My dough never sees a freezer. Faye Hollis makes the biscuits at Hardees. I'm up at 5 a.m. every day making biscuits from scratch. Easy there, biscuit lady.
Ought to create the Hardy's $2 for $5 breakfast menu. Try the new Oscar Meyer bologna biscuit, sausage and egg biscuit, smoked sausage biscuit, biscuit and gravy, or a cinnamon roll. The $2 for $5 breakfast for a limited time only at participating Hardees. I got up early. The least you can do is show up hungry.
Really? Really? You're not here for the incest? Exactly, bro. Me too.
Unfortunately, there's a few idiots that are here for that. And why they think that I would be here for that We're here to talk about that. I have no idea other than they're imbeciles. Hey, Jersey's finest. Brother, we are on the same page.
Don't WTH me. Yeah, I know. I posted that right there. At Jersey's Finest. I came here for sports, not incest, Rome, WTH, me too.
Jersey's finest. What do you think? You think that when I was young, I got it in my head, what do I want to do with my life? I know, I wanna play in the NBA. That's not gonna happen.
I know, I want to be an MLBer. Oh, that's not going to happen. I know I really want to be in the NFL. That's not going to happen. How do I stay in sports?
Maybe I can be a broadcaster. Yeah. And you know why? You know why I want to be on the radio?
So I could talk about incest. No, that that never came to my mind. Jersey's finest, I know, bro. Believe me, you don't know Alvin? You don't know how hard it is to be me.
I'm not complaining. I'm just saying, it's not as easy to be me as you think.
Sometimes I can't delete the bull crap as quickly as it comes in and it slides through somehow. I'm with you, Jersey's finest. I'm here to talk sports too. Believe it or not. Every day.
For decades. I'm with you. Preach, my brother. It's idiots like V. Then make it so hard.
And that's not a term of endearment. I mean that, V. V., sometimes you act like an idiot. Was not going there. Still not going there.
That's that was the story. All right, so there, let me just say the sound part out loud. That was the story that some of you morants wanted me to talk about, I'm not talking about.
So, by process of elimination, do the math. It's not that hard. The other thing is the thing that I might get to.
Now the one thing I normally get to is each or oh. Ichiro chasing a World Series still at age fifty two. that you knew he was never going to get with the Mariners because he played for the Mariners. And how is he chasing it? By taking the ball.
making over one hundred pitches, striking out seventeen, and carving fools. Except those fools are teenage girls. Yet he's acting like it's the World Series. Because of course he's acting like it's the World Series. It is his World Series.
He played for the Mariners. That story I will get to. I have no issue going there. All right, also coming up later. Baron Davis Former NBAer Investor Entrepreneur and T V host.
He has a T V show about the Raiders.
So it seemed to me since it is hell week. Flashback Friday Flashback Friday to hell week back in the day when I started on 690 and we would talk about the Chargers and the Raiders. And we would spend the entire week. Talking about that matchup because those two hate each other's guts. And I decided, as I mentioned earlier this week, I couldn't spend my whole career doing that.
So we syndicated.
so I can talk about other things. But you gotta throw it back sometimes. You just have to throw it back sometimes.
So Baron Davis will join me next hour. All right, as promised. I found my guest. We are joined right now by a Super Bowl champion. He played 13 years in the NFL, all with the New York Giants.
He is a member of the Giants Ring of Honor. He is the franchise's all-time leader in receptions, receiving yardage and receiving TDs. He is the co-host of the Big Blue Report. He is Amani Tumer. Amani, dude, it is awesome to see you, man.
Spin a minute. How are you doing? It has been a minute. We're both a little grayer. I don't know.
Because it's been a minute, as I mentioned. A long minute. But dude, you look great. You look great. Great to have you.
Listen, because you and I go so far back, all the way back to when you played, even before that, almost, aside from the podcast, which we'll get to, bring me up to date. What's keeping you busy?
Well, I got a kid who's playing at St. Peter's Prep in um in uh Jersey City. My daughter's playing sports, so I'm just playing basketball at Wehawk in high school, and I'm just following them around. And really, I'm just enjoying life. I have a couple businesses, things I do on the side, but nothing that's as fun or even come close as watching my kids or playing in the NFL.
Bro, it's so good to hear. I love hearing that from you. We had two kids that played baseball through high school, and then they got out. And I'm here to tell you, even though I never played the game at a high level, I've talked about the game at a high level for a long, long time with people like you and other elite athletes. And still, nothing brought me as much joy and juice and nerves as watching my kids play even high school baseball.
What's it like for you to watch your kids ball? Oh, it's it's very um You know,'cause you want to do so much for them. That You want to just be like, just go on the side, let me play. You know what I mean? But, you know, you have to teach them, you have to put the time into them.
But one of the things I really enjoy is I have a lot of information on how to mentally get through football, not just what's on the field, but in the locker room, how to deal with coaches, how to, you know. Grind a way to get the plays together.
So, all that stuff I feel like I can really help him with. And now he's in a position to where. you know, all the I can really pour into him some of the information.
So it's very rewarding to me selfishly, but also to see your son go out there and achieve or go out there and use some of the stuff that you've taught him. It's the best thing ever. And then it brings us closer together. And it's just an experience that I want him to have, a football experience. And now I feel like he's in a place where he can really enjoy and get this football experience.
I don't care if he's good or not. I just want him to understand what it's like to play on a team because that to me, after playing all these years, the most important thing was learning how to be a good teammate with other people. Man, I love that so much. That was our whole thing, too. I never had any kind of false illusion or delusion that our kids would play college baseball or go beyond that, but I wanted them to play high school baseball.
No matter what, I wanted them to be a part of a team because there's so much you can learn from being a part of a team, even at that level. Amani Toomer is joining us.
So, speaking of coaches and dealing with coaches, you're still around the Giants. You're close to them. Man, great vibe, great vibe around the team for the first time in a long time. What did you like most about their opening win in John Harbaugh's debut? He said he was gonna bring the bully.
John Harbaugh says he's gonna bring the bully. And Throughout all the offseason, they were getting all these players. I'm like, okay, I can recognize that. Brings Ricard the full back. I was like, okay, all right.
And then the first game happened. And when you saw them Just go at the Cowboys' neck. I don't remember the last time I've seen a Giants team control both sides of the line of scrimmage the way they did. And the reckless abandon Abdul Carter played with, and it was just. It w brought me back to some of the teams that I was on and I was Finally, very proud, not just of the organization, but the effort that they showed on the field.
And that's something. That I don't really give out, I'm not the type of guy to give out real flowers. I'll call it like I see it. And I see a team that is physical and that, you know, I don't know how good they're going to be, but I know they're going to be able to, they're going to throw some blows and bloody some people's noses. I know that.
Right. And you can be proud of what you see. And they did go right at their neck. Amani Toomer joining us. Amani, what about Jackson Dart?
Like, he spent a little more time in the blue 10 than any quarterback ever would want to. But then you see how much juice that he brings to it. And that win over Dallas and his playmaking ability. What more do you need to see from him before you consider him an actual franchise QB?
Well, one thing that nobody talks about with Jackson Dart is his accuracy. I mean, you never see Aaron throws with him. He always throw puts the ball in a place where the receivers can catch it. And I think he's he has a lot of talent. And he has a great system that he's learning from Nate Nag uh the the the offense coordinator uh j uh Jim Nagy.
Jeff Nev Nagy. I don't know why I'm partnering with Matt and Aggie. Matt and Aggie, sorry. I was so impressed with the way he called the game that I just I don't know, I don't know, I just brain farted anyway. But Matt Nagy as a quarterback coach, who's been around some of the best quarterbacks, I just feel like he's in a very good situation for success with Roman also being the run game coordinator.
So I feel like there's a lot. For him to do now, we just need to see him do it over and over and over again, year in and year out. You know, Giants creator Monty Tumer is joining us on the program right now. Amani, you obviously know what it takes to be a difference-making wide receiver. I want to get your thoughts on Malik Neighbors.
So he comes back from that torn ACL. We saw what he did before he got hurt. How did he look to you in his first game back? I mean, he looked a little he looked good. I mean, he looked good.
I mean, I I remember I tore both of my ACLs.
So I remember how long it really takes your leg to get the pop back. And I feel like. I don't know if he has the pop back yet in terms of like being able to move as quickly as he once was before. But I thought for a first time out of the gate, I thought he, you know, he got tackled. He, you know, he got open.
But to get to the next level, to get to where we expect him to be, it's just going to take time. And I'm fully confident that he'll be able to get there. I was excited to see him back on the field. And I know a lot of the Giants fans were as well.
So, for instance, if he comes back to where you expect him to come back and he gets that pop back, like and he stays healthy, what's his ceiling? Who knows? I mean, this guy is big, fast, mean, can catch the ball any w direction. You know, he could be as good as he wants to be. But we all know that in this league, it's not just about how good you are.
you know, one year, two years, it's how it's how you put together, you know, 10, 11 years is how you're going to be remembered.
So I feel like he's well on his way to being a great receiver in the league. I wouldn't say he right now, he's like up in the upper echelon only because of injuries situation, but he has all the ability to be as good as he wants to be. We're talking Amani Tumer. Amani, when you won the Super Bowl, of course, your team famously got in the playoffs as a wild card to five seed. When you look back on that season and that amazing run, and sometimes I'm not saying that you weren't the best team, sometimes it's the hottest team, but maybe you were both.
But what were the biggest reasons that that team got as hot as it did when it did and wrecked the Patriots and their dream season? Desperation. I mean W we went to our first Uh we lost our first two games. We're going down into Washington and we're down 21 to nothing. And or seventeen and nothing.
And We ended up winning that game. Let's go to 2117. That whole season They were going to fire Coughlin. They were going to get rid of Eli. They were going to clean the house.
We were desperate to win. And that desperation just kind of rolled on. And so every time we went in a situation where, Where our backs are against the wall, we were so used to that situation that it didn't really make our heart rate go up. We were comfortable being uncomfortable. And whenever a situation got big, that's when we played bigger.
And that's one of the reasons why I feel like that team was so special. And I couldn't understand why we were so. We were such underdogs to the Patriots. I know they had won 18 games in a row, but. Weird.
Almost beat them. the last game of the season And we scored thirty-five on him. We thought we let him off the hook.
So We were just shocked that everybody doesn't study football as well as we felt like they should have. Because if they know, if they did, they would know that that matchup between us and the Patriots was a much tighter matchup than them versus anybody else because of the way we dominated both sides of the line screen. I was going to say two things, right? The only things that matter, number one, it's a game of matchups, always has been. And number two, the only people who really matter are the 53 in the room.
Amanda, the point you made is really interesting. Like, everybody was trying to run Eli Manning. Everybody was coming for Tom Coughlin.
So what were you guys playing for? Were you playing for each other? Were you playing for your coach? Were you playing for your quarterback? Is the answer yes?
Like, what were you playing for? All the above because usually When you get your head coach gets fired, They're going to come in and they're going to bring in a whole new team. We were an older team at the time. A lot of our guys, we had a lot of veteran guys. We had RW quarters.
We had Sam Madison, Kavika Mitchell. We brought in all these free agents that year. It was do or die. Like, either we were going to play well and win, or they were going to clean house. And we knew through the media and through the way that the Giants operate, you know, it wasn't acceptable the records that we had the year before.
Just going to the playoffs wasn't acceptable anymore, and heads were going to roll.
So we felt like. If it's now, it's going to be now or never. And there was a lot of guys who were like me that were in the upper 30s that this was their really last chance to. To have a run into play in the Super Bowl.
So that's kind of all that mixed together. And with all that pressure, we just, it was one of those situations where we weren't going to go down without a big, big, big time fight. Man, I remember those days so clearly. You used to come on the program, and what a locker room, man. I love that locker room.
The personalities in that locker room. The alphas in that locker room. The leadership in that locker room. It was so much fun back in the day to talk to those guys. Before you go, Amani, I mentioned that you recently joined the Big Blue Report as a co-host.
So you've got some businesses. Your kids are playing ball, but how much fun are you staying close to the game and being able to chop it up about your franchise? And especially since it seems like they've turned the corner. Especially this is what you said, Jim. Especially since they've turned the corner because I do the postgame show for the Giants every week and I've done it for quite a while and it gets to the point where you know, halfway through the season, You're talking about, you know.
Well, they look better than they did last week. Or you're like, oh, maybe they'll get a good draft. I mean, it's just you not talking about football. You're not talking about the game because they're inconsequential. I just want to be having talking about.
Real Consequential football games that matter In November and December, and it looks like we're well on our way to that. All right, so one last thought. You got a consequential football game coming up this weekend. The Chargers obviously look like, I mean, Amani, forgive me for the phrase, they look like ass in the first week. You know, they're looking to bounce back.
You know, they are. What does John Harbaugh and the defense do to slow down this offense? Because you know, man, they're in a must-win situation. I mean, the Rams, I should say. The Rams, not the Chargers.
Well, the Chargers are too. What about the Rams? The high-octane offense. What do you do to slow them down? I think you Rinse and repeat.
They need to be physical and let that be their calling card. And if they're this physical and they play with this much emotion and this much reckless abandon, like Abdul Carter played with. I'm telling you, I'm not worried about them playing any week because this team are young. They're hungry. And you know, they got a coach that they believe in.
Uh I just rinse and repeat. I feel like if they just come out and play like they played against the Cowboys, now we don't know how good the Cowboys are, but. This physical brand of football, it travels well. It goes through every time zone. It's going to go through every country, you know, every stadium.
If they keep him playing as physical, they're going to be all right.
Well, to your point, we don't know about the Cowboys, but then again, Dak Prescott was saying, Gotti, Gotty, greatest offense there is.
So we'll find out this week against the Rams. But so far, so good. Amani, dude, you sound great. You look great. I'm so glad we got caught up, man.
I appreciate you. Always have. Oh, thanks a lot. Always have. Thank you.
Thanks, Jim. All right. Good to see you, bro. Really good to see you. Amani Tumer.
What a great conversation. I love that. I love getting caught up with guys that we haven't gotten caught up with in a minute. That was fun. That was fun.
And you know what? Notice how much more fun it is to be a former giant or to be a part of giant. nation when they're that good and they're a bully. You can just tell the vibe, the energy. He just said it.
When I host their post-game show and we're halfway through the year and we're not talking about the games, we're not talking about a consequential matchup. We're talking about ah, draft picks. What do we do here? What did we do well this weekend? Defeat.
He said, nah. We'll punch you in the face.
So I also brain farted for a minute, but it was It's true, both LA teams needed badly this week. And they were both ass in week one. And they both need it badly. Both were humiliated, both were beaten down, both did not play to anywhere near expectation. The Rams in Australia.
I'll get to that a little bit later on. Sean McVay is now saying, I hope we never do that again. I hope we never ever have to play that game again. Oh, we never travel like that again. And then The chargers Real thing, man.
I'm not saying the Raiders are a playoff team. I'm saying the Chargers could lose that game. They could. I'm saying they better not. All right, my thanks to Amani Tumer.
That was fun. Good stuff.

Follow and listen on your favorite platform. Just saw something that fired me up. I'll get to it in one second. I want to remind you, clones, one quick question: why is old Trapper Beef Jerky so amazing? Why don't we start with the fact that it's a family run business, a family run business which stands by quality and has a standard.
And the standard is to produce the world's finest beef jerky. And the standard is the standard, and that's exactly what they've done. Produced the world's finest beef jerky. Do not get tricked by other brands. All beef jerky is not the same, far from it.
Make sure you choose Old Trapper where you can actually see the quality right through their iconic. Clear view packages. They set it up like that. They want you to see exactly what you're purchasing. And then every single bite of Old Trapper is tender.
It's never tough because they use just the best ingredients. Once again, they don't have to do that either, but they do it because they want to make the best product that there is. From their lean strips of beef, seasoned with top quality spices to their real wood-fired smoke.
Well, Trapper does deliver quality in every single bite. I love it. I eat it every single day. We have so much of it around here. I love it for its taste.
I love it for the energy that I get from it. It's just a great, great product. Four different flavors. They're all amazing. Grab and go with a four-ounce bag if you haven't tried it yet.
That way you can get each of the four. Or, if you know what you want, load up with the 18-ounce bag where there's enough for the entire team. If you do not see it, ask for old trapper by name because knowing the jerky compares to old trapper, what is your beef?
Okay, so I mentioned I saw something that fired me up. At JPZ on chat, sent me this. What the heck are you doing in Terra Verde? Let's see. He's got a pick.
This is in Florida somewhere in a bar. They had the show up. Intera Verde. Which is in Ah We didn't have the pickup. I thought we had it.
Anyway. To the bar. I gotta find out what bar that is. to whichever bar Is in Terra Verde. In Florida, With the show up on the screen.
And thanks so much. Love that. Appreciate you. That is a really cool thing. I love when people are still showing There it is, JPZ.
Dude, nice spot. Bro. Let me know what the bar is so I can shout them out. What the heck are you doing in Terra Verde? I don't know.
Ask the guy who's got the show up. Looks cool though, good hang. He's got hashtag Jim Roman X, hashtag GoGators, hashtag unwar war eagle. Another big game.
Well for Florida, they're all big games right now. All right, so. Today's LSU update is that Sam Levitt Has been upgraded from doubtful to questionable. For tomorrow's Titanic matchup with Ole Miss.
Now, yesterday I said that I thought. It was incredibly doubtful. that he was doubtful. Today, I think it's incredibly questionable that he's questionable. Man, my dude is a fan of Fast healer.
from doubtful to questionable. Miraculous healing. Needless to say, I am not at all surprised to hear that Levitt is trending in a positive direction because you know that dude's gonna play tomorrow. Of course, he's going to play tomorrow. I fully assume that all these goofy status updates are just another one of Lane's goofy mind games.
But You don't even need to take it from me. Take it from somebody who knows Lane much better than I ever would. Take it from somebody who knows him extremely well.
Somebody who famously clashed with Lane. after hiring Lane and becoming one of Lane's biggest and most important mentors. I'm talking about the old red ass himself, Nick Sabin. This is what Sabin told ESPN earlier today about the Lovett situation. If I was a if I was a betting man, I would say there's absolutely nothing wrong with Sam Levitt.
So, I would be psychologically telling the defensive players that this doesn't matter. I like the old red ass. For a guy that used to say nothing at all, he's actually pretty good at what he does now. The guy that knows Lane and knows how Lane operates as well as anybody is not buying any of this for a second. And neither am I, and neither is Vegas because the line hasn't budged.
LSU is still a field goal favorite on the road in the biggest game in Oxford in, I don't know, forever. And as you would expect, things are already getting really nutty in Oxford as we get closer and closer to the kickoff. In fact, There's even this amazing video going around social media. It's like crazy Nick fan outside of MSG, but it's the Oxford edition. This is Nick's Psycho if Nick's Psycho was actually an old Miss Fratbro.
So boys, what are our thoughts on Lane Kiffin? He's a p I personally think he's a shrink. Lane Kiffin, he used to walk this path.
Now, the only path he's walking on is the road to hell. They need to drop a finger. On Lane Kiffin. That guy's a antichrist. He's such a family guy.
That guy is literally the head of. Ice it! If you're if you're an LC fan, you can try coming to the tent. You get me with a middle finger and a f You f off. If Wayne Given.
I'd be happy. Traitor. He's got it. Traitor. Alright, no more bad words, though.
What are your thoughts on Lane Kiffen? Yolane. I think you should remind these students that the pressure is actually on them, not on you. Because they seem to have forgotten. Yo, Lane, I think you should remind all these kids that everybody won.
When you dump them before the playoff run last year, I think these totally sober dudes would definitely agree with that take. Nice work, fellas. But I do feel like I have to point this out. None of you bros had any issues with the quote. Effing head of ISIS when he was dialing up plays for you bros.
None of you bros were calling for bombs to be dropped on Effing Lane Kiffen when he was bringing blue chip after blue chip to Oxford. None of you bros were calling him a shrimp. When he was on your campus chasing your co-eds and winning games for your program. But I will give these totally sober bros this much. They were a lot funnier and a lot more entertaining than these alleged professional comedians who put together the official roast of Lane Kiffin in Oxford this week.
Check this out. Here is the local news report on the official Lane Kiffin roast. Lane did something impossible with his lawsuit against the SEC. He got the entire SEC conference and all the states in the South to agree on something other than 18's a little too old for the age of consent. Lane Kiffin writes material for us every day.
In true Lane Kiffin fashion, he's been writing more and more, you know what I'm saying? He's like the Charlie Sheen of college football, so I think he gave us plenty of stuff to write about. Walt Carr runs the Oxford Comedy Collective. He organized the roast and knew the crowd would eat it up. People say, you know, you shouldn't roast somebody without them being there.
That's kind of, people don't do that. And I said, you know what else they don't do? They don't leave a playoff team right before they start a playoff. Because in Oxford, everywhere you turn, and I mean everywhere, people are ready for Lane Kippens' return. I mean Boom, roasted.
You would have been so much that that's a roast. Not exactly the Tom Brady roast, was it? It's like you're all bragging about all the material he's giving you, and then you have no material. That that was a roast? Those drunk frat bros.
You should have dragged them out there for the roast. It would have been a much better roast. They needed to drop a finger. Bomb. That's how you roast somebody.
Boom! Roasted! He's the bleeping head of ISIS. Boom! Roasted!
He's a shrimp, boom, roasted. Personally, we need to drop a bomb on that guy's head. Boom, roasted. There's your roast. Those frap bros had it.
If any of them were under point three, point three five. What an insane situation this is. But again, remember, everybody just needs to remember that the pressure isn't actually on lane. It's all on Ole Miss. Still maybe my favorite lane kiff and take ever.
Because it's so absurd. He actually said that with a straight face. Although, Lane's take this week about the new John Talty book was pretty great too. I had John on the podcast recently. Go check that out if you missed it.
You can get a real preview of the book. John was great on our podcast. But here's how Lane, when asked about the book, Here's how Lane summed up the book for ESPN. Quote I can save you $33 in lots of reading time by summing up the book this way. Old, unnamed sources say Lane used to argue with Sabin, drink alcohol, and hang out with hot women.
New unnamed sources say Lane gets along with Sabin, doesn't drink alcohol, but still hangs out with hot women. End quote.
Now that's a great take. Not as incredible as the pressure isn't on me, it's on old miss. But pretty damn close. And as easy as it is to hate this guy, you do have to admit he does have a history of hanging out with hot women. Even he won't deny that.
And he denies pretty much everything. But he won't deny that. Safe to assume that's never going to change.
So what I'm saying is Lane is pretty much the same exact guy he always was, except he no longer fights with Nick Sabin. He traded booze for hot yoga. And that's it. Aside from that, he's the same exact guy, same as he ever was, and believe me, Lane, we will not get fooled again. But We might need to change the lyrics to Smoke Weed Talk Bleep.
to chase hot women and create chaos like Lane Giffen. All right, so there's all that. All the chaos, all the drama, but hey, Rome, what about the game? What about the game? What about that game?
I've got some bad news, Oxford. I've got a feeling. Old Lane has a little something for old Miss, a little something up his sleeve. The dude lives for this stuff. This is his crack.
This is his crack. Crack is whack.
Well, aside from hot women, This is his crack.
Now I have to admit. As much as I love Trinidad Chambliss, and I think that he's the best quarterback in the SEC, he might be the best player. In college ball right now. I'm leaning towards laying the points for Wild Man Lane. And the reason for that I like his defense.
I like him on that day. Because this is his crack. I like his play calling. I like Charlie Weiss Jr. I like their defense.
I do not trust. or miss his defence. And this is one of those rare moments That this guy lives for. Man, he He loves this. Weirdly, he loves this.
And he's still a savant on Saturday. You know what? Not only am I leaning towards doing it, I'm going to do it. I'm going to lay the points. Really, the pressure's on them.
No, it's not, Lane. You know it's not. Come on, stop with that. You guys just get to go play, and the the pressure's not on you. Stop that.
Stop that. The pressure is all on you. Everything's on you, but weirdly, that's how you like it. I'm going to take Lane. In the d in the den.
With all the hostility. and weirdly he can block it all out. In those moments, and I like his defense, and I like it a lot better actually than old Missus. Offensively, I think it's a really interesting matchup. And we're not sure how dang the levit is, if at all.
But I'm gonna take lane, I'm gonna lay the points. Three points. That guy is literally the head of Ice it! Like I said, it's like NickFan outside of MSG, except it's old Miss Fratbro. Clean.
They never did, but they never actually said Trey Young was the bleeping head of ISIS. They never went that far. Joe! Yeah. No is laying kiff invalid?
No! Is laying Kipp in the effing head of Isis? Easy, Frapro. Easy, bros. Easy.
Fret bro, this guy was your idol twelve minutes ago. Like I said, It it's a perfect comp. Paul Westerberg was my idol because he did rock star things that I thought were hilarious and so funny that only like lead guys of a band that you love could do. I mean, he was the ultimate rock star, the way he disrespected the entire establishment and everybody, and then he rock starred me, and then I was all bent. Like, you can't all miss.
What did you think? You loved him when he did all that stuff until he did it to you. That guy's a f ⁇ ing antichrist. And then I had to admit that I was wrong. Westerbrook was not wrong.
It was me. I was the one that got all blasted and drunk and foolish and rolled up on him, and then he put me in my place. You rock starred me. You can't love a guy for being a rock star, only to have that guy rock star you. Like, yay, be careful when you meet your idols.
Especially if they're rock stars, and especially if you're way drunker than they are. If you love the rock star for being a guy who's drunk on stage, and then you meet that rock star and you're drunker than he is, and you act like an idiot, you're gonna get rock starred. Seamus, quote. I have no dog in this fight, but after watching those lames, I'm pulling for Lane. That's saying something.
Which lames? The Frat Bros or the Lames in the Comedy Club. If you're talking about the lames in the comedy club exactly. That those guys do make you want Lane to win. Man, i if they gave you if he gave you so much incredible material, then why was that the worst roast ever?
Honestly. It should have been the easiest roast ever. And if it was the best roast ever, why were there like eight people there to see it? It's not like everybody in town isn't lying in wait for this guy. Why was the best roast ever attended by fewer people?
Than those doing the roasting, and those doing the roasting were the worst roasters ever. Like I said. The old Miss Frat Boys dit were bleep canned. Did a better roast. Jim.
The Mississippi Queen Better than All miss frat boys. Um it's not always free, but it's always there. She's better than almost everything. The Mississippi Queen better than Ole Miss Frat Boys, but I would argue Ole Miss Frat Boys better than Ole Miss Roasters. If we're scoring things.
Ray in the LA South Bay Psych. Who you got?
Alright, so now we've laid out the drama. And I showed you the Nick fan version. The no, check that. The old Miss Frat Boy version of Nick Fan outside of MSG. Who you got?
Let's talk about the game. Who you got?
What do you think is going to happen in Oxford? Who you got?
I just don't think defensively. Or Miss can match up. Break. Not they'll okay. I mean, I will.
I don't think they can match up. right now. I think they'll be better defensively. Later than they are right now, but they're playing LSU right now. I'm laying the points.

L like Jersey's bestists said, We're here for sports. Not incest.
Alright, so why don't we regroup and reset? We could talk about what happened last night in Buffalo. We could talk about what's going to happen tomorrow in Oxford. We could talk about any other games: North Carolina and Clemson. I'm not gonna lie to you.
I am very, very concerned. That my guy Dabbo could lose to my guy The Moo Man And that would be a terrible thing for Dabbo. He can't have that loss. And by the way, it could happen. It could happen.
If North Carolina goes into the Death Valley and they beat Clemson, the heat on Dabo is going to be at an all-time high. Yeah, it happens. I hope it doesn't happen. Giants, we had a Monty Tumor on Giants v. Rams.
Could the Rams lose that game? They could. The Giants are a boy. Was that just a one-off? Was that just Australia?
or are the rams not who we thought they were? The Chargers and Raiders. Baron Davis is going to join me next hour. We'll talk about that. When we come back, I want to get into Icharo.
I want to talk about Ich Road because this just cracks me up. Each row is still coming hard, still competing hard. That's next. Hey, I'm Chris Fanvliet. Go behind the scenes and beyond the headlines with the biggest names in pro wrestling and beyond.
