He and Harditz is going to join us. He hosts the Fantasy Life podcast, but he's an NFL insider. We can talk to him about all the things we've been discussing, free agency in the NFL kicks off technically in nine days, but in a week, the tampering period starts, and that's when all these deals are getting announced. Beautiful. Do we know what time of day that's officially started? I think it's noon. I think it's noon. That's what I said. On B-Mitch and Finley show, you'll probably get some news. Excellent news. You know, good chance will be commanders related, but you'll definitely get news if you listen to B-Mitch and Finley at noon next Monday. So we'll talk to you in Harditz coming up in an hour. Get some inside scoop from him. But we do have an announcement. So for the 30 year anniversary, we've got a bunch of things in the works. We've alluded to some of them once certain dates get locked down, because I know we get a lot of questions on social media about a date for our big summer plan. We'll fill you in. The bobble heads, we will fill you in when things get locked down.
But we were hoping and we planned to throughout the year to get out and about a little bit more. Yeah, it's true. Junkies World Tour has been going on for 30 years, Cakes. Yeah, we never get out of it. Junkies World Tour of lights. The World Tour? The DMV Tour. That's the World Tour. Cakes has always called it the World Tour. Yeah, it's big. Can we set out a bit now? We did have our Vegas trip with listeners, poker tournament for a Vegas trip. That was very small. That was the 20th anniversary. But for the 30th anniversary, our first World Tour stop is going to be a par city golf in Arlington next Tuesday, so we only got eight days. March 10th, I'm going to Google how far it is from here to Arlington for our World Tour. We're going to do a happy hour for the six. I know the EB and Valdez in particular have been big into Sims, not like the Sims you read, like the whatever gamer Sims thing, not in those Sims, meaning golf.
And that's why it's par city golf, so you hit into the simulator, you have a good time, drink some beers, and we're going to have some prizes, we're going to have some contests. Yeah, I think we're going to do closest to the pen and long drive, and I think they're putting together some gift cards or something in that nature, something fun to play for. But overall, it's just a good time. So this stop on our World Tour will be roughly 5.6 miles, you're all over from here, from here to here to here. Yeah, but it's at four. Yeah, oh, so okay, so we'll go in there. 10. Yeah, you're not going to stay here. Yeah, sure, it's going to be a good time. You're going to stay here. You're going to stay here. All you can know is that it's a flop. Yeah, here's a flop. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can make it a whole jucky's day. You can make it a whole jucky's day. You can make it a whole jucky's day. It's so easy to take her out. I remember he flops and goes full city. And then I'll win the Laguille. I'll always drive. Well, we'll always try. Maybe close to the pit. Definitely not the long. I know you won't win. The longest take back. Or whatever you call that. If there's a chance to take back prize, I win. Sure, let's take away. All right. People should come just as he takes
when we're in the club. Yeah. So hold on. Maybe it'll last us again. Give everybody a look at it. So I looked at a Parsony Golf is on Columbia Pike, 31 or 2 Columbia Pike. We're gonna do a happy hour next Tuesday. All right. 4 to 6 p.m. We'll have the contest. It's indoor golf. Or if you don't play golf, just hang out. Have some beers. What's the story with Parsony? Have you been there, Valdice? I've been there before. Yeah, how many bays they have? I think we have. No, they have like seven. Oh, they have a bunch of chesapeaks. Oh, yeah. They have. Oh, yeah. Nice. And they have like a bar there. It's a fun hangout. Perfect. Uh-huh. It sounds like a great spot. You don't have to be a golfer to have fun at the same. Yeah, you're just gonna go hang out and have a ball. Have a drink. Hang out. And if you want to hit balls, hit balls. If you want to compete for the closest to the pin, compete for it. You can be uber competitive or you be casual. Yeah, it's perfect. I perfect set up. I'm sure I'll be casual. But yeah, we're looking forward to it. Looking forward to doing a bunch of events this year. This will be kind of the first one to kick it off. We haven't, like you say, haven't been out and about. I guess our Christmas show.
We're teaming off our world tour. Yeah. Do I need to bring my outdated golf clubs? Oh, yeah, yeah, definitely. Definitely. Pakes is gonna bring both his drivers. Hopefully you'll use this as a drive for things back. You know, I don't. I'm gonna bring my stuff there. Yeah, they have stuff there. I'm gonna bring my son's new tailor-made driver. Hopefully don't snap the head off of it. I always feel sheepish when I go to like a retail place or even when I go to a club and I bring my clubs inside. We go past like the dining room and you go into the sim room. Right. It's just feel weird. I just feel weird. Just walking by. Yeah, like I feel weird. Feel weird. Like I honestly do. Do you know why would you care? Is it matter? No, I don't know. I don't know if you mean you're caring. You're still a little awkward care in your clubs. People are having lunch and then you're walking by with your club. Yeah, indoors. It's just a weird feeling. Show up and eBee can grill your numbers, your smash factor and everything. I won't grill them. I'll just tell you. Sure. I'm gonna get the spin down. Yeah. Well, these always sends me his screenshots when he hits bombs.
Yeah. And I always comment. Want you to grade them? These numbers are great. Or you know what? You got more in you. I only hit one three nine on that smash. I've seen you hit much higher. Nobody knows what those numbers mean, but okay, whatever you say. So par city next Tuesday, it's eight days away four to six. It's not like, you know, one of these, like broadcasts that we do, no, we're out there hanging out. That's happier. Yeah. Yeah. And that actually works perfect. We expect to see a lot of dogs out there next Tuesday. I was nervous that it was gonna be Thursday because Thursday I have to drive to Philly. It's not Thursday. It's Tuesday. It's Tuesday. Yes. I spent a couple of these calls real quick because some more people still want to chime in on the whole commander's deal. What are they going to do at seven? We got a lot of time to chime in on this. But let's go to Oswald from Virginia Beach, Oswald, what's up, buddy? You're all with the jucks. Good morning, fellas. How y'all doing? How are you? I'm doing great. How are you? I'm doing fine. Look. It's, uh, styles is there and love is there.
Go with style. All right. It's, uh, styles will change your entire defense and your offense. He will hold people to a high standard, right? Look at. Go back and look at this stuff in the combat. Oh no, he's incredible. He's incredible. He's incredible. He's incredible. Right, we shot a four four nine. Now I'm sorry. a style ran a 449 Reese ran a 446 on style second run. He tied Reese right on the vertical jump. Yeah, everybody in the place was going crazy for style. He brings everybody. You go like 41 and a half. I think. Thank you for the call. I don't think he's going to make it to. I don't think. I got to think two weeks ago prior to the combine. He was like top 10 top 12. I think he'll go top five with that combine five six combined with you might go right before what with his film. Like he might be three to five. Yeah, why are you not re-snacketing as much attention? I mean every
month has he has re-scowing like number two to the jets. Yeah, he's getting attention. The thing I question about styles. He's tall. He's like six five. He's a monster. It doesn't look like a prototypical linebacker in that sense. Okay. He's just an athlete. Yeah. 2025 he had 83 tackles, one sack, one force fumble, one interception. You're talking about styles. Yeah. Yeah. Well, they're the best defense in the country. I mean NFL players everywhere. Let's go to chip in DC chip. What's up, buddy? You're all with the junkies. Um, stick to your knitting. What was the hallmark of the residents? It was the hall. John Rickens. I mean, they had a bunch. The offensive line. It was the hogs. It was 40 years ago. What was the hallmark of the Dallas
Cavaliers when they were in their prime front for some years ago. I don't know the big three which wake men, Emmett Smith and Michael Irvin. Have you ever heard of those guys? He scored all the touchdowns in the Miami Super Bowl win. Jimmy, who? Anybody can run through an open hole. He's talking about ages. You've got to stick to your knitting. So you're offensive line and get it. So you want to draft the center? Yeah. Vince, one of the drafts the center is Dre my green kicking off my 14th NBA season and the new season in my podcast. Trust me. I'm not holding back. Listen to the Dre my green show wherever you get your podcast. Sure it up. Yeah. I mean, come on. I mean, you're talking about Super Bowls from 40 years ago. Even though you think the NFL has any balls since then. Well, even though, I mean, look, it's important. There's no question. You got to have a style of offensive line. I think it was their strongest unit on the whole. Right.
It's the strong. Now they release be honest, but they're not going to draft the center or a guard. No. It's the first one. But you have a sense that it's cratered and you have multiple needs on offense. You're not going to upgrade your offensive line at seven. That's, that's malpractice in my opinion. No. I mean, you can go out and pluck some guys and free agency. Sure. But they're not drafting. They're not drafting the line. At pick 71 and after load up on big fat guys for either side of line, but you're not picking that guy at seven. No, Adam Peters is not picking offensive lineman at seven overall in this draft. You just, I just, you think love will be there at seven. All these teams that are picking ahead of them, almost all of them could take them. The team that kind of scares me is the Titans. I feel like that's it. They're sitting there at four. They've got a young, they've got a young quarterback. They want to take some pressure off of and cam warden year two. Right. Table is there as the, as the OC. I could see them picking him at four. Right. And dashing the hopes of commander's fans. But then if that happens, then sunny styles may fall into your lap.
And that's a pretty good consolation prize. The styles jump ahead of some of these other guys just because of the combine performance, probably. I think that paired with the fact that the commanders need to get younger at linebacker. Yeah. They need, they need Bobby Wagner not to play 100% of the snaps for this team. That's a need. Let's go to Jake in Fredersburg. Jake, what's up, man? You're all with the junkies. Yeah, good morning, junks. Hey, don't great. How are you? I'm good. I don't want to say, you know, I don't want to live that set. You know, I got like you, but. I mean, we, we have good running backs that's here. And to me, like, what's the biggest hole? I received it. I mean, after I hear you got what we can factor in zero, right? I agree, but remember we're going to run a different system this year. It's going to look different with Jaden under center a lot more. They want to incorporate play action. Who better to jumpstart all that then a guy an explosive back that they have to respect like Jeremiah love.
You can also catch a ball of the backfield, by the way, looks but smooth doing it. And we're about to see what I've had no drops. I'll see why I've received man. It's been a trend for a couple of years. Yeah, I mean, they can still go out and sign a receiver. I mean, they have to draft one at seven where they can draft one in the third round. Yeah, and I was in that four ninety four ninety five traffic. And man, I had the bomb. He's in the tumbley. So I just turned on the old old junkie throwback and will definitely two hours taking that traffic. Oh, really? Did you have to poop? Yeah, no. Yeah. What'd you do? What's the bunch? It was just holding in like a champ. Yeah, you're a man. You have it in gold. I've already forgotten what wasn't throwback. I know, but what was the segment about? Oh, this was a Steve Erwin one. Steve Erwin. We predicted his death after and I collected it. What it's like the hundred box?
That was like the oldest bell. He was so happy. I'm the king of old bets. Did you ever hear how much Mike Marr clocked from his Venmo? I heard he got like fifteen hundred. Oh, keep thinking that was twenty two hundred. Yeah, it was a lot. I crossed the two K great score. Good for him. Makes me want to run to work. Yeah. All right, got to take a break if you want to chime in throughout the show. You can always hit us up at one eight hundred six three six one oh six seven. Life can feel overwhelming, but on my podcast from the heart with Rachel Brayton were in it together. Every Friday a new episode brings you a new story with topics on motherhood, wellness, self love and more. Listen to from the heart with Rachel Brayton wherever you get your podcasts.
