You made her power stand the base? I didn't make her do anything. Oh yeah? I did not make her do anything. Oh you didn't help? Well I wasn't going to help because it's not my real house in B.I. didn't want to. I could have made it you were. He watches shows, he naps, and will occasionally gross me shots.

1:01I part against great husbandry. That'll do us proper use of the word. This is D.P.H.R.O.N. Rothenburg. Fun? You might have been fun. I don't know if I gave fun. On ESPN, New York. The MSG network and streaming live on YouTube. Oh yeah, this is a big 9 o'clock hour. It's the opening day of football. There's no music thing. It's kind of depressing. It is a little bit. I guess. He was an artist. Yeah, he was a musician. I mean, it's like it upsets us. What it is. Raymond must be like, you know, well, it upsets us. I don't feel like a very creative person. I feel like this saps half my creativity. Yeah, it's not great. Maybe take up drawing or something. Maybe. Would you do like a paint by numbers? Like a, like a five is he so slow that he can't do a paint. No, I mean just to get his feet wet. Why did you finger paint, right? I mean he can't just numbers. What if he's Bob Ross and we don't even know it. I think you would know. But I'll make the little turkeys with a hand for the trick. Yeah, I mean, like yes. I guess.

2:02I mean, he's some glue. What does he look like? Billy Madison. No, he doesn't look like Billy Madison. Well, then why you just treated him like that? I did not. I'm just paint by numbers. He's a 40 year old man. So if I painted it, I'd have to be by numbers because you're Dave. I couldn't go out there and like, right? Right. You want to paint the naked body? Yeah. With my fingers. That would be nice. That would be. You like the opposite of Liam Mason? I mean, take it. Expect that the puppy was a dog. Get your ass out there and you find that bleep and dog. Liam Mason had certain skills. Oh, yeah. You have very limited skills. Yes. Yes. But the skills I have are lethal. Like what was you? If someone was taken, what was it? And you made that phone call. What exactly would you say? I will find it. And do one. That will verbally burrow you. And I will politely ask him a job. I will find you and I will mock your appearance. And I will name every former child.

3:03And I will tell you where all your friends went to college. And you will test me where they went to college. And if I win, I will get my child, then you will release my child. Yes. Oh, that'd be funny. Yeah. By the way, I wanted to bring this up the other day. I'm trying to be crazy. You don't know if you feel the same way or not. Because I never asked you this. Watching all the college football. When they come out to the field and they're all fired up and everything is going crazy. Yeah. The coaches need to run out to the field. Like, do they need to see that? No, I don't need to see that. Why? I don't need to see that. Just let it be about the players. Because these coaches are big egos in college. Unbelievable. Real big egos. Cool. They know what's on it. We'll get to judge in a second. Who's impressed you so far? I mean, obviously LSU. I mean, LSU was the big one. Yeah. Yeah, that they had just the weather delay and all this. Okay. Or you know what? Who hasn't impressed you? They want to think. Underwood. Michigan. He's terror. I don't understand what happened there. I wasn't good at all. He looks like he was a woman to begin the like the first half of the day was. If you don't play well, you win by 30. I don't power five. Yeah. Right. That's fine.

4:04It's understandable. I didn't even miss that good. Defensively. I do like Chandleston. Oh, he's sure like him. But I thought defensively they were really bad. War to stay does no longer Florida state. Nope. Clemson stinks. I don't know what happened. I don't know if it's just they haven't they attacked the transfer portal the way that they. I think but Clemson as we know them though, like the Sean Trevor Lawrence. I don't think that that exists anymore. I think it doesn't. Right. I mean, it's almost talking about a fire in the devil. You just think the bio is too much. I wonder how long Belichick's he got to get a Carolina too. If they don't have picked that was Pat. Pat picked them to win the all I know because the ounce came running and he goes, look on McAfee has. He's got. He can't understand college football. Like yeah, I said that's also Miami. Oh Miami. Look great. Yeah, look good and offensive. They're they're all right. Tony is a. He's a problem and maybe right he's right there. It's gonna be those. It's those men so we're right there as well. I'm interested to see because there's two on paper really good games this week Oklahoma Michigan and then the best one is Texas. I'm interested to see what Michigan looks like.

5:05Because you had an awful game. Now you play in a legitimate. You get a brief. You get a chance to show yourself again. If you stink again, you might just be a really bad team. RJ. Hi. How you doing? Good. Good. You're a double. You're a double. Swinney's a bio is 57 million. Oh my god. Devils. Devils also propped up by two coordinators that were there forever. You mentioned you mentioned Oklahoma. I mean, that was a. Vennables was this guy forever. Yeah. Yeah. Fred Vennables, right? Yeah. I mean, Oklahoma. I. I don't know what the number is on that game. I mean, would you say Michigan, Oklahoma? Yeah. I have no where's the game. Do we know? I think it was an Oklahoma last year. It's just as probably in Michigan this year would be my guess. I would be surprised if Michigan scores more than 10. I was going to. Yes. And I have no idea. I'm going to say Michigan is favored by two. Right. You looking up the number? No. I got it right here. I'm sorry. Of course I got it right here. You know, I got it right here. Right now, currently as we sit, it is Oklahoma laying five and a half.

6:06Wow. Yeah. Michigan. They're going to roll. Wow. That's the overrunner. What's the overrunner? Can't be high because I would expect the overrunner in that game is 43 and a half. Yeah. I this has like. This has like 28 to seven or what's the Ohio State Texas number? Let me guess. Let me guess. Okay. I like when you get yourself all worked up. I'm going to say it's. Pick them. No. Incorrect. It's at Texas. Yeah. Texas is currently laying a point and a half over under 49 and a half. It's right there. Right there. You're right. I meant to. I don't do it before. He went to Duke and prior to that. He went to Tulane. And I've seen him every stop. He's awesome. I'll give you. And if you remember last year, this was the guy that I was brave enough to reach out to Mel on the side about. Jaden Mayava. Yeah. Big fan. Yeah. Big fan. They're defense not so good. No, I don't think they're going to be that good. But USC is a 30 and a half point favorite this week. Who are they playing this week? They're playing Louisiana. That's university of Louisiana. The region Cajuns.

7:06Okay. Yeah. So when does Heather Denich start doing? No, I love that. I can't wait to get her on spots with us. Allegedly. She's really good tomorrow. We're working some scheduling out hoping tomorrow. Tomorrow. Yes. That's nice. There's been some discussion. Hoping tomorrow. And by the way, we have a big guest coming up on Mondays. Is that locked in on paper? Yes. Tracking this individual down. Sometimes challenging because I'd love to announce something like that. So I think it's a big deal. So I think you could announce it, but it's also a, I would just like to hear from the individual. Just one time. But I don't think it's an awesome. Does he have a handler? He did. Why are you laughing? It's big stars. He has to have handlers. You want to say something so bad. I know you do. I know he did have a handler as recently as last year where I wonder if sometimes if the handler also has some trouble. The handler, even the handler can't get in touch. It's just like pre week one.

8:06I expect to have him. Yes. Why do you make the announcement? I don't think that's my place. You want me to make it? Did you don't tough guy? Oh, well, you made it. I didn't say anything. Well, you didn't, but he did. So we believe in a perfect world. Yeah. Rex Rionley back with us in a weekly capacity. He looked like a slap. He didn't. On Mondays. Is that accurate to say? That is accurate to say. Big news. Jazz hands. I mean, this is like our, our, it's our white whale. We lost. We had a quarterback like you. And to end it in theory, having back, he could be a little, little frisky pre week week one though. When I said don't play the slappies. I've missed. I've missed him a great deal. Yeah. Oh, how many times I had to bring this up in the last couple of years? You're, you're big Rex guy. So you know what else we got to do? Where are we with field? Are we working with field? No, field is not going to work out. Field's not going to work out. So you will hear field on the show occasionally. But he's not going to lock it on a weekly. His mornings are other jammed. And did we figure out Connor Rogers?

9:07He'll be on. Are we going to have him weekly? Not weekly. Not weekly, but we will have. We will have him a good. I mean, I don't know if anyone won the summer more than, maybe Jordan. Jordan had a pretty great. You think Jordan relaxed. No, you know, you relax. Jordan is a wonderful guy. He went on a mancation with his buddies and pretended like it was work for two weeks. It was a Fred house. I was there for the entire camp. Well, what was he supposed to do? Drake has face off and played golf every day. What was he, he sent down to, you, you know what went for ginger. I was waiting for it. And green by his beautiful. And yeah, I heard it. There's nothing there but a lot of green. It's beautiful in the fifth. There's literally nothing else there. And he didn't stay at the green briar. Already stayed at a house with his buddies and Drake and played golf all day. Okay. So what is his most, watch football practice? With the guy selling moonshine in the house next door or something. What is he supposed to do? Not, not act like it was this unbelievable like feet of strength that he stayed there for two weeks. I'm not going to sit here and spare his wife. Jordan, is at home watching the kid by herself. If two kids, two kids by herself, you don't know Jordan. Yeah, we want to know Jordan.

10:08What? I don't want to know Jordan. He's great. By the way, other news, special news. Gary, softball team champions. Oh, that's nice. Yeah. Were you involved? Did you play one game? I didn't, I was supposed to go on one day. It was too late. I'm sure he's short. It's far. It's far. That's the black socks. That's the team. Yeah. Champion's again. Good. I promise I'm playing. Yeah, you won't. I'm going to play at least one game. Yeah. Nice. Sent this all the nice swag. Yeah, it's nice. Maybe I'll wear something tomorrow. Maybe I'll take myself out and a little black socks, paraphernalia. Something else I want to ask, RJ, now I don't remember. All right. Well, how you doing, RJ? Really good. Good. All right. So Aaron Judge. He's much more relaxed today. Yes, today was a tough good. Yeah, I know, RJ. He was very safe. It was asked to do a lot. Oh, and I think that he was being pulled in a lot of different directions. He gets himself all worked up. I know. That's not healthy. It's not healthy. No, my watch told me not a healthy day yesterday. Oh, really? Yeah. Today, much healthier. What do you have like a whoop?

11:08No, I said funny. No, I have a garment. A whoop is the thing, but I have a garment. No, I know it's what all the golfers wear is the whoop. Yeah, they're great. My boy said that. It tells me today I'm actually getting some energy energy to the positive. Which means I'm more relaxed state. You never look at the sleep. If you got a handler, you'd be much more relaxed. That's true. I do look at the sleep. Oh, I said you look at the, what is this? It's like three hours to two hours. Nine. Four hours. No, it's actually not resting heart rate right now. 57. Pretty good. That is good. You know, mine wasn't the hospital. 45. That's not good. They're like, are you not satisfied? Are you an elite swimmer? Well, it's fine if you're an elite athlete. Yeah. But he has some elite swimmer. You know, sleep. You scream elite swimmer. Elite swimmer. So bang for your buck. My sleep squad yesterday. 65. He's very, he's very familiar with that. Sleep squad, 65. Not a great score, but when you factor in the situation and then you can add the napkin. Not terrible, passable, I would say. Okay, it's not great. Everything you see on everything the pops open my feet on.

12:08It's just like how you've been dying. And if you sleep less than six hours, like you're doing yourself like real harm. I'm doing fantastic. Oh, yeah. I'm sure you're asking. You know what time this guy was going to get to judge it a second. This time was coming in last week. Yeah, I heard the one show he was there. Oh, he was waking up about like two 30 in the morning. I was concerned about things. I was like, I'm like, I'm going to be great. He could have driven it at four 30s. The party is leaving us at two 45. Crazy. Anyway, all right. So judges back. It was rusty. That's fine. They win the game. It's a perfect landing spot. Colorado stinks. What's strange to us. And it's going to take time. And is it going to be we don't know we don't know. Buster doesn't know. Judge doesn't know. The Yankees don't know. The doctors don't know. We have no idea. The thing that jumped off the page to us. Was Aaron judge sounded legitimately annoyed in some of these answers from yesterday. So let's take a listen. Is it which one is the the one where he gets annoyed about not being in? Is it how did you feel? Yeah. All right.

13:08So how did you feel? Listen to this. And I don't tell us that Aaron judge is not annoyed here. So great. If we have a game, I don't know what to say about that. I think you had a long conversation about that with the manager when he went to take you out. How hard did you play to just stay in there for a whole night? I respect Looney. So whatever he says, I'm going to do. But I'm not happy about it. But that's where my guy Ramos picked me up and had a nice little three run home. We're there to kind of put the game out so we can be comfortable going into the last inning. But yeah, not too happy about it. He's annoyed. And the thing that's so striking is they had to have had this conversation before. They had to think you would think. You would think I mean, he's I mean, he's one of the best players in baseball. I mean, he is your captain. He's the face of your franchise. He's one of the faces of baseball. He's going to be right. If you win a World Series, it's going to have to do a lot with him. You know, coming back and staying healthy. I'm shocked that this wasn't a plan that was already discussed before he played last night. And if it was a plan that was discussed and then he acted like that. Why are you playing the game now? That's strange.

14:08I don't think it was a one person questioning what was taken so I was a concern of the game. You could concern. Of course, and it should be. Is this more serious than people are making it out to be because we all know what kind of player Aaron Judges and then he wants to be on the field with his teammates. But like to think that he went into last night not knowing exactly what that plan was. It's not possible. It would like the other clip you played before was like, I was going to come back two months ago. Really? Yeah. I think that's this one I'm taking so long to get back into the mix with the Yankees. I want to come back a couple months ago, but I'm not a trainer. I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that. I have to check whatever boxes they got. So a box that they wanted me to check was life hitting. So I said, perfect. We'll do that on the off day. It's like I'm playing. Come back two months ago. It sounds like it's almost like contentious. Which, the strange thing about that is, it never sounds like that with him. Outside of the one time where they gave some injury news that he didn't want to be put. So he got to agree with, it doesn't sound like they're on the same page here. What the recommendations from the trainings after the doctor has been. Like, I tell them one thing is like, no, I'm good. I mean, you tell me what is it? It sounds like there's a legitimate issue between Aaron judge.

15:11It's what it sounds like. Maybe we're reading too much into it, but I don't know why you would say it, but why would you say it the way you said it? I don't know. Let me come on. This is not a young, first of all, the Yankees are not known as a team that does things like this, especially with their best player, especially with their most important player, that they would mess around and just like, hey, you're playing today and then all of a sudden out of nowhere, be like, no, that's it. You're out. It doesn't make any sense. No, it'll never make sense. This is what's going to happen. You're going to play for this many Yannings, you'll start in right field, probably you hopefully get three at bats and then we're going to play you. Which you did. And then we're going to move it in different direction. So did he look rusty? Yeah. So what? First of all, I mean, there's two pitches that are just hanging in there that he usually crushes the, and maybe it's going to be a struggle for him. Maybe it will. Maybe he won't be Aaron judge. Spent three months, right? But let's, but no one has given him a hard time. This, this, like the way he sounds, it says if he's reacting to people, it's how you would, how would you expect, it's, it's how you would expect, Stanford to answer questions. Yes. Like where people started to question whether or not you even want to play anymore.

16:12Right. And stand under the gun because people are so angry at him. Nobody's angry at a judge. They're just desperate to have the return of Aaron. That's it. And he sounds very upset. They just want him back. And when he's back, they need him to stay back. Yes. And they need him to be Aaron judge or, or, or, a semblance of what we've, I guess, maybe, I guess, maybe, now he says a couple months, but I guess maybe, that could be some level of frustration if they were, if they were playing the game where it's like, listen, we're going to be a playoff team. We don't need to rush you back and try to chase down Tampa. As long as you're back, whenever you're back, we don't care where we finish. As long as we have you, we're in good shape. And that may be the part of the doctors and that spot. If you're the, like you have the best, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's going to be the trainers and the doctors on that. If the doctors say, yeah, he can come back. He'll be fine. Then if you want to come back, you come back. If they say, no, no, no, we're worried in the more, you know, swings and, and at times you take the light more likely it is that you're going to have a real problem, then I understand managing this. But to have the, this response is very strange.

17:15Sometimes it's hard for the athlete to see the force through the trees. Yeah. Where it's like, no, no, I'm good. I can be back. That's what we're not good. Like this kid, oh no, I won't, I can just, I'll be fine. I won't, I won't dive. Come on. But we know you're going to dive. Right. I feel like wherever we used to have the conversations, Jacob DeGrom shouldn't be throwing a hundred and one all the time. Okay. Yeah. Sure. It's easy to say that you get out through the heat of battle and it's like, oh, what happened? So this is all two feet in front of you. You think you have a real chance to catch if you dive, but you're going to, you're going to pull up. No. So they're protecting him from him. And maybe there was a level of frustration like it says, it's too much. But I mean, at the end of the day, we all recognize how important he is. And if he got for a bit comes back and does, you know, a bit too early and a swing or making a plan right field. Now, Luke, yeah, you're losing for the season. Now what? Well, you know exactly what? Then they're, they're hopes go right up here to weigh down. Let's go quick and then we'll get to RJ stuff you missed. Then we'll do a frenzy on the other side. Dan and Jersey. Good morning, Dan. How you doing, buddy? Good morning, Dave. Good morning, Rick. How are you guys on this first NFL Wednesday?

18:17Uh, has a ring to it, huh? It's all boy. Does it? I did my predictions this morning. Oh, yeah. What did we give us to do? Yeah. Buzzard right through all of them. Yeah, give us a day. I'll give you the fourth. I have the giant's going 10 and 7 and beating Philly in the wild card round and then losing to the Rams and the division. Oh, God. Um, I have Dallas going eight and nine and missing the playoffs. Yeah. I have the Niners going seven and 10 missing the playoffs. There's too many injuries with the Niners. That's scare me and them not being able to have all their some of their parts scares me and then I'm sorry, Rick. I have the Jess going five and 12. Well, I don't think you far off with the jets. Yeah, you're probably right there with the jets. I think if you're going to apologize to anyone, apologize. I said, yeah, RJ, he has you. You're nine is going seven and 10. That would not be good. That would not be stunning. Are you too bad that the reverse hasn't happened when like you, you practiced by a power plant that all of a sudden you become like super power. Yes, super power. All of a sudden you're like your iron man. No, it ever gets hurt like toxic waste. What else you got to add anything else?

19:17It's toxic Avengers. Very well. I'm so funny. So funny. Oh, you think of you. God, I did. I didn't pick him. I think they're going to be good. All right, then focus out. Go. Okay. So I'm very high on the Yankees right now. I think that Joe is very high. If you look at some of his swing speed, some of his swing speed last night, he's 79.8 miles an hour. He's in average with 76.2, which was below his career norm. This is more where his career norms are. So if the body responds well, I think that he's going to come back within the next few weeks and really start to click. And I think once this team gets going, they're going to the world series. I think there's no team in the American league that is better than them as currently constructed with the starting pitching that they have. They came fully right now as the second best pitcher in baseball and he's the best pitcher in the American league. Garrett Cole, freed Rodan. And then you're both in with the guys like Weathers, Clark Schmidt. I just think this team's going to the world series. I'm confident. It's brought the most confident. I've been to 24. All right.

20:17That's good. How would you write the Yankees starters most confidence from top to bottom? I'd go Slitler one. I'd probably say call it two free three Rodan for there. All right. Good stuff, Dan. Appreciate it. Thanks for the predictions. Giants going 10 and seven. I like that. That's fancy. Making the playoffs and I think the money if the Giants make the playoffs and beat the Eagles. Oh, yeah. I don't know what I'll do. Everyone else is team stay not safe for TV. Yeah. Downs is eight nine. RJ Steve is seven and 10. I'll be the only one about 500. I'll be swinging a big stick. It'll take me back. Dan, what do you want to say today? I'm very high. Are you ready with your NSPC? And then we'll get to our day. We're not as nasty. No. Yeah. We're not as great men. He's nasty. Are you? I'll take the segment off. I don't need to ask him questions. Don't be mean to renon. You like the information now. I don't need the information. RJ right after NSPC, you're going to go with the stuff. If he strokes out again, don't be mean. I got I got yelled at big time when I was walking the limping around. So you got to get to these guys.

21:18What are you doing? What are you waiting for? Get in the MRI. What are we waiting for? What do we have in it? I don't know. I just have a it's I'm allowed to get one. I just need to pick out time. I don't have much time, buddy. You can go get in my right. Okay.

25:26ERA down to 2.01. That's the best in the America. He's got to be him right. Saya. I know Cease is the only other one that could be in the mix. And I guess if Toronto is able to sneak in but it, I mean Schlippler has been so good all year. You'd rather not have bedener have to come to that game either last night. Yeah no I didn't love that. But you would hope that you wouldn't need to use him a lot in this series so you know you get the sweep against Colorado. Yeah absolutely. Alright Yankees remain 4 behind Tampa. They are 3 ahead of Boston with the way Yankees clings their 34th straight winning season. That's the second longest run. You know American Major sports also done by Yankees. That's the most. I was like, how about you ERA had to come into this game late. Jazz Chisholm Jr. in the 9th. Jam just right thumb on a slide head first. And some of the kids could need some imaging. Aaron Boone said it depends on how he wakes up this morning and how he feels. Also you guys mentioned Aaron Judge about going back and forth maybe being a little testy with some of the injury stuff because as you're playing it I was like, I feel like I've heard this before. So this was Aaron Judge on July 27th asked about his status.

26:29Nothing new. The few as far as I got another 4 ahead. Because at the time I was like, huh sounds a little kind of not perturbed but you know whatever. So I was like, oh maybe he's just battling me back. And then this was what we could do later August 5th. You have a target day. I got another 4 ahead on that. I just got this game yesterday and the minute they said, alright we're going to start running this and okay I'll see you outside. Kind of forced them on that one. We'll never get a game. We'll be somewhere on the list. He does sound different. Just a little. Yeah he sounds annoyed. It's one of those words. One thing is not a big deal but you know everything is something is everything. So as for the match Jumminaya, look at early retired source 15 battered French school indoor one. Settle home early. Mets beat the Maryland 7. 5. Brett Bady also homeers drove in two runs for the match with one three straight. 5. 6 and you're out of the basement and the and all the time. How about that? Everything is something as we said. Baker's got a whole lot of somethings and those somethings are money.

27:32Quarterback deal done. Three years. $165 million. Million dollar extension to remain with the box. After seeing the dollar amount like 55 million year, I have a genuine like what were they fighting about? A year's he got three years. Yeah I'd find out with initially off room two. Okay. So he wanted four or five I guess? Yeah. They agreed on his home now. It's a good quarterback. Brian calls me all the time. It's he's a week. I guess why just saw as like who he's a maybe a maybe walking his dog. Like awesome. They live that close to each other. Yeah. How has he made the approach yet? Oh, I know. No. No, I think he's made the approach. He's a jetsman. Yeah, but so what? He's not changing. Would you be dead? If I lost Brian to the box. Yes, he would be. Yes. And then he'd he I'd have no respect. No, it's not the kind of guy he is. No, I wouldn't think he would. No. But you say that. So he's going to be going up and left and move to Florida. So I don't know where his commitment does in fact. That is true. Aaron Donalds commitment back with the Rams. He did not travel to Australia. He will not play tomorrow. Miles Garrett, however, is ready to go. Bears are going to start Braxton Jones at left tackle.

28:33The Eagles brand new grandma don't see us returning from the NFL for a second time. Have you seen the videos of Miles Garrett learning how to hit harder? Mm-hmm. Working with it. Is that a Ritzel rugby guy he's working with? Yeah, thanks. Great. Yeah, it should be fun. They're taking on the Niners who will not have L for Collins. Delignment for them. Torrent Patel are tendon done for the year. Oh, what a terrible. Niners can't win no matter what. And they can't even torn in Australia. No, no, we're content content. We have problems. Find a way to have problems. They've actually they're hotels by a nuclear farm. Yeah. I'm practicing it. Turn over. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. They have serious financial to make a trade. According to Jerry Jones is exciting. I knew coach football AP pulls out Ohio State. It feels like it's going to be Max Crosby. No. Is that what's going to happen? It doesn't feel like it's to me. I know what are the sections they threw out there. But they already give a pick. No, what do they have next year? They've got their one next year. They have their one. So the better of Green Bay and Dallas's pick goes to the Jets. And then the other one stays with Dallas.

29:35The better of Green Bay and Dallas's pick goes to the Jets. So yeah. OK. All right. So they could lose that one. But they still have their own. OK. Coach football AP people. Those prizes Ohio State Georgia, Notre Dame, Texas, Indiana, LSU up to eight. By the way, the SEC found an amendment for authority to expel LSU from the conference. Which is the call for all spell LSU. Praise on French, which is interesting. Coach football playoff, there's certain open up negotiations. Sounds like that could be going to 24 teams. The Mac, the conference of Western Michigan also say they want to Western Michigan recognized as a winner over Michigan. Good luck with that, I suppose. Awesome. Tennis. You're right. You know what? You're right. You're right. Ben Shelton knocks out Carlos Alcaraz and they match that ended at the very doable time of 333 AM. Yeah. Very reasonable. It's OK. As Dave watched on the toilet, I did on the toilet.

30:35It's Nick away. Well, it's my home away from home now. And I, yeah, I watched the Alcaraz service game and then the tiebreaker. It started. It started after 11 is when the match started. French Geofo beats Alex Mikkelsen. Big comeback Jefferson's future wife was at it. And she left. They left at the open. They were at the Mikkelsen, Tiafo match. And then they left halfway through. Mr. Heck yeah. Just for real questions. I think so. I'm in a vow to make the semi's live golf has filed for bankruptcy and the sixers and flyers are going to get into a renaissance open in 2030. I saw that. Thanks for listening to the DP8 Rowan, Rothenburg podcast. Woohoo! Over here! Kick the show on demand whenever and wherever you want. You can't keep us up because we're everywhere. Just subscribe to us. Wait us and review us wherever you get your podcasts. It's time for a frenzy. Ah!

31:36Ah! A football frenzy. But you could say that 10,000 times. I don't know. I don't want to be enough. It fires me up, man. I love to say one more time. Ah, football frenzy. Any team, any player, any question. No. All right now, it's time for our first of the 2026 regular season, football frenzy. 800, 919, 3776. You ready to go? I'm ready. All right, here we go. Let's start out with every day Edgar. By the way, no highs, no hellos. I love the show. So happy guys around MSG. You get immediately to your question. Edgar Bloomingdale. Edgar, go. Cut a marry trash. Survive a pool. Saints at lions, cardinals at chargers, grounds at jaguars. Saints at lions. Meaning lions, right? Yeah. No, saints. Why don't he say saints? No, he said saints at lions. All right, so give me those again. Get saints at lions.

32:37You hung up. He didn't hang up. He's still on the line. Saints at lions. Chargers. Browns at Jacksonville. Zona at chargers. No, come on. Chargers. It's the chargers. It's the chargers. That's going to be by far the most chargers. Chargers is 9.5, Jackson is 8.5 for now. And Detroit 7. And Detroit 7. OK. And then I won't do it. But I'm kind of intrigued by taking the raiders against the dolphins this week. And why? Why? Because I think the way you're doing this though, I'm not. I'm going to do it. OK. I'm going to take the same person that when you normally ask, you go, don't play games in week one. I'm going to take the chargers. I said I'm just tempted to. Imagine you take the giants and they just beat the cowboys. How good would that be? But that happens. I'm going to go crazy. I'm just telling you Monday, giants win. I'm going crazy. Can we not just have a promo that runs all season long? How about what you're going to do to me? I can't help the fact that they don't refresh the promo. So that's not on me. What's on me? But you leveled out. I think the week before you had said, at what point do we stop with the, I'm going to take a dump on race head.

33:38And then the following week, you said it again. Ask 14, move again. And then you said again, you know what? I think another dump on your head. If the giants beat the cowboys, there we go. And here we go. This is the perfect time though. He does act up. How skinny he is and how frill he is. You don't want to talk to me. You don't want my current dump situation on your head. The completely situational. You don't want that. Like more like a shower. Probably not. You don't want that. Steven Boaton, Steve, you're on the frenzy. Over under 10 and a half for the Dallas Cowboys. Dan. What the hell is Dan? I'm a dad. You talk about Dan from Jersey. I'm all about you, Booty Dan. Booty Dan. Dan, what do you want to say today? I'm very high. I love Dan's dad. He's a great guy. Over under 10 and a half. Raymond, I'm going to let you answer this. Over under 10 and a half for the Cowboys. 10 and a half is right there. You couldn't handle it. I'll probably go over. I think 11. I think 11 is about the number. He's so bullish on the Cowboys. It's quite confidence. All right. It's not that quiet though.

34:38It started coming out of the course. Yeah, it's oozing out of the course. I'm not pleased with the offensive lineman injury. That's not helping. That's not great. Makes one of us. Scott and Old Bridge. Scott, you're on the frenzy. Hey, who are the dolphins taking in the 2027 draft with the first overall pick? I got to think Archman. I'm going to wait and see. The fact that Archmaning still they still to this day would say that if Arch came out this year, it came out last year. He would have won over Mendoza. If he has a good season, comes out. I got to think it's going to be Arch. Archer Moore. One of those two. I think he got to wait and see. Yeah, but did you think that we did anyone know Carl Smaide Fernando Mendoza? No. Kyle and Waterford. Kyle, you're on the frenzy. Who wins the NFC North? As a tough finish. Detroit. Remember when we looked at this recently? I didn't even know that recently. And we looked at the odds. And we were all surprised that Detroit was the favorites.

35:39Parsons is hurt. I wouldn't say I know that I can only do it. I mean, this one is a pretty good team. That depends on what color Mary looks like. Because we all like it. Because the defense is good. They certainly have weapons offense. Right. The floor is a good defensive coordinator. And they have weapons offensive, huh? If Kyle and Murray's big season problem. It's a big season for KLC too, I think. After let in Sam DeRan will go. And then watch them with a Super Bowl. And Chicago's an interesting team. I mean, they feasted on turnovers last year. I'll say Detroit. I like Detroit. I like Detroit. I'm going to go with Detroit. And I have Gibbs in our fantasy. So you're going to root against Gibbs. Yeah. Yeah. Raymond, you're going to have to root against Gibbs as well. Oh, yeah. And he's going to have a fan has Aaron's brother on here all the time. Just the mock just like the piss him off. I don't know. No, I think he's got a good. OK, meccafist. All with the ball. You know, Aaron actually has a pretty good receiving court. Yeah, we'll see what he's able to do with it. James and Pennsylvania, James, you're on the frenzy.

36:42New York Giants, the current roster, win and losses. A good season, a bad season, and a great season. How many wins for a good season? How many wins for a great season? Yeah. Yeah. I guess a great season would be a great season would be the playoffs. But if the Giants won 10 games, that'd be a great season. Yeah. Yes. A good season. And he has him 10 and 7 and winning a playoff game. A good season would be a good season. Seven or eight. Yeah, I would say eight. And was it a bad season? Did he say close to third? Good. I don't know. Maybe a bad bad. I would say five. The Giants would five games. That would be highly disciplined. Again, but it's going to be. I know. I know. I know. But if the Giants were five and two, I mean, you're barely one four games last year. It's a shame they did. Right. I mean, you were sitting there at two wins. Could you imagine the hall they would have gotten if they were going to have a game against the team actively in a casino in St. Martin. Oh, it's terrible. Justin and what's happening with the phones? They're like jiggling all over the place. You see this?

37:43Yeah. Justin and Jersey. Justin, you're on the frenzy. Can you, can you shock the world and get the Falcons to the playoffs this year? No. No. I never even know how long two is going to be the quarterback. Well, I have to think when, unless two is good, when Penix comes back, he's going to be the quarterback, right? I mean, you're going to see Cooper rush. You're going to see him. Yeah, Penix is even an um, he's not even healthy. No, no, he's not active the first game. No, no, yeah, at some point he's going. Yeah, right. Yeah. All right. And then I don't want to call the Spanish because look at his glitching. It's something's happening. Yeah, RJ the call screen's glitching. It's like dancing. It's well, anyway, it's excited. It's the frenzy. I think that's it. Yes, you can't blame the whole screener for that. So Raymond, let's blow that.

You're now allowed to get into the airport gate area and on your own visit terminal restaurants

40:58and the shops. It's how it used to be, didn't it? Why would anybody ever want to do that? Would you imagine, like, what are you doing today? We're going to go hang out at the airport. We're going to go to the Jeppeloo terminal and we're going to hang out and do a little shopping. Yeah. Maybe get taken a lunch. Hey, like, why would anybody do this? Terminal five, but JFK is nice for talking Jeppeloo terminals. Instead of like, I used to go do a mall walk. Yeah. He's like an airport walk. Do you know what it's like to get into the JFK? Don't know why you'd want to put yourself through that. I don't know. Why you would go through security to get to the... Yeah. And where you had to do today? Just Wendy's right over there. Right over there is what I'm looking for. All right. So in attempting to the bookstore right over there. Yeah. Right there. I want to get a pedicure. I just want to do that. Like, we're going to have like an hour and a half before the flight. It's like, hey, I don't know. That does look nice though. Yeah, I'm not a little massage. Got a pedicure the other day. Of course she... What? Why's that bed? Tell them you shocked. Why's that bed? It's not bad. I enjoyed it. I'll show you what's... She was right next to me. Standing in the basement.

41:58No, she was right next to me. Is that like a little treat for all her hard work? She got it. I was like, hey, she was like, let me take you for a pedicure. Like relaying the foundations of the house, you're like, you know what? Let's give you a pedicure. There's nothing wrong with the man pedicure. All right. Who was it? It was her loft ski. Yeah, he's unbelievable. All three of you guys have to vote on it because obviously I'm going to throw out a couple things. I think this is awful, but not that. I'll just tell you the long train to nowhere. I would have to get on a train. You guys would pick the location I would do like live hits. No. Is that for a punishment? Yeah, that's stupid. Really? If I took like a train to why though? But I don't know because it's because it's a punishment. I mean, why? It's a punny. You're just sitting on the train though. How would one like I take a train to Buffalo? You take a nap though. Like what is the punishment? You get a phone. What do you get hang out? RJ, you see that as a punishment, right? Taking a five hour train ride to nowhere. RJ has two children. I don't think that'll get signed off. Apparently, he has any time himself. I'm sure RJ slips away to the bathroom for like a get extra couple minutes to just like

43:02look at his phone by himself. Oh, if I told, if I told the engine, I was like, hey, I'm going to take a train ride to know what I don't have little children. And if you like it, that's a punishment. I'm not, I'm not. I mean, let me do it. I think this is the answer. That might be date night. I know you guys train to nowhere. I know you guys will freak out. You choose my custom license plate. Now we're talking. That's actually pretty good. What? Forever? One year. It's going to be it. It have to be a cowboy's license. It's got to be. I will say you have my attention. Yeah. Definitely have my attention. This is doable. I'm going to push that into your guys' court and you'll take your time. I wish I'm not sure I'm not sure you could put a cow. I wish there was a carpet. Waits though, because I saw this. This guy did this was hilarious for. I don't know if it was for a president or what it was for. His wife came out of the car. It came out of the house and he had wrapped the wife's car and a naked like a sexy photo for himself. And she like those, those wrappings.

44:02They yeah. If we could get a company is a car. Of course, it was going to be expensive to do. If we could get Dave's car wrapped with whatever we want, rap to need it at the driver for a year. How good that would be. That would be awful. That would be good. That now now we're talking. Well, I'm the old Han and Humpty Ford Mustang. Yeah, remember that? Trying. I think that's pretty good. If I, and I would pay for it. If I, um, who you would, yes, this is going to be really expensive. If I allowed you guys to choose a custom license plate. I think that's a win. But I'll leave it up to you guys. Not bad for your dad. Stop that. Okay. Not bad at all. I'll continue to do a little research. You'll answer on that one tomorrow. And then if that's a no, which I'm sure it will be because everything is a no. Um, I'll come up with. Okay. Is that fair? That's fair. Okay. I'm glad that you put in some work into this. I told you I want you to pay off the debt. Yeah, which is nice. Um, you're, you're, uh, your thoughts on the game tonight and then quick 30, 45 seconds. Uh, thoughts on the game tonight. I surprised you. Seattle's only three point favorites. I'm surprised we're not talking about Seattle more. After watching what they did to the Patriots last year in the football. And other Patriots did some offensive line stuff.

45:04And the other thing too is just, I mean, the Patriots side of this. You're talking about the other team that was in the Super Bowl. And I don't feel like they're getting much conversation about getting back to the Super Bowl. I think a lot of people who look like going on and say that was a flu. Yeah, it was the schedule. Right. I did you watch? I know Drake may wasn't great in the postseason, but it's again his first four reigns. They were, they were really good. I will say though that playoff run might have been about the easiest of playoff runs that you've ever seen. You know, but you're acting people act like New England all of a sudden during the soft season. Did nothing to improve their team. No, they had it on an elite. I gave her. No, they, they, they brought in. They think they're two receivers. Yeah. And they, uh, uh, uh, Henderson not playing in this game tonight. By the way, for my free will be the primary back. All right. Let's end it over to Raymond. Ready? Yeah. Let's go. Today's three stars. Number three. And we're day two on MSG. Latted people, new audience. It's not for some people. I get a nasty male from, uh, already? Yeah. Herbert balls. Herbie balls. Herbie balls. I'm a brand new listener at MSG. You've not lost me. Stop. Come on, herbie. Herbie, don't, don't quit.

46:05Herbie doesn't want us to go off topic. Spards. That's it. Get into the spards. All right. So. How'd she get it back? It bullies her for every harby. There's a Kevin. He said the tangents off of sports talk is what makes the show great. Please never change that. Herbie can take his balls elsewhere. Number two. Listen, we got to go off on tangents sometimes. That's, uh, what makes the show entertaining. And really it, it kills the stress because they're Owen too. And they, they're home to Tennessee and they lose that game. Smother me. No. We're not talking about stump Rothenberg, which it did start Owen too. No, we talked about the giants there. But listen, it is stressful for you. It could lead to problems. Stress is not good for his condition. Yeah, that's true. You know what the concern is about. Oh, my follow. I got the greatest license plate of all time by the way. Which one per day? Who sent it to you? Cassie. I'm listening. Dac the AK lover. Make it happen. My penis is fine. Number two. No, it's not. It's not. It's a double entendre though. What? It's a double entendre. Thanks. You guys really. Cassie. You guys are perfect for each other. Yeah, you guys are perfect for each other. Cassie is a great wife.

47:05No, also, it's a great wife. That's Sherry. I'm a really good husband. You made a power sandwich. I didn't make her do anything. Oh, yeah. Well, I wasn't going to help because it's, eh, it's not my wheelhouse and B. I didn't want to. No, I can't have that. I part gets great husbandry by saying you, you, you, you, you, you, you all's proper use of the word by the way. Husband tree, by the way, is defined as the occupation of art of farming, including cultivation of crops and the raising of livestock, none of which they've wrought in burglars, but maybe Sherry does because you listen. You're all about women's empowerment. I'm like Davey Anthony. I'm like, hey, night and gal. I'm like Dave Barton. Okay. Everything we should know about Dave Rothenberg was told when you give scenarios to him, like one, why would you do? Why would you do? I want to do that. She wants to stuff. She can do stuff. I'm gonna stop it if I'm doing stuff. Do whatever you want. If you pitch, take a trap, please click. I don't care, but I'm not watching football. Yeah, that's if she, if Sherry decided to take away football Sunday. If Dave's, if Sherry decided to mess around with Amazon guy, Billy, why would I be happy about that? But he would, it wouldn't end the marriage. Yeah, really. Hey, Billy, keep it down. I'm trying to watch the show.
