Speaker 1
Stat of the day, presented by Amazon Prime Video. Thursday night football is on this week.
Dallas Cowboys take on the Detroit Lions. Coverage begins Thursday at 7 p.m.
Eastern only on Prime Video.
Speaker 1 Per bleacher report:
Speaker 1 JJ McCarthy's Vikings QBR in week 12, 34.2.
Speaker 2 Not good.
Speaker 1
In week 13, Max Brosmer for the Vikings, total QBR, 32.8. Also not good.
The QBR, if you spiked the ball on every single play, would be 39.6.
Speaker 5 So what are we doing? Come on.
Speaker 6 Ah, come on. What do you mean?
Speaker 5 Stupid rating, stupid stat.
Speaker 6
It is stupid. Well, interceptions are worse than spiking the ball into the ground.
That's right.
Speaker 5 Spiking the ball into the ground every play is definitely worse than interceptions.
Speaker 2 Just incomplete. No, it's not.
Speaker 5
Yes, it is because there are other plays besides the interceptions. Maybe I had interceptions and I also had touchdowns.
Well, you're telling me spiking the ball every play is better than a fight.
Speaker 2 Brosmer had a ballscape out. I'm with this.
Speaker 5 I dare you to tell me I'm not right.
Speaker 2
This is so bang on. It's stupid.
I'm so glad someone stepped.
Speaker 7 Brosmer said it. Brosmer's play directly led to points for the other team.
Speaker 5 At least if you spiked the ball on every play, you could punt it.
Speaker 5 At least if you spiked the ball on the ball, I'd rather spike the ball on every play than run backwards 15 yards and throw it right at the defender.
Speaker 5 I didn't realize this segment was identifying all the non-ball knowers.
Speaker 2
Oh, Jeremy just being real loud. Common thread.
I don't like that.
Speaker 5 James Madison and BYU, man.
Speaker 7 Man, justice for those teams.
Speaker 2 You losers.
Speaker 1 Win games.
Speaker 7 Get to conference championships. Win conference championships.
Speaker 5 How would spiking the ball into the ground every play be anything other than a zero rating?
Speaker 8
Right. Thanks.
You're welcome.
Speaker 2 It's super.
Speaker 8 If you go 0 for 1, it's a 39.6 rating.
Speaker 2 Hello.
Speaker 2 Doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 6 I have in my possession, this is heavy, and I am proud of it, and I am proud of our listeners and grateful for our listeners because over the last year here, we have gotten 100 million streams.
Speaker 6 What are you laughing about, Roy? It's ridiculous to see you laugh at me as John Tesh wearing that incredible wig.
Speaker 3 Yes, I just realized that, so I'm turning up.
Speaker 6 100 million is obviously a lot, and it's just a year, and it's just Spotify, because we're on a lot of different places. So I'm truly staggered by that number.
Speaker 6 And you would agree, Greg, this is heavy what Spotify has sent us, right?
Speaker 2 This is,
Speaker 6 yeah, it's pretty substantive.
Speaker 2 He's good at this.
Speaker 8 I also want to welcome you to the club because the Greg Cody show got this, I think, I don't know, a year and a half ago, something like that. No, we got one.
Speaker 8 We were honored for 1,000 streams.
Speaker 2
That's not true. You're underselling us.
Most GERD.
Speaker 6
I'm sorry. I thought that Juju was joining us.
He is not joining us today.
Speaker 6 Did you get it all out of your system on the University of Miami, Mike, or are we going to keep doing this? Because
Speaker 6 I can't keep doing this.
Speaker 2 I keep trying to subvert our show by saying we can't put Mario on. This guy's just only made it worse.
Speaker 2 And then my contact was like, clarify which one, Jeremy or Dan.
Speaker 1 Mario's your contact, right?
Speaker 6 Let's go ahead and do funniest thing from the sports weekend.
Speaker 2
Hey, people, tell us what in the sport made you laugh hard this weekend. It is a segment we call what made you laugh this weekend.
Ha ha ha!
Speaker 6 Jeremy, would you like to get us started, please?
Speaker 1 7-5 Dukes playing in the ACC championship game over the hurricanes. Manny Diaz has reached the ACC championship before Mario Cristobal.
Speaker 2 That is funny.
Speaker 2 If only the shock of Duke making it to the ACC championship game before Miami still had any kind of weight.
Speaker 2 Let's make this. Do it right.
Speaker 1 Do the right thing, ACC Commissioner. Don't make playoffs.
Speaker 2 Do the right thing.
Speaker 6 Roy, what was the funniest thing from the sports weekend?
Speaker 2 The National Football Conference's first seed right now is being held by the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 2
Wow. Are they good? Yeah.
I think they are. They're sneaky good.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 No, they're just good. Sneaky good means they're not good, though.
Speaker 5
No, they're sneaky good. They're better than Mississippi State.
It's a matter of you.
Speaker 2 Whoa.
Speaker 6 I am seriously curious about this.
Speaker 6 I don't imagine what the odds could be, but you didn't have anyone who was saying the three best records this deep into the NFL season would be Pats, Broncos, and Bears.
Speaker 7 Are you delivering a pizza?
Speaker 6
Pats, Broncos. I wish my pizzas were this heavy.
I wish they were covered in so much things that they would be this heavy. No one had that, though, right? No,
Speaker 6
there's not an expert. Like, I heard some people saying the Colts might be better than you think.
I heard some people saying the Broncos might be better than you think.
Speaker 6 But I did not hear anybody saying Patriots, Bears, Broncos is the top of the sport record.
Speaker 8
Yeah, especially when they started 0-2. And now where they are, it's crazy.
It's insane.
Speaker 6 Chris, what was the funniest thing from the sports weekend?
Speaker 1 Dozens of people on the internet thinking I fell asleep at a Vikings game.
Speaker 2 Wow.
Speaker 2 Why'd you go to that game?
Speaker 1
It doesn't have red hair. Like, I don't see it.
It doesn't look anything like that. It's not me for the record.
I was at home on Sunday.
Speaker 6 The folds of fat on the side of the face. That's what did it, you think?
Speaker 2 Gratuitous.
Speaker 2 You cherk.
Speaker 6
I'm not making this about Chris Cody. I'm making it about the photo they just put in front of me.
There are folds of fat. He's sleeping on the folds of fat on the side of his face.
Speaker 1 Who doesn't have folds of fat when you're sleeping on your chin?
Speaker 2 Have you ever fallen asleep at a game?
Speaker 2 I have not. How tired you have to be? Not good.
Speaker 1 I think I have at a baseball game.
Speaker 2
It's fun. In the press bottom.
It's great. Just napping.
Yeah, in the press bottom. Just sitting there
Speaker 6 napping in front of your computer.
Speaker 2 Yes.
Speaker 1 Edenson Volquez on the hill down 7-2.
Speaker 1 You covering a Marlins game at the bottom of the game.
Speaker 2 Basketball games, heads of state visits. Who knows? Who cares?
Speaker 1 How many times have you covered a Marlins game at that stadium? This season? No, just in general.
Speaker 1 Seven games?
Speaker 2 A couple of dozen? I don't know.
Speaker 6 Mike, what was the funniest thing from the sports weekend?
Speaker 2 Every dad north of 40 pulling their lower back once Jack White brought Eminem out.
Speaker 6 We didn't talk at all about how great that halftime show was.
Speaker 2
It was awesome. It was great.
That's the best I've seen.
Speaker 2 It was great, guys. You didn't like it?
Speaker 2
I love it. He played three songs.
Two of them you heard of. One of them was an Eminem song, and the other one was Seven Nation Army.
Speaker 2
Jack was great. Yeah, I guess.
He's just so white. He's very pasty.
He is? He is.
Speaker 3 It's like disconcerting. I look at him like, I think he's sick.
Speaker 1 He's going for that, though.
Speaker 8 So he uses flour makeup.
Speaker 2
That can't be true. No, it's true.
I know it.
Speaker 3 He takes flour and like puts it on his face. You would know.
Speaker 2
He would know. That's a weird thing to say.
That flower makeup.
Speaker 6 Wait a minute. So, Greg Cody is
Speaker 6 one of his best friends.
Speaker 6 That friend, Chris, his son, was in the Rock on Tours, is still in the Rock on Tours, right?
Speaker 8 Yeah, if they ever reunite. Yeah.
Speaker 6
And so he has told you this. This is inside information.
Is this a happen-to-know situation?
Speaker 2 It is a happen-to-know situation.
Speaker 6 All right, hold on a second. I don't think Greg Cody has done a happen-to-know situation.
Speaker 2 He happens to know? Great Scott, he happens to know. He happens to know.
Speaker 2
Gather, everyone. Get the children.
He happens to know.
Speaker 2 So wise. Okay.
Speaker 8 I happen to know that Jack White likes the intense white makeup, the flower makeup, I call it. And I've seen him applying it to himself in backstage prior to a copy.
Speaker 1 Such a reckless thing to say.
Speaker 2 What do you mean? I just don't believe. I know you're
Speaker 8 applied to it.
Speaker 1
I know you've met him. Backstage.
I just don't believe you've seen him.
Speaker 2
Wait a minute. He's happy to know.
You don't question the happen to know. The happen to know.
Speaker 2 I happen to know. Yeah, you can question that.
Speaker 6
Wait a minute. You can't question the happen-no.
He just made the correction of not only did I see him applying it, he then said the more accurate term, I saw someone applying it to you.
Speaker 7 He also said he saw the Wilt game on TV.
Speaker 2 Well, you know, I did.
Speaker 8 Just because it's being reported that the game was never televised, that doesn't make it so.
Speaker 6 It does make it so.
Speaker 2 No, it doesn't.
Speaker 6 It was not televised.
Speaker 6
Pablo Torrey found out that there was no video of of that game. It has not been seen.
What do you got?
Speaker 8 A pepperoni piece?
Speaker 2 No, it came out like it came out last week.
Speaker 2 No, it was a fake? Yeah, it was a fake.
Speaker 3 Oh, I'll take the fine.
Speaker 6 Tony, what was the funniest thing from the sports weekend?
Speaker 3 My wife likes the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, and Buster Rhymes was in, and she's like, is that Buster?
Speaker 2 Oh, I love this.
Speaker 7 Bust a bust.
Speaker 3 And he was just going on, and it was like, you could tell that it was pre-recorded, but then he forgot it was pre-recorded.
Speaker 3 And then every singer afterwards was, you could tell it was just absolutely lip-synced. It was such a shit.
Speaker 1
It's the most famous pre-recorded thing. It's like a known thing where if you're there, you're clearly lip-syncing.
And Buster Rhimes just completely forgot about his pre-recorded ad-libs.
Speaker 7 So while he's like, New York, what's up?
Speaker 1 Happy Thanksgiving, he's just not saying anything and like looking out at the crowd.
Speaker 2 It was hilarious.
Speaker 6 So how does this work with you guys?
Speaker 7 Why is he on a bluey float?
Speaker 6 This time of year, there are an assortment of televised holiday specials.
Speaker 1 Love holiday programming.
Speaker 6 So you love the country music awards doing during Christmas.
Speaker 1 That's the first one you said. That's not my favorite.
Speaker 6 I'm just, I'm watching, I'm watching, and I'm like, have these not outlived their purpose?
Speaker 6 The holiday televised extravaganza where in prime time, they're going to go all out on getting somebody who knows how to coordinate better than Buster Rhymes to remember what the choreography is supposed to be.
Speaker 6 Like, this is something you guys still enjoy because when I saw... commercials for it all weekend, I was thinking to myself, this can't still be a thing, but it's still a thing.
Speaker 1 Give me celebrities singing Christmas songs at like 3 a.m.
Speaker 1 clearly because they recorded at Disney at Magic Kingdom, but it's clearly overnight because they don't want to like impede on one of their days.
Speaker 1 I love that, like the best of the holidays from Disney.
Speaker 3 My bad, it was a Ninja Turtles float, not a Bluey float for Buster Rhymes.
Speaker 2 Important correction. And I should have gone with National Signing Day is tomorrow, and Penn State has the worst recruiting class in the nation.
Speaker 2 Well,
Speaker 6 Zaslow, what was the funniest thing from the sports week?
Speaker 5 So there's this account on Twitter that reports NFL NFL news.
Speaker 5 And with Abdul Carter last night, where he was benched in the first quarter, but no one knew why, they tweeted out, Abdul Carter will miss the first drive tonight for disciplinary reasons after getting caught watching porn in a team meeting when his headphones disconnected.
Speaker 5 I mean, it's obviously not a serious account, but it got 24 million views. And people thought that he was suspended because he was listening watching porn and his headphones got disconnected.
Speaker 5 That's funny.
Speaker 7 Very relatable.
Speaker 6 Greg Cody, what was the funniest thing from the sports weekend?
Speaker 8 So the Dolphins are trying to protect a late leads Sunday and the Saints are taking an on-site kick.
Speaker 8 The Dolphins have their hands team in there and what happened was that the Dolphin players on the hands team went out of their way to avoid touching the ball and the Saints recovered.
Speaker 2 You know what's fun that everybody loves when you get that text of a video and it's like Cristiano Ronaldo interview and you click on it and it's just a girl going, ah.
Speaker 3 That's over. No, CR7.
Speaker 2
Everyone that receives that is like, he got me. This is not at all embarrassing.
Sex noise. Someone tickling a tonsil.
Speaker 6 My funniest thing from the sports weekend is Shador Sanders running five yards and sliding on fourth and twenty-sixth.
Speaker 2
Yeah. Gotta protect the merchandise, Dano.
Nice.
