Mason
I was just...
00:01:36
Zack
Wow.
00:01:36
Mason
he was just talking about how stressed he's going to be about this game. And so, you know, my stress is no more, of course.
00:01:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay. Okay. That's fine. We want to talk about how you didn't even want to win your game. You wanted to lose.
00:01:49
Mason
I said, and I quote, I don't know what I want. So...
00:01:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We know what that means. if i If I would have said, gun the head right now, what do you want? You and my fellows.
00:01:58

00:01:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So we can fire Callahan.
00:01:58
Zack
I'll say the win.
00:02:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, you had a shot at that. And then the Cardinals are just...
Cardinals and Kyler Murray's Future
00:02:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
there They're so bad. what What is going on with them? Like, he he does not want to be there.
00:02:14
Zack
Yeah, Kyle Murray's rough. Diggum fantasy quarterback.
00:02:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Did you see the thing? I ah saw where, I guess, they're doing interview about the new training facility that's going to open up in 2028 for the Cardinals. And he said, yeah, I hope I'm still here for when it opens. Like,
00:02:33
Mason
Wow.
00:02:34
Zack
Yeah, it's not good
00:02:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I would not be surprised. I think he's a guy who's going to be on the move. They'll be like a kind of sneaky new head coach candidacy this year, I think. It's
NFL Coaches' Job Security

Next Guy Up Podcast Network
just not clicked with Gannon.
00:02:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Nick Sirianni, Tree and all. you know Those guys like to stay on the hot seat.
00:02:56
Mason
Just like Nick Sirianni. Got a loss today, by the way.
00:02:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Saikin, he's lucky he found Daniel Jones or else he'd be on the hot seat.
00:03:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
and Nick Sirianni is going to He keeps this up ah blew that big lead against the Broncos.
00:03:14
Zack
you
00:03:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
His seat's 10 degrees warmer than it was last week, I'll tell you that.
00:03:21
Mason
Well, you definitely need to get that clip and put that on the because put that on the TikTok because I think that is as hot as a take as Nick's here on his hot seat is.
00:03:34
Mason
just kidding.
00:03:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah Probably. They're probably pretty similar.
Football Game Outcomes and Predictions
00:03:40
Mason
Okay, so we got some football to dive into. um What do we want to start with first?
00:03:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
m Which categories? Or was there anything loose laying around? a one one pick I guess that's part of it. We don't know what we're going to
00:03:53
Zack
Best of the rest.
00:03:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, best the rest.
00:03:55
Mason
Yeah, we should...
00:03:56
Zack
Ooh, that was tough.
00:03:56
Mason
a
00:03:59
Zack
Yeah, that one didn't end great for us we were We were off pretty bad for the first time, maybe.
00:03:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Boy.
00:04:04
Zack
um Yeah, we blamed Butch Jones last week.
00:04:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, that was a tough one.
00:04:08
Zack
It was his fault. This week, we picked some teams that had some unknowns. um We went pretty hard for New Mexico, who just beat the team that just beat Penn State.
00:04:19
Zack
So that's pretty confusing. all And...
00:04:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So does that mean New Mexico should be ranked?
00:04:24
Zack
ah But... I mean, San Jose State should be ranked.
00:04:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Or yeah, San Jose State. Yeah.
00:04:32
Zack
Because they just beat New Mexico. that's pretty confusing stuff there. Just to be clear. Who knows? Not me.
00:04:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Any given Saturday.
00:04:39
Zack
How a team loses to New Mexico and then beats Penn State in the same... In like a four-game stretch is beyond me. I don't know.
00:04:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, I don't know, man. It's a wild times.
00:04:50
Zack
What a strange world we live in.
Ranking Debate: New Mexico
00:04:52
Mason
hmm
00:04:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
we We called the under. I think the final score was like 35 to 27. Flew. Flew over.
00:04:55
Zack
Yeah, it was not close.
00:04:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Turns out. blue
00:04:58
Zack
yeah um and we also thought New Mexico had the edge.
00:04:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
flew over
00:05:02
Zack
They did not, turns out.
00:05:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
turns out
00:05:05
Zack
and It was pretty competitive game. It was close.
00:05:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, it was fun. I like fell asleep watching it.
00:05:12
Zack
Yeah, it was late. Late, late.
00:05:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, I did start really late. So, you know, that's three and two on the best of the rest.
00:05:17
Zack
But it fun.
NFL Games and Betting Results
00:05:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's time for a bounce back. 3-2 is still just fine.
00:05:23
Zack
time
00:05:28
Mason
Above 500.
00:05:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Above 500. That's making the playoffs in the
00:05:32
Zack
It's pretty good.
00:05:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
All right, yeah. No, I mean, other I don't want to give away categories because so some of us have a lot of points already. um And some of us were trying to play defense the whole season and got a couple points.
00:05:50
Zack
Who could that be?
00:05:53
Mason
I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah.
00:05:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I don't have any crazy takes. i actually watched i watched more games. I found myself flipping around today. realized that even...
00:06:05
Zack
well You didn't have the Jags just on the mind?
00:06:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, when the Jags are on, I'll just sit through a commercial break and just watch. I don't want to miss it.
00:06:13
Zack
got to take a break. You need the break sometimes.
00:06:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah, we'll see if that's any – I don't know.
00:06:18
Zack
like that.
00:06:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Tomorrow, um but i can't be on Twitter, cannot be on TikTok tomorrow. It could be a loose cannon one way or the other.
00:06:26
Zack
I like that.
00:06:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
we already found the ref, head ref. The Chiefs are 11-0 with him reffing their games.
00:06:34
Zack
Yeah, Tins is pre-mad about some potential calls from the ref.
00:06:37
Mason
Before the game even started.
00:06:39
Zack
Who, apparently, the games that the ref is in, the Chiefs tend to win.
00:06:47
Zack
I pointed out that the Chiefs have won a lot of games in the last seven
00:06:47
Mason
Coincidence.
College Football Game of the Week: Texas vs. Florida
00:06:51
Zack
years.
00:06:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
eleven and o is a little sketchy. And the guy has a job as a professor at Texas Tech. Who went to Texas Tech?
00:07:01
Zack
Good question.
00:07:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Who has his number retired at Texas Tech?
00:07:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
even that's See, that which that's a joke.
00:07:06
Mason
Can't think of anybody.
00:07:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He didn't do anything at Texas Tech, so why is his number retired there for his success in the NFL?
00:07:12
Zack
He didn't do anything there?
00:07:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Did he win any cool big games?
00:07:18
Zack
I don't know, to be honest. feel like he's part of the era 8 offense over there. i just feel like he was part of the era where it was like Big 12 was just putting up humongous numbers every week.
00:07:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Well, yeah, that's fine. We'll retire numbers for that. All right.
00:07:32
Zack
Sure, I will.
00:07:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Someone better get ready to retire.
00:07:35
Zack
Our time to move from anything else.
00:07:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hindenhooker's number needs to be retired then.
00:07:43
Zack
It might be.
Panthers' Comeback Against Dolphins
00:07:45
Zack
First playoff appearance. No, he almost got playoffs.
00:07:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah
00:07:50
Zack
Just kidding.
00:07:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Just kidding. That was a heartbreaking year.
00:07:52
Zack
He didn't actually do that.
00:07:55
Zack
um Okay. Do we want to want to break some stuff down here, folks?
00:07:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, let's let's dive in.
00:08:03
Zack
um Boy, I got a lot of fraud of the week. I've got like multiple. I'm not sure what to do with those.
00:08:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
hmm a lot of frauds
00:08:07
Mason
Just say all of them.
00:08:08
Zack
Um...
00:08:12
Zack
I really do have multiple frauds. um Okay. So first of all, we have game of the week. Game of the week.
00:08:23
Zack
um I am going to get so get us started off with Texas, Florida.
00:08:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
hmm
00:08:30
Zack
and ah Fun game over here in the swamp. if Did you pick that?
00:08:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No.
00:08:36
Zack
oh
00:08:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
but Okay.
00:08:37
Zack
yes.
00:08:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I see. Nevermind. Okay. Yeah. Because I picked college in NFL, so I got to stay on my toes out here.
00:08:44
Zack
You do. You are bold. You're the bravest of us all. ah So Texas at Florida, a big upset. If only a podcast told you this could be an upset potential.
00:08:56
Zack
That was us. I called this game. I was only a like a six and a half point point spread, seven and a half, something like that in Florida. ah Texas kept it close late, um but Florida was up pi pretty big late in the game.
00:09:10
Zack
ah This Florida kind of dominated line of scrimmage. Texas could just never really get things going. ah They just they were slower on Quinn. I mean, Arch Manning had 260 pass yards, but he had two touchdowns and two interceptions.
00:09:26
Zack
16 for 29. just he wasn't he had 15 carries for 37 yards. It's not a great number.
00:09:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
tough.
00:09:34
Zack
Uh, he just ended up, um, not playing great. Kind of what his MO has become, which is just, he's kind of mediocre quarterback in the sec. Uh, Dylan Lagway had a pretty good game. I mean, I think the story still is that, uh, Florida's defense is pretty good and the Florida's offense can just do anything.
00:09:51
Zack
They're going to a hard team to beat coming down the stretch here. Uh, the real winner is Billy Napier who somehow continues to be the head coach of Florida Gators.
00:10:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm-hmm.
00:10:00
Zack
Um, Year after year. So this game might have just saved his career again.
00:10:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I would say so.
00:10:06
Zack
So shout to him ah for just winning that one big game every year that saved your job. I'm glad it was Texas and
NFL Game Predictions: Buccaneers vs. Seahawks
00:10:12
Zack
not Tennessee later on, hopefully.
00:10:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:10:15
Zack
ah So you got it out of the system early.
00:10:19
Zack
um Okay. Tens. Game of the week.
00:10:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
are All right. So I'm going a little unconventional here. It's my game of the week, but it is going to be the Panthers against the Panthers.
00:10:26
Zack
I like that.
00:10:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Miami Dolphins. um
00:10:33
Mason
I'm
00:10:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The Dolphins were up at 1.17 to three. Panthers come all the way back winning 24 21.
00:10:39
Zack
Thank
00:10:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Right. that the final score? I think, um, Regardless, uh, just, you got a Dolphins team that thinks maybe, okay, we, we got a big win last week against the Jets on Thursday night football.
00:10:45
Mason
looking.
00:10:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like it's time to start getting this thing rolling in a positive direction. And you lose the Panthers who are just, just the worst of the worst CJ Stroud or CJ Stroud. Sorry.
00:11:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Uh, the other bad quarterback from that draft class, Bryce young, um,
00:11:10
Mason
Mm-hmm.
00:11:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Just, you know, started out the game looking bad. ah They bounce back and rally. You blow a huge lead to a bad Panthers team. Mike McDaniels, after the game, looks defeated walking into the locker room. Like, he took, like a like, a little mini walk outside the locker room before he walked in looking sad. Because i the writing's on the wall. Like, this is it's over.
00:11:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mike McDaniels, you're fired. It could happen tonight, honestly. Yeah. Tua, you're done. like It's just the whole thing's about to get blown up. so My game of the week, the Panthers for that rally comeback and ending the Dolphins season.
00:11:52
Mason
27-24. I'm not sure what score you said. Close enough.
00:11:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I was close.
00:11:57
Mason
Alright, let's hear your college game.
00:12:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
My college game of the week didn't.
00:12:03
Mason
or Did you do two? Did you do a college in a...
00:12:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, I don't normally do too.
00:12:07
Mason
Oh, okay. Never mind.
00:12:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I do too for the preview, but for categories.
00:12:08
Mason
Sorry.
00:12:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But um yeah, I mean, in my opinion, I was really looking forward to this college slate and it ended up being kind of a bummer. But there weren't any cool games.
00:12:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
There were no games that really was like, oh yeah, that was something.
00:12:24
Mason
Nothing too crazy. OK.
00:12:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I mean, other than Penn State and UCLA, but i'm i'm sure I'm sure we're going to get to them very soon.
00:12:34
Mason
I'm sure. Yes, 100 percent. Okay, I'm going to go with for my game of the week. I actually predicted this as my game of the week last week, and it did not disappoint. That wouldd be the Buccaneers at the Seahawks.
00:12:48
Mason
um This was a shootout. um it ended up put The total ah score was, I believe, like 73 points. The final score ended ended up being 38 35.
00:12:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Thank you.
00:13:02
Mason
And we had, it was an insane game. Baker Mayfield scrambles out of the pocket and throws an 11-yard touchdown with a minute, eight seconds left to tie the game at 35.
00:13:14
Mason
um Unfortunately, Darnold threw a pass that got deflected and picked off. And then Baker Mayfield does what he has done literally and the Buccaneers all season long.
00:13:25
Mason
ah where they just they had great field position, kind of marched down a little bit further just to kick a game-winning field goal. Somehow the Buccaneers always find a way to win games like this.
00:13:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
yeah
00:13:37
Mason
They end up being 4-1, and all four wins have come within the final minute of the game. Both quarterbacks threw for over 340 yards each. ah Just crazy electric game, and it did not disappoint.
00:13:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, that was a fun one. um Yeah, the Bucks have just some magic right now. Baker just refuses to to be out of any game. Even the game, the the one loss against the Eagles, like they came back and they they almost pulled off a comeback in that game too, so.
00:14:07
Mason
Almost won that one, yeah.
00:14:11
Mason
All right.
00:14:14
Zack
Okay, next up, we have Performance of the Week.
Nico Iamaleava's Performance
00:14:19
Zack
And here for Performance of the Week, my nomination is your very own Nico Iamaliava.
00:14:29
Zack
Shout out to my guy ah taking down Penn State almost single-handedly. will tell you this guy had um almost 300 yards of offense. he had five He counted for five touchdowns, folks.
00:14:42
Zack
ah two passing and three on the ground. He took the game over and he said, you know what? We're not going to, we're not going down like this. And he rose to the occasion like we all knew we would.
00:14:53
Zack
ah Shout out to Nico. I hope this is worth it for you. um An interim head coach and and a brand new offensive coordinator.
00:15:05
Zack
um Just a wild set of events there, but ah Penn state goes to UCLA in front of hundreds of people and, uh, take the L they stormed the field in a very funny, video where it will it looked like when Vandy stormed the field a couple of years ago, it was like, they were just like filing onto the field quietly.
00:15:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
There's no one there. Yeah.
00:15:27
Zack
And they were like, okay, cool.
00:15:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
get
00:15:28
Zack
Good work guys. Um, against Penn state. What, what did it move to go from the white out last week to, UCLA in that environment and then lose both games and,
00:15:41
Zack
James Franklin, he really probably is fraud of the century. Can't win the big one. Shout out to my guy. Penn State maybe eliminated?
00:15:55
Zack
Question mark?
00:15:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I mean, that's too its two losses in conference.
00:15:58
Zack
It's close because their schedule is very soft. They have ah they have Ohio State still. If they're going beat Ohio State and sneak in, it's going to be garbage.
00:16:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, but
00:16:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
he's but they've never beat Ohio State. They never do.
00:16:11
Zack
Yeah, we can't win the big one. That's the problem. ah So, I don't know, but it was pretty funny. Penn State's one of those teams you just love to see lose. So, not mad about that one.
00:16:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm-hmm. I'm always rigging against them.
00:16:22
Zack
Pretty funny.
00:16:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. For no real reason. I don't... They've never done anything to me personally.
00:16:26
Zack
Yeah.
00:16:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
i just... I don't hope they succeed ever.
00:16:30
Zack
I think they like the whole um scandal, like Joe Paterno thing, I feel like they just became a national villain.
00:16:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Enemy?
00:16:38
Zack
Yeah.
00:16:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That'll do it.
00:16:40
Zack
Same with Miami. I feel like at one point they had had a real bad boy vibe and everyone was like, ugh, this guy suck. Yeah. ah Miami might be back, though.
00:16:52
Zack
Okay, moving on
00:16:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Miami might be back.
00:16:53
Zack
ah Mason?
00:16:56
Mason
I'm going to go with congrats if you pick this person up on your fantasy team.
00:16:56
Zack
I skipped around.
00:17:01
Mason
I would never, um because I don't know how to make fantasy football moves. That would be one Rico Dowdle rushing 206 yards, touchdown, and like Tinsley talked about, helping the Panthers come back from a 17-point deficit to win that game.
00:17:06
Zack
True.
00:17:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Love that. Shout out Rico Dottle. For some reason, the Cowboys just let him walk in free agency, even though he was very good player for them.
00:17:25
Mason
Mm-hmm.
00:17:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Turned it out. It worked out for him. Javante Williams is really good. But um yeah, no, shout out Rico Dottle today. Just absolutely carving up the Miami non-existent defense and getting us one step closer to that worst record in the in the season.

My player of the week, performance of the week, is also... I'm just joking. No points. No points here. I went with David Montgomery, running back for the Lions, and that is because so he becomes the first player in Lions history.
00:17:56
Mason
All right.
00:18:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
so Well, first player since 1958 to have a rushing and passing touchdown in the same game. You would think a quarterback would do that, right? Quarterbacks get rushing touchdowns all the time.
00:18:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Obviously they throw the ball, but no, not since 1958 has a Lions player done that. So he threw a touchdown pass today and also rushed for one.
Lions' Trick Plays and Coaching
00:18:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah He's from the Cincinnati area. His family lives there. They kept doing cutaways. His sister has a lot of health issues and she's paralyzed in the wheelchair.
00:18:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And so he wanted to show out for her today. And so he did that by breaking a longstanding Lions record.
00:18:39
Mason
That's awesome. I did not know that about that record.
00:18:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. I popped up on my screen. He was very big and a couple bets and parlays for me. So was all right, well, shout out David Montgomery.
00:18:52
Mason
There's some trick play magic out there today.
00:18:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, they've everyone kind of thought they would run they wouldn't be doing as much trick plays without Ben Johnson. Turns out the Lions can just do whatever they want. They can just run all the creative trick play stuff no matter who's calling the plays.
00:19:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Because like low-key, Dan Campbell is an offensive-minded coach and helps create all this stuff. Everybody just thinks he's probably like a more defensive player. old school type coach because he's big and muscular and listens to Metallica and likes to drink black coffee. But he's actually probably like an evil genius behind the scenes.
00:19:30
Mason
Metallica and drink black. like that.
00:19:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
that's That's what he likes to do. He likes to buy people's knees caps.
00:19:39
Zack
Alright. Moving on. Feel good?
00:19:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Feel great.
00:19:43
Mason
So great.
00:19:43
Zack
Surprise of the week.
00:19:50
Zack
Because I kind of had two different frauds, I'm going to save one of my
Bill Belichick's Future
00:19:53
Zack
frauds. I'm going to go surprise the week. Billy B. Bill Belichick. Just getting bow raced by Clemson This is a surprise for the whole season more than just this one game I think you know came into the season just really wanted bill Belichick to ah felt like ah There's no way he was just gonna roll over and die on on the sideline and that's what he's done He's given up Jordan has done a very poor job of motivating him. It seems like, uh, he has nothing to live for anymore.
00:20:26
Zack
Nothing to work for, nothing to play for. I don't know why he's, i just feel like he gets every day. Like, why did I decide to do this? This is the worst. Um, I think the, ah the odds of him being the head coach of North Carolina next season are just so low.
00:20:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
yeah
00:20:40
Zack
ah just feel like he's having a terrible time. Um,
00:20:45
Zack
yeah, I just, I expected more out of bill here. thought more fight in him. I think he's done. He's cooked.
00:20:52
Mason
Tom Brady doesn't play for the North Carolina, so...
00:20:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I think I'm going to zig from that.
00:20:54
Zack
This is true.
00:20:58
Zack
Okay. I like that.
00:21:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
These aren't his guys.
00:21:00
Zack
I want you to prove me wrong.
00:21:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
These aren't his guys.
00:21:03
Zack
a
00:21:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They didn't do a ton in the transfer portal.
00:21:06
Zack
Yeah.
00:21:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He has flipped a couple.
00:21:07
Zack
Who is in control of the transfer portal?
00:21:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Well, it was his first season. He's trying to figure it out.
00:21:11
Zack
Okay. Yeah.
00:21:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He has flipped a couple of five stars, including one guy from University of Tennessee, a five-star offensive lineman.
00:21:18
Zack
Yeah, he's going back. He's coming back. Don't worry about
00:21:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay.
00:21:21
Zack
You think he's watched that performance and he's like, yeah, I want to play for that guy?
00:21:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay.
00:21:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I think Bill's going to get some guys. I think he might turn this thing around. I think we might have been a year early on our North Carolina bets and futures.
00:21:31
Zack
take right there. um I think he will not be the head coach of North Carolina Targets next season. so
00:21:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I think North Carolina will win the ACC next season.
00:21:38
Zack
He's one done.
00:21:42
Mason
Wow. We are so far apart. I think you all should make some type of bet.
00:21:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
With Bill Belichick as head coach.
00:21:48
Mason
Some type of interesting bet. A punishment. Some will say.
00:21:51
Zack
of
00:21:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'll think about it.
00:21:52
Zack
Well, we have two pretty steep different outcomes there.
00:21:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
but
00:21:56
Mason
That's what I'm saying. You all are so far apart.
00:21:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
there's And the exact middle can happen of Bill Belichick's there next year, but they're still bad again.
00:22:03
Zack
Throw like six and six and make a ball game. Yeah.
00:22:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:22:07
Zack
That's probably the most likely scenario.
00:22:07
Mason
That could also happen.
00:22:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They're playing the Tax Slayer Bowl in Jacksonville come one sunny January morning.
00:22:13
Zack
I don't... Yeah, that's probably true.
00:22:16
Zack
That's maybe worse than just like, whatever. Whatever. I don't unless there's something in the contract where he to coach a certain amount of years before his son gets be the head coach, which is what the whole thing was about, which could be true.
00:22:28
Zack
I don't I don't know the ins and outs of his contract there, but. It just seems like a pretty bad situation. I'm not sure why you'd want to go play for a 75 year old Bill Belichick at this point.
00:22:39
Zack
um He has all the juice in the world to pull recruits. You just feel like he he could have got some guys in here that can actually play my take.
00:22:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's true.
00:22:50
Zack
um So surprise, North Carolina is really, really bad football.
00:22:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, they don't have a guy who can throw.
00:22:57
Mason
Was that a surprise?
00:22:57
Zack
They made Clemson look good, which is hard to do this season. So.
00:23:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Listen, all I know is they cashed the over. We cashed the over.
00:23:06
Zack
We did. that You're right.
00:23:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
People were doubting. There were some doubters.
00:23:10
Zack
There were.
00:23:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
there are There were people really worried about it because I said I hated the bet. But those people shouldn't be worried.
00:23:18
Zack
We just can't have enough that. We've hit a three-leg parlay two weeks in a row.
00:23:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, it should be the only bet any of us take.
00:23:23
Zack
That's pretty good.
00:23:27
Zack
We'd be up. If I just put all my money on that one, we'd be doing good.
00:23:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, if if we just absolutely hammered it, because I've not hammered it
00:23:34
Zack
Yeah, except don't tell Mason, but I cashed it out at halftime. I didn't believe in Justin Fields.
00:23:39
Mason
Oh, no.
00:23:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We were...
00:23:43
Zack
Justin Fields looked horrible, Mason.
00:23:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
If...
00:23:45
Zack
What do you want me to do? i still got a nice cash out at the team.
00:23:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
If we're...
00:23:49
Mason
call Mr. Cash out. Dang it.
00:23:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
If we're in the trust tree, I went and tried to cash out and wouldn't let me. It was locked.
00:23:57
Mason
ended up pulling it. Why y'all...
00:23:59
Zack
He did, Mason. He looks so bad, though.
00:24:02
Mason
He did. i don't know.
00:24:02
Zack
Just the whole the whole team.
00:24:03
Mason
Something about my legs that I pick. It's like they just look horrible until the fourth quarter. That's
00:24:09
Zack
i know. I should have i shouldve trusted.
00:24:12
Mason
OK.
00:24:14
Zack
ah Okay. ah
00:24:15
Mason
Don't tell Mason, but even though he's.
00:24:17

Bengals' Quarterback Struggles
00:24:18
Zack
Mason, who's your ah surprise of the week?
00:24:18
Mason
Yes.
00:24:21
Mason
My surprise of the week, if you're just box score watching this game actually looks closer than it than it was. um And that would be the Lions and the Bengals.
00:24:32
Zack
Mm-hmm.
00:24:32
Mason
The final score was 37 to 24. However, going into the fourth porter The score was 28-3.
00:24:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I
00:24:39
Mason
I feel like the Lions did let off the gas a little bit, and that there were some garbage time touchdowns. You're probably like, well, what's what's that to do? if you're You're surprised of the week. I'm just surprised that they are still rolling out Jake Browning. Into the fourth quarter, what I talked about, he had zero touchdowns and three interceptions.
00:24:58
Mason
He ended up finishing with three touchdowns and three interceptions.
00:25:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
hate that dude.
00:25:01
Mason
Like I said, garbage touchdown. But I just don't understand why they don't try for, we brought this up in the past, but Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson. i mean, there should be any other options out there.
00:25:13
Mason
And they're going to continue. ah feel like they're just wasting away their season here. With the talent that they had, Jamar Chase did have two touchdowns, I believe. Once again, kind of the da ah the garbage time.
00:25:27
Mason
situation but i just don't understand why they're i'm just surprised with that yes tens
00:25:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
i So, I mean, there's a couple reasons. Their offensive line is really bad. um
00:25:38
Mason
it's not all on the quarterback i understand that i just feel like they're kind of giving up
00:25:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
most Most teams that – yeah, I feel like if – cause They are a team that should compete probably for a playoff position. The Ravens are in the tank right now. The Steelers are just, you know, I'm not buying a ton of stock in the Steelers and and the Browns are the Browns, but here's why the Bengals aren't going to do anything about it.
00:26:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Their owner paid out a ton of money to Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, and Tee Higgins and Trey Henderson this year. He's not going to go pay more money.
00:26:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
because they are the cheapest ownership in the NFL. <unk> They don't even have like their own practice facility for the longest time. They had to go share one with in high school whenever – like It's just they're bad.
00:26:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
their Their owner sucks. They have to like walk across the street to their new practice facility. They take school buses to the airport for games. Like it's just it's bad that he's not going to pay.
00:26:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He should. He should go get Jameis or Kirk Cousins or do something. But they're just not going to because they could take advantage of how I mean, they started out to know.
00:26:43
Mason
how bad this division is.
00:26:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, the division's bad. You start out 2-0. As soon as Joe Burrow gets hurt, you go trade for a Kirk Cousins or Jameis Winston or I don't know. There's there's other guys out there than Jake Browning.
00:26:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But they're not going to. They're going to end up with a top 10 pick. Zach Taylor probably get fired. Joe Brady will be the Bengals' new head coach. That's kind my prediction right now, which is not good. That's who you guys should have fired.
00:27:14
Mason
I don't know who I want.
00:27:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Well, probably going to keep Callahan and y'all keep winning games like this.
00:27:18
Mason
Stop that.
00:27:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I mean, that's crazy.
00:27:21
Zack
I love that.
00:27:22
Mason
what the? zach what the
00:27:23
Zack
well I cannot wait to win this division.
00:27:28
Zack
tens Jaguars kind of got the season backloaded with the Titans. so you know Enough time to get let the boys get right.
00:27:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Huh? What was... What? I let the Titans get back in the season?
00:27:43
Zack
The Jags don't play the Titans until a little bit later. they're back
00:27:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, yeah.
00:27:46
Zack
They're backloaded. I just said it.
00:27:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, we don't play another division game until November 30th.
00:27:51
Zack
ah So you you gave the Titans a lot of time to kind of get the get the pieces right.
00:27:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, okay. Yeah, um I'm a little bit more focused on the Colts.
00:27:56
Zack
Get Cam Ward going.
00:28:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um But yeah, sure, I'm thinking about the Titans.
00:28:02
Zack
That's okay. You can focus on whoever you want to focus on, Tintz. come in
00:28:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay.
00:28:07
Zack
I'm back on after that win. just need to win. I'm back.
00:28:11
Mason
That's all it took.
00:28:13
Zack
Uh...
00:28:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
it It took Cam Ward throwing an interception and then the defender fumbling it and then you guys recovering in the end zone for a touchdown to win the game.
00:28:20
Zack
Or fumbling on the one yard line and
00:28:22
Mason
Yes, the player dropping the ball before the one-yard line.
00:28:23
Zack
ah
00:28:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Right.
00:28:26
Zack
you just gotta get a little bit You gotta get a taste of hope winning And it's all it takes I didn't say it wasn't I said it was a win though It's a dub Counts the same Blowout wins And narrow wins that you don't really deserve Count the same One win
00:28:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's the flukiest win of all time.
00:28:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay.
00:28:37
Mason
True.
00:28:47
Zack
How many wins did the Jaguars get this week, Tins? Zero.
00:28:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We haven't played yet.
00:28:52
Mason
Wow.
00:28:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Let's not... but Let's not...
00:28:54
Mason
He's already speaking into existence.
00:28:57
Zack
I mean, if they have have they got a win yet?
00:28:59
Mason
you
00:28:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, they have not won yet.
00:29:00
Zack
Show me the win.
00:29:00
Mason
Zero.
00:29:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Alright. That's... You know what? That's fair. That's fair.
00:29:08
Mason
I want to apologize to anybody listening and they have this going on in their car and Zach raises his voice and literally is eating the microphone.
00:29:08
Zack
Okay. I
00:29:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I've...
00:29:13
Zack
um will not apologize.
00:29:20
Mason
For some reason, when he talks about the Titans, he needs to have the microphone in his mouth.
00:29:24
Zack
I didn't make sure Denz is listening to me. ah
00:29:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um I'm looking.
00:29:27
Mason
and Your whole car is rumbling because it's just zag getting this close to the microphone.
00:29:32
Zack
Listen.
00:29:35
Zack
Listen. Tired take.
00:29:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
o
00:29:39
Zack
Titans are tanking. Wire take. Division is in sight.
00:29:47
Mason
Love it.
00:29:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I now need to know the odds right now for the division. You should look that up real quick.
00:29:52
Zack
It's probably better than was last week when I took it.
00:29:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
There's no chance. There's no chance.
00:29:58
Mason
Is there a cash out option, Mr. Cash Out?
00:30:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um
00:30:01
Zack
If there was, take it already.
00:30:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
While he looks but he looked that up, my surprise of the week, um I'm going to go really bold here.
00:30:03
Mason
but
00:30:08
Zack
Okay.
00:30:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It was going to be Washington beating the Chargers. um Chargers kind of started the season really hot, winning in their first three games all in division, and they've kind of taken a little stumble here um the last two games, losing two in a row.
00:30:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But I'm actually going to change it from that, and I'm going to change this Bills-Patriots game because we're still in the first half, but I apologize for anyone who's watching this game.
00:30:28
Mason
Mmm.
00:30:30
Zack
Yeah, it's pretty gross.
00:30:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
i Every time I look down, there's a fumble. There's trash going on, bad football. The Bills are supposed to be this juggernaut of a team. I'm not worried about the Bills. They play no defense.
00:30:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
they're They're getting real lucky that the the Patriots have fumbled the ball three times tonight. um And your wideout looks terrible. You look like an off-brand Oregon fan. Ducks uniform right now.
00:30:53
Zack
Sad.
00:30:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
your last Your last Sunday night football game in in a historic stadium before you move to the new one and you you do this weird whiteout uniform that looks terrible and you're going to lose because of it.
00:31:07
Mason
Plus $25,000, by the way.
00:31:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Might wake up.
00:31:11
Mason
If you bet $10 on that, $2,500.
00:31:12
Zack
you at
00:31:13
Mason
What'd
00:31:15
Zack
Guess what I got it at.
00:31:18
Mason
why'd you get it at?
00:31:19
Zack
Oh, when where did I take this? Oh, it was two weeks ago.
00:31:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
the day after probably right when they drafted Kim Ward.
00:31:24
Zack
No.
00:31:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
oh
00:31:25
Zack
Why was it? When I took the division winner, they were only 16,000. They're so worse.
00:31:29
Mason
Because Colts won again. So you have to...
00:31:31
Zack
Oh, man.
00:31:32
Mason
it's It's not just the Titans.
00:31:32
Zack
oh
00:31:34
Mason
You have to and factor and other players.
00:31:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The Colts and Texans both beat AFC teams today as well.
00:31:38
Mason
Both won.
00:31:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That matters more towards like your – if we all ended – if all four teams ended up 9-8 somehow, then the next thing goes to conference or division play.
00:31:39
Mason
Yeah.
00:31:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So say we all tied that somehow too. So then it goes to conference wins.
00:31:54
Zack
I hear what you're saying, but it's double downtime.
00:31:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But you just don't care.
00:31:56
Zack
and um but I'm betting more.
00:31:57
Mason
Double down.
00:31:58
Zack
$1
00:31:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Bet more. Go for it.
00:32:01
Mason
ah Just take a dollar...
00:32:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Every bet that goes on a different team, it makes all the other teams' odds go up.
00:32:05
Zack
win $250. That's the easiest money ever made. that's the easiest money he ever made
00:32:08
Mason
Just take a dollar out of your pocket and light it on fire. I mean, you're doing the same thing. Just go grab a lighter right now and do that on the podcast. I'm sure it would be very entertaining.
00:32:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Make a clip.
00:32:19
Zack
made some nice money from a cash out this this afternoon, so I got somebody to spare.
00:32:23
Mason
I shout out.
00:32:25
Zack
Okay, last our last ah category here.
00:32:26
Mason
ah sure um
00:32:30
Zack
We have fraud of the week.
Vanderbilt vs. Alabama Outcome
00:32:33
Zack
And boy, where there are some frauds around the college football landscape. already already listed a couple of them, so I'm going to go with one that's near and dear to my heart.
00:32:42
Zack
um I'm not going to pick Penn State. Fraud for sure. I'm not going pit Texas. ah Neither of whom have won against Power 4 team this season so far.
00:32:54
Zack
um You know who I am going to pick? Your Vanderbilt Commodores.
00:32:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm going to
00:33:03
Zack
Mainly because they talk so much trash and they felt like they were just... They they really they really thought they were going to win this game. um They even went up early. They scored the first touchdown. Immediately I texted the boys and I said,
00:33:15
Zack
I'm putting a bet down on Bama. There's no way that Vandy pulls us off. We were right. We got money line at one point. um Bama was in the plus money. We bet them. ah They immediately went and scored in the next possession and all was good in the world.
00:33:32
Zack
Vanderbilt loses as they should because that is their place in this world. ah They had a nice little run. They're probably going to have a nice eight and four season, which is very good for Vanderbilt. Diego Pavia will, will move on and they will go back to three and nine next season.
Ravens Without Lamar Jackson
00:33:48
Zack
I hope they enjoyed their moment in the spotlight. Vanderbilt for out of the week.
00:33:55
Mason
Zach, a pretty good, sharp, better live betting. We talked about it before the podcast, but knows how to bet live games.
00:33:59
Zack
Thank you, Mason.
00:34:04
Mason
Tell you what.
00:34:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He does.
00:34:05
Zack
I just know a fraud when I see one and Vanderbilt is that.
00:34:11
Zack
Also Florida.
00:34:14
Zack
I bet on Texas to cover the spread at one point. it was getting absurd. Okay. Mason, Friday of the week.
00:34:22
Mason
My fraud of the week is... The Ravens when they don't have Lamar Jackson. I talked up the Ravens as a Super Bowl contender preseason and even talked about how well their defense is.
00:34:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They were one and three with him.
00:34:36
Mason
This is the defense that let the Texans of all teams, Tim's a huge lover of all things CJ Stroud and Texans. Just kidding. But they let them score 44 points to you at home.
00:34:50
Mason
Letting CJ Stroud dice you up, allowed him to just throw three touchdowns, and now they fall to one and four. ah Derek Henry had like 31 yards, and I don't know how they're just not letting him pulling a Titans and just letting him have like 20 carries during a game.
00:35:10
Mason
ah But yes, you got Cooper Rush in there, but this whole Ravens team as a whole, just not just quarterback, but defense... Offensive line, he can't do much. Just the whole team without Lamar Jackson.
00:35:27
Mason
Garbage. Frauds.
00:35:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
some Some people are saying that the the Lamar Jackson Ravens experience might be over. Might be time to hang it up. um They're washed.
00:35:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Let him walk. I think he's due for a new contract after maybe not this year, but maybe next. And John Harbaugh. Is he finally going to get fired? I mean, I think it might just be time for something new up there in Raven land.
00:35:55
Mason
i think I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or if you're just wanting them to dismantle it.
00:35:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm not. and i like I like when...
00:36:02
Mason
i think it' I think it's going to take one more than one bad season, and everybody's just going blame it on the Lamar injury, even if this is just a yeah literally done set over they only win like four games or something. and I don't know when Lamar Jackson's going to come back, but if they keep losing and it's already out of reach, which so far this division has not given any reason for it to be out of reach.
00:36:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:36:28
Mason
He could come back next week. I don't really know his timetable. Tense. I don't know if you've seen.
00:36:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They said it was going to be two weeks. um it was a very It was a minor hamstring.
00:36:35
Mason
Okay. Okay.
00:36:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But thing about hamstrings is they don't go away. they're just They always ah kind of linger. um
00:36:43
Mason
Regardless, this team might be cooked already just off of what I've seen today.
00:36:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. But I just don't trust the Steelers enough to do anything about it.
00:36:53
Mason
You're not wrong.
00:36:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's that's my only thing.
00:36:56
Mason
Yeah, and the Browns had a close ah close chance of winning, but that wouldn't have done much. If Joe Burrow is on that Bengals team and the Browns were not being the Browns, I would be a little more nervous, but we'll see what happens.
00:37:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
yep
00:37:12
Mason
But just without Lamar, embarrassing game today. Frauds.
00:37:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They are frauds. I like that one. i almost picked that one. um But I went to college. hadn't done any college yet today, i don't think. No, I did not. I was all up in the NFL.
00:37:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um So I went to college for my fraud of the week because, and I've been saying this for a while, and I backed off of it for a little bit, up but I should have stood my ground.
Arch Manning's Performance Expectations
00:37:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Arch Manning is the fraud, not of just this week, but maybe of the last decade.
00:37:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We were promised a college football phenom in Arch Manning, a guy who was going to translate to the greatest college football quarterback ever just because his last name was Manning.
00:37:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I saw the college or I saw the high school highlights and This kid, if his last name wasn't Manning, would three-star recruit trying to walk on at Texas Tech. probably would have tried to walk on at Texas ah or northern Texas, like a small school.
00:38:14
Mason
um
00:38:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's not that good. He's an okay athlete with a big arm. He's very inaccurate. He can't read defenses. And now he is getting to where he's super skittish in the pocket.
00:38:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He senses any pressure he wants to take off. This is not the makings of the next coming of Manning football. It's just not. So, fraud of the week, fraud of the season, fraud of the century.
00:38:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Arch Manning.
00:38:42
Mason
What fraud of the century? Wow. You heard it here first. I think it was just the overall hype of the last name and not being able to, you know, live up to those expectations.
00:38:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Live up to it.
00:38:57
Mason
um Crazy. I don't think we've ever seen any type of Heisman odds the way we saw ah where we had a the smallest sample size known to mankind and he was favorited going into the season.
00:39:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, going into the season, he was like plus 600 to win the Heisman.
00:39:15
Mason
and And I don't think we'll ever see anything like that again until maybe once again, another Manning comes, but exactly right.
00:39:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Peyton's kids are old enough.
00:39:26
Mason
But any type of NFL player that has that last name and they come in, I guess it makes sense to, but you're never going to see that small of a sample size ever again.
00:39:38
Mason
And they end up being the favorites. So,
00:39:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And this would be one thing if he was at a smaller school like, i don't know, like a Missouri, a South Carolina, you know even if he went to like a Big Ten school like Minnesota or...
00:39:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Rutgers, or you know, just like a school like that, maybe you could believe like, well, he is super talented, but he doesn't have the weapons around him. He's at Texas. He's at Texas. his His receivers are five stars. His running backs are five stars. All five of his offensive linemen are going to go play in the NFL. He has a first-round draft pick as his left tackle.
00:40:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You know, like, they're a loaded team. So there's I give him no excuses to look the way he's looked so far.
00:40:23
Mason
It's reported 5.5 to the estimate ah n ni money he made as of september of twenty twenty five
00:40:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, good good good for you there, Arch. I mean, you at least made a lot of money. But ah but that's he should probably just stay in college as long as he can because he's he's not going to be an NFL guy.
00:40:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But like I said, fraud of the week, fraud of the year, fraud of the century, Arch Manning.
00:40:56
Zack
You love to see it Couldn't happen to a better guy there ah Sorry, i was i had to step out for a few minutes My child was screaming a lot And so my assistance was required there But Arch Manning, I agree i think he's an excellent fraud of the year candidate ah I don't know if there's ever been a more hyped quarterback That has fallen so far below expectations
00:41:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I can't think of anybody either.
00:41:26
Zack
Maybe in the NFL, maybe there were some number one overall picks that kind of did, where they just couldn't make the jump to the NFL game.
00:41:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah.
00:41:33
Zack
I feel like that's it.
00:41:34
Mason
Jamarcus Wrestling.
00:41:35
Zack
Yeah, there's plenty of examples there. um But when it comes to college, and maybe like college anticipation, maybe Nico's up there too. i don't I mean, it's those guys who are like had the nuclear-type expectations and just never reached anywhere near it.
00:41:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:41:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
guys that came in their freshman year, like once once they committed to school, people were like, oh, he's going to change our program for forever. Like, I don't know. i can't think of any hype like that as far as college
Assessing Young Athletes' Potential
00:42:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
players have come along.
00:42:05
Zack
Yeah, and there's just, I mean, and talking about 18-year-olds like that is just hard because it's like, it's been kind of, it's it's went around the internet a lot about kind of digging up some of his high school tape against some less than stellar competition. There's so many factors in high school that it's just, if you're just bigger than everyone else you play and if you're playing against like, um we all know there's a difference between playing like 2A ball and playing 6A ball or whatever, and just there's some factors you can't really always control, so.
00:42:36
Zack
I will say yeah Peyton Manning was at his son's game. Well, his son's in eighth grade. So let's do some quick math there. 2032 tank.
00:42:50
Zack
Tank for Peyton's son.
00:42:50
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No way. He's in eighth right now, so that means he would be going.
00:42:54
Zack
Yeah, yeah.
00:42:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
yeah Yeah, actually, you're right at it.
00:43:00
Zack
2033 maybe. It depends on how long he spent in college. I feel pretty good about that. Thank for him. let's get Let's get it going. Titans.
00:43:08
Mason
we're already starting to now so just keep it going at this point um i was just gonna i and this is the super ah most super random fact but i would uh tinsley was talking about
00:43:18
Zack
Okay.
00:43:20
Mason
He should just play in college as long as he can. i was curious of who has played in college the most ever. Do y'all know?
00:43:28
Zack
i I mean, there's some guys playing right now who are on the list, like, Diego probably is close to that, I bet. um Hendon Hooker was pretty close to that, I think.
00:43:37
Mason
So this is list of games, not seasons.
00:43:40
Zack
Yeah, it's it's probably somebody in the in the COVID era because they get an extra season of eligibility.
00:43:45
Mason
Well, according to...
00:43:45
Zack
So it was recent.
00:43:46
Mason
I don't know how much we can trust ai because, you know, they're stuck at betting, but according to AI, this is Case Keenum with 66, but Dylan Gabriel with 63 games.
00:43:59
Mason
Pretty crazy stuff.
00:44:02
Zack
That's a lot of college football.
00:44:05
Mason
Okay.
00:44:05
Zack
I like 12 game seasons. That's like five full seasons, six, five and a half ah of like playing every game.
00:44:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yes.
00:44:15
Zack
Okay. While i while I have both of you here, I had an interesting question. This is a call. This is a NFL question. Since we're at the end And you can If you don't want to hear any Jags Titans talk You can log off now Just end the episode It's good you We're done Tens Would you rather the Jags go 13
00:44:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yes.
00:44:39
Zack
and 4 But two of those losses Are to the Titans Or Nine and nine and Eight But you would beat the Titans twice
00:44:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um For the 9-8, do we win the division?
00:44:58
Zack
ah Wild card swap.
00:45:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay. 13-4, you said. do we Are we the number one seed in the AFC?
00:45:04
Zack
Yeah.
00:45:07
Zack
ah Probably one or two. i don't know. It depends on how it...
00:45:10
Mason
Well, first round buy. Wow.
00:45:13
Zack
Yeah, I mean, I guess that ah probably...
00:45:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
i what It's got to be the one seed.
00:45:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, I would take...
00:45:19
Mason
Oh, he's negotiating with you.
00:45:22
Zack
just have your number, huh? Okay.
00:45:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's fine because I don't have leave in the playoffs because that happened in 99.
00:45:24
Zack
Okay.
00:45:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The Jaguars lost two games in the regular season. Both take but games, the Titans.
00:45:33
Zack
Yeah.
00:45:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Then we lost in the AFC Championship game against the Tennessee Titans.
00:45:36
Zack
Hmm.
00:45:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And you guys went to Super Bowl and lost by one yard.
00:45:41
Zack
Sounds like. What about her?
00:45:44
Mason
Mm.
00:45:44
Zack
At least we were there.
00:45:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But yeah.
00:45:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's true. That's true. Congrats. Should have been me
00:45:52
Zack
ah Okay.
00:45:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Should have been me.
00:45:54
Zack
Interesting. um
00:45:58
Zack
Yeah. I mean, there's a college version of that question too. It's like, It's the Ohio state question really from last year. It's like, would you either win the national championship or beat Michigan?
00:46:10
Zack
And think it's pretty split. Fair base. Some um some people would rather just be Michigan.
00:46:21
Zack
Which is still the funniest. I mean, that that game is still going to be one of the funnier. Just because Ohio State's whole season could be ruined because of Michigan, even if they're undefeated and seem unstoppable and just one game could just ruin it.
00:46:38
Zack
Okay. ah Sorry to derail that. Anybody else got anything? On your hearts, minds, souls, thoughts?
00:46:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Jags by three tomorrow in the rain. When you're listening to this, it'll be tonight.

00:47:20
Zack

00:47:28
Zack
We're excited. So stay with us right here. Tins has been popping off on socials. Mason, as always, is doing numbers on the internet with his outlandish takes.
