You're talking baseball. Yes, you will. Yes, you will. And you'll be the one I do. Jeff Francor.
Former ML Beer and the Braves lead TV analyst joins us. Top of our number two. In hour number three. He had a big win. He had a big win, so I'm going to bring him back.

Me. I'm going to start dealing.
So after that insane weekend of football there are maybe I don't know About a hundred places I could start. But I want to start by asking. Who has it the worst? Who did it the worst? Who has it the worst right now?
Who had the worst weekend because there is so much competition? Was it Lane Kiffin? Was it Baker Mayfield? Was it Caleb Williams and or Jaden Daniels? Is it the Falcons QB situation?
Is it, as always, yes? But I'm not gonna start with the negative. Why would I come off a weekend like that and start with the negative, although there is so much negative? No. I'm going to start with something else.
I'm not starting on a negative note today. I'm not starting this week on a negative note. Instead, I am starting with, wait for it. The Autumn Wind and the 2-0 Raiders. Raider fan, where are you?
Raider fan, you're 2-0. Not only 2-0, but 2-0 off of a massive dub over the Chargers. Man, how sweet is that? When was the last time you felt this good, Raider fan? Al Davis.
is spiking the ball. In his coffin right now, telling everybody he was right about Lane all along, and that the Raiders are back. Mm-hmm. The Raiders, the same raiders, who invaded Sofi yesterday. Took it over and then beat the Chargers into submission.
Maybe the Chargers can schedule that game in Australia next year. I thought the Charger team colors were gold and blue, not silver and black. Never would have known looking at that crib. Here's a quick question. Hey!
Who's got it better than the Chargers? Everybody. And look, I don't want to write anybody or any team off completely after only two weeks, but I think it is pretty fair to say that Justin Herbert is not going to go down, is not going to go down as the greatest quarterback of all time, like Jim Harbaugh continues to scream from the rooftops. But hey, at least Harbaugh has plenty of experience starting seasons 0-2, right? Oh, wait.
No, he doesn't. Because that somehow is the first time that dude has ever started a year 0-2. And it's not just 0-2. It's two horrendous losses. Look at this stat.
Quote The Chargers are the second team in NFL history to lose back to back games by double digits with both coming at home against teams that had a sub two hundred win percentage the previous season. The other was the 1926 Racine Tornadoes. Who played one more game before they just folded the franchise? The Racine Tornadoes had it right, because the only thing left to do after starting a season that pathetically is just fold the team. Feel free to find that panic button now, Charger fan, because it appears that McVape.
And his capris are not the answer to unlocking that offense. In fact, somehow, Mike McDaniel. has Herbert looking even worse than before. And it wasn't just Herbert and Big Fabes' offense, though. For the second week in a row, the Chargers were horrendous as a team, all phases.
Derwin James summed it up pretty well. They look like trash. The entire offense, trash. McVape, trash. Herbert, trash.
The defense, trash. I have never seen a Harbaugh team Coach team. Look less prepared, more undisciplined, and less worthy of being on the field with the opposition. And the opponents in question were two of the worst teams in all football last year. One of them was the worst team in all football last year.
And they knew they had to have it against that worst team in all football at home. And still got smoked. Put another way, these were the two games they had to win because the games only get tougher from here. And yet the Chargers did not come close to winning either one of those games.
So now. Unless they get this cleaned up stat. They could be looking at not Owen Two, but Owen Six. Or worse. And as I mentioned, I have never seen a Jim Harbaugh team.
Coach team looks more unprepared or undisciplined or lost than this team. Man, terrible. Terrible.
Meanwhile, Clint Kubiak, first-year first-time head coach, and Kirk Cousins have the Raiders at 2-0. And we haven't even gotten to the Mendoza phase of the year yet. And if Kirk keeps putting up wins like this, who knows when we'll get to Mendoza? And honestly, who cares? As I've been saying for months, what exactly is the rush anyway?
In fact, I seriously think I may go hit up in and out after the program and crush a 3x3 in Kirk's honor. Hell, I might slam a second one for Klinkubiak, too. Because that dude coached Harbaugh right under the table. And I also kind of like that Clint was clearly offended by the point spread. Hold on for a minute.
I love, remember back in the day, Before gambling became this prominent, I remember how guys, the coaches, the players, everybody, everybody would say, Oh, we're not aware of the point spread. We're not aware of the point spread.
Now they use it as fuel. Kubiak very clearly was aware of the point spread. How do you change a place? You do something they say you can't. You gotta f Did something that said you can't.
Seven point dogs. That. Great job, man. Great job. Hey guys, I'm I'm so proud Bad dude's fired up.
He's fired up. I love that energy. And that always was a crazy spread. But I'm not sure there was anybody in the world who said that the Raiders can't beat the Chargers. Like, he wants you to believe that, and he's telling his guys that.
But I'm not sure anybody said that. It actually seemed like everybody thought the Raiders could. Beat the Chargers. Hell would beat the Chargers. And then they did.
But the only surprising thing about the Raiders beating the Chargers yesterday was how unsurprising it was. The only surprise for the Chargers so far is that Justin Herbert isn't hurt. Yet. that we know of. But But you Raider fan, get up in here.
Get up in here, Raider fan, before I move on. 2-0, man. How good does that feel? 2-0 after a win over the Chargers. Man, that's gotta feel sweet.
Hey, Charger fan, go ahead and panic. Not only do you have my permission, You have my mandate. Go ahead and panic. You're 0-2. The stats bear this out.
Teams that start 0-2 do not generally make the playoffs, not often. And that 0-2 could be 0-6 if they don't clean it up. because you just lost to two arguably terrible teams. And the schedule's gonna get really rough, really fast. All right, segue.
Meanwhile, other quarterback injuries already starting to pile up. Of course, headline by what happened in Chicago. I'm still not exactly sure what really happened in Chicago, but I know this much: Chicago, you can take a deep breath. It seems, because apparently, Caleb Williams, it seems, is okay. Maybe.
Well His hamstring might be okay, but personally, just when he got everybody off his back, everybody is rushing back in to kill him yet again. More on that in a second. But in terms of the Hammy, the update this morning is that he's quote week to week and not yet ruled out for week three, although the Bears also say he's quote likely to miss some time, end of quote. Not ideal. We know that hamstrings can linger, but it seems like it's a scud dodged.
Because based on the way that guy went down, It could have been anything. The dude went down like he took sniper fire from the roof of the stadium, so I'm definitely glad to see that it's actually not that serious. Of course, social media had a different take.
Social media, as always, has a massive threshold for somebody else's pain, especially this dude's pain. And they've all decided that he was way too dramatic, played up that injury way too much. And just when people were finally starting to forget about his fingernails, now everybody has a new reason to call this dude soft, asking, when did anybody ever need a cart? For a hammy. after staying down as long as he did.
And after having like four guys walk him off the field. I mean a hammy. Did he get his leg amputated? Did I miss it? Was that Hammy torn right off the bone?
Like I don't know I don't know and I don't care the dude's always going to be a little bit different. Different is fine. As long as you're a star. And I think he is that. As for Tyson Bajant.
The Bears can hype him all they want. Because well, what are they supposed to do? And I think the guy does have ability. A couple of weeks of Bajing is fine, a couple of months of Bajant is not. If he has to play for an extended period of time, never mind the Super Bowl.
The Bears are not a playoff team. It says here. Especially with that defense. Right, so there's that injury. Jaden Daniels, on the other hand, Probably will be out a little bit longer because the last time he put his elbow on backwards.
He missed a month. And I've got to say, it's not great that this dude keeps putting his elbow on the wrong way. Hallig ready. Oh shit. Excuse me.
Was not expecting to see. Bacon face. Just letting it fly with the S-bomb on national television. Television, I mean, it is pretty gnarly. I'll give Bacon that much.
He's like, I wasn't expecting to see. A replay? The dude looked like he had an elbow growing out of his elbow. I just know the elbow is not supposed to go that way. You put his elbow on backwards again.
You know, one more quick thought about that. It's unfortunate. I hate it. When the guy's good, the guy's incredible. But if you can't go back to pass without putting your elbow on backwards, it does not suggest much for your availability.
How are you going to play NFL quarterback if you can't back up without putting your elbow on backwards? That's not good.
However, bacon Aside from just blurting out, oh, is shh. That was that may have been my favorite moment, but maybe not. Because later on in the broadcast, Dak Prescott had this dart. Man, this dime, this sideline laser. And this is how Brady described it.
320 yards, 24 and 29 out of second and long here. Rifles one, CD Lab. Goodness. Beautiful. Absolute pits missile up the sideline.
Samer still What? I ain't dude comfortable much. And that came after. The Ish Bomb. Like, you know, somebody had to have been in his ear, like, bro, bro, bro, bro.
We know that was gruesome. But you can't use four-letter bombs like that. On network television. All right, this is not a podcast. This is not your little improvement newsletter.
You can't do that. You gotta chill, dude. Take it easy. And then later in the game, I mean, I know he got hyped up. And it was it was an absolute dime, but A piss missile?
Is this the new Brady evolution in the booth? Like, he's just going to go blue and just start saying crazy things that nobody else can get away with saying on TV. Like, is that Tommy Brady? Or is that Tommy Smothers? Up in that booth.
Take your S-bombs and your rock the babies and your piss missiles and you're around the moon and get out of here. We were up at, um, Pebble Beach and Clay Walker, you know, my buddy country singer, we On Friday night, we do this nice little thing for the volunteers. I go over there, he goes over there, he plays some songs, and I tell a few stories. We take our wives and kids, it's just the volunteers, a little barbecue.
So we're getting ready, you know. We did it last year, they loved it, they wanted us to come back, and Tommy Smothers comes in. I don't even know who Tommy Smothers is, and everyone's like, He grabs the mic and he's up there. He's dropping F-bombs and he's swearing and trying to tell these jokes. He's doing Round the Moon and Rock the Baby in the Cradle.
I'm like, I turned to my wife, I said, who is this idiot? I mean, I've never even, I don't even know who he is. I mean, what a great country where you can just throw your yo-yo around. I got up there and told him, Look, Tommy, I said, I know you are, man. I know you're some sort of a legend from some kiddie show that you did 40 years ago.
But I said, How about you? And your F-bombs and your yo-yo, take it all away. All the marshals, and everyone's done. Getting him out of there, he finished up leaving, he got embarrassed. Absolutely.
That right there. was Peak Elk. And it's hard to pinpoint. Peak Elk because he had so many moments. But that story right there may have been peak elk.
Never get tired of that. Always grateful for a chance to hear the Tommy Smothers elk reset. Just like I'm always grateful for the chance to watch Daniel Jones lose in prime time. Oh wait, no I'm not. I would love to never ever see that dude play at night.
ever again. Daniel Jones. I don't even know how this is a real stop. He's now one and sixteen. in primetime.
The Colts have now lost nine games in a row. Hey, Shane Steichen, feel free to make an adjustment. Feel free to go for a win. Feel free to play for a win. Kind of hard to win when you're not even playing for a win.
Maybe if you guys actually played for some wins, you wouldn't have nine losses in a row. And something tells me that gal in the blue blazer with the headset on, does taking notes, does not enjoy losing every single week. She's right there on the sideline. She's got the best view of the whole thing. I mean, it's all incredible, right?
They decided they were all in on Daniel Jones and about to go win the Super Bowl.
So they trade two first-round picks for Sauce Gardner. They win the following game, and then they immediately lose the next nine in a row. I would say no other organization is in such a horrific free fall. But I would be lying because the Bucs and the Chargers and the Titans and the Falcons are all a freaking catastrophe as well. Yo, fail clowns I don't ever want to hear anyone complaining about the Fail Clowns gloss ever again.
I'll never even complain about it ever again because it's actually perfect. I'll admit, I can admit when I'm wrong, I'm not like you. I can admit when I'm wrong. I was wrong. to think that that was lame.
I was wrong to ever hate it. Fail clowns. Answer me this. Who's your quarterback? Who is starting under center in four days when you go to Lambeau?
Kevin Stafansky still can't answer that question. And I still can't figure out how the hell that guy ever won two Coach of the Year awards because he could not be doing any less with what he has in the ATL. This team hasn't even been in the red zone yet after two games. And yet we get to watch Atlanta. in prime time for their next three games?
I mean, I guess that's better than more of Daniel Jim Carrey Jones, but not much.
So again, I ask the question. Who's got it worse? Who's got it worse right now? The Chargers. The fail clowns.
The colts, the bucks. The commanders. The Titans. As always. Yes.
And you better be ready to take care of your business tonight, LA Rams, or you know you're going on that same list as well. What about your Rams? What about your Rams too? What about my Rams? They're not my Rams.
But they better win tonight. And they may not. Things are not looking good for Puka. This evening. Think they need Puka very much?
They don't have Miles Garrett. We don't know what they'll get from Aaron Donald. The Giants have all sorts of juice, even though they bullied the Cowboys. I I don't know. And and it's a big line.
Last I checked it was six and a half. Rams don't really care what the line is. They don't care how it looks. They just need a win. They need to win badly, badly.
All right, so. Hit on any of these things, 1-800-636-8686. I want to hear from any of you on anything, but I really want to hear from Raider fan. I stand by this. I know it's cliché.
And by the way, Baron Davis, shout out my guy, Jungle Karma. Baron Davis came on late last week to talk up the Raiders because he grew up a Raider fan and he hosts a Raiders show. And what do you know? The Raiders handle their business. Jungle caramel sounds cliche.
But the NFL is better when the Raiders are good. It just is. You know why? Raider Nation, man. Raider Nation is the best.
They're loud. They're violent. They have energy. They engage a Love Raider fan. Hey Charger fan.
Get real. Owen too. Let's talk about it. How the hell are you 0-2? And again, not just 0-2.
0-2 after losses to Arizona and Vegas. That stat is incredible. The last time a team did what your team just did, they folded. Go look it up. The Racine Tornadoes.
That's who you are, Charger fan. You're the Racine Chargers. You're a week away from folding. Start 0-3. Never mind moving to LA.
Start 0-3, and they might fold your asses. The league may contract you. Can you imagine? Roger Goodell's like, uh, hello? Any of the Spanosons around?
Yeah, we need to have a discussion. Oh hey Commissioner, what's up? You're contracted. You've been Downgraded. Downgraded to.
Contraction.

Quote. That's not a good team. I don't like that team. Oh, you don't like that team? Not a very good team.
Yours, Ledanian Thompson.
Well done. No. Well played. You don't like that team. It's not a very good team.
Yours, Ledanian Tomlinson.
Well done. And totally fair and appropriate. At Doza15RNFL, quote, there were more racing tornado fans at SoFi yesterday than Charger fans. The silver and black is back. The nation is back.
Life is good. I think you're right. I think I did see more racing tornado fans there than I did Charger fans. David Horace 800 quote Chargers are like clippers. All right.
If you say so. I think they're more like the racine tornadoes. Jay in Tampa. All right, so let's talk about this. This guy brings it up, and actually, I brought it up, but he reacted.
Quote. Did Caleb Williams get a foot cramp? I remember screaming like that When I stepped on a Lego, some real visceral pain. Uh All right, so I get cramps all the time in the middle of the night and they're brutal. Brutal.
Just dehydration. And I don't scream out loud, but I did catch Jana with an elbow the other night trying to get out of bed. to walk it off. The theme about Caleb Williams, so what I mentioned was His first year and coming out of college, he's rocking the nail polish, and people are coming for the guy, and they're giving him all sorts of crap. He has a rookie year that's not that good.
Ben Johnson shows up, and all of a sudden, he's like the next big thing. All of a sudden, the guy's a star, and I think he is a star. I think the guy is a really, I think he's an outlier. I think he is a star.
So he's about to walk it in yesterday, and all of a sudden he goes down like he took a sniper fire. I'm like, oh no. But it didn't seem like it was an Achilles in the way he went down, but something happened. It was non-contact. And then he went down like he took sniper fire, and then the yelling, and then he stayed down, and it took multiple guys to walk him off, and then he ultimately went off.
And now everybody's coming for him again.
So the question is. What is it that You're attacking this guy for. Are you attacking this guy for being overly dramatic. Are you attacking this guy for like he really wasn't in pain, but pretended he was in pain? Or he was in pain, but not nearly as much pain as he played it up for?
Or was he in pain and not able to tolerate that pain? Like, whatever it was, it really bothered a lot of people on the internet. Like, here we go again. Like Again, as always, we all seem to have this amazing threshold for somebody else's pain. I understand there are some athletes.
That, like my guy Karon Butler, that famous story, when he dislocated his kneecap, and it was almost like. Like a puck on a shuttleboard. It slid down his leg, and he just. Had the doctors or the medical people push it back to where it was supposed to be, and he walked off. He's like the toughest guy ever.
You know, or Kobe. Shredding his Achilles and shooting a free throw and walking it off. And then there's Caleb who has a popped Hammy or whatever it is, but he's screaming and he needs a cart. And then the internet's attacking the guy. Right when right when he finally got him off he's back.
It's a little bit different. And difference fine. Different's good, especially when you're as good as this guy is. I think part of it also is. People just don't have anything better to do.
They just don't. Or you wouldn't spend so much time and so much energy killing so many people for so many things that it doesn't even matter. Who cares how loud he screamed? Who cares how long it took him to get up? Who cares that he went off on a cart?
I'm more concerned about the severity of the injury. How long is he going to be out? Who cares? Let me tell you something. For a lot of you, there's nothing you care more about than that.
You know why? Content. Clicks, look at me. I have a phone and I'm not afraid to use it. And it validated a take that you had back in the day that he's soft, man.
He's soft. He's soft. Look at his fingernails. He's soft. He's crying to mommy.
He's crying to mommy on the sideline. He has fingernail polish. He's soft. He's soft. And then he goes out, and he looks like an absolute stud.
See, see, I was right. Not me. I never said those things. But you So that became a real thing yesterday. A real thing.
I'm personally. I'm not saying I'm better than you, but I am better than you if that's all you care about. I'm more concerned about. Ben Johnson, and we are going to have the greatest offense in the history of mankind. after dropping fifty nine in Carolina, but only three on Minnesota.
All right, so if you're going to have the greatest offense ever, I guess that means Brian Flores is the greatest defensive coach ever. Because he shut you down. And that was before Caleb got hurt. Got a super chat. At Andrew Waldron, R4F.
Rome, drink a little pickle juice, and the cramps are gone. I can't believe I had to pay you for this advice. Broham. Bro, first of all, Bro, I'm you don't have to you don't have to do anything. All right, I didn't you didn't have to pay me.
I didn't make you pay me. I didn't say, hey, somebody give me some advice for what to do with these cramps that I get in the middle of the night and pay me for it. I didn't make you do anything, bro. I mean, thank you. I guess The thing about that is, Broham.
Number one, I don't really know where to get pickle juice other than out of a jar of pickles, and I'm not a big fan. Number two, I'm not keeping a glass of pickle juice on the nightstand on the off chance that I get another one of those cramps. Except there is no off chance. I will get another one of those cramps. I get them probably once or twice a week, and man, they hurt.
They're painful. They're painful. So much so that it's kind of hard to swing my leg over the sheets. In fact, I haven't had that much trouble getting out of bed. Since I had double hernia surgery when I couldn't get out of bed.
Actually, physically could not get out of bed. I can with the cramps, it just takes some work. And then you gotta walk it off. It kind of crams that like when you get them. That once you walk it off and they go away, it still hurts the rest of the day.
That kind of cramp. But thanks for the advice. I will not be taking it. It's one thing to have a bottle of water or a glass of water on the nightstand. I am not putting pickle juice on the nightstand.
Every night And how nasty must that stuff get when it's warm? I'm not doing that. Oh, you want me to drink it? You want me to drink it before so it's preventative medicine. Yeah, pickle juice is not my nightcap.
Not going there. Yeah, I try to hydrate. I try to hydrate, I try to go. Salt, I go. I do all the things you're supposed to do.
The problem is. A lot of cardio. And Frankly, a little bit of liquor on the weekends. And one more before we go to break. Doc Vader, twenty nine twenty six.
Thank you, Los Angeles Chargers, for showing us that not picking him as our first pick in twenty twenty was a wise choice. Signed the Miami Dolphins. Um Why the hell are the Miami Dolphins talking? Whoa whoa. Who are you standing over taunting?
And who is your quarterback? Thank you. Thank you for doing that so we didn't pick him. Oh, okay. Who's your quarterback?
Who did you pick and how did that go? But thank you very much for letting us know. Man, good thing you didn't pay for that because that's a bad take. Bad take. Miami.
Why are you talking? And who is your quarterback? And one more, one more. I lied. Joe, 56, 984.
I'm sure Fox is happy. They pay Bacon $30 million a year for this kind of cutting-edge commentary. First of all, they pay him $37.5 million a year. There's a big difference between $30 mill and $37.5 million. All right, so get that part right.
I'm willing to guess. that foxes more than happy To see him go viral for those two things than for him to just show up and do what he normally does, and nobody cares. I'm sure they're fine with it, honestly. All right, when we come back. Phone call us, hopefully, 1800-636-8686.
I've got a lot more NFL to talk about. Baker Mayfield and the Bucs, man, I cannot believe. I'm going to say point blank. That is the worst loss. In box history.
And that's coming. from a franchise that once went 0-14. That's how bad a loss that was to the creep. And the monkin, bro. Settle down.
The monkin. Dropping F-bombs, acting like he won the Bleeping Super Bowl. Spiking it in all of our faces. I cannot believe I have to do it again. I'm going to have to cancel our lunch again.
Every freaking day, the monkin. I have to cancel our lunch. We will not be having lunch. No lunch with a monkin. No lunch with a monkin.
Bad loss. Bad, bad loss for Baker and the Bucs. Oh, how about Lane? How about Lane not getting it done? Thanks for nothing, dude.
put up with all your nonsense, and then I ride with you and I lay the points. Good for old miss. All right, when we come back. Come to find out, Lane, the pressure was on you. You know how I know?
Do you see the way your team started? Oh, oh, all the pressure's on them. All the pressure's on them. It's not on us. Really?
Then why did your team come out and play like all the pressure was on them? I guess you didn't take the pressure off of them and put it onto you. I guess all the pressure wasn't on. All miss. Great win for them.
All right, stay tuned. We'll come right back. You're listening to The Jim Rome Show. My brother had his identity stolen. My neighbor did too.
Identity theft is the number one crime in America. My gosh, my manager? My cousin. LifeLock detects, alerts you to, and fixes identity theft, guaranteed, or your money back. Wow, that's a lot of people.

Break takes are what show up on the monitor or on the stream. during our commercial breaks. And what they are are your submissions. And since we started running chat, we've been using a lot of the chat submissions during the so-called break takes.
Now, I will tell you this. From day one, we've kind of tried to figure out a way. to program the break takes and sometimes you get video Video of me, video of a guest, and it's good, it's clean, it's good content. But not to you clones. You clones will always like to see your own name more than you want to see the name of a guest.
or more than you want to see the name of well me. I've never been an enormous fan of the break takes, if I'm being honest.
So All of a sudden, you can't see them. We have a static one-sheet, a static still. And the static still says, The Jim Rome Show. We'll be back in a minute. The Jerome Show.
We will be right back with the Rome graphic. And all of a sudden, now. You're in chat saying, What's going on? What's going on? Where are our submissions?
Where are our chats? Wh where why why are they doing that? What happened to us? It just says the Jim Rum Show. What's going on?
The Jim Rum Show. We will be right back.
So. What I would love to say to you in chat is that we are working through technical difficulties and that your chats will be back. Don't you worry. You will see yourselves in the break takes. I would love to tell you that.
But that's not what happened. There is nothing broken. We're not having any technical difficulties. We actually have been doing a little research on our own. We've been working with the algos.
We've been working with our own. Resources And you know what we did? we showed a focus group, in fact, many focus groups. We asked them to react to this, and then we asked them to react to this. And what we showed these focus groups were your submissions.
And said, if you had a radio show, there was a TV show, there was a stream, and during the breaks, you had the following roll-through. until the host came back on live. What do you like better? This? which is your submissions on chat.
Or just a still that said The Jim Rome Show. We'll be back in a minute. And we showed both those things to them, chat. And do you know what they told us? You know what the research told us?
You know what the focus group said? Overwhelmingly, they Prefer the Rome logo, the Jim Rome show, we will be right back. It wasn't even close.
So if it were close, say it were even. I don't know, sixty forty against you? I'd be fighting for you. I'd be fighting for you. But the research was so overwhelming that that the Rome show, the static Rome show that didn't have any of your submissions, that the focus groups prepare or preferred that by such an overwhelming margin.
I don't know that I'm gonna bring back your chats. Honestly, Sorry. Stay tuned. My dough never sees a freezer. Faye Hollis makes the biscuits at Hardee's.
I'm up at 5 a.m. every day making biscuits from scratch. Easy there, biscuit lady. Ought to create the Hardee'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.
