Lombardi still.
University of Florida.
UCF, USF.
Dare never.
I mean, we have expanded playoffs now.
We do. With less miles at the helm, you never know.
Right.
We do have expanded playoffs.
I'll say the NFL.
I'll say Lombardi.
I'd say Lombardi, too.
And I'm not saying it as some of the things
that's coming anytime soon.
No, but it has a better chance.
Dolphins are there, Baker could put it together.
But college also, you just need,
especially with the transfer report like you just need a year
yeah you know like you need one season nfl is more of a tricky rebuild i can't imagine miami florida state well i shouldn't say that it's so hard to win the super bowl billy's gonna change
my mind it just takes one season to rebuild in college you're right it does you get the right
donor transfer you get one big transfer and boom like syracuse i am telling you right now syracuse you know, you can't rebuild in college. You're right. It does. You get the right donor. Get the
right transfer. You get one big
transfer and boom like
Syracuse. I am telling you
right now, Syracuse is going to
be Billy. No. They got a
quarterback they don't normally
get. He transferred from Ohio
State. He was their starting
quarterback last year. That guy
never goes to Syracuse and now
he's at Syracuse because they
offered him more money. I mean, to your point. That's all I'm saying. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway,
what's next? Wait, so did you
change? No, Lombardi. Okay.
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Alright, what
are you more likely to be
watching this holiday season?
Holiday touchdown on the
Hallmark channel or a
meaningless game between the
Panthers and Cardinals.
That whole Chiefs thing sounded interesting. Yeah, it really did.
I want to see if any of Reed shows up.
Spags in it, you know?
Spags.
Is he spags in it?
Yeah, I want to see, no.
All right, hold on a second.
Maybe he's in there.
What are the choices again?
Cardinals, Panthers game,
or the Hallmark Channel movie with the Chiefs? I'm going to say Cardinals and Panthers game or the Hallmark channel movie with the Chiefs?
I'm going to say Cardinals and Panthers only because I can't bet on the movie.
Cardinals play at Panthers December 22nd so it's right, it's like days before Christmas.
Oh I did my research.
This is prime like let me get in the holiday spirit, last minute things, maybe we're making
some holiday cookies or something at the time.
Last minute shopping, maybe we're delayed
on putting up a tree or decorations of some sort.
So like, you're looking for the holiday music,
you're looking for the holiday movies at this time.
Yeah, you are.
I'm going movie, I'm gonna go with the movie.
I think.
Again, I can't bet on the movie.
I'm certain I could bet on the movie.
Well no, I can't bet on the movie.
Well hold on. That'd be movie. I'm certain I could bet on the movie. Well, no, I can't
Hold on Andy Reid makes an appearance at plus 200. Yeah
Okay, I have a question spags Marys Taylor Swift
So this game the 22nd is a Sunday. We're ruling out Red Zone. Red Zone's not an option.
I'm in a home that only has this game and the holiday movie, right?
Yes, that's what he's saying.
Sure.
Alright, holiday movie.
Well, that's how you have to play it.
Not sure. It's a Sunday, right?
There's other games?
It's a Sunday. Yeah, because you have Red Zone, you have the whole Sunday slate,
but if it's just watch that game. It's a Sunday. Yeah, cuz you have Reds on. You have the
whole Sunday slate but if it's
just watch that game or the
movie movie, I mean the strange
thing, the great thing about
the NFL is that that game
couldn't mean something. We
have no idea. Yeah, Carolina
could be good. Arizona could be
good. Unlikely unlikely. Excuse
me. Uh but they could be good.
Uh and so that's that's the
beauty of the NFL. I'm taking
the game. Yeah, same game. It was diehard. No, I didn't go to game
I went movie. I went movie. I'm going you a movie. Yeah. Sorry. I wasn't listening
I'm gonna say ask me after my fantasy draft. What what if I end up with Kyler Murray or like
Homework movie. Yeah, why the game. Yeah, the game. The game.
Game.
Game.
All right, next.
One more?
That's a big week of games.
It is.
And the holiday movie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a big week for both.
Big week for entertainment.
Honestly, I said that's a big week for games,
just scrambling, looking at the schedule,
and I haven't seen a great game.
Not a lot of good games.
There's not a lot of great games.
That day in particular was not a ton of good ones.
Not that you know of. Yeah, that's true. There could be plenty of good games. Not a lot of great games. That day in particular was not a ton of good ones. Not that you know of.
Yeah, that's true.
There could be plenty of big games that weekend.
49ers are at the Dolphins that day.
Here's what I'm saying, Billy.
You don't know if those games are going to be big or not.
You know what movies are trotting out there.
I mean, it's Home Alone and Die Hard.
Yeah.
Every week.
All right.
One more, Mikey.
More likely to have a better season on his new team. Saquon Barkley or Josh Jacobs? the I was trying to like sneak it
in here. Yeah. Wait, wait, wait,
but here's the question. Uh who
else is with the Packers? What
are the running backs are still
with the back? They got rid of
all of them. Where are they?
J. Dylan, I believe left,
right? Quatzilla. Yeah. Yeah.
See, I need to know if AJ. AJ's
there. Josh Jacobs, AJ. Oh, he
resigned. Marshawn Lloyd,
Emmanuel Wilson. Okay. So, Jacobs or Saquon with the Eagles.
I'm gonna say Jacobs.
Jordan Love got engaged.
God bless Love.
He loves Love.
I don't know.
She loves Love.
She loves Love.
She loves Love.
Yeah.
What's the matter?
And soon she's gonna be Love.
Well, hold on, hold on.
We gotta follow Billy down this path here.
No, no, it's fine.
No, no, you seem to have some questions and concerns about this. What's going sure she's going to be love. Hold on. Hold on. We gotta follow Billy down
this path. No, no, it's fine.
No, no, you seem to have some
questions and concerns about
this. What's going on? Five is
a bit young. I agree with you.
In my opinion. I agree. I got
married in secret, remember?
Like a year ago. Yeah. How was
he then? Where did Jordan Love
go to school? Utah State. Is he
Mormon? What? I'm just asking. It's a good question.
Yeah, because I don't know.
I don't know enough about it.
Is this like a high school Swiss?
So are you concerned that he's getting married too early or are you concerned that marriage
might take his eye off the prize, which is football?
Well, I mean, it's the real price.
The Lombardi.
Well, not just that.
He's the Green Bay quarterback.
Yeah, we have also big contracts coming up for Jordan.
Love, you know, let's stay focused.
We just had a great year.
Wedding planning takes up a lot of time and focus and attention.
You don't want that.
You don't want those added stresses when you're headed into a big contract.
Right. Love's love. It'll be there.
Right. Wait a little bit. Love will wait.
Exactly right. It's like Austin Eckler.
I mean, he played seven, eight seasons before he decided to get married.
Kept his eye on the prize.
That's right.
Yeah.
And he went to Washington because it didn't work out, but that's fine.
That's where the prize was.
Yeah.
In Washington.
Yeah, I guess.
The new prize.
Yeah.
Yes.
Anyway.
So Josh Jacobs.
Jacobs.
Yeah.
Sure.
You don't share Bill's concern about Jordan Love getting married this early? I mean. Of course I do. So Josh Jacobs. Jacobs. Yes. Sure.
You don't share Bill's concern about Jordan Love getting married this early?
I mean.
Of course I do.
I would scream don't do it.
How old were you when you got married, Mikey?
Was 30.
Okay.
I think that's the right age.
How old were you?
I think I was 32, 33.
32, I think.
Play the field, huh?
You really took your time.
I mean, I wasn't exactly financially stable.
This isn't the best industry.
Yeah, that's what you don't say.
Kids later than I thought as a child.
My anniversary tomorrow, going out for a nice pizza.
Oh, there you go.
Oh, very nice.
Not the whole pie.
New York style?
No.
You got to treat him to the whole pie, man. Can't afford that. I'll buy you a pie. New York style. No, you got to treat him to the whole pie.
Can't afford that.
I'll buy you a pie.
There you go.
Dinner's on me, Mike.
Wow. Don't.
That's on me.
Dinner's on you.
Dinner's on me.
Go splurge, Mike.
Go wherever you want, Mike.
Get the clams on your pizza.
Where are you going to go?
Get some garlic rolls.
I don't know.
Now the world has opened up to me.
The world has opened up to me.
He's like, how far is Boston? What is Connecticut? You don't
think I could go big here? I
know. No, no. Well, you can.
You can. How far are you from
Westport? Close enough. I've
never had a meal less than $500
in that damn town. Jesus. No,
Westport, Billy. I mean, it's
where Hal's from. Wingo. $500 in that damn town. Jesus.
No, Westport, Billy. I mean,
it's where Hal's from. Wingo.
Greenwich, Connecticut. Billy,
I have a question for you,
right? But not the gated one.
It's the only one. Chris,
telling us. What's next to
Adam Silver? What was me story
of I have the smallest house
without a gate but also my
neighbor's three blocks away from me is the crazy
And the neighbor is Adam silver
Like you go trick-or-treating at your house like now the houses are too far apart, but don't worry of the smallest
I think okay Chris feel bad for you, buddy
out of here I miss him. Oh, so do I. So much. Oh my God, that is so funny.
Chris Sims.
The way he tells his story.
Oh God, we don't have a gate.
Yeah.
Okay, Chris.
Around my mansion.
Billy, I have a question for you.
Yeah.
Would you rather have Tua or Dak?
Haven't we played this game a bunch?
I feel like I've heard this before. I'm just wondering.
I feel like I'm committed to Tua at this point.
You have to be, you're entrenched.
Yeah, I'm committed to him.
Holy s*** guys, there's a reason they're not signing that guy.
Well they don't want to pay him $50 million.
Because they don't think he's good enough or he's worth $50 million plus they can get
Dak next year.
For 60.
I think that's probably more of the reason than they don't believe in him. the most. Plus. Oh my God. I wouldn't be surprised if.
Next.

I lied. I wouldn't be surprised if we'll be in the last segment. I wouldn't be surprised if you lied. Well played Mikey. Jackass. Spanx. Spanx.
That was good. That was good.
We have a lot to get to though.
Fuentes is a top five but more
importantly, someone on NFL.com
is very upset that we're not
discussing five stories. Yes.
Fuentes, do you have those
stories available? Yes, Eric
Edholm of NFL.com says there's
five stories and no one's talk
about enough. We'll start with
number five. It's the new kickoff rules.
So these are stories no one's talking about,
according to this guy at nfl.com.
He says they're not getting enough attention.
Okay.
Okay, so the first one's the new kickoff rules.
And he says that-
Who is he?
And he says the new rule change this off season,
it's very stark and dramatic.
It will absolutely impact games.
He said that all the kickoff return numbers,
the averages over the past four seasons
have been about 1,000 yards and seven touchdowns.
Last year, only 587 return yards and four touchdowns.
I'll worry about that week one or week two
when I get upset.
I can't spend my off season worrying about kickoff rules.
So this guy is right.
This is a story no one's talking about.
But he's wrong in thinking more people should.
We'll talk about this when the season gets here.
This is not important right now.
Eric, go to the beach.
Get a hobby.
Hold on, hold on.
What percentage of football fans
are gonna turn on their TV week one
and go, what the hell are they doing?
Yeah.
And you know what?
And Eric's defending right, Mikey.
He's trying to shed some light on it right now.
Right, so you're aware, yes.
And what percentage of those households
is there gonna be the person that's like,
I know all the rules, and then tries to explain them and then you realize, doesn't know the rules. And then Justin households is there going to be the person that's like I know all the rules and then tries to
Explain that and realize doesn't know the rules and then Justin Fields is there returning kickoff
Yeah, like what the hell did you see that Madden put out a preview for their new Madden and Fields was returning?
They had in the trailer Justin Fields returning kickoff
All right, what's the Wilson slip somebody a hundred bucks to do that?
What's number four here number four right, what's number? Russell Wilson slipped somebody 100 bucks to do that. What's number four here?
Number four is Anthony Richardson's health.
I feel like people are talking about that.
I haven't really heard a lot about it, but you know, who told him?
Don't get hit so much?
Joe Flacco.
Yeah, don't get hit so much.
You know who's backing him up?
It was Trevor Lawrence.
Oh, it was Trevor Lawrence.
That makes more sense. Because I'm like, Joe Flacco doesn't run anywhere. You know who's backing him up? Is it Trevor Lawrence? Oh, it's Trevor Lawrence. That makes more sense.
Because I'm like, Joe Flacco doesn't run anywhere.
Why would Joe Flacco run anywhere?
Right.
But Joe Flacco's his backup now.
In the event that he gets hurt.
He's telling him, hey, don't please.
Listen, Richardson, what a talent.
If he could stay healthy and stop running, he's going to be great.
The thing is, he doesn't really have much other than that right now.
Well, he's got a cannon but inaccurate
You know true it's tough. But was it his throwing shoulder his other shoulder injured
Throwing shoulder then we should be more concerned about him. We should be talking about his injury
Yeah, it just says here that it was recently surgically repaired. I don't think it was his throwing shoulder
We're fine. Eric go to the beach
Get a hobby
What's next? What about the number three? Yeah. Oh wait, sustained an injury to his AC joint in his right throwing
shoulder. Oh, we should be talking about it. Back on the beach, Eric. We got something to talk about.
Ditch all your hobbies. Come back, Eric. Tell the family we can't go. Not a beach day. We got to talk about
Anthony Richardson's shoulder right after we talk about the kicking. Yeah. Yes. But if he stays healthy, Richardson, watch out for the
cults. Huh? How's that for analysis? Anyway, number three,
number three, Daniel Jones and drew lock.
No, I think we're all right. Listen, listen, Mike. He heard
it. I haven't spent like I'm okay. There's not a single day
in my life where I've spent any time.
Forget about talking about drew lock.
Thinking about drew lock in June or July is not happening.
I don't care if he thinks we should be talking about it.
I'm not talking about drew lock.
No, not doing it.
No, Daniel Jones and drew locks.
Families are dreading the day they retire from football and they have to go to Thanksgiving
again. And I stand by that. Daniel Jones and Drew Lock's families are dreading the day they retire from football and they have to go to Thanksgiving again
And I stand by that hmm
Okay, you have to log missing a lot of Thanksgiving. Yeah, they're just focused on football. They're not going to the big Thanksgiving
Right, but what is Drew Lock's team ever featured on Thanksgiving? Well, I'm just saying he's supposed to be focusing on things He's not at the Thanksgiving. You're right. Yeah
Number two, oh thank God The Raiders QV situation.
Aiden O'Connell, Gardner, Minshew,
Oh, Minshew, Minshew, Minshew's got to be a starter. He's got to be the
starter. There's got to be. Gardner, Minshew. Dude was a pro bowler last year.
Next week, I'm coming
up with a better top five. This
isn't a top five. This is a
terrible. Why would I be
talking about this? Five
stories, NFL dot coms, Eric at
home. Thanks for having me to
have more light on. Drew
Drewlock's playing on
Thanksgiving this year. Of
course he is. Of course he is.
So good. Thank god. And number one, you already hinted on it.
Wait, we're not done discussing it.
No God.
Oh yeah, you need it.
That Garter Vintshu.
What's Jared Stidham up to?
What is he up to?
I don't know.
He's got to be back up in New England.
That's where they all end up.
That's on the Broncos, isn't he?
He's part of the QB room for the Broncos.
Stidham, yeah.
Yeah. Really? Stidham?
Yeah, it's Stidham, Bo Nicks, and your boy.
Zach Wilson.
Bad hair.
Aidan O'Connell, what are we supposed to discuss?
Who should start?
Gardner Mentschoo.
Mentschoo.
Mentschoo.
Mentschoo.
That puts Aidan O'Connell in a bad spot.
Signed Gardner Mentschoo.
It's basically like.
Listen, Aidan O'Connell's just lucky to be in the league.
Just collect the checks and be done.
Jeez.
We saw him at the Super Bowl.
He was walking around, big guy.
He was there, he was there with somebody.
I don't even remember.
Oh yeah, he was there.
Yeah, he was there the first day, I just don't remember
who he was. With all the other guys
who didn't make the Super Bowl.
He was there, I think, for the Charmin House.
Yeah.
He was handing out toilet paper.
Who was he with?
I don't know, a receiver, I think. That Charmin house. Yeah. He was handing out toilet paper. Who was he with? I don't know.
A receiver I think.
That Charmin house is great.
Yeah.
That's what Super Bowl week is all about.
Number one.
Yeah.
Is two of the next $50 million QB.
That's all we're talking about.
I know.
I just talked about it.
I don't get why he would put that.
Should I give you one of the stories
people were talking about too much?
Sure.
He's not though. I mean
number one, the Falcon Falcon's
QB situation. People are
talking about that too much.
There is no situation. It's
I haven't heard talking about
it. When was this written? I
don't know. Number one, how
good's QB situation? I mean, I
just had a 30 minute
conversation with Steak
Shapiro who was a legendary
host in Atlanta and he didn't mention it once.
Were you a guest?
No, we were just talking.
Oh, okay.
This one's actually interesting.
The Bills offseason of unloading vets.
That's talking about too much?
Too much.
Another thing I haven't really heard a lot about.
Who's Eric talking to?
I don't know.
What are the other ones on there?
Did you mix up the lists?
Yeah, I'm confused here.
The Chargers wide receiver panic.
They got rid of Keenan Allen.
Got rid of all them, Mike Williams too.
Panic.
Mike Williams.
But who's panic?
Who's talking about this?
Who's the panic?
Who's talking too much about this?
Yeah.
I'm sure Adam Schefter's son knows everything that's going,
no, not Adam Schefter's son,
his brother is very locked into this.
For whatever reason,
I had a brother that was a Chargers fan
and didn't know why.
Who else is on this? Good callback. Yeah, thank you, Mike those a Chargers fan and we didn't know why.
Who else is on this?
Good callback.
Yeah, thank you, Mikey.
And the number five, you'll like this one.
Texans as Super Bowl contenders.
Yes.
I mean.
Little early.
Well, it's not.
I mean, they should be.
Too many people are talking about that.
Right, I just don't.
Right.
Some people, maybe.
That one's under the.
Around the water cooler. Too many, though, I don't. Right. Some people maybe. That one's under the water cooler. Too many though. I don't know.
Uh too many people. I guess we should know where Eric lives
because like. Let's have Eric on the show. Oh. I can probably
get him. I don't know. Do we want him? No. I mean, Eric's
uh seems like a nice guy. I mean, he's trying to do his job.
He's trying to come up with content. He gave us content.
That's fine but we're going to talk to Eric and he's going to
be like, let's talk about the kickoff rules. Like, no, thank you, Eric. I mean, but I I want to show him how to do his job. He's trying to come up with content. He gave us content. That's fine but
we're going to talk to Eric.
He's going to be like, let's
talk about the kickoff rules.
Like, no, thank you, Eric. I
mean, but I I want to show him
how to do one of these lists.
That's all. Oh, do you? I'm
sure that's that's going to go
well. Sure. Eric really wants
you to teach him how to do his
job. It's going to be great.
Just want to help a guy out.
Yeah. What would you tell him?
What stories would you put?
What's your list? I have to
think about it. Just think of
one list. One story that's
being talked about too much. Too much?
Yeah.
Too much.
The kickoff rule.
He just said it's not being talked about.
I don't care what he says.
I say what I say.
It's my list.
It's my list.
I knew it.
We're off his list.
This is my list now.
Because we shouldn't spend the second
talking about the kickoff rules.
Not a second.
Until Justin Fields is returning kicks.
One second is too many seconds.
If Justin Fields starts returning kicks. Then we can talk about it. I'm talking about it. But we're not even really talking about the rule. We're just talking until Justin Fields is returning kicks one second is too many seconds If Justin Fields starts returning then we could talk about it about it, but we're not even really talking about the rule
We're just talking about Justin if he should be doing it. Yeah, that's intriguing to me fields returning kicks
And playing running back and wide receiver it is he's a great athlete. I
Don't think he'd be a good running back
We talked about this. It's all he did was run. I know, but it's different, like I said,
broken play compared to.
I know.
I have some news for you guys.
Breaking?
Might make Eric feel better.
Anthony Richardson will be a full go at training camp,
according to Chris Ballard.
We're talking about it.
But we don't even have to talk about it anymore.
We shouldn't be worried about it.
He's a full go, he's good.
It would appear.
Mike had upgraded to the list of talking about too much. Things too many people worried about it. He's a full go, he's good. It would appear. Like an upgraded to the list of
things too many people are talking about.
Yeah, I guess.
Yeah, but he could transfer over.
Exactly.
But he needs to stop running.
Yeah.
That's what we should be talking about.
Is there a list of stories
that are being talked about just enough?
No, there's no list that says stories
that are being talked about just the right amount.
Darn.
I know, that's his next column.
Yeah. Like a good darn.
Big darn guy.
That are being talked about just the right amount.
Just the right amount, the proper amount.
Who's the commissioner?
I'm sure, like here's a very easy one
that you put on the list you got.
Things that are being talked about too much in the NFL. Right. Travis Kelsey, too much. Too much. that you put on the list you got things that are being talked about too much in the NFL
Right Travis Kelsey too much too much easy to put on the list
Yeah, not for football, but you don't want to talk about that or he thinks it's been talked about just enough
Yes
I said that him showing up at Taylor's show very very look at me, Louie. Did you see the video of Jason Kelsey?
So Jason went with him.
To that show, London show.
And then Jason was just walking around outside the stadium
before the show and ran into someone wearing
a Jason Kelsey jersey.
Like he ran into a kid wearing a Jason Kelsey jersey,
took a picture with him, I think he signed something
for him. So cool.
It kind of is.
It really is. The kid had one of those like mouth gaping moments, he was like really shocked. It was a cool picture with him. I think he signed something for him. It kind of is. It really is.
The kid had one of those like mouth gaping moments.
He was like really shocked.
It was a cool moment for him.
And also no one else knew who Jason Kelsey was
because it was a Taylor Swift concert.
And he probably loved it because.
Oh, certainly he loves it.
Travis wants everyone to know.
He can't, okay, for the show.
And I'm okay with that.
I'm not blaming Travis for wanting that,
but he clearly wants that and Jason does not. He came out in
the tuxedo. He did a whole
little dance number. I was told
he was good. Yeah, he might have
been, but let your girl do her
thing. You go send this dance.
Wasn't he dancing with Tom
Cruise at one of the concerts?
Yeah, he was probably around.
Yeah, with a bunch of celebrities.
So, Tom Cruise missed his
daughter's graduation to go to
a Taylor Swift concert. I did
see that too, yes. I mean, are
you kidding me? Weird priorities. You should be taking your daughter to Taylor Swift concert. I did see that too, yes. I mean, are you kidding me? Weird priorities.
You should be taking your daughter to Taylor Swift
for her high school graduation.
I think that conversation went.
I'm sure you invited her.
I don't know.
You invited her.
She had something else to do.
And she said, no, no, dad, I don't want to go to Taylor Swift.
No, you know, I got graduation.
You go dance with Travis Kelsey.
I'm fine.
Don't worry.
It's a terrible job job I cruise see Prince William
dancing at the concerts good dancer I cannot imagine you know that he was not
yeah he's shaking it off like he has it dances his wedding he's English no he
was dancing to shake it off he was he was giving it his his his
all. Okay. Yeah. It wasn't good but he was into it. Yeah.
Huh. Mm hmm. So not a good
answer. No. A for effort. A
for effort. Yeah. A for
enthusiasm. D minus an
execution. Alright. Uh we have
a Fuentes top five and we will
finally get to I wouldn't be
surprised if and we determine
Billy's story of the month.
Next.
We have a lot of things we have to do before we get out of the show today. We have to give my story of the month.
Can we just do that?
We can kind of just check that off the list.
Story of the month?
Yeah, right now.
We're doing it right now.
Yeah, do it right now.
Les Miles.
Yeah, Les Miles.
Yeah, I don't think that one was even close.
Check that off the list.
The reigning champion.
So congratulations to Less Miles story.
You have now won.
I don't really have a prize to send you
because who do I send it to?
Less Miles, I'm not gonna send him three wins.
I can't do that.
No, it's not the Hall of Fame,
but listen, you are the winner of Billy's story of the month.
Correct.

on your behalf saying, I give you a win this week
so you're only one short. Less Miles. You're not gonna do that. Well look I promise you this
okay and I know where you're thinking Mikey Wolf Wolf I promise you this Less Miles if you reach out to me
asking for me to write a letter to the Hall of Fame on your behalf counting this win as a win towards your record, I will do so.
Okay. So, all's in your court. Spags. I'd like to get Les Miles on the show and I want Les Miles to feel our support for him.
Sure. Can we do that? I'm gonna try to get Les Miles next week. Okay. All right.
He probably won't be able to say anything if he's suing someone. I just want him to hear.
He doesn't have to say a word. That's weird. It would be suing someone. I just want him to he he doesn't have to say a
word. That's weird. What are
you going to be a weird
interview but I just want him
to hear and feel our support
for Les Miles. That's all. Okay.
I wouldn't be surprised if he
passes on that. I do think the
story of the month winner, we
should bring him on to present
him with something, you know?
Okay, well, we have, I wouldn't
be surprised if we haven't even
explained how the game works.
Oh, yeah. How does that game
work? So, you take something from how the game works. Oh yeah. How does that game work? So,
you take something from the
NFL. Yeah. And that, you know,
is unlikely to happen this year
and and you say, I wouldn't be
surprised if you want an
example. Yes. Okay. I wouldn't
be surprised if the Chicago
Bears win the Super Bowl. How
about that? So, you
play the game. And now, we all
have to say one. Yup. But you
didn't tell us this before so
none of us prepared for this.
So, none of us thought of
anything. I've been teasing it
since the first segment. But
you didn't tell us what the
game was. You didn't tell us.
Oh, I'm sorry. We didn't say we
were doing it. You just said
you had a game. You can make
the game whatever you want to
make the game. I'm choosing the
NFL, okay? You can be surprised
about anything. Go ahead or
you'd not be surprised. I
feel like we've played this before. Well, you know, June, July. I mean, I
think I did this game like one of the first episodes. Really?
Yeah. Maybe not. So, your your surprise was? I wouldn't be
surprised if the Chicago Bears win the Super Bowl. Wow.
Wouldn't be surprised. Good team, good defense. Caleb Williams, they're usually not wrong on
that guy. Like when they take, except for Trevor Lawrence.
Just football or anywhere. But when the NFL says this guy's
going to be great, that guy's usually great. Number one
overall pick quarterback, usually great. Peyton Manning,
great. Troy A Manning, great.
Troy Aikman, great. John Elway,
great. Caleb Williams, if he's
great, they got a chance of
winning the Super Bowl. That's
all. I feel like that's a weird
trend we have with quarterbacks
now though. You gotta be great
the first year. Usually don't
go like that. Peyton Manning's
first year was terrible. Oh,
awful. Yeah. Yeah. And then
Brady didn't start until what?
His second or third year I want
to say. He started uh. When Bledsoe got hurt. He started when Bledsoe got hurt his first, second season. I don't even sure.
Second.
But now like if you're not CJ Stroud, bust.
You're out.
Yeah, and if you're Bryce Young, you have like, that's it.
Yeah, Bryce Young's already.
Career's over.
Yeah, exactly.
Crazy.
That's weird.
That's why, big Bryce Young guy this year.
Yeah.
Bounce back.
Yeah, I want to see him do good.
Why?
Because it's like you're on the worst team ever.
And then everybody all your, because you just want to watch that Carolina game. I was going to say
good enough that you're going to miss the holiday touchdown. Anyone else have one? What?
I have another one actually. Do you? Yeah. Okay. I wouldn't be surprised if
I wouldn't be surprised if
Dak Prescott is the Dolphins quarterback next year. Wow, you kind of already got to that earlier
Well, I'm going two seasons ahead now. Okay, cuz I already checked off this season. All right this season I won't be surprised if the Bears win the Super Bowl. Yeah, I'm kind of in on that
That's gonna be the quarterback. Well, you guys said that like a segment ago. I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised.
We played the other game.
I know.
I didn't say I was in on it.
I'm in. Yeah.
I wouldn't be surprised if Mikey spent his free time
running with one of those loops that you hit with a stick and chases it.
Hmm. I like your game.
Yeah. Yeah. In the past. Sure.
Yeah. Now I don't do much running. You know, I was just based on your new look that you have going this week surprised if Mikey runs be honest with you
It's just based on your new look that you have going this week. You wouldn't I would be surprised. How about this game?
I would be surprised if I wouldn't be sick. How about this?
How about this? I have a new I have another one. I have another one. Yeah, if I was a single man
Yes, I wouldn't be surprised
if I went to the same bar years apart
and ran into the same person.
Wow.
I wouldn't be surprised.
Wouldn't be surprised if that happened.
Yeah, me neither.
Wouldn't be surprised.
Get their number.
Local neighborhood?
Yeah.
Go to put in the number, you realize I already have
this number, then you have a weird encounter.
That would be insane.
I'm not surprised.
Wouldn't be surprised if that happens.
It's a weird thing to happen. Especially because you're married, Billy. That'd be really weird. Well no, in this scenario That would be insane. I'm not surprised. Wouldn't be surprised if that happens. Especially because you're married Billy.
That'd be really weird. Well no in this scenario was not that. Wouldn't be surprised if that
were to happen. It'd be crazy. Sorry for whoever that happens to. I do too.
Really awkward. How do you get out of that? It's awkward. Especially in the digital media age.
You just follow people on Instagram. Oh my gosh. What if you tell someone and then they word it out? Tell that story? That'd be annoying. Pretend it's new
but it's not. Lipsync ships. I hope that guy's doing okay. Anyone else I wouldn't be surprised if?
Or we can move on to Travis Kelce's box. Yeah, Let me tell you his box star star studded included Mila Kunis Ashton Kutcher and Greta Gerwig the director of Barbie and
Then and then the next night he went back obviously cuz girlfriends performing and in his box sir Paul McCartney and Bon Jovi
Whoa, did you see him dancing? Did you see Paul McCartney dancing with Swifties?
Was he good? I mean his like how old are you like 80 years old? He's having fun. That's the thing
about dancing, right? If you're
having fun, who cares? Yeah. The
key to dancing is just not
caring. Exactly. You look like
a fool. Just go out there and
dance. Like, it doesn't matter.
Wait, who was the box the first
night? The first night included
Mila Kunis, Aston Kutcher, Tom
Cruz, and Greta Gerwig, who's a
director of Barbie. Okay. And
then next night? The next
night. Well, one of theta Gerwig who's the director of Barbie. Okay and
then next night, the next
night. Well, one of the nights
of the three nights there, Sir
Paul McCartney and John Bon
Jovi. If you could only be in
one of those boxes. I think I'm
taking the Bon Jovi box.
Really? A box for your life.
Well, no, Tom Cruise and the
other one. So, yeah. Are you a
Tom Cruise guy? Yeah. I'm going
cruise. Tom Cruise might be one of the greatest or the greatest actor of all time.
He's been in a bunch of stuff.
I also am Mila Kunis fan.
Mila Kunis was on our show once.
I mean 20 minutes.
I'm sizing this up from 20 minutes.
One of the coolest guests we've ever had on.
Really?
Yes.
She seems cool.
Yeah.
Did not know Ukrainian immigrant.
Paul McCartney is 82.
I'm 82 in dancing.
If I'm 82, really, if we're gonna just stop.
Forget the dancing.
Yeah, if I make it to 82, win.
And I'll donate that win to Les Miles.
And I'll put that in the Hall of Fame letter and he's good.
That's two.
We're good. 600.
I got you.
Tell Les that next week.
Can he wait 35 years, 45 years?
Les is 70, so lots of against him.
He'd be a coach in that league.
That's right, in the Sean Alexander league.
