We got Giants pregame for game two against the St. Louis Cardinals. In what is a six game host and Giants and Cardinals then the Apoditus going to town Giants got to win last night. It is a landing route on the hill for the Giants against Quinn Matthews a lefty for

the Cardinals more on that to come when we get to pregame at 545 but since we don't have a show on Thursday because of the Niners opening night game against the Rams week one and our 49 around table out at Almanac Brewing starting at 12 o'clock John Lund gets going at 10 a.m. We got to take care of the dips today back into the arena. Me against Derek five topics one minute a piece. We debate the topics than Danny awards a point there are other rules we just don't know what they are and we call it Danny's double dips. Dirty work presents Danny's double dips. Double dip. I put my head on one. You'll be when I dip you dip. Just take one dip and end it. All right, Danny's double dips on a Tuesday the scoreboard and the leaderboard is up on the video stream on these sports leader dot com. The YouTube channel and the KMBR app I'm nine and eight all time 45 total points Derek seven and eight tied in the lost call. I'm nippin. Nippin your nippin 35 points on the season for Derek checking out Kirin

Crowley one and O Ted Ramy one and one and Rick Tittle O and one but they're qualified for the most season that they've competed. Danny was still on that. I was a three day weekend. It was fun. Went up to Sacramento at the the American river floated down nice to the floor. And then I watched a buddy on Sunday. Oh yes, the killer Barney movie. I was like, yeah, how was that Danny? It was better than ice cream man. That's you saw ice cream man too. Yeah, I don't forget it was ice cream. You scream. We all scream. Yeah, I was like, you liked it more than ice cream man. Yeah, just barely the killer Barney. I'm gonna down for that. I'm down with Demented adult swim type movies like that. Was he just a murderer or was he like, Demented? Was he like a demon? I think he was like a demon. Okay. And Kiko Michael Key is the voice of buddy. Is he? Yeah, he had a few funny moments. Yeah, exactly. Across the clown. Yeah, I always go. Who's going first today? You won last time, so you get to pick. I'll go, I'll go second today. Okay, we're going to start. Here we go. All right. So we talked about it last week.

A little bit George Clooney said that he wasn't really a fan of AI. Said he wouldn't you'd like to avoid being in a tampon commercial 20 years after he's gone. Yeah, I understand. He doesn't want to kiss the babes either. So do you endorse AI using your likeness after you're gone? And if so, are there any products that you would or would not like to do it? Oh, great question, Dan. I'm for it if they pay me. I'm kind of like Al Michaels where you could put me in anything you want. Maybe not anything. But like, Al Michaels did the, he didn't do it actually, but they got the AI version of Al Michaels do like memories of the Olympics. And they paid him in the end. So he's making some coin off of his likeness. I'm down with that. If Juleus wants to show me like hosting shows, well, after the fact that they probably will, I'm down for that. Like endorsements, I'm down for like, you know, car commercials or nice, you know, beer commercials, anything like that. I'm with Clooney though. I don't want to be in tampon commercials. I don't want to be in like, I don't know. What else is embarrassing like Viagra commercials? I don't need that. It's like, it's me, Derek Poplam.

Would you know, well, after the fact, but I can't get it up. Would you do it now? I do. I do. I need the money. Yes. I'll do it. I did probably know medical class like is the money green. Yeah. I might as well. Blue shoe with Derek Papa. But yeah, I would, I would be down for AI as long as I'm in some scratch and return. You'd be dead. You mean like if they paid you up front? Yeah. So I honestly did. I mean, like, I can't imagine they'd want to use either for voices for anything after we're gone. For me, it's less about products. I think I'd be good with like my likeness or my voice being around on like day to day or like life things. You know, I mean, like you know when you go to you go to a cross the crosswalk and there's one that has the speaker and it's like walk. Yeah. Walk walk. Yeah. Walk. You want that? I'd like to be able to put my own voice in on certain riffs or things. You could do it. Do you remember when you used to be able to do like the KFC guys voice on ways? You could put it like cool sand. This is the ways voice. I want to use my I want my voice to be used for things like that. Like airport announcements. Bar announcements. Yeah, but dude, please. Please get your bike off the front car.

There's no riding in the front car. Go giants or something like that. I like my voice to be used for like in public to be part of like the public domain and then they can make me into a horror movie like all the Danny's scary Disney movie. That's true. That's what I'm looking for. Very good to answer, Copes, but I think I'm going to cyberdarek on this one. Pay me up front here and you can use my voice after. There you go. F you pay me. F you pay me. All right. Good answer. But I like Derek's more. Okay. Go ahead, Danny. All right. Number two. Steve or DK Metcalf describes himself as a conspiracy theorist. He told Jonathan Jones of the athletic that he believes that Antarctica is another world and more specifically another civilization inside of earth. Metcalf is referring to the hollow earth theory, which is often tied to Antarctica. My question to you guys is what is the biggest conspiracy theory that you believe? All right. Copes is up first as he broke his mind. There's biggest conspiracy theory that I believe. Dude, I can turn some heads. There's no way dude got shot in his ear, right?

There's no way homeboy got shot. No, here we go. I'm just not buying it. I just don't believe it. I just can't. There's no way. Dude talks about Biden every day of his life. Dude's still talking about things for like 10 years. But you've never bring up the ear. Why do I even know that guy's name? There's no way. That's true. That's what I'm not buying. And the last one I don't want to get in any trouble. Just don't get me started on scouting here, so all right? I'm not going to take a stand off here. I'm not going to take a stand. No, no, no, no. I'm just like, you know, show me the weapon. You know, that's all right? You bring it on here, OK? I don't know. I'm trying to want to point home. You know, I'm trying to win the dips for once, all right? Yeah, we're once. We're not going to talk about the ear ever, right? The ear, the ear, the ear, the ear, the ear, the ear, the ear back like I'm over it. That's all I got. That's all I got in the conspiracy theories. All right, I got two. That and Roger's wife, but I just created a way. Well, I figured you go that route. I'm going to say, I think LBJ was involved in JFK assassination. I believe that for years because then he gets the presidency.

But the one I've always said, I think is true. Am I buddy Andy Young will back me up on here. We've heard a lot about this. I think, I don't think this is controversial by any means. I think Courtney Love is responsible for Kirk Cobain's death. OK, that's one. That is one. If you look at all the evidence there, he was not given a suicide note or anything. I think we're at Danny right in this question. He's like, we're looking for Moonland. Yeah, I know. I'm going like really dark here. I know. I'm talking a mirror from 30 years ago. No, I think there's some evidence to back up that Courtney Love responsible in some former fashion for Kirk Cobain's death. But that's just my opinion, man. Oh, sorry, Derek, you know what that means? The daily death. It's bull crap. Copes gets the point on that one. And all daily points awarded stand as Danny's endorsement of my of my theories. Yeah, there you go. Danny also has questions about what I'm questioning. I was a little disappointed that he didn't go Roger's wife. Well, dude, I mean, it was a tea to perfectly with DK Mc that I thought it was, but yeah,

he didn't and he said shout out my quarterback and all that. That's true. That was my first thought when I saw that was why am I holding my mic and and how come DK McAf or how come nobody's met Roger's wife? Who's responsible for this? What's the conspiracy here? As far as your mic. Yeah, I think that's all you, man. I saw that happen. I think it's all human. It's not me. It just fell off. Well, hopefully someone will fix that. I don't know. You mean to write a ticket? Yeah, exactly. All right. Go ahead. One to one question. Three. Steven A Smith a while back ranked the best days to get it on. So my question to you guys is a rank your top three days of the week or weekend for football. And also, what is the worst day of the week for football? Ooh. Okay. The best days of the week for football. I mean, it's Sunday. The whole sport is dedicated to one day. We all want to watch football on Sundays. You get Sunday ticket. You can watch all day long. Yes. Sunday is the best day for football. The next best day? Probably Monday night because that tradition we've all grown up, coming back home from school, watching Monday night football. I would say, and then it's our, you said the top three days?

Yeah, top three days and then the worst day. I ain't Saturday, you know, for college football. I mean, like the weekends, you know, prime for football, obviously. You spend the whole day glued to your TV. So worst day, Thursday, because it just sneaks up on you. You don't set your fantasy line up. You don't get Tuesday, football that much or Wednesday, football that much. It's usually just for the holidays. But for me, hands down, it's Thursday because I don't know the week just sneaks up on you like that. And you know, for me, I forget my fantasy line up sometimes. We're still working. We missed the beginning of Thursday night football. I'm used to it Monday night football Sunday all day long. Thursday to me is the worst day for football. I, I don't agree. I agree on Sunday. I agree Sunday being the best. You know, it's funny as a kid. I didn't like Sundays all that much because I was like, I mean, right before school, you start thinking about home working only get 60 minutes coming on at night. I'm like, I got that tick in with McVey on that sort of sort of sweating about not doing my homework. I love Sunday mornings because it's the best. You look forward to it all week long, especially early on this week. Almost a full slate of games. It's a blast. I'm going to go to the opposite of you.

I do love Monday night football. Who does it? You got to get back to work on Monday. It's rainy. It's cold. You're like, damn this. But at least I got a game tonight. I can win in my fantasy matchup with Thursday nights to me have shortened the week. Thursday, anybody who's ever gone to college knows that's the new Friday. Thursday's the day I started to look forward to because I was like, dude, that means I got one more day where I can half-ass it on a Friday and then I got the weekend. Then I'm just another day from football. I like to shorten the week by Thursday. Kind of like how the best part of the four-day week and the three-day weekend, the hidden silver lining is the four-day week after. I like to shorten the week with football on Thursday and the quality of the product has gotten better. Dan? All right. I hope I'm going to agree with you on that one. I think that Thursday's our great day for football. It's like, yeah, it's like the weekends. It's even better tomorrow. We're going to do we had a three-day weekend in a Monday. We had a show today. We had football tomorrow. We got a Wednesday night football. Into Thursday. Danny, are you giving him the point? Yeah. Yeah, I'm giving him the point. Well, your question was, what are your top three days for football? He did not give that answer though. Oh, he won me over.

Fine. Oh, sorry. We got to go. Oh, you're trying to tell the teacher now that I didn't say. The way you want to answer. Apparently, that's the best course of that. For the time. You haven't answered the question. And Danny's like, nah, I just liked it more. I haven't noticed. Yeah, I've noticed. Moving on here. I've noticed. All right. Just ask. Football season is upon us. And with that comes a ton of extra activities like fancy football, pick them, pick them pools and probably one of the most frustrating one, the survivor pool. Oh. What is your strategy and the survivor pools to last a long? Oh, great question, Dan. I won one last year, actually, in a wall survivor pool. My strategy is almost always fire your bullets. I never understand people that are looking at like wheat like this week. I'm looking at the best matchup for the best team I can find and I'm firing it. People will be like, oh, but I want to save the bills. I want to use the Rams a little bit later. And I'm like, that's fine. If you got some really cupcake games early on, but I'm not going down with like the bills in the chamber or with Joe Burrow against some some piss poor AFC team thinking about the Raiders. I don't know why in the chamber. I want to fire my bullets early.

And if I go down and I go down with a good team, that's fine. The other thing is I avoid Thursday night matchups and I try to avoid divisional matchups. Short week games have gotten me screwed in the past. Divisional games are too weird. They're too much of a coin toss. The gap in the talent discrepancy doesn't have to be all that big for the underdog team to get a victory. I'm looking for an out of division Sunday or Monday matchup and I'm firing my best teams that I can fire early on. I'm not going to wait and bank on something that they never come across. I preach where I get there. Okay, I believe I won. Well, it's survivor. Polar split. I finished second them. You may have been I collected money. I collected money. So maybe I was well totally different strategies here because I do save my bullets. I'm all about using the crappy teams early and then using the greater teams later. Like last year I've got who won week one or who I use, but it's always about like which team you think is going to be bad this year, but use them early like this year. I'm all out the Raiders week one. They should beat the Miami Dolphins. The rest of the Raiders schedule brutal. They'll probably go one and seven and then trade Max Crosby, but I'm looking at that

matchup against the Miami Dolphins. I'm feeling pretty good about that Kirk cousins. If Gentie plays Brock Bowers, the Raiders should win that game. If you use, I don't know, if you use the bills off the bat or the Rams, like that's too dicey. Rams versus 49ers saved that for when the Rams are playing a crappy team or the Arizona Cardinals. So for me, it's always use the crappy teams first and then save the good teams. And I didn't win last year, Danny. Well, I did so I wasn't using a division. I didn't say fire the Rams this week. International game. I wouldn't do that. Anything that's going to add an extra factor. Go ahead, Danny. What you got? Derek, that's a hell of a thing taking the Raiders in the week one. I don't know. Against the Dolphins though. The Dolphins are terrible. How many Dolphins? How many Dolphins? Why my buddy asked me this last week? How many Dolphins wide receivers can you name? Malik Washington. That's the one I had. Yeah. That's it. That's all I do. Greg Dolchitch is the title. That's like the only of her name I said I'm a Lee Williams. I knew to chew out. Well, he's back on the Rams. Yeah, I'm sticking back. I have no idea. Greg Dolchitch is the title. Malik Washington is one of the apparently they have Jayland Tolberg. Oh, I didn't know that. All these skinny slot guys.

Yeah, that's all they're like why like why receiver threes Caleb Douglas is another one. And Chris Bell. The rookie for the rookie. He's one of the maybe look forward to. Outside of that, I was looking at the way he said to me and I was like, that's hilarious. I don't know. They're trying to lose, man. Yeah. Well, it's a bold strategy. Derek, I'm going to give it to you to point to you on this one. Fair enough. Yeah. I'm going to get a game. You don't want me to win it in four. Two last one here. The NFL has had games all around the world for the past 20 years, including the UK, Germany, Mexico, Canada, Brazil, Ireland and the first games this year in Australia and France. Of the nine countries that they've played in, where would you want to visit the most to catch a game and why? Ooh, okay. That they've played so far. Yeah. Okay. Um, like a recap. Yes, just real quick. Because we're not time. Okay. UK, Germany, Mexico, Canada, Brazil, Ireland, Australia, France. I would choose Brazil because I think Brazil's pretty nice. They got that Jesus statue.

We know why you would. Yeah. You like fun. There's an ass man. Yeah. Um, I'm a butt man. I want to go to the beach, see some thongs. We'll see. Three. Just being honest. Honest evil gets you everywhere anywhere in life. So yeah, I like butts. Want to see some butts to catch some football. So I got to go see some football. So I got to go see some football. I don't know. I don't know. I don't think I've got to go. I've been in Mexico, I've been in Mexico. I don't know, the safest place to think in the world to visit and that heritage. They're my sisters visiting there. I just want to go to France anyway. Would be awesome to go to France and see a game. It's funny because I don't really associate in my mind going to see an NFL game in one of these places. Right. Yeah. It's such an American culture thing to do in another place. But France, because of the food, would be incredible. food, the history, the museums would be awesome. There'd be a ton of stuff to do outside of just go seeing the game. Seemingly travel would be pretty fun around France. You know, Paris, you get the full city there, I full tower, the Louvre and all that. I think that would be the best plus to all you're doing is eating bread and cheese the whole time. Mm hmm. Don't get Derek start on making pasta. That's Italy. No, no, no, no, you're not

doing that. I think that go Paris and I think that's one that they'll probably go back to more than once. I think so too. Well thought out answer their coats, but Derek likes butts. I'm going to give it to him on that one. And I can't I'm the dips. Okay. Yes. All right. I just lose. Sometimes being a creep pace. Yeah. I'm sure. Right. By the way, circling back to the survivor, it was funny. There was one year where where Kruger was in a Waltz pool and he had two of the pit. He had two teams. Yeah. Same one. And he picked the same team because he was so cute. Oh, it was so confident. Tom did that for years in Waltz pool as well. I don't understand the strategy. Why have two of you just going to use them both on the same one? I don't like that. That's Danny's double dips. This isn't funny anymore. Uh, on a two-stay evening out of Oakland. Derek Papa, Danny done with you. Well, then a quick break. When we come on back, we get you ready for Giants pregame, the Giants and the Cardinals game two of a three game series.
