Speaker 1 Today is Wednesday, February 26th, and it's Combine Week.

Speaker 18 We're live from Indy in a conference room.

Speaker 24 It's Combine Week. The most magical city in Indiana.
Yes. Indianapolis.
That's facts. There's magic on these streets.
Yes.

Speaker 9 So we have Combine Week.

Speaker 31 We have news coming out of the

Speaker 38 league.

Speaker 1 The Tush Push is being voted on to be banned, led by the Packers.

Speaker 24 An unnamed team has requested that the NFL change the Tush Push rule. That unnamed team is the Green Bay Packers.

Speaker 1 The Green Bay Packers are being salty bitches about it.

Speaker 24 They're being salty about it. And for the record,

Speaker 24 I'm against banning the Tush Push. This is the Ravens.

Speaker 43 It's John Harbaugh all over again.

Speaker 42 Yeah.

Speaker 24 you could stop the tush push you could try to stop it yeah you could also stop them on first second or third down or you could just try jumping over the line of scrimmage infinity times in a row to try to stop it keep the tush push but also allow teams to do that i also feel like the bills in the afc championship game like there's a pretty good like evidence against banning the tush push yeah

Speaker 46 because it just doesn't work

Speaker 24 the weird part about it is the bills were the other team besides the eagles that used that play the most of the season yeah and it worked for them until the playoffs. Until it didn't.

Speaker 24 And then it didn't work. And now Sean McDermott is like, yeah, I think I'm in favor of banning the play now.

Speaker 47 Well, it's just, I saw someone being like, how do you stop this?

Speaker 15 It's like, well, don't let them get to fourth and two or fourth and one.

Speaker 24 That's a way to stop it. How do you stop it? Hit the weight room.
Yeah.

Speaker 9 Max, what do you think about people trying to ban the tush push?

Speaker 51 Loser mentality. They're all a bunch of pussies.

Speaker 51 The Eagles are the best at it. They work on it a lot.
They practice it a lot. They have the right guys to do it.

Speaker 51 I don't know why you would punish a team for just being better at one play than the rest of the league.

Speaker 53 Well said. Yeah.

Speaker 24 I mean, they banned the slam dunk when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was throwing it down too much. That's true.

Speaker 21 So.

Speaker 24 Maybe they'll bring it back.

Speaker 1 I think it's stupid.

Speaker 37 I think it sets a bad precedent of being like, we have to ban.

Speaker 1 Maybe the only thing I would say is if you would want to

Speaker 37 ban being able to push

Speaker 31 players from behind because that was the rule for a while.

Speaker 24 So you yeah, but you're talking about just let them do normal quarterback sneaks but yeah normal quarterback sneaks yeah the rule for a while was that you weren't allowed to assist a ball carrier you couldn't have like a lineman or tight end grab somebody and push them forward right like the uh the matt liner reggie bush push yeah that would have been illegal at one point but then they took that out because they said it was too hard to officiate i don't think it's that hard to officiate i don't think so either if you clearly see it then you can call it but and i think it would actually i think the eagles would still be able to do it even without the push yeah i think that their their offensive line is that good and jalen hurts is that good that they would still be able to do it And I'm in a great spot here because I'm firmly saying that I'm anti-banning the tush push, but I'm also going to be really, really happy when they do decide to ban it.

Speaker 15 Do you think they're going to ban it?

Speaker 24 I think they might.

Speaker 41 I think they might.

Speaker 51 They did this last year, too.

Speaker 21 They do this every year.

Speaker 41 Every game win the Super Bowl last year. Yeah, there's more of a way different.

Speaker 24 They don't ban nobody.

Speaker 60 We also have Matthew Stafford looking for $50 million somewhere.

Speaker 21 Me too.

Speaker 7 We all are. Yeah.

Speaker 24 Kirk Cousins found $50 million to be a backup.

Speaker 43 It's true.

Speaker 5 He's more likely to probably get paid $50 million than any of us, but

Speaker 64 where is he going to go?

Speaker 24 I think the Giants.

Speaker 65 Why not the Steelers?

Speaker 24 That'd be fun. Is that Aaron Rodgers?

Speaker 24 I'm thinking if we're doing quarterback musical chairs this offseason, I think it's going to be Stafford in New York.

Speaker 24 I think it's going to be Aaron Rodgers, Los Angeles.

Speaker 66 I think it's Sam Darnold, Los Angeles.

Speaker 24 Stafford, New York, Rodgers, Vikings.

Speaker 58 Rodgers, probably the Steelers or the Titans.

Speaker 24 I don't know how Mike. Do you think Mike Tomlin would enjoy it? I think Mike Tomlin, he does like having

Speaker 24 personalities to juggle on his team. Yeah.
At this point, we can say that Mike Tomlin, he's done a very good job in the past of having some absolute psychos on his team.

Speaker 24 Now it's to the point where I think he actually enjoys it. He gets off on it.

Speaker 57 Yeah, he needs it to get out of bed.

Speaker 15 It's too bad that the Colts seem like they're done with getting old quarterbacks because that used to be like they just took a job.

Speaker 62 Like jobs are being taken taken away all across America. That's the Colts have done that with old quarterbacks.

Speaker 24 Yeah, I feel like that would have been the logical Kirk Cousins swan song.

Speaker 42 It could have been Stafford, Kirk Cousins, or Rogers. Yeah.

Speaker 45 Like, come on, come on, Ballard.

Speaker 71 You know, you want to.

Speaker 72 You know, you want to stop gap. Right.

Speaker 42 Do it, dude.

Speaker 24 So, as it stands right now, Kirk Cousins, they've said that he's not going to be traded or anything. He's going to be a $50 million backup on the Falcons.

Speaker 21 On the Falcons.

Speaker 24 Congratulations to Kirk Cousins. What a move.
$100 million, guaranteed, signed last offseason.

Speaker 24 Then they ended up drafting his replacement. Then he got hurt allegedly.
Then Pennix just took his job. That's incredible.
$100 million to not work. That's the American dream.

Speaker 24 But the Falcons also said that they were never informed of any injury from Kirk Cousins. What do you mean?

Speaker 24 So after the season was over, Kirk's camp let leak out there. Yeah, I was dealing with a bunch of shoulder, elbow,

Speaker 73 things like that.

Speaker 24 The Falcons are like, this is the first we've heard of it.

Speaker 1 I think it was just that he's old and had an Achilles injury.

Speaker 24 He might be old.

Speaker 59 And that's, it's hard to come.

Speaker 15 I mean, we're talking about two guys, Aaron Rodgers and Kirk Cousins, who were both old and had an Achilles injuries, and they weren't totally themselves afterwards.

Speaker 24 Aaron Rodgers, top-five quarterback.

Speaker 33 That's true, top five quarterback for sure.

Speaker 15 Also, Miles Garrett, the Browns have no plan on trading him, which I feel like they have to say.

Speaker 67 They just have to go through the motions of saying this, and then someone's going to make them an offer they can't refuse, and then they'll trade him.

Speaker 24 It sounds like maybe the birds. Yeah.

Speaker 17 We also had

Speaker 57 the GM for the Ravens said that Justin Tucker allegations are concerning.

Speaker 53 I'd agree.

Speaker 24 They're real.

Speaker 56 That is concerning.

Speaker 24 They're waiting for the facts to come out.

Speaker 73 That's concerning.

Speaker 24 So if true that he allegedly.

Speaker 43 Nothing on the Steve Smith ban thing?

Speaker 24 No, that's not concerning.

Speaker 43 No, no statement?

Speaker 1 No, I don't think so.

Speaker 37 I think they probably were like, listen to part of my take on Monday.

Speaker 60 They covered it for 45 minutes.

Speaker 59 More than enough on it.

Speaker 23 Yeah, I mean,

Speaker 24 in a perverse way, this is probably the best team that the Steve Smith thing could have happened to because they've got bigger fish to fry on. Yeah.

Speaker 76 Yeah.

Speaker 24 But he's not going to be the biggest pervert on the team.

Speaker 13 I mean, Justin Zucker,

Speaker 77 he's not going to play again, is he?

Speaker 73 Yeah, it's the NFL.

Speaker 21 We're waiting for all the fast to come up.

Speaker 78 We're waiting for all the fasts.

Speaker 21 Are you kidding me? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 24 When we said he was washed, we didn't know that it was a table shower. Yeah.

Speaker 17 Also,

Speaker 60 we had Aaron Glenn said players upset over Aaron Rodgers' decision.

Speaker 67 What's going on there, memes?

Speaker 57 Players are upset that they got rid of Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 45 Which players?

Speaker 45 Quinn and Williams had a thumbs down.

Speaker 35 Wait, Quinn Williams posted a thumbs down emoji on X when word of the team

Speaker 7 did a thumbs up.

Speaker 68 That is such a 2025 story.

Speaker 17 Like, hey, new coach, can you please address the fact that one of your players did a thumbs down emoji?

Speaker 18 Yeah, he did the thumbs down, and

Speaker 79 he talked to Quinn Williams, and they're going to keep that conversation in-house.

Speaker 31 Okay, but the thumbs down was not in-house.

Speaker 80 The thumbs down got out.

Speaker 1 The thumbs down got out of house.

Speaker 25 Yeah.

Speaker 51 Sometimes you just tweet thumbs down.

Speaker 24 You don't know what it's about. I don't think you know what the meaning of in-house is.

Speaker 81 Yeah.

Speaker 31 That's the most not in-house thumbs down I've ever seen.

Speaker 24 It was reactionary. Like if it was in-house, he would have posted that to Slack.

Speaker 76 Right.

Speaker 55 Or he would have gone private.

Speaker 61 Or he would have done it just in a DM to a random person.

Speaker 13 Or he just would have walked around his house just going like this.

Speaker 7 Yeah.

Speaker 21 That's in-house.

Speaker 46 If he just walked around his apartment just being like and his like wife or a girlfriend's like what are you doing it's like can't even talk about it upset about a rod can't even talk about it i'm just thumbs downing

Speaker 69 yeah

Speaker 24 it's in-house now uh speaking of a rod he might he might get leagued what you see his half-court shot

Speaker 24 court shot it's pretty fucked now for 10k for a kid yeah it's pretty awesome sign him up yeah hey it's pft PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 1 All right, speaking of the league, the association, Max, you are back.

Speaker 15 I know we talked about it briefly on Monday's show, but new reports came out that Joe Embiid could undergo a meniscus replacement procedure or a procedure where doctors break a bone in the hip to realign the joint and alleviate pressure.

Speaker 80 He He should just retire.

Speaker 51 Disagree.

Speaker 51 He wants to play. He's a competitor.

Speaker 23 He's got to do whatever he takes to get higher.

Speaker 24 Which would you prefer your star player have? A meniscus procedure or that they break a bone in his hip to alleviate knee pain?

Speaker 43 That sounds horrible.

Speaker 51 Yeah, meniscus sounds better, but who knows? This could be some groundbreaking.

Speaker 51 We've seen the meniscus surgery before, and he's still diserged.

Speaker 21 No, but this one was called Radical.

Speaker 24 Radical meniscus.

Speaker 41 So what does that even mean?

Speaker 24 His recovery's on a skateboard. Yeah,

Speaker 24 he's got to wear some stusi.

Speaker 1 The same sixer who made orbital bone fracture and

Speaker 9 navicular bone fracture common phrases in Philadelphia sports lexicon.

Speaker 34 He's had two of each.

Speaker 69 He had two of each of those?

Speaker 7 Damn.

Speaker 35 Might soon add one of these, meniscus replacement, low-dose radiation therapy, or even the ominous sounding osteotomy, osteotomy, in which doctors break a bone in the hip to realign the joint to alleviate pressure.

Speaker 22 One source called the procedures radical in light of the mundane injury and surgery that brought Embiid to this point.

Speaker 35 For some reason, what should have been a routine rehab and routine return to play has gone horribly wrong.

Speaker 83 Oof.

Speaker 53 Oof, correct. I don't know if that's a good idea.

Speaker 51 That's a big oof.

Speaker 64 Yeah.

Speaker 24 Breaking a bone to alleviate a different set of pain that you're having sounds

Speaker 63 radical.

Speaker 79 It sounds radical.

Speaker 24 Either radical or it sounds like something you would do in the 1800s. Like a Civil War injury.
Oh, you got shot in your pelvis. No worries.
We're just going to take a sledgehammer to your foot.

Speaker 24 That way you won't feel your head.

Speaker 44 Oh, you're a witch.

Speaker 60 Let's just break your bone, your hip real quick and see if you can survive.

Speaker 25 You guys are doctors.

Speaker 84 You don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 85 I don't know what you're talking about. I'm pretty good.

Speaker 21 Maybe it'll help.

Speaker 24 We'll break your hip. If your knee recovers, it means you're a witch and we have to kill you.
Yes.

Speaker 35 Yeah, we're going to break your hip, and if you can still drop 20 and 10, then you're a witch.

Speaker 22 Yeah,

Speaker 85 I don't know what you want me to say.

Speaker 43 How fit are you feeling, Max? Huh? How fit are you feeling?

Speaker 41 Yeah, how was the fitness vacation?

Speaker 23 Fitness vacation was good.

Speaker 51 Yeah, I'm pretty tired.

Speaker 24 Any yard sales?

Speaker 51 I don't know what that means.

Speaker 43 It's when you fall and all of your equipment goes everywhere. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 73 And there's just a

Speaker 51 bunch there was at one point I accidentally went down a black, like a and

Speaker 86 pause.

Speaker 21 Okay.

Speaker 51 I went down a black diamond. I fell almost immediately, and then I couldn't get my ski back on because the mountain was so steep.
So I just went down stomach first like a penguin.

Speaker 21 That's the yard site.

Speaker 85 Oh, yeah, I love to see that.

Speaker 51 I was sledding on my stomach.

Speaker 43 The skis weren't even attached.

Speaker 51 So I was holding them, and then I dropped them because I was going so fast. And some nice fellow behind me got them for me and brought them down to the bottom of the mountain.

Speaker 71 How was the snow?

Speaker 51 It was okay. It was warm.

Speaker 84 It was like people were there.

Speaker 51 People were skiing with their shirts off, not me.

Speaker 87 It was the best.

Speaker 25 It was like 50s.

Speaker 50 A little slushy. Good powder.
Yeah.

Speaker 22 Nice.

Speaker 84 Yeah, it was fun. Cool.

Speaker 7 I love that for you.

Speaker 88 Yeah, no, I had a good time.

Speaker 63 Your vacation.

Speaker 22 I feel fit. On non-vacation week.

Speaker 24 Do you miss

Speaker 73 vacation?

Speaker 43 Hat tip.

Speaker 46 Did you take vacation when we were.

Speaker 76 I was vacation.

Speaker 21 That is wrong.

Speaker 84 I work when you guys do vacation week.

Speaker 46 You did? On what?

Speaker 27 Yes.

Speaker 21 When you work on the podcast.

Speaker 21 We still don't.

Speaker 69 We don't miss any shows. That's true.

Speaker 72 That's a good point.

Speaker 24 Thank you for your service, man. Good point, man.

Speaker 51 Thank you.

Speaker 7 Are you worried about oldie at all?

Speaker 51 Am I what? Worried about oldie.

Speaker 84 No, I don't know.

Speaker 21 Memes fucked me on all the captions.

Speaker 51 He just kept saying new producer.

Speaker 51 And I had family members reaching out to me, asking if I got replaced.

Speaker 31 Sounds like you're not worried at all.

Speaker 51 I wasn't worried until Meme just kept saying new producer.

Speaker 24 Yeah, no, he had the X Factor.

Speaker 51 Oldie's great.

Speaker 21 He's a great character.

Speaker 51 I want him to be a part of this show

Speaker 51 very much going forward. I just don't want him to take my job.

Speaker 24 X Factor, though.

Speaker 43 Yeah, maybe

Speaker 43 switch him to social.

Speaker 76 What?

Speaker 41 Oh, yeah, good point.

Speaker 63 Oh, he could do some memes.

Speaker 24 I would love to see Oldie signing memes. I bet he'd be great at it.

Speaker 47 That's a good point.

Speaker 43 We should give him the account and have him sign his name.

Speaker 7 Oldie.

Speaker 7 Yeah, let's give him him a run-through.

Speaker 24 Max, do you want Miles Garrett?

Speaker 73 Of course I want Miles Garrett.

Speaker 7 Okay.

Speaker 50 How bad do you want him?

Speaker 51 As bad as Howie Roseman wants him. That's my answer.

Speaker 43 Would you rather have the tush push or Miles Garrett?

Speaker 51 Miles Garrett, we would just sneak it.

Speaker 90 Would you go down on another black?

Speaker 51 I went down a black diamond. I fell.

Speaker 43 You can go down to a black diamond for Miles Garrett.

Speaker 21 Oh, yeah, for sure. Okay.

Speaker 51 I would, yeah.

Speaker 25 I would go double black diamond.

Speaker 85 Double black diamond?

Speaker 21 PFT. You don't ski.

Speaker 77 I I don't know. So you wouldn't even

Speaker 77 think about it. I don't know how to do that.

Speaker 42 Sounds like he wants Miles Garrett.

Speaker 24 I mean, this is what was concerning me about the report. It was that the commanders are looking to make a strong offer.
But if they do, the Eagles are set to make an offer that he can't refuse.

Speaker 73 Ooh,

Speaker 21 Big Dom.

Speaker 24 It sounds like Big Dom is like, no, I'm going to leave a horsehead in here. Yeah.

Speaker 68 That's Big Dom. This is always for life.

Speaker 24 This is why I'm terrified of having Big Dom in the division because he can make trades like that happen.

Speaker 77 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay, do we miss any other stories? Anything else going on?

Speaker 5 Combine week, anything important?

Speaker 71 I don't think so.

Speaker 13 We got Hot Sea Cool throne, then Ben Johnson, then Guys on Chicks, Combine Week.

Speaker 18 Memes is getting memes, I think memes is getting a little extra zesty right now because he knows he's got Rossini coming up tomorrow. He's fired up, he's getting his reps in.

Speaker 24 Although he did apparently see Rossini today and didn't say anything, just kind of swallowed his mic.

Speaker 91 Oh, no,

Speaker 43 he probably tweeted something.

Speaker 24 Yeah, I've been told that memes saw her, made eye contact, and then did not say a single word.

Speaker 12 I said hello, and then i then i didn't say a word how did you chill what did she say uh she said oh hey guys hug no she gave max a hug uh memes when she comes by tomorrow you should just thumbs down her the whole time just keep your thumbs down the whole time i'm in keep it in-house uh okay let's uh kick it to ourselves hot seat cool throne then bears head coach ben johnson then guys on chicks the pro football football show is presented by the chevy silverado built for the hustle ready for the game chevy silverado is america's most dependable full-size truck.

Speaker 42 Hank, hot seat cool to own.

Speaker 43 My hot seat are planes.

Speaker 21 Why?

Speaker 43 There was another, although I guess maybe they're on the cool throne because, you know, everyone's freaking out about planes. Planes are crashing.
What's going on with all the planes?

Speaker 43 Today at Midway airport in Chicago, a southwest plane was coming down to land.

Speaker 43 It basically got to the ground and then it had to pull back up because there was a private jet like a hundred feet in front of them. That if it had landed, it would have just went straight into it.

Speaker 73 Runway incursion.

Speaker 44 Yeah. They did

Speaker 24 another close call took off one round fact check safer to fly than ever

Speaker 93 source fact check source reality

Speaker 43 reality he just is there any stats to back because because last time i checked we've had one plane land flip over almost kill the entire flight

Speaker 21 hadn't seen that before is there

Speaker 12 is there a chance so far any good landing is one that you can walk away from that was a great landing is there a chance though hank it's like when you buy a car and then you see see that car everywhere you are acutely aware of plane near misses no so now you're seeing them a lot more could be that no it's actually it happened on the way down to indy stephen chee who is uh 38 years old and uh was born yesterday uh was enamored by the fact that there was an oversized load car basically you know behind what was an oversized oversized load on the highway he's like i've never seen that before.

Speaker 17 Again, I don't know how that's possible.

Speaker 1 We then saw it three times and had a discussion about Stephen Che's semen load and how it's still okay after the vasectomy. That probably is what's happening here.

Speaker 47 I don't know how that applies to Stephen Che's cum, but you get what I'm saying.

Speaker 24 No, Hank shoots an oversized load anytime he sees a video of a plane almost crashing. Yeah, now it's to the point where Hank almost enjoys the plane crash.

Speaker 24 You're just looking at it because you're just seeing it more. And the fact is, Hank, this is so

Speaker 24 false. January of 2025, fewer plane incidents than January of 2024.
Wow.

Speaker 50 Source? How about that?

Speaker 24 Reality. The source is the documented worldwide incidence of plane crashes.
Wait, when did that plane crash in D.C.?

Speaker 24 February. I don't recall.

Speaker 50 I think that was February.

Speaker 42 But you are seeing more.

Speaker 24 January.

Speaker 24 You are seeing more. No, I mean, thanks to Big Cat.

Speaker 43 I've been chilling out harder than ever.

Speaker 43 Have you? I'm just living. Yeah, I don't look for these things.
They get sent to me.

Speaker 12 Well, yeah, I mean, I want you to be aware.

Speaker 43 No,

Speaker 43 I just want to live.

Speaker 12 So you don't want me to send you any like if

Speaker 74 like a thousand dolphins decide to beach themselves on a remote island, you don't want me to send it?

Speaker 43 No, I'm a hollow.

Speaker 24 What about if like a huge flock of birds just flies into the Empire State Building?

Speaker 43 That's just life, man. Yeah.

Speaker 12 What about if the Empire State Building tweets something and then has to delete it?

Speaker 43 Live and let live. Okay.
All right.

Speaker 24 I mean, you're the one that put planes on the hot seat.

Speaker 24 Now you're saying like, just just chill out. Which one is it?

Speaker 43 What was the first one? No, I mean, I learned from my big bro, big cat. Like, just

Speaker 43 chill out, man. Nothing can do about it.

Speaker 21 We're all along for the ride.

Speaker 43 Nothing matters.

Speaker 43 Just enjoy while you can, you know.

Speaker 24 How about a little respect for the pilots of Southwest? Choose to be happy. That was a great move on their part.

Speaker 50 Yeah.

Speaker 43 Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So I really should put them on the cool throne.

Speaker 69 Don't worry, be happy.

Speaker 41 Kuna Matata. Yep.

Speaker 43 And then my cool throne is Timothy Chamelay.

Speaker 7 Oh, okay.

Speaker 43 He won a SAG Award.

Speaker 43 And then I just liked it. I liked the speech.
He gave a good speech after. He won a SAG Award.

Speaker 43 And he's like, you know, a lot of times it's when, you know, athletes and actors, they go up there, you know, I just want to thank God and I'm just so blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 43 He kind of was just like, yeah, I want to be one of the greats.

Speaker 20 I'm going hard. He hates God.

Speaker 41 Yeah.

Speaker 71 He's having a moment.

Speaker 24 He is.

Speaker 26 He's a Chinese.

Speaker 24 Did he say who he liked in Mississippi State, Alabama?

Speaker 56 He did not.

Speaker 24 It would have been nice. It would have been nice.
It would have been nice. But he is.

Speaker 25 Is he the answer for like

Speaker 55 he could be the answer?

Speaker 34 Because we've had this discussion before, but like, who is like a front-of-the-poster movie star right now?

Speaker 24 Army Hammer.

Speaker 60 It's Army Hammer.

Speaker 47 It's like Tom Cruise.

Speaker 24 Did you hear about Army Hammer's movie that he's doing? Yeah.

Speaker 56 Is he eating people?

Speaker 24 It's called The Dark Knight.

Speaker 89 Wait, is he back?

Speaker 53 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I thought he was selling real estate in the Bahamas.

Speaker 24 No, he's back.

Speaker 20 He's doing a movie.

Speaker 24 It's called The Dark Knight. It's a movie about a vigilante superhero kind of guy, and it's not related to Batman.

Speaker 58 Army Hammer, shout out Army Hammer, because he basically has proven, like, when everyone's like, I'm getting canceled, you should be like, dude, the guy actively wanted to eat people, and he's back.

Speaker 24 Yeah, it was satire.

Speaker 45 Are you King Shaman now?

Speaker 5 No, I'm not. I'm actually doing the opposite.

Speaker 31 I'm literally doing the opposite.

Speaker 86 I'm like, dude, if he can do it.

Speaker 24 My favorite fact about Army Hammer, it weirds me out every time I relearn this one. His grandfather was the CEO of Armin Hammer.

Speaker 24 But his grandfather,

Speaker 41 his grandfather's name was Armin Hammer.

Speaker 7 Armin Hammer.

Speaker 24 He was the CEO of Armin Hammer, but he wasn't the founder of Armin Hammer. Whoa.
So his name was Armin Hammer.

Speaker 24 The company Arm and Hammer came out, and everybody was like, dude, you should buy this company because it's your name. And then he ended up buying the company.
That's sick.

Speaker 24 So he is kind of the heir to the Armin Hammer franchise, but they didn't find it. Wow.

Speaker 94 I had a fun fact that I forgot.

Speaker 58 I think I knew it, but that

Speaker 47 Tony Hawk's grandson is also Kirk Cobain's grandson.

Speaker 62 Yeah. That's pretty cool.

Speaker 72 That's pretty cool.

Speaker 57 He posted something about it, but that's the coolest kid that's ever been created.

Speaker 24 His name, Mike?

Speaker 72 I don't know what his name is.

Speaker 24 Mike Hawk?

Speaker 95 Mike Hawk, yeah.

Speaker 56 Very good name.

Speaker 77 What is his name?

Speaker 73 What are you looking at?

Speaker 41 Max loves that one.

Speaker 56 He loved it.

Speaker 24 Well, Max is still fucked up from his fitness figures.

Speaker 51 All right. Sorry, I'm not allowed to laugh.

Speaker 45 No, no, it's okay.

Speaker 56 I like it. We got a little hungover Max from the fitness figure.

Speaker 24 Maybe we can do a little remix of the outro song with some John Summit. Make you feel like you're still on vacay.
Yeah.

Speaker 47 Summit crushed it, dude.

Speaker 13 How many times did you do this on your vacation, Max?

Speaker 73 A whole lot of that. Yeah.

Speaker 51 Mostly that.

Speaker 12 That was your big thing move.

Speaker 23 What are you looking up, Hank?

Speaker 43 I'm reading about the Hammer family.

Speaker 20 It is crazy, isn't it?

Speaker 43 Their grandfather was accused of murder in 1955.

Speaker 21 Oh, okay.

Speaker 84 But did he eat the body?

Speaker 43 I don't know, but he was separately accused of sexual abuse by his daughter.

Speaker 75 Ooh.

Speaker 21 Okay. All right.

Speaker 7 Cool.

Speaker 68 That's some light stuff.

Speaker 7 All right, PFT.

Speaker 24 My hot seat is Bonnie Blue.

Speaker 24 She is a liar.

Speaker 24 She lied to us.

Speaker 44 No.

Speaker 24 She's not actually pregnant.

Speaker 12 You mean Bonnie Blue, who fucked a thousand dudes?

Speaker 24 Faked pregnancy. What? You think you know somebody.

Speaker 2 But is at least Lily pregnant?

Speaker 24 We're still unclear about that one.

Speaker 41 Okay. I'm going to get...

Speaker 21 I think one of them is pregnant.

Speaker 24 It's like Magic and Bird.

Speaker 58 I think her friend got pregnant, and then she did like the really shitty friend move and be like, oh, I'm pregnant too.

Speaker 24 Well, what she claims she did was she said that she said she was pregnant. to get more money on her OnlyFans account, and then she used that money to pay for her friend's fertility treatment.
Ah.

Speaker 24 IVF, because the price of eggs going way up.

Speaker 34 So there is a pregnancy.

Speaker 24 Someone is about to be pregnant. Got it.
And I think the other girl, Lily, I think she might be pregnant, but now, since it's like a boy who cried wolf situation.

Speaker 24 So now, since, but she only fucked 100 guys, right? Yeah, I think so. So probably not pregnant.

Speaker 18 Elon should really lean into it and just put a Rocket Baby in Bonnie Blue.

Speaker 7 I agree.

Speaker 12 I mean, that would be if he, if people are going to just trash him, might as well just go all the way.

Speaker 57 Yeah.

Speaker 94 She's being like, boom, Rocket Baby with the thousand chick guy.

Speaker 47 I agree.

Speaker 43 The thousand dude guy What do you for our listeners? I mean obviously I'm really good with this stuff, but IVF

Speaker 46 Yeah

Speaker 24 is fertility stuff to help fertility traffic have have babies if you can't have it inter vitro fertilization

Speaker 69 You got it.

Speaker 21 Yeah, yeah, you know

Speaker 24 they used to call them test tube babies

Speaker 43 You know that yeah, it makes sense.

Speaker 24 It's where they take you you like nut into a bottle and then the girl nuts into a bottle and then you mix girl mother.

Speaker 24 You stir stir them around girl they get the little whisk thing with eggs they whisk it you froth it baby gets and then and then you have to water it and then put it in sunlight and then boom baby it's pretty cool but yeah so bonnie blue liar yeah couldn't well i guess cool throne paul bissinet yeah he can still munch that bin yeah Although I think maybe hot seat Paul Bissinet because there was a chance he was going to maybe be a father.

Speaker 24 He would have been the dad who stepped up.

Speaker 27 Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 7 All right.

Speaker 24 My cool throne is Gronk.

Speaker 41 Yes.

Speaker 24 Hank, did you hear about this? I did.

Speaker 24 So there was a report today amongst the Denver media that Rob Gronkowski is considering a return to the NFL and that he would like to potentially play for the Denver Broncos.

Speaker 21 Wow.

Speaker 43 Did you real? No, 0.0.

Speaker 43 The report from some random account, it was the

Speaker 43 like facts they were going off of was that Gronk worked with Sean Payton last year

Speaker 43 or on Fox the year before, and he likes Bonex.

Speaker 24 Okay. Well, I think there was a little bit more to it than that, Hank.

Speaker 76 Was to tell.

Speaker 24 Why would that report just come out? They've worked together way in the past.

Speaker 43 Is there more that I missed?

Speaker 24 League sources tell me four-time Super Bowl champion

Speaker 24 Rob Brinkowski is considering returns to the NFL.

Speaker 24 He worked with Sean Payton and Fox, and I'm told he loves Denver.

Speaker 69 You left that part out.

Speaker 21 Oh, you left that part out.

Speaker 27 He did.

Speaker 4 So you were being, you were trying to get out of here.

Speaker 43 I forgot that that he loves Denver.

Speaker 2 Which there's no way that's true.

Speaker 69 You lose. Because they lost.

Speaker 24 You very conveniently left out two major parts of the support. One, he loves Denver.
This guy's half.

Speaker 24 The guy was told that he loves Denver.

Speaker 73 That's told. And also,

Speaker 24 two of his brothers, Dan and Chris, have short stints to the team.

Speaker 78 So, there you go.

Speaker 4 So there's clearly history.

Speaker 21 There's a big pattern there.

Speaker 43 No, Dan was on the team for like a year, and I don't even think Chris was on the team for a full year. But yeah, loves Denver.

Speaker 24 Well, Denversports.com is a lot of fun.

Speaker 73 Maybe a couple of names Dan was on the team for that.

Speaker 47 I do like the the idea of Gronk retiring and then being like, man, my body feels good, and then just keep coming back

Speaker 21 until he's like 60.

Speaker 43 He's also like the ultimate, like, responsible with his money guy. Never spent any of his playing money, only spends his sponsorship money, has a trillion sponsors.
Like, he does not need the money.

Speaker 56 No, neither is his football.

Speaker 41 No reason.

Speaker 59 No, he doesn't.

Speaker 42 He loves Denver.

Speaker 75 And he loves Denver.

Speaker 85 He loves Denver.

Speaker 1 You're forgetting the Denver pups.

Speaker 43 I did. I was, I forgot.
I forgot about that.

Speaker 62 How would he possibly live in Denver if he wasn't playing for the the Broncos?

Speaker 24 There's no way.

Speaker 63 There's no chance he could do it.

Speaker 24 If you're looking to bring on a guy that hasn't played in the NFL as a tight end, I feel like Jokic would be a damn good tight end. But does he love Denver? I don't think he loves Denver.

Speaker 5 I don't think he loves Denver.

Speaker 24 And his brothers, I don't think his brothers ever played for the Broncos. Yeah.

Speaker 43 Yeah.

Speaker 48 You're pretending like this is fake when say, what was the last line again?

Speaker 24 Well, the last line was that his brothers both played for Denver.

Speaker 21 Oh, but what was the line before that?

Speaker 24 He worked with Sean Payton at Fox, and I'm told he he loves Denver and quarterback Bonex.

Speaker 43 Dallas, yeah.

Speaker 19 He loves Denver, dude.

Speaker 29 He's going to be a Bronco.

Speaker 2 There's no other way for him to do this than be a Bronco.

Speaker 24 I think it could happen. Yeah.

Speaker 17 All right. My hot seat is.

Speaker 24 Oh, also, Baby Gronk has committed to Georgia.

Speaker 28 Oh.

Speaker 24 He said he will commit to Georgia.

Speaker 43 I hate that kid. Perbit.

Speaker 81 Malefense.

Speaker 59 Baby Gronk.

Speaker 96 University of Georgia. Yes, I got your offer.
But is there any baddies in Georgia?

Speaker 21 Who?

Speaker 77 Any baddies?

Speaker 96 Kenny Smith, what what are you doing in Georgia?

Speaker 92 Baby Gronk, are you stalking me?

Speaker 16 You found a body.

Speaker 24 Oh, side hug. Any hitter with a side hug, too.
Damn. So he got the offer.
He's committing to Georgia. Do you think Baby Gronk

Speaker 72 absolutely hates Big Justice and The Rizzler?

Speaker 12 Because I feel like that was, you can point to where Baby Gronk went down.

Speaker 72 Maybe it was actually when Baby Diggs showed up because he can lock down Baby Gronk.

Speaker 24 Would you say, hey, did you call Baby Gronk Diddy?

Speaker 75 I called you, Diddy. Why?

Speaker 24 Because you were just breaking down him finding a body he's like 12 years old no he said i there are no baddies he said there are no baddies that go to georgia then i said that's even so then i misspoke and said body instead of batty okay

Speaker 24 you you know what heck you're on an all-time hate streak right now he's just an all-time

Speaker 43 hate streak i speak my mind i don't know what you want me to do you're clearly rattled by the fact that gronk loves denver

Speaker 43 And it's not, it's nothing against baby Gronk himself. It's obviously his family, but that is the weirdest internet storyline that exists, I think.

Speaker 69 Not the Costco guys.

Speaker 45 I came around on them. Okay, good.

Speaker 43 I came around on them.

Speaker 56 You're on the right side of history.

Speaker 20 Yeah. Yeah, Max?

Speaker 43 It was honestly when they came to the office, he was funny, and I was just, I was like, oh, knock on. And Jerry wants to fuck their mind.
I was talking a lot of shit.

Speaker 45 Oh, he's like, oh, doom.

Speaker 43 And I just, it was so funny.

Speaker 24 Jerry's talked me into Mama Justice. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 59 He's shown me.

Speaker 56 Stockholm syndrome.

Speaker 58 Mama Justice has got it.

Speaker 7 Yeah.

Speaker 51 Have you guys seen the newest child stars on the internet?

Speaker 12 No.

Speaker 51 The Maryland Foodie Boys. Oh, yes.

Speaker 68 I love those guys.

Speaker 12 We actually are like, we shouldn't prop these guys up because they're going to take our job.

Speaker 33 It's a bunch of like 12-year-olds who have a food podcast, but they haven't tried any food because they're 12.

Speaker 20 So like celery,

Speaker 71 they did a pizza topping

Speaker 51 discussion, and they all were like, I usually just like cheese, but I guess maybe pepperoni.

Speaker 21 That was the whole discussion.

Speaker 97 put a clip put that clip in here rye what's your favorite topping on a pizza i'm just a if i had the chews it'd probably be like

Speaker 97 pepperoni but i'm not a big i'm not a big i'm just a regular cheese guy we i just do cheese i don't i don't do i just do cheese i don't really like pepperoni it's kind of a weird taste i'll do pepperoni but same thing like yeah a lot of people are big pepperoni fans i think meat lovers too i've had meat lovers a couple times i'm not a big fan of it i'm not a big fan of like the sausage in general

Speaker 97 i've never had a a meat lover.

Speaker 51 None of them liked pepperoni.

Speaker 51 It was too spicy for them, but they have a food podcast.

Speaker 53 I love it.

Speaker 72 They had a long discussion about what actually are dry rub wings.

Speaker 24 I want to see the episode where they get introduced to Ranch on Pizza.

Speaker 56 It's so awesome, dude.

Speaker 51 One of the kids said that he hasn't had a different lunch since kindergarten. I assume he's probably in sixth grade.

Speaker 27 But he just

Speaker 51 had peanut butter and jelly, yogurt, chips, fruit, and a juice box. I love that.
He's had the same lunch every single day, but he has a food pot.

Speaker 23 And they're just like, yeah, let's talk about this today.

Speaker 47 It's like, has anyone tried it? No.

Speaker 21 End of show.

Speaker 21 What is this?

Speaker 24 Strawberry jelly?

Speaker 73 Oh, yeah, we got put the clip in for the people.

Speaker 61 The pizza one had me dying.

Speaker 13 They're just going around being like, yeah, I'm kind of just cheese.

Speaker 83 All right.

Speaker 2 My hot seat is

Speaker 1 anyone who hates Taylor Swift?

Speaker 17 Not us.

Speaker 47 We love Taylor Swift. We're 50s.
Because Travis Kelsey is not retiring.

Speaker 24 Okay.

Speaker 47 So his GM said that he was pumped for him to be back.

Speaker 58 So that was a fun little thing.

Speaker 24 So is that confirmed or is that just the GM says that he's pumped?

Speaker 47 The GM said he was pumped.

Speaker 20 I feel like Chiefs GM.

Speaker 24 Travis Kelsey should always be pumped.

Speaker 2 Chiefs GM expects fired up Kelsey to play in 25.

Speaker 53 Okay.

Speaker 53 Fired up.

Speaker 1 How we left at the end of the season is that he was fired up.

Speaker 12 I think we left it as he'd be back, and we're excited to get him back and get him going.

Speaker 24 So Cool Throne is the Swifties? Yeah, there. Because I also saw a story in in an unconfirmed report that she's got a beef with Blake Lively going right now.

Speaker 44 Oh.

Speaker 24 Is that true, Hank?

Speaker 47 Hank, explain the Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds thing to me in three sentences.

Speaker 43 Okay. Blake Lively,

Speaker 43 Diva

Speaker 43 gets in fight with director.

Speaker 43 enforces her power and uses Ryan Reynolds to shape a narrative. Uh-oh.
Movie flops. Then she goes back and blames the director, even though it was her that was kind of doing everything the whole time.

Speaker 21 So we're about Baldoni.

Speaker 43 And then now everything's getting public.

Speaker 21 And Baldoni gross.

Speaker 43 Baldoni is

Speaker 43 just releasing everything. He just started a website and he's just leaking every single conversation and every single piece of evidence he has.

Speaker 43 I think he's also a little bit of a diva. Like that's kind of, they're just doing PR

Speaker 44 articles.

Speaker 43 Let's just get some articles going.

Speaker 24 It sounds like this type of stuff happens all the time on basically any movie.

Speaker 43 Ryan Reynolds is the biggest loser out of the whole thing.

Speaker 21 So it went for being a good husband?

Speaker 43 Yeah, but he just, he was, you know, a beloved person, I feel like, and he's kind of looking a little scummy.

Speaker 21 I haven't changed my opinion on him.

Speaker 3 He's a wife. Do you have an opinion?

Speaker 85 None.

Speaker 1 I don't really have, no, I don't watch some Marvel movies.

Speaker 24 I enjoyed waiting. I enjoyed Van Wilder.
That was funny.

Speaker 75 I enjoyed funny.

Speaker 24 Yeah, Van Wilder Waiting, two great films.

Speaker 24 I like the Welcome to Wrexham thing.

Speaker 17 Yeah, that's cool.

Speaker 34 I just, that's one of those stories that I know it exists, but I never read anything.

Speaker 86 And then it popped up again with the SNL 50 when everyone's like, how could he make this joke?

Speaker 43 Well, so they're suing, and in the lawsuit, there's Blake Liley saying like she's caused emotional damage by everything that's going on.

Speaker 43 So that's like in the lawsuit. So you can't.
So then to go to SNL, where his ex-wife, who he left for

Speaker 43 Scarlett Johansson, who was married to Colin Joe's. Colin Joe's.
So he left. Scarlett Johansen to start dating Blake Liley because they were co-stars in a movie together, classic scumbag move.

Speaker 43 and then

Speaker 43 to show up at SNL 50 and then make a joke about it when in the lawsuit they're saying she's so emotionally damaged that this is happening. Like it kind of, you know, playing both sides there.

Speaker 24 But is there any truth to the fact that there's a rift between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift now?

Speaker 43 I think Taylor Swift, I don't know. I don't know about that.
That's that's Swifty stuff that I'm not fully caught up on, but

Speaker 43 Blake Lively was in Taylor's box forever after all this stuff happened. Yeah.
But she was in no box to be found and nowhere to be found with Taylor.

Speaker 43 I think that's just Swifty's speculating.

Speaker 3 Ryan Reynolds went from Scarjo to Blake Lively.

Speaker 25 Yeah.

Speaker 85 Fuck that guy.

Speaker 24 He's had a good time.

Speaker 7 Damn.

Speaker 7 Yeah.

Speaker 100 I respect.

Speaker 24 Take my hat off, too. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 41 All right, my cool throne is actually all of us.

Speaker 18 Nice. Because Sidney Sweeney is not getting married as of right now.

Speaker 43 Good for us. I thought you were just going to say, because we're getting the phone.

Speaker 7 Oh, the Woge phone?

Speaker 90 Listen, I'm going to try to buy a Woge phone for our good friend, Mark Titus because he loves Woge.

Speaker 44 For people who didn't see it, Woge is auctioning off his old phones for St.

Speaker 1 Bonnie's NIL.

Speaker 21 And if you're like, why would I want his old phone?

Speaker 47 Well, let me pull it up real quick and give you a little explanation for why you'd want it.

Speaker 62 So this is one of the phones you could buy from Woge.

Speaker 47 How about this, Hank?

Speaker 72 Would you like this one?

Speaker 35 iPhone used to break Paul George Kawhi Leonard to the Clippers.

Speaker 1 Woj used this phone, iPhone XR from 2018 to 2019 to discover and announce major NBA news, including Kevin Drake and Kyrie Irving teaming up in Brooklyn, Anthony Davis joining LeBron James in Los Angeles, and Paul George and Kawhi Leonard both landing with the Clippers just moments apart around 2 a.m.

Speaker 24 That's pretty cool. It's more than just a phone, it's a piece of history.

Speaker 79 That is a huge phone.

Speaker 1 iPhone used to break NBA suspending season for COVID.

Speaker 45 That one's a hell. I don't like that phone.

Speaker 47 I actually did text Woj and I was like, do you have any other phones that we could buy black market?

Speaker 23 And he's like, he's going to look for us.

Speaker 21 Okay.

Speaker 59 Because I would like a Woj phone.

Speaker 24 I mean, that brings up a good point. What phones, historically, would you like to purchase?

Speaker 41 I think the Brett Favre phone.

Speaker 19 Yeah.

Speaker 21 Brett Favre. The phone's phone would be good.
Joe Horn. Joe Horn.

Speaker 24 Joe Horn's phone from underneath the uprights and the inside.

Speaker 50 Tombre Deflakegate phone.

Speaker 24 Now that thing's destroyed.

Speaker 12 I would like to buy the Diana Rossini reporting on Max's farts and two sodas.

Speaker 24 We could actually probably make that happen.

Speaker 43 That might still be good. That might still be

Speaker 73 an active phone.

Speaker 94 I'd like the phone where, and we're going to, on Friday, we'll have Schefter on.

Speaker 62 I would love the phone where the desk tape is stored.

Speaker 13 That would be nice.

Speaker 43 But yeah, we should maybe sell some of our stuff like that makes me wish we like. Imagine if we just had archived all of our shit instead of just throwing it away or like doing the pile donations.

Speaker 12 This big cat phone has over five million dollars lost in gambling.

Speaker 58 You are really going to want this one.

Speaker 24 Whose job hypothetically would have been to archive all the part of my take stuff?

Speaker 50 That would have been you.

Speaker 3 How's the bonk list going this year?

Speaker 43 Let's pull it up.

Speaker 7 Because the people love it.

Speaker 87 Yeah, they do.

Speaker 47 You just aren't doing it.

Speaker 24 I think I maybe just got way less horny this year.

Speaker 43 Way less horny. Turned 40.

Speaker 24 Lost my mojo.

Speaker 47 Is me saying that we all got a shot with Sidney Sweeney?

Speaker 21 I'm back.

Speaker 63 I'm back.

Speaker 47 Because we all got a shot with Sidney Sweeney.

Speaker 1 This is confusing. Not 0% chance.

Speaker 51 I can see it from here.

Speaker 51 It is not a substantial list.

Speaker 27 Oh, no. No.

Speaker 7 There's one entry. There's one entry.

Speaker 21 Okay, Hank,

Speaker 20 give us an entry list.

Speaker 73 It's not completed.

Speaker 1 PMT stats and info.

Speaker 86 We're going to have to have you help out, Hank, and maybe get some bonk lists going for him.

Speaker 43 No, I mean, there hasn't been much.

Speaker 69 What do you mean?

Speaker 13 We do the bonk list in the middle of summer, so it's been six months.

Speaker 43 Did we even do it last year?

Speaker 1 I think we had the same issue in the news.

Speaker 27 No, I would take him last year.

Speaker 43 I had one from last year.

Speaker 44 I had him from last year. Okay.

Speaker 7 So we did do it last year.

Speaker 43 We didn't do it on the show. All right.

Speaker 70 So we have two years. Maybe.

Speaker 21 We definitely did it on the show.

Speaker 43 PFT is Mike Pence. Assume Max was going to say sexual things to female coworkers when?

Speaker 24 Oh, when you wouldn't go on the bachelorette party.

Speaker 51 Oh, yeah. No, that's not it.
No.

Speaker 25 You

Speaker 51 wanted me to.

Speaker 43 Oh, PFT's Mike Pence. Like, you assume that if Max is talking to female coworkers.

Speaker 73 Yeah.

Speaker 51 You wanted me after the Eagles fan was disrespectful to the women, you wanted me to go up to the women of Barstool and say something nice. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 24 She was nice, but respectful.

Speaker 51 But you just assumed everything was going to be sexual.

Speaker 41 No, say something nice, but respect's right.

Speaker 6 I just told all of them they're really good at their job.

Speaker 24 That's a weak, weak bonk list, eh?

Speaker 72 Yeah, your bonk list sucks, Hank.

Speaker 43 I started the bonk list myself. I know.
It was my passion project.

Speaker 44 People want to assign them. People want it.

Speaker 53 People want it. Okay.

Speaker 101 Let's

Speaker 47 do our interview with Ben Johnson.

Speaker 93 Okay, we now welcome on a very, very, very special special guest.

Speaker 47 It is head coach of the Chicago Bears, Ben Johnson.

Speaker 9 Coach, thank you for joining us.

Speaker 60 I have a loaded first question for you.

Speaker 6 Can I start with a first question for you first?

Speaker 21 Yeah, okay. Okay, all right.

Speaker 76 All right.

Speaker 103 Super Bowl scenario.

Speaker 58 Okay.

Speaker 57 By the way, I watched an AI thing where they simulated the next 10 years of the Bears with Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams.

Speaker 100 We won two Super Bowls.

Speaker 6 I like that.

Speaker 21 Yeah, programming. Okay.

Speaker 103 Scenario, Super Bowl, Chicago Bears versus New England Patriots.

Speaker 21 Who are you rooting for?

Speaker 20 Bears.

Speaker 42 Bears. You are?

Speaker 75 Bears all day.

Speaker 53 Okay. Bears.
Good. Bears.

Speaker 79 We got that one out of the way.

Speaker 91 Bears.

Speaker 21 Yes. All right.

Speaker 89 My first question is a very important question.

Speaker 100 Very important question.

Speaker 90 Cat or dog guy?

Speaker 6 Dog.

Speaker 24 Yes. Good answer.
Good answer.

Speaker 71 Thank God. All right.
That's the end of the interview.

Speaker 46 That's all I needed.

Speaker 24 There was another coach that we had on.

Speaker 46 There might have been another coach.

Speaker 24 There were a few years ago that said not only cats, but multiple cats.

Speaker 50 Yeah.

Speaker 24 That should have been a red flag.

Speaker 45 Who was that? I don't know. Forget the guy.

Speaker 101 It might have been the coach before you for the Bears.

Speaker 23 All right, so you're a dog guy. Do you have a dog?

Speaker 45 I do not have a dog.

Speaker 69 Okay, but you love dogs.

Speaker 45 I like dogs. I like dogs.
Okay, I should add.

Speaker 27 No, yeah, I should have ended the interview, right?

Speaker 56 You don't own a dog.

Speaker 24 Are you an aspiring dog owner?

Speaker 42 Nope.

Speaker 21 Okay, okay. But

Speaker 59 you appreciate their working.

Speaker 104 I don't have time for pets, guys.

Speaker 85 Okay, that's fair.

Speaker 75 That's fair.

Speaker 21 Football is life.

Speaker 42 Football is life.

Speaker 24 So I was actually, I was a little bit worried that you were not going to show up today because you love canceling interviews at the last second.

Speaker 24 Is that true?

Speaker 21 Oh.

Speaker 59 That was a harder question. Harder question.

Speaker 21 It was a harder question to question.

Speaker 85 I don't know.

Speaker 24 I was expressing my deep fears. No, honestly, I did want you as the coach of the Commanders last year.
I think it worked out well for everybody involved.

Speaker 79 No question.

Speaker 21 Washington had a great year.

Speaker 45 Great year. Yep.

Speaker 25 Great ending.

Speaker 85 All right.

Speaker 70 So you've been the Bears' head coach for over a month now.

Speaker 48 Has it kind of settled in that you are a head coach in the NFL?

Speaker 37 Like, that's, it's pretty, pretty damn cool.

Speaker 47 Like, has it started to be like, whoa, I'm actually running this organization?

Speaker 104 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 I think it's, listen, it's been everything I wanted it to be. I know that.

Speaker 6 It's been five weeks and a lot of work and getting the coaching staff together, getting schedules in place, and it's a lot going on. So I haven't had a chance to reflect yet or anything like that.

Speaker 6 But no, it's exactly what I wanted.

Speaker 42 I love that.

Speaker 93 I love that.

Speaker 6 Would you say you're an offensive guru, a whiz kid, or a QB whisperer? I'd say a damn good football coach.

Speaker 91 Oh, I like that.

Speaker 29 Because my next question was going to be like, which one of those is the best leader of men?

Speaker 18 And does any of this shit matter?

Speaker 79 Listen, yeah, none of those terms matter.

Speaker 69 I hate all those terms, actually.

Speaker 79 I agree. I want to be a damn good football coach.

Speaker 6 I want to be remembered as Andy Reid-esque or Balachek-esque. Like, that's what I aspire to be.

Speaker 81 I like that a lot.

Speaker 24 You seem like an intense guy, somebody who's very clear about your intentions for everything. When did you know that you wanted to be a head football coach?

Speaker 6 I think it's been every step along the way, that's when you start looking at the next step.

Speaker 6 And so, when I was, uh, when I got, when Dan Campbell promoted me to tight ends coach, there was a point I was like, Man, I could, I love this job, I could do this for the next 20 years.

Speaker 6 This is great, but then eventually you're like, well, I would love to call plays too at some point. And so, well, you get the opportunity to do that.

Speaker 6 And then, once you're calling plays for a little bit, you're like, oh, well, there's another, there's another ladder to climb here. So,

Speaker 6 yeah, it over the last, call it three years, that's where it really came to shape. I can't tell you I got into this business to be a head coach.
That really wasn't the intent.

Speaker 6 The intent was to be around some really good people. And I love the game.
I love the sport and

Speaker 6 everything that comes out from it. And so it's just been a natural progression.
And

Speaker 6 it's really the next step.

Speaker 24 I heard that somewhere along the line, you were writing code.

Speaker 79 Yeah. Is that true? That was a long time ago.

Speaker 24 Like in a football capacity?

Speaker 69 Yeah, to a degree.

Speaker 20 Is that pretty cool?

Speaker 24 You were watching film figuring out ways to arrange data or what was that? Yeah, so

Speaker 6 it was a way of taking what was ever already in, put it into the system and organizing it a different way. So

Speaker 6 listen, it's not fun or sexy to talk about.

Speaker 85 I don't think we need to do that.

Speaker 21 That's pretty cool.

Speaker 24 It's an interesting ability that you have because if you were to go back 20 years, how many football coaches have ever written code trying to organize their systems? It's probably 0%.

Speaker 79 There's probably not many. Yeah.

Speaker 45 There's probably not many.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 57 I mean, that's pretty cool part of your past.

Speaker 105 I'm sure that there's, I mean, getting to this point where you're a head coach of the NFL is an incredible accomplishment.

Speaker 9 I know you have a lot more things you want to accomplish, but like being a code writer, I can't imagine that's like PFT said, there's probably not a lot of guys who've coached the NFL who did that.

Speaker 25 That's pretty damn cool.

Speaker 21 Yeah, if you think so.

Speaker 53 I think it's cool. I'm counting it as cool.

Speaker 55 All right, so I love Caleb Williams.

Speaker 12 What do you see in Caleb Williams and gets you excited about coaching Caleb Williams?

Speaker 6 I would say what stands out, which is different than where I came from, would be the ability to improvise, the creation when things break down, extend plays,

Speaker 6 throw on the move outside of the pocket.

Speaker 6 He's a dynamic athlete.

Speaker 6 He's got all the intangibles, I believe, that the great quarterbacks have. He wants to be great.

Speaker 6 He wants to be coached. That was important as well.
So I'm still getting to know him, but I really can't wait to get to work with him.

Speaker 106 Yeah. yeah.

Speaker 24 One thing that I really love about your coaching style is all the downfield laterals that you do.

Speaker 45 You like those? I love them.

Speaker 24 So we've been talking about that on this show. I think every single head coach that we've interviewed, I've been telling them like more downfield laterals, there's ability to break open big plays.

Speaker 24 By the way that defenses are coached on how to tackle, swarm to the ball, opens up gaps. You use that as much as anybody in the NFL in your offense.

Speaker 24 Is that something that you've grown up looking at the, you know, the percentages and done all the analytics and said you have the ability to make bigger plays.

Speaker 24 Like, how did that become a key part of your playbook?

Speaker 6 Let me start.

Speaker 6 The head coaches you did talk to, what did they say? Were they going to?

Speaker 24 They would kind of laugh and they'd say,

Speaker 24 well, no, they would laugh and they'd say,

Speaker 24 yeah, but you also have a high risk of turning the ball over.

Speaker 6 Oh, come on. That's baloney.
That's what they said about the triple option. Yeah.
When that came to light, right?

Speaker 6 And so, listen, it was last year we're watching Self-Scout as a staff, and there was a certain concept we had ran a number of times the year before and it was like well what if we did this you see the same reaction from the defense didn't matter what coverage they were in the same reaction what if we just sent another player going the other way and we we threw the ball to him and so uh that's really how that came to light we did probably what four or five of them this year in detroit and uh they ended up being pretty darn good plays but you got to have the right players too because it was st.

Speaker 104 Brown yeah say you get the ball to St.

Speaker 24 Brown he's gonna make sure he's doing the right thing with it he's a dog you have to coach it you have to have guys that are ready for it, guys that are ready to pitch it. And if you watch rugby,

Speaker 24 there are people that are very capable of while they're getting hit, offload the ball, boom, break it for a touchdown.

Speaker 6 Well, you see Kansas City do it, but that's a little bit more ad-lib, I feel like, you know, whereas we were a little bit more detailed about the relationship.

Speaker 6 But like I said, the triple option, I'm sure when that came came out years ago, everyone was like, what the hell is this thing? And,

Speaker 6 you know, I feel like this is just our version of the triple option, modern day triple option, if you will.

Speaker 71 How deep is your bag?

Speaker 79 It's deep, right? Oh, it's deep.

Speaker 69 It's deep.

Speaker 29 All right, so settle this debate, though, because every time this would happen to you where you guys would run a trick play, even specifically the one you ran against the Bears, where Jared pretended to fumble and then hit that touchdown pass.

Speaker 31 And everyone's like, why would you run that in the regular season?

Speaker 2 I've always thought...

Speaker 55 You're just giving

Speaker 15 the defense that you're going to play

Speaker 31 down the season another look they have to be ready for.

Speaker 2 So if Jared just, if he trips even a little little bit, they're like, oh shit, there's another trick play.

Speaker 17 Is that kind of how you look at trick plays?

Speaker 70 Like, there's no, hey, we're trying to hold something back because we're just making it even harder for them to game play.

Speaker 6 You don't know when they're going to be good again because they're really predicated on the defense you're playing that week.

Speaker 6 And so, if you're going to invest the time and the energy to install it and practice it on the field, then why wait what could be another four weeks before you get actually get a chance to run it?

Speaker 6 You might as well capitalize on that opportunity right now. And not to mention, there's a million plays you can run.

Speaker 6 There's a million plays, and we've only scratched the surface of what we're capable of doing right now.

Speaker 6 And so, yeah, we'll scratch one of those million off the list. And okay, we got a bunch of them left.
Let's go on to the next one.

Speaker 17 That's a deep pack.

Speaker 15 Do you ever find yourself like maybe even when you're sleeping or just like, you know, driving and something pops in your head, you're like, oh, found another.

Speaker 104 Yeah, yeah. It happens.

Speaker 6 The best times are in the shower.

Speaker 79 That's where we go.

Speaker 104 Yeah.

Speaker 6 You got nothing else to do, but your mind's on football in the shower. That's where the best ideas pop up.

Speaker 16 Ben Johnson is beating you from the shower.

Speaker 45 I like that.

Speaker 21 I like that.

Speaker 75 I haven't heard that one before.

Speaker 24 Do you have an overall football philosophy?

Speaker 6 Yeah, and this stems from John Shoup, who actually coordinated it at Chicago early 2000s. He was a coordinator when I was a senior at North Carolina.

Speaker 6 Caleb Presley knows him very well, and he used to say, yeah, we want the same things to look different and different things to look the same.

Speaker 6 And so really, that's the starting premise for offensive football.

Speaker 6 That's what it was since I took over as a play caller.

Speaker 105 I like that. Wait, the same things look different.

Speaker 72 We're not smart, different things look the same.

Speaker 24 Same things that look different. So, you want when you're doing different things, you want people to be like, oh, they're just running their vanilla offense.

Speaker 89 I think I'm going to dumb it down.

Speaker 60 It's kind of like a delivery of like a fastball and a change-up come from the same arm slot.

Speaker 21 That's right. Okay.
That's right. I got it now.

Speaker 75 That's right. I think.
Yeah.

Speaker 21 I think. That's right.

Speaker 89 How important is a running back for you?

Speaker 6 Very important. Yeah.

Speaker 69 Yeah. You know,

Speaker 6 I was very fortunate to be around some good ones over my career. And I think the best ones, what they do, is they elevate the players around them.
And so

Speaker 6 really, they've been the tone setters, the best offenses I've been a part of, the best teams I've been on, that running back position has really been vital in terms of getting the game going.

Speaker 6 When things are going in a lull, which will happen from time to time, get in his hands and he'll pick us back up again. And so, no, the running back position is huge.

Speaker 24 So, like, if there was a great running back that was rounding the draft, you'd think, man, that guy would be important.

Speaker 21 Certainly.

Speaker 56 Yeah, I would think that. That's a good answer.
I would think that way, too.

Speaker 24 That's a good answer.

Speaker 24 I like that you've already kind of, you're very comfortable doing the, I know that I'm getting too close to something and I can't give away too much information.

Speaker 24 So I'm going to sit here and smile and let you guys figure it out.

Speaker 24 You're beyond your years on that. When you were working with Coach Dan Campbell in Detroit, one thing that we love about Coach Campbell is we think that he's actually very, very smart.

Speaker 24 He's a super smart guy, and sometimes he likes to toss a little red meat out to the media to get them talking about a lion on the sidelines instead of trying to actually figure out what he's up to in the games.

Speaker 24 But I think he's an underrated, intelligent coach. He knew exactly when to go for it on fourth down, according to actual statistics.

Speaker 24 It wasn't like sometimes it might have been overall motto of we're going to be aggressive, but it was all backed up by math on that.

Speaker 24 Was that like going into every game, did you know the exact scenarios where you had to be prepared to go for it on fourth down?

Speaker 24 And if so, did you stay with that plan or were there times where you had to deviate from the plan?

Speaker 6 No, you're right. He's super intelligent.
Yeah. Yeah.
And I've learned a ton from him.

Speaker 6 Each week was its own entity, though. And so it wasn't like you

Speaker 6 went into the season saying, hey, every fourth and two, we're always going to go for it. That was not the case.

Speaker 6 It just depended on the week, the opponent, how aggressive aggressive they were, the weather. There's all kinds of factors that come into play.

Speaker 6 And so going into the game, yeah, he would have shared that information with me of, man, once we hit midfield, if you can make it fourth and three or less, then you're going to have a green light.

Speaker 6 And then over the course of the game.

Speaker 6 Once we hit that range, he would be in my headset and telling me, hey, you got four downs here, which would tell me, oh, I just got to make this fourth and three or less.

Speaker 6 And so what that allowed me to do as a play caller was we ran the ball a shit ton on third down

Speaker 6 to make it into those manageable situations. And a lot of those runs, we ended up converting anyways because that's actually the best time to run the ball.

Speaker 6 So it was, I think that was his whole grand scheme.

Speaker 6 You know, he's a, there's a lot of science behind it.

Speaker 56 He takes multitudes.

Speaker 43 Yeah, we always like.

Speaker 48 We're dumb fans, and I think most fans are a little dumb in this way where we're like, oh, he's going for fourth down again.

Speaker 34 But it felt like for the Lions specifically, you guys were, you knew you were going to fourth down way before that.

Speaker 12 You know what I mean?

Speaker 57 You knew that that drive, like, hey, this is going to be a drive where, like you said, fourth and three.

Speaker 48 So it's not a surprise to anyone on the field.

Speaker 45 And you're planning for that.

Speaker 58 And you're calling plays, you know, three, four plays ahead. Yeah.

Speaker 6 And that was the play style there, too. So the players knew it.
The players knew exactly what we were getting into, not only on offense, but also on defense.

Speaker 6 They knew, well, there's a chance that we're not going to convert and now they're going to have to defend a short field or something like that. Right.

Speaker 6 You know, the buy-in is so important to any team that you're a part of. And fortunately, there in Detroit, there's a lot of player buy-in.

Speaker 37 Was there ever a time where Dan Campbell, when on the headset, he was just like, no, Penn, that's too crazy.

Speaker 75 We can't do that.

Speaker 79 No, I don't think so. I think he's

Speaker 69 let you let it rip. Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 99 That's awesome.

Speaker 35 I love that because

Speaker 15 your trick plays are very fun to watch. And

Speaker 57 they're like, I mean, back to that Jared Goff one, that was an insult play.

Speaker 13 We can just say it right now.

Speaker 48 That was an insult play to have

Speaker 48 fake fall down and score a touchdown, but it was damn cool.

Speaker 87 And I had to be like, damn, that was pretty damn cool.

Speaker 21 I appreciate it.

Speaker 21 It made it come to life.

Speaker 24 Was it on Thanksgiving, or it might have been the other time you guys played the Bears where you just had Panay Sewell just stiff arm like four guys in those bounces?

Speaker 24 Was he planning on throwing that ball or was it designed to just have him run over as many bears as possible?

Speaker 6 In hindsight, it should have been that because that was fun. But no, he threw the ball probably half a dozen times the previous three weeks in practice, dimes every single time.

Speaker 79 Wow.

Speaker 6 Dimes every single time. Put it right on the money.

Speaker 6 You're talking about 330 pounds running probably 15 miles an hour to his right and throwing it right on the money.

Speaker 39 Yeah.

Speaker 6 I don't know if I've seen a more athletic movement.

Speaker 79 Yeah, that's pretty crazy.

Speaker 13 It has nothing to do with Thanksgiving, but how are you with timeouts?

Speaker 7 I like to call him.

Speaker 59 Okay, but you know when when to call them? Yeah.

Speaker 53 Okay.

Speaker 2 So you like 30 seconds left, kind of scrambling.

Speaker 61 You got a timeout in your pocket.

Speaker 87 Maybe call it.

Speaker 104 Yeah, if you need it, you call it.

Speaker 79 Okay. All right.

Speaker 63 That's good. That's good.

Speaker 21 Clock management is important.

Speaker 24 I got another coaching scenario for you. Go ahead.
At the end of a game, let's say you guys have a lead.

Speaker 24 I think it might be a two-point lead, maybe three-point lead.

Speaker 24 The opponent has the ball around the 45-yard line.

Speaker 99 Or 45-yard line.

Speaker 24 Minus 45. Okay.
And there's, I don't know, like four seconds left. There's two schools of thought on how to defend it.
One, you use 11 guys to play defense against the Hail Mary. And the other

Speaker 24 is you have one of your players flip off somebody in the crowd on the Hail Mary. So I know you're an offensive guy, so maybe this hasn't occurred to you.
What would you do?

Speaker 6 You said I don't need to answer.

Speaker 75 You don't have to answer this.

Speaker 85 You know what?

Speaker 61 I'm going to speak on his behalf.

Speaker 67 He doesn't have to answer this.

Speaker 42 Okay.

Speaker 21 That's, yeah,

Speaker 27 that's very fair.

Speaker 41 It's just the me gloating. It worked out well for Washington.

Speaker 73 Yes, it did.

Speaker 24 And I think it's worked out well for

Speaker 79 everyone involved.

Speaker 41 Sliding doors.

Speaker 24 We got to interview Caleb on the podcast back in August of last year, and I asked him this question. I'm curious to know your answer to it as well.

Speaker 24 But if there was a button that you could press, and if you press the button, the Bears would win 10 Super Bowls, but one random Bears fan would die. Would you press that button?

Speaker 72 I already gave up my life.

Speaker 17 So as long as they build a statue being like, he died for 10 Super Bowls.

Speaker 6 Can I just give a body part instead? Yeah.

Speaker 24 Pinky? Yeah, which body part would you sell?

Speaker 21 Well, I've got the three kids.

Speaker 6 My wife is already telling me what we need to do next.

Speaker 99 So I I guess we can go with testicles.

Speaker 21 Testicles.

Speaker 64 Done.

Speaker 21 She's good.

Speaker 99 You didn't have to do both of them.

Speaker 78 You could have just said

Speaker 78 that.

Speaker 21 One's fine. I just want one.

Speaker 99 Give us both.

Speaker 11 All right.

Speaker 33 I got a tough question for you. Would you rather have five Rolls-Royce Spectres,

Speaker 31 a beachfront house in Miami, or a 100-foot boat?

Speaker 6 I guess the beachfront house in Miami.

Speaker 21 Okay, the correct answer was all of them because you make $13 million a year.

Speaker 27 Says who? You can afford all of them.

Speaker 21 Allegedly.

Speaker 27 Allegedly.

Speaker 69 Allegedly.

Speaker 70 Yeah, you can afford all those.

Speaker 68 That's pretty cool, right?

Speaker 21 That's cool.

Speaker 52 Here's a question from a friend of a mutual friend of ours.

Speaker 99 How much do you squat?

Speaker 53 Oh.

Speaker 101 I don't know where this question is going.

Speaker 2 I asked Jared if he had any questions.

Speaker 34 He was

Speaker 99 Jared. This was Jared Koff's question.

Speaker 36 How much do you squat? So I don't know if you could say none or,

Speaker 6 you know, I go ask the ankles.

Speaker 106 Okay.

Speaker 6 So I probably could get 405 right now.

Speaker 68 That's pretty good.

Speaker 93 That's you don't look like a guy.

Speaker 21 Like, that's what do I look like?

Speaker 53 I don't know.

Speaker 85 I didn't know where the answer was going to go.

Speaker 42 405 is pretty insane.

Speaker 24 You look like you're built like a steel trap.

Speaker 21 Yeah. Do you squat a lot?

Speaker 21 Yeah, once a week. Okay.
Yeah.

Speaker 99 405 is legit.

Speaker 42 Damn. Do you get built?

Speaker 24 Do you get in the weight room with the guys?

Speaker 6 No. No.
But they've seen me. They've seen me occasionally.

Speaker 99 Yeah, you got to let them see it and see it.

Speaker 67 Just every now and then.

Speaker 6 Listen, I'm no Campbell or Vrabel. I can tell you that right now.
Yeah, I mean, there's those guys are

Speaker 42 awesome.

Speaker 24 Something he works out in the shower.

Speaker 21 He does.

Speaker 41 You're thinking of plays.

Speaker 20 There's actually a perfect microcosm.

Speaker 24 You're drawing something up in the steam on the glass door. He's over there banging out some push-ups.

Speaker 21 Let's get right into the ribs.

Speaker 24 There's levels to this.

Speaker 2 Is there a chance that Rome Adunze is going to be in the slot this year?

Speaker 104 Oh, yeah. Okay.

Speaker 79 Around all over the place.

Speaker 21 I like that.

Speaker 45 Multitudes everywhere. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 106 Yeah.

Speaker 17 Get multiple.

Speaker 6 Same things looking differently and different things looking the same.

Speaker 69 I love that.

Speaker 24 I've got a serious question. So you went back to Detroit a couple times when you had offers to be a head coach elsewhere.
You want to make sure that you were ready. You were committed to the team.

Speaker 24 I thought, like, actually, probably a smart move. You're not ready to go until you're ready to go.
And then the Bears position opens up.

Speaker 24 Now you go to the Bears and you have to play the Lions twice a year. Did that influence your decision one way or the other?

Speaker 6 No, listen, I think when you go from coordinator to head coach, you're looking for a great situation. And that's what I felt like Chicago had to offer.

Speaker 6 I felt really strongly about the ownership, George McCasky, president, Kevin Warren, Ryan Poles, obviously. I felt really strongly about that setup.

Speaker 6 And I felt like we could win not only in the near future, but long term as well. But just as a consequence, it ended up being in the division.
Is it ideal? Probably not.

Speaker 6 Because I have a lot of love and respect for those guys that I just came from.

Speaker 6 But it'll make a couple Sundays each year a little bit more fun, yeah.

Speaker 106 It will, yeah.

Speaker 66 Uh, in terms of play calling, you're gonna obviously call plays, but you're also gonna be the head coach.

Speaker 38 Have you like, how does that work?

Speaker 15 Is that are you not worried about it, but it's obviously a difference because you're you're now worried about the whole team, but also calling the plays.

Speaker 31 Have you talked to anyone who does that?

Speaker 57 I know Sean McVay still does that, some other guys.

Speaker 67 Have you talked to anyone who does that and like tried to figure out, all right, this is what it's going to look like?

Speaker 37 This is how it's going to be done.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I experienced it when I was in Miami. Gace was the head coach, and he was calling it.
And

Speaker 6 listen, what I've done, what I've tried to do, at least when bringing all these guys together, is

Speaker 6 what are my strengths and my weaknesses and trying to shore up all my weaknesses. So I know on game day, I'm going to have a lot going on.

Speaker 6 And that's where having Dennis Allen in the building and on the sideline is going to be huge relief because he's been there. He's done that.

Speaker 6 I have a lot of trust in what he can do on that side of the ball. Richard Hightower is a carryover coach for special teams.

Speaker 6 He's got a lot of skins on the wall, highly respected special teams coordinator.

Speaker 6 And then there'll be a game management portion that's up in the booth that'll have to be my eyes up top to help navigate some of those processes so that we don't fall into some traps there at the end of the game.

Speaker 13 Yeah, because I'm always just amazed when guys do that.

Speaker 48 Like when they show Sean McVay sitting on the sideline, he'll like sit on the bench calling up the next plays.

Speaker 67 I'm like, but you're also the head coach.

Speaker 29 But again, we're dumb.

Speaker 75 So

Speaker 42 it's all about the people you put around you.

Speaker 42 That's what it comes to. Yeah.

Speaker 2 28 guys that you have on your staff?

Speaker 6 Yep. We got got a great mix of

Speaker 6 experience and energy and

Speaker 6 I think idea guys. So I feel really good about where we're at.

Speaker 22 Are you an acronym guy? Do you have an acronym?

Speaker 6 No, no acronym. Okay.

Speaker 75 Love that. Love that.

Speaker 7 That's a great answer.

Speaker 68 That's a great answer.

Speaker 78 That's a model.

Speaker 5 Dog guy, not an acronym guy.

Speaker 24 Love that. Okay.

Speaker 70 The center position.

Speaker 31 I would assume, I mean, you're going from obviously the Lions had an incredible offensive line.

Speaker 29 Bears are in a transition trying to figure it out.

Speaker 46 How important is the center for your play calling and your designs and what you're trying to do?

Speaker 104 I would say it's less about me and it's more about the quarterback.

Speaker 6 So with Caleb being a second year player and everything that that entails,

Speaker 6 he's still, I thought he had a productive first year in terms of exposure of a lot of things that can go on.

Speaker 6 But to help him out the most here going forward, I do think we need a strong presence at center, smart player that can help set the table. table from a run game and pass protection perspective.

Speaker 39 Yeah.

Speaker 24 Do you feel like your mastery of offense gives you a better insight as to how to lean in and give some examples of to your defense coordinator some ideas that you can pass along and be like, hey, if I want to stop this, here's what I would do.

Speaker 79 Yeah, yeah, we'll have those conversations.

Speaker 6 And certainly within the division, I already have a good feel with some of these teams in the division, what may or may not be good ways to go against those teams.

Speaker 81 Do you hate the Packers?

Speaker 6 I don't like the Packers. Yeah.
Hate's a strong word, but no, I know, I know.

Speaker 69 You hate them.

Speaker 45 What about the...

Speaker 2 you do uh you do you you don't know it yet but you do uh what about this shot at uh our our friend matt lafleur uh i liked it it was kind of different because a lot of times when a bears head coach gets announced they'll be like we got to beat the packers you just kind of threw a subtle one in there do you know him at all not like that no okay no oh i like that no yeah

Speaker 12 you don't know him like that no i don't know like that yeah did he did did did anything get backed like did he oh like listen it's a it's a friendly rivalry going on so it'll be fun Yeah.

Speaker 24 In 2025, the Bears are 1-0 against the Packers.

Speaker 37 That's a fact.

Speaker 21 That's just a statistical fact.

Speaker 81 That's a streak you got to keep going.

Speaker 55 Going only with facts here.

Speaker 85 That's a fact.

Speaker 82 All right.

Speaker 61 So in terms of the draft and the Combine, you obviously have been to the Combine many times, but as a head coach now, like, are you, how much does a combine actually matter?

Speaker 70 Does it actually, like, is it more just, hey, we got to go watch the tape?

Speaker 9 This is just kind of an addition to everything we're doing?

Speaker 31 Or is it like, hey, we're going to to try to maybe find a diamond in the rough here?

Speaker 6 It's another tool. So, I mean, it's the first exposure we get personality and football intelligence with the formal interviews.
So just another tool. But yeah, I'd say the end-all be-all is the tape.

Speaker 39 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 24 How many, what's the longest you've gone without watching tape?

Speaker 7 Good question. Good question.

Speaker 20 That is a good question.

Speaker 6 I don't know if I have the answer for that one.

Speaker 24 Has it been like longer than a week?

Speaker 6 It's probably been about a week.

Speaker 24 Have you taken a vacation and gone somewhere? You didn't bring the iPads.

Speaker 17 No, you know, private browser when you're in the bathroom looking at some tape.

Speaker 6 Incognito.

Speaker 79 Yeah, incognito.

Speaker 93 Money, I swear I'm not looking at tape right now.

Speaker 24 But you probably watch it a ton, I would imagine. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Like, how many hours a week would you say?

Speaker 7 Oh, shoot.

Speaker 6 Probably 40.

Speaker 24 Full-time job grinding tape. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 105 Yeah. That's crazy.

Speaker 6 I mean, particularly during the season, but off-season, it adds up.

Speaker 66 And is it, I mean, we're not tape watchers like that.

Speaker 15 I watch some Twitter tape, but is there moments where you're like aha moments that you find in those 40 hours that are just, I would imagine that's why you keep going.

Speaker 24 Yeah, that's where those ideas pop up.

Speaker 6 Right. You know, last offseason about the laterals, and then we had some other cool stuff with lineman splits, moving them around and things like that.
So,

Speaker 6 yeah, you kind of collect that as you're watching everything.

Speaker 24 Big Get asked you if you ever got reined in by Coach Campbell or he was like, that's too crazy. But have you ever had to rein yourself in?

Speaker 24 Was there a play that you designed and you were like, this is too much no i mean the best example would have been that stumble bomb play from jared i i actually wanted him to put the ball on the ground yeah and he that's insane he's the one that told me yeah i don't know if that's the best idea so yeah i mean really the players will start bringing this back down to earth yeah yeah did you did you practice it with him putting the ball on the ground no no he said he he said no way probably smart that would have been one where if it if it worked it would have been maybe the best play ever but if it didn't work it would be like this is the dumbest play ever designed yeah yeah do you do you have a certain amount amount of shots that you always want to take in a game?

Speaker 16 Like, you're like, All right, we got to take at least five shots, or it's been this long since we've taken a shot.

Speaker 6 Changes each week, yeah. So, it depends on the opponent, but yeah, yeah, some weeks you'll say, Hey, we need one each quarter, other weeks it might be a little bit more conservative than that, yeah.

Speaker 104 But, yeah, I got a play call for you, yeah, what do you got?

Speaker 57 Uh, it's called the fake punt punt.

Speaker 15 Yeah, I can already tell you're intrigued.

Speaker 101 So, you uh

Speaker 15 line up for a punt, you fake the punt like you're gonna run a fake punt, punt.

Speaker 67 So, like, maybe the guy, the punter, catches it and like pump fakes, but then he punts.

Speaker 39 I like it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because then everyone comes up and then you get a free, you know, if you're trying to get them to not return it.

Speaker 107 And then you do the fake punt punt all season long.

Speaker 31 And then finally, at the end, you actually fake punt.

Speaker 6 It's like the fake flea flicker run.

Speaker 104 Yeah.

Speaker 21 Yes, right?

Speaker 69 Yeah, but just the special teams run.

Speaker 21 Yes.

Speaker 79 I love it. Fake punt punt.
Now we're talking.

Speaker 107 If you do the fake punt punt, I'd be the happiest guy in the world.

Speaker 99 Are you coming to OTAs this year?

Speaker 21 Yeah, I'll be there.

Speaker 53 Okay, good.

Speaker 21 We'll install that.

Speaker 107 I've seen one team do it.

Speaker 17 I think they did it by accident in college.

Speaker 4 I think they just screwed up their punches.

Speaker 55 Those are the best ones, though.

Speaker 19 Yeah.

Speaker 79 All the girls are at.

Speaker 78 No one returned it.

Speaker 99 It just rolled down.

Speaker 53 That's right. Yeah.

Speaker 42 Fake pun pun.

Speaker 24 My overall football philosophy is that the check down is always open on a flea flicker.

Speaker 41 Always.

Speaker 24 You can get seven yards every time on a flea flicker. Yeah, I agree with that.
Every single time. You got the tight end dragging across, make a whole offense out of that.
Yeah.

Speaker 24 I'm also also very stupid. I apologize.

Speaker 23 Do you like shovel passes?

Speaker 39 Okay.

Speaker 31 Why not?

Speaker 6 It's just been feast or famine. Yeah.
I like a little bit more consistency. Okay.

Speaker 39 I like that. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 104 But there's a time and place. Yeah, that's

Speaker 15 keep them off the

Speaker 24 shovel pass. Do you like fullbacks?

Speaker 53 Yes.

Speaker 75 Love that about you.

Speaker 74 We have a fullback award, which you are more than welcome to have a vote for.

Speaker 15 I did not know that.

Speaker 59 The lowman trophy. Yeah.

Speaker 62 We've been doing it for, I don't know, six or seven years.

Speaker 24 Tommy Pro from Boise State won it last year. Really? Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 104 How many NFL teams have fullbacks?

Speaker 45 Not enough.

Speaker 21 Not a lot.

Speaker 6 You probably count them on one hand at this point.

Speaker 24 They're coming back, but it's more like an H-back where you have to be able to be a fullback and a tight end and a lot of different stuff.

Speaker 24 But there's something, I mean,

Speaker 24 what are your thoughts on bear football?

Speaker 79 On bear football? Yeah, bare weather.

Speaker 24 Chicago Bear Football.

Speaker 21 Bear football. Yeah, bare weather's great.

Speaker 6 It's going to be a weapon for us.

Speaker 99 Yes.

Speaker 6 Get some of these dome teams in December and January.

Speaker 21 It'd be perfect.

Speaker 24 So when me and Big Cat watch games, sometimes we just scream at the TV that you have to establish the run.

Speaker 24 Is that important too? Because you're a math guy.

Speaker 24 You know that if you run the ball more frequently, you end up winning those games based on the numbers afterwards, which has nothing to do with getting a lead and then running the football to drain the clock or anything like that.

Speaker 24 But what are your feelings on establishing the run?

Speaker 6 Depends on the week. Depends on the week.

Speaker 6 That's not every week.

Speaker 76 Yeah.

Speaker 6 There's different ways to win.

Speaker 46 Yeah.

Speaker 85 Yep.

Speaker 53 Okay.

Speaker 9 The choice to come to the Bears, I knew you talked about it a little,

Speaker 57 you know, a few minutes ago, but it seemed like it happened pretty quickly.

Speaker 31 How did it go down?

Speaker 48 You know, obviously the loss happens on Saturday night.

Speaker 31 And then Sunday, did you look at all your options and then wake up on Monday and be like, all right, it's Bears?

Speaker 6 Well, I think it started with

Speaker 6 having that first round buy. The years prior, you know, didn't have.
the ability to really think through some things. And so we had some time off.
And

Speaker 6 all four interviews that I took, I was able to actually think about going into a little bit. And so I had a very good feel that this is the direction I wanted to go.

Speaker 6 I'm not saying necessarily Chicago at that point, but I knew I wanted to be a head coach this cycle.

Speaker 6 And then once I got on the interview and it just, it absolutely clicked with Chicago and the leadership group and Ryan. I love Ryan.

Speaker 6 I felt really strongly about that place. And so that's right when that happened, it got off the call and it's like, this is where, this is where I want to go.
And so,

Speaker 6 you know, the season ended in such an abrupt fashion.

Speaker 6 I give Washington a lot of credit because they did, they earned that thing, but, you know, was really planning on going deep in the playoffs there and making it to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 6 So it was a tough way to go out. And,

Speaker 6 you know, it all escalated very quickly after that. You know, had about 48 hours of exit meetings and everything.

Speaker 6 And then, and then, yeah, it was, this is what's going on, and let's go ahead and get it done.

Speaker 24 Yeah, yeah. What happens in an exit interview?

Speaker 6 Uh, the players come in, they have their physicals, and just to make sure they're healthy, and then they'll meet as a team, offense, with your position coaches.

Speaker 6 And then some guys would come by my office as well as the coordinator and, and just, you know, what do I need to work on or things like that.

Speaker 24 Honest thoughts, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 21 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 104 I mean, it's a, it's a, it's a crappy time.

Speaker 24 It doesn't seem like a very fun

Speaker 6 31 teams.

Speaker 15 It's just, it's the worst day of the year was was there a part of you when you took the bears head coaching job where you're like i'm i'm losing a little bit of uh being the hottest name every single cycle you're like i'm kind of giving this up because you were you're the hottest name every single like i part of me be like i just kind of want to keep getting talked about like this like you can't get talked about like yeah it wasn't really part of my thought okay that would have been part i would have been like pros and cons like people aren't going to say that i'm the next genius you know what i mean now i'm gonna have to prove it i probably would have i probably would have pussied out and been like, I'm just gonna stay being in a system.

Speaker 59 Yeah, it's good.

Speaker 56 It's good having undefeated as a head coach.

Speaker 4 Right, the hypothetical of you as a head coach was incredible.

Speaker 21 Now you actually got to prove it. Well, AI.
AI.

Speaker 20 I said two sooner than wrong.

Speaker 27 That's facts.

Speaker 68 That's facts.

Speaker 24 I heard that when you when you did the interview with the Bears, you stopped at the last minute and you went back to them and you just said, I want this job. Yes.
Is that true? Yes.

Speaker 24 Is that the only team that you said that to?

Speaker 104 That is. So

Speaker 24 the Bears were the one you had identified. Like, just so you know, this is the one that I'm interested in.
That's right.

Speaker 24 That's a, I imagine a very powerful thing to say at the end of a job interview to somebody.

Speaker 104 I would imagine so. Right?

Speaker 24 Did you feel like they reciprocated in that moment?

Speaker 106 I think they liked that. Yeah.

Speaker 79 Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 21 Give it up for Chicago.

Speaker 65 Sebastian Menescalco's new stand-up special, It Ain't Right, is coming to Hulu on November 21st.

Speaker 65 Sebastian Maniscalco, it ain't right. Premieres November 21st, streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney Plus for bundle subscribers.
Terms apply.

Speaker 2 Last question. I know I joked about it with the Porsches and the mansions and all that stuff, but did you at least buy yourself something with the new contract?

Speaker 50 No.

Speaker 69 You didn't? No.

Speaker 6 Here's what happened is we found a house and then my wife all of a sudden, she's like, well, I want to redo the kitchen. I I want to redo the channel.

Speaker 21 That counts.

Speaker 69 Yeah, except for

Speaker 78 something.

Speaker 6 That's where it's going initially.

Speaker 53 Okay.

Speaker 24 Are you concerned about moving to Chicago? From our personal experience, at least mine, you put on a little weight when you move to Chicago. I need to put on some weight.

Speaker 6 I lose it. I lose it during the season.
I was down about 10, 15 pounds by the end of the year. That happens every season.

Speaker 79 Is that just stress?

Speaker 6 I don't know what it is. Maybe.
Okay.

Speaker 45 Yeah. I need that diet.

Speaker 24 I don't think that's going to be a problem in Chicago.

Speaker 85 Yeah.

Speaker 83 You keep squatting.

Speaker 53 405.

Speaker 7 Man.

Speaker 53 What a bench.

Speaker 6 Not nearly as much. Okay.
You know, Norwegian, Scandinavian. So I got the thick lowers.

Speaker 4 What was your peak squat?

Speaker 6 Peak squat

Speaker 6 was probably like 455. Yeah.

Speaker 58 That's pretty good to still be at pretty close to it. Yeah.

Speaker 28 Yeah.

Speaker 22 How old are you again? 39? 38.

Speaker 45 What about

Speaker 43 we're old? Yeah, we're very old.

Speaker 99 Shit.

Speaker 59 What about peak bench?

Speaker 24 Where at your max?

Speaker 6 315.

Speaker 24 That's still, that's not bad. Yeah.

Speaker 6 I can't get there. I'm nowhere near that now, though.

Speaker 24 What are you doing on calf raises?

Speaker 76 Oh.

Speaker 24 I could crush you in calf raises.

Speaker 59 How many, last, last question.

Speaker 67 How many Super Bowls do you have to win to become more famous than Caleb Presley?

Speaker 57 Who you went to the same high school, both went to UNC?

Speaker 6 I think you not only have to win

Speaker 6 multiple Super Bowls, I think you got to get the trifecta. I think you got to get three in a row.
Okay.

Speaker 63 Yeah.

Speaker 107 Maybe have Glenny Balls come and pump up the boys one time.

Speaker 21 That would be nice. On a Sunday morning.
Yes. Yes.

Speaker 100 I like where your head's I got his number if you need a guy I can I can contact you for him yeah just eating but big bowl of ice cream that'd be great in the background yeah in a playoff game it's like with a secret sauce you guys

Speaker 24 you guys get hard knocks and then you you give your like you know big fiery first speech of the season glenny's just sitting behind you in front of the whiteboard just eating yeah shoveling some rocky rodo.

Speaker 79 That's a bad thought.

Speaker 70 I mean, it is very funny.

Speaker 57 You told us right before that you would watch Sunday Conversation like before games just to kind of chill out. That was my pre-game routine.

Speaker 21 Glenny balls. That's right.

Speaker 99 What else? What a world.

Speaker 41 What else do you relax?

Speaker 21 What do you call this reverse?

Speaker 24 I feel like you're all football.

Speaker 24 What do you do to relax?

Speaker 6 Three kids, three young kids.

Speaker 104 I mean, they keep me on my toes all day.

Speaker 79 What ages are they?

Speaker 6 Eight, five, and one. Yeah.

Speaker 104 So I got my hands full.

Speaker 6 It's football and it's family. That's love that.

Speaker 64 That's life right now. Love that.
Yeah.

Speaker 17 All right.

Speaker 48 Well, coach, thank you so much.

Speaker 33 Great talking to you.

Speaker 13 And let's go win some games.

Speaker 42 That's my.

Speaker 6 That's the limit?

Speaker 11 Got to win. Okay.

Speaker 42 Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 70 I said a lot of reckless shit last summer.

Speaker 21 Okay.

Speaker 21 Let's go win this. So we're going to win.

Speaker 31 I went and I looked at the process.

Speaker 70 We made some tweaks to the process.

Speaker 80 We go win and then it gets back to 10 out of 10.

Speaker 21 I love it. I love it.
Let's do it.

Speaker 63 It's a good plan. All right.

Speaker 67 He was like, oh my God, Todd Bowles down the hallway.

Speaker 100 Why is he here?

Speaker 100 It's a combine.

Speaker 24 You love it, Chase. Chase looking around with stars in his eyes.

Speaker 17 I do, yeah.

Speaker 99 It's cool to see coaches rubbing elbows.

Speaker 62 It is one of my favorite trips that we do with you, although we don't do a lot of trips with you, but you do love the combine more than anyone.

Speaker 47 And it's like getting to see it through your eyes.

Speaker 109 It's cool to see guys in the wild, you know? Yeah.

Speaker 81 Guys in the wild.

Speaker 24 Indy.

Speaker 69 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 99 He's real wild.

Speaker 24 Who's the like biggest guy, not physically, but the one that you love the most that you've spotted in Indy the last couple of years that you've gotten excited about?

Speaker 39 Ooh,

Speaker 85 good question.

Speaker 109 I was excited to see Bucky Brooks

Speaker 109 of the Move the Six podcast, Rich Eisen. I've been a fan for for a long time, and him.

Speaker 109 Sarah Salsworth.

Speaker 75 Yep.

Speaker 109 Chris Collins, yeah, we just saw on the way to here. So, yeah, all the guys that you see, like guys that I will watch press conferences for on YouTube for the Bucs, and I get to see them.

Speaker 109 Like, you know, he's not with us anymore. He's alive, but he's with a different team.
Casey Rodgers, our defensive line coach like yeah you know it'd be cool

Speaker 43 it's it's a big it's the biggest uh week for like adults with backpacks i feel like i don't know that this hallway this convention center it's just yeah packs with like four people remember that time we saw rap port in his backpack it was so big

Speaker 24 he had the little shark backpack too on yeah i know it's a big backpack week it's a bit you see a bunch of dudes that used to be in shape are extremely well groomed when it comes to their facial hair hair, wearing lanyards and backpacks.

Speaker 72 Yeah, lanyards, big lanyards.

Speaker 109 Yeah, but this is basically like my Twitter feed and, you know, what I watch on YouTube come to life. Yeah.

Speaker 99 So it's cool. Love it.

Speaker 83 All right.

Speaker 109 All right, guys on chicks.

Speaker 43 It's like a fan fest, but just no for Steven Chet.

Speaker 24 I do like the description of like, it's his Twitter feed. Yeah.
He's walking through the hallways and it's like, oh, this is. Yeah, wow.

Speaker 64 I didn't see Bonnie Blue here.

Speaker 21 Yeah.

Speaker 7 Anyway. She's a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of

Speaker 53 a little uncomfortable with that one.

Speaker 109 I bought my new BF BF underwear for Christmas because his are old and gross. But I realized this week he hasn't opened the new pack.

Speaker 109 When I asked why, he said he prefers the old ones because he's already broken in the heat sleeve.

Speaker 109 When I asked what the heat sleeve was, he said it's the slit in the front, and he calls it that because on hot nights he'll pull out his package of sticking balls out of the heat sleeve and sleep that way so his balls don't stick to his legs.

Speaker 109 Okay. He told me that with the new undies, the heat sleeve is too tight and he can't get fully comfortable when his junk's out.
Should I leave him now or marry this man?

Speaker 43 That sounds like he's got a hammer.

Speaker 17 Yeah, it sounds like he's got a hat.

Speaker 24 I don't know. It sounds like he's also just very horny.
I think he takes that out of his sleeve every night, hoping that you'll roll over and accidentally touch it. Yeah.

Speaker 24 There's no real reason to pull the boys out.

Speaker 71 I didn't think he'd go heat sleeve.

Speaker 93 I will say in his defense, I'm a big time like get a package or get something and just not open it for a while.

Speaker 100 Like I just have boxes.

Speaker 86 I'm just like I especially if I order something online and I know what it is. Like, in my front hall right now, I have like a hat and new shoes and I know what they are.

Speaker 86 I just haven't gotten around to opening it.

Speaker 67 They've been sitting there for about a week.

Speaker 24 I thought with heat sleeve, he was going for like, you know, guys like to have our ass groove on the couch, right?

Speaker 24 We've broken that in throughout the years. When you get a new set of underwear, you have to break that in too.
Yeah. It's like, I know how I fit in my old stuff.

Speaker 103 Or it could.

Speaker 109 Do you ever get the underwear that just doesn't have a heat sleeve? No, just like a thing where you can pull your dick out in the front? That would be a heat sleeve.

Speaker 68 That's literally what we're talking about.

Speaker 93 How do you not know about a heat sleeve?

Speaker 99 I don't know. This is for what it was.

Speaker 24 But, like, I have some underwear where there's just nothing.

Speaker 56 Right, you got to pull down.

Speaker 41 No heat sleeve.

Speaker 85 What are we talking about?

Speaker 78 We're talking about heat sleeve.

Speaker 42 Yes.

Speaker 99 Oh, all right. Everyone knows the heat sleeves.

Speaker 24 You wiggle your penis through it and then you put it.

Speaker 56 Okay, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 55 You just read the

Speaker 36 question about the heat sleeve.

Speaker 78 We didn't know what a heat sleeve was until you told us.

Speaker 17 And now you still don't know what a heat sleeve is.

Speaker 109 Well, he was saying that it's too tight. I'm saying that there are some that don't even have one.

Speaker 28 Okay.

Speaker 109 Like it's a wall with no door.

Speaker 44 Yeah.

Speaker 43 Let's say

Speaker 43 you got a heat sleeve on and you're wearing a pants with a fly. How often are you actually going through versus going under? Never.

Speaker 64 Or over.

Speaker 75 And over.

Speaker 24 I think if it's a...

Speaker 43 I'm like 10%. It's a big heat sleeve.

Speaker 41 10%.

Speaker 24 I'll go through there, but sometimes it's easier to just pull down.

Speaker 47 I don't even use my fly because I know I'll just end up pissing on myself.

Speaker 24 But then sometimes if you go over the top, it kind of pinches it off a little bit.

Speaker 44 Why go balls over the top, too?

Speaker 59 When you put it away, you dribble out, you squirt out a little bit at the end.

Speaker 24 Well, I dribble on my balls in that case.

Speaker 99 My big ass

Speaker 47 tiny penis, big balls.

Speaker 79 Side pouch.

Speaker 99 No side pouch, but I want one.

Speaker 24 Hey, guys, my parents. Do people have sex through the heat sleeve?

Speaker 26 Yeah, definitely. Mormons.

Speaker 83 Oh, what?

Speaker 24 Yeah, it's weird.

Speaker 99 For sure, Mormons.

Speaker 109 Why would you not just pull a whole thing down?

Speaker 24 It's a good question.

Speaker 47 Why would you believe that Steve Young's great-grandfather was God?

Speaker 64 Who about you?

Speaker 109 My favorite quarterback run ever against the Vikings.

Speaker 85 Hi, guys.

Speaker 109 My boyfriend's friends are pissed off at him because I made him go out to dinner with me twice last weekend, Valentine's Day weekend. It was for Valentine's Day, the other one was Saturday night, too.

Speaker 109 His friends say he should just continue to be a bachelor for life, especially since they claimed he has changed and couldn't even get him to come out to watch USA Skullfuck Canada.

Speaker 109 Are they overreacting at him?

Speaker 109 Overreacting on him for the time time I am spending with him? Yes. I don't understand

Speaker 109 why they were so mad at me for making him miss the hockey game.

Speaker 24 His buddies love him, and you're a threat. Yeah.

Speaker 2 You got to give him some.

Speaker 66 You got to give him a couple big ones, like the USA Canada would have been a good one, because then immediately guys are dumb.

Speaker 5 And

Speaker 47 if your friend is like, yeah, I'm coming out for USA Canada, they'd be like, oh, man, you really are dating a cool chick.

Speaker 85 I like her.

Speaker 24 On Valentine's Day? I might try to take a pass at her. That would be a tough one to explain.
Like, why are you skipping Valentine's Day?

Speaker 24 Well, because there's this tournament that just got created that I care deeply about.

Speaker 43 If you're a hockey fan, you could make it pass, but to be like, yeah, I got to lock in for USA Canada.

Speaker 71 Also, yeah, this is partly his fault.

Speaker 90 Like, you need to, the sports calendar is set.

Speaker 72 I think most women know what the sports calendar is.

Speaker 67 When you have like a Four Nations thing,

Speaker 86 you need to do a lot of prep work.

Speaker 17 You need to be like, hey, listen, there's a tournament coming up.

Speaker 3 Because

Speaker 3 that's not something normal that's in the sports count.

Speaker 24 You got to say, my country needs me. Yeah, right.

Speaker 43 Yeah, if you're going to. It's got to sound young, too.
Yeah. Yeah, I think.

Speaker 24 So that's a classic.

Speaker 79 That's probably the first one with a serious girlfriend.

Speaker 24 Yeah, you're so whipped. You went out to Valentine's Day dinner with your girlfriend.

Speaker 42 Yeah, that's crazy, dude.

Speaker 24 That's so gay.

Speaker 63 Yeah.

Speaker 109 Going out to Valentine's Day dinner and the next day with a new girlfriend is crazy. Because Valentine's Day dinner, that's going to run you 200 bucks at minimum.

Speaker 21 Yeah.

Speaker 20 There is a good chance. Chili's

Speaker 21 at Minimal.

Speaker 21 Yeah.

Speaker 41 There's a good chance that they like each other.

Speaker 70 Yeah, it sounds like they made it official.

Speaker 109 Yeah. Space it out a little bit.

Speaker 17 Have you ever gone out two nights in a row?

Speaker 75 Yes, I have.

Speaker 85 Easy casting.

Speaker 21 Valentine's, they like the event.

Speaker 63 This is just a situation where the guys are going through culture shock.

Speaker 72 They probably all are single and then there's one guy who's got a girlfriend. You just got to ride the wave.

Speaker 53 It'll be fine.

Speaker 43 They'll all feel stupid once again because they're not serious, even if they are. Yeah.

Speaker 43 Oh, yeah, that's just how we joke. Yeah.

Speaker 24 If you have some girlfriends that are also single, you should introduce them to his guy friends. Correct.

Speaker 79 That way, hook them up.

Speaker 59 Worlds Collide. Yep.

Speaker 59 All right.

Speaker 109 How much would you say my boyfriend should, how much say should my boyfriend have in decorating our apartment? My boyfriend and I are about to move in together to a small two-bedroom apartment.

Speaker 109 He has a plethora of sports memorabilia/slash frat boy decor that he claims is non-negotiable to be hung in the apartment. Some of these items include a huge canvas of dogs playing poker.

Speaker 75 Cool.

Speaker 26 Signed awesome dudes rock.

Speaker 56 Signed Braves baseball bats. Okay.

Speaker 109 Light up vintage bush light sign slash other beer sign.

Speaker 109 The absolute worst of them all is a four-foot bobblehead of John Gruden that we threw together.

Speaker 75 Oh, yeah, you heard that.

Speaker 24 Send it to us. Yeah.

Speaker 43 Send it to our office.

Speaker 109 Being in a two-bedroom apartment does not give enough room to have a man cave. Should all these items be up in our new apartment together.

Speaker 24 I was getting ready to take her side in this and being like, guy, he probably doesn't want that much space.

Speaker 24 He doesn't care that much about decorating because if you go over to a woman's apartment, especially in college

Speaker 24 and compare it to a guy's,

Speaker 56 it's literally two different species.

Speaker 5 I think what you need to do is you need to do the right thing, get him a storage locker, and be like, when we have more space, you will have your own space.

Speaker 80 If you make him get rid of the four-foot bobblehead, that will be a part of his life that will die forever.

Speaker 53 All right.

Speaker 59 By the way, I think Hooters is...

Speaker 43 Wait, no, there's one more.

Speaker 43 The one I texted you. I'll read it.

Speaker 79 Okay.

Speaker 72 I just broke it. I don't know what I did.
I'm so strong.

Speaker 100 Shout out to Planet Fitness.

Speaker 60 I'm so fucking strong.

Speaker 81 Max, just hold it for him. Yeah.

Speaker 79 Like a fish.

Speaker 17 Well, let's just end the show.

Speaker 56 What's up, boys?

Speaker 43 And Wally Pitt Max. Are wives and girlfriends justified to be mad about your Instagram algorithm?

Speaker 43 Thankfully, I haven't had to deal with this, but I was just curious what a girl would think if she saw my algorithm is 100% big natural tits. Same.
Love the show. I'll hang up and listen.

Speaker 26 No, it's AI.

Speaker 67 I think it's just like we do click on the tits though, so I get more tits.

Speaker 24 Guys and girls both love tits.

Speaker 19 Yeah, but it's AI.

Speaker 89 What are you gonna do?

Speaker 61 I mean, you can't you can't get mad at technology, right, Max?

Speaker 24 What's yours, Hank?

Speaker 60 What is yours? Golf?

Speaker 43 It's like 80% golf. No, there's some, there's some, there's some tits mixed in, but mostly golf.

Speaker 24 So mine used to be mine used to be 100% planes and dogs. Jello and Muffies.

Speaker 37 Now mine's a lot of tits.

Speaker 24 Sharks and tits.

Speaker 74 That's some good stuff right there.

Speaker 71 I curate it.

Speaker 58 Like if I see, if I pass by tits, because you got to click on it, that way you get more tits.

Speaker 24 All right, I haven't checked this.

Speaker 15 It's like a bottomless coffee cup of tits.

Speaker 24 It was, it used to be planes and dogs. Now it's dogs and football.

Speaker 24 I think I'm living right. Yeah.

Speaker 55 No, you can't get mad at technology.

Speaker 71 Take it up with Elon or Zuckerberg.

Speaker 1 That's not his fault.

Speaker 11 Just be you like what you like.

Speaker 32 And also, it's good to know that they're just a what is it what is yours?

Speaker 85 And William Bluttman.

Speaker 53 And Bluttman. All right.

Speaker 55 Kanye Che. Yeah,

Speaker 55 you can't get mad at us for that.
