Who's the favorite to win the World Series?

This is the atom gold shell hold hold on the radio right now. Try to be real is going to be real and it really got to give the kids of their gods okay don't worry, you're in good I heard about this. I excels in a wedding in Wilmington and I'm keeping it real. Someone mentioned it on Saturday. The whales like what the real winners when it is due you want to explain her through the wall of sound. They will talk about. Yes wall sound just a bit eligible to be real. Get out there.

Your you're out there you're in the yes my dear Matt rule out side I should let you get it cost today.

We got to be real you talk to so this is not fair is not. This is not state stop. I was keeping you mad, real, but take your picture with the realtor over to will if you know what I'm talking about. You probably roll your eyes at me. You don't know talk about.

You probably change the station. But let's go open up a fresh can of wall of sound.

The wall of sound is a function of this well silly things going on people as Michelle hit me up James Bond information that I know yeah but I think we must do the wall of sound at first it was good last night's game. Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos offense. To be fair, none of them looked great but his name is kind of being associated with the stake of the most Russell Wilson another lackluster performance by the authors that negative passing yards in the second half. It did put up 10 infers that that once or explosive play, but have not looked good for several games in a row and resulted in a loss. The loss wasn't.

Russ wasn't falling off the pot.

Then Dustin Hopkins was hopping around on one leg kicking the balsam hell. I will actually see only seen one like it and if the kicker that would be amazing to watch. Here's Russell Wilson being asked after the game there's any animosity in teams when the offense of the defense division unlock remaining. Guess I'll be partly played for each other and I am everybody go away, but everybody's fighting their butts off every day you guys up front online receivers Titans running backs that the defense defense line linebackers, just means our savings and corn. Everybody's like we can win the game's you know when and at the foot plate at the end and still forget me know right for the place to get good when the game and didn't didn't work out, and others.

Everybody's together. We still believe in everything that we can do what is resolutions eight special-teams yeah no takers of people to check Dustin Hopkins just Herbert feels about Dustin Hopkins love Russell was everybody's out there trying.

You know those guys up front Dolphins line backs receivers Titans DJ.

Stephen Elon I thought that well that what their disorders, everybody would know love note for the special-teams.

It's funny because yucky kicking field goals but no love for your kicker.

Soon, I bet this visit in the first on this is come up either where one of the knocks on the side. The general inauthenticity there would be specific. Hey Seattle, we have one of the best defenses in the NFL and all we need you to do is be average. I can remember exactly which years were grubby, sincere, was good for number of years like they won a Super Bowl maybe should one of the rentable, but there was this animosity or at least it was talked about his animosity between the defense. The felt like were continually keeping teams below like 10 points and somehow were still in the legate situations that are often so we put up 714 or whatever. This is the first on the that's better subject for Russell Wilson but let's focus on the positive. Dustin Hopkins was the one leg kicker getting it done yesterday just Herbert who did not for a touchdown for the first am 27. It just never 56 times did not throw one of those 56 passes for a touchdown.

Now nobody's ever done that before so of course he was focusing on the toughness of his kicker as he should be so much respect for him really certain, and you know that's the great part of the NFL. Those guys you know they're there committed to our team and nobody is tough and that's I can say about them for for him to go out there and play put up with something like that expensive. It generally is reminiscent of Tiger Woods playing on like a broken leg or whatever it was he had exempt the US open words like if this were not the final-round U.S. Open and you are not in contention.

Monday would be out of there.

Interestingly, Jimmy was Monday night against the Denver Broncos is not the final-round U.S. Open right I see if there was playoffs and he was like a big surgery in the off-season, but I can just kick right now is good heard the second ignores I could see maybe got out and all credit Dustin Hopkins, a big tough guy just in today's world were like kicker legs are super special. One of those things were like that to see what the by comparing elite kickers delete quarterbacks right there is kickers is like 15 people have one where you feel great about your kicker and you feel good to get a lot of their college not NFL within the NFL and you have to line up for a 52 yard kick to win the game you feel like your kicker will make that percentage was either 75 rates of the time that you they may not make it, but you feel good about your kicker. Then there's like another 10 or so like good enough we run out of different kicker but urine NFL kickers will keep you and there's like five or it's like we invite your kicker or are kicker got hurt or you are kicker last minute whatever's like five just using guys that are around. I gathered a bit in the league and the just around special kicker you not run them out there on Monday night keep kicking. Please hurt like that again. I'm not a doctor. I love Zachary was just a watch tested.

I could kick please feel goals and then to go down in pain afterwards was hard to watch it like really help a guy out here upon her chance, or maybe just go for transport downs. I sent about their and then the final sound bite Fido clip the wall of sound go back to Sunday and Chase Claypool in the Pittsburgh Steelers locker room because this actually spawned a fun subject on the show today. Here, Chase Claypool began winning his first day that that is first.

If you are winning the game. It was a first for Chase Claypool in the locker room feels awesome gunner Camaro quick celebratory that was my first time ever I carry all the flights but it did not feel good. He was line it did not Diggity I can't really with all these lights he was being honest gunner get over here because I don't really like talking more. Contacting this dip still the fun of that was real with him, saying he feels great not surreal stuff you believe you have never dipped in stocks down there have angered out on be real.

You have no life experience yeah hopeless yes exactly, you just know is a five day and be real. Every night is all about yet put those my all my dating profiles right to be real works like this guy explain this to me.

I got heard about it for the first time this week, and a woman thin walls at a wedding and housing with what's be real tight. On the other be totally honest. There is I heard about it before nieces around there, they often didn't keep me informed of like what the younger people are doing the nieces are like college age and older now Doug tried stay involved. There's a setting that lies get a couple weeks ago people robbing a bank and then to be real notification goes off and he gives the best explained better than I can do, they'll be able to explain the basically like when you have an Instagram account or twitter account or Facebook account.

You decide when and what you post on your Instagram adjuster that screenwriter your on a hiking set up your hammock, your cool picturesque scene by a lake with the sun, with the sun setting you decide this is the perfect shot. I want to shut them up at about Instagram hi be there now.

Yes, being real, works a little differently you you are on the app you get exist. Give your profile handle whatever once a day at any given time.

You don't know what it can be.

There's no pattern, no rhyme or reason to it. You get a notification that says stone to be real. Okay then the clock is ticking. Give two minutes of the time that notification is yes and on hunters and Sheriff it's like the time you look at the notification or they just send it out the clock sticking but so there you have two minutes to post a picture to be real.

In theory, you can't go set up some cool shot or wait for a sunset or difficulty.

It's what are you doing right now, so the be real notification came for you between noon and three Argus 360 you all you produce the afternoon you will be sitting in front of the data your board of lights and and slides and buttons and levers of computers. Whatever.

And that would be your picture. The other thing about it is it takes a picture at the same time the front and the back facing camera. If I did like here is what I'm looking at. And here's what's was what I face is, and it was all around and it post that being real at the time. So anybody it's on be real got the same stay down there all posting. If you want to see what other people are doing at that time to be real you have to post okay.

You can't just alert and likely to be as big a year.

Instagram account never post a picture right here. You only get a look at the pictures. If you yourself posted. So basically let's say I'm on the cam plane phase 10 I get be real notification yes all right here you go. Yes, you're supposed to do that. You probably most people like obviously they probably put more out during daylight hours right out a lot of the reels of 3 AM yeah you know that they don't of 4 AM whatever but like if you're like me, like 90% of them start working out to like will where you were going to be picture there, like most of your be reels would be a picture of you sitting by the microphone take a picture of other people to get a microphone and then you also with your microphone on it for the computers that would like with a lot of them catch up at the weekend or somewhere else you might be doing something supercool.

The time and you can bet I went back to Brewer Stadium. Yes W perfect babies inside of the be real so you can be real tomorrow to Brewer Stadium.

According to Lori Leary, Devon Leary's mom Devon Leary had successful surgery and is now recuperating his doctors were thorough and amazing. Thanks, Dr. Andrews and all the staff that he had died. You do the surgery because you don't. Dr. Andrews basically your ear muscles cut her arm off.

Doddridge is the only person who could do this. It is amazing how many people go to Dr. James injured when he retires what we do not have what happens when you start treating athletes like horses like when they when they get hurt like sorry it's over you. James injured is not here to solve things jokes aside right here that Devon had good surgery and the families happy from supportive hopefully not now damaged in question coming into the debt.

Leary is another year of eligibility right. The thought was that he would build on last season the great have a high draft stack and go. Much like we saw Sam how do now. There will be questionable. Devon Leary return and put another good seasons tape on there for NFL scouts or will he rehab and maybe take chances with workouts being good.

Whatever show himself to the DFL and see where you draft a will sick but good to see the surgery went well. Joining is now talk yeah the baseball player for most importantly to give us his first dip story from team USA baseball. He also calls games for ESPN the North Carolina lottery for ACC network as well as freelance guys works for everybody to my good friend Darren bought was up there doing well ma'am hope you are excited when I heard you guys were doing. Claypool first dip story. Yes, I think Michael and I granted my mother as an NFL player, but it's not totally dissimilar to mine, came after a high school baseball game and playing baseball. Going to high school in rural Virginia sort of separate being here dairy farming town. All of my teammates hunted all of them I would not one of those. I was the subdivision kid like trying to keep like a skateboard like it was like sort of two worlds within one small town right but we were friendly. We had this friendship baseball. So we play our County rivals. One night it goes in the 10th inning and remember regulation was seven inning, so this is a long game by high school standards 10th inning. I go up with the bases loaded and drive in to with a double coat that went with the game big big new row on the bus ride back and there was always the same spot we stopped at where it was a windy and a Taco Bell separated on the themes of the road are separated basically by increment, where the staircase and you can go from one to the park at one and everybody would have their choice dollars with Taco Bell benefit no eye on the way from the game to their offered, not even an actual dip. Hey, member date, they started making the little pallet still treat your I figured, okay, this is not my forte right. This should be sort of an easy in, but I had agreed to have a celebratory dip with my teammate is like a 10 minute drive from the field where we were to the Wendy's, Taco Bell Hill chair in those 10 minutes. Boy, I did not like when I say I yakked my insides for another 10 minutes in between there like some bushes at the embankment yeah is this when you Taco Bell. I was in the bushes for 10 to 15 minutes. The second we got there like rust off of the bus and could even meet the growth of Perino that I ordered a Taco Bell because that was my go to RIP the growth of Perino. I am in a fine of course but now that my first dip story say testing also like how you couched in a possibly superfluous against unnecessary baseball game plaguing heroics by Darren Vaught so you can put that in there that this is why have the debit desire that you had to walk off again. Why not write County rivals get out with it with.

It was sort as a nod to my teammate guided by K. We played a great game. I'm going to do it yes and was pouting like a 70s guys went first time in Copenhagen like are you crazy, but you what, where, when I he described it is when I try to pass on other people like I'm taking shots of done that were given only to get into the specifics of what I have or have not done in my life down the like. There is just nothing that hit as hard as quickly as the first dip just you just gotta be ready. You can be ready. I don't know if it's like something with McDonald's like enter them more quickly through their I have no idea what to write it it it it it fast and if you're someone who hadn't done it before. Obviously if it's just a weird new sensation we might take some more dip stories a little bit later and still get some great ones early Renaissance actual baseball was the general topic do plants need fixing. Are they okay the format that is no, I understand people reservation with the format because look, we got three, 100 win teams who are out of it, including bitmaps who walked out in the wild-card round Padres Dodgers in the brain. It was never meant to be.

Hey, let's make let's get the best team to win baseballs only work if not Stanley Cup playoffs by any stretch but it's always been one of the sportswear World Series champion is not usually the best regular-season team and I think this is exactly what baseball wanted with these expanded playoff more excitement like the NL is on on fire right now. If anything, because the Phillies were third in their own division. The Padres were out of it with a couple weeks left in the season potentially in the two teams play in NLP epic that wonderful for the game. I think it's great because the Phillies again even though they were third in their own division. They got one of the true superstars in baseball when the more recognizable faces and names and bright talk San Diego with loaded with stark talent to be a good theory.

I think of greater concern would be maybe to get everybody in it down because of this mass we got with the Yankees and the guardians right now to finish up today. Someone can win that in advance of ale yes and then make a bet he reached tomorrow against the Astros. We all want to lose all way so I'm doing good. I think the playoff to really really good this season and again I understand the reservations about it because it's new. It's changed it different if Martin and it's not necessarily giving us the best team from the regular-season of the best teams pitted against one another in the World Series.

But what every sports and other flaws with the postseason. I agree with you on the island and also into screams like if you truly want to do the analysis of all what you like to not have the Dodgers in the Braves or whoever else they would.

That year, they want to be in the in the still of the postseason. The flipside is if you went back to only four teams we can postseason whatever it is like how many of those games in September and early October would been completely meaningless like the Dodgers would've wrapped up in the. The NL side of things with months to go right like exactly that. I'm glad you mentioned that one of the argument, the regular-season doesn't matter if the complete contrary to regulars.

Every regular-season game matters with this format because of that good smallest margins by which these these wild-card teams made it right. It makes all the sense in the world Inc. and even with the mats rightly drop down to the wild-card after they got swept by the Brady late in the regular-season week to go in the regular-season that made the difference to them about. I was there on game one of the wild-card game in New York anyway and went to city field to that game that by myself surrounded by lifelong Mets fan and because of that series with the Braves.

They were dejected, they they felt they seemed like they had already lost it all. It was crazy how that worked.

But no, that's another funny element to it that the map lost a 100 win team a very very good major league baseball team the best thought. Everybody's just like that sick doctors in the Braves did not or else pointed to Susie talk about the praise that series that that basically had the feel of a playoff series in the regular-season because it mattered because of playoff spots and how to plan out to like you to make the playoffs but it was so important whether you were the wild-card team or whether you won the division in the Braves got to sit out that wild-card round and did you know the winner of the Cardinals until he got beat up a box of Phillies but it is a huge advantage to be play for MX series so the bats who have this starting pitching talent had great starting pitching the got knocked around for basically the first time all season and that theory that matter that joining us in team USA baseball. The five teams last because the advantage she thinks the leader right now since of the favorites as we said aren't aren't no longer with us in the playoffs really talk to pick against the Astros what you had to right now just because you might like the Yankees. But even if they beat the guardians today. They turn around and start the series with the Astros tomorrow. The Astros have been a really good team all season long there complete and then on on the NL side but I I've been saying for blunted affiliate defender to be dangerous.

I didn't expect them to be this good and with Bryce Harper scorching hot, having had the NLP yet. Against the Braves that he had. I mean there there there enticing and I think irregularity mentioned they've got the star power and they added at the All-Star break or the trade deadline rather Juan Soto, one of the best players in the game you play great at the Padre but we know we capable and one of the best closers in the league in Josh Hager, if not the best closer in the league and that mean those are important pieces to add to an already good payment already, possibly playoff team to make a push down the run. It's so tough to pick against the Astros given the circumstances of their going to get a gas to Cleveland or New York team and you know they got a couple of underdogs over on the NL… Joining us one last question of the door which the I was asked to set you up to this better, but you are in some high school football stadiums on Friday nights. Some of Constable stadiums on Saturday sundown here on ESPN plus games games were not always watching on TV. What's the coolest, funniest, Corky is most interesting thing you seen covering football across the state of North Carolina and at any level through about six weeks of the season against the high school football seasons because of the rabbit out there get in there playoffs, what's just getting off the wall story of something cool that you witnessed encumbering some games this fall actually do my game that I had last Friday so I with former conflict corner Reggie Walker are doing the jangled game of the week they call it an air on WCVB. The CW affiliate in me TV in the Charlotte area on Friday we had to have the best teams in the state. The top to rank in Charlotte Mallard Creek at half it was.

I mean look. You know me. I love offense and I'll take all the points.

There can be especially from calling a game. I just am usually more engaged.

It's more fun for me to have touchdown calls and exciting places of that nature. There was not an offense of touchdowns scored in this game off wanted 13 or cubic Mallard Creek 113 and nine and it was still like an incredible game with really good with a couple of pics fixes for Mallard Creek with the different, yet not an offense of touchdowns scored top two teams in the Charlotte area and we did. It was an incredible game.

It was sort of bizarre and I know that I have ever ever seen like watching 2010 SEC football something just like Puyallup. Now that I hated that game and I hated that David Baker 12 with what I think was maybe a little bit more exciting and sent out to Jeremy set Shelley the kicker for Alabama that John is a TSA with dip stories baseball inside and little football as well. We appreciate you.

Keep up the great work. Always good to talk to you dear. You got to be well.

I on the other side we have to revisit the couple things in the show. One will continue to take if you got first dip stories number 98605326 those is been fun all day about people texting me just loving the first dip stories, silly things like I can't take my first dip story, but I think my last one that she is a good to use your last one is it involves substances other than dip. Usually it was a late night you had too much to drink and then you decide to dip and the next morning you said never again did swear off at least one of those things and were given up alcohol to get a James Bond question to Mrs. Sparks by somebody's tweet, not as we were taught a James Bond earlier. I remember how I came up. The work is done on movie sequels and suffering on their reality. James Bond is different because it's you here's another James Bond jewelry as opposed to Sequoia single working out. I have callbacks and in reference points okay I been presented with a fan theory about James Bond that I never heard before, but apparently this you this huge take what is once all next to the ambrosia drive around Johnson County. Favorites owns Jim to great country singer and great bluegrass singer wrote that song. I know this is different as the American aquarium, which I love what they did this version of all covers a bit to figure all 90s country songs they likely to favor with somebody like responded there like these are going as good as the originals. There like a really you think you know, still the one by Shania Twain as well as our caregiver was what it was like really, really, you think we crunch the Shania Twain's life is good. We just didn't fund. These are some of our favorite songs we want to perform the ball heads Carolina tells California great software greener somewhere warmer great song 90s country's best man. If Sandra's barbecue always has great platelet big heads used to keep it east of a great 90s play that can remember they still play the same 90s by the may play more contemporary stuff 90s put 90s country songs. So give five have time to get in all things needed to finish the show but I had semisweet on the return, a James Bond earlier yes we are talking about sequels and prequels and nostalgia and how you're trying to both satisfy the fans of the genre, but also create a new thing this is difficult sometimes right that we're doing this and have to matter to attempt to detect except that it could be a nostalgia play, but hopefully it was like good enough. I got the nostalgia you wanted and we were use the reverence of like James Bond or Batman doesn't always fall victim to these things because they're not pretending as if the story is continuing every time like there's kind of a general theme, but we know we know what happened. Batman's parents and why he became Batman Windows get a cave at his house is rich in his alter ego is Bruce Wayne, right. Like all these things are the same.

There's no we don't care the Christian Bale and Picked my got eaten. Yes, that the both Val Kilmer they they all apparently play a different kind of Batman that all of this kind of the same time, the dark Knight trilogy wasn't staying the Michael Keaton ones words things were fine and it's okay that they made the change of details and overlap and I was saying. James Bond is the same way right like were not like how is James Bond still in 2015 a young fit agent when he was alive in 1960.

This is impossible, right we just James Bond is just a thing and it works. Why was explaining this and then during the commercial break objective notifications and 70 tweet me and said no no no no James Bond is a codename and these are all different spies that have just gone by the codename James Bond over the years and I was like what I had never heard this, I did some quick research. Apparently this is a fan theory right but much like it was exactly like that right where there might be some story arcs that run through a couple things. And there are some universal truths we accept about the James Bond universe like what his bosses name is and that's what a different person to write like that in human monies and ambiguity of the money.

There was little change people they own all codenames and finally I don't spend a lot of time getting on fan theories instead and disproving them but just for my own sanity, I was reminded that yes James Bond at one point at a wife who got killed, and that wife was referencing other James Bond movies where there was a different care to playing James Bond. So in theory that still the same James Bond and then and Scott fall.

He went to his childhood home. We saw the graves of his parents and their name was bond yeah right that's his job at the they're all the same guy obviously doesn't work in real life which to except that James Bond. He's the guy in Casino Royale. He had quite become a double agent yet, so James Bond it was a codename. Yeah, for whatever that version is a very get it out of becoming semisweet that I get codename nothing about this is known that submit get out here with that but I do appreciate folks tweeting of the erecting of the ship that we do love with a few minutes. We have remaining of just dumbfounded side of things are overrated, underrated or properly rightly rated. This is rightly rated. I think we been overrated.

I think they've been underrated catfish, overrated, underrated, rightly rated this comes up is viewing God when North Carolina this morning on I-95 22,000 catfish. He strode all over the interstate on a Tuesday morning this morning. Catfish all over the highway exit was more like a between the highway. I have checked objective. My good friends Carolyn look at what is my got to say okay anybody is okay time to find they were not part of the rack, but are catfish overrated underrated the right. If you have catfish, we wouldn't have an anti-tail stories are missing underrated get you going that direction. It is, it is weird how that documentary they made and in its like it's a weird lady to tell the story about catfish for why that became the name of Fishing the digital fraud version you ever catfish as a food. I rightly rated the best fish. Some of the other pride that you don't have my Cajun seasoning it or whatever like it's a brother of Sam and the catfish but a fish that has a mustache seems coolly Yeah are unique rightly understand. I can identify, there between a drone and striper catfish are my catfish get a mustache I respect underrated. Next up bread is bread overrated underrated or rightly rated.

This comes up because a lovingly wrought six-foot recreation of Han Solo frozen in Carbonite made entirely of bread. They're calling it I don't know how to say like using the Spanish word for bread, which is right like if you reading it in English to look like pan solo part of it is pot runs using the beverages upon so I 61 house bakery in Benicia California about 40,000 exhibitors go next June arrangement of seasonal gourd to the chalkboard to read our hero pond solo contract in 1190 by the evil Jabba the Hutt doubt this is not their first venture get to see this thing fairly bread without yeast like looks a little different walking by like almost a depressed or they don't believe that expressed that you think it's pond solo Halloween decoration right. But in 2018 year they opened the family bake bakery they made game of scones ice featuring a white walker made of bread next with iron from the baguette and encouraging the positive response ignited 2020 limiting pain to Lori clad in armor made of red baby poet closed in bread and floating mixing bowls and the pay enjoyed.

Like every time I read up on like stuff to eat healthier to lose weight alike fade the bread faded. What appetite does get a baguette from the store like this is just I love bread sandwich disappointed was really a great sandwich bread on it and finally for rightly rated it is October so we gotta give you ghost or ghost overrated underrated rightly rated this comes up as a house built in Texas in the 1840s as a special kind of ghost. It used to be a bordello. That's why the owner said many of the ghost tend to reveal themselves in a peculiarly peculiar nature sexual. She said there's no other way to put it ghost or dirty talking you hear them say, oh baby oh baby yeah and yeah I like it like that. Oh sexy goes also out of here. The ghost they were moaning on the plane recently sounded more LeVay goes freaking out there apparently are ghost overrated, underrated or rightly rated Joe's great movie. RIP Patrick Swayze underrated great question. I see him and it would drop this on you ghost not real.

I wish the ghost exist and I want to be winsome if we didn't have ghost when at Pac-Man underrated great call times by Lillian on this. Once we talk about all day.

Kids don't dip, don't do it to take the advice of our listeners today do not do it. This is the gold shell
