0:28I'm Victoria. for you today and talk about what we think of the season after week nine. We're about halfway through. So our opinions on what's going on. Okay. So you went to a game this weekend. I did. And I feel like I've been like a college football girl recently. So shout out to all the girls that watch college football. Still love the NFL, but college football is just so unpredictable. And like, there's so many teams and it's like one of the best sports to have like the Cinderella story and like you have like a team that nobody knows about and then all of a sudden they're like really good so of course being in texas i went to go see texas play vanderbilt two ranked teams really good game but it was like raining and halloween weekend in austin like is already pretty crazy it was raining so like i wasn't really feeling it but we finally got to our seats kickoff happens and i swear the clouds just like disappeared the sun shines down no it was like out of the movie.

1:27The sun shines down on Texas as they're running out on the field. And I looked to my boyfriend, I said, Texas is going to win this game. First play of the game, kick return touchdown. No, are you kidding? Literally not. Not kidding. Straight out of the fairytale. Like it was magic. And the rest of the game was awesome. It was like not really that close of a game as I was expecting it to be. Texas comes out on top, but just like the first five minutes of that atmosphere was just so electric. Texas fans are awesome. The stadium, the grounds is really, really cool. So it's a good game. Wow. Okay.

2:03Wait, who did they play again? Vanderbilt. Oh, yeah. Smart guys at Vanderbilt. Yeah. Two, two ranked teams and their quarterback, Dago Pavia. He's like kind of short, but he's kind of a dog. So he runs, he runs a lot. He's a really, he like rushes a lot of Russian touchdowns from him. Vanderbilt had a huge upset last season against Tennessee, which was a big game. And they're again, ranked this season. So they're pretty good. Okay. Okay. We love it. That's fun. Yeah. It sounds like a good game. I can't believe like the drama in the beginning of like the clouds clear and a punt return touchdown.

2:39Like that is a movie that's just fake. Right. Right. But I know you went to Bill's Mafia. I went to Bill's Mafia. I can't compare to anything. I cannot wait to hear about your experience. Okay. So we go to Buffalo. Our original tailgate plan did not end up working out, but JoJo, who created our Living in a Fantasy leaderboard is from Rochester. So she's like up north of the Bills. And I tell her like, I'm going to the Bills game. Do you want to go? and so we never met in real life and she's like I'll just meet you at your hotel and then and then we'll just go together which is just crazy that like I met someone in real life from the show and then we spent 12 hours together and she gets to my hotel I'm like having outfit panic and so I'm like just come up to my room and then I'm like I'm just telling this girl that I met on the internet and like we've talked on the phone like a lot and we like text often but it was so fun.

3:44We got along so well. And I was like, I'm going to be filming all day and like meeting girls. So like, if you don't want to do that, that's fine. Like you don't have to feel obligated to like hang out with me all day, but we ended up hanging out all day. I did a bunch of interviews with the girls and Bill's mafia is truly wild. There is nothing in the world like Bill's mafia. I went to Wegmans because everyone's like, you have to go to Wegmans. You have to go to Wegmans. And I was like, okay, great. So I go to Wegmans. It's like a grocery store. Wait, what's that? Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. It's like Vons or, yeah.

4:16And it's like a nicer grocery store, I would say like not quite like a whole foods, but it's like a nicer, like good quality grocery store. They have like a mall of Bill's gear and everyone in Buffalo, everywhere is in Bill's outfits all the time. Like it's not, it's not like a game day thing. Like everyone in Buffalo, like Buffalo is the Bills and the Bills are Buffalo and they're synonymous. So we leave for the game. We leave the hotel. I stayed in Niagara Falls. We leave the hotel at nine 15, get to the tailgate spot at like 10 35. There's no spots in the lot that we wanted to park. And so we just ended up parking this random guy's house because like people just rent out their, their houses.

5:01So there's this guy, Mike. Yeah. Who was across the street and you can look up like, shout out to Mike. Yeah. Shout out to Mike. We interviewed him. So his interview will come out on social soon, but you can go on Facebook and search like Mike's Mike on Josh Allen street and his parking lot. You pay like 50 bucks and you park at his house. So we parked across the street from him, but we interviewed him. So he was super cool. And he's like lived there forever. I also saw the new stadium. So also Highmark stadium is technically called Highmark stadium, but it's not actually. So if you go, you have to call it the Ralph, which I didn't know where it has another name.

5:37I forget what it is, but it's called the Ralph. So I'm sorry for anybody who I disrespected saying hi, Mark. And there's, I met Abigail Lee, who's like huge into, she creates like a lot of bills clothing for the girls. So I met her. She's amazing. Like great, super cool girl. She like creates gorgeous outfits for the girls. And then I also went to the lounge shop, which is another clothing shop that I got the sweatshirt that I ended up wearing and they were just the best. Like there is no better place for girls than like Buffalo. It's like for the girls. It's so fun. So it was great. And then we, Jojo knew somebody who worked on the fields.

6:15We got to like walk down to the field. We didn't get to go on it, but we get to like walk down just like to the side of the field before, like right when the chiefs ran out for warmups and one, the field seems so much smaller when you're on it or like when you're right there seems so much smaller than when you're like in the nosebleeds, which is usually where I am. and we saw Travis Kelsey, obviously, which was fun. And it was a great time. And the Bills ended up winning. Everyone was panicked because of the 13 second loss. So I'm thinking like the Bills are crushing it. Like if you guys watched the game, the Bills win 28 to 21.

6:52The Bills are leading the entire game. Like I'm seeing the Bills are crushing it. Like they didn't have like a perfect game, but like the game was pretty good. There was one turnover. It was a Bills interception, like pretty clean game, no major injuries. And so then we get to like, it's like 22 seconds left and the Chiefs have the ball and all the fans are freaking out. And I'm like, why is everyone freaking out? Like they have to record touchdown, which like they've only scored three the whole game. So it's not like it's that easy. Like we went three and out so many times, but the 13 second loss refers to the Buffalo Bills 2022 AFC divisional playoff game against the Chiefs where the Chiefs scored a game-tying field goal with 13 seconds left in regulation, and then they lose in overtime.

7:36A crazy game. So everyone was panicked. I was not panicked, but I pretended to be for the sake of Bill's Mafia. Josh Allen actually had a really good game. Like, his stat line, he was 23 of 26 completed passes. 23 of 26. That's, like, really good. And he threw for 273 passing yards and had one touchdown, but we also had two rushing touchdowns. So that's my quarterback in fantasy. Thank you very much. Oh, all right. Speaking of fantasy, I got cooked. If you're in our league and you saw me put no players in, blame Bill's Mafia. Don't blame me. Blame Bill's Mafia because I was preparing for a tailgate and trying to emotionally prepare for the cold of it.

8:25Also, if you're from California and you go up there and it's going to be 40 degrees. I had a long sleeve, the thickest sweatshirt I could buy at the store, jeans, thick socks, knee high boots. And then I brought in a scarf, hand warmers, and a straight up blanket. And you were still cold? And I felt pretty good. Oh, okay. I was going to be like, if you're still cold, I can't imagine going to like, as a Texas girl, I probably wouldn't survive. Like 40 degrees in Texas and 40 degrees in Buffalo is probably two different things. Yeah. Yeah. And like, so the Ralph, the stadium gets like pretty windy.

9:02Also, what's crazy is I walked in that stadium and I was like, this stadium, like they really do need an upgrade. But then the energy in there is so good that you can understand why they went so long without one. Yeah. It's like tradition. Yeah. It's like not about the actual stadium. It's about like the energy in there. And like the Bills fans just love it so much. I was sitting next to a woman. She's probably like in her 60s. She's like, I've been a fan for 35 years and we just love it. And Josh is our boy. Also crazy thing. Every single person that I asked, except one person said that Josh Allen was their favorite player.

9:38Wow. Men and women. Everyone was like, Josh Allen is my favorite. I know that we had people back when Josh Allen is my favorite, which I thought was crazy. That is crazy. Enough about that because I have to tell you. Oh gosh. whenever disclaimer whenever victoria has updates for me i literally like am on the edge of my seat because i know it's gonna be good okay do you want to guess i have ideas but now just tell me i in five hours i'm going to the airport to go to berlin wait like germany i'm going to the falcon game in berlin

10:25oh my gosh talk about FOMO oh my gosh that's so exciting I know because I was thinking about it and I was like what's the most girly pop thing that I could do right now and it's go to Europe to look cute and go shoe shopping and drink and hang out and have a great time and go to the game and go to the game oh so I have my Colts hat of course it's in my bag already I I was prepared for this. And you're going to see, oh my gosh. I'm going to see Carly. You're going to see Carly and you're going to see Sauce Gardner on the team for the first time. We'll get into trade. We're going to talk about all the trades in this episode, so don't worry.

11:08That's iconic. That's insane. So iconic. That's crazy. I know. I literally can't wait. I'm so excited. Didn't the Colts lose this past week too? The Colts did. They got their second loss this week, which I don't think anybody saw coming, but that's okay. They lost to the Steelers, 27-20. And I'm not going to lie, I didn't watch the full game. All I really know is that they lost because, again, I was being infiltrated by Bills Mafia. But they did lose to Daddy Rogers. The Steelers is interesting. Also, Daniel Jones kind of showed flashes of old Daniel Jones. He threw three interceptions. that's rough yeah yeah the Steelers defense was the Steelers defense they're like suspects but the Steelers defense on paper is really good but like sometimes they don't perform like they're really good and sometimes they do perform like they're really good yeah but it's crazy because the Steelers are like not doing bad right now like what's their record I mean they're first in the AFC North yeah they're 5-3 yeah so like not terrible they're not terrible like I would say they're doing fairly well compared to a lot of the rest of the league.

12:22I agree. They play the Chargers this weekend. So it'll be interesting game. That's going to be an interesting game. Yeah. That's going to be actually a really interesting game. And it's, it's at SoFi. So I love SoFi. I love SoFi. You have to like, tell me how the stadium is in Berlin. Cause one thing with the international games that I've always been curious about is like the atmosphere of the stadiums. And like when you watch these games, it feels very electric. But I feel like when you go overseas, like the fans and like the European like soccer, they're insane. And so I feel like that kind of like bleeds into like this football culture that's developing internationally.

13:02Yeah. So you have to tell me about the atmosphere of the stadium and everything. Yeah. So what I've seen from the like social media of it all is that people wear any team, any jersey you can wear to these games. Like it doesn't matter who's actually playing that a lot of people are just going for like the spectacle of it. So I'm kind of anticipating to see that I am going to bring my mics and my tripod to interview some of the women there, which I'm really excited about. But I, my, my assumption is that it's not going to be like actual like Colts versus Falcons fandoms. It's going to be Europe looking, trying to like see what's up and then like some Colts and Falcons fandom.

13:46If you're going DM me at Hey Victoria Henderson, let me know if you're going to the game. And if you want me to ask any questions to the Germans about, yeah, the people in Germany who are there for the game. I was on a podcast, like, I think it was like the week that we started this show. I was on this podcast, Mind the Snap with these guys from like London area. And so I'm hoping that they're going to go and then I'll get to meet up with them. If you are like European and you want like a European perspective, they have a show. Yeah. It's called Mind the Snap and they are a European perspective on American football, which is cool.

14:22Like also another kind of niche similar to us, but different. So I'm super curious to see if they're going to end up going there. Yeah, that's cool. That's like really cool. Yeah. Okay. Let's talk about the trip. My flight was$600 and I bought it less than 24 hours before. That's what's in... Okay, don't get me started on the travel industry because my mom works in it and I know too much about it. But literally, why is it cheaper to go round trip to Germany than it is to go to California? No, insane. Crazy. Anyways, I digress. Okay. So trades, since we just talked about it, Sauce Gardner went from the Jets to the Colts and Quinn and Williams went from the Jets to the Cowboys.

15:11So on the Colts side, the Colts, I heard someone say the Colts are in a win now scenario. And so I think that this was genius for the Colts. Like the Colts are already winning. They already have a playoff team. They're playing like a playoff team. They beat teams that, you know, like their schedule hasn't been the hardest schedule, but they're playing super well all season, minus the picks. But getting Sauce Gardner is, I feel like, huge. Even for a team that's doing well, to put him in on a team that is a well-oiled machine at the moment is only going to enhance their team. And he's on the younger end as well.

15:53He's 25 and a cornerback and now on the Colts. So I'm excited to see him play and see how he can kind of enhance their defense even more. Yeah. Talk about dog alert, like ring the bell. Sauce Gardner was the fourth overall pick in the 2022 draft. He was the fourth overall pick. And when you look at his like, I guess, history with the Jets, there has been like a little bit of like dissonance and conflict. because I just believe he truly did not want to be there. And people are saying like, he's washed, da-da-da-da. But when you have a player that doesn't want to play on a team, they're not going to play their best.

16:31He's been trying to get out of there for the longest. So of course he's not going to play. Like, in my opinion, he's not been playing like he normally should. So I'm excited to see him on the Colts defense and see the impact he's going to make. Being on a team that is riding the hot hand, that's one of the best teams in the NFL. This was literally the perfect scenario for him. Like you leave a team that's the worst in the NFL to go to a team that's the best in the NFL. So, and you're a really good player. So shout out to him. I'm excited to see him play and in an international game too at that.

17:03So I know how crazy is that? That man woke up or got a phone call and he says, Hey, we're trading you, which seemingly you probably want. Like most people probably want to leave the jets at this point. We're trading you. You're going to the best team in the league. Also the hottest, most up and coming team in the league. And by the way, you're going international. Excuse me? Yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy. He definitely got a lot. But the Jets, I will say, the Jets, between all of their trades, they got a lot out of their trades. They have two first rounds and two second round picks in 2026. And then in 2027, they have three or two first round picks.

17:54So they're going to get a lot of talent from these trades. And I'm hoping it works out for Aaron Glenn and this team. Everybody, fun fact about the Jets, everyone hates the GM right now. And I actually just saw something before we hopped on to record that the Jets raised their season ticket prices for 2026. days before trading Sauce and Quinian Williams. So they raise prices. And then two of arguably your best players get traded off this team. And so now people, Jets fans, are like sitting here with expensive season tickets without a team, essentially. So if you're one of those season ticket holders, I hope you got a refund.

18:42Because it's going to take a while for this Jets team to be good again. But yeah, I do. I was thinking over the weekend, like, do we think that Aaron Glenn is calling Dan Campbell and they're like chatting behind the scenes like as friends? Because Aaron Glenn was a big part of the Lions rebuild. Yeah. And so I'm wondering if he's like calling Dan, like, how did you get through it as the head coach? Because this feels like trash. Yeah. It's like, it's like a crappy feeling. And like when everyone's calling for your head and it's your first season coaching this team, like it's not Aaron's fault.

19:22Like I can, there is there always room for improvement? Yes, of course. But Aaron, I think if there's one man to change this team around, I believe in Aaron Glenn. I have hope in the man. Yeah, I just do. I, and I feel like, do you feel like people have been coming for Aaron Glenn's head? because I haven't really seen anything negative about Aaron Glenn. I've only seen negative stuff about Woody Johnson, the owner. Oh, yeah. No, I feel like Woody has gotten more of the heat for sure. But I feel like it just comes with the territory. Like when your team's doing bad, everyone's always going to look at the coach.

19:59Everyone's going to look at the coach, the quarterback, and the owner and the GM. So even though it might not be as much, but I feel like Aaron Glenn's name is always going to be thrown around until the franchise is good. But I do think, I think Woody needs to be out of there. Yeah, I agree. Also with the Sauce Gardner trade, he became the highest paid cornerback in NFL history in July of this year. Yeah. His extension was worth$120 million. And then they said, you got to go. Bye. Well, because he didn't want to be there anymore. If Sauce actually was playing like himself and like wanted to be there, the Jets would have probably definitely kept him.

20:38But when you have a player that just doesn't want to be a part of the franchise anymore, like cut your losses. He's not going to do anything good for you. Right. And if you look at his stats year over year, his best year was 2022, his draft year. And then went down a little bit in 2023, down a little bit 2024. 2025 is actually on like a decent, I'd say like decent track to match last year's stats, but it's not anything like fabulous. But I also feel like if you're on a downhill trajectory, like it was his time to go somewhere else to play at his full capacity. Otherwise, his like quality of playership is going to start being questioned if he doesn't if he didn't get moved soon.

21:19Exactly. That's why people were already questioning. Like, is he washed? Like you're drafted in 2022. You're still young, but like you're not playing like it. So, yeah, we'll see. We'll see. So Quinnen Williams went from the Jets to your Cowboys. Oh, yeah. I'm excited about this one. I'm not going to lie. I think that this is a Band-Aid backfill because I think that the Micah Parsons trade was a mistake. And I think that now they're trying to put a Band-Aid on losing Micah Parsons. because the Cowboys can't stop anyone. Like the Cowboys defense is struggling big time right now. Yeah, the fact that we just lost to Jacoby Bursette and the Arizona Cardinals on Monday Night Football is just terrible.

22:10Anyways. After Pushgate of the Cardinals head coach, I literally hate the Cardinals. I'm sorry if you're a Cardinals fan. That was an ick for me and you're out. I love Pushgate. That's hilarious. yeah so i'm like i wanted the cowboys to win also i'm going to be at multiple cowboys games coming up yeah i'm gonna be victorious coming to the big d the girls are gonna run the city it's gonna be so exciting but i really thought the cowboys had that one i thought they were gonna win so to get the score run up on them like not really but wasn't great no it wasn't great at half anyways i can't i can't talk about that game but the trade the band-aid thing for micah so being in dallas it's kind of like an interesting i feel like dallas fans in general dallas sports fans in general are a little bit more susceptible to like bad things happening to our teams because like we had our best player on the mavericks our basketball team get traded away one of the best players in the league it turned away last year and like everyone was in mourning and then obviously we have Micah get turned away from the Cowboys.

23:20I'm a big believer in like, if something's working, if something's not working in a pattern, there has to be a change. Yeah. I do think something wasn't working with Micah on the Cowboys and there had to be a change. And Jerry, again, he's done this before in previous seasons where he does a really big move and then it somehow works out because we get players out of it. I'm not saying it's going to work out in this situation, but I'm holding out hope that the players we got and Williams and I think we got what is this like Logan Logan something helping our defense and we also traded away Mozzie Smith who nobody likes in the Cowboys that was let me not be super harsh but there's a reason why our run stopping the run was so difficult for us last year and Mozzie Smith was a big contributor into that so nobody really likes Mozzie Smith he's gone now which is good and I I think we have new fresh blood.

24:19Hopefully it'll help this team. So I'm excited. I'm excited. You also got a linebacker, Logan Wilson from the Bengals. Yes. And he's, he's not bad either. So. Yeah. He's 29, six years of experience. Linebacker. He looks like a nice guy. He looks like a guy who would show up in a button down for your first date. Yeah. Quentin Williams, just like a big, like he's, I'm hoping he's like a brick wall on our defense. Like we need that kind of mentality on that defensive line. So I feel like he's, there's a lot of pressure on him immediately. Like the second he got that call, he's like, Oh, I'm here to step into some shoes, you know, like obviously he's not like the replacement for Micah Parsons, but he is expected to, yeah.

25:09Like create a brick wall out of what feels like to me, like 1800 year old bricks. Yeah. And it is officially reported that he will start against the Raiders on Monday Night Football for the Cowboys. So back-to-back Monday Night Football is for us. I haven't heard anything about Wilson. I expect him to start, too. But I don't know. It's just, like, it's interesting. And I like when there's fresh blood on the team. It's like, ooh, what are you going to do? It's so crazy to me, though, because, like, can you imagine you just get a phone call and then you just move? Like if you have a family, your whole family's moving, you're moving and then you show up and then you have to just understand everything that's going on on that team within a week and then be expected to play like as a team player.

25:59Yeah. Like to put it in perspective, you get a new job in the corporate America and you have like a month long onboarding to be told how to fucking use the internet. Right. And you get like relocation assistance and all that. yeah and then like you're an NFL player and you're expected to just go like know where to be and know how the rest of the team works with one week of practice like I know that these guys are so smart right and so aware and to get the to get to the level that they're playing at you have to be able to read what's going on on the field and understand what your position is and where you're supposed to be and it's on you to like watch tape and understand and ask questions but I don't know.

26:42Like what if you're a slow burn? Not going to cut it. You can't be. I feel like like it forces you. You have to be a love bomber to be able to be successful. Well, that's why Joe Flacco was so impressive walking into that team. Like. Yeah. With no practice and then going and winning football games. Like it's crazy. Yep. Okay. Other notable trades, Jacoby Myers from the Raiders over to the Jags. yeah I mean the Jags need help they have Travis Hunter on IR which Travis Hunter was an amazing player coming out of college he plays defensive and offensive side of the ball he got placed on IR out of like nowhere kind of last week and I think the injury is pretty serious if they're going out for a receiver help so yeah yeah so wide receiver going over to the Jags who are also five and three So I don't think we saw the Jags coming.

27:41And I think this is only going to benefit them. I mean, their record is decent. Yeah. Still can't get over that game where they beat the Chiefs. I mean, should we talk about the Chiefs? Let's talk about it. Just in general. Okay, first of all, Travis Kelsey has an injury. We're not sure what it is. But he went down in the game that I was at. went down, stayed down for like a second longer than you would normally see him stay down for. And then he got walked off the field by like four staff before halftime started. So we're watching him walk off and we're like, why is Travis walking off before everyone else?

28:24And he was, he was singing and smiling. And I was like, this is a front because what is going on this is it was just like weird behavior yeah and i know he's like a singing guy but like i thought it was a front and then someone on their podcast new heights mentioned like somebody did like a re a recap of it saying that travis mentioned his injury by accident to jason on the show so i didn't listen to the whole thing i don't know like what the injury is it seems to be like something in his ribs so it could be like a bone bruise or something like that but that's speculation. I, there's nothing reported, but I mean, the chiefs did lose to the bills this weekend.

29:09I do think though, the chiefs are still going to make the playoffs. There's a lot of stuff coming out saying the chiefs are no longer in the running for the playoffs, but I think the chiefs are the chiefs. And I think that they're going to pull it out because that's what they're best at. Yeah. I saw something. It was like, if the season ended today, the chiefs would miss the playoffs. Yeah. Which obviously when you look at the history of the, the season for the Chiefs this year, it's, you know, they've had injuries. They just got their team back fully with Rasheed and all the players. So I don't know.

29:38Like, it's hard for me to sit here and say the Chiefs are going to miss the playoffs because they haven't missed the playoffs since like, I think like 2015. Like it's actually insane. Yeah. Yeah. So I don't think they're going to miss the playoffs, but what is going on over there? You lose to the Jags, like losing to the Bills. That's like a huge rivalry. Yeah. And a huge game. And like Josh Allen versus Mahomes, It was a huge storyline. You know, a lot of also like social pressure with Haley and Taylor and, and, and, and, and, and. But they still lost. Lots of things. Lost. So, and they didn't do anything.

30:17I'm actually surprised that we didn't see, I mean, do we see any trades from them at all? No, I feel like those teams like that, like they don't need to, I feel like the teams that you see trading players are the teams that need help, which is why I'm surprised the Dolphins didn't trade more. Like a Bradley Chubb, Jalen Waddell, a lot of players on the Dolphins team I was expected to see get traded, but they didn't. So curious to see what the Dolphins are going to do. Yeah, but then we see that, but then we do see, I mean, the Colts made a trade and the Eagles got, I don't know how to pronounce his first name, but Jay Phillips, linebacker, and they got Jaheir Alexander.

31:01I did see a TikTok about, I don't know who traded, was it the Dolphins that traded to the Eagles? So the Ravens traded Jaheir Alexander and the Dolphins traded Jillian Phillips. Yeah, so I saw this TikTok and it was talking about how that was a mistake because both of those players are really good defensive players and giving him to like Super Bowl caliber team in the Eagles is suspect. So I don't know, we'll see. I feel like every single like ESPN always has something to say about trade grades. Like I'm giving this A minus and like the Cowboys get a F da da da da. And I'm like, how can you really know?

31:41Cause like there's so many outlying factors with these players around like their old team and walking into a new system. So like you don't know how they're going to perform. Give them two weeks and then give me a trade grade. like that's how I feel about it. Yeah like let them play two to three games. Yeah because like you can't speculate and like that's literally the business that we live in like everyone wants to predict everything but you can't. That is one thing that I like have beef with with like the NFL fans is like they're so people get so hasty. So and I'm like this is crazy like there was a guy behind me at the game and he kept saying he's like this this play right here this is the game and if you're listening to this, I mean this with love because the guys behind me were actually super cool.

32:25They were all like golf pros who were living in Buffalo for like the summer. And then they're all going to different places. Yeah. They like a golf pro is like someone who runs a golf club, not necessarily like a PGA player, but the guy kept saying like this play right here, this is the game boys. This is the game boys. And then that play like comes and goes. And then another play comes around. He's like this play, the most important play of the game. And so at one point I go, this one? Are you sure? And he's like, you're on to me. And I was like, listen, man, like live your life. I just thought it was funny.

32:57I kept picking up on it. But I do think that like the analysts and stat guys and wannabe stat guys are like, talk about implications so quickly before you even see it happening, which I guess is similar to like a dating app. Like you're anticipating what this person's going to be like and how it's going to work out before you even like can like feel them right like feel the energy no it's kind of that's i love your comparisons you're just always so spot on but low-key i also feel like it's like the tonality of how they compare things to because when you look at like esp analyst they're like oh josh allen's gonna win the mvp based off x y and z and that's why he's to win the MVP instead of saying, I think Josh Allen could win the MVP because of X, Y, and Z.

33:46And that makes him a valuable candidate to be, you know, it's just like the way you say things. Right. It's like speaking in the definitive versus speaking in opinion. Exactly. But then it's like, and then they like, don't recognize that it's like their opinion. They're like, look at the stats. I'm like, I am looking at the stats. That's my least favorite comeback of anybody in the sports world. They say, look at the stats. And I'm like, I am. What are you looking at? Nothing, obviously. Obviously. No, but that's exactly why people get into debates. Because, you know, it's really your opinion.

34:23And you get passionate about it. Which, hey, we love to see. Which is what makes the NFL great is the passion. For sure. And we all love to. I mean, we're freaking talking about it. film there's that literally is there any more trades that's like worth mentioning i'm obviously like there's a lot of trades that happen i actually was looking at adam sheffner and he was going crazy and he said there were eight trades today tied for the second most on any deadline day going back to 1990. There were 10 trades on November 1st in 2022. Wow. So kind of a historic day. We did see a lot of trades. I was actually pleasantly surprised.

35:10Yeah. Yeah. I think when I was listening, I was listening to like different show and they said it's like the win now versus win later mindset. And I really like loved just that idea. I'd never really considered that before in the trade. But I think middle of the season trade is such an opportunity that more teams should take advantage of. Yeah. And I just love the idea of like GMs calling GMs and like, like the owners, like they're in like the, the, the debate room and they're like calling somebody in Buffalo or calling somebody in New York and trying to figure out like, Hey, so what, what do you really want?

35:46Wow. How can we really get? Yeah. I know. I was thinking, I was thinking like, I think the jets or somebody got like a seven, maybe it was the Cowboys. I don't know. Somebody got like a seventh round pick for as like part of their trade. And I'm like, is somebody in a different office just being like, yeah, just take our seventh round. We don't care. Just throw it in there. You know, like somebody's at dinner with their wife and they're like, just throw in the seventh round. We don't care. Like whatever. Yeah. Like just get it over with, get it done. Yeah. Yeah. Like whatever you need, anything, anything after the fifth round, I don't care.

36:15Literally, which I will say to answer my own question that I asked Rashid Shahid. yeah he was on the saints that now is on the seahawks i picked up sam darnold and my other fantasy league and he absolutely went off i think the man had like four touchdowns passing touchdowns so this high-flying offense i believe cooper cup is like hurt not sure at a pun no I can't either if it sounded like one. Is that a pun? But I don't know. I feel like this trade is interesting and I'm excited to see because he's a good receiver. He was just on the Aims. I had him on my winning fantasy team last season or the season before.

37:09But he's a dog in fantasy. Yeah. He's great in fantasy. And I think he's just a great player overall. But I think that he's going to do some great things with a better team than the Raiders. Yeah, it was just like, bad, bad situation for him. But he's in a better situation now. Good quarterback. We'll see. Yeah, we'll see. We'll see how he does. That's interesting. Okay. So, speaking of owners, I really need to get a better trade. I always say speaking of. Cardi B and the Patriots owner at the game. Cardi B is so iconic in every way. She was on Call Her Daddy wearing a Diggs jersey a couple of weeks ago, which I thought was really cute of her.

37:56And then there she is with the owner of the Patriots. They're like waving on the screen. They're hanging out. And I think that it just reminds me that like all people are people and all people think cardi b is cool like regardless of like who you are like it's cool to hang out with cardi b it's cool to hang out with taylor swift like and the patriots owner is just a guy no this was so funny to me because you you take like a traditional like old white man robert craft yep and put him next to cardi b for an entire football game big convert oh to be a fly on the wall oh my gosh the conversations i can only imagine that they were having mind you her outfit was amazing stunning it was like burgundy like long like snake skin like coat with the matching boots and i was like okay first of all eat down there has been like some interesting rumors that like stefan got another girl pregnant oh god and it's like she's having twins no yes but cardi b was like i don't care she's like who's at the game um so there is that rumor but i that was an iconic moment and then i also saw videos of them on the field like after and it's always been interesting to see like the dynamic between them two and like they're kind of cute together like they're kind of shy around each other and like messing with each other and this girl was like asking cardi b questions and the way he stefan was just like looking at her as he she was asking the answering the questions and stuff i thought it was cute i thought it was cute too yeah she did like when she was on camera she did his like little hand bopping celebration which was cute yeah yeah apparently they recently did a reveal that it's a boy.

39:52He's going to be a dog. He has Trayvon Trayvon Diggs as an uncle, Stefan Diggs as a dad, and Cardi B as a mom. Insane. Like, that's insane. Stefan Diggs currently has four kids on the way with four different women. Giselle? Wait, Giselle? Isn't Giselle Tom Brady's? Yeah, it's probably a different Giselle, though. There's no way. you are right though that'd be wild hold on one second did we just uncover something that is yeah what did we just uncover okay well he has apparently three to four children unsure but also what what alexandra if you guys haven't listened to our interview with alexandra francisco she's a reporter journalist multimedia girl for the patriots she said that she like loves the way that Robert Kraft runs the franchise.

40:51She loves the like ownership team. She's really proud to like work there and be a part of it. And just knowing what she said about him and about the way that they like run everything there. It's not surprising that Robert Kraft and Cardi B could have a really good time together because he seems very open-minded and positive and like a great person overall. Yeah, literally. It's just like so iconic. so iconic. So not a record for number of kids, but a record for field goal history. Cam Little on the Jags, 68-yard field goal, which I think that he had also done something similar in the preseason.

41:35Yeah, he did. I think in the preseason, I'm not sure. 72, wasn't it? Yeah, no, I think this one was shorter than the one he did in the preseason, but he still broke history and like Brandon Aubrey, I'm waiting for your response. Brandon Aubrey is the kicker on the Cowboys and I'm obsessed with him. He's like my favorite person. He's from the city. He actually was a soccer player before he came to the NFL. So I just love him. And he's like one of the best kickers in the league. So waiting for Brandon Aubrey to respond. You're like, I'm being patient. So I don't want this new kid on the block come in and like dethrone you.

42:13Oh, get it out of here. I didn't even, it didn't even click to me until like halfway through the game that I was watching Matt Prater in real life. Oh my gosh. Yeah. And then I was like, I love him.

42:32Shout out to Matt Prater, man. Oh my goodness. That's so funny. He did miss a field goal, which was so disappointing. So disappointing. What is it called? It's not a pylon. The goal, the goalpost. Like the post. Yeah. Yeah, but it hit the bottom one. And so it was like perfectly center, hit the bottom one, bounced off. Doink. Yeah, it was a doink. It was terrible. A doink. Yikes. Still won, but that was disappointing. But it was cool to see him live in action. Do you want to know what was disappointing for me watching this week in NFL football? Tell me. Jane Daniels' arm snapping backwards. I didn't watch it.

43:12I, we're at the point in the season where I start to question why I watch football, to be honest. It was bad. Because I'm like, all of the injuries, like, I've seen a dislocated elbow. It was bad. I've seen a dislocated ankle. Like, I was a gymnast. Like, I've seen some, oh my God, some bad shit. And at this point, like, all of the injuries also have, like, really key players, like, get me every season at some point where, like, it starts to, like, feel sad and, like, I don't like it. They're taking out like my favorite players. Cam Scatterby last weekend, Jaden Daniels, Natlin, like low key. I think Jaden's injury watching was worse than Cam's.

43:54I'm thinking about it. I'm not going to watch it. I'm probably going to watch it. No, you don't. It's bad. Like it was bad. But I will say he's a dog. He got up. He got up and walked up the field by himself. Not by himself. He had help, obviously. But he did not get cut off. He walked off. And his arm was just dangling? They put it in a... I know, but when he walked off? No, but they already put it in a cast as he was walking off. Okay, okay. I had my elbow pop in and out once. So I basically went from like 10 feet. If you do gymnastics at all and you know what a toe hect is, basically you put your feet on the low bar, you put them to the sky and then you turn your body over so you catch the high bar parallel to the ground.

44:36And I was doing that. And so you're about like, I don't know, eight, 10 feet in the air. And I came down, I went into a pushup position and my elbow popped in and out and it like blew up immediately. But I drove myself to the hospital and I was like 17 because that's like your elbow, like it hurts. But like once it's stabilized, like the whole rest of your body still works and they just like put it, you just like press it to your body. So obviously it hurts really bad and his was like really fucked up, but they probably popped it back in. I don't know. Okay. But yeah, I think it's the point of the season, like Cam's injury, that injury, even knowing that Travis has something going on.

45:16There's been a couple other really bad ones this year. I think like being a Lions fan, I'm still scarred from Aiden last year. Yeah. Like it's just, I feel like now I'm like on the edge of my seat whenever a new week of football starts. Cause I'm like, who's going to get injured this week in a bad way. And I hate saying that because it's just like the nature of the game. And that's why you really have to look at these players as like humans and they literally put their bodies on the line like Tua like his brain is mush and he has eye problems now wait we need to talk about this Tua like can't see there was something that came out where like he was working through I don't know if it was an injury but it was something with his eyesight and I'm like all right guys all right we We got to give it up.

46:03You've had 18 million concussions and now your eyesight is affected? Probably from the concussions. No, yeah. Like I have friends who've gotten like ocular migraines and stuff. I can't. I can't. He literally does not need to play football anymore. And I love the guy. I love him. But he does not need to play football. His family is really cute. Like his wife is super cute. I want to interview her. to his wife yeah let's talk about your husband's decision on continuously being a football quarterback and also might be getting benched no i'm not gonna ask her that but chat daniel's you just keep being saying his brain's like mush he's gonna be like i'm not coming on your show yeah facts i can just stop saying that but like i still love him that's okay we want to be honest on this show we want to tell you how we really feel and that's how you really feel yeah i still love him no hate but yeah wishing Jane Daniels a speedy recovery I know his mom is quaking in her boots right now too so oh my gosh yeah so not a physical injury but an emotional injury Jackson Dart looking visibly shaken after the Giants loss over the weekend it's tough when you see him looking sad man it's tough and he's young thinking about him and Justin Fields both crying is really too much for me.

47:26Like, I want them to be able to let their emotions out and to, like, feel them and work through them. But it does make me quite sad, I gotta say. Yeah. And, like, I feel like that's actually an interesting comparison to bring up because both of them, I feel like, hold so much pressure and so much weight on their back. And honestly, I'm still holding out for Justin Fields. I know he's been playing trash. Yeah. But he turned it around and got the Jets the first win after he had a really bad week and after his owner talking trash about him in the media. So both of these guys, I think pressure is going to make diamonds out of them.

48:06And I'm excited to see what they do. And I bet Aaron Glenn and Justin Fields are having conversations where Aaron Glenn is like, I know that this is trash. I've been here before. This is trash. Like, let's not let's call a spade a spade and just say this is fucking horrible and you don't have anybody to throw to. and we just got rid of two defenders that are going to help us, you know, at least try to stop someone. But I'm sure that they're having conversations of like, we got to just get through this. Like, this is just a get-through-it situation. I'm in it with you. Like, I can see Aaron Glenn, like, kind of scooping him up as like a father figure.

48:40Yeah. With, yeah, everything going on. It's kind of funny about the Jets because they've always been trash. Like, they've always been. I literally was watching a 30 for 30 last night about Peyton Manning and like the Heisman race. Whenever Peyton Manning came out of college, he actually stayed at Tennessee a year longer. If you don't know who Peyton Manning is, he's like one of the best quarterbacks. His brother also played. His family played a lot. His nephew, I believe, is Arch Manning, who plays for Texas now. Scoreback for Texas. But Peyton Manning literally could have got drafted to the Jets, but decided to stay in college one more year because he didn't want to go to the Jets.

49:19Essentially. That's crazy. Jets have always been kind of trashed. Jets is rough. Also, how do you call yourself the New York Jets if you're in Jersey? That shit drives me insane. The New Jersey Jets. That's kind of cool. Jersey Jets. Just call it what it is. You're in Jersey. That's where your stadium is. Jersey Jets. I recently learned that the Giants used to play at Jets Stadium and then Giants got their new stadium and now the Jets are in Giants' old stadium. And that's what stadium was. Interesting. Yeah. But the San Francisco 49ers were the team that beat the Giants. And I think even with Jackson Dart, even if Cam Scadaboo was there, I think that would have been a good game and kind of a shootout either way.

50:00So I think like Jackson Dart being sad makes sense because he came out so hot with his buddy and it was this big, dramatic, oh my God, the Giants are going to make the playoffs. speaking of our like you know putting the cart before the horse like we were talking about before so i think it's like reasonable for him to go from that like super high high and that expectation that he probably also put on himself to then like losing but i don't think that them losing to the 49ers was like a tragedy i think the 49ers are a really good team the 49ers are probably the most resilient team in the league at this point um yeah and i don't think that it's a shock that the 49ers beat the Giants, even if Jackson Dart had had his best day.

50:42I think that the 49ers still could have pulled it out. Yeah. And they still, the Giants put up 24 points. Yeah. I think the final score was like 34-24, but still put up points, so. Yeah. Yeah. Should we do top five? Yeah, we should. Top five this week is our top five Halloween costumes, and I will say, yes, I was Cam Scadabee for Halloween. Do you have I'm so impressed with you and your boyfriend. And that was so funny. That's so iconic. We should have made more videos, but... Yeah, you know, it'd be like that. Yes, me and my boyfriend were Kim Scatterboom and Jackson Dart for Halloween. So we were walking down in Austin.

51:29And I was actually surprised of how many people... Mind you, these were like the most ghetto costumes. Literally, we went to like Academy and bought like youth jerseys. And then I got tape and quite literally DIY with tape, taping like the, the NY and like the number and like spelling out the letters on the back. Did they fall off the entire night? Yes. It wasn't successful, but it was cute. People got it. Yep. They did. Yeah. Oh my God. That's awesome. Okay. Top five. I'm going to start with my least favorite one. Something about Cameron Dicker. I don't know. I'm sure that we would be friends in real life, but something about him online just makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

52:17This was your least favorite one? Okay. I loved his costume. I just like something about him actually being Ace Ventura. Just isn't for me. Dicker. The kicker. I don't know. I'm not into it. I'm not into it. I don't know. quite literally stopped in my tracks whenever I was scrolling on TikTok. And I see this man singing the best of both worlds from Hannah Montana. You know what? He missed a big opportunity, actually. Why? He could have been the girl with the gap in her teeth from White Lotus. Because he didn't miss a big opportunity there. That's so prime, prime time. But he was Hannah Montana.

53:04So he was Miley. and then he was Hannah. And I'm obsessed with Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus. So incredible costume, great execution, very funny, creative. I do love that for him and for us, for the socials. But I do think that he would have looked better as Ace Ventura pet perspective for the girl from White Lotus. But you know what? White Lotus. Kim, next year. There you go. Your ideas are locked and loaded for you. There you go. Then, Miles Garrett. This was funny to me because at first I saw, and they're like, oh, he's the Grim Reaper. But he turns around on his cape. He had all of the players, all of the quarterbacks that he's ever sacked.

53:53And I was like, okay, like, that's just iconic. It's iconic. Yeah, the Eagles at their party, they also had RIP sign. And I'm pretty sure it was every team that they've beat so far this season. Oh my gosh. There was also a ton online of like people's houses. And one person had like the 49ers skeletons, but it was all of the injuries, all of the players like skeletons in the line. I saw some like, you know, anti-cowboys ones. I saw some, you know, like just very funny stuff online that I was like, I thank you for this content because I don't love Halloween. And I was actually traveling to Buffalo on Halloween.

54:30I was going to leave on the first, but I decided to go on the 31st to like just settle in and get prepped for the tailgate and stuff. I just didn't know what I was getting into. And I'm really glad that I did that. But I did like miss Halloween, which for me, not a problem because Halloween makes me anxious. So thank you for the content. That was enough participation for me. For me. Maybe one day I'll, maybe if I have like money that I don't care about to invest in a really great costume, I would like it better, but I just feel like there's too much pressure. like if you're a girl like if you're slutty then oh you're being slutty or if you're funny and people don't get it they're like what are you and then you have to explain what you are all night like you owe somebody something and so you're like funny but not too funny and or like not too niche because if you're too niche then people don't get it but then if you're slutty then people are like oh my god you're being so sunny and then and then if you just have like an average costume costume people are like okay you're a bumblebee victoria's got a rocks off by the way about halloween And yeah, no, I am at the age where like, I'm coming out of like, we always have to do something for Halloween.

55:37And I'm like, I don't care anymore. And I also like, don't want to, I don't want to look cute on Halloween anymore. Like I like looking cute-ish, but like the costumes of like, where we're like Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, those days are over. I feel like I could make a come around. I do like a house party on Halloween. You will not catch me at a bar at Halloween. I'm not going outside with all these freaking weirdos who have never left their house in a mask. I don't want you. Get away from me. I hate it. Stop wearing masks, okay? Let's just start there. If you're grown and you never leave your house, don't come out with the mask on.

56:11That's weird. So I hate a mask, hate a bar. House party, I'm into. So could I have a resurgence for Halloween? Maybe. Especially because I have my costume that I was going to wear this year that I'm going to wear now next year that I've been wanting to wear for years and years, but I'm not going to tell you what it is. Yeah, you can't. you have to tell you but and i'm not telling the world

56:34anyways next costume jameer gibbs and his girlfriend yep so he's a kind of iconic a boxer and what was his girlfriend jameer was like jeff hardy and like i don't know what she was but they got two costumes they did like this jeff hardy thing which i don't really know who jeff hardy is i'm i think he's like like you said like a wwe like boxer or something like that But they also did Avatar. I didn't see that one. And their Avatar costume was so good. Like really good. She is stunning. He looked really good too. And they went like full Avatar, like body painted, the things. Yeah, it was really good.

57:20I love it. So Jeff Hardy is a WWE icon. and he commented on Jameer's costume saying his mind was blown. And apparently previously his like favorite player was Justin Jefferson. And he's like, oh, now I have a new favorite player or something like that. Let's go. Yeah, which is really cute. There we go. The Lions party in general was crazy. Like the Lions and the Eagles both posted a lot of social media. And I think the Jets as well, actually. And there was a lot of really good quality costumes. Yeah. Yeah. It's always really funny to me. Not really funny, but it's always really cool to see the boys, including their girlfriends and these parties and like what their costumes, which brings me to like one of our other top fives is Justin Herbert and Madison Beer.

58:11Very, very, very basic costume, but they're just hot. They were just, they're just hot. They were a captain. I just like talking about them. I know. Justin Herbert was a captain and Madison was a sailor. and she looked gorgeous as ever. He looked really good. Would have been more iconic if Madison was the captain and Justin was the sailor. Exactly. Switch the roles. Or like, what if like, Justin was the ship and Madison was the captain? That's crazy, actually. That's crazy.

58:42Come to me for all your couple costumes. I got you. Okay. My favorite Halloween costume. might be a hot take, but Lane Johnson on the Eagles was Hagrid from Harry Potter. And I love Hagrid because if I sleep on wet hair, I straight up look like Hagrid. And so I think it's so funny to me is that like out of every single Harry Potter character, you picked Hagrid. I love it. I know. I love it too. It's just funny. Because he's like big, you know, like you can't be hairy when you're that big. Yeah. You can't be Ron Weasley at whatever 300 pounds. You can be Voldemort. Yeah. Yeah, you can be Voldemort.

59:29But like, you can't be Ron. You can't be. Elaine Johnson is literally massive. He's also 35. Let's look at how tall this guy is. He's 35. Wow. 35. Okay. You cannot be Harry Potter at 6 '6", 325. He also has the beard to be Hagrid. Yeah. The costume was perfection. I mean, and also, Lane, if you want to be hairy, you do it. You do it. Halloween is where no one can stop you. You know what's crazy that I also recently learned? That players have their hand stats. So how big their hands are is on NFL.com. It'll tell you, like, his hands are 10 and a quarter inches. That's a big man. Something else might be really big, too.

1:00:16That man. He's crazy. He should be a movie star after this. Like, he's reminiscent of The Rock. He should be a movie star. Yeah. Sign Lane Johnson up for acting classes immediately. Yeah, like, get him to retire. Get him on the Eagles Christmas album. And then hook him up with all the people that Travis has been talking to for these movies. I want to see it. I forgot that they do that. It makes me happy because it's about to be Christmas time. Yeah. Yay. Okay, last thing to talk about today. The drama of Travis's ex. The trauma. Okay. Can you explain it? Because I feel like I only have a loose idea of what's going on here.

1:00:53I don't understand fully as to like what happened between Taylor and Travis and why Kayla felt the need to like clap back. That's what I don't understand. But what Kayla essentially did was dress up as Brandy, which is like a singer and from one of her music videos. And it was talking about like how basically like men are trash and like she don't need a man and like she's independent and like all that kind of stuff. And obviously people are like associating that as a clap back. But I don't understand what she was clapping back to. I think it might have been like a song lyric and Taylor's song or something like that.

1:01:37But it is really funny because I feel like this girl can't live in peace a little bit. But then she's also like feeding into it a little bit. I don't know. So what I've seen. The lyric that so she dressed up in a very specific costume that relates to a very specific music video from Tony Braxton. Oh, it's Tony Braxton, not Brandy. Yeah. Tony Braxton. Tony Braxton from her 2000 music video. He wasn't man enough. Yes. And it was a subtle diss to Travis. So I don't think it really had much to do with Taylor. I think it's a subtle diss to Travis and Taylor as a whole, because the song is he wasn't man enough.

1:02:23And then she lip syncs. Did you know about us back then? Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend? I'm not thinking about him, but you married him. Do you know I made him leave? Do you know he begged to stay with me? He wasn't man enough for me. So, oh, that's like a lot heavier than I thought it was. That's what the song says. Yeah. Her caption says a very Tony Halloween. So she dated Travis from 2017 to 2022. And it's basically like a subtle clap to their engagement. Yeah, it's crazy. But something happened, which made it, I don't know what it was, but something happened where it was alluded that they said something about her too.

1:03:10Oh, I think it's like lyrics in one of Taylor's new songs that they like, they speculated it's about her. Yeah. I think that's like speculative I mean I know Taylor's like known for like a subtle diss but if Taylor's gonna diss you she's gonna diss you don't you think? I don't know I think I think Taylor is very subtle with like what she did like when it comes to stuff like that I think it is very subtle just kind of like what Kayla did but I'm kind of here for it I like the chaos I like the chaos I would be hard if you girls like the Swifties can sleuth out if you really think the lyrics were about this girl.

1:03:50I think, I don't think based on like Taylor and her, like the way that she feels and like her like deep feeling, I don't think that she would do anything to jeopardize her current partnership based on how publicly supportive they've been of each other. I don't think that she would put a lyric in there that's to diss his ex-girlfriend from three years ago also. So yeah, that's the kind of thing. I feel like the media is like perpetuating. No, it feels very techie, but I feel like it's perpetuating it. And I also think it's making both sides more. Yeah. Like what did Taylor have to gain? Taylor does things so that she, when she has something to gain or something to like create and produce, Taylor doesn't do things for attention.

1:04:35This is an ask for attention by Travis's ex because she's upset that he's now engaged to the most. Like that is pain to watch your ex get engaged to someone, the most famous pop star on the planet. That fucking hurts. Like I had an ex get engaged to just a girl, like a, seems like a really cool girl. And that didn't feel great. Yeah. I think a lot of people have also making it like a black and white thing, which is really hard because like Travis had a type back in the day. and Taylor Swift does not fit that type. So it's, there's a lot to the story. And I'm not going to pick sides. I'm not like, because I do think like, Kayla has been dragged into a situation.

1:05:21Like they were cool. Like they didn't have any beef until the Taylor thing got brought up. And like until he started dating Taylor. And I think because people were like comparing them constantly and then it just keeps getting perpetuated. So, I don't know. But like, was it, It wasn't Taylor doing it. Like Taylor didn't do anything. No, I know. But I'm saying like the media is making it worse. But if you don't like the media and you don't like what the media is saying about you, then don't do this. Yeah. I don't know. I feel like those sides are guilty of things and it's just like, it's hard. But it's also like they're doing it for the plot.

1:06:01Like, you know what I mean? Like they're doing it because they know we love it. Well, I don't, I mean, I just, I don't believe that Taylor wrote a lyric about her. And I think that's my thing is like, I would love to be, I want the Swifties to sleuth it out. I'm going to call my sister after this, but if they, if they did do anything, it wasn't outright and public, but Kayla did something outright in public. So interesting, interesting for sure. Like I'm sure Kayla's great. And if my ex got engaged to Taylor, I would, I don't know what I would do. I'd probably quit social media for a while yeah it's also hard because you have Swifties that are Swifties are insane like there's Swifties who are like the average Swifties is like a girly pop super cool girl but then you also have Swifties who have just taken everything too far yeah like there's this article it says a sad pathetic nobody loser Swifties unleash fury on Kayla Nicole that's so mean like Kayla can do whatever she wants yeah it's yeah like you don't need to unleash hate on her no it's so bad like the cancel culture that we live in right now is like insane I do feel like cancel culture is kind of over like a little bit no oh no have you not heard like the whole like this is it's completely not NFL related well I guess it is because Huda did do like a tush-push thing people are completely canceling her right now but she just got dropped yeah she got dropped from huda beauty she got dropped from gymshark like she got canceled because what did she do she was on live with her boyfriend and somebody called her about oh andrea and said hardy are and they laughed but then huda came out and said oh i didn't really hear what they said and it was really awkward and I didn't know what to do so I laughed and people are like well when you hear that word why are you but I also think it's just like very sensitive because the whole thing of Love Island has been about people getting canceled and I'm over it like it's dang I don't keep up after the fact with like I'm like I like like watch like okay I actually don't know if I like Love Island or not.

1:08:23I watch it. I don't like it anymore. It's just, it's too much. I don't think I like it. I think I, I don't know. I watch it. And so that is incriminating evidence that I like it. But I don't know. The only reason why I keep hearing about it is because like my TikTok is like, my algorithm shows me those videos. Yeah, I don't know. I've never been like, I got a call. One of my friends is huge team Huda. so I gotta call them and see what their take is yeah it was a bad look I don't think she meant it but it's still a really bad look considering the history of this season specifically and all the crap that's already happened and just like the way she acted the reunion like acting like she does play the victim a little much but I do not want the huda haters or huda stands to come after me so i'm gonna keep my mouth shut the fact is that she's getting canceled and we are unsure of our current opinions right because huda huda stands are in swifties are like the same the same yeah people ride for huda which honestly that's crazy it's like it's just a regular person guys but honestly everyone's a regular person yeah yeah well it's like she didn't really do anything like the older i get the more i realize everyone's just a person okay well i think that's all we have for today oh we got a little pop culture in there guys a little pop culture come back next week for the recap of the berlin game that's gonna be so fun and we'll see how these trades play out i'll I'll let you know how sauce looks IRL, even though I'm probably going to be in the nosebleeds.
