[21] God bless football, Mikey, eh?
[22] God bless football Charlie Kravitz?
[23] Wasah, Charlie Hume.
[24] God bless football, Lorenzo.
[25] You stole my wasah.
[26] So I can't keep that.
[27] I thought you were going to keep what's up.
[28] I'm so confused.
[29] Are we whatzapping?
[30] Yeah, keep zapping.
[31] Blessing.
[32] No, keep zapping.
[33] No, keep zapping.
[34] Was that.
[35] God bless football.
[36] Mike Fuentes.
[37] We talked right before this.
[38] God bless you, Mike Fuentes.
[39] All right.
[40] Welcome to God bless football this week.
[41] So Stugats is out in Lake Tahoe playing golf.
[42] And I thought it would be a fun little treat to have a little reunion with some of our friends.
[43] that we haven't done a podcast with together in a long time.
[44] And Charlie Cravitz.
[45] Charlie Cravitts, it's good to be together again.
[46] Puppets.
[47] And Charlie Kravitz is in town, so it seemed like as good a reason as ever to do one.
[48] And I don't regret it yet, but I do feel like I will soon enough.
[49] It's early in the proceedings, Billy, go.
[50] Not for nothing.
[51] Billy, you threw it to me beforehand to keep this on track.
[52] And I'm going to tell you right now, I already bow out on that.
[53] I'm already out on trying to keep this on track.
[54] Let's just have some thought.
[55] Yeah, so here's what happened is we sat down like 15 minutes ago.
[56] And we were supposed to get going and we've just been talking for 15 minutes.
[57] So I said, Mikey, I need you to do me a favor.
[58] I need you to keep us on track today because if not we're going to be derailed very quickly because as you all know, this is God bless football.
[59] So we can't just be talking about Muppets or whatever it is that Lorenzo wants to be talking about.
[60] Even though he wants to be talking about those things, we can't be talking about those things because it's, you know, God bless football.
[61] So we have to talk about football.
[62] What if there's a football tie -in to the Muppets?
[63] Lorenzo, if you have a football tie -in to the Muppets, feel free to take this over.
[64] All right, so go look for a Muppet football thing or whatever it is that you want to talk about.
[65] Guys, very exciting things.
[66] I have for the first time in what, probably nearly three years, and I can't believe that we can get to a banner segment on BB, BB, BB.
[67] Mikey, here's something that I don't know if you know, and it's a confession that I have to make to you.
[68] and I don't want to say it's a shameful confession, but it's a confession nonetheless.
[69] So, and I don't know if you guys know this, Charlie Kravitz, I don't know, if you know, Hume, I don't know if you know, Lorenzo, I don't know if you know.
[70] I this past season, we were doing Monday episodes of God Bless football, and I created a segment in our Monday episodes of God Bless football called Billy's Big Board Betts brought to you by.
[71] And I did that just because the acronym was B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B. And BB, BB, BB, Bibi was the name of a podcast that we did together years ago, Mikey.
[72] So it was a subtle shout out to this podcast that we used to do along with Ely's.
[73] And the theme of that podcast was very early on got off the rails was baseball, big brother, and basketball or something like that.
[74] Yeah, I think it was basketball.
[75] It was baseball basketball.
[76] Basketball was two of the bees.
[77] That's a cheat, man. It was baseball, basketball, and Big Brother because we had just finished wrapping of our ESPN's number one challenge podcast.
[78] And a Big Brother season was starting, so we're going to do a Big Brother podcast.
[79] And then one episode in, no one watched it.
[80] And we said, you know what?
[81] Let's not.
[82] Let's just punt on that.
[83] And then we didn't really talk about baseball or basketball either.
[84] And it just became kind of like a general podcast.
[85] So all that is to say, this is a little BB, BB, BB reunion today.
[86] And Mike Ye is going to be here along with us.
[87] And Mike Fuentes is here as well, but he can't talk because he doesn't have a microphone.
[88] He has to push buttons.
[89] Yeah, he's doing the working thing.
[90] So I can't.
[91] That won't stop Lorenzo from tossing to him.
[92] Multiple times.
[93] Quintez, for democracy.
[94] What?
[95] Hell divers, man. Come on, come on.
[96] What is hell divers?
[97] Only the best game of 2024.
[98] What is it?
[99] It's basically starship troopers.
[100] You're fighting big giant bugs and Terminator, automaton's with your boys, and you're doing it for Super Earth, for democracy.
[101] Fuentes knows what I'm talking about.
[102] Well, it's good.
[103] You keep going to him, so he can explain it.
[104] By the way, if you want more of Lerner, Renzo, you can check out his bibbidi -bop -ty -buzz podcast where he talks about all things Disney.
[105] Please, if you're a vigilante lawyer out there, if you could just file a lawsuit or look into that on the Renz's behalf.
[106] Yeah, file cease and desist.
[107] Even if it's fake paperwork, just track down Lorenzo's address, send them off something with official letterhead, give him a bit of a scare.
[108] We love that.
[109] Non -profit salary these days.
[110] I'm not like you big timers doing big things on your podcast.
[111] Mine is a passion project that I do with a friend off to the side.
[112] There's no income coming in, no revenue.
[113] We're not getting ad sales yet.
[114] I'm not partnering up with a famous golfer.
[115] I'm not with Stu Gotts.
[116] It's just don't mess this up for me, people.
[117] If you want to check out what Charlie Hume is doing, check out the Smiley Show with Smiley Kaufman.
[118] It's a great podcast.
[119] Yeah, sue him.
[120] He's got the one.
[121] Great podcast.
[122] Yeah.
[123] So anyways.
[124] That's actually fun, fun diversion.
[125] I was actually supposed to be in Tahoe this week with Smiley and would have loved to say hey to Stu Gott's out there, but, you know, as it happens, instead, I'm sitting here with you on God bless football.
[126] So even better.
[127] I was going to say, you say this is like a downgrade situation.
[128] No, no, no, no. My voice crescendoed up.
[129] Can I ask, I went to upgrade.
[130] Let me ask you a question.
[131] How is it because you, as I followed you on socials, and I'm not sure if, you know, the fans of the show have followed you on social, but you seem to be playing golf every weekend around the country.
[132] So how is it that this is the one golf tournament you weren't able to make it out to?
[133] It's because I played so much golf leading into this week that I couldn't possibly make it to yet another golf tournament.
[134] I don't know if that makes sense or not.
[135] I just got back from Scotland playing 13 rounds of golf over the span of eight days.
[136] Shot of 70.
[137] And I did shoot to 70.
[138] My best score ever to par.
[139] Congratulations.
[140] Two under at Kings Barnes.
[141] It's good work out there.
[142] Yeah, I actually, Smiley banned me from going to Tahoe.
[143] He's like, you were playing too much golf you need to spend some time with your family at home and you're and you know and so that's i'm doing this for my family i have a new mission it's to get some relatability to you and i'm failing miserably at doing that right now do you mean do you me swing thoughts for the audience we'll get to that later so look here's yeah i'm actually billy i'm trying to go another direction i'd like to sound as out of touch as possible uh despite the fact that uh charlie cravitz is now old money charlie yeah there's a double charlie situation that's happening there's some confusion because this was Old Money Charlie on The Levitarche years ago and people think that that's Charlie Kravitz now that he's in town.
[144] Anyways.
[145] He is.
[146] He is Kravitz.
[147] All white people look alike to me. Okay.
[148] So I have and I can't believe that we can go to later today.
[149] I also have a list of the USA Today's NFL offseason grays.
[150] I have S .I .'s ranking of the 12 teams that could actually win the Super Bowl.
[151] And I saw that Bill Barnwell put out, and Charlie, you're friends with Bill Barnwell.
[152] I saw that Bill Barnwell put out a list of, he's ranked the 32 teams based on running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends.
[153] So those are all things that we can get to.
[154] Also, Mikey A has a new game of more Mikely that you guys might enjoy.
[155] So I don't know if you guys want to play that.
[156] Maybe some college sprinkled in this time.
[157] And Lorenzo.
[158] I like the sound of that.
[159] Lorenzo has told me that he has his seventh and eighth bees of the episode.
[160] So we'll probably get to that at the end of this episode.
[161] We're doing it.
[162] Bid, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, this time around.
[163] Seven and eight Bs.
[164] Wow.
[165] Oh, we're b 'b -b -b -b -b -b -b -b -b -b -b -b -b -b -b -b -b -bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbddd comments Mike Gundy?
[166] He's a man, he's 40.
[167] Well, he's probably like 48 now.
[168] 56.
[169] 56?
[170] Yeah, Mike Gundy's 56 now.
[171] Oh, we're old, man. Billy, can you give us, can you give us the headline on Mike Gundy?
[172] Because what I took away from that was basically said that he drives drunk often.
[173] Was I off base?
[174] Was that off base there?
[175] Thousands of times.
[176] Okay.
[177] So what ended up happening, Mike Gundy's running back was pulled over and got a DUI because instead of a 0 .08, he was driving with a 0 .10.
[178] When asked about this, Mike Gundy said, and I'm paraphrasing, I looked it up.
[179] I put in a calculator to figure out his weight and how many beers it would take.
[180] I think he said it was three to five beers that he must have had.
[181] He's like, I've done that thousands of times and just gotten lucky.
[182] And then he went on to try to correct himself later on, and he said that he's done things a lot of time.
[183] He's done thousands.
[184] He's had thousands of mistakes that he's gotten away with.
[185] And he tried to kind of distance himself from that.
[186] Lorenzo, your thoughts.
[187] I was joking there for a minute, but no, no, Mike Gundy.
[188] You can't have road beers and can't be drinking and driving, period.
[189] I don't care if you can pass the sobriety test.
[190] Like, no. What are we doing here?
[191] you were the one talking about being a man, I'm 40, come talk to me. That's not very responsible for a man of 40 or 58 or 18 or 19.
[192] Like, no, no, sorry.
[193] That's a pretty vanilla take, Lorenzo.
[194] I think you can do better than that.
[195] I'm not going to advocate for drunk driving here on any podcast because it's not what I believe in.
[196] No, thank you.
[197] Thank you, Lorenzo for being responsible.
[198] Lorenzo also has his voice modulator.
[199] If at any point, Lorenzo wants to change his voice and we can go to that.
[200] This is a serious conversation, Bill.
[201] Well, no, not for this.
[202] I wouldn't say it for this.
[203] I'm just saying because, you know, for those people who are missing Zobot or ZJ or any of those, Lorenzo can make an appearance.
[204] You want to do my I can't believe for this episode?
[205] Can I still ask a follow -up question first?
[206] Sure.
[207] You're probably our most passionate fan of the group.
[208] Passionate.
[209] Yeah.
[210] No way.
[211] You get some hot takes about the teams you support.
[212] You get a little bit irrational.
[213] Gundy's not suspending, Ollie Gordon, who's his best player, who had 21 touchdowns on the ground last year.
[214] If you were an Oklahoma State fan, how happy would you be?
[215] about that.
[216] Can you put yourself in the fanatic mode of that of you got to you got to have some suspense some slap on the wrist.
[217] Set your morals aside and become an Oklahoma State fan.
[218] If he played for if he played for um, where did you go to college?
