Zack
The Emmys and the Tonys.
00:01:42
Mason
I would take that over the Oscars.
00:01:45
Mason
Well, so my thing is, is I think it started at six o'clock and goes till nine central time. So you're talking about like a three hour or you could just kind of get the list of the winners and some people may think this for the draft like nfl draft i know a lot of people it's like why would you sit and watch it for three hours when you can just get the list later listen you gotta hear the breakdowns it's also not the same whatsoever
00:01:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network

00:02:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Lady Gaga is dressed like a meatball. Like, who cares? I don't care.
00:02:52
Zack
It would be electric.
00:02:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
She did that. Remember she wore the suit that one year that she was meat?
00:02:57
Zack
It wasn't a meatball.
00:02:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
She was meat.
00:03:01
Zack
It was meat. That's true. A meatball, that would be awesome.
00:03:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
This is why you gotta get me warmed up, because now I'm ready to fire away about meatballs.
00:03:16
Mason
i feel like that um feel like that would be the thing, though. For all of us, if we had to do some type award show, we would just be dressed as food. Like, just give me Taco Bell just on me and I can just like, get oh, there's a taco in my pocket.
00:03:30
Zack
We need fast food awards.
00:03:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Now we're talking.
00:03:35
Mason
Well, we kind of are doing that in a way just to tease it to the to the audience here.
00:03:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Could be.
Parody Awards: The 'Moskers'
00:03:41
Mason
We came up with a name, Tinsley.

Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah The Moskers. I don't know how to how would you pronounce it.
00:03:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The Moskers.
00:03:52

We're mocking the Oscars.
00:03:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network

Mason
So this is the Oscars award awards, several of them.
00:03:59

00:04:05
Mason
We got eight awards. OK, do we want do we want to banter for a little bit longer? Do we want to kick this off or.
00:04:12
Zack
I feel there's going a lot of bantering in the middle of our awards.
00:04:13
Mason
and I feel like you're also right with that, what they also do during award shows. so
00:04:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, they go on and on thanking 10,000 people.
00:04:22
Zack
That's what we're going to do.
00:04:26
Zack
We've, we've, yeah, we've, we've invited people from each of our awards and they're going to be here to give speeches.
00:04:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, what a twist.
00:04:38
Mason
We need like the Oscar music, like some cheesy Zach, if you are not busy tonight, cause I know you don't have five billion things going on. Just like plug in some like Oscars background music.
00:04:45
Zack
Let me get some edits then.
00:04:49

00:04:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
royalty free.
00:04:53
Mason
Yeah, that's right.
00:04:55

00:05:01
Zack
Okay, we're ready for the
00:05:02
Mason
He's also an hour ahead and I'm over here requesting music. So, okay.
00:05:05
Zack
I got you. This is just my most importance to me. Okay. So we have a couple of awards. We're just going to each going to give what we feel like for our own selves hit this award.
00:05:19
Zack
um The timeline is a little bit fuzzy. i kind I kind of tried to keep because some of our categories of like of the year when it's like we're in March. So I don't know how that works.
00:05:32
Zack
um We're kind of we're kind of treating the year as the football season.
00:05:36
Zack
So, you know, now it's like the post-football season wrap-up. So since about this time last year, this stuff has happened.
00:05:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:05:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
See, but now football season's
00:05:44
Zack

00:05:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
starting right now because the combine, which we'll get to, but then NFL free agencies in eight days, which is in itself a very important day.
00:05:56
Zack
For every ending, there is a new beginning. It's deep.
00:05:59
Mason
For Titans fans this year, this is probably the most exciting part of the whole season, if you call it.
00:06:03
Zack
Why are we bringing Titans?
00:06:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:06:04
Zack
while Why are we... We don't have to talk about the Titans.
00:06:09
Mason
No, we don't. Okay, go ahead.
00:06:11
Zack
Because then we're to get into the tank conversation and then we're going to go into the double tank and Tins is going to be making fun of those for it.
00:06:11
Mason
So let's start. Okay.
00:06:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
we do have to โ I'm
Food Favorites of the Season
00:06:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
not making โ no one's making fun anybody.
00:06:18
Zack
there. We'll talk about it later. Yeah, whatever.
00:06:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
it is It is a really exciting time. You got all that cap room. got the first overall pick. Like the Titans are in control of the offseason.
00:06:29
Zack
They are. That is true.
00:06:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They are the bell of the ball.
00:06:31
Zack
Until they jack it up.
00:06:32
Mason
We could also completely mess this up, but that's beside the point.
00:06:35
Zack
Alright, here we go. We're doing that later. We're not doing it now.
00:06:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Who's to say?
00:06:37
Zack
We're not doing Titan's Talk. We're done. um Okay. We want people to listen to the episode, not to turn it off soon as we start doing this whole thing.
00:06:48
Mason
Don't go anywhere. We stopped it.
00:06:48
Zack
Our first ah first award is for um the best thing I ate. The best thing I ate this season.
00:07:01
Zack
Tens, what got there?
00:07:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
right. So it wouldn't be an award show if I didn't just break a rule to start. um I got two. I got two that are tied. i couldn't help myself.
00:07:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um
00:07:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We're going to start out with the Post Malone collab with Oreos.
00:07:18
Mason
Hmm, I've not tried these yet.
00:07:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
one of the best One of the best new things I've eaten.
00:07:22
Zack
I saw them at Costco. They were selling a large box of them.
00:07:25
Mason
Okay, I think we kind of talked about this already.
00:07:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You should bought them.
00:07:27
Mason
Explain it exactly what they are for anybody that doesn't.
00:07:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So it's a snickerdoodle cookie or a shortbread cookie on one.
00:07:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And then it's the traditional chocolate Oreo cookie on the other.
00:07:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And then in the middle is salted caramel cream.
00:07:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's ah like i'll eat the whole sleep like I'll eat the whole thing if I'm not conscious about it.
00:07:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They're they are a danger to society.
00:07:53
Mason
i have to try them.
00:07:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You got to get them. You got to find them.
00:07:57
Mason
I feel like anything Post Malone touches turns to gold. He's very successful, now in the country game, and now Oreos.
00:08:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's a fire country.
00:08:04
Mason
Who would have known?
00:08:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's a fire country artist. He's a great rapper. He's a great Oreo collaborator.
00:08:12
Mason
You think it was his idea?
00:08:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Don't The only thing he doesn't have going, like he's ah he's a Cowboys fan. It's the worst thing he's got going for him.
00:08:18
Mason
Oh, I did not know that. Tough break.
00:08:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You haven't seen all his Cowboys commercials? He's like their guy.
00:08:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um But tied with that is the orange creamsicle Frosty from Wendy's, which had to get one more in there for the orange creamsicle Frosty.
00:08:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Felt like we talked about it all last summer.
00:08:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So many of them.
00:08:44
Mason
I will say, yeah, go ahead. i don't want to tip any picks, so we'll we'll stick with the but orange.
00:08:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Tipping picks. We're not drafting.
00:08:51
Mason
I know, but I didn't wantt want to steal someone's thunder on the... I'll just say I had the Thin Mint Frosty. i don't know if you've all had it yet. The Girl Scout.
00:09:04
Mason
It. You didn't like it.
00:09:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm a big Thin Mint fan.
00:09:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I ah didn't like it.
00:09:11
Mason
and didn't hate it.
00:09:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it.
00:09:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I didn't love it like i've I wanted to.
00:09:18
Mason
I think though I think you're just been so like spoiled with the orange push up or dreamsicle, whatever.
00:09:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Well, so they're out of vanilla. And I like chocolate. I like chocolate Frosties over vanilla. But I think for this, I wanted the vanilla ice cream with the chocolate thin mint.
00:09:34
Mason
Hmm, yeah. No, I've only done the chocolate. Surprisingly, not too much.
00:09:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But I mean, it was good. I just didn't love it.
00:09:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That was the best thing you ate all year?
00:09:48
Mason
No, no, no, no, no.
00:09:49
Mason
I was just wanting to bring that one up.
00:09:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, okay. Okay.
00:09:52
Mason
Mine's going to be definitely out of left field, so I can't wait for y'all's faces, but go ahead, Zach.
00:10:01
Zack
had a hard time with this one. I couldn't pinpoint one thing. The thing that I've eaten the most, though, I was trying to think of what quantity of thing I've eaten the most of. So I'm going a little bit more generic.
00:10:13
Zack
I'm going with... The Wendy's biggie bag. The whole biggie bag. ah What a deal. What a combo. um
00:10:22
Mason
That's the best thing.
00:10:25
Zack
That's the best thing I all year. No.
00:10:28
Mason
So the most, the most
00:10:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's the most. So it's the best.
00:10:32
Zack
It's the thing I kept going back to.
00:10:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Because he kept coming back for more. Yeah.
00:10:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:10:37
Zack
Best deal in fast food right now. um I don't know. i don't I don't get too creative with like what I'm eating. I don't get fancy typically. just kind of stick to my roots.
00:10:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:10:49
Zack
So that's where I'm at. I want to let the food experts cook on this one.
00:10:53
Mason
It must be like, there you go. It must be a different biggie bag. and Definitely upcharge, but you can get like the sauced wings now as like your, so it was like the sauced wings with the fries and then like you got like a sandwich.
00:11:08
Zack
Yeah, it's like an upcharge kind of situation.
00:11:09
Mason
Yeah, I think it was only like a dollar extra or something. Okay. All right. Best thing I have eaten award So i don't know if you all remember, last October I went to an Indian wedding and they had...
00:11:28
Mason
a smorgasbord of all you can eat just like authentic the caterers came out of new jersey i believe and this food was incredible well there was a part where so i thought that i was like we need to go ahead and get plates now before we get inside this is like our meal and they had like these um just like long tables of all this food. And they even had like this open flame thing where they had this, uh, where are the tomahawk steaks and stuff. And I was like, Oh my gosh, we gotta go ahead and get our food.
00:12:01
Mason
So we hadn't got our food. I thought that was the meal. That was just the appetizer. And then they cleaned off all those tables and got out the real meal. But there was this, uh, specifically like this Indian, like taco that I can't, I would love to just like try to recreate. I need to find it, but it was like fantastic. So,
00:12:19
Mason
I felt so like everything was just light and clean.
00:12:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:12:22
Mason
So I'm going to go with that.
00:12:24
Mason
Yeah, Indian taco. Who would have known?
00:12:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:12:27
Zack
Who would've thought?
00:12:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Who would have thought?
00:12:30
Mason
There was there was there was like this green drink that was like insane. All their stuff is like spicy. And I know now why they're also like skinny is because basically the whole time we were there, they were dancing, dancing nonstop, literally like three or four hours of dancing.
00:12:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So the whole country is skinny because they're just, they're dancing.
00:12:51
Mason
Listen, no and it's not bad. it's just I was just saying they all dance like that's what they do for entertainment. And then this like spicy drink, I was like, I'm on fire right now. It's peppery, spicy drink.
00:13:06
Mason
That's all I'm going to say.
00:13:11
Zack
There are some takes in that.
00:13:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. if You can find them if you look hard enough.
00:13:17
Zack
Can't wait for the TikTok clip there. ah That's going to be good one.
00:13:19
Mason
We don't need that.
00:13:20
Zack
We're going to some good engagement.
00:13:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hashtag India.
00:13:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The one where I made fun of British people, ah it went well. People like people enjoyed that.
00:13:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:13:34
Zack
People don't like British people, apparently.
00:13:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Americans.
00:13:36
Zack
Yeah. British people get mad about it?
00:13:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network

Next Guy Up Podcast Network
All right.
00:13:47
Zack

00:14:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, some, not a ton.
00:14:06
Mason
We don't need talk about it.
00:14:07
Zack
It's in bad moments, for sure. Okay.
00:14:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
hmm.
00:14:11
Zack
Tins, you want to go first?
00:14:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
All right, so mine is is Zach, actually. Zach, congratulations.
00:14:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Your dynasty lineup of the Chiefs, Celtics, Florida Panthers, Dodgers.
00:14:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
If Zach were to have taken this his dynasty lineup in a future parlay, it would have been 67,888. plus sixty seven thousand eight hundred and eighty eight
00:14:41
Zack
The Chiefs lost, though.
00:14:41
Mason
The Chiefs didn't win the Super Bowl.
00:14:43
Zack
would have had to cash out.
00:14:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But had, but yeah, had you had it, your cash out would have been insane.
00:14:48
Zack
Probably would cashed out. Yeah, I definitely would have cashed
00:14:50
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Exactly.
00:14:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But Zach did not bet that.
00:14:55
Zack
Which is a tough moment for me.
00:14:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So it's a tough moment.
00:14:57
Zack
Tough break. Okay, I thought this was the best sports moment.
00:15:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That was my best sports moment.
00:15:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
when because when Well, no, because my best sports moment was when I brought this up to Zach and he didn't realize it.
00:15:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Last summer I was like, you do realize you could have parlayed the Florida Panthers and Celtics right before baseball season started.
00:15:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And then the Dodgers won. was like, you know, and then and then he realized, oh, crap, I could have done that.
00:15:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
and then And the Chiefs were in the Super Bowl.
00:15:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And it's like, oh, I could have ah been rich.
00:15:27
Mason
Without knowing... yeah Try to backtrack. Would you truly cash that I don't know if they would allow to cash out. Any of my future stuff, they don't do cash outs.
00:15:36
Zack
what They would have allowed. I feel like they would have had to.
00:15:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
if you bet If you bet actual cash, they don't do cash outs if you do like a bonus bet on stuff like that.
00:15:43
Mason
and Maybe that's what it is because most of my bonus bets I'll usually do. fee Okay, would you have cashed that out or would you have let it ride?
00:15:50
Zack
I would have cashed it out. Once it got to that far into it, I'm definitely cashing it out.
00:15:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So yeah, that's my best sports moment.
00:15:58
Zack
Are you joking? ah There's no way I'm running that one
00:16:00
Mason
That's hilarious that his best sports moment is drinking the tears of Zach.
00:16:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network

00:17:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network

00:17:21
Zack
I have a legacy. This is it's about dynasties. I have a dynasty going. and
00:17:26

good Good thing you made a lot of money off of it.
00:17:28
Mason

Memorable Sports Moments of the Year
00:17:31
Mason
That'd be a fun one to add in.
00:17:31
Zack
um We could have, yeah.
00:17:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Could have. have had you calling last year, last two years. They were my boys.
00:17:40
Mason
Alright, Zach, your number one rule if we do a game like this again, you have to bet...
00:17:45
Zack
Yep, that would be a good idea.
00:17:46
Mason
have to bet it. Okay.
00:17:49
Zack
Okay. My moment of the year. I actually had two. i want to pick this one, though, as my favorite moment. There's a lot of stuff I could have picked from. The Olympics happened, obviously.
00:18:01
Zack
I'm throwing back to March of last year when a legend was born. In the great state of North Carolina, DJ Burns emerged as a star.
00:18:13
Zack
Last year's March Madness took NC State on an improbable run. Overweight.
00:18:18
Zack
Overweight. Apparently lost 45 pounds for the NBA draft. Went undrafted.
00:18:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
still
00:18:24
Zack
He's playing in Korea.
00:18:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Still went undrafted. Yeah.
00:18:27
Zack
I checked in on him. But what a run he had.
00:18:29
Mason
Checked in on them.
00:18:29
Zack
He made a lot of money, I'm sure, doing something. um Hopefully he made some money out of that run. It was fun. was fun to watch. Fun story.
00:18:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
March Madness Legend.
00:18:40
Zack
um Truly, yeah yeah. That was March Madness personified right there. My guy, DJ Burns. Okay. Mason?
00:18:48
Mason
I would have took a flyer on him. If Bronny could have been drafted, so could have him. So could he.
00:18:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Well said.
00:18:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
LeBron got Luka in shape.
00:19:01
Mason
Did you see? He looked like a totally different person when he was in L.A.
00:19:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Looks like he's lost like 15 pounds.
00:19:05
Mason
It's like when James Harden goes to a different team. When James Harden leaves somewhere, he's like he like shed three jackets.
00:19:12
Zack
Time to get a shape.
00:19:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Bye.
00:19:16
Mason
Okay, i had two. ah so I did this with no, I bet you I can look up and be like, oh my gosh, that was even better game. I did games. I think it's just because I was looking back and trying to think, what did I remember the most of this football season that enjoyed? So i have two.
00:19:32
Mason
One's NFL and one is college football. and NFL is like so insignificant. It's literally a week five overtime win when when And it may be like the last memory we have of Kirk Cousins.
00:19:47
Mason
Who knows? But the Falcons win over the Buccaneers when he was shouting at the end and had that great game.
00:19:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah he he broke yeah He broke the Falcons' single season or single game passing record with Matt Ryan.
00:19:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It was a tribute night, retiring Matt Ryan's number, and then Kirk Cousins went and broke his record.
00:20:01
Mason
yeah Exactly. He had a 40-yard pass to win the game at the end of that.
00:20:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:20:07
Mason
it was ah ah i remember I was watching, I was like, holy cow, this is all of a sudden a shootout ah because also the Bucs were keeping it in that game. My second game is going to be Texas and Arizona State.
00:20:20
Mason
I was also overtime winner just because I was like, what the heck is going on?
00:20:21
Zack
Mmm. That was a fun one.
00:20:24
Mason
This was a back and forth crazy. I was rooting for ah little bit of upset. You know, Scadabo was fun to root for and Arizona State there. and They ended up losing in the end.
00:20:35
Mason
But those were, if I had to look at the playoffs, that was like the most fun for me just because they both of those games, they both seem just like a a back and forth, just shootout type of game.
00:20:47
Mason
So I'm going with those two games.
00:20:50
Zack
I had a couple honorable mentions as well.
00:20:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um
00:20:53
Zack
I had Jameis in the snow.
00:20:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
a
00:21:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He played really well.
00:21:00
Zack
I had... he did play well. His team won.
00:21:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He did.
00:21:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He put up a lot of...
00:21:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He threw for a lot of yards.
00:21:11
Mason
I wish i had somebody to defend me like Zach defends Jameis Winston. Like, and Tinsley just said he played well.
00:21:18
Mason
He's like, he did play well. His face just, he he he looks like he was going to attack Tinsley through.
00:21:24
Mason
He's like, he did play well.
00:21:26
Zack
Jane Daniels, Hail Mary.
00:21:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, against the Bears.
00:21:30
Zack
That was fun. And I think someone may, I doubt someone's going mention this, but the Saquon Barkley backwards hurdle, one of the more and impressive athletic performances I've ever seen in my life.
00:21:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I guess the Jags, that was an amazing play. Yeah, that was insane.
00:21:46
Zack
One of those, like, I have no idea how that happened.
00:21:47
Mason
Oh, that's me. And that's good.
00:21:50
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
it's ah It's going to be part of like his Nike commercial now forever and ever and ever.
00:21:53
Zack
Definitely. Saquon's whole season, going from the Giants to winning to Super Bowl and doing how he did it. ah that's That was honestly what I almost picked for this sports moment situation.
00:22:08
Zack
Saquon had an awesome season.
00:22:12
Mason
ah some Some of these categories, we could go five billion different ways. I'm so excited. Okay, next one's back.
00:22:16
Zack
Yep. Okay. Next is Miss of the Year. Miss of the Year.
00:22:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Miss of the year is going to go to McDonald's and the chicken Big Mac. I thought this sucked. I think this is one of the worst LTOs that have come out in recent recent memory.
00:22:35
Zack
like that. like that.
00:22:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:22:39
Zack
Wow, LTO is the lingo. This guy.
00:22:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
yeah So, yeah, ah it was terrible.
00:22:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It was the it's the chicken was, it would have been better if they would have done the McChicken patties, but instead they did this weird chicken, the the McNugget. one and I don't like that breading at all.
00:22:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I also don't really like Big Macs because the third bun there in the middle is super unnecessary. um it It just didn't work for me. The chicken Big Mac, two thumbs down. It was a miss.
00:23:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Swing and a miss, baby.
00:23:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Strike three.
00:23:17
Zack
Can't fault them for trying.
00:23:18
Mason
Wasn't planning on it.
00:23:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, they had to try something.
00:23:19
Zack
We can't all be Wendy's. Shout Wendy's.
00:23:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's true.
00:23:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Shout out, Wendy's. We love you.
00:23:28

00:23:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
yeah
00:23:37
Mason
Man, that's a good one.
00:23:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, that's that's a bad miss.
00:23:39
Zack
One of the worst trades in a very long time. um Trading your franchise player and a generational talent to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis, who immediately gets hurt.
00:23:53
Zack
That is certainly a huge miss. So shout to the Mavs. You've tanked your career. You tanked your whole franchise.
00:24:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm-hmm.
00:24:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
On top of that, ah and Anthony Davis getting hurt like in his second game with the Mavs.
00:24:06
Mason
Both of those. I didn't think of those.
00:24:10
Zack
That's very bad. Bad look.
00:24:12
Mason
Yep. All bad all around. Okay.
00:24:18
Mason
My miss of the year, I have two. There are no rules. And this is a spoiler podcast, so I'm spoiling what I'm about to talk about. So just get ready, everybody.
00:24:29
Mason
ah that That's going to be Banks Season 4.
00:24:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, boy.
00:24:35

00:24:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:24:44
Mason
there's a Look into all the rumor mills if you want.
00:24:47
Mason
I'm not going to explain all that. That was just a rough...
00:24:48
Zack
Mason's in, wasn't it?
00:24:49
Mason
I kept pushing through because it was promising to start... Yes, it was unrealistic, and the all of a sudden, like, these kids are just on the run from 50 billion... Now it just got out hand.
00:25:00
Mason
It was just... It was almost hard to watch. Tinsley feels like he agrees with me, I feel like.
00:25:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, at at a certain point, the police are shooting these people for running away so much. like You can't just keep breaking the law and evading the police. They will shoot you.
00:25:15
Mason
And they're just setting things on fire. It was just too much. I was like, what in the world is happening?
00:25:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And that whole scuba scene when they're down there, you can't scuba down there that long.
00:25:19
Mason
This got out of hand.
00:25:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You're not trained professional scuba divers down in the boat.
00:25:26
Zack
If I can't scuba, then what's all this been about?
00:25:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's true.
00:25:29
Mason
And then people got attacked.
00:25:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
What's the point?
00:25:30
Mason
Yeah, they like attacked him and they had to get in a chamber. It was like, oh, it was just a weird. All of it was just so much.
00:25:36
Mason
ah And then he's like on top of this like pyramid thing trying to get out the treasure.
00:25:41
Mason
It was just what is happening. She's pregnant out here in the desert. Like, what what are we doing? Anyways. Miss of the Year, Banks season four, and then also Yellowstone season five.
00:25:50
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's a good one.
00:25:53
Mason
Kevin Cosner just blew up the whole thing.
00:25:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
oh
00:25:56
Mason
He was like, I'm done to focus on this trash film that didn't even do well. I think it lost money.
00:26:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It like went straight to Netflix. and this was like He said this was his life's work.
00:26:02
Zack
This guy's shooting shot.
00:26:04

00:26:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
like
00:26:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network

00:26:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And guess what, buddy? It's on Netflix right now.
00:26:19
Mason
Went straight to see, listen, um maybe I'll give it like a little bit of a chance, but when something went, no, no Oscars tonight, you're correct.
00:26:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No Oscars tonight for
00:26:27
Mason
But when something gets bad reviews like that and go straight to Netflix, I do not, I go in with not high expectations, but anyways, uh, spoiler podcast. So, uh, he, they kill them off cause they don't know what to do right off the rip.
00:26:39
Mason
And that's just not, it's just not the vibe any anymore.
00:26:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Wait, rip rips a character. what are you talking about?
00:26:45
Mason
Oh, yeah, you're right.
00:26:46
Mason
well he He's there as well. It's just not the vibe. It was just not good. i did not enjoy it. They just had to come up with something and then Jamie dies at the end. Spoiler alert. All spoilers.
00:26:58
Zack
I think Mason just want the opportunity to just completely summarize seasons of two different shows.
00:27:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Spoiler.
00:27:03
Mason
the But those were misses.
00:27:05
Mason
do You all agree with me. They were misses. They missed. I waited like forever for Yellowstone. They put us on like a two year wait for that for half a season two.
00:27:16
Mason
So anyways, those are my misses.
00:27:18
Zack
You guys watch Reacher?
00:27:20
Mason
I have not. I've heard it's really good.
00:27:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I watched that first season.
00:27:22
Mason
Everybody keeps going on about it.
00:27:24
Zack
There was a new season, that's good. He's very big.
00:27:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's a huge man.
00:27:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's trying to be Batman. He wants to be Batman.
00:27:32
Zack
He'd be pretty good, probably.
00:27:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
he's He's openly said he wants to be Batman.
00:27:35
Zack
He's humongous. Yeah.
00:27:38
Zack
Okay, moving on. Best news story of the year.
00:27:45
Zack
Best news story of the year. Tenth?
00:27:50
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
right, so this was ah really big news story for me personally. And the person who broke it, this was the best version of it for me because this person had to eat about three crows when he had to do it.
00:28:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
When the Jacksonville Jaguars got the stadium approved to be in Jacksonville for the next 30 years, Mike Florio, who about once a month will write about how the Jaguars are moving to London for the last 10 years I've been dealing with,
00:28:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
finally had the report that the Jaguars are not moving to London and that they will be staying in Jacksonville until I am 61 years old. That was the best news story of the summer for me.
00:28:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
it was great having to watch Mike Florio eat his words and cry about it because he's been calling the Jaguars the London Jaguars for the last 10 years.
00:28:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So Mike Florio, you suck at your job. You've never once had a source inside of Jacksonville because you claim that you did.
00:28:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You claim that you knew that we were going to move there eventually. You're a moron and an idiot and a joke.
00:28:52
Mason
Now there's news about the Texans, right? Didn't you send us something about their study?
00:28:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The Texans are having a little bit of a tiff with their with the the city there, saying the city's not going to help pay for the stadium. And the owner said, well, I guess we just might move to San Antonio, I hear.
00:29:10
Mason
Which might make you happy.
00:29:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Be a real shame, Houston, if you lost two football teams.
00:29:15
Zack
tough break it's tough
00:29:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Real tough. Real tough. Real tough stuff.
00:29:22

00:29:32

00:30:17
Mason

00:30:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
it was a It was awesome. That's what Twitter was made for, was days like that.
00:30:35
Zack
You start getting all the reports in that he was arrested and everyone's trying to figure out why and people are just making conjecture about what they think happened. and That was a fun day.
00:30:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And then the video came out.
00:30:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
All the cops, the the cop is getting memed to death online. oh It was it fun times. And then he didn't win that tournament, did he? Remember?
00:30:56

00:30:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network

00:31:14
Zack
Okay, sorry to Bryson DeChambeau.
00:31:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
getting a defamation lawsuit on our doorstep anytime.
00:31:21
Zack
Yeah, that was i was not trying to just fame you. ah but Skyda Sheffler was arrested.
00:31:29
Mason
Okay, my new story.
00:31:32
Mason
This also had been going on for a while. And then it happened for less than a day. That would be the TikTok ban. It was this huge talk, everybody freaking out.
00:31:44
Mason
And then it happened and everybody continues to And I think Instagram probably got its largest like of the reels that day, probably in ever, just because someone had to find something to replace TikTok with. And so everybody's just scrolling on reels. Obviously not the same, but they had to find something to fill the void.
00:32:02
Mason
And then TikTok's back. It was, what, less than 12, 15 hours, something like that.
00:32:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, it was...
00:32:09
Mason
And then I think it's still...
00:32:11
Mason
Yeah, and I think they're still trying to, like, continue figuring out, like, some of the...
00:32:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Red note.
00:32:15
Mason
They said, hey, you need to reconstruct... Like, you need a reconstruct some of this stuff and order us for it to continue. So it's still not, like, over yet. I don't think they're threatening to ban again permanently.
00:32:27
Mason
But we'll see what happens.
00:32:29
Zack
And then everyone started downloading the Chinese version of TikTok.
00:32:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
red note
00:32:34
Zack
Yeah, that was like much worse than TikTok was.
00:32:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:32:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network

someone Someone caught it or maybe they caught my pleas on TikTok where I was like, TikTok, please help me.
00:34:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I need Taco Bell to fix this. Um, so that was my first person of the year, my second person of the year.
00:34:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And this is someone who has gotten Mason and Josh and Kyle to start spending an absurd amount of money on Pokemon cards, um, by simply sending them a whatnot stream.
00:34:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I am the person of the year to these guys. Cause I got them to start a new hobby, something to do when football is not around.
00:34:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They have, they, They have all jumped in feet first, especially Kyle. So Kyle, you're welcome. I'm your person of the year. I got you a new hobby to do and spend thousands of dollars on. So you're welcome.
00:34:52
Mason
Yeah, the amount of money just it's yeah. Thanks a lot. Tens just thanks a lot.
00:34:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You're welcome.
00:34:58
Mason
It has been a fun hobby to get back into, I will say. And it's been booming right now. So if you want to sell your Pokemon cards, sell them to me. I'll buy them at half price. Just kidding.
00:35:08
Zack
Wow. Paying's on the dollar.
00:35:12
Zack
Okay. My person of the year.
00:35:15
Zack
This one's actually kind of real. um The person who probably has impacted sports the most in this past calendar year, I'm going with Caitlin Clark.
00:35:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:35:27
Zack
She made herself a ton of money, changed the game of basketball for women's basketball for sure. I'm not going into the whole debate, but um I mean, was has been at the center of conversations, literally selling out arenas by herself in the WNBA.
00:35:45
Zack
Shout out. Great. What a year, truly. ah Went from playing college ball to like having and WNBA games move to larger arenas so they could sell those out instead of the smaller arenas they typically played at.
00:35:59
Zack
I mean, once you're at that level, it's it's pretty cool. so shout out to her.
00:36:07
Mason
It's a good pick person of the year.
00:36:12
Mason
All right. My person of the year, i went with Jaden Daniels. Uh, ended up winning rookie the year just because we got, we got to this point where I was like, okay, I want like, he's made like, and other players have done this.
00:36:28
Mason
Don't get me wrong. Like fun to watch, but he has like been so fun to watch this season. Um,
00:36:36
Mason
in my opinion. So we talked about already had the Hail Mary, had the upset in the first round, which might get to here in a little bit, who knows? ah But he's just had incredible. He was literally one game away from getting to the Super Bowl. So Jaden Daniels, fundamental fun to watch my person of the year.
00:36:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's electric.
00:37:01
Mason
Oh gosh, I'm ready for this.
00:37:02
Mason
This one's going fun.
00:37:04
Zack
Next up. Fraud of the year. Fraud of the year.
00:37:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Fraud of the year.
00:37:10
Zack
We love to use the word fraud around here. So we we've called a lot of people frauds over the course of this past year. um Who do we got? Tens.
00:37:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Your fraud of the year is Nick Sirianni. He is a coordinator merchant.
00:37:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
This guy has one of the best rosters in football for the last couple of years.
00:37:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
he His team was absolutely awful last year when he got to pick his offensive coordinat offensive coordinator, Ben Johnson. Not the Bears' Ben Johnson. There was two. um That was his offensive coordinator last year and his own defensive coordinator.
00:37:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The GM made him fire both those guys and hire Kellen Moore and Vic Fangio, and look what happened. Bang, bong, boom, Super Bowl. Nick Sirianni, coordinator merchant.
00:37:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He is a fraud.
00:37:57
Zack
What do you think is the what's the role of a head coach in a football team, Tins?
00:38:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
don't know. I'm just saying he got carried there by by his two coordinators.
00:38:03
Zack
no and think I think someone could say that good head coaches surround themselves with good people that can...
00:38:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
One of his coordinators could have done his job.
00:38:14
Mason
He doubles down on the Knicks here on a hot seat literally like four months ago.
00:38:19
Mason
So he should be fired and but wins the Super Bowl. And now he's like fraud of the year.
00:38:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm-hmm.
00:38:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Fraud of the year. If they start out bad next year, Eagles fans will agree with me.
00:38:30
Mason
I'm sorry, but if if I had this take, y'all would be roasting me.
00:38:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They'll let them go.
00:38:31
Zack
That is true. Those guys are crazy.
00:38:34
Mason
They are crazy. It's a different, different type of fan.
00:38:36
Zack
um Okay. Fraud of the year. Actual fraud. Actual fraudulent behavior.
00:38:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, I just have to stand on a hill.
Controversies in Sports and Finance
00:38:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
She is a fraud.
00:38:47
Zack
Is there a bigger fall from Grace than Haktua?
00:38:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Rug pull.
00:38:50
Zack
She made stupid little 10 second video, became famous overnight. wrote it and she was doing great. Then she decided she wanted to get into the meme coin kind of realm and all of a sudden tanked.
00:39:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Got greedy.
00:39:07
Zack
ah Some people thought she was dead. Could still be. but ai technology is very good. She could be dead.
00:39:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
She could have had a happy little life doing her podcast about nothing, making a lot of money.
00:39:18
Zack
Yeah, people would listen. Yeah,
00:39:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
She's making a lot of money. But instead, tried to get greedy.
00:39:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Had to get greedy with the meme coin.
00:39:29
Zack
Actual fraudulent behavior.
00:39:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Now probably going to jail.
00:39:30
Zack
Yeah, so shout out to Hawk Tua.
00:39:35
Mason
I have no idea how the meme coin world works.
00:39:38
Zack
I don't think anyone does really.
00:39:38
Mason
I saw something with like Dave Portnoy. i think he had something going on with that.
00:39:43
Mason
and i was like, I have no idea what this is.
00:39:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Seems like a good way to lose a lot of money pretty quick.
00:39:50
Zack
It's a good way for one guy to make a bunch of money and then everyone else to lose money. That's pretty much what happens, I think. So, I don't know.
00:40:01
Mason
Okay, my fraud of the year, I kind of already talked about it already, but you are the best team in the NFC.
00:40:08
Mason
You have the best record. You get the first round bye, and then you lose to the Washington Commanders.
00:40:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
o
00:40:12
Mason
Fraud of the year is going to be the Detroit Lions.
00:40:16
Mason
They kind of got blown out in a sense a little bit. i think it was like, what?
00:40:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, yeah.
00:40:20
Mason
Yeah, so I mean, just overall, everybody, they were at the betting favorite at one point to win the Super Bowl. They were the the lead favorite.
00:40:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
huh
00:40:29
Mason
um and high expectations and now and did they lose both coordinators or just one so they lost
00:40:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
h Both coordinators, a lot of position coaches.
00:40:39
Mason
so we'll see what happens but i mean and looks like they're keeping all their like their bigger players that are already on the team
00:40:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Tough times.
00:40:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
See if Dan Campbell can not get the fraud of the year award next year for being a bad coach, being dependent on his coordinators. He's on the watch list.
00:40:57
Mason
But they didn't win the Super Bowl 10.
00:40:57
Zack
but makes you Having good coordinators makes you a bad coach.
00:41:01
Mason
They lost in the first round after having the best record. They didn't win the Super Bowl.
00:41:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Dan Campbell's definitely on fraud alert.
00:41:08
Zack
Good head coaches fire their coordinators. Just does it all themselves.
00:41:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Just saying.
00:41:13
Zack
Calls all the plays, both sides of the ball.
00:41:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Nick Sirianni got to pick his coordinators. They were bad. He fired them.
00:41:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Then the team was good. Some people are saying.
00:41:24
Mason
pretty happy with my picks.
00:41:25
Zack
I think maybe just you are saying at this point.
00:41:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Maybe I'm trying to start a narrative.
00:41:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Trying to have the Eagles fans on my side when they turn on him.
00:41:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They're a good bunch to have.
00:41:37
Mason
I'm curious to see where we're going to go with this one. This is going to be wild.
00:41:40
Zack
Enemy of the year. Enemy of the year.
00:41:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:41:45
Zack
lots of Lots of people that could fit in this category. I got a couple for sure. Tens.
00:41:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um my enemy of the year. And this, you could say this is a whole organization, fan group, everyone. um But very specifically is the Texans fan who hopped in my DMS uninvited and and then blocked me when his linebacker decided he was going to go rogue and kill my quarterback.
00:42:06
Zack
I knew it was going to be.
00:42:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He blocked me because he knew I was coming for him. He is a coward. He's a fraud.
00:42:18
Zack
That guy's an enemy. Yeah.
00:42:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And so he is my enemy.
00:42:21
Mason
You didn't even say anything, right?
00:42:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
he would
00:42:22
Mason
He just like blocked you on that random...
00:42:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
As soon as the hit happened, I went to my DMs to say something to him and I was already blocked.
00:42:30
Mason
Do you think it's the player that did that hit?
00:42:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, it's some guy.
00:42:33
Mason
He didn't want the smoke.
00:42:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, I could see where he was like replying to stuff, but it was like, you can't see this content because this user has blocked you.
00:42:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So that guy's my enemy, but along with CJ Stroud for saying it wasn't a dirty hit, um the head coach for saying the Jaguars were at fault for fighting with the linebacker for doing that, because if that happens to CJ Stroud, I'm sure he wouldn't want his players to go and punch somebody.
00:43:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um So yeah, the Texans organization have moved up to my number one enemy list, but specifically that Twitter user who blocked me and never gave me the chance to banter with him. After hopping in my DMs a year prior.
00:43:17
Mason
They may lose their whole team at this point, cut them some slack.
00:43:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Nope.
00:43:22
Mason
Might go to San Antonio.
00:43:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
out
00:43:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I will find him.
00:43:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um um' um I think I'm going to get a burner and find him.
00:43:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And burner him back.
00:43:36
Zack
I like that you're not actually mad at the guy who did the hit.
00:43:36
Mason
Can't wait for this.
00:43:39
Zack
You're mad at the Twitter user who blocked you.
00:43:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, I don't like him either, but he's a dirty player. I can't expect anything less for him.
00:43:44
Zack
think he could be an enemy for sure.
00:43:46
Mason
I was expecting him to be an enemy of the year.
00:43:47
Zack
I think we could all get behind that. Yeah.
00:43:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
he's He's a dirty player. look He won't admit that he's a dirty player, but you know he's he's also my enemy.
00:43:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's a given. He's my enemy.
00:43:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Pretty much everyone on the Texans, except for Nico Collins. I kind of like him, fantasy football-wise, but he plays for the Texans.
00:44:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I can't draft him.
00:44:06
Zack
Okay. Enemy of the year. My number one. I've got two. I have to say both of them. My number one. The free throw merchant himself.
00:44:19
Mason
Mmm, that's a good one.
00:44:19
Zack
raining terror upon the entire March Madness field.
00:44:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's true.
00:44:25
Zack
What are you supposed to do against this tall, stupid idiot who just sits down in the paint, gets fouls called against him all day because he's a foot taller than everybody else?
00:44:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Has no fundamental basketball skills.
00:44:37
Zack
He's not. i mean, he's not bad at the NBA. It's just impossible. It was impossible to stop him. Whenever he's going to get caught. I mean, that's just what he did. You know, he was not fun to watch.
00:44:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You got calls for turning around with the ball.
00:44:47
Zack
Ruined the entire tournament for everybody. um Except for one team where my second enemy resides. That would be Dan Hurley. Dan Hurley's really turned into an enemy this year.
00:44:59
Zack
um He went from a two-time national champion, like back-to-back, to all of a sudden, there's a fun thing that happens where a certain... People have a certain tolerance for like...
00:45:13
Zack
arrogance if you're winning and then when you stop winning it becomes much less cool yeah it would be like if uh i don't know if if like nick saban wasn't like what hubie was but he acted the way he did people would be like oh this guy sucks but when you were a winner it doesn't matter this year dan early velichick's the same way yes
00:45:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:45:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Annoying. yeah
00:45:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I think Belichick got some of that.
00:45:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
When the Patriots started being bad, everybody's like, oh, I'm i'm over the Belichick hoodie sweater and just do your job and all his little catchphrases.
00:45:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
like you're You're losing and you suck. Just shut up.
00:45:51
Zack
Yeah. that This has happened to Dan Hurley this year a little bit. He has this certain, he had this kind of aura around him. Now his team is not as good. He lost some of his guys. All of a sudden, he's got pretty annoying. He yells at the refs a lot.
00:46:05
Zack
lot of people don't like him. He's become an enemy. i think he's the number one enemy in college basketball right now. So shout to Dan Hurley.
00:46:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Probably.
00:46:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Dan Hurley, if you if you catch this, though, just know you'll never be my enemy. ah You made me a lot of money last two March Madnesses.
00:46:19
Mason
This did happen. Yeah.
00:46:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I can never hate the guy. I can't. He did a lot for me.
00:46:25
Zack
College basketball maybe needs an enemy. you know
00:46:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I think so.
00:46:27
Zack
I don't think it's bad.
00:46:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I think it's good to have a coach.
00:46:28
Zack
for There's a couple of them.
00:46:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The Emperor Palpatine.
00:46:30
Zack
Nate Oates. Nate Oates has some enemy energy too.
00:46:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, I don't like him.
00:46:35
Zack
ah Coach Cal, enemy.
00:46:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, but he's just wasting away in Arkansas now.
00:46:42
Zack
so're Not to make the tournament. What a tough one for that guy.
00:46:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Losers.
00:46:46
Zack
Okay. Yep. College basketball is one more enemies than college football.
00:46:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
think because the coaches are...
00:46:53
Zack
and know what I don't know why. There's more personalities.
00:46:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I feel college basketball coaches, yeah, more personalities. And they're more important to the game than like a college football coaches, really, at the end of the day, probably.
00:47:03
Zack
Yeah. That could be true.
00:47:05
Mason
If Urban Meyer was still a coach.
00:47:05
Zack
they're They're more involved. You get to watch them on the sideline. You kind of get to hear them yelling at the refs and stuff.
00:47:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
because the NBA, they don't do that. like the The coaches are very unimportant and not really doing anything.
00:47:18
Zack
Yeah, they're just like player managers. kind of They're just like, all right, guys, here's the player going to run.
00:47:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah.
00:47:21
Mason
what was the What was the older guy that yelled a lot?
00:47:24
Mason
Was that Bobby Knight?
00:47:26
Mason
Was that the one that was?
00:47:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Bobby Knight like threw chairs and stuff on the court.
00:47:28
Mason
Yeah. That's an enemy right there.
00:47:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He was there.
00:47:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He was.
00:47:34
Mason
was an enemy, yeah.
00:47:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
RIP, my man, Bobby Knight.
00:47:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Gone too soon.
00:47:46
Mason
Enemy of the Year. This is actually like a thing instead of like a person, and that would be the Tush Push play.
00:47:55
Mason
Get it out of here. Bad for the game. i hate watching it. We even had to see it in the Super Bowl. It did make me money. i mean, I had the Jalen Hurts first touchdown, of course.
00:48:02
Zack
Did be money as well.
00:48:07
Mason
But it's so me in Tinsley, I just remember Tinsley yelling at the โ when we were watching the game before the Super Bowl where they were up against Washington. We had to watch it like six, seven times in a row because they kept getting off sides.
00:48:18
Mason
And it's just like a horrendous play. ah for me. And a lot of people are like, it's a football play diving at the knees.
00:48:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's not.
00:48:26
Mason
I'm surprised there's not more injuries. And it's like, well, other people don't know how to do it. I mean, Josh Allen didn't do it correctly or whatever. And I was like, don't know. I've just seen so many people pushing back on this.
00:48:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
yeah
00:48:37
Mason
And I'm like, this wasn't in this wasn't even like an old football play. This has just came popular the last couple of years. And it's a cheat code for certain teams that that's all they like to practice.
00:48:48
Mason
And they found a benefit on that's all. That's all I'm to say.
00:48:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It was...
00:48:52
Mason
Get it out of here. Packers wanted it out of here and hopefully it might be banned because they're looking, they're looking at it.
00:48:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
going to vote. I hope they vote to ban it.
00:48:59
Mason
Yeah. Get it out of here.
00:49:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It was illegal just a couple years ago.
00:49:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You couldn't push a player from behind. um That was a rule up until just a couple years ago.
00:49:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And if you look at it, not to be a football nerd, but the offensive line is not set ever in in a formation that is legal. Every single time Lane Johnson is is down on all fours, he's a right tackle. You can't line up like that.
00:49:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's not legal. All of their heads are past the football.
00:49:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's false start.
00:49:29
Mason
I know this is crazy, but you never see like replays or slow motions, and I feel like it's because they don't want you to see how i bogus... it like oh like Players will be moving forward as it starts. like The person's already pushing before as the ball's like getting hiked.
00:49:45
Mason
like it just i don't know. It just seems like a bogus play to me. Enemy of the year for me.
00:49:50
Mason
It's just... Because it's ruining the game. I'm surprised we don't see it in college yet.
00:49:55
Zack
Ruining the game, everybody.
00:49:57
Mason
I really do think so. i'm I'm not kidding.
00:49:59
Zack
You're going to get max of two yards.
00:50:03
Mason
Touchdowns. There used to be goal liness goal line stands.
00:50:07
Mason
That was like what was fun to watch.
00:50:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Sure.
00:50:09
Mason
And now it's not that anymore.
00:50:12
Zack
Only your offensive line is really good.
00:50:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They're not really good. They're lined up in a way that they're already underneath the defense because they're the way they do it is not legal.
00:50:23
Mason
And then what was the tight end? There was a tight end that was also taking snaps and doing it. I just feel like now they're just going to have different players. If you don't have a quarterback that...
00:50:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Cole Komet for the Bears was doing it.
00:50:32
Mason
If you want... yeah if you're just like worried about like your quarterback getting hurt, if he's like a scrawny or skinnier, just not built to do this, they'll just start putting tight ends in there.
00:50:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Bryce Young.
00:50:43
Mason
Yeah. That's going say. That's all
00:50:46
Zack
Okay, that's all I'm saying.
00:50:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's all he's going to say.

Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mac Jones made me miss Blaine Gabbert.
00:51:57

Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Love the bear.

00:52:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network

Okay, mine I feel like I'm going to be made fun of. What else is new?
00:52:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, no.
00:52:51
Mason
It's kind of funny because it came out in 2022, but I just watched it in the past three months, four months, I guess.
00:53:02
Mason
And that they actually got brought up during ah last week's... What'd you say?
00:53:08
Mason
Okay, it actually got and actually got brought up during your all's last week's episode of...
00:53:15
Mason
Yeah, and that would be Avatar Way of Water.
00:53:19
Mason

00:53:20
Zack
Wow. You watched it from home?
00:53:23
Mason
Yeah, I watched it from home. It was on Disney+.
00:53:28
Zack
It's pretty good. Not bad.
00:53:30
Mason
Thank you, Zach. Thank you, Mr. Hater over there.
00:53:32
Zack
No, i don't I don't mind it.
00:53:34
Mason
It's also funny that it's been out for like two or three years.
00:53:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I just, that's, that's why it's funny.
00:53:35
Zack
I watched it in like iMacs in like a big screen.
00:53:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Cause it's been out for a long time.
00:53:40
Zack
Check the time for the next one.
00:53:40
Mason
I don't watch things.
00:53:43
Mason
That's right. I'm trying to space them out a little bit so I don't have to wait eight years to watch the next one.
00:53:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, that was good. Um,
00:53:50
Mason
Now only have to wait five.
00:53:53
Zack
Honorable mention, Deadpool Wolverine. Watched that with the boys.
00:53:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ye
00:53:56
Zack
Did some live reactions.
00:53:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
good
00:54:00
Zack
mean, it wasn't movie magic or anything, but it was good.
00:54:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Moana 2 was almost on my list.
00:54:05
Zack
haven't seen it yet.
00:54:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I really like it. um It'll be on Disney Plus pretty soon, I'm ah i'm sure.
00:54:10
Zack
Yeah, I think in like two weeks.
00:54:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
it was good. Macy liked it. We actually sat through the whole movie
00:54:17
Zack
It's at least a new movie to put in the cycle.
00:54:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
in the rotation.
00:54:20
Zack
Yeah, that's a big plus.
00:54:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mason picking Avatar is funny because Macy's been re-watching Toy Story a lot recently. like It's like her favorite movie right now.
00:54:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It'd be like if Macy was like, yeah, ah the best thing I watched this year was Toy Story 1.
00:54:42
Zack
I mean, it's a good pick. I do think there is a it a strategy. i'm I'm already trying to think about like what movies to introduce carefully. Because I feel like there's certain movies just want to avoid. Not
00:54:57
Mason
Monsters, Inc. Don't start that one out when they're young.
00:54:59
Zack
ah mushnik is i'm not for not not to be scary, but like for rewatchability purposes. like
00:55:04
Zack
You don't want them to love a movie that you don't want you hate.
00:55:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:55:07
Zack
You don't want have to watch it all the time if they fall in love with it.
00:55:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You don't want to rewatch. Yeah.
00:55:10
Zack
Like, Toy Story's a good one.
00:55:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:55:11
Zack
Like, that's a good movie.
00:55:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm-hmm. Yep. Toy Story is at least once a week.
00:55:15
Zack
I feel like the songs of Frozen make that kind of a tough one.
00:55:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, but I had kids at the time where it was unavoidable.
00:55:20
Zack
Frozen was a problem. Yeah. When it's everywhere, you kind of just can't get get past it.
00:55:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
yeah
00:55:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We avoided Mickey Mouse pretty good.
00:55:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, pretty annoying.
00:55:34
Zack
You're in the Cocoa Melon, though.
00:55:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We had Cocomelon for just a minute. i Banished that pretty quick.
00:55:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Paw Patrol, I like Paw Patrol. Paw Patrol's fun. Paw Patrol movie, probably on my list of best things I watched this year. Watch a lot of children's TV and movies, everyone.
00:55:53
Zack
Paw Patrol movie. I like that. I like that.
00:55:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I restarted Under the Dome because I think I'll ever watch the first episode im back in the day.
00:56:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Boys, it's bad.
00:56:04
Zack
I watched the first season Stephen King book.
00:56:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
it would not be on the It would not be on the list. Talk about some bad acting. Some very bad acting. Go back and watch it. It's on who ah Paramount+.
00:56:12
Zack
Isn't Hank from Breaking Bad in that show?
00:56:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
plus
00:56:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's main character.
00:56:19
Zack
Yeah, that's what I thought.
00:56:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
his And his acting, like just the way it's written is just terrible.
00:56:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
it's It's like a VBS play. like It's like me giving lines.
00:56:28
Zack
but If you guys were wondering, it's a show about this town and a dome gets dropped on it and they don't know what to do.
00:56:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
like That's what the whole show feels like.
00:56:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm going to finish it and and do a should you watch that.
00:56:39
Zack
How many episodes are there?
00:56:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um work There's three seasons, 39 episodes. 42 minutes episode.
00:56:43
Mason
That's commitment right there.
00:56:44
Zack
It's a waste of 35 hours of time. I am watching a couple shows.
00:56:50
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
forty two minutes an episode
00:56:53
Zack
We've been deep into Sheridanverse over at our house, 1923. And we Landman when we finished it.
00:57:01
Zack
And so we're watching some stuff.
00:57:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Landman looks good, but it's a little intense from the clips I've seen.
00:57:07
Zack
It's fine. Yeah, it's fine. It's fine. um Yeah, from mature audiences only.
00:57:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mature audiences only.
00:57:19
Zack
Yeah. ah And I'm watching Reacher. That's the other one. Reacher's really good. Daredevil starts this week.
00:57:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It does.
00:57:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We'll definitely need to watch that and do us should you watch that at the end once it's done.
00:57:31
Zack
First two episodes. I'm very excited about Daredevil.
00:57:35
Mason
Zach, a big daredevil guy.
00:57:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:57:37
Zack
excited. I'm excited. going good.
00:57:43
Zack
Okay. Do we want to do a little bit of combine talk here before we get out of here today?
00:57:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
yeah We can do a little combine talk. It's hot and heavy on the TVs on the Twitter verse.
00:57:53
Mason
Yeah, I can ah can speed through some of this. Like, the guys on the 40-yard dash.
00:57:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, what a transition.
00:58:01
Mason
Got him. All right. We're actually going start there. So the everybody likes to see the top speeds and if it transitions or not. And we're going to start with Maxwell Harrison.
00:58:12
Mason
I'm saying that correctly because there's a T in there.
00:58:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh,
00:58:14
Mason
And that is a cornerback from Kentucky. He had a 4.28 40-yard dash. forty yard dash he it converted because when I was watching the drills, they did a lot of the cornerback drills where they're stepping back and like they're in coverage and then they have to go through cones.
00:58:31
Mason
He looks so much like his change of direction and his cuts look so much different than any of the others that were out there. It was like... It was insane. And they were so they did the 40 yard first and they were talking about, hey, we need to keep an eye on this guy.
00:58:45
Mason
And his just a change of direction, cutting his speed overall speed was just way better than any of the others that were out there. So just keep an eye on that.
00:58:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I like him. he's He's on my list.
00:58:59
Mason
On your list. There
NFL Draft Highlights
00:59:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yep, he's on my list.
00:59:02
Mason
When we're looking at other 40 times, ah it's funny. I mean, Tins were actually talking about this earlier, but um the Texas wide receiver, i have to scroll down to find him.
00:59:15
Mason
It's kind of funny to, what was his name?
00:59:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Which one? Isaiah Bond?
00:59:20
Mason
Isaiah Bond. He was talking about how he was possibly going to beat the record. And he was, yeah.
00:59:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He said he's going to. He made a declaration.
00:59:30
Mason
So you're thinking, oh, he must have had like 4-3 or something along the line.
00:59:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Must have been close, you know? Maybe like a 4-2-9, like really fast, but just not quite there.
00:59:42
Mason
Yeah, I'm having to scroll down. He had like a 4-4 something.
00:59:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
his His first run was 4-4-1, and then his second run was 4-3-9.
00:59:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Which, yeah, that's super fast.
00:59:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's still very fast, but for you...
00:59:54
Mason
That's very fast. Don't get me wrong.
00:59:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
but for you you to go out and be like, I'm going to break the record, no doubt about it. So Texas, you know you know, we might want to check Texas' pro day. They might have a 35-yard dash instead of a 34 because this guy had it in his head that he's out here breaking records.
01:00:10
Mason
Also, I don't know what's in their water or their food in Texas, but x Xavier Worthy beat the the record. He still had a very fast one, Isaiah Bond. And then Matthew Golden, he had the second best at a 4-2-9 wide receiver for Texas.
01:00:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm-hmm.
01:00:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
and Mitchell from last year too. They've had a lot of dudes in a row, like really fast guys,
01:00:30
Mason
Zach, second fastest wide receiver for the 40, Dante Thornton Jr. It's little exciting there.
01:00:35
Zack
Yeah, he was flying. six five
01:00:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
which is insane. Yeah. He's six, five and running that fast. Like that's, that's crazy.
01:00:43
Mason
Because a lot of it has to do with like they're when they're taller like that. like They're just not built.
01:00:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's literally the resistance, the air resisting them.
01:00:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like it's not even a joke. Like that's a real thing.
01:00:55
Mason
yeah and their gait is just obviously a little bit longer. so um Had a couple notes here.
01:01:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's a future bear calling it.
01:01:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
01:01:04
Mason
um When it came to the wide receiver drills, ah teed Tez Johnson out of Oregon, he had a slow 40 at 4.51. The commentators were also like, he's way faster than that.
01:01:16
Mason
i don't know what's going on, but he looked he looked really good.
01:01:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
01:01:19
Mason
and the If anybody knows what the gauntlet is. They turn around, catch a ball, turn around, and then they just jet off the 35-yard line in a straight line, catching, i think, six balls in a row, and then they take off.
01:01:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
01:01:31
Mason
They start timing that. ah he had won the better time He had the best time for the ah gauntlet, but his most of his wide receiver drills did not drop a pass, looked very smooth, looked pretty good there.
01:01:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
a lot of guys A lot of guys, like the 40 is great. um It's a good measure of like how fast you are. But i like I care more about that drill, the football drill, because that tells you how fast they are as a football player. like Football players don't run straight lines for 40 yards.
01:01:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I mean, they do. There's a go route. But I like to see the receiver moving you know in and out of breaks and catching the ball and how fluid he is and how fast he can do that. So that's that was good for him because he is small too.
01:02:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's like five nine 150 pounds. like He's one of the smaller receivers ever to come to the the combine.
01:02:16
Mason
And so they ah did a lot of copies of like the line ah following them, and you want to stay on that 35. You want to run a straight while you're catching those balls while you're running across there.
01:02:30
Mason
And um his looked really good. we already talked about Isaiah Bond, but Jalen Knoll out of Iowa State. And then let's see โ Torrey Horton, keep an on him. He came from ah Colorado State.
01:02:43
Mason
He also looked really good in that as well. So that was a couple notes that I had. Everybody is wondering about the quarterbacks. It is not surprise that obviously Jackson Dart is moving up in the boards his combine.
01:02:59
Mason
good Just go back, just literally look up tape. I know Zach's not a fan, but he was killing every single pass that he had. So Jackson Dart moving up.
01:03:11
Mason
I think he'll go in the top 15, top 10, top 15.
01:03:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Steeler.
01:03:15
Mason
ah Let's see what happens.
01:03:16
Mason
But ah Will Howard and there's now, but Will Howard and I did not ah ah like Dylan.
01:03:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Steeler.
01:03:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Raider.
01:03:23
Mason
Dylan Gabriel also did not look good. ah They talk.
01:03:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Dylan Gabriel is not like a good quarterback.
01:03:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Newsflash.
01:03:31
Mason
I think a lot of people just because, you know, Oregon, they were in the playoffs, but both. the So they were to explaining and it makes sense to everybody. A lot of these, they had random wide receiver lined up. You don't know what their speed is. You've never worked with them. You never throw a pass to them in your day in your life. So you have to adjust.
01:03:49
Mason
And that was what like what I like to watch because everybody's like, no one cares. Like this is an actual game. But for me, like i like the, you have to adjust and figure it out. Like someone, they even did the long ball. So you're having to throw a 40, 45 yard, 50 yard pass, and you're having to adjust to what their speed is. You're literally comprehending how fast they're going and you have to throw that pass perfectly to them.
01:04:14
Mason
So, um, will howard and dylan gabriel they were both off and obviously there's video surfacing now it beat me to it but of just will howard it was all his misses he was thrown behind he was the a majority of them were throwing in front of or too high and will howard was even like thrown behind getting behind there so a couple of stock might be falling a little bit on those two to know everybody's like, why aren't you talking about Travis Hunter, Shador Sanders, um,
01:04:50
Mason
Abdul Carter, none of them ended up going for the combine. ah It depends on what you want to see if there's nothing for them to gain, but I like to see it, obviously, just because i want to I want to see these guys work out, and do but I understand if they feel like they have nothing to lose, why go out there? And if something did mess up or if you did mess up on something, maybe that tape would actually hurt you.
01:05:15
Mason
But for me, I kind of was excited to see, especially Travis Hunter. Like, I was just curious to see him out on drills if he wasn't going to do the 40 and decide not to. So their pro days will be out soon and we'll get to see more of that. But yeah, that's my coverage.
01:05:31
Mason
Any questions, comments?
01:05:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um Jackson Dart will be a Steeler.
01:05:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Will Howard will be a Raider. Dylan Gabriel will be undrafted.
Conclusion and Listener Engagement
01:05:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And this will go down as the best offensive and defensive line draft in recent memory. You're talking about multiple dudes at multiple positions on the offensive defensive line who are going to be 10 plus year starters.
01:05:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
This, if if you need some beefy boys, this is the draft to do it. If you need some wide receivers and corners and quarterbacks, this is not the draft to do it. So if your team, if you see them draft a lot of beefy, big guys, be happy.
01:06:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It might be boring. Mel Kiper is not going to be hyping you up about, Oh, this wide receiver has game breaking speed. braer but No, sorry. It's not the draft for that. These aren't these guys. This is the draft for boring left tackles, right tackles, defensive tackles, big guys trenches.
01:06:22
Mason
It last year, two years ago.
01:06:33
Mason
That's important too, you know.
01:06:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And luckily for both of our teams, we don't have dumb GMs running them anymore to draft dumb guys. We're going to draft good players.
01:06:40
Mason
Well, that's right. We'll see what happens. You never know. Okay, that was the combine. Talk. Anything else, boys? Feeling good?
01:06:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Feeling great.
01:06:57
Mason
All right. Well, that is this week's episode of the Next Guy Out podcast. We appreciate you all listening in. Don't forget to check out the Discord. ah You can find that on our socials.
