We are back. The Spivey special podcast. We're bringing back the old show.

0:05

We got Grab Bag, we got Food Court Files, and yes, we still have Man Boobs. Hit that theme song.

0:12

Music.

0:32

Welcome to the Spivey special podcast. Troy, we did it. We are back.

0:38

We don't really know what to call the episode, but we're going to call this

0:42

Season 4, Episode 1. Because why not?

0:47

I think we lost track somewhere like 159. So we're just going to go Season 4,

0:52

Episode 1. We're bringing the old show back.

0:55

Just give the people what they want. You know, everyone's been reaching out

0:59

to us, both the people that listen to our show, and they're like,

1:01

hey, just bring it back old school. Enough of watching those Kings play all the time, so let's go.

1:07

Here we are, bringing it back, all of your favorite categories with your two large men.

1:14

And we got a new category tonight. We got recommendation time.

1:17

We've still got some Kings talk. We got food court files. We're going to do some crap.

1:23

It's going to be a fun night. Buckle in. Troy, let's talk a little football to start this thing off.

1:31

Troy, Chiefs, Niners, Super Bowl. What are your thoughts?

1:34

Yeah, I thought both the championship games were pretty good.

1:37

Ravens just didn't play well. Chiefs did. They had a really good game plan against Lamar Jackson,

1:43

as a lot of teams do, in the playoffs.

1:46

Ravens had a lot of stupid personal foul penalties. I don't think any of them

1:50

were egregiously called. As a Ravens fan, I think I can say that.

1:55

And then the Lions, the gambler's going to gamble. You know,

1:58

he had a chance to go up three scores with 22 minutes left in the game on the other side there.

2:03

Went for it, gave all the mode to the Niners. The Niners kind of just ran with it.

2:07

So Chiefs Niners, I'm actually kind of pulling for the Chiefs now, just out of spite.

2:13

Chiefs have won one recently. I like to see the big droughts.

2:16

As a Cubs fan, I am all about the drought.

2:19

So I am pulling for the Chiefs. i don't really care about the game that much

2:24

but it's gonna be a lot of betting pretty usual for the super bowl i already got my price picks in,

2:30

troy's got me hooked on price picks that's my new thing it doesn't matter what

2:33

it is i wish i could get more outrageous ones i just like to bet on a keegan

2:38

dunk or a chris jones sack or just whatever the most outrageous one that you

2:42

could possibly do i wish we could get some like. National Anthem length time bets. Can we just get wild for the Super Bowl?

2:50

I'm interested to see if they'll kind of put that on prize picks because the

2:53

first Super Bowl that I've been with prize picks, I haven't even been with them for a full year.

2:59

So maybe they will give us a little props. That would be fun.

3:03

Until you start doing like Call of Duty prize picks, I don't know if you're

3:06

really into it. I saw that. It was like deep. I don't know. I don't know if I can get that far. I don't have money to blow

3:12

on that yet. That's wildness. You got to win a couple before you start firing on that.

3:16

Let me hit two and then I'll start betting Call of Duty in the middle of the night.

3:20

Why not? I got better odds than trying to figure out what Harrison Barnes is

3:23

going to do. No, absolutely. All right, Trey. Well, we are changing back to the original.

3:29

Do you want to just get started right now? Move into our first one?

3:33

Why not? Let's give the people what they want. All right, Trey.

3:36

We'll take a quick break and come back with the recommendation time. Have you seen this show?

3:41

Best Tacos Ever. However, this book I just read, no, just kidding.

3:45

It's Recommendation Time. All right, welcome to Recommendation Time.

3:50

Troy, we haven't done this one in a while. I'm excited to have it back.

3:53

I'm going to let you do the honors since you were the one that added this to

3:56

the beginning of the show. Troy, what is a weird thing or just a normal thing that you recommend for everybody?

4:03

So we like to give the people what the Spivey Brothers like,

4:07

and that's not always what normal people like. But this first one, I'm going to go just nice and easy. We're going to settle back in.

4:12

You know, season four, episode one, I'm going to go with the show Traders on Peacock.

4:19

It's a mix of a lot of different things. We're on season two now of Traders.

4:24

If you haven't seen it, it is on Peacock. As I said, the show basically is 22 people.

4:29

They're in Scotland. They're in this castle.

4:32

They got the Scottish guy as the host and three of the 22 end up being traders

4:38

And they play challenges. And basically, it's like a clue type game where you have to try to figure out

4:43

who the traitors are based on how they're acting and different things that they do.

4:48

So very exciting show.

4:51

Interesting. It has a lot of people in the first season. It's half normal people

4:55

and then half reality stars. Then the second season, they're like, yeah, we're going to get those normal

5:00

people out of there. And so they have like professional athletes.

5:03

Deontay Wilder was on season two.

5:06

Guys from the challenge like Johnny Banana, CT, Survivor people, Big Brother people.

5:11

You got Real Housewives on the show. So it's like a big mix.

5:15

It's like that's right up your alley. It's a gumbo. You know,

5:18

there's just so much going on that you just don't know what's going to happen.

5:21

So that is my first recommendation.

5:23

That is Traitors on Peacock.

5:27

I kind of want to watch that show now. And I don't even really like most of

5:31

those challenge shows, but they got everybody on there. It sounds like fun.

5:34

I think you really like it just because it's more of a strategic type game and

5:38

it's like people can't handle it lying to people because you vote people out

5:44

that you, as a trader, you vote people out that you know are faithfuls.

5:48

And it's wild. People can't handle it.

5:51

The people that are really good at those type of games, like Big Brother and

5:54

Survivor, they're in tears and they just can't do it. So it's really interesting.

5:58

And my current favorite show, it's Thursday Nights.

6:03

I believe it is 9 p.m. Eastern Time on Peacock.

6:09

I try. I'm also going to pick a show on Peacock, as we discussed on our live

6:13

show the other night. I think Peacock is, I think that's where it's at.

6:16

As much as I thought I didn't like Peacock, I like a lot of the shows that are

6:20

on there. The one that I'm watching now, it came out over the summer.

6:23

I think it started in July. But that is Twisted Metal. And it is a very, very interesting show.

6:30

Anthony Mackie, who plays Falcon in the Marvel Universe.

6:33

Stephanie Beatriz from Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

6:37

And then Sweet Tooth, the crazy clown in the ice cream truck.

6:40

The body is Samoa Joe from wrestling, and the voice is Will Arnett.

6:45

And it is very entertaining. They managed to fit 20 of the characters across

6:50

the five or six Twisted Metal games all into season one.

6:54

And it's a lot of fun. They're just going along a post-apocalyptic world and

6:58

they've got guns on top of their cars and they're driving around and it's super

7:02

bloody and very entertaining.

7:05

As someone who grew up playing the game, I am more intrigued to maybe watch

7:09

that than a lot of people may be listening today.

7:11

Day but my all of the like weird little references to people even if they don't show up in the show,

7:18

like i think i'm like five or six episodes in but they go to new chicago and

7:24

calypso's there who's like the he's like the voice in all the twisted metal

7:28

games he's like the announcer but they go and he's like a secret voice that's

7:32

just there and you don't ever see him, and they come up on the little bug and it's flower power and it's like okay

7:38

i remember all these these things yes now we are that was one of our favorite

7:41

games i think we played twisted metal 3. Too much to the point where i don't think the disc stopped working we had like

7:47

beaten the game all the way through with every character on like all the difficulties

7:52

of that game great game for any child to grow up playing i think that's what

7:58

it says on the box is if you don't play twisted metal than FU.

8:04

Similar to Big Red Gum. All right, Trey. Give me your second recommendation. This one's a little more

8:10

out there. Two shows, so we're pretty like...

8:13

We're pretty on the straight and narrow right now. Well, I'm going to go...

8:16

This may surprise you, but I'm going to kind of go out deep left field.

8:20

I'm going to go with a song. I don't know if it would be up your alley, but I listen to a lot of music.

8:27

Whose alley is this song going to be up? Mine.

8:32

But it's a song that... This is for you to listen back to in a year and a year.

8:36

Oh, yeah, I do like that song. So the song is I See You by Coco Jones.

8:42

It's one of those songs that you listen to, and you're like, oh, this jams.

8:46

It's kind of a slower song, like an R&B song, song

8:49

and then it like halfway through like it gets going

8:52

a little bit like almost rap-ish but not rap type

8:55

song so right now my favorite song you guys should all check it out listen to

9:01

it i see you by coco jones talks about getting left on red just all the things

9:09

that i can not really relate to but i mean sounds nice.

9:17

Oh i'll have to i'll have to listen to this song just to get a reference as

9:20

to what this is perfect most of the time i'm like where do you even find these

9:25

songs but all right we'll check it out because you recommended it thank you

9:29

try all pandora does is either gives me a random song that i absolutely love

9:33

or it's chris stapleton because he's on every single station on pandora,

9:37

All right, Trey, I'm going to get even weirder. Okay. We did two TV shows. We did a song.

9:44

And now I'm going to recommend a product that you can find in stores or on Amazon.

9:48

And it is a meat thermometer. It is the Meter 2 Plus. I've had a bunch of meat

9:53

thermometers, smart ones. This one is the best. The app is fantastic.

9:59

You can choose what you're cooking. When you put the thermometer in on the app,

10:04

it'll tell you what the inside temperature is.

10:06

It tells you what the ambient temperature around it is it gives

10:09

you alerts if there's a flare-up like if you get like if

10:12

it catches on fire you can go check on it it will also make an estimate of when

10:17

it will be done cooking so like we cooked a full chicken tonight and it was

10:22

like all right it will be ready in 58 minutes perfect and kind of now i can

10:27

watch two whole quarters of the kingpin while the chicken goes without freaking out.

10:32

Awesome. My new favorite thing. Well, I'm very happy to hear that you are eating

10:36

well, because I always worry about you in that department.

10:39

So I'm very happy you got your meat thermometer.

10:42

I mean, it'd probably be for my best interest to get salmonella with an undercooked

10:46

chicken or something, but not anymore. Meat thermometer, baby.

10:51

Yeah. As a guy who doesn't really cook that much, I don't really have the need for that.

10:56

But maybe down the road, you know, when I learn your ways, is now maybe with

11:00

the Meteor 2.0 or whatever it's called.

11:02

I haven't checked in the app, but maybe they have like mini corn dogs and you

11:06

just stick it in one and put it in the air fryer and it'll just let you know.

11:09

I don't know what the internal temperature of a mini corn dog is supposed to be, but.

11:12

I don't think you need a thermometer. It just tells you what to do on the box.

11:16

So I don't know why I would spend the money on the thermometer, but.

11:21

All right, Troy, I think that's it for recommendation time. Let's take a quick break.

11:26

Rick also before we do if you if you guys do have any recommendations that you

11:32

want to give and then maybe we can check them out and if we enjoy them we can

11:37

bring into this segment of recommendation time go ahead and send them to our

11:40

social medias on instagram x gonna give it to you,

11:44

at spivey special also facebook and

11:48

facebook or tiktok if you want to get weird yeah just

11:51

don't watch those old videos i mean this is season four

11:54

there's a lot of things that have happened in the first three seasons that we

11:57

may want to push under the rug a little bit fair

12:01

enough all right we're going to take a quick break and

12:04

we're going to come into our new category where did that come from where did

12:09

that come from where did that come from where did that come from where did that

12:13

come from right imagine you're playing a round of golf with your buddies few

12:18

beers deep lead on the pencil running low after back-to-back eights.

12:24

The four of you are on the green, birdie opportunity upcoming,

12:27

and your buddy leaves it short. Instinctively, you yell, hit it, Alice, in which you are insinuating he hit

12:34

it like a girl, an overused line that gets a grin but rarely a laugh.

12:39

Then you think to yourself, who is Alice? The maid from the Brady Bunch?

12:44

The one from the the wonderland you may be shocked alice

12:47

is really a man spelled a-l-l-i-s-s peter alice to be exact the phrase came

12:56

from the 1963 rider cup where alice took on and defeated the great arnold palmer

13:02

alice was never a great putter and during his match peter missed a three-foot,

13:07

Someone in the crowd yelled, nice putt, Alice, and the rest is history.

13:11

So next time you yell, hit it, Alice, remember the excellent movie by Amanda Bynes. She's the man.

13:19

Sports Jog with the Spivey Brothers. Cubs are good. Get the ball to big country. Generic soccer take.

13:27

All right, that's enough. I'm out of breath. Welcome to Sports Jog.

13:31

That's been mostly what we've been doing on the show for the last,

13:34

I don't know, few months that we've been doing it.

13:37

But let's get into a little bit of Kings talk here, Troy. I was pretty optimistic

13:41

during the week, right in the episode for today, and then they ripped our heart

13:44

out tonight playing the Heat. Not a great one. Heat were on a seven-game losing streak.

13:50

Kings are now 5-21 all-time in Miami since they've come to Sacramento,

13:55

and they look like they've been 5-21 in Miami. Kind of a rough one.

13:59

It's hard to win in the NBA on the road. That's all I got to say,

14:03

and the Kings on their longest road trip of the year,

14:06

seven game trip currently three in

14:08

one so to say that this would

14:12

be the game we would have lost i probably would have said maybe not but

14:15

um got one against the warriors got one against the mavericks got

14:18

one against a star-studded grizzlies team

14:21

that you and i could have started on so i'm happy

14:25

with where they're at i thought if they got three wins out of the

14:28

entire seven game road trip i'd be be happy so still

14:31

three more opportunities on this trip including a game i believe friday is our

14:36

next one up against the pacers that's got to be the one you got to win that's

14:40

the one i want to win the most of this whole trip i think the pace is going

14:44

to be good with siakam now they're having a little bit of a learning curve and

14:48

hopefully that's when we're catching them do it. But we're also on a learning curve with harrison barnes in his fourth season

14:54

where he's just trying Trying to figure out if he's good or not. Today he was not. He was a regular Harrison Barnes again.

15:00

He came back to earth after his 31 and 39 or whatever he had. 32 and 39, yeah.

15:06

Yeah, he had 2 and 10 from the three-point line last game.

15:10

He doesn't know if he needs to be aggressive or not aggressive or not rebound.

15:17

Well, he doesn't rebound, but I saw a funny video.

15:20

I think it got posted in the group chat that we're in. And then Sabonis is like,

15:23

yeah, I want to thank my teammates for getting me that rebound record.

15:27

They sure missed a lot of shots tonight or something like that.

15:30

That was pretty good. That was a good interview. I liked that one.

15:33

Yeah, Barnes 0 for 6 from 3 tonight, scored 9 points.

15:36

Four of those were in the last minute during garbage time after he just didn't

15:43

play defense on the last meaningful possession of the game that the Heat had.

15:48

So kind of frustrating. I think we're kind of seeing where, I mean,

15:52

we're right Right where we were last year, which we were ecstatic to be.

15:55

We ran it back that we can't really expect them to be much better.

15:59

Trade deadline's in eight days, I think, or seven days now.

16:02

We'll see if they make a move. I hope they do. There's a ceiling to this current

16:05

team, and we're kind of at it.

16:08

It's kind of probably four to six seeds more in there, and probably an early exit from the playoffs.

16:14

The issue with this Kings team is not everyone can get going at the same time.

16:19

It's like one week, one guy's good, and I think that's pretty normal over a

16:22

long season, like the NBA is with 82 games, but I just aren't clicking.

16:27

Just something seems wrong. Like either Fox is off or Monk is off or Barnes

16:32

is always off or Sabonis had like a couple bad weeks early-ish in the season.

16:37

It's just like no one can get the consistency of this team is very shocking to me.

16:43

Yeah, Sabonis has been great. Night in, night out, double-double.

16:47

I think it's up to 29 games in a row. He triple-doubled tonight. night he's just putting up like wilt chamberlain

16:53

numbers like when you see his stats and they're like the only other person that's

16:57

done this is bolt chamberlain i was like you know you're having a good season

16:59

but like you said it's just inconsistent monk has been awful the last week.

17:05

Foxes there's been something wrong since like the beginning of the year i don't

17:08

quite know what it is i don't know if

17:11

he's hurt or doesn't know where he fits in

17:14

the offense it feels like he's just pulling up for three for no reason he's

17:17

shooting eight threes like he's buddy buckets or something It doesn't make

17:20

any sense I get that

17:22

it's your new toy You used to be bad at it

17:25

Now you're above average at it But you don't need to be

17:28

chucking all these threes Do the thing that you're special at You're the fastest

17:32

guy in the league Just go to the rim You could literally get to the rim every

17:35

single play If you wanted to You could either get a layup or go to the line

17:38

Or pull up from 7 feet When they go flying by you like in Top Gun And he just

17:43

hits that little 7 foot shot I just don't understand why he's going away from it,

17:48

Yeah, and I don't know, like, I really like that the defense for some people

17:53

have improved, as we'll talk about here in a little bit.

17:56

But again, the inconsistency is just they're giving me like 2000 Duke vibes.

18:06

Like if they hit their threes, they win. If they don't, they're going to lose by a lot.

18:09

So they got to figure out something besides that. I know that's the new NBA

18:14

is just hoist it and see what happens. But I think they need to make a trade.

18:19

Absolutely do they need somebody bigger to

18:21

play the four keegan is outrageously good i didn't think he was going to be

18:25

good this quick he is i was looking at those advanced stats one of those like

18:31

weird lebron d stats for his on-ball defense he is the best wing defender in

18:37

the league by shooting percentage based on who's guarding and if you look at

18:40

the numbers it looks like. It looks like a nom de awesome law stat line where it's

18:45

just like here's the numbers against Randy Moss and

18:48

it's like no catches that's basically what it looks like when you play Keegan.

18:50

Murray he shut down Luca he shut down basically everybody

18:54

that he's played Donovan Mitchell looked awful when

18:57

the Keegan's guarding him he's guarding Steph full court the whole

19:00

game he's run like 22 miles or however much

19:03

Steph Curry runs and he's still pretty

19:06

efficient on the other end I think he's needs to

19:09

get into better game shape to go full bore on

19:11

defense and still have have something left for offense you could see

19:14

earlier in the year the defense was great but

19:17

all of his shots are coming up short i think he's just winded from having

19:20

to guard the best guy every night yeah it's one of those frustrating

19:23

things is i think he could play the three

19:26

i think he can guard you know anywhere

19:29

from like you said one to four probably on

19:32

most teams so if we could get a

19:35

little length obviously you need a four

19:38

with length who can shoot got to be be able to spread it

19:41

out because saponis will be eating up that space in the middle

19:43

i think every team could add that and

19:46

be happy but i think it's like the pelicans

19:49

have nine of those guys and we have keegan and

19:52

that's it and minnesota yeah the best

19:56

and the raptors they traded two of them and they still have like six more it's

20:00

like where do you find these guys with the seven foot four wings one can we

20:04

get one of them please just uh we'll loan them loan them out we'll give them

20:10

bad let us borrow it for three games and see if it actually fixes the kings

20:13

and then we'll give them right back. Yeah, so I think Barnes has to go, in my opinion. Herter has another one we

20:20

haven't really talked about. Just up and down, all around. I like his defense, though.

20:25

His shooting's okay-ish. The shooting's been hit or miss, mostly miss,

20:31

but at least he is playing defense, which is more than a lot of the team right now.

20:39

Like, Monk is non-existent on defense. Barnes is awful at defense.

20:44

Trey Lyles isn't really that great. He's kind of undersized for what they're trying to ask for him to play five

20:50

or wherever they're trying to get him.

20:53

He should be like, he's like a three and a half, four.

20:58

He's probably a four, I think would be his spot. But I just don't think that

21:03

they're comfortable with any of the other. We have 900 bigs on the bench, but I don't think Brown's comfortable with really

21:09

Len or what's his face? Can't think of his name. McGee's good in spots.

21:15

He'll get rebounds. He's great at that pick and roll with Monk.

21:18

He'll get a block every once in a while. He's a pretty good rebounder,

21:21

but he is a lazy foul waiting to happen.

21:24

And he did like a post-up hook shot from like seven feet. It's like, what are you doing?

21:30

That's what we called for. That's what Brown drew up on the whiteboard,

21:33

obviously. I guess that's part of the deal. Brown's actually, he seems like he's doing a pretty good job.

21:38

Like if you watch the game tonight, they're running the offense.

21:41

They have a million wide open threes and then they go 12 for 40 it's not his

21:46

fault they can't hit a three if they just shoot average they win tonight Miami will get you,

21:52

that's why they don't win there it's too much fun yeah I guess so they sure look tired.

22:00

But again, 3-1 thus far on this seven-game roadie, the longest one of the year.

22:05

Do you have a favorite trade target for the Kings? I heard Jimmy Butler might be available for a trade. I heard that.

22:11

And I think it's only because Kendrick Perkins did a super hot take on Zach

22:16

Lowe's podcast about they should trade Jimmy Butler, and then next day you see all the like...

22:22

Where he would go if they traded him. Right, like it created all this content, like a Stephen A.

22:27

Smith in the morning just says something outrageous, just and then ESPN

22:30

has 12 hours of programming based off reacting reacting to that crazy thing

22:34

he said I would so on those lists the Kings were the third best odds to get

22:40

Jimmy Butler and I think he would fit absolutely because he could fit anywhere

22:46

yeah but if you can imagine him,

22:50

Egan well you might have to give Keegan to get Jimmy Butler I don't know I don't

22:56

think they're They're taking Barnes, Herter, and Mitchell.

22:59

Yeah, they'd have to blow it up. There are still two games over .500.

23:03

They'd have to go on another seven-game losing streak and just be like,

23:06

all right, we're going to go young core.

23:09

Let's trade Kevin Love. Let's trade Jimmy Butler, even though we just went to the finals last year.

23:15

If they get in, that's the scary thing.

23:18

Yeah. When Jimmy wants to play, he's like Jimmy from Seinfeld. Jimmy's good. Yeah.

23:26

All right, well, first writing loss, Kings still playing really well.

23:29

Still eight games above .500. I think they're still a five seed in the West.

23:33

I think they're not quite to that first tier where there's those four teams

23:38

that are all within a game of each other. They can't beat the Pelicans. They can't beat the Clippers.

23:43

They're super matchup dependent, but I mean, they could get lucky.

23:46

They could get the Thunder and then the Timberwolves and then be on their way.

23:51

I don't think they could beat the Timberwolves. Or they play the Clippers and

23:55

they lose in four games in embarrassing fashion.

23:58

Clippers are going to be such a hard out.

24:02

It's a lot of time for those guys to stay healthy still, though.

24:06

That's the thing that you worry about. Same thing with the Suns.

24:08

If the Suns can get healthy, they can start clicking with Booker Durant and Beal.

24:14

As of tonight, the Suns' Big 3 has now played as many games as the Big 3 on the Nets did.

24:21

Did you see simmons came back and then got hurt in his first game sat out tonight

24:26

yeah that guy can't catch a break he got hit in the knee i read a meme that he has unlimited pto,

24:34

yeah that sounds right never works nope all right that's enough king's talk

24:41

i'm a little depressed let's have a little bit of fun here trying all right

24:44

let's move on to food court Files.

24:49

Alright, it's time for the Food Court Files. Alright, Troy, we got a fun one

24:54

for Food Court Files. You brought it back.

24:57

You gave me kind of like a loose idea of what you're doing.

25:01

Loosey goosey. You took that idea and went crazy with it.

25:05

Told me you went crazy. So I did a little bit of research on my own.

25:09

I would like to see what you have in your brain for this. Alright. Alright.

25:14

So basically what we did for Food Court Files this week was we each had to come

25:19

up with a restaurant, had to have a name for the restaurant,

25:22

had to have a theme for the restaurant. You have to have an appetizer list, an entree list, and a dessert list for people

25:31

to travel to come to consume is actually what's in the notes.

25:36

So that's a little shot behind the curtain there for you guys.

25:40

But I'll go first. First, so the name of my restaurant is called Cafe Disco,

25:47

and it's an office-themed restaurant. Of course it is.

25:52

So my appetizers are Ryan's Started the Fire. They're in the starter section. It's a cheese pita.

26:00

There's also another appetizer are cheese balls, but you can't eat them.

26:07

The waiter has to throw them at you, and you have to catch them in your mouth.

26:10

There's also pretzels because at cafe

26:13

disco every day is pretzel day and there's

26:17

also can i get the works yep this

26:20

is it only the works are only the works and then

26:24

there's meatballs to reference when jim

26:27

would just prank dwight and stanley with

26:30

meatballs and they just go home with meatballs balls the only thing that you

26:35

can drink is milk like michael ordered at hooters there's not a margarita machine

26:41

not here just milk that's all that might shy people away but you got to be there.

26:51

Entrees are chicken pot pie and let me rephrase an entire family-sized chicken

26:58

pot pie And the other entree is Kevin's Chili with Undercooked Onions, Pressed Garlic,

27:07

Diced Whole Tomatoes, and Ancho Chilies.

27:10

You can add to either of those bacon. It's grilled on a George Foreman grill.

27:18

And the sides for your entrees are broccoli, but you have to eat it stem first.

27:26

It's a new food for me. Hers chips and beets, because the thought of putting one of your beets in my mouth.

27:37

And then we have two desserts at Cafe Disco.

27:40

We have Fudgy the Whale, and we have Angela's Double Fudge Brownies.

27:46

So that's my restaurant the cafe i'm

27:49

surprised this doesn't exist i would go

27:52

to this restaurant if it did exist we should

27:55

be able to go to scran pennsylvania and go to cafe disco and now taking this

28:00

are there anything that you would add to my menu i know that you said the margarita

28:06

machine there was a lot on there that i was thinking debating like maybe like

28:12

a ham and cheese sandwich, because that's what Jim always ate.

28:15

There's got to be some sort of pie math involved.

28:18

I was going to put Laverne's pie stand on there.

28:22

Pies from there. I was going to also put... What is he? Oh, the gabagool.

28:28

The gabagool, yeah. I was going to put that. There's just so many chicken. Alfredo.

28:36

I've never ate so much Alfredo. No water water though rabies is the fear of

28:42

water i have the chicken breast hold it hold the chicken is that really what

28:48

you want no i want the gourmet hot dog.

28:52

Yeah a lot of good options for the cafe disco watched a few episodes last night

28:58

those are the things that came up get a chicken or fish too for the leftovers

29:03

from the wedding that didn't happen I've been with Jim, I mean, Pam and Roy.

29:08

A lot of good meals. Alfredo's Pizza Cafe.

29:11

There could be pizza as well.

29:14

I like it, Troy. I think it would be a pretty good idea. I'm surprised it doesn't already exist.

29:20

I don't know that for a fact. It could exist. It didn't come up in my research.

29:26

But also, I don't really know how to use a computer.

29:30

So two things could have happened. Mm-hmm. Just check out Wolf. Mm-hmm.

29:37

All right, Troy. I came up with a restaurant as well.

29:40

I didn't know you were going to go office theme. I also went

29:44

office theme no I'm just kidding that's that

29:47

was my thought that you would go that way but now the

29:50

name of my restaurant is called Sahara Breeze

29:54

and I'll go through my menu and when

29:57

you understand what my menu is I want you to jump in

30:00

and once you have a guess as to why I called

30:03

it it's alright so for my appetizers we

30:06

have a lentil soup we have deviled eggs

30:09

and oysters for our entrees we have a we have a chili bar where you can make

30:17

your own chili we have a mexican foods it's kind of a eclectic menu like a cheesecake

30:24

factory we have a mexican food part we have bean burritos we got quesadillas,

30:29

We also have an Italian part, which is lasagna and deep dish pizza.

30:37

We have a full-time bean girl. There's actually three bean girls at my restaurant

30:42

for different types of beans.

30:45

I'm not sure what's going on, but I think the Sahara might be coming out a different end there.

30:51

I think you might have figured it out, Troy.

30:54

The diarrhea breeze. All of the entrees come with a vegetable medley with Brussels

30:59

sprouts, broccoli, and cauliflower. Just clearing it out.

31:07

Our specialty is real ice cream root beer floats. And bran muffins.

31:15

So it's called the Sahara Breeze. My tagline for it is, for when it's not going to happen.

31:22

I like that. Just right. Just a real low pressure date night.

31:26

You're going with a co-worker or somewhere where you don't want anything weird to happen.

31:31

Going to the Sahara Breeze tonight. There's a lot of good options at your restaurant, though. So,

31:36

it's kind of an eclectic menu. Everyone kind of enjoys it.

31:40

Later that evening, you won't really enjoy it. You'll have the Sahara Breeze.

31:45

That's okay. I mean, some of the best meals finish with a little breeze.

31:49

So, you kind of just have to bite the bullet. You know what I mean?

31:53

I like that. Sahara Breeze makes you feel fine.

31:58

Is that a thing? I think that's Summer Breeze.

32:02

Which would also work, but I like Sahara Breeze

32:05

because it was kind of fancy that's fancier

32:08

i thought it was going to be like some like a bunch of

32:11

hot well this is getting weird but i thought like a lot of hot like items like

32:16

peppers and i mean you could throw those in there too you picked up on the theme

32:21

pretty good i i think the bean girl was probably the giveaway no it was everything

32:25

that you said like i i hate deviled eggs.

32:30

I will not touch a double A. So that just made me think that was the way you were going to go.

32:35

I think it'd be kind of fun. Bring somebody there on like a third or fourth date.

32:41

You really want to know who they are as a real person. You put them in this situation.

32:45

I think we put this up on the socials. Would you rather come to the Sahara Breeze

32:49

or would you rather come to Cafe Disco?

32:52

We'll get a little vote out. Make sure, obviously, you're listening to the episode.

32:56

So thank you. Because the Sahara Breeze also has weird lighting and uncomfortable

33:01

chairs, and it's just a little too warm and kind of humid.

33:06

And the bathrooms are out of order.

33:08

But the food is delicious, and it's surprisingly inexpensive because I'm using

33:13

my lottery money. Mm-hmm. Love it.

33:17

All right. I'm so happy to be back with Food Court Files.

33:20

That was a very, very fun little... This is what the show has just been missing.

33:25

And it's just this cleverness from the both of us not having to watch the Kings

33:30

to spare us for the rest of the evening. It's true.

33:34

The Kings are the Sierra Breeze of sports, I want to say. I would agree with that.

33:40

It sounds like a good idea, but you regret it later on.

33:44

Yeah, like three quarters in, you're like, this was an awful idea.

33:50

Why did I have six deviled eggs? All right, Troy. Right. If it's not been weird

33:55

enough, let's get real weird and do some crap. Crap.

34:03

Crap. Crap. Music.

34:16

All right, Troy, let's jump into grab bag. It's like you've got three.

34:21

I think I've got three. Oh, boy.

34:25

Let's have ourselves a grab bag kind of night.

34:29

Yeah. I'll let you go first. You always let me go first. That's so sweet of

34:33

you. Was it youth before obesity or what is this saying?

34:36

I think that's what it is. Probably. I think it was in a book I read.

34:40

All right, so I'm going to not go by this order. I had another one today and

34:45

I should have written it down, but I didn't and I'm kicking myself.

34:47

But this is called the shoe question. The shoe question.

34:51

Okay. All right. If you could only wear one type of shoe the rest of your life,

34:59

which shoe would you choose?

35:02

So I'm talking about like a flip-flop, a running shoe, a dress shoe, etc.

35:09

You can only wear one shoe. So no matter what occasion you're going to,

35:12

whether you're going to a wedding, whether you're going to the beach,

35:18

you're going to wherever. Going on a boat, you can only wear that type of shoe for the rest of your life.

35:24

What shoe are you going with? I'd have to be a solid black running shoe.

35:29

Do you think that would fit all your occasions i

35:32

think so i could still play golf in it i could

35:35

wear it to work you could kind of wear it

35:37

to a wedding that's kind of trendy to wear tennis shoes with your tuxedo or

35:41

whatever the beach would be kind of weird but how often am i going to the beach

35:46

that's true yeah i didn't really i mean weston wears shoes to the beach so it's

35:51

true i feel like when you go to the beach they all try to push you back in the ocean but.

35:57

I think that's a probably a safe pick i was kind of going along those lines,

36:04

I think I'd be able to get away with that, too, at work. I have to have an all

36:08

black or all brown shoe, so mine would have to be one of those colors so I could get away with it.

36:14

I'd probably wear, they would, my work shoes would look hideous at a wedding, though.

36:19

So I just can't go to any more weddings.

36:24

You can't have very many left at this point. You're old now.

36:27

Well, what's nice, too, I mean, if you go to a funeral, I guess,

36:30

as we get older, the black fits in. But everyone would be like,

36:33

why are you wearing a non-slip restaurant shoe to this wedding?

36:39

See, I would miss my shower shoes and flip-flops.

36:43

But I guess, I mean, if you're trying to be... In Sacramento,

36:46

it's tough to not pick flip-flop, but then it's rainy or it's cold.

36:50

You'd be like Jason Kelsey. He wears flip-flops in Buffalo.

36:54

But you can't wear flip-flops to a formal event or work.

37:00

Yeah, he couldn't pick flip-flops. that'd be that'd be wild i mean i could do

37:04

it i think they got some real comfortable ones,

37:08

they're all black your safety department be like yeah it's totally

37:10

fine if you wear shower shoes there's no rules man

37:14

there's no rules yeah i

37:17

don't think that would fly so i think i'd have to go somewhat similar but i

37:21

don't think i'd like it i liked i like the diversity have

37:24

like two different pairs of shoes so i like to switch it up

37:27

can't try i got one for you there's a

37:31

prize on the line you have to

37:34

do this for one whole year the prize

37:37

is a hundred thousand dollars eighty thousand

37:42

dollars four hundred

37:45

dollars you're not

37:48

even the manager of your own fictional bed and breakfast a hundred

37:52

thousand dollars it could be whatever money you want you have

37:55

to do one of these two things and i will let you

37:58

hire year for the entire year do i get rest in between like do i get to sleep

38:03

oh these won't these are just going to be like minor inconveniences but if you

38:08

slip up you get nothing so i have to do it 365 times yes Yes, it was 365 days in a row.

38:17

Okay. Okay, option one, only use the metric system.

38:23

If you use feet or inches or cups or yards or acres, you get nothing.

38:30

Option two, you can only speak with a French accent.

38:36

Oh, I would do the French accent in a heartbeat. For one, I barely even know

38:40

what the metric system is, so I'm already out there.

38:45

I'd have to practice. Do I get to practice either option, though,

38:50

before I start my year or tomorrow?

38:54

You get 24 hours. 24 hours of practice in my French accent.

38:59

So no matter when I talk. Or 24 metric minutes.

39:03

I don't know what those are called. called berets i think

39:06

that's what they're called i might have to do the i'd

39:10

probably stick with the french accent my only

39:13

problem is that's a lot because it's like 24 7

39:17

you know what i mean yeah and how often am

39:19

i metricing i don't know play

39:23

golf yeah i can't use yards but

39:26

i could be be french yeah he's

39:31

a lot of baguettes let me tell you what i think

39:34

that's french i don't know so you go accent i i

39:37

think i would have to go accent but i just worry that i

39:40

would slip up but if i did i'd hopefully how

39:44

about like eight hours a day i had

39:47

to be french and then like two hours a day i could

39:49

be normal 24 hours all

39:53

right 365 straight days of either only using

39:57

the metrics system or only speaking in a french accent i'd

40:00

probably have to go french accent what would

40:03

you go i think i would try the metric system

40:06

one i think i would lose both oh i would definitely lose both but at least i

40:13

think with both we each lose pretty early though it's not like we'd go like

40:17

a hundred days of being french and then all of a sudden hey i think you could

40:22

commit to the the metric system. You just have to think a little bit longer. Yeah, before you talked.

40:28

Do you have to get a range finder that's just metric, though?

40:32

I guess so. Or have a conversion chart?

40:37

That'd be tough yeah i'm going french accent okay

40:41

i think i go metric system okay i've

40:45

had questions somewhat similar to this but

40:49

i think that was like palm trees i can't remember but it's

40:52

a huge storm okay okay wind rain just fire everything going on okay you could

41:03

either be in a a small fishing boat in the middle of a lake.

41:12

Huge lake, like Lake Winnipesaukee or something like that,

41:19

with all this going on, or at the top of a Ferris wheel, and the power doesn't

41:26

work anymore, and you can't climb out.

41:29

You're either stuck in the middle of a lake, or you're stuck at the top of a

41:33

Ferris wheel, with a crazy storm going on. Which one are you choosing?

41:38

I think I would have to pick the fishing boat.

41:42

And you have to have a reasoning. You can't just pick one.

41:45

How long am I in this situation for? It's a 36-hour storm.

41:51

Oh, then give me the... The Ferris wheel's at the top? Yeah, it's stuck at the top. No lightning.

42:00

Okay, then I'll go Ferris wheel. i think that i would be too scared of drowning

42:06

in like a crazy windstorm in a lake i've been in on in a boat when it's really

42:12

windy and it just feels like the boat's gonna capsize plus i'm pretty big is

42:16

it a rowboat because i don't know if i could be in a row it's like a it's like a,

42:20

give you like a 14 foot fishing boat i don't know if that's a big fishing boat,

42:28

No, just right at the storm on the Ferris wheel.

42:31

I'd be too scared of drowning in the storm, like Perfect Storm or Titanic or

42:38

any boat-sinking adventure. I'm going neither.

42:47

Of course. I guess I'd have to go, I don't like heights, I don't really like water, so for me...

42:55

That makes it a good question. that makes it real tough I hate Ferris wheels

43:00

I think I'm going to have to go fishing boat but that would be a miserable 36

43:04

hours because I'd get seasick and be yakking.

43:09

Ferris wheel would be rocking too just the

43:11

thought of that tipping over this is a big ferris wheel

43:14

too it's not like just your run-of-the-mill it's like

43:17

disneyland sized ferris wheel

43:20

so if it fell over i would die yeah obviously

43:24

it's not an easy question does that change

43:28

anything for you no i'd still go ferris wheel

43:31

all right troy this is

43:34

a fictional game of 21 the basketball game

43:37

mm-hmm the entire Kings roster is

43:40

playing in this game mm-hmm by some crazy

43:44

stroke of luck everyone is tied at 19 in this

43:48

version of 21 if you get your bucket you're out and everyone else keeps playing

43:54

like if you get there first your first place and we go all the way through 15

43:58

mm-hmm who's the last man standing who scores last factoring in size and rebounding

44:06

and defense and shooting, because you'd have to get the rebound, take it back out.

44:11

You'd have to be able to score one on score. And then two late, too. Yeah.

44:17

I'm thinking, like, I mean, one to 15, that's a lot.

44:21

There's a lot of guys that are on the end of the bench that I'm not even going

44:24

to factor into this. I'm going to be, like, more one through 10 for me.

44:29

And I'm going to go Davion Mitchell is going to be the last one,

44:33

just due to pure size, the ability to not really create his own shot and score.

44:39

I think that even a guy like Herter will get lucky with a bucket.

44:43

Because what happens when the bucket goes, whoever gets it? What was that?

44:50

So let's say Fox makes it, he gets first place. Who gets the ball then?

44:54

Just whoever grabs it through the net? It's a jump ball.

44:57

So everyone's trying to jump it? Yes, at center court.

45:01

Like a nine-man jump ball yeah okay i'm

45:05

gonna i'm gonna say three flies up no boy mitchell's

45:09

a good pick i think it's harrison barnes trying i don't

45:13

think he is decisive enough to get an old man i mean if he got the ball he doesn't

45:18

have to i just don't think he gets i don't think he gets the ball is the thing

45:23

he's obviously not obviously he has when he can't guard anybody well he already

45:28

He already has 19 points, so he had to do something. He was gifted the 19 points.

45:35

I don't think that's how that game works, to be honest with you.

45:38

Well, everyone's been pretty hot because they all got to 19.

45:40

I think it's Harrison Barnes. I just don't see him creating a turnover or getting a rebound or having the

45:49

tenacity to just take them all. I think he could get a bucket.

45:52

I think he'd be the last one to get the ball.

45:55

Maybe Alex Lenn, but he's tall. He could get it. i don't think i don't think

45:59

mitchell's gonna take barnes when it got down to the final two one-on-one i

46:03

think mitchell get a bucket before mitchell mitchell could get a steal though,

46:08

think he could not anymore he doesn't play defense anymore oh

46:12

that's right he just hoists threes because

46:14

that's what you got him for offer him

46:18

or whatever his name is fair enough i would like to

46:21

watch that though who do you think scores the first bucket in

46:24

the 15-man jump ball he's got to come down with that ball right well well he's

46:29

not going to win it he's never won a jump in his life but he might be able to

46:32

get the ball somehow yeah and he just bully ball he just is like 102 and two

46:38

pump fakes until they all go at the same time and then he lays it in.

46:41

I think that's what would happen. He's just timing it and he's like, oh, that was 13 that time.

46:46

Two more. Okay. My last one. It's called the power couple question.

46:52

Okay. So the most popular couple obviously right now is Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey.

47:01

Going back to the 90s or 2000s, you

47:05

have to make a couple one sport figure

47:08

one musical artist that

47:12

would be bigger than taylor swift and travis

47:15

kelsey right now so you would have to put

47:18

like madonna or michael jackson was yeah it'd

47:21

have to be like michael jordan taylor swift's obviously

47:24

what it have to be like michael jordan in like 1993

47:27

after the dream

47:30

team like peak height where like you can't go outside

47:33

of of his hotel and then he'd have to be dating in

47:37

1992 selena be selena

47:42

would be a good one she was i think it might be madonna she

47:45

died 92 madonna that's like dick tracy

47:48

madonna just thinking about that but

47:51

then i was also thinking like both of those people would be i

47:54

mean madonna's probably not as famous as taylor swift

47:57

is now but michael jordan would be is more popular michael jordan than Travis

48:02

Kelsey so that's what I was trying to think like you have to find that fine

48:06

line because you could go Michael Jordan is dating Princess Diana but that's

48:11

not you're not listening to the game it's a musical person he is a singer.

48:17

What about see this is the other way I went is I went male Michael Jackson the

48:25

most famous person in the world, like who are yeah that's what 19 with michael jacks cheryl miller yeah that's

48:34

the only problem that you go that way carrie strug you could it have to be like

48:38

who's like a gymnast tennis player oh it could be like monica billy jean.

48:46

It's not gonna happen there no idea so but

48:49

michael jackson might be able to just carry that duo he's

48:53

clearly more famous than the two of them i think michael jordan is

48:56

famous enough enough but then you could go like and

48:59

you could find a famous singer what if

49:02

you went this might be weird like i don't know

49:04

how they would actually function but you go

49:07

beyonce okay and

49:10

like lionel messe i don't

49:13

know i pronounced that awful but can you say it again i liked it

49:16

messy and beyonce i

49:19

mean that might give you a little more but i just

49:22

don't think beyonce say i mean she's very popular but sporting

49:26

wise i think if you got one of those soccer players like

49:29

if you went like a spice girl the problem

49:32

is they're both like super charismatic

49:35

like cool people that you want to like watch and.

49:38

See what they're doing i would not care to follow

49:42

the story of final messy or you wouldn't

49:45

i'm not saying you i'm saying

49:48

the most people would follow all of you need like

49:51

a david beckham and like a spice girl or something

49:54

so that the thing that already existed what if

49:59

you went david like david beckham and a posh spice

50:02

or somebody what if you went david beck what years

50:06

would he be in madonna no i

50:09

think michael jordan marilyn spears marilyn

50:12

monroe okay now we're going way back can

50:15

you even name what who would that would be would

50:19

that be 60s yeah 50s 60s

50:23

i couldn't to be honest with you and frank

50:26

sinatra the thing is i don't think people were as popular back then they were

50:32

more popular because there was less going on there's only three tv stations

50:36

the lowest rated tv show when rob lowe started acting he was on the lowest rated

50:41

tv show 19 million people watched every episode.

50:46

Like a high-end sunday football game nothing gets 19 million so what you're

50:52

telling me is there's like 12 celebrities and if you happen to be one of them

50:57

you're the most famous person in the world. Charlie chaplin tell me about

51:02

it there's a guy i would follow i'm a

51:06

mom he does when

51:09

he's of duty athlete singer

51:13

i just thought it was an interesting question like

51:16

if you could just you know make a couple obviously

51:18

they wouldn't obviously be together but you could

51:21

pick a more famous athlete than travis kelsey definitely

51:25

taylor swift's up there that's what i mean i would say that taylor

51:28

swift's probably the michael jackson slash madonna of

51:31

our of this era it'd have have to be

51:34

michael jordan and some singer michael

51:38

jordan and selena i'm telling you in 1992

51:41

let's look at the all right

51:44

this isn't how grab back works though this is the bar room debate

51:47

we don't go on the interwebs come on you're

51:50

cheating this is my show i do whatever i want i don't

51:54

know if that's true but Celine Dion there

51:58

it is his heart will go on that'd be

52:01

a weird one she could date he could date Lisa Left Eye Lopez like Andre Rison

52:07

did that doesn't end well that ends up in a little uh Sahara Breeze Whitney

52:12

Houston oh that might be the couple because Whitney Houston Bobby Bobby Brown

52:18

is, that's a superpower couple.

52:21

But if you could replace Bobby Brown. With Michael Jordan. Get around Michael Jordan. Maybe we get more Whitney Houston years too.

52:29

And we get another Bobby Brown album. And that might push Jordan to not go to baseball.

52:35

And he doesn't get those last three rings. But he got the ring that's most important.

52:40

That's Whitney Houston. Okay, we'll go with that. I think that would do it. Whitney Houston, Michael Jordan.

52:47

I like that. I'm glad that we talked it out I think we figured it out I think

52:52

that would have to be the athlete I wanted Michael Jackson to be with someone

52:55

but I just don't think it's going to work I just don't know enough about,

53:02

1980s female athletes that we could put them with it'd have to be a tennis player,

53:07

or like I said not even soccer or like a gymnast it'd have to be like,

53:12

more an ice skater I just don't think there's enough famous there it is there it is Tanya Harding,

53:19

Nancy Kerrigan and Wayne Gretzky see that's what's hard that's wrong that doesn't

53:26

even work because that's two athletes again Wayne Gretzky no I think Michael

53:33

Jordan is more popular than Wayne Gretzky worldwide,

53:36

Harrison Barnes. Wait a minute and Kesha yeah,

53:45

How do you feel about Lisa Loeb? And Scooter Smith.

53:50

There it is. We did it. All right. Nailed it. We did it. Shut it down,

53:54

Troy. All right. What's your last one you got?

53:57

Let's just end it there. I think that was good. I'll save this one for next

54:01

one. That was a good question, Troy. I like that one.

54:04

I just thought it was topical. I don't think we'll ever really talk about Taylor

54:09

Swift and Travis Kelsey on our show. I think we will again next week. I promise you.

54:14

It will happen oh because he's got a question about it no probably because it's

54:19

the super bowl's coming up and it'll be a whole segment we'll just have to create

54:23

it get the swifties involved why not i think that's the only way this popularity

54:28

grows we just talk eris tour,

54:32

i love it i'm in what is your favorite taylor swift album i'm gonna have to

54:37

pass on that but you should listen to i see you by coco jones.

54:44

Is coco jones a guy or a girl the

54:47

girl okay so coco jones but i i thought

54:50

she was uh dwight howard she gets cooking in the middle of the song and i thought

54:54

it was justin timberlake so that's how you know it's good i had to look i'm

54:58

like how come it doesn't say featured by justin timberlake but it was just her

55:03
