Yeah.

Part of my take.

Yeah.

Part of my take.

Yeah.

Part of my take.

Yeah.

Part of my take.

Yeah.

Part of my take.

Welcome to Part of my take Kings pick six. The crown is yours.
Today is Wednesday, January 15th, and the Los Angeles Rams are a problem because they demolished the Minnesota Vikings who end with one of the weirdest seasons possible. 14 wins, four losses.
They only lost to two teams. They lost to the Lions and the Rams.
That's it. Great team.
We're not playing those two teams. Yeah, they won five games to start the season, lost to the teams they lost to the the lions and the rams that's it great team we're not playing those two teams yeah they won five games to start the season lost to the lions and rams ripped off nine wins and then lost the lions and rams yeah it's tough it's tough but in a way this it if you go out like this it does make it maybe a little bit easier when it comes time to make a decision on sam darnold yeah the sam darnold pumpkin did inold pumpkin did in fact happen.
Now he got sacked a million times, but yeah, the Rams defense was incredible. The Rams just overall, like we were sniffing around it.
We're like, what is Sean McVay up to? Yeah, he doesn't care about seating. He had a perfect game plan.
The Rams look great. Stafford looked like he was healthy for the first time in a long time.
But yeah, I agree. Some of those were Sam Darnold not seeing it.
And I think Troy might have said it. Maybe it was in week 18 someone said that the problem with Sam Darnold is he has to see it to throw it, guy.
He's not throwing as much anticipation and throwing guys open. And he couldn't see it last night.
Yeah, Troy, there was something up with Troy's voice.

Did you notice that?

Yeah, also.

It seemed like he was also, he was very, very frustrated.

I love when Troy Aikman gets mad at a team because he gets so disgusted.

He just hates bad football.

Yeah, and he was so mad about them being down 18,

and they were running the ball and going slow to the line.

That was a problem for me, too, in the third quarter.

Yeah.

You're down, how many scores did they have, two or three?

They were down 18, I believe.

They were down 18 points, and they're calling like three running plays in a row and taking their time getting in the huddle getting up to the ball like you got to go at this point and at that i felt like kevin o'connell just knew he wasn't going to win he's like it's not in the cards today yeah so what's really what's what's the rush yeah so um the couple things minnesota we've talked about this before uh min fans listening to this right now, you guys deserve credit for being one of the most cursed sports cities out there. The last time they were in a championship round was 1991 with the twins.
They've had some really, really like the problem with the Minnesota sports is they're actually like good, but they're never good enough to win.

And they haven't had a title in whatever it is, yeah, 30 years.

And they have all four major teams.

And the Vikings especially feel like that curse franchise where they have these seasons where they're phenomenal.

And then they fall flat and everything went wrong for them last night.

Yeah, it's like if you built an entire city out of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yeah.
That's what their sports teams have been like. I do feel bad for them.
I do too. This is a good team.
Yeah. And now they have to face some – it's not just Sam Darnold.
They have a lot of free agents coming up this offseason, and you have to figure out what's going on with your coach because he doesn't have a contract. Yes.
And he's probably going to win Coach of the Year, as he should. He had a great season, but he's not locked in for the long term yet yeah he it did feel like the last two games he got I don't want to I mean it just didn't go well I mean the the Rams did a lot of what Aaron Glenn did in week 18 defensively um and yeah they they I think honestly for like a positive spin zone for Vikings fans this is as much as it's frustrating because you're a 14 win team and you lose like that in the first round.
This might be a long term positive because you are not going to give Sam Donald a long term contract. You might still franchise tag him just because that gives you flexibility.
If J.J. McCarthy is not all the way ready and you could you could potentially trade Sam Donald to a team that needs him for two first rounders for him him.
Right. So I could still see that happening, but in a weird way, this is actually a positive where it's like you're not going to commit to Sam Darnold long-term after how this season ended.
I also was talking to a friend of mine who's a Vikings fan last night, and it is crazy to look back. The Minnesota Vikings have a special skill where they uh old quarterbacks or quarterbacks on like their fourth or fifth stop really fucking good for a year and then it just completely vanishes so going back uh randall cunningham when he was 39 years old this was after he retired he retired for a year he had the second best qb rating of his career with the Minnesota Vikings.
Jeff George, he was on his fourth team. He had his best career QB rating for the Minnesota Vikings.
Brett Favre, he was 40 years old, and this is crazy. Brett Favre had his best career QB rating with the Minnesota Vikings when he was 40, then turned back to dust.
It happened with Case Keenum, his fourth team, best season of his career, best QB rating, turned to dust it's happened with case keenum his fourth team best season of his career best qb rating turned to dust and then sam darnold again best fourth team best season of his career best qb rating it's something about the and i think really what the answer is the vikings are elite at drafting wide receivers and running backs so it's a really good place for a quarterback to go but they've had this in the last 20 years where a quarterback comes in Josh Dobbs Josh Dobbs yeah like they did leave one out that that goes against that narrative what McNabb yeah McNabb was bad yeah I remember going to to to watch Bears Vikings and maybe it was like 2012 and McNabb it was a Monday night football game and uh he was just throwing the ball into the dirt yeah that was fat McNabb yeahapp yeah it was bad but he they do have this ability to to make these quarterbacks on their fourth team or late in their career have career years and then it's just poof they're back to nothing uh but now that happened again but you have jj mccarthy look at their free agents coming up right now okay sam darnold yeah Aaron Jones. Yeah.
Cam Akers. Byron Murphy.
Cam Robinson is a free agent.

Good. Look at their free agents coming up right now.
Okay. Sam Darnold.
Yeah. Aaron Jones.
Yeah.

Cam Akers.

Byron Murphy.

Cam Robinson is a free agent.

Good draft for running backs up.

Yep.

Shaq Griffin and Stephon Gilmore.

Okay.

So they've got a lot of free agents.

They still, though, I think they have a lot of cap space.

73 million.

They draft well. They have a good coach, and they have J.J.
McCarthy.

So as much as that was a painful season. And Daniel Jones in that room.
It got so bad last night that I honestly wanted to see Daniel Jones. I thought it was maybe going to happen.
I saw some people being like, man, if the Vikings had just been bad this year, we would have had a great draft pick, and then we would have been with JJ McCarthy I I still think like I mean the season had to have been fun yeah like I know it ended poorly but like there's no you can't root for sport you're a team and root for sports and just every year being like oh just get a good draft pick that's not fun for next year yeah we should be loaded for next year also we don't know how JJ McCarthy is going to play in December play in december and january he can't go outside and touch grass that's true in minnesota that's true but he so i i like as weirdly as that game went for the vikings and you know i don't want to say they were frauds because they they were they won 14 games the vikings were this is not the same vikings that we saw a couple years ago with a negative point differential and they lost in the playoffs the giants i think. I think it's a different feel to the season.
They were a legitimately good team. Maybe it's just they have two kryptonites.
They have the Rams and they have the Lions. The Lions.
So if you can get a schedule next season where you don't play the Lions somehow, that would be optimal for the Vikings. The week 17 Vikings celebration after Packers win looks a little bit not as fun.
Well, you know what? It's also the same thing.

Like... That would be optimal for the Vikings.
The Week 17 Vikings celebration after the Packers win looks a little bit not as fun. Well, you know what? It's also the same thing.
We talked about this earlier in the season. Teams, after they play the Lions, suck.
So as long as you don't play the Rams right after you play the Lions. They did that twice.
You had to do it twice. You might be better than the Rams.
You just happen to have gotten your ass kicked by the Lions. Yeah and on the flip side as for the rams i'm concerned about my pinky max you should be concerned about this game on sunday they looked really fucking good in their defense we're going to talk about it with booger more but their defense is very good their pass rush is awesome uh what are you thinking it's playoffs second round of the playoffs you're going to play good teams.
Rams are a good team. Eagles are a better team.
Oh, fuck yeah. Got to get Jalen Hurts out of concussion protocol.
Jalen Hurts will be fine. Okay.
What do you think about... Better game plan.
Oh, better game plan. What do you think about the game plan matchup of Nick Sirianni and Sean McVay? Who do you think has the edge? Nick Sirianni, better winning percentage.

Yeah, that's true.

That's a good point.

That's true.

Sean McVay, he does – I was about to say he doesn't get enough credit.

He does get a lot of credit.

Oh, yeah.

But I guess I'll just say it's all very well-deserved.

Yeah, absolutely well-deserved.

He's a great, great coach.

Yeah, and I – so I don't know.

This is ties for the deepest the pinky team has gotten. I believe the Texans also got to the divisional round.
Weren't in the stink. There's some people who are expecting me to cut off my entire finger.
I'm not going to do that. I still don't know legally how we can do it.
I would cut the whole thing off. If the Rams win the Super Bowl? No, and I'm just saying if it were me that had the pinky bet, I would be a man about it.
I'm going to do the tip of my pinky. I am officially nervous, though.
I don't know what else to say. Well, when you look at the Rams, they've got a great head coach.
They've got a quarterback who if we get the Matt Stafford that we got on Monday night, he could win the Super Bowl. Yeah, except for that pass that the Vikings got screwed on that.
That was a fumble. That was a fumble.
That was a fumble.

It's like a loophole.

You can't just drop it.

That was as much of a fumble as a fumble gets.

He dropped the ball.

It's like the tuck rule.

That was a loophole.

That's a savvy vet.

That was a savvy vet.

I said it, best throw he's ever made.

It was a great throw. He had a receiver that was technically in the area.

We need to revamp intentional grounding. Because there's so many times when it's clearly when you throw the ball directly at the feet of your receiver on a screen that you're trying to get rid of.
You're not trying to complete the pass there. Well, it's the only rule in football where the refs always have to huddle up and be like, all right, what'd you see? What'd you see? Every other rule, you just throw a flag.
And they they do the sad little impotent flag after they have the conversation they just take it out of the pocket and just drop it and let gravity do the work yeah at least throw the flag after it but yeah we need to think about intentional grounding because there's so many times where you'll see a quarterback just spike the ball on the ground yeah and they're like well there was a receiver in the area yeah so i i'm i'm worried about the ramps i i do have someone who's actually worse off than me right now. I don't know if you guys saw this floating around.
This is from someone. I don't know his full username on Reddit, but he said, Hello, fellow degenerates.
As many of you are aware, two months ago I made a bet that I would chop off my humongous ding-dong if Notre Dame Fighting Irish won the college football playoffs. at the time it seemed like a safe and comical that if Notre Dame wins the national championship, I will firmly stick to my word and receive a professional surgery that will safely remove my penis the timeline for this though will have to be flexible as i do have to consider my wife who would like to have at least two children in the event that i have to follow through with my bet she has agreed to accelerate our family planning so i can get the surgery as soon as possible.
I refuse to let my team be cursed. And if it means that I will lose my cock in the process, then so be it.
Also, just FYI, I'm banned from CFB memes, so I cannot respond to anything there. I can't believe I'm saying this, but go Buckeyes.
That rocks. I love that he just threw in, like, by the way, the mods over at r slash CFB kicked me off.
Yeah. And took away my freedom of speech.
Fuck them. So I'll post it here.
Yeah, because I keep talking about my penis getting cut off. What about your picky toe? Oh.
Will that fuck up my balance? Yeah. Do both.
Listen, I have no... Remember when...
I think it was the Texans year. We were in Baton Rouge.
That was never close, though. No, I mean, they were...
Yeah, but they... This feels very...
This very real. Let's win this game.
Let's relax. Well, no, I was about to say that if you think about this matchup, we're fucked.
With the Eagles and the Rams, the Rams have the better coach, I think. Yeah.
The Rams have the better quarterback, I think. The Rams' strength on their defense, it's their front four.
They were just getting the backfield. I actually think that the Eagles will be able to neutralize that.
Yeah. Because your offensive line is so good.
I hope so. We ran for 300 yards against this D.
Okay, do it again. Yeah.
Also, if Saquon Barkley does what the rest of the NFL wants them to do, the Eagles win that game 29-10 on Sunday. Yeah, that's true.
And it's different. The scoreboard, well, I mean, that was a huge thing yesterday that everyone was talking about was why Saquon went down.
Oh, yeah. Team player.
Yeah, he's a team player. Maybe AJ gets his nose out of the quote book and into the playbook.
No, did you see that? Did you see that? They found another picture of him reading it in a game where he had 100 yards and 15 targets. Actually, 97 yards.
All right. Semantics, please.
I'm just telling you it was 97 yards. Do you remember when we were in the year that the Texans were like, I think they started 0-3 and then won like 10 in a row or something.
We were at a tailgate in Baton Rouge. And now we're at a tailgate in Baton Rouge.
So this all comes under the idea that we were all hammered. But I talked to a doctor and I asked him if he could surgically cut off my pinky.
A Louisiana doctor. And he was like, legally, no doctor will ever do that.
Because you can't just be like, I lost a bet. Cut off my pinky.
Maybe go to like Turkey or like Tijuana or something. They do the hair surgeries and also have doctors that will remove fingers.
Yeah. Just take off a digit.
How about you just go over Saudi Arabia, get caught stealing. Ah, gamble.
Yeah. Yeah.
Chop it right off. Also, I did see I forgot to mention this.
Phil Fanac on Twitter said, Darnold got his screen shaken, shaking routes squiggly as fuck wide receiver icon showing up his question marks all that shit that's exactly what happened last night he was playing with the stadium pulse at a million yeah and he couldn't see anything and it sucks that he has the scene ghost clip out there yeah because i'm sure other quarterbacks have said stuff like that and they've been mic'd up when they said it but ESPN. Yeah, he did.
He got double fucked by ESPN because they also did the out indefinitely mononucleosis graph on him. Yep.
And they did the scene. Yep.
Somebody at ESPN hates Sam Darnold. Yep.
And now every time he has these games, which most quarterbacks will have a game like that where they get nervous because they get hit a lot. Yep.
It's coming from weird directions. But with him, he's seeing ghosts.
What's Haley Joel Osmond. What happens to Sam Donald? Do you think another team signs him? I go back to what I said on Sunday night, which is that they should franchise him, and then the Steelers should go out there and trade two first-round picks for him.
Man, that would be bad for the Steelers. I also did a poll, and a lot of Steelers fans were like, Tomlin's got to go.
That does feel like the vibe well Tomlin might have to go but if you're Mike Tomlin I I almost feel like Tomlin should want to go yeah because but but then again he has the he's the king of the castle true you don't give up the king of the castle but with with Tomlin he has gotten some like very mediocre teams and some below average teams to the playoffs yeah right we agree on that, that the personnel and the offensive scheme especially hasn't always been great in Pittsburgh. So he's done more with less.
If you're Mike Tomlin, aren't you like, get me a quarterback, general manager, get me another wide receiver, general manager, get me some offensive line help. That's on the GM.
That's not on Mike Tomlin. But he signs off on every single draft pick and every free agent signing like literally everything he is he touches everything in that entire organization that was because i made that point and people were like dude tomlin he has full control no one gets drafted in pittsburgh without tomlin approved without giving a thumbs up yeah but yeah but also he's like very much involved in the draft process too so i think both sides should want it's better if you go somewhere else yeah i see it as an andy reed situation yeah yeah yeah like you ran him out of town we did not run him out of town and i don't think i don't think steelers fans necessarily would be running mike tomlin out of town but i think sometimes it's good for both parties to you know.
The difference is with Andy Reid, they bottomed out.

True.

Right.

So that's the problem with Tomlin is he's too good of a coach to ever bottom out.

If the Steelers won three games this year, I think the situation is a lot easier.

Andy Reid also had the never can win the big one thing.

That's true.

And he had clock management issues.

But that was a big nab.

Yeah. It'll be interesting.
I don't clock management issues. But that was with NAB.
Yeah.

It will be interesting.

I don't know.

So, yeah, the Rams are a problem.

I'm officially nervous.

Max, we need to go to war.

I'm going to war side by side with you again.

This just might be the situation, all playoffs.

I'm nervous.

I think next week, I think there's still 22 to 1 to win the Super Bowl. Yeah.
I was thinking about betting them, and I was like, wait, what am I doing? Why would I want to do that? Yeah, you don't want to do that. Yeah, like $100,000 doesn't make me happy that I am in this.
Also, if people wanted – I did have a bunch of people being like, dude, we don't actually want to see your pinky get chopped off. If anyone had any other ideas, I'm committed to much like the dick chop-off guy.
You're too early on this. But I'm committed to it.
I'm committed to it. I know, but let's...
Let's win. Let's see what happens this weekend.
Let's win. Yeah, you shouldn't get...
Don't get nervous until the NFC Championship game. There's a lot of football out there.
But Jalen Hurts is concussed. It's true.
Do you think that when Dan Campbell shook hands with Kevin O'Connell at midfield and said, we'll see you in a couple weeks, do you think he met Cancun? Uh-oh. Nice PFC.
Imagine. Yeah.
Was that the Lions? Imagine if your pinky was riding on Jay Daniels. Yeah.
Listen, that wouldn't – he's done crazy things. Like, just get me late in the game with a one-score game, and I'd be like, yeah, this will work.
Yep. Don't give away too much.
That's part of my keys to the game. All right, so the other big news we had was the Cowboys are officially moving on from Mike McCarthy.
Really kind of fucked him. Jerry Jones is a dick.
He's an asshole. He blocked him from doing interviews.
He's also a pussy. He's a dick, an asshole, and a pussy.
Yeah, it's crazy. So I thought he was going to stay because they were blocking him.
But clearly, that's not the case. There was also, did you see the reports that Belichick, like that was a place Belichick would have been interested in, but he had done some like back channelingeling, and they said the job wasn't opening up when he was considering UNC.
So Jerry Jones is just going off day-to-day vibes. Or he was waiting until Monday Night Football of Wild Card Weekend.
As Mike Florio told us, he likes to drop this type of news during a time when the spotlight's on the NFL. Yeah.
And so he might have just waited to do the news dump on the Monday night, the opposite of a news dump, where he could get the most attention, in which case it's a world-class asshole move. And now Mike McCarthy, I'm assuming that he's going to get an interview tomorrow with three teams.
Yeah, so I've thought long and hard about it. I've made a list of spin zones, reasons why Mike McCarthy will be fine if he ends up being the Bears head coach.
Walls are talking. The walls are talking.
What are the walls saying? The walls are talking. It's a done deal.
Which wall? The same walls that said Christian McCaffrey would never take another snap again. Different wall, though.
But same walls. All right.
So here's my list. You guys can tell me.
I just want to say, first of all, I don't even remember ever saying anything bad about Mike McCarthy. So, like, I was thinking about it, like, the interview, if he becomes a Bears head coach that we do with him, won't even be that funny.
Like, I can't remember saying anything bad about Mike McCarthy. So here's my list.
You've always said he looks intelligent. Yeah.
You've always said that he here's my list he looks intelligent yeah you've always said that he looks svelte yeah and I've always said that he looks skinny and smart to my knowledge I've never said it um all right so uh here's my spin zones uh when we do the eventual interview with Mike McCarthy Bears head coach uh Mike McCarthy is so grotesquely fat that I'll actually look skinny next to him okay that's true does that feel right it feels mean i've never said anything mean about mike mccarthy well you just said he's grotesquely fat oh shit yeah um his clock management can't get worse than eberfluses that is probably true but we don't know because we haven't seen we never saw eberflus play in a very important game. Yeah, true.
Analytics, he's got the pro football. What are you looking up? You're looking up all the Mike McCarthy tweets? Just every time.
Again, I've never said anything bad about him. He's got all the computer guys.
He's got all the computer guys. He's got a PFF subscription.
Listen, how about this? Mike McCarthy, when he does that really dumb, fat look to the Jumbotron, one, there's no Jumbotron in Soldier Field. Two, I feel like that's kind of relatable.
I look stupid when I'm confused and have that like, oh, God, I wish I could change this. So Mike McCarthy, he's a relatable head coach.
Not many out there. Yeah.
He hates fruit so much that he smashes it. Yeah.
Right. Exactly.
I have that on there. He's not from Chicago, but that doesn't mean you can't love the Bears.
Right? Right? Yeah, that's a good point. He will maybe smash a watermelon.
I would love to smash a watermelon with Mike McCarthy. I think that's got to be your, like, when he signs video.
Smashing the watermelon. Yeah.
Like, you should get that on deck. Yeah.
He knows how to beat the Packers. Yep.
Sometimes that was his own team that he was beating, but he does know how to beat the Packers. He's 174 and 112 all-time as a coach.
That's what I'm saying. He's a good coach.
And he has a Super Bowl.

I'm talking to myself.

I'm just trying to get ahead of it because I feel like this is going to happen. When you say that he knows how to beat the Packers,

would you also say that he knows how to beat the Bears?

He does know how to beat the Bears.

But that was an Aaron Rodgers merchant.

That hurts me, actually.

Never mind.

Memes, you want Mike McCarthy.

Oh, yeah.

I would take him in a second.

Really?

Three straight seasons of 12-5. The Jets haven't had a winning record in 10 years.
Yeah. You reunite him with Aaron Rodgers? 10.
2015 was the last winning season, and we didn't make the playoffs. Oh, I said I don't think Mike McCarthy is capable of a non-embarrassing loss.
It's either win the Super Bowl or something hilariously dumb will happen, no in-between. That's not that.
us that's good for the show yeah good for the show yeah we're going spin zones here these are all spin zones he just he looks like a chicago guy yeah he's a pittsburgh it's the pittsburgh it's the dick uh yeah pittsburgh connection yeah the uh i i i don't know yeah you remember when they had him on nickelodeon yeah painted his face and made him look all angry. I told you big, fat, dumb Mike McCarthy season has arrived.
See? All right. So maybe I've said some things about Mike McCarthy.
This would be a very funny interview. It seems like this might be some self-loathing, too, because a lot of the criticisms you have about Mike McCarthy apply directly to Coach Doug's.
Yeah. Yeah.
Bad clock management. Yeah.
Grotesquely fat. Mm-hmm.
Uh, I think it's going to happen, though. I think he, the Saints, though, he was an assistant on the Saints.
I would personally rather live in New Orleans. Yeah.
Not that I hate Chicago. It's just New Orleans is the best city on planet Earth.
I don't know if I'd want to live in New Orleans. Oh, I would.
I'd like to visit New Orleans. I would love to live there.
Visiting New Orleans is great. What?

There's a good one in 2020.

Just finished taping PMT.

Great show coming, and we've done the impossible.

We've talked ourselves into liking Mike McCarthy.

What was that context?

After what?

After what game?

Who knows?

Memes is looking.

This one wasn't as good.

They could definitely win the Super Bowl.

I'm talking about the Cowboys, but just remember that big –

oh, no, this is about the Packers.

Oh, no, this is Cowboys,

but just remember that big fat face of Mike McCarthy during crunch time.

That will keep you grounded.

They beat the Texans 35-20 on October 25, 2020.

Who could forget?

Yeah.

That storied rivalry.

Okay. Okay.
So, okay so memes you take them sure okay because right now i i who is in the lead right now for the jets head coach rex ryan no rex ryan was ruled out oh he was officially oh you should have let him you should have strung him along so he could have done more countdown you know stuff oh it was the mike mccarthy maybe when he did the swag dance that was pretty cool they should just not tell rex ryan and so then as the season progresses rex is always like well maybe they'll fire him this week yeah and they might come to me yeah it could still be mine so if mike mccarthy goes to the bears a lot of people are thinking Aaron Glenn might go to the Saints, which might leave the Jets with Matt Nagy or Arthur Smith. Two friends of the show.
Yeah. That's great.
And this is Ben Johnson going to the Raiders under this assumption? Yep. I actually think that Mike McCarthy would be a good coach for the Bears.
I think it could be way worse I've talked I've talked myself you do not want Ron Rivera like if you know I understand why the McCaskey family is attracted to the idea of Ron Rivera for history in terms of a football coach I don't think he's a serious candidate you could not make a worse decision I want Ben Johnson or Todd Munkin those are the two but I yeah it yeah, the walls have made me very nervous with how this seems to be going forward. All right.
Anything else for, oh, Deion Sanders talked to Jerry Jones, which would be very funny. That's what I want.
Yeah. I mean, if you're a fan of the NFL and just following the Cowboys being just insane, you want Deion Sanders.
I also want it because it would be very funny if it was the Cowboys trade Dak to Cleveland. Cleveland has Dak and Deshaun, and then they trade their first pick, and then Deion takes Shador or Travis Hunter and then coaches the Cowboys.
So if you're Deion, you would want to coach your son. You don't want to go to the NFL for the first time as a head coach and then immediately have another team draft your son.
Yeah. I imagine that he's going to want Shador.
Yeah, I would imagine. I'd want Travis Hunter more.
Also with Dak, he does have a no trade glove. You don't think he'd wave it for Cleveland? Cleveland.
I mean, they got everything else. Listen, Deshaun Watson having another Achilles injury is a great thing for the Browns.
I was talking to Zoopy about it. One of our coworkers is a Browns fan.
Like, you don't want him playing anymore. Just be done.
Like, if Russell Wilson taught us anything, just like, get off. Get on with your mistake.
You also don't want him using your team-issued rehab staff. Correct.
And that's another year of that. Just stay away.
Like, start moving on. There's no reason to pretend there's going to be anything different.
Like, Deshaun Watson's not going to come back from double Achilles surgery and horrendous last four years and all of a sudden be Deshaun Watson from the Texans. Yeah.
He's just not. So it's actually almost better.
Like, it's taking the choice out where it's like, we're just going to move on from this. He wasn't even Tron Watson from the Texans yeah he's just not so it's actually almost better like it's taking the choice out where it's like we're just gonna move on from this he wasn't even Tron Watson from the Texans right after he was off the Texans right he was he's been bad from the get-go yeah um all right so yeah any other cleanup from this week oh Max would you like to uh disavow the Philly fan complete disavow that guy was a huge asshole but big dom has already taken care of it so we're good yeah so for people who missed it there was a viral video of a packers fan basically getting verbally harassed by a eagles fan it was a woman bad verbally bad verbally harassed like shitty shitty stuff uh and then that guy has been doxxed i believe and, and he's been banned from the Eagle, and Big Dom has contacted the woman, the Packers fan, and hooked him up with the care package.
Big Dom saved the day. Yeah, Big Dom saved the day because there was worries that that guy was going to be karma for all of Philadelphia, but now Philadelphia has removed themselves and that guy from the situation.
That's a bad guy. He's not affiliated with anything Philadelphia Eagles.
I like that. Take a strong stand against it.
And then after they doxed him, some of the reports were like, this guy had a daughter and he was married to a woman. How could he say these things? Oh, my God.
Like, you have to have a daughter to know to not call a woman a cunt. Yeah, but he clearly didn't.
Max, I'm not so sure that this completely removes the stink and the curse. It's a bad look for Philadelphia.
I understand he does not represent Philadelphia, and you guys have taken all necessary steps up to this point to get this guy out of the picture, which I appreciate. I got an idea.
But it's Big Dom. Yeah.
I have an idea, too. Okay, go.
Okay. So my good friend, The Beeb from Hard Factor, he sent me the official NFL fan rehabilitation quiz.
Oh. This is what fans have to do to get invited back to the stadium.
I love this. If they get kicked out for fighting, for puking, if there's like a kid behind them hypothetically that they turn around and they put their hand down their throat and they make themselves throw up on that kid you're just talking all philly stories city um in order to get back into the stadium they have to do an official fan rehabilitation quiz to make sure that they're ready i think you should take this quiz i'll take the quiz all right i can take we have it right now i i have it uh i think it's probably too long to do on the show can we find one or two questions i was thinking for uh for we do we're gonna it for PMTV.
Oh, that's perfect. We'll do it for PMTV.
All right, so tune in to PMTV. Max, take the quiz.
I had another one I was just going to say. We have AWLs who are fans of all teams.
Maybe you should just take a Packer fan out to dinner. We gave the Packer fan a care package.
Okay give i'll you know what actually fine follow what no you find i'll take scumbag jack mccarthy out no no no not jack mccarthy buy buy one random awl packer fan lunch you don't have to you don't have to take them out deal just have to take like they'll tweet at you you you just say hey you know tell me where tell me where the food's going boom done deal or if you just want to like send me a receipt i'll demo you for what's going on oh no you said you'd do the class yeah i said i said i thought it was a test yes yeah it's a test it's a it's a class than test you said test different than a class. You need a class.
I'm not taking a class. It's a four-hour online test class.
Four hours? That's what he just showed me. And it specifies the NFL stadium.
Like, there's a Philadelphia class. I'll do that.
Okay, here's what it includes. That's my whole day tomorrow.
What is disruptive fan behavior? Review of the stadium alcohol policy. Education on stadium safety.
Skills in game day empathy. Skills in improving game day communication.
Skills in game day stress management. Actually, you could use all these things.
Game day drinking can be dangerous. That's one of the modules.
Yes. I think you should take this class.
I'll take the class. I'll take the class.
And that removes all stink from this guy. Yeah, and the lunch.
And the lunch. Yes.
Lunch. And someone send me their receipt for lunch.
I'll Venmo you your receipt for lunch. I need you to be curse-free through these playoffs.
I need you to be curse-free, especially this weekend. Yeah, no, I'll take the class and I'll Venmo a Packer fan for lunch.
Fuck yes. Okay, this is good.
We need to get all the stink off. Four hours is crazy.
All the stink off. You better pass it.
You also should, you know what? He also. You're not going to pass it.
The passing, I feel like I've got to study. The passing, I'm not promising.
He'll get you a certificate and everything, like a diploma. I think also on the PMTV, you should go around the office and compliment all the women in the office in a natural way that is nice, that's not uncomfortable.
Just give them a compliment. Deal.
We've got to just get the karma going in the right direction here i can't wait to hear max's non-sexual compliments that he gives yeah you no one said sexual except for you well that's true you said like put on the bonk list yeah like inappropriate you're gonna go out of your way to be like you're uh i like i like your shoes yeah hey how is the bonk list going uh that will be the first mission for the 2020 okay okay nice what's saying non-sexual it's a bonk now hey did that woman that was that was uh like you assuming that talking to a woman is gonna be sexual yeah I could, I could compliment them on their work. Yeah, I was saying.

You're Mike Pence.

Yeah.

I was saying that Max was going to go out of his way to make sure it wasn't creepy or weird.

Yeah.

Which would then make it creepy or weird.

But by you assuming that made it creepy or weird.

Okay.

Because.

But fact or fiction, you would be going out of your way to be like, what's the least weird thing I can compliment you on?

I mean, this is an office.

I can compliment them on their work.

Can you?

We haven't seen it. Yeah.
All right yeah all right get this going in the right direction good job uh all right should we do hot seat cool throne and then get to our interviews when your home system or appliance breaks down american home shield will help fix or replace the covered item no matter its age visit ahs.com slash 20% off any plan. See ahs.com slash contracts for coverage details, limitations, and exclusions.
Hank, hot seat, cool throne. My hot seat is Lane Kiffin.
Yeah. Okay.
Sydney Thomas, the viral ring girl from the Jake Paul fight. I don't know who that is.
She was the ring girl in the Jake Paul fight. She was the lady that was...
I obviously know. I obviously know.
I fucking know who it is, guys. I follow her on all our socials.
Oh, Mames. Mames, your mic is on.
Damn, that was way too much of a laugh. She seems like a very nice young woman.
And she was doing an interview, and she said that an SEC coach actually slid in her DMs. And then I think one of her, you know, everyone kind of assumed it was Lane Kiffin.
And then one of her friends just like straight up posted the Snapchat showing the DM. Oh, he just DMed her RTR.
Oh, because no, but was that after? Because then she golfed with Nick Saban.

Yeah.

So I think he DM'd her roll tide roll after she golfed with Nick Saban.

I do not believe that's a timeline.

You could be correct, but I think she golfed with Saban on Monday.

Right, and that's when Lane quote tweeted the picture and said,

Lane quote tweeted the picture of her golfing with Saban being like, looks mystery solved yeah he was trying to he was making a joke like it was the why would he why would he snapchat her rtr no no no he dm'd her rtr one of her friends she went to alabama one of her friends took a screen like a picture of her of the dm message got it so like the dm got leaked via her friend's Snapchat. That's how I interpreted it.
I was confused why he would DM RTR, but she went to Alabama. I forgot that part.
Right. Yeah.
Go to Alabama. I mean, why did everybody think it was Lane Kiffin? I don't understand.
I was thinking maybe Mark Stoops. Sam Pittman was my first thought.
Sam Pittman. A lot of disrespect to Shane Beamer.
Compare chess size. Shane Beamer not being tossed in the equation.
Shane Beamer, yeah. Yeah.
Billy Napier. Could have been Billy.
Yeah, there's a lot of... Could have been Brian Kelly.
Brian Kelly. That would...
Ugh. Ugh.
Brian... We haven't talked enough about how bad of a time Brian Kelly's having.
Not only did LSU not make a 12-team playoff, and last year was not great, but he now has Notre Dame, the team he left, where he said you can't win a national title here playing for the national title in the first 12-team playoff. Right, right.
This is a tough time of year for him. All right, so Lane Kiffin's on the hot seat.
Are we not thinking Hugh Freeze? Hugh Freeze is a sneaky dark horse. Oh, yeah.
But he shouldn't be.

Yeah.

That would have been from a burner, though, so you probably couldn't track it.

Yeah.

I think Hugh Freeze might be the horniest coach in football.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Or Link Kiffin.

If he DMed it.

I mean, if you're an Ole Miss fan, you want your head coach being like roll tide roll.

You want more interest in Ole Miss than young Misses.

Yeah.

I mean, it is offseason.

I'm putting him on the hot seat.

Okay, all right.

I think it might be a...

He also has a girlfriend, doesn't he?

I don't know.

I don't think...

I have no idea.

Friendly jab.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think he was trying to move in silence

and he got his spot blown up.

Should we...

Next person to get the lottery ball has to DM Sidneyindy thomas just say awl question mark sure oh hank oh hank you just sign up you just do it i'll win the lottery ball i mean it won't be memes uh my cool throw is leonjo ball talked about it last week i think he's my cool throne uh and then yesterday he signed signed a $13 million contract with Def Jam and Universal Music. Good for him.
Wow. $8 million guaranteed.
Retains full ownership of his music and record label. No one has been more right than LeVar Ball.
No. His sons became stars.
Like, they made millions and millions of dollars. Two of them play in the NBA.
Lonzo is on a $100 million deal. Lamello is on a $200 million deal.
And Lee Angelo just signed a $13 million rapper deal. And it's a good song.
Yeah. And he's got more.
There was another. There was a.
What's his name? Matthias? Yeah. He put out an Instagram story after a win last week where they were playing a new song.
Oh. A new snippet.
Yeah, because the leaks yeah yeah the bulls and the hornets probably have the the swaggiest locker rooms because they get all the direct direct to the but it's like that is like the number one like our team just won like we're putting on that that jello first good for him yeah i'm happy yeah okay good is China. China? China's on the hot seat.
Uh-oh. Because they're going to try to ban TikTok again.
They're having that conversation right now. But good news, at least I guess if you're a fan of China, there's a new app that people are signing up for in the theory that TikTok is about to get banned in the United States, and it's called Red Note.
And Red Note is like more Chinese than TikTok. Okay.
You're getting even more of your information than TikTok is. Okay.
But it's not banned yet. Okay.
So China just has an endless stream of spy apps that they're going to be releasing every time one gets shut down. There's another one to replace it.
So I don't actually know what Red Note does, but i've heard that it's like all the bad stuff about tiktok but way worse so tiktok is getting i've obviously seen that this has been floating around but why just because china owns it china kind of owns the company if you're a company in china that's that big the government communist party owns and they don't want all right that makes sense they don't want us using that app because you're stealing all of our information it's in everybody's phone yeah but then americans reaction to this was just to download a more chinese owned we're not the smartest no uh so part of it was like oh if if tiktok's great and it's a little bit chinese why don't i just get like a super chinese app who's gonna buy tiktok? I saw Elon was maybe rumored. So the thing is- It's like 50 billion.
They want to sell it. The US government wants them to sell it to a company that has like controlling interest in the United States.
Right. Or at least at the very least not in China.
But the Chinese government does not want to sell that app. Makes sense.
To the United States because then we get the algorithm that they had. Right.
So it's like China would rather hang on to it and lose all the business in the U.S. than sell it to the U.S.
Got it. So Elon can offer a bunch of money for it, but I don't think China's going to sell it.
Also, Elon probably would be stupid to offer money for it because if people are not on TikTok, they have to go back to Instagram and Twitter. Also, Elon doesn't need to buy TikTok.
He's already got X. Yeah.
The everything app. Yes.
It could be like a Facebook Instagram situation like Zuckerberg had Facebook and then bought it. Bought Instagram.
I don't like Zuckerberg's new look. Bothers me.
Go back to the hoodie and the bad haircut. Are you intimidated because he's a man an active man who participates in martial combat yeah instead of watching it i am it's it's lame to to to be a guy watching sports watch sports i i was shocked that a billionaire is going to change his political leanings depending on who's off yeah that's the wind blows that's wild yeah never saw that one coming my cool throne is russell wilson oh because russell wilson says that he is open to returning he hopes to return to the Pittsburgh Steelers next year.
Wow. So maybe run it back.
Wow. Our good friend Jersey Jerry, he was sad last night online because it hit him for the first time.
That might be the last time he gets to say, you just got ruthied. You just got ruthied.
You got ruthied. But I don't think it is.
I think that he wants to come back and Pittsburgh, I don't know what their plan is going is going to be for quarterback i don't know that they have a plan right now but we might get to see russell wilson again i would like to say that i'm open to winning the lottery yeah same hank's open to going on a date with sydney thomas that's these are all things that we're open to so russ good job do you think he dm'd the steelers yeah you up what's up hey yeah i mean he going to remember when Shafter was like, yeah, Russell Wilson takes a team-friendly deal? It's like, no, no, no. It's not team-friendly when that's the only deal you could get.
Yeah. He's the quarterback of the future.
I don't think the Steelers should. They got to find something else.
They got to do something else. Just anything.
In a weird way, that sucked for them that Sam Darnold sucked because I think if you're a Steelers fan, you were hoping that Sam Darnold was awesome and then you could trade for J.J. McCarthy.
Well, then Kevin O'Connell was saying, if you look at the body of work with Sam Darnold, he's been a great quarterback. It depends on how big of a scope you're using on the body of work.
Correct. What was the blip? Yeah.
Were these four games against those two teams, was that the blip? Or were the other, what, 14 games this season? Was that the blip in Sam Darnold's career? It's the Daniel Jones. Daniel Jones had that one year where everything worked out and they went to the playoffs and then they paid him for that year, not realizing that that was the anomaly year.
Yeah. Yeah.
hot seat is uh anyone who doesn't understand this whole uh 4k thing on twitter or x sorry the everything app i muted the word 4k could you imagine if you didn't understand what that is yeah i understand exactly what it is but i was talking to max beforehand and max didn't know what it was yeah so hank do you want to tell max what it is that's tough for max is max max has a video editing and production background so he if anyone's going to understand it it should be it should be max so max you probably understand it better than anyone it's essentially it's this is how i describe it because you guys are old no no no you remember uh when games were in sd and then you had that the s option and you could switch to HD. Yeah.
And it was a little crispier. Yes.
So that's what they're saying. They're basically saying hold and look at this image and it's going to be clear in 4K.
Is it work? Kind of. But I also think there's a lot of accounts that are just hopping on the bandwagon there's some I've seen that may have no difference.
I saw one that was like, you can see every pebble on this road in 4K. But there's some images that just aren't, like, they don't have the 4K potential.
Is 4K like magic eye? If you stare at 4K for long enough, like a giraffe pops out? No, it's just better resolution. like if i have a shitty picture of you it doesn't exist and i choose you know look at this in 4k it's still gonna be whatever resolution that i shot it in okay so you can just lie and say yes that's what that's what a lot of people are doing okay got it huh okay so it sounds like i gotta get in on something yeah it sounds like i gotta I got to say the picture of the NFL football that I like to post.
Just if you zoom in on this picture of the NFL football. What do you actually say when you tweet it? You say hold for 4K? I think it's like select view in 4K.
Memes, what do you say? What do you say when you do it? Memes, you've done it. Tap, hold, and load in 4K.
Hold and load in 4K. Yes.
Okay, I'm doing one live right now that people can look back at. Okay, so that was my hot seat.
Again, I knew, but it sounds like a lot of people didn't know. So happy that we cleared it up for all the people didn't know my cool throne is giante porter because he actually wasn't just telling his friends uh to bet his props and betting his own props but he was texting them during the game uh with updates of how the game was going and i don't know i know this would probably be opposite it would probably be more hot seat because it's like the most open and shut case of all time.
But I just think it's funny because they have the text messages. And here's one from a game in January 2024.
He said, I went back to locker room to get eye checked on. I don't know if I'm going to play much more.
I'm not starting second half. But if it's garbage time, I will shoot a million shots.
I love that one. If it's garbage time time I will shoot a million shots I love that one if it's garbage time I will shoot a million shots Giante Porter and like everyone who plays pick up hoops and their team goes down and they're just like fuck it let's just start chucking wait so I'm confused was he telling his friends to bet the under he's like I'm not going back in but if I do get back in I'm going to shoot a lot yeah it's kind of confusing because yeah that a point in his favor.
Yeah, true. Be like, I gave him both sides of the information there.
Maybe it was just his psychologist, and he was texting him like, hey, here's where my mind's at right now. If it's garbage time, I'll shoot a million shots.
Yeah. Love that.
Okay, let's get to our interviews. We've got Booger McFarland.
We've got Dana White. All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars.
One made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's. Only one Reese's peanut butter lover's protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter.
And only one Hershey's cookies and cream protein bars is made with Hershey's cookie bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and three grams of sugar. One bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout.
One also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake, maple glazed donut, and blueberry cobbler. Find all one bars at a retailer near you or on Amazon.com.
Okay, we now welcome on our very, very, very good friend. It is Booger McFarland.
We're going to talk some football. We're going to talk some NFL.
We're going to talk college football national championship. Boog, thank you for joining us.
I want to start with the best game out there left. And maybe we'll talk a little recap of the weekend.
But Bills-Ravens. This is why we watch sports, Boog.
We had a whole rant about it on Monday. This is why we lift them weights.
This is why we eat the donuts. This is why we do everything.
Bills-Ravens. What do you see in? I mean, you take it where it's every direction you want because I'm so excited to watch this game.
Well, a couple things. I highly doubt anyone playing in this game is going to eat donuts.
That's number one. I like how you try to get people on your side though.
Yeah. Second, yeah, man.
The first thing I go back to is when they met in week four and first play of the game. Derek Henry goes 87 yards.
So this game, my initial thought comes down to whether or not Buffalo can stop the Baltimore running game. I mean, they rushed over 200 yards that game.
And if you not to get in the weeds too much, but Buffalo's defense likes to play nickel defense. That means two linebackers and a nickelback.

And Johnson, number seven, is that nickelback.

Well, what does that mean?

That means that nickelback who's 190 pounds has got to be the one to fill in those run gaps and tackle Derrick Henry.

How many times would PFT be willing to tackle me?

Like, ultimately, that's what it comes down to.

Because Johnson has got to tackle Derrick Henry probably six or seven times during the game.

And I just don't know if he can do that. So I want to see what is Buffalo's adjustment going to be because they can't allow Johnson to tackle Derrick Henry over and over.
On the flip side, Josh Allen is playing at an all-time high level. If you're Baltimore, how do you affect Josh Allen? We saw Denver try to get after him and rush him a little bit.
They couldn't do it. So how do you affect Josh Allen? That way he can't get everyone.
He can't get Shakira involved. He can't get Kincaid involved.
He can't get Amari Cooper involved. So those are the first initial two thoughts I have on the game.
Yeah, I could tackle you. I would simply want it more.
That's the key is you just have to want it more than the other guy. You can want it as much as you want to, buddy.
Yeah. 285.
And if I'm running that shoe, you can want it all you want. You ain't stopping me, buddy.
Yeah. I would backpack you.
I would just, here's my strategy with Derrick Henry. I would kind of do the Olay and let him get right by me and then jump on his shoulders.
And then he'd have to carry me like a backpack and hopefully slow him down for somebody else, somebody bigger to come in and just take care of business. I still don't know if that's going to work,

but because I will carry you.

How much do you weigh, by the way?

Because you look like you're like really skinny fat.

So, I mean, what are you like?

195, 200?

That's a little personal booger.

No, I'm clocking in about 175.

I've been swimming a lot recently.

Ooh, 175.

175?

That's a bad looking 75, man.

Oh, I was going to go the other way. I was going to say, you know what they call a man under 200 pounds? What's that? A woman.
Listen, I've been in better shape in my life. That's a fair thing to say, but I'm confident that I could tackle you if you gave me enough time.
Okay. All right.
I mean, 100 yards, hopefully 100 yards is enough time. Also, they took away the best strategy that the Bills had, which was you could always just grab Derrick Henry by his hair.
Yeah. I mean, 100 yards.
Hopefully 100 yards is enough time. Yeah.
Also, they took away the best strategy that the Bills had, which was you could always just grab Derrick Henry by his hair and pull him out. And you can't do that anymore.
That's a good point. Yeah.
Yeah. But I'm excited about this game, too.
We were saying on Monday that, ironically, the weakness in the Ravens might be their kicking game based on how Justin Tucker's been recently. He seems to have straightened it out a little bit, and he's better than he was.
But yeah, to me, this Ravens team seems like they're as good of a team as they've had in this entire run with Lamar. Yeah, I think I would agree to that.
And how about that? A Hall of Fame kicker in Justin Tucker, to your point, could be a weak link. And we know he's got the leg.
He's done it for years. We know it's in there.
Do you think it's just mental? Like, how can a guy who's a Hall of Fame player who's done something at the highest level, like, get a mental block where he can't do it in front of people all of a sudden? Have you ever thought about that? That's the kicker thing, man. Kickers are weird.
They usually have the physical ability to do their job well into their 40s,

but at some point you lose just a tiny bit of strength,

and then that affects your mind.

And in your mind, then you try to overcompensate for anything weak

that you're doing.

I think John Hawball's got to trust him, though.

So if this game comes down to a money kick, it's end of half, end of game, 57-yarder where you knew Justin Tucker was money. You know the announcer is going to bring it up.
You know, Jim Nance and Tony Romo, you know Tony's going to bring it up, and we're going to have a conversation. There may even be a timeout call to build attention.
I would just love to know what would be going through the mind of Tucker at that point if it happens, and also would go through the mind of his teammates because you can't just erase history of this past season where he struggled. I mean, he struggled a lot throughout this season, man.
Yeah, it has. It always feels like if you have that kicker situation going into the playoffs, like we're just waiting for the other shoe to drop or waiting for that moment to happen.
I want to give you some credit, Bug, because we watched the Rams versus Vikings on Monday night. The Rams were incredible.
Sacked Sam Donald nine times. Sam Donald did hold onto the ball a little too much.
But you pulled up your own receipt, which I love this move. People should do this more often when they're right.
You said in November, you said, if I could have any defense in the NFL for the next three years, not sure I wouldn't take the Rams. That front seven is young and nasty.
Imagine going from AD to what they have now. Great job, Les Snead.
They are young and nasty. They are incredible.
They showed it on Monday night. Now we have that defensive line going against the best offensive line or maybe them or the Lions with the Eagles.
how's that going to play out? And again, credit to you for a great take. Well, I appreciate it.
It's going to be a heavyweight fight, man. And if you think about this, we often, you know, everybody loves to use these cliches.
The Green Bay Packers are the youngest team in the league. Okay, I get it.
They've been the youngest team the last two years. How about this one? The Rams defense defense and i think troy used this last night it's the cheapest defense in football because they got all those all those first and second year players it's the cheapest defense in football one of the most talented defenses in football and if they have any shot of upsetting philadelphia eagles those young players have to go out and play as if they don't know any better because on paper and in vegas everybody would tell you that it's going to be a mismatch.
That offensive line, Saquon Barkley, just think about what happened a month or so ago when these two teams played each other. But it's something about when you face a team a second time.
I remember when we played the Philadelphia Eagles and we couldn't get over that hump and we kept going against them. The ability to know what you were going to deal with, and when went into the game you didn't have to feel anybody out you knew what it was going to be i think the rams are going to get the benefit of that because they know what it's like to see makai beckham like the dude's six seven three fifty like you could put you two together and that's makai beckham lane johnson um uh landon dickerson cam jurgens malata Like those dudes are gigantic.
I think the smallest one outside of the center is like 6'6 and 325. Right.
And so you have to know what that feels like to go against it. That way, when you go into the game, you understand how to attack it.
I think the Rams are going to do that. The key to this game will be, and it sounds crazy, I don't know what the weather's going to be like but i got i guarantee it's going to be cold how does a team from southern california who's got young guys deal with the cold weather yeah somebody who's been in this league and and been a young guy it's difficult to deal with if you if you haven't had to do it a lot the first time i played in cold weather i'll never forget it we were in chicago and here i am i mean I'm I'm I'm about to put on every layer that the equipment manager is giving me and Hardy Nicholson looks at me say hey no no no no we don't do that on defense I'm like what do you mean it's like 10 degrees outside he said no we don't do that he's like on defense we tough it out we got to tough it out so of course I wanted to fit in I didn't put anything on and when that wind came through that tunnel in Chicago it felt like it went right through the crack of my behind and out of my nose.
It's the coldest I've ever been in my life. I promise you, I've never been colder in my life.
And all I thought about was when this game was going to be over and how could I get back to the locker room? And so the next few times that I played in the cold weather, I prepared for it. I used to use this stuff called Tiger Bomb and Vaseline.

Drink a shot of whiskey before the game. A little chicken

broth. And so my body

and my skin was ready to play.

That's a real thing. I hope this Rams

team is ready to deal with the

elements because that will give them a heads

up in playing in this game.

What's the worst

play? Is it tackling someone else?

Is it getting blocked? What's the worst feeling in the cold? Being under the pile? All of it. All of it.
All of it. All of it.
Pre-game warm-up is kind of the worst because you've got to get your body loose and warm. And once you get loose and warm, and no lie, small shot of whiskey.
I mean, we don't need anything hard like vodka. I mean, we don't need anything.
Just like a small shot of, you know, a little Tennessee something, something light just to kind of get the throat nice and warm. Put the Tiger Balm on, get ready to go, get lubed up a little bit.
And here's the last thing. You got to put the full body onesie on the ski suit.
Cut the toes out. All right.
Make sure that the shoes are nice and dry. And once you get warm, the key is to stay warm.
Like the worst thing you ever want to do is get warm and then cool off because then you freeze. Right.
All that perspiration freezes up and you'll be cold as hell. Yeah.
Yeah. I love the idea of you stepping into Chicago and just getting spit roasted by the wind, just like from your ass to your nose.
I can't stand this this did you ever see like an offensive lineman and they're not wearing sleeves in the cold and did that make you intimidated uh first of all i think it's a code that the offensive lineman can't wear sleeves they all didn't have any sleeves on um i didn't feel intimidated i just thought they was crazy listen at a certain point i don't care how tough you are mentally tough if it's zero degrees everybody's cold like you're not gonna tell me at zero man i'm not cold that's a lot everybody's cold now are you gonna play with it sure you can play with it but everybody's cold at zero degrees coldest game i ever played in was green break uh when it was zero degrees windshield was minus 15 and the sun was out coincidentally it was one of the best games I ever had because I knew how to dress, the tiger balm on my skin, I felt good, and the sun was out. So the sun being out at least made me feel better.
Yeah, it does. I'm going to get the weather.
It's going to be a high of 38 on Sunday in Philly. What time's the game? It's like 3 o'clock.
It's a 3 o'clock game.

It's probably going to be like mid-30s, possibly raining.

So I guess it could be worse.

Yeah.

It could be.

Are you worried, Boog, about Jalen Hurts at all?

I mean, he looks rusty.

He did not have the best game.

That offense, I don't know what it is.

The Eagles offense, it's not sluggish because they obviously have, like, incredible skill position on the outside and Saquon had 2,000 yards. It's almost just like – like, they move at a pace that's like – I don't get it.
I just watch it and I'm like, you guys should be going faster and you should have more plays that are explosive downfield with all the guys you have so everybody says the same thing but they beat around the bush so let's just lay this out yeah let's look at let's look at the eagles offense aj brown devontae smith dallas goddard they got weapons carcaterra offensive line i think we would say is one of the best offensive lines in football right yep saquon Barkley's been the best back in football this year right yep so what's the last piece fullback yeah fullback nobody plays with a fullback anymore last piece is the quarterback but for whatever reason like he hasn't been bad but he hasn't been great right so it kind of leaves you asking that question what's's wrong with the Eagles offense? The answer is right in front of us, guys. The indifferences of the quarterback and how that reverberates throughout the offense is the issue.
Because regardless of what's being said, when the quarterback is off, everybody's affected. The receivers are affected.
The offensive line is affected. And to me, Saquon Barkley has been the common force on this team because he was an outside guy that came in.
And Saquon Barkley is a team guy. He's a guy that tries to galvanize everybody and get everybody together.
And so I honestly think he's the guy that's holding this thing together because as we saw throughout the season, receivers look at the quarterback sideways, quarterbacks look at the receiver sideways, and everybody come out, came out and said the right thing. But to your point, Big Cat, you just asked a question that everybody continues to ask.
What's going on with the offense? Jalen Hurts is not bad, but he also is not great. It's such a confounding issue because I like him a lot of times and he's objectively not a bad quarterback, but I think it's what you're saying.
Like everything else is there and you look at some of the guys that are still playing and the way they elevate their game in the playoffs and Jalen Hurts has done that. He played phenomenal in the Super Bowl.
So it's like get back to that Jalen Hurts and get to that level. No question.
We we've seen him do it he was the best player on the field in that super bowl against patrick mahomes no doubt about it i will try to describe it this way and make a comparison that i think everybody in america can understand it's like having a a hamburger with no cheese on it and no condiments. It's a burger.

Everybody loves burgers,

but is the burger really that good without the condiments?

It's okay,

but everybody has their specific condiments in which they want to put on it.

I'm a cheese, bacon, mayo every now and then a hard fried egg guy.

I don't know what you guys are.

But unless you're five years old,

nobody really eats a plain burger.

We all need something on it. I'm just thinking about the cheese the whole time yeah exactly i eat plain burgers just because my son he's five so then i just clean up his i you know i eat the the burger that he doesn't eat so but yeah it's terrible every single time i'm like this sucks but but but if i said hey let's go get some burgers you'd be like let's go like i'm all in yeah but if i don't get everything that comes with the burger and like not really that good of a yeah i like that yeah i think that's jalen hurts like jalen hurts is like the burger but we just continue to wait when we're going to get the toppings when are we going to get everything that goes with it we we've had it before we had it in the super bowl where he was outstanding and it was like the greatest in and out burger double double animal style with cheese the whole nine and we just want to get that again and we haven't quite gotten it we you know we've been dealing with fat burger we've been dealing with chili's old timer with cheese like we've been dealing with a lot of things but we haven't got the in and out double double animal style since the super bowl yeah he should never have given us a taste of it because now that's all i think about yeah max i'm curious to know what you think our producer's a big eagles fan he's also a big fan of burgers so i'm curious to hear what his thoughts are on this analogy uh i would i would say he's a little bit better than a plain burger but you know that's me i could i could be biased okay a little bit better Yeah.
A little bit. So he's like a burger with pickles only.

No, I'll give him a slice of cheese.

No sauce.

Okay.

All right.

That's fair.

Yeah, okay.

I got it.

A turkey burger?

Maybe he's a turkey burger with cheese.

No, turkey burgers are good.

You can dress up a turkey burger pretty good.

You can.

Yeah, turkey burgers are the worst. Exactly, pretty good.

What are you like? Seriously? They're the worst Boog, what does What do the Rams offense have to do to win this game? Because Matt Stafford He didn't look good for the last month Month and a half of the regular season But he looked pretty good on Monday Night Football He was slinging it like old man So what do they have to do? Well, I wonder what health of tyler higby is going to be like because he went out in that game with a an abdominal strain or something happened a shoulder i can't remember what it was but he didn't come back and while he was in the game he had got five or six catches so that's going to be key second of all they need to be able to run the football and like you know jaylen carter and chris jones are probably the two best defensive tackles in football. No disrespect to Jeffrey Simmons down in Tennessee.
But Jalen Carter is playing at an unbelievable level for Philadelphia. And Nolan Smith, who a lot of people thought was a bust, he's coming on.
So you got to be able to neutralize those two guys. You got to run the football at them with Williams, man.
And I think the Rams offensive line is going to be key. Then it comes down, like when you get in big games, man, like your stars got to be stars.
It's got to be Stafford to Cooper Cup, Stafford to Puka Nakua, Stafford to Robinson. Like Matthew Stafford has to remind us of the Matthew Stafford that was with Calvin Johnson.
Like he's got to come out and sling that thing. It can't be anything else.
Like he's got to throw for 300 yards. Puka Nakua has got to have a vintage day.
Cooper Cup has got to remind us when everybody was like, man, who's that white boy? That's Cooper Cup. Like he's got to have one of those days.
And so I think if they do that and they can run the football and this defense plays at that super high level, the Rams can take this game into the fourth quarter. And when you're the underdog, that's really all you want.
You want, when you come out of that last break and it's six minutes left, for it to be a one-score game either way. And that's all you can ask for on the road, in the elements.
I think the Rams can do that, but we'll see. Yeah.
I'm excited. We might get a White Cooper versus White Cooper matchup.
Cooper Cup versus Cooper DeGene? Yeah. Who are you taking? I'm taking White Cooper.
Yeah. I'm taking – This is a win for white people.
I'll be honest. We've been taking a lot of Ls recently.
That's a big dub for the white race. By the way, I'm going to check your NFL facts right now.
Cooper DeGene, White DB. Yep.
Before Cooper DeGene, who was the last prominent white cornerback? Jason Sehorne. Jason Sehorne.
There you go. I'm just checking the seats.
I'm just checking. Come on.
It's not a long list. Yeah, it's not a long list.
All right, so, Book, I have a question about the Chiefs. You were obviously in this spot as a player.
You were on teams that had the bye week. How much better do you feel after a bye week? Is it significant? Can you notice the difference in practice? We do the rest versus rust thing.
Is that just all bullshit? I would rather have the rest, especially if your bye week was early to the middle part of the season. The physical part, you're not going to make...
You're not going to go from like three to 10 physically. You might go from three to like seven.
But more importantly, mentally, I think a week break mentally where you don't have to get your mental levels, your competitive juices flowing. You can take a mental break where you actually, instead of dreading to play or trying to figure out how to play, you're chomping at the bit to play.
And that's a big difference. That's why you see the teams that have a bye week often come out in that first five minutes, that first quarter, they are flying around because it's mental.
You're ready to compete. You're ready to get out there.
You haven't competed in a while because we're creatures of habit. And when you've done something from July until January, and then you take a week off, like your body is still in that competitive mode, even though you've had a week off.
So you're ready to get out. It's kind of like you, but watch this.
You guys do a podcast every week or whatever. If you take a week off, you're like, man, I can't wait to get back on.
I got so much to say. I'm ready.
It's just, it's the same thing with football. And I, and I think mentally the chiefs are going to get a break.
I think the chiefs are going to be really healthy um it'll be the healthiest they've been i think if you're the texans man like you really got to be careful the first first quarter of that game and like you can't come out of the first quarter down 14 nothing because they're going to try to come out and make a statement and let everyone know that it's the chiefs invitational still. But yeah, I would rather be mentally and physically rested and have a tad bit of rust than to continue playing and have your body banged up and beat up.
Yeah. In a way, though, I also feel like getting to play and play well last weekend is a very, very good thing for the Houston Texans because they haven't looked that good this season.
They haven't been blowing people out, but their defense looks so good last week and they were heating the quarterback up, put him under pressure all day. Are they going to be able to do that to Patrick Mahomes? Are they going to be able to get to his face and make some awkward throws? So I don't really have to even watch this game.
If I can look at the stat sheet and without like took a blind look at the stat sheet and i saw will anderson jr three sacks four pressures i saw daniel hunter two sacks seven pressures i'm like this is a game in the fourth quarter because if those two defensive ends can put up a stat line like that where they sack mahomes four or five times it's nine or ten pressures yeah that game is going to be a tight game because that means they're going to affect the quarterback and they're going to affect the Chiefs offense.

Like the biggest weakness, I think everyone knows, it's the Chiefs tackles.

Like they've had to move Joe Tooney out there.

They've tried to draft a guy.

It doesn't matter.

Those tackles have been bad.

I know it.

You know it.

You know who else knows it?

Andy Reid.

So he's going to try to game plan around that.

And so the Houston Texans defense and D'Amico Ry Ryan have got to figure out a way to affect the quarterback. You know, if you affect Patrick Mahomes, then you affect the entire team.
Because he's the thing that makes that go. Offensively, the Texas offensive line, man, like, I'm not sure what happened to Laramie Tunsil.
I'm not sure what's going on with Titus Howard. Like, these guys haven't been playing well.
They got a lot of money invested in that offensive line, and they haven't played well. And for the first time in over a year, I thought C.J.
Shroud looked like the C.J. Shroud we saw when Ohio State took on George.
He was running around making plays. He was making throws.
Like, I haven't seen that guy. Because we all watched that sugar ball, and you were like, I didn't know he could have second reaction plays.
I didn't know he could do that. I think he won America over that night.
And then all of a sudden, his rookie year was great. And then this year, it's kind of been, like, I haven't seen that guy since his rookie year.
If he can play like that, man, for sure, this can be a game. I don't know if I expect it to be close, but I think the Texans can hang in there for a little while.
It's a good point about CJ Shroud scrambling because it did feel like he did that more and was effective with his legs on Saturday against the Chargers. You brought up something, Andy Reid game planning, and this might be a dumb question, but do you have a story or remember a specific game where your game plan was so elite that you knew almost instantly you're like this is that like we're this is going to be the easiest day ever like we we know they're I mean I guess the Super Bowl the first one you won but is there another time where you're like our coaches just the way they got us ready for this game there's no way we're losing Yeah, I remember in Indianapolis where we're playing Cincinnati Bengals.
It's a Monday night. And it wasn't the game plan.
It was after the first series. So if you remember when Carson Palmer was there and Ochocinco and like all those guys during the Cincinnati heyday, they went no huddle.
They went up tempo. And when you go up tempo, I'll tell people all the time, when you go up tempo, like the offense can't be super complicated because those guys aren't rocket science.
We aren't rocket science. Like it's got to be a code that everybody's going about.
And so after the first series, we figured out when Carson Palmer will come to the line of scrimmage and say, 922 Las Vegas, 922 Las Vegas. Well, Las Vegas is a city it was a it was a run to the left if he came up and said whatever 644 644 let's go Jacksonville Jacksonville check that check that New York East New York East it was a run to the right and so we were able to decipher their game plan running the football within the first series of the game and so they't really have a ton of yards rushing that game.
It's one of those things where the game plan can be cool, but everybody makes little subtle adjustments. It was a cool game plan where Palmer is doing his thing, and we were able to decipher their code that night.
That's got to be the best feeling in the world, to just be like, hey guys, we know this and now every single time he says it, we're just going to stop it. What you have to do is you have to kind of be like a kid in the candy.
You can't let everyone know that you know when Santa's coming. You kind of got to, like, oh man, man, this is tough.
You really know what's coming. I love that.
You played five seasons for John Gruden in Tampa, right? Yes. Our colleague, John Gruden.
You have any good John Gruden stories from the locker room? I got so many, man. First of all, I started with this.
John and I started out on a good relationship. Then we hit a rocky patch, and I think we're good now.
But there was a period of time where i was i was probably his least favorite player of all time really uh oh just well you gotta you gotta understand gruden is an offensive guy and there's nothing more he loved than another offensive player like if you name him he loved him defensive guys were just a tool to get him the ball back especially down in tampa um you know one of the best gruden stories ever let's see um we've all seen the clip of Chris Sims like Chris Sims and John Gruden and Chris Sims is trying to call the play and Gruden is looking at him like I just told you to play like can you really say like can you not say the play and he's I mean he is dog cussing him and him. And we're standing there on defense like this poor kid, man.
And just to see him, just to see how he did and dealt with young players was the most amazing thing, dude. And he would do it every single year.
He didn't like young players because he wanted veteran guys that knew how to practice, that knew how to work, that knew that he didn't have to babysit. And so anytime a young guy came in, John Gruden was always, he was always a treat to watch.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So there's another game out there this weekend, the commanders, my beloved commanders have to go up to Detroit and play against the Detroit Lions.
I haven't released my keys to the game. I'm breaking down film all week.
I don't want to release keys to the game too early because I know that Jared listens to the podcast and I don't want to give him any inside information. So I'm saving that for Friday.
But what would your keys to the game be for how the Commanders could possibly have a chance to be what looks like on paper to be a pretty significant mismatch? Well, J. Daniels has to be special, and their defense is going to have to create some turnovers.
We've seen Jared Goff turn the football over a little bit before, so they've got to get turnovers. And I think before we even get to the X's and O's on the field, they've got to withstand that building.
I played in that four field. That place is going to be at a fever pitch.
They're the number one seed. If they win two games, they get to the Super Bowl.
Both of those games are going to be at home. They've earned the right for the road to the Super Bowl to come through Detroit.
And so you got to withstand the road team. There's a reason only one road team won this weekend.
That was your commanders. Now, can they do it again? It's going to be a different building.a was loud tampa was boisterous fourth field is going to be totally different so they got to withstand that and then jayden daniels is going to have to make we all know he can make those plays with his legs he's got to rush for over 100 yards and then he's going to have to hit some chunk plays down the field of terry mcclorn the good thing about everything i just said it's all doable.
Okay. It's all very doable because this Detroit defense is banged up.
It's beat up. Like I think they're, they're going to be without of their starting day 11.
They're going to be without six of those guys, five or six. One of their corners, Terry on Arnold.
He's a rookie. He's learning.
He's going to be good, but he's very handsy right now. If you're Terry McLaurin, I think you got it.
anytime there's a matchup's learning he's going to be good but he's very handsy right now if you're Terry McLaurin I think you got it anytime there's a matchup of Terry on Arnold versus Terry McLaurin and you're Jay Daniels let it go now now I think you're going to have to watch for the safety Kirby Joseph in the middle of the field he's an all-pro player he's got eight or nine interceptions you got to watch for him but I think if you're Washington and you watch film this not the detroit lions team that we thought they were going to be defensively at the beginning of the season they are vulnerable but in order to make them vulnerable you're going to have to withstand the building you're going to have to get some turnover from jerry golf and you're going to have to get your quarterback to play to where we think he's going to be in two or three years like in two or three years years, I think James Daniels is in a conversation with Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrell. He's not there yet, but he's got to give you a glimpse of him being there in order for them to win this game.
Do you believe at all? I mean, Alex Anzalone coming back for the Lions week 18, they have an incredible game plan for the Vikings. He's got the green dot on.
Is that overstated his return, or is it something that really getting everyone in the right place can mean that much and being in the right place so that Lions defense can maybe cover up all the injuries they have? Getting everybody back in their role, dude, is a major key. Imagine if your wife goes out of town and she leaves the kids with you big guy and then all of a sudden happening this weekend to me it's happening like listen the wife goes out of town you got the kids and maybe you got a nanny that comes over and helps out but it's just not the same when the wife is there like if things don't feel the same it's not the same you don't feel the same things may be getting done but it's not the same it's very similar dude it's the same thing so when Anzalone comes back things feel normal he's the green dot he calls the defense you feel reassured that if you take a nap and fall asleep that the kids aren't gonna just jump out the windows right it's like when Anzalone there he's gonna get everybody in their proper position so it definitely a difference.
Yeah, my kids, my wife is out of town on Saturday, Friday and Saturday this weekend. And my kids get ready to eat cereal for breakfast, lunch, and then mac and cheese for dinner.
We're doing that. That's the whole menu.
That's the entire menu for the whole weekend. Yeah, that's the whole menu.
It's cereal and mac and cheese. You choose.
You can want cereal for dinner, mac and cheese for breakfast. I don't care, but those are the only two things on the menu.
We don't like DoorDash, UberEats, or bring something a little healthier? You know what? I'm trying to watch my weight. I'm trying to be better.
I'm about to turn 40, Boog. The problem that I have is that when I order dinner for my family, in my head, I treat my five, three and one year old as full grown adults.

So I'm like, all right, my three year old, she'll have a, you know, a Kung Pao chicken.

My one year old, he'll have, you know, the general so's and a side of fried rice and

they don't eat any.

I mean, they're kids.

They eat like three bites of something and that's it.

So then I end up with so much food and I just get fatter. So that's why that's tough for me when I try to order for the whole family.
I got you. Two things out of that.
Number one, when the 40th birthday party is planned, I need an invitation. Whatever we're doing for – PFT and I are both turning 40 at the end of January.
We'll do something in New Orleans for the Super Bowl week. Yeah.
Just let me know when. I will definitely be there.
That's number one. Number two, I mean, if you're going to order for the kids, like, stop ordering like they're grown.
Like, just. I can't help myself.
I call Chick-fil-A and tell them to send like a party tray. You can just get 50 nuggets.
Let them all share it. Yeah.
No, when we go to Chick-fil-A, I'm like, all right, you guys, like, I look back and I'm like, to my one-year-old, like, all right, you're good for 20 nuggets? They're good for three, and then I eat the other 17. That's my problem.
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that sometimes, buddy. Nothing wrong with that.
Yeah, they look at you like you're overproviding for them, too. That's a good dad move.
Yeah, yeah. They're never going to worry about their next meal.
That's good. That's a positive.
Yeah, and I'm just going to eat all of it. Book, I did want to talk about college football real quick.
Monday night, we have the have the national championship ohio state notre dame ohio state's the better team we're going to be honest ohio state's the better team talent wise give us the case for notre dame because i i like i love what marcus freeman has done i think they are a such a tough team and i think that there's something in there with notre dame that they can hang around in this game and game and maybe have one of those college football plays late where they're able to win this game. I think there's something there.
This team has been super resilient all year. I think if they're starting 22, they're going to be down like eight or nine guys when this game starts.
Marcus Friedman has built an unbelievable program, the resiliency, the mental toughness.

With that being said, when you step on the football field, you've got to make plays.

Jeremiah Love, he's got to have a day.

Jadarian Price, they're going to have to run the football.

Anytime you're the underdog, you want to shorten the game a little bit.

Riley and Leonard, we say this every time.

He's going to have to make a play down the field throwing the football.

He's got to hit a big play.

And then their defense, which I think is Marcus Freeman's specialty, is going to have to be out of this mind. Because Chip Kelly, the offensive coordinator, and Ryan Day, I think, number one, they're going to try to get Jeremiah Smith going because he had one catch for three yards last time.
And I don't know if you want to go into an offseason where he isn't a huge part of the game. I think Jeremiah Smith is going to be targeted early and often um I think when you look at Travion Henderson you look at Quinshawn Judkins it's so many of those guys that I think are going to be unbelievable for for Notre Dame to deal with so um yeah to me if Notre Dame plays at their best if they play at their their best, this is still a two-score game.
Oh. And I think, yeah, even if they play at their best, because there's such a disparity, I think, when it comes to talent, where we are now.
Now, if this was the original Notre Dame starting 22, I think this would be a one-score game and maybe come down to the fourth quarter where you're like, okay, Notre Dame, I I can see a path for them winning it's tough for me to see that now with the current Notre Dame team based on the injuries and based on everything they got and and I think the wild card is this if you're if you're a Notre Dame fan I think you got to go and say a prayer for number one to touch down Jesus yep and then secondly you got to hope, you got to hope that Will Howard reverts back to Will Howard at Kansas State

against the University of Kansas where sometimes he just didn't realize he was a good quarterback.

And maybe he has a bad day.

Other than that, I think this is going to be a comfortable Ohio State win.

May not start out that way, but I think eventually it'll be a comfortable win for them. Notre Dame has the ultimate 12th man, the Lord.
Just call on him. But, I mean, why even play the game? Surely Ohio State would never lose a game to a team they should beat by two scores.
Yeah, of course. I mean, we just saw that a month ago, right? Yeah.
I mean, I... But notice how Michigan won the game.
Turnovers. Will Howard threw...
I know he threw one pick, maybe two. Yeah.
They ran the football. They controlled the line of scrimmage.
They shortened the game. Jeremiah Smith did everything that I just talked about.
Run the ball, shorten the game. Jeremiah Smith didn't get off.
Will Howard playing like not Will Howard.

That's what they got to get.

You got to ask yourself, can we

repeat what Michigan did?

Yeah.

Booger, you're a big SEC guy. Would you like to

apologize for the SEC in

these playoffs? Because all I heard going

into the playoffs, there should be three more SEC

teams. You could make the case that half the SEC

should get in. They're the best conference in the country.
Now we don't have any SEC. You barely had any in the semifinals.
You can call Texas an SEC team. They are.
I feel like you should apologize on behalf of the conference. Yeah, I mean, listen, I'm not going to apologize for a conference that has dominated college football.
What I will say is this, is that i think the years and the ages where the sec and to a certain extent the acc with clemson dominate college football is over with and you look no further than the transfer portal in nil because no longer can these teams in the south stack their rosters because i'm not going to wait two years to play when I can go to Penn State or

Oregon or Michigan and I can play right now I can play right now and I and they'll play me 250 grand so like that's just never ever gonna and think about this think about this look no further than the number one recruit in America this year Bryce Underwood Bryce Underwood was committed to LSU for 10 months. At the very end,

here comes

Ellison, here comes Portnoy, here comes Brady, and all this money comes in, and now he goes to Michigan. Five years ago, that doesn't happen.
But now it happens. So I think we've just reached a point where there's going to be a lot more parity in college football.
Yeah. Yeah, you're probably right.
You're probably right. All right.
So, Bug, I have one last question. Roback question.
R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com. Promo code TAKE.
20% off your first purchase. Q-Zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts.
Roback.com. Promo code TAKE.
My last question for you. By the way.
By the way. What do you got? Look what I have on right now, baby.
Roback joggers. Oh, let's go.
oh let's go all right yeah you know what my last question is what are you doing in the gym these days you said you just had come from the gym so what's the routine i we have a new gym in our office so i have to i'm trying to get back in a new routine i've been busy but like once football ends i want to get into a new, you know, once you've reached the age of 40,

I think what you need to do in the gym is lift a lot less weight. So everybody knows I'm a big Peloton guy.
I'm almost at like 1500 rides for my career. But I wanted to get back into the gym and just kind of start to tone up a little bit.
And so what I do in the gym is a lot of body weight stuff. So squatting, single leg functional movements.
So single leg body weight squats, put your body in a position and you can do it just using your body weight, single leg RDLs. Like the heaviest dumbbell I pick up is 40 pounds.
And it's a lot of supersets. It's high intensity.
It's eight reps here, eight reps there, three, four rounds. I'm not benching.
I'm not squatting. I'm not throwing 315 pounds up.
You don't need to do that. At the age of 40, it's a lot more about mobility.
It's a lot more about prehab, post-hab, all those things where your body can functionally move like make sure your hips are stretched out all right not only will you enjoy but the wife will too like make sure everything is is nice and loose okay i feel like that's a new genics commercial yeah yeah but that's what i'm doing in the in the gym now man a lot of functional movement, a lot of stretching, a lot of superset stuff, a lot of high intensity so I can tone up, man. Okay.
You look good. You look great.
Yeah. Also, Booger, you kind of teased me a second ago when you were talking about Jaden.
I've been spending the last two days just watching Jaden highlights, just soaking it all in because I don't know when the next time I'm going to get a playoff victory is.

Who are – can you list your top seven quarterbacks in the NFL?

Top seven quarterbacks. So Mahomes, Lamar, Josh, Joe Burrow.

That's four.

I would probably go Matthew Stafford, five. Goff? Jared Goff, six.
And then it's probably... Dak, seven.
Shut up, Shut up. Cut him off.
Get him off the air. We're right there.
You're right there. And then probably – Cooper Rush 8.
To me, Jaden Daniels is already top 10. He's already a top 10 quarterback.
Okay. I mostly just wanted to see your fingers as you counted them.
That's the real reason I asked that question. I'm not sure about it.
See, that's right there. Like, this one here, man.
This one really, it just kind of, I don't know, it does a thing. Like, these two right here.
Yeah. Yeah.
They're buddies. It looks like you're making a gang sign.
Yeah. Okay.
All right. All right.
Well, Bug, thank you as always. We love having you on.
And we're going to watch one of the best weekends. This is a divisional round is when it really is like, hey, this is the final eight teams.
Let's go find who's going to the conference championship. It's the best.
I can't wait, man. Appreciate you guys always having me on.
Love you guys, man. Looking forward to seeing you guys in New Orleans, man.
Let me know when the celebration is. Yes, done.
All right. See you, Bug.
Hey, it's Ria from Chicks in the Office.

It's officially mini skort season,

and Abercrombie has the ones to go out in.

Their Scarlet Mini is a classic.

It's one of those skirts that fits the outfit vibe for any plans.

And I'm excited to style their new Sienna skort.

It's a little more flirty, and it's perfect for a date night.

Make plans to go out in Abercrombie, shop their newest arrivals in-store and online. Now for something completely different.
Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest, our friend. It is Dana White, a head of UFC 311 this Saturday in Englewood, California.
Actually, let's start there, Dana. Are we still on for Englewood, obviously, with the fires and everything? It's been crazy, really sad, but are we full going Steve Ballmer's house, the Intuit Dome? Yes, we are.
We're going. I'm flying in there Thursday night.
We have the press conference Fridays, the weigh-ins, and then the events on Saturday. Okay, so in UFC 311, we have two title bouts.
What are you most looking forward to in this card? Because it's – by the way, I want to say thank you. There's nothing better than like a full day of NFL playoff football and then you go right into a UFC card.
It's like that's why we watch sports. I could not agree more.
How about the Rams, man? How about the Rams? How cool is that? Yeah. Crazy game.
They look legit. Yeah, they do.
They look really good. So good.
And Puka Nakua, you know, so me and Lorenzo Fertitta funded this team, you know, like a peewee team, and Puka Nakua came off that team and grew up with my boys playing football. Wow.
What was he like as a kid playing?

Dalton Kincaid lived with us through COVID.

He played football with my son.

We have that team, the little Cowboys team.

Tons of guys went on to play in college in the NFL.

So what was Puka like as a kid playing football? Because I love watching him play. He's crazy out there.
He was a beast. He could play quarterback, running back, wide receiver.
He played defense. He played special teams.
They put him everywhere. And his name's really fun to say, too.
Yeah. Puka Nakua.
It really is fun. And when you're in the stadium, Puka Nakua! Like every 30 seconds, they're screaming his name.
He he's the greatest kid in the world it couldn't happen to a better guy it's awesome to watch he's an absolute beast so UFC 311 tell us which fight are you most interested in or you're like this is the one that people maybe aren't maybe it's not the title fight but we're like this is going to be an incredible fight first of all the main event you know Islam and Armin it's not the title fight, but this is going to be an incredible fight. I mean, first of all, the main event, you know, Islam and Armin, they are both.
The style of fighting is almost identical. So it's the toughest fight Islam could possibly get.
So that's a great fight. Obviously, Murab and Umar, the co-main event.
Umar is supposed to be the future. I mean, he's undefeated, 18-0.
And, you know, Marab has walked through everybody, former champions. And let me think.
Yuri Prohaska and Jamal Hill is a great fight. The whole card's badass.
Kevin Holland's always fun. Are we worried at all about Umar's corner man, Habib, being kicked off a Frontier Airline flight? What the fuck is he doing on Frontier? That was my question.
This kid's got more money than anybody, but that's how humble he is. He's flying on that piece of shit airline.
You know, what do you expect? My question is going to be, number one, what are you doing having Habib having habib flying frontier and then number two how bad do you have to fuck up to get kicked off frontier yeah exactly yeah i don't know what you have to do to get kicked off frontier airlines but um yeah he listen habib doesn't fight anymore because he's got shit loads of money yeah i got to teach Habib how to charter a plane. Yeah.
Especially if you're just going from Vegas to San Francisco. Yeah.
I do like that he was saying the exit row, though. That's a man that's saying, like, in case anything goes wrong, I would want, if I was on that flight, I'd be pissed off they kicked Habib off as, like, an exit row captain.
Yeah. You are 100% right.
That's how dumb they dumb they are in frontier airlines if there's anybody you want in that position it's a big number yeah good job frontier airlines and we want it on the record he's flying frontier by choice not because dana didn't pay him because i'm sure there's people who are like oh dana didn't pay him he's flying frontier not only did dana pay him after he won the Conor McGregor fight, he went on like the Muslim world tour and Saudi Arabia rained on him. Abu Dhabi rained on him.
Qatar rained on him. Yeah, that kid's got more money than Putin rained on him.
I mean, yeah, Habib shouldn't even know what the fuck Frontier Airlines is, just like most people don't.

The more you say the people that rained on him,

now I'm beginning to understand why maybe somebody wouldn't want him flying.

But, yeah.

But, no, you got rained on.

You make some good points.

He's probably got a lot of money right now.

Yeah.

He's got plenty of money.

So give us something to look forward to in the undercards.

Because I love the undercards, too.

We're going to be done with football.

And, yeah, it's the nightcap.

It's like you're going to just roll into a perfect Saturday night,

just filled with sports. So what's one of the undercards that you have your mind your eye on uh you can look at talbot barcelos almeida and speedback those are both great fights okay i'm excited uh dana i got a tough question for you right it's a badass card yeah sold out you know the thing just opened biggest gate gate in the history of the arena, which isn't a big history, but WWE just did like 4 million.
We should do close to 10 for this fight. Yeah.
That place looks awesome. Do you have any musical guests that you're lining up for 311? Oh.
To play? Yeah. No.
Not 311? Not 311? That's funny. funny it would be good they should play i got guys there i think travis parker's coming and we'll have musical musical guests there but they won't be playing yeah i got i got a tough question for you dana this is a very tough question um talk to me about oiling up the Oiling up? Yeah.
The weirdest shit ever. You're kidding.
I'm on.

Oh, your boy boy Taylor Luan is blowing me up right now he probably wants to play blackjack so yeah you basically every time you go live people just say Dana oil me up like non-stop in the comments you want to just address it it be like hey i'm not oiling anyone up i'm not oiling myself up stop saying it yeah uh i went on i was live one time and some guy says uh hey dana i want to oil you up and i was like what the fuck does that even mean what what kind of shit is that and now it's a thing every time i go it's a thing. I don't understand it.
I don't know what it means. I don't get it.
I don't want to get it. You got to get oiled up.
Yeah, have you thought about oiling yourself up? Like, that would do crazy numbers if you're like, hey, I got big news. I'm breaking on Instagram Live about Conor McGregor, and then it just goes to you just oiling yourself up.
Yeah, I don't know, man. I have no idea.
Do you guys know what it means what's it mean i think i think it just happened one time and now everybody's going to keep saying hey dana go get oiled up until you actually get oiled up yeah it's the internet the internet just goes crazy and then after you do it everybody'll be like wow that was stupid yeah and then but then you can at least turn the page on it yeah you can flip it on it probably be hard to turn the page oiled up wait so what is tay he wants to play blackjack right now that's what he's doing we we just played this weekend he came in town we played this weekend and um he got murdered okay and then i had to come save him okay yeah i don't know i mean call daddy we do think of the tunnel of chaos pretty much every day i think of the tunnel of chaos um i do want to come back to vegas and go back to the tunnel of chaos it's like once you get a taste of it you just can never you can never get out of your mouth so how many nights a week would you say that you're at the tunnel of chaos uh many many nights a week uh almost if i'm in town i'm probably there you're pretty good at it you i was there last night you did a good job me and Big Cats. We appreciate that.
How crazy was that? It was awesome. It was so much fun.
It was, I thought Will and Taylor were, especially Taylor was just like making things up. And then when we got there, it was a great dudes night.
It was just like guys playing blackjack together, having a great time. It was awesome.
Everybody in your company that was there won that night yeah we were basically like how much do you want yeah i'll take 10 grand put up the money 10 grand and he needs 30 grand 100 grand yeah yeah i think titus was down like 100 grand and battled his way back until he got 10 grand compton was down like 300k he was he was shitting himself. And you're just like, it's all right.
We got it. That was a war.
That one was a war. Yeah, yeah.
That one was a war. He was the only one that it wasn't easy.
We didn't just clip off right away. We had to actually battle.
Yeah. So Dana, you were in the news this week.
You just joined the board of Meta. First of all, what do you do on a board? I've always wanted to be on a board.
I don't know what happens there. But what's your job on a board? Well, that's where we differ.
I never wanted to be on a board. I was never interested in it.
And then, you know, when Mark called me, I like the idea of this. I like social media.
I'm fascinated by it. I think it's the future of not just communication, information, but I think it is, you know, it's the future of media.
And obviously, AI is fascinating. And he reached out to me, asked me if I would be interested.
I was. And this was right after.
So I literally was on vacation in Italy. I flew to the RNC and Milwaukee spoke and flew right back to Italy.
And when I landed, I went to dinner and Mark hit me and said, you got a minute to talk. And I said, yeah.
And he asked me to be on the board. And he said, you always seem to be on the right side of everything.
My company needs a backbone. I said, let me see what this entails and and we got into it and and here we are but my first board meeting was when i was on vacation uh during the christmas break and you basically you know they'll pop up things that you know uh either questions or challenges that the company is facing and they asked the board to vote on it oh i didn't even realize what to do yeah yeah so you you just got brought in to like kick everybody's ass yeah the backbone that's pretty badass um we actually just i've been on the board for like two weeks and i've already done uh i've already done a lot of work in two weeks let's put it that way Yeah it's been it's been very interesting so far i got one so far so good i like i got one of those meta headsets and i i mean i i can't get enough of being in the metaverse it's it's insane the stuff that you can do are you planning on doing anything like that with with the ufc like being in the ring as close to the ring as possible not just in that experience to a whole nother level.
Like your sunglasses right now, you'll be able to do everything with your sunglasses on. Including watching content.
And yeah, have you tried the boxing game yet? No, I haven't tried that one yet. I've mostly just done like flight sims.
Thrill of the Fight, it's called. Thrill of the Fight.
Play of the fight play thriller for a month and watch the shape you get in so i'll actually i'll get jacked up yeah i'm telling you you'll get in sick shape yeah it's incredible all right what are you doing for for working out these days you looked like lean and mean i met this guy three years ago completely changed my life um i seriously i'm not even i feel like i'm 30 years old again and uh every day i do this thing called the superhuman protocol which is cold plunge sauna red light therapy oxygen therapy and i work out keto i i've never felt better in my life that's awesome what is it called the superhuman protocol superhuman protocol which is a group of things from oxygen therapy, red light therapy, cold plunge, and sauna. How long does that take? Yeah.
It takes like an hour and 15 minutes. So the whole working out and everything takes like two hours and 15 minutes a day.
And how long are we in the cold plunge for? Three minutes. Oh, that's not bad.
That's it? I could do three minutes. Yeah.
Three minutes at 50 degrees. Then you get in the sauna for 20 minutes at 180 degrees red light therapy for 20 oxygen therapy for 10 and then you do your workout wait so you work out after all that shit i thought that was the workout it depends on the timing sometimes i do before and sometimes i do after okay that's pretty intense i would like to just count that as my workout yeah if i spend an hour 15 minutes minutes being a superhuman protocol, then I have to go to the gym afterwards? That sounds like a lot.
That sucks. I might try cold plunge and we'll see.
But it shows you look awesome. Thanks.
Listen, you have a lot more time on your hands when you're unhealthy, believe me. I had a lot more time when I was unhealthy and dying.
Yeah. So while we've got you here, I don't know if you've seen the professional dick kicking league.
I've seen it. What do you think about it? Is there room for an investment there from UFC? Because, I mean, that kind of takes Power Slap to the next level.
I think I'm good on that one. I'm good.
I don't see much of a future in that. How is Power Slap going? Because, I mean, it always goes viral.
It's crazy to watch. Some of those guys are just hammering on each other.
The most successful business I've ever been a part of in such a short amount of time. Wow.
That's crazy. Who's the best? Well, we have champions in every division right now, but who's the best right now? I would have say crazy yeah crazy hawaiian yeah the crazy hawaiian is the best crazy i wouldn't want to fuck with the crazy hey is uh is conor mcgregor ever gonna fight again for you eventually okay is he gonna fight against maybe logan paul no in india ksi in india no no no.
Hopefully Conor McGregor returns in the fall of this year. We're all looking for it.
It would be very fun to watch him back in there. I know we missed it last time, but we want to see Conor back in there.
Are you going to do... I went to a couple shows at the Sphere.
Are you going to go back to the Sphere? It looked incredible. Like it's, it's the, it's the most incredible place in terms of concerts and venues.
Are you going to try to go back to the Sphere? It's so badass. I love the Sphere and anybody that's watching, if you're, if your favorite band ever ends up at the Sphere, you have to experience it there.
I just went and saw the eagles it was so good yeah so good um and no i'll never go back to the sphere oh why it just wasn't worth it it was a one no it was totally worth it yeah but it was a one and done for me it's very expensive and the difference between uh you know a musical group going in there they'll go in for two months right so they amortize the cost of doing the show over two months i went in there and spent 20 million bucks on one night right so that makes sense awesome it was an unbelievable experience i did it first i don't know if anybody else will ever do it and what i thought was cool i don't know if it was edc or but it was one of those like music they just did it and i saw stuff on uh on the um on instagram it looked incredible yeah why go out in the fucking middle of the desert uh when you could go in and do it at the sphere yeah yeah i mean those are two venues i really want to get to is red rocks and then see a see a band at the sphere but yeah thephere looks like it would just break your brain in a good way.

Yeah, no, the Sphere is a very, very cool experience.

So anybody who's listening,

believe me when I tell you, seeing it all about

if your favorite band ends up

at the Sphere, pay the money, fly

out to Vegas and go check it out.

Yeah, I agree. Do you ever hang

out with Mark Davis in Vegas? You guys

ever hit the town together? I just ran into him the

other night at dinner. I saw him the other night.
He was out

at dinner with Jim Gray. I ran into those two and

Thank you. Yeah, I agree.
Do you ever hang out with Mark Davis in Vegas? You guys ever hit the town together? I just ran into him the other night at dinner. I saw him the other night.
He was out at dinner with Jim Gray. I ran into those two.
Yeah, every time I see Mark, I go hang and we shoot the shit for a while. He's a good dude.
Yeah. Do you have any idea what the Raiders are going to be up to? I don't.
I didn't ask him any of that stuff. No.
Yeah, we ran into him. You know what's crazy? You know about where you know i tried to get brady to go play for the raiders yeah and uh it actually started to happen and then the deal imploded and uh then he goes to tampa bay and and wins the super bowl down there and then now he ends up owning a piece of the raiders yeah such a crazy story yeah why don't are you would you you ever own a piece of an NFL team or is that just not for you?

Nah, I'm not really into that.

I like

finding sports that

nobody else believes in.

Do you have any big plans

for this summer? What's next for the UFC?

Yeah, we're going to cruise around

and we're going to places. We've got Saudi

Arabia coming up on February 1st. We're doing Power Slap and UFC there.
We are going back to Seattle. We haven't been to Seattle in a long time.
We're heading back to Miami. We got March.
We got London, England. We got Saudi Arabia and Sydney, Australia back to back.
So I'm going to Saudi and then going straight from there to Sydney. A lot of travel and a lot of places we haven't been in a long time.
Is there one country that you've been to that you were surprised just how nuts they are for the UFC? Oh, I mean, you have to experience a fight in the UK. You have to experience it once in your life.
The fans are just different over there, man. It's it's it's very cool yeah when patty would when dave went over there to watch patty fight i was just like god damn it i wish i had gone because that looked so incredible 100 yeah it's it's it's a very cool experience plus like when you go when i started going to london in 2001 the food sucked over there the food was absolutely fucking brutal Now, in London, the food is off the charts.
It's completely flipped. It's a great place to go.
All right. They fixed the food in London.
All right. So, Dana, I had one last question.
Again, UFC 311 this Saturday night. Perfect timing right after the NFL games.

You said in December that you're going to do something.

You have something in the works that we will never fucking see coming for 2025. Can you give us just a hint? What's in the works? I mean, I guess I never expected you to be on the meta board.
Does that count? That wasn't it. Okay, all right.
What about no? I didn't see that coming either. What about oiling yourself up? We saw that coming.
I definitely don't see that coming. What about using your power on the board, get Zuck and Elon in the octagon? Oh! Actually, you know, when that was really being talked about, and when I was negotiating that deal, that was actually one of the coolest experiences of my career.
That was fun. every night i was on the phone with either one of them talking about and then we started talking

about the coliseum in rome and i seriously had a conference call with with uh you know the the the government rome to to try to make that happen that was all legit that was that was real and that was fun so who talked to but what i was talking about in december um yeah i i would imagine

it's probably going to happen and it's going to happen in the fall, a fight that I'm working on. Oh.
And we'll never see it coming. Nope.
Oh, man. Now I'm going to look for it coming.
Yeah. Now we're looking everywhere.
Can you give us a hint? That's your hint. Okay.
That it's going's going to take place in the fall yeah i still think it's you oiling yourself up that's just my guess i fucking i'll give you great odds that that's not it if i guess it will you give me a million bucks right now i don't even know what the fuck that means oil yourself it just oil up Yes, if you guess it, I'll give you a million dollars in cash.

Right now. I don't even know what the fuck that means, oil yourself.
It just oiled up, dude. It just oiled up.

Yes, if you guess it, I'll give you a million dollars in cash. Right now.
Okay. All right.
My guess is Don Jr. versus Hunter Biden.
Yeah, no, you lose. Okay.
All right. My guess.
Oh, man. Let's go with Dave Portnoy versus Roger Goodell.
Oh, that's a good one. You lose too.
Okay, but if you put that on, you owe us a million. You owe us a million if you put either of those fights on.
That's right. If either of those happen, I'll gladly pay you a million.
Okay, all right, done. I mean mean that's a great promotion because now for the next like nine months i'm just going to be thinking about what i'm not going to see coming yeah just look it over my shoulder all the time we're never going to see it coming all right so ufc 311 saturday night everyone tune in dana thank you so much for joining us man uh we love having you on and uh hopefully we see you soon thanks for having me boys take care guys on Guys on Chicks is brought to you by Aroxone.

That's E-R-O-X-O-N.us to learn more all right let's finish up we got guys on chicks my husband and his group of friends all have something called a burner account on x the everything app they all think it's hilarious and are constantly referring to each other in public as their burner nicknames at night my husband will be cackling at his phone in bed and i'll ask what's up and he responds things like just checking in on the burner verse he said i'm not allowed to follow him because it's his me time and every time i look at his page he and his buddies are just trolling people like fans of other teams and people who don't like caitlin clark what is going on and should i be concerned is this weird no it's awesome no it's weird yeah if you have a burner cut him out forever i got into the burner life a few years ago i only did for like two months i I had a burner account. And it's awesome.
No, it's weird. Yeah, if you have a burner, cut them out forever.
I got into the burner life a few years ago. I only did for like two months.
I had a burner account, and it's liberating. You can say whatever you want.
The SEC burner-verse, that goes crazy. Just like fans of different teams, it all kind of – the only thing I don't understand is they respond to each other, and they will write their fake name in like like it's almost a letter.
I never got that. Like they'll be like, hope you're doing well.
And then sign it like Reginald. Yeah.
But yeah, I mean, he's just having he's just fucking around online. Yeah.
It's like a diary for guys. If your diary was only meant to piss other people off.
Also, do not try to find it or follow him because you will not be happy. Well, the good they don't they don't show likes anymore yeah true so you can get away with a lot more in the true yeah some of the burners though are getting like very well there's some that are getting like they say like really crazy shit uh like racist shit but there's also some that are getting like it's i love watching the burners because when you get a little bit of following you can tell when the burner wants to also have a little bit of fame.

And so they like dip their toe in like they'll tweet pictures that like you could,

someone could potentially be like, I know where that is.

Yeah.

And it's like a very tricky situation that's fun to watch.

Yeah.

I mean, it's, I think it's healthy to have an outlet for some things,

but I don't like the verified burner accounts.

It's not a true burner if you have a checkmark. Yeah.
those get confusing. Yeah, you shouldn't verify your alt.
But I was just thinking about the Costco guys. How are they going to be affected by the TikTok ban? And also, how deep does this go? We know that it's a money game in Washington, D.C.
How many of these congress people are taking money from Walmart and they know that Costco is getting all this free advertisement on TikTok from the Walmart, from the Costco guys? So they're trying to ban TikTok to take out that big marketing stream that they got going on. These are good points.
I think the Costco guys might be single-handedly responsible for the government trying to ban TikTok. There are Walmart guys now.
Yeah, but they don't do it for me. They do it for me.
It's like anti-comedy. They don't even know what they're doing.
Okay, next one. My fiance doesn't ever make a move on me, and if he does, he says he needs to take a peek at my V, v which creeps me out how can i tell him to stop doing that and actually seduce me like a normal person what you take a peek at your v what i mean you're in too deep you're fucking engaged to be wed what peek at your v so this probably happened and like right off the bat she was like surely he has other moves that he'll show what the hell yeah uh this one creeps me out i think you got it with a guy like this you have to be very direct and you also like that maybe give him some suggestions of things that you can say yeah what do you say like i don't know that i get turned on

my straight v no you don't get turned on by v just looking at v i do no i need some b with the v listen hand up i love vaginas yeah but it's like i do too but like if i just showed you a picture You sound like you do either an ABV guy or a BBAV guy.

A BAB?

Boobs ass V?

Like. You're either an ABV guy or a BAV guy.
A BAV? Boob's ass V? Like, the question is not ass or tits. Yeah, yeah, right.
Yeah, people aren't like... It's A or B.
Yeah, ass or tits. Not A, B or V.
I'm a brains guy. I respect a woman's brains.
But if you look at like a full nude that has some V, it looks better. That's okay.
Yeah. But like a zoomed in V? No thing.
Yeah, zoomed in V. I don't think a zoomed in D would look good.
You're not zooming in on the V first? Sometimes you look at the V. Why do you guys hate V so much? I don't.
For me, it's like V is a buffalo wing, and the Bs are Blue Ranch. The A is celery.
Altogether, it's a beautiful picture. I don't think, though, like, isn't this like when dudes send chicks dick pics, chicks are like, what the hell is it? Like, just a solo dick pic is like, that doesn't do anything for girls.
Again, same thing. Chicks aren't sending V pics.
They're sending B and A pics. With some V.
I don't know where all this anti-V bias came. It's not anti-V.
It's a standalone entity. You don't just zoom in on a V.
A V video. Just like a picture of your balls would be not good.
Well, that's because dicks and balls are objectively gross. And God bless women.
I don't know how you put that stuff in your mouth. Vs are just fantastic.
Yeah. Vs are beautiful.
Vs are great. I love feeling Vs.
I never am like, I want i want to see that like wow just i want to just look at it i'm not looking at it i could look at a at b's and a's all day but i want to just like stare at a v i want to experience it's context yeah there needs to be context yeah yeah weird guy okay yeah the peak at, that's like a child. Yeah.
I need to see your V. It's crazy.
Peak at your V is worse. Yeah.
I'm in quite the predicament with my girlfriend. I'm a Massive Ohio State football fan and Ravens fan.
Last weekend was a huge weekend for me as I had the semifinals for our state wild card game for the Ravens. Both nights, my girlfriend made me go out on dates with her where I was barely able to see either of the games.
I was trying to watch my phone, but she wouldn't let me. Yikes.
Next weekend is obviously a little bigger for me now that I have divisional Ravens Bills game and Ohio State National Championship. My girlfriend wants to go away to a cabin.
No, this is not real. My girlfriend wants to go away to the long weekend, but I refuse to miss these games.
Please help me find a way out of this so I can watch my favorite sports teams in the playoff and hopefully win a national dumper.

Dude, these are the two.

I mean, you have those in, what, 24 hours because it's a late game on Sunday and then the national championship the next day?

Yeah.

And if you can't get playoff football, like if you can't negotiate a deal for playoff football, you're already in.

Right.

You're too far gone. I think you got to fake being sick.
This doesn't sound like a long term. I'll say it.
This does not sound like a good relationship that you're going to want to be in for a long time. Yeah.
These are meaningful games for me. I'm not going to a cap.
Unless the cabinet has TV. Then you can't think about think about if you're Ohio State Ravens fan, like two dates.
I know one is is is, you know, that's a settlement. Like I'll go on one, but I'm watching the other one.
Right. No, you can't.
You're getting forced into two dates. This is not real.
I like this. No, they said going to a long weekend in a cabin after two dates.
Oh, oh, I missed the two dates part the two dates last weekend oh both nights my girlfriend made me go out of dates with her oh i was barely able to see either of the games i was trying to watch my phone but she wouldn't let me oh yeah you're in trouble dude get out the problem the deep underlying issue is she doesn't understand your interests yeah yeah this is a pretty big time of year for those interests yeah that's bad i think if you really really like her fake being sick be like uh i gotta stay home because i'm puking like act like it's you're in elementary school and you you're trying to miss a test heat up the thermometer but that's just a that's a say you'll cut your dick on a on a flesh wound say you'll cut your dick off if notre d wins. Then she has interest.
Sounds like she might be into that.
