Shop the Ghost Am today at BrooksRunning.com. Alright, so we move into our number two. It's a three hour program. And the show is brought to you by Fandool. It is the Jim Rome show starring me. Jim Rome show. We're going to get some reaction in here. I could very clearly start the second hour with another whip of sorts. But I want to get your clones in here. So let me go to chat. The chat is on our YouTube channel. We've had so much change on the program and so much change in the infrastructure and the way we present the content. The most recent change was our move to YouTube. And that is the very best way to watch the program on the internet. It's clean. It's easy.

1:00It looks great. And maybe even most importantly, there is a chat component. You can take advantage of super chat. You can become a member of the fam for a dollar 99 a month. I'm going to be transparent about that. A buck 99 a month. You know what that gets you? So many things or one thing. A fancy little R next to your handle. Anthony J7 F9C quote. It's the opposite of the 85 bears. And I love it. Hopefully within average defense, we can do some damage in the play offs. Bear down. Let me give you my thoughts on that. You're not winning a Lamberti this year with that defense. I think you know that. I don't think even a bear is fan is going to come up in here and say, Hey, Rome, come on now. You know we can win it all this year. You're not going to win it all this year with that defense. However however, if you want to go out there and you want to hang 59

2:00on fools every single week. I'm here for it. I think it's awesome. I think they're going to be a hell of a lot of fun. And yes, they can win in the post season even with that defense. This is not their year to win it all. They're not there yet. But I'm a big believer in Ben Johnson. Obviously a big believer in that offense. The scheme, the talent, the quarterback. And they'll get better defensively. They're going to have to get better defensively. But they're going to be fun. They're already a hell of a lot of fun. And I love that this guy just has that one gear man. He is intense. He is fierce. He doubled down after they hung 59 on the Panthers. He he flat out. What's not to like about a guy who flat out is saying things like we want to it's our goal to have the best offense ever. To score the most points ever when the most games stack Superbowl. It's like this guy is he's not manifesting it. He's just saying a point

3:00blank. This is our intention. This is our goal to be the greatest offense ever to win championships. And they go out there in week one and they look like they want to back it up. And then he doubled down. I actually love it. Love it. Love it. Craig Durandal quote, they're both flowers. But Flores is better than the Flore. Clever Craig ask you. At Robert HF 2 K. I. How about them Cowboys? All S U that is big win. Big big big win. We will have their coach on tomorrow. Big big win. Oregon's already got some serious serious soul searching right about now. 24 and out point favorites. Oregon is playing less defense

4:02than even the Bears. That's not radio. Quote. It was only one week. Rome to his scale after a risk of trip. That's not fair. It's always two weeks. It's two weeks now one week. And I never say it's only two weeks. At J. Rock. Hey, can I say something right now? I'm still working off those two weeks. And it's been months. No, there aren't any fruits and vegetables and Wisconsin. That's the problem. J. Rock 8-1-1. I'm not saying it's a bust. He's just a charger. That's how they are. I'm not saying it's a bust. I'm not saying he is who we thought he was. I'm saying how the hell to get outplayed by Jacobi percent. How the hell do you lose your opener to Arizona

5:02who nobody gave any shot to? Nobody anywhere believed in that team. Coming into this season. Except maybe one or two of them within their own facility. And Michael Flora comes out and beats Harbaugh and beats Herbert. That was so impressive. And not only beats them, but beats them like that. I love that for Arizona. Who you know, the Cardinals have always been a big, big, big jungle team. Oh, and by the way, some of you want to make the point that, hey, Rome, you are not giving yourself a chance to get out of this season. Because you had Buddha Baker on. Yes, we did. Yes, we did. And Michael Flora after he was hired. See what I mean? They're a really good jungle team. And then they go out and they punch the charges right in the face. Like I said, I've seen a lot of chargeering over the years. That's about as charge or as he gets. I don't know if they lose,

6:02but how they lost. More yards overall, more rushing yards, more passing yards. Percent was just better than Herbert. They won the turnover battle. They dominated time possession. They kicked their ass is what I'm saying. Outhit, outplayed, outschemed, outcoached, outclassed. The better team won yesterday. No doubt about that. They didn't back their way into that or fluked their way into that. They called on that. They kicked their ass. Richard Torres, I1F. Coach Kubiak is a dude. Side of Raider Nation. You know what? I don't even care who they beat. Wouldn't that nice get a win? Nice to see him show some emotion coming in the tunnel. He is a dude. Kirk just thrown it all over the yard. I do like that.

7:02Let me tell you something. In terms of team content, I love when good things happen on the Raiders. I really do. It's good for content. I love when good things happen on Raider Fan and the Raiders. Action 3x. This is still in the chat. Quote, the greatest thing in radio history. The Rome YouTube Live Chat. Let me just stop on that right there. If you're not in the chat, or if you haven't seen the chat, or even looked at the chat, or even gott, or lured, go check it out. Listen to what this guy just said. And he's not the only one. The greatest thing in radio history. The Rome YouTube Live Chat. Not the greatest thing in radio history. The smack off. Not the greatest thing in radio history. The jungle. Radio history. Anything else on the radio? The Rome YouTube Live Chat.

8:02One problem with that. It's not on the radio. The greatest thing in radio history. Something that's not even on radio. Unless I read it. Go to our YouTube channel. I know that's not where some of you live. Just try it out. It's easy. Do you have a phone? Do you have a computer? Do you off of terrestrial radio? And I'm not trying to take you off of serious XM. I need all of you there too. I need all of you everywhere. I'm just saying you're missing out on something. If you're not checking out the chat. Gerald Milcham, 6041. Damn. Tyler's helmet was rolling. Imagine if there was a head in there. Signed the juice. Cut it, OJ. Cut it, OJ. Cut it, OJ. Cut it, OJ. How is it that all these decades later?

9:04Some of you still think that's how funny. I'm showing the replay right now. This is really scary. So he gets his helmet knocked loose. And then knocked off. And he's hit at the same time. Immediately goes into that fencing posture. Which is really scary. His teammates are immediately calling for medical personnel to come on the field. You don't need to be one of those online docs to know. He's already suffered a concussion because he's in that fencing posture. It's scary stuff. So the entire office is in, we're talking about Kylo Murray. It was tough to forget. Remember when they made that deal? And I started to hammer the NFL futures. And I just kept loading up on Kylo Murray MVP. Kylo Murray MVP. I hated so many times that the site that I was on at that time, cut me off. They're like, you reach your maximum. You cannot wage on the same further. Turns out they were doing me a favor. So I waited a few more weeks. And I just kept hammering it again. Hammering it again.

10:04Then 11 plays in. 11. And they weren't 11 good plays either, by the way. 11 plays in. He threw a pick. 11 plays into his Vikings career. He's concussed. And I'm like, fully invested in the future MVP. Now I'm looking around for eight. Can I bet Carson Wentz? Is the MVP? At Julie Grisco, 9256. What's up, Jules? Julie Grisco, 9256. In the chat, let's talk about the Cleveland Clowns. Hey, Jules. Let's more Lady Clowns. Julie, Julie, you must be new to it. I'm gonna let a slide. Have a take, don't suck. Or don't inform me that you want to talk about them. Just talk about them. Julie, what is your take? Let's talk about the Cleveland Clowns.

11:04Or is that your take? The Cleveland Clowns. All right, so you're a newbie. I'm gonna let that slide, Julie. Have a take, don't suck. You gotta come in here a little more aggressively than that. And by a little more aggressively than that, I mean, a lot more aggressively than that. How about the Munkin? The Munkin is already saying, like, I'll give the guy this. Right now, I'm gonna give you a slide. I'm gonna give you a slide. And by the way, this is saying, like, I'll give the guy this. Right after the game, when reporters were rushing in and asking, well, what about next week? Of course, he's going to say, I need to see the film. I need to see the film. Apparently, he's seeing the film and he saw things on the film that he liked. Look, I understand that you're an NFL head coach, and I'm just some radio knob, I filmed that you liked the munkin. You're gonna let this guy play again next week. There is no upside in running that creep out there.

12:08Why are you doing that? There is no upside. He's not doing anything positive. Why, I mean, is Shidor that bad? I find it look. I have a lot of issues with Shidor and what he can't do. But at least I want to see what the guy can do. We know what the creep can and can't do. What are we doing? What did you see on the film, the munkin? The munkin are lunch together. My lunch with you has never been more canceled than it is right now. I have never wanted to eat lunch and break bread with you, the munkin. Less than I do right now. What do you mean doing good things in the film and you're inclined to play in him again next week? Less than the munkies. Less than the munkies. Less than the munkies. The problem with lunch with the munkin. Initially I wanted to have lunch with the munkin because I thought the guy was pretty funny. I like this energy. I got a kick out of him. Now you know what that would entail? Sitting with the munkin and having the munkin tell you to your face and look you in the

13:11eye. Hey, there was some really good things in that film, basketball. Really good things. I like what I see from the creep. And the one thing I'm not going to do right now is fire myself or the other 53 guys that were out there. What? Nobody asked you about yourself or the other 52 slugs out there. We want to know about the creep and what his status is. But that was his answer after the game. Now the speculation today is he saw things in the film that he liked. What? What did you see? Eric in the south side quote clowns aren't nearly as creepy as the browns. Clowns. Got a point there Eric. They're both super creepy. Honestly. Like clowns are really creepy.

14:12That's why people don't like clowns. I don't mean the Cleveland clowns. I mean actual clowns. That's what his joke is. Clowns are nearly as creepy as the browns. When we all know clowns are creepy. Clowns. No nice clowns. Clowns are creepy as hell. Not nearly as creepy as Dishon or the rest of the browns. But good point is creepy as clowns are they're not as creepy as the browns. All right there you go. Nice job. We're going to react. One more before I go to break. Brad from Reading. Hi Jim. I really don't have a lot of defense or offense today. Tell the Cardinals to get a life. Yours smack harboh. I'd like to wish everybody out there a very happy holiday. And I don't really have a whole lot of smack to say today. It's a holiday and they're a piece of the harmony.

15:13Kind of like fuzzy and tiger playing in the masters. But I don't wish everybody in their families a happy holiday. Except for some of your clones you don't really have families and are behind in their child support payments like your boy Sean and Sarah Cuse. Tell that clone to get a life. That actually happened. That was Jim Harbaugh in the smack off once. Can you believe that actually happened? It's a refus. The problem is he brought about as much to that game yesterday as he brought to the smack off that year way back when. What's the fact this day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind? Keep. Can you, I mean, is that look back on my career and the jungle brand? That's right near the top of the list. That Jim Harbaugh was in a smack off. That we were tight enough and he was good enough for the show and knew the show well enough that he actually participated in the smack off one year. Now granted it was one of the worst efforts ever by a smack off participant. But you had to get a life.

16:13Actually participated in the smack off. Now let me jar my memory. Did Mike Dicca ever participate in the smack off? Did Tom Kaufflin ever participate in the smack off? Did Tom Landry ever love his phone call during the smack off? Jim Harbaugh did. Man wild. Really, really, really bad day for him in a really good day for his brother. Give him that brother. All right, when we come back, more of my own thoughts, it list if you want to get up here on the phones, I would love a good phone card too. Plenty of time.

Let's go to... I don't know, Alex, are you answering them? What do you want to go? I'll go to this shirt of thing. And I see some new callers, which I like, do not hang up. But I'm going to go to a shirt of thing. Pearland, Texas. Bodie. Baba. My brother. What's good? Bodie, how you doing? I'm doing great, Baba. I just want to tell you, I went to the game yesterday, because I had a Texas versus Bill. And man, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am a Josh Alman fan and I predicted when he came out that he'd be the best quarterback and win more Super Bowers and then anybody coming out. But I'm still waiting on that. But Baba, some bitch put on a clinic.

22:19And of course, I was cheering for the Texas, but man, some of those cats and see through were amazing. The timing on them. And Baba, he's in really good form. He's in mid-season form, down their playoff form. And the Texans have a lot of new pieces that they need to get, you know, working together, right? You know, they got Montgomery, and then they got Clowny back. And last year, in the secondary, man, they just wore a plan. They just wore it up to the par, but I like the loss. I like the loss that's going to give them in a good most. And that's going to lie to fire under the meek those asses. But I love you, Bubba. And that's my take on Josh Alman put on the damn clinic but I love it. Bye. Right down the middle, Baba, nice job. Right down the fairway. That's good though. Long and straight right off the tee. All right, a few thoughts. He just working backwards. He mentioned the secondary. Man, that was a rough rough day for the secondary. And by the way, Houston's got a great secondary. Houston's got a great everything defensively,

23:20but they had a rough day, especially on the back end. Also, some challenges up front, but definitely on the back end. Now again, if Lasseter comes up with that pick and can gather that in, we're having a totally different conversation. But I want to reiterate, who amongst us did not know that when he put that ball on the ground that that quote, some bitch, Josh Alman was going to absolutely carve their hands out. And he did. And he went right back at him on the very next play. Of course that guy threw a laser and a dot. He's Josh bleeping Alman. You don't want to give that guy another shot. He's cold, blooded. I thought CJ did some pretty good things. I thought CJ looked a little better. CJ is not Josh Alman. CJ was not going to do that. And it didn't help that these questions that you have about CJ Stroud coming into this game reared their ugly head once again at the end. Where again, you just cannot fully trust this guy

24:23when it matters most on a big stage against a big time opponent. And it can't fruition when you put the ball on the ground and the game. So that's too bad. That that was a really nice win. Again, I mentioned this point, but I want to reiterate if you're the Texans and you score 31, how could you ever lose with that defense? It's the best defense in the NFL. How could you ever lose when your offense puts up 31? And they did. And Josh Alman is greatest he is, hall of favor that he will be. He's had trouble traditionally against that defense. Not yesterday. So also really good day. I thought for Joe Brady, he mentioned Montgomery. Do Montgomery was an incredible pick up. That's exactly what they needed. He had an enormous game and it still didn't matter. So even Bodie, who's a Texans fan, said, man, that's some bitch, Josh Alman or something. He was in mid season form. He was too. He was too.

25:23All right, Bodie, nice job. 1-800-636-86-86-86. What's going to Austin? I mean, we're talking about in market on topic. What an amazing night that was. Christian in Austin. Christian, good to have you. What's going on? Hey there, Jim. Long time listener, first time caller. Just want to say been a fan for a lot of years. With that comeback performance by Arch, incredible game. I say he's the front runner for the Heisman. What do you think? I think he's right there. I think he's right there. I'll do you one better. Nice to have you, Christian. Finally made it in. So they left plays on the field and he missed some throws they shouldn't make. And they honestly, they could not have played any worse in the first half. And Sark made that very clear. I'd even do you one better. I don't know if they could have played any worse for three quarters. Down 20, going into the fourth quarter, all I could think is, man, this is going to go so badly

26:25for everybody in Texas. They upgraded that roster. They spent so much money as much success as Sark has had. And Sark did have them in the semis of the CFP twice. There's just this narrative in this rap and it's not unfair that he just can't get them over the hump. He can't win that big game. He's got to win that big game. And then they come out and Ohio State comes in and punches them right in the face. I mean, I feel badly for the guy. I'm pro Sark. I'm a Sark guy. And then you have Arch and you've got Sark. And these big time big money investment additions, and Ohio State comes in and does them like that again. And then they come back and they win that game, the way they did. Absolutely incredible. So yes, yes. Arch Manning is on that short list, all of a sudden now for the high school trophy. I'd argue, sing Texas, finish the way they did. I'm going to say they're going to be a national championship contender. They're right there. That's how enormous that win was for them.

27:28And how badly they had to have that. And then Ohio State, how do you lose that game? I don't know which way I feel more strongly about. Texas, how the hell do you win that game? Or Ohio State, how the hell do you lose that game? And I want to say there was some game management issues on both sidelines. Absolutely. But for Ryan Day, and I'm pro Ryan Day, the guy recruits his ass off. That's a really hard job. He won a nadi. But to lose that game, the way he lost that game, top ranked up 20 headed into the fourth quarter. You can't lose that game. That guy can't lose that game. That team can't lose that game and game management issues again. But credit to Texas, they never gave up on it and they found a way to get it done. And Sark was in all of his glory afterwards. And I'm still laughing about what he did after that game.

28:31I will get to that a little bit later on. Let's go to I'm rolling telephone calls. Love to see it. Let's go to Toledo, Branson. Good to have you Branson. What's going on? Well, Green Bay, you better start swimming or sink like a stone for the times they are a changing. Sorry, I had to sit through that gym, but. Ah, sorry, I am Branson. Now you're done. You don't like they come home like that. Come on. Love American come. I am not the host of the voice. This is not American Idol. I did not bust out with, hey, you know what I need today? You know what'd be great? A parody. Somebody just sing to me. I'm none of those things. Do I look like Simon? Do I look like some has been behind some chair with a hot take? Bro, what is your take? Have a take. Don't suck.

29:32Don't sing. There were a couple that got grandfathered in that we, we tolerate reluctantly. John in Little Rock. But if you're Branson from Toledo, you're gonna have to come to the straight take brother. Or you're gonna get run. Sorry, you had to sit through that gym. Not nearly as sorry as I was. Bro, don't jack with our momentum. We have telephone calls. I wanna bang those telephone calls. I wanna roll those telephone calls. Come on now. Do better. By do better, don't sing. It's good New Orleans, Jimmy. Jimmy, good to have you. What's going on? Hey, Jim, long time, listen, or first time caller. Hey, I was wondering what your take was on the ref show. It's true in my thanks for probably the third time in the last three years. We're about to think of it here in New Orleans. War V, finding his pacifier, the failed plans,

30:33and I'll shut up and listen, unlike Miles and Charleston. Thank you. You got run well. Just so you know, you got run. Not that cut. Not a merry car. Play that bitch is to make sure I don't want you thinking, oh man, I got out before they ran me. No, you didn't. No, you didn't. Oh man, I landed the plane. I got that plane down and I landed it. And I got up before they ran me. No, you did not. You took that plane into a side of a mountain and we ran your ass before you hung up. Okay, again, I'm being too harsh. I'm being too harsh because we have, well, no, but he said it was a long time, right? I wanted to say I'm being too harsh because we're getting new people. And they're saying things like, hey, Jim, I want to get your thoughts on the ref show. When you know the rule of the show, I don't want you to ask me my thoughts. I know you have your own thoughts. Just get in here and shoot your shot

31:34and tell me your thoughts. If you think you got jammed by the ref show, let me know you got jammed by the ref show. And then I'll give you my thoughts. I want your thoughts. I'm trying to make you a part of the program. All right, I'm not trying to be the guy who answers your questions. I did away with that format a long time ago. I actually killed that format almost single handedly. So now, again, if you're new to the program and you don't know the way we do this show, I don't want to be so harsh. But the guy did stop by saying long time first time, long time first time, then you know the way we do things. If you think you got screwed again, and you even have some conspiracy theory that the refs are out to get the saints, say it, say it. I've got to take. So you were garbage early on, and then your dude, Chuck was playing lights out, lights out. Hey, Lions fan, where are you?

32:35You know, Lions fan? Are you Lions fans that are insistent that your championship window did not close? Because you still have the head coach, Dan Cannibal. You still have Aman Ra, still have Jared Goff, you still have Hutch. Yeah, I know you do. But if you truly are elite and your championship window is still wide open, what are you doing blowing three touchdown leads to the saints who played horribly for a half? And credit to the saints for going for that win. Hell yeah, have to, have to. This is my man, Miles, I love it. I love it when Miles, in Charleston calls on days when it's not a beef segment. I love that, that's always to me a bonus. Let's say a bonus Miles, free Miles. You know, like that cheesy thing that even I used to post back in the day that whenever a game went to overtime, wait for your football. We have free Miles in Charleston.

33:38He's showing up on a day that's not a beef day. We go to Charleston right to the front. My man, Miles, Miles, my brother, what's going on, dude? Oh, Jim, what's up, dude? Just crushing it here on a Monday. That last caller that got run rightfully so for not having a take and just asking you questions, like this is the Larry King show or something. Anyway, he closed it before he got run with saying something about how I don't listen. Look, dude, I have beats. I listen. I have never been run from the show. You got run on your first call, bro. I've been calling for 20 years. Anyway, Jim, love the dolphins, crapping all over themselves yesterday, looking for Owen 17. Talk to you soon, brother, see you on Thursday, outro. Well, go ahead and rock him. I'm just gonna rock Miles because it's Monday. A Miles phone call on a Monday, generally, is rackable if it's a good phone call and it was

34:38because all of his calls are good. Love it. Let's say what? I'm looking at my phone bank right now. It feels like Thursday. Now, I know it's our first week app, weekend of the NFL. I know there was some wild things that happened in college. I love to see this. This is awesome. Keep calling and notice I'm not going with the J2 weaklings. Keep calling. Keep calling clones. We love that energy because if you're calling the show, you know what that means? That means we're getting engagement on social. We're getting engagement in the chat.

38:42We have a lit right now. And it's not a big day. I want to remind you on Monday at CATP, ask the pros brought to you by O'Reilly Auto Parts. You want to post your question at Jim Rome, use the hashtag ask the pros on next, listen later on and either I or somebody on the crew might answer your question. Think O'Reilly Auto Parts for all of your car care needs, get the parts and service you need fast from the professional parts people at O'Reilly Auto Parts. I'm not even getting to what I want to get to because the phone costs take priority. Now what's really funny to me about this is a lot of you in the chat, especially are saying you see, that's why Rome always said more of me and less of you and this proves it. But the thing is you clones all think that it should be about you. You've always thought that it should be about you. Many of you think you're better at this than I am and why is it not about us? It should be about us to which I always say number one, I wish you were better at it than me. I wouldn't have to go so hard. Number two, if you were better than me, the show would be even better than it is and

39:43it's already a damn good show. But the reason it's a damn good show is it's mostly about me. The more of me and the less of you is better for the show. And then you always get all kind of better out of shape about that until I give you your opportunity and then I put myself right. That said, just have a little bit of fun, but being real, that said, let's go back to the phones. Let's go to our Bama Zane in our Bama. Great to have you. Zane, what's going on? Hey, Jim, how are you? Good, dude. How are you? I'm doing well. It's going to call and get my remarks from the Packers. Yesterday when I watched the game, I was mortified during the fourth quarter. I mean, how in the world can the fricking, offensive lines block for Jordan Love, what that vaunted Brian Flores defense? I mean, it was just, I mean, I was in so much shock.

40:44I mean, the penalties, the miss block, all the pressure getting into Jordan's face, it was just awful. I mean, that was probably one of the worst collapses. And yes, sure, it's weak one. They got many more games to go, but that is the tone center of the season. And yes, I see what Tucker Kraft is saying. On paper, they could be the best team, but if they're going to play like this, you might as well just give up on the season and just try again for next year. War being the fee, winning the smack off soon. Thank you, Jim. He almost did last year. All right. Say nice try. I mean, you got through the call. You didn't get run. Listen, I'm not going to kill you for not being V. I'm not going to kill you for not being the BIC. I'm not going to kill you for shooting your shot. But you got through it. You got through it. In terms of you were mortified. Why? Mortified. You should be used to it. He's like, I was mortified watching the fourth quarter of that game.

41:46Why? It happens every fourth quarter now when your team takes the field. Really? Why were you mortified? Like damn, Jim. That was the worst collapse since I don't even know I do since the last time they took the field. Little Schwartz and I talked about this. If the head coach is going to openly say openly talk about we have a problem finishing. We are going to get this fixed. We know it's a top priority. We know it's a problem. We know it keeps happening. It's our job to get it fixed and we will. And then you have all off season. And then you come right out in the opener and it happens again. Whatever they did, whatever soul searching they went through, whatever went into it, it didn't work. They picked up right where they left off. And it wasn't even like Kyler Murray all of a sudden just found like this, like he found himself KOC resurrected Kyler Murray somehow and Kyler Murray is back to being Kyler Murray.

42:51Kyler Murray was on the ground unfortunately. In terrifying fashion, fencing, King Cust, it was Carson Wentz. So if we had a quarterback competition and the alleged competition was between Kyler Murray and nine Carson Wentz probably hasn't picked up a football since I don't know 2017. Of course the guy was rusty when he got in there. And how bad is nine? The Carson Wentz probably didn't pick up a football the entire summer and he still beat him out. And then when he beat him out, he gets into a game and he comes back on Green Bay the way he did. Again, Mitchell Schwartz, Super Bowl winner Mitchell Schwartz has forgotten more football than I will ever know in eight lifetimes. The only thing he said that I did not agree with was maybe we should not judge the packers until they get Mike Parsons back defensively.

43:52Well, I can. I can judge them right here and right now. They allowed 29 unanswered points to journeyman back up Carson Wentz. They didn't need Mike Parsons to keep them from scoring 29 unanswered points or at least they shouldn't have. I don't need to wait. I can judge them right now. That can't happen again. The biggest thing coming into this season was we have to close teams out. When we get a boot on somebody's throat, we have to choke them out. When we get two hands around somebody's throat, we have to choke them out. Do not insert your OJ when I get a knife on somebody's throat. I need to lock their dome off. Still not funny. Cut it, OJ. No, I, that's got nothing to do with Mike Parsons. Injuries are a part of it. They lost that guy.

44:53You cannot allow your rival with their journeyman back up to run off 29 unanswered points and beat you. It can't happen. There's no way Matt LaFlor is going to survive very many more of those games. He just can't. Mitchell Schwartz said it's a good thing for him. They don't have that one impulsive owner. No, they've got like 8 million impulsive owners. Trust me, they're all pissed. I know they're my adopted fam. I know how they think. All right, when we come back, man, phone lines, everyone, I'm still lit. Love it. I'm not saying they're lit with good cause. I'm just saying they're lit. I'm going to keep trying though, because I want you to engage via the phones. Our three straight ahead. This episode is brought to you by Caesar.
