Michigan alum Rich weighs in on his Wolverines' chances to end their decade-long losing streak to Big Ten archrivals The Ohio State Buckeyes. (timestamp).      Rich and Brockman play a round of ‘What's More Likely' – The Raiders beat the Cowboys or the Saints beat the Bills, the Bears fire Matt Nagy or the Giants score 30 on the Eagles under new Offensive Coordinator Freddie Kitchens, if the 49ers or Vikings are more likely to make the playoffs, if the Bengals or Steelers are more likely to make the playoffs, if the Rams or Packers are more likely to be the NFC #1 seed, if the Patriots or Titans are more likely to be the AFC's #1 seed, and if it's more likely Michigan beats Ohio State or Alabama doesn't make the College Football Playoff.   Academy Award-winning actor J.K. Simmons and Rich discuss his upcoming movie ‘National Champions' where he plays a college football head coach and his portrayal of the actor William Frawley who played Fred Mertz on ‘I Love Lucy' in another upcoming film, and why he's fully confident that his Ohio State Buckeyes will continue their dominance of Rich's Michigan Wolverines.     Rich reacts to Mets owner Steven Cohen taking to Twitter to whine about losing free agent Steven Matz to the St. Louis Cardinals.    Learn more about your ad choices.

The website for the restaurant http://www.mbcshack.com has a great photo of them on the front page. Mounting a Security Camera can be an easy task to accomplish however if you aren’t good on a ladder this can be something left to the professional. It’s also not good if Angry Birds attack.

Andy shares his recent attempts to adjust his services with Xfinity and relays some of the headaches. Justin shares a solution with http://www.emailtheboss.org. Andy talks about the channel he doesn’t want to lose, Hallmark, because of the smiles I Love Lucy brings. The genius of Fred Mertz is discussed.
