Now see I could tell you what's on tap for my weekend but you would be jealous and I kind of feel badly that you will be so green with envy so maybe I should keep it to myself, right? But if I do tell you the story about the planter's wart that I had removed from my foot and how awful that was and how traumatizing then maybe I can balance it out by telling you why you should be jealous of my upcoming weekend plans. It's a little bit of the good, a little bit of the bad.

That's a good balance, a good mix. Which would you rather hear, the good news or the bad news? We need the ward story. Do we?

Yes, I do. I don't think anyone will ever listen to me again after that. It might be the death of after hours. I think it will. I nearly died myself but it might be the death of after hours.

I think people will flock to the story. I don't think so. It's, it's awful.

As in awful. But I'll think about it. All right, that's, I'll take that. I'll contemplate it. Send your questions for Ask Amy anything except for the planter's wart story.

Oh good, that's a good loophole. Oh yes, you can find it. Find us.

Find the spot where you send your questions. On our show Twitter After Hours CBS. I was looking up actually at NFL Network and there's a quote from Jerry Jones that's up on the screen which is why I was distracted. You will hear it actually coming up. It's the same thing that we have that we're going to play for you within this segment. So yes, find us on Twitter After Hours CBS or on our Facebook page.

You've got a few minutes left about a half hour now to send your questions for Ask Amy. It's the middle show of the work week. We call it the hump show. Gotta get over this hump and downhill toward the weekend.

My weekend could make me fat. That's the only tease that you're getting. That's the hint, Jay. Is that a good hint do you think? Nah. It's good. It's yeah.

P-H-A-T or F-A-T? Oh goodness. I have thought about how I need to do some serious workouts before I take off for my weekend. That's a good tease. That's a good tease? Yeah. All right, I gotta do it.

I'm gonna do it. A little yard work. I haven't yet run since the half marathon. I usually give myself two to three weeks off. Well right, but I also do give my body two to three weeks off before I get back to running. I've thought about working in another half marathon before the wedding just to be sure that the wedding dress looks good.

Anyway, that's a me problem. It's After Hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS Sports Radio. Welcome back to the NHL. Welcome to the hump show.

Middle show of the work week. Yes, send your questions for Ask Amy and while you're there we're playing a bit of a word association game through five weeks of the NFL season and it's kind of weird to put it up on social. We did our absolute best. Jay came up with a good way to do it. When I say blank, you choose an NFL team. You say what? Right? So if I throw out when I say the Cowboys, Jay, you say what? Got destroyed last week. All right, the gap is the gap is big.

It's a large gap. Despite what Micah Parsons says, although I do love Micah Parsons, his podcast is my new favorite. Laugh now, cry later. That's what he said about the Niners and George Kittle with the F Dallas t-shirt. Do you think that they called up the Jets and said, hey, since you're not wearing those F, those F-ing Mike White or Mike F-ing White, how do they phrase it? Mike F-ing White.

Mike F-ing White t-shirts. Could we have them and just like cross out the words? But the Rams, F them picks. There you go. We borrowed the shirts from the Rams and just like use duct tape and put Dallas on there instead. Laugh now, cry later. See what I mean?

Trust, just trust. Yeah, step aside Kelsey's. Micah Parsons is my new favorite podcast. It's after hours here on CBS Sports Radio. Our phone number 855-212-4227. Who the f*** is that guy? I mean what? If you drop enough F bombs, then all of a sudden you win Amy back.

855-212-4CBS. Touchdown Kansas City. No, Herbert keeps it in.

So touch down charges. Herbert with his second of the day. Here's the snap. Josh going to keep it himself and run it again inside the five into the end zone. Touchdown Buffalo. Josh Allen, nine yard touchdown run. The Bills respond and then some. It's time for QB news on after hours. Yeah, yeah.

Taking a deep breath in between weeks five and six. That's crazy and I'm pretty sure the London series continues again this weekend. The NFL, they are shills for these European games. This portion of the show is brought to you by Wesley Financial stuck in a timeshare and want out.

Some people have pointed out that already Patrick Mahomes is cruising toward another NFL MVP award or if it's not his award. Hello, Jared Goff. Well then he at least has to be in the running.

Why? Because other than Travis Kelce, who does he have around him on the offense? Now I guess people have forgotten about Isaiah Pacheco. There are other guys that have been with him for at least a year, but it is a roster at least an offensive roster that outside of he and Kelce is not full of stars.

I don't know if that adds to his MVP case, but I do know that he has a very high standard. So even as the Chiefs sit at four and one tied for best record in the AFC with the Miami Dolphins, Mahomes still not satisfied. He wants more explosive big plays from his dudes. Whenever you do get those opportunities, you have to hit them. And that's something that I tell myself every week. And we haven't hit them at the high enough pace this season so far, but we have historically.

So let's just try to continue to work at them and practice them. And then when we get those opportunities in the game, let's try to hit them. Maybe he forgot about the third and 18 that he and the Chiefs converted last week against the Vikings. Remember it was a deep Chuck to Justin Watson for 33 yards. Though I had been impressed with the way that they played the ball control game when they need to. We're going to talk about the Vikings moving forward. It's not good news for them, but yeah, the Chiefs they're scrapping and they're fighting and they're winning however they can, but still early in the season, you got to admit that.

Even the Chiefs have yet to settle into a real consistency. As for him and his ankle, so forget Travis Kelsey for a second. People were starting to worry because it looked like my homes may have re tweaked or re injured his ankle last week. It actually was my ankle. I don't know if you remember in your like high school and someone would frog you like someone just need me right in the side of my calf and it just kind of like set that shock through my leg so it's fine. Just a bruise but yeah it wasn't my everybody thought it was my ankle. It was just just the old frog right in the side of the leg.

I've never heard that term before. Have you never in my life? That's why I had to put it in there because I wanted to know if you've heard that before. Not a frog. I certainly have been need by basketball teammates in their calves or in other parts of your body and you end up with a bruise when you're all going for the same rebound or a loose ball and you get need. It's the worst knee bruises are the worst but someone else's knees I mean but I've never heard the whole frog thing before. That's interesting. It's the old frog right in the side of the leg. Speaking of Kermit the frog here that's what I think of when I hear his voice. People have made fun of my voice for my entire life.

Nah just unique. You always know when it's Patrick Mahomes who's in front of a microphone. Because after hours with Amy Lawrence CBS Sports Radio I would say that a bruise on your calf is a far easier problem to navigate than what the Patriots are dealing with. We said the Chiefs are four and one. The Pats are one and four and there is a lot of heat around Mac Jones who's now been benched two weeks in a row though Bill Belichick continues to say it was not just on him.

Right now the team is a mess. There have been you know fingers pointed at the offensive line of course and him kind of having happy feet and trigger finger and making poor decisions which is on him and he's playing poorly himself too but also this idea that he's getting zero help from the run game as in zero. They've fallen behind in some games which means it's harder to run the ball.

What about the receivers? Who is he throwing to? So there are a lot of question marks but Mac Jones as the QB is the one who has to answer them and he's still a believer. Yeah I think the biggest thing is you know just trying to figure out the root cause to each of the issues and that's playing better the team playing better for me as a quarterback and you just got to move forward in this league that's what it is you can't look back you got to move forward and I'm not happy with anything nobody is and it starts with me as the quarterback. Patriots taking on the Raiders this weekend so a reunion with Josh McDaniels. That's Mac Jones on WEEI our Boston affiliate and he certainly understands that they have to be able to make in-game adjustments not just week to week. As a quarterback of the offense I want to go out there and score on the opening drive and it's frustrating when that doesn't happen and like I said you just want to find the root cause to why it's not happening and then from there you have to problem solve and figure out hey what can we do better what can I do better. Obviously it's been a trend for a few years around here and just has to be an improvement and that'll really help us get off to a better start in the games.

Are you ready for this? The Patriots are dead last in the NFL and offense right now. When was the last time they could say that? Dead freaking last. Do you know how many points per game they're scoring? Well and remember they just got shut out this past weekend by the Saints on their own field.

The week before three points if I remember correctly so it's been a while since they've had a touchdown but do you know how many points per game they're scoring? Nine. Eleven.

Wow. Just barely. It's hard to win when you only score 11 points per game. I can't believe that they're worse than the Giants offense. They're the worst.

It's crazy. 32nd in the NFL. Meanwhile their defense is doing as best it can but the rushing game is pitiful. They don't even average 85 rushing yards per game.

That's an average 85. So forget one dimensional it's no dimensional. The Patriots offense is no dimensional. A lot of people asking Bill Belichick because he's benched back two weeks in a row. Is there a problem between you and your quarterback? I've got a good relationship with Max since he's been here.

You know not with him on a regular basis and we have good line of communication. He works hard. A lot of respect for what he does. Bill Belichick with his weekly appearance on the Greg Hill Show on our Boston affiliate WEEI.

Tom Brady of course being asked about Belichick and as a future number one analyst for Fox, he's got to be ready to respond to these types of problems and conundrums and any time it involves his former team and his former coach he'll be asked on his Let's Go podcast on Sirius XM NFL radio what about how Belichick is handling this tough start to the season. I think the results are different from what they've been from but I know that he's still got the same you know work ethic. He's got the same coaching style and you know I think the thing that I think as I watch not only the Patriots but a lot of things football is a hard sport. You know it was very different when I was in there because I could control a lot of the outcome.

You know when I'm sitting here watching from afar you know I realized god there's a lot of variables. There's a lot of things that need to go right in order to have team success and I was a part of a lot of those teams and you know I didn't take any of those things for granted. I needed a great defense. I needed a great kicker. Obviously I needed a great coach. I needed great receivers and a great o-line.

If I was going to be successful as a player I needed all those things and I was fortunate to have a lot of those things over a long period of time. The teams that lose they're putting a lot into it. The teams that win they're putting a lot into it. It's a relentless sport you know and there's nothing is given to you. It's all hard. Losing is hard. Winning is hard.

You know to be in it year in and year out is hard. You hear that from any player but considering it's Tom Brady and his Patriots along with Bill Belichick has such sustained success. We're talking about the eight consecutive league championship games and he understands and I think it's interesting too to hear him talk about how when I was out there I could control a lot of the outcomes.

I could control and shape the variables because of his experience, because of how well he could read defenses, because of his vision on the field. Now he's mentioned it more than once how difficult it is for him to sit back and watch. It's after hours here on CBS Sports Radio. It's definitely hard to win in the AFC North. It's these teams battle each other. We saw a knockdown between the Ravens and the Steelers. The defense in the late stages for the Steelers. The Joey Porter interception of Lamar in the end zone and then picket to pickets. By the way if you haven't voted for TD of the week the poll is still open on Twitter, on Facebook.

41 yard touchdown catch for the lead and then the defense is able to slam the door and the Steelers get the win. So through five weeks Kenny Pickett and his club are three and two. From a record standpoint we're obviously a lot better and where we you know atop the vision not you know didn't go perfect to get to this point but you know in a position that you know we were able to win some games down the stretch and be in a good spot here going into the bye week. So there's definitely positives. There's always negatives that you can work on during the bye week which we got started on today which was good. But yeah I think you know obviously just better from a standpoint this year versus last year. Kenny Pickett and the Steelers as he says three and two heading into a bye and guess what after the bye Deontay Johnson confirms he will be back.

So how will he help? I feel like when I get back Pat the rest of the guys get back I feel like they're gonna be fine you know. We're gonna be able to pick back up the speed just with me being out there specifically just giving that presence of more route running ability out there getting open creating separation you know just being another weapon out there for Kenny and not just take some of the pressure off GP and the rest of the guys you know allows to have them one-on-one matchups out there.

Deontay Johnson hasn't played since week number one also mentions Pat who is Pat Fryer-Muth. They were hoping to get the reinforcements back following the bye. I don't know though I think this might be too early for me with a bye.

You kind of want it somewhere in the middle of the season but you got to take it when it comes and the Steelers certainly would love to get healthy on both sides of the ball but offensive side of the ball. It's after hours here on CBS Sports Radio speaking of health Anthony Richardson has a shoulder injury and his head coach Shane Steichen has to forge ahead without him. He does have an AC injury. We're still evaluating that right now. He will miss some time.

How much time? I don't know that right now and that's all I got on that situation. Colts on the road at the Jaguars this weekend. Oh my goodness do you think there's a little extra something something because Gardner Minshew is facing his former team.

I don't think so. I think that's about as scintillating as the Jets and Nathaniel Hackett heading into Denver. Anyway Zach Moss had a breakout game for the Colts this past weekend right when Jonathan Taylor resigned to get on the field. I mean couldn't you just give Zach Moss the money? Do you think he's he's maybe thought about that? You could have thrown some of that money my way. Maybe a little bit. All I need is a couple of opportunities. Anyway he's got confidence in Gardner Minshew to lead the Colts.

Just to see A.R. go down with a shoulder injury looks like that's our leader in the offensive side of the ball at the quarterback position. A great guy who comes in after him and Darnell and Darnell has played this league a long time. And has stepped into these moments throughout his career. So it was no it's no surprise for anyone inside this building on what Darnell's able to do and how he's able to command all of them and it make it seem like we don't miss a beat. That's true. I mean Minshew has been able to step in.

He's definitely prepared. Moss had 23 carries 165 yards last week. Two touchdowns and even though Titans and Colts and this is what it just made me crazy. They were two for nine in the red zone combined. So they would get there but they would settle and I mentioned that about these teams and sometimes you know when you're talking about younger quarterbacks like with the Colts Anthony Richardson though he was gone by then.

They don't always capitalize but yeah if they could take advantage of some of these opportunities. Now the Colts did end up winning. The Titans have no excuse because they've got veterans on offense.

They're just a mess still. Let's see let's quick pivot to the NFC and did you hear what Deebo Samuel had to say about the Cowboys and Micah Parsons? We'll get to that but he also loves to tout his quarterback Brock Purdy and this is from up in Adams. That boy number 13 man he's a real deal. It's just his attitude.

It's just like his demeanor and like you know just him as a person is just like a lot of energy you know even when he makes mistakes you really don't know he makes too many mistakes but it's just like his preparation and how he'd be all week long and when it comes to game time like ever since he stepped in the hood of the moment never been too big for him he's always been the same. We asked the question of Kate Rooney who joined us from KRON Channel 4 in the Bay Area following Sunday Night Football. How did every team miss out on Brock Purdy and that includes the Niners. They didn't draft him until after they'd had other picks.

I know they had priorities and they thought they had Trey Land so they probably weren't looking at quarterback but they decided not to leave it to chance and let someone else sign him with a free agent deal and they selected him but how did every other team pass on this guy? Her answer was interesting and Brock Purdy has been asked the question multiple times. If you missed that conversation with Kate it's on our podcast page. Tom Brady also on Let's Go, Sirius XM NFL radio talking about the Niners the team he grew up idolizing and loving and their quarterback Brock Purdy. They're doing a great job it's just by and I played them last year and they got a good team and they but you know I played on a lot of great teams over the years too and what did we do we controlled the line of scrimmage we ran the ball well we stopped the run they rushed the passer they've been playing with leads and I give coach Shanahan a lot of credit too because he's done a great job and you don't hear of guys like Brock Purdy until Brock Purdy's doing amazing things out on the field so it's kind of a fun story and I hope it continues for him because he seems like he's a really humble you know young man and and he wants to go out there and do great things the more you kind of have that chip on your shoulder like he does and there were not quite the expectations it's nice to go out there and continue to prove people wrong. I like to hear Tom Brady talk about some of the players in today's NFL but you can tell he's practicing for his spot in the Fox booth on Sirius XM NFL and actually Zach Moss was also on Sirius XM NFL radio so your kind of brief truncated version of QB news because we still have some calm before the week six storm I can't believe it's week six when I say fill in the blank choose an NFL team you say what the our version of word association as we're in between week five and week six got a few minutes left to send your questions for ask Amy anything Devo Samuel and Micah Parsons with a bit of a war of words over Cowboys and Niners Jerry Jones weighing in with the Dak Prescott debate everybody should find themselves someone who loves them as much as Jerry Jones loves Dak Prescott and really every quarterback that came before him I'm sure who was it that he said had one of the strongest arms in the NFL was a backup quarterback couple years ago is before you worked with us uh Brandon Whedon oh my gosh do you remember of course when he was like Brandon Whedon has one of the strongest arms in the NFL oh my gosh he does love his quarterbacks but he really does love Dak it's after hours with Amy Lawrence again send your questions for ask Amy coming up in 20 minutes here on the show to after hours CBS or our Facebook page boom baby it's CBS sports radio you are listening to the after hours podcast George Kittle had three touchdowns on us and he posted this thing to IG he said F Dallas I just feel like he's making a world way more personal than it had to be Kittle's my guy but I'm gonna say this laugh now cry later we got something for that just trust if we see them again just trust and we're gonna put it just like that I ain't gonna put too much on it you're gonna make it personal we can make it personal that's cool this is after hours with Amy Lawrence Micah Parsons on the Micah Parsons pod I think it's on Bleacher Report one of my faves he comes out every Monday with his podcast and he's open and authentic and honest about how the Cowboys played that week and what they're dealing with Trayvon digs the loss of him a couple weeks ago and I really enjoy hearing what he has to say not to mention watching the man motor all over a football field well Deebo Samuels the Niners wide receiver was on the show up in Adams with Kay Adams you may remember her she used to do Good Morning Football on NFL Network and now does she is it YouTube I'm gonna have to I'm not exactly sure what the outlet is I'll go look but she's obviously very popular gets a lot of incredible guests fan dual tv I apologize for that sorry can't keep up with all the outlets but I should have said I should have looked before I said that so up in Adams with Kay Adams she had Deebo on her show Tuesday and he was responding to Micah Parsons saying laugh now cry later it was already personal before the game started now um 42 to 10 I don't think you like want to see us again it might be a little bit worse Micah Deebo I don't know I don't have to say I'm getting uncomfortable I don't know I don't know what we trust we trust you know laugh now cry later I mean I don't think you want to see us again oh I love it a little bit of a cat fight between the Niners and the the Cowboys that's good stuff it's good stuff 42 to 10 I don't think you like want to see us again laugh now cry later he actually spits Micah's words back out you know laugh now cry later I don't think you want to trust laugh now cry later I mean I don't think you want to see us again that's good stuff please I want to see it again I know that it wouldn't be as good if they were in the same division because it would take on a completely different lifeblood but whoo bring it they played in the postseason last year the divisional round that was in the bay area now regular season you can imagine the NFL will just randomly schedule these two teams to play each other moving forward be like a rivalry in college football that we get once a year random of course random of course yeah so Deebo Samuel responding now Jerry Jones he always does his weekly appearance Tuesdays on our Dallas affiliate 105.3 the fan was Sean and RJ and he was talking about how he doesn't think the gap between the two teams is nearly as big as what it appeared to be the it appeared to be a chasm let's be fair between the two teams on Sunday night the Cowboys had one really strong drive that was it the three interceptions in the second half on three consecutive drives by Dak Prescott even if the Cowboys were never going to come back that squashed I mean that demoralized the offense and it wasn't it's never as simple as Dak's playing like crap I mean that's just dumb that's no team sport is that simple but there are times when I watch Dak play right now and it almost feels as though he's second guessing hesitant is there a a hit to his confidence right now is he unsure because it's a new offense it's a new voice I don't know the offense isn't that different of course it's still built around him it's just Mike McCarthy calling the plays and I'm not sure if this thrown him for a loop it's not Kellen Moore there are times when he looks as as though he's a much younger QB right so I have this saying I mean it's accurate rookies giveth and they take it away rookie quarterbacks giveth and they take it away well in the case of Dak that's kind of how I feel right now there are times when it's bonehead rookie type mistakes and so yes there's plenty of blame to go around but Dak certainly does have to absorb some of that as the leader of the offense however it is not shaken the faith of one Jerry Jones Dak Prescott is a quarterback that can get us to the Super Bowl that's the way that's going to be we have other quarterbacks on that roster and players that certainly if something should happen to Dak but I want to be real clear Dak's very capable of making this team be where we want it to go see that's the thing I agree not so much about the Super Bowl I don't do predictions I don't do predictions I have no idea but I do agree that that Dak almost said Zach don't ask me why Dak can be a top flight elite quarterback I think he has all the physical tools he's obviously a great leader we know that locker room follows him and it can be so frustrating sometimes because I don't know what he's seeing I can't figure out what he's doing he can make the most brilliant throws he can chuck a ball into a tight window he seems at times to have good rapport with his receivers and I understand why Jerry Jones believes in him again on our Dallas affiliate oh what was that word our affiliate our Dallas sound like I was in slow-mo our Dallas affiliate I don't just want to say af at the beginning because that has taken on a whole new meaning oh 105.3 the fan with Sean and RJ I agree with what he's saying in concept and I like I said I do believe that when Dak is playing his best he can be one of the best quarterbacks in the league it's just that we don't see that on a consistent basis second most lopsided defeat under Mike McCarthy well actually his his entire coaching tenure in the NFL worse loss with Dak Prescott as the starter and this is the one against the Niners the Cowboys off until Monday and they play the Chargers now the Chargers don't have the same defense that's putting it mildly as do the San Francisco 49ers and the Cowboys generally play well after a loss and that's kind of the frustrating part I know for a lot of Cowboys fans is they get excited and then they feel like they get dropped on their head same thing with the Arizona Cardinals where the Cardinals score now it's right after they lost Trayvon Diggs there's a lot going on but they allow the Cardinals to score on all five possessions of the first half it's hard to stomach I can imagine if you're a Cowboys fan it's frustrating for me because I feel like I can never really get a beat on what this team is about they beat teams that are worse than them when are we going to see them beat teams that are better and the Cardinals are generally not better than they are but they still don't seem to have the ability on a regular basis to hang with the teams that are the best in their conference or the best in the league like I said I'm not even a Cowboys fan and I'm frustrated I just want them to to be who they are remember C.D. Lamb this past weekend was asked what's your identity and his response was I don't know and that's a tough place to be now five weeks in going into game number six you need a bleeping identity and the part that it the part that I'm sure is frustrating for a lot of people Dak Prescott should be one of the ways that you set your identity he's a strong personality as I say they all follow him he's a leader I know they're dealing with some injuries but every team is Leighton Vander Esch the latest one which is a tough one what is your identity well it's high time you figure it out if something should happen to Dak like what it's very cryptic very cryptic he gets lost on a desert island he I think Jerry's plotting something it's teleported to a different time zone different time era I mean they're they're doing well in terms of their run game I do think the offensive line is still pretty good Tony Pollard they clearly made the right decision with him versus Ezekiel Elliott the defense is top 10 in points against and yards and lala and they took a hit obviously because of what happened against the Niners but when it comes to passing yards we're not seeing that I don't know if you all remember it was a Clarence Hill that we had on the show going back to the beginning pre-season and asked him about the Cowboys either Clarence or Calvin Watkins so I was talking to him about the receivers and he assured me that the receiving crew the receiving core is no longer a question mark it's as good as it's been I mean there are some guys who we know can haul in the receptions and they can make plays but there's there's a disconnect there and and they've not been as good as advertised at least not yet no one on the Cowboys and that includes CeeDee Lamb none of the receivers on the Cowboys roster has caught more than a single touchdown at this point so who's your number one I mean theoretically it should be CeeDee right I guess he he does lead the team in yards or leads the receiving core in yards all right on Twitter A-Law Radio our Facebook page too asking me anything is straight ahead here's our latest sports update you are listening to the After Hours Podcast this is After Hours with Amy Lawrence time to ask Amy anything sort of I talked too long before the break before the update so I can't beat around the bush just got to get right to it thank you for your questions for asking me if you don't hear your question we'll go back and read on social because I do answer a bunch of questions after the fact on Wednesday it's After Hours here on CBS Sports Radio with Jay all right let's start right here this one comes from Doc he wants to know if you were to adopt a pet that it was not a dog or a cat what would it be a turtle a turtle a turtle I had a turtle when I lived in Oklahoma so now 20 years ago named Travis really funny he wrapped himself up in a blanket and for four months didn't move he hibernated in his I mean it was a plastic tub that I put him in inside a blanket and did not come out for four months it's crazy he just he was in there I would unwrap the blanket because I was worried that he was dead nope just hibernating yeah he was just you know they're cold-blooded so their their circulation really slows down their heart rate really slows down with animals that hibernate in the well reptiles that hibernate in the winter and so he he didn't come out for four months if I can crawl away for four months I probably would wrapped up in his towel never moved unless I made him come out and then he just looked at me all right David wants to know have you or asks have you ever had to change a tire I have actually I've changed a tire the thing is I don't carry well I do have the jack so I could put it up on the jack on the side of the road but I so I do think I have a jack it's a small one in my car kind of one of those emergency ones but I don't feel safe on a highway now I would do it my own driveway that wouldn't be an issue at all but to do it on a highway when cars are flying by you cars and semis at 75 80 miles per hour no way now I call AAA so I would do it safely in my own driveway or in my neighborhood but I would

do love the ferris wheels but my favorite carnival ride the carnies if you will are is it's now it changed when I was younger I love the swings when I was a kid where you're flying out you're right and your legs are like like dangling except that they're out to the side because of the centrifugal force anyway my favorite one now is the one where you sit so there's a big pole and you everybody sits with their backs to the pole in this there's uh there's probably 12 of you or whatever maybe uh four sections and they slowly slowly slowly crank you up to the top of this pole and then you pause at the top of the pole your feet are dangling down you don't know when they're gonna drop you sometimes they do like a quick drop and then stop they slam on the brakes again and then they drop you that's it you're just waiting you're up there your your heart is in your throat yeah exactly you are waiting for them to drop you so it's a free fall of some sort but man do I love that now I want to
